Almighty Queen

Chapter 8 The Undercurrent Begins to Surge

"Yingxue (Yingyue, Liujin), meet the old lady!"

Cheng Liujin followed Cheng Yingxue and Cheng Yingyue, learning to salute in a decent manner. To be honest, because Cheng Liujin was a concubine, no one had ever taught her these things.

And Wang Xiuqing actually meant that. Cheng Liujin knew nothing, so, with the comparison of her two daughters, it was difficult for Cheng Liujin to think of not being ugly, but it turned out that she was wrong.

Because, although Cheng Liujin's posture is a little strange, not as good as Cheng Yingxue and sisters', but it's not so bad that you can't see it.

After all, learning is selling now.

"Good good, good boy."

The old lady's smiling eyes were narrowed, and then she took out three kits from her sleeves, and smiled at the three of them, "Come on, this is a meeting gift."

"Thank you, old lady."

The three hurried up to pick it up, and thanked them again. At this time, Cheng Liujin realized that the kit in his hand was pink, while Cheng Yingxue and Cheng Yingyue's were red.

In ancient times, there was a saying that grades were judged by color. True red is a color that can only be used by the royal family and the descendants. Therefore, the closeness and distance can be seen at a glance.

"Come here, this is your second aunt, and your third uncle and third aunt."

The old lady pointed at the men and women sitting next to her in turn, and the three of them quickly bowed their heads and said, "Second Aunt, Third Uncle and Third Aunt."

"Hey, these three children are so handsome, they are like sister-in-law at first glance."

The third aunt smiled like a flower, and then she came forward, took Cheng Yingxue's hand and said, "Xiaoxue, I didn't expect you to be so old. When the elder brother left, the elder sister-in-law was still young."

"Third Aunt..."

Wang Xiuqing couldn't help frowning slightly when she said this sentence, what do you mean she is still young, she is the youngest now!

And Cheng Yingxue kept a decent smile all the time, but she immediately let out a cold snort in her heart, her mother was indeed right, Third Aunt, it was true that there was a knife hidden in her smile.

"Lixin, there will be plenty of time to reminisce about the past, let them meet your sister-in-law and these three sisters first."

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Cheng Liujin noticed that behind the second uncle, second aunt, third uncle and third aunt, there was a long row of young masters and young ladies.

"I met my aunt."

This group of people quickly stepped forward to salute Wang Xiuqing, and Wang Xiuqing laughed again and again, glanced at Mrs. Wang, and then said, "Your uncle is busy with work and has to accompany the Holy Majesty all day, so I have no choice but to The eldest aunt came to express her gratitude, but please don't blame her."

After speaking, Mrs. Wang brought up a tray containing the same red velvet brocade boxes, and everyone quickly took it, expressing their thanks again and again.

"Shu Yi is the prime minister, so naturally he must put the Holy Majesty and public affairs first."

The old lady nodded, then stretched out her fingers and said, "Look, this is Yingyu, the eldest daughter of the second family, those two are from the concubine, and this is the daughter of the third family, Yingwan, and that one is also from the concubine. The next pair belong to the fourth family, Yinglin and Yushuo."

The old lady seemed to have it very easy, so she introduced all the nine princes and young ladies, and Cheng Liujin also scanned them one by one, secretly remembering everyone, and had a preliminary understanding of the old lady in her heart, then That is, under the standard feudal thinking, the old lady in a feudal powerful family.

Because, when she introduced these sons and ladies, she only focused on the sons and daughters who were descended from the concubine, and those born from the concubines were not even eligible to be nominated.

"This time, we moved our family here just to make our Cheng family flourish, and the juniors can also have a good future. Daughter-in-law, what do you think?"

"Mom, what you said is that our Cheng family will definitely get better and better."

Wang Xiuqing nodded obediently, thinking, although the master is the prime minister, he doesn't run a restaurant, and the old lady dragged her family to bring them all. If this happens, the income and expenditure of the mansion will be messed up Set up?

"As for me, before I came, I sold all the Zhuangzi and the land at home, and I wanted to continue to buy some Zhuangzi and so on here, and let Lao San and Lao San's family take care of it, and pay you some money on a monthly basis. , so many people want to eat and drink, I can't ask you to pay for nothing."

As the old lady said, she turned around and glanced at a purple-clothed nanny beside her. Immediately, the nanny took out an envelope from her bosom, and handed it to the old lady respectfully with both hands. After passing through the old lady's hand, she was pushed In front of Wang Xiuqing.

"Mother, this is..."

"Here, this is the old woman's meal money. By the way, let's see if Shuyi can find a way to find a way for Shujing or something, so as to honor my Cheng family's lintel."

Just as Wang Xiuqing wanted to refuse, the old lady interrupted her, and even reached out and stuffed the envelope directly into Wang Xiuqing's hands, holding the not-so-thin envelope, Wang Xiuqing estimated in her heart that these would cost about 3000 taels.

However, immediately, Wang Xiuqing became a little unhappy again, and she said, how could the old lady be so kind all of a sudden, it turned out that she wanted the second uncle to be transferred from that remote town to Beijing, hmph, so many years have passed , I still have been leaning towards them, wanting to be a high-ranking official, why don't you just open your mouth.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiuqing pinched the bank note with her fingers, and pinched the envelope into big wrinkles.

After hearing this, Cheng Liujin finally understood. She thought that her second uncle had already left for Hexi, but it turned out that she had an official position, so she couldn't follow her.

"Hey, old lady, look at what you said, this matter, the elder brother is not easy to handle, we are all a family, with the elder brother here, what can't be done?"

Seeing this, the third aunt Chen Lixin smiled again, a trace of success flashed in her bright eyes, and hearing what she said, Wang Xiuqing gritted her teeth secretly, but her face was still smiling and agreed. , "What the third sibling said is that we are all a family, so naturally we have to help each other. Let the master handle this matter himself when he comes back."

"That's it."

Seeing Wang Xiuqing's answer, the old lady nodded in satisfaction, and said to her second aunt Zhao Xiaorong, "The second one, please thank your sister-in-law soon."

"Thank you sister-in-law!"

From the very beginning, the second aunt never said a word, just listened silently, even if the old lady opened her mouth about their family's affairs, the second aunt still sat down on the bench, and until the old lady After shouting, she got up to thank her. From this, it can be seen that the old lady really loves the second uncle and the second aunt's family.

However, Cheng Liujin was also inside and heard the sound of sparks flying. This discovery made her very happy. If Wang Xiuqing was busy fighting with the second aunt and the third aunt, she probably wouldn't have the time to beat herself up again, right?
