In the blink of an eye, it was five days later, and Li Qiniang received a greeting. The one who sent the greeting was Shanshan, a girl from the prefect of Pingcheng.

Zhong Kefeng returned to Pingcheng to participate in the rural examination, and got married after the provincial examination. He is now a juren.

The Zhong family had already built a house in the capital. The elders of the Zhong family were open-minded and generous. After worshiping their ancestors, they urged the couple to come to the capital together.

When she was in Pingcheng, Tong Shanshan followed her mother to visit Li Qiniang. Therefore, after she came to the capital, she handed a post to the Duke's Mansion.

Li Qiniang immediately asked someone to write a reply and asked Tong Shanshan to go to the house the next day.

The next day, Tong Shanshan came. Compared to when she was in Pingcheng, Tong Shanshan had almost no changes. She still had a white and tender baby face, with a curved eyebrows and eyes smiling. She looked like a girl who grew up in love.

Li Qiniang smiled and said, "If the princess knew you were here, she would be very happy."

As soon as Tong Shanshan arrived in the capital, she heard people telling the story of Princess Rui being pregnant. There was no way. In order to cause trouble for the Zhu family, Princess Rui spread the news throughout the capital. It was difficult for Tong Shanshan to know if she didn't want to.

Tong Shanshan was happy for Yan Xuehuai. She didn't envy Yan Xuehuai for being a princess. She only envied Yan Xuehuai for becoming pregnant shortly after she got married. The Zhong family was poor and her in-laws were looking forward to holding her grandson, otherwise she would not have let her go to Beijing with her husband.

Tong Shanshan brought a lot of gifts, which were not expensive, and were all local specialties from Pingcheng. She sent Tong Shanshan away. Li Qiniang picked some gifts and asked someone to send them to Mrs. Ye, and picked a few more for Wen Xiu and her daughter. She also sent someone to send a letter to Prince Rui's Mansion and told Yan Xuehuai about Tong Shanshan's coming to the capital.

There are too many taboos in the royal palace. Tong Shanshan can submit posts to the Duke's Mansion, but she cannot ask for Yan Xuehuai rashly.

So when Yan Xuehuai heard that Tong Shanshan had come to the capital, she immediately sent the Yang family's wife to the Zhong Mansion and invited the eldest lady of the Zhong family to the Rui Mansion two days later.

Two days later, Yan Xuehuai finally met Tong Shanshan in the palace. The little sisters met and were extremely intimate.

Tong Shanshan looked at her slightly raised belly and said in surprise: "I'm already pregnant?"

Yan Xuehuai touched her stomach and had no choice but to do anything: "It was still flat a few days ago, but it would be obvious if you say it. If you come a few days later, I will have to be full of belly."

Tong Shanshan's tone when she heard her speech was still the same as before, and she lost all the timidity she had in her heart.

"By the way," Tong Shanshan subconsciously looked around. Yan Xuehuai winked. Dill came out with five or six maids one after another. Tong Shanshan's maid also retreated. Tong Shanshan then said, "When I came, I heard that the Empress Dowager was very ill."

Yan Xuehuai calculated his days and took a month to walk from Pingcheng to Beijing. Tong Shanshan heard about it before leaving, but the death of the Empress Dowager in the capital has not been heard so far. In other words, the Empress Dowager has been with her for a month.

There are more than twenty days left before King Zhuang’s wedding, and even if the Empress Dowager is dead now, the news will not be heard.

However, it is very likely that after King Zhuang’s wedding, the Empress Dowager will collapse.

Poor Miss Wu Jiu took off her big red and was about to hang out. The Empress Dowager of the Taihuang had become a monk. The monks had broken off their relatives and were buried as monks. Whether or not the Empress Dowager of the Taihuang depends on the emperor's intention.

Yan Xuehuai asked about the latest news about Pingcheng again, and she was interested in these things now.

Tong Shanshan said something she heard was nothing more than the things about the back home of a wealthy family. Suddenly, she patted her head and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, there is something I should tell you."

"What's the matter?" Yan Xuehuai became interested.

"There is a house in the Yan family who has returned to Pingcheng. My mother told me not to tell the Duke's wife about this. I thought about not telling the Duke's wife, but I can tell you, the princess." Tong Shanshan said.

"From the Yan family?" Yan Xuehuai thought for a moment. In addition to Yan Jingguang who was left in Qingshui County, Yan Jingwen was sold. Everyone else died. Yes, Yan Zhaoshan died on the way to serve labor. Needless to mention Yan Zhaoshi's room, there is only three Yan Zhaolin.

Yan Xuehuai remembered that when she returned to the capital from Pingcheng that year, she saw Yan Xueping and Zeng on the pier.

She asked, "The third bedroom? The whole family has moved back?"

"Yes, it's three bedrooms," Tong Shanshan said affirmatively, "When they were in Pingcheng, they had no fixed residence, so their household registration was settled in Banzi Dachang. Now there are not so many refugees in Pingcheng, and Banzi Dachang has been demolished long ago. When they go back, they can only go to the yamen to re-register. His family is also a celebrity in Pingcheng, so this matter was reported to my father."

Yan Xuehuai thought to herself, how could ordinary people register in the yamen be heard? It must be because of her and Li Qiniang.

Yan Xuehuai was not wrong. The current magistrate took office later. After he took office, he inquired about Pingcheng. Li Shiji had two shops in Pingcheng. Li Shiji's boss was the wife of Dingguo. After inquiring more, he also found out about Yan Zhaoshi and Li Qiniang and divorced back then.

The magistrate didn't know Yan Zhaolin, but who made him only one word different from Yan Zhaoshi? Yan Zhaolin's family's household registration was indeed in Pingcheng. The magistrate could not drive them out of Pingcheng. He was worried that he would offend Duke Ding for this, so he passed this incident to the magistrate Tong's palace.

"How do they make a living in Pingcheng?" Yan Xuehuai remembered that last time he saw Yan Xueping on the dock, it seemed that he was selling food.

"Their family is really thick-skinned. They actually learn from Li Shiji to sell rice with rice. However, Li Shiji has a shop, but their family is pushing a cart to sell on the street, just to take pictures of cats and tigers." Tong Shanshan looked disdainful. She was an official lady and naturally looked down on the hawkers on the street.

Yan Xuehuai would not think so. If Li Shiji had not had a good business back then, she might have pushed a cart to hawk.

As long as it is earned with clean and hard money, you will not be embarrassed.

"It's just a rice dumpling, it's not difficult. Besides, it's not invented by our family. If they want to sell it, just sell it. Do they only sell rice dumplings, buns and sesame cakes?" Yan Xuehuai asked with a smile.

"Don't worry, the taste of Li Shiji's buns is the only one in Pingcheng. I can't learn it even if I want to. If I hadn't thought that there would be Li Shiji in Beijing, for the sake of that bun, I might not be willing to come to Beijing. There is also your osmanthus pancake, which is crispy and crispy, which is also awesome."

Tong Shanshan swallowed her saliva. After she came to the capital, she sent someone to Li Shiji. Unfortunately, there were only buns and no osmanthus sesame cakes. After asking the Duke's wife, she found out that she wanted to buy osmanthus sesame cakes and wanted to go to Qianweiju. When she turned around, she asked someone to buy sesame cakes at Qianweiju.

"Then they only sell rice with dough?" Yan Xuehuai asked.

"That's not, they even sell big steamed buns. By the way, the ones who do business in their family are a man and a woman, probably his son and daughter. The girl is very fierce, quarreled with people on the street and alarmed the security bureau." Tong Shanshan said.

It seems that it was Yan Xueping and Yan Jinglong. Yan Xuehuai can no longer remember what Yan Jinglong looked like. He only remembers the last time he saw him, he kicked him out.

After Chai Yan came back, Yan Xuehuai told him about the Empress Dowager's illness. Chai Yan said, "Du has been sick for a year. At the beginning, he pretended to be true. Don't worry, the father would not let her enter the imperial tomb, so when Xiao Gu captured Zhou, you just put on big red clothes and dressed up beautifully."

Yan Xuehuai breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the emperor would not let Du be buried as the Empress Dowager Du, otherwise she would have to have a hundred days of mourning and a simple dress for twenty-seven months. Of course, she could not wear big red clothes to give the drum a year-old ceremony.

So Yan Xuehuai threw the matter of the Empress Dowager out of the sky. A few days later, Lu Jinxing and the second young master Wu returned to the capital.

The one who accompanied him was the prefect Peng. As soon as the prefect Peng arrived in the capital, he entered Dali Temple and has not come out yet.

Miss Lu Si came to Yan Xuehuai and told her about the Peng family.

It turned out that the family of the magistrate Peng also came to the capital, but they were not escorted to the capital with the magistrate Peng. The magistrate Peng was not as guilty as his family, so he sealed up his property, did not confiscate, nor detained his family.

"Princess, you must not guess why the female members of the Peng family came to Beijing." Miss Lu Si's nostrils opened, and her angrily looked very cute.

Yan Xuehuai had no good impression of the Peng family's female family. When she remembered the last time she went to see her, she asked: "Can you want to ask someone to plead for the Prime Minister Peng."

Miss Lu Si sneered, but the sneer did not match her appearance, and it sounded a bit funny.

"If they come to the capital to ask for mercy, I will not bother to pay attention. Princess, you must have thought that they had plotted against my second brother in Jiangning, but they failed to succeed, and they actually followed them all the way to the capital."

Miss Lu Si was very angry and hit her legs with a small fist, which made her chuckling and she shook her hands and breathed.

The maid quickly rubbed her hands and knees. Yan Xuehuai laughed loudly. After laughing enough, she asked: "The mother and daughter of the Peng family plotted against Mr. Lu, but only plotted against him, but not Mr. Wu?"

"Wu Er has many tricks. Can they calculate as long as they want? They saw that my second brother was honest and honest, so they didn't give up."

Yan Xuehuai thought he had heard it wrong and asked: "Your honest second brother is Lu Jinxing?"

"Of course, besides him, do I have another second brother?" Miss Lu Si asked back.

Yan Xuehuai was silent. She no longer knew the four words "loyalty and honest".

It turned out that after Chai Yan and Yan Xuehuai left, Ms. Peng tried every means to meet Lu Jinxing by chance. Some of the carriages were broken and some of them were robbed by thieves. Miss Peng used the tricks commonly used in the scripts on Lu Jinxing. Of course, it was impossible to rely on her, a little girl, but she would have the support of Zuo's mother, so she would have twice the result with half the effort.

At first, Lu Jinxing was not wary and almost fell into a trap. Fortunately, he had Mr. Wu, who was by his side since he was a child, and only he had plotted against others, but no one could have plotted against him.

In this regard, Lu Jinxing sighed that he was not as good as that.

Like Miss Lu Si, Lu Jinxing felt that he was really loyal and honest compared to Mr. Wu Er, so he was with Mr. Wu every day. Sure enough, although the Peng family had many tricks, it was useless. He was even obsessed with evil men twice. If Mr. Wu Er did not want to make things worse, Miss Peng would probably not have come out to see others in the future.

Later, when the prefect Peng wanted to come to the capital, the Peng family's property was sealed. Zuo simply did it all and brought his daughter to the capital together.

Dali Temple has not been convicted yet. Along the way, Lu Jinxing and others were very polite to the prefect Peng and did not make any trouble. They found that the Peng family's female family followed behind and pretended not to see it.

Unexpectedly, this made Zuo think again. He actually thought that Lu Jinxing was probably interested in his daughter. So Ms. Peng gave her things to her father every now and then, and she had to give Lu Jinxing one as well.

Lu Jinxing returned the things, and Miss Peng will remain the same next time.

Until he came to the capital, Lu Jinxing finally got rid of the mother and daughter, but unexpectedly, Zuo asked Zuo to go to Zuo Li's house. Zuo Li's wife was the wife of Meng's aunt, and Meng and Lu Jinxing's mother were handkerchiefs. Zuo came to the door and told Lu Jinxing and Miss Peng that it was a natural place, which made Meng mistakenly think that the two were in love, but he did not dare to take Zuo to the Lu family and sent Zuo away. Meng invited a storyteller and asked Mrs. Lu to come and listen to the storyteller.

The two handkerchiefs were handed over and they could talk about everything. When Mrs. Lu returned home, she called Lu Jinxing over. She first attacked indirectly, and then threatened and tempted her. Lu Jinxing honestly told her, but Mrs. Lu still didn't believe her. In the end, Lu Jinxing had to invite Mr. Wu to come over to prove her innocence. Mrs. Lu believed her.

Yan Xuehuai was dumbfounded and asked, "Your second brother is okay, right?"

Miss Lu Si breathed out: "He is fine, I'm fine."

Yan Xuehuai became curious: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's not Wu Er yet. He is a thief. He not only pleases my second uncle and second aunt, but also pleases my father and my mother." Miss Lu Si covered her face with two white and tender little hands, "We both want to discuss a kiss!"

Yan Xuehuai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed loudly. She pointed at Miss Lu Si, incredible: "You, are you going to marry Wu Jiu's brother? Are you going to be your sister-in-law for Wu Jiu?"

"Please, they are not brothers and sisters, they are just cousins ​​in the same house." Miss Lu Si corrected.

"You and Lu Jinxing are also cousins. Like them, you are Wu Jiu's sister-in-law, Wu Ersan, hahaha!"

Yan Xuehuai suddenly remembered that when she was married, Miss Lu Si talked about her sister's marriage, and the groom wrote five poems in one breath before entering the door. At that time, Miss Wu Jiu seemed to have asked specifically if this was the rule of the Lu family.

Ha, it seems that the Wu family had planned it, or the elders of the Wu family didn't know that this was all the tricks of Wu Er and Wu Jiu.

"Before this, have you met Mr. Wu Er?" Yan Xuehuai asked.

"Of course I've seen it, I've seen it several times, that bad guy, big bad guy!" Miss Lu Si gritted her teeth, but no matter how she looked, she didn't seem to be angry, she seemed to be angry.

Yan Xuehuai knew what to be a witness for Lu Jin’s business, it was clearly that Mr. Wu, the second young master, wanted to take the opportunity to give a good review in front of the Lu family. Look, the praise was not in vain, and the two families had already started discussing marriage.

"I really didn't expect that the three of us became relatives," Yan Xuehuai said with a smile, "Wu Jiu is my sister-in-law, and you are Wu Jiu's sister-in-law again."

Miss Lu Si thought about it and it was true. She suddenly realized: "I am the biggest of us three, no, the sins are the biggest, the princess is the biggest, the princess is the biggest."
