At this moment, the people who came back were all 'outsiders', and just now, Luo Lao Furen had also told her some things that she didn't know.
Those who came in included Jingwan's maternal grandmother, as well as her maternal aunt who came to the capital a few months ago, as well as her maternal aunt's cousin who had not yet married.
Her maternal aunt, whose face was thicker than the city walls, had named her third brother Luo Jingbo by name and even righteously wanted to take her daughter as a concubine, vainly attempting to take the position of a second wife and even relying on the status of a relative to be above the official wife. Also, her younger sister-in-law had designs on Li Hongyuan, but in the end, she was almost directly pressed into the river by Li Hongyuan's people and was killed.
It wasn't that there weren't people who came to propose marriage because of Jingwan, attempting to climb up the ranks of Jin Qinwang fu in a roundabout way. Unfortunately, this maternal aunt didn't like the other party's family background at all. As for her younger sister-in-law, no one cared about her. Dragging it out until now, seeing that she was moving closer and closer to becoming an old lady, she still refused to leave the capital no matter what. Knowing that Jingwan didn't like them, they still shamelessly came to the Luo family's door today. It was nothing more than letting people see that they had a 'good relationship' with Jin Qinwang Fei, paving the way for the future. And the Luo family was worried that if they didn't let them in, they would cause a ruckus outside the door. At that time, the one who would lose face would not only be the Luo family, but also Jingwan.
Of the three aunts, Eldest Aunt was naturally the most familiar with her and had the best relationship with Yuan Qiaoqiao. Speaking of which, Yuan Qiaoqiao was already married and her actions were quite swift. The main reason was that she had pushed it back until next year as she was slightly older. Another reason was probably that Eldest Aunt really liked the man. He was the son of the governor of the capital. After all, Luo Peishan had been promoted to Minister of Appointments, Jingwan had become Jin Qinwang Fei, and Yuan Qiaoqiao's father was in the Ministry of Appointments. It was impossible for her status not to rise. The man who came to propose marriage naturally had a better family background, so it was normal for Eldest Aunt to be satisfied. Second Aunt's family also seemed to be shameless. On the day of Jingwan's coming-of-age ceremony, they also schemed against Luo Jingbo. In the end, they implicated Luo Jingming and directly angered Old Madam Luo, who forbade them from coming to visit again. Today, they came to the Luo family because the Luo family didn't chase them away. As for Third Aunt, Jingwan really hadn't interacted with her alone before. She also hadn't interacted with her cousins in the family. Third Aunt's temperament seemed to be a little indifferent to fame and fortune, and the children she brought up were more or less similar to her.
Before the Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, the eldest cousin was pregnant again, and the second cousin also had good news. Now, they were both out of confinement. The two babies were separated by two days, and they were both girls. The eldest cousin's first child was a boy, so it was not a big deal that it was a girl, but the cousins' in-laws were a little dissatisfied. However, with the Luo family's status, they did not dare to say anything on the surface. Because the child was young, they did not bring it along.
These people basically came together. Although their expressions were as calm as possible, most of them were unable to express their emotions. Envy, jealousy, surprise, and surprise could all be seen clearly. Not to mention, Madam Luo was an old and experienced person. She basically knew what was going on in a flash.
"What good things did Wan Wan bring for Grandmother today? Show me the gift list," Madam Luo said with a smile.
The gift list for Madam Luo and the Minister of Personnel Affairs was already in the hands of Madam Luo's mother. When she heard Madam Luo's words, she hurriedly presented it with a smile.
Madam Luo's eyesight was not bad. Opening the gift list, she understood. Sure enough, the gifts were too generous, causing these people to have different thoughts. Although the gifts given to her were definitely thicker than those of the other branches, with her understanding of Jingwan, she could also be sure that the other gifts would not be bad, even if it was the second branch that she had disagreements with. This granddaughter of hers, ah, had never valued worldly possessions. In addition, Jin Qinwang, who was diligently giving her good things, was probably still stuffing her with money to spend, so she probably did not care about these things.
"You want to empty out Jin Qinwang fu?" Madam Luo tilted her head and asked Jingwan with a smile.
"How could I, I bought them all in Jiangnan. Wangye gave me a lot of banknotes and let me buy them for fun. As a result, I bought them all the way and accidentally bought too much." Jingwan said a little bitterly, "When I bought them, I didn't take it seriously. After returning to the capital, I found out when I was tidying up."
"You ah, Wangye dotes on you, so don't take the money seriously. It's not like the wind blew it over."
"Grandmother, don't worry, it's just this time. It's just a coincidence. In the future, even if I want to squander it, I probably won't have the chance."
Madam Luo nodded and did not say anything more. And these things, she accepted them with a clear conscience and did not feel that there was any problem.
Then, whether it was those who wanted to say sour words or those who wanted to compliment, they all swallowed their words back into their stomachs.
Today, they would come to the Luo family. Jingwan did not think about it, but even if she thought about it, she would not bring the things she gave them to the Luo family.
Afterwards, Jingwan talked with them. She could act coquettishly and foolishly in front of Madam Luo. In front of them, she could be easy-going, but she could not completely put down the airs of a qinwang fei. If people felt that a qinwang fei was no different from an ordinary woman in the inner residence who could say anything and still reprimand her like a junior, then it would damage Li Hongyuan's face and even the dignity of the Imperial Family. Therefore, lowering herself was not something that could be done if she wanted to. If the relationship between them became too big, it was not something that could be won over with a few words.
Yuan Qiaoqiao followed her mother and did not speak up at this time. At first, she was a little nervous and worried that the relationship between them would become distant. But after receiving a look from Jingwan, she was relieved. She secretly made a face and then lowered her eyebrows and hid her eyes, pretending to be obedient.
Jingwan laughed secretly. Well, she thought that this cousin of hers had restrained her temperament after getting married. Sure enough, it was easy to change mountains and rivers but hard to change a person's nature. It turned out that it was all a pretense.
Except for that aunt's family and second aunt's family, Jingwan basically did not neglect the others. According to the relationship between them, she could more or less say a few words with a smile. Her attitude was just right so that they did not dare to overstep their boundaries. They also did not feel that Jingwan had become arrogant and looked down on them because of her high status. She did not look like someone who had only been a Qinwang Fei for a little more than half a year. As for those two families, Jingwan made it clear that she did not like them. She did not like them and had no interest in pretending to be magnanimous and forgiving. If you were magnanimous and forgiving, some people would only take an inch and want a mile.
When she was talking to her two cousins, "… This child has been born. Why didn't someone send a message to me in Jiangnan?"
Eldest cousin sister Luo Jingshu immediately smiled and said, "Prince is on a business trip in Jiangnan. The Wangfei has to serve Prince on the way. It is difficult to disturb him because of a junior."
"Eldest sister is right. That is the reason." Luo Jingqiang also smiled and agreed.
"It is a happy occasion to have a son in the family. How can there be a disturbance?"
"In any case, their Wangfei's aunt will definitely come back. This gift will definitely not be lacking."
Jingwan smiled and nodded. "When we return, I will double the three baptismal gifts and the full moon gift."
"See, it was right not to say this before. There are so many things, aren't there?" Luo Jingshu teased.
Everyone else also laughed. The atmosphere was quite harmonious, except for some places that were not harmonious.
"When the children are older, bring them to the Prince's Mansion to play. Let me take a good look at them. Daughters are like little cotton-padded jackets. Take good care of them. In the future, they will definitely be the best. "Jingwan said meaningfully.
Everyone was smart and naturally understood. Luo Jingshu tilted her head and glanced at Luo Jingqiang. She was still fine. She had a son by her side. This third younger sister wanted to support her second younger sister. However, there was another layer of meaning. As long as they were good girls, as long as their Wangfei aunt was around, their future would not be bad. Giving a pile of good things, compared to promising their children a future, was actually nothing. It was very comforting. Naturally, her smile became more sincere.
Luo Jingqiang also understood in her heart and was very grateful. As long as her daughter received a few good words from her aunt, her status would immediately rise. Those people in her husband's family would not dislike her. Instead, they would pamper and love her as if she was their precious treasure. Even her own status would be more stable.
However, the prerequisite for a good future was a good girl. Whether it was in the past or now, they clearly knew that Jingwan was not a stingy person. She was willing to help her family if she could. However, if their character was not good enough and they did something disgusting, then it would be embarrassing. Even if they met her face to face, she would not bother to say a word to them, let alone receive benefits from her. Therefore, it was very important for the children's upbringing.
Regardless of whether those who had a bad relationship with Jingwan regretted it or not, in short, they were determined to teach their juniors well. As for the Luo family who were not present, they would definitely know what Jingwan meant. This would be a good start. Moreover, they would not know that the Princess Consort was just the beginning of Jingwan's marriage. In the future, she would be the mother of the world and become the most honorable woman in the world. As for the Luo family, they would be the only relatives. Even if they did not have a high position and high salary, their status was unparalleled. As the saying goes, if one could not climb up to the Emperor, then he would naturally climb up to the Empress. Climbing up to the Empress was naturally to build a relationship with the Luo family, and marriage was still the most mainstream way to build a relationship. There were many high officials, nobles, and even members of the imperial family in the capital. As for the young masters and young ladies of the Luo family, there were definitely not enough. Then, those who were close to the Luo family, as well as those who were purely on good terms with Jingwan, would also be promoted to the top. In this way, even if their status was not high enough, as long as they got Jingwan's word, they would definitely not have to worry about a good marriage.
If their character was not good enough, Jingwan would definitely not do things that would cheat people and create resentful couples.
Of course, this was something that would happen more than ten years later, so let's not talk about it for now.
As they were gossiping, the masters of the Luo family gradually came over. The adults were still reserved and did not show too much emotion, but the younger ones were quite happy at this time. Jingwan had also prepared the gifts with great care. As long as it was a child, regardless of whether it was the previous generation or the next generation, she would give it to them. Although there were some differences in the status of the legitimate wife and concubines, the difference was not big. The other gifts were given to the husband and wife as a unit. Speaking of which, as the elders, they understood Jingwan's temperament. As the legitimate mother, perhaps when she saw Jingwan giving the concubine's children gifts, she had some thoughts in her heart, but she did not want to embezzle them. At this time, how stupid would she be to do such a thing?
As for the third branch, Madam Liu's thoughts had faded. She wholeheartedly taught the legitimate son and took care of the legitimate daughter. She did not expect Luo Jingying to marry into a good family again. It would be good if she could spend the rest of her life in the Luo family. As for the younger concubine's children, Madam Liu did not treat them harshly. The eldest concubine's son, Madam Liu, also married Luo Jingming's wife into the family. Madam Liu treated this young lady of the Honglu Temple's official's family with a relatively high status, but she did not make things difficult for her. She did not say that she was a good mother-in-law, but she definitely did not make things difficult for her. She just let the young couple live their own lives.
The group of younger ones all smiled and thanked Jingwan. Older Sister Princess Consort first, followed by Older Sister Princess Consort behind. The sweet mouthed ones kept saying auspicious words, while the clumsy ones anxiously followed. The more anxious they were, the more they stuttered, making everyone laugh. The last one was Luo Jingde's eldest son. Although he could walk now, he was not very stable. He swayed from side to side, which was very amusing. He also did not want to be left out and walked forward. He followed the older one and vaguely called out, "Older Sister Princess Consort."
His mother, Madam Liu, followed by his side. She gently slapped his little butt and laughed, "Little brat, what are you saying? You should call Princess Consort Aunt. Aunt, do you understand?"
Jingwan reached out and picked up the little one. This child had always been weak when he was in his mother's womb. Although the reason was found later and he was not born prematurely, he was still relatively weak. After raising him for more than a year, he was now chubby and very cute.
"Princess Consort, don't hold him. This little one is very active and his skin is tough. Be careful not to hurt him."
"How could I?" As a matter of fact, Jingwan was hugging him tightly. With her strength, how could she not be able to control the little guy?
Madam Luo reached out and pinched the little one's chubby hand, "Brother Rui is usually a little shy with strangers, but he is very close to Wan Wan. It has been more than half a year, but he still seems to remember."
"That's right. Our Brother Rui doesn't remember anyone, but he can't forget Aunt Princess Consort. If it wasn't for Aunt Princess Consort, you little brat might not have been born." Madam Liu said with a smile. This was her precious baby. Every time she thought that he might be gone at that time, her heart would ache.
"That's right. That's our Brother Rui's fate." Jingwan liked these simple and cute children very much. If they were really gone, she would definitely feel bad.
"Aunt, Aunt …" Brother Rui was happy in Jingwan's arms and rubbed against her mischievously.
"Brother Rui also agrees with Aunt's words, right?" Jingwan smiled and could not stop kissing his little face.
The little one held onto Jingwan's face and kissed her back.
This time, Madam Luo was amused, "If your uncle sees you, you little brat, you will be punished."
Jingwan was a lot more thick-skinned now, so she did not mind her grandmother's teasing. The others also laughed, including the little ones. Although they were not sensible, they were also laughing happily.
"It's so lively." Sun Yijia came in with her daughter, Sister Xuan.
Perhaps the little one saw the little brother, so she also stretched out her hand in a babbling voice.
"Oh, this little one also recognizes people." The people next to her laughed.
Sun Yijia was straightforward and directly carried Sister Xuan over.
Thus, one on each side of Jingwan's legs, the two little ones were very familiar with each other and were very affectionate with each other.
"Princess Consort likes children so much. When are you going to have two? If you ask me, I might have already been born. "
Even if Jingwan did not like them, they still did not want to be lonely and wanted to make their presence known. However, when they heard this, Jingwan did not do anything, but the others were silent. Little Wang and Sun Yijia quickly reached out and wanted to take the children back. If they were really born, the two children would make a fuss. What if something happened …
"Don't worry, it's fine. The mansion doctor in the mansion will check my pulse at any time. Besides, if there is something wrong with my body, I will be more or less aware. I am very good." However, because of her status, Jingwan did not continue to carry the two little ones.
Since the children were returned, she did not mention this again and did not mention it.
After that, the third branch and the fourth branch arrived at almost the same time. This time, Jingwan naturally noticed the unfamiliar face, Second Sister-in-law Zhao. She was the legitimate daughter of the Honglu Temple. Although she was not very beautiful, she was still delicate and good-looking. She smiled before speaking and seemed to have a good temper. "I finally see Second Sister-in-law today."
"Greetings, Princess Consort." Zhao bowed.
"We are family. There is no need to be so polite. — Qing Zhu. "
Qing Zhu, who was serving at the side, quickly presented the box in her hand. Jingwan took it in her hand. "When Second Sister-in-law married into the family, I was still in Jiangnan. This is a small gift from me. Second Sister-in-law, I hope you don't mind." Jingwan did not know about other happy events, but she knew about this marriage. Although they had sent gifts back before the marriage, this meeting gift still had to be made up. Logically, Jingwan should be the one receiving the gift. However, her status was high, so she became the one giving the gift.
Zhao quickly took it. "Thank you, Princess Consort. I am so happy, how can I dislike it? "
"Second Sister-in-law looks like a good person. If Second Brother bullies you in the future, just tell me. I will help you deal with him."
Zhao Shi blushed and muttered, "My husband treats me very well."
As a bride who had just married into the family, she was naturally the target of everyone's "teasing".
For a moment, it was very lively and cheerful. However, Jingwan inadvertently noticed that Little Wang's smile was a little forced. Obviously, she had something on her mind.
After a while, Madame Luo dismissed everyone and asked them to do what they needed to do.
"I know you have a private room with Yijia and Qiaoqiao. Go, go." Madame Luo waved at Jingwan impatiently.
Jingwan held Madame Luo's arm. "Grandmother, are you disliking your granddaughter?"
"Mischievous." Madame Luo tapped her forehead. "Go."
Jingwan nodded with a smile. "By the way, grandmother, I think something is wrong with Eldest Sister-in-law. What's the matter?"
Madame Luo's expression became indifferent. "What can it be? The woman in your eldest brother's room is pregnant. No woman can be happy." Back then, when Little Wang's pregnancy was unstable, she still said a few words. But now, she was too lazy to care. If she didn't care about her son's room, who would have the patience to care about her grandson?
Jingwan frowned slightly and could only sigh. To be honest, even if he was her biological brother, she was already overstepping her boundaries by not allowing him to touch any woman other than Third Sister-in-law. There was no reason for her to care about her cousin. "Grandmother, you can reveal that I don't like concubines."
Madame Luo glanced at Jingwan and sighed. "You are still the same."
Jingwan didn't care. "I can't help it. If I don't like it, I don't like it. No matter how many lifetimes it is, this won't change. Eldest Sister-in-law is a good woman. If I can help a little, I will. I can't do anything more. However, if Wangye … my likes and dislikes, it will probably affect some people's career. "
Madame Luo didn't doubt these words. If Jin Qinwang's feelings towards his granddaughter didn't change, then whether it was for Jingwan or Jin Qinwang himself, the more concubines there were in the inner court, especially those who favored the concubines and neglected the wife, they would definitely not be able to gain any advantage in front of him. Not to mention other things. — — Zhen only guards one wife. What is the meaning of you courtiers hugging left and right? If his wife was unhappy, then he would cut them even more, cut them to death.
