However, Su Wan still felt that the matter with the Xie family would definitely not work out. Mrs. Xie arranged a marriage for her eldest son, and then took a concubine for her eldest son after marrying a wife. If she agreed to such a thing, how could Mrs. Chen endure it? The Xie family was afraid It's going to be a big deal, and there will definitely be resentment between the sisters-in-law in the future.
She sighed: "It's a pity." Xie's family is pretty good.
We walked and stopped on the road, and arrived at Wangdi Town on the evening of the 27th. Although the journey was not far, the city gate was about to be closed at this moment, so after discussing with Mrs. Xie, we went to the town We rented a small courtyard to rest for one night and then go to the city tomorrow.
Because tomorrow is the day when Yue Ting gets married, Su Wan plans to go directly to the Zhenguogong Mansion after entering the city, and then return to Jingping Garden after having a banquet. When he enters the city tomorrow, he will divide his troops into two groups and arrange for a few people to capture them. The things he brought were sent back to Jingpingyuan and divided among them the day after tomorrow.
In the early morning of the next day, after breakfast, the group set out for the Imperial City together and went straight to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.
At this time, the Zhenguogong Mansion was already bustling with people. There was an endless stream of carriages in front of the door, and a queue formed behind it. One family of guests got off the carriage and had it moved away and resettled, and then another family came up.
Mr. and Mrs. Su Wan and Mrs. Xie's mother and son each took a carriage. As soon as the carriage arrived at the door, someone came up and said, "The princess and my cousin are here."
The man next to him also smiled: "Cousin, cousin-in-law, you are finally here."
The people who came were none other than Yue Zhen and Aunt Song. Aunt Song was a close confidant of the Duke of Zhen's wife. Everyone in the house would have to give her a face or two to pick them up, but on behalf of the Duke of Zhen's family. lady.
Su Wan smiled and lifted the curtain: "It's third cousin and Aunt Song. Why are you the ones coming out today?"
Mother Song's smile made her wrinkles wrinkle: "There are many things in the house today. Madam was afraid that the princess would come and there would be no one to take care of her, so she sent an old slave over. It happened that the old slave was old and couldn't do much. I was tired after standing for a long time, so I took over the matter."
Yue Zhen laughed twice: "Grandma asked me to entertain my cousin's husband. I will take him over for a drink later."
Li Lin also smiled: "I'll have a drink with you later when we have a banquet."
"It's easy to talk about."
After the two got off the carriage, someone moved the carriage away, leaving only the coachman watching the carriage.
Mrs. Xie also got off the carriage and came this way.
Su Wan introduced Ms.
After entering the gate and entering the outer garden, the male and female guests separated. Yue Zhen took Li Lin and Xie Yunzhi to the male guests' side, while Su Wan and Mrs. Xie followed Nanny Song to the female guests' side.
The two of them chatted for a while on the way, and Granny Song asked Su Wan, "When did the princess arrive?"
Su Wan smiled and replied: "I arrived at Wangdi Town yesterday evening. I saw that there was no time, so I rested all night. I only entered the city this morning. No, I came here as soon as I entered the city."
Sister Song said: "Yesterday, Madam was still talking about when the princess would come back. She thought that if she didn't come yesterday, she must have arrived today, so she asked me to go and wait for her."
Su Wan nodded: "How is grandma's health lately?"
"It's very good. The eldest son is getting married. Madam is very happy. With this happiness, everything is better. She only thinks about being able to hold her great-grandson in a few years." Mrs. Zhen Guo has been looking forward to it for so many years, and finally it is Got my wish.
"Did my cousin go to pick up the bride?"
"It's gone. The princess arrived just by chance. They left the house and the princess arrived."
"It doesn't matter. We'll see you soon anyway. When the bride comes in, I'll go see my cousin."
"That's a good feeling."
The group of people quickly entered the courtyard where they were hosting guests today. At this time, there were many people in the courtyard. Some were chatting in the house, while others were talking in the pavilion of the courtyard or in the flower garden beside the pond.
Because it was spring and the flowers were in bloom, the yard was decorated with flowers and was extremely lively and lively.
Su Wan walked all the way through the courtyard and was led to the main hall. At this moment, Mrs. Zhenguo and some ladies about her age were talking, and Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Jinning, was also among them.
Today is a big happy event for the Duke of Zhen Guo, and naturally she has to entertain the Duke of Jinning. The Yue family is gone, but Su Wan is still here, so the two families still have contacts, and their relationship is pretty good.
"Madam, the princess is back."
Mrs. Zhen Guo, who was sitting in the main seat, raised her eyes and saw Su Wan walking in. She immediately smiled: "A Wan is back, come and show grandma."
Su Wan smiled and walked forward with Mrs.
Mrs. Zhen Guogong did remember the person, but she laughed when she heard this: "I do remember that the daughter of the Wu family, the second wife of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, is your biological sister."
Mrs. Xie smiled and said: "The Duke's wife has a good memory, it's me."
"You haven't been back for years."
Mrs. Xie said: "It has been several years. I originally planned to come back this year, but I also heard that there is a happy event in my house. I happened to be traveling with the princess and came to congratulate my family on the great joy."
Mrs. Zhenguo laughed loudly: "You are interested, please sit down and talk."
Mrs. Zhenguo held Su Wan and talked for a while before letting her go. Su Wan found a seat next to Wang and sat down: "Grandma, sister-in-law."
Murong Xian was the only one accompanying Wang today. Yang and Jiang, Wang didn't want to take them out. As for Li, it was not appropriate to take her with her because it was a matter for the Zhenguo Duke's Palace. .
Wang looked at Su Wan, reached out to hold her hand, patted it, and said happily: "Yes, A Wan's face is getting better and better."
Su Wan stretched out her hand to touch her face and smiled: "I think so too. Grandma seems to be in good spirits."
Wang smiled and said, "It's really good."
Even though there were many trivial things, Wang held her great-grandson in her arms. Since she had Su Zhi, she has been in a good mood. Murong Xian also took her out and took care of all aspects carefully.
Wang feels that in a few years, she won’t have to worry about it anymore.
"Did Jingyuan come with you today?"
"Here he comes, my third cousin is taking him to the male guests."
"Are you and him okay?"
"It's okay."
Murong Xian said a few words to her, and then went to talk to Mrs. Xie. Su Wan and Mrs. Wang chatted about the current situation, ranging from the affairs of the Jinning Duke and his wife to the youngest Su Zhi.
Soon it was noon, and a tea banquet was arranged at the Zhenguo Duke's mansion, and everyone was invited to have a tea banquet.
