《Leisurely Transmigration Life》


 Chapter 1

    On a summer afternoon, the sun scorches the earth. In Yuehua courtyard in the backyard of Zhongyi Marquis''s residence in the capital, the wife of Zhongyi Marquis, Han family, is taking a nap. In the courtyard, it''s quiet. A woman on duty is leaning against the porch pillar at the gate, drowsy and sleepy. She doesn''t even notice anyone coming.


    Mammy Qi came from the alley behind the mansion in a hurry. It was the hottest time. Her sweat had soaked the back of her clothes, and there were a lot of sweat on her head and face. When she came to the door, she found that Mrs. Yu, the doorkeeper, was dozing there. She was very angry. She awoke her mother-in-law at once, "you old bastard, you are dozing here. How many lives will you have to account for if you let those little hooves slip into the yard and disturb your wife? "


    Yu''s mother-in-law was suddenly awakened from her sleep. Although her mind has not yet fully awakened, her body has made a quick response. She quickly stood up and gave herself a mouth. "What mammy Qi said is that I don''t dare any more."


    Mammy Qi didn''t have time to watch her pretend like this. She just left a sentence: "keep a good watch on the yard. Let me see it again. Don''t do this job." He left in a hurry.


    Hearing this, Mrs. Yu was really sober from beginning to end. This work of guarding the door is a fat job. I don''t know how many people look at it. If mammy Qi really changes her, she doesn''t cry. At the moment, I got up and worked hard. I didn''t dare to doze off any more.


    Under the porch of the main room, the big maid Qingliu is sitting at the door. Seeing that mother Qi is coming, she quickly stands up and asks in a low voice, "how did mother come here in such a big sun? She is sweating all over, so she should go to the room to cool down. My wife has just fallen asleep, but what''s the matter? " Speak between light hand light foot of beat up the bamboo curtain of the door, let Qi mammy into.


    In the main room of the main room, there is a large porcelain basin with hill like ice. Mammy Qi took a fan by herself, stood on the edge of the ice basin, and gently fanned it with the fan. The gusts of cool wind came slowly, and she immediately felt much cooler. Qingliu brought a cup of warm sour plum soup from a covered tea cup and said with a smile, "mama just came back from the outside. She didn''t dare to drink it for mama. I''m afraid it hurt her stomach."


    Mother Qi took the teacup with a smile and said, "you are still careful." Finish saying a few mouthfuls then drink up. When she handed the teacup back to Qingliu, she asked, "Why are you on duty here alone?"


    The light willow whispers back a way "madam wants to take a nap, also don''t need too many people to serve, then let light rain a few also go to rest."


    Mammy Qi nodded, "madam is kind-hearted." Light willow nods a head "is exactly, on the stall madam such master also is our blessing."


    They whispered a few words again, and then heard Mrs. Shen''s voice in the inner room: "Qingliu, who''s here?"


    Don''t wait for light willow to reply a word, the Qi mother hurriedly answer a voice way "return a madam, is a slave servant to come over.". It''s a slave''s fault that she''s resting. "


    Han sat up and said, "it''s just that you won''t come here if you have nothing to do at noon. Qingliu, please serve me up."


    Hearing that, light willow hurried into the inner room, will pull up the curtain of the babushu bed, holding his wife up, gargle with warm water. Han''s mother looked at Qi''s desire to talk and stop. He sat down in front of the dresser and said, "maybe it''s a little fierce. Mother, please give me all your hair. Qingliu, go to the teahouse and make a cup of narcissus for me. Remember, the tea must be made with boiling water. "


    "Yes, ma''am." After the salute, light willow turned and went out.


    Han then asked, "tell me, what is so mysterious and mysterious, and you have to hide it from Qingliu?"


    Mother Qi said in a low voice, "this morning, the Bai family came here, and together with aunt Bai, they talked in the old lady''s room for a long time. The girl Pearl also heard a lot by serving tea and pouring water. The Bai family wants to hire our girls for their children.... "


    Before her voice fell, she heard Han sneer, "well, the old lady always thinks that she was born in the government of the people''s Republic of China. She doesn''t look at her manners. She treats her aunt''s family members as serious relatives all day. It''s a shame to the government of the people''s Republic of China. I don''t know what the family is all about. Even the common women in our house are not like this. They can go up. " Mammy Qi nodded. "What the lady said is that the old lady was born as a concubine. What can she have? The maid sent someone to inquire. Although the elder of Bai family is only sixteen or seventeen years old, like his father, he has done a lot to steal chickens, walk dogs and look for flowers and willows. The Bai family has no permanent property. For many years, they just rely on the autumn wind to make a living. The family has no fixed income, which attracts the attention of the second girl. They just thought that the second girl had grown up with his wife. If she went out of the cabinet, she and the Marquis would have to make up for it in private, except for the three thousand taels in the public. And the second girl is a common girl, so it''s always harder to get married. If the old lady doesn''t come down as an elder, it''s not good for him to refuse. "


    "Well, although the title has been handed down from our ancestors, is there any real power in our hands? The Marquis has been an official for many years in the coastal area. He has been exposed to the wind and the sun all day long. There are often pirates coming. I don''t know how much pain he suffered to keep our family''s wealth. This group of people don''t care about the marquis. They are so busy all day, trying to give him back. What''s the peace of mind? It''s just that the Marquis was not born by her. You don''t see the old lady''s flattery to Bai and her eldest brother, but you don''t think that her son will inherit the title in our house in the future? It''s just that her son is so out of tune that mud can''t support him on the wall. " The more Han thinks about it, the more angry he is.


    Mammy Qi quickly came forward to help Han''s Shun Qi, "don''t worry, madam. Although our Marquis doesn''t have a legitimate son, at least there are three concubines. The eldest young master is born of Bai''s family. He has been raised and abandoned, but the third and fourth young masters are still young and intelligent. It''s just fine breeding."


    Han closed his eyes and said, "if my brother Hao is still there, how can I be so passive?"


    "Don''t be sad, madam. If the spirit of the second young master sees you so sad, I''m afraid you can''t close your eyes. Besides, you still have a big girl." Mother Qi saw that she had aroused her master''s sadness and quickly comforted her.


    When she heard that mammy Qi was talking about her own daughter, Han just showed two smiles. "Yes, even for the sake of Tian''s sister, I can''t shrink back easily. Although she was not born to me, she grew up with me when she was a child. Tian has no direct sisters. She hopes that her sisters can keep watch and help each other when they get married. How can she take advantage of the black sheep of the Bai family? I''ll write to the master now, so that he can''t promise the old lady. "


    At this time, she patted her head and said, "look at my head, madam, there is another thing about Qingliu."


    Han raised his head and said, "what''s wrong with Qingliu?"


    Mammy Qi said, "the old lady said that the young master is 14 years old, just at the age of adoration. For fear that he would mess around outside, she is going to send the red silk to the young master to be a housemaid. I don''t think you care about the concubines, madam? Aunt Bai said to the old lady that the young master had a crush on the willow and asked the old lady to help him. If I don''t mention it today, I''m afraid the old lady will speak tomorrow morning. "


    Standing outside the door, when she heard this, she almost threw the tray in her hand. It took her nine oxen and two tigers to control her trembling body. Inexplicably, she went from modern times to this strange Dynasty, and was forced to be a slave without freedom and human rights. She saw that the better the days at home, the better her redemption. Now, do you really want to do that laoshizi Tongfang?

 Chapter 2

    Rao is full of ups and downs in his heart, but after many years of working as a messenger and experience in his previous life, Qingliu''s mental quality is still passable. She took a few deep breaths and stood quietly adjusting her mind.


    In the room, Han said with a sneer, "hum, the mouse''s son can make holes. Just look at his mother and uncle, you can see what kind of goods it is. Can two servant girls tie it? It''s not bad for the maid''s reputation. If you want the girl beside me, it depends on whether I am willing or not. Not to mention that Qingliu is the big servant girl of Deacon beside me, even the third-class qiugui and Dongmei don''t want to get involved. If the old lady doesn''t mention it, I''ll refuse it. "


    Mammy Qi nodded. "Well, aunt Bai is so smart that she thinks her wife can''t see through her careful thinking. I''m afraid aunt Bai and the eldest young master are not interested in the light willow, but in the lady''s private room. "


    If aunt Bai is here, I''m afraid she must lead mammy Qi to be a confidant. What mammy Qi said was exactly what she thought. She said to her son at that time, "the lady''s account books used to be managed by Feixu, but the girl promised to manager Zhou''s little son. We can''t move her. She''s not at home these few months. It''s said that Mrs. Liu is in charge of the account. The girl is from outside, there is no foundation in the house, as long as you can get her to your side. Don''t we know what''s there, madam? " Her son, Shen Cang, the eldest young master of Shen''s family, nodded as he listened, "it''s still your mother, you have a way."


    After listening to mammy Qi''s words, Mrs. Shen was not annoyed. She raised her hand and looked at Dankou, who was dyed red. She said in a cold voice, "people should have self-knowledge. They have too many things to plan. They don''t want to think about whether they have that rich life or not."


    Light willow heard Han''s voice is to defend their own meaning, then quietly relieved. She stepped to the door, one hand lifted the bamboo curtain, the other hand firmly held a mahogany tray with a teacup.


    She put the cup on the table in the inner room with a smile. "I made this tea for the first time. I don''t know if it''s suitable for my wife. Would you like to taste it? If it''s not good, I''ll soak it again. "


    When the two in the inner room heard her coming in, they had already turned to other topics. Han took a sip of the cup and nodded, "it''s very good to make it like this for the first time. This sweet white glazed tea set is also very good. I can''t get used to those laoshizi crystal cups and agate cups. I don''t know where to pick them. I always feel strange when I use them. "


    This is very suitable for Qingliu''s appetite. Some of those agate and jade are naturally radiated, and some of them have nothing to do at room temperature. It''s hard to say when they are hot.


    Just now, Mammy Qi just used a grate to pass through Han''s scalp without dressing. As soon as Qingliu picked up her comb and wanted to ask Mrs. Shen what kind of bun she wanted to wear, she heard a loud noise outside.


    Without waiting for Han to speak, Qingliu quickly put down her comb and went out to check. I saw a little girl was chatting with Mrs. Yu, the doorkeeper. Can''t help criticizing "what''s the system of shouting like this?"


    When Mrs. Yu saw that it was Mrs. Hou''s light willow, she quickly said with a smile, "Miss light willow, it''s all the girl''s fault. She said that she had to see Mrs. Hou in person for something important. Is our wife a little girl in the outer yard who said that she would see her soon? I didn''t stop her for a moment, so I quarreled with her and didn''t wake her up, did I


    The light willow lightly hums a "Kui''s madam early awakes, otherwise you two all have to suffer board." He turned and asked the little girl, "which yard are you from? Why don''t you know the rules? You can go into the yard of the eldest lady, too? What''s the matter? Go ahead. "


    Yu''s mother-in-law also said, "this is the first-class maid beside the lady. Even if you don''t tell me something, you shouldn''t keep it from Miss Qingliu."


    The little girl saw that although the dress of Qingliu was not very bright, the strand gold bracelet inlaid with ruby the size of soybeans on her bare hand was of great value. She knew that it was the favorite of the master. Therefore, he said, "it''s the steward of the outer courtyard who sent me. She said that the watch girl and master of the aunt''s family have arrived at the dock. Let me tell the first lady."


    Light willow turns to joy way "what? It''s the watch girl and the watch master. You girl didn''t say it earlier, but you''re grinding here. " Then he asked a few questions, who was in charge to pick up, sent a few carriages and so on. After asking, he said, "well, for the sake of watch girl and master, I won''t care about you this time. Next time, I''ll do this again. Be careful, I''ll hit you on the board. No, take this ring and go Then he took a ring of pure silver inlaid with Turquoise from the ring finger of his left hand and gave it to the little girl. I''ve heard that Yuehua hospital''s elder sister is very generous. Today, the little girl finally learned that this ring could cover her monthly income for several months. She ran away with the ring happily. Yu''s mother-in-law looked at the girl''s back enviously. She was really lucky. If she was willing to tell her the news just now, she would be rewarded now. I didn''t think that light willow turned to her and said, "the little girl in the outer yard doesn''t understand the rules. My mother is an old man. How can she not understand the rules like this. It''s not right for her to yell like this. Mother should stop her first. Besides, why did she quarrel with her? I know you''re thinking that you''ve got good news to go in and get a reward, but if you disturb your wife''s rest, can you afford it? " Then he turned and went in.


    Mrs. Yu doesn''t dare to make mistakes. She has been scolded twice for her Kung Fu. If someone knows, she must find her faults.


    When Han heard that his nephew and niece had arrived, he immediately said, "go and tell the big girl that they are ready to meet the distant guests. The afternoon class is temporarily suspended." After pondering for a while, he said, "send someone to Ninghui courtyard to say it again, so that the old lady can be prepared." Light willow promised, one by one assigned little girls to send a message. Just now there was such a noise at the gate of the courtyard, and the rest of the people who took a nap also got up. Everyone did their own duties, but they were not very busy.


    Qingliu said to Jixiang, a little girl who is going to talk to the big girl''s yard, "I tell you how many elder sister Mohua has been there for less than nine months. Let''s pay attention to their dress when the girls dress up." Jixiang took the order.


    Han see light willow standing there, although whisper, but the command is moderate, calm, heart secretly nodded. Originally, Feixu was in charge of everything in the yard at this time, but she didn''t show that Qingliu was very capable. These days, Feixu went to Jinzhou to pick up his niece. The affairs in the yard were all handled by Qingliu. He could see something very well. This light willow is worth training, but it can''t be cheaper than the common son.


    Thinking of his coming niece and nephew, Han sighed. These two children are also suffering. When I was young, I lost my parents. But if my uncle had any relatives, I had to come to her aunt. The Marquis has only one sister. He has to protect them and let them get married safely.


    Thinking of this, she raised her voice and asked, "Qingliu, what''s the present for their sister and brother? Let me have a look. "


    In a moment, light willow will hold over two brocade boxes "madam, do you think this is feasible?"


    Han looked at it, frowned and said, "is it a little thinner?"


    "I know you love each other''s girl and master Fang, but I''m afraid the old lady won''t give me too valuable things..." she said

 Chapter 3

    Light willow didn''t say any more, but the meaning was very obvious. No matter how to say the old lady was not in Yuehua courtyard, she had to save some face when she arrived at Ninghui courtyard. If there is a little carelessness, it will be wantonly exaggerated by those who have a heart. It is really not worth the loss.


    Han immediately understood the concerns of light willow, nodded and said, "you are very considerate, that''s it. I''ll make up for them more in private. They''re the same as brothers and sisters. By the way, can their yard be cleaned up? "


    Liu said with a smile, "I packed it half a month ago. I went to see it in the morning. All kinds of furnishings and bedding were packed up. I''ll let their little girl in the yard prepare hot water later. "


    By this time, Han had already put on her clothes and finished her dressing up. Because she wanted to see her guests, Wei Yu helped her to comb a solemn peony bun, wear a set of gold silk jewelry inlaid with Jasper, wear a soft silk double breasted jacket embroidered with oblique branches of peony in Hunan color, a Chinese dress of the same color, and a scallion green pleated skirt. Solemn but not too ostentatious, she nodded in front of the mirror in the inner room. "It''s too late to see why the girls haven''t come yet."


    As soon as the voice fell, I heard a sound of walking in the yard, and then a servant girl came back at the door and said, "madam, here are the girls."


    Han quickly said, "it''s hot outside. Let the girls come in quickly and bring some good fruits."


    Then five or six big maids came in with three sisters. Shen Tian, the eldest daughter of the Shen family in the Zhongyi Marquis''s house, is a goose faced, tall, slim browed and apricot eyed woman with a dignified and gentle manner.


    The second one is a little younger, of moderate build, of middle and upper appearance, gentle and amiable. She is Shen Ying, the second girl in Shen''s mansion.


    The third is only eight or nine years old. She is still childish, but she is also lovely. She is Shen Xiang, the second daughter of Shen Fu''s second room. The Marquis knew that his three sons had different mothers and had different plans. He was afraid that after he left, the brothers would return to their ancestors'' foundation because of the family property. Therefore, when the old Marquis died, he was already in charge of the separation of the family. The second and third houses had already separated their houses and moved out.


    Shen Xiang is the daughter of Er Fang, and she has a concubine, so she ranks second. Three years ago, the second master took a foreign job. Originally, he took his wife and children with him. Who would like to go halfway, Shen Xiang because of acclimatization, vomiting and diarrhea can not go. The second lady had to take her daughter back to Beijing to recuperate. Shen Xiang, who wanted to vomit badly on the road, was alive when she returned to the capital. The second lady took her to the most famous Huangjue temple in the capital to pray for Buddha. The master of Huangjue temple said that Shen Xiang''s life style was like this. He was born to rush to the south. He had nothing to do with going to the north. If he went far to the south, he would be seriously ill. If he went to the south, he would never return.


    However, it is not easy for the second master to change his position as governor of the land of fish and rice. The land of fish and rice is rich in oil and water, and the women there are very charming. The second lady dare not leave her husband alone for a long time. Besides, she would also take care of the family affairs, help her husband with his wife''s diplomacy, and take care of her two sons and common children. In desperation, the second lady had to entrust her daughter to her elder sister-in-law, and she took her maid to follow her husband. Because she was a second wife, her family called her "Tang Er girl". Over time, she was called Tang Er girl for short.


    Fortunately, the girl was open-minded and sensible, and she did not resent her parents. On the contrary, they can eat, sleep and talk fast, which is very popular with big guys.


    After the sisters saluted, the Tang girl first cried out, "big aunt, I heard that just now. What''s your surging fruit? At this time, besides watermelon is peach, what other fresh fruit do you have? "


    Han gently on her forehead, "you girl, you only know how to eat, but this time you''re lucky. My mother''s second brother sent some Xianmi fruit from Fujian. It''s still fresh. You''ll have a taste of it later. "


    Shen Xiang clapped his hands with a smile and said, "xianmiguo, I remember eating it once in spring, but it''s delicious. It''s different from our fruit here. I thought I would have to wait until next year, but I didn''t think there would be any more at this time? " Shen Tian said, "some of our peaches will bear fruit in May, but some will not ripen until July or August. This is because of different varieties. I think it''s the same with Xianmi fruit. It''s both early maturing and late maturing. "


    "Big sister, you are so smart. You know everything." Shen Xiang looks at the lobby sister with adoring eyes.


    Shen Tian scratched his cousin''s little nose. "You, if you take out more books, you won''t be so ignorant."


    "The sage said," food is the most important thing for the people. "I''m following the teachings of the sage


    The childish words made the whole room laugh.


    At this time, the little servant girl brought up the Xianmi fruit. Everyone used a few pieces and drank a cup of tea.


    Seeing that it was almost time, Han got up and said, "let''s go. Let''s all go to Ninghui hospital to greet the old lady. I think sister Su and brother Jane will be here soon." Not a word about Shen Lian, the three girls who didn''t come here to say hello.


    So they all went to Ning Hui Yuan.


    When they arrived, aunt Bai had already led Shen Cang and Shen lian to wait on them. Seeing them coming, my mother had to salute. At the end of the ceremony, Shen Lian, the third girl, bowed herself and said, "tell my mother that I just helped the old lady dress up and missed the time. I didn''t go to ask for her mother''s kindness and punishment."


    Han didn''t even look at her. "It''s good for you to be filial to the old lady. How can I blame you? Get up quickly."


    The old lady sitting at the top of the table said with a smile, "boss, how about the clothes and jewelry that sister Lian helped me choose?"


    Han glanced at the old lady''s jujube red tie lotus pattern skirt, red Liuxian skirt, and the dazzling red gold face with red treasure on her head. She was speechless. Though you are in the Tucao, your stepdaughter died, as your elders do not need to make complaints about you, but the children you see for the first time are so bright, do you? She said quietly, "sister Lian''s eyes are very good. The old lady is much younger in this red dress. It''s just that the old lady is an elder. It doesn''t matter what she wears. But the clothes on sister Lian and brother Cang are out of date. Your aunt has been there for less than seven months


    After hearing this, the old lady was a little unhappy. As soon as she was about to retort, she heard the servant report that "watch girl and master have arrived outside the gate and are changing the sedan chair."

 Chapter 4

    Although the old lady didn''t like this pair of cheap nephews, she always made an appearance and assigned her powerful servant girl, lvluo, to meet the distant guests. Han assigned light willow, Shen Tian on one side interface way "mother, cousin from afar, or I personally to welcome a welcome it."


    Han nodded with a smile. "Well, you''ve seen it when you were a child. You''re better than others. Then go quickly."


    Shen Xiang, who likes to join in the fun, also clamors to go. Shen Ying has always been only Shen Tian''s leader. She has been standing beside Shen Tian for a long time. Only Shen Lian was sitting there, and Shen Cang was sitting there. Mrs. Shen said nothing.


    But the old lady Zhou said, "their sister and brother have come from a long way. Let''s welcome them, too." Although Shen Lian was a little surprised, she couldn''t refute the old lady''s words and agreed to go.


    When all the girls went out, Zhou said to Han, "the boss''s family, I didn''t say you. There''s something you didn''t pay attention to."


    Hum, it''s going to be a moth. Han thought.


    Seeing that the eldest lady didn''t mean to connect, Zhou couldn''t help but annoy Han, and he didn''t pay more and more attention to her. So Zhou said hard, "Cang Ge''er is too old to be a servant. He is the young master of our loyal Marquis''s mansion. If this is spread out, I don''t know how to be laughed at. I''ve already put the red silk around me in the past to wait on me, and you, as a legitimate mother, should show me something. I think the willow around you is good. Give her to Cang Ge''er. "


    Hearing this, aunt Bai and Shen Cang were very happy. The old lady said something. Did Han dare to disobey? Disrespectful mother-in-law, but very unfilial!


    Instead of looking at Zhou, Han Feng''s eyes turned to Shen Cang. "Brother Cang is only fourteen this year, and he is not old enough to think about the girl beside his grandmother and mother. Is it really funny to hear that? At the age of marquis, he had gone to fight with him in the battlefield. What does brother Cang know? Is reading successful? Or excellent martial arts? I haven''t finished reading the four books and five classics, even your two younger brothers are inferior. Fortunately, I miss my servant girl. I''m really shameless. "


    This words a, white aunt mother son facial expression big change, they really didn''t expect the madam today unexpectedly so strong, for a moment unexpectedly didn''t expect to refute.


    "You, how can you say such vicious words to Cang Ge''er? You are his direct mother. If his reputation is not good, what glory will you have on your direct mother''s face? " Although Zhou''s mouth denounced the fierce, but the heart is eager to stepson daughter-in-law and white aunt mother and son tear the more severe the better.


    Aunt Bai also responded at this time, and then she hid her face and cried, "it''s just that madam looks down on me. Brother Cang wants to call you mother. How can you discredit him like this? The old lady is right. Brother Cang is not good. Does your face look good, madam? "


    Han''s cold smile "my face? Hum, thanks to the old lady and your deeds, the whole capital knows that Shen Cang was raised by your Bai family. It has nothing to do with me! What''s more, you''re a "elder brother", which is what you can shout? Don''t forget, who are you? Shen Cang is the master. You are just a concubine. With a biological mother like you, his reputation will be ruined by me? What good reputation can you have when you hang out with the white family all day long? "


    Aunt Bai raised her head and retorted, "madam, what is that? I''m your concubine, and I''m qualified to raise my own children. "


    "Hum, are you aware that I still have a contract for selling myself to Bai''s peony. If you hadn''t used some dirty means and had the old lady''s face, would you have entered the gate of Zhongyi Marquis''s house? And I don''t want to see what your family is all about? "


    I didn''t expect that Han should be so merciless today. Aunt Bai quickly cried to Zhou, "old lady, I''m a concubine. I can only live with my wife''s words. But Bai''s family is also your family. Isn''t your wife insulting Bai''s family by insulting you? " When Zhou heard Han''s saying that Bai''s family was not, she was also very angry and shivered. She pointed to Han and said, "well, Shen, how can you insult your mother-in-law''s family like this? Do you still have filial piety in your eyes? So unfilial and heartless, I must be able to tell the Marquis that I will leave you. "


    Han said calmly, "I think you are confused. Your surname is Zhou, not Bai. Your mother''s family is the grand government of Angou. Don''t be provoked by some people. "


    Zhou''s a spirit, seems to wake up, but still unwilling to bow.


    The atmosphere in Ninghui hall is very tense. On the other side, Qingliu and some servant girls are surrounded by each other. As soon as some girls stand in front of the Chuihua gate, they see some women carrying a soft sedan chair, followed by seven or eight servant girls. One of them is the catkins that haven''t been seen for many days.


    Feixu sees that all the girls are in a hurry to walk a few steps to several girls and stand in front of them to greet them. Shen Tian smiles and says, "this hard trip, Feixu sister. After today, I have something good for you."


    Feixu and several girls are used to laughing. When they hear this, they don''t refuse. They give a big salute. "In this way, I''m waiting for the reward from the big girl."


    At this time, the sedan chair had stopped at the second door, and a servant girl opened the curtain of the sedan chair.


    As she got out of the sedan chair, Qingliu thought of the two words in Luoshen Fu: "flying like a bird, just like a dragon". It''s really beautiful and charming.


    From my heart, the girls in Hou''s mansion are all beauties. Shen Tian, in particular, can be called the beauty of the country, but Shen Tian''s beauty is dignified and grand, while Fang Xinsu is another kind of graceful and gentle beauty.


    In light willow some Lengshen kungfu, Shen Tian already took two younger sisters to the sedan chair, stretched out his hand to hold the bearer''s hand, said with a smile, "sister Xin Su, I haven''t seen you for many years, do you still remember me?"


    Fang Xinsu smile, a few white teeth in the sunset under the reflection of the shining, "you are Tian sister, I naturally remember."


    Shen Xiang stretched out her head and asked, "sister Fang, do you know me?"


    Fang Xinsu only heard her mother mention that there was a common girl in her uncle''s family who was about the same age as her. Who was it that she was not inferior to her cousin?


    Shen Tian tugs at Shen Xiang''s bag and says to Xin Su, "this is Shen Xiang, the sister of the second uncle''s family. She has been with me for the past two years." He pointed to Shen Ying behind him and said, "this is sister Ying. I saw it when I was a child."


    After the sisters met, Shen Tian and Fang Xinsu went to Ninghui hospital to greet the old lady.


    Along the way, Shen Tian couldn''t help introducing the scenery she met on the way to her cousin. Fortunately, Fang Xinsu came many times when she was a child. When Shen Tian mentioned it a little, she almost remembered it. After staying in the south for a long time, Fang Xinsu suddenly saw such a spacious house. He secretly felt that his mood was also broadened.


    When the party was about to walk to the gate of Ninghui courtyard, a little girl ran over and said a few words to Shen Tian. Shen Tian frowned and sighed in her heart that the old lady didn''t worry at all. She had some moths.

 Chapter 5

    Although Shen Tianxin was in the dark, she turned her head and said with a silent smile, "my cousin hasn''t been here for many years. Many places in this house have changed. Look at the lotus pool over there. It was just dug a few years ago. It''s not too late for us to go over and have a look, and then greet the old lady. " Then made a few winks to several servant girls nearby.


    Although Fang Xinsu had some doubts in her heart, why didn''t her cousin take her to the garden first? However, the guests were as the Lord wanted, and she had to follow suit. Thinking of the servant girl just now, and thinking about the identity of the old lady in Ninghui courtyard, Fang Xinsu knows it. It seems that the loyalty and justice Marquis''s house is not peaceful even if it is separated.


    So several girls went to the lotus pool, and the light willow quietly fell behind, turned and entered the Ninghui courtyard. Mo Xiang, Shen Tian''s servant girl, went to the outer courtyard and stopped several young masters.


    When Qingliu came to the main hall of Ninghui courtyard, she saw a group of girls and women surrounded by the door. She didn''t dare to go out. Seeing her coming, a little girl beside Mrs. Shen came forward and said something to her.


    At this time, Zhou''s accusation came from the room.


    Light willow caresses dress, oneself lifted door curtain to enter inside. The old lady''s maid wanted to stop her, but it was too late.


    After entering the house, light willow line a gift "to the old lady, madam please.". Back to his wife''s words, an urgent letter came from Chuang Tzu in Changzhou, saying that it was the third master, he, he... "


    Seeing the light willow coming in, the old lady was very happy. Today she had to cut off Shen''s arm. Hearing her talking about the third master, the old lady stood up and said, "what''s wrong with the third master? Say it quickly


    "The manager of Chuang Tzu said that the third master was ill again. It seems that he is not very well. The doctor asked him to prepare for his future affairs." Han glanced at her. Why didn''t she know the news? If this girl makes it up, it''s too similar. No matter how I think about it, the play will go on.


    "What did you say? Is that true? " Hearing this, Zhou could not sit still. "There is no good doctor in the countryside. This man must be a quack. Hurry up, take the post to the Taiyi hospital and ask the Taiyi to go. "


    But she said for a long time, but no one moved. Zhou could not help but get angry. "Did no one hear what I said? Go and get a doctor. "


    Or her maid pearl pulled her sleeve and said, "old lady, you are not Gaoming, please don''t move the doctor. Only the posts of Hou ye and his wife in our house can invite Taiyi. " She was the stepwife of the old Marquis. Although she was written into the genealogy, the old Marquis also asked to give her several letters, but they were refuted.


    After Shen Mingchang succeeded the Marquis, it was impossible to give his stepmother an order. All the ladies in the Marquis''s house have their own orders. Few of them are like her. Because of her seniority, people only respect her on the surface, but they don''t think so. As a result, the Zhou family could only hop around the Zhongyi Marquis''s house, and when she got out of the gate, few people took care of her.


    Shen Mingchang is not in the capital. The only one who can ask the imperial doctor in this mansion is Hou''s wife Han.


    No matter how reluctantly Zhou was concerned with her only son, she had to bow her head. "The eldest family''s filial piety has been enhanced, but Bai''s is even worse. Why don''t you go back to your house? An aunt, all day out ramble, go back to ban full half a month


    Bai didn''t expect that the old lady would turn around and sell her. Before she could resist, she was dragged down by some stout women.


    Light willow took advantage of the chaos to stand to Han''s side, Han''s low voice asked "three master is how to return a responsibility?" Qingliu replied in a low voice, "the manager of Chuang Tzu over there came here to cry. He said that the third master is not good. If he wants to pay money, he will invite a good doctor in the capital to see him."


    Han''s sneer, are separated for many years, but also to Hou Fu money, really shameless. But what can be solved with money is not a big deal. On the one hand, Han sent someone to take the post and quickly go to the Tai hospital to ask the Tai doctor. On the other side, a servant girl was assigned to collect some excellent herbs and tonics, and a good one was sent to the third master. Seeing Han''s actions, Zhou also thought of it, and hastened to pick up a large bag of things. He was not too sure about others. He went to see the maid himself and picked up a lot of excellent medicinal materials, as well as a lot of supplements such as bird''s nest and Ganoderma lucidum.


    Shen Cang can''t help but intercede with his biological mother and secretly wink at Qingliu. As a result, Qingliu doesn''t even look at him. Han glanced at him, and then asked Qingliu, "this morning, the young master''s bill from several restaurants outside has been settled?"


    Light willow back way "back to the lady''s words, because the young master this month''s bill overrun, so did not settle."


    Han gently turned the bracelet on his wrist, "overspending? Brother Cang, there are rules in the house. You are the eldest son of our house. It''s not good to take the lead in breaking the rules. "


    When Shen Cang heard this, he was flustered. Is this to break his money? He knelt down in front of Han''s body and said, "my aunt is rude. It''s better to have a rest in the yard for a few days. I also ask my wife to be kind and help my son. "


    Han was satisfied with the smile, "this is just like, you are a man, is the master, can''t all day with a slave. Look at you child, what are you doing on your knees? The ground is cold. Get up quickly. Naturally, the rules of the government can''t be changed easily. Otherwise, your brothers will be in a mess. "


    Seeing that Shen Cang was scratching his ears and gills anxiously, Han''s words changed. "However, it''s also feasible for me to make up for you. Qingliu, take money from my private room and settle the young master''s account. Take out another hundred taels of silver and give it to the young master for his pocket money. " He said that he was kind, but in his heart he looked down on Shen Cang. He didn''t even care about his mother. Aunt Bai took him as her life.


    When Shen Cang heard that his mother not only paid off all his debts, but also gave him an extra hundred taels of silver. He was so excited that he couldn''t help saying flattery to Han. Aunt Bai had no dowry. Their mother and son just lived on the monthly routine of the public, and then the old lady sprinkled some from her fingers. However, the old lady had never been so generous. He was only ten taels of silver a month, and his mother gave him one hundred taels at once. He was really rich. With this money, you can go to the fragrance building for a few days.


    Seeing his frivolous appearance, Han''s heart could not help but feel disgust. Light willow in the side saw this a di Shu fight of good play, in the heart can''t help sighing, do a Hou madam can really tired, she don''t think Han''s trick is wrong. If you don''t have some ingenuity, it''s not sure whether you can survive in this big house. Even such a smart person as Madam Hou, didn''t he catch up with a legitimate son?


    At this time, the little maid outside the curtain told the girl that they had entered the yard.


    Han quickly to light willow make a wink, light willow to the inner room will be rummaging Zhou help out. It happened that the things were almost finished. Zhou took a look in the mirror and felt that his make-up was very rich, so he came out and sat down.


    Shen Tian several surrounded by Fang Xinsu come over, a few little girls at the door guard, see them come, quickly up to play the curtain, "watch girl came over, the old lady talked for a long time."

 Chapter 6

    Although they are all called old ladies, the Zhou family is only in her forties this year. Due to proper maintenance and bright clothes, she looks like she is in her thirties. It really does not match her seniority. When they came in, they asked, "is it your granddaughter?"


    In the hall, a servant girl had already set up the cushion, and Fang Xinsu knelt down all of a sudden. "Granddaughter Fang Xinsu, please say hello to grandma."


    No matter how you think about it in your heart, face still needs to be done. What''s more, Zhou had just eaten Han''s Paitou, and she didn''t dare to do much at this time. She took out her handkerchief and wiped the corner of her eyes where tears didn''t exist. She quickly told the maid to say, "come on, pearl, help the watch girl up."


    Fang Xinsu stood up and saluted to Han again. He said, "hello to my great aunt."


    Han did not wait for her to bow down, he reached out to help her, "good boy, we are close relatives. We don''t have to be so polite." Then he pointed to Shen Cang and said, "you''ve seen them all. This is your uncle''s big cousin. She is the same brother and sister as sister Lian. Because she wants to serve the old lady, she hasn''t gone out to meet you."


    This sounds like an explanation to Shen Cang. He is as smart as Fang Xinsu, but he can''t hear the meaning of his aunt''s words. The other two cousins were waiting outside the gate early in the morning, and several cousins were also welcome to the second gate. Why is it that only this cousin is here to serve the old lady? Shouldn''t such a big man live in a courtyard? Moreover, in addition to the old lady, the mother''s stepmother, there are only two brothers and sisters in this room, who are dressed in red and green. But I don''t think they have much to rely on, do they?


    Although the heart is a thousand think hundred turn, Fang Xin plain face but did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, as usual to see Shen cangxing worship. Shen Cang has seen many beauties since he was a child, but he is still amazed to see Fang Xinsu. It''s just that salivation, it''s a little disgusting. The witty mammy came forward and separated them.


    The eldest lady couldn''t see the concubine''s appearance, so she called Fang Xinsu to the front of her. After saying Huizi''s words, he raised his voice and asked the servant girl, "go and see where the third and fourth young masters have taken the master watch. Why haven''t they come yet?"


    Voice did not fall, they heard the little maid outside the door to reply, "come, have entered the yard."


    Immediately after that, there was a sound of footwork. Two teenagers about ten years old led master Fang Xinjian over.


    Fang Xin Jian was dressed in a bamboo blue soft silk, a round jade pendant with Tian Biyu was tied around her waist, and the headdress was inlaid with jade ornaments of the same color and style. Although he was only twelve or thirteen years old, he was a bit of a gentleman.


    After Fang Xinjian saluted Zhou and Han, the sisters and brothers met each other.


    When they finished the ceremony, the old lady Zhou asked people to hold out the gift. When Han saw that the gift was not very valuable, it was even worse than that of light Liu Bei. At the moment, he laughed in his heart, but he was not ready to reduce his gift. He told the maids to give the two brocade boxes to his sister and brother.


    Seeing this, Zhou knew that the gift given by Han was more valuable than what he had prepared. As long as it''s not revealed, it''s all right. Hengli is not his own grandson. Naturally, his good things should be left to his own grandson and granddaughter. How can it be so cheap for outsiders?


    Shen Lian saw that the two boxes were painted with gold and inlaid with shells. She knew that there were good things in them. She was a little envious. Her mother was so generous to an outsider, but she never looked good to her. Not to mention other people, she is also a common girl. Shen Ying''s dress is better than her. Is she still fawning on her mother?


    Others think that she is deliberately against her mother, but they don''t know that Shen Lian doesn''t think so. However, since she was sensible, her biological mother was extremely hostile to her own mother. Her biological mother always said something bad about her own mother. How did she know to please her own mother when she was young? As she grew older, it was too late to know the world. She had unconsciously offended her own mother. It''s no use complaining about the mother who raised her crooked, so we have to go to the dark. She is not stupid, how can not see that the old lady does not really love her and her brother. But she was just a common girl. Even if her mother gave birth to her eldest son, she was not liked by her father. She had no powerful family and rich dowry, so she had to hold the old lady''s thigh firmly. Although the old lady is no longer a housekeeper now, she has a rich private room. A little bit of exposure in her fingers is enough for her to enjoy for a long time. In her mother''s eyes, she had only her son in her heart, and she didn''t love her very much. She used to subsidize her brother''s monthly income, but it was better in the past two years. She has been looking at it coldly for several years, but neither of them is reliable. If she doesn''t find a way out for herself, she doesn''t know what she will be like by these two people!


    At this time, a servant girl came and interrupted Shen Lian''s meditation.


    The maid replied that dinner was ready, so Zhou said, "they have been busy for a long time. They must be hungry. Let''s go to have dinner first. As soon as the tourists arrive, their elder brother is still young. Let''s stay together. "


    Anyway, I''ve been in Hou''s residence for so many years. When I''m not in a hurry, Zhou is still good at saying a few words.


    Then they went to the small flower hall to have a meal. In the middle of the room, there was a big round table full of dishes. Although Zhou said that everyone should have dinner together, but "men and women are seven years old and have different seats", the maids and wives have already cleared another table and are setting the meal. Shen Cang, the oldest of the men, took his younger brothers to the table.


    Zhou naturally sat in the upper seat. Han took Fang Xinsu and sat on Zhou''s left. Fang Xinsu gave way to him, but Han said with a smile, "you''re a guest from afar, you should be."


    Zhou also nodded, "you just came here today. You should sit here." Fang Xinsu took a seat and sat down. Han sat next to her, and Shen Tian took several younger sisters to sit on Zhou''s right side in turn.


    After sitting down, Han said to Xiaoliu, who was standing on the side of the table and was waiting for her, "watch girl has just come here and is not very familiar with our house. You can follow watch girl and serve her well in the future." Fang Xinsu quickly thanks.


    Zhou''s in the mind remembers her son, regarding Han''s send which servant girl to Fang Xinsu not to care too much. Although she is willing to add blocks to Han, she is more concerned about her son''s life and death, and will not question Han''s decision at this moment.


    Although Shen Cang had some pity in his heart, the light willow was not particularly outstanding. He sighed secretly.


    In a moment, the servant girl brought food and everyone began to eat.

 Chapter 7

    Han''s family is strict. Although there are many servants and servants in the house, no one makes a sound. When Fang Xinsu''s parents were all around, the whole family talked and laughed at each other when they were eating. At first, they felt uncomfortable. Since we are dependent on others, we have to make sure that the guests can adapt one by one.


    At the end of the meal, after gargling and washing hands, Zhou said, "their brothers and sisters must be tired from afar. Let them go back to have a rest early."


    Han took all the people to see off the old lady, and told several common sons Haosheng to take Fang Xinjian to the front yard. Then he turned to Xin Su and said, "sister Su, what I''ve arranged for you is the di Cui Zhai at the back of my yard. It''s very close to Tian''s yard, so you sisters can talk cheaply in the future. In the future, just think of it as your own home. If you have anything you want to eat or play, just tell me. Don''t feel constrained. "


    Fang Xinsu said, "please worry about my aunt."


    Han''s smile patted her hand, "a family, don''t be so polite." Turn to ask the servant girl beside again, is the box cage of watch girl tidied up? The servant girl replied, "it''s done."


    "Come on, let''s go and have a look." With that, he took several girls to didui studio.


    Along the way, Han gave her a lot of advice: "over there is my uncle and I''s Yuehua courtyard. Over here is your cousin''s yunshuxuan. To the west of yunshuxuan is your sister Xiang''s Yueming Pavilion. To the East is your didcuizhai. In the back row are LAN Cui Lou, where Ying''s sister lives, and Huai Bi Ge, where Lian''s sister lives. There are several aunts living in the courtyard to the west of the corridor. "


    Generally speaking, there is only one big family living in the Zhongyi Marquis''s mansion, and the courtyard is quite spacious.


    Just now, when the masters were having dinner, Qingliu came to dicuizhai with a few servant girls to help clean up things. Seeing that Han came with a watch girl, she quickly welcomed them up. "Hello, ladies and girls. The room is ready. Please check it. If there is anything wrong, I will change it as soon as possible."


    When they came into the room, Fang Xinsu saw that the room was spacious and the furnishings were exquisite. The shelf bed and dressing table are made of yellow flower pear wood. Other small pieces of furniture are red and sour. All the bedding and furnishings are in plain colors, which is in line with her status of filial piety.


    When I passed the courtyard just now, I saw a bunch of green bamboos at the gate of the courtyard. No wonder the name of the courtyard is "Di Cui". There is also a tall ginkgo tree and two plum trees in the yard. There are several pots of orchids and other flowers she likes in the house. Obviously, the whole yard is decorated with great care.


    So he gratefully saluted Han, "my aunt took care."


    Han pulled her up. "I just told her that everything was done by the servant girls. If you want to thank her, just thank Qingliu. She went to the warehouse to pick these things up. " Fang Xinsu saw that what his aunt said was the maid she had just pointed out to her. He knew that she was needed by her aunt when he looked at her clothes.


    At the moment, Lianren saluted, "if so, thank you, sister Qingliu." Light willow quickly declined, turned to avoid this ceremony. Fang Xinsu let the servant girl beside him send a purse, and Qingliu took it away after thanking him again.


    Then Han opened his mouth and said to Xinsu, "Qingliu is always a steady girl. Let her wait by your side now. I don''t think you have many servant girls. Then I''ll let them make up for some rough servant girls. "


    Then he asked Qingliu, "did you prepare the clothes and jewelry for the watch girl?"


    Qingliu nodded, then pointed to some cloth and some brocade boxes on the earthen Kang, and said, "I have prepared them according to my wife''s instructions. I didn''t know the girl''s size and preference before, so I didn''t rush to do it. Now that the girl is here, the servant girl will drive out some clothes as soon as possible


    Mrs. Han nodded, "you''ve always been a sensible person. Now that you''ve been waiting on your cousin, you have to be as attentive as ever." "Please don''t worry, madam. I will try my best to serve the master."


    Mrs. Han nodded and said, "OK, it''s getting late. Sister Su, you can have a rest earlier. You don''t have to worry about brother Jane." The other girls also got up. Shen Tian said, "cousin, take a rest soon. The old lady likes to be quiet and doesn''t like the younger generation to disturb her too much. Therefore, except the first day of the new year, she only needs to go to visit on the fifth day every month. Tomorrow is the eighth day of junior high school. My cousin just has a rest. "


    Fang Xinsu thanks her cousin for her advice and goes to the gate of the yard to see her aunt and other cousins off.


    The little servant girl has already cooked the hot water for a long time. She has fangxinsu''s confidant servant girl waiting for her to wash and bathe.


    Besides the servant girl, Fang Xinsu also brought a mother Zhang, who is said to be the son of the Fang family and once served Fang Xinsu''s grandmother. At this time, mother Zhang is taking a few small servant girls to sort out the salute objects of Fang Xinsu.


    Although Fang Xinsu was dressed carelessly and luxuriantly, she could see from the light willow''s eyes that the Lanzhi white jade hairpin with the pattern of Begonia on her head was valuable, which should be the same as the bracelet on her hand. Glossy, mild and elegant.


    It is said that the Fang family has been in decline for a long time. The girl and master of the Fang family are here to play the autumn breeze. There is no need to please them. Light willow can''t help laughing in the heart. It''s a group of ignorant people.


    As far as she knows, although the Fang family has few children, there were three high-ranking officials in the family, which is a standard official family. Fang Xinsu''s great grandfather and great grandfather had been rich local officials, and the Fang family''s heirs were thin, so the Fang family''s property was rich. Her father was one of today''s accompanying readers when he was young. After he was released, all his previous positions were rich in oil and water. It''s just that a scholarly family has always attached great importance to ancient books, calligraphy and painting. There are few luxurious and rich ornaments, so it''s not obvious.


    Most of the Fang family''s furniture has been transported to their ancestral home, and the brothers and sisters only brought some personal things. Rao is so, Fang Xinsu''s luggage has dozens of big boxes.


    There were still some empty Bogu shelves and bookshelves in the room. After a while, they were full. There are several open boxes full of books on the floor.

 Chapter 8

    Seeing this, Qingliu stepped forward and said, "it''s really late today. Tomorrow I''ll go to my wife''s yard and find a bookshelf to carry these books."


    Mammy Zhang waved her hand and said, "no, these are not what girls often look at. They are all received in the small warehouse. Take time to air them."


    After hearing this, Qingliu did not retort, but said in a soft voice, "in that case, I think things are pretty reasonable. Mammy''s all the way is hard work. Why don''t you take a bath first to relieve your fatigue? We are here


    Mammy Zhang turned her stiff neck. She was really tired after sitting in the carriage these days. She was a little old, so she asked a few words and went to have a rest.


    After a while, Fang Xinsu came back after washing. Because her hair was still wet, she was not in a hurry to go to bed. Instead, she sat in front of the window dressing table and read a book.


    Light Liu brought a tray in, put it on the small round table in the inner room, said with a smile, "this is the sugar steamed crisp cheese just sent by the eldest lady. Would you like to try it, girl?"


    Fang Xinsu put down the book in his hand and looked at a palm sized lotus bowl with azure glaze in Ru kiln in the wooden tray. There were some white things in it, and some raisins and walnuts were sprinkled on it. I can''t help asking, "what is this made of?"


    "It''s made of milk, sweet rice wine and sugar."


    Fang Xinsu nodded. Although she didn''t know what the taste was like, her big cousin sent it to me. It was not very good not to eat it. She picked up the spoon, carefully scooped a mouthful to her mouth, the taste is rare silky, mouth melt, some light milk and sweet, no milk smell. At the dinner party just now, she didn''t eat much, and her stomach was empty. Now she ate up the whole bowl of crisp cheese.


    After eating, Qingliu served her to rinse her mouth again, and said with a smile, "the big girl said that she wants to eat this every day. Since the girl likes it, she should make an extra bowl and send it to me every day."


    Fang Xinsu frowned slightly. "If so, would it be too much trouble for my cousin?"


    "No problem, it''s just a matter of one sentence. When you do it in a small kitchen, you always do more. The other girls are not used to the taste. If you don''t eat, it''s just cheap for us. " Liu said with a smile.


    Fang Xinsu saw that Liu''s words were clear-cut and well advanced. He said with a smile, "in this way, I''m partial to my cousin''s good things. Our younger sister and younger brother are new comers. Some rules are not very clear. I hope elder sister Qingliu can give us more advice in the future. "


    "You''re so polite, you can''t be such a girl. Besides, both the girl and the young master are smart. How can I help you? It''s just that the people in this house are a little familiar with each other. I can talk to the girl about some things in private. "


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "in that case, I''m not polite. You first tell the masters of the house that I have a number in mind. "


    Seeing Fang Xinsu''s understanding, Qingliu carefully talked about everyone''s temperament, hobbies and various relationships in the house, from the old lady to the girls, aunts and even the big servant girls around them.


    Fang Xinsu is very transparent. After a few words, she has already understood more than half of what she wants to do in the future.


    After Fang Xinsu went to sleep, Qingliu went back to his room. She divided a room by herself. When she got back to the room, she opened the purse given by Fang Xinsu. Just now, she felt it round and didn''t know what it was. When she opened it, she found that there were several lotus seed sized pearls inside. Such a large pearl, willow also had a few, but these beads even exude a pink purple luster, which is very rare.


    Qingliu carefully put the beads away, washed a little and then lay down to sleep. Today, she was busy all day, and she was a little sleepy. With Qingliu''s suggestion, Fang Xinsu''s sister and brother really quickly integrated into the life of Hou Fu. They usually have a lot of influence on the people of Hou Fu. For example, Qingliu''s maids in the Marquis''s house receive double monthly payments every month, and they usually give their servants rich rewards.


    Originally, those maids who didn''t want to come to di Cui Zhai to serve all destroyed their intestines. I had known that cousin would be rich. It''s just that money is hard to buy. I knew that


    Shen Cang hears from the servant that the girl and master are both rich. He can''t help thinking carefully. At the sight of Fang Xinsu that day, Shen Cang was killed by her beauty. Han''s rules are strict. As long as a man enters two doors, at least two or three women will follow him. He can''t get close to where the girls live.


    These days, he didn''t even step out of the house. He just tried to please Fang Xinjian at home, because Fang Xinjian and her sister are similar. Now it''s said that this cousin is not only beautiful but also rich. Shen Cang can''t help but have the idea of Fang Xinsu. If he could marry his cousin, wouldn''t he have both beauty and silver?


    What''s the best way to do it?


    Before Shen Cang could come up with a way, the good news came from the mansion that the Marquis had won the battle in the southwest coast. He would attack the Jinsha kingdom in the Dakang Dynasty and capture all the princes of the Jinhua Kingdom alive. Now he is going back to the court! As a result of the victory, the government will be elated.


    After getting the news, the guests who came to congratulate didn''t know how many.


    As the loyal Marquis has not yet returned, most of the people who came here were Gao Ming''s wives. Naturally, these people were received by the Han family in person. Han also had to be a housekeeper, a council member, a guest of honor, and to organize things to welcome her husband back. So she left some of the housework to several girls. She said, "girls are old, and they should learn how to be a housekeeper. After all, this is the most important thing in their daughter''s family. Other poems, songs, music, chess, calligraphy and painting are just small skills for entertainment, not mainstream. "


    After coming to Hou''s house, Fang Xinsu and other cousins went to school together in boudoir school. In the morning, they learned some poems and articles, and in the afternoon, they practiced piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.


    Now, as soon as Mrs. Hou spoke, she suspended their boudoir study, and even the youngest Shen Xiang was assigned a task. Compared with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, housekeeper, director and human relations are the most important courses for a lady from a big family.


    Shen Tian is in charge of the big kitchen, Fang Xinsu is in charge of the master''s sewing room, Shen Xiang is in charge of the parts of each room, Shen Ying is in charge of the furnishings, and Shen Lian is in charge of the chores.


    Han ordered people to clean up the Tonghua Pavilion, which is nearest to the second gate, to deal with the affairs of the girls, and then sent mother Qi to take charge. The girls arrive here every day and leave at the beginning of the afternoon.


    In this way, if there is anything, we can get together quickly and have a place to discuss. Although there are some minor omissions occasionally, nothing serious has happened.

 Chapter 9

    These days, the light willow attends at the side of Fang Xinsu, also can be regarded as seeing all kinds of life.


    All the servants thought that if the girls were in charge of the affairs, the young ladies who had not been out of the cabinet were naturally thin-faced and broad-minded. Naturally, they were easier to fool than Mrs. Hou. Therefore, they all had to be slack and put off everything. There are not a few people who have filled their own pockets and shoddy goods. What''s more, there are also those who are clever enough to get more money and even steal property from the government.


    But after a day, people began to feel the smell.


    Needless to say, Shen Tian, the eldest daughter of Hou''s family, has a strong sense of dignity in her actions, and her subordinates don''t dare to be perfunctory. Moreover, she has been used to helping Han''s family to do some housework for several years, and the servants in the kitchen are still honest, so she seems to be able to handle affairs with ease.


    Since Fang Xinsu''s mother left, she has been the director of the family for the past two years. Now she is still in charge of the fields and shops. As an outsider, although not much, but never buck passing, has its own set of rules. What''s wrong with the next people is that they don''t speak in a strict voice. Instead, they analyze it one by one in a slow and soft voice. It''s clear and well founded, so that those who reply can''t wait to get into the cracks in the ground.


    Although Shen Xiang was very childish, he left his mother when he was young and had to be self reliant. His mother''s teaching gradually straightened out after a long time.


    Shen Ying and Shen Lian are much worse. Both of them are common women. Some of them don''t think much of them if they have a decent job in the government.


    Shen Ying is so used to being gentle that she can''t hold them. Fortunately, mother Qi is still in charge. After suffering a few small losses, Shen Ying hardens her heart and sends off a few people who don''t listen to her, so people are much more honest.


    It was Shen Lian. Although she was flustered for a few days at the beginning, she soon calmed down and only talked about the rules of the house. If someone breaks the rules, no matter who has a face or no face, she will treat them equally. If they should be punished, they should be rewarded. For a moment, people dare not fool her.


    On the whole, after selling several servants and changing several managers, the atmosphere of the government changed instantly, and all of them became honest.


    Shen Xiang, who had been in power for the first time, was preparing for a big fight. Who knew that people were used to it when they were under Han''s hands. Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly put out the idea of fishing in troubled waters.


    This day, they are bored here, but someone bumps into them. A daughter-in-law received the right card to reply, saying that she wanted the young man''s tea money this month. Shen Xiang asked, "what''s the money for tea?" The daughter-in-law replied, "twenty taels of silver a month is for young masters to drink tea, use snacks and write money in school."


    Shen Xiang snorted coldly, "all brothers have their own share, ten taels of silver a month. Pen, ink, paper and inkstone, tea and snacks are also distributed according to the rules. How did the money come from? "


    The daughter-in-law said with a smile, "that''s what it''s all about. Maybe it''s a name from the top to supplement the young man."


    Shen Xiang also said, "pure bullshit is to supplement brothers, and it should be led by the headmistress or big servant girl in each courtyard. What does it have to do with you?"


    It happened that Erya, the girl of the third young master Shen Mao, was here. She said with a smile, "I''ve never heard that our young master still has this money. Sometimes the three young masters of Gongzhong don''t like to drink tea. They all make money to buy tea alone. "


    Shen Xiang said, "it seems that I don''t know whose pocket the silver has been filled." The daughter-in-law lowered her head and kept silent. Shen Xiang was about to punish her, but Shen Tian pulled her sleeve. Seeing her cousin shaking her head, Shen Xiang knew that she was not going to make a scene.


    Although Shen Xiang didn''t understand his meaning, he still said, "just forget the past. I''ll let bygones be bygones, my girl. This silver is just like this. If it happens again, I will not spare you. " The daughter-in-law had to promise to go. After the daughter-in-law left, Shen Xiang looked at Shen Tian and said, "sister, why don''t you let me punish that woman. It''s just because we are so easy to talk that we are so confident. "


    Shen Tian shakes his head. "She has been a housekeeper for so many years. Doesn''t she know this idea? However, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. We are the Marquis''s house, and we should occasionally leak something to our servants. Mother''s housekeeper is strict, and the stewards only dare to be greedy for small money. I heard that a comprador from the government, together with the housekeeper, had quoted dozens of times more for chicken, duck and fish. They dare to pay 200 Wen for an egg of three Wen. Fortunately, the new daughter-in-law of the family was a good one. When she saw the account book, she told her mother-in-law. Now you find out the matter. You can''t think of how much money the master''s family has collected from the steward''s house. "


    Everyone was hanged appetite, Shen Xiang urgent pull Shen Tian sleeve "good sister, you quickly say ah."


    Shen Tian said, "after more than ten years in charge, the man has saved tens of thousands of liang of furniture, countless gold and silver treasures, and a four-way house. If it wasn''t for the slaves who couldn''t buy land, I would have become a big landlord. Even the four or five grade officials in Beijing, who are so idle, may not be able to set up such a family property after more than ten years. "


    When they heard this, they all smacked their tongue.


    Fang Xinsu also picked up a few pieces of Diao Nu from some wealthy families in Fuzhou. He bullied others and harmed the master''s family. A group of sisters began to argue about this topic. The women waiting outside all looked at each other. Is this the case or not? What if you don''t say something to the point and you become a Diao Nu?


    Just at this time, a woman came in from the Chuihua gate. She fell on her knees and said, "ladies, someone from the palace has brought the imperial edict. She is waiting in the front yard. Please go to the front yard to receive the edict."


    What''s the point? What''s the point?


    Although there are many doubts in her heart, Qingliu quickly pulls fangxinsu aside to dress her up. Fortunately, she would take one or two of the girl''s big clothes and a few kinds of jewelry with her every day for a rainy day.


    Today, Fang Xinsu wore a moon white tunic and a water blue slant skirt. Qingliu took out a lilac purple Yanluo shirt she took with her to replace it. Today, she wears a pair of white jade ornaments on her head, which is a little plain. Qingliu happens to have a jasper cut-out Hibiscus Huasheng, which is also suitable.


    Fang Xinsu usually wears only one or two bracelets because he dislikes the extra burden of wearing bracelets. In the Dakang Dynasty, where four bracelets were popular among noble women, it was obviously a little thinner. Today, she brought a pair of jade Princess bracelets, and Qingliu found a pair of jade bracelets of similar color from the box for her to wear. Then put two Jasper rings on your fingers, and hang a jasper vine flower pendant on your waist.


    That''s fair enough.

 Chapter 10

    Although the imperial edict was given to Fang Xinsu, since it was issued in the Hou''s mansion, the princes and girls of the Hou''s mansion naturally wanted to receive the edict together.


    When Han dressed up and came over, he saw that light willow had been waiting on the Lord to clean up, and was helping Shen Tianli dress. And the others are still in a hurry.


    She coughed softly, "well, it''s almost enough. Let''s go out to get the order first. Don''t let my father-in-law wait for a long time."


    So they rushed to the front yard. The young man was already waiting. The front yard had set up incense tables and other things. Everyone knelt down on the cushion in turn. Seeing that all the people had arrived, Duke Xu, who came to issue the edict, opened the Edict and read, "to heaven, the emperor said..."


    Anyway, the main idea is that Fang Xinsu''s father died on duty. How devoted and devoted he was to his work when he was alive. Unfortunately, he died early, which made the emperor very sad. It was said that he still had a son and a daughter, so he granted fangxinjian the title of yunqi Duwei of zhengsipin, and fangxinsu the title of leader of Le''an county. Each reward is 100 taels of gold, and a certain amount is awarded.


    After the edict was issued, Han, as the wife in charge, naturally invited Mr. Xu to stay for tea. Mr. Xu said with a smile, "Mrs. Hou is polite, so it''s not necessary to drink tea. We have a job in our palace, so we will stay soon. But the Empress Dowager wants to see the leader of Le''an county. Tomorrow, you can take the leader to the palace. Someone will take you. "


    It''s strange that the emperor suddenly knighted the two children. Now the Empress Dowager wants to see Xin Su again. Han''s heart is full of doubts. But she didn''t show a cent on her face, and said with a smile, "don''t worry, my father-in-law. Tomorrow I will take the county master to go there on time."


    Mr. Xu turned around and left. The housekeeper of Han''s house immediately sent people out with a smile. Naturally, he had to send some tea and silver.


    Seeing that all the people in the palace had left, they all went to the Fang family to congratulate them.


    Shen Cang sees the square heart element elegant demeanor that dress up is more beautiful, in the heart urgent straight itch. As soon as he turns his head, he sees his sister standing on the side of Fang Xinsu. She can speak very well. With a change of heart, he goes to pull Shen lian to a secluded place.


    Shen Lian angrily threw Shen Cang''s hand away. "Brother, what are you doing? I''ve torn my clothes. They''re new clothes of the season just sent by the royal court. They''re only on today. "


    Shen Cang flattered and said, "good sister, don''t be angry. Another day, when my brother has money, I''ll buy you ten or eight sets, which you can wear. "


    Shen Lian obviously didn''t believe what he said? Brother, do you know how expensive the clothes of Jinxiu pavilion are? It''s just a medium-sized suit for me. It costs more than 30 taels for each suit. One set is the top of your three-month monthly income. What do you want to buy for me? "


    Shen Cang rubbed his hand. "Brother, I have no money now. As long as you are willing to help me, there will be some in the future."


    Shen Lian looks at him suspiciously, "how do you want me to help you?"


    Make sure there is no one else around, Shen Cang whispered a few words in Shen Lian''s ear. He wholeheartedly thought that Shen Lian would greatly support and help after listening to his plan. Who thought, Shen Lian looked at him like a fool. "Brother, you''re not confused, are you? Even if my cousin is not granted the title of county leader, she is also the legitimate daughter of a senior official of three grades. She has a rich dowry and is both talented and beautiful. How could you miss someone else? Don''t say madam, if father comes back to know your plan, I''m afraid he won''t spare you


    Shen Cang said angrily, "you girl? With whom? What happened to the county leader? As long as she has a bad reputation and doesn''t marry me, can she still be an aunt? If you think about it, she really married me. She brought me a large amount of dowry. I don''t think that the position of Prince of Marquis''s mansion is in my pocket? Then you will be the son''s sister, and I will certainly help you to find a husband. "


    Hearing that Shen Cang Yue said more and more outrageous, Shen Lian coldly said, "I advise my brother not to daydream. Fang''s cousin is not as easy to cheat as you think. Even his wife is not allowed to fool you. Go back and think about it yourself. " Then he turned and left. See Shen Lian unexpectedly so ruthless, Shen Cang gas of stamp foot "dead wench, wait for elder brother I developed, have ability you don''t come to beg me."


    When she returns to her residence, Shen Lian is more and more worried. Shen Cang, a fool, has always been lustful. In addition to a strange mother, aunt Bai, they should not make any big mistakes.


    Think of here, she can''t sit still, let the servant girl take two packets of snacks to go with her white aunt''s residence. Aunt Bai was forbidden and couldn''t go out all day. She was very happy to see her daughter. "Oh, I just heard from the little servant girl that both cousin and master were knighted. Tut Tut, cousin is the eldest daughter who lost her mother. It was difficult to get married. Now, with the county head''s letter, we will not worry about our marriage. If your brother could marry her, it would be great. "


    Shen Lian just swallowed the tea in her throat and almost spewed it out. It''s true that she is a mother and her son. They are just as fanciful.


    Unlike aunt Bai and Shen Cang, who are not knowledgeable, Shen Lian, who has received systematic education as a lady, does not believe Shen Cang''s flawed plan at all.


    Think of here, for Han, Shen Lian had to say a admire. Although because of aunt Bai''s reason, Han didn''t like her very much, but she had never been stingy with her share and opportunity. From poetry to etiquette, she is the same as Shen Tian and Shen Xiang. She has always been grateful for this.


    It''s because she knows the etiquette that she knows the shame. But her biological mother and elder brother are already like this. She has advised them many times, but she can''t stop them.


    Aunt Bai kept on nagging, and asked Shen lian to take advantage of the housekeeper''s opportunity to earn more money. Shen Lian couldn''t listen any more, so she stood up and said, "I''m going to go and greet the old lady, so I''ll leave first. My aunt is very happy to take care of herself."


    Then she took the servant girl and went out. When she came to the gate of the hospital, she said to Songzhi, the girl who came to see her off, "you are a reliable girl, and you know what you think. After all, my aunt is old. Sometimes she is a little confused. You should try to persuade her more


    Songzhi was embarrassed and said, "girl, I''m joking. Who is the maid? How can my aunt hear the words of the maid? "


    Shen Lian said with a smile, "I don''t have anything else. If there''s something wrong with my aunt, you can''t stop it. You must come to me. I can''t persuade you. There''s my wife. Otherwise, if she''s not careful, she''ll be the first to suffer


    Songzhi Yilin "yes, I understand." Looking at Shen Lian, Songzhi feels that the three girls have changed, which is obviously different from before. Speaking and doing things with a bit thorough, finally Bai aunt this department, have a, understand people.


    As soon as she was relieved, she saw the young master Shen Cang coming.


    After Shen Cang arrived, he drove out the servant girl and mother-in-law, and murmured to Aunt Bai in the room for a long time. Songzhi thought of the three girls'' warning, so he listened attentively. After hearing this, he was shocked.

 Chapter 11

    After Shen Cang left, Songzhi found a reason to come to huaibi Pavilion. When Shen Cang and aunt Bai''s plan is told, Shen Lian''s eyes are cold. The mother and son are really confused. She has such an unreliable idea. Isn''t it self inflicted?


    She took a deep breath and asked, "can you hear my aunt and my brother talking about when to act?"


    Songzhi shook his head. "No, the eldest young master asked his aunt and watch... No, it''s to walk around with the county leader more often. On weekdays, in front of the county leader, he boasted more about his filial piety and courtesy, so that the county leader would like him more. The rest is not agreed now. Aunt Bai said that if only the people in the Marquis''s residence knew about this, they might have been concealed. When you have to find more people, it''s better to make trouble all over the city. "


    "They have a good plan." Shen Lian said angrily.


    She looked at the pine branch and said, "well, I know about this. I think you can also know how ridiculous the plot between my aunt and my brother is. They still think that the plan is perfect. If it is known by others, my aunt and brother are masters, and they will be punished at most, but the servants are not sure. " Then he took off a pair of red gold and silk Bracelets from his hand and put them on Songzhi''s hand. "Good sister, you must look after them, or we''ll all have a hard time. After that, I''ll trouble you. "


    For these things, di Cui Zhai Li didn''t know anything. The girls in the yard are busy with the things that Fang Xinsu will enter the Palace tomorrow. They have to smoke clothes, find jewelry, and prepare the purse and things for reward. All of a sudden, people are looking up and down.


    Fang Xinsu is a little tired of making trouble. She throws the pieces in her hand. "OK, isn''t it just going to the palace? What''s so noisy? I haven''t got rid of it yet. I don''t have to be too gorgeous to meet the Empress Dowager. If you see a guest in a normal day, you should wear what you wear tomorrow. Just wear the jewelry set of Hetian Biyu. It''s getting late. Clean up the room and go down to rest. " When Fang Xinsu was so angry, people didn''t dare to choke. They arranged the scattered clothes and jewelry and quietly stepped back.


    It''s not easy to bring too many servant girls because it''s a meeting in the palace. Han and Fang Xinsu only took Feixu and mammy Qi to wait on them, because they both waited on Han to enter the palace, and the rules in the palace were more familiar.


    Although Xu Gonggong said that the Empress Dowager would meet them in Chenshi, they set out in Maoshi. At noon, Han came back, but only Han came back, but Fang Xinsu didn''t come back.


    All the sisters are waiting in Yuehua courtyard. As soon as Han returns to the courtyard, she returns her big clothes. Shen Tian personally presents a bowl of sour plum soup to her mother. Han used half a cup to slowly say, "the Empress Dowager is very congenial to Su''s sister and wants to keep her in the palace for a few days."


    Shen Tian immediately said with a smile, "it seems that my cousin is really blessed." Although the other sisters had some jealousy in their hearts, they had to praise them together.


    In the palace, the Empress Dowager asked Fang Xinsu to have dinner with her, but she didn''t expect the emperor and the queen to join in. During the dinner, the emperor was very kind to each other. He asked her a lot about her childhood and gave her a lot of precious jewelry. When he left, he said, "I have known your father for many years. I never thought he would go so young. If he hadn''t blocked an arrow for me when I was young, maybe he would have been stronger. Since your mother likes you so much, you should spend more time in the palace. If you are wronged, just let someone tell me. I''ll make the decision for you. "


    When people saw that the emperor and the Empress Dowager were very kind to each other, they did not dare to wait for her. The empresses sent people to send all kinds of exquisite jewelry, clothing and ornaments. Everyone thinks that the Empress Dowager and the emperor treat her so well because of Lord Fang. After all, Lord Fang used to be the companion of the emperor when he grew up together. Naturally, his feelings are much deeper than those of other ministers. After the death of Lord Fang, the emperor should treat her descendants favourably.


    Only the Empress Dowager knew that the emperor was so kind to Fang Xinsu because Fang Xinsu was the emperor''s own daughter. Ah, they are all evil debts!


    After returning to Qianyuan palace, Emperor Longde withdrew his servants. Take out a scroll from the bookshelf and draw a picture of ladies on it. If Qingliu and others are here, they will be very surprised that the woman in the painting is 50% similar to Fang Xinsu. The difference is that the woman has willow leaf eyebrows and cherry mouth. Fang Xinsu''s eyebrows are natural distant mountain eyebrows, long eyebrows into the bun, elegant stretch, close look and Longde emperor''s eyebrow shape is very similar. Touching the face of the woman in the painting, lundeti sighed, "Ruoshi, I finally see our daughter today. She looks like you, and some like me, and her mouth looks like the queen mother. If you''re still here, how wonderful it would be for our family to be together? "


    Fang Xinsu was a little uneasy at the beginning. Later, when she saw that the Empress Dowager really loved her and that she was nervous, the Empress Dowager also said, "you don''t have to be nervous. Even when your father was a child, he grew up watching you at home. There is no difference between watching you at home and watching your granddaughter. You just take this place as your own home. Don''t make yourself at home. " Although there may be a lot of exaggeration in these words, at least Fang Xinsu did not dare to regard this place as her own home, but the attitude of the Empress Dowager was already there. Anyway, she was an orphan girl and had nothing to do with the plan of the empress dowager, so she gradually relaxed.

 Chapter 12

    Fang Xinsu is not in the house, and all her intrigues can only be temporarily shelved. Shen Cang starts his extravagant life again. The other girls went on.


    Although the master was not there, there was nothing wrong with mother Fang and light willow in the di Cui Zhai.


    That night, the willow made a dream of all kinds of previous life, so wantonly publicized youth, never come back. After waking up, light willow wiped the sweat on his forehead and went to the window in his coat. Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, she wondered if it was such a peaceful night there?


    Since crossing over, she has been busy adapting to the life here all day, learning a lot of skills, and intriguing with a lot of little girls. She has not dreamed about modern things for a long time.


    Speaking of it, her journey is also related to dreams. I remember that in the past few months, she always had some strange dreams, in which a girl in ancient clothes would appear.


    It should be said that at first it was a girl''s.


    Her original name is Lin Youran, and the girl''s name is also Lin Youran. She was born in Baishan Town, a relatively wealthy town in the suburbs of Beijing. Her father is a grandson and her mother is the daughter of a scholar family.


    Although she is only a girl, her parents love her very much. When she was born, it was September when chrysanthemums were blooming, and her father named her leisurely, which was taken from Tao Yuanming''s "leisurely seeing Nanshan".


    When she was more than two years old, her mother added a younger brother to her. When she went to the new year, her father also passed the local examination. After the hospital examination, she was a child. Who would like to, father to take an examination of the hospital before accidentally infected with dysentery, missed the opportunity not to say, not long after he went. After my father left, there were still some savings and a few acres of good land in the family. My mother occasionally made some embroidery to sell. With the care of the people, the family was able to live well.


    It''s just that misfortune never comes alone. Leisurely in the dream when he was seven years old, Baishan Town, which had been in good weather, suffered a rare flood. All of a sudden, houses and farmhouses were flooded.


    In desperation, the mother had to take their sister and brother to escape. Later, in the process of escape, her mother was seriously ill and in danger.


    In desperation, xiaoyouran saw that the steward of a wealthy family came to buy people among the refugees and did not hesitate to sell herself. Because she knew a few words and had learned needlework from her mother for two years, she got more money than others, which was worth ten taels of silver.


    She asked the manager of Shen Fu, who came to buy people, to help her find a doctor to see her mother. The cost came from her money. When the steward saw that she was filial at a young age, he agreed to her request. Not only did she help her mother find a doctor to catch the medicine, but also she arranged a temporary residence for her mother and brother. And allow her to wait for her mother to get well after entering the house.


    Half a month later, her mother, Lin Du, had basically recovered. Although she was distressed to learn what her daughter had done, she had no way. The servant girl of a wealthy family, in fact, you want to redeem yourself? Hearing that the flood in her hometown had subsided, she decided to take her son back to the countryside. At least there were several acres of land in the countryside, so she would not have enough food and clothing. But her daughter''s money for selling herself was only less than two Liang. These families supported Lin Fu in his studies, and they also asked doctors to prepare medicine for him and deal with his affairs. They didn''t save much money. She is determined to urge her son to come out early so that she can redeem her daughter.


    Leisurely and tearfully bid farewell to his mother and younger brother, and was renamed liu''er. In the words of the mother who was in charge of training them at that time, since being a girl is like being a girl, don''t think about what happened before. After training in a yard for three months, she was assigned to the study in the outer yard as a junior rough servant girl.


    Liu''er is very grateful to Shen''s family, and he is more attentive when he is on duty. Later, in an accident, he saved Han Yucheng, the son of Han''s family, who came to play but fell into the river. He was regarded as a second-class servant girl by the doctor in charge of the family and was transferred to his side for training. He changed his name to Qingliu. Otherwise, she bought it from outside. If she had no chance, she would never want to enter the inner courtyard.


    Light willow while on duty, at the same time with the big servant girls to learn all kinds of skills.


    The great ancestor of the loyal Marquis Shen Mingchang was the loyal and righteous Duke who founded the country in the Xia Dynasty. His title has been passed on for four generations, and his family is still a real power and noble. Mrs. Shen''s Han family comes from the Marquis''s residence in Changping, which is also a century old family. Naturally, people in such a residence have strict rules and proper behavior.


    At this time, it''s not very easy to be a good servant girl. Not only do you have to learn how to observe words and colors, but also you have to be a female embroidery worker, a tea fan, and a little literate. In short, by the time she had mastered all these skills, she was 12 years old. At this time, the light willow was already one of the maids close to Mrs. Shen.


    Seeing that Qingliu was steady and delicate, Mrs. Shen Da thought that she would be a lady in charge of her husband after two years.


    That day, Lin Youran woke up and found that he had gone through the dream and became the ancient willow. Those dreams that I had become reality, but some of my memories in modern times are blurred.


    chuang chou dreaming a butterfly? Or a dream?


    Read a variety of through the novel leisurely soon calm down. Anyway, everything in front of us is real. Now that we are here, we should survive well. Her parents died early, her relatives didn''t get along with each other, and she didn''t care much in modern times. Although I don''t know where the original owner has gone, leisurely feels that he wants to live a good life for the original owner. If one day the original owner comes back, he can have a better living environment.


    She does not have too much time to hurt the spring and autumn or tangle too much, no matter where, survival is the first. The ancients believed in the theory of ghosts and gods very much. If she showed anything unusual, it would arouse the suspicion of others. She can only adapt to what is in front of her as soon as possible.


    With the memory of the original owner and carefree carefulness, after more than a month, she finally integrated everything in her dream with the real world.


    She has lived for 30 years in modern times, which is older than the eldest lady at that time. Being a person for two generations naturally makes her behave more and more steadily. But she knows the truth of "shoot the head bird" and does not fight for anything. She just does her own work at ease. It was her temperament that caught Mrs. Shen''s eye. Half a year later, she took over the married light red and was promoted to be a first-class servant girl, in charge of Mrs. Shen''s hairpin and jewelry.


    Now, although she is referred to as a watch girl, she is smart and generous. They are very kind to their servants, and those sent by Mrs. Shen all take double monthly money. With all kinds of rewards, Qingliu has gained a lot in the past two months.


    No matter how much reward is given, it can''t cover up the idea that Qingliu wants to redeem herself. After all, she is the core of modern people. No matter how much she looks like the ancients, her expectation of freedom can''t be erased.


    Just at this time, the doorkeeper of the back door came to tell her that her brother saw her coming.

 Chapter 13

    After passing through, Qingliu once met the relatives of the original owner. Her mother and brother would come to see her every few months and bring her some food and clothes. At the beginning, people said that they must want to pick more money from her. When she first came over, she was suspicious.


    But after a long time, she didn''t believe what these people said. Because her mother and younger brother never ask for silver like her every time they come here. Instead, they always give her money for fear that she will be short of money. Qingliu naturally won''t ask for their money, but she hasn''t given them any.


    Light willow quickly walked to the back door, her brother Lin Enron has been many times, the doorkeeper recognized him as the big maid light willow''s brother, so let him wait in the hall. After entering, light willow shouts "little brother" to the boy sitting there.


    Lin Enron immediately stood up and cried, "sister, you are here."


    Qingliu asked him to sit down, then took out dozens of big money from his pocket and handed it to his wife. "Please, mom, go to the back street for me and ask for some delicate dried fruits. Here, I''ll watch for mom first." The mother-in-law took the money and went happily.


    Enron said with some restraint, "sister, you spend money like this every time I come here, I..."


    "It''s OK. If you can come to see me, I''ll be very happy. What''s the cost? By the way, didn''t you come last month? Why are you here again, but what''s the matter at home? " Her family members are afraid that they will come more often, so they will add some dislike to Qingliu. They only come two or three times a year.


    Enron smile, "sister, I passed the Tongsheng test, this time I came to the capital to test."


    Rao is a mature man, and he can''t help exclaiming, "really? When did you take the entrance exam as a child student? I have no idea. "


    Enron''s face slightly blushed, "I didn''t think I could pass, but I just wanted to have a try at the end. I didn''t expect that I won the exam. My husband said that my lessons are fairly good. Let me have a try this time. "


    Liu said with a smile, "well, don''t have too much pressure. You are still young. If you are lucky, there will be another time."


    There was a voice outside the door: "what''s wrong?"


    Sister and brother turned back together, but it was Feixu. She was followed by a woman who carried a food box in her hand. The woman put down her food box and turned away.


    "Why are you here?" she said with a smile


    Feixu opened the food box and served the food to the outside. She said, "madam, when she heard that your brother is here, she said that Lin''s brother would come and let the small kitchen make some good dishes for you to have a good talk." I just had lunch, and I had some support, so I asked for this job, and it was time to eat. By the way, what did you two say just now


    "It''s nothing. It''s my little brother. He won the entrance examination. He came to Beijing to take part in the hospital examination this time."


    How old is Lin Ge''er this year? I''m going to be a child student? "


    "He''s two years younger than me. He''s thirteen years old."


    "So small? It''s really young and promising. Well, you can''t be forgiven for such a big event. You''ll have to treat it with wine. " Feixu said jokingly.


    "I''m a girl. How can I have a banquet because of this? I''ll treat you to a good drink after Enron''s entrance examination. "


    "Yes, but I''m afraid you won''t be able to stay in this house when your brother really gets a scholar." Fly catkins and willow intersect for many years, naturally know her wish, now see friends wish to achieve hope, also can''t help but for her joy. She stood up and said, "well, I''ll wait for your dinner. Well, you two have a good talk. I''ll go first."


    Back at Yuehua courtyard, seeing Feixu''s smiling face, Mammy Qi asked, "what''s the matter with you girl? Happy to be like this


    Feixu replied with a smile, "it''s not my good thing, it''s light willow."


    Sitting in the inner room, Han couldn''t help asking, "what''s the happy event for that girl Qingliu?"


    Feixu said, "I just sent you some dishes. I heard that Qingliu''s younger brother Lin''s brother passed the entrance examination. This time, he came to the capital to take part in the hospital examination."


    Han said with a smile, "this is really a good thing. How old is Qingliu''s younger brother? If you are a child, you are a young talent. In that case, I''ll see the child when you ask him to come over


    "Is" fly catkins take orders and go.


    Han''s small kitchen cooking out of the natural flavor needless to say, light willow is used to eating, do not feel what. Enron is the first time to eat such a delicate meal, it is a bit of a gulp. "Eat slowly, be careful of choking," he said with a smile He poured another cup of tea and brought it to his hand.


    Just at this time, Feixu came running. Seeing that they hadn''t finished eating, they anxiously said to the light willow, "come on, don''t eat now. Let your brother clean up. The lady wants to see him


    Smell speech, light willow quickly pull him up, help him trim hair bun, Enron today to see his sister, specially wear 80% new straight, although the material is poor, but still clean.


    Han met Enron and asked him a lot. Although he was a little nervous, he was not humble and arrogant when he was young. At first, he liked him a little. The clothes he was wearing were clean and tidy, but the material was ordinary, and the palm had thick cocoons. I don''t think it''s the kind of sour and fickle people.


    She heard from them that the family of Qingliu came to see her several times a year, bringing food and clothing. They never asked for money. It seems that they really came to see their daughter. However, scholars always pay attention to reputation.


    Thinking of this, Mrs. Han asked, "I''ve heard that Lin Ge''er has already been a child. He''s really a promising future. But if you come here to visit your sister, you won''t be afraid that outsiders will laugh. Do you have a sister who has been a servant girl? "


    Lin Enron returned to "when his mother was seriously ill, he was young and ignorant. My sister sells herself to save her mother and protect her younger brother. It''s a great act of righteousness. If I dislike my sister because of this, don''t I read the books of sages in vain! "


    After listening to this, Mrs. Han said with a smile, "well, I''m ambitious. I hope you will remember what you said today and treat your sister well in the future. I''ll put my words here today. If you can pass the entrance examination for a scholar, I''ll allow you to take your sister away, and don''t want her money to redeem her. "


    Lin Enron said excitedly, "madam, are you serious?"


    Han nodded with a smile, "I''m a good talker. If you don''t make it this time, when will you make it in the exam? When will you pick up your sister?"


    Lin Enron bowed himself and said, "thank you, madam. Students must take the exam carefully."

 Chapter 14

    She also followed Shane, but in her heart she could not help but make complaints about the law. According to the law of the great Kang Dynasty, all the relatives who had fame and fortune were not the slaves. Lin Enron as long as the test scholar, Han is not want to release people can not.


    The Han family gave Lin Enron a pair of gold bronzes, his first-class inkstones and two new books, and asked him to quit.


    Qingliu sent him to the corner door and said, "although the lady said that, you don''t have to care too much. Just treat him with a normal heart. I didn''t expect you to come either. I made a pair of shoes for you and only half of them were accepted. When you''re done, come back. I have something for you Then he took a purse to him, "those who go out, don''t be too simple, you take these."


    Enron to refuse, willow said with a smile, "a little pocket money, my sister or can afford." Enron refused, but Fang took it.


    After seeing off her younger brother, Qingliu went back to the house and opened the burden brought by Enron. See inside have a Qian red slant Jin Bijia, and a bright red scatter flower skirt and a pair of embroidered shoes. Light willow tried, this dress shoes oneself put on also just fit.


    Lin''s mother and Lin Enron were good to her, but because the original owner was their relative, since she accepted the affection for the original owner, she naturally had to repay her kindness.


    Although the clothes are top-quality cotton clothes, they can''t be worn in this house. Even the third class maid is covered with silk. If she is dressed like this, she may be passed on as something.


    Qingliu put away her clothes, opened her own material box, selected a stone blue silk with bamboo pattern from it, and cut a straight one according to Lin Enron''s size. The material itself has dark lines, so there is no need to bother to embroider any flowers. Qingliu has a wide edge with a piece of blue and blue brocade satin. Her hand is very fast, and by evening, a dress has been sewn.


    Fortunately, Fang Xinsu didn''t come back. She didn''t have to wait on the girl, so she made a dress for mother Lin and a pair of shoes for mother and son.


    She estimated that Enron should have finished the exam, so she told the woman on the corner gate. As soon as Enron came, she told her that the woman should go down.


    Lin Enron didn''t come, but Fang Xinsu came back with a pile of rewards, which were sent back by Duke Liu, the general manager of the CI Ning palace. Along with them came an aunt, two mothers, two grand maids and two little maids.


    Mr. Liu said to the Han family, "the Empress Dowager has said that after the county leader got the letter, he would have had more contacts with the royal clan. It''s better to have servants who are familiar with the Royal affairs around him. According to the system, the county leader should have four missionaries and four women in the palace. Only when he heard the county leader''s praise for his former servant girls, he only rewarded them. The county leader said that it would be more comfortable to live in Hou''s house, and the Empress Dowager would let us send the county leader back. After that, the county leader would have a lot of trouble for Mrs. Hou. "


    Han listened respectfully and said with a smile, "please tell the Empress Dowager that I should take good care of the county leader."


    In addition to the things given to Fang Xinsu, Duke Liu also brought the reward given by the Empress Dowager to Han and Shen Tian. They are all silk, palace fans, beads and so on. Things are not so precious, but after all, they are given by the empress dowager, which is a rare honor.


    After hearing that Fang Xinsu had come back, all the sisters came to see her. They had been missing for more than ten days. They gathered around and asked her about the palace.


    Even if Fang Xinsu is calm and self-supporting, after many days in the palace, he suddenly returns to a familiar place and sees a group of sisters. It''s also a great joy. They gave the palace flowers, agate beads and other things they brought back one by one to all the people, and even the servant girls got a lot of money.


    The girls are there to talk about their parting, but Qingliu is not so leisurely. She went back to the di Cui Zhai and took several servant girls to clean up the house. Those palace people who follow Fang Xinsu are not easy to be entertained? Fortunately, the area of Di Cui Zhai is not small, and the rooms are not small. The original appearance of Fang Xin Su is enough. But when there are more than seven or eight people, the house is a little nervous. Fortunately, there is a Linghua hall on the left side of Di Cui Zhai. There are only three main rooms and two West rooms in it, so there is no one living there. It happens that there is a corner door on the west wall of the back room.


    After passing the Han family, he took the key to the corner door and opened the door. He cleaned the room and laid it new. He invited two mothers and several maids to live here.


    As for Aunt Mo, she lived in the West ear room of Di Cui Zhai. Light willow picked two clever little girls to serve in the past.


    After having lunch in Yuehua hospital, Fang Xinsu came back. The girls in the yard had to come around and kowtow to say hello. Fang Xinsu said with a smile "free", scattered a reward, and introduced aunt Mo and others to you, we scattered.


    Mammy Zhang has been serving her since she was a child. She hasn''t been away for such a long time since Fang Xinsu was born. Seeing her back, she can''t help but wet her eyes. "My sister is thinner, but I have to live better to make up for her."


    Light willow quickly came forward and said with a smile, "mammy must miss the county master too much, just always feel that the county master is thin and weak, I think the county master is a lot of spirit." Then she winked at mammy Zhang. She was surprised. She suddenly remembered that her daughter had been in the palace for so many days, but she said that she had been thin there. Didn''t she complain about the royal family? If someone listens to it, it will bring trouble to the girl.


    Fang Xinsu also played a circle: "in Mammy''s eyes, I have never been fat." Then he asked with a smile, "how are the rooms for the aunts


    The light willow returns a way "already tidied up."


    Fang Xinsu then said to Aunt Mo, "in this case, aunts and mammies will first recognize the house and have a rest. Light willow is my big servant girl in this courtyard. If my aunts are short of anything, just talk to her. "


    There are little girls who lead them to their own rooms. After working hard for most of the day, Fang Xinsu was also a little tired. Coral and others helped her change into home clothes, unload hairpin rings and other things, and waited on her to lie down and have a rest.


    A few people just came out of the inner room and saw a little servant girl poking her head at the door. Qingliu said to coral, "you are here to serve the county master. I''ll have a look." Then he came out and frowned and asked, "what''s the matter? What should we do if we disturb the county leader to have a rest? "


    The little girl said anxiously, "the Jinying elder sister from the palace dislikes the bad room she lives in. She''s making a lot of noise there."

 Chapter 15

    "I''ll go and have a look."


    With that, he quickly came to the Linghua hall, and saw the lady named Jinying standing in front of the door of the west chamber, quarreling with Huaping. The two mothers stood on the side and looked on coldly. They just said a few words and didn''t persuade them deeply. But another palace lady, Qi Xiu, has been trying to dissuade Jin Ying from saying, "you think this room is not good. I''ll change it with you. Why bother arguing here?"


    Jin Ying sneered, "my room is not good, your room is good? There is a musty smell. On this hot day, there is no shade. Who do you want to dry to death? "


    At this time, light willow walked forward with a smile and said, "since sister Jinying doesn''t like it here, just change another good one. It''s just that the head of the county has just laid down and it''s not good to quarrel with him. "


    Pai Ping also said wrongly, "we also advise this elder sister. Please make do with it first. When the county master wakes up, he will make plans. Who knows she should be so reluctant to let go. "


    Jin Ying said, "what do you mean I''m not going to let go? There are so many good houses in the yard just now. Why let us live in this dilapidated yard? "


    Light willow said with a smile, "it''s my negligence. I just think that you Mammy and sister are from the palace. Naturally, they live together more cordially. So I''ll clean up the yard tightly. Since Jinying sister doesn''t like it, I''ll change another one. Which room does my sister like? "


    Jin Ying glanced at her with a pair of Danfeng eyes. "Just now, I heard the county leader say that you are the big servant girl of the deacon in the yard. If you want to come, the room you live in must be the best. Are you willing to give it to me?"


    It was obvious that she was deliberately making trouble. Qingliu wanted to say "no", but she thought that the other party was a servant girl granted by the Empress Dowager. She was not easy to offend, so she said with a smile, "in that case, then..."


    Before she had finished, she was stopped by a voice, "why should she give it to you?"


    Fang Xinsu came with aunt Mo and coral. They stopped quarreling and went to see each other. Light willow up to plead guilty "is the slave is not good, work is not thoughtful, annoyed Jinying sister, quarreled with the county Lord to rest, the slave is willing to take the blame."


    Fang Xinsu said, "get up. What''s your crime? As I said, you are the Deacon servant girl in this yard. Then, everyone else will listen to you except me. If someone feels unconvinced, go back where they came from. My temple is too small to accommodate great bodhisattvas. " Then he turned and left.


    A yard of size servant girl, also followed to walk a pure light.


    Aunt Mo stayed at the end. She looked coldly at Jinying. Although Jin Ying is proud in front of them, she doesn''t dare to make mistakes in front of aunt mo. Aunt Mo is one of the confidants around the Empress Dowager. She has served the Empress Dowager for many years. It''s not that she is able to compete with a small eight grade commander.


    Seeing that Jin Ying lowered her head, aunt Mo said with a sneer, "I think you''ve really been cheated by lard. How many days have you been promoted? I forget my duty. After all, he is just a slave¡® Mei Xiang is a slave, who is more noble than whom? You look down on the original servant girls in the yard, but you never think that they are the confidants of the county leader. I really don''t know what to do. Next time, I will take care of you without the county leader''s mouth. "


    With that, she looked at the two mammies again, "you too. She''s out of tune, and you don''t know how to persuade them. I know what you''re thinking is that you will have no future after you talk to the leader of Le''an County, so you won''t work hard, or even feel dissatisfied. But don''t forget that she will be your master after you talk to the leader of Le''an county. Do you still think that if the county leader doesn''t want you, you can go back to the palace again? Think about it for yourself. "


    In the main hall of Di Cui Zhai, Fang Xin sat on the seat and said to the light willow, "you don''t have to blame yourself. It''s not that you''re not good at it, it''s just that they are deliberately picking on you. It''s just that I''m a county leader of Waiba Road, who has hindered their progress in Qingyun road. Well, next time, I''ll never let it go. " "In any case, they are all from the palace. They are all of high rank. They have to be more respectable."


    Fang Xinsu said, "no matter how good you are, you are just a slave. Can their grades be bigger than mine? Now that I''m with you, it''s my maid. Naturally, I have to obey my rules. "


    Light Liu Fang laughs a way "so, it is maidservant to think bad, always think they are from the palace, want to give more decent just good.". But I forgot that the girl is their master, and has the final say for the girl. "


    At this time, aunt Mo followed. As soon as she came in, she gave a big gift to Fang Xinsu: "the servant''s lack of discipline disturbed the county master. Please punish him."


    Fang Xinsu stroked the palace belt around his waist and said carelessly, "aunt, please get up quickly. Aunt is the confidant beside the Empress Dowager and the official of grade three. I''m just a little county leader. How can I stand such a big gift from my aunt? "


    Aunt Mo was surprised. It seemed that the leader of Le''an county was very dissatisfied with what she had just done.

 Chapter 16

    Aunt Mo is also very unjust in her heart. Before she goes out of the palace, she is called by the Empress Dowager to tell her many things carefully, so she has no time to teach them carefully. I thought that when I came to Zhongyi Marquis''s house, I would find a chance to teach these people. Unexpectedly, the girl of Jinying didn''t even have this city hall. She couldn''t restrain herself after less than an hour. I don''t know how she got to the eighth grade. Ah, if you don''t say anything else, it''s your own laziness after all.


    But this is not a good time to explain. Aunt Mo could only plead guilty again and said a lot of sincere words. Fang Xinsu turned his anger into happiness. People at the bottom were restless and had nothing to do with her. In the future, I will rely on my aunt more. " Then he ordered someone to send aunt Mo down to have a good rest.


    When Aunt Mo went away, Fang Xinsu''s eyes suddenly cooled down. She thought that since the Empress Dowager pointed out aunt Mo to her, it was natural for the master and servant to get along well. I wasted my efforts to win her over, but I didn''t care so much. It seems that she can''t point to it in the future.


    After such a commotion, Fang Xinsu lost his interest in tonifying sleep. Qingliu brings a cup of Wuyi rock tea, which is Fang Xinsu''s favorite. Fang Xinsu hears the familiar fragrance of tea, and his resentment is relieved.


    She sipped a few mouthfuls, put the cup on the table, turned her head and looked at Qingliu. "You know me best, sister Qingliu. Unfortunately, you can''t accompany me for long."


    The light willow some unnatural return way "the girl knew? My servant... "


    Fang Xinsu shook his head. "You don''t have to say more. It''s good that your family is thinking about you and willing to redeem for you. If you can be free, who is willing to stay in this four days and be imprisoned for life. I often think that if I were a man, I would like to go out and have a good time. Even if I can''t make contributions, it''s good to broaden my horizons. "


    "The girl hasn''t opened her eyes yet," she said with a smile? I heard from mother Fang that she had been to Chengde, Maozhou and other places when she was a baby. When she was a little older, she followed master Fang to the south. She passed thousands of miles. I don''t know how many prefectures and counties she had seen, and how many kinds of cultural customs she had seen. She was really knowledgeable. I''ve heard that, but I admire it very much! "


    Fang Xinsu said with some dismay, "it''s all in the past. I don''t know if I have a chance to go out of the capital again."


    Jianfangxinsu was depressed, and Qingliu said with a smile, "by the way, the pots of camellia that the girl told her maidservant to take care of before she left have already sprouted. Would you like to have a look?"


    Smell speech, Fang Xin Su Yi Xi "really? Where is it? "


    While talking, he followed light willow to the East ear room. Fang Xinsu looked over and saw that before she left, there were still some withered pots of flowers. Now they are full of vitality, and two or three pots have been full of longan buds.


    Fang Xinsu was full of joy after seeing it. After she followed her father to the south, she fell in love with camellia, and several huge camellia trees were planted in her yard. When she returned to Beijing, she didn''t want to bring these things. Her younger brother knew that she liked camellia, so she ordered someone to bring 20 excellent camellia. It''s just that the camellia is very delicate. Most of the 20 Camellia have been damaged all the way. When they come back, there are only six or seven camellia, all of which are dying. She didn''t have much hope, so she said casually to take good care of her. Unexpectedly, now, these Camellia are alive.


    She asked with a smile, "I didn''t expect that you would grow flowers. Good sister, tell me quickly, what else can''t you do? "


    Qingliu said, "girl, I''m flattered. My maidservant just learned something from the gardener in the house when I was young."


    On one side of the screen, she said, "I don''t know. Sister Qingliu used to grow flowers and plants when she was in Yuehua hospital. She also helped the eldest lady grow green chrysanthemums which were very difficult to grow. The hydrangea tree in Yuehua courtyard was sent by the Marquis from Fuzhou. It was dying when it was sent. Thanks to sister Qingliu''s careful care, it survived. "


    Light willow pursed a smile "OK, how many years of old, also worth to take out to say." Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "how can I know if she doesn''t say it? I didn''t know you knew this before. I also brought a lot of flower seeds, which are all there. You should have known that you could grow flowers, and you should have taken care of them early. "


    Then he hurriedly called for someone to look for him. He was stopped by light willow. Light willow said with a smile, "it''s not the maid''s prevarication, but I don''t know what kind of flower seed the girl brought. This is not a good time to plant flowers. "


    Fang Xinsu patted his head and said, "I forgot this. Planting flowers should be the best in spring." Then he went to see the flowering camellia. Several servant girls looked at each other, and they all gathered around her with tacit understanding. After a while, Fang Xinsu put aside his bad thoughts.


    After staying in the palace for a few days, Fang Xinsu didn''t calm down to practice calligraphy and painting. This time, he looked at the newly sprouted camellia, and immediately became interested and said he wanted to draw. Coral and others are busy taking out all the tools and putting them on the table, and fangxinsu draws there. After a while, she drew a white camellia in full bloom quietly. At the same time, Mammy Zhang came in with a burden. When she saw the painting, she said with a smile, "the girl''s painting is getting more and more beneficial. It''s just a lonely branch like this. After all, it''s a little thinner and two more branches are added to make it lively."


    If as usual, listen to this, Fang Xinsu smile on the past, said not to follow mammy Zhang''s words to make up a few. But she was not happy today. She felt that mother Zhang, who had always been close to her, had become disgusted. She said, "do I have to be choosed when I draw a picture? If you want to be lively, just draw peony. What''s the purpose of painting laoshizi Camellia? " Then he picked up the paper to tear it off and was stopped by the willows and corals.


    Light willow hugged Fang Xinsu''s arm and said, "girl, calm down, what do you want to draw? Mammy only likes it, which means to be choosy. Mammy is just a joke. Don''t take it to heart Fang Xinsu stamped his foot, but he was still reluctant.


    Light willow also don''t know always steady square heart element this is how to return a responsibility, how come back from the palace so moody. Can only smile to comfort "mother Zhang has been waiting on you for more than ten years, who is she you still don''t know? She naturally put you on the top of her heart. Knowing that you like camellia and are afraid that these pots of flowers will not survive, she ordered us to make you a dress embroidered with white camellia


    Then she looked at the burden in Mammy Zhang''s hand. "It should be what mammy is holding. Come on, show it to our girl."

 Chapter 17

    Mother Zhang was a little surprised that Fang Xinsu had ever had such a small temper in the past. Now see light willow to make her eyes, quickly endure the tears in the eyes, smile to open the burden, "girl, look at this dress, don''t you like it? If not, I''ll do it for the girl


    I saw two or three blooming white camellia and several dark green leaves embroidered on the skirt of the light blue shirt. In this hot summer, I feel pure and elegant. As soon as Fang Xinsu had a look, he knew that the dress had been made with great effort. As soon as the embroidery worker saw it, he knew that it was mammy Zhang''s craft. She didn''t know how sad she was when she thought of spilling all her unhappiness on mammy just now. Therefore, some of them said, "mammy is old. It''s tiring to do this kind of work. I''m not allowed to do it in the future."


    Mammy Zhang said with a smile, "as long as the girl doesn''t dislike me, no matter how much I do, I won''t feel tired. Girl, do you want to try? "


    Fang Xinsu nodded, and several servant girls rushed to the inner room to replace her. Her skin is white and tender, and her figure is curly, which makes her look more elegant. Fang Xinsu said, "I haven''t seen this style before. It''s a new fashion in Beijing?"


    Coral replied with a smile, "it''s the way sister Qingliu thought of it. She said that the girl must look good in it. It''s not really beautiful!"


    Fang Xinsu nodded, "Qingliu''s mind is dexterous, you all learn more."


    Just joking, Shen Tian brought two girls to come. Fang Xinsu quickly got up and put her on the seat. "Big sister is coming, sit down quickly." Then he said to Qingliu, "I remember my elder sister''s favorite drink is melon slices. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager gave me two boxes of superior Lu''an tea. You can find one for her."


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "don''t worry. Two days ago, Chuang Tzu sent this year''s fresh lotus root, walnuts and other things. I asked them to make walnut dew and two kinds of snacks. They tasted good. I brought some for you."


    Then the ink painting put the small basket on the table, opened it, and took out the green pastel flower and bird covered bowl and two white porcelain dishes. Inside the cover bowl is what Shen Tian said about the dew of walnuts, while the two plates are filled with sweet scented osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour cake and rock sugar glutinous rice lotus root slices. There are only four or five pieces in the big dish, but they are exquisite. Fang Xinsu can''t help but say, "my cousin just happened to be here. I just feel a little hungry."


    With that, he tasted one piece of each. After tasting, he said, "it''s just glutinous rice and lotus root slices. This chestnut flour cake is very good. It''s powdery and delicious." Then he ate two pieces of chestnut flour cake, drank most of the bowl of walnut dew, nodded and said, "this peach blossom dew is also good. It tastes very sweet. It''s very kind of you, cousin


    Shen Tian covered his mouth with a smile and said, "you, don''t thank me in a hurry. I''m here today, but I have something to ask you. "


    Fang Xinsu opened his eyes wide and said, "what''s the matter?"


    Shen Tian said, "my mother gave me a shop in her private room. Just as the previous lease expired, the room was empty. I don''t want to rent out any more. I''ll do something by myself. I don''t want to earn much money, but I can understand the market and the world. My mother has been in a hurry recently. I thought, "you are used to this, so I came here to learn from you."


    Fang Xinsu nodded, "well, although women like us don''t have to go out and make a public appearance, they will always be directors in the future. If they don''t know anything, they can''t let the following managers deceive them? When I was a housekeeper in jinzhouchu, I met many moths. At that time, my father taught me carefully, and my younger brother was willing to help me. Otherwise, I might have made a lot of jokes. Elder sister, what are you going to do with the shop? "


    Instead of answering, Shen Tian pointed to Fang Xinsu''s clothes and said, "the style of the clothes is very unique. The camellia embroidery is also exquisite. Did you bring it back from the palace?"


    Fang Xinsu shook his head. "The palace clothes are magnificent. How can there be such elegant clothes? It''s made for me by mammy Zhang. The style of the dress is thought by Liu Qingliu. "¡° It''s really good-looking, so you can wear a plain color. By the way, this material is also brought by you. The material of my skirt is made of the same material, or those you gave me. You don''t sell many of these satins in the capital, "Shen Tian said, stroking the Liuxian skirt she was wearing.


    Fang Xinsu changed her mind. "Does my sister want to do this silk business? It''s a long-term business, but does my sister have any supply? "


    Shen Tian nodded, "our family''s ancestral home is in Jinling. Now there are many people there. The south of the Yangtze River is rich in silk. There are several people in our family who do this business. Another cousin of my uncle''s family followed her husband to the middle of Shu, where Shu Brocade is also famous. I didn''t expect to do much, it''s just to earn money. There are two or three kinds of precious silk, and some ordinary fabrics will do


    Fang Xinsu nodded, "it seems that my cousin has a plan in mind. Since everything is appropriate, why don''t you try?"


    "Then try." Although she had a plan in her heart for a long time, it was the first time for Shen Tian to do something on her own. She was a little worried. Now it''s just this man talking to relieve her tension, but she didn''t really want others to help her make up her mind.


    The two sisters said something else, and Fang Xinsu invited Shen Tian to watch her camellia. Shen Tian also praised that "the camellia are really blooming."


    The servant girl offered the Lu''an Guapian that Fang Xinsu said just now. Shen Tian sipped it. "It''s really good tea. It''s fresh and fragrant."


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "since my sister likes it, I''ll take a can with me when I leave. I don''t drink that much anyway. "


    Knowing that Fang Xinsu has been drinking tea, Shen Tian said with a smile, "your taste is similar to that of your mother. My mother also likes to drink tea."


    The two sisters said something for a long time. Until the sun set, they cleaned up together and went to Yuehua courtyard to greet Han.

 Chapter 18

    On this day, Qingliu was pointing out a few pots of newly blooming camellia to Fang Xinsu, "Xu Shi, the flower is also spiritual. I always look at us, who are mediocre and vulgar. I have only opened two or three pots after taking care of them carefully for so long. It''s only a few days since the girl came back that the flower can''t wait to open when she sees the girl''s Zhong lingyuxiu."


    Fang Xinsu angrily glanced at her, "sister Qingliu, you are not like coral. You are so glib. It''s not like you."


    Coral in the side of the "girl, you used to praise the maid''s clever, now how has become a glib, the maid can be sad."


    One side of the Jin Ying saw such a scene, can''t help but secretly belly Fei this Le''an county head so how a bit of a lady''s appearance? In front of the empress dowager, she was not so naughty. I don''t know if the Empress Dowager would hurt her like that if she saw her side.


    After a while, Feixu came over with a smile and said to Qingliu, "good sister, your brother has won the entrance examination of a scholar, and will come to meet you with your mother."


    Light willow still some can''t believe, but Fang Xinsu smile pushed her a "but happy silly, this is a big happy thing, go to see family."


    Light willow uneasy came to Yuehua courtyard side hall, originally in the heart some uneasy, she waited to see Lin Du Shi and Lin Enron, haven''t opened her mouth, was Lin Du Shi a pull to the arms, cry out. Light willow a while also taut not to live, then cry bitterly.


    Although it''s a pity that one of the stewardesses she has worked hard to cultivate is gone like this, Mrs. Shen sees that Lin Enron has something to talk about and has become a scholar at a young age. What''s more important is her noble character, so she may not be able to do something in the future. In this case, it''s better to sell them one. On the other hand, Qingliu has been with her for so many years. From a chignon girl to today''s big servant girl, there is a deep feeling between master and servant. Now she has a good place, and Mrs. Shen is only happy.


    So Mrs. Shen agreed to Lin Enron long ago, but she didn''t accept any money for ransom. Just let them go back and pick them up later. Even if she wants to leave, she can''t be in a hurry. She has to pack up her things and say goodbye to everyone. What matters is that we should go to the Yamen to change the registered residence into a civilian.


    Mrs. Shen sent the housekeeper to do the work in person, and returned the new registered residence of Liu Liu on the second day. From now on, Qingliu is no longer the servant girl of the Shen family. She is Lin Youran, a girl of the Lin family in Tongzhou. She calls her name back. But all the people in the Shen family are used to calling her Qingliu, so they still call her that.


    Now that I''m not a servant girl, I don''t have to do the work of serving others. Mrs. Shen sent a second-class servant girl, Bauhinia, to take the place of leisurely.


    Bauhinia used to be a second-class servant girl. When she came here, she was a first-class servant girl with the string sound beside Fang Xinsu. Leisurely and carefully hand over the affairs at hand to them one by one.


    On this day, leisurely is taking them to check Fang Xinsu''s personal belongings. Mrs. Shen asks someone to call leisurely. Mrs. Shen not only asked her to take away all the rewards she got in recent years, but also gave her 50 mu of land, a 200 Liang silver note and some cloth and jewelry on the edge of Baishan town.


    Leisurely didn''t expect that Mrs. Shen would give her so many things, so she refused. Mrs. Shen said, "you don''t have to shirk any more. Of course, if you hadn''t saved Cheng Ge''er, now I don''t know what it would be like. When you were young, you didn''t get any good things. You grew up with me all these years, like half a daughter of mine. Now that your younger brother has become a talent and is willing to pick you up, it''s hard work for you. If you come back to me after you''ve been wronged, I''ll decide for you. " Then he said euphemistically, "the big maid in our house can''t be compared with other gentry''s ladies in terms of wealth after she goes out. It''s good to have your own things. Even if you want to help your family, you have to leave a way back for yourself. "


    If she didn''t treat each other sincerely, Mrs. Shen wouldn''t have said such a thing. She answered with tears in her eyes.


    Mrs. Shen took out another box and said, "I heard that you are going to leave. My sister-in-law also asked someone to send me a box of things. You can put them away together." Because she is still living in the di Cui Zhai, then she called two old women to help her deliver the things to the di Cui Zhai.


    After returning, leisurely opened the brocade box given by Mrs. Han, and found that there were two fifty-two silver tickets, two pairs of solid red gold bracelets and four pairs of gold and silver rings in it. Although the bracelet is not exquisite, each bracelet has four or two pairs, and the two pairs are worth a lot.


    When other masters heard about it, they were all happy for her and gave her things.


    The eldest girl Shen Tian sent her servant girl Qinghe to send some gold and silver jewelry and some cloth. When Qinghe came to leisurely room, he saw that everyone else had gone. He took out a hairpin from the jewelry. Leisurely, I can see that the carving of the hairpin is not outstanding. Although the hairpin head is inlaid with a piece of jade, it looks a bit clumsy on the whole. Miss Shen''s clothes are always exquisite. Such hairpins don''t look like things that Miss Shen can use. Even if the Shen family is a little respectable, the third class servant girl may not like this hairpin. She can''t help but be a little strange.


    Qinghe gave her a smile, twisted the jade bottom of the hairpin, and the hairpin fell off. The hairpin is hollow, and there is a fifty Liang silver note in it.


    Qinghe said, "Miss, I don''t know when I''ll see you again when you''re going. It''s also a dream when you put it away. Come back and walk around more when you have time. If you have any trouble, just come back and talk. Don''t leave, you won''t come back. "


    Leisurely smile nodded, "I''m afraid you think I come back many times in the future, thank you for me, big girl." I''m really worthy of being a mother and daughter. I''m afraid she will suffer losses when she goes back. But Mrs. Shen and others thought more, but leisurely knew that they were thinking for their own sake. After all, leisurely and his family have not seen each other for so many years.


    But even if they have ulterior motives, they will not let go of the chance to become civilians. After all, she is the soul of modern people. She is still worried about her maidservant status.


    Leisurely looking up at the sky, Shen Fu''s tall wall blocked her sight, she could only see the small sky above the yard. But outside, there was a wider sky, and the freedom she had been longing for.

 Chapter 19

    Knowing that she was going to leave, Fang Xinsu was still reluctant. The servant girl she had seen since she was a child was unknown, but it was rare for her to be as smart and responsible as leisurely. She always mentioned her without any trace. The master and servant got along very well.


    It''s said that the Lin family is not in a good situation. Fang Xinsu is worried that she will not be able to bear the pain when she goes back. But when she sees the different look flowing in her indifferent eyes, Fang Xinsu also understands her desire to return home. So she had to let Xianyin pick up a lot of things and give them to her.


    On this day, when there were only two people, Fang Xinsu suddenly asked, "I heard that you sold yourself. If your parents sold you, would you hate them?"


    Leisurely was a little surprised at why Fang Xinsu asked such a question, but seeing Fang Xinsu''s big black and white eyes staring at her, leisurely sighed, "I''m not sure, it depends on what the situation is. If it''s really about life and death, there''s no way. If they only want money, I will not forgive them


    Fang Xinsu then asked, "why do you say that a person puts his own children in other people''s homes since childhood?"


    Leisurely back to the way "but the family is not good, more children really can not afford to raise?"


    Fang Xinsu shook his head. "Although there are many children in that family, that person is both rich and powerful."


    It''s like something about a rich family. Leisurely intuition that this is related to Fang Xinsu''s entering the palace, she thought for a while, frowned and said, "since it''s not about money, there must be something in the middle. The higher the family is, the more dirty things there are. A little carelessness is a matter of life. Sometimes it''s not necessarily unfortunate to be far away. According to me, no matter what the truth is, no matter when and where, it''s reasonable to live well. "


    "You''re right, too." Fang Xinsu muttered to himself, sitting there thinking.


    Although we have only been together for more than two months, Fang Xinsu has seen that leisurely is a book lover, and she likes reading miscellaneous books as much as she does. So she packed most of the county annals, travel notes and historical books she had read in the past into a large box, as well as some special products she had brought from the south. Leisurely waiting to refuse, but Fang Xinsu pointed out to her that most of them were books, so leisurely Fang told her to accept them. These books are the best way to understand the world, and she is reluctant to refuse them.


    Listening to Xianyin, they say that Fang Xinsu''s birthday is in September. She has nothing to offer, so she decides to embroider a Kang screen and give it to Miss Fang as a birthday present.


    Shen Ying and Shen Xiang also sent their servant girls to send some jewelry and other things, and the third and fourth young masters of the outer courtyard also sent people to send some four treasures of the study as souvenirs. Shen Lian also sent a pair of red gold bracelets and some gold and silver ornaments to her servant girl, saying that she wanted to leave a message.


    Only the young master Shen Cang has not been moving, leisurely also did not put on the heart.


    In addition to the masters, other little sisters also have gifts, or purse handkerchief or hairpin cloth, but also have a burden.


    Now that she is ready to leave, Fang Xinsu will no longer make her on duty. That night, the redbud in her room went to fangxinsu''s room to watch the night. After seeing off the little sister who came to visit her, she locked the door and began to check her things.


    Although it''s not a short time, leisurely has been thinking of adapting to the ancient life as soon as possible. There are so many things to do every day, and he hasn''t counted the things he has saved.


    The original owner had been in Shen''s house for many years, but he didn''t save anything in the first two or three years as a servant girl. Later, when I got to Mrs. Shen''s side, it started to be 500 yuan a month, and then it went up to one or two silver. However, Yueju is only the small head of leisurely property, and the big head is a variety of rewards from the masters. When she saved the young master of the Han family, Mrs. Shen said that she didn''t give anything valuable, but at that time, Qingliu also got two ten Liang gold ingots and a bag full of golden melon seeds. Leisurely took out the key to put valuables in a camphor wood small box to open, inside big and small boxes have more than ten. The biggest one is a deep red dressing box inlaid with mother of pearl. When it is opened, there are two layers inside. On the top layer are several gold bracelets inlaid with gems and some gold rings, and on the bottom layer are a pair of small Phoenix hairpins inlaid with red jewels. These precious jewels were given by Mrs. Shen and her eldest daughter on her birthday in recent years.


    In one of the brocade boxes carved with peony patterns, there is a set of red gold and silk jewelry inlaid with ruby, which is the most precious. This set of jewelry includes a pair of hairpins, a pair of hairpins, a pair of bracelets, a pair of earrings and a pair of rings. All of them are inlaid with ruby the size of lotus seed. The ruby is clear and transparent, which is of great value at a glance. Last year, when she was 15 years old, she was a servant girl, so she didn''t need hairpin ceremony, so Mrs. Shen gave her this set of jewelry. It''s just that she hasn''t been willing to wear it. She put it there to press the bottom of the box.


    Other boxes are mostly all kinds of jewelry, such as butterfly hairpin inlaid with gold, burnt blue inlaid with gold, pearl inlaid with silver hairpin, Jasper Tenghua jade pendant, all kinds of cloisonne red coral earrings, gold inlaid with silver and silk bracelets. Leisurely is also an eye opener when he first came here. Who said ancient times were underdeveloped? Look at the craftsmanship of this golden silk. It''s superb. It''s all hand-made. In modern times, you can''t afford to pay for it just by hand.


    There is also a box full of golden melon seeds and golden lotus seeds, and a purse with some silver coins and copper coins. Most of the silver coins and ingots she got were changed into banknotes, about two hundred taels. With the banknotes given to her by Mrs. Shen and the eldest girl today, she had nearly five hundred taels of banknotes alone. She put the money ticket in the pocket of her dress. Because the quality of the gold in the house was good, the original owner was not willing to change it into gold tickets, but saved it. Usually I spend more copper money and silver in the mansion. The gold doesn''t move. If I change it into silver, it will be worth seven or eight hundred Liang.


    Next, Qingliu looked at several boxes of clothes and cloth, including fancy satin, Hualuo, Yunjin, Kesi, hangsi, etc. There are also some fur coats, fur clothes and so on, which are not much worse than the clothes on TV dramas I saw in previous lives. You have to have six or seven hundred taels of silver to change these clothes and fabrics.


    There are other miscellaneous things, all spread out, even spread a full Kang. Before the light willow crossed over, the original owner had been a second-class servant girl, and there were many rewards on weekdays, but it could not be compared with the big servant girl in charge. After becoming a big servant girl, in addition to the rewards from the master of the Shen family, every new year''s day, when leisurely helps the eldest lady to come and go, the rewards from all the ladies are very generous. After all, such a royal family as the Shen family, most of them come and go with famous families, including princesses and princesses. These people are very generous. Roughly estimated, after leisurely crossing over, it only took more than two years to save one or two thousand silver. No wonder in the dream of Red Mansions, a Qingwen who was expelled could save hundreds of gold.

 Chapter 20

    Although there are a lot of gold and silver, what leisurely likes most is the box given by Miss Fang. In addition to books, there are also several chess and picture books, which are not necessarily able to be bought by leisurely money. Gold and silver are good, but in case of any natural or man-made disasters, they may disappear overnight. But knowledge will never disappear as long as it is kept in mind.


    After packing up these things, leisurely find out some of the previously embroidered purses, each of which contains some small items, ready to give them to you little sisters. There are also some small clothes and some cloth, which can also be given to the little maid.


    The next two days, leisurely visit around, and the house''s master, sisters, and offer some of their own sewing and other things.


    Leiran has always been generous and kind to others. Knowing that she is going to leave, many people are reluctant to part with her. They can''t help crying a few times.


    Feixu discusses with Qinghe and others that he wants to collect money to set a table for leisurely practice. This matter is known by Shen Tian sisters, so the girls follow suit.


    Shen Tian asked Qinghe, "what are you going to do?"


    Qinghe said with a smile, "the maidservants have collected five liang of silver to come out. They want to get a good meal from the big kitchen, and then put on two jars of fruit wine."


    Shen Tian shook his head and said, "what''s the fun for you guys? Let''s do it together. Since Qingliu has been here for so many years, everyone can''t bear her. It doesn''t matter if the banquet is bigger. Well, Chuang Tzu has just sent some fresh fruits and vegetables. I''ll ask them to send some. Let''s have a taste. I''ll take another five taels of silver and let the kitchen cook more dishes. "


    Shen Xiang is a lively "that is, how can such a good thing put us aside? I don''t think it''s necessary to put some tables in the house. Just put some tables in the listening rain Pavilion on the edge of the lotus pond behind. Let''s have some masters and girls in the yard come and make a good noise. Sister Qingliu is the only one."


    They are all teenagers, and they have a lively mind. Even Shen Ying, who has always been warm, said with a smile, "of course, I can''t let my elder sister do it alone. My Chunyan is good at making snacks. Then I''ll let her make some unique snacks. Besides, I''ll give you another two liang of silver. "


    So Shen Lian also took two liang of silver out, Fang Xinsu and Shen Xiang are not bad money, both out of five liang of silver.


    The woman in charge of the kitchen received the money, and some of them couldn''t laugh or cry. "Just say what the girls want to eat and drink. How can they ask for so much money?"


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "mammies work hard on weekdays. Since we have to have a banquet, it''s not easy to use the usual example. Mammy collected the silver and just picked up the good things to make."


    Fang Xinsu echoed: "this silver is not for nothing. Mom has to give us something new and unique. Don''t fool us with some ordinary things. I''m not as kind as you girls. If you fool me, I won''t do it. "


    The old woman was terrified and said, "even if I give the old slave ten courage, I dare not fool the county master. The county master and the girls just rest assured that the old slave will do it right."


    Shen Tian waved his hand, and the woman went down with the silver.


    At this time, Weiyu came with two women. After saluting, she said, "there are people in the palace. The Empress Dowager has sent some things to the county leader. The maid has already sent them to the di Cui Zhai."


    After hearing this, they all admired her. She didn''t know how to get into the eyes of the Empress Dowager. Even if she came back, she would still give something from time to time, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.


    It''s no exaggeration to say that even the less favored Princess may not have this dignity in front of the Empress Dowager. If not for Fang Xinsu, he would have been drowned by all kinds of posts. When Fang Xinsu went back, Mammy Zhang showed her a basket of fresh lychees, a basket of fresh longan and a basket of luozidai from Persia.


    Qingliu took the opportunity to take a close look at the legendary Luozi Dai. Thanks to the well-known gongdou drama in previous generations, Qingliu has heard about Luozi Dai for a long time, but has never seen the real object. From the outside, in fact, the things on the inside are more exquisite packaging than those on a certain treasure. No matter how much gold and silver jewelry is inlaid on the packaging, the eyebrow pencil is wrapped inside.


    When Fang Xinsu saw the litchi and longan, he said, "I haven''t eaten this for a long time." The early witty Bauhinia has been cut open and handed to her. Fang Xinsu tasted it and said, "it''s still fresh. It''s just that. It''s not easy to divide. Each of them picked out a dish to send to brother Jane. He also likes it. Leave some ice for tomorrow''s dinner, and send the rest to my aunt and old lady. "


    Turning to see that all the people from Jinying''s palace were standing far away, she said, "old lady, it''s the elder. Let Jinying send it to you in person."


    Jin Ying is very reluctant in the heart. At least she is from the palace. What does the net do with these errands? But seeing that the Empress Dowager sends people to send things from time to time, we know that the leader of Le''an county is in favor of the Empress Dowager. At the moment, he can''t offend himself. Therefore, they obediently with a little girl holding things to go.


    There are sixteen of them. Fangxinsu doesn''t like heavy make-up. These things are rarely used, so he said, "I don''t know how long this box will last? Give it to the sisters. " Then, have servant girl to take orders to go. Except Shen Tian, Shen Xiang, Shen Ying and others got two.


    Other people just pour, only Caijuan, Shen Xiang''s girl, said angrily, "I heard that cousin gave the eldest girl four, but our girl is also her own daughter. Why did she only get two, just like Ying?"


    "Shut up Before he had finished, Shen Xiang stopped him. "Can you arrange the master''s affairs? Not yet. "


    See oneself master son is not toward oneself, the color cuckoo had to sadly shut up.


    After Caijuan went out, Shen Xiang turned her head and looked at her mother Chen''s "mother, I think Caijuan''s elder sister is getting older and her heart is getting bigger. After all, it''s my love here for many years. Now that my mother is not here, I''ll ask Mammy to find a family for her and let her go out. "


    Mother Chen advised, "girl, why is this necessary? The color cuckoo is just a careless mistake. How can it be good to drive out like this? "


    "She didn''t say that once or twice. In the long run, I''ll take it seriously. At that time, if it''s really dirty with my elder sister and cousin, what good is it for me? Why did I get sick at the beginning? Is it not clear to mammy? "


    Mammy Chen was shocked, "girl..."

 Chapter 21

    Shen Xiang waved his hand. "You don''t have to explain. We just know each other. Since my mother left me in Houfu with her consideration, it''s only a bad thing to stay in front of me like Caijuan. My father''s term of office is about to expire. The elder brother of my great aunt is the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs. If my father is promoted or flat, it''s all in the hands of others. How can I say that I''m aggrieved? Let''s arrange it as soon as possible. "


    Mammy Chen bowed and agreed. Looking at the thin figure in front of her, she felt awed for the first time. The girl looked at Han eating and playing everyday, but she didn''t expect that her mind was so meticulous. I''ve been so smart and patient since I was young. After a few years, I''m afraid I''m no worse than the older girl?


    Seeing that her master had a clear idea, mother Chen immediately set out to do the work of Caijuan. Fortunately, Caijuan''s Laozi mother is still in Beijing. She went to Caijuan''s house quietly. In the afternoon, Caijuan''s Laozi''s mother came to see Shen Xiang. She said that she had made a marriage for Caijuan and asked the girl for mercy to let Caijuan out.


    Shen Xiang said with a smile, "since it''s a happy event, I can''t stop it. It''s just that we''ve agreed to have a banquet in the back garden tomorrow, so we''d better let Caijuan go back after tomorrow. On my side, I have to prepare something for her


    Caijuan''s mother agreed and went with great gratitude. Others don''t know, although some wonder how the color cuckoo so quietly decided to kiss. But Caijuan is 18 years old, and it''s time to go out. Besides, I heard that her fiance was a young steward in the second lady''s shop. When I heard that she was young and promising, they all teased her one after another.


    Even though Caijuan was very unhappy, she didn''t dare to show her face when she was taught by mother Chen and her mother. She just hid her face and went back to her room. Everyone thought she was shy and didn''t take it to heart.


    At this time, Shen Xiang said to mammy Chen, "sister Caijuan has been serving me for many years, and I can''t bear to see her go. In addition to her private house, it''s also my intention to choose some good gold and silver jewelry and silk fabrics, and give her fifty Liang silver. "


    After listening to this, Mammy Chen went to get something. She wanted to send it to Caijuan directly. Thinking that the girl is not softer than she used to be, she took things to Shen Xiang again.


    Shen Xiang saw that mammy Chen had prepared a pair of gold bracelets with Ruyi pattern, a pair of gold hairpins with Ruyi pattern and a pair of earrings, as well as a pair of brocade with Dahong and Haitang red.


    "It''s too thin." Seeing this, Shen Xiang shook his head and said. From her dowry, she added a pair of red gold flowers and pearls, a pair of magpie gold hairpins, a pair of silver silk bracelets, a pair of red gold rings with pearls, and two pieces of fashionable cloth. Then she pointed to the pair of pink pearl vases on the table and said, "she always likes the peach pattern on the vase. Give her the vase, too."


    Mammy Chen hesitated and said, "girl, are there too many of these? There was no such case in the past. How could it be good to have a girl come out of the cabinet after opening this door? "


    Shen Xiang said, "not much. Only Caijuan has been with me since childhood. She has been with me for ten years, longer than my mother. If there is any noise, just let them come to me. "


    After hearing this, mother Chen had to promise to go.


    Caijuan was very aggrieved in her heart. She was all for the sake of the girl, but she didn''t expect the girl to let her out. It''s just that Laozi''s mother and Chen''s mother enlightened her in turn. She also knew that she was wrong, but she just couldn''t show her face.


    When I see mammy Chen with a little girl holding so many things to her, this meeting, the girl in the face is to give all. Caijuan can''t help but run to Shen Xiang to thank her. The master and servant hold their heads and cry bitterly. This matter has been turned over like this.


    The next day it was sunny and sunny. In the morning, Shen Tian sent someone to clean up the Tingyu Pavilion. First clean up, put down the bamboo curtain, and then order wormwood smoked several times. It''s cool enough by the water, but there are more mosquitoes. The little girl has put several incense ovens to smoke mosquitoes inside and outside. Another one from the teahouse came and lit the stove to boil water, ready to make tea for a while. Because Fang Xinsu was still in the period of filial piety, he did not arrange to play wine. A few girls naturally sat together, and the rest of the friends, such as Feixu and Weiyu, also came. Han knew that they were going to set a table for Qingliu to practice today, so he generously let them go, "you sisters always make friends, it''s good to talk together. I also want to go in my heart. I''m just afraid that if I go, you''ll make me uncomfortable. You can all go. It''s also my intention to offer more wine to Qingliu for me. "


    As a result, the maid in the Yuehua courtyard suddenly became less than half. It happens that there is an old lady in the Shen family today. In fact, she has a normal friendship. But the man was Han''s elder. He sent someone to invite him several times, but Han couldn''t resist, so he had to go. Fortunately, because it was a family dinner, it was enough for her to take mammy Qi and some little girls.


    The lotus in the lotus pool is just in full bloom. The pink lotus and the blue lotus leaves are very clear from afar. The girls and the big maids were about the same age. They were chatting together.


    In addition to light willow, colorful cuckoo is also the object of people''s jokes today. Light willow just go home, but she is even married, so people can''t spare her. Although he only drank some fruit wine, he couldn''t stand it. He was poured so hard that his cheeks turned red.


    Although it''s not easy to deal with the group of people from the palace, it''s not easy to leave them on such occasions. Aunt Mo saw all the young girls coming, but mammy Zhang didn''t show up, so she refused to come. Light willow sent a table of noodles in the past, then also invited Jinying and Xiuluo to come to the table.


    It''s necessary to pick up some fresh fruits to send to Han. Fang Xinsu doesn''t want to see Jin Ying''s face, and deliberately assigns her to send things to Fang Xinjian in the front yard.


    Jin Ying went back after sending things, but she was still not satisfied. The leader of Le''an County really didn''t pay attention to herself any more. She let herself run errands all day, and she had never been forced to do so when she was in the cining palace. It''s just a little girl of the huomingpai. It''s really arrogant.


    When we came to the Tonghua gate, there was a loud noise in front of us. She wondered who was so unruly? After walking a few steps, I found that three or four gorgeous ladies and a group of servants were chatting with some women in the house.


    Jin Ying fixed her eyes on her. Isn''t that Princess Lezhen? When she was in CI Ning palace, Jin Ying heard that Princess Le Zhen and the leader of Le''an county were not very good at dealing with each other.


    Today, Princess Lezhen came here in such a fierce manner. Did she come to the head of Le''an County for trouble?

 Chapter 22

    Thinking of all her cold treatment in recent days, Jin Ying thinks that with the favor of the leader of Le''an County, can the Empress Dowager still surpass the granddaughter of Princess Lezhen? Princess Lezhen has always been favored by the Empress Dowager and the emperor. Besides, she also has a mother, Wei Shufei, and the prince''s elder brother, who are favored by the emperor.


    Jin Ying thought about it in her heart, and then she went forward to say "hello to Princess Lezhen, Princess thousands of years old!"


    Princess Lezhen has shown her identity several times. She thought that the servants in the house would open the door immediately when they heard that the princess arrived.


    Who would have thought that these people didn''t believe her at all, and only said, "I''ve never met a noble person who came to the door without putting up an instrument, not to mention the princess. We slaves have to report to the master before the masters can come out to welcome us." Leng is not to let them in.


    For fear of making a big noise, Lezhen startled Mrs. Hou. Han''s second brother was married to Princess Jinghua, the first sister of her aunt and father. If you let Han know, she came out to stop, he will not find Le''an trouble.


    These servants are useless at all. They haven''t been able to enter the second gate after pestering for a long time.


    Lezhen is worried. Suddenly she hears someone saying hello to her. When she looks back, the girl looking at her looks familiar. So he asked, "are you also a servant girl in this house? How do you know this palace? "


    Jinying respectfully replied, "princess, the maid was originally in the palace of CI Ning to serve the Empress Dowager. A few days ago, she was assigned to the leader of Le''an county."


    "No wonder you look familiar. It turned out that you used to be around the emperor''s grandmother." As soon as she heard that Jinying was from the CI Ning palace, she changed her tone and said, "since the emperor''s grandmother sent you to Le''an, why don''t you wait around and come to the outer courtyard instead?"


    Jin Ying replied, "if you are the master of Feng Le''an County, you should go to the front yard to send things to master Fang."


    Jinying''s tone is full of resentment. Of course, Lezhen can hear it, but it doesn''t prevent her from adding fuel to the fire. "Tut Tut, look at our Le''an county leader''s extravagance. The big maid from the CI Ning palace is our sister who is also friendly to each other. She turns out to be a little girl running errands here."


    A noble girl on the side echoed, "that is, I don''t know if there is still our empress dowager, Princess and the head of Le''an County in her eyes. We can''t do it."


    "Yes, the princess has to think about the face of the royal family."


    Le Zhen, who was worried that she couldn''t find an excuse, sneered and said, "I''m the Queen Mother''s granddaughter. How can I tolerate an outsider''s face like this? Come on, let''s go and meet the head of Le''an county. I''d like to ask if she still has a grandmother in her eyes. "


    After that, she has to rush in again. The gatekeeper is mammy Yu, who is second only to mammy Qi in the inner courtyard. She wants to stop her, but Jin Ying pushes her away. "Mammy, you can see clearly. This is princess Lezhen in front of you. Don''t say it''s you, or your wife is coming. Do you think she dares to stop the princess? "


    Mammy Yu was stunned by her Kung Fu, and was pushed away by the entourage brought by Princess Lezhen. Then the group of people entered the Chuihua door.


    Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Mammy Yu took the old women along the path to the garden to ventilate the girls. Just now, a boy has gone to report to his wife. I hope she will come back earlier.


    Lezhen took people to walk in and asked, "what is the girl doing?"


    Jin Ying said, "the servant girl beside the county master has redeemed herself. The county master has put a banquet in the back garden for the servant girl to practice."


    "Dinner? Hum, I remember that girl with filial piety, even drinking in filial piety, it''s really disloyal After listening to this, Lezhen is more proud in her heart. How can you sophistry when I arrest you? Filial piety in drinking, is the emperor''s grandmother know will not like it?


    She takes the followers to follow Jin Ying to listen to the rain Pavilion. Just as she wants to question loudly, the scene in front of her makes her swallow what she says.


    What about the banquet? What about drinking and having fun?


    In front of listening to the music, there was a large book case in the corridor, on which was spread a six foot long silk paper, with dense pictures all over the garden. All the girls in Shen''s mansion, including Fang Xinsu, are painting with their own pen. Even the servant girls who are waiting beside them are watching quietly, as if they are not aware of the arrival of Le Zhen.


    Until Le Zhen couldn''t help it, she said, "you are so elegant!"


    People seem to find out that Lezhen''s coming, so they quickly come forward to meet her and say "thousand years old".


    Lezhen didn''t shout, and all the people could only continue to kneel on the cold stone road.


    Around them, Lezhen went to the corridor, looked at the painting on the painting, and sneered, "it''s a good painting. It''s hard for you. It''s like this in such a short time. It''s a pity that you can''t cover up the fact that you drank during your filial piety, the leader of Le''an County! "


    Fang Xinsu said calmly, "I don''t know what the princess is talking about?"


    Le Zhen sneered, "I didn''t expect that the head of Le''an county would also lie. It''s time for the emperor''s grandmother to see you like that. Jin Ying, what did you say just now? "


    This is to put yourself on the fire, but now, there is no other way, Jinying can only hope that Princess Lezhen will bring down the leader of Le''an county. So she came forward and said, "I just went to the front yard to deliver things to Mr. Fang according to the order of the county leader. Before I left, there was a banquet in the garden. I just don''t know when the banquet was removed. If the princess doesn''t believe it, she can ask others. "


    "Others? I''m afraid the garden is full of servants of Hou''s house, right? Ask them, will they cover up for their master? "


    Jin Ying replied, "in addition to the slaves, there are aunt Mo and Xiuluo around the county leader. They are all from the CI Ning palace. I think they won''t lie."


    Naturally, Lezhen''s entourage went to find out these people. Lezhen thought that these people were put beside the county leader of Waiba Road, Le''an. She couldn''t help but feel dissatisfied. She would never let go of such an opportunity. So she calmly said, "you all tell the truth. At noon today, did the head of Le''an County drink here?"

 Chapter 23

    Of course, they were headed by Aunt Mo, who gave a salute and said, "tell the princess that although the county leader and the girls in the Marquis''s mansion have lunch and some fruits here today, no one drinks at the banquet."


    Lezhen didn''t expect that Aunt Mo would fall to Le''an, and Jinying didn''t expect that either. She said eagerly, "aunt, you have to think clearly. In front of the princess, you can''t do favoritism." Both inside and outside the words are meant by Aunt Mo excusing Le''an.


    Aunt Mo said, "the words of the old slave are true, and I dare not deceive the princess." I''m kidding. She was sent by the Empress Dowager to be the county master''s aunt. If the county leader really has the reputation of drinking in filial piety, whose face will he hit? In the end, it''s not the Empress Dowager''s? Don''t say that the county leader didn''t drink, that''s true. She can only say that she didn''t.


    I can''t understand Jin Ying! If something really happened to the county leader, what else could they get from the palace?


    At this time, Lezhen looked at the others in the palace, "how many of you? If you think there''s something wrong with what aunt Mo said, just say it. You''ll have the princess to decide for you. "


    A few people were silent.


    Although Le Zhen has always been unruly, she is not brainless. Seeing aunt Mo talking to Fang Xinsu, she knows that she can''t get rid of the "drinking in filial piety".


    However, she still has a back move. She turns her head and looks at Fang Xinsu. "It''s just that Jin Ying may have made a mistake. Just, when I came over, it was true that Jinying was sent by you to send things to your brother. The female official of eight grades who came out of the imperial palace of CI Ning has become an errand worker here. Where do you put the face of CI Ning palace? Do you have any grandmothers in your eyes? "


    Fang Xin Su "stood up" and replied, "since the Empress Dowager has given me a few of them, how to call them has the final say. If they come out of the Empress Dowager''s Palace on the basis of their identity, and they are picky and even disrespectful to their masters, then they are going to make trouble for the palace and the Empress Dowager! "


    "Well, you fangxinsu, you are smart enough. Why did the palace ever let you up? I don''t care about your kindness. I''m not that generous. I don''t think we should pay attention to this palace. Come on, teach me a lesson about this disrespectful man. "


    In ordinary times, even the spoiled princesses and concubines are often bullied by Lezhen, and her followers are lawless. Seeing that Lezhen opened her mouth, a maid in waiting behind her immediately came forward and slapped her.


    Fang Xinsu didn''t expect that Lezhen was so arrogant that she started to act when she didn''t agree. For a moment, she couldn''t react. The light willow kneeling beside her saw that the maid in waiting had a stout figure, and her palm was the size of a fan. This slap was full of strength. If it really hit Fang Xinsu''s face, Fang Xinsu''s face would be lost.


    There was no time to think more. Between lightning and flint, Qingliu stood up and protected fangxinsu in her arms. The maid''s slap just fell on the back of her head. Light willow suddenly felt that the sky was spinning and her eyes were full of stars. She almost fell to the ground and was held by Fang Xinsu. "Light willow, are you ok?"


    Seeing that Princess Lezhen is so unreasonable, Shen Tian and others can''t care whether they are respectful or not. They all stand up and block Fang Xinsu''s master and servant behind them.


    Shen Tian said, "what does the princess mean? Not to mention that my cousin is the head of the county granted by the emperor, even our Shen family is also the hall of marquis. That is to say, if there is anything wrong in our family, it is up to your majesty to issue an edict. Where does the princess put our loyal Marquis''s house when she comes to our house to fight like this? "


    Le Zhen hummed coldly, "it''s just a marquis''s house. It''s not in my princess''s eyes. Even if I demolish your Marquis''s mansion today, what can you do for me? "


    A woman on the side echoed, "Shen Tian, don''t think you have a big face. What''s the prince''s daughter in front of the princess? Let''s get out of the way. Don''t look ugly. " Shen Tian doesn''t know her, but Shen Ying and Shen Lian know each other. This is Wei Ruxia, a concubine of Wei Shufei''s elder brother''s family. She met several times at the dinner party of the powerful family. It''s said that Wei Ruxia fawned on Princess Lezhen and didn''t even pay attention to her sister at home. However, no matter how flattering she was, she couldn''t change her family background. When she attended some banquets, she could only stay in the family circle.


    Shen Lian quickly weighs Wei Ruxia''s identity in her heart. She is Wei Shufei''s niece, but her father is just a five-level official. If it wasn''t for the face of Wei Shufei and the third prince, she didn''t even have the chance to squeeze into the expensive girl circle. If it''s really torn apart, do you want to help the elder sister or look on coldly.


    The Zhongyi Marquis''s house is a century old family, and Lezhen doesn''t want to make it too ugly. So she said to Shen Tian, "for your father''s sake, I won''t move you. I''ll just ask Fang Xinsu for trouble. You can get out of the way."


    But Shen Tian did not move. "If the princess wants to move my cousin''s hair today, she has to step over my body first."


    Princess Lezhen''s silver teeth bite "toast, no penalty!" Then he winked at Wei Ruxia, who reached out to push Shen Tian. "The princess told you to get out of the way, didn''t you hear me?" But before she touched Shen Tian, she was stopped.


    It was Shen Lian who stopped her. Shen Lian held her wrist tightly and said, "what are you? How dare you touch my elder sister


    Shen Tian doesn''t want Shen lian to stand in front of her. Shen Ying, who has always been used to following her, still hides behind her. She has no intention of making a breakthrough. Shen Tian''s face was silent, but he had a new measurement in his heart.


    Fang Xinjian and Shen Rong, who heard the news, also came with the front yard boy and his wife, but le Zhen didn''t even look at them and ordered several bodyguards to block them out. These bodyguards were lent to her by three of them. They were usually responsible for her personal safety, but generally they would not help her. After all, Lezhen usually deals with first-class women. If something really happens, Lezhen will not be a princess. They are not necessarily the same.


    At this time, aunt Mo and others have also stopped in front of Lezhen, "please think twice. If today''s event is known by the empress dowager, I''m afraid it will be bad for the princess."


    This just hit the pain point of Lezhen. She said angrily, "what''s the disadvantage? I don''t believe that the emperor''s grandmother can''t get along with me for an orphan daughter. Fang Xinsu, with a pitiful little face, coaxed the emperor''s grandmother to treat her as a treasure. Last time I coaxed my grandmother''s colorful pearl crown, but this time I coaxed luozidai, a tribute from Persia. It''s so brazen. Today I''ll teach her a lesson and let her know that there are some things she can''t think of. "


    With that, he said to the two mothers behind him, "what are you still standing there doing, don''t you start? Shen Fu these people have again obstruct of, no matter be a young lady or wench, together clean up for this princess. The consequences should be borne by the princess. "


    The two mothers looked at each other and thought that it was not the first time that the princess bullied the minister''s daughter. Every time the punishment was just a little thunder and a little rain, there would be no accident this time.


    So they rolled up their sleeves and got ready to start.


    Seeing these two people, aunt Mo was surprised that others didn''t know, but she knew that they were carefully cultivated by Wei Shufei. Although they were no different from ordinary mothers in appearance, they were actually hidden Kung Fu. In the past, I didn''t know how many evil things I had done to help Princess Lezhen. Today, is it hard for the leader of Le''an county to escape?

 Chapter 24

    Aunt Mo was worried that these two mothers were not easy to deal with. How could little Xizi, who went to the palace to deliver the letter, not move the rescue soldiers?


    Over there, Lezhen''s entourage has been wrestling with Shen Fu''s wife and servant girls. Although there are a lot of people led by Le Zhen, they are in Shen Fu''s territory after all. Although they are the princess''s followers, they dare not fight back, but they also control them from getting close to their master.


    At last, the two nuns threw a stout woman aside.


    They were fighting side by side. They were about to catch Fang Xinsu''s clothes. Suddenly, several stones came from the air and hit them on their right hands.


    "Ouch, ouch" two people eat pain, have hugged the right hand wailing unceasingly.


    "Who dares to do harm to the princess?"


    "It''s me!" Le Zhen turned her head and saw that her royal highness, Prince Wu, Princess Rong and Han Yu''s cousin of aunt Jinghua were coming. She was speechless.


    Han''s also followed behind, came to see several servant girls lying on the ground. Daughter and niece are also disheveled, described as embarrassed, not from grief, quickly ran to the girls to check.


    "Lezhen, how dare you! How dare you run to the Zhongyi Marquis''s house and beat your courtiers! Do you have any rules in your eyes? " The prince rebuked.


    What are the rules? The rules of the world are not set by my father. I''m a princess. I''m just the daughter of several ministers. If I fight, I''ll fight. So what? "


    "You..." the prince was so angry that he couldn''t speak. This Lezhen became more and more lawless. She was so disrespectful to her.


    "Princess Lezhen has a big voice. She has the ability to say this to the Empress Dowager and the emperor in the palace." One side of the Rong Jun Wang cool said.


    "Just go. What''s to be afraid of?" Yue Zhen still refuses to accept.


    "The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf. Naturally, there is nothing to be afraid of. It''s our loyal and righteous Marquis who should be afraid. Should a Royal Princess like you be beaten up?"


    With that, he pointed to several bodyguards standing on one side and said, "I''m incompetent in running my family. I let a group of waimen break into the inner courtyard. My family is full of loyal people. Pity my husband who is still fighting on the battlefield. She has given up her family property to protect her family and defend her country. Now her children and nephew are humiliated in her own home. What''s the reputation of Shen family? How can I be worthy of my ancestors? What face do I have to wait for my husband to come back? I might as well die... "With that, he got up and ran into the pillar of Tingyu Pavilion.


    When they want to stop, it''s too late to see Han''s head bumping into the pillar of Tingyu Pavilion, and the blood is pouring out, which makes them all jump.


    Prince several people busy send for the doctor, joking, if this Han really has a long and short, spread to the royal family''s reputation?


    Shen Tian immediately ran forward to help Han, "mother, how are you, mother!" Han quietly winked at her and closed her eyes again. Then Han''s hand seemed to be unintentionally on her hand. Seeing that her mother was all right, Shen Tian was quite sure. She took the things in her mother''s hand with one hand and stuffed them into her sleeve. The other hand took a handkerchief to cover the wound on the mother''s head and cried bitterly, "mother, if you have something unexpected, what can your daughter do?"


    Fang Xinsu thought that her aunt was really hurt, and Han''s uncertain life and death now hurt her deeply. She turned her head and walked up to Lezhen. She gave her a slap and then said in a cold voice, "if anything happens to my aunt, we will never die with you, Tang Lezhen!" They didn''t expect that Fang Xinsu would dare to fight against Le Zhen, or they didn''t stop her. Lezhen covered her left face and said angrily, "how dare you hit me? From childhood to adulthood, even my father never touched my finger. What are you? I must report to my father and kill you


    Fang Xinsu sneered, "well, you can show the emperor to my relatives and tell them to find out. Don''t blame them!"


    "You, you wait..." then he ran away with his face covered.


    On the other side, the king of Jianjun thought it very interesting to see Fang Xinsu''s cold look. It''s rare to see such a sharp girl who is used to the same old lady. Now I can''t help looking at Fang Xinsu more.


    Lezhen ran away, but the prince looked at the mess of Zhongyi Marquis''s house, and his head was so big that he shouldn''t have come here to watch the fun. He never thought that Lezhen would make such a fuss, break into the Marquis''s house without saying anything, slap the county leader, threaten the Marquis''s daughter, and kill the loyal marquis. I''m afraid it can''t be done well. On second thought, he wasted all his efforts to win over the loyal marquis. Now his sister has made such a big mistake for him. What can he do?


    The Marquis is not at home, and the Shen family are all concubines. They don''t have enough status. Fang Xinjian goes to the prince and says, "today''s business is for the prince, the princes and the princes. It''s time to entertain you. It''s just like this in the mansion at the moment... "


    Before he finished, the prince waved his hand. "Don''t say much about it. It''s all in the eyes of Gu Wang and others. Then he went back to the palace and told his father and emperor that he would not humiliate his wife, the head of the county and the girls. The Shen family has Young Master Lao Fang and younger brother Han Yu to take care of them. If they are short of any herbal supplements, just send someone to Gu to get them. " Then, without further ado, he turned and left.


    The remaining five princes and the king of Jianjun also left. Only Han Yu cared about his aunt''s injury.


    Han Yu and Fang Xinjian take Shen Cang and their party to the gate to see them on the rack. Fang Xinjian then says, "thanks to Han Biao, who invited them here, otherwise Princess Lezhen will not use any means."


    Han Yu said, "it''s just a coincidence. Today I went out to have a look. On the way, I met my aunt, who was in a hurry to get back. Only then did I know that Princess Lezhen had cheated me. This Le Zhen is really hateful. Tomorrow I will let my mother go to the palace to have a good life with my grandmother and uncle


    In the Imperial Palace, Emperor Kangming already knew what happened in Zhongyi Marquis''s house, and angrily fell all the four treasures of the study on the imperial case to the ground. "This Yuezhen, she is usually more unruly and willful in the palace, but now she intrudes into the Marquis''s house, bullies the county leader, slaps the Marquis''s daughter... It''s really out of order. Who gives her such courage? "Yes?"

 Chapter 25

    All the servants in the room were kneeling on the ground and didn''t dare to make a sound. Mr. Liu thought, "Oh, Hello, Princess Lezhen is not used to your temper. Last time she ruined the girl in Weiyuan uncle''s house, isn''t it just a little thunder and rain? Isn''t it normal to poke a bigger basket in the future? "


    Of course, Liu Gong Gong also dares to make complaints about his heart, and he can never say anything on his lips.


    At this time, the bodyguard outside came in to tell the prince and the fifth prince to see him.


    Emperor Kangming said that they had come in. When they came in, the prince saw that the ground was in a mess. He thought that his father would know what happened today. So he said, "please calm your anger. Sister Lezhen is still young, and she can teach people how to live. Now, Mrs. Shen is afraid that she is not very good, and her children are afraid that there will be an emergency. Please send the imperial doctor to visit her."


    "What happened to Mrs. Shen?" Emperor Kangming only knew that Lezhen had taken people to make trouble in Zhongyi Marquis''s house, but he didn''t know that Han had hit the pillar.


    The prince hesitated and said, "because sister Lezhen brought several bodyguards to intrude into the inner courtyard of the Marquis''s house, which disturbed the leader of Le''an county and the girls of the Shen family who were painting. The Marquis''s wife felt that she was incompetent in running the house, which made the girls of the man''s house rude. Therefore, she wanted to thank the ancestors of the Shen family and Marquis Shen for her death."


    Then, the prince knelt down and said, "I blame my son''s incompetence for failing to stop Mrs. Shen in time. Please punish him." The fifth Prince and others also knelt down together and said, "the children''s ministers are incompetent."


    Emperor Kangming waved his hand. "OK, it''s none of your business. How is Mrs. Shen injured? "


    The prince said, "my son only saw that Mrs. Shen was bleeding after she hit the pillar. It''s not good for me to stay in the inner courtyard of the Marquis''s mansion. I''ve sent a doctor to treat him there."


    Emperor Kangming raised his voice and said, "Liu Zhen, immediately send two imperial doctors to Zhongyi Marquis''s house. We must make Mrs. Shen safe. Go and tell the queen about it and let her see the arrangement. "


    Kangming emperor knew that Han''s life would not be in great danger. Her life seeking was just a way to express her dissatisfaction, otherwise she would not have died in front of so many people. But it''s not because Lezhen and her outsider break into the inner courtyard of the Marquis''s house. She''s afraid that the girls of the Shen family will be criticized?


    Ah, I have to clean up the mess by myself for the trouble my children have caused.


    Then he asked, "how old is the eldest daughter of the Shen family this year?"


    This question, a room of men who have nothing to inquire about the age of the girl''s home ah?


    Liu Zhen thought about it and said, "I remember that the leader of Le''an county is 13 years old. Miss Shen should be one or two years older. She is 14 or 15 years old this year."


    Emperor Kangming looked at the fifth Prince standing behind the prince and said, "I remember that the fifth Prince is 17 years old, and it''s time to talk about marriage."


    When the fifth Prince heard the string song, he knew his elegance. When he was in the Zhongyi Marquis''s house, after Mrs. Shen was injured, Miss Shen tried to endure her grief and still calmly directed her subordinates to do things. More importantly, she has a father who is quite good at fighting and holds great power. Is this an unintentional act? The fifth Prince restrained his excitement and said, "my son heard that the eldest daughter of the Shen family, xiuwai Huizhong and Huizhi Lanxin, asked his father to marry me."


    In the past, the fifth Prince did not speak much. Emperor Kangming didn''t want him to be so transparent. He was very happy and said, "OK, come on, give me the order."


    The rest congratulated the fifth Prince one after another. The prince congratulated and sighed in his heart that this matter had finally accomplished the fifth brother. Many people wanted to win over the loyal Marquis, but now they have taken advantage of the fifth brother, who has always been silent. But think of old five although usually words are not much, also have no real power, but to oneself this prince has always been considered respectful, so also press heart sour meaning. Then, several imperial edicts were issued one after another. First of all, Shen Tian''s imperial edict of giving marriage to the fifth prince, and Fang Xinsu''s imperial edict of being accepted by the queen as her adopted daughter and being granted the title of "Le''an Princess".


    Of course, for Le Zhen, the creator of this farce, Emperor Kangming didn''t show mercy as before. He didn''t even see her. He sent someone to take her to Bailian nunnery, the place where the royal family dealt with the family members who had made mistakes.


    Yue Zhen''s mother, Wei Shufei, who is also emperor Kangming''s favorite imperial concubine, had no time to intercede with her daughter, so she was given the title by an imperial edict and was demoted to imperial concubine Wei. She was ordered to think about her faults behind closed doors. If she hadn''t given birth to a third prince who was about to become an adult, she didn''t know how to compete.


    The Empress Dowager and the empress all sent their female officials and relatives to visit the injured Han family in the Zhongyi Marquis''s residence. All kinds of valuable medicines and tonics were sent to them.


    Originally, the circle of powerful people who had been watching the matter didn''t know the emperor''s meaning after they knew the fifth Prince''s will to marry. The ladies who have friendship want to visit Han with gifts. Those who don''t know him also send family members to send gifts to say hello. For a moment, the front of Zhongyi Marquis''s house was once again overcrowded.


    Later, the Shen family had no choice but to say, "Madam Hou is seriously injured. The imperial doctor told her to have a rest, so she would not see any visitors." Yunyun, in this way, the outside of Shen''s residence just stopped.


    In Yuehua courtyard, although Mrs. Shen was not injured, she always had to pretend that several girls took turns to wait on her. Even though the old lady in Ninghui courtyard was eager to die immediately, now she has to send people to visit her every day.


    This day, I managed to get rid of the idle people. Han looked at Shen Tian and said, "I''m just trying to find a way for you, but I''ve tried too hard. I thought that after you and hairpin, I would find you a family with clean family background and simple population, so that you can get married and live a safe life. Who wants the emperor to give you to the fifth prince? Fortunately, it''s Zhengfei. Otherwise, how can I see your father? A daughter-in-law is hard to do, but a royal daughter-in-law is even harder. If you are wronged by an ordinary family, how can your mother let your brothers open their eyes to you? How can I be at ease? "


    Shen Tian said, "my mother is worried too much. With our family background and my father''s achievements, as long as the fifth Prince is not too unreasonable, my daughter can live a good life."


    Han said, "the fifth Prince has always been silent, and he is not conspicuous among the princes, and he does not know what his temperament is. Your cousin Han Yu should be familiar with him. I''ll let you know about his temperament. Don''t be that kind of gold and jade. Otherwise, my mother won''t be able to push you to the pit of fire even if she tries not to die. "


    Shen Tian said helplessly, "my mother is worried too much. Anyway, she is a prince. She has been taught by a famous teacher since she was a child. I don''t think there will be much wrong."


    Han shook his head. "That''s not necessarily. You see Princess Lezhen, she was taught by a well-educated mother since she was a child, but she is still arrogant and overbearing?"


    Seeing that his mother was tangled up there, Shen Tian had no choice but to persuade him, "since I didn''t listen to the fifth Prince''s unusual words and deeds in the past, I think it will be OK. If the mother is really not at ease, ask cousin Yu another day. Don''t worry about it. It''s really hard for her daughter. Mother and good health and recuperation, daughter to see the di Cui Zhai, sister Liu


    Han nodded, "go, the girl''s injury is better?"


    Shen Tian said, "it''s just the place beside. The torn strand of hair will grow out in a few days. Only her neck was scratched by the palace man''s armor that day, and I don''t know if it will leave any scars. "


    Han said, "this girl is a good one. If she hadn''t spared no effort to protect her that day, I''m afraid she would be lying in bed today. If that slap really hit her in the face, her life would be ruined. By the way, I have a bottle of Bai Yu Shu scar cream from the empress. It''s the most effective for traumatic scars. If you take a bottle to her, it''s better than giving anything else. In addition, I''ll give her some good bird''s nest and Ganoderma lucidum. I''ve got a lot of them Shen Tian nodded and took the ointment and tonic found by Feixu to didcuizhai.

 Chapter 26

    On that day, the palace man who injured Qingliu wore barbed armor on his hand. Fortunately, Qingliu''s back was facing her at that time, and there was nothing wrong with her face. Rao is so, light willow''s back of the head also played a big bag, after several days to detumescence. Now it''s no matter where else, the one whose hair has been torn off has grown well. Only the one inch long scar on the neck is still a little red and swollen. It looks terrible.


    Fang Xinsu found out the best scar removing medicine she had collected there and put it on her. It just made the wound look smaller and could not be cured.


    Aunt Mo was worried about Qingliu''s scar, so she said, "princess, don''t worry too much. The girl of Weiyuan''s family suffered the same injury the year before last. She used a lot of ointment, but it didn''t work. Later, it was the empress who gave her Baiyu Shuchen glue, the holy medicine in the palace. I heard that after she used it, the girl''s injury soon recovered as before, and I couldn''t see it at all. If the princess is really worried about Qingliu, it''s better to tell the Empress Dowager. I think the Empress Dowager will definitely give this medicine for the sake of asking Miss Liu to be loyal to the Lord. "


    "In that case, I''ll send someone to deliver the sign." Fang Xinsu stood up and said.


    "What brand is it?" While talking, Shen Tian came in from outside.


    Fang Xinsu quickly said the reason again, Shen Tian said with a smile, "it''s a coincidence that you don''t have to run this leg. When my mother heard that Qingliu was badly injured, she ordered me to take the white jade Shuchen ointment given to her by the empress to Qingliu


    Hearing this, Fang Xinsu was overjoyed that his aunt was considerate Then he said, "if it wasn''t for protecting me, Qingliu would not have suffered this disaster. And my aunt, who is still in bed now, has suffered a lot of humiliation that day. It''s all my fault. It''s everybody''s fault. " Then the tears fell.


    Shen Tian quickly took a handkerchief to help her wipe her tears. "Good sister, I''ve talked to you many times. It''s all a family. You''re a stranger when you say that. You live in your uncle''s house. Can the whole family watch you being bullied by outsiders? If you think we are your relatives, you can''t say that again. "


    Fang Xinsu felt uncomfortable. If she was really someone else''s niece, she was not. The better the Shen family treated her, the more upset she was. However, when Shen Tian said this, Fang Xinsu burst into tears and laughed, "good sister, I won''t say it any more. Let''s go and see the willows. "


    Sure enough, it was the holy medicine in the palace. After a few days, the scar on the back of the neck disappeared, leaving only a pale pink mark. The scar itself is not easy to be detected behind the neck. Now, unless you know in advance, you can''t see anything unusual unless you take your eyes to see it.


    After her injury was healed, Lin Enron came to visit again, so she told Han and Fang Xinsu that she wanted to go home.


    Leisurely came to greet Han in person, and Han felt relieved after seeing her scar with his own eyes. "It''s just that you''ve already taken off your nationality. Since the family is concerned, it''s better to go home earlier. If I had asked you to go back earlier, you would not have had to suffer


    Leisurely replied, "I''m very glad that I stayed in the house for a few more days. It''s a disaster for the princess. I''m not afraid of anything. If the princess gets that... I''m afraid when I think about it. Fortunately, the matter has finally been settled


    Han''s happy release, and then sent a pack of good tonic, medicine to her, including many, ginseng, bird''s nest and other valuable things. Han said, "these things are not rare in our house. It''s not good to buy them after going out. The ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum are all processed. As long as they are properly stored, it''s OK to put them for a year. You keep it. In case of any emergency, you won''t be blind


    See Han said sincerely, leisurely accepted.


    I heard that leisurely to go, fangxinsu is not good to stay. In addition to the things she gave a few days ago, she ordered mammy Zhang to collect some new fashionable jewelry and give her some new books. Leisurely looking at the front of the jewelry box, some speechless. Fang Xinsu said that she had collected some jewelry for her, but she didn''t think much about it, so she accepted it. Who would like to open, see this dazzling box full of all kinds of jewelry, suddenly some scared, this is not a few kinds of jewelry, this is a whole box. Leisurely rough calculation, the things in it add up to no less than a thousand gold. No wonder she asked mammy Zhang to send it to her room directly. I think she was afraid of attracting other people''s eyes.


    I think Fang Xinsu also feels that she has been blocked for a while and hurt again. These can be regarded as a gift of thanks. To send it back, I''m afraid it''s a disappointment to her. After thinking about it for a long time, leisurely still accepted it. If there are more lice, they are not afraid of biting. If they are cheap, they will have a chance to make a report again.


    It was a fine day. Lin Enron hired a carriage to pick him up early. When the gatekeeper saw him coming, he quickly informed him. He said goodbye to Han and the girls, said goodbye to the sisters, and left with tears in his eyes.


    Although she gave most of the clothes, cloth and other things to her sisters, the rest was still filled with a carriage. Although the carriage Lin Ran Ran was not small, she had so many things that even her original seat was occupied. She could only curl up on a wooden box near the door curtain, holding a bundle in her hand. My younger brother was driving outside.


    Even though it was uncomfortable to sit like this, she could not help laughing when she saw the blue sky and white clouds outside through the gap of the curtain. She finally breathed the air of freedom.


    At noon, they ate some snacks with warm water under a big tree by the side of the road. After a short rest, they went on the road. A little delay prevented them from getting home before dark.


    Finally, just as it was getting dark, they returned to their home, a village dwelling in the suburb of Beijing.


    It''s just that this house is different from the house in leisurely memory.


    Seeing his sister''s doubts, Xu said, "this is the ancestral home left by our ancestors. Because the terrain is higher, the flood didn''t rush in that year. The house in our town was destroyed. When I came back from Fucheng, my mother sold the land because of the shortage of money. We also have this ancestral home and seven or eight mu of land, and the money we get is enough for our daily needs. "


    He nodded his head leisurely, but he was thinking that the original owner had heard a steward say that when the year was good, the annual income of grain except tax money could be changed into eight or nine hundred dollars, and seven or eight mu of land could be changed into six hundred and twenty dollars a year. He had to study for his younger brother, and he didn''t know how the Taoist family saved more than thirty taels of silver.


    This idea is just a flash in leisurely mind. At this time, Lin Mu, who heard the sound of the carriage, came out of the room and saw a pair of children standing in front of the gate peacefully, with tears streaming down her face. She stepped forward and held leisurely in her arms, crying bitterly to the point of "good boy, you''ve suffered all these years. Just come back. Our family is finally reunited. "

 Chapter 27

    Although I''m not used to being so close to others, leisurely doesn''t break away. This situation makes leisurely feel sad.


    Or the man''s emotion is more resolute, at this time Enron reminds a way in the side "mother, the elder sister is also hard, let''s move things in first."


    Lin''s mother immediately nodded, "yes, I''m so confused that I''m patronizing and crying. Come on, Enron, help your sister move everything to the northwest house. We''ll have dinner when we''re done


    Enron lifted the curtain of the carriage, but Lin''s mother didn''t expect that her daughter had brought so many things. She couldn''t help asking, "leisurely, will the ladies in the house be not happy if you bring so many things back?"


    Leisurely smile to "don''t worry, mother. These things are the rewards of the masters over the years, as well as the earth instruments given by some little sisters. There''s nothing you can''t see. "


    Hearing her daughter''s reply, Lin''s mother was relieved. When I think of the rich scene I saw in Shen Fu last time, I can''t help sighing in my heart that this rich family is just generous. Leisurely, a servant girl can have so many good things. When I think of my daughter''s years, no matter how much she has gained, there is nothing to be happy about.


    The mother and son went back and forth more than ten times, and finally moved everything to the west room.


    After moving the things, Lin Mu took leisurely hand and said to her, "you can live in this room in the future. Our condition is far worse than that of Hou Fu like Shen Fu. You can make do with it. See what else you want, and I''ll buy it for you in two days. "


    A leisurely glance shows that the room is quite spacious. Apart from an earthen Kang, there is also a dresser, a wardrobe and a set of tables and chairs. The furniture and the bedding on the Kang look like new ones. I felt a lot of relief.


    Hearing Lin''s mother say this, he said, "mother, you''re welcome. That''s good. No matter how rich Shen Fu is, it''s not mine. It''s my real home. " Lin''s mother was afraid that her daughter would be fascinated by the prosperity of the rich family if she stayed there for a long time.


    Now see daughter so thoroughly understand, in the heart extremely comfort, more love her.


    Leisurely didn''t tell her family about her injuries. The horizontal and vertical events have passed, and her injuries are better. She said that in addition to adding to the troubles of her family, other things are not helpful. So why say more?


    In order to meet her daughter, Lin''s mother slaughtered an old hen at home early, and stewed a large pot of old hen soup with sun dried mountain mushrooms and red dates and medlar. She remembers that when she was a child, her daughter liked dumplings best, and she also made dumplings with cabbage and pork stuffing.


    At the dinner table, Lin''s mother put a big chicken leg into leisurely bowl and urged her to eat more. Leisurely wants to refuse, but she can''t resist her mother''s kindness. Although she was an old hen, she stewed for half an afternoon. The chicken was crispy and tasted delicious. Leisurely finish eating a big chicken leg, drink a bowl of chicken soup, and eat a few dumplings, frankly can not eat.


    Enron also said, "my sister ate too little, so I have to eat more in the future." Enron is growing up. Although he doesn''t look fat, he eats a lot. He ate most of the dumplings covered with curtains.


    Lin Mu angrily glanced at her son, "OK, you think everyone is like you, eating so much. But you don''t eat much leisurely. It depends on how thin you are. You should eat more in the future. It''s a blessing to eat. "


    After dinner, leisurely took the initiative to help her mother clean up the dishes. Lin''s mother didn''t stop her. She just asked her son to help her sister clean up. Lin''s mother thought that although she was not willing to let her daughter suffer, her daughter would marry out after all. When she arrived at her mother-in-law''s house, she would not do anything, and she would be hated. It''s better to learn from now on, and save the future.


    Leisurely didn''t think so much. I can''t sit by myself. Let the elder collect the dishes and chopsticks. I just didn''t expect that my younger brother would also help. Didn''t the ancients say that "a gentleman is far away from cooking"? The kitchen is in a side room on the east side of the yard. Enron puts the remaining chicken soup and dumplings into the cabinet. Then she took the chopsticks from her sister and said, "sister, take a rest. I''ll wash the chopsticks." Without waiting for leisurely reaction, Enron has put the dishes and chopsticks into a wooden basin to wash them.


    Enron''s action is quick and skillful, which is often done at first sight. He ironed the dishes and chopsticks with boiling water and cleaned them with cold water. The oil on the dishes and chopsticks was very clean. After washing the dishes and chopsticks, he poured the dishwashing water into a wooden bucket. He dug out some powdery things from a bag at the door and put them into the bucket. Then he took out a piece of grits, smashed them and put them in. Then he poured some boiling water into the bucket and stirred them evenly with a wooden spoon.


    See elder sister has been staring at himself, Enron embarrassed smile "our backyard also fed two sows, we eat more oil and water tonight, this dishwashing water used to feed pigs best."


    Leisurely nodded with a smile, thinking that Lin''s mother had brought up the younger brother very well. She didn''t have the pedantic spirit of a scholar at all. She could go up and down, and was very pragmatic.


    The place where they feed pigs is in the northwest corner of the northernmost part of the yard, and there is a large vegetable field between the two rows of houses. The northeast corner has a brood of hens.


    Pour the pig food into the pig trough with my younger brother. Leisurely, I found that the area of the yard is bigger than I imagined. Although there are only five main rooms, the East and West Wing rooms are very complete, and the area of the backyard is even larger than that of the front yard. Enron said that their grandfather left two houses, and the other one was bigger for his uncle''s family. Leisurely, he thought, it seems that the Lin family''s ancestral family is still very rich.


    After feeding the pigs and returning to the main house, Lin''s mother chatted with them and said, "today, your sister and brother are tired. Let''s have a rest early. Leisurely, the wooden basin in your room was bought a few days ago. I just gave you a basin of hot water and put it in. It should be just right for you to wash now. "


    Leisurely and embarrassed, she said, "mother, how can I work hard? Can you fetch me water? How can it be like that? "


    Lin''s mother replied with a smile, "it''s no shame to be a mother and bring her daughter a basin of water. Besides, you just came back, you can''t find anything. I''ll be familiar with it after a few days, and I won''t be like this. Well, go wash and have a rest. "


    Leisurely according to the words to leave, after a while back. I saw her carry over a burden, put it on the table, opened it, and said, "mother, this is the clothes that I just made for you the other day. I''m in a hurry, and the stitches are thicker. I hope my mother and my younger brother don''t care."


    Shen''s mother didn''t expect that she would make a new suit for each of them in just a few days. She saw that although there was no complicated embroidery on the dress, the stitching was delicate and well proportioned, and she thought she had made great efforts. And it''s not a very expensive material. It''s made of top quality Songjiang cloth, which can be worn in ordinary days. Then he put it away with tears, "you child, didn''t you let your brother bring back two clothes last time? How did you do it again? I''ll be happy if I can put on the clothes made by my daughter, but I won''t be allowed to do that in the future. How tired should I be to catch up with these clothes for just a few days? "


    Shen Enron was also very happy to see the clothes his sister made for him. After expressing his gratitude, he went back to his room to study.

 Chapter 28

    Back to the room after washing, leisurely lying on the strange Kang, thinking about their own future.


    This dynasty is not the same as the one I know well. It''s a name I''ve never heard of. It''s called the Dakang Dynasty.


    The style of dressing is close to that of Ming Dynasty, but many things are more developed. For example, glass, soap, muskets and other things that will only appear in later generations have long existed. Although glass windows and other things are only affordable to large families.


    And the status of women is much higher than that in history. At least there is no custom of women binding feet, there is no saying of divorcing their wives, there is only peace and separation. And no matter what reason and leave, women can take their dowry away. The divorced women and young widows have the right to remarry or not, and no one, including their parents in law, father and brother, can force them to remain widowed or remarry.


    Here, most men and women get married after the age of 18. There is no saying that they get married at the age of 15 or hairpin. In this way, I still have two years of freedom.


    Although I got a lot of things in Shen Fu, leisurely didn''t want to go down like this. What''s more, Mrs. Shen is right. She has a lot of things, but she doesn''t plan to use them to supplement her family. She had calculated the total value of the original owner''s things, which was about seven or eight hundred Liang. She added some more, and she could not use more than one thousand Liang to supplement the Lin family.


    In modern times, leisurely studied history, but she also studied calligraphy and traditional Chinese painting for many years, and has her own unique opinions on color matching. What''s more, the thesis she wrote when she graduated from university is about ancient embroidery, such as Suzhou embroidery, Hunan embroidery, Yue embroidery and Shu embroidery. I don''t know how many of them are. In addition, some Gu embroidery, Jing embroidery, Lu embroidery and long embroidery are also slightly involved.


    She has also carefully studied the needling techniques and techniques of Qi needling, nested needling, tie needling, long and short needling, staggered needling, net needling, all over the ground needling, flat gold needling, shadow gold needling and double-sided needling.


    For a long time, although some things have been forgotten, but after passing through, she has completely inherited the original owner''s needlework craft. In the constant contact of embroidery, those things that had been forgotten before were slowly remembered and used by her in embroidery. The original owner''s needlework is excellent, plus her unique views, now leisurely needlework is really outstanding.


    Especially double-sided embroidery, in leisurely memory, few people will. If you can practice this, you will really have the skill to settle down.


    Although I don''t intend to be a virgin, the money left by the original owner will still be gradually used to improve my family. She just noticed that although the clothes Lin Mu and An''an wore at home were clean and starched, they were all patched.


    The robe Enron wore when he went to pick him up today was the one he made for him a few days ago, but after he came back, he changed into a patched short dress.


    Although each of them has made a suit of clothes, it will be moldy if they put so many white clothes there for a long time. It''s better to take out a few pieces to make two suits for Lin Mu and Enron. Now that I''m a family, I have to get along well.


    Thinking like this, leisurely soon fell asleep.


    When she woke up the next day, it was already daybreak. She hadn''t slept so late for a long time.


    Leisurely quickly dressed up, and when she came out of the room, she saw that Lin Mu was cleaning the yard. She hurried forward and said, "mother, I''m sorry, I''m late. Let me come."


    Lin''s mother waved her hand and said, "it''s all right. You must have no time to be lazy in that mansion. It''s not easy for you to come back home. Are you still not interested in sleeping for a few days? I''ll warm you up on the stove. Wash up and eat. "


    He nodded leisurely, then asked, "why don''t you see my little brother?" Lin''s mother replied, "he took a day off from the academy and went to the Academy early this morning. I won''t be back until the end of the month. " Although Enron won the scholar examination, it will be more difficult to take part in the government examination. The teacher who taught Enron said that his article was far from enough to test the candidates. He first thought that he would test the candidates as soon as possible in the past two or three years. In this way, the elder sister can look better when she says goodbye.


    "Well, I didn''t know my younger brother left this morning, and I didn''t get up to see him off."


    "What''s the matter? Anyway, now that you''re back, there will be plenty of opportunities to send him. Go to dinner and change. I heard that you would come back yesterday. A few days ago, your aunt and two uncles sent a letter saying that they would come to see you today. While it''s still early, I''ll take you to your uncle''s and several neighbors'' houses to say hello


    Hearing this, leisurely quickly finished washing, and then ate a few mouthfuls of rice. Breakfast is the porridge and the dumplings left last night.


    Leisurely see the kitchen table also put some tofu, pork and other things, I think it is to be used later.


    After dinner, leisurely back to the house will change their clothes. When she came back yesterday, she was wearing the satin clothes she used to wear in the house, the moon white double breasted jacket and the pleated skirt with blue flowers on a white background. I got up late just now, and I didn''t have time to change my clothes.


    See Lin Mu put on her new clothes, leisurely also find a Songjiang cloth dress to change. Fortunately, when I was in Shenfu at that time, I had already thought of this, so I also made two cotton clothes. Otherwise, it''s not good to wear too gorgeous in this country. Thanks to the help of so many sisters, how could she make so many clothes in just a few days?


    I picked up the mirror and looked at it. This big mercury mirror is still rare. As a servant girl of Han''s mansion, the original owner was only two yuan in total. Leisurely looked at himself in the mirror, took off the gold and RUBY EARRINGS on his ears and replaced them with a pair of small anemone earrings. On the head of a pair of small gold hairpin also changed into a silver hairpin and a yarn pile of head flower. The bracelets and rings were taken off and put into the dressing box on the table.


    As soon as she finished, she heard Lin''s mother knock on the door. She said, "mother, the door is not closed. Please come in."

 Chapter 29

    Lin''s mother came to see her daughter in a cloth dress and nodded silently in her heart. She said to leisurely, "now that we''ve packed up, let''s go. Don''t be too late." Then he looked at the dressing box leisurely placed on the table. "There are many children coming today. Put those away. Don''t be damaged. I''ll get something. When you''re ready, wait for me at the door. "


    Lin Youran also forgot to ask the eldest aunt who was in the family, so he found a few handkerchiefs and a few pocketbooks to wear on her. He also found out the two eight treasure boxes and a few packets of snow candy that the catkins had stuffed into her when she was going out yesterday.


    Take these to the hall, just as Lin''s mother takes out a few packages of snacks from the inner room. When she sees her daughter taking these things, she asks, "what''s this?"


    Leisurely said with a smile, "I forgot that I came back late yesterday. This is a snack I brought back from Shen Fu. There are many in it. I want to give a box to my uncle''s family, and I''ll take it out later to entertain them, OK With that, he opened the box and showed Lin Mu the snacks inside. There were eight small boxes with different snacks, all of which were exquisite.


    Lin''s mother looked at the box with golden hook and Begonia pattern and said, "it''s just a pity. This box is too expensive to give away." Then he went into the room, found a bamboo eight treasure box and put all the snacks in it. Then mother Lin said to leisurely, "it''s not that I''m stingy, but the box seems to be worth at least ten liang of silver. Let''s walk around among our closest relatives and pay attention to the benefits and friendliness. If the gift is too thick at first, people don''t know how to return it. They think it''s not appropriate for us to separate from them. "


    With that, he took scissors to cut off a few strings of fresh grapes from the grape trellis at the door and put them in a bamboo basket. Then he locked the door and walked out with ease.


    Leisurely see the Lin mother''s action, the heart is thoughtful. Sure enough, after spending a long time in Hou''s residence, I always unconsciously brought out the extravagant energy. I should pay more attention in the future.


    Lin''s house is in the southernmost part of the village, and it was dark when their brother and sister came back yesterday. Otherwise, the car full of things will attract people''s attention. Out of the gate, we went east for more than ten meters, then north for about twenty meters, and then we arrived at the Lin family''s uncle''s house.


    Leisurely, the courtyard of uncle''s house is much bigger than theirs, and there is a inverted room and shadow wall at the door.


    As soon as he entered the courtyard, Lin Du called out, "is sister-in-law at home?" As soon as the words came out of the main room, a woman in her forties and a young woman in her twenties appeared to be her daughter-in-law.


    As soon as the woman saw them, she quickly came up with her daughter-in-law, took leisurely''s hand and said to Mrs. Lin, "this is leisurely''s girl. God, I''ve come back. It''s not in vain that your mother has been looking forward to it for so many years. "


    Lin Mu said on the side, "leisurely, this is your great aunt. I''ll see you soon." So, leisurely hurriedly gave a gift. Lin''s mother pointed to the young woman next to her and said, "this is your sister-in-law."


    After leisurely saluting, the elder uncle and mother took them to the hall. Her elder uncle was sitting there waiting for her to meet her, and there were two little nephews there. Two cousins, one studying in the Academy, the other working in the shop outside, failed to come back. Another cousin went to visit her aunt''s family and said that she would come with her aunt''s family today.


    Seeing leisurely and safe back, the whole family showed great enthusiasm and did not despise her because she had been a servant girl. At least, on the surface.


    Aunt and sister-in-law both gave her a purse and busily took out snacks and fruits to entertain her niece, whom she had not seen for many years. Seeing the dim sum Lin Youran brought back, I couldn''t help praising the delicacy and elegance. Hearing that the new clothes on Lin''s mother were made leisurely, people couldn''t help boasting. When the whole family talked and laughed, the eldest aunt naturally asked her something about hou Fu. She thought leisurely and chose what she could say.


    After about half an hour, Mrs. Lin got up and took a leisurely leave. "Next time, I''ll bring her to play. Later, her aunt and uncle''s family will come. I''ll take her back to prepare. At noon, my elder brother and sister-in-law and my nephew and daughter-in-law should go to dinner together. " Uncle and mother nodded, "OK, you go back first, we''ll go later. Knowing that your niece is back today, your elder brother gets up early in the morning and slaughters two ducks. I''ll cook some duck soup and fry some meat pancakes later. "


    The two families were close relatives, and Lin''s mother did not refuse. She said with a smile, "my sister-in-law''s old duck soup is excellent. I have a good appetite at noon."


    Then he took leisurely home, and the snack box was left behind. But the grape basket was filled with some plums and peaches and returned.


    Seeing the return gift from my uncle''s family, I felt carefree and thoughtful.


    On the way back, I met some people in the village. Mother Lin introduced them to you one by one. Although most people''s faces are full of curiosity, they all smile and greet leisurely.


    When there was no outsider, Mrs. Lin said, "after a while, your uncle''s family will come. I haven''t seen you for so many years. You may have forgotten. Let me tell you something. Your eldest uncle and second uncle separated after your grandparents died a few years ago. Your uncle''s cousin is 23 years old. He was admitted as a scholar the year before last. Now he works as an enlightenment teacher in a rich family in a neighboring county. He has already married and had children. Today, it is estimated that your cousin will come with a couple of twins over three years old. Your second cousin is 17 years old, and now he is also studying in the Academy. This year, he was admitted to the school together with your brother. I should be studying in the academy now. I guess I can''t come today. Your cousin is 20 years old and married your second son of Uncle Dexing''s family in our village. She may come here today. Your second uncle''s son and daughter are both younger than you. Your daughter is one year younger than you. Your son is only ten years old this year. You all played together when you were young. Do you have any impression? "


    Seeing her daughter nodding, Lin''s mother also put a little snack, and then talked about the situation of Lin''s aunt. Because Aunt Lin was the granddaughter of the whole family when she was unmarried, she could not read, and the girl was also very good. She married the son of the changs in liujiahe. He gave birth to three big fat boys in succession. He always wanted a girl, but he didn''t get it. So he loved his niece very much and often took her to play.


    When she got home, Lin''s mother cut half of the streaky pork she had bought in the morning and stewed it in a pot. Then she told you to watch the fire and went to the backyard to pick vegetables.


    The fire is filled with large pieces of fire-resistant firewood. As long as it can''t be put out, it''s OK. Leisurely washed the fruit that big aunt gave, found two plates to fill up. When she saw that the plum was crystal clear, she picked up one and ate it. I didn''t expect that it was very delicious, with a special sweet taste. Although she had eaten a lot in Hou''s house, she could hardly eat such fresh fruits.


    After cleaning up the main room and looking at the fire, leisurely felt a little bored, so he went back to his room and found a half embroidered handkerchief to sit on the chair at the door and embroider it.


    Because it''s just a handkerchief, leisurely doesn''t embroider too big a pattern on it. Also just embroidered a few lotus leaves and two lotus flowers in the corner.


    Leisurely while embroidering flowers, while looking at the whole yard. It was dark when I came yesterday. I didn''t see a lot of things clearly. Now we can have a good look.


    The gate of this house is opened in the southeast corner of the whole courtyard. When you enter the gate, there is a screen wall, and then you enter the main courtyard through a vertical flower gate. There is a bunch of green bamboo planted in front of the Chuihua gate, which is green and elegant. There are two pomegranate trees and a grape tree in the courtyard, and there seems to be a jujube tree in the backyard. In addition, some peonies and peonies were planted. The whole courtyard and house are made of good green bricks and black tiles. Although it has been some years, the whole courtyard looks elegant.


    A half open Lotus has not finished embroidering, I heard a cry from the door, and then a half big boy came running in, "aunt, I''m coming."

 Chapter 30

    The boy ran to the front of the main room and didn''t see his familiar aunt. He was a little stunned for a moment. It was leisurely to think of what Lin''s mother said. After a little thought, he said with a smile, "are you su Xuan''s cousin of the second uncle''s family?"


    Su Xuan nodded, "yes, how do you know my name?" Before waiting for leisurely answer, he said, "I know. You must be the leisurely cousin mentioned by your mother. Good cousin."


    After that, he gave a formal salute.


    Leisurely hastily return a gift, at this time Lin Mu just came back from the backyard, "xuan''er has come, your uncle''s family and your parents have come?"


    Su Xuan back to "all came, riding in the carriage of my butt pain, to the village I got off on their own to run."


    As soon as Lin Mu heard this, she rushed out leisurely, "let''s go out to meet you."


    When they came to the gate, leisurely uncle''s family just arrived.


    Lin''s mother took leisurely steps forward and pointed to the crowd to let leisurely meet one by one.


    Although the country is not happy to give any gifts, but leisurely wandering for many years, now it is not easy to go home, two aunts have given a purse. After seeing each other, Lin''s mother took everyone to the house.


    Two uncles are not too good at words, but from their moist eyes can still see the love for leisurely this niece.


    The two aunts are similar to those in the original owner''s memory. The eldest aunt is still so gentle and the second aunt is still so straightforward.


    This time, they also brought a lot of things, including some dried bacon, dried fruit, half a bag of millet and two big carp.


    Lin''s mother said angrily, "I''m really embarrassed that the two sisters in law bring so many things every time they come here." The two aunts both laughed and gave way. The second Auntie joked that "since my sister has too many things, I''ll take them back when we leave. At that time, my sister said that I have to add something." All the people who said it laughed.


    Two cousins and Su Xuan put things in the kitchen. Su Xuan is familiar with finding a wooden basin to pour water and put fish in it.


    After a while, we all went to the main room to sit down. The first thing we saw was the octagonal box on the square table. After all, such exquisite things are rare here.


    Seeing this, Lin''s mother felt open-minded. She quickly asked her brothers and sisters to eat, and personally brought a snack for each of them.


    Leisurely is busy with the tea, finally to all the people poured tea, leisurely just secretly relieved. Thanks to the second uncle''s cousin Xiuyun to help, otherwise so many people''s tea also have to work for a while.


    Think of here, leisurely to show cloud cousin to give a smile of gratitude, and then pull the hand of show cloud let her sit down, "cousin come to have a rest, it is let cousin tired."


    Xiuyun and her mother''s character is not the same, very quiet, gentle, she smiles "it''s OK, cousin, I''m not tired." For her cousin, who is one year older than herself, she still has some impressions. My cousin in my memory often played with herself when she was a child. If she had anything delicious and funny, she would stick to herself first. Now after many years of seeing each other, there is still an inexplicable sense of closeness.


    At this time, I heard the exclamation of the second aunt, "Oh, leisurely, is this handkerchief embroidered by you? It''s a brilliant job. I''m afraid the best embroiderer in Baishan town can''t match it? "


    The second aunt also handed the embroidery to her sister-in-law, "sister-in-law, do you see what I said?" My aunt took over the embroidery and saw that there were two or three lotus leaves, one full open and one half open on the bottom of the light green plain yarn. Although they were not finished yet, they could see the main tone of bright and gorgeous, and the stitching was symmetrical and the color matching was lively. It was really right. Also nodded: "this craft is really can''t say, really excellent."


    Next, the two uncles and cousins, they also saw a circle, have the craft of leisurely praise. Leisurely also not embarrassed, but generous smile. When people saw her graceful and graceful, they all admired her.


    See the elders chatting there, leisurely with Xiuyun cousin to his room to play.


    Xiuyun saw her cousin''s needlework, and she admired her from the bottom of her heart. Seeing her invite each other, he followed her.


    When I got to Westinghouse, I asked my cousin to sit down on the Kang. Take out some snacks and melon seeds to eat for my cousin, and busy looking for a cup to pour water. After a bit of work, she sat down. Seeing that Xiuyun was still a little stiff, she found a topic at random. "By the way, why didn''t the eldest cousin come today? I haven''t seen two nephews either. "


    Xiuyun said, "my cousin took Guo''er and duo''er back to visit her mother''s family in the neighboring county a few days ago. By the way, she went to see the big brother in the lobby. It may take a while to come back."


    "Well, I''ll see you next time. What do cousins do for recreation at home? "


    "It''s nothing. It''s nothing more than needlework. Leisurely sister''s embroidery is really good. I used to think that my needlework was very good. Today when I saw my sister''s craftsmanship, I realized how ignorant I was before. "


    Leisurely smile "there are people outside, there are days outside.". My skill is in the countryside, and I can still bluff people. My former master''s work is much better than mine. "


    Hearing this, Xiuyun was surprised. "My sister''s work is so good. I don''t know what the better girl is like."


    Leisurely turned around, took out a purse from the box on the table and handed it to my cousin. "This is a purse given to me by the needlework master who used to be in the mansion. Her craftsmanship has been praised by the princess. Look at it."


    Xiuyun took the purse and saw a butterfly embroidered on it. The needle was as thin as hair, and the color was graceful. The kitten seemed to be alive. After observing carefully for a while, she exclaimed, "I used to hear that outstanding female workers can make flowers, birds, insects and fish embroidered vividly. I just thought it was exaggeration. I didn''t expect to see it today. It must be very valuable. My cousin, put it away quickly. " With that, he quickly pushed the purse toward leisurely.


    It can be seen that Xiuyun likes this purse very much, but she is so polite, leisurely can''t help but feel a little more good for her. She put the purse into Xiuyun''s hand. "Although this craft is rare, I still have a few such purses. Besides, this is meant to be given to you. In fact, the things inside are the gifts I want to give you. I didn''t expect that you were all on this purse. No wonder there is an allusion to "buy a pearl and return it."


    Xiuyun asked pleasantly, "is this really for me?"


    Leisurely nodded, "of course it''s true. Can I cheat you? You''re not the only one. I''ve prepared for my eldest cousin and her two nephews. I''ll trouble you to take them back for me later. "


    Xiuyun quickly nodded, "this is no problem. It''s on me."


    "Well, open it and have a look. Do you like the things inside?"

 Chapter 31

    Xiuyun opened it and found that it was a pink peony flower made of yarn, with a few white broken pearls dotted on the stamen. It looked like it was real and exquisite.


    Everyone loves beauty, and Xiuyun is no exception. "This flower is really beautiful."


    Leisurely smile "said, this is the end of last year our wife''s family sent, the wife gave us some, it is said that the palace out of the style."


    "It turned out to be something worn by the empress. No wonder it looks so good." As soon as she wanted to refuse, she said leisurely, "here you are, just take it. Don''t worry, I have a lot more. I can''t wear it alone. It will fade after a long time. Come on, I''ll put them on for you, and I''ll show them to my aunt. "


    Xiuyun wears peony flowers to the main room and turns around. As expected, she gets a lot of praise. She just wanted to thank her cousin, only to find that she went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. She also followed the past busy, can not be white cousin''s good things, have to do more work.


    It''s a pity that the two aunts and Lin''s mother didn''t give them the right chance, but they helped to choose the dishes and were driven out by them. The second aunt said, "well, you don''t need to be here. It''s not easy to keep both of you so white and tender. Don''t smoke them. Go back to Westinghouse, leisurely. Take this opportunity to point out your sister''s female workers. You don''t have to take out the Kung Fu of pressing the bottom of the box. You have a lot of knowledge. Just teach her casually will be enough for her


    See Aunt all said so, leisurely have to take Xiu cloud to own house again. I''ve heard from mother Lin that we have two uncles to take care of us these years. Otherwise, when the orphans and widows came back, how could they keep such a large ancestral home and more than ten acres of land. At that time, if he had not lost his uncle''s family, the original owner would not have been sold as a slave. Maybe my aunt just said it casually, but she put it leisurely in her heart.


    Leisurely look at Xiuyun carry a purse, embroiderer at this age is also rare, her embroiderer and Lin mother are from the same source, are inherited from her grandmother. But the needling method was relatively simple. Leisurely, he took out a piece of plain cloth and taught his cousin several less complicated needling methods and some simple skills. Xiuyun is a quick learner. She learns Kung Fu in a short time. It''s just that women workers have to work hard to be proficient in it, and those who know it for a while can only barely write it down.


    The two sisters teach and learn one by one. They talk and laugh, but they get along very well.


    While they were chatting, they suddenly heard the voice of a young woman in the yard: "Oh, I''m late. Don''t blame me, aunt. It''s all the fault of this smelly boy. He just changed his new clothes and wanted to take him out. As a result, he pulled a lot of stink. It''s all over me. I''ve just finished washing and drying my clothes, and I''m in a hurry. "


    Lin''s mother took the big fat boy she was holding in her left hand to her hand and said, "Oh, I haven''t seen him for a few days, and he''s sunk a lot. It''s hard for you to hold him so far. I just wanted your second brother to pick you up. "


    Leisurely and Xiuyun put down their work and came out from Westinghouse. Xiuyun shouts, "sister Xiulan, you''re here. This is cousin leisurely. "


    "I''ve met sister CYD." Leisurely just want to give cousin salute, was pulled by Xiulan "between our sisters, where to so many empty gift? I came several times yesterday, until I didn''t see you back in the dark, so I went home. If your nephew hadn''t been naughty, I would have come early this morning. Say you this wench really changed appearance, I remember when you were a child black and thin, did not expect to grow up so white. It''s a big change for women. "


    "No, sister Xiulan is the longer the more beautiful it is. My little nephew follows my cousin as soon as he sees it. He must be a handsome guy when he grows up."


    "You are such a sweet girl."


    At this time, the great aunt held her grandson and said, "OK, don''t be poor. I''ve been a mother, and I''m still so unstable. You are not ashamed to see that both your sisters are younger than you, but they are more stable than you. " Xiulan quickly said, "Oh, mother, leisurely sister is not easy to come back. You have to save face for me in front of my sister, or how can I be my sister. Thanks to my thick skin, I would have been angry with you. "


    The eldest aunt was angry and laughed, "you dead girl, you have a sharp tongue. Go and help your aunt clean up the table. It''s a good time to come, just in time for dinner. "


    Xiuyun said with a smile, "it''s better to be early than to be clever." Leisurely and Xiuyun also hurry to help.


    Just put the table, uncle and aunt also came. Even though this aunt is nearly 30 years old, she still looks quiet and elegant, but her uncle looks rough. They stand together, which is like a combination of beauty and beast.


    Leisurely and salute, make complaints about it in the heart. Aunt Lin pulled leisurely up and said, "good boy, just come back."


    The eldest aunt said, "it''s my niece who follows my aunt. I think leisurely looks like her aunt." Others look at it, don''t they? My aunt and nephew are very similar.


    At this time, a girl held her aunt in one hand and leisurely''s hand in the other, saying, "leisurely''s sister doesn''t know how long she is? Unexpectedly with the benefits of our Lin family, our nose and face are very similar to the second aunt. Unlike me, no matter how good the facial features are, with this big nose and big face plate, you will gain a lot of weight. "


    Leisurely see talking girl and she is about the same age, and aunt also have two or three similar, he asked with a smile, "this is tingran sister? I''ve heard your mother talk about you for a long time


    Perhaps because of the connection of blood, although the two sisters did not meet at first sight, they got along well.


    Now that all the people are here, Mrs. Lin opens the banquet. Because of the large number of people, they separated, and the men and women each sat at a full table.


    Lin''s mother made her favorite braised pork, and her great aunt made a stewed carp. In addition, there were stewed pork with radish, roasted bacon with lotus root, scrambled eggs with cucumber, bean curd with shallot, stir fried rape and cold Chinese toon sprouts. In addition, the old duck soup and duck meat cake brought by the great aunt, as well as the sauce pork brought by the aunt, are full of a large table of dishes, and the children are eating greasy.


    Soon after lunch, my uncle''s family was ready to leave. Their village is still more than an hour away. If you don''t go fast, you won''t be able to get home before dark.


    Lin''s mother didn''t keep her. Now her daughter is back, and there will be a time for reunion. She just brought back some snacks leisurely, and packed two baskets of vegetables picked in her yard for her two sisters-in-law.


    Both aunts knew that there was no shortage of vegetables in her family, so they accepted them.


    The aunt''s family stayed until it was almost dark. Their village is closer to home.


    In the evening, leisurely open everyone to her purse, found that others give more silver, silver and so on. Only the purse given by my aunt contained a pair of Red Gold Leaf Earrings.


    Leisurely and mother said, Lin mother let her put away, she put away.


    In the next few days, hearing the news of leisurely going home, the village''s seven aunts and eight aunts came over with all kinds of flags. Everyone was very curious about the big servant girls coming out of the Duke''s mansion.


    Leisurely although feel a little tired, but still patience to bear down, must come out with the big guy a greeting.

 Chapter 32

    Fortunately, after a few days, the days gradually calmed down.


    One day, after breakfast, Mrs. Lin said to her daughter, "I''m going to the town today to sell some embroidery work that I saved this month. You can come with me and buy some cloth for you to make some clothes. I think you''re wearing these clothes these days. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "you don''t need to buy cloth. I''ve brought back many more.". It''s just that someone has been coming these days, and I haven''t had time to do it yet. The clothes I used to wear at home are not suitable. But my mother''s clothes are old, so I should make some new clothes to wear. "


    Lin said, "I''m a half old woman. What new clothes do I wear? Besides, didn''t you just make two for me? But you are just the age of huaguduo. You should dress up well. The fabrics you brought back are all good things. It''s good to keep them for dowry later. "


    Leisurely still wanted to say something, but she was interrupted by Lin Mu, "well, you are so big, and your mother hasn''t bought anything for you. I can still afford a few pieces of cloth."


    After listening to Lin Mu''s words, leisurely didn''t refuse her any more kindness. It suddenly occurred to her that one of the fabrics she had brought back was a piece of brocade with twigs and peonies on it. She used it to make a coat for her mother. It was just a few days later that she could wear it when it was cold.


    The village where you ran''s family lives is called Xiaolin village. It''s only four or five miles from here to the town. The two women are going to walk. Their family is at the head of the village, and many people come and go. When I see them, I will stop and say a few words.


    Most of them are family members with relatives and relatives, and their questions are well intentioned. Although they are straightforward, they are not uncomfortable.


    Many families in the village were separated by the flood. It''s lucky for Youran to be a slave in a rich family. Many girls were sold to dirty places, and those who died in the disaster were even more ignorant. Although this dynasty tolerated women a lot, when the disaster came, almost all parents would save their sons first, and the daughter was often the one who was sacrificed.


    As for being a slave, will it be looked down upon? Leisurely at that time, he sold himself to save his mother''s life. This is definitely a filial act. Who can say what about her? In addition, "it''s better to marry a maid than a daughter from a small family." leisurely, she was a big girl in the capital''s Marquis''s residence, and her knowledge is far better than those of the big girls and little daughters-in-law in the village. Now it''s just leisurely coming back, and we don''t know her character and appearance. After a long time, the door-to-door matchmaker is afraid to break the door of the Lin family.


    Not long after they left the village, they happened to meet uncle Shuangfu and aunt Shuangfu who drove to the town to visit relatives. Aunt Shuangfu warmly took them with them.


    In the car, there are two women who are about the same age as you ran. After sitting down, Lin''s mother introduced leisurely one by one, "this driver is your uncle Shuangfu, this is your aunt Shuangfu. These two are your grandfather''s mother and sister Yulian, who went to our house that day. "


    "Leisurely smile" I remember, that day the aunt and the second and third aunts went to our house together, didn''t they? There seems to be another sister Yumei. " In other words, the names of these girls in my grandfather''s family are quite elegant, which is much better than those of Daya and Erniu. Lin''s mother said that his grandfather and leisurely''s grandfather are brothers. Several of his cousins usually take care of their orphans and widows, so they are very impressed with leisurely. Granny also lost her life in the flood, otherwise she would have to go to see her when she came back.


    Aunt said with a smile, "this girl has a good memory. Yumei is your second uncle''s daughter. What are you two going to do? "


    Lin''s mother said, "it''s not that I''ve saved some embroidery work. I want to sell it in the town. What about you two? "


    Lin Mu just asked this, leisurely saw the face of the jade lotus cousin brush suddenly red.


    But the old aunt readily replied, "it''s not Yulian. Her aunt told her a marriage. After five days, I decided to take her to pull a piece of cloth to make a new dress."¡° Oh, this is a happy event. It''s a pity that I can''t go that day. If it''s settled, you''ll have to give me a message. "


    "What can''t I do? I''ve already included you. And leisurely, you''ve come back from the capital. You must have more knowledge than us. Go and help your sister to see it. "


    Lin mother hesitated and said, "if you don''t let leisurely go, I''d better not go."


    The eldest aunt said, "OK, the eldest brother has been gone for so many years. Now your children are old, and you are not widowed. Besides, you are now the mother of a scholar. How respectable! What are you afraid of? You have to take advantage of these occasions to have more experience. If you want to marry a daughter-in-law for only a few years, how can you do it? "


    Auntie Shuangfu also said, "that is, as long as we are not in the first three years, who cares about that? Look at the couple in our village? In addition to the single, most of them are half way couples, and some of them have been married three times. Don''t you come out to do the same thing? Who cares like you


    After hearing this, mother Lin said, "well, since my sister-in-law looks up to me, I will take leisurely to help that day." In fact, the elder sister-in-law said that Mrs. Lin was also very excited. She used to think that she was a widow and avoided this kind of occasion as much as possible. But now that her children are going to talk to each other, if she didn''t know anything about it, how would she manage their wedding in the future? Now that the owner doesn''t care, what do you insist on?


    At this time, Mrs. Lin saw a basket with eggs and a piece of cloth at the foot of her daughter-in-law. I can''t help asking, "sister-in-law, are you going to the town to send a gift to your Dani?"


    The daughter-in-law said with a smile, "yes, Dani will be born in a month. I''m not with your brother. Go to see her while the field is not busy."


    Lin''s mother said with a smile, "Dani''s daughter is blessed. She gave birth to a big fat boy in her first child. This baby is good for both children and women."


    The daughter-in-law replied, "yes, as long as our daughter is safe, it''s just that her mother-in-law naturally likes her grandson. Dani has a son in front of her. She''s a steady child. "


    They talked and laughed and soon arrived in the town.


    When they got to the edge of the town, Shuangfu and his wife wanted to go east, so they got out of the car here.


    It''s about half a mile to the center of the town. Leisurely came to the ancient or the first time out shopping, see what also feel very fresh. She saw that the town was still very busy. The road was three or four meters wide and there were various shops on both sides of the road. There are rice shops, cloth shops, grocery stores, wood shops, tea shops, etc.

 Chapter 33

    Even if it doesn''t happen, there are a lot of people on the road. In this era, except for some big families, ordinary small families can''t help their girls to go out, so there are many big girls and little wives on the road.


    Because the things she wanted to buy coincided with each other, Mrs. Lin decided to go back together with her uncle and aunt later to have a company.


    The embroidery shop where Lin''s mother is going is just next to the cloth shop. Her aunt takes her daughter to see the cloth first, and then comes to find them after Lin''s mother has sold her purse.


    The scale of this embroidery shop is the largest in the town. It is the size of two shops, two floors up and down. The wooden sign of Liu''s embroidery shop is hanging at the door.


    Stepping into the door, Lin''s mother called to a young woman who was working on an abacus behind the counter, "Lady Liu."


    The woman raised her head and saw that it was Lin''s mother with a smile on her face. "Oh, it''s Lin''s aunt. You haven''t been here for a long time? Who''s next? "


    Lin Mu said with a smile, "this is my daughter. Just call her leisurely." Then he said to leisurely, "this is the landlady of Liuji embroidery village. Please call sister Liu."


    Leisurely came forward to see "Sister Liu is good."


    Liu Niangzi hurriedly replied, "is this the leisurely sister who came back from the capital Marquis''s residence? Tut Tut, I''m sure I''m from a wealthy family. I can''t compare with that in Baishan town. "


    "Well, don''t praise her. I''m here for business today. Look, I embroidered all these this month. " With that, mother Lin put the burden in her hand on the counter, opened it, and then pushed it to lady Liu''s side.


    Liu Niangzi said as she looked at it, "Auntie Lin''s craftsmanship is good. No wonder she can teach a scholar. All the embroidery work has the fragrance of books, which is more elegant than others. This is your ancestral skill. I think your niece Xiuyun has six or seven points of your skill. "


    Lin''s mother said with a smile, "yes, Xiuyun is more talented than me. Both of our female workers are taught by my mother, but she has only taught Xiuyun Kung Fu for three or four years. If she had been teaching until now, I''m afraid that child would have surpassed me. "


    Liu Niangzi said, "you are really joking. Xiuyun still lacks some experience, and this year''s talent still can''t catch up with you."


    Lin''s mother said with a smile, "what if you surpass me? It''s all my own children. Am I jealous of her? However, her skill is far worse than that of my daughter. Come, leisurely, and show your sister-in-law what you have done. "


    Leisurely in accordance with the words of his hand carrying a small burden on the counter to open. Leisurely doesn''t bring much embroidery work. It''s just the handkerchief she embroidered two days ago and some pockets she practiced hand embroidery in Shenfu. Today, she brings these to see how much they can sell. Can she realize her idea of relying on needlework to support herself?


    Although there were only a few pieces of embroidery, lady Liu still looked at them for a long time. She put down her purse and said, "Oh, it''s true that real people don''t show their faces. I''m afraid this kind of craft is also top-notch in the capital. I''m not willing to sell it. Aunt Lin really has a good daughter. Well, my aunt''s embroidery work is at the same price as before, with a purse of 50 Wen and a handkerchief of 30 Wen. The small Kang screen is only three liang of silver, and the total is four thousand and six hundred Wen. " Lin''s mother can sell embroidery every month, or she can''t save more than 30 taels of silver to redeem her daughter after giving up a scholar. In this era, it is very expensive for a scholar.


    Liu Niang Zi thought for a moment and said, "leisurely, this handkerchief is eight gondolas, and the purse is two gondolas. How about twenty taels of silver in all?" Even if you can''t exchange twenty taels of silver for twenty taels, it''s almost the same. At this time, five Liang silver is enough for a family of three to live a fat year. Lin''s mother didn''t expect that her daughter''s work was so valuable. Seeing that her daughter didn''t object, she went back to "Lady Liu has always been a bright person, so that''s it."


    Liu Niangzi saw Lin''s mother and daughter behave generously, leisurely and leisurely. She was not moved to hear that the embroidery had been sold for so much money. She thought that she had come out of a wealthy family. Look at the calmness of the family. She was eager to win over the outstanding craftsman leisurely. She did not mean to calculate the price difference between copper and silver. She gave twenty-four liang of silver and six hundred Wen of copper directly. At this time, ordinary people use copper money. Although it is generally said that a crane of money can be exchanged for one or two silver, in fact, it often takes a crane of tens of Wen to exchange for one or two silver. This is still in peace and prosperity. In case of famine and war, one or two silver coins can be exchanged for a hanging of copper coins with one or two hundred pennies. After all, silver is lighter to carry.


    In this small town, such a large amount of silver is enough. Liu''s money is generally on the goods. Liu Niang Zi even used her private money, but she was not a fool. She made a small screen with a nice frame and sent it to Fucheng. She could earn at least ten liang of silver.


    Lin''s mother shoves the twenty taels of silver ingot directly to you ran. You ran sees that there are other people in the shop, so she doesn''t give in too much. I just want to give it to Lin Mu after I go back.


    Leisurely did not rush to collect money, but in the shop to choose some of the best embroidery. Liu Niangzi took a look at the embroidery thread she chose. It was only a few tens of Wen in total, and she said generously, "it''s not worth much money, so I''ll give it to my sister. As long as my sister sells it to me after she embroiders."


    Leisurely declined a time, see Liu Niang son to insist on so then all right. She also knew in her heart that the price given by Lady Liu must have a large profit margin, otherwise she would not be so generous. Before leaving, leisurely said to lady Liu, "leisurely, I''d like to ask my sister-in-law to agree."


    Lady Liu was a little surprised. "What''s the matter? Leisurely sister, you said


    Leisurely way "I sent today embroidery income silver also please Liu sister-in-law confidentiality, leisurely do not want to cause unnecessary trouble."


    On hearing this, lady Liu admired leisurely even more. She said solemnly, "sister, don''t worry. Even if you don''t ask me, I won''t tell you. If it''s known by peers, you don''t have many people to raise the price with me? Then I''ll lose a lot. "


    The mother and daughter of the Lin family laughed.


    After the mother and daughter left, they came to the Chenji cloth shop next door.


    In the cloth shop, Auntie and Yulian are facing a light red cloth with lotus pattern and a light green cloth with broken flowers. They are in a dilemma. Seeing leisurely mother and daughter coming, the aunt said, "come on, let''s see which of the two pieces of cloth looks better. Our mother has been making a fuss, but we haven''t chosen it for a long time."


    Lin''s mother thought for a moment and then said, "the jade lotus is white and clean. It looks good in any color. But since it''s a happy event, it''s time to dress up brightly. "


    Auntie nodded, "that''s the truth, shopkeeper. Let''s pull a piece of this material."


    Next, Lin Mu wants to pick the light green cloth with broken flowers for you, but she refuses. She chose a plain cloth of light purple and light blue. In fact, the quality of the cloth she brought back is better than these, but it''s too eye-catching to wear in the village.


    Although the fabrics leisurely picked are not patterned, they are all fine cotton, which is much more expensive than the one my aunt bought for Yulian. Two pieces of cloth cost 300 Wen, but Lin''s mother did not hesitate to pay the copper.


    Seeing this, my aunt could not help but smack her tongue. This younger sister-in-law really gave up money. It seems that her embroidery work earned a lot of money.


    If she knew the price of leisurely embroidery, she would be even more surprised.

 Chapter 34

    After buying the cloth, my aunt went to the silver building and bought a pair of small silver cloves and a small silver hairpin with peony head for her daughter. The eldest aunt thinks that her daughter is going to look at each other. It''s time to dress up. All these things can be used as dowries in the future.


    Lin''s mother also wants to buy two pieces of jewelry for you, but she is stopped by you. Lin''s mother thought about all the jewelry her daughter wore when she just came back. She knew that her daughter was afraid she couldn''t look up to the town, so she didn''t insist on it any more. She just thought that she would go to the county to buy two good ones for her daughter after a while.


    After shopping, we went home together.


    After coming back from the town, leisurely began to be busy. August 29 is Mrs. Shen''s birthday. Although she is no longer a slave in Shen''s house, she doesn''t intend to break the contact with Shen''s house. After all, in this era, it is very important to have a strong backing. Shen Fu is undoubtedly the biggest backer she can find now.


    August is the season when osmanthus is in full bloom. What she prepared for Mrs. Shen is a large screen with golden osmanthus pattern. Today''s embroidery patterns are mostly peony, hibiscus and other flowers. Few people can embroider flowers like osmanthus. First, it''s really hard to embroider the petals of this small flower. The main thing is that the pattern is hard to find. But leisurely can draw the flower appearance, naturally does not feel difficult.


    Although most of the embroidery had been finished in Shen Fu, the rest will be finished in a month. Only after August, September 16 is Miss Fang''s birthday, and she has to prepare her birthday ceremony. Now it''s early June, and there are less than three months left for mounting.


    Therefore, overall, the leisure time is still very tight.


    Leisurely told his plan to Lin Mu, and Lin Mu He agreed: "you think very well. You have been in that mansion for so many years. Ladies treat you very well. You should bother to prepare gifts for them. You can do your work with ease. I am responsible for everything at home. "


    Leisurely hesitating, he said, "in this way, I can''t do my homework."


    Lin''s mother said with a smile, "good boy, you can''t worry about these. We still have more than ten mu of land, and the money I earn is enough for daily use. Hengli, your brother has already handed in his bundle of studies this year, and he often helps the college copy books, which is enough for his own pocket money. Besides, I still have more than 30 taels of silver that I have saved these years to redeem you. Two days ago, we had asked someone to look at each other. If there is suitable good land, we will buy a few mu more. I''ll save you some dowry. "


    Leisurely quickly lowered his head and whispered, "what does mother say? However, since mother wants to buy land, she might as well buy more. I have also accumulated some silver in my residence these years. I''ll take another hundred taels later, plus twenty taels from today''s Embroidery sale and thirty taels from my mother. That''s a total of 150 taels of silver. I can buy more than 20 acres of good land. With the 100 mu of land awarded by my wife, the harvest of these fields will be enough for our daily use, and my mother doesn''t have to work so hard. "


    Lin mother quickly refused, "how good is this? Your silver is what you have worked hard to save over the years. It''s better to keep it as a dowry in the future. How can I spend your money? "


    Leisurely exhorted, "mother, don''t refuse. Isn''t it right for me to be my daughter''s filial mother? What''s more, silver is dead in your hand. If you buy land, you will get some harvest every year. "


    After leisurely repeated persuasion, Lin''s mother accepted her daughter''s kindness, but she also had her own idea in her heart.


    It happened that a family in the village had made a fortune by doing business in the county. They were ready to move to the county. They wanted to sell all the land in the village, leaving only the ancestral house. His family has more than 30 acres of good farmland, and the market price is 7 Liang silver per mu. Because they are sold to fellow villagers, the owner wants 62.1 mu. Lin Mu spent all her savings to buy 25 mu, and the rest was bought by other people in the village.


    And there are 20 mu of land in the title deed that Lin Mu took home, which has written leisurely''s name, which makes leisurely very moved. In this era, most mothers prefer boys to girls. Some people want to peel their daughters off several layers to subsidize their sons. It''s rare for Lin Mu to love her so much. And leisurely also talked with Lin Mu, the land can be recorded in his name, but the annual harvest is still used to supplement the family. After all, my younger brother will take the imperial examination in the future, get married, have children and so on. The big spenders are all behind him, so I always have to think about him.


    It''s not a leisurely way to spend your own money on others. But the world is like this. If a woman has a promising brother, her life in her mother-in-law''s family will be much better. Even if, compared with the history of women''s imprisonment has been much smaller, but there are still many unfair.


    In the so-called "equality between men and women" of modern times, men and women are not really equal, let alone in this feudal society?


    Now that you''re here, you have to follow the rules here. This is the most basic law of survival.


    Soon to the day of the jade lotus blind date, leisurely did not show up, just asked his mother to bring a delicate flower.


    When Lin''s mother came to Yulian''s house, she saw that the house was clean inside and outside. And Yulian is shyly standing at the door of the hall, being teased by a group of seven aunts and eight aunts.


    Seeing that Lin''s mother came by herself, Yu Lian''s mother quickly asked, "why did my sister-in-law come by herself? Didn''t you say Youran would come? "


    Lin''s mother came up to Yu Lian Niang''s ear and said in a low voice, "that child is just a child. It''s inconvenient to come here. He''s just at home."


    The jade lotus mother said regretfully, "Oh, that''s really not a coincidence. However, if this time we are engaged, we must let her come. " Mother Lin answered with a smile.


    Hearing leisurely something can''t come over, Yulian doesn''t know whether she should be happy or lost. Happy is, leisurely regardless of appearance bearing all wants to be stronger than oneself, she does not come will not snatch own limelight. What''s lost is that she always has a good heart for leisurely. Originally, she wanted to take this opportunity to have more contact with her and deepen her feelings. Unexpectedly, she didn''t come.


    However, when Yulian saw the exquisite headdress brought by leisurely Tuolin''s mother, she was only happy. This is a rose red peach blossom made of gauze. The gauze Satin makes the red look a little more hazy and beautiful, and the workmanship is lifelike. At first glance, it is not something that can be found in the countryside. Lin mother will help the head flower jade lotus hairpin to the head, immediately gave her a bit of glory.


    Hear the side of a praise, Yulian thought leisurely sister is still very good, willing to give himself such a beautiful flower.

 Chapter 35

    On the other hand, after drinking a bowl of ginger black tea, he went to the kitchen to mix chicken food and feed it in the backyard. When Lin Mu left, she let leisurely close the door from the inside, so leisurely didn''t have to worry that someone would come in suddenly.


    After these days of experience, leisurely has been able to do everything, such as laundry, cooking, feeding livestock, sweeping and so on. Although Lin''s mother always let leisurely have more rest, how can she see Lin''s mother busy by herself.


    Two sows have been fed by Lin Mu in the morning. Now we just need to feed a few chickens. The Lin family raised 13 chickens, including 11 hens and two cocks. Because of the careful feeding, these 11 hens can lay at least eight or nine eggs a day. Except for what they eat, the rest of Lin''s mother praised taking them to the market to exchange some copper money to subsidize the family.


    Pour the chicken food into the basin, and pick up the eggs in the chicken nest while they are eating happily. Lucky today, there are ten eggs.


    After picking up the eggs, you can see that although there are chicken shed and pig shed in the backyard, there is still a lot of space. If you have the chance, you can raise another ewe. It''s good to drink more milk.


    Leisurely also want to do embroidery screen in the air and then do something to tie a yarn, spend what''s good, earn some pocket money to subsidize the family. Lin''s mother said that Enron would take the entrance examination next autumn. If she could pass, she would be serious. Compared with the hospital examination, the government examination costs more money. Moreover, if he wins the examination, it will cost less to go to the capital to participate in Chunwei. As a scholar, you can''t just memorize by rote. You spend more money on going out for social activities. As a sister, you have to help.


    Back to his room, leisurely will be in Shen Fu De before a palm size red sandalwood box out. In the box were scattered small beads of various colors and broken gemstones. The big ones were the size of mung beans, while the small ones were the size of rice grains. These were all saved by leisurely when he was on duty in the government. At that time, leisurely, as a big servant girl, despised these things, but now it is a good thing. The quality of the scattered jewels in this box she saved is excellent. Although she can''t make big jewels, it can''t be better to wear pearls. She still has some bigger beads, but she is not willing to take them out and make them into a flower. These are enough.


    It took me a whole morning to wear a pair of beautiful Hibiscus pattern beads and hairpins, pile up several exquisite headdresses with gauze and satin, and make a few strings. Luozi is also different from the common one, which is the pattern of four seasons blooming and five blessings holding longevity.


    At noon, leisurely under the point of noodles to eat, and in the yard to see for a while open is Yan peony, peony flowers, rest eyes, then took out the embroidery screen to continue to embroider.


    When Lin''s mother came back in the afternoon, she saw that the Osmanthus fragrans and leaves on the embroidery screen had already been embroidered, leaving only the most difficult pair of partridges. It''s not difficult to finish the embroidery of flowers and birds, but it''s much more difficult to be wonderful.


    The weather is still a little hot, leisurely every time before taking the needle, you have to wash your hands with warm water. You dare not wipe any balm on your hands for fear that your palms will sweat and stain the silk thread.


    Lin''s mother nodded when she saw that the half embroidered golden partridge, though only in its rudiment, had a good look. Her daughter had such a good embroidery skill that she had a foothold in the future.


    After several years of practice, leisurely has been more in line with the body, and the level of needlework is also higher. In Lin Mu''s words, it is now leisurely embroidered out of things, a look is very aural.


    Seeing Lin Mu''s happy face, she poured out a cup of warm water and handed it to her mother. She asked, "but sister Yulian''s marriage is settled?"


    Lin''s mother nodded after two drinks of water. "That''s right, or I would have come back long ago. Both sides are right, and the elders have no problem. The village of the younger generation is only ten miles away from us. The two Chuang Tzu have relatives with each other. They all know the root and the bottom. Your aunt and the man''s mother decided on the spot. I didn''t tell you that. Of course you don''t know that. We all like to see each other before we get married. In order to show the dignity of the daughter, the man usually comes to the woman''s home with a gift. If the two families meet, the woman will leave the man''s gift and then entertain him. If the woman doesn''t have a date, she will refuse the other party''s gift and deliver tea to the guests; If the man doesn''t like the woman, he will leave five fish balls for the woman, which means "no chance". Like today, it''s a small decision. In a few days, the man will come to give the bride price and make a big decision. After the decision is made, the marriage can''t go back at will. " Leisurely suddenly realized "so it is." It seems that at this time, it''s still very open, and we can have a blind date.


    Seeing that her daughter was busy with her work while she was talking to herself, Mrs. Lin said painfully, "it doesn''t matter if you do it slowly. Don''t be tired if you embroider for such a long time every day. What''s more, it''s not good for your eyes to do too much. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "mother, don''t worry. I know that I can do three hours'' work at most every day. I get up and walk every half an hour. I can''t get tired. Besides, the birthdays of Madam Hou and Miss Shen are not far away. If I don''t hurry up, I''m afraid I can''t finish it. After these two months, it''s not too late to have a good rest. "


    Lin Mu saw that she was determined to do so, so she had to go.


    Although leisurely doesn''t like to go out, she is mild tempered and knowledgeable. Both tingran and Yulian like to be with her very much.


    It''s a pity that Yulian has been engaged. It''s not easy for the girl to go out. She is seventeen years old this year, and her marriage is scheduled for next autumn. She doesn''t have much time to play. After all, she will start to embroider wedding clothes from now on. In addition to her own wedding dress, she had to make two sets of everyday color clothes. It''s not easy to make clothes, shoes and stockings for the bridegroom, and shoes for the future parents in law and sisters in law.


    That day, Lin''s mother took a ride to the county to see her son. Leisurely at home, is doing embroidery work, tingran carrying a basket of melons came. As soon as I entered the door, she said with a smile, "I saw my second aunt waiting for the carriage by the side of the road in the morning. She told me that you were at home today and asked me to play with you." Leisurely took the basket in her hand, "elder sister, just come here and take things with you. How can you pick so many melons? It''s very heavy. Please sit down and have a rest."


    Tingran waved her hand. "Just these steps, how can we rest. This melon was just picked this morning. It''s gone after picking. This melon has a thick skin. It can be kept in the cellar for a month or two. If you can''t finish eating it, you can save it first. What are you doing at home? "


    When you finish, you can see a new embroidered picture of pomegranate, which is being embroidered by you ran. Clusters of pomegranates are bright red, and the crystal clear pomegranate seeds are exposed in the split mouth. They are lifelike. They can''t tell the true from the false when they are put together with the pomegranate tree in you ran''s yard, which is really pleasing. Tingran fondled her hand and said, "I used to feel that I could hold my hand very well. As a result, I feel guilty every time I see your embroidery. No wonder your aunt asked me to learn from you all day. What you embroidered is beautiful! It''s a pretty good flower. It''s unconventional. Hey, where did you get it? "

 Chapter 36

    Leisurely smile back "this pattern is my own painting, do you want to embroider?" Tingran nodded, "well, it happened that there was no work in the field during this period, so I wanted to do some embroidery work to earn some private money. It takes time to embroider a purse, but it costs less money. It''s better to directly embroider a large piece. I think the pattern you embroidered has a very good meaning. The embroidery workshop is willing to accept this kind of festive pattern. "


    After that, he took out a picture book from the cupboard at the head of the bed and handed it to his cousin. "I want to keep this picture as a gift. It''s not suitable for you. Look, there are several pomegranate embroidered paintings in this book. Do you like any of them? "


    Originally tingran heard that she couldn''t use the flower, but she was slightly unhappy. But when she opened the picture book leisurely gave her, she was not willing at all. As she looked at it, she asked, "did you draw all the patterns in it?"


    Seeing leisurely nodding her head, she tut tut said, "Hey, you''ve compared all the tricks my mother has saved for decades. Why do you think so? Although I know a few words, I don''t know anything about painting. No wonder people say that "it''s better to marry a servant girl than a girl from a small family". How nice it is to be a servant girl and learn to read and draw? I want to be a maid. "


    Leisurely smile "when the maid who you think so good? When I first went into the mansion, I was a servant girl. I didn''t have any foundation in the mansion. I was sent to do the dirtiest and most tiring sweeping work. It''s better in summer. I''ll get up and sweep the courtyard at dawn in winter. If it snows, it''s even worse. Before the master gets up, we should sweep the ground clean. As long as you pull down a little snowflake, you may be scolded and deducted monthly money, or you may be hit by the board, and your hands will freeze. If I had not saved my wife''s nephew and been transferred to the inner courtyard, how could I not be sure now? You don''t know, although it was in March, the lake was still icy cold. I tried my best to drag master Han out of the lake, and I was very tired. When I went back, I fell ill. I had a high fever for seven or eight days in a row. Others thought I couldn''t live. At that time, I didn''t have any consciousness at all. Maybe I didn''t want to live. Who thought, finally woke up. Later, when I thought about it, it seemed that I met my father in my dream. My father''s spirit must have protected me. From then on, I gradually got up smoothly. I became a big servant girl from a small one and had the chance to learn skills. What''s the fear of people who have died once? I have the cheek to ask xiuniang for advice. When the young ladies go to school, they learn calligraphy and painting. At least they have learned something. "


    Although this experience is original, but leisurely now looking back, I feel sad and hard to bear. Since her return, although the elders are kind to her. But she could feel that several girls of the same age were envious of her, and some of the shallow eyed words about her private room were prevaricated by her. Fortunately, now my younger brother is a scholar in the exam. Most people don''t dare to offend her at leisure. When she said these words today, she wanted to let others know that she fought for her life today. No one needs to be jealous.


    After hearing this, tingran''s eyes are moist. She is the youngest daughter in the family and has been loved since childhood. Although the flood had an impact on tingran''s family, she didn''t suffer any substantial damage under the protection of her parents and brother. As a little girl who has been pampered and brought up, suddenly she has a cousin who is better than herself, and she is more or less envious in her heart. If it wasn''t for her carefree and generous nature, and she didn''t care about everything, they wouldn''t be able to play together.


    Tingran is a little arrogant, but she is kind-hearted. Today, after listening to her cousin''s words, she knows how ridiculous she is. Other people''s things come in exchange for life. What can she be envious of? She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, took leisurely hand and said, "good sister, it''s all my fault that reminds you of sad things¡® If you don''t die in great danger, you''ll have a happy future. "


    Leisurely doesn''t want to continue this topic. She points to the picture album in front of her and says, "it''s all over. Let''s not talk about it. Sister, look at the flowers. Do you like them? " So the two sisters happily talked about the appearance of the flower, and finally tingran chose a picture of the rich flower of Begonia. Although the painting looks magnificent and tacky, it takes a lot of effort to embroider. But it is more suitable for tingran''s level, this piece of embroidery as long as the color matching is good, it will be more brilliant.


    Others, such as Jiangnan misty rain, red leaves and landscape, are elegant and fresh, but tingran''s current level of embroidery can''t control it. She was very self-conscious, so she chose this relatively simple pattern. Moreover, patterns like this may feel a little vulgar. But in Baishui Town, there is still a good market. Tingran takes a pen to put away the pattern, and sees leisurely still working hard there. I can''t help saying, "good sister, you have a rest too. I''ve been here for an hour, and I haven''t seen you take a rest. Be careful, your eyes will be damaged. Let''s go. Let me show you around. "


    Leisurely press the sour neck, smile and say "OK, where to go?"


    Tingran thought for a while and said, "I haven''t seen sister Yulian for a long time. I don''t know how her wedding dress is embroidered. Let''s go and have a look at her."


    So, a little clean up, leisurely lock the door, two people together went to Yulian home. Yulian''s home is only a few hundred meters away from leisurely''s home, and they arrive after walking for a while.


    When they arrived, Yulian''s mother, Zhou, was sitting at the gate, taking care of the soles of her shoes while watching her grandson playing at the gate. Seeing them coming, he said warmly, "you two are here. Yulian is in the West Wing room. Go in and play."


    Seeing them coming, Yulian was also very happy. She asked them to sit down. She went to the main room to make a pot of tea and brought a plate of fresh peanuts just pulled out of the field. At this time, the peanuts are not very solid, but they are very crisp and tender. Leisurely tasted one, felt some unexpected sweetness, then ate a few more.


    Tingran also ate a few, and then asked, "sister Yulian, I heard my mother say that the wedding dress material that my mother had sent someone to bring back from the capital that day was worth two liang silver for a piece three feet long. It''s beautiful. You can show it to us. "


    Jade lotus side scolds with smile "have no you this wench not curious." While from the cabinet, carefully take out a blue burden, open, shake off a big red silk with twig peony pattern. The fabric is bright in color and beautiful in design. It''s placed at the door and shining in the sunlight. Although it can''t compare with the rare fabrics such as brocade and damask, it''s not vulgar.


    Two people praised one time, jade lotus carefully put away again. Tingran said with a smile, "sister Yulian, why don''t you start to embroider the wedding dress and put it away?"


    After hearing this, Yulian blushed and nodded her head. "You girl, I''m here. I''ll see if I can spare you when you make an engagement in the future. "


    Tingran quickly grabbed Yulian''s hand and said, "good sister, I''m wrong, can''t I?" The jade lotus annoys her one eye "come on, lazy and you see the same thing."


    Then he said, "you two are just in time. Please help me to think about what kind of patterns this material can embroider. I''ve been dizzy at the flowers these two days, and I haven''t found a suitable one. "

 Chapter 37

    Hearing this, Ting ran couldn''t help laughing, "this time, you can be regarded as meeting the real God." Then he pointed to leisurely and said, "I don''t know much about this. Sister leisurely is an expert. Please ask her."


    Yulian also looks at leisurely. "The yarn flower that my sister sent me last time is also very delicate. It''s no surprise that I want to come to embroider. Good sister, you''ve been in Beijing for many years and you''ve seen a lot of things. Please help me to have a look. I''m worried to death. "


    Leisurely waved his hand and said, "I don''t know much, but I''ve seen more of the world than my two sisters. Since my sister doesn''t dislike me, I''ll talk about my humble opinion. It''s up to my sister to think about it. "


    Then he pointed to the folded cloth and said, "sister, this material is already very gorgeous. If you embroider some flowers on it, it will be more abrupt. If not only in the skirt cuff inlaid with a wide edge, with gold thread embroidered on a circle of festive patterns. It not only shows the embroidery work, but also saves the waste of the pattern of the material itself. What does sister Yulian think? "


    Yulian said with a smile, "you are still in a good mood. I never thought of it again. Just do as my sister said. It''s just that our family can''t afford the golden thread. "


    Leisurely smile "I said so casually, both to show embroidery, it can''t be red, golden, orange."


    "Well, I happen to have a lot of yellow and apricot silk threads here. In the afternoon, I asked my mother to help me cut the material, and I did as my sister said."


    The three sisters discussed the appearance of the flowers again. At noon, leisurely, they left and went home. Although aunt Zhou is eager to keep them for dinner, Yulian''s sister-in-law is reluctant. The bowl in her hand is clanging. They are both kind-hearted people. How can they be willing to stay here to see people coldly? Therefore, he insisted on leaving.


    After the two of them left, Zhou took a look at his daughter-in-law, Zhang, and said, "now that you are capable, I can''t be your master. Let him talk to you when the boss comes back in the evening."


    After that, he went into the main room and stopped looking at her. He asked his daughter and grandson to have dinner. Although Zhang was a little uneasy, he felt that he had done nothing wrong. He felt calm when he thought about it.


    But in the evening, Xianggong Lincheng came back and learned about it. When he came back to the house, he scolded her. The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he was. He couldn''t help crying, "just two little girls. They''re not precious people. They didn''t help us when they came to our house, but they talked and laughed with my sister-in-law for a while, and they would stay for lunch at noon. If they came every day, wouldn''t they manage our meals every day? Together, my sister-in-law, Jin Gui, even her companions follow Jin Gui? "


    "What do you mean by that?"


    "What do I mean? My parents have already prepared so much dowry for my sister-in-law before the bride price. It costs two liang silver for a piece of fabric that is big enough to be slapped, not counting other clothing materials. We are not big families. Can we afford to spend like this? Besides, the furniture cost only 34 liang of silver. Plus the silver for bedding, jewelry and pressing boxes, it can''t add up to 23 liang? "


    Lin Cheng said, "OK, no more. I see. You are just jealous of your sister. "


    Zhang''s airway: "I ask myself that I''m not such a mean person, but my parents are too eccentric. How many betrothal gifts did I get when I passed by? My sister-in-law never does heavy work on weekdays. After all, she is a big girl. She needs to be clean and easy to find someone else. But it would be too much for her to take the silver. How much money does our family have now? Together, when my aunt is married, we will have no more time? "


    Lin Cheng sighed, "it''s still money! Don''t worry. It doesn''t cost her parents much money to get married. She has a lot of private money. My parents can''t empty out the whole family. "


    Zhang does not believe "where does the remaining silver come from? The bride price has not been paid yet? " Lin Cheng sneered, "that''s why my mother wants to woo those two cousins. Do you know how much money my little sister can earn each month just by embroidery?"


    "How much?"


    "At least a sling of money, when there is more, you can get two liang of silver. Half of the money she earns goes to her family and half to herself. Over the past few years, if there is more, we can save more than three or forty Liang. " Lin Cheng took a sip of tea and said slowly.


    Zhang was surprised and asked, "can my little sister make so much money doing embroidery? Don''t deceive me. I''ve also sold a purse. One purse only costs four or five Wen. I can make three or four at most in a day. I''m so tired that I can''t earn two liang silver in a month, can I? "


    Lin Cheng looked at her and said, "you can''t even embroider with your skill. What can you earn? My little sister can embroider. Can you give me a price for the smooth purse and the embroidered one? "


    Zhang said, "so it is. I don''t go to my little sister''s house at leisure. I didn''t expect her to be so skilled. Just, what does this have to do with them? "


    Lin Cheng said, "my mother''s girl is ordinary. How can I teach my little sister? Her needlework was learned from the second aunt there when she was a child, and her aunt also gave her advice. This is a family skill. Even if my little sister only learned a little, it would be enough for her to be useful all her life. This time, the little sister can set such a good fiance, her craftsmanship also accounts for most of the credit. My mother can not be grateful to others for a lifetime? Moreover, not to mention that Enron was a scholar when he was young. Leisurely, he came out of the capital''s Marquis''s house. He used to be Mrs. Hou''s servant girl. Even if he came out, he always had some fragrant feelings there. Let''s be polite now. If we get into any trouble in the future, we can talk, can''t we? "


    Zhang nodded, "so it is. I think it''s wrong. I''ll go to apologize with my mother tomorrow. Speaking of it, this leisurely sister is really different from us. It''s the same as walking. People will look better when they walk. "


    "Oh, I didn''t notice that. OK, I''ve been tired all day outside, and I still have to be angry with your mother-in-law when I come back. It''s really... "


    "Come on, honey, I''m wrong. You go out to work hard. Come on, I''ll press it for you. "


    The little disturbance of Yulian''s family passed like this. When leisurely went to Yulian''s house again, he felt that Zhang''s words were much more polite, and he didn''t pay attention to them. He just continued to live her life. In addition to doing what we can, it''s all about embroidery.


    That piece of durian kaibaizi is not big, but it has been embroidered in ten days. Most of the embroidery for Fang Xinsu has been finished. Leisurely, I remember Fang Xinsu said that she loved Du Mu''s poems most, so she chose one of Du Mu''s most famous poems, a trip to the mountains, drew more than ten paintings according to the artistic conception of the poem, and finally chose her favorite one as the manuscript and embroidered it. Now, it''s already in its infancy.

 Chapter 38

    With enough time, leisurely is finally in the mood to study some other things. No, she has been marinating cowpeas for the last two days.


    The cowpeas planted by Lin Mu are growing very well this year. It''s the end of July, and they are still popping out one after another. Even their mother and daughter can''t eat a lot of them at home. Give it away. Basically every family has planted it, and it''s hard to sell it in rural areas.


    Seeing that Lin Mu was very worried, he took the cowpeas down. According to the memory of previous life, began to make sour beans.


    First take a clean oil-free pot, pour in enough water, add pepper, dry red pepper, salt, star anise, bring to a boil and let cool. Take another large clean oil-free pot and boil water. Blanch the washed cowpea until it is cooked. Drain the water and put it in a clean jar. Pour the pepper water on it until the cowpea is completely submerged. Pour some cold boiled water at the mouth of the jar and keep it sealed. You can eat it in 20 days.


    Every day there are constantly mature cowpeas. It took me half a month to marinate all the cowpeas at home. Looking at the black jar in the corner of the kitchen, I clapped my hands leisurely, and finally it was a great success.


    But every time Lin Mu came to the kitchen and saw the black jars, she wanted to cover her eyes. Without it, the jars were too expensive. Leisurely chose the best jars and jars in tanzipu. Each jar is 30 Wen, which is acceptable. But the small jars were fifty Wen each, and Mrs. Lin had a toothache. If she didn''t worry about the girl''s face, she really wanted to let the delivery shop man pull back on the spot.


    Fortunately, with leisurely and energetic commitment, and careful use of this thing for many years, Lin''s mother gradually calmed down.


    When Lin''s mother visited her son in the Academy again, she brought her son a can of pickled beans and stewed chicken feet, in addition to the usual dry food and meat sauce. Lin''s mother said to her son with a smile, "your sister knows that you study hard, so she bought chicken feet and pig feet with her own money. Let me bring you ten stewed eggs. I''m afraid that you will lose. It''s delicious. You peel it when you eat it, and you can eat it after a while with hot water. "


    Enron grabs his head. "Well, it smells good. Mother, you go back to thank my sister for me. I''ll just have something to eat at the Academy. Don''t let my sister spend more money. "


    Lin''s mother said with a happy smile, "your sister has more than 100 mu of land. You don''t have to worry about her because the autumn harvest is coming. Besides, since your sister came back, our family is much wider now. You usually eat something good in the Academy. Don''t be too bad for yourself. Although reading is good, health is also very important. "


    Enron nodded and told her mother that the Academy would be off in about ten days, and told her mother not to come again. Lin''s mother answered, and they said something, and Lin''s mother went back. She came in a carriage with other mothers of students in the town. She was afraid that others would be worried if she was late.


    Send mother away, safely with things back to the residence. Just at lunch time, several students in one room went to the canteen of the college for lunch, leaving only one Li Wenbo, who was eating hard steamed bread with boiled water and pickled vegetables.


    The Bailang academy, where Enron studied, was located in a remote place and built on the hillside. There is nothing to sell around. Students either bring their own food or go to the canteen of the college. Of course, the children of large families will naturally have servants to deliver three meals a day on time. The children of ordinary families will not be so spoiled, and those who can afford to eat in the canteen are in good condition. Li Wenbo is one of the poor families whose children can''t even afford to eat in the canteen. They can only bring some steamed bread and pickles from home.


    Enron put the food on the table in the middle of the room, "brother Li, don''t eat that. Come and have a taste of the bittern my mother just sent me. "


    Although Li Wenbo is a bit pedantic, he has a feeling of sympathy because his father died early like Lin Enron. So the friendship between them was pretty good. At the moment, they were not polite to Enron. They took a chicken paw from Enron and ate it. After a few bites, he praised "my aunt''s craftsmanship has improved again."


    Lin Enron shook his head with a smile. "You''re wrong this time. My sister made these stews. My sister also pickled some sour beans, but it''s delicious. It''s just a little spicy. Try it. " Li Wenbo can eat spicy food. He is also embarrassed to eat meat tightly. The sour and spicy beans are just appetizing. With this, he ate a big steamed bread brought by Lin Mu. Enron know his temperament, from time to time to give him a pig''s hoof, a marinated egg or something.


    They were eating happily there, and the others in the same room came back. A classmate complained that "the food in the college is getting worse and worse, and the fried food doesn''t even have a drop of oil."


    Another interface is, "isn''t that right? That soup can show people. " Two or three voices echoed.


    At the beginning, the voice opened the door and saw the two people enjoying themselves. They exclaimed, "you two, you are eating alone here! It''s just natural. " With that, he quickly picked up two chicken feet and a pig''s hoof from the bittern flavored oil paper bag. Other people also smell the fragrance and rush in.


    The table that was full just now was almost empty, leaving only some steamed bread and sour beans.


    Fortunately, Enron was quick. Just before they came in, he grabbed a few chicken feet. Otherwise, he would not have enough to eat now.


    Give Li Wenbo one. Enron is just about to chew his chicken feet. In the opposite room, a young man in a brocade robe rushed in and grabbed the last chicken claw in his hand. "Well, you don''t call me when you eat good food." Other people glared at him one after another, "Cheng Zijun, you eat well every day, and even come to grab food with us. I''m really ashamed." When the youth didn''t hear it, he ate half a piece of steamed bread with sour beans after eating chicken feet. After eating, he patted his belly with satisfaction. "This cowpea pickle is really delicious, light and refreshing. Aunt, you are so good at craftsmanship. Enron, you really have a good mouth. " When other people want to take the first wave after eating, the bittern has been divided up.


    As the saying goes, "half a kid eats poor Lao Tzu". When he was a teenager, he was able to eat. On weekdays, he had no money in the Academy. Occasionally smell meat, who can resist?


    I beg your pardon? How polite are you on weekdays?


    Well, that''s the external image. Saints have said that dullele is not as good as zhonglele. They are all classmates and friends. How do you mean to eat alone?


    Put the delicious food away and eat it for ten and a half days. That''s what girls'' dormitory can do.


    Boys, if you do this, you will never make friends.


    It''s just that most parents don''t know much about it. When their children are studying, they are desperate to let them bring more delicious food, but they don''t know how few of these things can get into their children''s mouths. It''s always been the case.


    After eating and drinking enough, everyone smeared the oil on the corners of their mouths and said, "Enron, aunt''s craftsmanship is very good. This chicken claw stew is really delicious. Let her do more next time."


    Lin Enron smiles and doesn''t speak. He doesn''t like to talk about his sister in front of too many people. He''s afraid that people will blaspheme her. Look at the 80% new shoes on his feet. They were made by his sister last time. After only two or three months, my sister had already made two clothes and two pairs of shoes for herself. His mother has done it for him before, but the care given by his mother and sister is different. Moreover, the clothes made by my sister look much better. It''s nice to have my sister by my side!


    In the twinkling of an eye, it was the tenth day of August. Because many students had to go home to help with the autumn harvest, and the Mid Autumn Festival, the Academy took a ten day holiday.


    Enron will be temporarily unable to wear summer clothes and thin quilt are brought back, after the mid autumn cold. It''s time to take thick bedding when you go to the Academy again.


    When he got home, his mother just went out. Leisurely, she heard someone talking at the gate. It turned out that her younger brother had come back. See my brother struggling with a big package, also holding a big bag of clothes in his arms, a carriage just drove away. Leisurely quickly took the package from his brother''s back and asked, "little brother, are you back? Why didn''t anyone come back? "


    Enron said with a smile, "it happens that my classmate Cheng Zijun is the grandson of Master Cheng''s family in the town. Every time he comes back, his family will send a carriage to pick him up. I''ve rubbed the car several times."


    Leisurely nodded, "in this case, when you leave, I''ll make two kinds of exquisite snacks for you to thank others. Although they are generous, we can''t just take advantage of them. "


    "That''s what my mother used to say. Every time my mother made shoes for me, she would make two pairs for him to take with me. Cheng Zijun likes the shoes made by his mother. He says the shoes made by his mother are more comfortable than those made by his embroidery mother. What''s more, he didn''t eat less of the food my mother brought me. It''s OK. "


    Together with my brother, I carried his bedding to his room and put it away, leisurely said


    "Or is mother thoughtful? What would you like to eat? I''ll make it for you

 Chapter 39

    "Whatever you eat is better than the college food. Sister, my mother said that you made the bittern she brought me last time. It''s delicious. I didn''t eat much. They robbed me. " Speaking of this, Enron is a little bit puffy.


    I glanced at him leisurely, but I was still a child. She said with a smile, "it''s troublesome to do. I''ll do it for you tomorrow. My mother said that you like beef. It happened that someone was selling it in the market this morning, so I bought some. I made some sauced beef and left a small piece fresh. How about stewing it with potatoes? "


    Enron nodded happily, "thank you, sister."


    Seeing that he was such a clever little fresh meat, leisurely I couldn''t help touching his head.


    After a while, Lin''s mother came back from outside and was surprised to see her son. After a boisterous dinner, Lin''s mother was excited and gratified to see her children getting along well.


    At dinner, Lin Enron said, "mother, sister, brother Cheng asked me to visit the capital the day after tomorrow. Do you have anything to take with you?"


    Leisurely said, "where are you going? I''ve been back for a few days. I just want to send something to my wife and princess. "


    "Princess? What princess? Is there a princess in the Shen family? " Lin Mu asked strangely.


    Carefree caress forehead "look at my head, unexpectedly forgot to say with you.". I was originally sent by Mrs. hou to serve Mr. Hou''s niece, Fang''s girl? Because of her father''s shadow, she was granted the title of county leader. Later, she was accepted by the empress as her adopted daughter and promoted to Le''an princess. "


    Lin Enron said with a smile, "so, elder sister, aren''t you the one who has served the princess? This is a great honor! Why didn''t my sister say that earlier? "


    Lin Mu said, "well, what''s decent or not? No matter who you serve, it''s not easy to be a slave. Now that your sister is at home, it''s right not to mention what happened before. Don''t say that when you go out in the future. "


    Lin Enron put out his tongue "I know, mother." Then he turned to leisurely and said, "sister, what do you want me to bring for you?"


    Lin Youran said, "don''t worry. I''ll tell you when I get up tomorrow morning."


    On the second day, Lin Youran got up early. The pomegranates in our yard were packed into a delicate bamboo basket, and the grapes on the grape rack in front of the door were picked out and cut off. Then, we found several jars of pickled cowpeas and spicy cucumbers and packed a large bag of dried vegetables.


    Then take out a few brocade boxes and a burden, and point out these things to Enron one by one. "When you go to the corner gate, just go directly to find your sister Feixu. If she doesn''t have a free time, she can look for Weiyu and Hongying. This larger brocade box is for Mrs. Hou. Inside it is a small Kang screen made by myself, which is for her to play with. In addition, my wife likes to eat sour and sweet things. As it happens, our fresh fruits are sour and sweet. Although they are not as expensive as those she used to eat, it''s also a pleasure to invite her to taste our fruits. This is a smaller brocade box. The purse in it is for girls. There are some small things I made myself in the purse. Please take it. The smallest brocade box contains two stones I picked up by the river. They are for the princess to enjoy. "


    Then he pointed to the package and said, "in this package, there are some small things I made for my sisters, including sachets and pendants. You can give them catkins and let them choose by themselves."


    Lin Enron looked at the pile of things, puzzled and asked, "sister, these things are just, how can you put our pickles on the table, is the hall still short of this?"


    You don''t know that. Although there is no lack of various delicacies in Hou''s mansion, there are few such simple things. You can''t say they just like it. You just send it to them, and you don''t have to worry about anything else. " When Lin Enron arrived at the street where the corner gate of Hou''s house was, he was stopped by several servants like "what are you doing?"


    Lin Enron didn''t expect so many people to give gifts to Hou''s house on the Mid Autumn Festival. He saw that the corner gate of Hou''s house was full of all kinds of gift givers. He didn''t mention anything about giving gifts to his wife. He just gave a gift and said, "students are entrusted by others to give something to Fei Xu''s sister."


    Seeing that Lin Enron was not well-dressed, the Ding family thought that he also took the opportunity to go through the back door of the Marquis''s mansion. The key was that Lin Enron was used to coming here in the past and forgot to give benefits. The Ding family scolded, "what are you, and the big servant girl beside your wife is what you want to see? Stay there. Miss Feixu is busy helping her lady to treat guests. I have no time to see you. " With that, he gave Lin Enron a push.


    Lin Enron didn''t want the servant to be so rude. He pushed him off guard. Fortunately, he was helped by Cheng Zijun. Cheng Zijun advised, "it must be someone who goes to the tea cooler. Now your sister is not working here. I''m afraid people don''t want to see you. I think we''d better go. "


    Lin Enron shook his head. "I promised my sister that I would help her deliver the things. How can I not believe what I said? If you don''t want me to wait, brother Cheng, you still have something to do. Please help yourself first. "


    Cheng Zijun shook his head, "I have nothing serious to do. Don''t worry. I''ll stay with you for a while."


    On the other hand, Cheng Zijun''s little fellow holding the book muttered, "young master, we have to give gifts to my uncle''s house. It''s noon at the moment. It''s not good to miss the time."


    "Shut up, so much talk." Cheng Zijun rebuked.


    The book was still unconvinced. "Originally, a poor scholar insisted on coming to Hou''s house to make friends. He didn''t know who the loyal Marquis was. He came with a few rotten melons and dates, but he was blocked out?"


    "You little boy!" Cheng Zijun was just about to raise his hand to teach him how to hold the book, but Lin Enron stopped him. "Brother Cheng, don''t be angry. What he said is right. It''s just that I''ve been entrusted by my sister today. Anyway, I have to make a statement. Brother Cheng, please go by yourself. I''ll wait here. "


    Then he took all the things his sister had asked him to take from the carriage and put them aside.


    As soon as the things were moved down, many people around them laughed. Erlengzi, who had no idea where he came from, came to the Zhongyi Marquis''s house to give gifts with such worthless vegetables and leaves. They don''t have a treasure with more than a thousand gold in their arms, so they can''t enter. If these things can be sent in, it will make people laugh.


    The servants at the entrance of the Hutong also muttered, "where are these big idiots? They really know miss Feixu. Can people take these things?"

 Chapter 40

    When Cheng Zijun heard the laughter around him, he couldn''t help holding Lin Enron''s sleeve. "Brother Lin, you''d better forget it. Don''t give it away. Go back and talk to your sister. You can''t send it in this situation! "


    Just then, a carriage turned in from the outside. When the servants saw the carriage, they quickly gave way to a passage, and kept driving away the crowd around them. "Let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s let''s


    After that, the man looked at the things on the bottom of Enron''s feet and said with disdain, "brother, I advise you to take these rags with you as soon as possible. I don''t know where the bumpkin comes from. I don''t know! Don''t you think the big servant girl beside madam can see you these broken things? "


    Sitting in the carriage, Mammy Qi frowned, "who is this talking about? It''s a bit too arrogant." Then he lifted the curtain on the carriage and said to the servant, "who gave you such courage? Dare to say anything, madam, have you told me many times? You have to keep a low profile. Look at the way you''re dragging. After being seen by outsiders, you think our servants are as rude as you are! "


    Said, eyes a glance, just saw Lin Enron "ah, isn''t this Lin''s elder brother?" Lin Enron has been here many times in recent months. Naturally, Mammy Qi knows him.


    Then, Mammy Qi supported the servant girl''s men and drove the carriage, "brother Lin, when did you come? Your sister didn''t come? "


    Lin Enron said with a smile, "my sister is at home. Because she said that the government must be very busy under the festival, she won''t come to make trouble. After 15 minutes, I''ll give my wife, the princess and the girls greetings, and I''ll give my wife a birthday


    Mammy Qi said with a smile, "it''s the same reason. Now that I''m here, I''ll go in and sit down. The lady, the princess and the girls are all talking about your sister. Go to see her and tell her about her


    Lin Enron replied, "my wife is not sure how busy she is during this festival. My sister asked the students to bring some things. Please ask Mammy to take it, and the students will not disturb my wife. "


    Mammy Qi said, "no matter how busy madam is, she can spare time to meet you. Just follow me." Then he asked the coachman and the boy to move everything to the carriage.


    Lin Enron turned to Cheng Zijun and said, "thank you brother Cheng for sending me here. In this way, I went in to greet my sister. Brother Cheng, hurry up and get down to business. "


    Cheng Zijun nodded, "since you can go in, I''m relieved, so I''ll go first." With that, he took the boy out. Because the alley was narrow, the carriage stopped outside.


    Here, Lin Enron followed mammy Qi all the way into the Marquis''s house. It''s a real person who doesn''t show his face when he startles a few servants and the outsider who is waiting for a gift. They really take some worthless dishes to do it. The one with the treasure is ignored.


    Mother Qi placed Lin Enron in the small flower hall outside the second door and said, "you can wait here at ease. I''ll go to the lady first." Then she ordered her mother-in-law to treat her well. Seeing that mother Qi was kind to Lin Enron, she brought good tea and snacks.


    Lin Enron then thought of her sister''s advice, took out more than a dozen big money from her purse and handed it to her


    The old lady saw that Lin Enron didn''t wear well, but she didn''t expect that he would give him a reward. She then said with a smile, "you''re welcome. You just stay here. I''m in the front room. If you have something, just call me."


    On the other side, mother Qi let the servant girl bring things to the main hall of Yuehua courtyard. As soon as she came, there was a little servant girl to say hello to "mammy is back."


    Mammy Qi asked, "madam, are you free at this meeting?"


    The little servant girl replied, "I''ve been busy all morning. I''ve met several groups of people. I''ve just had some leisure." Then she opened the curtain for her, and mammy Qi went into the inner room, but she didn''t want to. The loyal Marquis was also there. Han''s looking through the list, Zhongyi Hou is slanting aside, shut his eyes.


    Seeing her coming, Han asked with a smile, "have you sent all the things?"


    Mother Qi saluted and said, "if you go back to your wife, you''ll send it to her. Let her take care of it."


    Han nodded, "OK, I know. You''ve been busy for a long time. Go back and have a rest."


    Mother Qi said with a smile, "don''t worry. When the old slave came back just now, he met Lin''s brother at the entrance of the alley in the corner gate. He went to Beijing with his classmates to buy books and, by the way, sent festival gifts to all the masters


    "Why did she think about us when she went back? What did she bring? Where''s the kid? Let him in. I''ll see you Immediately a servant girl carried the things outside the door in, and a woman went to the flower hall to call Enron.


    Shen Mingchang, the loyal Marquis, closed his eyes and asked, "whose child is that? Is it worth your attention? "


    Han said, "it''s Qingliu''s younger brother. I talked to Hou Ye about it. I''m only 13 years old. I''m a scholar. That kind of background is a young talent. "


    Shen Mingchang opened his eyes and said, "well, at this age, you can be a scholar in the capital. It''s really extraordinary. You said the willow is the one who blocked the disaster for sister Su


    Han nodded. "Exactly. Speaking of it, this girl is really a good one. Ten years ago, she jumped into the river and saved Jin Ge''er. According to the general maid, she has been proud of this for a long time, but over the years, I look coldly at her. She is not proud at all, and she is still conscientious when she is a servant. She has a lively mind and loyalty. If her younger brother is not so promising, I would not be willing to let her go again. "


    Shen Mingchang said, "since you like her, you can always pick her up and play with her. It''s just that Quan is a relative''s girl."


    "That''s what I think. Why don''t I just see her brother?" With that, Han saw the pomegranates and grapes brought by the little maid, and said with a smile, "I have a headache in recent social activities, so I want to eat some fresh fruits. But these people don''t want to eat what they have in front of them. They have to get some fruits from outside. No matter how well preserved it is, the fruit is not fresh when it comes to us. Wooden, what''s the taste? It''s the fresh fruit. It''s just water. "


    Then he said, "girls don''t like sour food, so there''s no need to divide the pomegranate. Leave a bunch of these grapes and give the girls the rest. And the box and the baggage, whoever it belongs to, will be sent to. Take these dried vegetables to the small kitchen and let them clean them up. Let the girls come and have a taste. "


    At this time, the catkins have been a big pomegranate clean cut, with the emerald dish Sheng end up.


    Han picked up a piece, peeled two pieces and tasted "en, this pomegranate is full of flavor." Then she ate them one by one. She didn''t even vomit when she ate them.


    Shen Mingchang saw that she ate sweetly. He twisted two of them and put them in his mouth. Then he vomited out, "how is it sour?"

 Chapter 41

    Han took a handkerchief to help him wipe his mouth and said angrily, "I don''t like sweet pomegranate all the time. I only like sour pomegranate. You don''t ask."


    Shen Mingchang took a sip of tea and gargled, "I didn''t expect it to be so sour."


    Han also tasted two "I eat well, sour and sweet, just eat.". Try it, Mammy Qi. "


    Said, took a piece to give Qi Mammy, Qi mammy tasted, said "maidservant tasted also feel OK, not too sour."


    Shen Mingchang shook his head. "No wonder women are jealous."


    Han didn''t like to hear that. She was about to retort when she heard a little servant girl outside the door reply, "Lin''s brother is coming."


    The two quickly dressed and sat down. Lin Enron came in behind the servant girl and said, "students, please send greetings to the Marquis and his wife."


    Han said with a smile, "get up quickly."


    Shen Mingchang saw Lin Enron''s manner was moderate and modest. First he liked Lin Enron''s two points, and then he took an examination of his knowledge. After listening to his words, he nodded, "you''re a progressive. Since you''ve got a scholar, when are you going to take the entrance examination?"


    Lin Enron replied, "the students think that they are not well prepared for this year''s end, and the students feel that their articles are not well prepared for the government examination. Therefore, students are going to take part in the college entrance examination next autumn. "


    Shen Mingchang nodded. "When I was young, I was so calm. It was good. As it happens, I have a nephew who also lives in the government. He is a few years older than you. Because of his filial piety, he is delayed and will take part in the hospital examination next year. Ah, both of you are not well-known teachers, and your families are not well-off, but both of you have learned well at a young age. It''s much better than my several evils. "


    Lin Enron said modestly, "I''m flattered by the marquis. He''s both civil and military. I don''t want to come to your mansion."


    "As long as they have half of your knowledge, I will be satisfied. You''ll know when you see it. After a while, I''ll ask someone to take you to meet them. You are of the same age. I think you can talk to them. "


    Then Marquis Shen sent him to the front yard to meet Shen Cang and others. Shen Cang didn''t even read the four books and five classics. Naturally, he had nothing to say with Lin Enron. The remaining Shen Rong and Shen Mao are stronger than Shen Cang, but they have nothing in common. Fang Xinjian went back to Fang''s old house to worship her ancestors. Fortunately, Shen Ze, the nephew of marquis Shen, was quite knowledgeable. Lin Enron had a good talk with him.


    The girls in each room are very happy to receive leisurely this festival gift. She has always been skillful, and what she gives is selected and selected, which is naturally more delicate and lovely. No matter the girls or the servant girls, they couldn''t put it down one after another.


    Fang Xinsu also returned to Fang''s house. No matter who her father was, she could only be the eldest daughter of Fang''s family in her life. It''s her responsibility. She will never shirk it.


    Shen Tian sent someone to send her something from Qingliu. When she received it, she opened the box and saw that there were several white jade stones with different textures. It was not exquisite, but it had a simple beauty. Then he said with a smile, "it''s still light willow who knows my mind. What''s the value of those gold, silver and jade articles? It''s not as interesting as these stones. "


    In addition, there are some purse, sachet and other things. Fang Xinsu picked up a pair of peacocks the size of a palm, opened the screen, and said with a smile, "it''s hard for her to think about it. It''s unique. Who brought these things for her? "


    The servant replied, "it was her younger brother who sent it to Houfu."


    Fang Xinsu looks at the sky. The sun has set in the West. Then he said to the people around him, "it''s late today. I remember to send someone to her home early tomorrow morning to send some moon cakes and snacks to our house." It was near noon when Cheng Zijun arrived at the Uncle Wang''s family in the west of the city. His uncle had been entertaining the guests for a long time. Seeing that he was late, he asked, "why did you come so late?"


    Although his uncle Wang is only a five grade official in Beijing, he is still the biggest supporter for the Cheng family, who lives in a corner of the capital and relies on merchants. Cheng Zijun always despised his uncle''s arrogant manner of looking at people in his nostrils, but he didn''t dare to show any dissatisfaction. So he said respectfully, "because he sent a classmate to Zhongyi Marquis''s house to send some things, he didn''t expect that there was such a traffic jam outside Zhongyi Marquis''s house, so he delayed some time."


    At first, some careless Mr. Wang heard of Zhongyi Marquis''s house and immediately came to the spirit of "but Shen Mingchang, marquis Shen''s house?"


    Cheng Zijun replied, "exactly."


    Then, a man nearby said, "now, it''s not everyone''s things that can be sent into Marquis Shen''s house. Don''t ask for trouble from your classmate. "


    That person looks to wear also is a rich and noble, Cheng Zijun dare not rashly contradict, just say "my that classmate and Mrs. Shen side of a steward mother know well, so smoothly into the Hou house."


    Mr. Wang immediately changed his face, offered his seat to him with a smile, and inquired, "is your classmate old with Shen Fu?"


    Cheng Zijun wanted to boast about Lin Enron, but he realized that it couldn''t stand scrutiny, so he truthfully said, "my classmate''s sister was originally a big servant girl of the Hou family. A few days ago, he took her home after he passed the entrance examination as a scholar. This time I''m going to deliver things for my sister. "


    Mr. Wang thought quickly in his mind that his term of office is still about to expire. If he can go further, it depends on whether there is anyone on the top. Zhongyi marquis is now the hottest tycoon in the capital. He has just returned from victory, and the emperor has given him a great reward. The eldest daughter of the Marquis was given marriage to the fifth prince. She is the prince''s concubine, a niece is the princess, and a nephew is the commander of yunqi. Even Mrs. Shen''s Han family can''t be underestimated. Although she doesn''t have a legitimate son, how many legitimate sons can a princess''s daughter hold? In addition, her mother''s family is not a vegetarian, and now the minister is her elder brother. Other people''s second elder brother is the emperor''s son-in-law, or is directly related to the emperor.


    Look at this family. They are both rich and noble. How can they be envied?


    Thinking of this, Lord Wang already had an idea in his heart, so he was more polite to Cheng Zijun, poured him a lot of wine, and set up a lot of words about the Lin family.

 Chapter 42

    Cheng Zijun didn''t eat anything, so he was filled with a lot of wine. In the end, he was so drunk that he went to the toilet and vomited everything in his stomach.


    After vomiting, Cheng Zijun sobered up a lot. He drank some tea, gargled, and used a few snacks, and left.


    The words of this set were almost the same. Lord Wang didn''t ask him to stay. He personally sent him outside the gate and asked his servants to pack up a lot of fruits and snacks for him to take back.


    For the first time, Cheng Zijun saw this uncle so amiable. Although he was a little uncomfortable, he was still a little complacent.


    Just this complacency in seeing Lin Enron, for no reason to become guilty, he did not say what should not be said, right?


    Lin Enron had been waiting in the foyer of the corner gate for a long time. The servants had already known Cheng Zijun. When they saw him coming, they asked him to wait. Then one of them ran to the corner gate to report the news and helped Lin Enron take out the things one by one. Enron this time remember to give several people a handful of copper money, no matter how much, always a heart.


    Cheng Zijun was afraid to face his classmates. Enron didn''t know what he was thinking. He said with a smile, "I can smell the wine on you from afar. I think I drank a lot of it?"


    Cheng Zijun said with a smile, "uncle, he''s very kind. I''m not a good excuse for the younger generation." With that, he changed the topic and said, "brother, you''re not emptying the Houfu, are you? Why so many things? "


    Enron embarrassed smile "I also said that this thing is too much, but Mrs. Hou said, in addition to these new books, a few kinds of study, other things are for my sister, and I have nothing to do, let me just take back."


    Cheng Zijun envies the way "did not expect your sister''s home, and the relationship between the people in this house is still so good."


    As it was getting late, the coachman rushed back. Both of them were sitting in the carriage with some bumps, so they didn''t have a chance to talk too much along the way.


    When he got to the county seat, the coachman took Cheng Zijun to Chengfu as usual. Cheng Zijun looked at the sky and said, "it''s late, or you can stay here for one night before you leave."


    Lin Enron shook his head and said, "when I came out, I said I would go back tonight, or my mother would miss it." Then, from the pile of things Han gave him, he took out two food boxes and handed them to Cheng Zijun, saying, "this is a southern snack made by a Jinling cook in the Hou family. Take it back and give it to my aunt."


    Cheng Zijun exclaimed, "what''s in Houfu? I dare not take it. You''d better take it home and eat it slowly. "


    Lin Enron insisted, "there are many more. I''ve eaten this food many times, and there''s nothing special to eat. It''s just that it looks better and should be put on the festival."


    Seeing that there was something else in the car, Cheng Zijun accepted it. "Then I''ll take my brother''s blessing and taste the snacks from the Marquis''s house." Lin Enron finally gave him a big grapefruit and followed the carriage.


    Cheng Zijun didn''t need any help. He ran all the way to his grandmother''s yard with these things in his arms. "Grandma, look, what good things have I brought you?"


    Cheng Zijun''s mother, Chen Shi, was waiting on the old lady. After hearing her son''s voice, she lifted the curtain and came out and said, "what''s good for you to shout like this? Stop it


    Cheng Zijun is not afraid of his mother at all. He smiles and goes in. He puts all the things he holds on the eight immortals table at the top of the room.


    Mrs. Cheng first saw the big round grapefruit and said with a smile, "this is a southern fruit. Is it called grapefruit? It''s really rare that we can''t see each other here. "


    Chen also saw the fruit and asked, "is this from your uncle?" Cheng Zijun shook his head. "When is uncle so generous? Besides, with his official position, he probably doesn''t have this in his family."


    Chen shouts, "how to talk? Your uncle is also a high-ranking official. Besides, he didn''t give it to you. Is it your poor classmate who gave it to you? "


    Cheng Zijun didn''t like to hear "what''s the meaning of poverty? Not to mention that his family has also bought 200 mu of land, brother Lin is now a serious scholar. You look down on him, but you don''t know that these things are given by others. And this snack, which is made by the chef of Hou''s family, has never been seen before. But I don''t know what''s wrong with my mother? "


    Chen''s cold hum "this thing is not necessarily that Lin''s sister and brother how to get it, you are willing to? I said earlier that you should have more contact with children of the same family. The poor Lin family can''t even afford a servant, and they don''t even have a carriage. What good can you get from dealing with such people, can''t you? "


    Mrs. Cheng frowned and said, "OK, just a few words. There is no shortage of money in our family, but if we get three percent of this acre, can anyone recognize you? No matter how poor the Lin family is, brother Lin is now a serious scholar. He doesn''t have to kneel down when he meets the magistrate. What''s more, he won the scholar''s entrance examination when he was only a few years old. In a few years, he may not be able to fail in the entrance examination. Do you think that people who go to Zhongyi Marquis''s house to send things are in a hurry to flatter them, and they don''t go to the capital to inquire about them. Who are the gifts of Zhongyi Marquis''s house? If you go with all our belongings, they may not pay attention to it. "


    Chen does not believe that "is not a marquis''s house? What''s the big deal? "


    Without waiting for Mrs. Cheng to speak, Cheng Zijun scrambled to say, "why not great? Marquis Shen won the battle along the southwest coast. When he came back, the prince personally led all the civil and military officials to meet him outside the South Gate of the capital. The eldest lady of his family was accused of being married to the fifth prince, and the niece of the Marquis was appointed as a princess. Now the limelight is so good that even my uncle wants to give gifts to others. "


    Hearing this, Chen was speechless. When Cheng Zijun saw that his mother was no longer making a fuss, he opened the two food boxes and pointed out the snacks to his grandmother and mother.


    When they saw that the dim sum was really exquisite, even the moon cake was only the size of a walnut, with various auspicious patterns printed on it, it made them want to eat.


    After seeing off all the guests, Mr. Wang turned and went back to the inner courtyard. He found his wife, Liu, and whispered. After hearing this, Liu hesitated and said, "the master''s plan is good, but it''s only half a year since his son got married. Let''s make arrangements for him to have a second room. I''m afraid the daughter-in-law and her family are not happy."


    Mr. Wang sneered and said, "when you catch up with the loyal Marquis''s house, you need to be afraid of your daughter-in-law''s family? It must be done quickly. If someone cuts it off, it''s not good. "


    Liu nodded, "it''s too late today. I''ll go to Baishui County early tomorrow morning."

 Chapter 43

    In the morning of the second day, Liu took his servant girl to Baishui County in two chariots. Instead of going directly to leisurely''s home, she came to Cheng''s home and found Cheng Zijun''s mother, Chen.


    Chen has always been the only one who went to the capital to greet Liu. I never thought Liu could come to Cheng''s house. After listening to his servant''s reply, Chen went to the gate in person, and constantly asked the maid to serve tea and snacks.


    Liu didn''t want to waste time on eating and drinking. As soon as he wanted to refuse, he heard Chen say, "my cousin tasted this snack. It''s from the house of the loyal marquis. I''m not willing to eat it. If it wasn''t for my cousin''s coming, I wouldn''t have taken it out again. "


    Zhongyi Houfu? Liu swallowed his words, picked up a piece and tasted it. He praised it: "it''s really from Hou Fu. It''s exquisite and delicious. I didn''t expect that my sister''s family could have Hou''s snacks. "


    Chen said, "isn''t it true that when junge''er went to your house yesterday, he took one of his classmates to deliver things to Zhongyi Marquis''s house? This is Mrs. Hou''s gift to the child. The child is still sensible and gives two boxes to junge''er. There is also a southern fruit called grapefruit, which is the size of a ball. Otherwise, how can we eat such a valuable thing? "


    Liu picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. He thought constantly. It seems that the big girl of the Lin family has a good face in front of the master, or she won''t give such a gift in return. The master''s plan is right. If you can really climb up to Zhongyi Marquis''s house through this girl, won''t the family be prosperous soon?


    Think of here, she is no longer wordy, will come directly and Chen said.


    Chen did not expect that Liu came all the way here just because of this. She could not help saying, "so my cousin came here for this?"


    Liu took her hand and said, "good sister, as you know, your cousin''s term of office is coming, but his boss doesn''t deal with him very well. If you don''t find a support quickly, your cousin''s official career will come to an end. At that time, I''m afraid it''s hard to say what we''ll do together. "


    Chen was shocked: "is it so dangerous? That Lin''s sister is just a slave. Her nephew''s willingness to marry her is to give her face. She doesn''t dare to answer any more. But she served as a lady, and a girl. Can she has the final say in this official business?


    Liu said, "sister, you don''t know that the eldest brother of Han''s wife is the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs, who is in charge of the promotion of all officials. Moreover, I sent someone to the Marquis''s house yesterday to inquire about the girl who saved the life of the young master of the Han family when she was a child. Therefore, the Han family treated her very well. As long as you marry that girl, what can''t be done? If your cousin is really promoted to another level, will he be able to treat you badly? "


    After listening to Liu''s words, Chen said, "one of our family''s Coachmans has been to her house several times. Let''s take a set of cars."


    So they got on the carriage in a hurry and came to Baishui town.


    After eating prematurely, leisurely is busy sorting out the things brought back by his younger brother yesterday. Besides snacks and moon cakes, there are also two jars of good yellow rice wine, some spices, melons and fruits. There is no special valuable things, but let leisurely heart a relaxed, if the lady give her too heavy return, she do not know how to do.


    Mother Lin and her mother are working together. I heard someone knocking outside the gate, "is lady Lin there?"


    When she heard that someone was coming, Mrs. Lin came out of the house and saw two strange ladies in extraordinary clothes in the yard, surrounded by many servant girls.


    Lin''s mother hesitated and asked, "Why are the two wives here? Is it the wrong place? "


    A younger woman said, "isn''t this Lin Enron''s home? I''m Cheng Zijun''s mother. " How does Cheng Zijun''s mother come back to her home? According to past experience, Mrs. Cheng looks down on her family. Lin''s mother was even more suspicious, but she didn''t show it. She said with a smile, "it''s Mrs. Cheng who''s here, and our kids are taken care of by the family. Our country is a bit crude. If you don''t like it, please sit in the room? "


    They really dislike it. They are used to living in gaomen courtyard. How can they see such a farmyard. But what they want to say is not easy to publicize outside. Now Liu gives Chen a wink, and they each take a servant girl into the hall.


    At this time, leisurely also heard the news. Although she didn''t know the purpose of the two people, the visitor was a guest, so she made two cups of tea and served them politely.


    Lin Enron also came to see the two wives.


    After a little greeting, he stood quietly behind Lin''s mother without saying much. Chen looked at her and said with a smile, "this is Lin Ge''er''s elder sister, Qingliu girl from Zhongyi Marquis''s house, right? Sure enough, it''s from the Marquis''s house, but it''s much sharper than our girls. " Then he turned his head and looked at Liu''s "cousin, do you think I''m right?"


    After coming out of leisurely ah, Liu had been observing her in secret. He saw that the girl did have a leisurely manner when she raised her hand and put her head and feet. She was not gorgeous in appearance, but she was also beautiful and refined. She was satisfied with two points in her heart. She was standing behind Lin''s mother with a low brow and soft eyes. She thought she was a good one. So he echoed, "I think so too. Come here, I''ll have a look."


    Leisurely doesn''t know Liu''s identity, but when Chen asks her to sit down, she knows that this person''s identity is above Chen. Leisurely doesn''t like Liu''s look at her like looking at the goods, but people don''t say anything impolite. Besides, his younger brother often bothers Cheng Zijun. At present, it is necessary to be polite. So he went to Liu with a smile and gave a salute.


    Liu took leisurely''s hand and said with a smile, "this is a good child indeed after a close look. We can compare our daughters and daughters in law. " With that, he rolled down a gold bracelet from his hand and gave it to her. He was surprised how this man gave himself such a heavy gift. Therefore, it is not acceptable to blindly refuse.


    Lin''s mother also said, "madam, this gift is too expensive. How can her children afford it?"


    Chen, who was hinted by Liu, said with a smile, "I can stand it. Now it''s just a gold bracelet. In the future, it will be a complete set of gold jewelry." Then he looked at Lin''s mother and said, "it''s said that Lin''s sister hasn''t been betrothed yet. Today, I have the honor to tell her how to make a good marriage."


    Talking to someone? Chen''s words are too careless. How can anyone tell a marriage in front of a girl? Mrs. Lin was a little upset, and Mrs. Cheng was a little out of tune. Hearing this, he turned leisurely and went to the inner room.


    But Chen said, "since it''s related to sister Lin, why don''t you listen to her?" Leisurely, seeing that his mother had no objection, he stayed. Chen pointed to Liu and said, "it''s not other people, it''s my cousin''s son."


    Then he said with a chagrin, "look at my brain, I forgot to introduce my cousin to my wife. My sister-in-law is not a casual family. My cousin in her family is Lord wailang Wang, a member of the etiquette department, and a decent five grade official in Beijing. My cousin heard that Lin Jieer was beautiful, so she asked me to come with her. It''s not a good match to want to hire our elder sister Lin as the second wife for his eldest son? "

 Chapter 44

    I was full of the thought that the Lin family was very happy when they heard that her daughter could be married to the fifth grade official''s house as a second wife.


    Who would like to hear this, the mother and son, who were still smiling, suddenly changed their faces. Lin Youran didn''t say a word. Lin''s mother said at first, "there''s no need to mention this. My sister will never be a concubine."


    Lin Enron also flatly said, "that''s right. My sister has finally redeemed herself from the house. I will find a good family for her and never let her be a concubine."


    After hearing this, Chen was a little chatty. She couldn''t help saying, "brother Lin, you can think clearly. If your sister enters the gate of the Wang family, the Wang family will help you a little, but it will be more beneficial than your hard study. If you are not classmate with junge''er, such a good thing will never come to your family again. "


    Lin Enron sneered, "why doesn''t Mrs. Cheng take care of such a good thing by herself?"


    Liu said with some impatience, "OK, just a little scholar, so arrogant? Watch your future. If you don''t want to keep this bracelet, you have to. It will be a good day in the future. Clean it up for your sister, and then there will be a sedan chair to pick it up. "


    Lin Enron said angrily, "hum, even if I don''t want my fame, I won''t let my sister be your concubine."


    Seeing that Liu was going to get angry again, Chen quickly comforted him and said, "don''t worry about Lin Ge''er. You are wrong. My sister-in-law is an acute person. I didn''t make it clear. Your elder sister is not an ordinary aunt, but a serious second room. She still wants to treat her with wine. It is out of the door, outsiders also want to call an aunt


    A voice suddenly came from the outside, "what aunts and grandmothers do not aunts and grandmothers?"


    Everyone followed the voice and saw that it was not others who came. It was Xiuluo, the maid in waiting on Fang Xinsu.


    That day, after Princess Lezhen''s affair, Jinying was sent to Huanyi Bureau by the Empress Dowager to work as a coolie. Although aunt Mo was partial to Fang Xinsu on that day, she was also reprimanded by the Empress Dowager and recalled to the palace because of the disadvantage of the protector. She sent another aunt Mu to Fang Xinsu. Xiuluo is the only one who is industrious. That day, when Lezhen came to pick things up, she always protected Fang Xinsu and got praise from the Empress Dowager and the emperor.


    After Fang Xinsu was promoted to princess, the Empress Dowager gave her more than a dozen maids and nuns. Fang Xinsu saw that Xiuluo was still diligent in her work, and she had a high rank, so she made her a female official in charge.


    Originally today, Fang Xinsu wanted to let the familiar Pai Ping come over. Who would like to draw screen Laozi mother suddenly got an emergency, draw screen back to see her mother. Because of the festival, others have a lot of work in their hands. Xiuluo saw this and took the job down.


    Fang Xinsu thinks that Xiuluo is the servant of Wupin. If she goes to the Lin''s house for a walk, there will be a lot of unnecessary trouble in leisurely home. Moreover, when she went to the palace to ask for peace a few days ago, the Empress Dowager listened to her story of leisurely sacrificing her life to save her and gave her something. No matter how much things are worth, the things given by the Empress Dowager are naturally very respectable.


    It has to be said that Fang Xinsu has some foresight. Jinluo has just come here when he is forced to marry leisurely.


    Leisurely is very angry. Seeing Xiuluo coming, leisurely steps forward to greet her. "You are waiting by the side of the princess. You are busy all day. How can you come here?"


    Xiuluo didn''t even look at Chen and Liu. She said with a smile, "it''s not that the princess is thinking about you. Let me have a look at you. There''s something else you can''t think of. " After that, she winked, and a woman brought some brocade plates to her. One contained a red sandalwood carving with white jade, the other contained a red gold collar with tourmaline and a pair of gold hairpins of the same texture. Another plate contained a pair of red gold bracelets inlaid with agate and a pair of rings of the same texture.


    See leisurely doubt looking at himself, embroider Luo said with a smile, "these are not ordinary can get, is the Empress Dowager and empress empress heard of your loyalty to the princess, specially reward." Hearing this, leisurely immediately put Yu Ruyi on the table in the main hall, knelt down and kowtowed a few heads, "the people''s daughter thanks the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager for their reward." When she knelt down, Lin Mu and Lin Enron knelt down naturally. Chen and Liu are unwilling, but they kowtow to the Empress Dowager again. Can you watch them there? As a result, they had to kneel down.


    When they finished the ceremony, Xiuluo glanced at Chen and others again and said, "the Empress Dowager has heard that you have come home from home. She also asks Mrs. hou to tell you about a good family. You are very popular. Don''t be coaxed by some people with ulterior motives. I can''t say that one day, Mrs. Hou will directly find you a five grade facial features to be your son-in-law. "


    Leisurely angry at her, "you know how to tease me. Let me introduce you. This is my mother and this is my little brother." Said, will Lin Mu and Enron introduced to embroider Luo.


    Because of the Empress Dowager''s reward, there are not a few people embroidering Luo Dai, including four little maids, four women''s wives, two boys and four bodyguards. After all, it''s no joke if something goes wrong with the Royal gift.


    Seeing the battle, Liu said with a bitter smile, "I saw that sister Lin Bing Xueming was very clever. She made a joke with my cousin. I hope that lady Lin and sister Lin will not be angry. Since there are distinguished guests at home, we won''t stay long. " With that, he and Chen left together.


    Originally thought that the Lin family this wench is again valued by Mrs. Shen, left Hou Fu, also not necessarily someone to give her Zhang Mu. I didn''t expect that there was a princess behind. Even the Empress Dowager gave me something. My darling, there is the handle Ruyi in there, who dares to make up her mind? Isn''t that boring?


    See them go, embroider Luo sneer way "calculate they run fast, otherwise, have them good-looking."


    Leisurely let her into his room "is just some snobs, nothing to care about.". Thanks to your early arrival, and the Empress Dowager''s gift of Ruyi here, no one dares to deceive you. However, I can''t help but worry about the princesses and the Lords of the Marquis'' mansion. I''m just a servant girl who redeems herself and goes home. They all have this snobbish idea to beat me. The princess and the masters are still in hot water. "


    Xiuluo patted her hand. "No wonder the princess always loves you. It''s worth the princess to treat you differently with what you said. The Marquis and his wife are smart people. I guess they have a way to deal with it. "


    When Lin''s mother saw these people coming, she took Lin Enron to entertain several bodyguards and young men in the main room and went to the wing room to cook tea. A clever servant girl came forward to help. Lin''s mother took out the tea she brought back to treat the guests. After a while, everyone drank the sweet tea.


    Lin''s mother brought two cups of tea and two dishes of snacks to leisurely room. After a few words, she said with a smile, "you young people have their own words to talk about, so I''m not in the way here."

 Chapter 45

    After Lin''s mother left, Xiuluo filled the room again. Although the room was not big and the laying was not gorgeous, it was clean and tidy. Furniture and other things look very new, especially on the side of the west wall near the window, there is a large book case. Most of the books are on the base, and there are all four treasures of the study. There is also a picture of ink bamboo hanging on the wall. There is a pot of orchid grass on a small table at the door. These books and paintings make the whole room elegant in a moment.


    Leisurely handed her a cup of tea, "this is the Narcissus my wife used to enjoy, you try it." Xiuluo took the cup and sighed, "I don''t think you''ve been back for a few days, and your face looks better than before. Think about it, in my own home, even if it is a simple meal, jingchai cloth skirt is also happy in the heart


    Smell speech, leisurely smile "did not expect that my sister and I do not know for a long time, but so know my mind, it can be seen that people also talk about fate."


    Xiuluo said with a smile, "no, some people have known each other for a lifetime and they can only be nodding friends. Some people just know each other and feel it''s too late to meet each other. It can be seen that the fate of this hit is also determined by heaven."


    Leisurely "in this way, my sister and I hate to see each other too late!"


    They look at each other and smile, feeling that their tacit understanding is better than before.


    Not to mention that the two of them talked happily and happily, Liu''s family rushed home and told Lord Wang what happened today. When Mr. Wang heard that Lin''s sisters had hung up their names in front of the empress dowager, he knew that he could not move the Lin family. Therefore, we can only press this matter and find another way. And specially told his wife must go to the Lin family to send a thick reparation, if this thing let people to hate, it can be greatly bad.


    In addition to the rewards from the Empress Dowager and the queen, Xiuluo also brought her two new books, two boxes of tea, two pieces of silk and satin, two boxes of various Southern dried fruits, two boxes of moon cakes and six pots of chrysanthemums.


    This chrysanthemum is not an ordinary chrysanthemum, but a precious variety. Two pots of green chrysanthemum, two pots of ink chrysanthemum and two pots of purple chrysanthemum. That green chrysanthemum and ink chrysanthemum pour also just, previous life leisurely have seen. Only that purple chrysanthemum, the color has been close to dark blue, the end of the rare. The previous life leisurely also only saw the lavender chrysanthemum. In her heart, chrysanthemum has always been noble and beautiful, the first time she saw such a enchanting chrysanthemum.


    Xiuluo said with a smile, "these chrysanthemums are appreciated by the Empress Dowager. There are more than 20 pots in total, and a small half is given to you. The princess said, this flower is not for nothing. You have to take good care of it. Next year, if you can produce a few more pots. "


    Leisurely back to the way "sister back to tell the princess just don''t worry, this purple chrysanthemum grasp a little bit, but this green chrysanthemum and ink chrysanthemum are no matter."


    Xiuluo was surprised. "Are you serious?"


    Leisurely nodded: "nature is true, I think the princess''s favorite fear is the two pots of green chrysanthemum, I will do my best." In her previous life, she also liked the fresh and refined green chrysanthemum, so she specially studied the cutting method of green chrysanthemum, and successfully experimented many times, so she had enough confidence in her heart.


    After seeing off Xiuluo, Lin''s mother first breathed a sigh of relief. "Thanks to the timely arrival of Jiang Si Shi, she also brought a reward from the Empress Dowager. If not, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Cheng will not give up. "


    Lin Enron said with shame, "elder sister, I''m not to blame. I shouldn''t tell elder brother Cheng about my elder sister. Otherwise, I won''t bring this disaster to my elder sister."


    Leisurely said, "I don''t think your classmate is a powerful villain. There must be some misunderstanding. Maybe the servants of the Cheng family are talkative. It''s my fault. That day, you shouldn''t be greedy and let you take someone else''s carriage. When I think about it, I have an idea to discuss with my mother and brother. "


    They asked what was the matter, leisurely thought about it and said, "this autumn''s rent has been collected, and our family is now more affluent. It''s better to buy a carriage at home, and it''s more convenient to travel. My younger brother is now a serious scholar. I wonder if I should match him with a boy? There are some errands to help with. " "I''m always in the Academy in my daily life, so it''s useless to have a little boy," Lin said. But my mother and sister have to do embroidery for a long time to make up for the family, and then do rough work. It''s rather tiring. I''d better buy a mother-in-law or a servant girl for the family. "


    Leisurely just about to speak, mother Lin coughed and said with a smile, "there''s no need to fight any more. We''ve collected more than 70 liang of rent this autumn, and more than ten loads of grain, which is enough for our family to chew for one or two years. I had planned to buy a carriage and a family of servants a few days ago. A few days ago, there was a flood in the south, and many refugees came near the capital. I heard from your aunt Lin Yu that the four or five healthy people in the family only sold two or three hundred taels of silver. Our family doesn''t have to buy so many. I think if I can buy a family of three, it will be enough. I''ve asked Uncle Lin Yu to help me pay attention to it. If there''s a suitable one, just come and tell me. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s still my mother''s thoughtfulness. In this way, we have people in our family, and we don''t want to let other people''s flesh and blood drift away. It''s also good deeds."


    Lin Mu nodded, "isn''t it? As long as I think of you, I can''t alienate people. "


    This matter passed like this, but later Lin Enron went to leisurely again in private, "sister, what did you do for the princess to let the Empress Dowager reward you so much?"


    Leisurely said just now that she served Fang Xinsu well. The princess made a plea to the Empress Dowager and gave her these things, which also meant to take care of her. This can be hidden from Lin Mu, but not from Enron, who is familiar with the law. When is the reward of the Empress Dowager so worthless?


    Seeing that I couldn''t hide it from you, leisurely said it again. Then she told her, "just know about it. Don''t tell your mother. It will save her worry. Even you don''t need to think about it any more. After all, it''s all over, and it''s no good thinking about it. "


    Lin Enron clenched his fist. "This time, my sister''s life is good, and there is no scar left. If I hurt my face carelessly, would not my sister be ruined in her whole life? It''s no use blaming me. If my sister had come home early, she would not have suffered this disaster. "


    Leisurely advised, "well, don''t you go to the top again, I''m not good? I''ve always been lucky and lucky for your sister. When I was a child, I broke my head, not to mention the skin injury. As the fortune teller said, I''m a lucky man. I''m not ashamed to say that now I have the red sandalwood that the Empress Dowager gives me. That is to say, I will be looked up at by my husband in the future. In my life, no matter who I marry, I dare not abandon myself. This is a blessing in disguise


    Enron heavily said, "sister, don''t worry, I will come back next year, and let my sister''s marriage to a higher level."


    Lin Youran said with a smile, "well, my elder sister is waiting for the master to carry me to the sedan chair in the future."

 Chapter 46

    After Xiuluo went back, she told her what she had met in the Lin family today. Fang Xinsu listened to a cluster of Xiumei: "this starter villain, the news is very smart."


    It happened that Fang Xinjian came to see her sister. After hearing this, she said with a smile, "sister, don''t worry about it. It''s all about me. I won''t let the Wang family come up with anything."


    Since Shen Mingchang came back, she has become more and more stable with the guidance of her male elders. Fang Xinsu also wanted his younger brother to have more experience, so he just said, "anyway, just be careful. It doesn''t have much to do with you, but after all, it involves the reputation of a girl''s family. You can''t fool around. "


    Fang Xinjian nodded, "sister, don''t worry, I will be careful, I won''t involve sister Qingliu. I can''t do it myself, and elder brother Shen Ze has many ideas. Then I can ask him for advice. "


    Fang Xinsu asked, "but uncle''s nephew? My aunt said that I am a steady and capable man. In that case, you must come up with a complete plan. " Fang Xinjian nodded and agreed.


    Because of the big battle of the Lin family that day, neighbors and relatives came to inquire. Lin''s mother saved Mrs. Cheng''s life and told her that she had been rewarded by the Empress Dowager.


    Suddenly, the whole Linjia village was boiling. Although it''s not far from the capital, the Empress Dowager has always been a legendary figure. I didn''t expect that someone in their village was rewarded by the Empress Dowager.


    Leisurely originally wanted to put away the red sandalwood Ruyi, but she had to put Ruyi in the hall when she thought that many people had heard of it and wanted to see the beauty of the things given by the emperor. So in the next few days, the Lin family will be inundated by people flocking to visit. Even the Mid Autumn Festival is also a hasty reunion dinner. According to leisurely said, is not a wood carving of Ruyi? The white jade inlaid on it is not very precious. If it is not stained with the light of the empress dowager, it will be worth tens of taels of silver, not as much as that collar. However, this is a leisurely way to make complaints about it in my heart. If she dares to speak out, Shan Lin''s mother won''t let her off lightly.


    In the end, even the county magistrate was shocked and asked his wife to come and inquire about it in person. The county magistrate''s wife''s maiden name is Zhou. During the conversation, she asked leisurely about her marriage. Lin''s mother said, "my daughter just came back two days ago, and she''s young. I want to stay with her for two more years. The Empress Dowager said that the leisurely marriage would be handed over to Mrs. Hou, and the princess also said that she would help to have a look at it. Therefore, I dare not be good at it. "


    As soon as these words came out, not only the county magistrate''s wife stopped thinking. Even some people with ulterior motives in the nearby villages had to stop thinking for a while.


    Two days after the Mid Autumn Festival, Lin Yu''s aunt came over. Last time, Lin Yu''s mother asked Lin Yu to inquire.


    Aunt Lin Yu also went to the hall to worship red sandalwood Ruyi. She felt uncomfortable sitting in the hall, so she took her mother to the outside. "Your elder brother said, there''s a new family of four in the market. The man is more than 40 years old, and his family fled from the south. Unfortunately, he met a mountain Bandit on the way, and his wife and son died. There was only one daughter and a couple of nephews. His daughter is 30 years old, along with a 10-year-old granddaughter and an 8-year-old granddaughter. His daughter used to work in the landowner''s house, and the work on the stove was quick. Now I''m going to help that man do the work under the stove to support his family. There are also people who want to buy her, but she insists on having a family together. Others would not like to see his family old and small. According to your elder brother, this family is quite suitable for your family. Although the old man was in his forties and couldn''t do heavy work, he could still do some simple horse feeding and sweeping. It''s not nice to say that your family is not the same as other people''s family. I really bought a young man in his twenties and thirties. I''m afraid there will be a long tongued woman''s random arrangement. I''m talkative. Don''t take it to heart. "


    Lin''s mother said, "my sister-in-law and elder brother are all bent on making plans for our mother. It''s too late for me to be grateful. Since the elder brother said yes, it''s not that bad. I don''t know how much money they want to redeem themselves. I''ll take the money tomorrow. "


    Aunt Lin Yu said, "this one is cheaper than the ordinary one. A family of four only needs twenty-two taels of silver. As it happens, tomorrow is the market. Didn''t you say you wanted to buy a horse last time? Tomorrow, let Dayu pick one with you, and then buy the car, and everything will live together. " The next morning, Lin''s mother took Lin Enron to the county. Originally leisurely also wanted to go with her, but mother Lin said that neither the human teeth nor the livestock market was the place where the girl''s family should go, so she just wanted to stay at home.


    Well, if you don''t go, don''t go. It''s not easy. There are few people at home these days. It''s better to be quiet.


    In the evening, leisurely just finished dinner, he heard a horse''s hoof outside the door. She got up and came to the yard. She saw Lin''s mother come in with a woman in her thirties and two children about ten years old. Behind her, an old man was looking at some old people leading in a jujube red horse.


    The old man asked, "Ma''am, where can I get this horse?"


    Lin''s mother frowned. "I just want to buy a horse, but I forget to build a stable. Just, it doesn''t look like it''s going to rain. Take it to the backyard to be company with the pigs and sheep. Tomorrow I''ll build a shelter outside the gate, and then I''ll put the carriage there. "


    The old man promised to take the horse to the backyard. Thanks for the promotion of Putonghua by the predecessors of Dakang Dynasty, the Mandarin of this family is quite good, which saves the trouble of the eldest.


    Leisurely quickly made tea for Lin Mu and Enron, and they both drank it. When he came back, Lin Mu Fang looked at their family and said, "although our family is not rich, it is not mean. As long as you work steadfastly, there will always be a meal for you. Come and see me, young master. You''ve already seen me. This is my daughter. You can call ''girl'' later


    Then he pointed them out to you one by one, "this is your uncle Liu, this is her daughter, Mrs. Xu, this is his grandson, Shitou, granddaughter Daya. In the future, Daya will follow you. Stone will follow your brother. Mrs. Xu was in charge of the kitchen chores and sweeping. What do you think? "


    Leisurely nodded, "do as your mother says." Then he looked at several people and said, "of course, our family is not such a mean family, but we can''t tolerate the big bullying of the master by slaves. Although my younger brother is young, he is also a serious scholar. Although I''m not talented, I still have a little thin face in the wives of Zhongyi Marquis''s house and Changping Marquis''s house. I don''t ask much of you. You should do your duty well and keep your mouth shut. No matter how threatening and luring outsiders are, if anyone dares to talk nonsense outside, don''t blame me for being impolite. Since we can buy people in our family, we can sell them again. Well, it''s getting late. There''s a bathroom in the back. There''s a change of clothes for you. Take turns to wash and gargle. "


    Several people respectfully agreed to go.


    Seeing that they all went to the backyard, Lin''s mother asked, "my daughter, did you say something like that just now

 Chapter 47

    Leisurely said, "mother, if I can, I don''t want to. But since they are slaves bought by our family, there must be rules. If not, for a long time, it will be the root of the disaster. " When she first came here, she did not adapt to such a feudal society, especially as a slave without personal freedom. But since it is necessary to follow the rules here to survive here, now she has well adapted to the rules here and can use it to do useful things for herself.


    Enron also echoed: "my sister is right, my mother must not be too soft hearted."


    Lin Mu nodded and said, "don''t worry, I won''t hold you back."


    Leisurely set up the meal, mother and son all washed their hands.


    After a while, the four had already finished their bath and put on their clean clothes. Leisurely gave them some old coarse cloth clothes of their own, although there were some patches inevitably. But it''s cleaner than what they used to wear.


    Leisurely nodded, "well, looking at the spirit of more, the kitchen left you food, you go to eat."


    The lady Xu was not in a hurry to eat. Instead, she took her daughter to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table before eating in the kitchen. This makes leisurely in the heart secretly nodded, still be some winks.


    After taking them to dinner, Mrs. Lin took them to clean up the two utility rooms in the West Wing room and let them stay.


    After returning to the house, Mrs. Lin said to her children, "let''s make do with it tonight. Tomorrow, brother an, you can go to your uncle''s house and find some people to help you build two rooms and two shacks in the empty space opposite our house for Lao Liu tou and his grandson. It''s very inconvenient not to be crowded in this house. "


    Enron agreed with a smile, and Lin''s mother moved out a box and handed it to leisurely, "good boy, you are a smart man. The housekeeper and the Council are here. I think you are better than me. Today, I''ll give you my home in front of your brother. "


    Leisurely quickly refused "mother, how can this make you happy?"


    Lin''s mother said, "what can''t be done? Sooner or later, you have to go through these things. Instead of going to other people''s homes, you are not familiar with life and land. It''s better to practice in your own home first. If you go out of the house in the future, you won''t be black and don''t know anything. "


    Enron also in the side to persuade, leisurely see decline, but, then accepted.


    When I went back, I opened it and found that there were two ingots of silver, several pieces of broken silver and two strings of copper coins in the box. It adds up to twenty-five taels of silver.


    Lin''s mother didn''t say how long the money would take, but she thought that this was the capital of her family. After that, there was nothing urgent. I was too embarrassed to ask Lin Mu for money.


    The next morning, Enron went to my uncle''s house, and then to the stone and carpenter''s house in the next village.


    Less than half an hour later, stone, wood, tiles and so on were sent over one after another. It is said that the Lin family is going to build a house, and more than ten young adults who are idle at home in the village come at once. Fortunately, just after the festival, the family''s vegetables, fish and meat are still abundant, and Mrs. Xu''s hands and feet are also quick. Therefore, although she is a little busy, her lunch also makes everyone''s mouth full of oil.


    Within five or six days, two huts and two animal sheds were built. In this way, in the future, old Liu tou can live here with his grandson, and the horses will be raised here. If they are a little far away from the yard, there will be no bad smell.


    When building this house, leisurely also quietly asked Lin Mu, "is there anyone who is not willing to build our house in that place?"


    Lin Mu was puzzled and said, "why do some people not like it? The pond in front of us is also ours. I heard that your grandfather bought it when he was alive. As long as we are willing, no one else can control us. " Leisurely then knows that the pond on the northeast corner of the yard belongs to her family. She always thought it was shared by the village. If she had known it was her family, she would have made good use of it.


    Before he could figure out how to use the pond, someone was ahead of him. After breakfast, Fang Cao (Da Ya) came to say that his grandfather had something to see her. Leisurely although feel some doubts, but still met his old man.


    He rubbed his hands and said, "Miss, I just went to the pond and dug some river mud to have a look. There should be lotus roots in this pond. I don''t know when the young lady is going to pick and dig? "


    "What? Lotus root? Never before. How do you know? " One side of the Lin mother asked strangely.


    "If I go back to my wife, I used to dig lotus roots for people when I was in Anqing. It can be said that he has been dealing with lotus root field for half a lifetime, so if there is lotus root in a pond, you will know a little about it. " Old Liu said respectfully.


    Leisurely then asked, "according to your experience, how many lotus roots are there in this pool? How long will it take if we dig? How many people do you need to help you prepare? "


    Old Liu tou thought for a moment and said, "I dare not say if there are too many. After all, the pool is only one mu in total. However, there are always several hundred catties, but there is no need to ask for help. This job can not be helped without experience. But if I come by myself, it will take me seven or eight days to finish. In addition, the clothes I used to wear were lost on the way to the north. I''d like to ask the girl to give me some leather materials, and I''ll make them all over again. "


    Leisurely asked, "what kind of leather do you want?"


    "No matter what kind of leather it is, as long as it is thicker and better waterproof," Lao Liu replied


    Lin''s mother said to one side, "it''s a coincidence that a big cattle died a few years ago. Your uncle helped to make the leather nitrate, but it didn''t work there. It''s enough to make a suit. I''ll find it out now. "


    Then Mrs. Lin went to find out the leather and asked, "can you sew clothes? Otherwise, your daughter will do it for you. "


    Old Liu tou said with a smile, "if you go back to Mrs. Hui, you can''t sew this with ordinary needle and thread. It''s not strong, and it''s leaking. I have my own way. Don''t worry, madam With that, he went out with cow skin in his arms.


    I don''t know what method he used. Anyway, he made a set of ancient waterproof clothes and shoe covers similar to modern rubber soled boots. However, he did not rush to dig lotus root, but first dug a drain to drain most of the water from the pond.


    Leisurely, seeing that he was quite interested, he let him go and let Mrs. Xu help him. The big deal was to lose a piece of cowhide.


    Who would like to, after more than an hour, the grass happily ran by and said, "girl, grandfather, he dug lotus root, there are many."


    Did he really dig it out? Even Enron, who was studying hard, was shocked. His mother went to the pond together and saw a lot of lotus roots piled up on the bank. It seemed that there were more than ten lotus roots. With all this, Lao liutou has no harvest and is worth it.

 Chapter 48

    As a result, Lao liutou dug for ten days. In such a small place, he finally dug out thousands of kilograms of lotus roots. Many people were shocked. When uncle came to see so many things, he quickly asked his two long-term workers to help. Although they don''t know how to dig, it''s OK to help them carry the burden and drain.


    Some other families with ponds also moved their minds and went back home one after another to attack their own ponds. Although not as much as their family''s output, but also some harvest, suddenly every family is happy.


    Finally, after the lotus roots in the pond are dug out. Leisurely left three or four hundred jin, according to the old Liu''s method of preservation. According to him, according to this method, lotus roots can be preserved for at least five or six months. In this way, these lotus roots can be preserved until the new year. At that time, it''s not more cost-effective to sell some more than it is now? If it''s not for the end, there''s really no spare place to store, leisurely is one that you don''t want to sell.


    The remaining 100 catties were distributed to relatives and friends, and the rest were sold to the peddlers. Because there are not many lotus roots in the capital, most of them are transported from the south. Because of the huge transportation cost, the price of lotus roots is not cheap. In the case of ordinary vegetables are two or three Wen a Jin, these lotus root sold 35 Wen a Jin price, also can be regarded as a sky high price. Moreover, the output is not expected to be more than 1000 Jin. In the end, more than 1000 Jin will be sold, and Lin''s net income will be 40 Liang silver. It''s almost time for the season''s harvest.


    Generally speaking, the price is close to the retail price, and ordinary vendors don''t have such good intentions. Just that day to collect lotus root is not others, it is with Lin Enron had a meeting of Shen Ze.


    Lin Enron was very happy to meet Shen Ze, and invited him to come to his home. He also specially let Fangcao brew the good tea brought back by his sister and introduced him to his mother. Lin''s mother heard from her son once last time. She knew that he was the nephew of marquis Shen and had a reputation as a scholar, but she was warm and not proud. When I saw him today, I felt that he was really talented and gentle, and that he had a good impression. Lin''s mother still sighed in her heart. It''s a pity that he is the nephew of marquis Shen. Everyone, I''m sure you don''t like leisurely''s maidservant background. If her daughter can find such a son-in-law in the future, she will be satisfied.


    Since they are acquaintances, Shen Ze naturally won''t let them suffer. Other people''s income is about 20 Wen, and their family''s income is 35 yuan. Just repeatedly told not to publicize. Naturally, the Lin family knows how important it is. They''re afraid that they won''t make any money. They''ve given them face, and they can''t get in the way of other people''s money, so they haven''t mentioned it to the outside world.


    Lin''s mother and son stay at home for lunch, but Shen Ze shirks other things and insists on leaving. Lin''s mother and son took him to the door, just met leisurely who was getting off the carriage.


    Leisurely got up early in the morning and went to a mounting shop in the county town to pick up the floor mounted screen. As soon as I got home, I met Shen Ze who was going out. It was too late to escape, so we had to meet each other. Fortunately, with Lin Mu and An''an on one side, it was not unusual.


    Shen Ze is not good at staring at other people''s girl. But just now he glanced at her casually. He also felt that the girl''s face was beautiful and elegant. She didn''t really look like a servant girl. No wonder the ladies and ladies in that house looked at her differently.


    Leisurely also thinks that the man on the other side has a resolute face and a calm demeanor, which is much more beautiful than most of the frail scholars in this era.


    At a glance, they set off a little ripple in each other''s heart.


    In addition to lotus root, even five or six kilograms of big fish also fished up dozens, two or three kilograms of small fish there are always more than a hundred. Finally, five or six big fish weighing more than ten jin were caught. Leisurely bought two big tanks from the town and picked out more than thirty or forty big fish to raise. The rest were given away or pickled. Some villages came to buy them after hearing the news, and finally sold them for more than two liang silver.


    However, old Liu tou also said that this was because the lotus root had not been dug in the pond for many years, and the base fertilizer was sufficient, so it was collected all at once. So is this fish. I don''t know how many years I haven''t fished it. That''s why there are so many big fish. I''m afraid there won''t be so much output next year. Even less than half is not bad. What''s more, Lin Youran has a new idea in his mind. Leisurely and generous, he rewarded Lao Liu with two liang silver and a pot of good wine, which was regarded as the reward for his income generation for the Lin family.


    After the lotus root harvest, the mud in the pond was almost cleared. Leisurely listen to old Liu''s advice, bought some small fish to put in the pond. Originally, she wanted to raise some more ducks here. As a result, Lao Liu said that it would be cold on the horse. When she bought the duck seedlings, she had not achieved the same length. She was afraid that there would be more casualties if she had to resist the cold winter. Don''t wait until it''s warm next spring.


    Leisurely listened to old Liu tou''s suggestion, did not pay more attention to the pond. Twenty nine is Shen''s day, and his family will be very busy at that time. Therefore, on the 27th day, she took the gift she had prepared and asked old Liu Tou to drive the carriage and bring the grass to Hou''s house.


    As soon as the woman on the corner door saw her coming, she asked her to sit in the hall and helped to move all the things in the car down. In addition to the carefully prepared needlework, there are also two baskets of fresh crisp lotus roots and a vat of big fish. The woman said, "Oh, this fish is really big. It''s still alive. It''s hard to find."


    Leisurely smile, "it''s just from my own pond. It''s not worth much money. It''s hard for my mother to help me carry such heavy things. " Then he stuffed a purse in the past.


    The woman answered with a smile and let her wait here. She went inside to tell the truth.


    After a while, he saw Feixu coming with a group of women and servant girls. As soon as she saw leisurely, she joked, "I heard you brought some good things. Let me see what they are? You are not allowed to take some ordinary goods to prevaricate your wife''s birthday. If not, I will not follow her if she doesn''t say so. "


    Leisurely smile back "then I can be miserable, sister with the wife''s side what good things have not seen, we are small, some are just some home things, presumably can''t enter the eyes of my sister, so I still go home." Finish saying, then make to turn round to want to walk of appearance.


    Feixu grabbed her and said, "OK, don''t install samples there. OK, I''ve seen all of them. It happened that the comprador in the kitchen said that just after the Mid Autumn Festival, there were no 20 big fish of the same size in the market. On the day of the first lady''s birthday, at least a dozen tables should be prepared in the house. Will the fish without a table be divided into different sizes? These things are just the solution to the urgent situation in the government. " Say, then let a person send that lotus root and big fish to big kitchen.


    Then, he took her arm and walked all the way to Yuehua hospital. There are several women behind carrying the landing screen.

 Chapter 49

    To Yuehua courtyard, just the girls are talking here, a room of yingyanyan very busy. Seeing her coming, they all gave a few friendly greetings and had to pay a visit one by one.


    Seeing the big Kang screen, Han said with a smile, "it''s hard for you to worry about your family affairs all day long at home and do such delicate work."


    Shen Xiang said eagerly, "Oh, big aunt, don''t beat around the bush. Sister Qingliu is not an outsider. Let''s see what the embroidery is


    Shen Ying said with a smile, "sister Xiang is still jumping off like this." Shen Xiang Du mouth "I don''t believe you don''t want to see, I''m telling the truth, not like some people face to face a set, behind a set."


    This words poke into someone''s lung tube, Shen Ying was shocked in her heart, but she didn''t dare to show it. She also has a feeling in her heart. I don''t know when, although my mother and sister still smile at her as they used to, they will give her a share of anything delicious and delicious. That is to say, my father says that my wife treats her as if she were her own, which is really rare. But she always had a kind of unspeakable sense of disobedience, always felt that her mother and sister had some estrangement from her.


    Shen Tian takes a quiet look at Shen Ying and says with a smile, "well, second sister, Xiang''er always speaks straight. It''s not aimed at you. Don''t be angry with her secretly."


    Then, without waiting for her reaction, Shen Tian looked at Han''s "mother, the embroidery work of Qingliu has always been outstanding. Our sisters want to see it soon."


    Looking at other people talking and laughing, Shen Ying secretly clenched her fist. On the surface, her sister''s words are an excuse for her, but in fact, they are alluding to her small stomach? Sure enough, what my aunt said was right. No matter how obedient she was, her mother and sister would not really pay attention to her. When we think about the fourth younger brother who was taken away at birth, who was raised by her own mother and was not close to their mother and daughter at all, she could not help but have a sense of resentment.


    At this time, Han''s smile let people open the brocade cover, suddenly a exclamation came, interrupted Shen Ying''s thinking.


    I saw a bright moonlight, clusters of golden osmanthus quietly in full bloom, hidden in the shade between the green leaves. In the distance, there are small bridges, flowing water and orchids, which are really desirable.


    Han took the lead in nodding, "hard for you, such a large piece of embroidery, I''m afraid it took a lot of effort?" He went to the front again, looked at it carefully, and said with admiration, "I see that your child''s craftsmanship has become more and more refined, and the embroidery work has become more and more flexible. It has such a taste of Huiwen."


    Just as he said that, he heard Shen Xiang, who ran to the back of the screen, exclaim. They asked, "what''s the matter?"


    Shen Xiang pointed to the back and said, "this... Is actually double-sided embroidery!"


    Double sided embroidery? Hearing this, they all went to the back to have a look. It''s really double-sided embroidery! Although the pattern on the back is the same as that on the front, the color is different. To tell you the truth, people have seen double-sided embroidery before, but most of them are fans, handkerchiefs and so on.


    This is the first time for Han to see such a large double-sided embroidered screen. He said happily, "I''ve received a lot of gifts these days. If I''m smart, this is the first one."


    Leisurely then modest waved his hand and said, "madam, I''m just more than others."


    Han patted her hand and said, "good boy, this is where you stand. With both talent and dedication, you may not be able to achieve anything in the future! In this way, you also have a specialty After that, he said to the girls in the room, "you are all old, and you don''t have to avoid some things. Although we are girls of other families, our future marriage will not be so bad. But things are changeable. If a girl''s family has the ability to settle down, she will have more confidence in marriage. "


    All the girls quickly stood up and bowed to listen. Han took the opportunity to say a lot about how to behave. He knew that the maid had already prepared lunch, so he just gave up. Then he said to leisurely, "it''s not easy to come here. I have to stay for two days before I leave. Let the two servants who come with you go home first, and I''ll pick you up after my birthday. " Several girls also followed suit. Leisurely, they wanted to go back today. When they saw that it was difficult for them to give up, they had to answer. Because there are still several distant guests in the guest house, Han wants to take the girls to the reception. Instead of Feixu, he gives leisurely to Feixu. Feixu asked for a table of dishes in the kitchen, and invited several sisters who were familiar with each other for a long time. They were all 15 or 16 years old and loved to talk and laugh, and they didn''t have the master around. They were more casual and had a lively meal.


    In the end, I was worried about being on duty in the afternoon, so I didn''t dare to go too far. I just ate a few glasses of fruit wine. Picturesque also specially paid the big kitchen to make leisurely''s favorite steamed buns with bean curd skin and noodles with oil spilled saozi, which were shared by several sisters. Leisurely eat sweat, but also hearty incomparable, she thought countless times, that through the master is really a full eater, many of the famous snacks in the past were brought to this time and space by him. But thanks to him, how else can I eat the food with the flavor of my hometown? After dinner, the dishes were removed, and naturally a little servant girl put on a good tea on the table.


    A few people are talking about lively, leisurely then see with Han''s mother-in-law servant girls have come back one after another, then know that the front of the banquet has been scattered. Feixu several people are going to work, leisurely said with a smile, "you go first busy, I go to the princess please go."


    Feixu said with a smile, "it''s right. Since you left, the princess often mentioned you. I''m afraid the meeting is already waiting. Go quickly."


    Screen quickly stood up and said with a smile, "isn''t it? The princess has said it not once or twice. My sister and I are going back to work together. " So they went to di Cui Zhai together.


    Although it is late autumn, the garden of the Marquis''s residence is still full of flowers and flowing water, and the pavilions and pavilions are hidden among the green shade. Even though it has been through countless times, everything here seems to be dreamlike and full of unreal.


    In the courtyard of Di Cui Zhai, there are several servant girls standing in the corridor. When they come, one of them says with a smile, "sister Qingliu is here. The princess is still talking about it." Then he opened the bamboo curtain and said, "the princess said that if my sister came, I would go in directly."


    When Liu went in, Fang Xinsu was sitting on the couch talking to Xiuluo. After leisurely going out, all the maids and maids in the courtyard began to take Xiuluo as the leader, and Fang Xinsu thought highly of her.


    Seeing leisurely coming, Fang Xinsu said to Xiuluo with a smile, "isn''t it" speaking of Cao Cao? "? Just as she was, she came


    Smiling and looking at leisurely, "I thought you were thinking about your little sisters, forgetting us all?"

 Chapter 50

    Leisurely knew that Fang Xinsu was joking with her, but she was not annoyed at hearing the speech. After a salute, she stood up and said, "look what the princess said. As soon as I heard that the banquet in front of me was over, I hurried over. I didn''t even have time to take a sip of the top-grade Pine Mountain cloud that Feixu made for me, and she didn''t like it. When I came all the way here, I didn''t even have a mouthful of hot water. It made the princess say so to me. I knew how I should use the Pine Mountain Cloud and then come back. It''s not flattering. "


    Fang Xinsu looked at the screen with a smile and said, "do you hear me? I''m going to make a cup of good tea for your sister Qingliu, and then I''ll pick out some good snacks and fruits. After a while, I''ll really take her away. Don''t we just wait for several days?"


    After that, he took leisurely to the round table and sat down. "I thought you should have come two days ago, but I didn''t expect you to come so late. It can be seen that you are still comfortable at home and don''t want to come out."


    Leisurely said, "I wanted to come here two days earlier, but something happened at home and I was busy for more than half a month, so I came later. Fortunately, it''s not in vain. I finally added a dish to my wife and girls. It''s also my idea. "


    Fang Xinsu nodded. "I heard from my aunt that you brought the fresh fish and lotus root for lunch today. It''s really delicious. It''s said that it''s from your own pond. It''s hard for you to bring it all the way here. Since you came home, you have become more and more capable. Even the fresh water can be raised. "


    Leisurely pursed a smile, "princess, don''t praise me. I don''t have that ability. The pond was handed down by my ancestors and hasn''t been excavated for many years. This time, it''s also a coincidence that I got these things. "


    Just at this time, picturesque took two little maids to bring up two hot teas and some delicate snacks.


    Fang Xinsu pointed to the cup and said, "if you taste this tea, it''s not much worse than that of my aunt."


    Leisurely pick up the cup, gently open the cup cover, only to see the milky white cup is light blue tea, not drink, it has a fragrance. She said with a smile, "you don''t need to drink this tea. Just smell it and you''ll know it''s good." Then he sipped, nodded and said with a smile, "the color of the soup is bright, and the tea tastes fresh and mellow. It''s really good tea."


    Fang Xinsu nodded, "I know you must like this tea. Others say it''s too light, but I drink it just right. If you like, when you go, take two cans with you


    Leisurely quickly refused, "this tea is not ordinary. Even the water is not ordinary spring water. Since the girl likes it, she can keep it for herself. I went back home, and I didn''t have a matching spring to brew. I didn''t stain the good tea. "


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "this is what people who really love tea say. It''s a pity that although many people have famous springs and flower dew to make it, they mostly do it for the sake of vulgarity. How many people can really love tea? Since I gave it to you, you can take it. This is from the magistrate of Anhui Province. The Empress Dowager gave me several cans when she saw that I liked it. But the doctor said that I was always weak and didn''t let me drink too much. Cousins, they don''t love this. It''s bad to put it in vain. In your stomach, it''s not insulting. "


    Leisurely then nodded, "in that case, I''ll get this cheap. Fortunately, today I came with a gift, otherwise I would be embarrassed to accept this big gift. "


    With that, he opened a package he had with him and took out a pair of camellia flowers woven with silk thread. The flower is made into a knot with tender green silk thread, and then circled to form the shape of Camellia. Coupled with the oil green leaves, it looks like it is real from a distance.


    Fang Xinsu held it in his hand for a while and said with a smile, "I can''t help thinking about it. I saw your double-sided embroidery in my aunt''s place this morning and I already felt very happy. I didn''t expect that you still had many strange ideas."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s nothing. Sometimes when embroidery is too boring to do, it''s more sober than embroidery. One is to change the mood and practice the flexibility of the fingers. Another is not afraid of the princess''s jokes. If you have the extra money, you can also exchange it for some powder money. " Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "what''s the joke? It''s so good that you earn money by your own ability. Speaking of which, I happen to have something to trouble you. I was afraid that I would be rude to you if I spoke rashly just now. Now that you mentioned money, it''s easy to do. I want to ask you to help me make some fresh knots for people to use. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "now that you are a princess, it''s my blessing that you can take a fancy to my craftsmanship. Just open your mouth and I won''t be able to refuse."


    Fang Xinsu straightened his face and said, "in a few days, it will be the Double Ninth Festival. I have prepared festival gifts for the empress dowager, the emperor and the empress, but I have just finished the Mid Autumn Festival gift. This Double Ninth Festival, I feel that there is nothing to send. Although I have prepared some things, they are all ordinary things, which are not rare. I think the big screen you embroidered for my aunt is very good, but now there is not much time, so I don''t need to think about that. Now, I''m tired of you to tie some fresh knots for me and join me in the Festival ceremony. It''s a bit fresh. "


    He nodded leisurely. "So, since the girl looks up to me, I should try my best. It''s just that I don''t know what the girl wants? "


    Fang Xinsu frowned. "I haven''t thought about it for a while. What kind of tricks do you play?"


    Leisurely said, "I''ve heard my wife say before that the Empress Dowager likes lotus most. Don''t I give her a lotus first? If the girls don''t match, think of something else. "


    Fang Xinsu nodded and quickly told the maid to get the silk thread.


    After a while, a servant girl brought a lot of silk thread, all kinds of colors, and some fragmentary beads, gemstones and other things.


    I saw leisurely choose the purplish red and pink silk thread, hands flexible action, she first with pink silk thread woven into petals, and then purplish red silk thread in the outer edge of each petal woven on two or three lines. The petals were sewn with needle and thread, and the stamens were woven with goose yellow silk thread. At last, the bright red tassels were put on. It took more than half an hour before and after that, and a lifelike lotus appeared in front of people''s eyes.


    Everyone is watching leisurely with a few silk thread out of the lotus, this is not the same as directly see the finished product, when the lotus finished, you look at leisurely eyes are full of incredible.


    Fang Xinsu took it in his hand and looked at it for a long time. "If it''s really smart, it''s just like the real thing."

 Chapter 51

    Xiuluo nodded beside him. "I thought I had some experience after staying in the palace for several years. I never thought that sister Qingliu had such skills at such an age. It''s really rare. It''s more lifelike than the palace flowers in the palace. The Empress Dowager will like the lotus like this very much. However, the Empress Dowager likes to worship Buddhism, and she prefers the blue lotus. "


    Fang Xinsu nodded, "thank you for your advice." And he leisurely said, "in that case, you can make a pair of lotus flowers with navy blue silk thread. But I look at this pink lotus is also very good-looking, horizontal and vertical already have one, you hit one to make a pair. The palace of the Empress Dowager is full of dull colors, and occasionally bright colors are good. In this way, you can add a pair of peonies, a pair of chrysanthemums, the ordinary knots you used to give me, and eight pairs of fresh patterns. I''ll find two little maids to help you manage the thread. Just tell Xiuluo what you need. "


    Leisurely and helplessly nodded, "if I had known this, I shouldn''t have taken out the camellia. Instead, I found many jobs for myself."


    The screen said with a smile, "it''s hard work for those who are good at it. Who let my sister be so skillful? Good elder sister, you also tell me a little bit about your craft. If the princess has any orders in the future, she will have a helper. " She half jokingly asked these words out, also don''t know how light willow will reply.


    Leisurely look at her appearance, this girl is also brought out by herself. Although she lacks a bit of spirituality, she is more pragmatic and steady. She nods her head. "Since you want to learn, I''m willing to teach, but how much you can learn depends on your understanding." After hearing this, Huaping quickly looked at Fang Xinsu and said, "princess, I finally begged sister Qingliu to agree. I''ll take care of the work, princess." Fang Xinsu nodded. She always liked to be such a self-motivated servant girl.


    Several other servant girls looked at each other. Although they were greedy, they were not so familiar with leisurely after all. They were embarrassed to speak. Now it''s too late to speak. Huaping has happily managed the East ear room and let leisurely go to work. The other side Xinsu said, "I think there are windows on both sides of the ear room. If the room is bright, I can still see the garden behind by opening the window. When sister Qingliu is tired of her work, she can have a look at the flowers and plants in the yard and have a rest. "


    Fang Xinsu nodded, "what you want is to let your master just do his work at ease. She doesn''t have to worry about other things. Let people watch. Don''t go and disturb her if you have nothing to do. But don''t let her be too tired. After a long time, it will hurt her eyes. "


    Screen promised to go, and found two usual good little maid in the past to help manage the line, play some knots. Although they are not so skillful as leisurely, some of the simplest knots they can still make. With their help and a grass nearby, the leisurely speed is much faster.


    Between chatting, after hearing about the incident, he leisurely asked Fang Xinsu, "I heard that the princess has bought a batch of little servant girls and is training in Fang''s house. I''d like to ask the princess for permission. "


    Fang Xinsu said doubtfully, "it''s just some rough servant girls. What''s worth worrying about?" Leisurely pointed to the door with a smile and said, "the little girl who came with me didn''t come to my house long. I haven''t made time to train her these days. I heard that Fang''s house is just training her little maid, so I want to get in touch with the princess''s light and take her to the class. We don''t have to be as good as the maid around the princess. We just need to have good manners. "


    "What''s the big deal? This little idea is also worth saying to me in such a big way, since you have this heart, I will send her to someone. It''s just that mother song, who teaches her little servant girl there, is a tough girl. If she doesn''t learn well, she will be punished. " Fang Xinsu said slowly.


    Leisurely nod a way "this is all ought to, that wench still some jump off, kill to kill the temperament is also good." Then when she went out, she called the grass to her and said, "in the future, if angel really wins the imperial examination, she will have to buy more people. You are still young, and you are the first girl in our family. Naturally, your behavior and identity are different than those later. Since you came to our house, I have no time to teach you. Just a few days ago, the princess bought a group of little girls and trained in fangfu. I went to the princess and asked you to join me in the training. Would you like to go Fang Cao nodded, "I listen to miss. I will do whatever Miss asks me to do."


    Leisurely said, "naturally, the mother around the princess is very strict in teaching. After you go there, you are eager to learn the rules. Even if you are scolded occasionally, you have to bear with not playing. Do you know?" Fang Cao nodded and leisurely gave her a few pieces of broken silver and some copper coins, which were packed in lotus. "In other people''s house, remember to do more and talk less. I know that the little girls can''t avoid gangsters. Don''t get involved in these things after you go. If you stay there for ten and a half days at most, you''ll come back. Even if you suffer some grievances, you''ll have to endure them first. After that, I''ll make the decision for you. " Fang Cao nodded, picked up her things, and went out with a woman from Fang Fu.


    In the next few days, there were so many people coming and going in Hou''s house. Han and the girls were busy waiting for guests, so they didn''t care about leisurely.


    On the first day, the house was full of guests. Shen Lian followed her sister and helped to greet the concubines. Since her father returned home, aunt Bai sneaked out of the yard and cried twice. She was scolded by her father. Her father also extended her forbidden time, and the eldest brother was forced to study in the village by the marquis. Aunt Bai must have suffered a loss, and no one would take care of her, so she finally settled down for the time being.


    But Shen Lian is still a little worried. She still sends someone to keep an eye on Aunt Bai, who is still forbidden to walk, for fear that she will make something wrong.


    Shen Ying''s heart is very angry, in the past, her mother has always been reluctant to see Shen Lian. Shen Lian is seldom brought to attend such occasions. She is always asked to wait on the old lady in Ninghui hospital. But the old lady didn''t ask for permission. Few distinguished guests would visit her except her close relatives. Therefore, outsiders seldom see Miss Shen''s face and know little about her. I didn''t expect that this time, Han asked Shen lian to entertain guests with her. Shen Lian''s mouth was more sweet and clever than her, which attracted the attention of several ladies.


    When he heard someone asking, Han said with a smile, "that child is filial. He used to accompany the old lady, so you haven''t seen him. Now I''m really old. If you don''t pull it out, I''m afraid you don''t know there''s a third girl in our house. "


    When they saw that Shen Lian was young, but she was bright and moving, and she was straightforward, they kept it in mind. After all, the Shen family is now thriving. The loyal Hou Jian is in the emperor''s heart. Naturally, the eldest daughter is not so easy to marry, but it''s good to marry a common daughter.

 Chapter 52

    Aunt Bai wanted to make something wrong, but now she had more than enough. The next people are stepping on the high and holding the low. Seeing that she was forbidden by the Marquis himself, the eldest young master was banished to the countryside by the Marquis, and the old lady didn''t protect her as before, few people would listen to her. If it wasn''t for the fact that there was a third girl who was quite respectable in front of Mrs. Hou recently, she might not be able to eat three meals a day.


    At noon, there was a father-in-law in the palace. The fifth prince came to celebrate his birthday with the empress''s reward and gift. For a moment, the voice of congratulations was even higher.


    A lively banquet has come to an end. Some distinguished guests have stood up and left. Han personally led people to the second door one by one. While chatting with the guests, he suddenly heard a noise coming from the door.


    Han frowned and saw the second housekeeper in a hurry. At this time, he did not care that there were still many VIP guests present. He knelt down and said, "tell me, madam, there is a scholar like man outside, holding a gold hairpin engraved with three girls'' taboos, saying it is..."


    Han''s Willow eyebrows stood up and asked in a cold voice, "what are you talking about? Just tell the truth. "


    The second housekeeper quickly bowed his head and said, "I have an affair with the third girl. Please help me. There are many carriages waiting outside, and many ladies and ladies have heard of them. "


    Shen Lian, who was behind Han, was shocked when she heard this, and the guests around her began to talk about it. Seeing this, Shen Lian quickly knelt down in front of Han. "Although her daughter is stupid, she can''t do such a thing to ruin the style of her family. She asks her mother to be aware of it." She saw Han''s face was still cold, and then looked at the people around her. After hearing this, she still had a lot of comments, and she hated the person who had bad reputation.


    Shen Lian knows this situation and scene. No matter how much she says, it''s in vain. She can only survive in danger. She kowtowed once again, "my daughter is unfilial. Although I don''t know what kind of villain she is trapped in me, she never wants to damage the reputation of the government by herself. I hereby swear that I will not spare those who have bad reputation, even if I become a devil. " Finish saying, then turn head to bump into the shadow wall in the Chuihua door, although there is a servant girl desperate to block for a while, but still suddenly hit blood DC.


    The men who heard the news in the front yard just came to investigate the situation and saw this scene. The fifth Prince followed the loyal and righteous marquis. He could not help but think to himself that his father-in-law''s family were all martyrs. Last time he came to look for his mother-in-law, this time he was replaced by his future sister-in-law. Ah, I don''t know who is so ungrateful. When someone else is celebrating their birthday, they''ll do this.


    Han saw Shen Lian so strong, but also unexpected, quickly sent for the doctor. Then he ran to him and held Shen Lian in his arms. "My poor daughter, what kind of temperament are you? Don''t your mother know? Why don''t you think so?"


    Then, Han said to the second manager, "if you don''t send someone to tie him up and send him to the government, how can you let him shout outside?"


    The second steward wiped the sweat on his face and said, "Madam Hui, the slave did the same thing. Who knows that madam Wu Yangbo saw it and insisted on justice. She ordered someone to untie the scholar, so she let him shout..."


    When they heard this, they suddenly realized that it was so. Wuyang Bofu is the home of empress Wei in the palace. Last time, because of Princess Le''an, empress Wei was reprimanded and won the title. Princess Lezhen was also sent to Bailian temple to worship Buddha. Mrs. Zhongyi, because Lezhen and her husband intruded into the backyard of the Marquis''s house, almost died. Unexpectedly, Wuyang mansion came up with such a way to revenge.


    It''s just that many people feel shameless about the way the government of Wuyang does when it comes to talking about the reputation of women''s dependents.


    Before Han''s mouth, Shen Mingchang said in a cold voice, "Madam Wu Yang is too lenient in her management. Someone, please go and take Mrs. Wei aside, tie up the maniac who has ruined my daughter''s reputation and send her to shuntianfu. I''m puzzled. With the same gold hairpin, I can conclude that my daughter has an affair with others. Come on, go outside and ask Mrs. Wei if she has anything to do with this scholar? Otherwise, why does she care so much about our family? " Then a clever boy ran to the gate and called out this five or six times. Originally also want to see more will be lively Mrs. Wei, hear this gas all over tremble "really how unreasonable. It''s shameless of Shen Mingchang to speak. " She took a cold look at the self assertive mother sun and snorted. He said to the servants outside the door, "I''m really sorry. Just now, it was our servants who were short-sighted and made their own decisions. Your wife is a virtuous and virtuous person praised by the Empress Dowager. Under her guidance, the lady of your mansion must be knowledgeable and polite and abide by women''s morality. She will never do such a thing. It was only under my rule that this disaster came into being. Today, my family is in a hurry. I''ll be in the office some other day and plead guilty. " After listening to this, the housekeeper''s face, surrounded by his servants, looked a little better. No matter what the truth is today, there are still so many people around. With these words from Mrs. Wu Yang Hou, the three girls can earn some face.


    Today this matter is really too slap face, let Mrs. Wei heart chagrin. It''s just that she didn''t expect that there would be more humiliating things waiting for her after she returned to the government.


    When Mrs. Wei returned to Wuyang uncle''s house, she saw from a distance that the front of her house was full of people, and even her carriage couldn''t get through. She quickly sent someone to check it.


    A servant promised to go, and came back after a long time. He muttered back, "madam, those people are holding all kinds of handkerchiefs, purses and other things in their hands. They say they have an affair with the girls in our family. As long as they are the girls in our house, they are arranged..."


    "What did you say? What''s going on? "


    A confidant next to her came forward to comfort her and said, "don''t be angry, madam. Be careful to be angry. It must have been done by the loyal Marquis''s house. It''s about the reputation of our Wei family. Madam, you can''t just forget it. "


    With a sneer in her heart, Mrs. Wei patted the cushion heavily on her face and said, "this loyal Marquis''s house is really deceiving. Quick, send someone to arrest all the troublemakers and send them to the government. Since they want to make trouble, I will make trouble with them. " Anyway, she has no legitimate children, which means that she has ruined the reputation of all the girls in the family. What''s the matter with her? When Uncle Wuyang told her about it, she thought it was too insidious, but she had no legitimate children. If it wasn''t for her mother''s family, she would have no place for her. To Wu Yang Bo''s instruction, she also just perfunctorily agreed. Just now, in front of the Zhongyi Marquis''s house, it was mother sun who was beside her who was shouting. Mother sun is an old man coming from her mother''s home. She thought she was reliable at first, but she had two hearts long ago


    Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Roche, close her eyes and let them go. Anyway, she has nothing to be afraid of.

 Chapter 53

    The people in front of the Wei family are very crafty. As soon as the private soldiers of Wuyang Bofu opened the door, they disappeared. The rest of them were onlookers. The onlookers in front of Wuyang Marquis''s house were all neighbors. The housekeeper of Wuyang Marquis''s house didn''t dare to move. He could only watch these people disperse while talking.


    After the crowd dispersed, Mrs. Wei''s carriage was able to enter her uncle. The movement at the gate has naturally alarmed all the people in the house. Uncle Wuyang''s daughters, nieces and their respective aunts all wailed around him, making him upset.


    Seeing that Roche had come back, uncle Wuyang asked sharply, "how did you do it?" In the end, Luo Shi said, "I did it according to the master''s instructions, but the three girls of the Shen family are very tough, and they hit the wall on the spot to prove their innocence. Their life and death are still unknown. It''s natural that the loyal marquis will not give up when he sees that his daughter is in great trouble. He must have sent someone to do this farce in front of our house. "


    On one side, Aunt Zhang immediately rushed to Uncle Wuyang''s arms and cried, "uncle, madam, she has no children of her own, so she can''t see the promising young masters and young ladies in our mansion. A while ago, Princess Wei had just revealed that she wanted to choose yun''er as a side concubine for the third prince. Now this has happened. Isn''t yun''er''s great future wasted? Madam, she is so cruel


    Hearing Aunt Zhang''s cry and seeing Uncle Wu Yang''s bad eyes, Roche sneered. She used to treat such farce as a joke, but now she suddenly has no patience to watch it. Thinking of the letter sent by my sister-in-law a few days ago, my brother is likely to become the Minister of the Ministry of war. My sister-in-law said that if my brother became the Minister of the Ministry of war, no one would dare to despise him for smashing the house of Wuyang uncle. But in that case, just by the relationship between Wuyang Bofu and the third prince, my brother will also be labeled as the third prince school. She didn''t want to take advantage of Wuyang Bofu and the third prince. Her elder brother and sister-in-law had protected her for so many years. She couldn''t watch her elder brother''s family get involved in the whirlpool of seizing the right.


    So, she went forward, pulled away Aunt Zhang who was crying in the arms of Wuyang uncle, slapped her in the face, and threw her to the ground. "I didn''t interfere with what you did in the past. I was lazy to talk to you, but I didn''t expect you to advance an inch. Does a little aunt dare to call Miss master''s name taboo, or to discredit master''s reputation? Who gave you such courage? It''s a dead thing


    The accident happened so quickly that people couldn''t react to it. When Aunt Zhang''s swollen face began to ache, she suddenly responded, "master, you have to make the decision for me..." and began to cry.


    Wei Ruyun, the eldest girl she gave birth to, rushed forward to beat the drum. "Father, you have seen it. Her mother-in-law treats her aunt like this in front of you. Although my aunt is only half a master, she also gave birth to two sons and one daughter for her father. Now she is so shamed, how can she face the servants in the house in the future? It''s our brother and sister. Although they can''t be called mothers because of the etiquette and law, they are eager to take their place when they see their biological mother being humiliated. "


    Then he turned his head and knelt down like Roche. "Madam, if you have any resentment in your heart, just come to your daughter. Her daughter is willing to accept it for her aunt. Just ask her to be merciful and let Aunt Zhang go."


    Looking at the white lotus like common girl in front of him, Roche said with a cold smile, "what are you doing, yun''er? You are the eldest lady and the master of this house. How can you suffer for a cheap maid? " Then she turned around and said, "come on, pull the first lady away. Aunt Zhang is disrespectful to her own wife. She''s going to break the law. She''s going to fight ten big boards!"


    Immediately after that, Luo''s confidants came up to drag Aunt Zhang away. Mother sun didn''t know what kind of stimulation her master had today. She acted so openly. "Madam, Aunt Zhang is my uncle''s beloved. You have to give my uncle some face."


    Before Roche could answer, uncle Wuyang had pushed away Aunt Zhang''s mother-in-law and protected her in his arms. Seeing his concubine''s swollen face, Uncle Wu Yang was heartbroken. He pointed to Roche''s nose and scolded, "you poisonous woman, you humiliate rouer in front of me. It can be seen that you used to pretend to be virtuous and virtuous. I''m going to leave you!" Next to Uncle Wuyang''s concubine, Zheng, quickly poured oil on the fire. "Uncle said this very well. My wife didn''t like to see us in the past. We are all humble people, so it''s not good to offend my wife. Sister Zhang is right. I didn''t expect that my wife was so cruel that she would ruin the reputation of our miss. Although my wife has no parents and children, isn''t our child her? Uncle, you are going to decide for us Then she took her daughter and hugged uncle Wuyang''s thigh and cried.


    A few aunts and concubines who had been waiting on one side also began to cry. Uncle Wuyang coaxed one and another, and he was exhausted. At last, he saw Luo Shi standing beside him. He was furious. "It''s all because you are a jealous woman. You can''t give birth to children, and you abuse the children of the common people. I''ll leave you today. "


    Luo Shi sneered and looked at him. "I''m afraid my uncle has forgotten that we don''t divorce our wife in Dakang Dynasty. Since my uncle and I have made up our minds, we can''t get away from each other directly. Just don''t know, uncle dare? "


    Wu Yang Bo was excited by this, and then he said, "what do I dare not do? He Li then he Li, my great uncle Wuyang, is he afraid that he will not marry a good daughter-in-law? " He thinks he is an uncle. In the past, because of his wife''s rich dowry and his elder brother-in-law''s high position, even if she didn''t have children, he would tolerate it. I didn''t expect that Roche was not only ungrateful, but also so cruel and vicious. I really didn''t have to bear it.


    Roche took out a copy from his sleeve and said, "in this case, please sign and seal it." This piece of paper has been put on her for a long time, until now, she finally took it out.


    Uncle Wu Yang hesitated when he saw that she was ready to leave the book. But aunt Zheng refused to let him hesitate. She grabbed the book and handed the brush to Uncle Wuyang. "Uncle, you can''t be soft hearted. If you don''t sign it, how can we live in the future?"


    Uncle Wu Yang looked at the numerous concubines and daughters here. He signed the letter and sealed his personal seal. In this way, the book of peace and separation is officially effective.


    See Wuyang Bo cover good private seal, Roche took and leave the book and then turned away. Seeing that she was going to leave, Wu Yang Bo Lian quickly called out, "you are a jealous woman. You are not a virtuous woman. Now you are allowed to leave the house with me. You are not allowed to take anything away!"


    She was not allowed to take her dowry. Fortunately, Roche had prepared for it. The gold and silver in her dowry had been transported to her dowry Chuang Tzu little by little, and the house deed and land deed were all taken with her. The rest of the house was nothing but clumsy things. Luo Shi sneered and looked at Uncle Wu Yang. He turned around and went out with his confidants.

 Chapter 54

    When the imperial concubine of Wei in the palace learned that her elder brother had left, she didn''t spit out a mouthful of old blood. She had just heard from her confidant that the emperor had ordered Luo Pei, Luo''s brother, to take over the post of minister of arms of Kong Xuan. She was just about to call her sister-in-law to the palace so that she could get along with her, but she heard such news.


    The Wei imperial concubine one side hates to have a toothache, one side sends the confidant palace person to go to Luo''s house to make amends at once, hoped can let Luo''s change one''s mind. Who would like to Luo''s brother and sister-in-law in order not to add trouble, even the Luo family did not return, directly went to the hollow temple on the Yangtian mountain. The hollow nunnery is the place where the eldest princess of Dening, the eldest aunt of today, practices Buddhism. Even today, I dare not disturb her at will. Wei Fei''s people were blocked back at the foot of the mountain.


    When Luo''s elder brother heard about it, he was even more angry that uncle Wuyang favored his concubine. The next lawsuit came to the emperor, counting the crimes of killing his concubine, and asking him to compensate her sister for the dowry money that she had filled in. The prince sent his confidant ministers to help his uncle distinguish. But Uncle Wuyang had seven or eight aunts, more than a dozen concubines, men and women, and more than a dozen concubines. Aunt Bai, uncle Wuyang''s favorite concubine, even occupied the largest and most luxurious courtyard in the mansion. All this is hard evidence. What''s more, Shen Mingchang makes people push the flames behind him. The great prince also had to give up his uncle, who had more than enough to succeed. Finally, the emperor issued a decree to reprimand Wuyang uncle for not distinguishing between di and Shu. He removed all his duties and ordered him to return his dowry and take out five thousand taels of silver to appease Luo.


    Uncle Wu Yang didn''t want to, but he couldn''t bear the imperial edict. People from the palace were staring at him. Even Princess Wei and the eldest prince didn''t want to let him have any more moths. They all sent their confidants to watch.


    Luo''s eldest brother personally took his children, grandchildren and nephews, and a total of more than 100 family members, with the original dowry list, according to the list will be a furniture, furnishings pulled away. If you can''t find them all that time, you can take all the silver.


    Uncle Wuyang is not engaged in production. At the beginning, he spent a lot of money to take care of concubine Wei. Over the years, because of the constant coming in of the new aunt, more and more children, silver is also flowing out. After a while, he lost more than ten thousand taels of silver. Uncle Wu Yang couldn''t help bleeding in his heart.


    Leisurely doesn''t know about the dog blood farce that happened in Wuyang Bofu. On the birthday party day, she doesn''t want to go to the front to join in the fun. She is quietly tying a knot there, and then she hears the noise coming from the garden.


    After a while, Xiuluo, who was waiting for Fang Xinsu, came back. She said the matter simply, and then took the Ziyu Zhixue powder from the palace and left in a hurry. Leisurely and the screen look at each other, but they are not interested in working, so they go to Shen Lian''s residence to visit.


    When they arrived, the doctor just left. Fortunately, a mother-in-law stopped Shen Lian. Although she was seriously injured, she didn''t hurt her at all. It''s still very possible to recover, but it''s hard to say whether there will be scars on the forehead. However, this news has been a blessing in misfortune. After all, at the beginning, Han''s collision was just a column made of wood. Today Shen Lian''s collision is a solid stone wall. Shen Mingchang even thinks about it. What scar does Shen Lian leave on her head? It''s not easy to talk to her. It''s a big deal that the government will support her all her life.


    Shen Lian''s yard has never been so lively. It''s full of people inside and outside. Leisurely only see Shen Lian''s head wrapped with gauze and lying there with her eyes closed at the door of the inner room. The beautiful smile of the past is now pale.


    After a while, aunt Bai, who heard the news, ran over crying. See Shen Lian this appearance, pounce on her body, by the side of the maid mother-in-law son to stop. Shen Lian''s servant girl said, "I know my aunt''s worry, but the girl just stopped bleeding. The doctor told me to have a rest. What good will it do to the girl if she cries again at this time? "


    Although aunt Bai had always been partial to her son, she was very sad to see the three girls lying on the bed so lifeless. She can''t help sitting on the ground, "I have only one daughter. If you have a daughter, how can you let me live?"? Which son of a bitch has such a rotten heart and has done such a dirty job. I curse his family to death. "


    Zhongyi Hou, standing on one side, coughed in a low voice when he saw that she didn''t look like a shrew. "OK, keep your mouth clean. There are still many guests outside. If you want to take care of sister Lian here, please be quiet. It''s OK to disturb her Aunt Bai quickly shut up and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. "What the duke said is that I will pay attention. However, the three girls have always been clean, but now they are insulted like this. The Marquis must decide for her! "


    Shen Mingchang said in a deep voice, "don''t worry about this. Lian''er is also my daughter. I won''t let her be humiliated in vain."


    Seeing this, Han said in a soft voice, "aunt Bai is the biological mother of the three girls. She is here to take care of them. I''ll let mother Zhu stay here. Other people should let them go first. After all, sister Lian needs to rest. There are people in and out of the house, which is not conducive to the rest of the patients. "


    Shen Mingchang nodded, turned around and went out with Han, and the others scattered one after another.


    Back in the di Cui Zhai, Fang Xinsu sat on the chair and said to Xiuluo, "let someone give me a sign. I''ll go into the Palace tomorrow and say hello to the Empress Dowager."


    Xiuluo replied, "the Empress Dowager has already given orders. When the princess wants to enter the palace, just go there. There''s no need to pass the sign."


    Fang Xinsu shakes his head and says, "when people go to the palace, they hand over their signs. I''m the only exception. Isn''t it true that the Empress Dowager favoritism? The Empress Dowager said this in sympathy with me, but I can''t make it difficult for her to do so. " Seeing Fang Xinsu''s insistence, Xiuluo goes down to arrange it.


    Fang Xinsu sat there, a little restless. Shen Lian was obviously dragged down by her this time. Otherwise, the Wei family would not embarrass her like this. No matter what, she will get it back for Shen Lian.


    Fang Xinsu was in a bad mood and let the people around him go out. Leisurely back to the East chamber, picked up the silk thread to continue to work. But I can''t help thinking about it. In this age of paying great attention to women''s reputation, it''s disgusting to be splashed with dirty water. Although Shen Lian has always been pampered, she should not be hurt like this, especially now that she is so uncertain about her life and death. I don''t know when the three girls will wake up. There must be someone behind the person who ruined Shen Lian''s reputation. If not, how dare ordinary weak scholar come to trouble like this? On the day of Hou Fu''s life banquet, it happened to be the time for the guests to leave. The time and place all coincided. No wonder there''s no inside story? Sure enough, the Marquis''s daughter is not so easy to be. Ah, fortunately, she has already left the government for a long time. In the future, these right and wrong issues should not involve her, right?


    When she was thinking about it, she looked down and saw that the silk thread in her hand was originally to be tied with a knot of ten thousand characters, but it was turned into a group brocade knot by her. She quickly put the knot aside, calmed down, picked up a silk thread again and began to work. These things can''t be mixed with her identity. She''d better do her work safely.

 Chapter 55

    Fortunately, in the early morning of the second day, a servant girl came to report that Shen Lian had woken up. Fang Xinsu saw Shen Lian and went to the CI Ning palace.


    After meeting the empress dowager, before she spoke, the Empress Dowager said, "are you here for yesterday? AI Jia has already known about it. It''s really something that Wuyang Bofu didn''t do properly. It''s too mean. However, your uncle is a tit for tat. He avenged your cousin yesterday Then he told me what happened at the gate of Wuyang uncle yesterday afternoon.


    Fang Xinsu was greatly relieved, and then the Empress Dowager said, "for this matter, Mrs. Luo of Wuyang uncle has officially separated from Wuyang uncle. There are only common children in Wuyang''s mansion, and there is no direct mother''s education, so the marriage will be bumpy in the future. Now your cousin is not in any serious trouble. I''ve asked someone to prepare some excellent herbs and jewelry for her. You can take them back later. Concubine Wei promised to send a confidant to apologize. Let''s forget about it. "


    Although Fang Xinsu wanted to say more, she saw that the Empress Dowager didn''t want to talk more, so she had to stop and found another topic. After lunch in the CI Ning palace, Fang Xinsu went back to Hou Fu. She thought all the way, and thought that Wuyang Bofu was the eldest prince''s uncle''s house after all, just for the sake of the third prince and Princess Wei''s face, and the royal family would not embarrass Wuyang Bofu too much. After all, Wuyang Bofu is miserable enough. If they don''t give up, they seem to be bullying others.


    After returning to the Marquis''s house, I met Han and showed him what the Empress Dowager had given him. Fang Xinsu said in a lonely voice, "aunt, it''s me who''s bad. Sister Lian is implicated by me, but I can''t help her out."


    Han patted her hand: "silly child, it''s not for you. The Wei family didn''t pay attention to our loyalty. There is no real power in the hands of Wuyang people, and there is no man in the whole Wei family who can handle it. Had it not been for the support of the third prince and Mrs. Luo, the whole family would have been ruined. Most of the ostentation of Wuyang Bofu was supported by Mrs. Luo''s dowry. Now, Mrs. Luo and Li go out of the house with the dowry, which is the biggest punishment for the Wei family. "


    Then he comforted Fang Xinsu for a long time, and took her with him to send the Empress Dowager''s reward to Shen Lian.


    Shen Lian is lying to nourish her spirit. When she sees her mother and Fang Xinsu coming, she is about to get up and is held down by Han. "Good boy, now is not the time to talk about these empty rites. Just lie down at ease." Then she asked if she had taken the medicine and if it was better. Shen Lian answered one by one.


    Han said, "Taiyi said that you are weak now, but you are not suitable for tonic, and you should have a light diet. I''ll send someone to cook bird''s nest porridge for you. You can use one every day and take medicine on time. You can make it up later when it''s better. "


    Shen Lian nodded, "thank you for your mother''s concern."


    Fang Xinsu came forward and said, "I''m going to greet the Empress Dowager today. The Empress Dowager heard that you were frightened and gave you something. You just keep your mind at ease. No one will talk about that day. "


    Shen Lian felt relieved when she heard that she "bothered the princess." Since the Empress Dowager has rewarded something, it means that she believes in Shen Lian''s innocence, and the events of that day will not become an excuse for others to criticize Shen Lian in the future.


    In the end, although there was a little thunder and a little rain, it gradually subsided. Just a few months later, Wu Yangbo and a small merchant''s wife adultery was broken a leg thing, I do not know who did it.


    As soon as Shen Lian wakes up, the big stone in Fang Xinsu''s heart falls down, and her face begins to smile more. She also has time to come and talk with you to see what she has done.


    Until Shen Lian''s injury stabilized, Han''s empty down, just remember to ask Feixu "light willow that wench but left? Why haven''t you seen her these days? "


    Feixu replied with a smile, "she didn''t leave. That day she went to ask for an for the princess. As a result, she was detained by the princess. She is still working as a coolie in didcuizhai." Han''s pick eyebrow "do what coolie? What''s going on? "


    Feixu quickly explained that "when the princess saw that a pair of camellia flowers sent by Qingliu were exquisite and lovely with silk thread, she asked Qingliu to make more patterns for the Double Ninth Festival. Because the Double Ninth Festival is not a few days, these days, Qingliu is busy, even the gate of didcuizhai is not out. That day, the eldest girl wanted to see her. Without saying a few words, she was coaxed out by the princess. "


    Han nodded. "No wonder I haven''t seen her all the time. Let''s go and have a look at girl Fang. She won''t let me go. We have to make trouble with her. Qingliu is here to celebrate my birthday. After all, she''s not our servant girl. If she''s too harsh, it''s not decent. "


    Then, the Han family took a few servant girls to di Cui Zhai. Coincidentally, leisurely and Fang Xinsu are having tea and chatting. When Han saw them, he said with a smile, "I still want to have tea here. I think Fang''s work is finished?"


    They got up to greet each other. Fang Xinsu helped han to the couch in person, and then slowly said, "I knew that my aunt would come after her busy work. She used to be a good aunt. How dare I do it? But I asked her to tie a few knots for me, and wave after wave came to check, as if I would abuse her. "


    Han quickly patted her hand. "Good boy, I don''t know your temperament. It''s just that Qingliu is not as good as before. Her mother must be very concerned about her coming out these days. Just now, there was a woman on the back door who said that her family had sent someone to pick her up. I just came to have a look. How are you doing with your work here? At least I''ll give you a letter. Now that she''s finished, let her clean up the house. Next month is your birthday. Can she give you gifts? "


    As soon as Fang Xinsu heard this, he quickly asked Huaping to help Qingliu clean up, and then called Xiuluo to say, "isn''t she boasting about the silk thread here? You will give her some of the rest of us, and give her two cicada wings for embroidery. I remember that I had a set of red gold embroidery needles sent by others. Give them to her, too. You go to pick out a few pieces of jewelry from the box you sent to her a few days ago, choose two pieces of good materials, and then wrap two hundred taels of silver for her. In addition, there are Songshan cloud that day to drink for her two cans, and then choose a set of good tea set for her. Let''s give them first. I''m afraid she won''t feel well


    Xiuluo agreed to go, Han looked at mother Zhu, mother Zhu knew the machine with the servant girls were back.


    Han''s looking at Fang Xinsu, this niece since was granted the princess, and the Empress Dowager support, action between the more dignified. She said, "let me say something big. You''re not doing it properly."

 Chapter 56

    Fang Xinsu said in surprise, "is that what my aunt said about Qingliu? She is willing to help. I didn''t force her. What''s more, can''t I just give her more things and money? "


    Han sighed, "if it''s Qingliu or our servant girl, there''s nothing wrong with you doing this. But now she is no longer the servant girl of Zhongyi Marquis''s house. Although the Lin family is a small family, her younger brother is a serious scholar, and she is also a young lady with servant girls outside. It''s not the little servant girl who can let us go. You are so forced to leave others behind to send so many jobs, it can be seen that you still regard her as the original servant girl in your heart. "


    Fang Xinsu wanted to refute, but found that he could not refute. What she thought in her heart was the same as her aunt. If someone else, even a girl from a poor family, she would not act like this. She pursed her lips, and finally said dejectedly, "aunt, I think it''s wrong. Do you think Qingliu will annoy me?"


    Han patted her hand. "You''re still young. You can''t turn around for a while, and there are some. Light willow has always been a generous, will not hate in the heart, otherwise will not be so dedicated to help you. If not, she would delay a little. I''m afraid you won''t be able to get the knot so fast. But don''t do it like this in the future. When she comes, you can accompany her well. It''s over. A willow is nothing. I think you''ve been acting more and more casually recently. It''s all right in our Marquis''s mansion. What I''m afraid of is that you''ll take this casually to the palace. Although the Empress Dowager loves you, not everyone in the harem is looking forward to you. Isn''t it because Princess Lezhen hates you? I didn''t come for you this time. What will happen in the future? How can I stand up to your mother if you have a chance? " At the end of the day, Han''s eyes are a little wet.


    Fang Xinsu suddenly realized that she was favored by the empress dowager, which had attracted many people''s attention. Since she knew her life experience, she was more casual in the palace. And there was Lezhen, because she was forbidden by the emperor, and many princesses and concubines in the palace were attracted to her. But she almost forgot that in the harem, she was startled step by step. If she was not careful, she would not even know how to die.


    When she thought of this, she knelt down in front of Han and said, "thank you for your advice. Otherwise, I''m afraid that Xinsu will bring disaster."


    Han pulled her up, "good boy, we are all flesh and blood of a family. We can''t talk about nothing, as long as you don''t dislike the noise of your aunt."


    Fang Xinsu quickly said, "aunt, where do you mean? My aunt is willing to tell me that I care about me. How can I be unkind. When I make mistakes again, I hope my aunt will teach me well so that I won''t be in trouble. "


    Han patted her hand, "you are a sensible child. You have done well in the past. You just need to remember to keep an ordinary heart at all times."


    After talking here for a long time, Fang Xinsu felt that his aunt was a respectable person. No matter who her biological father is, Han will always be her respected aunt.


    Then, Fang Xinsu takes out the knot that leisurely helps her to make for Han. When Han saw that the flowers had the size of a bowl, they were really lifelike, and the other couple of knots were also exquisite, so he nodded, "the craftsmanship of Qingliu is really useless. The golden osmanthus picture she embroidered for me is also exquisite. I think the craftsmanship of this child has become more and more flexible since she went out. Although she is young, she seems to have thousands of mountains and rivers in her heart. "


    Fang Xinsu echoed: "my aunt knows her, and I also think the bearing of Qingliu is very unusual. Even the leisurely ladies seldom have the calmness of her body, which is closely related to her love of reading and practicing calligraphy. "


    "The ancient people always have a certain truth in their words because they are full of poetry and calligraphy."


    At this point, Fang Xinsu hesitated and said, "I had a job to entrust to Qingliu, but I didn''t know how to do it after listening to my aunt just now."


    Han asked Fang Xinsu, "what''s the matter?" Fang Xinsu bit her lip and said, "next April will be the future of the Empress Dowager. I wanted to ask Qingliu to help me embroider a double-sided embroidery..."


    Han said with a smile, "what''s the point? It''s a good thing. It''s a great honor for her. Just let her do it. "


    Fang Xinsu opened his eyes wide. "Just now, didn''t you say that she was not our servant girl, and it was not a good job?"


    Han touched her head. "Silly child, I don''t mean I can''t ask her for help, but I can''t stop people in the yard like this. You can tell her what you want and let her go home and embroider it. "


    Fang Xinsu nodded, "in this way, I understand."


    This niece has always been a thorough one, but she is still young, and sometimes she has some shortcomings. Now see her want to understand, Han also relieved to leave.


    After a while, Xiuluo came in with a box in her hand, followed by two women, one with several pieces of cloth, the other with a big burden.


    Xiuluo opened the box on the table and said, "I saw that the things in the box were not too delicate, so I chose a few more."


    Fang Xinsu saw that there were two pairs of gold bracelets, two gold hairpins, two pairs of rings and two pairs of earrings in the box. Fang Xinsu picked up a bracelet and looked at it. He saw that the carving on it was not very delicate. "I can''t help frowning and saying," this work is really not exquisite. I haven''t even set a few gem beads. That''s all. I remember she likes jade. Give her the set of jadeite jewelry that Niang Ning pin gave me last time. "


    Xiuluo agreed to go out for a while. When she came back, she had a small box in her hand. She saw a pair of jade bracelets, a pair of long hairpins, a pair of rings and a pair of earrings in it. Jewelry material is not even ice, better than the color of green, is a complete set. In the eyes of Fang Xinsu, who is used to seeing precious jewels, it''s just "will take it". In terms of leisurely, it''s a very rare treasure. Naturally, she likes jadeite, but also thanks to her predecessors. The royal nobles of Dayong Dynasty also highly praised jadeite jewelry. The mining technology here is far different from that of previous generations, so the price of jadeite jewelry here is more expensive.


    To get such a set of jewelry, leisurely has not wasted these days of hard work. As for other things, Fang Xinsu said, "you don''t have to be modest, but I have something to ask for. You can go back and have a rest for a few days. I''ll come back next month when I''m born. I''ll talk to you in detail then. "


    Leisurely Lian Ren said with a smile, "the princess has something to say, that''s to say, I''m still cranky when I go home."

 Chapter 57

    Fang Xinsu looked at her with a smile. "You can''t calm down like this. Don''t worry, I won''t sell you. Since you have to ask, I''ll tell you. Just in time, you can help me think about it. The Empress Dowager''s future will come in early April next year. I want you to help me with embroidery. Do you have any Kung Fu? Don''t worry, the reward will not be less than you. "


    Leisurely smile "look what you said, I''m afraid the princess will not run away? Just, I don''t know what kind of design the princess wants? In the first half of the month, you can''t move the needle and thread. Now it''s the end of August, and there are still six months to go. If you want to embroider a large screen, the time is really tight, but it''s better to move the needle as soon as possible. "


    Fang Xinsu frowned. "The Empress Dowager loves Buddhism. I wanted to embroider a picture of Guanyin, but I also remembered that there was a scroll of Suzhou embroidery with the pattern of Guanyin. For a moment, I can''t think of anything else. "


    Leisurely lowered his head and thought for a while, suddenly raised his head and said, "since I came to celebrate my birthday, there is always a crane. Miss, how about if I embroider Zhao Ji''s" Ruihe Tu "


    After hearing this, Fang Xinsu''s eyes brightened. "Yes, this painting is not short of auspicious meaning, but also more elegant than the general pine and crane painting. It''s an excellent idea. Let''s embroider this one. Is it just time? "


    Leisurely thought for a while, said, "embroider a big picture like Jin Gui Tu is too late, but embroider a four foot square screen heart or can be."


    Fang Xinsu nodded, "then it''s still settled. I still have a piece of cream white cicada wing yarn, which is suitable for embroidery. Let them take more silk thread for you. When you go back, just do your work with ease. If you need anything, just ask someone to ask me for it. "


    Han has already sent a woman to help leisurely take things. It''s getting late. Fang Xinsu didn''t try to keep her, so she asked Huaping to send her out.


    Just now, leisurely had already bid farewell to the women in the house one by one, so she got into the carriage directly from the corner gate. Lao Liu tou had been waiting there for a long time, and Fang Cao was waiting. After getting on the carriage, she found that in addition to the things given by Fang Xinsu, there were several big burdens in the carriage. She could not help looking at the flying catkins coming to see her off. Feixu said with a smile, "don''t look at me, these two pine colored bags are given by your wife, and the water red one is given by the big girl. They all like your work. When you''re free, just do more delicate and stubborn work and send it to me? "


    Leisurely a think is also this reason, then no longer affectation, and Feixu and others say goodbye, then take a carriage to go home.


    As soon as the carriage stopped at the door, Lin''s mother came out from the inner room and said, "don''t you mean to stay for two or three days? What''s the matter with these days? " Then he took her hand and said, "look, I''ve lost a lap."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "I eat well and drink well there. I feel my clothes are tight. How can I be thin? But my mother looked at the reduction


    Lin Mu took her hand and sat down in the room. "No matter how well you eat, you are in someone else''s house. Why did you stay here for so many days?"


    Leisurely, she told the story about it. After listening to it, Mrs. Lin was half relieved and half distressed. Her daughter''s dexterity could be recognized by noble people. What she was distressed about was that it was very hard for her to be such a woman. She could not help saying, "how can you lose weight? Is it not easy to work every day?"


    "Why? The princess is not that rude and unreasonable. I only work for two or three hours every day, and I have a little servant girl to help me. I really don''t feel tired. Besides, I often do these jobs at home. Even if I''m twice as tired, I can''t sell the money. "


    Lin Mu Wei frowned, sighed and said, "although our family is not very rich now, we really don''t need you to work so hard."


    Leisurely said, "it''s my blessing that the princess can match my skill. Besides, whose girl doesn''t do some needlework? The reward given by the princess is much higher than the price of xiuzhuang. Most of all, I like these, so I don''t feel hard. " The jewelry given by Fang Xinsu alone adds up to more than one thousand taels of silver, let alone the others. Seeing her daughter''s shining eyes when she talked about embroidery, Mrs. Lin knew that she really liked it, so she felt a little better. Seeing her daughter''s sleepy appearance, she quickly said, "look at me, you must be tired after sitting in the carriage for most of the day. I''ve already let Mrs. Liu burn hot water. Go wash and change your clothes before you come out for dinner. By the way, why didn''t you see that girl


    Leisurely said about letting Fangcao go for training and said, "now I don''t have the time to teach her. I just have such an opportunity to let her learn something. When she comes back, I''ll teach Mrs. Liu and others. In the future, I will be too timid to take out. " Lin said, "it''s a good thing, but will it be too much trouble for the princess?"


    Leisurely shook his head, "princess, it''s just a matter of one sentence, it''s nothing. I''ve asked someone to take care of the steward who taught her there, and no one said anything


    Lin Mu Fang let go and called Liu Sao over to talk about it in detail. Leisurely said with a smile, "you don''t have to worry too much. The rules of a little girl are fast. It''s only a month at most. I guess Fangcao will come back around the Double Ninth Festival at the latest. After all, the festival is busy and needs people to work


    Sister Liu said "Amitabha" in her mouth and bowed herself to say, "if you are willing to cultivate her, you look up to her. I don''t worry any more. Thanks to the lady''s blessing, the girl had the chance to go to the princess''s house to learn some knowledge, which was also her blessing. Since I came here, my wife and young lady are gentle and polite. Our family is well fed and well dressed. The boy also learned a lot of words in front of the young master, and now the young lady values grass like this. I can''t thank you enough for your kindness. " With that, he knocked his head twice.


    Lin Mu pulled her up and said, "OK, as long as you work hard in the future, these are nothing." Then he asked, "do you have all the hot water I asked you to cook?"


    Mrs. Liu quickly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and nodded, "it''s all ready. She has carried the hot water to the lady''s room."


    Smell speech, leisurely then returned to own room, wash gargle bath not to mention. Mrs. Liu had been waiting outside the door. Hearing that she had finished washing, she came in and poured out the water in the bathtub with a wooden bucket. He took out the dirty clothes he had changed from leisurely. Leisurely, I can''t help feeling that this life is becoming more and more corrupt. I used to be a server, but now I''m a clotheer.

 Chapter 58

    Leisurely took a big towel to wipe his wet hair. In a twinkling of an eye, he saw that the things he had brought back from Hou Fu were still piled there. Then he went over and opened up the burden given by Han and the big girl. Han''s two burdens, one of which is full of clothes. It seems that they should be the clothes given by Han on his birthday. The other contains several new books, two boxes of top-grade sandalwood, a pair of top-grade Hetian jade round bracelets, a delicate purple jade carved lotus hairpin, and a set of exquisite red gold embroidery needles. It''s very suitable for her. It''s Feixu''s handwriting.


    In the water red brocade bag given by the big girl, there are a pair of exquisite porcelain rabbits. They are rabbits before and after passing leisurely. When you see these cute things, you feel that your heart is sprouted. In addition, there is a box of exquisite palace flowers, a pair of silver rings inlaid with agate, a pair of lapis lazuli beads and a pair of rose red jacket.


    Shen Tian is now the future five princesses and concubines, and the things she gives are not ordinary. Looking at this half Kang thing, I couldn''t help laughing. I wanted to do what I could to repay others, but I didn''t expect that the gift would be heavier.


    From the package of clothes given by Han, she found a long blue lotus coat with slant lapel and a jujube red brocade jacket. This kind of color and style is for Lin Mu.


    When Mrs. Lin saw the dress, the workmanship was exquisite. It''s wonderful for ordinary people to wear a new dress at leisure. Embroidery is just a simple way to embroider flowers and plants. It''s like this dress is embroidered with peonies. I don''t know how much it takes to embroider. She couldn''t help asking, "does Madame Hou despise new clothes like this?"


    Leisurely back to the road "is not necessarily look down on clothes, this is the people outside filial piety to his wife.". For example, the wives and young ladies of big families don''t wear clothes that are given away from the outside at leisure. Most of them are for people to wear or give away. "


    Lin''s mother tut tut made a sound while carefully putting away her clothes. Such clothes, she is not willing to wear everyday, just waiting to go out or when there is a major festival to wear.


    Other things, leisurely from the jewelry to find a pair of bracelets and a ring, took out to Lin Mu, and Fang Xinsu gave 200 Liang silver to Lin Mu. At the beginning, Lin''s mother insisted on not taking it. She said, "it''s your hard work to earn it, or do you keep it for private use. You can take away all the jewelry and make a dowry in the future." Leisurely said with a smile, "I''ve left a few pieces of jewelry myself. I''ll take the silver as my filial piety to you. You can''t do without it." After a long time, Lin''s mother took it.


    Just as the Double Ninth Festival is approaching, it is necessary for relatives and friends to walk around.


    On the day before the Double Ninth Festival, the Academy had a holiday. Old Liu tou drove a carriage to pick up Enron.


    Since Liu''s incident, Enron has alienated Cheng Zijun. Although the meeting is still polite, it can''t go back to the time when he was so intimate. Enron as long as he thought that because of Cheng Zijun''s talkative, his sister was almost accepted as a concubine by others. Therefore, no matter how Cheng Zijun courted him, he could not forgive him. This time, Cheng Zijun also wanted to let Enron do his own free ride as before, but Enron declined his kindness and directly got on his carriage. Cheng Zijun watched the carriage of the Lin family go away, but he was also a little lost. After all, he was more and more far away from himself.


    In fact, Enron''s heart, to this once good friend''s sentiment also has a bit difficult to give up, his innermost feelings are extremely tangled. But when he came home and saw his elder sister come out to meet him with a smile, he disappeared in an instant. My sister has been wronged for so many years for this family. He can''t let her suffer any more.


    On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, the family ate chrysanthemum cake, drank chrysanthemum wine, and went to a nearby mountain temple to ask for a peace talisman.


    On the second day after the Double Ninth Festival, the Zhongyi Marquis sent people to send the grass back, and there were also some festival gifts. In addition to a few maids who used to go out, there was Shen Ze who met leisurely last time. Mother Lin, the leader, said to Youran with a smile, "the princess originally intended to send Miss Fangcao back before the festival, but two days before the Double Ninth Festival, the princess was suddenly invited to the palace by the Empress Dowager. We didn''t understand many things, so we didn''t dare to make our own opinions. When the princess comes back from the palace, we will send the girl''s servant girl back. " Leisurely said with a smile, "what''s in the way of a few days in the morning and a few days in the evening? In my opinion, the essence and spirit of Fangcao are different from before. I think it''s because of your mother''s careful training. After my mother goes back, I want to thank the princess for her kindness and the mothers'' intentions. "


    Mother Lin said with a smile, "you''re welcome. When the knot that the girl made for our sheriff was sent to the palace, the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager were full of praise. Some of them were given to the girl. This time, I was ordered by the princess to bring them to the girl. There were also some small gifts. The princess said that she must accept them. "


    Leisurely some helpless said, "the princess is always so polite, just a few days ago gave me a lot of things, this will son how to send things again?"


    Who would hate to give too much? This girl Lin is really different from ordinary people. Lin''s mother said with a smile, "this time it''s just a few pots of chrysanthemums and two jars of wine given by Mrs. Shen. There''s nothing else."


    Smell speech, leisurely slightly relaxed tone, "in this case, let them clean up.". Mom and I went to the house to have tea. I have the best Tie Guanyin from my wife last time. "


    When Fangcao came back, she put away her burden and went to the kitchen to help her mother make tea. Seeing that her daughter came back safely, and her words and deeds were really quite different, sister-in-law Liu could not help asking, "is the mother in that house strict? What did you learn there? "


    Fang Cao first soaped his hands, then washed the tea cup with hot water, and then began to make tea. While she was busy, she said with a smile, "naturally, the mother in that house is meticulous in teaching the rules, but as long as she studies hard, her mother will not deliberately beat and scold. I learned a lot there. I''ll talk to my mother again later. Now, I''m going to serve tea to the guests first. Niang, you can use that beam pot to make a big pot, and let those elder sisters and boys outside drink water to moisten their voice. " Liu sister-in-law said with a smile, "look at your interest, but also instigated my mother." While talking, I did as my daughter said.

 Chapter 59

    On the other hand, just before Enron went to the Academy, he warmly welcomed Shen Ze to the hall, "brother Shen, why did you come in person?"


    As he sat down, Shen Ze replied with a smile, "I had something to ask for. I wanted to visit. I just learned that my wife was going to send something to Ling Jie, so I followed her on the way."


    Enron said with some doubts, "I don''t know what elder brother Shen has to do with my sister?"


    Shen Ze said, "it''s not a big deal. Last time I ate a dish of pickles in Hou''s mansion, I found it very delicious. Later, I heard from the woman in the house that it was sent by Miss Lin or made by herself. You know, I just opened a pickle shop a few days ago, and I think that Lingjie''s pickles are really delicious. He had the courage to come to the door and ask for this prescription. "


    Enron breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought it was a big deal? However, after all, my sister came up with the prescription. I always want to ask her about it. Brother Zhicheng, wait here for a moment. I''ll ask. "


    Then he went to his sister''s room.


    Shen Ze took a sip of tea from his teacup. The tea soup in his mouth was fresh and sweet, which was better than what he drank when he lived in Shen Fu''s guest room. He couldn''t help thinking that Huoshan Huangya with such a good appearance could not be easily drunk. They all said that Qingliu girl was highly valued by Madam Hou and Princess Le''an, and it really deserved her reputation.


    After a while, Enron took two pieces of paper and handed them to Shen Ze. "Elder brother Shen, my elder sister said, thanks to my elder brother''s help, about Lord Wang last time. Even if these two lists are just a little bit of her heart, please don''t let brother Shen go


    Shen Ze took the list and saw that in addition to the pickle recipe he wanted, there was another recipe for making stewed vegetables. He quickly declined, "how can we do this? I just raised my hand last time. However, if this prescription is well used, it''s the source of huge profits. How can I make Bai Zhanling''s sister cheap? "


    Enron thought for a while and said, "brother Shen, you should try it first. If it''s really easy to use, it''s not too late to talk about others."


    "Since you trust Shen so much, I won''t let you down." Shen Ze said. The two talked about each other''s recent situation. When Enron heard that Shen Ze had moved out of the Marquis''s residence and set up his own house, he was a little surprised. "It''s good to have a cool seat with your back on a big tree. How did you think of moving out, elder brother Shen?"


    Shen Ze said, "I didn''t plan to stay in Hou''s residence for a long time. At the beginning, I borrowed and lived there because I didn''t find a suitable house. Now that I have bought the house, it''s not easy for me to bother any more."


    Enron said with a smile, "brother Shen is really righteous. I''m afraid other people can''t drive him away."


    Shen Ze shakes his head. "No matter how good the Marquis''s mansion is, it''s just a relative''s house. As the saying goes," a Golden Nest and a silver nest are not as good as one''s own dog''s nest. "Although the saying is a little rough, the truth is right. No matter how luxurious the mansion is, it''s not as comfortable as one''s own home."


    Enron smiles and nods. They say something else. Shen Ze leaves because he has something else to do. After he left, leisurely also walked out, Enron came forward and asked, "elder sister, just give the prescription to elder brother Shen, aren''t you afraid that he will turn his face away?"


    Leisurely shook his head, "if he was such a character, he would not be favored by Marquis Shen." Then he went to see what Shen Ze had brought. Mrs. Shen''s Han family gave her two jars of chrysanthemum wine and some dried fruits, which were all home things. There are also a few pots of the best chrysanthemums sent by Fang Xinsu. Those sent last time, leisurely have been cutted, now those cuttings have taken root, leisurely and carefully put the pots in the room. For the convenience of raising flowers, she specially asked someone to make two flower racks according to the previous life and put them in a corner of the room.


    In addition, there are two boxes of first-class snacks in daoxiangzhai in the capital. Leisurely, you can see that they should be Shen Ze''s handwriting. Because, you won''t buy snacks outside the Houfu. This daoxiangzhai is also famous in the capital. A box of eight treasures like this costs 12 liang of silver. These two boxes of snacks are almost the worth of the old liutou family. It seems that since ancient times, it has been difficult for everyone to be equal in this world. Seeing that all the guests had left, Fang Cao went back to her mother''s and daughter''s house, took a bundle and handed it to you. "Miss Hui, when I was in that house, I was just in time to make clothes for the next people on the Double Ninth Festival, and I also got a suit. In the days of the Double Ninth Festival, the maid was called to help by her mother in the house, and finally got a hundred dollars. When she kowtowed to the princess, she met sister Huaping. She didn''t think she was clean. She gave her a pair of thin silver bracelets and a pair of palace flowers, as well as her two previous clothes. "


    Leisurely nodded with a smile, "since I gave it to you, you can keep it. It seems that the rules of these days have not been learned in vain. In return, they are very decent. In the future, it''s time to teach your mother, your brother and your grandfather. Well, go down. " Smell speech, Fang grass happily kowtow a way "maidservant thanks miss." Then happily holding things down.


    Before and after the festival, it is necessary to walk around the people who are close to you. When the work is finished, you will calm down and get ready to start. Because the embroidery was to be sent to the palace to earn face for Fang Xinsu, she was more careful than the golden laurel. It''s not an easy job just to split the thread. The thinnest part needs to be split 30 or 40 times. Fortunately, Han sent her a set of embroidery needles. There were 36 needles from big to small. The smallest one was only as long as the nail cap, and those with poor eyes could not see the needles, which saved her a lot of trouble.


    It took five days to draw the draft and then put it on the embroidery frame. In order to achieve the delicate effect, leisurely gave up the big needle, and directly began to embroider with the small needle. Basically, he used all his experience accumulated in two generations.


    There is no doubt about the effect of nature, but the speed is doomed not to go up. She didn''t even go to Fang Xinsu''s birthday. She just sent old Liu Tou to drive with grass to send her prepared gift.


    When Fang Cao came back, she brought back some big things, and a letter from Fang Xinsu. The letter said that she liked the small table screen embroidered for her by leisurely. Although it was a pity that she couldn''t get there, she was also very grateful for her suffering for herself. In addition, the Empress Dowager and others loved the knots she made last time when they were sent to the palace. They rewarded her with some palace silk, gold and silver ornaments, as well as a glass palace lamp, which had been brought back by Fangcao. In addition, she also took some bird''s nest, donkey hide gelatin and other nourishing things, let her also take care of her body.


    Leisurely, I saw what Fangcao had brought back. This time, besides a big bag of silk thread and some scattered beads, most of them were food. The first-class bird''s nest alone has three or four catties, as well as donkey hide gelatin, red jujube, longan, Poria cocos and other tonics, and even a pair of ginseng for 20 or 30 years.


    This watch girl, hand is always so generous, leisurely helpless smile. After reading, she gave all these to Lin Mu. Lin''s mother sees that these days, her daughter is gradually losing weight in order to catch up with her. She is thinking of buying some tonics to stew for her daughter, so she has a ready-made one. So every day, she asked her sister-in-law to stew a bird''s nest porridge for her daughter to drink. Leisurely, she insisted that she would not eat alone, and she must give it to mother Lin. Lin''s mother had no choice but to let Mrs. Liu make two every day. In addition, jujube and longan soup, Chinese yam and wolfberry porridge and so on, leisurely face is gradually ruddy.

 Chapter 60

    In fact, leisurely did not feel tired, she did not blindly only know how to work. Every day I get up to practice calligraphy for a while. After having breakfast, I always walk in the yard for several times. Embroider on most half an hour, then get up and walk around, with some tea. After lunch, when the sun is good, the flowerpots in the house will be moved to the yard to let the flowers breathe fresh air, sometimes trim the branches and exercise.


    Fang Xinsu gave her a set of tea set with sweet white glaze and lotus pods. She liked it very much. Occasionally she would sit there quietly tasting a pot of tea. Such a quiet and leisurely day, years of quiet good, leisurely life is very comfortable.


    But in the eyes of Lin''s mother, the time of her daughter''s Day is arranged tightly, even the door is rarely out. Girls of this age like to laugh. Who is leisurely always doing embroidery at home? Had it not been for tingran and Xiulan who occasionally came to talk, she was afraid that her daughter would be ill at home.


    In other words, even aunt Lin would like to have her daughter accompany leisurely. The child has been spoiled a little too much, and he is a little out of character. It''s nothing in her mother''s family, but seeing that her daughter is not young, she is going to find her mother-in-law''s family in a few years. If we go on like this, we will not be able to get to our mother-in-law''s house in the future. Fortunately, these days, my daughter has been with my niece for a long time. She is also a bit quiet and calm, and has learned some new needling techniques. Now she is very good at needlework. Last month, a small Kang screen embroidered by my daughter sold for five liang of silver, which is far worse than leisurely. But in this area, we can count it. This is very gratifying for Aunt Lin. it''s much easier for girls to talk about marriage these days as long as they have good sewing skills.


    As the weather gets colder and colder, it gets dark faster and faster. As long as the sun sets, leisurely you won''t move your needle and thread again. One is to protect the eyes. The other is that we are still in the era of lighting candles. The light is much worse than that in the daytime. If you don''t pay attention to the wrong stitches, it''s not worth the loss.


    Because leisurely really can''t take care of the family, then again will housekeeper power back to mother Lin. After dinner that day, Mrs. Lin leisurely called to her room and said with a smile, "I''ve made a calculation. With the silver you brought back, we''ve saved more than 300 taels of silver now. I thought, this silver is in vain here. If you don''t take it out and buy a few acres of land or a shop, what do you think? "


    Since her daughter''s return, Lin''s mother has learned many new stitches and complex patterns with her daughter. Now there are Liu''s mother and daughter who take over the rough work of the family. Therefore, she is very rich in needlework, and her skills are becoming more and more skillful. Not to mention, the price of embroidery is booming. In just two months, the embroidery sold for more than 40 taels of silver, nearly twice as much as before. Now the days at home are getting better and better. My daughter is clever and sensible, and my son is eager to learn. He has a house and a field, and he has bought a room for servants. It''s really more and more promising.


    After listening to her mother''s idea, she nodded leisurely, "my mother thinks very much, but she just wants me to say that since I have the money, I don''t want to go to the capital to buy a small house. If I can pass the examination next year, I will go to the capital to study. If you fail in the exam for a while, you will go there sooner or later. Just after Chunwei this year, there may still be some empty houses near the examination room. If you wait three years, it may not be what kind of situation it will be. "


    "That''s very reasonable, but it''s only three hundred taels of silver. I''m afraid I can''t buy a good house in the capital. If we don''t find someone first, we''ll find a way if it''s really suitable." Lin said.


    At this moment, someone knocked at the gate, and the mother and daughter looked at each other. Who would come at this time? Although it was not too late, few people came out to walk in the village after dark.


    Two people from the house to the outside, Liu sister-in-law has gone to open the door, it is not others, is tingran and big aunt.


    As she walked in, she said with a smile, "come here so late, didn''t disturb your rest?"


    Lin''s mother shook her head with a smile? What time is this? My sister-in-law will be in the house soon. It''s very cold outside when it''s dark this season. " Tingran suddenly took leisurely''s hand and said, "good sister, I think you are always doing embroidery at home these days. It''s really hard. Tomorrow, my elder brother and sister-in-law will go up to the mountain to pick up dry goods, as well as my aunt''s two cousins and Xiulan''s brother-in-law. Let''s go to Yunfeng mountain on the northwest side of the village. If we don''t go deep in the mountain, let''s go together? I want to borrow your carriage for a day Hearing this, leisurely did not reply, Lin''s mother should be under the "difficult for you to think of your sister, I''m afraid your sister always stay at home will be stuffy sick." Then he said to his daughter, "horizontal and vertical work is not a matter of one or two days. Why don''t you go climbing with them tomorrow? It''s loose, OK?"


    Recently, it''s really a little boring to do embroidery every day. Since there''s such an opportunity, it''s good to go and have a look, so leisurely he agreed.


    The two sisters made an appointment. The next day, they would gather at the head of the village at the third quarter of Maoshi. Their aunt also had a carriage. At that time, they would drive the carriage to the foot of the mountain, and their cousins would go to the depths of the mountain forest to hunt some prey. And the lobby brother will accompany them to pick up some dried fruits at the foot of the mountain.


    Lin''s mother also follows Liu''s father and grandson. After all, it''s not bad to have more than one male.


    After setting the time, the two went back. Leisurely went back to his house, cleaned up a little, and found out a set of purple Tang trousers, which were made when they accompanied Shen Tian to Zhuangzi to school a few years ago. They only wore them once. Now try it. Although the cuff is a little short, it''s just right to be fat and thin. Leisurely will cuff and add a circle of blue and white piping, perfect.


    According to the previous experience of camping, leisurely prepared some hemostatic drugs, some light colored fine cotton cloth and a dagger for a rainy day.


    When she got up the next morning, it was still dark, but sister Liu got up early and made breakfast. Leisurely eat a bowl of fragrant egg noodles, and take a dozen cooked eggs and salted duck eggs, stewed chicken claws and some cakes prepared by Sister Liu, and then go out and take a carriage.


    Old Liu tou has been waiting at the door in his car. When he is old, he feels less. He is worried about his job. He got up at the beginning of this morning and helped his daughter do a lot of work.

 Chapter 61

    In order to light up, leisurely specially brought the glass lamp given by the palace, which is much brighter than ordinary paper lanterns. Leisurely handed the lamp to the little stone beside old Liu Tou to carry, so as to light the road.


    After gathering at the entrance of the village, tingran and his sister-in-law come and sit in the same carriage with leisurely.


    Linjia village is surrounded by mountains on three sides. In late autumn every year, people from nearby villages go to the mountains to pick up some dried nuts such as pecans, chestnuts and pine nuts to subsidize their families. In addition, at this time of year, when the game in the mountain is fat and strong, some hunters will go to the mountain for a few circles, but they will not return empty handed. But several small hills near the village were almost searched, so cousin Zhang Yuan of his aunt''s family wanted to go to Yunfeng mountain to try his luck. This happened to be tingran know, this girl make a must to go, just the lobby brother also want to find some herbs and so on for some private money, and cousin discussed. Otherwise, Zhang Yuan and his brother would not take them with them.


    At this time, the morning was very cold, and leisurely I wore a big red duoroni''s cloak. At first, it didn''t show when it was dark. Later, it became brighter and brighter, and the clothes were very eye-catching. After all, in this time and space, doroni is still an imported product, which is very expensive. What''s more, few country people wear cloaks. Tingran looks at the delicate pattern on the cloak and asks, "sister leisurely, what material is this? I haven''t seen it before. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "this material is called doroni, which is usually used for winter clothes." The others didn''t say much, but even if she didn''t, aunt tingran and her sister-in-law could see that the material was of great value. At the same time, old Liu tou saw that the sky was shining. He was afraid that little stone would fall down with the glass lamp in his hand, so he handed it in carefully. Leisurely took it over and carefully put it in the box under the carriage seat. Although people in the village say that leisurely has been a big servant girl for so many years, she must have accumulated a lot of private houses. After returning to the Lin family, leisurely has always kept a low profile. Her clothes are ordinary Jingyi buchai, and she hardly wears gorgeous clothes and jewelry. Tingran thought it was the village people''s conjecture, but now seeing the exquisite glass lamp and leisurely Cape, she felt for the first time that what the village people said might not be all wrong. However, Ting ran personality has always been open-minded, but also just a little envious for a while, then put the matter aside.


    The carriage has reached the foot of Yunfeng mountain. Although the road is rough, fortunately, the carriage can barely move forward. At this time, it is the late autumn season. Some trees in the mountains, such as Ginkgo biloba and red maple, are just in the season when their leaves turn yellow.


    After more than ten miles, because the road became narrower and narrower, my cousin''s carriage stopped in an open place.


    Everyone got out of the carriage one after another. The big cousin pointed to the stone forest ahead and said, "turn this way and there will be a stream. You can drink horses and water there. My brothers will come back at the beginning of Shenshi at the latest. Don''t go far. There are no fierce beasts in the woods nearby. It''s hard to say if you go further. "


    The lobby brother said with a smile, "cousin, you can rest assured that I will not let them run around." The eldest cousin nodded and went up to the top with her brother and Xiulan''s husband.


    The rest of the people discussed, leaving the steady old Liu head here to watch the carriage. The rest of the people carried the small basket and went up the mountain. Although Xiaoshi is only eight years old, all the children in the countryside have been used to wrestling since childhood. This mountain road is nothing to him. Leisurely looking at the small stone running in the front, I think I''m afraid I''m the weakest one.


    There are many sour jujube trees and persimmon trees in the mountain, and people have gained a lot along the way. Because of the carriage, we are not afraid to pick more things. Put these wild fruits in several cloth bags under a crooked neck tree and cover them with weeds. Bring it back when you''re ready to go back.


    Further on, the mountain road became steeper, but there were more wild fruits. Leisurely also found a large wattle on the edge of a cliff. At this time, the seeds of wattle are ripe. She is going to scull some of them back to fill a pillow. This pillow has the function of clearing the heart, strengthening the brain and improving the eyesight. It''s very suitable for her.


    However, other people are obviously more interested in the wild chestnut trees hundreds of meters away, and there seem to be several pecan trees there. Leisurely see this, said with a smile, "you go first, horizontal and vertical is not far, if something I shout you will hear. I''ll get some seeds and come to you. " Xiaoshitou insisted on staying with her when he heard the words. The lobby brother said with a smile, "xiaoshitou is quite loyal. That''s all right. Let him stay with his sister. We can rest assured." Seeing that everyone insisted, leisurely agreed.


    The seeds of Vitex under the mountain have already fallen out. Because it is cooler on the mountain, the seeds of Vitex here ripen late. In addition, there are few people here, so it took them two quarters of an hour to collect a small cloth bag. At this time, she heard tingran shouting "leisurely, come here, there are many delicious wild fruits." Leisurely to see the collection of these are almost enough, also promised a "here." The main reason is that she is also curious about the scenery in the distance.


    So leisurely and small stone go up, this section of the road is particularly steep, to support the trees next to it. Leisurely also worried about small stones, don''t bump, the result is that people are walking on the ground. So leisurely asked, "little stone, how do you climb the mountain is like walking, not panting at all."


    Xiaoshitou wiped the sweat on his face. "If you go back to the girl, my hometown is at the foot of the mountain. Our family''s land is on the mountain. Since I can remember, I have followed my mother and sister to work in the mountain every day. The mountain is steeper than this. I''m used to it."


    Nodding leisurely, the poor man''s child was in charge of the family early. With this amazing effort, her feet slipped and almost fell to the stone wall nearby. Fortunately, she caught a small pine tree nearby in time. This accident startled little stone. "Girl, are you ok?"


    Leisurely shook his head, "it''s OK. I slipped accidentally." She straightened up and was about to move on when she suddenly smelled a faint aroma in the air. She asked little stone, "do you smell a light fragrance?"


    Little stone sniffed hard. "It''s a bone fragrance. It''s like it''s coming from there." Then, he reached out and pointed to the front left, just in the same direction as leisurely thought, so she said with a smile, "let''s go and have a look."

 Chapter 62

    They walked ten meters forward and arrived at a cliff. The fragrance became more and more strong. They did not find the source of the fragrance after a circle. Leisurely sighed, "well, I don''t think it''s predestined with us. Fortunately, there is a wild grape tree here. It''s the best grape for wine making." Then he picked up the small scissors in the basket behind him and picked them up in a string.


    Little stone is not very interested in the wild grape. It''s sour. It''s not delicious at all. But there is a jujube tree on the side, which is red and big. He likes it better. He picked wild jujube action is more savage, there is no time to pick one by one slowly, directly hook a jujube more branches, one by one down. He also wore a pair of gloves, but he was not afraid to hurt his hand.


    Suddenly, leisurely heard a cry with surprise, "girl, come here and have a look." Leisurely after hearing that, he went over and saw that there were several clumps of wild orchids scattered on the cliff edge behind the sour jujube trees. Among the green slender leaves, several white petals were in full bloom, and the fragrance came from there.


    Leisurely was a flower lover in her former life. As a gentleman of flowers, orchid is also very popular with her, so she is familiar with the more common varieties of orchid. After spending so many years in Houfu, I have seen many kinds of rare orchids, but this kind of orchid is not in her cognitive range, and the northern region is not the main growing area of orchids. But these are not the main problems now. The problem is that the orchids grow on the edge of the cliff. How can they be dug out.


    Small stone see leisurely look at the orchid, take the initiative to say "girl is not want those orchids, I will dig them."


    These days, although xiaoshitou has gained some weight at leisurely''s home, he is still a thin boy at first sight. Leisurely can''t bear to let him take risks. "Well, it''s my blessing to see such exotic flowers and plants. How can you risk so much?"


    Small stone said, "I saw that the edge of the cliff is not particularly steep, not dangerous. I took a rope and tied it to my body. One end of the rope was tied to this big tree, and the other side was tied to my body, so that nothing would happen." Leisurely see his equipment is quite complete, then nodded, "then you must be careful, it is not easy to dig even."


    Then he helped Xiaoshi cut down the two jujube trees and some shrub trees in this area. Leisurely once again thanks to the master Chuang, who has brought such things as engineering shovels to her, adding a lot of convenience to her life.


    After Xiaoshi tied the rope, he walked to the orchid side quickly. After he passed, he turned back and said with a leisurely smile, "girl, don''t worry. It''s not steep here. It''s very safe." With that, he dug up. In his hometown, he had seen villagers dig orchids in the mountains and sell them in the city. He also knew that they were very delicate. Therefore, digging up also know careful not to hurt the root, it took nearly two quarters of an hour to dig out a clump. The second cluster is much faster. First, with experience. Second, this cluster is much smaller.


    He also wanted to dig the clump under the cliff. He was stopped by leisurely, "stone, come back quickly, these are enough." Little stone is not reconciled. "Girl, there are many more down there."


    Leisurely said, "the rare is the most expensive thing. If you dig too much, it''s not worth the money." After listening to this, Xiaoshi felt that it was very reasonable, so he was not willing to come up.


    Looking at the two orchids leisurely and carefully, I thought they were white petals just now. Recently, I found that the color of the petals is very light pink purple, goose yellow stamens, full and elegant flowers, fragrance and pleasant, leaves are oily green and fertile, it is the best orchid.


    She put some broad leaves on the bottom of the basket, and let the little stone dig some soil under the flowers, then put the two orchids in carefully. Many dignitaries here like orchids. I hope these orchids can be sold at a good price.


    It took a lot of time for them to toss about. They took out their pocket watch and had a look. It was a little more than that. That is to say, it took them more than an hour to go down the mountain. It''s time to go down the mountain. So he called to the mountain, "cousin, it''s late. I won''t go up. Let''s go back." After a while, there was tingran''s voice: "you wait there, don''t move, we''re going down."


    They went back to the place where they picked the seeds. The half bag of the seeds they just picked is still here. Waiting for Kung Fu, small stone and a nearby pecan tree pecan picked up a bag. This kind of hickory has thin skin and big kernel. It''s easy to eat. She even missed the snacks like butter walnuts with varied tastes in her previous life. With these gains, she could try to make them when she got home. So he said with a smile, "little stone, after I go back, can I exchange some walnuts with you?"


    Little stone looked at her strangely, "Miss, I''m all from our family. Aren''t the things I picked up from our family? Miss, if you want to eat, just take it. Do you want to exchange it? However, if Miss really wants to give me snacks, I''m also very happy. " Seeing the kid''s big face, he nodded with a leisurely smile, "don''t worry, I will keep my word." She didn''t forget the identity of Xiaoshi, but the walnut was hard picked up by Xiaoshi. Leisurely, she felt that it was not proper to rob something with a child. But if she is so successful, she can''t blame her for taking advantage of others.


    After a while, tingran and they came down. Leisurely see their back basket are heavy, you know they have a lot of harvest. Tingran saw the orchid on leisurely back at a glance, and asked, "don''t tell me, you two are busy here for a long time, and you''ve made such two broken flowers."


    Leisurely did not speak, just smile. But the lobby elder brother has some insight. Seeing that the pattern is not vulgar, he said, "tingran, don''t talk nonsense. What''s broken flower but not broken flower? This orchid is known as the "gentleman of flowers" and has always been sought after by scholars. The first-class orchids are priceless. It''s said that these two orchids are worth more than your basket. "


    Tingran is not annoyed when she hears the speech. She says to leisurely with a smile, "that''s very kind. If you want to be so valuable, you''ll have to treat your sister when you get rich."


    "It''s easy to say, no problem." Leisurely way back.

 Chapter 63

    As the saying goes, "it''s more difficult to go down the mountain than to go up the mountain." in fact, it''s the same. What''s more, when they go down the mountain, they all carry a lot of things. If there were not enough trees on the mountain, they could climb the branches to move down little by little, or it would be really hard to walk.


    Fortunately, more than half an hour later, they returned safely to the place where the carriage was parked. Old Liu Tou is leaning against the car door for a nap. Hearing the sound, he quickly takes the basket from leisurely. When I saw the orchids in the basket, I couldn''t help saying, "the flowers are really beautiful. I didn''t expect that there would be such orchids in the north."


    Leisurely smile nodded, "yes, I did not expect, it seems that today''s good luck."


    At this time, tingran sniffed and said, "what''s the taste, so fragrant?" Other people also smelled the smell. When they looked at it, they saw a bonfire rising in the rocks not far away. There was an iron pot on it. It was gurgling and steaming. The smell came from there.


    Old Liu said with a smile, "are you tired after climbing the mountain road for most of the day? I''ve just prepared some food. Miss and don can go to the river to wash their hands, and then come to have dinner. "


    They were really hungry and went to wash their hands.


    In the iron pot, the fish soup was stewed by some small miscellaneous fish that Lao Liu tou caught by the river. Although only some salt was added to improve the taste, the material was fresh and boiled for more than half an hour. The spoon was thick, and the fish melted in the mouth. It was really fragrant. Leisurely and from the carriage will bring the morning cake and bittern out, we drink fish soup, eating cakes, suddenly feel very comfortable.


    When they were drinking fish soup, Lao Liu pulled aside a pile of gravel and took out a black mud block from it. Then with the stick hit a few times, those pieces of mud have fallen down, and soon revealed dark green leaves. As soon as the mud fell, the fragrance came out.


    Old Liu tou put it in front of them and cut a hole with a knife. "My hands are dirty. Miss, please pull it yourself."


    Leisurely use the branches to get the rotten leaves to one side, and the smell of fish comes out. "I didn''t expect that uncle Liu still has this skill. It''s just" real people don''t show their faces. "


    Old Liu waved his hand and said, "young master Tang praised me falsely, but because he grew up near the water and had a hard life at home, he had to rely on the fish and shrimp in the water to satisfy his hunger. I''ve been eating for most of my life, and I''ll see it. "


    It took a lot of physical strength to climb the mountain. In the end, a large pot of fish soup, two roast fish, and the pastries, eggs and stewed fish brought by leisurely all finished.


    Having had enough to eat and drink, tingran heard that there were many fish and shrimps in the nearby stream, and she was about to go fishing by the river. Old Liu pointed to a small pool not far from the river and said, "don''t worry, Miss Tang. I just caught some and kept them there. I''ll ask my miss to give you some later."


    Everyone gathered around the pool. Sure enough, there were more than 20 fish, big and small, and some shrimp in the pool.


    After watching it, tingran was still reluctant to give up. "There are not many of them. So many of us have finished all of a sudden."


    Just then, a voice came, "what''s the end of the division?"


    Looking back, it was Zhang Yuan who was talking. I''ve come back with a lot of prey in my hands. Big brother and old Liu head in a hurry, help them unload the prey, let them have a rest.


    The big brother said, "I didn''t expect you to come back so early. My little sister is shouting to go fishing in the river."


    Zhang Yuan zhengse said, "I just saw the sky on the mountain. The clouds on the other side of the mountain are dark. I''m afraid there''s heavy rain there. I was afraid that you would stay in the river, so I rushed back. After a while, there will be big water coming from the river, so let''s go quickly. It''s no joke that the river course in the mountain rises with water. " Hearing this, Ting ran immediately stopped. So we quickly packed up things, set up a good carriage, and hurried back.


    When she got to the foot of the mountain, tingran lifted the curtain of the carriage and had a look. The original trickling stream suddenly became turbulent. Fortunately, the river was wide enough to hinder them. Even the elder sister-in-law in the lobby breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she didn''t lead her little sister to go fishing by the river. Otherwise, such a torrent would not be able to escape.


    It was still bright when they returned to the village. First, he sent his cousins home, declined the invitation of his aunt, and leisurely let old Liu drive home.


    Lin''s mother didn''t expect her daughter to come back so early. "She came back so early. How about going out to play? Are you hungry? I haven''t finished dinner yet. Why don''t we have some snacks first? "


    Leisurely shook his head, "I just ate some on the mountain before I came back. The fish soup and roast fish made by Lao Liu tou are delicious. He also fished a lot of big fish and asked Mrs. Liu to make one for her mother. "


    Then he pointed to a pheasant and a hare on the ground and said, "the pheasant was given by Xiulan''s brother-in-law, and the hare was given by her big cousin. I got a few orchids and some wild grapes, little stone picked up some walnuts, nothing else. So my sister-in-law gave me some chestnuts and wild hawthorn, and I divided two of the fish that laoliutou caught into a big family. "


    This girl is always generous. Lin''s mother smiles and nods, "you''ve done a good job. You should keep your family small and treat guests big. It''s good to be polite between relatives and relatives. After a busy day, are you tired? Take a bath and have a rest. Come over for dinner later. "


    Leisurely agreed to go, but she was not in a hurry to have dinner. Her first task was to plant the orchids. The last time she divided the chrysanthemums into pots, she bought a lot of flowerpots with simple shapes. Pick out a few from the inside and plant the orchids carefully. Two clumps of orchids, finally divided into five pots.


    The more you look at it, the more elegant and beautiful it is. No wonder so many people like it. It is said that today''s empress likes orchids very much, but she has no way. If you take it to the flower market, I''m afraid it won''t sell at a good price.


    I haven''t walked so much for a long time. Leisurely, I feel sore all over. Forget it. Let''s talk about it tomorrow. Let''s take a bath first. Orchids like shade, leisurely put them all under a small bamboo forest at the root of the south wall.


    The next day, leisurely rare indulge oneself to sleep a big lie in, just use premature meal soon. There are guests at home. They still want to find her by name.

 Chapter 64

    It''s Shen Ze, not others. It turned out that after Shen Ze took the two recipes back that day, he tried them according to the recipe. The pickles and bittern they made were full of color and flavor, so he was very happy. Then he asked his confidants to make these things according to the prescription and sell them in his own pickle shop. As expected, they sold very well.


    Because he''s really busy recently, he can''t get away from it. Today, it''s so easy for me to come to my home to thank you when I have free time. The most important thing is that I can''t use other people''s prescription for nothing.


    Now, although we also pay attention to male and female defense, it''s not unusual to have Lin''s mother accompany us. Seeing leisurely coming, Shen Ze got up and solemnly saluted, "Shen came here today to thank the girl."


    "Leisurely side to avoid this ceremony" is just a little effort, really can''t afford such a big gift. It seems that you have gained something. "


    Shen Ze chuckled and said, "to tell you the truth, after using the girl''s prescription, the business of our pickle shop has more than doubled. Thanks to the girl, Shen is really grateful." Then take out a small brocade box from the sleeve, "it''s just a small gift. It''s not a respect. I hope the girl will accept it."


    Leisurely declined for a while. Seeing that Shen Zecheng wanted to give it, he had to accept it. Because the Lin family had only mother and daughter at home, Shen Ze didn''t stay much, so he said a few words and left. Lin''s mother asked leisurely to take him to the door.


    When he came to the gate of the courtyard, he saw the orchid hidden in the green bamboo. He could not help saying, "the appearance of the orchid is very good. I heard that Miss Lin is a good flower grower. Is it possible that Miss Lin raised it?"


    Leisurely shook his head. "Mr. Shen looked up at me. I saw this flower by chance when I went to the mountains yesterday. I really like it, so I brought it back."


    Shen Ze nodded, "I see. Excuse me for asking. I don''t know if the girl is willing to give up two of them."


    Leisurely pick eyebrow to ask "childe also is the person that loves a flower?"


    Shen Ze smiles and shakes his head. "That''s not true. It''s just that a friend of mine is in urgent need of a pair of orchids with good appearance. It''s just that orchids are hard to find at this time of year, let alone the best ones. After searching Jingzhong for more than a month, I found nothing. Therefore, Shen would venture to ask. "


    Leisurely said, "in this case, the young master will pick two pots to move away."


    Shen Ze said with a smile, "my friend said that day that if there were any orchids in line, he would buy them with thousands of gold. I think this pair of orchids will be the price. In that case, I will pay the money for my friend first. " With that, he took out a silver note of one thousand liang from his pocket and handed it to leisurely.


    Leisurely took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress the heart of the crazy jump, calmly said, "in this case, then I will take it. If there is no childe, I can''t sell these two pots of flowers at such a price. So, I''ll keep one pot and try to keep it. I''ll move the remaining four pots. I think you will be of some use. "


    Seeing that leisurely insists on doing so, Shen Ze is also afraid that the flower will cause some unnecessary trouble outside, so he accepts it with a smile, "thank you very much, miss." Then, they moved the four pots of orchids to the carriage and left.


    Seeing that his carriage was far away, leisurely managed to control her excitement. She looked around. Liu''s sister-in-law went to the village with grass to wash clothes. Old Liu''s head and little stone were herding sheep on the edge of the pond. No one else saw all this.


    When she came back to the room, she whispered it to Lin Mu. Lin''s mother was also surprised to hear that "it''s just a few wild flowers. Are they really so valuable?"


    Leisurely nod "because the queen of the palace likes orchids, so the superior and inferior, many dignitaries are proud of having the best orchids. When I was in the Marquis''s residence before, I saw a pot which was a little worse than this one. It was worth 600 taels of silver. We''ve only sold 1000 liang of these four pots, which is not too outrageous. It''s just that it''s too easy to get the money. I''d better not publicize it. " Lin''s mother nodded quickly. "What you said is that we are orphans and widows. Although you came out of Hou''s house, if you really meet those difficult villains, I''m afraid it''s too late to ask for help. It''s a surprise to have the money. " Lin''s mother has always been cautious. If she doesn''t talk about it leisurely, she won''t tell us anything about it.


    With this money, it''s no use buying a small house in the capital. I''m relieved.


    After returning to the house, she put the small brocade box on the Kang Table. She had said that she wanted Lin Mu to put away the brocade box, but Lin Mu said that this prescription was what she wanted, and that it would be returned to her private room. What''s more, she has already collected the one thousand taels of silver for selling flowers, which she absolutely refuses to accept.


    Thinking in this way, leisurely opened the box. Xu felt that it was not suitable to send any kind of jewelry, so he only put a few lotus seed pearls and two pieces of gold in the box. She had seen such pearls before. She had a pair of earrings with such big pearls, and Fang Xinsu had given her some lavender ones. Although the color of these beads is common white, they are a little bigger than those. A bead of such size and appearance can''t be obtained without a hundred taels of silver. According to the price here, an inch of gold is about 167 taels of silver. All these add up to more than 400 and nearly 500 taels of silver. Shen Ze is really generous. In her previous life, she liked to study all kinds of food. She had all kinds of recipes and recipes in her head. If she sold them, how much would they cost? However, she just thought that if she did that, sooner or later, she would catch the eye of others. Well, now the family is well-off, and it''s not necessary to take that risk for some money.


    He also thought that this afternoon, Shen Ze said that he would take out 1000 liang of banknotes. It can be seen that his financial resources are still very strong. It''s funny to think that when I went to the Marquis''s residence the other two times, there was a mother-in-law who said in private that Shen Ze was a sojourner and nobody was willing to serve him.


    However, Shen Ze, who is considered to be rich in financial resources, is really stretched at the moment. However, he did know a man who was in urgent need of rare orchids. He rushed back to the capital quickly, and Shen Ze gave the orchids to that man. The man was also very happy to see that Shen Ze helped him find four pots of the best orchids in good condition. He sent someone to give him two thousand taels of silver notes. Shen Ze didn''t refuse too much, and this person''s identity is special. After they exchanged greetings, he went home.

 Chapter 65

    Because the Lin family had more than one thousand taels of silver, the purchase of a house in Beijing was officially put on the agenda. It happened that uncle Lin had an old friend who had been working in the Housing Department of the Ministry of industry. His mother asked him to do it.


    Uncle Lin didn''t expect that his sister-in-law was so rich. Two months ago, she had just bought dozens of acres of land and a room of servants. It''s only a few days. Now she wants to buy a house. He asked, "it''s a good idea to buy a house in Beijing, but the house price is not cheap."


    Lin''s mother thought awkwardly for a while, and said the excuse she had already thought of: "if I don''t hide from my elder brother, I''m useless. In the past, I had to rely on my relatives to help me, that is, I would be able to read books safely. If not, you can''t let leisurely be a servant girl for so many years. It''s just that leisurely is a kind-hearted child. He took the initiative to collect 600 liang of the silver he had saved over the years and the embroidery money he had sold in recent months for me to buy a house. It''s my intention to be a sister, though I don''t want her hard-earned silver. But she said that Enron is her mother''s greatest dependence. Now she helps her younger brother. In the future, when Enron is successful, she can also help her. That''s what I should do. "


    "That''s true. As long as Enron can go a step further, the leisurely marriage will go a step further." The eldest aunt was also helping. It seems that she underestimated the niece, so she took out 600 taels of silver to buy a house for her brother. No wonder people say that "I''d rather marry a servant girl". It''s just a servant girl. With only a few years of hard work, I can save this private house. In addition to the brilliant sewing skills and the way of doing things, we will not worry about finding a good husband in the future. Big aunt suddenly thought of his mother''s nephew, two years older than leisurely, and now she is a serious scholar. His grandfather is also a serious family background, his mother also has two or three hundred acres of land, life is not bad. Even his elder sister-in-law is very ambitious and wants to find a girl of all kinds. I don''t know if leisurely can enter her eyes.


    Seeing that Lin''s mother was so sincere and the money was ready, uncle Lin said, "in that case, I''ll find someone to help you find out. I just don''t know where my sister-in-law wants to buy it? "


    Lin''s mother said, "we have small families. We don''t have to go to those big families in the east city, but the south side is a bit too chaotic. I thought if I could find a clean yard more than ten miles away from the Imperial College. It doesn''t need to be too big. It''s only enough to have two rooms in ten or twenty. "


    They were all close relatives. Since uncle Lin had been entrusted by his sister-in-law, he changed his clothes and went to the Housing Department Yamen in the capital the next day. The housing department is equivalent to the Modern Housing Management Bureau, which is in charge of all the housing transactions and the leasing and maintenance of some houses in the capital. Although it is subordinate to the Ministry of industry, it also has its own separate office.


    His good friend surnamed Jiang is now the treasurer of the Housing Department of zhengqipin. He is a small leader. Although his official position is not big, he is rich in oil and water, so he is not willing to change places at leisure. Seeing his old friend coming, he invited him to his room and asked someone to bring tea.


    After listening to Uncle Lin''s intention, Jiang Siwu said with a smile, "I thought it was a big deal? It''s all up to me. But it''s a coincidence that you''re here. A while ago, a minister of the Ministry of official had just been dismissed. With a group of officials, large and small, going out or dying, many people want to sell their houses. A few big ones have been robbed long ago, and the remaining small ones are not small enough for those rich families. Ordinary people can''t afford to buy them, so they are shelved there. Your nephew is my nephew. Since our family want to buy it, it''s easy to discuss. "


    After that, he took out a thick book from the cupboard and pointed it out to Uncle Lin from room to room. "This set is on the edge of the east city. Although it''s smaller, it''s in the most prosperous area of the east city. It''s only a few hundred meters away from Zhuque Street. It''s a house with two rooms. There are twelve rooms, and the price is five hundred Liang. "


    Uncle Lin shook his head. "It''s too small. My nephew hasn''t married yet. This house is enough to live in now, but how can I live when he''s married and has children? What''s more, he has to take the imperial examination now. Such a prosperous area is not conducive to meditation and study. "


    "Let''s see this one again. It''s in the West City..." Jiang said several more. Finally, uncle Lin chose two of the houses that he thought were more suitable. When he went back, he talked to leisurely''s mother and daughter. One of the two houses is in the north of Guozijian. It''s only five or six miles away from Guozijian. There are two and a half houses in the house. There are sixteen houses in total. The house is a little dilapidated. If you want to live in it, you have to clean it up carefully. But the house is cheap. It costs only four hundred taels of silver.


    The other is in the south of Guozijian, more than ten miles away. It''s a three-way house, with more than 20 houses, complete with inverted seats and shadow walls. Moreover, the former owner has just renovated the house, which is relatively new and has most of the furniture. But the asking price is also high. The asking price is 852.


    The two of them looked at each other and said with a leisurely smile, "it''s a bother for my uncle, but it''s not a trivial matter to buy a house. If you can see it with your own eyes, you can rest assured."


    Uncle Lin nodded, "what you said is very true. I''ve already expected that. Tomorrow, I''ll take you two to those two houses."


    The next day, you ran and his wife went to the capital with Uncle Lin for a tour. In addition to these two sets, they also saw several other sets of houses introduced by Mr. Jiang. Finally, I chose the house with three entrants. One is that the house can be bought to live, without much trouble to clean up. Secondly, most of the people living around the house are officials of the Imperial College or teachers of a nearby Jingwen Academy. Jingwen academy is the examination room for candidates in Chunwei. Except for the year of Dabi, this place is quiet and peaceful, full of book fragrance. In future generations, a proper school district room. In the past, Meng Mu moved three times just to give her children a good learning and living environment? In this way, the more than 800 taels of silver is not too expensive.


    Finally, under the mediation of Jiang Siwu, the other side offered another 50 liang of silver. The Lin family spent 800 taels of silver to buy the house, and the two families soon went to the Secretary for housing to sign a document. With the help of Mr. Jiang, everything went smoothly. Of course, after the event, Mrs. Lin had to thank Mr. Jiang for his kindness.


    After the house is settled, leisurely can finally spread on the embroidery.

 Chapter 66

    But when Enron came back from the college and heard about it, he was very upset. He was ashamed to say to leisurely, "I am the only male in this family. I should shoulder all the responsibilities in this family. But now, I can do nothing but study. How can I afford to buy land and house for my sister and mother? No wonder people say it''s useless to be a scholar. "


    He patted him on the shoulder and said, "what''s wrong with the scholar? How respectable my sister will be depends on how well you read this book. You don''t have to feel guilty, and you don''t have to think about spending my money. I am not ashamed to say that if you become a scholar in the future, I will be able to marry a good family without a dowry. And if you are just a common people, even if I have a lot of money, I will only marry a squire. Therefore, as long as you read the book well, your sister''s future dignity and dowry will be all. We are brothers and sisters. We should rely on each other. " Since you have spent money to do good deeds, leisurely has no intention to be a living Lei Feng. Some of the pay, is to put on the surface in order to let people remember.


    Enron nodded, "sister''s words I understand, you can rest assured that I will redouble my efforts."


    The weather gradually turned cold, and light snow began to fall in the sky at the end of October. After the snow melted, Fang Xinsu specially sent the painting screen to visit leisurely, and sent 200 Jin of silver carbon, a pair of exquisite three foot charcoal stove, a delicate white copper hand stove with landscape patterns and a pair of silver aromatherapy balls.


    When you came back leisurely, you brought a small hand stove with lotus pattern, which was often used in the past. It was also appreciated by Han, and it was inlaid with enamel. But it''s natural that you don''t bring a big thing like a charcoal stove. The two charcoal basins of the Lin family are similar to ordinary washbasins. They don''t have a cover. When burning charcoal, they make a crackling sound and occasionally splash some sparks. If you do embroidery there, it will be troublesome if you gradually get a little spark.


    These days, leisurely is to stay on the Kang to do work, only on the Kang can only be cross legs, for a while and a half will be OK, after a long time that leg numb. She thought that she would go to the county to buy a pair of exquisite charcoal stoves in two days. Unexpectedly, Fang Xinsu thought of her head and brought her things.


    With Kang burning in the room and two charcoal stoves on, the whole room becomes warm as spring. Therefore, leisurely can continue to do embroidery work with ease. How can you spend like leisurely family. Naturally, there were those murmurs in the village, but Fang Xinsu sent someone to deliver silver carbon once a month. The big servant girl around the princess went out, which was bigger than the ordinary thousand gold ostentation. Every time she had a bodyguard with her. Those eight women only dare to whisper a few words. Sometimes they are heard by the respected old man and even scolded. After a long time, no one dares to say more.


    As for those who are really knowledgeable, they have already made friends with leisurely family quietly.


    It was the eldest aunt. Seeing that the princess and Mrs. Hou had sent their confidants to deliver things again and again, she could not help sighing that her nephew was not blessed. The last time she went back to her mother''s home, she mentioned it to her sister-in-law. Who knows that her sister-in-law was annoyed when she heard about it and said, "your nephew is going to be a scholar in the future. He is a senior official. How can he raise his head among his colleagues when he marries a wife who comes from a servant girl? Besides, I''ve heard that all the big maids in the big families are confused with their male masters. Your niece has been in Hou''s residence for so many years. Who knows if she can do it clean? "


    Hearing her sister-in-law talk like this, aunt Lin was annoyed at that time. "It''s just that my sister-in-law doesn''t look up to this marriage. I don''t think it''s so bloody. Slowly speaking, leisurely is also my own niece. I believe her innocence. No matter how poor my niece is, the Empress Dowager once praised "loyalty and righteousness" and gave red sandalwood Ruyi. Is the sister-in-law questioning the eyes of the Empress Dowager? "


    This hat can be a little bigger. Aunt Lin''s elder brother quickly made it over. "Good sister, don''t be angry with your sister-in-law. Don''t you know what she is? I haven''t seen much since. It''s just that this daughter-in-law should marry a mother-in-law after all. Since your sister-in-law doesn''t want to, let''s forget it. "


    Seeing the elder brother''s appearance, aunt Lin closed her eyes. At the beginning, her sister-in-law looked gentle and kind. Who would like to get married before she found that her eyelids were so shallow. She said to her elder brother helplessly, "if my brother-in-law is my nephew, I can''t talk to my sister-in-law. Since my sister-in-law doesn''t want to, I''ll take it as if I never mentioned it. " The sister-in-law dislikes the fact that she is a servant girl, but she can''t see the relationship behind her. I''m afraid the Lin family will depend on this niece in the future. With her relationship with Hou Fu and the princess, even if Enron only won the examination, it will soon be prosperous. Oh, what a pity.


    In November, there was no more fresh vegetable leaves on the Lin family''s table. Occasionally, they were just cabbage leaves and radish tassels. Leisurely see their own room so warm, feel that the heat white put is a waste. Then he found some flowerpots, put soil in them, sprinkled some vegetable seeds and garlic petals, and let Fangcao soak some soybeans and mung beans in two bamboo baskets to sprout.


    Bean sprouts came out very quickly. Three days later, there were fresh vegetables on the table that had not been seen for many days. With this good thing, we can''t enjoy it alone. Mrs. Lin sent Mrs. Liu to send some to several close families.


    More than half a month later, the vegetables planted in the house by leisurely flowerpots have grown seedlings, and the whole family is very excited. Leisurely see this method is feasible, can not help but think of the previous vegetable greenhouse. There are improved vegetable greenhouses in this time and space, but because there is no plastic film, some large families will build a flower shed with glass to grow some vegetables for the winter. But the price of glass is expensive, which is beyond the ordinary people''s ability to afford. It''s just the beginning of a long winter. When I was in Houfu, I could occasionally eat some fresh vegetables. Now if I want to eat, I really have to think of my own way.


    Just in winter, there is no other work, so try it. It''s not a big deal either. It''s just a matter of wasting a few seeds. Lin''s mother followed her to toss. Leisurely let old Liu''s grandparents and grandchildren find a two meter long and one meter wide place in the east wall of the backyard. When the sun is good at noon, open the ground and sprinkle some fertilizer. Use bricks and wheat husks to form a trapezoid around the land, and then insert some bamboo poles to build reed mats.


    In order to solve the problem of light transmission and cold protection during the day, leisurely and find a piece of snow-white cotton cloth to cover the shed, and then pull up the reed curtain when the sun is good during the day, put it down at night, and then cover two old quilts. There were no too delicate seeds in it, so it was divided into three parts, namely, small rape, spinach and coriander.

 Chapter 67

    In this way, besides embroidery, leisurely has another activity every day, that is to visit her small vegetable shed in the backyard. Fortunately, after five or six days, these dishes sprouted one after another. Although the germination rate is not so high, but finally out of some.


    At this time, the vegetables in the house are ready to eat. Before there was no green vegetables to eat, so the winter passed. Now that there are green vegetables, Lin''s mother doesn''t want to eat those turnips and cabbages all day. She also thinks that the vegetable shed can grow green vegetables.


    Because last time leisurely said that two colors of silk thread were missing, on this day, Fang Xinsu sent a picture screen to send her silk thread and some things. As soon as you enter the leisurely room, you can see the green vegetables. You can''t help saying, "Oh, the green vegetables are so watery. It tastes delicious when you look at them."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "how about having lunch here at noon? I''ll let them fry two dishes for you later. Although I can bring some for you, I''m afraid you won''t be able to eat if I bring it back. "


    The screen hesitated and said, "I have to go back as soon as possible. It will be dark early."


    Leisurely said, "it''s all right. It''s the end of the meeting. I''ll let them prepare for it in a moment." Finish saying, then call the grass to come over to enjoin a few words.


    Two people also said some gossip, leisurely personally poured a cup of sweet scented osmanthus red jujube tea to her, "it''s cold, you drink this to warm your body."


    Who would like to see the tea on the screen and shake his head and say, "good sister, I know you have excellent green tea here. Please give me a cup. I drink this tea every day in my house, and it''s getting hot."


    Smell speech, leisurely smile nodded, "this is good to say, I just have here a few days ago to do their own chrysanthemum Longjing tea, the most heat, I''ll make you a cup." With that, he took a covered bowl, made a cup of tea and handed it to Huaping.


    When the screen lifted the lid of the cup, I saw a few white chrysanthemums and a few bright red medlar floating in the clear tea soup. I couldn''t help laughing and saying, "it''s your delicate mind, and I don''t know how to think of it."


    Leisurely said, "what is the ingenuity? It''s just that I have some good Longjing left here before the rain. After a few years of waiting, it will become old tea. It''s just that I''m not used to drinking green tea in winter. Just a few days ago, I got a little angry, so I made this tea myself. It''s not killing two birds with one stone to make a cup or two occasionally. It''s not a waste of money, but also a good way to clear your eyes and clear your fire


    The screen said with a smile, "elder sister, you are smart, but you have to bring some for me when I leave later."


    Leisurely hastily agreed, "what''s so difficult? It''s not without you. " Then they talked about some other things. The screen also took out a pair of shoes from the carry on baggage and handed them to leisurely. "I think you don''t have the time to do this these days, so I made a pair of shoes for you. Naturally, the work is not as good as you. Don''t give up, just make do with some clothes."


    Leisurely received a look at the hand, only to see that the shoes with a bright red upper, embroidered with delicate iris, said with a busy smile, "such a delicate and bright work, if I still dislike, it will be unreasonable. Good sister, it''s hard for you to be on duty. You have to do this for me. I think your embroidery is getting better and better. I''m afraid it won''t take me long to teach you. " After hearing the words on the screen, he said with a smile and scold, "that''s not true. I''ll make shoes for you carefully. I want you to teach me well. Don''t try to be lazy. Come on, tell me what''s wrong with my work?" At the end of the day, he looked solemn.


    Seeing that she really wanted to ask, leisurely he said with a smile, "this work is impeccable in terms of needling alone, but there is still here. If you can add some oil green, it will be better." Then he picked up the needle and thread and showed it to her one by one. After listening to leisurely instructions, picturesque suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment in my heart. "No wonder I always feel that my work is a little dull. It turns out that''s the reason. I asked many people, but none of them taught me so carefully. Maybe I''m afraid I''ll learn to rob them of their jobs. The elder sister is the best. She never hides Leisurely said with a smile, "there are many schools of embroidery, such as Suzhou embroidery, Shu embroidery, Gu embroidery and Huiwen. Each school has different needling methods and is good at different things. If we can pool our wisdom and exchange what we need, it will benefit all people. But the world is like this. It''s hard to learn a skill, so it''s always thinking of taking care of yourself. Even if you accept an apprentice, you always hide your hand, for fear that you will be compared. In this way, many skills have unfortunately declined before they can be known by the world. In fact, why. Many times, it''s hard to improve some things just by making cars behind closed doors. On the contrary, when you teach others what you know well, you will have some special insights and some skills will be integrated unconsciously. " Listening to this, the screen is also thoughtful.


    Just then, Fangcao came in with a food box. She arranged the round table in the center of the Kang room and put the food on it. When it''s ready, you can see on the screen a stir fried vegetable, a stir fried meat with garlic sprouts, a plate of spiced peanuts and a plate of stewed beef, as well as two steaming bowls of small wonton, sprinkled with green onion and coriander powder, and ordered two drops of sesame oil. You can smell it from afar and feel it is very fragrant.


    Leisurely said with a smile, "look, I''ve said so much gossip all of a sudden. In the countryside, this dish is a little thinner. Don''t give up." "Sister, don''t be shy of me. I hear the princess often say that" listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. "Today, after listening to my sister''s instruction, I feel that I will not yield to this trip. Why should my sister belittle herself? Besides, I can''t eat such food around the princess. It''s only when the princess occasionally appreciates some dishes that she eats a little more. But my sister knows that no matter how good the food is, it''s what others have left. How many times can I eat a meal made for me alone like this? " Say, eye circles unexpectedly red rise. She quickly sniffed, "I lost my manners, sister don''t laugh at me, I can talk to my sister about this."


    Fortunately, all the servant girls were arranged in the hall, but no one else saw them. Leisurely picked up the handkerchief to help her wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, "silly sister, how can I laugh at you? I know your mind best. The princess and lady are generous people. Just serve them with all your heart. You will get what you want one day. Come on, try the wonton. It won''t taste good when it''s cold. "

 Chapter 68

    After all, she was also the servant girl of Hou''s mansion. The painting screen soon returned to its original state. She happily scooped up a wonton and blew it to cool. She bit it down. Then, she said pleasantly, "it''s Capsella. It''s hard for you to get this thing in such a season."


    Smile leisurely. "It''s also a coincidence that I sowed some lettuce seeds in a flowerpot. Who would have thought that shepherd''s purse grew out of it. Maybe it was the wrong name. However, it''s really fresh to wrap wonton with this dish. "


    Huaping hasn''t eaten fresh vegetables for a long time. Although Houfu also has its own flower shed, the quantity is rare, and the light owners are not enough to eat. Not to mention their servant girls.


    In the middle of the meal, Fangcao brings the same spicy fried chicken and fried chicken. Leisurely asked, "are the following mothers and bodyguards well served?" Fang Cao replied, "all are well served. The Mammy''s food is similar to that of the painted screen girl. The bodyguards outside each had a bowl of wonton and beef noodles. They ate them in my grandfather''s room, and some small dishes. If they didn''t have enough, they took some cakes to soak them. "


    Leisurely nodded: "you take two liang of silver to your grandfather, let your grandfather and they said, the man at home is not at home, it is not convenient for them to come home. There are some shortcomings in the hospitality. Let them understand. Give the money to their leader, and it will be regarded as a drink for them. " Grass promised to go out.


    Screen quickly called her, saying, "this is enough, so that the kitchen does not have to do, do not waste." Grass see leisurely also nodded, should be down. With a smile on the screen, he looked at leisurely and said, "this little girl around you has the style you used to have. By the way, why didn''t I see my aunt today? "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "mother went to the aunt''s house in the neighboring village to visit relatives. You can eat it with ease. I remember that you like spicy fried chicken best."


    As the screen picked up a piece of chicken to chew, it nodded, "yes, I always like to eat sour and spicy food, but the taste of the princess is light. Even the dishes of our yard maid in the big kitchen are light. If it wasn''t for the spicy meat sauce you gave me, I don''t know how to live this life. "


    Leisurely nodded her head, "OK, I know what you mean. When I leave later, you are indispensable, and catkins also like to eat this. You can also bring her a jar."


    Picturesque quickly swallowed the dish in his mouth and said, "I remember what you said. Sister Feixu came to me as soon as possible and said that she wanted to eat the pickles and beans you brought last time. If there were any, let her bring some more. "


    "OK, there seems to be only a small pot of pickled cucumbers left, but there are many pickled beans, pickled radish and pickled cabbage. I''ll give her one pot of each." Leisurely said with indifference.


    When you have enough to eat and drink, the screen will be ready to go back. Leisurely will she want tea, chili sauce and other things are packed in a package to her. Then she took out two bamboo baskets, one full of vegetables she poured out, and the other full of Hickory. Because he said, "I know that the mansion also has its own greenhouses. These are the few kinds planted in the mansion. Although they are few, they are good for the ladies and girls. This hickory is cooked by myself with seasoning, so that the owners can taste it. In addition, there are some dried vegetables, some wax gourds and a basket of lotus roots. You can take them back with you. They are not worth much. It''s my intention at least. "


    The screen said with a smile, "Oh, it''s not worth it? This basket of fresh lotus root can be sold for at least ten Liang silver. What about this basket of watery vegetables, which can''t be sold for 20 Liang silver? My sister is really rich. "


    "Come on, don''t be so talkative. You can go quickly. It''s too late and the road is slippery." Leisurely urged the screen to get on the bus.


    As she got on the bus, she said, "I guess the government will send someone to come here a year ago, and I''ll try to see you again."


    Leisurely nodded, "OK, I''ll let Mrs. Liu fry spicy chicken for you then." When the carriage returned to Zhongyi Marquis''s house, it was just beginning to get dark. Huaping first went to dicuizhai to write back to Fang Xinsu. When Fang Xinsu heard that leisurely asked her to bring back some vegetables, he said, "in that case, change your clothes and go with me to greet your aunt. I''ll go and grab a meal by the way. "


    When Fang Xinsu arrived at Yuehua courtyard with the screen, the Marquis Shen Mingchang was also there. The screen pointed out the things to them one by one, and said the leisurely words again. Han said with a smile, "this child has a heart. I''m thinking about one or two fresh vegetables to eat these two days, but the greenhouse in our house has nothing to gain these days. It''s a coincidence that you brought them back."


    Shen Mingchang on one side asked, "is that the maid who embroidered the double-sided embroidery for you?"


    Han nodded. "It''s just that. Leisurely, this child is skillful. He can not only embroider, but also grow this dish well. It''s fresh and fresh when he looks at it. Come on, take it to the kitchenette and let them clean it up. Just tell them to make it light and don''t lose the flavor of these vegetables. "


    Then he said to a little servant girl beside him, "go and invite the girl and the young man to come here. Just say to eat something fresh tonight." Then he looked at Shen Mingchang and said, "where did you have dinner today? And aunt Zhou? "


    Aunt Zhou was a concubine of Shen Mingchang when she took office. She was born in the water town of the south of the Yangtze River. She was delicate, graceful and charming. She was favored by Shen Mingchang. Yesterday, Shen mingchangyuan said that he wanted to have dinner in Yuehua hospital. Who thought that he was finally intercepted by Aunt Zhou.


    Although Han didn''t need to be angry with a concubine, he was also a bit tired and crooked. So when he thought about it today, he would stab Shen Mingchang.


    After hearing this, Shen Mingchang was not annoyed, but said with a smile, "madam, where is this? Naturally, I am willing to accompany my wife more. I will come here as soon as I come back today."


    A young man was watching, and Han just glanced at him and exposed it.


    After dinner, Shen Mingchang went to his study to deal with his business. Han asked the little girls to step back. While helping her to remove her bun, Feixu whispered, "madam, I''ve brought everything. I''ve let mammy Qi see it. There''s no problem."


    Han nodded, "did not let others know?" Feixu replied, "don''t worry, madam. The maid only told the screen that she wanted to eat it, and told her not to tell other people about the joke, so no one else knew about it. It''s light willow. It''s not a talkative person. "

 Chapter 69

    "You say, am I a little too careful?" Han leisurely asked. She felt her belly, which she had been looking forward to for many years. Naturally, she had to be very cautious.


    Feixu quickly replied, "it''s a matter of great importance. How careful your wife is, it won''t get in the way. It''s just that it''s been three months. Is it true that madam won''t tell the Marquis? "


    "I have told him about it. How could he come so often these days? " Han said with a curl of his mouth.


    After listening to Han''s sour tone, Feixu quickly advised, "which day hasn''t houye come to our yard since he returned to Beijing? Even if I don''t stay here, I will talk with my wife for a while. My wife has wronged the marquis. "


    "He knows for himself whether he is unjust or not. Hengli, I''m at this age, and I don''t expect to live in love. I just hope that this baby can be born safely, even if it''s a girl. In this way, Tian''s sister will be able to have a direct sister to support her in the future. Those who come out through their stomachs are, after all, unfamiliar white eyed wolves. " Han said coldly.


    Feixu knows that she''s talking about Shen Ying, the second girl. She looks soft and gentle on weekdays. She can''t imagine that she has such a temperament in private. Fortunately, the eldest lady found out in time. If not, she will have endless troubles. She only said in a slow voice, "madam, you don''t have to hurt your liver and lungs for this little man. Our eldest girl will be the fifth Prince and concubine in the future. And those two girls, no matter how ambitious they are, don''t their future still come from their wives? " Han chooses several ways to marry Shen Ying. After all, she is a girl who has been around for many years. Han is still reading some incense and fire. Unexpectedly, Shen Ying dislikes the poor family background of these people and complains to Shen Mingchang tactfully. Also said that if the marriage between the sisters is too bad, I''m afraid Han will be criticized.


    A common girl, want to compare marriage with her daughter, this will be criticized, OK? After this, Shen Ying was completely abandoned by Han. Even Shen Lian can''t compare with this girl. Although she looks a little unruly, her brain is clearer than her. In the past, he only pretended to be gentle and dignified, but now he is gradually showing his edge. It''s not because the boss was sent to the countryside by the marquis. It seems that he was abandoned. Is Shen Mao, Shen Ying''s brother, often praised by the Marquis recently? Hum, I''m afraid it''s nothing.


    As soon as Han''s eyes turned, he had an idea in his heart: "since the second girl in our family is determined to go up, I have to give her a hand to deserve the love between mother and daughter these years."


    These intrigues of Zhongyi Houfu have been far away from leisurely. She is busy with her embroidery. Now, the outline of the embroidery has come out, just a little bit to fill in.


    The time soon came to December 23, which was the new year. Two days ago, Enron came back from the Academy. This time, he can stay at home for more time. The Academy will not officially open until the first month.


    Leisurely see their progress is not slow, then also temporarily stopped work. There are too many things to do here for the new year. Everything has to be done by hand, so the efficiency is not high.


    After eating dumplings and tanggua, the new year is over¡° 23¡¢ Sweet melon sticky; 24¡¢ Fair day; 25¡¢ Grinding tofu; 26¡¢ Stewed mutton; 27¡¢ Kill the cock; 28¡¢ The face hair; 29¡¢ Steamed bread; Make a night on the thirtieth, and make a twist on the new year''s Day! " This children''s song vividly describes the situation of people in this time and space during the Spring Festival.


    On the 24th day, there is a very big market in the county. After leisurely came here, although he also went to the street, he still hasn''t been to the market. On this day, he and his younger brother took little stone and grass to the market for a big circle and bought some rare stubborn ideas.


    Enron saw that her elder sister turned a blind eye to the powder stalls where the big girls were so fond of going back. On the contrary, she was very interested in those clay figurines and sundries stalls. She bought a lot of clay figurines and small bamboo objects. He asked curiously, "sister, we don''t have many children, either? How can you buy so many children''s obstinacy? "


    Leisurely smile back to the way, "I think these two days to go to the Marquis''s house, please pay respects to the early years. What good things have you never seen? On the contrary, it is these stubborn ideas that they can still use the word "interesting" in their eyes. " After hearing this, Enron shook his head with a bitter smile. Sure enough, he did not understand the world of rich and powerful families. On the 25th day, leisurely prepared all kinds of gifts in advance, drove by Lao Liu tou and took the grass to Hou Fu. The old lady of the corner gate saw that she had arrived and helped her to move things down. She went in again.


    After a while, Feixu came out in person. "Before my wife said that I would send someone to your house to see you these two days, so you came by yourself. Come on, let''s go in. The princess and the big girl are in Yuehua courtyard. " There are several women behind to help carry things.


    In Yuehua courtyard, Shen Tian and Fang Xinsu are sitting in the small flower hall listening to people''s stories. It''s the end of the new year, the busiest time in the house, people come and go, very busy.


    Seeing her coming, they both stopped their work first. Fang Xinsu said, "I''m just thinking that I''ll let picturesque screen send you some more things these two days. It happens that you''re here. It''s a waste of time for picturesque screen."


    Shen Tian also said with a smile, "this meeting hasn''t come for some days. We all miss you. Mother is in the back main room. Go and talk to her first


    Leisurely see outside is also waiting for a large number of waiting for things, a few words back to the hall. The little servant girl saw her coming and said with a smile, "madam, I''m glad to hear that my sister is coming. I''m waiting for you in the room."


    As soon as I entered the room, I saw Han leaning on the embroidered couch and her protruding abdomen. Hastily smile salute "to the madam please, also want to congratulate the madam, finally got the wish."


    Han asked her to sit up to her and say, "you can see it at a glance. Most people in this house don''t know yet! But it will be new year''s day in a few days, and I can''t hide it for a few days. "


    Glancing at Han''s stomach, he said with a leisurely smile, "madam, this baby should have passed the first three months. Be careful, it should not be a big problem."


    Han shook his head gently. "Who knows? I hope everything goes well. "


    All of a sudden, the atmosphere became awkward. Feixu said, "madam, Qingliu has not only brought some fresh fruits and vegetables, but also some delicate gadgets. Would you like to have a look?"


    Han''s Fang said with a smile, "since what you said is so good, take it in and have a look."

 Chapter 70

    After a while, a woman brought in all the gadgets leisurely brought. The first one is leisurely''s own knot, one of which is exquisite.


    "Look at this craft. What else can''t you fight? It takes a lot of effort to make such a palace lantern? " Han asked while enjoying.


    Leisurely said, "madam, you are right. It takes two whole days for a palace lantern like this to be even. In addition to this pair of red, the rest of these are my mother with our little girl hit


    "No wonder, I think these pairs are neat, but they don''t have so much aura. Girls must like such a fresh pattern. Just leave the red palace lanterns to sister Su and sister Tian. Leave me the pair of cherry grass colored palace lanterns and the pair of pine flowers with four seasons of good wishes. This year''s roots are full of red, and you should add some other colors to make it fresh. " Han said slowly.


    In addition to these knots, there is also a greater sense of delicacy and tenacity. There are clay sculptures, root carvings and bamboo products.


    Han took one of the boys and girls like clay figurines and couldn''t put it down. He couldn''t help playing with them. Then he pointed to the things beside him and said, "these must be for girls and young men. Take them and give them a share. It will save someone''s mind." He asked, "what else do you have with you?"


    Leisurely back to the way, "there is nothing else. There are some fresh vegetables I planted, and some melons and fruits saved in autumn. They are still fresh. I brought some to my wife to try."


    After a while, as expected, some catkins personally brought up the washed and cut fruit. "If I didn''t know the situation of leiran''s family, I can''t believe that her family could keep the fruit so fresh, just like picking it from the tree. Didn''t madam dislike the fruit in our house yesterday? You have a taste of this. I stole a piece just now. It''s so sweet and crisp. "


    Han''s smile with toothpick fork up a piece to eat, "is really sweet and delicious." Then he asked leisurely, "how do you keep this fruit so fresh?"


    Leisurely back to "nothing, but wrapped in paper and put in the cellar."


    "That''s true. It''s just that Xuan paper is not cheap. How much paper will it take?"


    "Not much. I used the cheapest paper. Because I bought more, the bookshop owner gave me a very affordable price. At that meeting, I spent 30 liang of silver to buy 2000 Jin of apples and more than 1000 Jin of pears, and only 20 liang of silver to buy paper. Now the trustee has sold the fruit and made a net profit of more than one hundred taels of silver. " Leisurely leisurely said.


    "I didn''t expect you to have a business mind!" Han said with a smile.


    Leisurely lowered his head, "madam, you don''t think it''s just vulgar for me to talk about the money."


    "What''s so tacky about this? I can''t stand those people who only know about romance all day long and think they are tacky when it comes to money. They talk as if they don''t have to spend money. As long as it''s a proper business, what can''t be done? In a word, your style is similar to that of zegol here. It''s a pity that you are different from each other. If not, I have to introduce you to each other. " Han said with a smile.


    Just at this time, a servant girl came in and said, "if you go back to your wife, uncle Shen Ze of the clan comes to greet you and brings you some baskets of fruit from the south, which you will send to your wife."


    As soon as Han heard this, he began to laugh. "This man can''t bear to talk about it. As soon as he said that, his fruit came. Let someone carry it in. "


    Then, a few stout women lowered their heads and carried in four baskets of fruits. They put down the baskets and retreated. Another little servant girl came forward and lifted the lid on kuangzi, revealing the fresh and full fruit inside. Leisurely one by one, it happened that she knew them, two baskets of oranges, one basket of sweet oranges and one basket of grapefruit.


    Seeing that they all like to eat, Han nodded with a smile. "This kid, he has a heart. Feixu, go and tell Liu CAI to pick some good pheasants and roe deer from qianer Chuang Tzu and let zege''er take them back. "


    Feixu agreed to go out.


    After a while, the two sisters in the small flower hall came in. Han quickly asked people to serve tea and snacks. "Thanks to the help of two good girls, otherwise I would be blind? Come on, what would you like for lunch? "


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "is there no delicious food here for my aunt, and my cousin and I will not do our best? But since my aunt said so, I''ll order. Just now, I saw that Qingliu had brought some shepherd''s purse. Last time, I thought the shepherd''s purse soup was very good. Just order that one. There are fresh grass carp as big as that. Let the kitchen burn one, too? "


    Shen Tian chucked her with a smile, "you girl, how can your eyes work so well? The old lady passed us with her things. I didn''t see what was in it, but you did. But is there any fresh grass carp in this season? "


    Then he looked at leisurely and said with a smile, "the princess really lost sight this time. It''s not grass carp, it''s fat headed fish, also called silver carp. Because there are a little more fishbones, I don''t think the princess has seen them. But the fish head is very delicious when it is used for braised or chopped peppers. "


    After listening to this, Han said, "just these days, I also want to eat spicy food. Let the small kitchen clean up the fish and make it into minced pepper fish head. Then choose the fish belly with less bones and stew it. Then bring the fresh vegetables from the willow to the table. "


    Then, she sighed and said, "I''ve heard the name of minced pepper fish head before, and it''s said that Gaozu liked it very much. I ate it twice in my mother''s house, but I didn''t like it very much at that time. Today I feel like eating it after hearing the name. It''s said that it''s sour and spicy. I can''t say that this is your sister in my stomach. "


    Shen Tian and Fang Xinsu looked at each other and said slowly, "mother, don''t worry, whether it''s my brother or sister, they are all my own brothers and sisters. I will take good care of him in the future."


    Fang Xinsu also followed suit: "and my cousin, my aunt just rest assured that the child will have a princess''s sister and a princess''s cousin in the future. It''s no problem to walk horizontally in the capital."


    Han''s "Puchi" suddenly laughed, pointed to Fang Xinsu and said, "still walking horizontally? Isn''t that a crab? Well, I don''t expect her to make any great achievements, as long as she is safe. " This is really the truth of Han''s heart. As long as Shen Tian is one of the five princes and concubines, no one can shake her position in the Marquis''s mansion.

 Chapter 71

    After a while of talking and joking, a servant girl came to tell us that the meal was ready. A group of people went to the flower hall for dinner. When sitting down, Hans must let leisurely sit on his left side, leisurely insisted on not, Hans said, "the last few times you came, all catch up with me, something can''t treat you well. Now, as a guest, you should be here. " Shen Tian also in the side to persuade, leisurely square told to sit down, inclined body to sit down.


    After lunch, Han said, "since I''m here, I''ll stay here for one night before I leave."


    Leisurely smile back to the road, "the end of the next house is busy, I will not be here to make trouble.". After a year, I''ll say hello to my wife and girls


    Just at this time, a mother-in-law came to tell her that she was Binda''s grandmother from the family on the back street. Han nodded, "please go to the side hall to serve tea first. I''ll be there in a minute." Then he said with a helpless smile, "well, you''re right. People are coming and going this year, and I can''t greet you well. Then go home first and say hello to your family for me. After the Spring Festival is warm, I''ll send someone to pick you up for a few days Then he said to the catkins, "when the first month comes, you think about it for me. Don''t forget."


    Feixu said with a smile, "don''t worry, madam. Even if the maidservant forgot it, the princess will remember it clearly."


    Han stroked his forehead. "Oh, I forgot if you didn''t say that. Isn''t it? Sister Su has also arranged a big job for Qingliu. No wonder I say that it''s the time of growing fat in winter, and Qingliu is getting less and less. I thought it was because the girl''s family loved being slim, but now I understand that I''m afraid I''m tired. Sister Su, look at Liu Qingliu''s hard work. You can''t wait for him. " Han joked.


    Fang Xinsu stood up and said, "don''t worry, aunt. I won''t treat sister Qingliu badly. I''ve got a lot of good things for my sister. Let''s go. I''ll take you to have a look. "


    Han nodded, "good boy, you go, you don''t have to come again. After a year, you come back. "


    Leisurely agreed, and then made a big ceremony, said, "that slave maidservant will give his wife a worship in advance. I wish you all the best in the New Year Han asked someone to help her up, and let Feixu take a purse for her. "Since you''ve been worshipping for the new year, then the red envelope will be given to you in advance."


    Leisurely and left Shen Tian, Fang followed Fang Xinsu to di Cui Zhai. When he arrived at the di Cui Zhai, Fang Xinsu said to Xiuluo, "take out all the things I asked you to prepare a few days ago and put them on the car of Qingliu." Then he looked at leisurely and said, "I knew that such a big job would take at least one year, but now I let my sister finish it in half a year. It''s really because of my selfishness that my sister worked hard."


    Leisurely quickly waved his hand, "girl, since I dare to accept what I said, I guess I can do the job. If not, I would not agree to the girl''s request. Don''t worry, girl. Since I''ve promised, I''ll do my best, and I won''t delay you


    Fang Xinsu patted her hand. "I like what you said just now. Now everyone is calling me from the princess. It''s the same as that I''m not surnamed Fang. After that, you still call me "girl". I feel comfortable with that name. "


    After listening to this, the maids in the palace all raised their eyes to see mammy Yu. Seeing only Mammy, they were as steady as they didn''t hear. They exchanged a look with each other quietly. Since mammy didn''t care, we should not have heard it.


    Instead, a little maid in waiting quietly ran out and told Xiuluo, who was watching the old lady move things. Xiuluo Wenyan said, "as long as the princess is happy, besides, Qingliu is not so frivolous. When there is an outsider, she will have a sense of propriety."


    The little maid pouted and said, "I''m complaining for my sister. Sister, you''re the lady in charge of the princess. You''re the official who comes out of the palace of the Empress Dowager. As a result, I have to prepare things for the country girl myself. I feel aggrieved for my sister after reading them. " Xiuluo said, "what''s wrong? I''m just doing some work now. Who let me control the human relationship around the princess? Is it difficult for you to do the work? " Finish saying, don''t look at that little maid in waiting any more, turn round to go in. But I thought that the little maid in waiting didn''t know who had planted the nail. She had already stirred up the relationship between her and the princess several times. It seemed that she had to tell the princess when she had time.


    Xiuluo personally watched the old woman move the silk and satin bags to the car, and asked the little maid to report back to the princess, saying that everything was packed. She saw the carefree little servant girl Fang Cao sitting on the edge of the carriage, and she didn''t take advantage of the master''s absence. Xiuluo saw that she was lovely and knew the rules, so she took off a sachet she was wearing and gave it to her, "it''s hard for you to be so clever. Take it with you."


    Fang Cao didn''t know the rules of the big family. She saw that the sachet was delicate and lovely, and there was a rose red silk tapestry hanging underneath. Although she liked it, she didn''t dare to accept it. Xiuluo took her hand with a smile and said, "take it. It''s just some lily fragrance, and it''s not valuable. Your girl will never talk about you again." With that, he gave her something.


    After a while, leisurely came out. Xiuluo pulled her into the carriage. "Madam, there must be something for you. Don''t hurry. I''ll tell you about these things. " Then she pointed it to leisurely one by one. "The princess thought that you didn''t have time to make clothes years ago, so she asked Fang''s sewing room to make two clothes and a big red lotus pattern cloak with silver rat skin for you. There is also a soft woolen brocade cape and a Kesi cloud pattern double breasted jacket sent to you. They are all for you. They are all put in this blue burden of the lake. In addition, there are two sets of clothes for Mrs. Lin, and the other two for the younger brother of the Lin family. The princess said that you can''t make clothes for your family because you''ve delayed your time. Let''s make up for it. The bottom piece of brocade and Hangzhou silk is reserved for you to make clothes. This pink solid yarn is used for lining. There are also two boxes of snacks made in the palace and two jars of black tea, which are just right for the guests next year. It''s estimated that the bird''s nest I gave you last time should be finished, and I brought you a packet of top-grade official swallow and snow candy. You don''t have to be embarrassed. Now the princess is deeply loved by the Empress Dowager and the queen, not to mention the two ladies. It''s been two or three years since we''ve had enough filial piety outside. In addition, there are two kinds of jewelry in the box. It''s not very valuable. The princess told you not to be too rough and stubborn. "

 Chapter 72

    Leisurely embarrassed smile, said "you this is to say where words?"? These are all good things. Every time I do this, my heart is very tangled, these things are not received, do not receive is not. What a torment Xiuluo said with a smile, "what are you talking about? The princess treats you as her own talent. If you just help the princess embroider the embroidery, you will not waste the princess''s heart. "


    Just as he was talking, Feixu and Qinghe also came over. They were followed by many servant girls with many things. Xiuluo looks at leisurely with a smile. "Compared with his wife, the princess is reserved. You see, this is really the posture of preparing a dowry for you."


    How can you be ashamed of such a joke? Leisurely this modern core? On the contrary, she gave Xiuluo a push: "I''m not very old, and my mother said that she would keep me for two more years. My elder sister is two years older than me. Even if I prepare the dowry, I should prepare my elder sister first. " Xiuluo was so ashamed of her that she said, "you smelly girl." Then he got out of the carriage laughing and scolding. Fortunately, their voices were not very loud. They thought they were joking, but they didn''t take it to heart.


    Leisurely also came down. Feixu asked the woman to load things into the car and said, "in this bag are two pieces of good silver fox skin and sheep skin. They all have excellent fur. I''ll make a big fur coat to wear. There are also some good ruler heads. You have time to make your own clothes. These are two sets of clothes for your wife. She said that you can take them back or give them to your mother. There are also some new books and a pair of pens for your brother. In this package, there are all kinds of pills, such as zijinding, huoluodan, meihuadiantongwan, shuganyiqi pills, etc., and there are labels on the bottles. There are also some common tonic herbs such as Angelica sinensis, Lycium barbarum and Codonopsis pilosula. My wife also sent someone to pack you some fresh fruits such as Wuchang japonica rice and citrus, two jars of good Huiquan wine, and some snacks and some dried fruits made by ourselves in our house. It''s a good treat for you next year. In addition, there is a purse for you to hold Then he took a break and said, "it''s just a few things. It''s not much valuable. Madam said that it''s just an idea from the ladies." Then he looked at Qinghe and said, "what did big girl give you? If you don''t come out in a hurry, are you willing to give it? "


    Qinghe nodded with a smile. "Exactly. Seeing that her carriage was almost full, I was thinking about whether I could button these things down quietly, so I was seen through by sister Feixu. I wanted to make some money, but I don''t have the fortune. It''s just that. You''re not going to load sister Qingliu into the car. I''ll be even more reluctant to give up later. " Bai Wei at the back said with a smile, "no wonder Qinghe was searching for the girl''s storeroom for a long time just now. She chose the delicate and tenacious way to do it. She wanted to enrich herself." The big guys all laughed.


    Qinghe pointed at Bai Wei''s head and said, "let''s arrange it for me. I don''t want the monthly example of this month?" Bai Wei quickly bows, "good sister, who is not clear about you? I was joking


    The next catkins said with a smile, "OK, don''t make a fool of yourself there. Sister Qinghe is teasing you. The big and small servant girls in our house, if they are the richest in private, are Qinghe. Can she still see your idea? In the future, it''s good for you to hold sister Qinghe''s thigh more. "


    Qinghe took a look at the catkins and said, "OK, you have more words." Then he said to leisurely, "the girl knows that the princess has prepared clothes for you, so she doesn''t give you any more clothes. I just want to say that the newly acquired scroll of Kesi meique and a pair of flower and bird pattern pastel pen holder must be with your spleen and stomach. I want to bring it to you. There is also a package of scattered colored beads for you to keep. There aren''t many things. Let''s not be too thin


    Leisurely quickly shook his head with a smile, "it''s thinning. What''s my gift? I''m not going to visit again. "


    After a few words with you, I got on the carriage and went away. When walking near Beicheng, leisurely asked, "uncle Liu, do you have everything I asked you to take with you?"


    Lao Liu nodded, "Miss Hui, I''m taking it with me."


    Leisurely nodded and said, "let''s take a detour and go to the house in Tonghua lane. Paste the couplet, and save another trip. "


    Laoliutou nodded and turned the carriage to Guozijian. It took half an hour to paste the couplets. It seems that there are too many couplets in this room, which is not good. It takes a lot of effort to pick them up. It''s not too early. Lao Liu''s driving speed is faster. Coincidentally, a seven or eight year old girl was knocked down at the corner of an alley. The little girl was holding a paper bag in her hand. She fell so far that the bittern came out. The little girl cried out with a "wow".


    Lao liutou was sweating. He came down from the carriage and went to the little girl. He said softly, "little sister, don''t cry. Our coachman didn''t mean to bump into you. Do you have any bumps? "


    The little girl shook her head. "I didn''t touch her, but the bittern I just bought is dirty. My father will scold me when I go back." Leisurely at a glance, I saw that the stewed chicken feet and the like had been scattered in the soil. It was really too much to eat. So he comforted, "it''s OK, little sister. Tell me where I bought these things, and I''ll buy you another one."


    The little girl pointed to a shop not far away and said, "I bought it there. The bittern in his house is delicious. I don''t know if there is any more."


    "It''s OK, let''s go and have a look." Then he took the little girl with him. The shop is called "baiweizhai". After entering the shop, there is a big case about two meters long and more than one meter wide. There are four or five big pots on the case. Two clerks are busy entertaining guests there.


    Leisurely asked the little girl, "little sister, what kind of bittern did you want just now?" The little girl sobbed and said, "it''s stewed chicken melon and pig ears."


    So leisurely then turned to a man and said, "small two, please give me a stewed chicken feet and pig ears." The guy was embarrassed to smile, "I''m really sorry, today''s stewed chicken feet have been sold out, there are pig ears, in addition, there are sauced beef and sauced pig feet."


    The little girl cried again, "my mother loves to eat stewed chicken claws. If she can''t buy them back, she will kill me."

 Chapter 73

    Leisurely see her cry so sad appearance, suddenly some at a loss. Seeing this, the man asked, "didn''t Xiao ye buy stewed chicken feet just now? How can I buy chicken feet again? "


    Smell speech, leisurely then ask "originally little two elder brothers know this little sister, say is our not, my family coachman just at the turn didn''t notice someone, carelessly rubbed her down, the bittern in her arms fell to the ground.". Fortunately, her people have not been knocked, so I want to compensate her for a share of bittern. I didn''t expect that the business of your store is so good. "


    The guy sighed, "at the end of the new year, things sell faster than usual."


    As he spoke, a voice came from the inside of the shop, "what''s the matter?"


    How does that sound so familiar? Leisurely look up, just on a pair of deep and distant eyes, originally this is Shen Ze''s shop. As soon as she was stunned, she heard a slightly magnetic voice from the other side, "how did Miss Lin get here?"


    Leisurely said the matter simply, Shen Ze frowned and looked at the man, "is there no stock in our shop?"


    The man shook his head and said, "if you go back to the owner''s house, there will be no more. Fortunately, this afternoon, master Fang sent someone to round up the remaining chicken feet, so now there is no more


    Shen Ze then said, "why don''t you give her some more side stew?" The little girl just shook her head and cried.


    But the man sighed, "ah, young master, I don''t know. This little leaf''s home is in Lihua Lane behind. Her biological mother died early and has been living under her stepmother''s hand. There are more than ten big brick houses in their family. They live in three or four houses, and the others are rented out. Every year, you can get a lot of money just by renting. Can often eat from the bittern, that life is not bad. But you see, this girl is skinny. She is eleven years old and looks like a child. What she was wearing was old clothes for many years. Her stepmother often beat and scolded her. A few days ago, she was yelling to sell her. She was stopped by the girl''s aunt. I''m afraid that the night fork is going to find fault again when this happens today. It''s necessary to beat him again. " Hearing the beating, the little girl trembled.


    Leisurely exclaimed, "does her father care?"


    The guy sighed, "when yecha didn''t have a baby, he still had some face towards the child. Later, two big fat boys were born in succession, and they began to make things worse. If you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather. Her father said it twice earlier, and later he got used to it. "


    Leisurely thought that the little girl was only eight or nine years old. Unexpectedly, she was eleven years old this year. Just now, although she saw the shabby clothes the little girl was wearing, she thought it was because of her poor family, so she didn''t care very much. Now, no matter how poor the family is, they will make a padded jacket for their children on such a cold day. Look at this little leaf again. Although she wears a lot of clothes, it''s layer by layer. It''s all single clothes. I''m afraid she has put on all the clothes she can wear? Her hands were covered with chilblains and cracks, and her hands were swollen. Leisurely not from some of the heartache up, she has not seen such a miserable girl for many years.


    The little leaf saw that the stewed chicken feet were gone. She was thinking that she would be beaten by her stepmother when she went home. Maybe she would be killed. She suddenly thought of her mother. If she was still there, she would not suffer from the pain. She might as well be killed by that evil woman, so that she could go to find her mother.


    Just as I was daydreaming, suddenly a nice voice came, "little leaf, right? Would you like to leave your present home and go with your sister? "


    Xiaoye raised her crying eyes and looked at her sister with a kind face. She laughed and looked like her mother in memory. So she nodded, "I do."


    One side of Shen Ze asked, "do you want to buy this little girl?"


    He nodded leisurely, "since I''m the one who caused the trouble, I''ll end it. If you go on like this, the little girl will freeze to death even if she is not killed. Even so, it''s better to follow me. Although she is a maid, I will always keep her food and clothing Shen Ze nodded, "I understand what you mean. If you can trust me, I''ll leave it to Shen. But Xiao Ye will come to the girl in two days


    Leisurely hesitated, "but..."


    Shen Ze firmly said, "girl, don''t worry. I will take Xiaoye to Linjia village in two days and give it to you. Besides, at this time, if the girl doesn''t go home, I''m afraid aunt Lin will be worried. "


    It''s really late. Leisurely, she orders Fang Cao. Fang Cao turns around and goes to the carriage. After a while, she brings a cotton padded jacket and a small porcelain box. Leisurely puts on the cotton padded jacket for Fangcao herself. Leisurely is tall and tall. The clothes she wears as a family jacket are enough to be a robe for the little girl, but it''s also warm. Then he opened the porcelain box, dug out some of the paste and put it on her hand. "You can be obedient. This young master Shen will take you to me in two days."


    Xiao Ye knows Shen Ze and knows that he is the boss of the shop. Compared with the strange Lin leisurely, in fact, Shen Ze let her trust more. So she nodded obediently.


    Leisurely stood up and gave a formal salute to Shen Ze, "then this matter will bother you."


    Shen Ze quickly waved his hand, "Miss Lin, you''re welcome. I''ll take care of it. It''s getting late, so I won''t keep more girls. Please, girl


    Then Shen Ze politely sent leisurely to the door, until Lao Liu left with a carriage, and then turned back to the shop. He then waved to the man and gave a few orders. The man was very busy and said, "we neighbors, seeing that Xiao Ye is so poor, all want to help her, but it''s a household chore after all. We can''t do anything about it. It''s just giving her some food in private to keep her from starving. Now, since the young master is willing to take care of it, it is also her blessing. "


    Shen Ze ordered, "after all, it''s a matter of calculation. Don''t tell others. If Xiao Ye''s stepmother knows the truth, I''m afraid we can''t live in peace. " The guy promised to go.


    When we got home, it was dark. Mother Lin had looked around the gate several times. Seeing that they were back, she took her to the house and asked her to sit by the fire to get warm. "Why did she come back so late? But I''m so anxious. " He also called to Mrs. Liu, "I''ll cook ginger soup and pour a bowl for each of them. I''ll drink it and warm up."


    After a bowl of ginger soup, leisurely just feel the body warm, square slowly will small leaf things one by one said.

 Chapter 74

    After listening to her daughter''s narration, Lin''s mother nodded, "you''ve done a good job. Our family is not bad at the idea of food rations now. If you can save the child''s life, it''s also a good thing to accumulate merits." She nodded leisurely. "My daughter thinks the same. If she is scolded by her stepmother, whose child is not taught by her elders? Mother, you haven''t seen the child''s frostbite with your own eyes. Many places are purulent. If you don''t treat it as soon as possible, I don''t know if you can survive this year. I''m afraid she''s scarred before I can see her. " Lin Mu therefore said, "then when the child comes, give her a good look. We should do our best to treat her. It''s just that when it comes to this in the future, you have to think more about it. "


    Leisurely quickly said, "mother doesn''t say it. I know in my heart that there are many people suffering at the end of the day, but God only let me meet this child. I think we have some predestination. Mother can still remember when I was a child and I play quite good that peach, but also because of the encounter of a fierce stepmother just lost his life. When I saw this little leaf, I thought of Xiao Tao, and she was so pitiful that I decided to buy her. I''ll never be so good at making decisions in the future. Let''s get her money out of my private room. "


    Lin''s mother saw that she recalled her daughter''s sad past and said, "good daughter, you have always been a sensible person. I just want to advise you in vain. Just a little girl, our family still can afford it. How can we talk about private or not? Is it hard to be angry with my mother? "


    Leisurely shook his head, "mother is all for my good, how can I be angry about this idea? I''m not afraid of mother''s jokes. Although Fangcao''s servant girl often follows me now, her relatives are all in our house. A few years later, when I went out of the house, it was time for her to use it. But at that time, she was willing to, and I was not willing to separate them from each other. I can''t take them all away, so I''d better teach a little girl, and I''ll take care of everything from money to monthly expenses, which will save me a lot of trouble. "


    Lin''s mother took her daughter''s color into consideration. Although she felt that her daughter''s practice seemed to be somewhat original, she still nodded, "since you think clearly, it''s up to you. It''s getting late. Let''s eat first. "


    Leisurely this just feels that there seems to be one less person in the family "how did not see younger brother?"


    Lin''s mother said with a smile, "I''ve been taken home to drink by your second cousin. Let''s eat."


    Leisurely nodded, just about to speak, the grass outside ran in and said, "girl, all the things brought back from the capital are settled, the fruits are put in the East ear room, and the rest of the burden is moved to the girl''s room." Leisurely say "you this wench, pour is sincerity, how don''t first take this room to let mother have a look?"


    The grass suddenly disappeared. But Mrs. Lin immediately said, "good boy, you''re right. Since it''s the lady who brought it back, you should put it in the lady''s room. Come on, you''ve been tired all day. Go to dinner The grass just went down.


    Leisurely and apologetically, he looked at his mother and said, "mother, the new year''s gift sent to the Marquis''s residence is for the family. Naturally, this gift can''t be taken by me alone. I should let my mother choose it first."


    Lin''s mother said with a smile, "OK, why do we still talk about those empty rites? Isn''t the rent in your name handed over to your family? Besides, if it''s not for your face, can our idea be sent to that mansion? You have paid enough for this family. You should take it. Is it difficult for you to be filial to me when there are good things? "


    Leisurely quickly show Yan way "mother, said is, it is my evil Zheng."


    At the same time, Mrs. Liu set the table, a chicken mushroom soup, a cabbage fried tofu and a cold mutton tripe. Leisurely looked at the dish and said, "I remember we didn''t kill sheep? Where''s the Morchella? "


    Lin Mu replied with a smile, "no, your uncle''s family slaughtered a sheep today. Enron and I went to help your aunt cook mutton. Your aunt gave some cooked mutton and Morchella. I think you like to eat this, so I just let Mrs. Liu mix the morchelles and save the mutton for tomorrow. Here, try the chicken soup, stew it for half an afternoon and simmer it on the stove all the time. " After a leisurely taste, the chicken has been stewed crispy and rotten. It melts in the mouth and the soup is delicious. I can''t help drinking two bowls. Lin Mu didn''t like the smell of mutton, so the plate of mutton basically went into leisurely stomach. In the end, leisurely felt that he was a bit full.


    After eating, Mrs. Liu and Fangcao naturally came in to clean up the table. Leisurely back to his house, put on a homely clothes. It''s very good at home, but it''s not convenient to take a bath. It''s better in summer. It''s warmer in winter, and it''s too cold to take a bath. It would be nice to have earthworm at home.


    After changing clothes, leisurely check and sort out the half Kang things one by one. In the end, I had no choice but to get too many things in recent months. Not only a large wardrobe was full, but also several boxes brought back from the Marquis''s house were full. If there were more things, we would not be able to put them down.


    Then she picked up one or two big bags and carried them to Mrs. Lin''s room. "Mother, look, these are all the clothes given to you by your wife and the princess. Can you see if they match each other?"


    As soon as Lin Mu saw it, she was full of clothes, cotton padded jacket, coat and skirt. There were more than ten pieces in all. I can''t help sighing, "how can I get these? Just leave one or two for me. You''d better keep such good clothes. "


    Leisurely, she took her hand and said, "these are for your special mother. The princess said that this year''s new year''s Eve, and I can''t make new clothes for my mother, so I asked the sewing room to make two sets for my mother. In addition, these two sets were given to his wife by external filial piety. His wife found two sets for her mother and said that if she didn''t wear them, she would give them away. "


    Mother Lin said, "Oh, how can you give away such good clothes? So many, I can''t wear them alone. You can choose some. "


    Leisurely back to "I also have, last time the big girl gave me the clothes have not yet on the body, originally thought to wear the new year, this time got several. My mother can''t wear it for a while. With such good materials and workmanship, she can still wear it as long as she keeps them and takes them out after a few years. We are not such a noble family. We have to wear new styles. And these materials are suitable for mother''s age. Mother just put them away. I''ll take it as my daughter''s gift to you. "

 Chapter 75

    "Well, since it''s the daughter''s filial piety, I''ll take it. We can''t buy such fine brocade and satin at ordinary times. The colors of these years are elegant, so it''s not out of date to put them out for ten or eight years. Well, after that, I won''t have to make new clothes for several years. "


    Leisurely did not pick up this stubble, pointed to another burden and said, "it''s all for my younger brother. I don''t know when he will come back."


    Just as he was talking, he heard the door open and close. Then Enron came to the door and asked, "mother, are you sleeping?"


    Lin''s mother quickly replied, "no, please come in."


    Then Enron pushed the door in. He was still with some cold, leisurely quickly pulled him to the brazier, "it''s very cold outside, isn''t it? Heat up. How can I go out without a thicker dress? "


    Enron rubbed his hands and said, "when I went to my uncle''s house, it was the warmest time in the afternoon. I didn''t expect to come back so late. Sister, when did you come back? "


    Leisurely said, "I pasted Huizi couplet in the house in Tonghua lane. It was dark when I came back. You came just in time. The princess thought that I didn''t have time to make clothes for you, so she asked someone to make a robe for you. You just have a try With that, he took out a royal blue pigment face brocade cotton robe and gave it to Enron for a try. Enron''s dress is just right, that is, the sleeves are slightly long. "Tomorrow I''ll put the sleeves in for you."


    Lin''s mother quickly stopped, "if you have that Kung Fu, you''d better hurry to embroider. There are several people in this family. Do you only accept clothes? The princess not only thinks highly of you, but also thinks for you everywhere. Even our family''s clothes have been made. You don''t have to worry about our internal and external affairs. You can''t do a good job for others? "


    Leisurely smell speech, helplessly say "this is to take short hands, a few days ago also let me more rest.". OK, I''ll listen to my mother and do it a few days ago. "


    Lin Mu Fang said with a smile, "it''s only a few days before Chinese New Year. You''ll have to work hard for a few more days. After the new year, you can''t move your needle and thread before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and then you can have a rest. "


    Mother and son said some gossip, and Fang went back to his room to have a rest.


    The next morning, after breakfast. Leisurely called the grass to the front, "I see you made new clothes for the new year a few days ago. It''s hard to say that you''re not very old, but you do a good job in needlework. I think you''re a little better than your mother. "


    Fang Cao replied, "it seems that because the maidservant''s mother is old and young, she has not practiced needlework in her mother''s home. Later, when she married my father, because she was good at cooking, she always asked her to help her cook at any happy event in the nearby village. She could get a lot of copper money and a lot of meat, so she didn''t choose her. The maid''s sewing is still taught by Mammy. "


    Leisurely nod "did not expect you will also make your mother''s things so clear." Then he handed her a piece of red cotton cloth with a smile. "You saw that little sister yesterday. She will come to our house to be your companion in two days. She doesn''t have new clothes like that. You should work hard and make her a cotton padded jacket and trousers as soon as possible. If you want to make clothes for her, you don''t need to embroider any patterns. Just be simple and generous. Do you have any cotton for your clothes last time? No, I''ll get you some more. "


    Fang Cao nodded quickly, "there are many more. I''ll do it for her. Some time ago, the maid''s mother made two inner garments for me, and another one I didn''t wear. It''s just the same for her. "


    After hearing this, he nodded with a leisurely smile, "OK, you are a sensible man. There''s a lot to do at the end of the year. After the new year, I''ll give you another piece of good material to wear. "


    Fang Cao said with a smile, "it''s not necessary. I just made a new dress before I went to the Marquis''s house with the girl. To that house, sister Huaping and sister Feixu gave me two clothes. I have no shortage of clothes now Leisurely smile and say, "OK, what they give is theirs, what I give is mine. No, it''s said that my servant girl will be supported by others. " Grass told thanks, promised to go out. When she came to the yard, she happened to meet her mother, sister-in-law Liu. Seeing that she was in a hurry, sister-in-law Liu said, "how many times have I told you? If you want to be more stable, how can you be so impetuous? " Fang Cao said the matter with a smile, and sister-in-law Liu said, "since it''s the lady who has something to tell you, you can do it quickly. At the root of this year, there are many things to do. Come and give me a hand when you finish earlier. " Then he went to the kitchen to work.


    Here leisurely just picked up the needle to embroider a crane''s feather, he heard a sound in the yard. Then he saw the grass running in and said, "Miss, my uncle''s family is coming. Madam, please come over."


    Leisurely quickly got up, stretched his clothes, and cut his hair in front of the mirror. Fang Cao Zhiji picked up a cloth to cover the embroidery frame.


    When I entered the hall, my aunt, who had just been seated, felt that she was just wearing an apricot yellow thin Satin slanted skirt and an orange red pleated skirt. The hair is slanted and combed in a bun, with a small silver hairpin inserted on it. The hairpin head is a peony flower with exquisite carving. Because of the new year, it also has a delicate pink velvet flower. The whole person is pure and beautiful and refined. It''s not like a girl from such a small family.


    Here leisurely did not have time to bow down, he was suddenly helped up by his aunt, "good boy, we don''t talk about those empty rites." Then he turned to his mother and said, "if you want me to talk about girls, you should be quiet and polite like leisurely and Xiuyun. Like my family, they all have children, and their temperament is still so impetuous. I really don''t know when they will grow up! "


    Before the words were heard, a voice came in from outside the door: "well, mother, you arranged me behind me again."


    Then cousin Xiulan came with her baby in her arms.


    The eldest aunt angrily glanced at her and quickly picked up the child, held it in her arms and gave it a kiss. "I just told you the truth. How can I call you? I''ve become a mother. I can''t even make a good dress. I have to work hard to be a mother. What''s the matter with you


    Xiulan quickly flattered her and said, "mother, I''ll just say something in vain. If you are my mother, you''ll beat me twice. I''m only in vain. Can I revolt? Have you brought me my clothes? I''m waiting to wear that for the new year. "


    "With that, in that bundle." Just finish saying, see Xiulan take that burden to flash into the inner room, can''t help laughing and scolding "this hair wench, when can you change this disposition?"


    Lin''s mother said with a smile, "but I think this temperament is very good. It''s refreshing and spicy. I can eat it anywhere. We don''t have to worry about her being wronged when she gets married. "


    The eldest aunt also laughed, "this is true. I''m not afraid that Xiulan will be wronged. I''m afraid that my son-in-law will be wronged." The whole family began to laugh.

 Chapter 76

    As a result, the uncle''s home is closer to the mountain, and the cousins of the two uncles are all in love with hunting. No, after the college holiday. The brothers agreed to go up the mountain for two days and got back some pheasants, roe deer and a big boar of more than 300 kg.


    There is no need to say more about the danger. Fortunately, I have returned home safely. Although several adults were worried for two days, they were happy to see the game brought back safely. So many things, even if two families are divided, one family can get a lot.


    The first thought of the great aunt was to send some to her daughter. Then she thought that her daughter and her sister-in-law were living in the same village. I don''t want to go to my daughter''s house. I just want to send some game to my sister. As soon as my uncle heard this, he agreed. But at the end of the day, I have to bring a share to my daughter''s home.


    Lin''s mother said politely, "their brothers managed to get some game. You can keep it at home, or you can sell it in the market for some money, but you can send us some."


    My aunt said with a smile, "don''t you know the filial piety of your nephews? Besides, our family has been able to live well in recent years. It''s not bad for the money. But it''s you. Last time, why did someone bring such a large bag of Chi tou? I think it''s all made of excellent materials. I''m afraid it''s worth a lot of money? " Lin''s mother said, "it''s not that. Some time ago, Mrs. Shen lived in Hou''s residence. After a meeting, the master and servant went to give Mrs. Shen some birthday gifts. Mrs. Shen stayed in the residence for some time, and gave her a lot of clothes and materials when she came back. There are only a few people in my family. I can''t wear them all for a while. It''s just the new year''s day. Why don''t I give them to everyone. It''s too easy to put it there. "


    My aunt tut tut said, "if such a good material is stored well, it will be OK to put it for decades. Which can easily cover bad? You should keep it for yourself and save two years to get married leisurely, get married safely and spend money again. "


    Lin''s mother waved her hand with a smile and said in a low voice, "to be honest with my sister-in-law, I have better one. When the second child gets married, I''ll give you a piece of fine brocade as a bride''s gift for the new daughter-in-law." The eldest aunt quickly refused, "if you have that good thing, just keep it for their sister and brother. What can you do for him?" Lin Mu smiles.


    Just as she was talking, she saw Xiulan turn out of the inner room, pull her skirt and say, "how about it? Does this dress look good? "


    When they looked at it, they saw that Xiulan was wearing a big red cotton padded jacket with a peony pattern and a pomegranate red horse face skirt. Duandi is a shining and bright thing. When they saw it, they kept praising.


    Xiulan slightly raised her skirt and said, "mother, when did you make such a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes for me?"


    My aunt laughed and scolded, "how can I make such exquisite shoes for you? This is what your sister made for you. Thank you for your sister."


    Smell speech, Xiulan quickly turned to show cloud gave a gift, way "so, I will thank my sister." Xiuyun quickly got up to avoid the ceremony. "When did my sister be so polite, I was not used to it." Xiulan suddenly changed back to the original, and then said, "you girl, you have learned to tease people. If you do this again, I won''t help you to find your mother-in-law''s family in the future. "


    On hearing this, Xiuyun suddenly blushed, and quickly went to the big aunt''s side to find comfort, "Auntie, look at my sister, you always want to bully me." My aunt comforted me in a soft voice, "good boy, I love you and ignore your sister. We won''t help her make clothes any more."


    After hearing this, Xiulan immediately said with her face across her shoulder, "Oh, it''s not good. You girls get along well. I''m sorry that no one wants me." Everyone laughed. Mother Lin waved to her and said, "come to my aunt. She loves you."


    Then Xiulan ran to mother Lin and said, "aunt is the best."


    After listening to this, my aunt turned her lips and said, "you are so sweet that I can''t see how you are filial to your aunt. Say, your sister Xiuyun has made clothes for your aunt. By the way, Xiuyun, take out your clothes and show them to your aunt. " Then, Xiuyun will take out a green package of pine flowers and show you the clothes one by one. I saw a dark red cotton padded jacket with plum blossom pattern, a plain horse face skirt of the same color, and a pair of black shoes embroidered with plum blossom pattern. The cotton padded jacket was inlaid with a wide edge of plum blossom embroidered in bright red. It took a lot of effort to see it. Lin''s mother praised him as she watched, "you child, the embroidery is getting better and better. Just how much time does it take to make such a suit? How can our wives care about these things? "


    The aunt on the side said, "this is also the child''s heart. Just accept it as an aunt. Having said most of the day''s words, I forgot to say the great joy. The second younger brother and sister were pregnant for more than two months. Because they didn''t pay attention to it earlier, they were tired and had some problems. It turns out that she wanted to thank you in person, so I asked my second brother to look after her at home instead of her. "


    Lin''s mother was surprised and said, "are you pregnant again? It''s really a great joy. I''m not here anywhere else. Why don''t you thank me? That''s not true


    The eldest aunt said, "it''s reasonable to say that one family doesn''t talk about two families, but Xiuyun, if she hadn''t been carefully taught by you, she couldn''t have such excellent embroidery work. Now Shan Xiuyun gets three or four taels of silver every month when he does embroidery work. At what age today, there are many families rushing to ask for marriage. Second younger brothers and sisters are not easy to live. Thank you. Even the second younger brother and sister can get half and half of their monthly work, and the second younger brother will quit the work of accounting. A school was set up in the ancestral hall of the village to teach the children in several nearby villages to read and read. Although they got less money, they also got a lot of firewood, rice, oil and salt every month, and they were able to take care of their families nearby. They were very pleased with their second younger brother and sister. That day, Xuan Ge''er was naughty and broke the water tank at home with a slingshot. Angry she and I said, would like to Xuan Ge''er back to the stomach, regeneration of a sensible and caring daughter out Li''s mother said with a smile, "boys are used to mischievous. It''s better to be older. Angel is looking better now. A few years ago, he went up the mountain and down the river all the time


    This let sit in the side of Lin Xiucai is very dissatisfied, not from the dark cough a few. When they saw that the scholar was angry, they all laughed to themselves. I also know that he has no face, though I don''t make fun of him any more.


    Xiuyun pointed to a pair of rose red embroidered orchid shoes and said, "these shoes are for cousin leisurely."


    When I heard that I had my own gift, leisurely was also very happy. "Thank you, sister. I just got a rose red coat to match the shoes. Go, sister, and play in my room. " Then he took Xiuyun''s hand and asked Xiulan, "cousin, are you here or go to my house?"


    Xiulan waved her hand and said, "you little girls, go to play. As a child, my mother can''t talk with you." So they came out laughing.

 Chapter 77

    When I got to my house, I leisurely asked Fang Cao to make a pot of tea, and then I took out a box of eight treasures in the style of Begonia flower. "This is the dim sum they sent me a few days ago. There are only two boxes in all, and no one can share it. Your aunt and I are the only one. It''s made in-house. You can''t eat it at leisure. Try it. "


    Xiuyun fixed his eyes and saw that there were many kinds of snacks in the box, all of which were delicately made. So, he reached out and twisted a piece of Begonia crisp to taste. Inside the crisp skin is the sweet and salty bean paste stuffing, which is soft outside and crisp inside. If it''s really delicious, Xiuyun thinks it''s the best snack he''s ever had.


    She is as lovely as a little pine tree when you see her enjoying. Leisurely can not help but smile, and pointed to another coconut juice sweet scented osmanthus cake, said, "you try this, although sweet scented osmanthus cake is common, but it added coconut juice, has a special milk fragrance, has a unique taste."


    Xiuyun picked up a piece and tasted it. It melted in the mouth. It had the fragrance of milk and sweet scented osmanthus. It was really delicious. Can''t help nodding "this is delicious, refreshing, not greasy at all. Cousin, you just said, "this is made of coconut juice. What is coconut juice?"


    Leisurely replied, "coconut juice is a kind of fruit juice called coconut. Coconut is a kind of plant only growing on the southernmost island. This kind of fruit can be as big as a ball. It''s mostly juicy, just a little bit of flesh. Because it''s too far away from us, it''s not easy to transport, and people can''t eat it at leisure. Only in the palace will they be used for snacks. "


    Xiuyun took another piece of "then I''ll have another piece. I can''t have such a snack in my spare time. Today, I''m also stained with my cousin''s light."


    Leisurely said, "if you like this flavor, I will exchange two coconuts for you later." Xiuyun''s eyes lit up, "cousin, do you mean what you say?"


    Leisurely angry at her one eye, "that''s natural, only this thing is not common, can only be a chance, time is not necessarily." Xiuyun replied, "it''s OK. If I can taste one bite in my life, I will be satisfied."


    "Don''t worry, it won''t keep you waiting all your life." Leisurely smile. After a while, Fangcao brought a pot of black tea and some snacks. Leisurely stuffed her with a handful of melon seeds and said, "go to the kitchen and help your mother. You don''t have to wait here."


    The two sisters talked about what they had seen and heard in the boudoir. Xiuyun knew that her cousin was very popular. Took the opportunity to take out a purse to ask for advice, leisurely pointed her a few. In my heart, I sigh that the ancients really can''t be underestimated. How old is this cousin now? Yu nvhong has already had a lot of insight and strength all the way. If she didn''t rely on the accumulation of two generations of knowledge, she would not be able to compete with others in terms of talent alone.


    Lin''s mother naturally prepared a big lunch for her mother''s family, but the whole family was very busy. After dinner, I made a brief talk. The uncle''s family is going to leave and go back. Because the mountain road is not easy to walk, the Lin family''s mother and son are not staying in vain. Lin''s mother packed two portions of the mutton from the eldest brother''s family to the eldest brother''s and the second brother''s family, and Mrs. Shen sorted out some of the jujube, medlar and other things for them. He also took out a small bundle and stuffed it to Xiuyun. "Good boy, it''s hard for you to think of making clothes for your aunt. There''s a piece of material in it for you to keep. When spring comes, you can make your own clothes."


    Xiuyun quickly rebuffed, "last time I got a piece of pomegranate red cotton padded jacket from my aunt. It''s not good to ask for it again."


    The eldest aunt said, "since your aunt gave it to you, you can keep it." Leisurely also in the side exhort, show cloud this just received.


    A family will send guests to the village, Xiulan also holding the child back to their own home, leisurely and others go home on their own.


    And said that after returning to their own village, two big aunts will first Xiuyun to the door. Uncle Lin helped to unload the things that his mother had given him. When he heard the news, uncle Lin quickly came out and went on. Seeing that my brother and sister-in-law were busy inviting them in for tea, my aunt said with a smile, "another day, when I left in the morning, my brother-in-law and daughter-in-law met. I''m afraid the meeting has already been made. I have to go back and have a look." With that, uncle Lin drove away in an ox cart. Father and daughter both move things to the main room. Xiuyun goes into the inner room and asks the mother lying on the bed, "mother, are you better today?"


    The second aunt said with a smile, "originally, it was nothing serious. Your father took the doctor''s words as an imperial edict and insisted that I lay on the bed. After lying for two days, I felt numb." Then she saw a goose yellow yarn flower beside her temples and asked, "the yarn flower on your head is quite unique, and it was given by your cousin?"


    Xiuyun nodded. "My cousin gave me two, one is yellow and the other is pink. I said I would give this yellow to my mother. My cousin said these two colors are not suitable for me, and gave me a lake blue one. The color is elegant, but it''s just taking advantage of my mother. "


    The second aunt said angrily, "how old are you? What else do you wear? It''s not funny. You''d better keep it. " Xiuyun didn''t listen and put the flowers directly on her mother''s head. Then she took the bronze mirror to show her, "look, how beautiful? Why not? Aunt Wang next door is in her forties and wears red silk flowers all day. Mother, you are much younger and more beautiful than her


    Uncle Lin came in from the outside and said, "what are you two muttering about?" The second aunt quickly took the yarn flowers off her head and put them under the pillow. Then she said, "I didn''t say anything. I''m praising the beautiful yarn flowers that her cousin gave Xiuyun."


    Then uncle Lin noticed the gauze on his daughter''s head and nodded, "it''s mainly because my daughter is handsome and looks good wearing anything. That''s up to me. "


    The second aunt angrily glanced at him, "it''s narcissistic. What are you doing outside?" Uncle Lin Fang said, "no, my sister''s family has given me a lot of gifts. There are a large piece of cooked mutton, some stewed chicken claws, some longan, red dates, and two packets of brown sugar. I don''t think you need to buy brown sugar when you are in confinement..." at this time, Xiuyun suddenly remembered the burden that his aunt had put on him, and hurriedly went to the table outside to take the burden in.


    Seeing that the burden didn''t look like her own, the second aunt asked, "whose burden is this?" Xiuyun disassembled and said, "it''s my aunt who gave it to me. She said it''s for me to wear spring clothes after the Spring Festival." Then open the package, there is a piece of pink plain satin and a piece of bright red gauze, which can be used to make two clothes.


    Uncle Lin and his wife looked at each other, but they were all helpless. They wanted to send a favor, but they didn''t expect that they would give such a thick gift back.


    Looking at her daughter''s confused smile, the second aunt thought of the past. In the past, she also thought of her sister-in-law''s kindness and her nephew''s courtesy. It would be best if she could be more intimate. Who would have thought that since the niece came back, the days of her sister-in-law''s family would be more prosperous. A few days ago, I heard from Xiulan that her family had bought a three-way house in the capital. She was ready to live in the future. It''s said that it costs 800 taels of silver just to buy a house. And his own family is nothing more than a hundred taels of silver. If we mention it again, it will be embarrassing. Ah, if I had been in a hurry to settle this matter two years ago, I would not have been so disappointed now.

 Chapter 78

    These thoughts of the second aunt were only thought too much in her heart, and even uncle Lin did not mention them. As a result, no outsider knows that now the gap between the two families is growing, so she rotted it in her own stomach. I just wait for the little one in my stomach to come out and find a good marriage for my daughter.


    Here leisurely is in the heart, dark Fei also see 28, that small leaf how hasn''t come yet? There''s no accident, is there? Just that day, when the Lin family was about to have dinner, he came with little leaves.


    Leisurely didn''t expect Shen Ze to come here in person. He hurriedly welcomed him to the yard. "Mr. Shen doesn''t care to send that servant to come here. Why did he come here by himself?"


    Shen Ze first saluted Lin''s mother, and Fang said with a smile, "I originally said that I would bring Xiao Ye safely. Naturally, I was relieved to turn the person upside down myself. Besides, thanks to the girl, the business of my shop is really good these days. Now that we''re at the end of the new year, we don''t want to send some new year''s goods. It''s a bit of an idea. " Then he asked the fellow to carry all the things.


    Lin Enron came out of his room and said, "brother Shen, are you here?" Then he welcomed Shen Ze to the hall to talk.


    Over there, leisurely saw that although the clothes on Xiaoye were a little fat, they were still warm and thick, and asked, "did you wipe your hand cream yourself? Is the frostbite on your hand better? "


    "Little leaf nodded," back to the girl''s words, are on time to wipe, now has been a lot better Then he raised his hands to leisurely look. Leisurely see that hand or some cyanosis, but chilblain looks much better. So nodded and said, "I have better use of oil, the most effective treatment of chilblain, later let the grass to you."


    Then he beckoned Fangcao to come. "This is Fangcao. Although she is one year younger than you, she came early. Later, you will listen to her arrangement and let her teach you some rules when you have time." Then he said to Fang Cao, "you will be in charge of her. If she doesn''t do well, I will only ask you for responsibility. Now the frostbite on her hand is not good, you first arrange some work that she doesn''t need to touch the water. Well, first you take her to change into new clothes, and then you take some karaoke oil and put it on her


    Leisurely is also afraid that Mrs. Liu''s mother and daughter will get together to bully Xiaoye after a long time, so she lets Fangcao clean up the utility room in the main room, which used to contain some old furniture. Leisurely let old Liu head with brick yellow mud base for a while, and put on two old door, is two simple single bed. It''s right next to the stove of life, but it''s warmer than the house in Fangyuan grassland. I just live here, and I will get up every night to fill coal briquettes.


    Fang Cao took Xiao Ye to the hut, pointed to the bed near the south wall and said, "you can sleep in this bed. This bed is close to the fire. It''s warmer." Then he picked up a suit of clothes at the head of the bed and was about to give it to her, but he remembered something and asked, "don''t you have lice on you? If so, just say, I''ll give you some medicine. "


    Xiao Ye Zi shook his head. "No, boss Shen found a Mammy to help me see it." Fang Cao said with a sigh of relief, "that''s good. This is the new dress that Miss asked me to make for you. Do you want to see if it fits?" Seeing that the dress was made of fine cotton cloth, Xiao ye asked, "is such a good dress for me?"


    The grass nodded. "Of course, it''s the material and cotton given by the lady. It''s specially made for you. My mother and I have both. " Little leaf took the clothes, some choked and said, "I haven''t worn new clothes for many years."


    Smell speech, grass patted her on the shoulder, "don''t worry, madam and miss are kind, you just work hard, not only have new clothes, new shoes, there will be monthly money.". Come on, get dressed. We''re going to work. You try this body first. If there is anything that doesn''t fit, I''ll change it for you. "


    Little leaf tried, a little bit fat. Fang Cao said, "I didn''t expect you to be so thin. I''ll help you change it when I come back at night." "No, I''ll do it myself. I can do some simple needlework." So the grass nodded, "your clothes are too big." After that, he took out a cotton padded jacket from a cupboard at the head of the bed and said, "this is a dress I got when I went out with the young lady a while ago. It''s a little small for me. If you don''t like it, you can take it to wear." Xiaoye said quickly, "I didn''t even dare to think about such a good dress before. How can I dislike it? This is also an old dress given to me by the mother of boss Shen''s family. I''ll change it before I can change it. " When she changed her clothes, Fangcao was still stunned when she saw the frostbite on her arms and feet. "My God, are you so cold? Don''t move. I''ll put some oil on it for you Not only the hands and feet, but also the chilblains on Xiaoye''s arms, legs and shoulders, and some red marks on her back. A box of karaoke oil was used up all at once, even not enough. "Little leaf said," that mammy helped me pound some cactus leaves and applied them twice. It''s better


    Fang Cao saw her shivering and said, "unfortunately, we don''t have cactus in our family. You put on your clothes and wait for me to ask the young lady if there is any folk prescription. The young lady knows a lot. " Xiaoyezi wanted to say that she didn''t need to trouble miss, but Fangcao has gone far.


    After going out for a while, she came back with a box of plasters in her hand and said, "the lady really knows. She said that she would heat the juice with fresh ginger and apply it on chilblain twice a day. It would take effect in three days. But you just put on the oil. You''d better wait until you go to bed at night. Miss also gave you this half box of Shu scar cream, said that after you have finished frostbite, you can apply it again, and there will be no scar left. Put it away and let''s go out to work. By the way, you haven''t met your wife yet. I''ll show you there. "


    Fangcao leads Xiaoye to see Lin Mu. Lin Mu''s heart softens when she sees her skin and bones. "I''ve heard all about you. I''ll just rest assured in this family. As long as you work hard, our family won''t abuse servants. Go ahead, Haosheng, and learn from your sister Fangcao. "


    Hearing this, Fangcao chuckled. Lin Mu was puzzled. "What are you laughing at, girl?"


    Fang Cao replied, "if you go back to your wife, Xiao Ye is eleven years old. She is older than the slave girl. She has to call her sister."


    After hearing this, Lin''s mother looked at Xiao Ye more pitifully. "I''m sorry to see that she looks so thin, just like an eight or nine year old child. You''ll eat more meat in the future to make up for it. "

 Chapter 79

    Fang Cao takes her to see you ran again. You ran is cutting the window flowers in the house. People come and go at the end of the new year, and she can''t settle down to do embroidery, so she simply does something else.


    See small leaf changed a suit of clothes that fit, appear a few spirit. Seeing that her hair was tied with only two faded red ropes, she found out two silk tapers and a pair of red silk flowers from her box and handed them to her, "it''s better to wear something fresh for the new year." Then he took another pair and gave it to Fangcao. "I remember that day I gave you a pair of apricot yellow ones, and then I gave you a pair of big red ones, right?" The grass thanks and Fang reaches for it.


    Small leaf see grass salute action is very good-looking, also followed a salute "thank you miss."


    Leisurely see her mind delicate, in the heart secretly praised a. Then he asked, "who gave you your name? The name of Xiaoye is not very solemn. I want to change it for you. What do you think? "


    Xiaoye said, "I remember when my mother was there, she called me" Ye Er ". Later, she became Xiaoye after she had a stepmother."


    "So it is. Do you remember your mother''s last name?" Leisurely asked again. Xiaoye said, "remember, my mother''s surname is Liu, which is the willow of the willow tree."


    This child is really a bit of predestined relationship with himself. He used to be called Qingliu, but her mother''s surname was Liu. This surname is not a common surname. It seems that they may have been related in previous lives.


    Leisurely said, "in that case, you''ll call it willow leaf in the future. It''s to commemorate your mother''s birth." Little leaf some dull, grass poked her "you want to say that, look at me." Then he saluted and said, "thank you for your name."


    Xiaoye did it again. Although it was a little rough, it was a kind of model.


    Originally, the family was about to eat, but Shen Ze and Xiao Ye delayed their arrival. Because of the guests, Mrs. Liu had to add a few more dishes.


    Enron accompanies Shen Ze to have a meal in the hall. He also goes to shout uncle Lin and his elder brother to accompany him. Lin Mu is eating in the house of leisurely. During the meal, Liu Sao, who brought the dishes, was specially instructed to "give the child some meat and vegetables to eat. Look at her thin skin and bones. It''s very pitiful."


    Mrs. Liu promised to go out, but she was stopped by leisurely, "she is so hungry for a long time, but it''s not suitable to eat fish and meat all at once. These two days, first drink some rice porridge, soup class, and then eat less food. It''s better to eat less and eat more than to be full all at once. " Mrs. Liu said with a smile, "don''t worry, miss. I understand."


    Lin''s mother patted her forehead and said, "look at my brain, I almost did something wrong with my good intentions. Just want to let her grow some meat, forget that she is a long hungry person


    Leisurely side scooped a bowl of fish ball soup in front of his mother, while saying, "it''s too much at the end of this new year''s day, the mother is too tired."


    Lin''s mother waved her hand. "In the past years, I was the only one to clean up the things inside and outside the house, and I didn''t think it was any trouble. Most of this year''s work has been done by sister-in-law Liu. I''m just sitting in the room talking with others and drinking some tea, and I feel very tired. In a word, there are quite a few people walking around our house this year. Many people didn''t want to deal with us before. "


    Leisurely said, "now, my younger brother is a scholar. Naturally, it is different from previous years." Mrs. Lin said, "now many people are asking about your marriage. I know you have an idea, so I want to know what kind of idea you have in mind. "


    After a leisurely thought, he said, "to tell you the truth, I''ve been in Hou''s residence for so many years. Although I''m not rich in clothes and food, I haven''t missed anything. Now when I come home, my family is thriving. I don''t want to get married to a big family, but my family needs to be rich. At least the family background of the other family can''t be worse than ours, can''t it? Then the character of nature can''t be too bad, can''t be that kind of glib. My brother is still a scholar. He must be a child at least. Then the future mother-in-law must be kind. Mother knows that when she becomes someone''s daughter-in-law, she spends more time with her mother-in-law than her husband. If her mother-in-law is difficult and unreasonable, she will have a hard time. Another, the only son who lost his father didn''t marry. For the time being, that''s all¡° You are not at all vague. " Lin''s mother said in a daze. After listening to leisurely''s words, Mrs. Lin thought about the families that recently showed their intention to marry. She found that there was no one left.


    Seeing Lin Mu''s melancholy, she said with a leisurely smile, "mother is so anxious to marry me out? Even though I''m not very old, my cousins haven''t said goodbye yet. "


    Lin''s mother said with a smile, "I''m not willing to let you get married early, but I just want to have a suitable first look. When it''s time to save, I''ll let you choose a good guy. Until next year, if your brother can be admitted to Ju Ren, it''s not too late to say that. Come on, let''s eat. Don''t get cold. "


    In the hall, after using some wine and vegetables, Shen zeliao got up and said, "because there are still some important things in the body, I won''t bother here any more. I''ll come back to talk about the past some other day." Then he took out a small brocade box and handed it to Enron, saying, "this is an idea that Mrs. Hou asked me to bring to Lingjie. I almost forgot it. Please give it to Lingjie." Enron agreed to take it into his arms and sent Shen Ze to the door with uncle and others. Seeing Shen Ze go far in the carriage, he came back.


    When the mother and daughter came out to see, Shen Ze had already gone far away. Lin''s mother asked, "how did Mr. Shen leave so soon?"


    Enron said, "brother Shen said that he still had some important things to deal with. He ate some food in a hurry and left." Then he took out the brocade box from his arms and handed it to you. "This is from elder brother Shen. He said that Mrs. Hou gave it to you. Let me give it to you."


    Leisurely, seeing the brocade box, you have an intuition. It doesn''t look like Han''s handwriting. However, there are still uncle and others present. It''s not easy to check the inside face to face. He just pretends to be indifferent and receives it.


    Although the guest left, Enron still invited his uncle and cousin to sit in the room again and began to drink again. Leisurely back to his room, let grass and willow leaves to remove the table down. Then close the door, the box is very light, open, only to see inside is a set of polished delicate smooth embroidery needle, the workmanship is no worse than the set given by fangxinsu. Leisurely see that there seems to be something bulging under the box of flannelette, he took the flannelette away and took out two pieces of paper from inside. When you look at it again, leisurely, you suddenly find that there is a silver note of one thousand Liang and another letter.


    The letter was written by Shen Ze. It said that leisurely''s last two pots of orchids helped his friend a lot. His friend was not bad for money, and gave him two thousand taels of silver at once. Although money and silk move people''s hearts, a gentleman does not take ill gotten gains. The orchid was picked leisurely, and the silver naturally belonged to her. In addition, I saw the golden osmanthus that she embroidered in Mrs. Shen''s yard, and I really appreciate it. I heard that she has a lot of talent along the way with nvhong. Just a few years ago, she got this set of embroidery needles made by Yin Bo, a famous craftsman in the south, and gave it to Youran, who is also the Pearl of the province. Finally, Shen Zhicheng signed the contract.


    I think the most sincere should be Shen Ze''s word, but he Baba told me his own words. Why? There''s no misunderstanding. Leisurely suddenly a little annoyed, got up and put the letter and the banknote back into the box, and then stuffed it under the box.


    She got up and sat down cross legged on the Kang, and then picked up a piece of red paper to prepare to continue to cut the window, but this heart is always calm, originally wanted to cut a carp to hold the blessing, finally did not know what to cut. Just at this time, the yard thought of the voice of Yulian and tingran talking to mother Lin.

 Chapter 80

    Leisurely quickly put the paper under the quilt, put on his shoes and went out, laughing and saying, "sister Yulian, sister tingran, here you are! Come and sit in my room


    Three people accompanied to leisurely room, tingran said with a smile, "you stinky girl, we don''t come to you, you are used to not go to us. It''s not boring to stay at home all day. How long has it been? Your embroidery hasn''t finished yet? "


    Leisurely smile "how can it be so fast? It''s been embroidered for more than half of the year. After the new year''s end, it will be more than two months. " She didn''t show her embroidery to outsiders. Although tingran and others are curious, they all shut up when they see that she doesn''t want to talk more about it. It''s said that tingran''s temperament is difficult to hold back, but the eldest aunt told her early in the morning that the cousin''s work must be for the noble people in the Marquis''s mansion. Those noble people act differently from other people, and they don''t want their own things to be judged by the common people. Let tingran do not ask more, save to leisurely add trouble. Tingran although some delicate, but always listen to the mother''s instruction, so it also saves a lot of leisurely tongue.


    Because he didn''t do embroidery, leisurely let him put out the two charcoal stoves in his room, only burning Kang. She took off her shoes, sat down on the Kang and said, "let''s all sit on the Kang. It''s warmer here. I''m cutting the window pattern. You can see what you like. Choose some of them yourself


    They both took off their shoes and climbed onto the Kang to see the window¡° Oh, this is a very good cut of carp. This one is for me¡° I like this picture of Begonia. " For a time, it was very lively.


    In the twinkling of an eye, it is new year''s Eve. The door god and couplet have been changed in the family. A new peach blossom charm has been added and a red lantern has been hung. From the inside to the outside, the family looks brand new.


    At this time, the most important custom of Chinese New Year is ancestor worship. Early in the morning, all the adult males of the clan gather at the entrance of the village. The elders of the clan take them with them, decorate an arch of the village entrance with branches of pine and cypress, paste couplets, and set off firecrackers at the beginning of the dark, in order to "invite the ancestral temple". That is to say, to invite the family''s ancestors home for the new year.


    Then every family should take good wine and food to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors and kowtow. In addition to these, there are also the kitchen god and other immortals in the family who all want to worship. In the previous life, leisurely didn''t believe these things at all. But since her inexplicable crossing, she has a little more awe for ghosts and gods, and kowtows to incense after Lin''s mother.


    After all the work, the whole family sat down to eat and drink. Looking at the children around her, Mrs. Lin said with relief, "I''ve been looking forward to this day for a long time. Now, our family can finally spend the new year together. I''m very happy. Come on, let''s have a drink. " Xu is really happy. Lin''s mother, who usually doesn''t drink much, drank several cups this evening, and finally turned a little red.


    Seeing this, the two children did not let her drink, leisurely let the willow leaf soak a cup of honey water, and handed it to mother Lin to watch and let her drink. After a while, they ate some fruit to make it better.


    When they had almost finished eating, they asked Mrs. Liu to clean up the banquet table and put some melon seeds and fruits on it. Liu sister-in-law and they all tidied up the table neatly. A large family and willow leaves all came, knelt down in a row and said, "little ones, I wish you all the best in the new year."


    Lin''s mother said with a smile, let them get up and share the red envelope one by one. Then he said, "you don''t have to stay here for the new year. Go back to your house and watch the new year." Willow leaves stand there and don''t know how to get there. They are dragged by the grass and go out with them.


    Come these days, the grass every day with leisurely said folk prescription to willow leaf wipe, now her frostbite is almost good. Although there are still some red and purple, but no longer swollen as severe, the face also gradually plump up. These days are the best she has ever lived since her mother left. Warm house, thick clothes, delicious food, everything is so dreamy and real. She vowed to keep the kindness of the young lady in mind for the rest of her life.


    Mother and son were all drinking tea and chatting around Lin Mu''s Kang. In the middle of the night, both sister and brother were in a bit of a predicament, and gradually fell on the Kang. Lin''s mother didn''t get away with them. She just took the quilt to help them cover. He leaned against the Kang and squinted for a while. When the sleeping fan was staring, someone outside had already started to set off firecrackers, and then the crackle of firecrackers became more and more intense. Lin''s mother suddenly woke up and asked her sister and brother to go to her room and change into a new dress. But he kowtowed to the incense table in the courtyard first and didn''t mention it.


    The younger brother and sister soon changed their new clothes and came out to greet Lin''s mother. Mrs. Lin started laughing and gave each of them a big red purse. Leisurely swept the usual low-key, today she specially wore a pair of long jacket with vermilion embroidered broken branches Magnolia and a pomegranate red pleated skirt made by Fang Xinsu. Because it was early in the morning, the coldest time of the day, and it was covered with the brocade cloak inlaid with chinchilla hair. On his head, he wore a gold silk flower and Pearl style step rocking and two small hairpins with green spots. On his ears, he wore a pair of red gold silk lantern earrings, and on his hands, he wore a pair of red gold bracelets inlaid with colorful tourmaline. Under the light, the colorful beads just hang down on the leisurely ear, which makes her more beautiful.


    At first sight, Lin''s mother didn''t dare to believe that the lady who seemed to come out of the painting was her daughter. I can''t help feeling my daughter''s head and saying, "it''s just the age of flowers that you should dress up so brightly. In the past, you were too plain."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "this dress looks good. It''s really tiring to wear. It''s not too heavy to shake step by step. After wearing it for a while, I feel that my scalp hurts. In the past, when my wife went to the palace to worship, it took her several jin of jewelry to sink, and I don''t know how she managed to last those two or three hours. "


    Lin Mu said with a smile, "in the future, if you have the chance to go, you will know." Leisurely smell speech cover mouth a smile "then borrow mother''s auspicious words, hope that in the future really have such a day." Said, mother and daughter both laughed.


    Seeing that her mother hadn''t had time to dress up, leisurely she pulled her into the room and found a bright dress to help her put it on. She also combed a simple and generous peony bun and helped to insert a pair of gold hairpins and a silver comb. He took the gold bracelet he had brought to mother Lin last time.

 Chapter 81

    Lin''s mother wanted to refuse, but leisurely said, "my mother didn''t say a while ago that we are both old enough to see each other? As the saying goes, "dressing for dinner is a good way to make a living." don''t some old wives in the village say that our family is boasting about buying that house, and that our family is almost out of business? In that case, we''ll show them the truth and see if we can''t open the pot. "


    After hearing this, Lin''s mother said, "I won''t let them talk to you about this. I don''t think you know. That''s what this country woman is like. She has no sense. She''s short-lived all day, but she doesn''t have any malice. "


    Leisurely back to the way "daughter know they have no malice, but our family is not so can let people arrange the family. Mother, don''t forget that the red sandalwood Ruyi given by the Empress Dowager is still in the house next door. These people are so open-minded. I used to think about calming things down and doing things in a low-key way, but sometimes it''s too low-key to make people feel that we are easy to bully. My mother is now the wife in charge of the scholar master''s family. She has a house and land, so there''s no need to be too humble. "


    Think of that day tingran and his whispers, leisurely heart feel there is a fire of nameless burning. Although I didn''t expect to get married to a rich family, I didn''t think that some poor children who had accomplished nothing but were self righteous could think about it.


    Lin''s mother didn''t know what stimulation her daughter had suffered, but she was obviously on fire. So she thought that the village gossip was heard by her, so she said with a smile, "is your knowledge comparable to those ignorant women who have been in the village for half their lives? If you want me to say that I don''t need to see them in the same way, but since you say so, we''ll dress up in a bright and beautiful way and have a lucky new year. "


    Leisurely smile pulled the younger brother "mother how to forget the younger brother, the younger brother is now elegant scholar master, it''s time to straighten out." While talking, he took out a piece of crystal clear jade from his pocket and handed it to Enron. "This is what I got before. It''s not Hetian jade, but it''s also top-grade white jade. It''s carved with slubby flowers, which suits your identity."


    "Thank you, sister," Enron said with a smile Then he put the jade pendant on his waist. Leisurely see my brother wearing a gray blue rabbit hair bordered slant skirt robe and a pair of black leather boots. It is more elegant and elegant.


    After a while, sister-in-law Liu and his father came to ask what they wanted. Lin''s mother heard that almost all her neighbors had set off firecrackers, so she quickly asked old Liu Tou to take the firecrackers he had prepared to set off.


    By this time, the sky was getting brighter. Children can already be heard laughing and playing in the street. Lin''s mother asked her brother and sister leisurely to pay a new year''s visit to their uncle''s house first, and then went to several grandparents in the village with their cousins to pay a new year''s visit.


    The number of people in their family is not small. After a circle, the sky is already bright. The "war robes" of leisurely sister and brother really attracted a lot of envious and envious eyes. However, looking at the gorgeous clothes on the two brothers and sisters, and thinking that there are often carriages from wealthy families coming and going to their homes, most people bury their jealousy in their hearts. On the contrary, they are full of praise and show more respect in their actions. No wonder the ancients said, "first respect Luoyi, then respect people." so it is.


    During the first month of the lunar calendar, it''s natural for relatives to walk around each other. They either go to her house for a walk or treat guests at home. It didn''t stop until after the Lantern Festival.


    Since the 16th of the first month, leisurely began to shut himself in the room and began to live a closed life. After more than two months of hard work, the whole embroidery was finished at the end of February. Then he cleaned up a little, and took the grass to the Houfu by car.


    When the brocade box with embroidery was handed over to Fang Xinsu, leisurely breathed a sigh of relief: "girl, leisurely, I''m lucky to live up to my life."


    Fang Xinsu personally took the brocade box, put it on the table, opened it, and unfolded a roll of yarn slowly. Let two wenches pull, see a group of cranes on the scroll set off in the palace between the white clouds, spread their wings. The crane''s delicate wings, light posture, it is lifelike, vivid. Just at this time, a gust of wind came, slowly blowing through the soft curtain at the door to the embroidery, only to see the shaking, the picture is more like a living general.


    Looking at the back, Rao is Fang Xinsu, who already knows that this is a double-sided embroidery. But still surprised at the smoothness of the back, he sighed, "the crane feathers alone use dozens of silk threads of similar colors. No wonder they are so lifelike!"


    Xiuluo on the edge also said, "when I was in the palace in the past, I had seen many embroideries offered to the palace. But there are few that can be compared with this one. I think the Empress Dowager will like it. "


    Fang Xinsu nodded, "that''s natural. I''m reluctant to part with it."


    Xiuluo said with a smile, "this pattern is really not suitable for the age of the princess. Since the princess likes it, it''s better to have a good gift. Thank you leisurely, and ask her to help her embroider another one. "


    Fang Xinsu took leisurely hand and said, "look how thin she is? For a while and a half, I''m not willing to let her work any more. I still have a "mountain walk" there. Although it''s a little small, I like it most for its elegant colors and lofty artistic conception. What are you all doing standing here? Not even an idea of hospitality, leisurely came for a while, neither tea nor dim sum. No, it makes people think that I''m breaking the bridge. "


    Just as he was talking, the picture screen came in with a tray and asked with a smile, "who does the princess say will cross the river and tear down the bridge?" Xiuluo smiles a little. "It''s my sister''s thoughtfulness. The princess is criticizing that we haven''t served tea and snacks to leisurely. Don''t you know, it''s really because of the wonderful embroidery of leisurely''s sister, we''ve all lost our eyes. This matter, also can only blame leisurely oneself, who let you embroider of so brilliance seize the eye, will our soul all give hook away With that, he personally took the cup and handed it to leisurely hand. "Good sister, after eating this tea, don''t annoy us."


    Leisurely took a sip of the tea and said, "a cup of tea just wants to buy me off. You see me clearly. If there''s anything delicious or funny, take it out quickly. Don''t hide it for your princess. " One sentence made everyone laugh.


    Fang Xinsu arranged for coral to say, "it''s a holiday in school today. I''ll put this embroidery in good condition and send it to brother Jane. Let him find a proper craftsman to mount it. Don''t damage anything. " Coral agreed, carefully holding the box to the front yard.

 Chapter 82

    Coral came to the front yard, personally handed the brocade box to Fang Xinjian, and said what Fang Xinsu said. Fang Xin replied simply, "go back and tell your sister, let her just rest assured. I promise to do this job well. I don''t know what picture is embroidered this time? The two pairs of embroidery that sister Qingliu embroidered last time are extremely exquisite. "


    Finish saying, then want to open to watch, coral hurried forward to help, and another servant girl carefully unfold the scroll together. It happened that Shen Ze, Shen Tao and others were also discussing their lessons here, and they all gathered around for a while. When they saw it, they were amazed. Needless to say, embroidery needles do not need to be said more. Leisurely, it combines the essence of two world skills, sets the strengths of every family, and because it knows words and characters, so there is no trace of artisan spirit and rigidity in embroidered pictures. It''s a little more flexible and elegant than the ordinary imperial embroiderer. Other people are full of praise for embroidery. Only Shen Ze thinks of the embroiderer''s clear eyes. He can''t help thinking how good it would be if his skillful hands could sew clothes and shoes for him one day.


    Fang Xinjian and others finished reading, and called the housekeeper of Fang''s house, solemnly explained the matter.


    After delivering the embroidered scroll here, leisurely had to meet Han, Shen Tian and others. Han''s body has been pregnant for nearly seven months, the stomach has been bulging. Han is very happy to see you ran coming. He is busy ordering people to serve tea and snacks.


    Just just said a few words, Han''s face showed tired feeling. She couldn''t help yawning and said shyly, "I don''t know why, I always feel tired recently. I can''t sleep when I lie in bed. It''s really frustrating. Let the doctor see, also see nothing wrong Shen Tian was also sitting beside him. "Mother always looks like this. It''s really worrying."


    Leisurely said, "you don''t have to worry about it. Maybe it''s because you''re pregnant? Since my wife is not well, let''s have a quick rest. "


    Han nodded, "you are not an outsider, so I will not be polite to you. Didn''t you just say you were going to see three girls? Let sister Tian come with you. I''ll lie down for a while Then he got up from the couch and went to the inner room.


    At the same time, Feixu and Bairui are not in the room. Shen Tian is a little worried about her mother and follows her to serve her. Leisurely, she also enters the inner room. Shen Tian helped her mother to lie down on the bed in the inner room. Seeing this, she quickly came forward to help take off Han''s shoes.


    She just stood up, ready to leave when suddenly smelled a light special aroma. The smell is familiar, but I can''t remember what it is. She turned out of the inner room and saw the catkins coming back, so she asked, "what kind of spices are smoked by the bed curtain of madam? It''s very elegant. "


    Feixu smiles, "are you stupid? My wife always does not love the flavor of those spices, only the natural fragrance of flowers. A few days ago, Mrs. Han, the wife''s sister-in-law, got several pots of flowers from the south. What''s the name of qianlixiang. The flowers are pure and fragrant, which is very popular with my wife. He placed a basin by the bedside. As soon as there is a breeze, the room is full of fragrance. My wife likes it very much. "


    Leisurely suddenly remembered that the fragrance of some flowers was harmful to the fetus, so he pretended to be curious and asked, "what kind of strange flowers are they? I''d like to see you


    Flying catkins pointed to the flowerpot path in the inner room from the gap of the screen, "here, the tree on the windowsill is not a big one, but the flowerpot is exquisite. It''s a different flavor. " Leisurely along the direction of flying catkins fingers to see the past, suddenly surprised!


    She grabbed the arm of catkins and said, "this flower can''t be put in my wife''s bedroom. Take it away quickly." In a moment of urgency, the voice became louder. The mother and daughter who are talking at the head of the bed are shocked. Shen Tian can''t help but frown and come out, "what''s the matter? What''s worth the two of you shouting about? "


    Leisurely said, "if you can trust me, please take away the potted flowers in my wife''s inner room as soon as possible. If I''m not wrong, it''s this potted flower that has caused my wife''s recent abnormal fear. "


    Shen Tian had been aware of her mother''s abnormal body, but because the two potted flowers were sent by her uncle and mother. One pot was placed here and the other in her yard. She never thought that there would be any problem with these two pots of flowers. But it''s very important, she had to be careful, and quickly winked at Feixu. Feixu nodded and went forward to move the potted flower out. For a moment, she didn''t know where to put it. She said leisurely, "if you put it far away from the bedroom, it won''t be a big deal."


    Han had not been asleep, heard these movements also quickly up. Because she didn''t sleep well for many days in a row, her face was very pale. "Tell you the truth, what''s wrong with this flower?" She believes in leisurely. After all, she has grown up with this child.


    "Madam knows that. I have been interested in these flowers since I was a child. When I was a little girl, I often went to the flower house to chat with the master and learned many interesting stories. Later, when I came to my wife''s side, I had the honor to recognize some words, and I saw this kind of flower in a Book of strange flowers. Because the flower shape and color are not very common, so it is in mind. This thyme, in fact, is a kind of nocturnal incense. It likes to blossom in the evening and is not hard to find in the south. Many people like the fragrance of this incense, and put it in the house, but they don''t know that if they smell it too much, it will make people feel short of breath and insomnia. The flower blooms for two or three months. If ordinary people sleep hard for two or three months in a row, I''m afraid they can''t bear it, not to mention pregnant women like my wife? " Han''s original even if the elderly maternal, again on such a encounter. That is to say, the child was able to support the birth. After smelling so many harmful aroma in his mother''s stomach, he was even better.


    Hearing this, Shen Tian opened his eyes and said, "two or three months later, it''s just when my mother gives birth. The flower will also be taken away. What''s wrong with my mother? No one else can find it. It''s really a vicious idea. "


    Han said with a pale face, "it''s definitely not your aunt who did it. She doesn''t have to Shen Tian said, "my aunt said that this flower was filial to the people below, because I haven''t seen it here in the capital. I thought it was strange, so I sent it to my mother. My aunt has always been a proper person. She must have been sent to me after being checked by someone. " Leisurely also nodded: "Mrs. Changping Hou is the wife''s legitimate sister-in-law. I definitely hope that you will have a legitimate son safely, and I will never have any harm to your mind. This matter, also needs the madam and the Han madam to communicate well

 Chapter 83

    What happened later, leisurely is not easy to mix. Later, I only vaguely knew that this matter actually involved aunt Ping, the biological mother of the third son Shen Rong, and an old aunt who came from Tongfang family and several servants of the Marquis''s house in Changping. After a few days, I heard that Aunt Ping suddenly got seriously ill, moved to Zhuangzi, and died within half a month. And Changping Marquis house there, also quietly disposed of several room servants.


    Of course, these are the afterwords. Han just wanted to take this matter to Shen Tian and Fang Xinsu, so he ordered them to assist in the investigation. Leisurely see, then leave. Of course, she did not go directly back to the Lin village, but returned to the house in Tonghua lane.


    Enron will take part in the local examination soon. Unlike in history, the rural examination was held in early April in spring. Linjia village is located in the suburb of Beijing, which is under the jurisdiction of the capital. Therefore, Enron needed to attend the rural examination in Jinghua Academy.


    As early as February, Lin''s mother brought Liu Sao and others to clean up the house and put together several rooms for her son to live in.


    Enron came to live as early as the end of February, along with his classmate Li Wenbo. Classmate for many years, Enron knew that his classmate''s family was not good, and depended on his widowed mother to do some sewing work and a few acres of thin farmland to make a living. It would be a great expense to stay in a hotel with other students in the college.


    Li Wenbo never thought that the Lin family had bought such a house near Jinghua Academy. Although it can''t compare with the big family''s three entering houses, there are more than 20 houses before and after. I can''t help sighing, "you''re a real man. You''re pretending to be a poor writer. You copy books with me. I didn''t expect that your family was so rich."


    Enron grinned bitterly and shook his head. "How can we have so much money in our family? My sister took out the savings she had saved for many years in Hou''s house and sold a lot of jewelry to buy this house. My mother also took out more than 100 taels of silver that she had saved for a long time. Although the house is in my name, I am the only one who didn''t give a cent. I''m really ashamed to think that! "


    After hearing this, Lin Wenbo smacked his tongue to himself. He didn''t expect that a servant girl of the Marquis''s mansion could save this wealth. He was quite envious in his heart.


    Because of the difference between men and women, leisurely took two servant girls to live in the two East rooms of the third entrance, and left the main room for Lin Mu. Enron and xiaoshitou live in the second entrance, while Li Wenbo lives in the guest room in the front yard.


    It happened that the second and third houses were a little farther apart, and the original owners also planted some flowers and trees in them. Now it''s time for spring to melt. It''s also interesting to see the earth return to spring and the white flowers bloom.


    So, after a few days, leisurely thinking about Han''s body, he prepared some gifts and took two servant girls to Shen''s house. Just as it happens, Shen Tian and Fang Xinsu are not in the house. Leisurely, they go directly to Yuehua hospital.


    At this time, Han is already very well, these days eat well, sleep well, the face is also ruddy up. She took a leisurely hand and said, "good boy, thanks to you this time. If not, what will happen to me and the baby in my stomach? "


    Leisurely back to the way, "Ma''am, I''m so flattered. Ma''am is rich in fortune, and there are many well-informed people in this house. I think I can''t see it, and other people will find out sooner or later. "


    Han patted her hand and said, "don''t you know the people in this house? Even if there is something clear in your heart, who can say it like you? Most of them don''t want to be both right and left, and they don''t want to offend anyone? Besides, it''s better to find out earlier. I asked for Zhou Taiyi, who is the best gynecologist. He said that fortunately, he found it early. If I wait a few more days, I will be extremely depressed, and then there will be no way for Daluo immortal. This time, you really saved our lives. There is also the Changping Marquis''s house. Because of your words, many internal thieves were found out and Jin Ge''er was saved again. "


    Smell speech, leisurely is to eat a surprise "Han young master again what matter?" Han shook his head. "The thief was caught before he could act. In a word, thanks to you, we caught the rat that the family had been hiding in our house for many years. If we don''t, in a few years, our Han family will be ruined. "¡° How could it be so serious? " Han nodded, "I''ll tell you that. Please don''t tell anyone else."


    Leisurely nodded, "madam, don''t worry, leisurely know the weight."


    Han said with a smile, "you''ve always been a steady man. I''m naturally relieved. In a few days, it will be the local examination. How''s your brother doing? " Leisurely replied, "I haven''t asked these questions, but my younger brother is the same as before. I can''t see any tension."


    Han said with a smile, "this is the way to be sure. You don''t have to worry too much. This time, no matter whether he is successful or not, I will recommend one of the best seating masters in the world for him. If he is not successful this time, he will be successful next time. Your brother will win the exam sooner or later. "


    Think of Han''s mother''s home, leisurely suddenly calm covered his mouth, "the lady said is, Han Mingbo Han imperial teacher?" This Han imperial master is Han''s elder brother. He was taught by Han''s father because he lost his parents when he was young. Han Mingbo was a brilliant young man. At the age of 11, he was a scholar in the middle school. At the age of 15, he became Lianzhong Sanyuan. He became the first Lianzhong Sanyuan in the Dakang Dynasty and the youngest number one scholar in history.


    He was once suspected of cheating in the imperial examination because he was too young. Later, he used to fight with other ministers in the Wenxuan hall. He quoted classics, knew the past and the present, was knowledgeable and gentle. Finally, he won over many ministers present with his talent and demeanor, and was recruited as a lecturer in the upper study of the Wenhua hall by the late emperor. Later, he became the prince''s junior teacher at that time. Later, he became an official because of illness, and Han Mingbo became the prince again. The original crown prince is now the master of the Forbidden City, and Han Mingbo has become a worthy imperial master.


    In principle, it is very easy for him to find a wonderful job after he ascends the throne. However, after the emperor ascended the throne and stabilized his political power, he resigned from the throne, and then traveled all over the country, inside and outside the Great Wall, exchanging views with the learned people in the world for advice. I stayed out for more than ten years before I came back. After returning, he opened an Academy at the foot of Yangtian mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, which is the Minghe academy as famous as Jinghua Academy.


    Anyone who knows the inside story knows that Han Mingbo''s wife is the only son and Princess of the eldest princess of Dening. Although Princess Jinghe comes from a valuable family, she is also a talented woman who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is gentle and amiable. After marriage, she has been harmonizing with Han imperial master. It''s a pity that Jing and the princess suddenly gave birth prematurely when they were nine months pregnant. At that time, the imperial doctors and imperial doctors in the palace were called to the palace by Yu Guifei, the favorite imperial concubine of the former Emperor.


    And a few wenpo who had been prepared in advance also got inexplicable emergency. Although several experienced mothers in the house helped the princess give birth to a daughter, she died of postpartum hemorrhage.


    Since then, Han Ming Bo, who was only loyal to the emperor, has been gradually inclined to give advice and suggestions for his accession to the throne. He is really a great hero behind the scenes.


    Thinking of the past, Han could not help sighing. When Chu Jing and the princess and the cousin are a perfect couple, it''s a pity that they are so lucky! The royal family is the richest in the world, but it is also the most ruthless!

 Chapter 84

    Even if Han doesn''t say it, leisurely knows that if he can worship such a master, his future will be bright. At the moment, he solemnly saluted and said, "thank you very much, madam!"


    Han quickly helped her up, "it''s just a trivial matter. However, although my cousin is willing to give me a small face and accept Angela as a student, how much instruction Angela can receive depends on himself." Compared with gold and silver, Han knows what leisurely wants most now.


    Hearing the speech leisurely, he nodded and said, "I''m very lucky to be introduced by my wife, but everything depends on him. If he really doesn''t have that ability, he might as well go home and be a cottage man. "


    Han said with a smile, "you''ve always been transparent. As long as your brother has half of your penetrating strength, he can''t be worse. What''s more, I met him twice. It''s really an opportunity and a bit of talent. If you want me to say, your good days will come later. Oh, by the way, I just remember that I haven''t been away from home for a few days. Has your brother found a good place to live? If not, it is feasible for him to live in this house. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "thank you for your kindness. I already have a place to live. In fact, I forgot to tell my wife about one thing. Years ago, my mother asked someone to buy a small house in the north of Guozijian. It''s only a few miles away from the Jinghua academy, so it''s more convenient to send students for exams when they go back. "


    "That''s a good thing! You girl, don''t say it earlier. I can also have a gift sent. " Han was angry at the words.


    "It''s just a small house. What''s worth saying?"


    Just at this time, a servant girl came outside and said, "if you go back to your wife, uncle Shen Ze will come to greet your wife and say that he has brought two baskets of fresh fruits in season."


    Han said with a smile, "what delicious fruit can this Huizi have? Let him come in and talk He also said to leisurely, "you''ve met him. He and your brother are very familiar, so there''s no need to avoid them."


    After a while, Shen Ze, accompanied by his wife, came in. Behind him, several women carried two large baskets on the ground. After he came in, he bowed his head and stood in the middle of the room and saluted "Hello, aunt."


    With a smile, Han asked his mother-in-law to give him a chair. At this time, leisurely got up again to salute him and said, "I''ve met Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen is blessed." Shen Ze didn''t expect to see leisurely here. She went back to the ceremony with a smile. Miss Lin was polite. " After their meeting, Shen Zefang asked, "how''s your aunt feeling recently?" "I feel more energetic recently, and I often go to the garden when I have time," Han said. It''s you. Some days haven''t come. "


    Shen zedao said, "my nephew is busy reviewing his lessons at home recently, but he hasn''t gone out for some days. But my teacher said that if I can''t get a place above Yakui in this local examination, I''m not allowed to go out and say I''m his student. What a shame. "


    Han said with a smile, "my cousin is just like that. Since I''m studying hard at home, how can I come here today? "


    Shen Ze replied, "my family is in the Chuang Tzu village at the foot of Yangtian mountain, although it is not fertile land. But when my mother was there, she planted dozens of cherry trees, which produced good fruit. No, as soon as I picked this stubble, I picked two baskets of good ones to send to my aunt. " Then he opened the lid of the basket and showed it to Han. Han saw that the cherry was bright and translucent. He was reminded of the greedy insects in his stomach. Let the servant girl wash some quickly.


    Han said with a smile, "you child are as thoughtful as leisurely. I''m thinking about one or two fresh fruits to eat. You''re all here. Leisurely brought me a basket of strawberries that she planted herself, and you sent me such a large number of cherries. It can be seen that both of us have good luck. "


    After a while, the maid brings the clean cherries and strawberries. Han asks Shen Ze to bring the strawberries. He and leisurely eat the cherries. Gain has tasted the strawberries just now. Han and Feixu said, "there are so many strawberries in tonggong. They can''t be separated. Send a dish to the Marquis, a dish to the old lady, a dish to Su jie''er and Tian jie''er. If there is any left, give the three girls a dish. There are more cherries. Let''s send some to everyone. " Flying catkins should be under, turn around to order the little girl to do it. Then Han asked about Shen Ze''s recent situation. He heard that the shop''s business was very good, so he nodded, "it''s a good thing that business is booming. If there''s a villain who talks a lot, don''t worry about it. I look down on those poor literati who don''t engage in production themselves, but also point out to others for making money. When a man lives in the world, he needs to support his parents, treat his wife well, raise his children, and get along with his relatives and friends, which one needs money? It''s like they don''t have to dress to eat. Oh, by the way, I remember your shop was opened near the Imperial College. "


    Shen Ze nodded, "if you go back to my aunt, it''s just there." Han clapped his hands and said, "that''s good. You don''t know. Leisurely, the girl''s family bought a house near there years ago. It''s in Tonghua lane. Is it far from your shop?"


    Hearing this, Shen Ze said with a smile, "it''s only three or four Li from my shop, but it''s only two li from my house. My home is in the Zaohua lane to the south of Tonghua lane. "


    Han said with a smile, "so you two are really close to each other. As you know, if they are orphans and widows, you are not allowed to stand idly by. "


    Shen Ze said, "please don''t worry, auntie. I get along well with younger brother Lin, not to mention that younger brother Lin will be my younger martial brother in the future. Even if my aunt doesn''t say that, I will take more care of her. " Han said with a smile, "you are well informed. It seems that your master has mentioned this to you."


    Leisurely quickly stood up and said, "thank you, madam. Thank you, Mr. Shen Gaoyi."


    Shen zebai waved his hand: "Miss Lin, you don''t have to. After the local examination, my younger brother and I will be brothers. They''re all from their own families. There''s no need to be so polite. "


    He said a few more words, and when he saw that it was getting late, he got up and left leisurely. Han said, "now that I''m close, I don''t want to keep you. Just come and play when I have time. How did you get here? "


    Leisurely smile back way "because the family coachman in the countryside old house, so I hired a carriage to come." Han frowned, "it''s so inconvenient. You wait for me to prepare a car for you." Looking at Shen Ze on one side, he said, "brother hengze is on your way. Let him follow you in the back of the car."

 Chapter 85

    Leisurely quickly declined, "thank you, madam. It''s just that Mr. Shen is always busy. How can I trouble him?" Shen Ze said with a smile, "Miss Lin, you don''t have to worry. It happens that Xiaosheng has nothing else to do today." In fact, he had something to do with Marquis Shen, so he spent so long here. But it''s not easy for a fool to get away with such a chance to get close to a beautiful woman.


    Han''s tone "in that case, I will give you leisurely, but I have to send people home."


    Shen Ze quickly clenched his fist and said, "madam, please rest assured, I will do it."


    Before long, a woman came and said, "the carriage is ready." So leisurely he said goodbye to Han and went out through the corner gate.


    Leisurely and grass, willow leaves sitting in the carriage, Shen Ze riding a horse in the back not far not close to follow. All the way there is no extra words, the carriage safely to the door of the Lin family.


    Leisurely got out of the carriage with the help of Fangcao, gave a salute to Shen Ze, and said with a smile, "thank you for your escort. I think my younger brother is at home. I know that Shen Ze will be very welcome when he comes."


    Shen Ze said with a smile, "it''s just a small matter. You don''t have to worry about it. Now is an important time to review my lessons. I won''t go in and disturb your brother. After the rural examination, we have to pay a visit. I have some things to do here, so I won''t disturb the girl. Goodbye With that, he left.


    Watching Shen Ze turn around on horseback, he bit his lip leisurely, and then went home as if nothing had happened. Fangcao sees that something is wrong with her, and she doesn''t know what happened. He took out two bags from his arms and gave them to his wife and coachman. He exchanged greetings with a smile and sent them away politely.


    When he came back, Han ordered people to fill the basket leisurely took with a basket of cherries. Willow leaves will basket to leisurely room, asked "Miss, how to distribute these cherries?"


    Leisurely looked at it and said, "it''s hard to find such cherries at this time of year. It''s a pity that they can''t last forever. Mother can''t eat them. Well, you can wash some and send a plate to each of angel and Mr. Li. Leave a plate for tomorrow, wash the rest and hang it there. Tomorrow I''ll make cherry wine. "


    Because Li Wenbo is a guest, Fangcao brings him a plate of cherries. She said with a smile, "our lady got some cherries today. Let me take a dish and give it to you. Please enjoy it." Then he left. Fresh cherries neatly yard in delicate white plate, more lining bright red. Li Wenbo couldn''t help taking a cherry and filling it in his mouth. He tasted it. It was sweet, tender and juicy. It was really delicious. He couldn''t help eating most of the plate. He has never eaten such delicious fruit, or he seldom eats fresh fruit. In the past, there were fresh fruits at home. They were either sold for money or kept by relatives. They were reluctant to eat at home. At this time of year, even if you have money, you can''t easily buy such fruits. But the Lin family casually took out some to treat the guests. Think of lunch time, small stone once said a miss today went to Houfu. So these cherries must have come from Hou''s house. It seems that the love between Miss Lin and the people of Zhongyi Marquis''s mansion is extraordinary. If I can get on this line, I can''t do it in the future. Enron is good to me, and I can''t do it.


    Li Wenbo shook his head and picked up the book again. He had read it aloud, as if he could get rid of the demons in his heart.


    In Zhongyi Marquis''s house, when he was lighting up, a young man came to deliver a message: "Marquis said that he had something to talk about with Uncle Shen Ze, so he had dinner in the outer study. Please help yourself, madam


    Han asked hesitantly, "Shen Ze? Didn''t zegol send you away? " See that small Si also a face ignorant appearance, then let him go down. At this time, Feixu said, "go to see off leisurely old lady, and come back to say that uncle Ze actually sent the person to the Lin''s door in person. Two people also stood at the door and said a meeting, and then uncle Ze rode away. In the afternoon, Mr. Ze must have something to do with Mr. Hou. I didn''t expect that his wife would send her this job. It''s the same with Mr. Ze. Since he has something to do, can''t he just say it earlier? I have to run this time. It''s just like my wife''s deliberately ordering him. " Han''s smell speech, suddenly smile "silly girl, say not Ze Ge Er also hope I call him this time."


    Feixu was puzzled. "What does this mean, madam?" Han said, "it''s not interesting. In this way, you can go to Tonghua Lane tomorrow morning and prepare some housewarming gifts for leisurely. Tell the two girls about it again and ask if they have anything to give them As soon as Feixu was about to leave, he was called back by the Han family. "Tell the princess that leisurely''s house is not her own. Let her keep the good things for making up later. Don''t think about it all. I don''t know who it is. " Feixu promised to do it.


    The Han family knew that the Lin family could not afford to buy the Sanjin house next to the Imperial College because of their original wealth for three or five years. It must be leisurely that he subsidized the family with his private house. Han didn''t know about those pots of orchids. He estimated in his heart that the cash in leisurely''s private room was almost filled. I can''t help sighing in my heart that the child is too sincere. I''ll fill in all the money in my private house like this. Can I get married in two years? Can I get a dowry for her? She told me to waste it. It''s all right. After all, they are the flesh and blood of the family. She would like to forget it. It would be two years before she would add more dowries when she went out. Thinking of Shen Ze''s abnormality today, Han thought, maybe this day will be fast.


    The next morning, Youran''s family had just had breakfast. Feixu, Huaping and others came with a servant girl and a lot of gifts.


    Leisurely quickly let Fang Cao tell an Ge''er and Li Wenbo to avoid, don''t collide. I personally received the message "if you want to come, you should say it earlier.". The family didn''t clean it up. It was a mess. "


    Feixu said with a smile, "we are not outsiders. What''s the taboo? Besides, we haven''t talked about you yet. We won''t talk about buying a house at home. Is there anything else we can be good sisters? "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it really doesn''t depend on me. I wanted to talk about it a year ago. You are all busy like a top. Last time, I happened to encounter that. How could I have the heart to talk about it? Naturally, our courtyard is not as colorful as the house of marquis, but there are two cherry trees. It''s time for us to see them. Let''s go and have a look. "

 Chapter 86

    The woman behind the catkins carried in more than a dozen large boxes and said leisurely, "is this exaggeration? It''s just a move. It''s not worth bringing these things? You didn''t empty your wife''s private bank, did you Then an empty room was opened for them to carry everything.


    Feixu said with a smile, "I don''t have the courage to do that. Some of them are given by my wife, as well as by the princess and the big girl. There are signatures in the boxes. You can assign them yourself. " Leisurely said, "let the lady and the girls spend again."


    Feixu said, "if you help your wife so much, you will double it again. My wife is willing to. Even we are grateful. If there is something wrong with madam, what can we sisters do well? "


    Leisurely clapped her hand, "good sister, at last, it''s auspicious. Isn''t everything safe now?" Suddenly, so many people came, and the grass and willow leaves were in a hurry. Fortunately, a few of the maids in Feixu are smart and have eyes. Some of them help the fan stove to make tea without waiting for orders.


    After a while, leisurely and a few big servant girls drink a cup of hot tea. Leisurely said with a smile, "if you try this tea, it won''t be as good as that in Hou''s house, but it''s a leaf I picked from an old tea tree on the mountain and stir fried with my own hands. I''m not willing to take it out until idlers come. I''m willing to entertain you only when you come. "


    Wen yanhuaping just covered his mouth with a smile, but Qinghe spat with a smile, "you stingy guy, when you go to that house, we all bring out the master''s best tea for you to drink. Now it''s so easy to come here, but you can fool us with these worthless leaves, don''t you


    Leisurely and innocently said, "what''s the shame? Can''t the tea of Hou Fu be made from tree leaves? If it''s really bad, I''m willing to be punished. " So, everyone laughed and tasted.


    "How about not insulting your golden mouth?" Leisurely asked jokingly.


    Feixu said, "although it can''t compare with the tea in the mansion, it also has a wild taste. Let it be."


    The screen said, "I''m very good when I drink it. It''s more pyrotechnic than the tea in the house." Qinghe nodded, "well, you''re right. There''s so much paste."


    Leisurely smile to see the past "did not expect you this girl''s tongue is quite sensitive, but the fire Hou did not control well, slightly fierce some, this also can taste." Just as he was talking, Liu Ye came and told me that another woman and several young men came to give gifts, saying that it was from the Shen family.


    Smell speech, leisurely a Leng, surname Shen of she know of this not all in? Although in the mind doubts, but still invited the person to come over.


    After a while, a 40 year old woman came in, but the willow leaf standing at the door suddenly recognized "mother Zhang, why are you here?" Then he said to leisurely, "this is Mrs. Zhang of boss Shen''s family."


    It turned out that it was the people in Shen Ze''s mansion, who thought to himself leisurely.


    Seeing that there were a large number of people in the room, the old lady stood at the door and said, "my uncle said that there is nothing else in the house, only some cherries and some fresh fish and shrimps from Chuang Tzu, and some stewed and pickled vegetables from our shop. They are sent to our house for a temporary housewarming. Our uncle said that it''s not something valuable, it''s just the normal movement of the neighborhood. Please don''t think it''s too thin. Please accept it. "


    Leisurely back to the way "has been very thick, I just have two boxes of home-made peanut crisp, you take back, thank your uncle for me." Then she asked Fang Cao to give her a purse. The old lady said thanks and left.


    When Zhang''s mother comes home, Shen Ze is reading in her study. She tells Shen Ze about it. Take leisurely''s return gift to Shen Ze again. Shen Ze asks her to put it on the table in the room. What is Miss Lin doing at home Mother Zhang said with a smile, "Madame Hou has sent a lot of housewarming gifts to Miss Lin. when the maidservant went, Miss Lin was entertaining them. The maidservant saw that the leading one was Miss Feixu beside Madame Hou." Shen Ze listened and nodded, "you are working hard. Go down and have a rest."


    Song Yan, Shen Ze''s boy, said with a smile, "since you are giving gifts to the Lin family, how can you not give them to the Lin family, but give them to the Lin family''s sister?" In the end, the voice became smaller and smaller, because he had already felt the murderous spirit in Shen Ze''s eyes.


    Shen Ze took a look at him and said, "I think you are quite idle recently. Go and copy our family rules to me twice. If you can''t finish it, don''t eat today." Pine smoke to ask for love, and afraid to annoy Shen Ze, will be punished double, sad face out.


    Seeing that Shen Ze had sent so many cherries, leisurely let Fang Cao wash a few large plates of cherries and bring them over to invite all the sisters to eat. Then he took five taels of silver to Xiaoshi and asked him to go to a restaurant on the street outside to book a first-class banquet and two middle-class banquets.


    There are nearly 20 single servant girls, ladies and gentlemen, plus a few Feixu and their families. That''s more than 30 people, just Fangcao and Qingliu. It''s OK to make two home-made dishes, but they can''t entertain such people.


    Fortunately, there is a "Yuelai restaurant" on the street outside. When they first came here to clean up their house, they went to eat once. Although the price is a little higher, they have good taste and many varieties. It costs two liang of silver to serve 16 dishes of eight cool and eight hot dishes on one table. A medium one or two silver. For ordinary people who can eat two liang silver for half a year, such a table is not cheap. But this place is close to some of the highest universities in the Dakang Dynasty. Among them, there are many distinguished students and lecturers. As long as the dishes are clean and delicious, there will be no shortage of customers.


    Fang Cao came and asked how to set the meal. Feixu said with a smile, "in the past, when I went out with my wife and girl to attend flying flower banquet and Qunfang banquet, we could only watch the masters eat snacks and tea under the tree in front of the flowers. Today, if you have the opportunity, why not follow suit? "


    Qinghe nodded and said, "that''s a good idea. I think the two cherry trees in the yard are just right. At this time of the year, there are no mosquitoes or flies. Let''s try to have a good drink under the flowers and trees


    Both Feixu and Huaping nodded, caressing their forehead leisurely. "I don''t care about those jars of wine. I''m afraid you''ll drink too much. What can I do if you go back in the afternoon and can''t dismantle it?"


    Feixu looked at her with a smile. "You don''t need to care about this, madam said. Today we have the right to take a day off and let us enjoy it. It''s OK to stay here for one night and go back."


    Leisurely smile, "in this case, I have to sacrifice my life to accompany a gentleman." At the moment, let the grass and willow two carried a round table under the cherry tree. Put cups and dishes on the table. After a while, Yuelai restaurant will send the banquet, and then put the dishes on the table directly. Of course, before that, I did not forget to pick out two dishes to be sent to the front yard for Enron and his classmates.


    After entering the dining room, Li Wenbo saw that there were four dishes and one soup on today''s table. He asked strangely, "what''s today''s day? How can it be so rich. " Lin family''s usual meals are just two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, plus a soup or porridge, which is not extravagant.


    Hearing this, Enron said with a smile, "it''s not that some of my sister''s usual sisters came to send some housewarming gifts, so my sister left them at home for a meal, which also means to be lively. Because there was no serious cook at home, he went to the restaurant outside and called for several banquets. "


    Li Wenbo wants to say that there are maid and mother-in-law at home? Why do you have to go out and order? How much will it cost? My classmate''s sister is really extravagant. But after all, he was dependent on others. Although he was a little disdainful in his heart, he didn''t show anything on his face.

 Chapter 87

    Until the west of the sun, leisurely will drink a few people one by one to the car. Fortunately, the two men were studying hard in their own room, so they were not seen drunk by outsiders.


    Grass for leisurely block a lot of wine, at this time also some drunk. Leisurely sent willow leaves to boil a pot of strong sobering soup, filled it in a teapot, and handed it to the woman with the car. "Mammy is suffering, so we must give them some sobering soup on the way. Otherwise, it''s not decent to go back and let people see it."


    The woman said, "don''t worry, girl. I know it. If the sisters make a fool of themselves, the old slaves will have to die. " Leisurely will be a purse into the hands of the mother-in-law, "so, a few of them to the mother."


    Seeing off a large family of Shen Fu''s sons, he looked at the mess in the courtyard and said to Fang Cao, "you three are affected. Take our own cups and dishes and wash them tomorrow. Keep these in the restaurant. They take them back and wash them by themselves. I''ll go inside and have a rest. Don''t call me for dinner. "


    Leisurely, he wiped his face, took off his coat, and lay down on the bed. When I woke up, it was already bright. She sat up and pressed her temple, but her head was still a little dizzy. I swear I''ll never drink so much again.


    Liu Ye, who was wiping the ground outside, heard her rising and washed her hands. She brought in hot water to wash her. After washing, leisurely came to the living room, saw yesterday after the party a mess has been cleaned up.


    Fang Cao brought a tray and said, "Miss, have some rice. The maid thought that the young lady''s stomach was not very comfortable this morning, so she cooked some millet porridge. Let''s have some


    A bowl of thick rice porridge, leisurely feel a little more comfortable in the stomach, but also do not want to eat. Thinking of the things they brought in yesterday, leisurely they went to the room to check one by one.


    There was nothing particularly valuable in the box, but they were all urgently needed in the house. Han asked people to prepare for her a set of tea cups with 36 heads, a set of dishes with 88 heads, two pairs of famille rose vases, two pairs of blue and white plum vases, two pairs of stove bottles, two pairs of Yutian Rouge rice, two pairs of Yutian japonica rice, six sets of bed curtains with different colors, four collars of Furong mat, four pieces of field yarn with different colors, four pieces of superior Songjiang cloth, four pieces of cocoon silk, four pieces of brocade, and two sets of four treasures of study Two pairs of calligraphy and painting. Another pair of gold and silver ingots. These are just for living at home, which saves a lot of time.


    Knowing her preference, Fang Xinsu gave her a pair of red copper lotus censers, four new books, two boxes of snacks, a pair of table screens with water patterns on the ground, a pair of bowls with sweet white glaze, four boxes of tea and a bag of bird''s nest. Shen Tian presented a pair of boxwood carvings, a pair of silk lotus palace lanterns, a set of flower and bird pattern pastel storage cans and two boxes of color ink. Shen Ying and Shen Lian each gave two beds of brocade quilt and one bed tent.


    With these things, leisurely picked out a few, let the grass and willow two will be Lin Mu''s house to tidy up, the same color curtain, bedding are laid. Then take some painting bottles and ornaments to the living room one by one, and take down the original nave of a rich peony and replace it with a landscape nave given by Han.


    Due to the rush of the day, the leisurely room was only hung with a blue and blue gauze tent and a set of four treasures of the study. No other ornaments of various colors were brought. Leisurely let Liu Ye take a pair of Yu Hu spring bottles from Ru kiln and fill them with water. Pick out some half opened jasmine flowers in the yard and cut them off and insert them in the bottles. On the desk and windowsill in my room. All of a sudden, it added a lot of spring to the whole room.


    When I came in, I found that the whole house had been equipped with earthworms, so there was no pan Kang in the house. Fortunately, the original owner left two shelved beds, so he responded to the emergency. In the past, there were no conditions, but now there are conditions. Let leisurely go to sleep in other people''s bed, I always feel that there are some diaphragms. So she went to the carpenter''s shop early in the morning and ordered two shelf beds, one for herself and one for Lin Mu. There are also some wardrobes, dressers and other things, and they don''t choose too good wood, but they use common elm. Although the texture of this kind of wood is not very brilliant, it is better than its hard texture, which makes the furniture strong and durable.


    The sisters in Hou''s mansion didn''t feel very well when they woke up in the morning. No matter how hard it is, I still have to be on duty. Feixu still got up early in the morning to wash her hair, changed her clothes inside and outside, and put a piece of fragrant cake in her mouth. By the time Han got up, her hair had dried out and combed in a bun. Han looked at her and said with a smile, "I saw you were drunk when you came back yesterday. I thought you couldn''t get up this morning. I didn''t expect to get up so early. " Feixu took a handkerchief to help Han scrub, and said with a smile, "yesterday I was very grateful to go out to relax for a day, no matter how can I delay today''s work."


    Han nodded, "I just like you. I don''t want to be arrogant because of your shallow ambition. What did you do yesterday? " Feixu said yesterday''s process one by one, in fact, Han has listened to the little girl said again. But everyone''s point of view is not the same, the feeling of nature is not the same.


    Feixu also said with a smile, "well, there''s another interesting thing. We didn''t go for a while yesterday. Mr. Shen Ze also sent his wife to deliver a basket of cherries and bittern in the shop. The maid is a little strange. It''s reasonable to say that uncle Ze doesn''t have a wife in his family, and he makes friends with Lin''s elder brother. Why don''t he just give the gift to Lin''s elder brother and have to find a mother-in-law to send it to you ran? " After listening to this, Han''s head began to smile, "it''s very interesting."


    A few days later, Lin''s mother received a letter from leisurely. The letter will Han''s commitment to say that in order not to affect the normal play of Enron, the matter has not told him. But no matter whether he can win the local examination or not, he will live in the Minghe Academy on this side of the capital. In this case, it''s better to move all the belongings to the house in the capital. The old house and the land at home are entrusted to the care of the elder uncle.


    Although she did not read many books, she had heard the name of Minghe academy and knew that it was one of the best academies in the capital. It''s just that there are strict apprentices, and the children of other people can''t even touch the door. Now that my son has such an opportunity, naturally everything is focused on his future. It''s just that she''s worried that it''s not easy to live in Beijing. When I went to the capital, I needed a lot of money just to eat and drink. Not to mention other expenses.


    At this thought, Lin Mu still hesitated. But also silently will be home soft and other things are packed in the box, thinking that if Ann really can pass the exam, his family will settle there. If you fail, come back.

 Chapter 88

    When the time came, Lin''s mother went to the nearby Sanqing temple to worship Bodhisattvas and gave up some sesame oil money. Then he cleaned up the house and let old Liu tou drive the carriage to Tonghua lane with his sister-in-law.


    When she arrived at the house, Mrs. Lin found that the house was clean and tidy inside and outside, and that some dilapidated places had been repaired by craftsmen. The weeds and dead trees are clean. Leisurely went to the flower market and bought a lot of new rose, peony and other trees, as well as a few pots of Begonia with flowers, which were placed at the door of the main room and in each bedroom, making the room bright.


    Waiting for leisurely to lead her into her own room, Lin Mu a look at these furnishings, immediately tut tut voice, "I remember the upper family did not leave so much furniture, furnishings ah? Are these new additions? How much will it cost? "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it didn''t cost much money, only a few dollars for the furniture. The curtains and the paving were all gifts from my wife and several young ladies." Finish saying, bring the original gift list to Lin Mu to see.


    Lin''s mother said with some doubts, "Mrs. Shen and some young ladies are too polite, aren''t they?" Leisurely said, "when I went to the mansion last time, I just helped my wife a lot. She thought about my feelings in her heart, so she sent these things here."


    "What is it? It won''t do you any harm, will it? " Lin Mu asked with some worry. Leisurely smile "mother think where, how can such a thing, but is to help his wife found out a thief.". It''s just that I, an outsider, can see things a little more clearly than my wife. "


    Lin''s mother just nodded, "it''s just that. It''s not easy to pick you up. I don''t want you to get involved in those big family disputes any more. Although our family is a little poor, as long as we all work together, we can live on. You must take care of yourself. " Leisurely looking at the mother''s eyes, solemnly nodded, "yes, the daughter has written down, mother rest assured."


    When he heard that mother Lin was coming, Xiao Shitou told him that Mr. Li wanted to come and greet mother Lin. the young master had been waiting in the corridor with him. Lin''s mother straightened her clothes and said, "please invite him in." Leisurely to avoid, Lin mother said, "since your brother''s good classmate, you see no harm, I''m here!"


    After a while, Li Wenbo came with Enron. Because in the capital, Lin Mu and leisurely wear more gorgeous clothes than when they were in Linjia village.


    Lin''s mother was not bad at all. In the past year, the whole family was in a good mood for reunion and beauty. Her family had added a lot of income. She bought a house and did all the rough work by her servants. She was also leisurely and often took some tonics. Therefore, her face was ruddy and glossy. She looked several years younger than before.


    After Li Wenbo invited an, he felt a little uneasy to see that the image of Lin''s mother was quite different from that of the farmer''s wife in the past. At this time, I heard Lin''s mother say, "this is your brother''s classmate friend. He used to come to our house to play. He is two years older than you. Call him" Shixiong. " Then, accompanied by a gust of fragrance, the fragrance was as elegant as orchid and musk deer, and a pleasant female voice sounded in Li Wenbo''s ear: "I''ve met my elder brother." Li Wenbo hastened to reply, "girl, I''m so polite." He didn''t dare to look up at others. He only noticed the soft silk hem with blue lotus embroidery and plum blossom pattern and the moon white flowered skirt.


    At this time, the willow leaves brought tea. Li Wenbo took a sip of tea to suppress his manic heartbeat. Lin''s mother knew that he was a honest man, so she asked her how her mother was, how her family was, and so on.


    While dealing with Lin''s mother, Li Wenbo listened to Enron''s sister talking to him. His sister asked, "I don''t have many days. I think you are working hard recently, but you should also pay attention to your health. Even if you are still young, it doesn''t matter how many times you pass the examination. Don''t push yourself too hard. Now it''s time for spring flowers to bloom. If you are bored at home, just go out and have a look around. It''s also wonderful to just walk around our house. You haven''t been out since you''ve been here. " Tone is not slow, whispered, and no one advised his brother to study hard, now when? When I think of my mother, when I was young, I would be scolded as long as I was a little lax in my study. Mother, always makes him feel depressed. Therefore, after taking the examination of Bailang academy, he did not want to go back. Every time I go back, I take the money and leave in a hurry. At this time, after listening to leisurely''s words, Lin''s mother said with a smile, "your sister is right. Don''t push yourself too hard. Just now your sister said that she would go shopping tomorrow. I''m not sure if she goes by herself. Why don''t you accompany your sister? "


    Enron nodded, "it''s just that I''ve been reading a little boring these two days. In that case, I''ll go with my sister tomorrow." When Li Wenbo saw that the family was chatting speculatively, he felt that he was like a redundant person here, so he left first.


    After he left, leisurely then discussed with his mother and brother about giving gifts to his neighbors. As the saying goes, "a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor." if you live in a same alley in the future, if you look up but don''t look down, you can''t get along well. Things don''t depend on whether they are valuable or not, just two boxes of snacks, but at least a gesture of wanting to make friends. It''s not difficult. Liu Ye is very familiar with this area. She knows that there is a time-honored pastry shop not far from Wenhua street. There are two or two snack boxes in it. She is very famous in this area. It''s very respectable to visit relatives and friends. So leisurely decided to take a look in person.


    The next morning, before dinner, the sister and brother put on their clothes and rode to the most prosperous Zhengyang Street nearby. After getting on the bus, Enron murmured, "sister, I''m hungry. You won''t let us eat before we leave."


    Leisurely said, "don''t worry, I can''t starve you. Elder sister, I''ll treat you to delicious food. What''s more, the porridge pot in our family is too small for three or four people to eat. If there are too many people, it''s not enough. Let''s go out to eat and save Mrs. Liu a lot of work. After dinner, I want to remember to buy a pot first. " Enron nodded, "why didn''t you buy a bigger pot last time?"


    Fangcao said with a smile, "young master, I don''t know. The guys in the kitchen haven''t had time to buy it. The pots we use now are all brought from the old house. The one who cooks porridge is still the casserole used by the young lady to make soup¡° I see. Ah, these days I only focus on my studies. My mother and sister are responsible for everything at home. It''s really hard for my sister. Please accept my younger brother''s respect. "


    "Well, who let me be your sister? If I have a daughter-in-law, I can still remember your sister a little." Leisurely said jokingly. "That''s natural," Enron said with a smile


    While talking, the carriage stopped. The grass lifted the curtain and said, "Miss, here we are."

 Chapter 89

    Leisurely said to his younger brother, "the soup dumplings and wonton in this family are very delicious. You''ll try them later." The boss here used to be a neighbor of LiuYe family, but he often helped her to eat in private. Therefore, when leisurely asked about the nearby breakfast shop that day, Liu Ye thought of this one for the first time. She brought leisurely to eat once. Leisurely saw that the store was clean and tidy, and the food tasted good, so she wrote down the store.


    Now is the time when most people eat breakfast, and there are so many people in the breakfast shop that there are so many people, even squatting on the ground to eat. Seeing this, Liu Ye said, "if you don''t want miss to wait here, I''ll go and order dinner for miss and young master to eat in the car."


    Leisurely nodded, "then one person to a bowl of wonton, and then a cage of small dumplings, a plate of fried dumplings with three fresh vegetables, give your grandfather a big bowl of wonton." Then he handed her a purse with a lot of copper money in it.


    Willow leaf took the purse, familiar to find small two, ordered things, told them to send to the outside of the carriage up. After a while, there are two small things they ordered with two large trays to send over.


    After tasting a wonton, Enron said, "well, this wonton is really delicious, but it''s worse than that made by Sister Liu." "Leisurely interface" regardless of the craft, do you think it''s so easy to get the stuffing for wonton made by Mrs. Liu? If you want to, I''ll let her make it for you in a few days. But at present, the family is in a hurry, and we have to prepare for your next meal. We''ll eat it after you finish the exam. " Enron does not matter to say "I casually so a mention, as long as can fill the stomach, how to become."


    After breakfast, LiuYe took leisurely to a nearby iron shop. After paying a deposit, he ordered several pots of different sizes. Then several people went to the grocery store to buy some cups and dishes. The tea cups and dishes Han sent were also very good, but because they were too good, they were not suitable for their daily use. Leisurely picked a set of blue and white tea sets with medium porcelain quality, and bought bowls and chopsticks of the same design and color. There were also miscellaneous ornaments and other things. She had plenty of money in her pocket. In addition to her former private house, Shen Ze gave her 1000 liang of silver notes last time. After the embroidery was finished, Fang Xinsu gave her a gold ticket of two hundred taels and a whole set of jadeite jewelry. These are her hard-earned, and there is no plan to subsidize the family. However, now these small money, she is not stingy.


    Just next to the grocery store was a cloth shop. Leisurely, he went in again. I bought a lot of medium-sized fabrics and satins for daily use. In that case, the materials they give are too good. They often cost tens of taels of silver for one piece. For their family''s current economic conditions, it''s too luxurious to wear everyday. Or buy some civilian materials, daily cut clothes do bedding with also not distressed. All of a sudden, she chose more than ten pieces of various materials, and the carriage couldn''t fit any more. Fortunately, such big stores have door-to-door delivery business. Leisurely said the address, and then said, "wait until noon to send it, or no one will pay money at the door." Since it was something she bought, she had no plan to ask mother Lin to pay for it. The shopkeeper was in a hurry.


    Later, I went to Wenhua street. First I went to the pastry shop that Liu Ye said. I saw that the pastries were really well made. Even the boxes used were exquisite. He paid the deposit and ordered twelve boxes of snacks.


    On Wenhua street, there are many bookstores, pen and ink shops and other places selling literati articles. Now that I''m here, I''d like to have a look. They first went to a bookstore, where the books were quite complete. Seeing that there were so many people coming, the man came and said, "please come inside, sir. I don''t know what kind of books do you want? I think the young man around you is a good-looking candidate, isn''t he? We happen to have a book in our store, which is the movable type printing plate of Gao Zu Ye''s manuscript. It''s really a necessary book before the exam. Originally, it was twenty-five yuan, but now it''s only twenty-five yuan. It''s time. What''s up? Would you like one? "


    As soon as she heard that it was so expensive, Enron just wanted to say that she didn''t need it, so she heard her sister say, "since what you said is so good, let''s have one. Let''s have a look at the calligraphy of emperor Gaozu. " The little boy rushed to get the book and turned over a few pages leisurely. He saw that the book was thicker than he thought, about as thick as a copper plate. It was quite pressing in his hand. The cover is made of cardboard wrapped in fine silk, which is also waterproof. After flipping through a few pages, I found that the contents were very detailed, including the origin, inheritance and development of the imperial examination, as well as the coping methods and precautions of various examinations. Leisurely handed the book to one side of Enron, and asked, "do we have travel notes, geography and other books in our shop?" The guy said with a smile, "I can''t imagine that a girl is literate. There are all these books. Here, this column is full of such books, and next to it are some unofficial history, biographies and so on."


    In the innermost corner, the bookshelf nearly two meters high is full of such books. Leisurely out of a look, and see the younger brother looking at another direction straight, he said with a smile, "you see, what you like just buy, a few books money, sister still has."


    Enron grabs her hair with a smile. "I don''t need money from my sister. I have it here." On New Year''s day, he saved the pocket money his mother and sister gave him, and the copper money he earned from daily copying books. In a few months, he also saved two or three Liang silver, which is enough to buy a few books. He copied a lot of books in the academy every day. Needless to say, he could recite the four books and five classics, such as historical records, Sun Tzu, Zizhi Tongjian and so on. Now he''s just searching for books he hasn''t read.


    In the end, leisurely chose two travel notes, one miscellany, one local chronicle and two historical books before and after the founding of the people''s Republic of China. Seeing that Enron was empty handed, she asked, "don''t you have the right one?" Enron said with a smile, "elder sister, I don''t want to read miscellaneous books now. I''d better come back after the rural examination. I don''t want to sell a few knives of paper any more. I''m not willing to use the rice paper you gave me in my daily calligraphy practice. "


    Wen Yan, with a leisurely smile, said to the man just now, "Xiao Er, pack these books, and then take two knives of rough edge paper, two knives of superior jade clasp paper, and a stack of Haiyue paper. How much is it? "

 Chapter 90

    The guy didn''t expect to see that the younger brother and sister were extraordinary. He quickly wrapped up the book and paper, and said with a smile, "Chenghui twelve eight silver." Leisurely took out a silver ingot from his pocket and handed it to him. Xiao Er quickly took the silver to the counter and weighed it. After a while, he came over with the silver he had been looking for. "It happens that there are activities in our shop recently. Those who spend more than ten liang of silver at one time will send ten pieces of gold paper and ten pieces of Xie Gong paper. Please accept them."


    Leisurely took the paper, said with a smile, "thank you." Then he left the bookstore.


    At noon, I found a teahouse and ate some famous dishes. In the afternoon, they went to order some rice, flour, grain and oil, melon seeds, peanuts and other things, and they went back home.


    Soon came the day of the examination, thanks to the "notes before the examination", leisurely, who had not participated in the imperial examination, had a more in-depth understanding of the examination process. I know what to prepare.


    Fortunately, today''s rural examination has been greatly improved. Although it also tests four books and five classics, it also adds some questions about arithmetic, agriculture, water and so on. The examination time has been changed from nine days and nine nights to three days and three nights.


    Although there is a kitchen in the examination room, few people will cook. Leisurely prepared some sauce beef, sausage, marinated, pickled vegetables and so on for his younger brother, and asked sister-in-law Liu to cook some big cakes. They are all cut into small pieces. Of course, some commonly used pills or something should be taken with them just in case. There is also a thick sheepskin mattress, good to sleep at night. Of course, these things are indispensable and should be provided to Li Wenbo. Leisurely thought that since he lived in his own home to take the exam, he and his younger brother could take care of each other in the officialdom if he also won the Ju Ren exam in the future.


    When Li Wenbo saw that Enron''s elder sister was doing so well, he couldn''t help thinking a little about the beauty. If this branch oneself can get lucky to win the middle place person, with oneself and Enron''s sentiment cent, open mouth to propose a marriage words also not necessarily have no chance to win.


    If Lin Enron knew that he was good to eat and drink for, but at last this man secretly beat his sister''s idea, he was afraid that he would beat him out with a stick.


    In the early morning of this day, the two students got up and took care of everything. They took a carriage to the gate of Jinghua Academy. The examination rooms here are as tired as those of later generations. They are all conducted in the students'' classrooms. These days, of course, the whole college will be cleared up, and none of the teachers and students will be left. The invigilators are all officials of the National Academy of Sciences and officials of different sizes randomly selected from the vicinity of the capital. In addition, there are six official inspection teams.


    After seeing off Enron, Lin''s mother took leisurely, picked up snacks and other things, and went door-to-door to give gifts in person. Fortunately, several of the neighbors are amiable. I heard that her son was only 14 years old when he was admitted as a scholar. Now he is 15 years old and has taken part in the local examination. They all said, "if you succeed in the exam, don''t forget to invite us to have a wedding wine." Such a young scholar, even if he failed in this subject, has a bright future. Seeing that Lin''s mother and daughter are generous in speech and good in manners, they all have a heart of friendship.


    In this way, after the completion of several neighbors, the local examination will be finished. After they came back from the examination room, they both fell into bed after bathing and washing. Lin''s mother had the experience of her husband''s imperial examination, so she didn''t worry too much. She just ordered Liu''s sister-in-law to boil a pot of chicken soup and put it there. When two people are hungry, the next bowl of noodles is to eat.


    When they woke up, it was noon the next day. After a little rest, Li Wenbo left for home. He has been harassing others for so long. Now that he has finished the exam, he has no face to stay any longer.


    In the period of waiting for the list, the Empress Dowager''s future has passed. When she was young, the Empress Dowager was also a talented woman with excellent piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Otherwise, she would not have been employed as the crown princess at that time. Now I like this double-sided embroidered painting of Ruihe very much. The deep and leisurely embroidery is certainly not as good as those imperial embroiderers. But her embroidery is better than that of a professional embroiderer because of its elegant colors, grand layout and flexible stitching. The Empress Dowager nodded with a smile. "I haven''t seen such a lovely embroidery for a long time. It''s good. It has aura." Who embroidered it. Fang Xinsu answered one by one. The Empress Dowager heard that she was the girl who had saved Fang Xinsu before, so she praised her twice and said "Hou Shang". Seeing that the Empress Dowager praised him highly and knew that he was recommended by Princess Le''an, the female official next to her considered adding some rewards. Over the years, the Empress Dowager has rarely met such a lovely gift, so she likes it more. Although many people inside and outside the court pondered her thoughts all day, trying to please the emperor by flattering her. But sincerity can change sincerity, blindly speculating, what you see can only be superficial.


    When the emperor saw that the Empress Dowager liked it, he said, "reward.". I''ll take care of it.


    Therefore, the reward leisurely received in the end was very heavy. The Empress Dowager awarded a gold and silver collar, four palace satins, two strings of aloe beads, and two pairs of palace made gold and silver statues. The emperor ordered a pair of gold ingots, a pair of silver ingots and four pieces of silk. When the empress saw that the two big bosses all rewarded him, she also followed suit and rewarded him with two handles of superior palace fans, two pieces of brocade and a pair of gold and silver ingots. Fang Xinsu sent someone to send all these things to her, because they were all given by the emperor, pointing out that they were for leisurely. So leisurely and impolitely they all received their own box. Fortunately, there are still some real gold and silver in these awards. If they are all worthless bracelets and fans, just like Jia Yuanchun''s awards in a dream of Red Mansions, people will be speechless. Of course, Fang Xinsu received more rewards. As usual, there is no reason, the Empress Dowager also a strong reward for her things, this time the son had an excuse, the good things on the general reward to the loyal Marquis''s house. Fang Xinsu picked out some of them and distributed them to your relatives and friends. He also got a pair of Furong mats and a pair of wax carved Buddhist ornaments.


    In Zhongyi Marquis''s residence, marquis Shen and Han are also talking about the imperial examination. "Ze''er has also gone to take part in the imperial examination. I think his thoughts are mostly on official career and economy, but this subject is also hanging."


    Han said with a smile, "this child is a steady one. Besides, my cousins all say that his article is ready. I think it doesn''t matter. It''s just that he didn''t make it. Zegol is 21 years old. It''s really a big age. It''s time to get married and start a business. "


    Marquis Shen nodded, "yes, I had Tian''er in my grade. I used to have a four character general under my command, but I fell in love with his character. I don''t care that he is willing to marry his daughter to him without the help of his parents. Who knows that the boy thinks other people''s girls are vulgar. Dingyang uncle mentioned it that time, and he was willing to promise him a common girl of his family, but I didn''t know the character of the girl in his family, so I didn''t dare to promise it rashly. "


    Han said, "the Duke of Kui didn''t agree, otherwise, would it not hurt zege er?" Hearing this, marquis Shen was stunned. "What''s the matter? Is there something wrong with this girl in his family? "

 Chapter 91

    Han said, "it''s not just a girl? Although uncle Wu''an was also a concubine who spoiled his wife, Mrs. Luo''s teaching of common women was also very strict. No matter what happens in private, the common women in her family can at least get the top of the table. Mrs. dingyangbo is far away. She has only two legitimate sons and no legitimate daughter. There were many common women in the family, so they wanted to take them to marry the big families and pave the way for their sons. Generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with this idea. But she Leng is to train the common girl to the direction of thin horse, one by one of the directors may not be able to become, intrigue, flattery means are very good. I haven''t had a maid around me like a young lady! "


    Marquis Shen twisted his beard. "I''ve been away from the capital for many years, and I haven''t inquired much about the affairs of the inner courtyard of each mansion since I came back. I didn''t expect that the dingyang mansion has fallen like this. Mrs. Yang Bo is too short-sighted. Now that she has no daughter, her son will not marry his daughter-in-law? She won''t have a granddaughter after that? "


    "That''s why the sage said" marry a wife and a virtuous man. "I want to say that when I marry a daughter-in-law for zege''er, the appearance foundation is second. Hengze''er doesn''t have much wealth either. He is a man of backbone and won''t accept our help. It''s mainly about choosing a person who is gentle, has seen the world, and can get out of the hall and into the kitchen. Seeing Shen Mingchang frowning, Han comforted him, "don''t worry too much. I think Ze Ge''er has an idea in his heart. When there is time, the marquis will call him over to inquire in person. " Shen Mingchang nodded, "well, let''s wait until the results of the local examination come out."


    On the day of releasing the list, Lin''s mother sent old Liu tou and little stone master and grandson to see the list. When they arrived there, they thought it was early. As a result, the list is packed in front of it. Even if it hasn''t been released, it can''t stop the big guys from rushing in.


    Lin''s mother stood in front of the Chuihua gate and could not help chanting the Buddha. She looked at her little brother calmly, but her knuckles holding the book had turned white. Obviously, she was also worried.


    Fortunately, they didn''t worry for a long time. Soon after Chen Shi, a little boy with a good face came running over and said loudly, "Uncle Lin, uncle Lin, you''ve won. Congratulations on your success in Jieyuan!"


    Everyone was a little dazed, so he was more calm and leisurely. "Brother, please speak slowly. But my little brother is in it? "


    The boy said, "it''s Mr. Lin Enron in Tonghua lane."


    After hearing this, all the Lin family were very happy. Lin''s mother said, "reward." Fang Cao gave the boy a long prepared purse. Lin Mu asked with a smile, "which family are you from? How do you know about my family? " The boy replied with a smile, "if I go back to my wife, I belong to Uncle Shen of Zaohua Lane in front of me. My uncle won Yayuan. Because Uncle Lin and my uncle are next to each other, my uncle asked me to report the good news to you when he knew the result."


    Lin Enron said with a smile, "please go back to thank brother Shen for me. I will visit him in person in a few days." The boy said some congratulations and rushed back to the master.


    At this time, xiaoshitou came back and said, "congratulations to the masters, young master won the first name of Jieyuan!"


    Rao Shi already knew the result. After listening to his family say it again, everyone was more confident. Lin''s mother was so happy that she said, "give him a purse and watch his face sweat." Fang Cao took out a purse and handed it to her brother, "how did you come back? Uncle Shen''s boy has come to report good news. Where''s grandfather? "


    Xiaoshitou gasped and said, "there are too many people. It''s hard for us to get inside. Unexpectedly, we saw the young master''s name at the first sight. We thought it would be quicker to come back by carriage, but there were so many people watching the list that the carriage couldn''t move at all. My grandfather will stay there and watch the carriage and let me come back to report


    Just as the family was about to enter the house, they heard the sound of gongs coming from the alley. Then there were several officers dressed up to shout "congratulations to Mr. Lin Enron, Mr. Lin zhongjieyuan!" Five or six times in a row, coupled with the sound of gongs, neighbors nearby heard the sound and came out to inquire. Then he went to the Lin family and reported it again. Then he handed over a piece of red good news. Lin Enron said with a smile: "happy together! Please come in and have a cup of tea The leader said with a smile, "thank you for your kindness, but my brothers have to go to other places to report their good news. I''m afraid they can''t comply." Smell speech, Enron take out from the sleeve, in the morning leisurely put to his red seal handed in the past, "so, I won''t delay your business! It''s just a small gift. Let''s have a drink. "


    When people around see it, if it is the new neighbor''s child who won Ju Ren, it is Jieyuan. One after another, people in the nearby Hutong came to congratulate them.


    For a while, many guests came to the Lin family, which made them busy.


    Such rich families as Zhongyi Marquis''s have their own special channels. Before the announcement, Shen Mingchang already knew that Shen Ze had won Yayuan in the exam. He said to Han with a smile, "now my brother-in-law should have no opinion about Ze Ge''er, right? Who is Jieyuan? "


    Han''s self-care lifted the lid bowl, ignored him.

 Chapter 92

    The messenger said, "the slave inquired about it. Xie Yuan''s name is" Lin Enron ", which he had never heard of before." As soon as Shen Mingchang wanted to say the name, he heard Han excitedly ask, "what do you call Jieyuan? But Lin Enron


    The boy replied, "that''s the name, safe Ann." Han asked, "do you know Lin Enron''s home address?"


    The boy shook his head. "I don''t know." At this time, another young man came in and said, "if you want to talk to Mrs. Hui, the chief housekeeper said that you have just gone to inquire about it. The number one in this subject is Lin Enron, the younger brother of Miss Lin in Tonghua lane. The housekeeper asked his wife, "do you want to send a gift?"


    Han said with a smile, "of course. Just now, I heard the name, but I''m afraid I''ll confuse it. I didn''t expect that it was angel. I used to look at him as a smart person, but I didn''t expect that he won Jieyuan all of a sudden. Fly catkins, quick, you immediately prepare a thick gift, personally send it to leisurely home. Her family must be very busy. You should bring some quick looking maids to help. If it''s too late, just stay there. I''ll have your bedding delivered. " Shen Mingchang asked suspiciously, "who is this Jieyuan? Do you know him? "


    Han said, "I''ve met Hou ye, the younger brother of Qingliu, my former servant girl." Shen Mingchang suddenly realized, "it''s him! No wonder I find the name familiar. I remember that this boy was a smart one. Unexpectedly, he won Jieyuan all of a sudden. How old is he? He''s really a young talent! I have a piece of top-grade Duan Inkstone from others. You can add them to the gift list. "


    Feixu hurriedly went down to prepare a gift. Han''s thought that it was too thin. That is to say, there was nothing to do with his family. He had to send several hundred taels of silver to his family. How could his family be stingy instead. No matter how much they give, they don''t necessarily share. Change two hundred taels of silver to five hundred taels. " Feixu agreed. After filling up, she took two carriages with her maid and went to the Lin family.


    Leisurely is very busy. All of a sudden, there are so many people at home. They want tea and snacks, although everything is ready. But after all, Mrs. Liu didn''t see much of the world. She was afraid of her hands and feet. At one time, there were a lot of mistakes. Everyone came to celebrate and make friends, but no one cared about it. Only, leisurely in his heart or some feel out of order. What''s more, most of the people came with gifts, and none of the servants in the family could read. At this time, we can''t let their brothers and sisters pick up and copy the gift list in person. No one transcribes the gift book, so I''m afraid it''s not good to return the gift at that time.


    Just at this time, the catkins came. When she saw the scene in the living room, she found a corner to put the gifts. To follow the small Si, servant girls were assigned, but a cup of tea Kung Fu, the whole house became orderly. At the gate, there are boys who are specially responsible for entertaining, people who transcribe gifts, people in the tea room who are specially responsible for boiling water and making tea, people who are specially responsible for cleaning tea cups, and so on.


    After working for a long time, until noon, these people gradually dispersed and went home to eat. Enron personally saw each other off at the door, and told them one by one that "because we are going to return to our hometown tomorrow to worship our ancestors, we will prepare a banquet at home five days later and invite everyone to have a drink." Everyone agreed to go. When Lin''s mother heard that her son wanted to go back to worship her ancestors, she remembered that she had not sent a letter to her hometown. He quickly called old Liu tou and asked him to take the carriage back to report the good news to Uncle Lin.


    Leisurely, I have time to talk with Feixu. I''m lazy to cook at noon. I teach two tables from the hotel to eat. I didn''t drink this time. The dishes on the two tables were very clean.


    After dinner, before I could catch my breath, there was another wave of congratulations. It was necessary for the family to cheer up again to entertain the guests. It was only after sunset that the guests slowly dispersed.


    When Feixu heard that they would go home to worship their ancestors tomorrow, he said with a smile, "since you want to go back, there must be a doorman in this house. If there are any more people coming to give gifts, it''s not good to let them go in vain. If not, I''ll stay and watch the gate for you for a few days. "


    Leisurely said, "how can this work? You''re going to go back to the government to be an official! " Feixu said with a smile, "since I said that, naturally, I have been instructed by my wife. There is no shortage of me around my wife. Just go back with ease. Here, I''ll watch for you. " As far as the present situation is concerned, leisurely has no room for evasion. Anyway, there are enough people to be owed, so we are not afraid to suffer any more. After receiving the message from Feixu, Han quickly asked the maid to clean up her bedding and dowry. Then he told the woman, "let your sister Feixu live there for a few days. When she''s finished, she won''t say that her sister wants to thank her. Even if I want to reward her, I will let all the servant girls, women, boys and girls who go with me listen to Hou''s instructions. Don''t cheat because they are working in other people''s homes. If you come back and let me know which one has lost the reputation of the Marquis''s office, you will be punished severely! "


    When the old lady returned to the forest house, she told Feixu what she had said. At the same time, all the people from the Hou family gathered in the front yard to wait for orders. Feixu stood up and said, "you''ve heard my wife''s words, too. It''s necessary to work hard these two days. In Houfu, when something goes wrong, the meat is rotten in the bowl, so it''s easy for the family to make up for it. Now it''s outside. If anyone doesn''t listen to the messenger, they don''t have to be here. They just go home. I''ll go and plead with you, madam They said yes. Then Feixu said with a smile, "I don''t know how many years such a young master Jieyuan has been born. We can have a chance to serve him personally and have some culture. We can be Jieyuan Lang even if we are reincarnated in the next life." Everyone laughed again.


    Early the next morning, the Lin family took a coach from the Marquis''s house to the village. Before I got to the entrance of the village, I saw a lot of lights on the door of the village. Many people were waiting there. The driver''s carriage was clever, too. He called out, "Jie Yuanlang is back!"


    At first, everyone was surprised to see the carriage, but they didn''t dare to recognize it. Now when they heard this, they all gathered around. The whole family couldn''t get on the carriage any more. They got off the carriage one after another and were escorted home.


    On the afternoon of that day, it was an auspicious day for uncle Lin to check the time. The people of Yiying had already prepared the tribute. When the time came, the central gate of the ancestral hall was wide open, and all the old and young men of the whole clan, who were at home, were led by the white haired patriarch himself, kowtowing and offering incense to the ancestors. For the first time, Enron knelt in the front row of the ancestral hall, only slightly behind the old patriarch. After the end of the worship, the old patriarch personally took a pen to record the happy event on the genealogy. In the past 100 years, there have been a lot of scholars in Linjiacun, but Jieyuan is still the first one. In this regard, people of all ethnic groups are full of joy and glory.

 Chapter 93

    According to Lin family mother and son three people do not like to publicize the character, originally thought of this, put a few tables of wine at home, please own family members to drink some wine. Unexpectedly, early the next morning, the county magistrate, Xuezheng adults and a group of Yamen servants came carrying a Jieyuan plaque.


    Leisurely knows for the first time that there is Jieyuan plaque. In her opinion, the plaque is a black board, with gold characters in the middle, and a line of small characters in the lower left corner, which reads "April of the 13th year of Kant". The plaque is also hung with a piece of red silk at the gate. I don''t know who got married at a distance.


    Let the county master do this, most of Baishui County know about it. As a result, more and more people came to celebrate. Many of them came with generous gifts. It seems that it''s unreasonable not to entertain them. So Lin''s mother took out fifty taels of silver and gave it to Lin Yiran, the elder brother in the lobby, to buy vegetables and other things and set up a water table for three days. Lin Yiran took the silver and said with a smile, "second aunt, don''t worry, I will do it well."


    Lin Yiran was also very efficient. In less than two hours, seven or eight big round tables were set up inside and outside the courtyard of the Lin family. The village chef who specializes in wedding banquet also came to help. The aroma of braised pork has permeated most of the village, attracting many children to look around outside the door.


    After setting up the water mat in the village, I didn''t care to have a rest for two days, so I cleaned up the house neatly. The family went back to the house in the capital and worked for another four or five days before they stopped.


    After all the work was finished, leisurely she wrapped a big red envelope for each of the maids who came to Hou''s house, and sent them away politely. Then she picked out some new gifts from the gifts she had recently received, and let Feixu take them back to Han. This time, Han helped so much and gave them such a heavy gift. It''s necessary for the family to go there in person. These are just a few gifts in return. Of course, what she gave to Feixu was not an ordinary red envelope, but an exquisite purse with a pair of red gold gourd Earrings inlaid with red treasure.


    After resting at home for a few days, he sent Shimo, that is, xiaoshitou, to Shen''s house in advance to deliver the invitation. Then the next day, the whole family went to Shenfu with a big gift.


    To Shen Fu, Enron was naturally led to see Shen Mingchang. Enron and Lin''s mother went to Yuehua courtyard. When they arrived at the gate of Yuehua courtyard, Lin''s mother was a little nervous. Leisurely comfort way "mother, it''s OK, there is me."


    When she arrived at the main hall, Mrs. Lin only saw a room full of warblers, swallows and flowers. It turned out that all the girls were here. When Han saw her coming, he went to the door to greet her. "Mrs. Lin is coming. Please sit in the room quickly." Then he pointed to the girls and said, "these are my daughters." One by one, I don''t mention it.


    Lin''s mother had thought it would be a hard day. Who would have thought that Han''s attitude was kind and kind, and what she said was nothing more than the family chores of raising children. Even a few girls, including the princess, didn''t speak rudely. By the time of lunch, Mrs. Lin was able to talk to everyone.


    When I went home in the afternoon, Enron happily said to my mother and sister, "mother, sister, I have already paid homage to my master today. It was Han Chengming, the famous Han imperial teacher, who is now the dean of Minghe Academy. Elder brother Shen zeshen is my third elder martial brother. The master said that he would introduce me to the other two elder martial brothers some other day. The master also gave me the word "reform" as my expression. "


    Rao is already aware of some inside information, mother and daughter are still very happy. Lin Mu was even more excited, and her eyes were moist.


    After returning home safely, he cleaned up a little, and took books and other things to the foot of Yangtian mountain in the morning of the third day. Lin''s mother wanted hold Mo to follow her, but Enron said, "even the master does everything by himself. What kind of boy do I take when I''m a student?" Seeing him say so, Lin Mu didn''t insist either. Only let old Liu drive him to the gate of the Academy. Since Enron left, the family gradually returned to peace.


    After experiencing that day''s confusion, the quality of several servants in the family has been reflected. For a few elderly people, leisurely has little hope. But a few young people can still be taught. She found a thousand character book of her younger brother''s enlightenment, copied it three times and gave each one a copy. Then teach ten words a day. There is no rigid requirement that everyone must learn all of them. But for the children of poor families, it''s really a golden opportunity to have a chance to read. Now the young lady is willing to teach them in person, and they all study very hard. In addition, Enron''s classmate Li Wenbo also won the Ju Ren test. Although he was ranked lower, he became the master of Ju Ren after all. That day, he excitedly asked people to go to the old house of the Lin family to report the good news and invite him to his home for a drink, which was also ostentatious. As a result, the man came back with only one gift. He said with a smile, "master Ju Ren, your classmate is also lucky. He won the first prize. It''s a little higher than your rank. It''s really a young talent. Master Ju, as Xie Yuanlang said, he can''t get away from his family because he has to pay homage to his ancestors. I think brother Li is also very busy. After a few days, he has a chance to get together. " Li Wenbo pulled the corners of his mouth and said thanks to the messenger with a smile. This classmate is really lucky. He won Jieyuan all of a sudden. But this is not the imperial examination, Jieyuan and Juren are not much different.


    As soon as the news of his election came out, the villagers who had looked down upon their orphans and widows all rushed to express their congratulations. Knowing that his family was in a difficult time, there were also refreshments, tea, melon seeds, peanuts and so on. No one came empty handed. It is originally far away from his home, uncle''s family also raised a smile, carrying gifts to congratulate.


    Several big families in the town sent gifts one after another. A rich businessman of the family sent 500 Liang silver, and a squire directly sent a three entrance house in the town, which was slightly larger than the Lin family''s house. This is the first time he has been flattered by so many people since he can remember. However, these people''s compliments did not eliminate his will. On the contrary, Li Wenbo strengthened his determination to go up. Now it''s just a Ju Ren, and there are so many people who rush to pay a compliment. In the future, if they become a Jinshi, a senior official, or even a marquis, a prime minister? When he thought about it, he felt that his classmate''s sister was not worthy of him. After all, he comes from a servant girl. If he grows up in the future, won''t it make people laugh at him for marrying a wife who comes from a servant girl? It''s just that the girl of the Lin family really has a deep relationship with the wives and ladies of the Hou family. If you marry her, you can get a lot of help.


    For a moment, Li Wenbo was deeply entangled.

 Chapter 94

    If Li Wenbo''s dirty thoughts are known by leisurely, I''m afraid that she will slash this person with a knife.


    Even if he didn''t have such a leisurely mind, he didn''t like him. But she doesn''t like this person, but someone else likes Li Wenbo. This man is no other than a very rich businessman in Li Wenbo''s hometown. The man''s surname is Zhou and he is called boss Zhou. Boss Zhou is 46 years old, his three sons are married, and his eldest grandson is 12 years old. But he also had a young girl, who was only 17 years old this year. She was his old daughter. Because she was the most similar to him among all his children, she was also his favorite. Boss Zhou has been in business for three generations, and he has accumulated a lot of wealth at home. He was not so keen on making money, and he wanted to change his family in the imperial examination. But I really don''t have that idea. I haven''t been a kid for half my life. So he placed his hope on his children and grandchildren. Fortunately, his second son finally won the scholar''s title a few years ago. If there is another Ju person in the family, it can be called the family of farming and reading. However, the second son''s level to the scholar also reached the top. So, he put his eyes on his daughter again. If you can find a promising son-in-law, and he becomes the father-in-law of the whole family, you will be looked down upon. If this son-in-law goes further, will he win the entrance examination? Oh, Hello, that''s even more amazing.


    It''s fun to think about it. Just after the release of the list, boss Zhou found Li Wenbo''s fresh green onion head among half of the old men. How can he not be excited? This is a golden opportunity for him.


    Boss Zhou is a man who has been in business for decades. Can''t he see the contempt of the idea hidden in Li Wenbo''s eyes for businessmen? But it doesn''t matter. He has his own tricks. At this time, it''s all parents'' business to talk about marriage and price, "matchmaker''s words and parents'' orders."!


    When Li Wenbo is going to dinner and cultural meetings everywhere, boss Zhou has sent someone to coax Li''s mother into obedience. When Li Wenbo knew about it, the two families had already changed their marriage documents, and the marriage was settled.


    When he saw the marriage letter, Li Wenbo thought he had read it wrong. He rubbed his eyes to have a closer look. At this time, Li Mu said, "don''t look at it. It''s your name on it. My mother has decided this marriage for you. She is the daughter of the rich merchant Zhou in the county. She is gentle and has a rich dowry. She is a good match! "


    Li Wenbo raised the letter of marriage and asked "good match? Mother, is that your idea? If you are just the daughter of a rich businessman, you can call it a good match? It''s also a matter of my life. How can my mother decide my marriage without asking my opinion? "


    Mother Li said with a sneer, "ask you? Hum, I think you''ve been very arrogant since you won the middle school. If you don''t think about it, you are just a small person now. You have no permanent property and no support. Do you still want to marry a princess? "


    Li Wenbo murmured, "well, at least you should marry an official lady, or you should have a backer. What insight can a rich merchant''s daughter have? "


    Li''s mother couldn''t bear to see her son''s stupefied appearance. So he said softly, "dear son, I''m your mother. How can I not understand your ambition? However, with the present situation of our family, you can''t marry the legitimate daughter of a senior official''s family. How much care can you get from your wife''s family if you marry a common daughter? How much dowry can a daughter of a small official family have? Although the Zhou family is only a merchant''s family, the dowry of their daughter must be very rich. At that time, with the money support of the Zhou family, you can concentrate on your studies, and then do some work after you get the entrance examination. When you are successful, there will be a choice. "


    Li Wenbo frowned: "abandoning his first wife will be despised." Li Mu came up to him and said in a low voice, "who told you to abandon your wife? People eat grains which have not sick? It''s a common occurrence that one''s illness is too serious to be cured. "


    When this understatement came out of his mother''s mouth, Li Wenbo seemed to know her for the first time. At this moment, he looked at the face which was quite similar to himself, and suddenly felt that something in his blood suddenly awakened.


    A moment later, he nodded, "I listen to my mother." Although Lin Enron won Jieyuan, his family is still there. He is young. So it''s still on the lookout.


    However, Yayuan Shen Ze is superior in his own quality. He is also the most reliable nephew of the loyal marquis. He says that he is more favored than a few common children in Shen Fu. So a large number of people showed their intention to marry.


    Because Shen Ze''s parents died and there were no elders in his family, these people found Han here one after another. If she wanted to make peace on her behalf, Han, seeing that the momentum was not right, declared that she was not well, settled down at home, and stopped a group of people outside the hospital.


    Shen Mingchang was also found, but Shen Mingchang said, "if you want to marry a daughter-in-law, it''s better for the child to be willing. I''m a clan uncle. What kind of mandarin duck music do you want? Go and ask him Naturally someone asked Shen Ze on his head and was blocked by Shen Ze''s sentence of "I have a place in my heart".


    That day, marquis Shen asked privately, "what do you think in your heart? You used to say that you didn''t have a reputation, so it''s not easy to say goodbye. Now that I have won the examination, why don''t you worry? "


    Shen Ze said with a smile, "in fact, I already have a candidate in my heart."


    "You''re a cunning boy! Originally in the heart already had spectrum, quick say, is whose family''s boudoir? Even if it''s a princess, I can give up this old face to show you my eyes. " Marquis Shen said with a smile.


    Shen Ze said with a smile, "the princess is beautiful and delicate. It''s not something that a careless person like me can afford. The person I''m talking about, I think the Marquis has met before. It''s none other than the elder sister of Jinke Jieyuan. Lin leisurely


    Marquis Shen frowned, "do you mean her? Is she a slave? Or our servant, are you not afraid of being ridiculed when you come out? "


    Shen Ze said with a resounding voice, "Gaozu was born as a slave, didn''t he also create our Dakang dynasty? What''s more, a woman''s status is always decided by her husband. If I marry her, I won''t let her be ridiculed for her status. "


    "Just think about it for yourself. I haven''t seen that girl, but I think that her brother is not in the pool. Although he is a little inferior to you in official career and economy, he is absolutely superior to you in terms of erudition and knowledge. " Marquis Shen said in a deep voice.


    "Ha ha," Shen Ze chuckled, "otherwise, how can he be Jieyuan and I am Yayuan?"


    "That''s true. Now that we have a candidate, why haven''t we heard from you?" Lord Shen asked again.


    Shen Ze helplessly stood up and said, "I also want to order this as soon as possible. But until now, no suitable person has been found. There is only one widowed mother in her family, so she naturally wants to find a matchmaker. Originally, my wife was the most suitable one, but now I dare not disturb her. My teacher''s mother is no longer alive. There is no suitable female elder! "


    Shen Mingchang twisted his beard and thought for a moment, "I think of a suitable person. I''ll make sure you''re satisfied."

 Chapter 95

    Shen Ze asked, "who does the Marquis say?" Marquis Shen said, "it''s no one else. It''s my mother''s sister-in-law. She was born in Mengshi, Shandong Province. She is the wife of the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs. Can you tell me that she is a princess?"


    Hearing that Shen Zeyi was happy, he hesitated, "will Mrs. Han help you?" After all, leisurely''s family background is not high. Even if he has never been a servant girl, he is just a small family of common people.


    Shen Mingchang affirms, "if you ask someone else to marry, you may not ask Mrs. Han, but if it''s her, the people in the Han government will certainly help. However, this matter, or to your wife to lead from. Why don''t you go and find some rare things and coax your aunt? "


    When Shen Ze heard that there was a way to do things, he said happily, "I''ll do it now."


    Sure enough, after listening to Shen Ze''s request, Han said with a smile, "I knew that you had some thoughts on leisurely child."


    Shen Ze said with a smile, "if my aunt is really careful, nothing can escape my aunt''s eyes."¡° Come on, who hasn''t been young yet? " Han waved his hand and said, "I''ll give my sister-in-law a post."


    After Han invited his mother''s sister-in-law over and said this. Mrs. Han was very happy when she heard that "our two families naturally know the benefits of leisurely child. Such a stable and generous girl, if not from a poor family background, would be able to marry the patriarchal clan. It''s just that her background is easy to be criticized, and she''s afraid that she''ll end up in a situation where high is not high and low is not. I thought that if her marriage was really difficult, I would choose one of several concubines and marry her. With my protection, she can''t stand the grievance in my family. It''s just that none of my concubines can hold it. If she hadn''t saved my brother Jin twice, our Han family would be dead. Now that she has such a good family, let alone me as a matchmaker, I am willing to make it ten times harder. "


    Then Mrs. Han pondered, "just, have you ever asked leisurely, that child has an idea in his heart. Don''t let''s be busy here for a long time. After we go, there will be other changes. I''m not afraid of anything. I''m afraid I''ll be embarrassed when I see you two or three times. "


    Hearing the words, Shen Ze had an idea in his heart. He said, "please wait for my message." Then he went out like a gust of wind.


    Han couldn''t stop shouting behind him. He shook his head at his sister-in-law and said with a smile, "this kid is in a hurry. I haven''t had lunch yet." Mrs. Han said with a smile, "it''s all from that time."


    But he said Shen Ze came to the front of the mansion, turned over and got on his horse, and ran all the way out of the city. Although it was still early summer, he was still soaked with sweat when he arrived at Minghe Academy.


    Enron saw a man standing in front of his bedroom after class. When he came to the front and back of the bedroom, he was surprised and asked, "elder martial brother Shen, why are you here? The master just talked about you. He said that you fished for three days and dried the net for two days. It''s not like words. Would you like to greet master? "


    Shen Ze took a deep breath and said slowly, "no, younger martial brother Lin, I''m not here for master. I''m here for you."


    Wen Yan asked in surprise, "what can I do for you?" Shen Ze motioned them to talk in the room, so Enron took the key to open the door and asked Shen Ze to go in. As a student of the dean of the Academy, Enron''s bedroom is quite large and complete. He asked Shen Ze to sit down at the table and asked again with a smile, "elder martial brother, what''s the matter with you coming to me in such a hurry?"


    "I admire your elder sister and want to marry her." Shen Ze looked at Lin Enron and said word by word.


    Enron was surprised. "What did you say?" Shen Ze repeated it again.


    The news came suddenly, and Lin Enron was unable to accept it. After a long time, he responded. Shen Ze only heard him bite his lips and asked, "don''t you dislike her origin?" Shen Ze asked, "do you dislike her?"


    Lin Enron shook his head. "Of course not."


    So Shen Ze said with a smile, "as long as we close relatives don''t care, what do you care about other people''s eyes?"


    Lin Enron asked suspiciously, "I remember that you and my sister met just a few times. How can you identify her?"


    Shen Ze said, "some things are probably predestined. When you meet that person in the future, it will be clear. Well, I just want you to help me now. Will your sister marry me? As soon as she nods, I''ll ask the matchmaker to come to me. If you don''t want to, let''s talk about it. " By the end of the day, the sound was almost inaudible.


    Enron didn''t have the heart to see him like this. So he nodded and said, "well, then I''ll go back and ask my sister. However, no matter whether it can be done or not, you are not allowed to go around and ruin my sister''s reputation. "


    "That''s natural. When did you see me do such a thing?" Shen Ze said, and then he stood up to collect a gift, solemnly thank the way, "thank you younger martial brother."


    Enron quickly waved his hand, "don''t be in a hurry to thank me. It may not be possible."


    Because it''s getting late today, even if you go back, you will be stopped outside the gate. So the next morning, Enron asked the master for leave and went home with a carriage.


    After listening to Enron''s retelling, leisurely opened his eyes and asked, "are you coming back for this special leave? Isn''t the rest day of your college in the future? I have to come back today. " Enron nodded, "isn''t this someone who can''t wait? It''s not dawn today, it''s making trouble for me. "


    Leisurely bit his lower lip, "you are also kind, just listen to him." Enron said with a smile, "isn''t it because there''s something to listen to? Elder sister, he told me that although his family is not rich, there are two houses, two small chuangs and three shops. There are also five or six hundred taels of crops in a year. There is no guarantee of wealth, but there is no need to worry about food and clothing. And his parents died. Although it''s a little harder, you''ll be the master of the family after you get married. "


    "Who said he was going to be the master of his family? I seem to have heard that he has a stepmother. He said, "didn''t you say that?"


    Enron nodded. "As I said, his stepmother was married after his mother died. A few years later, his father also died, and his stepmother took his stepsister back to her mother''s home after a year of filial piety because she was too young. When the stepmother left home, the property and land of the family had been delivered. Even his stepsister''s dowry was given to his stepmother. Later, his stepmother married another family in Jinzhou. In this way, even if the man comes back, he has no position to tell elder martial brother Shen. "


    Seeing that her sister was still thinking, she could not help asking, "elder sister, we are all clear about elder martial brother Shen''s family background, foundation and character. Do you want to marry him or not?"

 Chapter 96

    After listening to my younger brother''s words, leisurely blushed, "are you close to him or me? How can I feel that you are eager to take advantage of his wish?"


    Enron scratched his head and said with a smile, "naturally, I''m closest to my sister. It''s because I''m close to my sister that I know who is right for her. Although my sister is not proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she has also read a lot of poems and books. She always has her own style of writing and painting. If you find someone who doesn''t know big characters or is covered with copper, it''s not suitable for your sister. Among the scholars, those scholarly families we dare not think of any more, while the children of poor families are really reliable in character and outstanding in literary talent, and they are inevitably pedantic. It''s not as good as elder martial brother Shen. He''s more sophisticated and reliable. It''s not as good as looking outside? "


    Leisurely bit his lip and said, "at least it''s a matter of life. You have to let me think about it." Enron see sister heart tangled, then turned out.


    Only left leisurely one person, standing on the windowsill, watching the flowers outside the garden. If we say that this marriage, the most exciting thing for her is that she has no mother-in-law. In this way, there will be no complicated relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. As for the others, Shen Ze''s father is a three-generation biography, and there are no close relatives in the family. Otherwise, he would not follow Marquis Shen after his father''s death. My uncle''s family is far away in Zhejiang, so the remarried stepmother will not be any obstacle. Mrs. Hou is not a meddler in other people''s affairs. As long as she agrees with the marriage, no one will tell her what to do.


    This man refused to stay in the Marquis''s residence for a long time, so he must have some backbone; Willing to study business to earn money, do not regard money as dirt, then temperament must not be a pedantic and inflexible; If you can win the exam and be accepted as a land by Mr. Minghe, you must have some real materials in your stomach. My younger brother often says that you will benefit a lot from talking with him about your lessons... Oh, I can''t think about it any more. How can I think of the advantages of that person?


    However, such a character and appearance, family background is not bad, how can you take a fancy to yourself?


    Is tangled between, see willow leaf come in return way "young lady, fly catkins elder sister to see you." Leisurely quickly got up to meet the door, "why do you have time to come over?"


    Feixu said with a smile, "if you don''t come to see us, aren''t you happy that we will come to see you? If my wife hadn''t told me, I would never have thought you could have such a good fortune. "


    Leisurely said, "what are you talking about?" However, he said to the willow leaves standing on one side, "your sister Feixu likes walnut dew best. Don''t we have milk bought in the morning? Your sister Fangcao can do it. Go to her and teach you how to make two bowls. " LiuYe agreed to go.


    Seeing LiuYe out, Feixu said, "I think you must have known about it. Madam asked me to come here just to ask you what you mean. No matter how good you are, if you don''t like him, everything is in vain. Now several companies are asking about you openly and secretly. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "are you kidding? Which brand am I from? Why do so many people ask about me? "


    Feixu said, "why not? Your embroidery was praised by the empress dowager, the emperor and the queen in the palace. The golden osmanthus picture you gave to your wife is worth 2000 taels of silver. But my wife is not willing to sell. You''re from our family. You don''t have to mention the relationship with our marquis. We all know that you have saved the young master of the Han family. That''s the future master of the Han family. He also blocked the whip for the princess and made friends with the Fang family. These are all good connections. Moreover, you are now the elder sister of the master. Seeing your younger brother''s future is boundless, naturally someone is looking at you. However, those who are looking for you are only interested in your embroidery, which means that you have a deep relationship with Hou Fu. But none of them is for you, so my wife didn''t agree to any of them. "


    "I didn''t know I was so popular." Leisurely said some self mockery.


    Feixu said, "you are good-looking in the beginning, and you are a little better than ordinary officials in terms of insight and mind. Why belittle yourself? My wife said, "if you don''t come from a poor family, you will find a suitable family for you."


    Leisurely shook his head, "I didn''t want to marry a big family. I just wanted to marry a family with a simpler population." Feixu patted her hand with a smile. "In that case, isn''t it just right for him? The men of our family know the root and the bottom. They have lived in our house for a few months, and there is no gossip. At such an old age, there is no servant girl. It can be seen that she is a clean girl. Of course, the family is not as rich as the government, but there are also houses, shops and Chuang Tzu. It''s enough to live in leisure. What are you dissatisfied with? "


    Leisurely looking at Feixu, he said, "it''s because he''s so nice, he''s a great nephew of the marquis. Why should I marry a servant girl?"


    After listening to Feixu, she laughed. Leisurely annoyed pushed her, "what are you laughing at? What''s so funny? "


    See her angry look, catkins just a little convergence of some "good sister, I''m laughing at your fans.". As you all know, since he is the nephew of the Marquis, he has a closer relationship with the Marquis than you. Family background is not too bad, since it is a sincere marriage, what else can we do? It''s not for you


    On hearing this, leisurely ears suddenly became red. "Don''t talk nonsense. I haven''t met him several times. How can I, how can I take a fancy to me?"


    Feixu took her hand and said, "I wonder, too? Why do you take a fancy to you? I see, you look good, but I''m not bad either. If such a man likes me, I''ll marry me. I''ll be ten thousand anyway. "


    Leisurely angry at her one eye, "is it our Feixu elder sister also began to miss spring, in this case, why don''t you say with your wife, let her give you a good look?"


    Feixu gave her a push. "OK, don''t change your mind here. Anyway, I''ve said everything I should say. It''s up to you whether you like it or not. However, I still think this marriage is very good. You see, Mr. Ze has no other relatives in Beijing. His wife really hopes you''ve married. Even the people on the back street dare not say anything. I think you are used to being quiet at home. It''s a headache to marry someone else. Can you stand it? "


    At this time, Fangcao just brought two bowls of walnut dew and some snacks. "Walnut dew is ready. Let''s drink while it''s hot, miss and sister Feixu." They stopped talking.


    After a little sitting, Feixu got up and said goodbye, "madam, I should have been born these two days. I''ve been out for a while, so I have to go back quickly. If you don''t stay by your wife''s side, you always feel insecure. You can think about it yourself. Anyway, I think it''s a good thing. "


    Leisurely said, "look, I''m busy with you. Worry about this and worry about that. Don''t worry. I''ll think about it. By the way, I made some clothes for my wife''s unborn baby these days. It''s getting hotter and hotter. I made some sachets for the girls. Please take them back with me. " Feixu took the burden she handed over and left.


    Leisurely will she sent to chuihuamen, just want to go back to the room, see Enron there to explore. "What are you doing there? It''s spooky. "


    Enron followed her sister to her house and asked in a low voice, "sister, how are you thinking about this? Elder martial brother Shen is still waiting for my reply in the Academy. "

 Chapter 97

    Leisurely said, "are you in such a hurry to get your sister out? Besides, since ancient times, marriage affairs have been the words of matchmakers and the orders of parents. Just ask your mother. "


    Enron was stunned at first, and then overjoyed, "sister, did you agree? I''ll tell my mother first, and then I''ll tell elder martial brother Shen. "


    Lin''s mother was surprised when she heard her son''s words. "You didn''t deceive me. Although uncle Shen is your elder martial brother now, your elder sister comes from a servant girl after all. He doesn''t dislike it at all?"


    Enron said with a smile, "if you really dislike this, you won''t talk to me. Moreover, my mother saw him a little less often. I talked to my elder brother many times, knowing that he was always a kind of temperament, and I would not despise her birth. "


    Lin''s mother said, "I think uncle Shen, who is generous, gentle and polite, once thought about looking for such a son-in-law. However, when we think of our family''s situation, it is just a wishful thinking. As long as he really wants to marry, I have no opinion. Such a good son-in-law is hard to find. It''s just that you should find a matchmaker for such a big event, right


    Enron said, "it''s right. The matchmaker has been looking for it for a long time. But the elder martial brother said that we''d better talk about the relationship between our two families in private first. If our family is not willing, the matchmaker will come to our house rashly. I''m afraid it will embarrass several families. Now that we have agreed, there will be no more problems. "


    Lin Mu said, "I said," why did you suddenly ask for leave to go home, and after you came back, you were still whispering with your sister in that room for a long time? It''s about this. Does your sister have a problem? "


    Enron said, "sister said, listen to you old. You''ve always agreed, and she won''t mind any more. " Lin''s mother laughed and said nothing, but she knew that her daughter must have nodded before her son would tell her about it. Ah, it seems that the dowry for my daughter will be ready.


    Seeing that her sister nodded, Enron went to report a letter to Shen Ze. Shen Ze contacted the matchmaker and didn''t mention it. But the next morning, a grandmother from a family surnamed Li came to visit.


    Although Lin Mu was a little puzzled, she went to the Chuihua gate in person and said, "how can Granny Li come here when she has time? Sit in the room quickly. " Then he asked her to sit down in the hall.


    As soon as Grandma Li entered the room, she stood up and smiled at the ease of embroidering at the window. Granny Li looked up and down, leisurely "this is Lin Ju Ren''s sister, it''s really beautiful and extraordinary." She was only dressed in a pair of apricot yellow embroidered jade orchids, the white pleated skirt of the moon, the material is excellent soft satin, embroidery is also extremely exquisite, with two small flower mother of Pearl of plum blossom and a pair of Begonia flower red golden pearl hairpin inlaid with ruby, and a pair of Jasper round bracelets on her hand. The whole body is well dressed, and the smile on the face is more and more.


    Such unrestrained look, leisurely very do not like. Lin''s mother also saw her intention. She didn''t know who she was talking to? So he said with a smile, "how can Granny Li say that? Granny Li is flattered. "


    Granny Li said with a smile, "how can I be flattered? My girl is 15 years old this year. She looks OK on weekdays. She can be compared with your girls


    At this time, Fang Cao came and said, "Miss Hui, Miss Shen sent her servants to send some things." Leisurely smell speech, quickly leave out.


    The visitor is mother song, who often comes to the government to send things to leisurely. First, she says hello with a smile. Then he said, "yesterday, Feixu girl took the sachets and other things made by her to her house, and the girls liked them very much. It happened that someone in the house had brought some lychees and cherries and so on. The big girl said that she would send a basket each to invite her to have a taste. Another Princess got some palace fans a few days ago. She said she could see them, so she asked the old slave to bring two. The masters all said that now it''s so close, please go and play when you have time. "


    Leisurely smile should be under, and wrapped a red envelope to the woman, will be sent away.


    Fangcao came forward and asked, "girl, would you like to take some of these fruits to the main room for hospitality?" Leisurely forward body pause for a moment, said, "no, first take to the backyard, with well water up.". Not everyone can eat our fruit. " Then Shi ran went back to his room. Granny Li and Mrs. Lin said a few words about family customs. When she saw that there was no one else in the room, she said with a smile, "our two families live in the front and back streets. We should be very close. So, I don''t want to be polite. I''m here today to beg for my mother''s nephew. My nephew is 15 years old. He just passed the scholar examination last year. Although you can''t compare with Lin Ju people in your family, it''s still young. His family also has a thousand acres of good land, four into a big house. There are two brothers on it. They are all married. Your daughter doesn''t have to worry about her family when she marries. In the future, if my nephew can make more profits, he may not be able to be an official. "


    If there is no Shen Ze, this marriage sounds very good. After hearing this, Mrs. Lin said with a smile, "to tell you the truth, my daughter called me mother. But she grew up in front of Mrs. Shen when she was a child, and her love with Mrs. Shen is thicker than mine. Mrs. Shen said early on that the child''s marriage must be seen by her. Therefore, I can''t be the master here. In a word, there have been a lot of inquiries in recent days, but I haven''t answered them. I''m thinking of going to discuss with Mrs. Shen. "


    Just as he was talking, little stone came in from the outside. "Madam, madam Han from the Marquis''s house of Changping has come here and said that she wants to see her."


    Lin''s mother was stunned at first. After reacting for a while, she said with a smile, "please come in."


    Granny Li didn''t want the Lin family to have relations with other hous besides Zhongyi hous, although she wanted to stay and find out. But in the twinkling of an eye, I saw a large group of more than ten servant girls coming in with a lady with extraordinary bearing and gorgeous clothes. Seeing such a scene, Granny Li couldn''t stay any longer, so she said goodbye to mother Lin. Just passing by his wife Meng, she didn''t dare to look up at Meng''s face. She only remembered the Chaoyang five Phoenix hairpin with red treasure on Meng''s head. She had never seen such exquisite and complicated jewelry. For a moment, I felt a sense of shame.


    However, no one in the Lin family can take care of her thoughts at this time. Lin''s mother sends out the grass, and herself and leisurely welcome Mrs. han to the living room. "We are in the shaggy room. I never thought that Mrs. Han could kiss us again."


    Leisurely personally soaked a cup of Junshan silver needle that Meng liked. Meng took a sip. "This tea tastes very good. It''s better than what I often drink."


    Leisurely smile, "it was originally two cans of tea from Princess Le''an. I don''t like this very much. I keep it there all the time. If Madame likes it, she will take it all away

 Chapter 98

    After hearing this, Meng replied with a smile, "now that I know who the chief is, I''ll just go with sister Su some other day. You''d better keep it for yourself."


    After that, he said to his mother, "I like the child leisurely. He is generous and steady. Not to mention the appearance, the character alone is far more than everyone else. "


    Lin''s mother said modestly, "madam, I''m flattered. She can afford it."


    Meng put down his cup and said, "naturally, I can afford it. I have only one son and two concubines in my family, but it''s not from my stomach after all. I can''t be intimate. I really like leisurely''s quiet and gentle nature. I wonder if Mrs. Lin is willing to give up her love? "


    "What does Madame mean?" How strange that is.


    Meng took leisurely''s hand and said, "I really like leisurely. I want to take her as my adopted daughter. I don''t know if Mrs. Lin would like to."


    Smell speech, leisurely and Lin Mu all took a surprise. At this time, the adoptive mother is not just talking about it, it is to be serious. After they recognize their parents, they are not as good as their own daughters, but they all rely on the former ones. Lin mother hesitated for a moment, realizing that this matter is better for her daughter''s future, so she nodded busily, "if madam doesn''t dislike leisurely origin, our family can only be grateful."


    Meng looked at leisurely again. "To tell you the truth, my wife and I have been in love for many years. If you don''t dislike it, call me an adoptive mother. In the future, I will treat you as my own daughter. "


    Leisurely see Lin Mu nodded, because said "Lady don''t dislike leisurely Pu Liu''s posture, is leisurely blessing. How can there be a saying of disgust? "


    After hearing this, Meng leisurely said goodbye. He was still steady, not half arrogant, and liked it more. Then he took off a lanolin jade bracelet from his wrist. "It was given to me by an elder of my mother''s family before, but now it''s given to you, and it''s also our fate." The bracelet has warm luster, excellent color, and the shape is like coagulated fat. You can see that it''s not ordinary.


    However, she could not refuse such a gift, so she accepted it after thanking her again and again.


    The two families have agreed that April 26 is an excellent golden day. It''s a date to recognize relatives.


    It turned out that Shen Ze just wanted to ask Meng to help him as a matchmaker so as to get married. Meng also wanted to give birth to leisurely long face through this. Han Jin knew about this and said, "sister Lin has saved my life twice. I can''t say that she can help me in this life. Last time I went to Huangjue temple, I secretly showed the eight characters of elder sister Lin''s birthday to master kongdao. The master said that sister Lin''s life is a rare one with both fortune and wealth, that is, people around her will be more or less blessed. "


    When hearing this, Meng was surprised. "What else? What do you mean by that? Do you like that girl too? "


    Han Jin shook her head in tears and laughter, "mother, where do you want to go? I mean, if my mother doesn''t take her as her adopted daughter, we can take care of her and repay her kindness, and we can also get some blessing from her. Isn''t that a win-win situation for both of us? "


    At this time, people are still superstitious. Huangjue temple is also a royal temple. The masters in it are all eminent monks. Naturally, they don''t tell lies. In this way, Meng came here today to bring up the matter. As for the marriage promotion, it was naturally postponed until after the marriage was accepted, and the matchmaker invited someone else.


    After seeing off Meng, Lin''s mother looked at her daughter in surprise and said, "well, now that you have such an adoptive mother, no one will dare to underestimate your identity any more. Mrs. Han is really warm-hearted. It''s not in vain that you spared your life to save the son of the Han family. "


    Leisurely nodded, "it can be seen that good deeds will be rewarded." Then, Mrs. Lin worried again, "it''s not a long time. Since we have to recognize our relatives, we always have to prepare some gifts. That is, people don''t like it, but it has to be the best we can do. We can''t make people laugh. " Leisurely, he said, "well, it''s all right if the others come. Only this dress can be made at home. A few days ago, I made a pair of brocade clothes with blue crabapple pattern? It took nearly a month to prepare for Mrs. Shen''s birthday in autumn. Now I have to take it for the time being, just change the size. Shizi and his younger brother are similar in stature. He took out one of the two summer clothes he had made for his younger brother. Just make another dress for Han Hou. But, just a few days, it''s too late to make these shoes. "


    Lin''s mother asked, "do you have the size of their shoes? It happens that I embroidered two uppers for your brother and sister, but I haven''t got the sole yet. The embroidery is also exquisite. I''ll bring it to you later. If you like it, you can use it first. What can''t we wear? "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it can''t be too bad. It''s always bad. It''s too hard for people to see." Then, she wrote a post for Fangcao to send to Shen Fu. When Fangcao came back, she brought back the clothes size and shoes size of the Han family. Of course, leisurely and selectively ignored the size of the Han family''s children. It''s not her influence, but she saved Han Jin''s life several times, and indirectly killed their aunts. Needless to say, these people will not give her any good face, so she does not have to rush to look ugly.


    With the size of the shoes, Lin''s mother took the job of making shoes in the past. Leisurely, she only concentrated on making clothes for Han Songde, Marquis of Changping. Fortunately, men''s clothes are much simpler than women''s. It took her three or four days to get rid of her.


    On the 26th day, the sky was clear. The middle gate of the Marquis''s mansion in Changping was wide open, although no guests were invited. However, the Shen family, Fang Xinsu''s brothers and sisters, some Han family members, Meng''s mother''s family, including Lin Enron''s master Han Dishi and his daughter Leyao county leader were all present. Only because the day is coming, Han dare not go out, Rao is so, this scene has to be lively.


    Surrounded by the crowd, he knelt on the futon and kowtowed to Han Songde and his wife. He also presented gifts to the couple and Han Jin, including a set of clothes, a pair of shoes, a hat, some fresh fruits in season, some snacks and four pieces of silk. These silks and satins were all found from the materials Fang Xinsu gave her. They were all high-quality silks and satins. They ripple in the sun, and you can see that they are of great value.


    The couple of marquis Changping were very satisfied with the exquisite and decent things leisurely gave them. After the couple accepted the things, they naturally gave back a pair of silver bowls and chopsticks, a long-life lock made of red gold and silk inlaid with red agate, and two exquisite clothes, shoes and socks. Meng personally put on the long life lock for you ran, which is very suitable for you ran to wear today.


    Then she introduced her close relatives to her one by one.

 Chapter 99

    Many of them have seen leisurely before, but now their identities are different, so their names are different. In particular, Han Jin took the lead in calling her sister, and the rest of the people had to change their name. A fan cover is for the brothers, and a pair of purse is for the sisters. In addition, some of the relatives of the clan gave them their usual purses and handkerchiefs. Everyone wanted to give a gift back. Needless to say, her needlework was praised by all the people after they saw something. There was a girl who was not angry in her heart, and she didn''t dare to say anything more.


    Although Youran was born as a servant girl, her younger brother is Jieyuan, a new comer this year. She is a promising young man, and Lin''s mother has a good sense of speech. This family is quite impressive. People deeply feel that this family is not vulgar, and now it has a big backing. It can not be said that it will really prosper one day. As a result, everyone was quite friendly. A wedding banquet passed peacefully.


    Meng said to Lin''s mother, "I also cleaned up a yard for her in this house and sent several servant girls to guard. After a while, I''ll send someone to pick her up for a few days. You can''t bear to part with her then. "


    Lin''s mother replied with a smile, "I''m a country woman with limited knowledge. If she can learn something from her wife, it''s her blessing. I''ll never be unhappy again." Seeing that Lin''s mother was so modest, Meng''s heart was quite appropriate.


    Seeing leisurely identity rise a layer again, some people who didn''t look up to her had some ideas. It''s just that Shen Ze''s official media have already arrived before they can react.


    Because the Lin family had been prepared for a long time, they just hesitated on purpose and refused once before they came down. The next day, Shen Ze insisted on a pair of wild geese who came up to the mountain in person and asked the matchmaker to come to propose with gifts. The two sides exchanged Geng tie and keepsake.


    After Shen Ze asked the fortune teller to read the letter, the two sides made a decision on June 18.


    At the same time, Lin''s mother began to prepare a leisurely dowry. The Han family said that the furniture in leisurely''s dowry was provided by their family. In this way, the things that Lin Mu has to prepare are limited. Rao is so. Lin''s mother doesn''t want to aggrieve her daughter on the dowry. After winning the Jieyuan prize, the county rewarded her with 200 taels of silver, and the academy also rewarded her with 100 taels. In addition to the gifts given by other relatives and friends, there are more than 2000 taels of silver in cash. Lin''s mother thinks that leisurely already has 100 mu of land. She will spend hundreds of taels of silver to buy a small shop for her, and the cost will be enough for her to chew everyday.


    Just thinking about this, the Houfu sent someone to deliver a letter saying that Han Ping''an had given birth to a boy with a total weight of six Jin and eight Liang. Leisurely was very happy to hear that. Now Han is also her aunt, so she said to the visitor, "go back and tell my wife that I will go to Han''s house with my parents on the third day." Then let the grass wrapped a big red envelope to the man.


    Three days later, Zhongyi Marquis Shen''s house was full of guests. Although Shen Mingchang had three sons, they were all common sons. Now that he is over 30 years old, he has his own son, and he is very happy. Although some people in Ninghui hall are not happy, they can''t stand it. They are all smiling. What''s more, Shen Mingchang''s return is more dignified than before. No matter how dissatisfied she is, she only dares to murmur a few words behind her back. On a day like today, I can only squeeze out a smile to sit on the top.


    Leisurely came early, most of the guests didn''t arrive. Because she is unmarried girl''s home, should not enter the delivery room, then outside the screen to Han please Ann. Meng left a little sister-in-law to talk, and then went to di Cui Zhai.


    As soon as he saw her, Fang Xinsu covered his mouth and began to smile. "After that, do I call your cousin or your cousin? It''s really embarrassing. "


    Leisurely stare at her, "used to make fun of me, you laugh at me, who knows how long it will become me laugh at you?"


    Seeing that she was annoyed, Fang Xinsu straightened her face and pulled her to the couch to sit down. "I was thinking about your character and appearance. If I had a narrower vision, I would not be happy in my life. I often hear my younger brother mention cousin Shen Ze. I always praise him for his demeanor, not pedantry, not affectation, not high or low family background. I''m so happy to see that you''ve got something for life. " Leisurely slightly bent the corners of his mouth, "I don''t know if it''s suitable now, let''s see later!"


    Fang Xinsu took her hand and said, "with your character, the days in the future will always be the same." At this time, coral into said, "big girl heard that Miss Lin is coming, please two over."


    So two people accompanied to Shen Tian''s cloud Shuxuan, just the other sisters are also here. Everyone has already known about leisurely engagement. Although it has not been settled yet, it has been settled after Xiaoding and Bazi. So after seeing leisurely, they all covered their mouths and looked at her smile. Shen Xiangsu is the fastest one. He said at the beginning, "this has just changed from sister Qingliu to a cousin, and it won''t be long before she becomes a sister-in-law. You don''t flatter our sister-in-law in a hurry. "


    Leisurely and calmly said, "since the girl knows that she will call my sister-in-law, she should come to flatter me. In case the girl suffers any grievance or embarrassment in her mother''s family, don''t you still have to let her mother''s sister-in-law show up to you? "


    Rao is Shen Xiangsu''s shrewdness. I didn''t expect that leisurely should be so generous. He talked about his mother-in-law''s family without changing his face. However, Shen lianzhiji took the tea from the servant girl and handed it to leisurely. "I don''t care about other people. I''ll ask elder sister Lin to take care of me in the future." Leisurely smile took the cup, "three girls, don''t worry, it is you don''t give me tea, can I stand by your business?" The whole room laughed.


    Only Shen Ying can see that leisurely was just a little servant girl at the beginning, but now she wants to be their grandmother, even if she only married a side branch. Shen Ze has always been valued by his father. After Lin Youran got married, he would be relied on by the Han family. As soon as she thought of calling a maid to be her sister-in-law in the future, Shen Ying felt that she should be very happy.


    Just as she was talking, a woman came in and said, "there are some close relatives outside. Madam, please go out."

 Chapter 100

    In the inner room of Yuehua courtyard, Han looked at the little person like dough around him and couldn''t help crying with joy. Meng, sitting next to her, quickly took a handkerchief and helped her dry her tears. "Good sister, I know what you''ve done in your heart over the years. Heaven has eyes. Is it really Tailai now? With this unicorn, your fortune is still to come. Don''t let tears flow in the confinement. Be careful to fall ill. "


    Han inhaled his nose and put down the tears in his eyes. "Sister in law, when I see brother Hong, I can''t help thinking of brother Hao. He was also like this at that time, a little warm ball, he would call Niang when he left. As a result, he was harmed by the venomous woman with a snake heart. "


    Meng was surprised. "Sister, you already know? Just found out that, I think you are pregnant, after all, this matter is too much to say with you, only let your brother and brother-in-law said Han said, "I know my sister-in-law''s worries, but I can''t be deaf or blind in this house. I sent someone to find out the cause and effect soon after Zhang was sent to Chuang Tzu. For the sake of the baby in my stomach, I swallowed this breath. My sister-in-law, I treat her well, because she is my mother''s maid. She was allowed to give birth to a son and a daughter to consolidate her position. Who would have thought that she would repay her kindness like this. Kill my eldest son, not to mention my second son. I will never let her off lightly. "


    Hearing this, Meng sighed, "I know what you''re thinking, but now that you''ve just finished the production, it''s time to take good care of your body. Don''t worry too much. It''s still a long time to come. We''ll take revenge slowly. It''s not urgent. Say, if not leisurely found that abnormal potted flowers, is not I also almost their way? I just think that their family are all old servants, and they always show loyalty. He never filled his own pocket. He didn''t think that what others had in mind was bigger. He ran to the two Marquis''s titles. Now think about it, I feel cold teeth. I never thought that the servants around me would have such a mind. "


    Han nodded, "yes, I always feel that the maid I bought outside is not as reliable as these children. But you see, leisurely is not bought outside? The best way is to repay the kindness, loyalty and bravery. When she comes out, I''ll make up for her. "


    Meng said with a smile, "isn''t it? If it were not for her, how many years ago Jin Ge''er would have been killed? This time, we saved a big family. I thought that no matter how much gold and silver she was given, her identity would be underestimated after all. If you don''t accept her as your adopted daughter, you will not only repay your kindness, but also really like the child''s character. You can''t bear to let her be despised. "


    "Isn''t it? That child is really a good one. To be honest with my sister-in-law, I had this idea at first, but I didn''t speak rashly when I saw that zege''er was a little different to her. Now her sister-in-law has accepted her as her adopted daughter, and she has made an appointment with zege''er. When she gets married, she will give her some dowry. Later, she will be married to the Shen family. I''ll watch her, and I won''t be angry with her when I wait for others. " Han said.


    Meng said with a smile, "you are right. You also have a Tian sister. I don''t have a direct daughter, and the two common girls are not very close. It''s nothing for me to give her the standard of my daughter''s marriage, and my family is not bad for the silver. But her family still has her own mother, and the family background of the Lin family is there. If I make up too much, I''ll look like I''m born. Therefore, we only take over the furniture, and then add a small Chuang Tzu and a few sets of exquisite headgear. The rest can be seen by the dowry given by your family and the private house she has saved. "


    Han nodded. "She doesn''t have to worry about her dowry. Just a few things from the palace are decent enough."


    Meng Shiwen covered his mouth with a smile. "It''s also true that the things in the palace, whether they are worth money or not, can''t be more respectable. It is not necessary for an ordinary official lady to have such dignity. "


    Thanks to Han''s advice, most of them are close friends and relatives in the family. Therefore, Shen Tian secretly instructs leisurely. Leisurely is very grateful.


    After the three banquets, leisurely was detained by Lin''s mother at home to do the sewing for the engagement. Fortunately, she had seen Shen Ze, and it was also a big event, so she had to do it with her heart.


    In the twinkling of an eye, on June 28, Enron and his master asked for leave early in the morning. Even the eldest uncle and his wife and aunt who were far away from home also arrived. Xiuyun and tingran came between the sisters. My uncle''s second cousin came down this time, too. It''s a pity that he didn''t pass the exam. But my nephew passed the examination, which is also a very glorious thing. Therefore, the uncle''s family did not feel disappointed. This time, they came to Beijing happily to attend their niece''s engagement banquet. As leisurely''s adoptive mother, Meng also arrived in person. Because Shen Ze had no parents, Han, who had just been out of confinement, came to the scene in person as his elder. Han saw that although Lin''s house was not big, it was clean and meticulous. When he met Lin''s mother, he had to praise it. Lin''s mother said with a smile, "I didn''t understand this. Fortunately, both of them had their own ideas, so I took care of them."


    Han''s smile: "this is your blessing, the children are promising, just enjoy the future." Then the big guy chatted again.


    Lin''s mother had to introduce her sister-in-law and sister-in-law to Han and Meng. Although they were all outstanding in their own village, they had never seen Mrs. Houmen''s bearing. But fortunately, several people have read some poems and books, so they did not flinch. Han and Meng are relatives of the Lin family. Although they are both farmers and readers, their conversation is quite straightforward. They are neither vulgar nor servile. They are a little satisfied. To be turned to see tingran two, can''t help but praise two, and ordered people to present table ceremony. There is no such custom at home. When they saw Lin''s mother nodding slightly, they both took things away.


    After a while, it was auspicious time, leisurely in the grass and willow leaves surrounded by came out. Today is a good day for her. Naturally, her clothes are more solemn and gorgeous than before. The red background is embroidered with Xiaying yarn with yellow hibiscus flowers, and the pink cocoon silk middle garment is decorated with pomegranate red pleated skirt. A head of black hair with only a few small flower hairpin up, but more show a bit picturesque.


    It''s rare for people to see her dress like this. When Han saw her, he gave her a little smile and inserted a red hairpin with Begonia pattern on her sideburns, which made her more beautiful and graceful. Han''s not stingy praise a few words, and let people present a set of red gold head with pearls, a set of silver head, a pair of jade bracelets, a total of eight pieces of silk and satin, two clothes, two Jin of tea and some snacks.


    Lin''s mother didn''t expect her future son-in-law to be so generous. This set of red gold face alone is worth five or six hundred taels of silver. Then he took it with a smile, and handed the needle and thread leisurely made for the man to Han. In this way, it is considered a rite of passage.

 Chapter 101

    At noon, the Lin family had to hold a banquet for all the guests. The banquet was arranged in the restaurant early in the morning, which saved Mrs. Lin a lot of worries.


    Leisurely now it''s not easy to entertain guests outside, so she set up a table in her room to entertain her two sisters.


    The wending gifts from the Shen family happened to be sent to this room. Tingran looked at the exquisite red gold silk head and said with envy, "I am satisfied to have one or two kinds of jewelry in my life. The last time sister Yulian was engaged, the man just sent a set of seven or eight pieces of gold jewelry without jewelry, which made the villagers envy for a long time. If you have a gift in the village today, don''t you know what it''s like to be envied? "


    After hearing this, he said, "what''s the point? It''s just something outside. If you want me to say that as long as you have a good character and are willing to make progress, you will find that other places are weaker. What''s the point? Both sisters are blessed, and they will be no worse in the future. "


    Rao is two people under some slight jealousy, now listen to this words also can''t help but deepen a smile.


    Because leisurely is still young, and Shen Ze wants to prepare for the Spring Festival of the next year, the marriage between the two families is tentatively scheduled for the beginning of the next year. But after wending, the two families were serious relatives. Shen Ze often sent servants and wives to deliver things, but they didn''t have much valuables. Most of them were home pickles and seasonal fruits. Know leisurely like dill, that time also let a person taohuan two pots of good white Begonia come over, also be quite thoughtful. Of course, since the marriage is settled, leisurely is also willing to have a good relationship with her future husband. She often makes some needlework and snacks for her younger brother to take. Only Enron is often not angry. In the past, his elder sister only gave him one opposite sex to make clothes. Now, in addition to his future brother-in-law, there is also his elder sister''s adoptive father. The number of times that he can wear his elder sister''s sewing is getting less and less


    Although there is no specific date for the wedding, it is time to prepare all kinds of dowries, especially clothes, purses and other time-consuming items. Among them, the most important is the wedding dress. This year, even ordinary women with a little spare money will spend more than half a year on making a wedding dress.


    One of the wending gifts Shen Ze sent that day was a bright red Hangzhou silk with a dark pattern of silver and water grass. You can see that the material is not ordinary. And it''s dark pattern, so it''s more harmonious to embroider patterns on it. Leisurely cut it by herself, and she felt anxious to start making wedding clothes now. Moreover, she didn''t think about what pattern to embroider. So he put away the material, took out another piece of material, and began to lay the curtain first. Nowadays, everything has to be done by hand. Fortunately, after the release, Meng gave her a big two small three servant girls. Afraid of her uneasiness, she chose the servant who bought it from outside. The big maid was originally a second-class maid in Meng''s courtyard. Her name was Yutan. She was only 13 years old this year, but she was quite steady. Although her needlework was not as leisurely as that of Lin Mu, she was no better than Lin Mu. With her help, she not only shared the leisurely work, but also easily adjusted the willow leaves and grass. Now, the little maids of the Lin family are quite good at their manners.


    On the other side of Zhongyi Marquis''s house, the Han family is also discussing with Shen Mingchang about the dowry of their eldest daughter. Han said, "the fifth Prince has a heart. As soon as the prince''s palace was built, he sent someone to ask Tian what kind of flowers she likes, so that the gardener can plant some. He also quietly sent someone over the design of the main courtyard of the second gate, saying that if there is anything unsatisfactory, just open your mouth, and let the craftsmen change it when it''s cheaper to start construction now. Rao Shitian sister is not good at this moment, this idea is rare. In the past, I only heard about the prince, the Grand Prince and the third prince, but not about the fifth prince. I was afraid that the fifth prince would not want to marry him. Now it seems that I know it in my heart. I can be a little relieved that my sister Tian will marry in the future. "


    Shen Mingchang twisted his beard and said, "madam, you don''t have to worry too much. As long as our loyal Marquis''s house stands still, even if she is married to the royal family, she won''t be wronged. In my opinion, the fifth Prince is very thorough and will treat Tian well. Our daughter is also open-minded and has been taught by a wife over the past few years. Seeing that his behavior is becoming more and more stable, I think the future will not be so bad. By the way, since the prince''s mansion is almost finished, the fifth Prince is two years older than Tian''s sister. I think they will get married by the end of next year at the latest. What''s the matter with Tian''s dowry? " Han got up, took out a list from the makeup box and handed it to her husband. He frowned slightly and said, "I''ve prepared it for her since she was born. If you marry someone of the right family, that''s enough. Now I really want to marry the royal family. I always feel that it''s getting thinner. " After looking at the list carefully, Shen Mingchang said, "all the things on this list add up to nothing more than 20000 taels of silver. It''s not much. Should we still have money in our house? "


    Han was angry at him for a moment. "Naturally, there is money in the house, but Tian is not the only child in our family. Even if she is married to the royal family, it''s not too special. The rule of our family is that the legitimate daughter will go out of the cabinet for ten thousand Liang. The private rooms given by other parents are not included. It''s just headgear, bedding and furniture, just daily necessities. I want to give her the two shops in my dowry and the Chuang Tzu in Tongzhou, plus the Chuang Tzu in Jinzhou, which my master originally gave me. These properties add up to a thousand taels of profit every year. Plus ten thousand taels of silver, it will be enough for her to spend in the royal family. "


    Shen Mingchang said, "madam, why do you have to do this? Is it hard to be Tian''s sister is not my child? Why do you use your private room to make up the big head? Even though there are such rules in the mansion, Tian''s sister is married to the royal family now, which is not comparable. Put away your private room and keep your own flowers. Give her the Chuang Tzu in Baiyunshan and the Chuang Tzu in Yizhou, plus the two shops on Mingtong street, and then take ten thousand taels of silver notes from the cashier to press the bottom of the box. As a father, I gave her 3000 taels of gold tickets and two shops on the other side of Jinling in private. In this way, we can get by. "


    The reason why Han said that just now was that she wanted to help her daughter ask for more dowry, but she didn''t expect Shen Mingchang to be so generous this time. "Hou ye, is there too much? After all, Tian has several younger brothers and sisters. "


    "They are just common people. Each of them has eight thousand yuan. Brother Hong is still young. We still have more than ten years to save money for him. It''s hard for Tian to get married to the royal family, so we parents have to pay more on the dowry. " Shen Mingchang returned.


    Hearing this, Han nodded, "since the Lord is so generous, I will thank him for my daughter." Shen Mingchang patted her hand and said, "our dear husband and wife, why bother to say these words. Another thing, when I was in Fuzhou, I made a lot of red sandalwood and yellow pear furniture. When I went to Beijing to report on my work, I didn''t bring it back because I was too busy. Two days ago, the goods have been delivered to Tianjin. I have asked zege''er to pick up the goods. It is estimated that they will be delivered tomorrow. At that time, you can choose some good ones and put them in Tian''s dowry. You can arrange the rest. "

 Chapter 102

    After listening to this, Han immediately clapped his hands and said, "the master didn''t tell me earlier. Now the excellent red sandalwood and huanghuali are more and more rare. I''ve sent people to visit for many years, but I managed to collect a whole set of huanghuali furniture. There are few red sandalwood furniture. If I marry to an ordinary family, it''s not very respectable to marry to the royal family. I thought I''d collect some from my mother''s and my dowry and get another set of purple sandalwood furniture. I didn''t expect that the Marquis would come quietly. I''m tired. I''ve done some useless work. "


    Shen Mingchang said with a quick smile, "this batch of things are also made by coincidence. There are some twists and turns in them. I''m also afraid that things will be delayed if they don''t come back. As you just said, it''s hard to find these woods now. Even if she can''t use them alone, she can keep them for brother Hong. In addition, there are two children, su''er and jane''er. In the future, they will have to be helped by us. No matter how many sets they have, they won''t be too many. "


    Wen Yan Han''s heart just comfortable some, she exhibition Yan way "so say is concubine body misunderstanding Hou Ye." She was afraid that Shen Mingchang would say that the wood was meant to supplement the children of the common people.


    Shen Mingchang waved his hand and said, "this time, there are also some nourishing things such as the first-class blood swallow. My wife has to take care of brother Hong and keep the housekeeper. It''s really hard, but it''s better to have a healthy life."


    As soon as Han was about to say thanks, he heard Feixu reply outside the curtain, "reply to Mr. and Mrs. Hou, and Mr. Xu from the front yard sent someone to pass it on, saying that he had something important to discuss with Hou."


    Hearing the speech, Shen Mingchang stood up and said, "I''ll go and have a look. Madam, I don''t have to wait for my meal." Then he walked out with a big step. Han looked at the sky and said, "go and tell the big kitchen to prepare a table of exquisite dishes and send them to the outer study." I have a little servant girl to smell the words.


    After a while, Shen Mingchang''s young man came over with two brocade boxes and said with a smile, "if you go back to your wife, this is from the Lord Hou. The Lord Hou said that the peony box is for the big girl, and the pattern box is for the lady. Please accept it."


    Feixu took the box and handed it to Han. Han was not in a hurry to open the box, but said with a smile, "if the Marquis leaves Mr. Xu for dinner in the evening, please advise him not to drink too much wine. Mr. Xu likes to drink pear blossom white. He is a strong drinker. He will prepare some flower carvings for the marquis. " Then let fly catkins took a purse to reward him, the boy promised to go.


    When Han opened the box in his hand, he saw that in the brocade box with the peony pattern were the real estate and gold and silver tickets mentioned by Shen Mingchang just now. Han counted them again and found that there were two more silver tickets with a thousand taels in it. I think they were added. Although Shen Mingchang gave these things to his daughter, Han decided to give her all the things she had taken out of her dowry. Silver tickets and land deeds are all taken with you. No matter how much dowry is on Duoming''s face, it won''t surpass the Crown Princess and the great imperial concubine in front of you. Women, no matter where they are, have money and feel secure.


    When I opened the second box, I saw a five hundred taels gold ticket and two five thousand taels silver tickets. In addition, there is a small box with the size of palm, in which there are more than 20 bright red and pure pigeon blood rubies. Several big ones are as big as litchi, and the small ones are as big as lotus seeds. They are full of brocade boxes, and Han''s face is ruddy.


    Although there are some red treasures in my private room, their size and color are not as good as those in front of me. Han picked out half of the box and handed it to Feixu. "I prepared several sets of rubies for Tian''s sister, and the stones on her head are not as neat as this. Put them away and take them to the big brother''s gold shop tomorrow. Let renhesheng make a set of head for Tian''s sister. Gold doesn''t have to be heavy. It''s lighter and more careful. "


    As a result, the brocade box said with a smile, "don''t worry, madam. Master Yu''s craftsmanship is the most exquisite. Such a good red treasure is that you don''t say it, he promises to make a set of exquisite jewelry."


    Han chuckled. "That''s true."


    The next day, just after noon, a group of well-dressed young men drove more than ten carriages into the side door of Zhongyi Marquis''s house.


    Shen Mingchang has not been appointed by the imperial court since he won the imperial court. He has been idle at home. If the Emperor didn''t often invite him to talk in Yangxin hall, outsiders would think that Zhongyi Hou was out of favor. After being informed by the porter, he strides to the front hall. Shen Ze was sitting there. Seeing him coming, he quickly stands up and says, "please give my uncle good-bye. Fortunately, I have carried all my things back."


    Looking at his dusty appearance, Shen Mingchang nodded, "OK, you''ve worked hard. First go to the guest house to wash and have some lunch. It''s not too late for us to talk." Shen Ze is also not polite, promised to turn around and go. Although he no longer lives in this house, the courtyard where he used to live is still vacant for him.


    Shen Mingchang took a look at the boxes of things carried to the front hall, pointed to some of them and said, "let''s carry them with the furniture to the lady."


    After getting the news yesterday, Han sent someone to clean up a small cross yard beside his main yard. There were only four West chambers and two inverted seats in it. It was just right for the warehouse. The next people unpacked and cleaned the furniture one by one, and Fang carried it into the second door. Han looked at the pieces in front of him, but he couldn''t help nodding to himself. These furniture are not only made of superior wood, but also more exquisite than those in the capital.


    At this time, Feixu came over and said, "madam, these furniture can''t be finished for a while and a half. Madam, if you don''t go to the house to rest, you can wait until they have finished moving. Although it has been a month, but now it is not a hundred days, the wife or more maintenance is good. What''s more, the Marquis over there also asked people to send in some boxes. Madam, you might as well put them in to have a look. "


    Han said with a smile, "I thought that mammy Qi would go back to the south to visit her relatives. I could be quiet at least. I didn''t expect that you are more nagging now than mammy Qi He complained like this. He turned around and said to the woman in charge beside him, "take care here. Let the boys be careful. They''d rather move slowly than bump. What''s more, let them move gently. Don''t wake up brother Hong. " That old woman son busily does not stack of promise "Madam although don''t worry, the maidservant certainly well stares at them."


    Feixu, holding Han''s arm gently, said with a smile, "when mammy Qi left, she told her to take good care of her wife. I can''t be more careful. If I don''t, I''ll be a slave when mammy Qi comes back Han gently touched her forehead, "you girl."


    In a moment, when they returned to the hall of the main courtyard, they saw seven or eight big boxes on the ground. Han waved his hand, and then a servant girl came forward to open the box one by one. Rao is a well-known Han, and he was dazzled by the jewels in the box for a while. She couldn''t help thinking of the rumor that her husband had just returned to Beijing. At that time, there was a rumor in Beijing that Shen Mingchang had taken the Treasury of Jinsha state and privately swallowed it. At that time, Han thought it was really a rumor. Now looking at these things, she is not sure.

 Chapter 103

    Although it''s normal for the leading generals to be ignorant of such things in private, there are too many of them. You know, Shen Mingchang didn''t bring much with him when he returned to Beijing, but he also had thirty or forty large boxes. In addition to four or five boxes of local local instruments, there were more than ten boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy, painting, antiques and other things for Han, which were worth about seventy-eight thousand taels of silver.


    Nowadays, there are not many boxes, but the contents are excellent. Among them, the most eye-catching is a pair of red coral bonsai, which are three feet high. They are bright and dazzling. There is also a pair of lotus ornaments carved with jadeite, which are transparent in color and exquisite in craftsmanship.


    Fortunately, there are only a few confidants in this room, such as Feixu and Baishao. As soon as I saw these things, Baishao stepped back to the door to guard. Feixu personally went forward to open some brocade boxes inside. One of the boxes was full of various kinds of jewelry, such as coral bracelets, pearl collars and jade bracelets. It was full of four or five big boxes. Without inlaid gems, there are four full boxes, a big box of South China Sea pearls and a box of East pearl. In addition, there is a box full of exquisite head, all kinds of gold, silver, pearls and jade materials, set by set in exquisite carving boxes. The rest of the scattered pieces of jewelry beads are countless. There is also a box full of precious herbal supplements. Those big bags of top-grade blood swallows are a little insignificant against the background of several Ganoderma lucidum strains and hundred year old ginseng.


    After reading the things, Han felt a little frightened, and immediately ordered Feixu to "send these things to the East Chamber in person, and make a list of all the things in it one by one. I''ll go to the front yard and find Mr. Hou Feixu promised to do it in person.


    Here, Shen Mingchang is chatting with Shen Ze, who has just had lunch, in his study. He hears that his wife has come back. Shen Mingchang said to Shen Ze with a smile, "your aunt must have been a little scared when she saw something. I have two boxes packed up there. You can take them away later. Don''t refuse." Shen Ze had no choice but to bow his body to express his thanks. "In that case, the nephew would not be polite to his uncle."


    Just as he was talking, he saw that Han came in alone. Shen Ze got up to see him and said with a smile, "I think my aunt must have some private words to say to my uncle. My nephew will not be in the way here. I''ll leave first."


    At this time, Han''s heart is full of ups and downs, Wen Yan just pulled the corner of his mouth, "you just came back from the outside, you can have a rest after you go back." Shen Ze answered with a smile. After the ceremony, he turned and went out.


    As soon as he left, Han said to her husband, "it''s spring Wei after the new year. It''s time for zege''er to devote himself to studying hard in the cold window. You uncle are looking for some chores to delay other people''s efforts." Shen Mingchang said with a smile, "don''t worry. His master says that his time is up. If he works too hard, he will lose his spirit. Madam, I''m afraid it''s not about zege''er, is it


    Han rushed all the boys outside the gate to the gate of the courtyard. Then he sat down and said, "I just saw those things. I think the Marquis really took the Treasury of Jinsha state and then embezzled it. If it''s spread out, will it do harm to the Marquis? "


    After hearing this, Shen Mingchang shook his head with a smile. "Don''t worry, madam. No matter how small the Jinsha country is, it has been several hundred years since it was founded, and its sea trade has always been developed. How can there be only such an idea in the Treasury? These are just what I deserve. "


    "Not counting the hundred thousand gold and silver tickets that the Marquis brought back last time, there are about one hundred thousand things alone. After nearly a hundred years of inheritance, the gold and silver in the storehouse are only worth the money. When I accept these things, I just feel that my heart is "fluttering" and my family doesn''t lack these things. I''m afraid that outsiders will fall in love with the Lord because of these structures. " Han is still worried.


    Shen Mingchang reached out and took her to his arms. "Otherwise, the honourable families who have always made military contributions are not short of money. Don''t worry, madam. All these things have passed the Ming Road in the holy place. The holy old man knows it in his heart. Although there are so many of these things, they are just a drop in the bucket compared with the things that have been put into the private treasury of the emperor. You just keep it at ease. If you don''t feel at ease, just pick a few eyelashes and put them in Tian''s dowry. It''s really stingy for the royal family to marry a daughter-in-law, but if you give me some clothes, you''ll marry our baby. If you don''t say it, you''ll have to put on such things... "After hearing this, Han''s family just" puffed "and laughed out," it''s OK for you to talk about it at home. If it''s spread out, you can''t be laughed at. All along, if a girl in the family is married to the royal family, which family does not think it is the glory of the whole family? Not to mention the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine, is married to the general family, the rest of the girls in this family are also to be looked up at. At this point, the younger Ying girls are not too young, and now there are not a few people who come to ask for marriage. What''s the Constitution in your heart? You should talk to me. I''ve been planning for a long time


    Shen Mingchang said, "I can trust my wife''s eyes, but now that there is a prince in the court, the rest of the princes are not fuel-efficient lamps. The families that my wife selected for her last time are very good. They have a clean family background, and the children are progressive. "


    Hearing the words, Han felt that they had been ironed for a few minutes, and said, "thank you so much for your letter. It''s just that I look at Ying''s sister and feel dissatisfied? After all, there are also many families of princes who have come to ask for marriage recently. "


    Shen Mingchang said with a sneer, "since men and women have been married, they always pay attention to" the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker. "There is no reason for her to choose by herself. It can''t be decided by her temperament. Now she would rather put more dowries on her to find a family with a clean family background than marry her to those with ulterior motives. I know that Ying''s sister has been a little resentful in recent years, but she is my Shen''s daughter after all. A common woman is nothing. If something really happens, it means that she will be removed from the family, which will eventually affect the reputation of our family. I''ll have to take care of it, madam. "


    Han nodded and said, "don''t worry, master. I''ll save it." She had planned to marry Shen Ying to a prince''s mansion with a beautiful appearance. But now that Shen Mingchang has said so, she has to give her husband some face and find her a family with a clean family.


    But Shen Ze was not shocked to see the gold and silver in the box when he came home with his things. At the beginning, he helped Shen Mingchang transcribe the pamphlet and knew how much he had got. Shen Ze picked out a few pieces of exquisite jewelry and clothes, and brought some earth things back from Tianjin, and sent them to the Lin family.

 Chapter 104

    Since Enron was elected, there have been more and more people in the Lin family. Although there are many servant girls in the family, in the future, when her daughter gets married, she will take most of them with her. Lin''s mother makes the decision and buys two little boys and a woman who does chores from outside.


    The two new boys are called Defu and Degui. They always follow old Liu to do some chores. Today, old Liu Tou is taking them to trim several osmanthus trees at the gate. Hearing the sound of the horse''s hooves, I turned around and saw that my uncle was riding a horse, followed by his little fellow.


    Old Liu head quickly assigned Defu to go in and pass the news. He went forward and took the reins. "Uncle is coming, please come inside."


    Now it''s early July. Although it''s not as sultry as June, it''s still hot and dry. Shen Ze went home from Hou Fu and changed his clothes. Here, his sweat soaked his back.


    Hearing the news, Lin''s mother had already arrived at the front hall. Seeing her son-in-law coming, she said with a smile, "on such a hot day, if there''s anything for people to send, it''s also worth when you come to see it in person." Then he said to the grass standing on one side, "there is a new dress I just made for angel in my room. Go and get it and change it for my uncle."


    Shen Ze said with a smile, "Auntie doesn''t have to be so polite. She''ll do it after a while." Lin''s mother told her little servant girl to take sour plum soup and said, "it''s just a suit, but it''s not the same at home. How hard it is to sweat and stick to the body like this? Why is this meeting coming? I can still have lunch here when I come here at noon. "


    Shen Ze said, "I went to Jinmen for some business and just came back at noon. It happened that I brought some seafood back from there. It''s hot and I dare not make it live. It''s all dry goods. It''s very good to eat by myself or give it away. "


    Lin Mu had just seen the baskets and said with a smile, "since I have brought them, I''ll take them. Next time, I won''t spend money like this. How much can we eat at home? It''s time to send some to the Marquis and your master. "


    Shen Ze replied, "don''t worry, auntie. I''ve already sent them." Lin''s mother said with a smile, "I know you''re a sensible person. I''m just asking in vain." Pointing to the sour plum soup just brought up by the little servant girl, he said, "try this sour plum soup. It''s made by Youjie herself. You just came back from the outside. I dare not give you ice. It''s warm. It''s good for your health. "


    After running for most of the day, Shen Ze was really thirsty. When he took a sip from a teacup, the sour plum soup was not as sweet as he thought, but had a special refreshing smell. It was quite pleasant to drink, and Shen Ze drank it all at once.


    Lin''s mother-in-law is more satisfied with her son-in-law. With Shen Ze''s insincere flattery, they are quite opportunistic.


    At this time, Fang Cao came over with a bundle of clothes and said with a smile, "when I went to pick up the clothes, I happened to meet the young lady reading in the garden. After listening to the words of the young lady, I said that the young master''s clothes might be shorter. He took out his clothes and said that they had just been made for my uncle recently, and that they were just changed for my uncle. "


    Hearing this, Lin''s mother said with a smile, "since she has made it for you, go and change it. I''ll ask them to wash the clothes you''ve changed. You can eat before you go, and then you''ll be dry. " Finish saying, then shout expensive to come in, let him lead Shen Ze to Enron''s room to change clothes.


    On the day of engagement, Shen Ze already had two clothes made by herself. I don''t know whether it''s her exquisite craftsmanship or her mentality. Shen Ze only thinks that the clothes she made by herself are comfortable and fit, and Shen Ze is not willing to wear them. Today, it''s a sky blue cocoon silk gown, with fan cover and purse of suitable color. It''s embroidered with a few clumps of ink bamboo. The color is light and elegant. Shen Ze feels that it''s especially hot pressed before he gets on.


    As soon as the dirty clothes were changed, Degui took them out. "Sister Fangcao just told her to take them out and wash them."


    Shen Ze went back to the front hall after changing clothes. Lin''s mother saw that her son-in-law was even more tall and straight after changing new clothes. She couldn''t help laughing and saying, "it''s not that I''m partial to my daughter. You''re really good at needlework." Shen Ze said with a smile, "it''s a craft that the Empress Dowager has praised. Isn''t it extraordinary? In other words, my nephew is just picking up the stool. " Make mother Lin laugh.


    After laughing for a while, Lin''s mother pointed to the two pots of peonies in the hall and said, "you sent these two pots of white peonies. What''s your sister''s love like. She always likes to make some flowers and plants, such as the camellia brought back by Princess Anle from the south. She has planted some of them. She has also divided more than ten pots of chrysanthemums into one hundred pots last year, and only a few pots have withered. Now the rest also have small flower buds. I think it will bloom in two months. " Then he went on to say, "well, you haven''t seen youjieer''s flower house. Now there are several pots of flowers in full bloom. Let''s go. I''ll take you to have a look."


    My mother-in-law, is this a chance for me? Of course, Shen Ze would not refuse, so he went to the backyard behind Lin Mu with a smile.


    There is also a corner door on the edge of the back room in the last row of the house. There is a large area of lush bamboo beside the corner door. Leisurely, people cut down some bamboo, built a small wooden house against the wall, and moved some shade loving orchids and other flowers to the house. Even in the hot summer, the bamboo forest is also humid, so 20 or 30 pots of all kinds of orchids are lush. Some pots are still in full bloom today.


    Lin''s mother pointed to a glass house near the south wall and said, "it''s hard to raise these flowers in winter alone. She went out of her private house to exchange some large pieces of glass to build a flower house. A few pieces of glass cost more than 20 Liang. I often say that after you get married, you can''t spend like this, or how much money will your son-in-law have to earn to support you. "


    Shen Ze said with a smile, "don''t worry, auntie. Although my nephew is not rich, he can still earn this silver." They watched Zihua for a while and joked for a while.


    Those pots of orchid grass, except for the one I saw last year, are just ordinary products. They are just spiritual. It was the hundred and ten pots of rare chrysanthemums that made Shen Ze feel very excited. There is another kind of flower with various colors and fresh and refined patterns, which makes people happy. Shen Ze can''t help asking, "what kind of flower is this? My nephew has never seen it. "


    Lin''s mother once heard that this kind of flower was called camellia, but she pretended that she didn''t know it. "It''s all raised by you sister. I''m not very clear. Just ask her." Then he said to the little servant girl standing on one side, "go and invite the young lady over."

 Chapter 105

    This little servant girl came from Han''s house. She used to be in Meng''s yard, and her name was AI Xiang. The names of the maids around Meng were all related to spices. When they came to the Lin family, leisurely did not change their names. Although AI Xiang had been here for a short time, he knew that this man was his uncle. After listening to his wife''s instructions, he trotted to leisurely''s house to tell the story.


    After listening to this, green Tan''s face showed a narrow smile, leisurely face a red, in the heart how don''t understand that this is the mother for their two people to make the opportunity to meet. Qingliu was more familiar with her uncle, so she said with a smile, "Miss, do you want to change into bright clothes and go there again?"


    Leisurely took a look at the light blue jacket and white pleated skirt on his body, and said, "this dress is very good. Why bother to trade it back and forth?" Green Sandalwood on one side interface way "clothes pour just, but the girl somehow is to see a guest, head the same jewelry also have no, really too pure, or slightly put on two hairpins." Leisurely then nodded her head. She often does needlework at home these days. She thinks that wearing jewelry is cumbersome, so she didn''t bring these things. He picked up a pair of silver silk beads with tourmaline from the makeup box and put them on. He also took a pair of jade bracelets and put them on his wrist.


    After a while, Lin''s mother and Shen Ze saw leisurely Shi ran coming. Lin''s mother said with a smile, "Zhihe asked the names of these potted flowers. How can I know? Tell him about it Then he turned to Shen Ze and said, "I don''t understand these. Let you tell me. It''s getting late. I''ll ask the kitchen to prepare dinner. I''ll stay with you for dinner tonight. " Finish saying, then took a few servant girls to all walk.


    It''s a long day in summer. If you look at the bright sun in the sky, you don''t know how it is. As a mother-in-law, such a bright bias to the future son-in-law, OK? As a result, leisurely immediately felt that it was better to be reserved.


    Shen zegang just looked at leisurely wearing a light blue clothes, and walked over. Although it was not so beautiful, his temperament was elegant and elegant, and he was also a little absent-minded for a while.


    For a moment, they were silent here. In the end, Shen Ze broke the deadlock, pointed to the pots of Camellia and said, "these pots of Camellia look beautiful and refined. I haven''t seen them before. I don''t know what kind they are?"


    Leisurely said with a smile, "this is camellia. It is planted in southern Xinjiang. Princess Le''an brought it from the south."


    Shen Ze smiles, "I''ve seen Camellia in Jinzhou before, but it''s different from these pots."


    Leisurely back to the road, "maybe different varieties, just like orchids, different varieties, color and shape will be very different."


    "That''s true. Speaking of orchids, my friend bought those pots of orchids from you last year. Two pots were given to others, and the rest were kept in the house. I went to see it a few days ago. Although it was attended by a gardener, it was so depressed that it has not blossomed yet. Your pots here are more and more quiet. It''s their blessing that these plants can reach you. Not everyone has this spirit. " With that, Shen zeding looks at leisurely.


    He was a little uncomfortable with his eyes. He turned slightly and said, "I just waste more thoughts than others. What can I do? If you like, you may as well pick up a few pots and take them with you. "


    Hearing the words, Shen Ze looked at a small sea of flowers in front of him and said, "peony is graceful, chrysanthemum is proud, camellia is beautiful, orchid is elegant, each has its own merits. But in my eyes, they are not as good as Qing Qing''er. "


    what do you mean? After staying for a while, leisurely just some reaction come over, oneself this is by, tease, have? Who said that the ancients were very reserved? Is this man a bit reserved?


    She just looked up to see each other''s smiling eyes. She was in a panic for no reason. Her face turned red and she wanted to go. Shen Ze was annoyed when he saw that she was teasing people. He grabbed her arm and said, "OK, I''m rude. Don''t be angry with me. Didn''t you just say you wanted to give me two pots of flowers? Don''t you mean what you say? "


    Leisurely biting his lips, "who doesn''t mean what he says? It''s all here. You can choose for yourself." Shen Ze whispered, "how do I know this? If you want to make it to the end, help me choose two pots. " Leisurely said, "I don''t know what kind of flowers you like. You''d better choose your own." Shen Ze said with a smile, "as long as you choose, I like it."


    The shame on Wen Yan''s leisurely face was more serious, and he turned his head and said, "if you talk nonsense like this again, I will ignore you." She seldom makes such a little girl gesture. Shen Ze is fascinated by it, but he is afraid that it will really annoy her. So he suppresses her heart''s palpitation and takes out a brocade box from her sleeve with a smile. "I can''t accept your flowers in vain, and the things in it are my gifts."


    Leisurely just about to say goodbye, he heard a sound of footwork. Then Liu Ye ran over and said, "my uncle''s servants are here. They say there''s something important to find me."


    Shen Ze frowned and asked, "who is coming?" "I''m waiting in the hall outside," said De Fu


    So Shen Ze thrust the brocade box into leisurely''s hand. "You can keep it. I''ll have a look." Then he walked out with a big step.


    After waiting for the front hall, Shen Ze saw that the man who came was Zhou Bo, the head of the family. He had a bad feeling in his heart. Zhou Bo saw him and whispered to him. After hearing the news, Shen Ze can''t help but change color. "How about sister Xi?"


    Zhou Bo said in a low voice, "the specific situation is not very clear. The woman who reported it was the rough woman in the outer court, and the situation in the inner court is not very clear. It''s just that since the Li family is so cruel, I''m afraid that the young lady can''t get along there. If not, Granny Li would not ask you for help. "


    Shen Ze knew there must be something strange in it, but she was his only sister, even though she was not born with his mother. He couldn''t ignore it. At the moment, I said goodbye to Lin Mu and came to Zhongyi Marquis''s house.


    Lin''s mother didn''t stop him when she saw that he didn''t look well. She just went back to the backyard and said leisurely, "my son-in-law doesn''t know what kind of emergency he had. He left in such a hurry." Leisurely also don''t know what happened, can only wait.


    At this time is the sunset, the red sunset reflects the sunset all over the sky, the scene is charming. But Shen Ze didn''t have the mood to appreciate the sunset at all. After seeing Shen Mingchang, he said something about it.


    Shen Mingchang felt his beard and said, "although Jiang has remarried, he has been filial to your father for three years. We have to respect her. It''s not good for you to stand by her business, not to mention that sister Xi is your own sister. If it''s true, it''s reasonable for you to ask. There''s no need to worry about it. After you go back, you should go to the clan first. If the Li family is not friendly, you should go to Zhou Zhongliang, the governor of Jinzhou. He was one of the first students in Minghe academy, and he is still in the same school as you. The Zhou family and our family are friends. I''ll write another letter for you. He is a kind man and will help you. "


    Shen Ze Baoquan way "so, my nephew thanks my uncle."

 Chapter 106

    Because it''s getting late, Shen Ze doesn''t have a good time to start immediately. After having a hasty dinner in the Marquis''s mansion, he goes back to the mansion to pack up. As soon as he got back to the house, Duanyan came forward and said, "just now Miss Lin sent her servants to bring my uncle''s clothes. In addition, there are two pots of excellent camellia. Miss Lin also asked what''s going on at home. If you need help, just let me talk. "


    Shen Ze looked at the two pots of pure and elegant light blue camellia, which was very close to the color of someone''s dress in the afternoon. He said, "put those two pots of flowers in my bedroom. I need to take good care of them. I''ll leave for Jinzhou early tomorrow morning. If a leaf is missing after I come back, you don''t have to wait on me. In addition, you can pick some fresh fruits and vegetables from Chuang Tzu and send them to her. I''ll go back and deal with some small things in my hometown. If it''s fast, I''ll be back on the 7th and 8th, so that she doesn''t have to worry. " Duanyan nodded and agreed.


    Sitting leisurely in front of the window, playing with a long hairpin of Magnolia with pink hibiscus jade carving, and thinking of the reply from the Shen family, I can''t help sighing, and I don''t know when that person will come back?


    In the back house of Li family, a rich businessman in Jinzhou, a young woman with beautiful face leans weakly by the bed, and a gray haired woman carries a bowl of porridge to feed her. The young woman took a few drinks and then shook her head. "I don''t want to drink any more, Mammy. Did the letter go out?" This young woman is Shen Ze''s stepmother, Jiang, and that woman is her nanny, Xu.


    Xu''s mother is only in her thirties this year. She used to take care of herself well. However, she has been suffering for more than half a year, and she has become old all of a sudden. After listening to Jiang''s inquiry, she nodded and said, "there is a rough old lady Yu in the outer courtyard. She has received some favors from me before, and she has helped me send the letter out. In addition, Mrs. Peng from the Shen family often sends people to visit her. Now that the Li family confines her mother and daughter here, she will be suspicious if she doesn''t see her for a long time. Girl, you have to eat more. You can''t look forward to the future until you have a good health. "


    Jiang shook his head weakly. "Just like me, what can I say in the future? Now it''s just holding on, waiting for Xi''er''s elder brother to pick her up. If I had known that Xi''er would suffer this pain with me, I might as well have let her go to the capital with her brother. It''s all because I don''t know people well that Xi''er suffers from this. " Then he coughed.


    Mother Xu put down the bowl and patted Jiang''s back. Her eyes were moist and she said, "how can this be done by the girl? When the girl came back to her mother''s home, she decided not to marry. If it wasn''t for her wife and grandmother, why did she marry to the Li family? The Li family''s wife is also her cousin. When they were young, they had some feelings. I didn''t expect that the whole family was so black. "


    Jiang is also a poor man. She lost her mother when she was young. Although her stepmother was difficult, she grew up safely with her grandmother and elder brother. Jiji empress, because her stepmother''s family wanted to curry favor with the Shen family, encouraged her to marry Shen Ze''s father as her stepmother. Although Shen Ze''s father was older, he loved her very much. Shen Ze was also a smart and sensible man. She gave birth to Shen Xi one year after she entered the door. Seeing that the days are more and more happy, Shen Ze''s father unfortunately got an emergency when Shen Xi was more than two years old. After three years of filial piety, Chiang decided to go back to his mother''s home to live with his daughter and dowry because there was too little difference between his age and that of his stepson.


    But the stepmother of her mother''s family has repeatedly said that having a filial daughter in the family will make people feel bad luck, so she always finds fault. My sister-in-law is also afraid that if she stays at home, she will share the family''s ancestral property in the future. Therefore, she was encouraged to remarry.


    Just at this time, the Li family, the richest man in Jinzhou, sent someone to propose to Li Youcheng, the elder brother of the Li family who had lost his wife. The Li family is a well-known rich businessman, and the offer of the bride price is also very attractive. Even the elder brother of Chiang Kai Shek can''t help but feel a bit excited. Seeing that her mother''s family couldn''t accommodate her, and that the Li family was an old relative, Chiang decided to marry her.


    Who knows that Li Youcai has a different purpose when he wants to marry her. It turns out that the Li family looks bright on the outside, but because of poor management, they are in urgent need of a large amount of money. Just at this time, Jiang, who returned to his mother''s home, came into the sight of the Li family.


    The late Li''s grandfather and Jiang''s grandmother are cousins, so they are old relatives for many years. When Chiang got married, her grandmother gave her a thousand taels of silver in her private house and a lucrative silk shop. In addition to some things left by Chiang''s mother and the dowry of the Shen family, Chiang''s dowry also had nearly 20000 taels of silver. After she got married to the Shen family, she had the private silver given by Shen Ze''s father, and her dowry had not been changed, not to mention several layers of thickening. Later, when he left the Shen family, Shen Ze decided to give her two thousand taels of silver and a 300 mu Chuang Tzu as Shen Xi''s dowry. Therefore, when he returned to Jiang''s house, he had more than 30000 liang of private houses in his hand. The marriage of the legitimate daughter of the Duke''s family is just the dowry of the silver. After Jiang married the Li family, he didn''t even wait three days to return. Li Youcai then asked Jiang for her private money. Of course, he said he would borrow it first. Although that''s what he said, Chiang knew that once he took out the money, it would be washed away. It doesn''t matter if she has her own private house. Anyway, since her husband''s family is in trouble, she has no reason to be alone. But Xi sister''s dowry she is absolutely not willing to use.


    Li Youcai first took two thousand liang of cash for turnover, and later asked for Chiang''s shop. The shop was left to her by Chiang''s grandmother, who made seven or eight hundred Liang a year, but Chiang refused. Li Youcai applies both hard and soft, but Chiang just shouldn''t. Later, when the creditor urged her, Li Youcai saw that she didn''t get any oil and salt, and kicked her to the ground. His strength was so strong that Chiang was hurt to the heart. The Li family was afraid that the disclosure of the incident would speed up the deterioration of their business. They refused to ask for a doctor. They also locked Jiang and her maids in this yard and refused to let them report. He robbed all the gold and silver in Chiang''s room, even the collar of Jin Feng and Xi jie''er on Chiang''s head.


    Thanks to Chiang''s hiding some gold and silver and the real estate title deed in a secret place, they had some floating wealth and could buy the servants of the house to help them report. At the beginning, it was her mother''s family that Chiang Kai Shek asked for help, but she waited from left to right. She never saw anyone from her mother''s family, so she knew that Chiang''s family was unreliable. In desperation, he had to try to inform the Shen family.


    Looking at the red curtain in the room, who could have thought that she wanted to remarry a few months ago, but now she is still alive? But these days, she often coughs up blood in the middle of the night. She doesn''t dare to let mother Xu know. She knows that she can''t support herself for a few days. She doesn''t know when Shen Ze will arrive?

 Chapter 107

    However, Shen Ze rushed back to Jinzhou with a few of his subordinates. He didn''t have time to go home to clean up, so he went to the elder uncle''s home first.


    Shen Peng, the eldest son of Shen clan leader, made friends with Shen Ze. When Shen Ze left Jinzhou, he dragged his wife and husband to take care of Jiang''s mother and daughter. Granny Peng was asked by her husband to visit sister Xi every two months. But since Shen Xi followed Jiang to Li''s house, Granny Peng has never seen their mother and daughter. I went to Li''s twice. The first time I said that their mother and daughter had gone to the incense shop. The second time I went to Li''s again and said that their mother and daughter were ill and needed to stay in bed. They were not suitable to see others. When Mrs. Peng went home to talk to her husband, the couple became suspicious. The Shen family is also a big family in Jinzhou. After a little inquiry, we can see that Chiang did not return home for three days. Then we found out that there was something wrong with the Li family''s business.


    The couple therefore speculated that Jiang''s mother and daughter might be in trouble. Shen penggang sent his staff to send out the letter to Shen Ze, and then he saw that Shen Ze came back in a dusty way. The two together, we all know that the Li family must have done something to the mother and daughter, but the specific situation is not known, it is not good to rush to the door.


    After telling the matter to the patriarch, the patriarch said, "no matter how Granny Li is, sister Xi is the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. It''s not something that they can handle at will. Zege''er, whatever you want to do, just feel free to do it. The family will decide for you. "


    So Shen Ze and Shen Peng discussed how to do tomorrow. Because Chiang was in the inner court, Shen Ze could not enter directly. They also discussed which of the family members should go with them.


    Granny Peng said with a smile, "you don''t have to worry about this. Just leave it to me. If there is any misunderstanding, I will teach them a lesson


    The next morning, while Mrs. Li was having breakfast, a woman came in all of a sudden in a panic. "The old lady is not well. There are many people in the Shen family. She said that she must see the eldest grandmother and Miss Shen."


    Mrs. Li frowned, "what''s the matter? Didn''t I tell you? When the Shen family comes back, they say that the eldest grandmother is ill and they don''t see visitors. "


    The woman said, "that''s what we said. But this time, Shen Juren, the stepson of the eldest grandmother, came in person. He said that he would not let her see the eldest grandmother, but he would let her see Miss Shen."


    "The Shen family are really full. They''re just girls. What''s good to see? Is it difficult that our Li family will treat her badly? " Old lady Li mumbled and asked her maid to change clothes for her. When the servants around them heard this, they could not help but bow their heads. The old lady''s words were too confusing. Chiang''s wife had never had a good day since she married. She was so beautiful. But in addition to sympathizing in their hearts, they dare not feel a little dissatisfied with their master.


    Although her family had been struggling for a while, many of her headpieces were used as money. But a few days ago, two sets of good faces were found in Chiang''s house. They were all made of red gold and silk. One set was inlaid with red treasure, and the other set with Jasper. Originally, the eldest son had to be pawned, but she privately withheld these two sets.


    Now that I want to see the Shen family, I have to dress up to be rich and gorgeous, so as to overpower each other in momentum. So she put on a few exquisite jewelry, and put on a crimson satin clothes, just walked slowly to the front hall.


    As soon as I got to the gate of the courtyard, I heard a loud noise coming from the west, especially the sharp voice of my second daughter-in-law in the early morning. Over there is Chiang''s yard. Mrs. Li, with a "thump" in her heart, went there with her servants.


    By the time she arrived at Chiang''s yard, it was too late. Granny Peng had already carried Chiang out with three or four family members and dozens of servant girls. Peng''s grandmother stood at the gate of the courtyard with Shen Xi in her red eyes and scolded, "I never thought that all your Li family were such heartless people. Mrs. Jiang was hurt like this. If you didn''t ask for a doctor, you just locked them up. What an unheard of thing! Your family is not afraid of retribution for doing such a wicked thing? " As she scolded, she ordered people to carry out the rest of Chiang''s dowry. When Li''s second grandmother saw that she was carrying things out, she naturally stopped her from saying, "these are all our things. I''m afraid it''s not appropriate for grandma Shen to take them away like this?"


    Granny Peng snorted coldly, "you''ve done this to people. You''ve robbed 70% or 80% of the dowry. What else do you want? Mrs. Jiang must have asked Li Youcai to leave. Sooner or later, these things will be taken away. If they are delayed for another two days, maybe even these things will be taken away by your family? "


    At this time, Mrs. Li just came over and said in a high voice, "how does grandma Shen speak? Since Jiang is married to our Li family, she is also a member of our Li family. It is reasonable for her to take some of her dowry to supplement her mother-in-law''s family. How can we take advantage of Granny Shen''s dowry? "


    Another grandmother of the Shen family said, "Ouch! In the past, I only heard that there was an old man like a treasure in the family. Now I see Mrs. Li, and I know that there is an old treasure in the Li family who can turn black into white. People have been hurt like this, and they can still be so unreasonable. Your old face is a bit thicker than the city wall. It''s time to cut it off in a hundred years'' time to be a family heirloom. "


    Old Mrs. Li has always been used to treating herself with respect in the Li family. At first hearing such accusations, she was quite angry. Only when she saw that the servant women of the Shen family were all strong and strong, she had just sold a group of servants, and now the rest of them were not rivals at all. So he told the servant girl loudly, "hurry to report to the official, and then call the master back. Is there any royal law?"


    As soon as the words came to an end, I saw a young man beside my son running over and saying, "the old lady is not good. Just now, a number of servants came to our shop, saying that our family sold private salt, and they took away the master and the second master, and the shop was sealed."


    On hearing this, Granny Li almost jumped up and said, "how is this possible? Our family''s business is just like that of the noble people in Beijing... "Before she finished speaking, she stopped under the glare of Mrs. Li. It''s just that the man in the family has such a big problem that no one can be calm. All of a sudden, Li''s backyard was in a mess.


    The servants of the Shen family over there have packed and transported the rest of Jiang''s dowry under the guidance of Jiang''s servant girl. There are dozens of Shen family members and servants waiting outside the gate with their carriages. Chiang was also carried out by her mother-in-law. Looking at the chaotic Li family, Granny Peng sneered and led the people out. The Li family''s subordinates were all flustered when they heard that something had happened to the master. They saw that all the Shen family were going out, but no one stopped them. They let them go out like that.

 Chapter 108

    Jiang''s state is extremely bad. Granny Peng holds Shen Xi outside the Li''s house. When Shen Xi sees Shen Ze, he quickly reaches for his brother to hold him. He cries out, "brother, there are a lot of bad people in it." After all, Shen Ze is more reassuring to granny Peng. Shen Ze saw that he hadn''t seen him for only a few months, and Shen Xi was much thinner. He couldn''t help but feel distressed. He reached out his hand to take over his sister, hugged her in his arms and comforted her, "dear, sister Xi doesn''t cry. My brother will help you beat the bad guys." Then he looked at Jiang, who was carried out by several women in a sedan chair, and frowned. Seeing this, Granny Peng shook her head to him. "I''m afraid Mrs. Jiang is not good. Let''s take her back first and invite a doctor to see for her."


    They made a lot of noise and attracted a lot of onlookers. The Li family is a well-known wealthy family in Jinzhou. Naturally, the people living around them are not ordinary people. After hearing the news, he sent the steward to investigate.


    Naturally, the servants of the Li family would not say that they were not. They only said that the Shen family bullied people by virtue of the power of the loyal Marquis and wanted to take away Chiang who had been married to the Li family and wanted to occupy her dowry. The onlookers listened to the Li family''s excuse and saw that the Shen family was really fierce. They were all indignant and pointed to one side.


    The wife in charge of the Fang family happens to be the daughter of a servant in the Ministry of rites. After listening to the reply, she feels that she can''t just sit by and watch the Shen family bully others. So he brought his servants here to discuss with the Shen family. When he came, it happened that Granny Peng and her party had just come out.


    Both of them are respectable families in jinzhoucheng. Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Peng are also common at various banquets, but they are quite eloquent. Now, seeing that the servants of the Shen family were really carrying a lot of furniture, they went over the crowd and asked, "Granny Peng, I haven''t seen you for a long time. Why did you come here today?"


    Granny Peng just wanted to find a chance to disclose today''s affairs. She couldn''t let the Shen family take on the blame. As a result, she pointed to Jiang who was leaning on the soft sedan chair with red eyes and said, "I have no time to say what''s superfluous. Mrs. Fang, you''re here just in time. Come and have a look. Aunt Jiang was still fine when she left our Shen family a few months ago. She was killed less than two months after she married the Li family. The Li family, a group of black hearted things, seized aunt Jiang''s property, and even locked their mothers in the yard. Aunt Jiang was beaten and couldn''t afford to be hurt, and she didn''t get a doctor. And our sister Xi, who used to be a white girl, what is she thin now? It''s not over. We Shen family will not just let it go. But now aunt Jiang is so ill, so we have to take her to our family and ask a doctor to treat her well. "


    Naturally, there was a curtain hanging on the soft sedan chair to block the sight of outsiders, but when Mrs. Fang came, Granny Peng lifted the curtain to show her. When Granny Fang saw that Jiang, who was ruddy on her wedding day, was as thin as firewood now, and her face was green and gray. Chiang''s eyes were closed and the noise outside was unaffected. If it''s not for the nostrils, there''s still a faint breath, it''s no different from the dead. At the moment, he was also startled, "how could he be so sick? I''d better ask a doctor to see it. " With that, he let her go.


    They are all neighbors. Mrs. Fang naturally knows that the Li family is greedy and greedy. In particular, old Mrs. Li is the most mean and unsympathetic. But I never thought that this family would harm people like this for the sake of greedy dowry. It''s so black hearted!


    Granny Peng''s voice was not small just now, and there was a servant woman brought by Jiang''s crying in the crowd about the inhuman treatment she had received in the past two months. Everyone''s sympathy for the Li family suddenly turned to disdain, and what the family did was called human affairs?


    The Shen family rushed Chiang back and asked the best doctor in the city to treat her. It''s just that her five internal organs have been badly damaged, delayed for such a long time, and lack of medical care. There is no way out. Now it''s just a day to live.


    Shen Ze asked someone to find a hundred year old ginseng, and let the maid stew the ginseng soup for Jiang. Jiang just woke up. She was relieved when she saw the Shen family. She looked at Shen Ze and said, "brother Ze, I''m afraid it won''t work. I''ll give you sister Xi in the future."


    When Shen Ze saw her like this, he advised her, "don''t worry, aunt. I''ve sent someone to ask for a doctor. I''ll get better if I just keep my mind at ease. It''s better for sister Xi to be looked after by her mother. " Jiang shook his head gently. "I know my body. I don''t have a few days to live. However, I have to go, and I have to go clean. I always have to see and leave the book so that I can feel at ease. "


    Wen Yan, Shen Ze nodded, "aunt, don''t worry, I will help her to seek justice."


    It''s not easy to keep such a big deal from the Jiang family. Shen Ze sent someone to deliver a letter to the Jiang family, and went to the magistrate''s office.


    An hour later, he smoothly took Li Youcai''s signature and seal of the book and Li''s compensation of 8000 taels of silver back. At this time, Chiang''s elder brother, master Jiang, had received the news.


    When he arrived at Shen''s house and saw his terminally ill sister, he was also devastated and complained that "it''s all my fault. It''s all my fault that I should have stopped you from remarrying."


    Although Jiang was weak, he still held on to his spirit and comforted his brother, "my brother doesn''t have to blame himself. It''s all my life." With that, she coughs. Xu''s mother comes forward to help her beat her back. Shen Xi takes out her handkerchief and climbs to the bed to help her wipe her mouth. But she never thinks that the white handkerchief is stained with blood. Although Shen Xi was young, he knew that this was not a good phenomenon, so he began to cry, "mother, what''s the matter with you? Mother, I don''t want you to be busy. "


    Mrs. Peng, who has been looking after her all the time, sees that Jiang''s family seems to be in trouble. She is afraid of scaring Shen Xi, so she coaxes her into saying, "sister Xi, you''re good. Sister-in-law is looking for a doctor to see your mother. Will you go out and play with your niece?"


    But Shen Xi, who was always clever, didn''t cooperate at all this time. He hugged Jiang''s arm and said, "I won''t go. I won''t go anywhere. I''ll stay with my mother."


    After coughing for a while, Jiang felt better in her chest. She took a sip of the ginseng soup that Xu''s mother had handed over, and felt that she had some strength. Then he said to Shen Xi with a smile, "well, sister Xi will stay with her mother. She still has something to say to her."


    After that, he turned his head and asked mother Xu, "nanny, have you taken all the things I asked you to take?" Xu nodded, turned to go out for a while, and then came in with a big box.

 Chapter 109

    After seeing the box, Chiang said, "I don''t know if Li Youcai is willing to write and leave the book?"


    Hearing the speech, Shen Ze quickly took out a pile of paper from his sleeve and said, "I forgot to say just now. I''ve got my aunt''s and Li books. In addition, there are 8000 taels of banknotes paid by the Li family. Please keep them, aunt With that, he handed it to mother Xu.


    Jiang took and left the book from Xu''s mother''s hand. Seeing Li Youcai''s fingerprints on it, he said with a smile, "now, I''m going to be more at ease."


    With that, he opened the box that mother Xu had brought in. There were some bills and some gold and silver things in it. She said to the crowd, "I know my body. I can''t be afraid. Now, while we are all here, let''s settle down. " All the people felt sad when they heard the words, but they didn''t show it very well.


    She first looked at Shen Ze, "Ze Ge''er, I know you are a kind man. After I leave, Xi''er will give it to you. In this box are some things I hid, which were not found by the Li family. My dowry and Xi''er''s private property are all in this. In addition, there is a two hundred taels gold ticket which is my private house. In addition, the money you get back will be given to you for collection. It will be used as Xi''er''s dowry in the future. I heard that you are engaged, and I didn''t have time to meet Miss Lin. Here is a pair of Lanzhi jade bracelets, which can hold hands. You can give them to her for me, which is my idea. Sister Xi will have to trouble her to look after her in the future. "


    Then she took out a gold collar and a pair of red gold and jadeite Bracelets from the box and handed them to granny Peng. "After I married to the Shen family, thanks to granny Peng''s care, I think I''ll leave this idea in mind. I hope I don''t refuse." Granny Peng wanted to refuse, but she was afraid that Chiang would feel uneasy. So he took the things, wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and said, "don''t worry, aunt. I''ll take care of sister Xi more here."


    Finally, Jiang took out a purse and handed it to his elder brother. "I''ll leave something in it for my elder brother. I''ll take care of myself in the future." Seeing that the purse was light, master Jiang thought it was not valuable, so he accepted it with tears in his eyes.


    Jiang finally touched her daughter''s head and said, "my mother''s sister-in-law Xi must be a beautiful little girl in the future. The rest of it is for my sister-in-law Xi. You should keep it. In the future, you should listen to my brother and sister-in-law. Don''t be naughty, you know?"


    Shen Xi was still a little confused. After listening to his mother''s words, he only nodded.


    Seeing that his daughter was so clever, Chiang gave a happy smile and pointed to mother Wang, saying, "mother Wang is my nurse. She has been with me for many years and has no children of her own. I said I wanted to provide for her, but now I''m afraid it won''t work. I''ll let her stay with sister Xi in the future. "


    Seeing Shen Ze nodding, Chiang was relieved. Turning to see her daughter''s bright eyes, she couldn''t help raising her hand and touching her small face. "Sister Xi is good, your mother is going to find your father. Don''t cry, you must be a happy little girl..." before her voice fell, her hand dropped.


    Shen Xi is still curious about how his mother suddenly stopped moving. When others see that the situation is not good, they rush forward to find out. However, Chiang has no breath. All of a sudden, everyone burst into tears.


    "Mother Wang, why doesn''t her mother move?" Shen Xi asked strangely. Mother Wang hugged Shen Xi and began to cry.


    Poor Chiang. He died young. It''s just that since people have already left, things will naturally have to be done. It''s just that she has remarried after all, and the Shen family''s going to take care of her affairs is not right after all. Fortunately, master Jiang was stimulated by his sister''s death and changed his old gentle style. Tough will Jiang''s body back to his home, did a grand ritual, the younger sister buried in the Jiang family''s ancestral grave.


    Shen Ze''s boy returns to Beijing to bring something to Shen Ze, and sends the news everywhere by the way. Leisurely, she had to prepare some memorial ceremonies and two pairs of shoes for the Shen family to bring back to Jinzhou.


    It was nearly four months after Shen Ze took care of everything. The last time Shen Ze left the capital, it was the beginning of July, but now it is the end of October. It was the first snow in the capital just after winter. The thick snow not only slowed down the journey of the carriage, but also added some chill to the people on the way.


    Mother Wang tightens Shen Xi''s Brocade cloak inlaid with silver fox skin, and then reaches out to touch the stove in her hand, feeling that the temperature is still warm. Just see Shen Xi some thin face, or can''t help but ask "girl, are you cold?"? Would you like some more charcoal? "


    Shen Xi shook his head. "Mammy, I''m not cold. This cloak and padded jacket are warm, but you''re wearing a thin one, Mammy. Why didn''t you add a cape? "


    Mother Wang shook her head. "It''s not cold in this car. I''ll put it on when I get off later. It seems that Miss Lin has a delicate mind. She thought about it early. She prepared many big sweaters and sent them to Jinzhou. If not, we will know that the capital is colder, and we are afraid that we will not be able to prepare so many. Miss Lin will be her sister-in-law in the future. You should respect her when you see her in the future. " Shen Ze''s character Wang''s mother is at ease, but the girl is still in the inner house. Originally, I didn''t know what the temperament of Uncle Shen''s fiancee was, but since Chiang Kai Shek''s death, Shen Xi has received something sent by Lin Youran two or three times. Most of them are clothes and jewelry. It''s said that they are all made by Miss Lin herself. Each piece is exquisitely made, the color is simple and elegant, and the materials are excellent. For example, Shen Xi''s silver fox cape was not necessarily willing to use such a good leather to make clothes for a child when Chiang was there. I heard that Miss Lin was just a servant girl. She had a common family background. It''s rare for her to be so generous.


    While mother Wang was thinking, the carriage stopped at the door of a house. All the people in my family have got the letter and are waiting at the door. Seeing my uncle coming back, I came out to meet him. Shen Ze was not used to riding. He rode all the way. Rao Shi was thick and stiff. The porter took the reins and led the horse to the stable to feed.


    Duan Inkstone cleverly took out a hand stove to offer "Uncle frozen bad? Take this and cover your hands first. " Shen Ze took it and warmed his hand a little. Then he put the stove back into Duan Yan''s hand. Then he came to Shen Xi''s carriage, lifted the driving curtain and said with a smile, "Xi''er, we''re home. Come on, I''ll take you down."


    With that, he carries Shen Xi all the way into the front hall. The room is warm and comfortable with a fire. As soon as he comes in, his brother and sister feel much warmer. After all, Shen Xi is still a child. He can''t stop looking around when he comes in.


    Different from the small and exquisite Jinzhou house, the houses in the capital are much more elegant. The front hall is naturally the most spacious room in the family. The carved doors and windows are inlaid with large glass one meter high, which makes the room more bright in this snowy day.


    Several pots of brightly colored Chimonanthus praecox flowers bloom just in time, showing bursts of fragrance, adding a bit of aura to the originally boring room.

 Chapter 110

    Duanyan saw that Shen Ze couldn''t help looking at the two pots of Chimonanthus praecox. She quickly came forward and said with a smile, "Miss Lin heard that my uncle is coming back these days. The day before yesterday, she sent someone to send these two pots of Chimonanthus praecox and some pots of orchids. There are four pots of orchids, two for each of the two. After a while, I might as well go back to my room and have a look. The flowers are really elegant. "


    Shen Ze nodded and said to Shen Xi, "sister Xi, this will be your home in the future. I''ll let my mother-in-law take you to the bedroom to have a look. If there''s anything I don''t like, just talk to my brother and he''ll let someone clean it up for you." Then she said to mother Xu, "sister Xi is still young. Please bother her. If there''s anything against your will, Mammy just opens her mouth. I have only one sister. I can''t hurt her. " Xu''s mother nodded and said, "don''t worry. If there''s something wrong with you, I''ll mention it even if you don''t say it."


    Then Shen Ze sent a mother-in-law to take Shen Xi''s master and servant back to his room, and asked his servants to send all kinds of local instruments they had brought back to Hou Fu, Ming He academy, Lin family and other relatives and friends one by one.


    He just returned to his bedroom and saw a pot of orchids in bud on his desk and Kang Table. The light green petals showed a faint aroma, which made people relax a lot.


    The servant had prepared hot water for many days, so Shen Ze took a hot bath to get rid of his fatigue.


    After changing clean clothes, Duan Yan said, "I have some food in the kitchen. Do you want to use some?" Shen Ze Wen Yan nodded, "lunch did not eat well, let the kitchen get some light to Xi sister there, I used to use some with her." Duan Inkstone naturally nodded and went to the kitchen to explain.


    Because it was cold outside, Shen Ze was strong and didn''t dare to go out when his hair was still wet. He picked a book from the shelf and spent his time there.


    At this time, the woman who sent things to the Lin family came back with two big burdens. She put the things on the table and said with a smile, "Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin are very happy to know that uncle is back safely. Miss Lin just made some clothes, shoes and socks for my uncle and our girls, and let the old slave bring them back. There are also several kinds of decorations for girls. Mrs. Lin also said that if you let the elder take the girl with you when you have time, you don''t have to abide by the old conventions. "


    Shen Ze nodded, "mom is working hard. Go down and have a rest." And to another young man Cheng Yan said, "it''s cold, grab some copper money for my mother to drink."


    Then I opened one of them, which was obviously a big dark gray burden for myself. I saw a beautiful blue plain Kesi crane cloak, a beautiful stone blue satin cotton padded gown, and a pair of thick soled sheepskin boots. Although he does not lack of clothes, but the taste of being concerned about is still in this cold weather to Shen Ze unspeakable warmth. The fatigue of these days seems to be cured in an instant.


    Shen Ze, who has been warmed up, puts the crane cloak on his cotton padded robe, and then goes to the backyard with the things for Shen Xi in a happy mood.


    Shen Ze''s house was built by his grandfather several decades ago. Although it is also a three-way house, it is much larger than Lin''s house. The first entrance is naturally the anteroom and garage, the horse horn, and the inverted seats and wing rooms where the male servants live. The second entrance is Shen Ze''s study and two small guest houses. Shen Ze still lives in the study now. The third entrance is the residence of the women''s dependents. Besides the main courtyard, there are three separate courtyards. Shen Xi lives in the biggest of the three yards.


    Shen Xi just took a bath and changed into clean clothes. See elder brother to come, immediately smile to elder brother please. Brother and sister depend on each other these days. Naturally, they are very close. Shen Ze pinched his sister''s red face and asked, "does sister Xi like this yard?"


    Shen Xi quickly nodded, "I like it. The yard is so big and the room is warm. Just now, mother Xu said that the tree in the yard is a Begonia tree, and it will blossom when it is warm in spring. I like crabapple best


    "Oh, so our sister Xi likes crabapple? It''s easy to say. After the spring, my brother will find someone to plant a few more Begonia trees in the yard, OK Shen Ze asked. After listening to this, Shen Xi nodded busily, "OK, brother, you have to count your words." With a smile, Shen Ze pointed to the burden on the table, "when does my brother not mean what he says? By the way, what good things did your brother bring you? "


    Shen Xi just saw the burden in her brother''s hand, but she was too small to ask directly. When she saw her brother, she opened the burden with a smile. Inside were two exquisite coats and skirts, all embroidered with exquisite patterns. They are all cherry grass, green lotus and other colors. They are not too plain. They can be worn when you go out to meet customers. In addition, there is an AI green feather and satin cape with rabbit hair edge and a pair of thick soled sheepskin boots, which are the same leather as Shen Ze''s boots. In addition, there is a flat brocade box with a silver inlaid jade collar, a pair of silver silk butterfly and a pair of small Hetian jade bracelets. All of them are suitable for Shen Xi''s age girls, and the color is just in line with her present status of filial piety.


    Xu''s mother looked at these things, but she could not help but deepen her favor for leisurely. It seems that the future grandmother is really a safe and fastidious person.


    After a while, the kitchen sent several small dishes and a stewed rotten Eucommia chicken soup. The chicken soup was simmered slowly with slow fire. The chicken had been stewed crispy, and the soup was fresh and delicious. Shen Ze drank two bowls at a time, looked up and saw that Shen Xi didn''t move the chicken soup in the bowl, so he couldn''t help asking, "why don''t sister Xi drink it? Don''t you like it? "


    Most children like to eat meat, and sister Xi is no exception. She sniffed the delicious chicken soup, swallowed her saliva and shook her head. "I like it, but I want to be filial."


    Hearing this, Shen Ze was stunned and then said, "it''s OK. It''s time for you to grow up. You can''t lose your nutrition. Besides, there is no meat in the soup. It''s OK to drink some. If you don''t believe it, ask mammy Wang. " Then he winked at mammy Wang.


    Wang mammy also can''t bear to let Xi elder sister''s so big child three years don''t eat meat, horizontal and vertical already passed hot filial piety, as long as the big face is not bad, it''s OK. So he said to Shen Xi, "it''s OK, sister Xi. Is there any outsider here? It''s OK for you to drink this soup. Even if your mother knows about it underground, she likes to see you eat and dress well. " Smell speech, Shen Xi this just happily drank the soup in the bowl.


    After they had enough to eat, they just cleaned up the table. The woman who went to the Marquis''s house to deliver things came in and said, "madam, I''ve received the things from my uncle. I''m very polite. She wants to see our girl, and let me take her with me tomorrow. She''ll be waiting in the house. "


    Shen Ze nodded and let her go down.

 Chapter 111

    Since the Han family sincerely invited Shen Ze to take Shen Xi to Houfu the next morning. They are used to coming. As soon as they enter the second gate, a servant girl leads them to the hall of Yuehua courtyard.


    As soon as he saw Shen Ze, Han called out, "I''ve lost some weight, but I''m more energetic." "Is this sister Xi? What a neat child! The eyes and nose are pretty A repeatedly call servant girl to take to meet a gift to come over. He also said to Shen Ze with a smile, "it''s said that her daughter, Xiao Fu, looks more like your father than you."


    On the side of the catkins interface way "Madam so a say, maidservant pour feel Xi girl and our big girl also have a bit similar."


    After listening to this, they went to have a closer look. It turns out that Shen Xi and Shen Tian are really like each other. Han said with a smile, "it''s really like this. Come on, go to the back and invite all the girls to come here, so that their sisters can meet." Own small servant girl promised to go.


    At this time, a servant girl took out Shen Xi''s watch. Inside, she saw a pair of bracelets with the same color and a silver collar with a long life lock made of mutton fat and jade. In addition, there were two pairs of gold and silver statues with fresh designs. Han looked at things and said to Shen Xi with a smile, "it''s not a good thing. Sister Xi, take it with you." Then he pulled out a green hairpin carved into a lotus pattern from his head and put it on Shen Xi''s head. "This fresh color is good for your little girl." Shen Xi had never received such a heavy gift. He couldn''t help but look at Shen Ze and see his brother nodding. Then he saluted and said, "Xi''er thanks my great aunt."


    Shen Ze talked with Han family for a few more words, and then said, "Xi''er will be handed over to my aunt. My little nephew will go to the front yard to greet my uncle."


    Han nodded with a smile. "Your uncle has been talking about you for a long time. Go ahead. I''ll let them make your favorite dishes at noon."


    Shen Zexing saluted and turned around. As soon as he came to the gate of the courtyard, he heard a burst of laughter. When he fixed his eyes, he saw that all the girls in Hou''s house were coming here. When he wanted to avoid it, he was too late to stand aside. Fortunately, apart from Fang Xinsu, the rest of the people are all sisters in the clan, but it doesn''t matter. As an outsider, Shen Ze first saluted the princess Fang Xinsu, and then several girls of the Shen family saluted Shen Ze with a smile.


    Shen Ze didn''t look up from the beginning to the end, so he didn''t see the figure at the back. Everyone looked at Shen Ze and then at that, and they all laughed. Shen Xiang was still young and joked, "sister Lin, this meeting suddenly reminds me of a very difficult thing. Now you are our cousin, brother Ze is our brother. What should I call you after you get married? "


    Shen Lian said to one side, "you silly girl, don''t care about your cousins. When you get married to our Shen family, you will be called your sister-in-law. Is it difficult for us to call our brother-in-law? " All of a sudden, everyone was laughing.


    Shen Ze''s skin is rough and flesh is thick, but he didn''t feel embarrassed. He just didn''t expect to see leisurely here. He was a little stunned for a moment.


    Leisurely is the core of many years in modern times. It''s not easy to tease her. But in this era, women still pay attention to the word "reserved", so they only bow their heads and don''t speak.


    Seeing this, Shen Tian thought leisurely and shy, so he said, "OK, mother is still waiting in the room. Let''s go in." With that, Shen Xiang, who wanted to watch, went into the yard.


    For a moment, only Shen Ze and leisurely are left in the noisy territory. They both said "you..." almost at the same time, and then they both laughed.


    Shen Ze asked, "Why are you here today?"


    Leisurely back way "early in the morning, the big girl will send someone to my home, said there is a best orchid some bad.". I came here before I could see the flower. Now it seems that it''s not certain that there are potted flowers or not. " See Shen Ze, leisurely still have what don''t understand. It must be Shen Tian who knows he''s coming and tries to give them a chance to meet. Hearing this, Shen Ze laughs, "my sister has always been extremely intelligent." Seeing that leisurely didn''t even wear a big sweater, he frowned and said, "how can you wear such a thin one? Is it cold? Why didn''t you wear a cloak? "


    Leisurely smile: "it was originally dressed. I just walked around in the back and took off some heat. The sun is just right and it''s not cold at all. Did the clothes sent yesterday fit Shen Ze nodded, "it''s a good fit. The clothes you make are very comfortable. It''s just that too much sewing is tiring and eye damaging. I''d rather wear clothes made by others than tired you. "


    Seeing that there was no one around, Shen Ze quickly extended his hand to hold his carefree hand. If it was really not cold, he just felt that the place he held was as soft as boneless and warm. For a moment, he didn''t want to let go.


    I didn''t expect that this person was so bold and flustered. She wanted to pull her hand back, but she couldn''t defeat Shen Ze''s strength. Then he stamped his foot and said, "let go quickly. What does it look like when people see it?"


    Although Shen Ze still wants to hold on for a while, the time and place are not right. He doesn''t want to be criticized for his own selfish. Therefore, although not give up, but quickly released. Just said with a smile, "after Chunwei, I will go to propose marriage as early as possible."


    What I heard has the same thing on my face, and I am afraid I will stay here for a long time, so I will leave behind only one thing, "it is natural that you has the final say." He rushed into the yard.


    Shen Ze stares at her far away back for a while, then turns to Shen Mingchang''s study.


    Leisurely went to no one, patted his chest, calmed down, and then cut the sideburns, then entered the hall with a smile. As soon as they saw her, they all came through her teasing expression. Even Han joked, "you girl, when you hear that my sister-in-law is coming, you don''t come here quickly. Are you waiting for me to send someone to invite you?" All of them laughed.


    Leisurely stomp to ignore them, straight forward to hold Shen Xi''s hand, said with a smile, "are you sister Xi? I''m your sister Lin. our two families are very close, just in the front and back streets. In the future, if you have anything to eat and play with, just send someone to me. "


    Mother Wang has guessed leisurely''s identity from the banter of many people. At the moment, Shen Xi said a few words in his ear. Then Shen Xi called out with a smile, "Hello sister Lin, Xi''er hasn''t thanks sister Lin for her new clothes." Finish saying, and solemnly line a gift.

 Chapter 112

    Leisurely quickly reached out to help Shen Xi up and said with a smile, "you don''t want to give up." Mother Wang said to one side, "who would dislike Miss Lin''s exquisite craftsmanship? The girls in my family like it so much. " Shen Xi also busily nodded, "yes, Xi''er likes his sister."


    Shen Xi was delicate and lovely, and looked at leisurely with his big moist eyes. Leisurely felt that his heart was about to melt. So he took off a purse and handed it to him. "You just like it. When you have time, my sister will make a new one for you. I don''t know I''ll meet you today. I''m not prepared. This purse is quite meticulous. Take it with you. "


    The purse is embroidered with the common appearance of butterflies wearing flowers, but leisurely Leng embroiders the original heavy and rigid pattern into a kind of freehand painting feeling. Shen Xi immediately fell in love with the vivid embroidery of the two little butterflies. He quickly stretched out his hands and said with a smile, "thank you, sister Lin."


    A little girl like Shen Xi is very popular. After lunch, all the girls went to play in the backyard. Han called Shen Ze over and said, "it seems that you are getting closer to the end of the year. There must be a lot of work to do in your Chuang Tzu shop. Why don''t you ask sister Xi to stay in this mansion. On the one hand, I really like this child; on the other hand, there are many girls in this house. Xiang''s sister is not much older than her, and she can have a playmate. Another is that you have time to take care of her. Girls are different from boys in their upbringing. Now you are not married, and there is no mother at home. After all, it is inconvenient. Let her live in this house first. After you get married, her sister-in-law will take over. I just don''t know what you think? "


    Shen Ze hugged his fist and said, "thanks for the love of my aunt, I don''t want to. It''s just that my aunt is too tired to take care of hong''er as well as the steward on weekdays? "


    Han said with a smile, "it''s nothing. Now everything in the house is discussed and handled by their sisters, and I''m just taking a name. It''s brother Hong, and there are so many servant girls. I can''t be tired any more. "


    Hearing this, Shen Ze quickly bowed himself to thank him and said, "since that''s the case, Xi''er has been bothered by his aunt."


    Han waved his hand. "We don''t have to be so polite. It''s just that sister Xi is here today. You''ll talk to her later. Slow down. It''s not good to scare the children. "


    Shen Ze nods, and Han finds a servant girl to bring Shen Xi and mother Wang back.


    Shen Xizheng and Shen Xiang are having a good time there. Hearing her brother call her, Shen Xi is still reluctant to part with her. Shen Xiang is only ten years old this year. He is still a child. Although he has a good relationship with Shen Tian and others, he can''t play together. Now a Shen Xi came, and Shen Xiang played the game of passing the house with her. Shen Xiang''s disposition is a bit overbearing, Shen Xi''s disposition is docile, everything listens to Shen Xiang''s, two people actually quite can play together.


    It''s time for such a big child to play. Although Shen Xi followed mother Wang back to Yuehua courtyard, he still couldn''t help looking at the place he just played.


    When he saw his brother, Shen Xi asked, "brother, are we going to leave?" Instead of answering, Shen Ze asked her with a smile, "did you have a good time just now? Do you like it here? " Shen Xi nodded: "happy, my sisters are very good to me, and give me a lot of fresh tenacity. Sister Xiang also played hide and seek and played family with me. "


    Shen Ze hesitated and asked, "do you want to live here for a few days?"


    Hearing this, Shen Xi was a little unhappy. She said, "brother, don''t you want me?"


    Shen Ze squatted down to pick her up and said, "silly girl, how can my brother not want you. It''s just that my brother left behind a lot of lessons a while ago and will go to the college tomorrow to make up his lessons. At that time, only Xi''er will be left at home, but my brother is not at ease. Why don''t you stay here for a few days and pick you up when your brother comes back? "


    Then she winked at mother Wang. After a little consideration, mother Wang understood that Shen zeding was afraid that Shen Xi would be criticized in the future because he would not be brought up by his mother. Mother Wang thought that Shen zeding had begged han to keep Shen Xi. After all, the Han family is Mrs. Hou. If she teaches them for a few years, they will be able to talk to each other in the future. At the moment, he also helped to persuade "sister Xi, you are good. I still have a lot of things to do. If I stay with my sister, I will pick you up when I finish my work in a few days, OK?" In fact, Shen Ze can''t compare with mother Wang''s status in Shen Xi''s heart. After all, the latter brought her up. Hearing that mother Wang would stay with her, Shen Xi pouted and said, "that brother should come to pick me up as soon as possible. Also, Xiao Xi is coming to accompany me. " Xiaoxi is the daughter of Jiang''s former servant girl, two years older than Shen Xi. Two years ago, when Xiaoxi''s mother gave birth to her second child, she had a hard time giving birth to a corpse and two lives. Xiaoxi''s father later married a wife, which was not very good to Xiaoxi. After hearing this, Jiang asked Xiao Xi to go to his yard and put him next to his daughter as a playmate.


    Xiaoxi is eight years old this year. Although she is good-natured, she was praised a little too much when Jiang was here. She is proud and proud. Shen Xi is still young and sometimes has to be controlled by her. Therefore, Shen Ze didn''t like this girl very much. When she came to the capital, she didn''t let her stay by Shen Xi''s side. Today, she didn''t let her come here. After hearing this, she just said with a smile, "OK, I''ll go back and help you pack up some clothes and toys, and then let the old lady send them together."


    It''s so easy to pacify his sister that Shen Ze goes to say goodbye to Han. Han says, "you''ve just come back. There must be many things to do. I''ll leave you here. However, since you want to go back, you will send your sister back by the way. Save me the trouble of sending another maid. " Shen Ze was very busy.


    Han sent someone to tell leisurely what happened. She was playing chess with Fang Xinsu in the di Cui Zhai. After hearing this, she saw leisurely sitting there and the wind was still moving. Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "OK, I''m still pretending. I don''t want to clean up soon. I''ve been careful for a long time. I''m not waiting for you."


    Leisurely still smilingly dropped a chess piece and said, "I''m going to win this game. It''s a pity to leave like this. If he is in a hurry to leave by himself, can''t I go home by myself? It''s your turn. Don''t make excuses to be lazy. " Man, don''t you toss and toss at this time, he will talk to you after getting married?


    Fang Xinsu saw that she was not in a hurry, and thought that Shen Ze had to go to the front yard to say goodbye to her uncle and others, but she was not in a hurry. Therefore, I decided to continue the chess game.

 Chapter 113

    Even though Fang Xinsu had lost a little, it took another quarter of an hour to win the game.


    Fang Xinsu looked at the scattered pieces and said, "OK, you have won a great victory. Why don''t you clean up and leave quickly? Do you have to wait for Mao? "


    Since the adoption of the Meng family, leisurely and the girls in Shen''s mansion have become sisters, and they have come to Hou''s mansion and Han''s mansion more frequently. Therefore, people do not treat her as a serious guest. She got up, put on her cloak, and said with a smile, "well, I''m going. I''m afraid my aunt is having a rest, so I won''t disturb her. Later, you will sue for me. Besides, sister Xi is still young. She lives here. You can take care of me more everyday. "


    Fang Xinsu gave her a look at her and said, "well, it''s not through the door yet. Is it protected? She is not sensible, but also the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. Who dares to treat her slowly? It''s you who have made one suit after another for the brother and sister. How come you haven''t made them for me? "


    Wen Yan leisurely said, "my princess, are you still short of clothes? Your embroiderer''s needlework is much more exquisite than what I do. What''s more, I''ll make clothes for you from the palace. "


    Fang Xinsu frowned and said, "what they do is just clothes. They are crafty. You should be smart. "


    "Well, since you like it, I''ll make a good dress for you next year."


    Fang Xinsu was so happy that he said, "you have to keep your word." And then he said, "I know you''re no longer what you used to be. There''s a lot of business at home. You just make me a blouse. The pattern embroidery is more elegant. Don''t bother with the rest. Don''t worry. I''ll take good care of your sister-in-law. I won''t let the servants bully her. "


    Leisurely nodded, "I naturally believe you. Well, I won''t quarrel with you. I''ll go first."


    When she took the maid to the back door, Shen Ze had been waiting there for a while. Leisurely walked to the front, saw his nose is frozen some red, then embarrassed to say, "something delayed for a while, tired you wait for a long time."


    Shen Ze saw that she was wearing a big red feather Satin double breasted cloak, which made her skin as black as ink. She was already soft in her heart. Where could she blame her. So he said with a smile, "I didn''t wait for a long time. It''s OK. It''s getting late. Let''s set out. "


    With that, he personally helped leisurely into the carriage. Because there are a lot of servant girls watching, Shen Ze is very honest this time and doesn''t do anything beyond the rules.


    Then Shen Ze rode on his horse and sent leisurely home all the way. When we got to the door, there was no reason why we didn''t go in and say hello to mother Lin. Fortunately, on the way, Shen Ze has ordered Duanyan to buy some snacks and take some of his own bittern.


    Duan Yan rode fast, but they came faster than the carriage. When they came, they had been waiting at the entrance of the lane for a while.


    The Lin family''s little fellow saw that it was his uncle who sent the young lady back. He rushed in to report. After getting off the horse, Shen Ze went to the car and helped leisurely down. It happened that Enron had been studying at home for the last two days. When he heard that his brother-in-law was coming, he quickly welcomed out "brother Shen, but I haven''t seen him for some days. Why did you send your sister back? I''ve just prepared a set of cars to pick up my sister. "


    Shen Ze said with a smile, "I went to the Marquis''s house to say hello today. I just met your sister and sent her back by the way."


    At this time, mother Lin also heard the news. Looking at Shen Ze, he said, "Oh, I''ve been to Jinzhou for several months, but I''ve lost a lot of weight and dark. It''s just the same. Don''t leave the pheasant soup stewed at home tonight, and stay for a light meal. "


    Shen Ze said with a smile, "I didn''t eat the last meal. I left. My little nephew has been thinking about it all the time. This time, I came here to rub the meal." Finish saying let Duan Inkstone will dim sum and bittern put on the table, "this bittern pour just, afraid is not as good as aunt''s house do.". It''s from the east city baiweizhai. It''s not bad. I''ll try it. " Lin''s mother asked the servant girl to take the stew to the back kitchen, and she said, "you are polite. I''ve heard about the cakes in this family. Does it cost more than ten Liang to save such a box? Forget it this time. We are not allowed to be so polite in the future. " Shen Ze answered with a smile. Lin asked again, "doesn''t it mean that your sister has come to the capital? Why didn''t you see her coming? "


    Smell speech, Shen Ze will Han''s plan said.


    Mrs. Lin nodded and said, "Mrs. Shen said that although you are a meticulous person, it is better for girls to have a serious female elder to teach them. Now you and youjieer haven''t got married. It''s not a good name. If you don''t let her live in my house, it''s more convenient. However, Mrs. Shen is a product of Gao Ming. Naturally, we country women can''t match her in the way of insight. It''s very helpful to see that Youjie is only a servant girl for a few years. I think Miss Shen can''t be wrong in the future. "


    Shen Ze said with a smile, "what my aunt said is that my nephew thinks the same way."


    After a few words of gossip, Lin''s mother got up and said, "you two talk first. I''ll go to the kitchen and have a look. I''ll call you when the meal is ready Both of them got up and answered.


    Now they are both brothers and uncles. Naturally, their relationship is getting closer and closer. So, it''s very sad to say goodbye.


    Since he had not been to the Academy for a long time, Shen Ze naturally asked about the recent situation of the Academy. Enron said, "I heard from the elder martial brothers that master''s leg pain is a stubborn disease for many years. In the past, when it came to winter, it was painful and inconvenient to move. How many famous doctors have been invited to try and how many pharmacies are not particularly effective. But last time, brother Shen sent the medicinal wine from Jinzhou for external application and internal use, which was quite effective. That day, he took us hunting in the mountains and shot a lot of pheasants and roe deer. The pheasant soup we made tonight is the one we got that day. "


    Shen Ze smiles bitterly and shakes his head. "It''s not easy to be more effective, but it''s time to let the master keep it. I went hunting in such a cold day. When I came back, my leg pain got worse. What can I do? Don''t you advise me, elder martial brothers? "


    Enron shook his head and said, "my elder martial brothers and I are also advised in this way, but how can master listen to people''s advice? He didn''t plan to take our brother, but we couldn''t stop him. We were afraid that he would go alone and have some more accidents. That''s why a few of us followed. Otherwise, it''s so icy and snowy. Who''s going to be impatient to hunt? "

 Chapter 114

    Hearing the speech, Shen Ze said, "in that case, I still have some medicinal wine there. I''ll send it to master myself tomorrow."


    Enron clapped his hands and said with a smile, "that''s very kind. You''ve been to the south for such a long time, but the master has been talking about it for a long time." Uncle Lang and his wife chatted about other things. Shen Ze had dinner here before leaving.


    The weather is getting colder and colder. Leisurely, he often stays at home and seldom goes out. It''s just the end of the new year. You elders have to do some needlework. Filial piety is not easy. Sometimes when she was tired of needlework, she went to her flower house. Among them, more than ten top-grade potted orchids had just sprouted. It was time to enjoy the flowers at the end of the new year, and she was leisurely preparing for gifts. In addition, dozens of pots of glass Begonia have also grown small flower buds. Although the flower is more ordinary, it has gorgeous color and long flowering period. With more suitable flower pots, it is an excellent decoration for decorating the house during the new year''s festival.


    At first, mother Lin felt that it was a luxury to invest 100 liang of silver in this flowery house just to raise a few pots of flowers. But during the Mid Autumn Festival and the Double Ninth Festival, in addition to the 20 or 30 pots of high-quality camellia and chrysanthemums, the rest were taken away by a special flower business member of the Shen family. There were less than 20 potted flowers in total, and they sold 1600 taels of silver all at once, which made Lin''s mother jump. One pair of rare green chrysanthemums sold for 500 taels of silver. Because these were made with leisurely private money, the silver naturally entered her own purse. Of course, leisurely in private or filial piety to the mother, three hundred taels of silver do not mention.


    It is rare that camellia is cultivated leisurely. In addition to the most rare green chrysanthemum, the rest of the chrysanthemums are not ordinary products. The Han family and the Shen family collected the flowers they sent leisurely. Except for the ones they left to see, the rest were sent to their relatives and friends. Naturally, they got a lot of praise. Naturally, they don''t give leisurely silver directly, but they all give her the best headdress material. They are all exquisite and can be used as dowries directly, but they are more valuable than gold and silver. Lin''s mother saw that her daughter was about to buy all the dowries. She was depressed that she couldn''t explain clearly. She had to take her maids to make the dowry more elaborate.


    Since then, Shen Zeyi has to visit relatives and friends, send some local instruments, and manage the shop and farm. Sometimes, marquis Shen will send some affairs to him. In his spare time, he has to take time to review his lessons. Even the Lin family has been in the future for a long time. Fortunately, they often ask the little guy to send something to show their heart.


    Shen Xi has become more and more used to staying in Hou''s residence for a long time. Shen Ze often brings some trinkets to see her. If she doesn''t talk about it, it''s all the girls who have such a younger sister all of a sudden. They are also very fond of her. It was cold in winter, and the schoolwork of the girls stopped. In particular, Fang Xinsu, who was entrusted by leisurely, took good care of her. Once upon a time, Fang Xinsu taught her a few poems in her spare time. Unexpectedly, Shen Xi had a good memory, but he recited them after listening to them several times. All of a sudden aroused the fun of Fang Xinsu as a teacher. Since then, Fang Xinsu taught Shen Xi for half an hour every day. In the past, Chiang taught her daughter to recite some enlightenment articles such as "thousand character essay" and "hundred family surnames". However, because Shen Xi was still young at that time, Chiang was afraid that she would hurt her fingers if she held the pen too early, so he never taught her to practice calligraphy.


    Now, Shen Xi is six years old. When it''s time to practice calligraphy, Fang Xinsu teaches her to recognize ten big characters every day. If she writes each character ten times, she can recognize it almost. Shen Xi is clever. She does what Fang Xinsu asks her to do. She is very serious, so Fang Xinsu likes her more and more. In addition, Shen Xiang, who also likes to play with Shen Xi, often comes to di Cui Zhai. She had learned all these things before, but what Fang Xinsu said was different from what the teacher said. Fang Xinsu talked more carefully and interestingly. After listening to it twice, he came to report every day. Although Fang Xinsu has a higher temperament, she is also very fond of children. Both of them are obedient and clever, which fully satisfies her pleasure of being a teacher. For a short time, di Cui Zhai became a paradise for children.


    Just a few years ago, a decree came from the palace. Shen Tian''s marriage to the fifth prince was scheduled for August next year. After all, she married into the royal family, so the most important thing for the Marquis now is to prepare for Shen Tian''s marriage. Han''s busy feet are not touching the ground. Shen Ying''s older ones are OK. Originally, she was afraid that the two younger ones would be wronged. Now, seeing Fang Xinsu holding them in front of her, she is secretly relieved.


    Leisurely, as Shen Xi''s future sister-in-law, will often visit her in the government. If you don''t say it, you have to make some delicate sachets to show her. Time flies, and in the twinkling of an eye it''s the end of the year. As soon as they enter the lunar month, Lin''s mother sends the three old Liu''s grandparents and grandchildren back to Lin''s village to clean their ancestral home, although they have settled down here now. But I still have to go back to my hometown to worship my ancestors and celebrate the new year.


    Leisurely prepared all kinds of new year''s gifts early in the morning, and had to go to the Han and Shen families to send gifts in person. Meng insisted that she stay at home for a few days. At the end of the year, the managers of Chuang Tzu shops came to pay the bills and deliver the new year''s goods. Hearing that Meng had just recognized a adopted daughter this year, and seeing that Meng had brought her around in person, we knew that she was a favorite. Meng had no daughter. She was a serious adopted daughter, and her status was higher than that of the rest of Han''s concubines. These managers are all like monkey spirits. When they know this, they have to prepare another thick gift for you.


    On the other hand, leisurely''s adoptive father is a great Minister of the Ministry of official affairs, the fat poor among the fat poor. There is an endless stream of officials who give gifts to the government next year. When the family members saw leisurely, they all presented a valuable gift, including some rare things.


    Leisurely see himself in the courtyard of Han house full of all kinds of things, in the heart also some uneasy, for fear that he received things should not be received. It''s necessary to talk with Meng, who said with a smile, "I''ve read all the gift lists, and it''s nothing out of the ordinary. It''s all rules. You just keep it. If you don''t accept it, they will feel insecure. " Leisurely said with a smile, "if it wasn''t for my mother''s light, how could they know who I am? If I accept all these things, I really feel uneasy. I don''t think my mother will take them to the warehouse. "


    Seeing that she was not greedy and generous, Meng''s heart secretly rewarded her. Knowing that she must have never experienced such uneasiness, she said in a soft voice, "since it is pointed out to you, you just keep it at ease. Can we still lack your idea in our house? You don''t want to be cheap. If you want to be selfish, you might as well give it all to you. You can take it for you. When you go home, I''ll send someone to deliver it to you. "


    So when leisurely came, he just brought a car of things. When he went back, he brought two cars of things.

 Chapter 115

    When she got home, Lin''s mother was surprised to see many things. "How did your adoptive mother give you so many things?" Leisurely said it again.


    In addition to the meeting ceremony, Meng also gave her a gift according to the rules of her daughter. Among them, there are a set of red gold inlaid with emerald, a set of red gold dotted with emerald, a set of pearl, a set of agate, four sets of clothes, two cloaks and some gold and silver ornaments. Knowing that she likes painting and calligraphy, Meng sent her two paintings by famous contemporary artists, two high-class duaninkstones, four new books and some ink.


    Looking at a set of red gold jewelry leisurely picked out to give her, Lin''s mother smacked her tongue and said, "in the past, I only heard that the rich and noble style of the Duke''s home is extraordinary, but now I have finally seen it. You''re just a adopted daughter of the Han family. You''ve got so many festivals. I really don''t know how far the dowry will go when Miss Shen goes out of the cabinet? " Seeing that her daughter''s private room is more and more rich, Lin''s mother can accept her daughter''s filial piety.


    Leisurely smile, "the prince''s daughter married, that is not ten li red makeup? The eldest girl is married to the royal family this time, and only has more dowries. When the time comes, the government will send a message to our family. When the time comes, my mother and I will go to the ceremony together, won''t we know? "


    Lin Mu nodded, "if you really have a chance to go to a feast for your eyes, this life is worth it."


    At this time, Shen Tian, who is being talked about, is sitting in the inner room of Yuehua courtyard, looking at the dowry list handed over by his mother. He is also surprised, "mother, how can there be so many things? Is it too much? "


    Han shook his head and said, "don''t worry, my mother knows. At the beginning, the dowry of the crown princess was 120, the dowry of the Grand Prince Princess was 108, and the dowry of the third prince princess was 98. The fourth Prince and concubine, who will marry next year, is also preparing a dowry for Taiwan 108. We''ll make up enough 108 units for you when we''re ready. If there''s any left, we''ll take it back when you come back. "


    Shen Tian took a look, not to mention the field property shop, the furniture on the list was amazing. The first is a huanghuali wood carving peony pattern of Su Gong Babu bed and a red sandalwood with six column shelf bed. A Lohan bed of yellow pear wood and a beauty couch of red sandalwood. In addition, piano tables, desks, tables, chairs and cabinets are all made of Huanghua pear wood and red sandalwood. In addition, there is a bookcase made of Phoebe and a Duobao Pavilion. In addition, there are also some small pieces made of red sour branches and camphor boxes. Now the best Huanghua pear and red sandalwood are very rare, that is, in the original dowry of the crown princess, there was only one Huanghua pear Babu bed, and the rest were just small pieces of furniture. In terms of value alone, these two sets of furniture are better than all the dowries of the three princesses and concubines. Not to mention the long list of jewelry, the pearls, gems and other things on it are recorded by box.


    "Is it too ostentatious to be so rich? When the third prince and concubine get married, it''s far worse than that. " Shen Tian asked hesitantly. Han shook his head and said, "when the three princesses and concubines were in their mother''s house, they were treated slowly by their stepmother, and their family background was not thick. If not married to the royal family, with the royal dowry and family support, the dowry of the three princes and concubines would be even worse. Our family is a hundred year old family. It has a deep foundation. Even if your father stayed in the south for many years, he got a lot of gold and silver. Mother''s original dowry is no less than this. Can a new family like Yu''s be able to keep up with his family? Besides, we are sending money to the royal family. Will your dowry be cheaper in the future? The emperor is only happy


    After listening to his mother''s answer, Shen Tian felt more at ease. Since the wedding date was fixed, the house of internal affairs sent another Mammy to teach the various etiquette rules and the complicated interpersonal relationship of the royal clan. Fortunately, Shen Tian is determined. After that, the princess is the fifth prince, which is not very conspicuous among the princes. In Shen Tian''s family background. These mothers dare not be presumptuous. One by one, they were quite respectful to Shen Tian, and they were very attentive. Shen Tian, however, was not very big. He was very polite to these people and learned a lot from them.


    On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Minghe academy gave the students annual leave. These days, Shen Ze was detained by his master in the academy to practice calligraphy for a month, which is called "cultivating one''s morality and cultivating one''s character, eliminating impetuosity". He was released from the college holiday.


    The next day, Shen Ze brought a pile of new year''s goods to give gifts. Lin''s people help unload the car and carry everything to the back. Finally, the list is handed over to leisurely. Leisurely unfolding the list, I saw one wild deer, five roe deer, two domestic pigs, two sheep, six live chickens, six ducks and geese, six wild chickens, four rabbits, four pairs of sea cucumbers, ten catties of abalone, sixty prawns, twelve carp and some sea rice. There are eight jars of all kinds of pickles and some stewed dishes. There are also four boxes of top-grade snacks, four boxes of candy, six pieces of silk and four boxes of tea. After reading the list, Mrs. Lin said to her daughter with a smile, "my son-in-law is sincere. How old is his Chuang Tzu? I don''t know how many things are left for our family. It''s just that since he sent it, we can''t accept it. Just give him more fruits and vegetables that we have saved. The fruits you have saved are big and sweet. It''s very nice to treat guests and give them away. And those with ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, give him some to make it easy for him to use


    After listening to this, he said with a leisurely smile, "people say that my daughter''s elbow is turning out. Now I see that my mother''s elbow is facing that person."


    Lin''s mother nodded her forehead with a smile. "You''re a girl. You''ve even arranged for me. Who am I doing this for?"


    Naturally, Shen Ze stayed in the Lin family for lunch. Lin''s mother is not so rigid. Before he left, she asked her daughter to come out to see him off. Leisurely pointed out to him the new year''s gifts one by one. Let alone the others, there were several baskets of fresh fruits and vegetables. Seeing this, Shen Ze said with a smile, "such a good thing, just keep it and give it away. We need to send this for the relationship between our two families? "


    Leisurely angry at him, "what are you saying? It''s natural for the family to enjoy the good things first. "


    Shen Ze said with a smile, "that''s true. So I''m from my own family?" Leisurely, for a moment, he made a mistake. When he said it, he was already a little regretful. Wen Yan did not answer, but asked, "when is this? Why haven''t you brought Xi back yet? "


    Shen Ze said, "it''s too busy in the new year. I''ll pick her up in two days." Leisurely then pointed to a bundle on the table and said, "here are a pair of clothes and shoes I made for her, as well as several pieces of paper-cut in the style of little rabbit she said last time. Come back, you take her back. "


    As she said, Shen Ze''s brow became more and more tight.

 Chapter 116

    "When I went to see Xi''er a few days ago, she said that you had sent her some clothes. How long has it been? How can we make a new one? I''ve told you many times that it''s better to do less needling and more rest. " Shen Ze see her right index finger on the ground out of the cocoon, not from some distressed said.


    Seeing his sincerity, leisurely in the heart, he said with a smile, "it''s nothing. I just think sister Xi has lost her mother when she is a little older. I can''t help thinking about how much I love her. Next, I have nothing good to show respect to my adoptive father and adoptive mother. It''s just this idea of needlework. If it''s not, I''ll feel like I''m in debt when I''ve got so many things in vain. "


    The servant girls had long known the opportunity to hide out. Seeing that there was no one around, Shen Ze went to her, took her hand and said, "don''t worry, I know you don''t want to owe others. I will certainly redouble my efforts, and one day I will let you stand on a high place. You don''t have to rely on others! "


    Such a deep oath came out of Shen Ze''s mouth, low and gentle, without loud voice, but leisurely felt very relieved. She nodded with a smile. "I believe you."


    In the afternoon, the sun outside the window, through the glass window, sprinkled on the two people, warmed the hearts of the couple.


    Since he made clothes for Shen Xidu, there is no reason why he didn''t make clothes for Shen Ze. Finally, Shen Ze leaves with a bundle of new clothes, shoes and socks made by his fiancee.


    On the 14th of December, three or four servants were left to watch the house. The mother and the son returned to Linjia village with the rest of the servants and two carts of things. Mr. Liu cleaned the old house in and out early in the morning, and the earthen Kang in the house was very hot.


    This time, there were a lot of people coming. The East and West Wing rooms and the main hall were full. As soon as I heard that the Enron family had come back, many gentry and rich businessmen came to the Lin family to send some new year gifts. Lin Mu and leisurely had to arrange for their servants to send back gifts one by one. The elder uncle and his family had to visit each other, as well as Enron''s former master and several familiar classmates.


    The magistrate of Baishan county is also a wise man. I heard that Enron was the entrance disciple of the head of Minghe academy, and leisurely also worshipped the Minister of the Ministry of Li as his adoptive father. I personally took someone to send me a new year''s gift and had lunch at the Lin family before I left. Lin''s mother had to invite several highly respected figures such as Uncle Lin and clan leader to accompany her.


    If we say that the princes of the Marquis''s mansion or something, although they are high in the eyes of the common people, it is because they are too high that we don''t have a very real concept. Although the county magistrate''s official position is not big, he is the official of one of his parents. People in the village see that the county magistrate takes a different look at the leisurely family. Although they are envious of the manner of the Lin family''s mother and son wearing gold and silver, no one dares to chew any tongue this time.


    Just came back to meet Yulian married, leisurely nature is with Lin mother in the past to add makeup. Considering each other''s family, mother and daughter are not too generous. Lin''s mother gave her two red feet and a gold hairpin, and leisurely gave her Embroidered Purse with a pair of red gold and lotus earrings in it. It''s just gold. It''s only a few dollars. Only that craft is made by old craftsmen, and it is worth more than gold.


    When you add makeup, you will inevitably meet cousin tingran. But tingran''s attitude is a little strange. It seems that she is hiding from her, which makes leisurely feel puzzled.


    Later, I heard that tingran''s marriage had been settled. It was a nephew of her aunt''s family. Her family was not rich, but she was well-off. There are more than 50 acres of land in my family, and I also have a reputation as a child. Tingran''s object is the second child in her family. Her mother-in-law said that when they get married, they will separate and let them live alone. A courtyard with three big blue brick houses has been prepared over there.


    I heard that my cousin''s marriage was very good, and leisurely was very happy for her. Tingran is two years older than leisurely. Since the marriage is settled, she is not ready to delay any more. The child of that family is still one year older than tingran. This year, she failed in the entrance examination. When the family saw that he was really old, they urged him to get married. Years ago, we had already gone through the process. We decided to get married on the eighth day of the first lunar month. Leisurely did not expect, but not in two or three months, her cousin was about to get married. Lin''s mother said, "last time you released wending, your aunt said it. At that time, the two families had already talked about it, but they didn''t get together. Therefore, your aunt didn''t say anything, just told me quietly."


    "Why didn''t you tell our family when fangwending was set up so that we could watch the ceremony." Leisurely strange asked. Lin Mu said with a pause, "in fact, your eldest aunt of Huizi wrote a letter to her family, but at that time you just followed your adoptive mother to her Chuang Tzu and didn''t call you."


    In fact, the fact is leisurely release, Shen Ze to the release ceremony flash tingran eyes. Because of Lin''s family background, she naturally could not find such a husband''s family, so she was unhappy after she decided to marry her. How can the eldest aunt not know what''s on her daughter''s mind? Even if I could find Shen Ze''s husband''s family, they didn''t have so much dowry! Wending that will son, tingran said nothing to tell leisurely a. She said that seeing her cousin was uncomfortable. My aunt was afraid that something might happen to her. He wrote a letter to his daughter-in-law, telling the cause and effect. So that day, mother Lin didn''t come back. She only asked people to bring back some gifts.


    After wending, the eldest aunt was afraid that her daughter would hurt herself in the end if she went to the top again. She kept tingran in the house for five months. All day long, her temper was smoothed.


    Of course, none of these Lin''s mothers told her daughter. She was afraid that her daughter would be too young to do anything inappropriate when she knew the truth. I don''t know leisurely heart has guessed a 7788, but she didn''t go to heart. After all, she is not the original owner. She just has a friendly attitude towards these people. If there is no sister fate, she will not force.


    February is spring Wei. After the fifteenth day of the first month, Enron returns to the Academy early. One is to greet the master for the new year, and the other is that the elder martial brothers give him some advice, which is more effective than studying hard at home for several months.


    And the 20th is the day of Ting Ran''s marriage, that is, if there is another conflict in private, the leisurely family must also come forward. What''s more, the two families are not so dirty. It''s just some careful thinking of the girls, which doesn''t affect the family relationship. Back and forth is also very troublesome, so leisurely mother and daughter continue to stay in the Lin village down, naturally have to send people to Han Shen two explain the situation. Meng sent someone back and said, "since there''s something wrong in my hometown, just stay a few more days. My wife, after the first month, there''s nothing wrong with getting together again." Han''s words are similar to that. Shen Ze didn''t say anything, but let the servants of the Lin family bring back some supplements. Leisurely don''t know if he is more attentive, always feel mixed in a larger tonic that package of Angelica is particularly conspicuous.

 Chapter 117

    After the new year''s Eve, most of the month will soon be spent in visiting relatives and friends to eat and drink, and in the twinkling of an eye, it is the day to add makeup.


    Early in the morning, Lin Mu and leisurely past, a business should have a few women and servant girls to help handle. In less than an hour, the color is complete. Mrs. Liu has already made her best stewed pork and braised spareribs in soy sauce. The rest of them have been washed and cut, waiting for the guests to come together before firing.


    Maybe I smell the fragrance, but at the beginning of the year, people have already crowded the main hall. The old lady of the patriarch''s family began to make up when she saw people coming. Ordinary people are just a ruler or a piece of jewelry. They are not so brilliant. But tingran''s aunt added a gold bracelet and a pair of silver hairpins. In private, Lin''s mother had brought two pieces of fine silk and two pieces of fine cloth and fifty taels of silver. This meeting son adds makeup, Lin Mu adds a pair of red gold hairpins inlaid with red agate. It''s very difficult for a village woman to wear a gold hairpin. Now, mother Lin''s hairpin is inlaid with red agate. Although it is not as valuable as the one inlaid with gems, it is rare here. In contrast, a pair of wallet leisurely put into the box is not so eye-catching. Everyone just kept praising the beautiful embroidery of the patterns on it. They all thought that it would not be valuable even if something was put in the purse. Otherwise, how could it not be bright?


    After waiting for the crowd to disperse at night, Ting ran opened her purse and was surprised to see what was inside. I saw a pair of red gold gourd Earrings inlaid with ruby the size of lotus seeds and a ring of the same texture in one purse. In the other purse is a pair of gold statues with auspicious patterns. This one gold ingot weighs two dollars, and the two small gold ingots are worth more than forty taels of silver. Looking at things, tingran can''t help but red eyes.


    But her marriage is just around the corner, and she has never had the chance to talk to her cousin again. When she came back three days later, leisurely mother and daughter went back to the capital with her packed things.


    Before we had time to send greetings to the two prefectures, a very bad news came from the northwest frontier. Erha, the leader of Kashi ethnic group, who had been nomading outside Shanhaiguan, unified several large nomadic groups nearby, tangled with tens of thousands of troops, bypassed Shanhaiguan, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and took advantage of nianguan to invade Yumen pass, which is on the northwest frontier of China. A former general of the Yumen pass colluded with foreign enemies and plotted against several generals in charge of border defense. Fortunately, Tang Haicheng, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, was very brave. Although he was unfortunately seriously injured, he still led his subordinates to fight against and kept the Kashgar army out of fangpan city.


    However, due to the delay, general Tang finally died in the battle. More than 80 members of his family, old and young, were killed by spies. Only a pair of grandsons and granddaughters who were filial to their dead mother in the mountain temple survived.


    Although the emperor was in a bad mood after receiving the military information, he was still patient to deal with the follow-up matters. First of all, there is the problem of generals. It has been a long time since Chengping in the Dakang Dynasty. A group of Ministers who can fight in the court can be brought out, but there are only a few who can fight. Now they are all staying in the border defense. The only one who is idle at home and has war experience is Shen Mingchang.


    In the early morning of that day, Shen Mingchang, still in his sleep, was invited to the Jinluan hall by the visitors from the palace. Although the Kashgar army was temporarily blocked outside fangpan City, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, fangpan city was an isolated city with limited food and grass. Without supplies, the soldiers in it could only support for more than a month at most. Therefore, it is urgent to send people to support and send supplies.


    As soon as the emperor said the matter, Shen Mingchang knew what was going on. Without any orders, he volunteered and said, "I''m willing to lead my troops to Yumen pass and defend my Dakang Dynasty to the death."


    The emperor is not a vague "well, I''ll order you to be marshal of Dingxi and lead 50000 troops to Yumen as soon as possible. Food, grass and other things will come later. Time is pressing, so don''t delay any more. It''s already daybreak today. You''d better go tomorrow morning. "


    Shen Mingchang bowed himself and said, "I will do my best to wipe out Kashgar as soon as possible." Then he went home.


    Shen Mingchang was called away in the middle of the night. Where can Han sleep? I got up early and waited. As soon as it was light, I saw my husband coming back. I couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief. But before Shen Mingchang could sit down, he said, "excuse me, madam. There are foreign invaders in the northwest frontier. I will lead the army to Yumen pass early tomorrow morning. Time is pressing, there''s no time to say more, so I''ll leave everything to my wife. I''ll go to the front yard to discuss with Mr. Dong. " Then he went to the front yard. For a moment, the whole Houfu was surrounded by an extremely tense atmosphere. Originally leisurely, he had already sent a post to visit us today. After coming to see that Han''s face is not right, naturally, it is necessary to ask in detail. This is not a secret event. Han naturally talked to her. Then Han hesitated and said, "just now your adoptive mother came and said that the fifth prince had offered to take over the position of grain and grass officer. He needed some capable young people to come to discuss with us. Zege''er volunteered to take the job. Originally, he was very likely to win in Chunwei, but now he wants to abandon the literature and join the martial arts. Don''t have a knot in your heart. "


    Leisurely biting his lips, he said, "don''t worry, madam. It''s a good thing for a good man to be ambitious and defend his country. I don''t have anything to be reluctant to. Just looking forward to their safe return. In that case, there must be many things to do in the house. I won''t make trouble here. Let''s go back first. "


    Han didn''t take her as an outsider, nodded and said, "I really don''t have any mind now, and I don''t want to leave you. You go back first. Zegol doesn''t have a mother at home, so you have to buy him a salute. It must be easy to carry. Tomorrow morning, the army will set out. "


    Leisurely side promised while hurried home.


    On the way, she had already thought about what to prepare, so she had a rough talk with her mother after going home. Then find out a piece of processed cowhide, draw the pattern, let the grass use the ox tendon quickly, take out a few thick soles, and then sew on the vamp. Time is urgent, but also do not care what kind of flowers, everything to solid and rapid as the primary goal.


    Through the blessing of the predecessors, Huizi''s military uniform has appeared in the rudiment of later generations. Leisurely then cut a few similar clothes according to that style, and find out the thickest cloth to let the servant girls sew. You don''t need embroidery or anything. Clothes are made very fast.


    Then there were some common pills, hemostatic drugs, fine cotton cloth and detoxification pills. In a word, everything she could think of was leisurely prepared.

 Chapter 118

    In the evening, Shen Ze came out of the prince''s house and rushed to the shop on the other side of Taohua lane to explain. Then he drove his horse to the Lin family. He wanted to go on a long journey, but he had to say goodbye.


    The Lin family was about to have dinner. When they saw him coming, Lin''s mother quickly took him to a seat and offered him food and drink. Everyone has their own thoughts, so there is nothing to say at the dinner table. After dinner, Mrs. Lin found an excuse to go out.


    Leisurely said, "you''ve come just in time. I''ve prepared some things for you that can be used in the March. Before you send someone to deliver them, you''ll come back. You''ll take them with you in a moment. Anyway, you have to remember that there are still people waiting for you to come back With that, his eyes turned red. Since then, military merit has always been the best shortcut to promotion and wealth, but it is also the most likely way to go. No matter what Shen Ze''s original intention is, when the war comes, the soldiers in the front should be respected. What''s more, the man in front of him is still his fiance.


    All of a sudden, leisurely was swept into a warm arms, the other party''s intense and orderly heartbeat around her ears. Shen Ze''s deep voice surrounded her ears with "wait for me." But she let her go in a moment. She was right. There were many things waiting for him to arrange and deal with. There was really not much time left.


    Shen Ze does not dare to look at leisurely. He is afraid that his determination will be shaken. When I got to the door, I heard a call, "wait a minute." Then he saw leisurely turn his back and take off an emerald jade card from his collar. He came up to him and handed it to him. "This Ping''an card was opened by an eminent monk in Xiangguo Temple. You can wear it on your body. I know you have ambition since you were young, but there is no eye on the battlefield. I only wish you a safe return. "


    The jade plate still has the warm body temperature of the beauty. Shen Ze holds it in his hand and says, "don''t worry, I will come back to marry you safely." With that, he walked away with great strides.


    After seeing off Shen Ze, leisurely is very concerned about in his heart. Meng was also afraid that she would be at home, so he took her to Han''s residence for a while. After all, marquis Han is a serious Minister of the Ministry of official affairs, and his news in the court is naturally very well-informed. If there is any change in the border war, leisurely can know earlier.


    Leisurely and Han Fu''s several concubines girls are not very congenial, daily to Meng''s morning and evening after meditation, mostly hiding in the room to do some needlework. The dowry covers, curtains, door curtains, chair covers, purse and sachet were all given to the maid. Leisurely prepared to do 24 sets of four seasons clothes as a dowry. Now it has been more than half a year, and only half of them have been made. There are still maids to help. The main reason is that she has done needlework for others in her daily work, but her own clothes are all made by servant girls.


    Hearing that leisurely''s wedding dress had not yet been made, Meng said with a smile, "the wedding dress is not urgent. As long as this battle is won, you can''t let him go in vain. I can''t say that I will be a serious official when I come back. In other words, as long as he has the ability, it''s cheaper to be a military officer than a civil servant. "


    In the Dakang Dynasty, martial arts dominated the world. Although they attached great importance to culture, they did not despise martial arts. Therefore, the status of military officer is also very high, especially for those who have a reputation like Shen Ze. If they join the army, they will be promoted faster.


    But on the battlefield, the military situation is changing rapidly, the sword is blind, and the conspiracy is constant. It is not so easy to achieve military success.


    In the twinkling of an eye, in February, there was no big news at the border. Just as Chunwei was about to arrive, leisurely he went back home to prepare things for his brother''s imperial examination with his mother.


    In the first month of this year, the emperor had personally appointed the Minister of rites, Mr. Dong Shucheng, as the chief examiner of the imperial examination, and also appointed Guozijian Jijiu, the president of Wenhua academy, the head of Hanlin academy and Zhongshu Province as an adjunct. The censor, the doctor of the Ministry of officials and the doctor of the Ministry of punishment were the inspectors. The rest of the officials, such as Dujuan, Mifeng, zhangjuan and so on, dare to make proper arrangements. On the ninth day of February, the undergraduate Chunwei examination officially began.


    The Chunwei here has also been changed. There is only one test for three days. Enter on the eighth day of junior high school and enter on the twelfth.


    On the day after the examination, I came back from the examination room, and I went to sleep before I had time to eat. I slept a day and two nights before I got up. Waiting for the day is always suffering, weekdays said again indifferent, really at this time, the heart is not anxious.


    Fortunately, on the 22nd day, a list was made at the gate of the Imperial College. Enron was on the list. The emperor turned around and returned to his seat. Xu Cai, his personal servant, immediately handed him a cup of Biluochun tea with suitable temperature. Lundetti took a sip and asked, "what''s the origin of that young man just now? Looking at it, I''m still pretty. "


    Xu Cai is not an ordinary person who can serve the emperor''s body. When Emperor Longde asked, Xu Cai immediately said, "Oh, this Jinshi has something to do with you. He was a disciple of the Han Emperor. Xie Yuan, who took a tribute test in the capital last year, was only 15 years old. He was born in a poor family. It is said that he was very popular with the Han Emperor and often taught around him. In other words, he di Du, Han Di Shi can teach such young talents. "


    Long de Di nodded, "it turns out that it''s the teacher''s student, but it''s my younger martial brother. The teacher hasn''t accepted apprentices for many years. It seems that the younger martial brother is not so old that he must be outstanding. It''s just that I''m too young. I wish I were two years older. "


    Xu Cai said in a low voice, "does your majesty want to be a son-in-law?"

 Chapter 119

    Emperor Longde shook his head. "I have read his articles, and I am not a bookworm who studies all the time. Although I am young, I may not be worthless after polishing for a few years. If I am recruited as my son-in-law, I will be a bit humble. Watch first. " After hearing this, Xu Cai knew. It seems that the emperor had written down this young master. No matter what the result of the palace examination is, as long as he doesn''t die, his future will be bright.


    On the morning of the third day, civil and military officials were waiting in the Fengtian hall in their court clothes. The imperial edict of Qianqing hall was handed down to Honglu temple, and officials sang their names inside and outside Fengtian hall. Then, another official of the Ministry of rites held the Yellow list and led it to the gate of the Forbidden City from the drum band of the Ministry of rites. The candidates who participated in the palace examination have been waiting here for a long time. After the announcement, their own officials once again publicized their names in the world.


    Enron was a little dumbfounded when he heard the name. In a flash, he was surrounded by the officials of the Ministry of rites and shuntianfu. When shuntianfu officials sent him back to the Lin family with the special umbrella guard of honor enjoyed by the champion, Enron was sober.


    The merit of the guard of honor is its vastness and magnificence, but the shortcoming is its slowness. When the guard of honor arrived at the lane where the Lin family was, people on both sides of the road had been surrounded by the news. If there were no soldiers in front of the road, Enron would not be able to go home smoothly.


    Fortunately, at this time, he was sober. When he got to the door of his house, he got down from the sedan chair and had to invite the officials who followed him all the way home to have tea. These officials of the honor guard were all low-ranking officials of shuntianfu. Naturally, they were happy to make friends with the number one scholar, and they came in one after another to talk. Even the musicians and soldiers who followed, naturally, also had the thick red envelope on the bag.


    Now that the Yellow list is down, people who have got the news, whether they knew it or not, come to congratulate them one after another. Leisurely, mother and daughter are busy all day, but they are safe. They are not at home because they have to go to the ceremony department to receive a banquet and study etiquette in Honglu temple. On the contrary, they are quite clean.


    On the fifth day of March, Emperor Longde gave the first scholar Lang''s Royal robe, crown belt and Jinshi treasure money, and held a Jinshi gathering at bibotang on the Bank of the moat river, commonly known as the spring feast. Enron had no choice but to change into a brand-new red No. 1 uniform and cross Mayou street with the Jinshi on the streets of the capital.


    Both sides of the street have been surrounded by onlookers for a long time. Fortunately, with his own identity, Meng decided to set up the largest private room on the third floor in Yipin Curie near biboting, and invited leisurely mother and daughter and the family members of Zhongyi Marquis''s house to watch the ceremony.


    With the news that Enron won the first place, the girls in the two prefectures really put leisurely in their eyes. In the past, although she was accepted by Meng family as an adopted daughter, except for Fang Xinsu who really looked up to her, she was ridiculed by these young ladies because of her servant girl background. It was Meng who accepted her as her adopted daughter, and everyone felt that she must have been fawning on her. Now that her younger brother has won the first prize, she is about to prosper. People look at her differently. From now on, who dares to say that she comes from a bad family?


    Leisurely used to think that modern people were crazy about chasing stars, but the ancients were also very fierce. I saw a lot of big girls and little daughters-in-law throwing handkerchiefs and purses into the crowd. Although there were more than 100 Jinshi on the street, Enron was wearing a bright red robe, which was very different from other Jinshi. Leisurely suddenly saw his brother.


    Generally speaking, we seldom see a foreigner. Nowadays, it''s rare to see such a man all at once. We can''t help commenting. Enron as today''s protagonist, but also the birth of Yushulinfeng, inevitably be seen a few more. They couldn''t talk to the champion, so they began to tease leisurely.


    Leisurely and in a good mood, naturally they are just allowed to make fun of themselves.


    At the end of the spring feast, there was the Qionghua banquet held by the royal family, and then went to Wenchang building to worship Confucius. Enron wrote a letter and asked him to return home to worship his ancestors.


    There are not only the number one scholars, but also people from all over the world who have won the Jinshi. After years of hard study in the cold window, he finally won the gold medal and leaped to the dragon''s gate. Naturally, they all want to go back to their original places to worship their ancestors.


    For the first three, Emperor Lund was appointed as an official in the early days. Lin Enron was not only the first scholar of new science, but also the face of Han imperial master. He was directly granted the title of compiling from the Imperial Academy of liupin. Both of them are based on the review of Qipin. Some of the rest of the Jinshi had become good officials, but most of them had planned to be released. Emperor Han''s identity is valuable. He has his own way to see the examination papers. After reading it, he said to Enron, "your knowledge is not bad. This article is well written, but the articles about ranking and exploring flowers are in the middle of Bo Zhong''s. Since your majesty ordered you to be the number one scholar, in addition to being a teacher, you are more important. You must remember why today''s glory comes from. When you become an official in the court in the future, you should remember the four words "loyal to the king and serve the country". You should be careful in everything you say and do, and you must not be arrogant. " Enron responded respectfully. Seeing that his little disciple was still childish, he thought about it and said, "of course, you are a student of the teacher. You can''t be arrogant, but you can''t be bullied. Xue Pengyun, the master of Hanlin academy, was the eldest grandson of my enlightening teacher. This year, he was just over 30 years old. He was the biographer of Longde for four years, and he was also a young talent. You can visit before you start. In addition, there are several Hanlin, who are students of our college. You can visit them as much as possible. " This is a clear way for Enron. Enron immediately and solemnly thanks his teacher. After returning to Linjia village to offer sacrifices to his ancestors, he had to follow the teacher''s instructions and visit the elder martial brothers'' homes one by one.


    At this time, the benefits of having a strong master will come out. Without having to worry about planning, a broad future will come out. When he went to visit scholar Xue''s home, Lord Xue warmly received him. As soon as I met him, I said, "when I was in the meeting, I saw my younger brother''s strategy. He wrote in regular script, which is really a good word. The article is concise and comprehensive, which is quite insightful. At that time, I was wondering what this man looked like? During the palace examination, I was also on the side of the inspection. At that time, I felt that my younger brother was gentle and distinguished, but I didn''t expect that my younger brother was the master of the strategy. Later, it wasn''t until your majesty ordered the number one that you matched the article. Sure enough, the younger brother has the style of Han imperial master. He really has the talent of number one scholar. " Enron quickly rebuffed, "the adults are flattered. The students are still young. They need to learn more like adults in the future." Seeing that Enron was more formal, Mr. Xue said with a smile, "you don''t have to be like this. As far as we are concerned, we are also serious brothers. We should get closer in the future. In private, you just call me brother."


    At this time, a servant girl came back and said, "the old lady and the old lady, when they heard that the new No. 1 scholar was coming, they all wanted to see the style of No. 1 scholar."

 Chapter 120

    Xue Pengyun laughed and said, "my grandmother is over seventy years old this year. She likes to see some pretty children most. I wonder if younger martial brother Lin appreciates it? " Enron quickly said with a smile, "elder martial brother is polite. I should have taken the initiative to greet the old lady."


    The old lady of the Xue family is 70 years old, but she is still deaf. She was young and widowed, but she had a strong disposition. She brought up her two sons and cultivated them into talents. The eldest son was the grand Bachelor of wenyuange, who served as the imperial supervisor of Guozijian, and the second son was the imperial censor of Jindu, who served as the imperial governor of zhengsipin. XueDa is accompanying him in the palace. Master Xueer was sent to Jiangsu and Zhejiang last month. Otherwise, Enron would like to send greetings to these two old people. People of this age had nothing to avoid. After seeing Enron with a smile, Mrs. Xue praised her from the beginning to the heel. Then she asked the servant girl to bring a thick gift. Xue Pengyun''s mother and two aunts also gave a big gift.


    Then Enron went to visit the elder martial brothers mentioned by several masters one by one. When they saw that the younger martial brother did not reach the weak crown, he got the first prize in liberal arts. He was gentle and polite, without a trace of arrogance. Seeing a bright future, they were happy to make a good relationship.


    With the help of several elder martial brothers, Enron had a lot of opportunities to change himself. In less than half a year, he got a firm foothold in the Hanlin Academy. Of course, this will not be mentioned later.


    At this time, Enron finally received a letter from his fiance sent back from the frontier. The main idea of the letter is that they have won several small victories together at the border, and now the war has basically stabilized. Now, for a moment, the enemy does not dare to invade, but it is extremely disturbing to send small groups of soldiers to invade the common people living near Yumen pass. Then I heard that my brother-in-law won the first prize. I had to congratulate him. The last sentence says that the war is changeable, and my return date is uncertain. I hope you will take care of yourself. After tomorrow''s achievements, Feng guanxia gave it to Qing Qing''er.


    In this era, only the official''s wife can wear fengguanxiayao according to her husband''s grade. Shen zexinli''s disclosure shows his ambition. However, compared with returning home, leisurely still looks forward to the man''s safe return. Only by living can we have a future.


    The border war has been in a stalemate. Not only can Marquis Shen not return, but also the fifth prince in charge of logistics can''t come back for a while. Qin Tianjian originally determined the wedding date in July, but now it is the end of June, and the fifth Prince has no intention of returning to the court. At first, Emperor Longde wanted the officials of the Ministry of rites to welcome the prince and concubine. Then he thought that the father of the fifth daughter-in-law was still defending the enemy at the border. At this time, the border war was in a stalemate. The fifth prince was the son-in-law of the loyal marquis. With him watching, his father-in-law would not suffer. In the same way, the safety of the fifth Prince is greatly guaranteed by the loyal marquis. Therefore, it is really not good to replace the fifth prince at this time.


    The emperor Longde thought for a long time that the loyal Marquis had only one daughter. If the marriage was too simple, don''t let the loyal minister feel aggrieved. So he ordered the fifth Prince''s marriage to be postponed and told qintianjian to choose another auspicious day after the fifth prince returned to court.


    I didn''t expect that this battle would last more than two years. During this period, you and I will come and go, and win and lose each other. In the end, ye song, an assistant general of the Zhongyi Marquis, led 5000 troops, turned from Jiayuguan to the enemy''s rear, raided Kashgar''s base camp, killed Kashgar Khan king and his two sons, resulting in internal chaos in Kashgar. Shen Mingchang, who had received the signal, led his men to correspond with Ye song inside and outside, and finally wiped out more than 60000 people in Kashgar and captured more than 30 survivors of Kashgar royal family alive.


    As soon as the news came out, he was all excited. We should know that in the past two years, because of the border war, the financial situation between the DPRK and China was very tight. Lund de Di took the lead in reducing his share. Not to mention, he also cancelled many unnecessary Royal banquets. In this way, the superior and the inferior, that is, the common people do not dare to make some lively scenes. Around the capital, there are even fewer people getting married. Now that we have won the battle, we can breathe a sigh of relief.


    Today, leisurely go to Hou''s house to send greetings to Han. Han is in a good mood today. "Lord Hou sent a letter. The army has already started. They will come back in a month or two at most. This time, ze''er made a great contribution. Originally, he was already a thousand families with five grades. This time, I think the official rank will be promoted again. I just don''t know what grade it will be? Don''t rush to embroider your wedding dress. Your Majesty''s reward will be decided. " Leisurely said with a smile, "promotion or not is nothing. The most important thing is that he will come back safely. This time, the Marquis has made his first contribution. I can''t say that the Marquis''s title can go any further. "


    After hearing this, Han''s face was not very good-looking. She sighed and said, "you are not an outsider. You grew up in this mansion since you were a child. The one in Ninghui courtyard alone is not like a stranger. How many times did the Marquis go through life and death for the royal family in exchange for this idea? When he was at the border, he didn''t see many people coming. As soon as the news of the victory came out, he was flattered. I don''t like this. If they are all like zege''er, they are not afraid of hardship and suffering, and they know how to make progress, I don''t say. Isn''t the Marquis concerned about the people? How can there be so many good things if they just want to follow behind and pick up ready-made cheap ones? As you said, now I only hope that they will come back safely, and those who will not be promoted will be next. However, if the Marquis''s title goes further, it will be better for Tian to go out in the future. " Two people said some other gossip, leisurely had to go back to the backyard. She went to Shen Tian first, but Fang Xinsu and Shen Xi were also here. When you leisurely go in, Fang Xinsu is sitting on one side with a smile, watching Shen Tian, the future fifth prince, personally give Shen Xi and Shen Xiang two small lessons.


    Seeing her coming, Shen Tian stopped and said, "this time, some days have not come. What do you think of our sister Xi?" Shen Xi ran to leisurely and said, "sister Lin, why did you come so long this time?" Leisurely picked her up. "There are some things in my sister''s house. I came here as soon as I finished my work? I haven''t seen you for a few days. Xi''er has sunk a lot. It seems that he has been eating well recently, right? "


    Shen Xi nodded his head. "I''m very good." Leisurely said, "didn''t you want to see the rabbit last time? I''ve brought a couple for you and let mom put them in your yard. Do you want to have a look? "¡° If you want to see it, you have to see it. Sister Lin, it''s very kind of you. " Shen Xi said happily, then he took Shen Xiang''s hand and said, "second sister, let''s go to see the rabbit." Shen Xiang is also like small animals age, quickly follow up.

 Chapter 121

    Shen Tian said, "let the servant women follow you to watch carefully. Don''t let them play too much. Just play in the yard. Don''t take the rabbit to the inner room Both of them agreed not to mention it.


    After the two little ones left, Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "look at you two, you are so proud that your lover is coming back. Ah, I''m going to take out two make-up gifts in a row. Originally, private houses were not rich, but now they have to be reduced by 20 percent. "


    Shen Tian nodded her forehead with a smile, "your private house is not rich? Apart from the dowry left by your aunt and father, the dowry given by the Empress Dowager alone is enough for your granddaughter to get married. What else do you want? " Leisurely also said, "the princess is becoming more and more narrow now. We are arranged today. Won''t we find our brother-in-law in the future?" Fang Xinsu heard this, angry red face, ran over to twist leisurely mouth, Shen Tian quickly protect leisurely.


    When Fang Xinsu saw that they had become a group, he stamped his feet and said, "are you two ashamed to bully me?" Shen Tian said with a smile, "what is partnership? Leisurely will marry to our family to be our daughter-in-law. It''s just a family, but it''s also a partnership? " Three people again make a while, know exhausted just give up.


    During the fighting, the three men''s hair bun was a little scattered, and the servant girls hurriedly held the dowry to wash them. Fang Xinsu saw that leisurely Rouge was a little light, so he said, "I see that the powder on your face is light, so it''s better to let them have a basin of water, and you can freshen it up." Leisurely from the mirror to see their make-up is really some chaos, then nodded.


    After a while, a little maid came in with a basin of water. Seeing that the three girls in the room were all dressing up, she couldn''t make up her mind. Or jade sandalwood waved, "this way." The little servant girl had heard that the master wanted water to wash her face. She thought it was the big girl or the watch girl who wanted water. Unexpectedly, it was Miss Lin who wanted to wash her face. Don''t think that she didn''t know when she came late. This man was just a servant girl. It was only by fawning on her husband that she decided to give it to the Marquis''s nephew after redeeming herself. Now, I''m not very happy with the music of the master.


    The little servant girl wriggles to put the copper basin in front of you ran, and the jade Tan Gang ties up the towel, but she just bends over and holds the copper basin. It''s not convenient to wash her face like this. Jade tan just want to talk, but was leisurely secretly pulled a, jade Tan look at his young lady''s face, know that she is not want to have more trouble, then patience. Fang Xinsu also saw this scene, but it was the girl in her cousin''s room after all. She was not very talkative. Just at this time, Shen Tianli finished his hair bun and came out of the inner room to see this scene. At the moment, "where does this little servant girl come from? How can such unruly things be put in my room? Let her go down, and don''t let me see her again. " That''s the end of her life.


    The little servant girl was called Hongzhi. She thought she was a supporter, so she acted so boldly. After hearing this, I was afraid. As soon as I was about to cry, I was stopped by two women and dragged out. Then, the second-class servant girl beside Fang Xinsu, Lvbo, took care of herself, washed her face leisurely, wiped the powder again, straightened her hair bun, and took away the copper basin and dowry.


    Seeing leisurely, Shen Tiancai said, "how can you be good-natured now? Where''s the prestige of the former servant girl? Was she bullied by a little girl? "


    Without waiting to speak leisurely, Fang Xinsu said to her, "but now she''s not the big maid beside her aunt. She''s a guest of your Marquis''s house, and she can''t be the master of the house. Don''t be careful in everything? Well, you''re not to blame. I see that little girl is very arrogant. The rules are so bad that she can come into your room. I think the backstage is also very hard, isn''t it? "


    Qinghe quickly pleaded guilty and said, "the princess really has bright eyes. This little girl is a niece of Qi''s mother. When Qi''s mother sent her over, she also said that she knew that the little girl was spoiled by her family and didn''t dare to wait on her master. Just want to let her to our yard to do a rough play, girl, after you come out of the cabinet, at least you can get a reputation of serving the prince and concubine. The maid thought it was a small matter, so she didn''t tell the girl. I thought I would just let her do some rough work like sweeping in the yard, but today I let her into the house. It''s all the servant''s dereliction of duty. Please punish me


    Shen Tian sighed and said, "for the sake of your heart, let''s forget about this time. I''ll punish you for half a month. It''s just that I can''t have similar incidents in my yard in the future. The little servant girl let Qi''s mother take her back. She said that she was against me and should not stay in Yunshu Pavilion. " Qinghe agreed to go. Seeing that the master and servant of Yun Shuxuan were not happy, leisurely in the end, he was a little uneasy, so he said, "it''s all my fault, which makes you angry, and hurts the face of Qi mother." Before his voice fell, Shen Tian said, "what''s the matter with you? Do you have to be a master to accommodate them? Say, also want to be glad that you are not an outsider, if really in front of the outsider out of such a stubble. It''s not the reputation of our Marquis''s house that''s bad? Speaking of all, since the news of my father''s victory came out, I saw that all the servants in the house were overjoyed. It''s time to wake them up. Is it not a shame for father to come up with any more accidents due to such carelessness? "


    Since Qi''s mother has been with Han for many years, she naturally has her own source of information. After learning what happened to Yun Shuxuan, Qi''s mother gritted her teeth angrily. This smelly girl actually offended the big girl. She really didn''t know what to do. Nowadays, the big girls only say that they are sent out because of the clash of eight characters. They always take care of their own face. Ah, she had to go to make an apology to the big girl herself.


    Hearing that Qi''s mother came, Shen Tian''s eyes narrowed, but she thought, it seems that Qi''s mother''s means are not small. She knew it so soon. Then he said quietly, "my clothes are wrinkled. Qinghe, change my clothes first. I''ll see my mother again."


    Seeing that Shen Tian had something to do, he stood up leisurely and said, "I''ll go to Haitang hospital to see sister Xi." Fang Xinsu also stood up and said, "I''ll stop by to see if the little rabbit you brought is good-looking? In the past, I used to bring a few hand-made bags and sachets with me from time to time. Now I''m getting more and more stingy, just picking up some ready-made common things. It''s not easy to have fun ideas. I only care about my sister-in-law, and I don''t think about my cousin and me. "


    Leisurely said angrily, "you are a real person. Just now, when I ate my cherry, I was full of praise, but now I''m like this. I brought some fresh mandarin fish. If you say so, don''t eat them at noon. " Fang Xinsu quickly took her hand and said, "good sister, don''t you know me? I''m just talking about fun. "

 Chapter 122

    They say goodbye to Shen Tian with a smile. When they get to the yard, they just meet Qi''s mother who is waiting for Shen Tian. Qi''s mother gives them a present. She turns aside and receives half of the gift, but Fang Xinsu receives the whole gift happily. After the ceremony, Qi''s mother said to you with a smile, "I heard that my niece, who is not a tool, has lost her face. It''s all because of my improper training. Please don''t blame her." He said that he was about to give a big gift to Youran. He was stopped by Youran all of a sudden. "Mom, what are you doing? How many years of friendship have we had? What''s wrong with my mother''s behavior? I''ve always been cautious in my words and actions, and I won''t take the wrong step again. But whose family doesn''t have many bad relatives? Mother will take people back, and then good conditioning is the person. You don''t have to


    Qi''s mother said with a smile, "girl, just don''t blame me. By the way, just now, my wife said, "I''ll set a table in the small flower hall at noon to let the girls go and have fun." Just at this time, Lvqi came out and said, "mother Qi, the girl has changed her clothes. Please go in." Hearing the speech, Qi''s mother said goodbye to them. "In this way, the old slave went first."


    Leisurely and Fang Xinsu go to the Begonia yard with each other. The servant girls are far behind, and they can''t say something private all the way. When I came to a pond, I saw that the lotus had sprouted a small bud. Fang Xinsu stood on the edge of the pond and leisurely said, "in two months, I want to come here to see ''the lotus leaves are boundless blue, and the lotus flowers are different red in the sun''


    Looking at the lotus leaves in front of me, I said leisurely, "since ancient times, there have been countless poems about lotus. But what I like most is yuan Yuzhi''s saying, "after a sudden rain, pearls are scattered everywhere, hitting all over the new lotus."


    Fang Xinsu covered his mouth with a smile. "His poem is not a praise of lotus, it''s like a chant of life¡® When you think of the beautiful scenery on a good day, don''t let it pass. "Is that what you want to say? In a word, Yuan Haowen''s literary talent is not inferior to that of the eight famous writers in Tang and Song Dynasties, but because of his alien origin, he has never been liked by literati. There are not many poems about him, and I have only read a few. I didn''t expect you to read his poems, too. "


    Leisurely heart said that I read it in my last life. However, after she came here, she actually bought a Book of his poems, and said with a smile, "there are many bookstores near Wenhua academy, and there are countless kinds of books in it, such as the vast stars. I have changed some relatively unpopular poems there. I''ll bring you some books some other day. He has a poem "Yanqiu Ci" which I like best. I don''t know if you have read it? "


    "Yanqiu Ci"? No, I''ve only read his "farewell at Yingting", "Magnolia slow" and "new Lotus hit by sudden rain". If you like it, it will be good. Read it to me Fang Xinsu took her arm and said coquettishly.


    See two people in the pond for a while and a half will have no intention to go, there has long been a nearby mother-in-law know machine took a thick mat to spread in the pond on the stone bench. He took Fang Xinsu to sit down and said, "there''s another story in this poem Yanqiu CI. It says that Yuan Haowen met a wild goose hunter on his way to kaofu and said to him," today, I''ll get a wild goose and kill it. The man who took off the net lamented that he could not go, but he threw himself to the ground and died. " The literati bought the pair of wild geese and buried them on the Bank of Fenshui River. Mr. Yishan felt this and made this poem "Yanqiu CI."


    After a pause, she intoned, "what is love in the world? Do you want to live and die together? Double flyer from all over the world, old wing several times cold and heat. Joy and bitterness of parting make us more infatuated. You should have the language of misty clouds, mountains dusk snow, only the shadow to whom? Hengfen Road, lonely when Xiao drum, smoke is still flat Chu. What is the soul of Chu? Mountain ghosts cry in the wind and rain. The day is also jealous, not letter and, Yinger Yanzi are loess. Through the ages, in order to wait for the poets, they sing and drink wildly and visit Yanqiu. "


    When reciting this word, I think of her father who died in a car accident in her distant previous life. There is also the man who once promised himself to be together for life, but decided to go abroad for further study because of his future. She has passed through nearly ten years. She thought that those things had been forgotten for a long time, but she still remembered them today.


    Leisurely raised his head, hard to blink, the tears in the eyes forced back. The past and the past are like smoke and cloud, since God let her come again, then she will live well.


    It was Fang Xinsu. After listening to this poem, he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his mind. "It''s just Xiayi. Shangyi is so sad and touching. I''ve never heard of it before." Leisurely smile and say, "who is in power now, not three wives and four concubines? Even the literate masters who say they don''t want to take concubines are still surrounded by prostitutes. It''s just a little more covert. How many of them are clean? Naturally, these people will not like such poems praising the loyalty of love, and will not vigorously promote them. We women are trapped in the back house all our lives. Even if we want to read a few books, we have passed several hands. Who will show us such poems? "


    Fang Xinsu nodded and said, "you''re right, but they won''t let me see it. I want to see it. Next time, you''ll have to show me this anthology. It''s said that nowadays, the generation of men is not as good as the generation. The people who wipe grease and powder are more feminine than the women. I really don''t know what''s wrong with the world. "


    Leisurely comfort way "you don''t worry well, the palace has the Empress Dowager to take care of, the madam there will certainly help you to plan, you will certainly find a satisfactory husband in the future."


    Fang Xinsu twisted her all of a sudden, "let you arrange me." While they were talking and laughing, they walked forward, and the servant girl behind them was clean after a while.


    After they left, a man turned out from behind the rockery beside the pond and looked at their figure in a daze. Before that, he was quite able to speak to his wife, even the princess''s cousin gave him face. When did it start? I couldn''t even compare with a servant girl in this house? The man stood in the same place for a while, until the girl came to look for him, then he turned to his yard.


    This man is no other than Shen Ying.


    They went to Haitang yard to see two little girls and rabbits for a while. Leisurely specially picked a little rabbit for more than two months. Bai Baijing is small and cute. Even Fang Xinsu couldn''t help touching it.


    Just after watching for a while, a woman from Yuehua hospital came to invite her. She said that the banquet was ready and invited several girls to have dinner. Before leaving, Shen Xi also told the little servant girl to "be sure to watch Xuebai and Zhuhong, and don''t forget to drink water for them."


    That affectation posture, provoked leisurely and Fang Xinsu two cover their mouths to snicker.

 Chapter 123

    Leisurely, he brought a lot of mandarin fish from his home. Han ordered the kitchen to arrange a dinner for mandarin fish, including squirrel mandarin fish, steamed mandarin fish, scallion braised mandarin fish, and some seasonal dishes. All the girls of Hou family gathered here and had a rich dinner for mandarin fish. Mandarin fish has few spines, tender meat and delicious taste. Houfu likes to eat fish from top to bottom. It''s natural to treat each other with a smile when it comes to bringing such delicious food. Therefore, this lunch is a feast for guests and hosts.


    With lunch, leisurely and people said a few words, then got up to leave, Han as usual life catkins will send her out. They went to the corner door with each other. Seeing that the servant girls were in front of them, they asked in a low voice, "what''s madam''s attitude towards the second lady? I remember that she and I are the same age. We are both 20 years old this year. How come there is no sign of engagement


    Fly catkins slant her one eye "how, when did you meddle in this kind of business?" Leisurely fly, she a white eye "I which is to meddle in business?"? I''m just thinking about the reputation of my wife and the eldest girl. As soon as the Marquis is is coming back, the marriage of the two girls is not yet settled. After all, she is the daughter of the marquis. When the Marquis sees that his daughter is so old, she has no mother-in-law, and his wife is not busy. If the Marquis doesn''t say anything, won''t he feel uncomfortable? "


    Feixu said, "why didn''t the lady give her any publicity? Originally, when the Marquis didn''t go to the border, his wife began to make arrangements for her marriage. Although the second young lady was very arrogant for a while after the arrogant young master was sent to Chuang Tzu by the Marquis, her wife still chose some middle-class official families with simple family affairs for her. Even though she is the daughter of Hou family, she is a common girl. If she wants to marry her son, she can only go to these families. It''s just that our two girls are so ambitious that they want to marry the Duke''s residence, but they have to marry their own son. I don''t know who I am. Later, the Marquis didn''t know what he said to the second girl, but she was much more honest. But then the Marquis went to the border. In the past two years, his wife was so worried that she didn''t care to talk to her. Two days ago, the lady said that when the Marquis came back, she would make a marriage appointment for the first young master, the second young master and the second girl. Fortunately, in recent years, late marriage prevails in Beijing, and the second girl is not very old. "


    It suddenly dawned on you that "so it is. Her identity is not as good as that of the third girl. The third girl is obviously born by your concubine, much higher than that of the second girl''s maidservant. If you blindly focus on the difference between the portals, it will be embarrassing if the high is not the low. "


    Feixu frowned and said, "isn''t it? Because it''s difficult to deal with it, so the lady will wait for the Lord to come back and make an engagement for her, so as to save her any complaints. "


    Leisurely back home, just to see the younger brother holding a box of things to his mother. Seeing her coming back, Lin''s mother said with a smile, "come here and have a look at your brother''s face." Then he put the box on the table and put it to his daughter.


    There is a set of red gold head inlaid with emeralds. Among them is a Chaoyang five Phoenix hairpin and a pair of silk hairpins with beads. In addition, there are top hairpins, Tiaoxin, small inserts, bracelets, rings and so on. Leisurely, the size, color and workmanship of the beads are not much worse than those in her dowry. He asked, "where did you get this? Where did you get so much silver? "


    No wonder leisurely asked, Enron''s salary is several, and the Imperial Academy is a Qingshui Yamen. His salary is less than two hundred taels of silver a year, which is barely enough for his daily expenses in the Yamen. Now, if you take out such a box of good things, why don''t you doubt it.


    Enron said with a smile, "it''s nothing. Didn''t I say that last time? One of my elder martial brother''s clansmen specializes in sea trade business. Now their family is not short of money, so they want to let their descendants study and become officials. But that man''s eldest son is not a successful one. He can''t recruit many famous teachers. Later, they came to me, and I took the exam. If you think he is a talented person, you should come down and instruct him in his lessons several times a month. That''s not true. A few days ago, the boy got a scholar''s test. They were very happy at home. His father just gave me a red envelope and two small boxes as a thank-you. Later, I went home and opened it. The two boxes contained a box of emeralds and a box of sapphires. I''ll take it to the silver chamber to give my mother and sister a set of face, or to make up for my sister. "


    Leisurely said, "even so, is it too generous for their family? Is it not worth four or five hundred taels of silver? " Enron waved his hand. "It''s all right, sister. Their family is engaged in sea trade. These things are rare to us. There is no lack of them at home."


    "Even so, you should keep such a good gem for future marriage. There are already several sets of jewel heads in my dowry, which is enough. " Leisurely said.


    Enron retorted, "my elder sister said that she was born with me. Isn''t my elder sister the one who earned all of our family property? Now I''m just giving my sister a face. What''s the matter? "


    Lin''s mother also advised, "since it''s your brother''s intention, you can take it." Leisurely this just smiles to accept "since so, that I thank younger brother very much."


    "You''re welcome, elder sister. Elder martial brother Shen is coming back, and elder sister''s dowry should be prepared. Just tell me what you need. I''ll prepare. What''s more, do you want to take out my sister''s gold jewelry and blow it up again? " Asked Enron.


    After listening to his brother''s words, he nodded his head leisurely. "I remember when you said that. Some heads are old-fashioned. Now that you''ve all spoken, I''ll find them out tomorrow. How about leaving the job to you?"


    Enron said, "I will live up to my mission."


    Lin''s mother said, "well, your adoptive mother is really nice to you. I thought that she would give you ten pieces of furniture. Unexpectedly, there was a yellow rosewood imperial concubine''s couch and a red sandalwood book case, but these two pieces were decent enough, not to mention the red sour twig bed. In addition to other tables and chairs, there are actually 40 or 50 pieces in all kinds. It''s really decent enough. And your adoptive mother said, prepare for you six sets of clothes for the four seasons, four sets of gold and four sets of silver head and face. I said there was no need to spend like this, but she said that it was nothing to treat you as a daughter. Our family is limited, and we can''t help others. It''s only you who sincerely honor the two old people. "


    Leisurely nodded, "it''s natural. Even if my mother doesn''t say it, I know how to do it."


    Lin''s mother said, "I''m at ease when you do things. Your adoptive mother gave you so many things. I can''t be too funny as a mother. I can''t compare with other people''s family. I''ve also prepared six sets of clothes for the four seasons, one set of Pearl head, one set of agate head and two sets of gold head, as well as some excellent porcelain, tea sets and twelve fashionable silks and satins. With your own private house and that shop, even if you are married to your son-in-law''s family, it will not be reduced. "


    "The bottom of our family has always been there. Since he is willing to marry me, he must not be greedy for these things. If he wants to be thinner, it doesn''t matter. Don''t empty the bottom of our family." Leisurely frown said.

 Chapter 124

    Lin''s mother patted her hand. "Don''t worry. I know what I''m doing. Among other things, our family now has more than 500 mu of land, two shops and a big pond with a harvest of more than 1000 taels of silver a year. Enron''s marriage is still to come. It''s nothing to give you all the cash. "


    The mother and the son talked about the dowry again, but they didn''t mention it after dinner.


    On that day, leisurely was pruning flowers in the greenhouse, and a woman from the Zhongyi Marquis''s house came and said, "congratulations to the girl. Our Marquis and uncle Ze have come back safely, and now they all go to the palace to report their work and receive rewards." In the middle of the story, he made a gesture and hit himself. "Oh, look at my memory. Now he should be called the Duke of the country. Because of his outstanding military achievements, the Marquis has been granted a loyal and righteous title. It''s Mr. Ze, who was appointed as a general of the third grade because he personally shot and killed the Han king and the big prince of Kashgar. "


    After listening to this, leisurely heart is a sigh, forced to smile, "is really a great thing, for me to go back to my wife congratulations, tomorrow I will be ready to go to congratulate." Then let jade Tan take a purse to come over, "tired mother hard trip, these please mother drink a pot of tea." The old lady thought about the purse in her hand. She knew that the facade was filled with silver coins. She left happily.


    When the mother-in-law left, people came to congratulate him when they heard the news. With a leisurely smile, they asked Qingtan to reward them with copper money, but they turned and went into the inner room. After a while, mother Lin came in and saw her daughter sitting alone in front of the window, her smile suddenly solidified.


    She went up to leisurely and asked in a soft voice, "sister you, what''s the matter? Is there something wrong with it? " Leisurely shook his head. "It''s OK, mother."


    Lin Mu touched her hair and sighed, "but my son-in-law''s promotion is too fast this time? I feel a little uncomfortable? "


    He nodded leisurely. "At the time of engagement, although our family was a little bit difficult, my younger brother and he were all married, and his parents died, so they were just like each other. Now, however, he has become a high-ranking official with outstanding achievements in war and unlimited prospects. Will he be willing to marry a wife from a servant girl? I''m afraid people''s minds are changeable. "


    Before Lin''s mother responded, there was a voice at the door: "in my opinion, my sister is too worried."


    Mother and daughter both look back, it is Enron standing in the door. Leisurely asked, "why did you come back so early today, before the time?"


    Enron didn''t answer. He pulled his official uniform and said with a smile, "didn''t my mother and sister find anything different?"


    Lin''s mother didn''t see it, but she found a clue when she listened to him. "Oh," she stood up and said, "have you been promoted?"


    I saw Enron nodding with a smile. "Yes, a few days ago, your majesty asked the Manchu Dynasty to discuss the treatment of the survivors of the Kashi royal family. He said that no matter how big or small the official position is, as long as you have reasonable opinions, you can go up and down. The memorial I wrote happened to be in your eyes for some reason. This morning, your majesty specially praised me to Lord Xue. He praised Lord Xue for his brilliant eyes, praised me for my words, and promoted me to be a scholar of five grades. Although his official position is not high, he is also a close Minister of the emperor, not necessarily much lower than his brother-in-law. What''s more, there are so many battles to fight in today''s peaceful and prosperous times. It''s hard for my brother-in-law to get promoted again. Unlike me, I''ll be a close Minister of the emperor, and I''ll have the face of a master. Isn''t my future infinite? "


    "Since I have been with you like a tiger," he said in a leisurely voice, "although the emperor''s near ministers seem to have boundless scenery, they are also difficult and unpredictable. In the past, you only worked as a civilian in the Imperial Academy. Although you were more humble, you could win in peace and stability. Now when you are in front of the Imperial Palace, you have more scenery, but you are also more dangerous. You have to be more careful. "


    Seeing that he didn''t like it, he said leisurely, "now you are old, too. You have won the first place in the Imperial Academy, and now you are in front of the imperial court. It''s true that my sister is just a girl, and what she says can''t get into your ears. " After hearing this, Enron said with a smile, "elder sister, this makes my younger brother scared. No matter how old my younger brother''s official is, elder sister is elder sister. If there''s something wrong with my younger brother, my elder sister just teaches me, don''t give birth to any more. "


    "I can''t tell you a lesson. You are the hope of our family. How can my sister not look forward to you. I know you are in high spirits now. I have said too much, and you are afraid you can''t listen to me¡® Since the establishment of the imperial examination system, there have always been more than a hundred people who have won the first place in the examination. If you have time, you might as well think about it. Among these people, how many have really won the title of king and minister, how many have become great weapons, how many have been depressed all their lives, and how many have died unexpectedly? The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. It''s sharp and sharp. It''s not like keeping a low profile and being open-minded. " Leisurely looking at the younger brother said word by word, Enron did not say a word.


    Standing up leisurely and looking at the young man in front of him, he was shorter than himself a few years ago, but now he is much higher than himself. She wanted to pat each other on the shoulder, but found it difficult to do. Instead, he helped him trim his court clothes, and then said, "if you are promoted to the editor of zhengwupin, you will be overjoyed for a while, and it''s nothing. But what you are doing now is a professor, a close Minister of the emperor, and you are in the limelight. However, I remember that Zhou Rui was originally appointed for this position from the perspective of Wu pin''s servant. Zhou Rui is the nephew of the second wife of the Empress Dowager''s family Chengen mansion. His father was a Bachelor of the Imperial Academy, and now he is the censor of the inspector''s Academy. You''ve robbed your son''s seat. Don''t you keep a low profile? Are you sincere enough to leave something to others? "


    My sister''s words hit Enron''s heart like a heavy hammer. Since he was praised and promoted by the emperor in the morning, Enron seems to be floating in the sky all day. Now although I was pulled by my sister, I fell to the ground. He took a deep breath and said, "thank you for waking up the dreamer with your sister''s words. If not, I would make a fool of my younger brother."


    Lin''s mother didn''t know much about the things above the court hall, but she also read for a few days, so she thought what her daughter said was very reasonable. At the moment, he also said, "brother an, your sister''s words are also reasonable. Our family has a shallow foundation and can''t compare with those rich families. You''d better be careful in everything. A few days ago, on the back street of our house, Mr. Zhang, who was a member of the Ministry of official affairs, was dismissed and investigated because he said something wrong and angered the powerful officials in the court. The whole family sold their property cheaply and went back to their hometown. That yuanwailang is still the ER Jia Chuan Lu of the previous years, so he was stopped. His daughter-in-law also left with him. When he left, he didn''t even have a present. It''s really pitiful. "

 Chapter 125

    Lin Mu''s voice did not fall, leisurely then interface way "mother only know one, don''t know two, want me to say this Zhang Ju person has today''s end is also to blame."


    Wen Yanlin''s mother asked in surprise, "what else do you know?"


    Leisurely said, "this Zhang Juren used to be a poor boy. In the fourth year of Longde, he got the second grade in that subject. The Feng family of ding''anbo, who was elected son-in-law at that time, took his eldest daughter to marry him, and tried their best to support him, and took him to the Ministry of officials. Otherwise, as a poor man, without any support in Beijing, he would be able to enter the rich official department? "


    Mrs. Lin nodded. "So it is. I''ve met Mrs. Zhang several times. She praises her son for his great achievements. It''s true that some of her sons are poor and love the rich. However, Mr. Zhang''s original wife is very generous in her words and deeds, but she seems to be an understanding person. "


    Leisurely said, "you''re not an understanding person? Although the big girl of the Feng family is a commoner, she grew up with Mrs. Bo when she was a child. She has great insight and bearing. When Uncle Feng first saw Zhang Ju with outstanding talent and good conversation, he thought he was a good one. He also heard that he had no wife in his family, so he betrothed his daughter to him. The two years since he got married, Mr. Zhang was still better. He was very kind to Miss Feng. Seeing that he was good to his daughter, the Feng family tried their best to promote him and transferred him from the Imperial Academy of Qingshui Yamen to the rich official department. Later, after giving birth to her eldest daughter, Miss Feng was infertile for many years, and he was promoted from Wupin yuanwailang by the power of his wife''s family and his own business. Xu felt that his wings were hard, so he began to wait for his wife. Just at this time, Mrs. Zhang came to the capital with one of her nieces from her hometown in Henan. Since the old lady came, Zhangjia had no peace. At first, Mrs. Zhang thought that Miss Feng could not give birth to a son, so she wanted to marry her son. With a quick move, Miss Feng opened her servant girl''s face and became her aunt. When Mrs. Zhang saw that her plan failed, she wanted to seize the right of housekeeper. Miss Feng also gave her the right to be a housekeeper. "


    Hearing this, Enron frowned and said, "once the housekeeper is handed over, Miss Feng''s life will be miserable."


    Leisurely said with a sneer, "mother, don''t worry. Listen to me slowly." Then she told the whole story. Old lady Zhang had just come to the capital for a few days, and she forgot her foundation. How much money did she have in her family? It was just 100 mu of land in her hometown. The house, furniture and servants in Beijing are all the dowries of Miss Feng. Miss Feng just handed over Mr. Zhang''s salary, holding her dowry and the contract of sale firmly in her hand. Old lady Zhang is a peasant woman who doesn''t know big words. Can she manage the servants who are trained in the count''s house? In less than half a month, she couldn''t hold on. She cried to her son that Miss Feng was unfilial. Just then, Miss Feng''s aunt passed away. The mother and the son felt that Miss Feng had lost her support, so Mrs. Zhang encouraged her son to divorce her and marry a better woman. Just as it happened, Zhang Ju took advantage of his wife''s temporary stay in Bo''s house and set up an outer room outside. That day, when Zhang Juren went to the outer room, he was seen by the third young master of Ding''an uncle''s mansion. The third young master and the eldest girl were born to the same mother. When he saw that his brother-in-law had done such things behind his sister''s back, he would not give up. At that moment, he led the servant to smash the place where he lived in the outer room.


    Miss Feng was also disappointed with Zhang Juren. After hearing this, she made up her mind to make peace with Zhang Juren. On the same day, she took back all her dowry. Zhang Juren''s mother and son naturally didn''t want to let it go, and they wanted to make trouble again. Then he was accused of taking part in private affairs, embezzlement and bending the law. Such a minor official of five grades didn''t need to disturb the emperor. The Ministry of official directly dismissed him and seized his status as a Jinshi. So now he''s just a person.


    Without the support of the Feng family, Zhang Juren is nothing. After being dismissed from office, without salary, Chuang Tzu was not his. For the sake of his niece, the Feng family gave him a way to live. He signed the letter and gave him a piece of money to send his mother back to his hometown. Zhang Juren had no choice but to see himself clearly when he was forced into a desperate situation. He knew that the situation was over, so he had to sign on Heli book. With the five hundred taels of silver given by the Feng family, I went back to my hometown with my seriously ill mother and cousin.


    Leisurely said, "this Zhang Juren will not live like this if he has some ideas and knows himself well. You are not allowed to learn such a person after you get married."


    Enron said with a smile, "sister, don''t worry, I''m not such a person. It''s just that I''m a little puzzled. How can my sister know all these things so clearly? Who else is there in the Imperial Academy? What''s going on in Lord Zhang''s family? My sister can understand that in the future. " Leisurely said, "I summed up the story of Hanlin academy from the Diebao you brought back. The story of Zhang Jia was told by my adoptive mother when I went to Han''s house that day. The young master of the Feng family married the niece of a cousin of his adoptive mother. Since that Zhang Juren is a member of the Ministry of official affairs, he has to go to his adoptive father for ventilation. "


    At this time, Miss Feng, who is in other Feng''s home, is making clothes for her daughter. Her nurse came in from the outside and said in a low voice in her ear, "just now the third young master sent someone to say that the man was in a storm on his way back home by boat. The boat capsized and no one picked it up."


    Miss Feng slimmed her hands and said, "OK, I see. Go to a secluded temple and do a ritual for him. It''s always a couple. I''m still looking forward to his early ascent to bliss. "


    Miss Feng''s nurse agreed to go out. She didn''t see a drop of red blood flowing from the embroidery needle on her index finger. She put her index finger in her mouth, and a thick smell of blood filled her mouth. She thought silently that this was the taste of blood. It didn''t matter. She had to find back all the pain and humiliation she had suffered in her last life. It was just the beginning.


    The next morning, as soon as the family was ready for breakfast, Liu Ye happily came in and said, "Miss, my uncle is here. I''ve brought a lot of things for miss and madam."


    Lin''s mother was overjoyed, "where are you?" The willow leaf replied, "it''s in the front hall." So mother Lin took her daughter''s hand and went to the front hall together. When it''s time to be reserved, you can''t shrink back when it''s time to be generous.


    In the front hall, Shen Zezheng was chatting with Enron. After a while, he saw Lin''s mother come out. He quickly stood up and said, "I haven''t seen her for more than two years, but my aunt''s style is still the same!" Then I saw the graceful leisurely behind Lin''s mother. I only felt that I hadn''t seen her for two years. My fiancee''s appearance became more elegant and gentle.


    A woman doesn''t like to be praised. After hearing this, Lin''s mother couldn''t shut her mouth. "I''m an old woman. What''s the talk about? It''s you. You''ve been in the army for two years. You''ve lost a lot of weight and become black. Have you come here for breakfast? "


    Shen Ze said with a smile, "not yet. I''ve been thinking about the food here for a long time. When I got up, I went straight here."


    Lin''s mother said with a smile, "eat here, grass. Go to the kitchen and add two dishes." Leisurely interface "I''ll go to the kitchen to have a look."

 Chapter 126

    Seeing leisurely going out, Shen Ze turned to his mother and said, "it was late at night when I got home from the celebration banquet in the Palace last night, so I didn''t come to disturb her. I have been away for two or three years, and the tired Miss Lin has been waiting for me for such a long time. Therefore, I came here early this morning to discuss with my aunt. If my aunt agrees, how about sending someone to invite me in the next two days? "


    Lin Mu nodded, "this is very true. You two are not young, and it''s not easy to delay. Since this is the case, we''ll prepare for it first."


    In the kitchen, leisurely fried a dish of green vegetables and fried shredded meat, cut a plate of sauce beef and salted duck eggs that had just been marinated yesterday, and added the original two dishes, one porridge and one soup to let the maid carry them in. He drank a bowl of Tremella medlar millet porridge and ate a roll.


    Fang Cao brought all the dishes to the table and said with a smile, "Miss said that uncle Shen will go to the Yamen later, so she made some simple ones. Please make do with them." Seeing that all the dishes were ready, Lin''s mother said with a smile, "yes, you two have business to do later. Eat quickly so that you can get busy." Then he put a chopstick of fried shredded meat into Shen Ze''s bowl and said, "this dish is youjieer''s specialty. Try it."


    Enron also took a chopstick, chewed two mouthfuls and swallowed it. "But my sister hasn''t been in the kitchen for a long time. Today, thanks to my elder martial brother, I can taste the fried meat I miss so much." After hearing this, Shen Ze didn''t say a word with a smile.


    Lin''s mother gave him a white look and said, "eat quickly. There''s something else to do after eating. You''re the only one who talks a lot." Enron vomits his tongue, and Fang eats quietly.


    After a while, several people finished their breakfast. Before Shen Ze left, he said with a smile, "there are no good things in the northwest. Only fur and some wolfberry can hold them. I brought some fur for my aunt to make clothes in winter."


    Lin''s mother said with a smile, "last year, what you sent back has not been used up. It''s hard for you to think of such a long way. Then I''ll take it. When winter comes, I''ll let you make two good cloaks for you. Well, it''s getting late. You can go quickly and come back to talk when you have time. "


    Then Shen Ze and Enron went to their own yamen without mentioning.


    Although Shen Ze had a month''s holiday, he went to the military camp to visit his colleagues in the future. After he handed over everything, he asked Shangfeng for a holiday. On that day, as soon as he left the military camp, he went to Minghe Academy with his things to meet his mentor.


    Han Di Shi was an open-minded man. He didn''t feel that there was anything wrong with his favorite student who suddenly ran away to abandon his literature and become a martial artist. He thinks highly of Kong laofuzi''s idea of "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and adjusting measures to local conditions". He knows Shen Ze''s mind is flexible, but he also knows that his utilitarian heart is a little heavy. It''s hard to study hard and gain knowledge like Enron. Therefore, even after Shen Ze''s entrance examination, it is difficult for him to improve his qualifications step by step. With his temperament, if he is a little careless, he will easily go too far, but not well. Today, he has been in a high position since he was young. As long as he doesn''t want to rebel, his future is bright.


    The master and the apprentice had not seen each other for a long time, so they had to talk about their parting. Han Dishi was proficient in Zhouyi, so Shen Ze had to ask his teacher to count himself a lucky day.


    The apprentice is really big. After a while of calculation, Han said, "it''s the end of April. May is the ghost month. It''s not good to get married. June and July are not good. August 20 is a good day for both of you. You haven''t sent your appointment yet, but may, June and July are not good months. Now it''s April 17 and April 28, which is a good day. Why don''t you send your appointment on April 28? "


    Shen Ze thinks that there are still ten days to go. Fortunately, many things in the betrothal gifts have already been prepared, so it''s not too late. Thanks to my teacher, I didn''t even have time to have lunch, so I quickly went back to the inner city and invited the official media who proposed marriage at that time to tell me the day.


    When the matchmaker saw that there was a business coming to him, he changed his bright clothes and went to the Lin family with the post.


    As soon as Mrs. Lin heard that the official media was coming, she knew it and quickly put on her clothes and came out. As soon as the matchmaker saw Lin''s mother, he said with a smile, "I''m glad to Taiyi. Uncle Shen has asked someone to watch the day and prepare to get married on August 20. He will be hired on the 28th of this month." Lin''s mother reckons that there are still three or four months left in August, which is enough time for her daughter to embroider her wedding dress, but she has to be more reserved. "I''m the only daughter. I always want to stay a few more days. There won''t be any other good days before this year?"


    The matchmaker said with a smile, "if you think about it, it''s not easy to get married in a single month. It''s cold in October. The end of August is a good time for autumn. Isn''t it the best day?"


    Lin''s mother then nodded, "since that''s the case, let''s make a decision." The matchmaker answered with a smile, and then boasted, "well, it''s a blessing to be pleasant. My son is the number one scholar. When my daughter was engaged, uncle Shen was just a whole person, but now he is a senior official of grade three. Lin Zhuangyuan is so young and promising that one day he will say that he has to invite Mrs. Feng to Yiren. " According to the rule of Dakang, only the legitimate mother of the officials of grade one and grade two can be granted the title of "Mrs. Tai".


    This matchmaker is used to flatter, but mother Lin is modest and used to it. After hearing this, she quickly said, "what''s too madam and so on is something we dare not even think about. As mothers, we are just looking forward to the safety of our children. As for the rest, it''s up to God." Then he exchanged greetings with the matchmaker, and let Fang Cao give her a silver or two and send her out.


    Seeing off the matchmaker, Lin''s mother quickly said, "the Shen family will come to Dabin on the 28th, and they will clean up the inside and outside these two days. See what dilapidated place to repair, the painting of the local painting, don''t let people laugh at our family at that time It''s a lot of work for people to listen to orders.


    At the end of the second quarter, the sound of drumming came from a distance, and then led by Shen Ze, surrounded by several colleagues and cousins, followed by servants carrying betrothal gifts. Dading doesn''t need her parents to show up, so it''s up to the official media to hand in the bride price list and Dahong''s marriage certificate.


    Two days ago, the official media had already come with the bride price list. Although the two sides of the engagement can put forward their opinions on the bride price and bride price, and then negotiate with each other, the Shen family is sincere, and the Lin family is not the one with shallow eyesight. Naturally, they won''t get tangled up here. They just follow the bride price list given by the Shen family.


    With the letter of marriage, the marriage of the two people is firm and unchangeable. Lin''s mother put away the marriage certificate properly, then opened the bride price list and read it. Although I saw it once a few days ago, my mother felt a little shocked when I saw it again.

 Chapter 127

    In recent years, Shen Ze had a good business, made a small fortune at the border, and got a thousand taels of gold after he returned to Beijing. He had a lot of money on hand, and this time he was hired, which was quite heavy.


    Around the guests saw that a load of things are also a little shocked, only Meng looked at things after the heart move.


    Lin''s mother took over the bride price list with a smile. It said that the bride price was one thousand taels of gold, 48 pieces of silk and satin, four pieces of Sichuan brocade, four pieces of cloud brocade, six pieces of duoluone, sixteen sets of four seasons'' clothes, two tiger skins, ten deer skins, ten Fox Skins, four pairs of dragon and Phoenix bracelets, one set of red gold inlaid with ruby, pearl, agate and Jasper, four sets of red gold silk, There are four sets of silver headpieces, 36 pieces of fragmentary jewelry and four pairs of gold and silver ingots. In addition, there are some tea cakes, seafood, three animals, candy and rice wine. Lin Mu didn''t look at them one by one.


    After reading it, she roughly estimated that, with 10000 taels of dowry money, these things were about 20000 taels, while her daughter had saved 45002 taels of private silver in the past two years alone, and the total amount of other headgear and other things was about 3000 taels of silver. I will put all the dowry money into the dowry, and my daughter''s dowry will be very decent. After thinking about this, Lin''s mother was happy again. Her son-in-law gave so many betrothal gifts, which showed that she attached great importance to her daughter. Naturally, she was not dissatisfied. Then let Fangcao take the gift list to leisurely, and turn around to deal with the relatives, friends and neighbors who come to see the excitement.


    Meng''s and Han Jin''s mother and son brought people to help with cooking in the early morning. Some people near the Lin family heard that their daughter had been assigned to a senior official from Sanpin, and they all came to join in the fun. I also saw that the wife and the young master of the clerical family of the Ministry of official were all here, and they all came to curry favor with each other. Although Meng''s mother and son don''t think much of these people, they are used to dealing with them, and they will never make people feel embarrassed.


    Leisurely uncle''s family and two uncles came yesterday after they got the news. Since Enron won the first prize, these relatives have more or less touched some light, but also stimulated several men. The second cousin, who had already given up the imperial examination, is now studying hard in the cold window, preparing to take part in the government examination next year.


    Today, although the days of several families are getting better and better, they are still surprised to see the dowry of the Shen family. The gold and silver heads are shining in the sunlight, which is very eye-catching. There are also those silk and satin are dazzling, rare and unusual, and their wealth is not a small fraction. The eldest aunt looked at her sister-in-law, who was chatting and laughing with her relatives. Today, she was wearing a red silk jacket embroidered with Begonia flowers, a red sandalwood pleated skirt, a pair of red gold and sapphire Jingfu Changmian gold hairpin with the same color edge, and a pair of green jade bracelets in her hand. It looks like it''s in its early 30s, which is quite different from the previous years. Aunt Lin sighed in her heart. A few years ago, her sister-in-law worked hard all day for her daughter''s ransom money and her son''s study expenses. Now she looks like a decent official wife. Now the gap between the two families is getting bigger and bigger. The second son has successfully won the imperial examination and the Jinshi one after another. I''m afraid his future can''t be compared with that of his nephew. He doesn''t have a daughter who is the adopted daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of official. Looking at the younger sister''s family has become prosperous, so it''s better not to alienate them.


    Shen Ze''s betrothal gift was so rich that it naturally attracted many onlookers. Some of them are envious and jealous. They can''t help but sneer that they have accepted such betrothal gifts from others. When the sun rises tomorrow, they can''t take out the corresponding dowry to see if you lose face?


    It''s not surprising that outsiders think so. The only things that Lin''s family shows up are this house and the hundreds of mu of land in Baishan Town, which is worth hundreds of taels of silver a year. I''m afraid I can''t save today''s bride price even if I save it for ten years.


    Even a few relatives murmured to themselves. When all the other guests left, they asked in private, "how is leisurely''s dowry prepared? The Shen family has given us such a dowry. We have to give it here. It''s too thin. I''m afraid it''s funny. If we are short of money, we can still raise a hundred taels of silver in our family. "


    Lin''s mother said with a smile, "thank you for your concern. Thanks to my elder brother and sister-in-law, they have been doing their best to help take care of our family''s fields all these years. Leisurely dowry has been prepared almost, only a few things like Rouge powder are missing. When she was in the Marquis''s house, she had saved some headpieces and private houses. A few years ago, she sold some embroidery works and got several thousand taels of silver. In addition to the gifts given by her adoptive mother and prepared by her family, I wanted to put all the betrothal gifts sent by my son-in-law into her dowry except tea and fruit. In this way, it would be very respectable. " Smell speech, big aunt surprised way "leisurely embroidery unexpectedly sold several thousand Liang silver?"


    Mrs. Lin nodded, "she can read Chinese characters and embroider on both sides, so it''s more expensive to sell. But she''s been busy making dowry in the past two years, and the embroidery is less. I''m also afraid that her eyes will be damaged when she is young, and she will suffer in the future, so I don''t let her do too careful work at home


    Although she was a little envious, she still said with a smile, "after my niece got married, she will be an official wife. Naturally, she doesn''t have to do embroidery work for money. I just gave you all the dowry. How can it be good for angel to get married


    Lin''s mother said, "an Ge''er is still young. He is only seventeen years old this year. Even if he decides to get married, he will always wait until he is weak. I didn''t plan to find him a daughter-in-law of the highest rank. Two or three years is enough time to prepare a decent dowry for him. "


    The eldest aunt frowned, "if you marry a daughter of a small family, isn''t it insulting an''er''s character? He''s the number one


    Lin''s mother shook her head gently, "why is our family not a small family? He was different from her elder sister. Her elder sister grew up in the Duke''s mansion after all. She knew well that she could cope even if she married higher. Our mother and I used to dig for food in the field. Even if a girl from a wealthy family married us, we can''t serve others. Is it hard for me to see my daughter-in-law''s face when I get old? "


    Listen to sister-in-law say so, big aunt also busy smile said, "this is also, but I see today many young girl, eyes are looking at Ann. I think it''s better to decide his marriage earlier. It''s going to take a long time. Don''t worry about any more accidents. Now some young ladies in Beijing don''t care when they go to trouble. "


    Lin''s mother sighed, "now I don''t know what''s wrong with the world. When we were young, we would not wander around in the village. Today''s little ladies, who roam all over the street, today''s horseback riding and tomorrow''s assembly, also gather together to comment on the men in the street. The more miss gaomen acts, the bolder she is. Well, I''m too old to understand young people. "

 Chapter 128

    Several relatives had things to do at home. After attending the ceremony, they drove home early the next morning. Lin''s mother naturally had to take back some tea cakes, fruits, etc.


    After putting the big set, leisurely can start to sew the wedding dress. She took out the material that had been prepared before, and just after cutting it, she saw that Qingtan rushed in and said, "girl, Princess Le''an is coming."


    It''s Fang Xinsu''s first time to come here. Although the Lin family''s house is small and full of fireworks, Fang Xinsu feels at first glance that it''s reassuring.


    When leisurely came out, Fang Xinsu had already walked outside the second door. She said with a smile, "what brings you here? We have a shallow house here. I''m afraid we''ll hurt you. "


    Fang Xinsu faintly smiles, "what''s wrong? I haven''t visited a house like this. I''d like to open my eyes. Now that you''ve made a big decision, it''s not easy to go there often. It happened that my aunt had a good job, so I grabbed it and came by to see you. "


    It''s said that the princess came, and Lin''s mother quickly welcomed her. She was about to give a big gift. Fang Xinsu himself stopped her. "You''re welcome, aunt. I''m commensurate with Lin''s sister. Isn''t it a shame that aunt gave me this big gift?" Fortunately, they had met twice in Hou''s residence before, but they could also say a few words.


    The servant girl brought the tea and said with a leisurely smile, "this is the green tea that a friend of my younger brother brought back from Ryukyu. It tastes similar to Tie Guanyin, although it can''t compare with what you usually drink. At least it was brought back from the sea. Try it. "


    Fang Xinsu lifted the lid of the tea and smelled it, praising that "the tea smells fresh." Then he took another sip and tasted it carefully. He said, "this tea tastes smooth and dry, and has a faint fragrance of flowers. The taste is similar to that of Tie Guanyin in Anxi, but it''s cooler than that. It''s to my taste. "


    With a leisurely smile, "I rarely have anything you like on hand. There are two unopened jars there. I''ll take them with me when you leave."


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "I don''t want to be polite to you any more. I''ve brought you some good things here." With that, she asked the maid to take out a bundle and open it. Fang Xinsu took out a piece of bright red material from it. He said, "this material is called Xiaguang satin. It''s a craft of the former dynasty. Now there is no craftsman who can weave it. It is said that when she got married, her grandmother gave her one for dowry. At that time, one piece was used, and the rest was put up. Now many years have passed, and it''s still as bright as new. "


    Speaking of this, leisurely has to admire the ancient craft. For example, some of the silk used in our daily life has been preserved, and it will not be a problem if it is kept for decades.


    As soon as she saw it, she knew that it was also a good thing, so she said, "such a good thing should be used by the ladies in that house. It''s time to give it to you sister."


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "my aunt''s work naturally won''t fall into people''s mouths. Our sisters all got one piece, which is left to sister Lin by Tete." What she didn''t say was that only Shen Tian, she and leisurely got Xiaguang satin, and the rest of them all got slightly inferior upper satin. Now, in Han''s heart, growing up beside her and saving their mother and son''s lives, Shen Xiang, the niece and the two concubines should be closer.


    Leisurely said with a smile, "the piece I originally prepared was also the material from Jiangnan weaving workshop. I thought it was good, but now it''s better. It''s just cut out. You''ve got this again. "


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "what''s the matter? Since it''s cut, you can make other clothes. Since it''s the best material, I don''t think it''s much worse. By the way, how''s your dowry going? Can I have a look? " Most of the servant women she brought were drinking tea in the front hall, with only a few of Jinluo''s close friends.


    Leisurely said with a smile, "what''s wrong with this? It''s all in the wing of my yard. I''ll show you. " Qingtan goes to leisurely room and takes out the key. He opens the west chamber first, and sees that the room is full of furniture. Most of them are red sour branches, only a few of them are yellow pear and red sandalwood. With Shen Ze''s status and the family background of the Lin family, the furniture of hongsuanzhi is enough. Fang Xinsu knows that these furniture are prepared by Han Fu. No matter how good the furniture is, it''s not that he can''t afford it. I''m afraid it''s too much. On the contrary, it attracts villains'' jealousy.


    Then Fang Xinsu went to see the headgear, clothes, silk and other things in the East chamber. After seeing it once, Fang Xinsu went to leisurely house to have tea. She said with a smile, "I haven''t seen what other people''s dowries are like before. In that house, there are many people and many eyes, and my elder sister''s fiance is valuable. I''m sorry to tell my aunt. Now I see you, and I know what the dowry is about. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "is it your marriage? Why are you interested in this? "


    Fang Xinsu angrily glanced at her and said, "I can''t hide anything from you. Although I don''t have a will, I can''t leave now. When I have a will, you will know."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "OK, then I won''t ask. But even if it''s a betrothal, your dowry will be prepared by a special person. Do you want to prepare it yourself? "


    Fang Xinsu shook his head. "It''s not. It''s my sister coral. She''s one year older than you. She was originally given to me by my mother. She is the most gentle in ordinary times. However, a steward mother of our Fang family came to beg for her son a few days ago. I knew that the mother was always good, and her younger brother said that her son was also useful, so I agreed. Both of them are old. Let them have a wedding in June. She''s been with me for so many years. I''m going to let her get married. "


    Leisurely suddenly realized "so it is, you have a heart." When he came in just now, Fang Xinsu asked all the servants to go to the next room for tea. At this time, there were only two of them in the room. They said in a leisurely low voice, "since you want to promise her to the son in charge, you still want to reuse her in the future. In this way, the reward can not be too generous. You go back and ask mother Zhang, how does the first lady deal with such things? You can only make it one or two percent more generous. Don''t be too generous¡® I think you''ve heard of the idea of "fighting for the rice en and promoting the rice hatred."


    Fang Xinsu said, "you and Jinluo have the same meaning. I thought she was selfish. Since even you say so, it seems that my previous plan is not appropriate. In that case, I''ll just reward mother Zhang according to her original rules. "


    Leisurely nodded and said, "it should be like this. You don''t think that there are six maids in the first class, eight in the second class and eight in the third class around you. You''re so generous with the first one. I''ll give you less of what you mean. I know you have a lot of money in your private house, so I don''t need to waste it like this. "

 Chapter 129

    Hearing this, Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "I have a lot of silver. Is it hard for you to have less? If I didn''t pull you into the gang last time, could you make so much money? I''m really a white eyed wolf. I don''t know how good people are. " It turned out that the year before last, Fang Xinjian heard that the sea trade was very profitable, so he wanted to earn some pocket money. So he found two capable stewards and some male servants from the servants of Fang family, and planned to go out with the boat to see if he could make a profit. But his family''s income was saved by the housekeeper in the ticket office, and he had less than two thousand taels of silver on hand. There are only two or three thousand taels of silver in the Fang family''s storeroom to maintain normal expenses. But he thought of his sister, who had a lot of private affairs. After he told her about it, Fang Xinsu supported her very much. He lent 3000 Liang to his younger brother, invested 5000 Liang for himself, and drew 3000 liang of silver for his younger brother to his eldest cousin. When leisurely knew, he took out 2000 liang of silver he had saved and asked Fang Xinsu to help her get a share.


    At that time, Fang Xinsu didn''t want to collect her money. "How many private houses do you have? Although the profits of maritime trade are huge, the risks are also great. If you are not careful, you will not be able to get back a copper coin. What can you do then? "


    Leisurely said with a smile at that time, "you look down on me too much. You don''t want to say anything else. Just the precious chrysanthemums you sent me. After my cutting, except the ones you gave me, I sold the rest for so much money. I''ve got a lot of pots this year. As long as it''s half of last year''s price, I can still earn so much money. So, you can rest assured. I won''t cry for you even if I pay for it. " Fang Xinsu heard that she had a good fortune, so she agreed. What I thought was that if I lost the money, I would give it back to her without telling her. She didn''t lack money.


    Although Fang Xinsu''s dowry harvest is the same as that of her younger brother''s, it is managed by a special person. Every year, most of the money is saved into the Royal Bank, and only 2000 liang of pocket money is set aside for her. If she wants to spend it, she has to collect the seals of the four managers of Fang''s family and the bills in her hand. Only when she gets married will all the rights of the property be returned to her. But she had an emperor''s father, and Longde watched her own daughter not recognize her and enjoy the title and treatment she deserved. I feel very sorry for my daughter, so I often mix some silver notes and land deeds with the new year''s gifts.


    Most of these things were appreciated by the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager felt sorry for her granddaughter when she saw her son''s deeds. She also gave her a lot of "pocket money" in private. As the head of a country and his mother, they will not be stingy. Fang Xinsu gets ten or twenty thousand silver from them every year. Because she had known her true identity by chance, so since these things were given to her, she accepted them impolitely.


    She and hairpin that year, the Empress Dowager gave her a 2000 mu Chuang Tzu and a Drum Tower Street bustling shop. The property of the princess is not taxed. These two kinds of property alone earn nearly five thousand taels of silver every year. Fang Xinsu doesn''t spend a lot of money on weekdays, so people didn''t feel surprised that she took out the money all at once.


    Fang Xinjian''s personal relationship with Enron has always been good. When Enron knew this, she also secretly borrowed 1000 Liang silver from her sister and took shares, but Enron didn''t know that her sister also took shares.


    When the Fang family first went out to sea, they had no experience. They returned with more than 10000 taels of goods and earned more than 3000 taels of silver. Seeing that they didn''t lose money, they were all relieved. They were not in a hurry to get the bonus, and let the Fang family continue to operate. The first two or three times were not very smooth. Once I didn''t look good on the goods and lost some money. Fortunately, after several times, I have accumulated a lot of experience in the management of holidays, and the profits will be higher and higher in the future. When it comes to new year''s day, Fang Xinjian is surprised to see the 80000 taels of banknotes brought back by the steward. The profits of the maritime trade are really extraordinary.


    Fang Xinjian lost her parents when she was young, and she became a little too cautious. Seeing that he had made so much money all at once, he decided to stop for a while. The money he had earned was enough for him to spend a few years. When he was weak, he could take over the property in the government. There was no need to do this business again, to let outsiders know that it was not beautiful after all.


    So, he decided to stop, will be a sister out, to her sent in the past. When Fang Xinsu saw the banknote, he was also surprised. In less than a year, the principal increased five times. It was really violent. No wonder every year there are so many merchant ships sinking, still can not stop the determination of people to go to sea trade. It''s true that money and silk move people''s hearts! At the beginning, the two thousand taels that leisurely put in suddenly became ten thousand taels, which made her private room more than double.


    Leisurely said with a smile, "good sister, it''s my fault. Naturally, I accept your great affection. I just embroidered some pictures a few days ago. I think you may like them. You can choose one later."


    After that, he got up and went to the front of the wardrobe, opened the door, and took out a one foot square brocade box from the bottom. After opening it, there were four or five pieces of one foot square embroidered but not mounted screen cores inside.


    Fang Xinsu looked at it and said, "I thought you had been busy embroidering dowry for the past two years, and you didn''t have time to do it."


    Leisurely smile, silent.


    Fang Xinsu looked at it by himself, took out the camellia embroidered one first, and said with a smile, "needless to say, this one is prepared for me." Then he pointed to the peony picture and said, "this must be for my cousin."


    In addition, there is a picture of crabapple and orchid. Fang Xinsu saw that the orchid embroidery is quite smart and elegant. He said, "I think it''s good. It''s just that some people are short of a gift for their birthday. Please give it to me."


    Leisurely smile "since you want, just take it, but I''ve never been polite to you." Over the years, Fang Xinsu did not know how many good things she had given her. From eating utensils to headgear, all are fine products. She wants such two screen hearts, leisurely and never stingy.


    Fang Xinsu then called a woman and gave her the blue sketch. She said, "go to the Marquis''s house to find the coral, ask me to find the key to the East Chamber of our house, and then go to Fang''s house to find the Pearl. Let her open the East chamber, take out two pieces of good red sandalwood, and give them to the craftsmen in that house. Be sure to match me with a good base within half a month. If things are delayed, I can''t spare them. You repeat it to me The woman said it again, and Fang Xinsu let her go.


    At this time, LiuYe came in and said, "please greet the princess and the girl. My wife said lunch is ready. Please go to the flower hall for dinner."

 Chapter 130

    It happened that there were some wild vegetables that Chuang Tzu had just sent to her home. Mother Lin went to the kitchen and instructed the cook to make a steamed censer grass, cold purslane, fried a wild vegetable egg cake, and asked them to wrap some shepherd''s purse wonton. On top of that, we stewed pheasant and fresh mushroom soup, sauteed shrimps, sauteed meat slices with celery, braised beef, steamed perch and bean curd with fresh bamboo shoots and mushrooms.


    After clearing their hands, leisurely and Fang Xinsu came to the living room to prepare the dishes. Leisurely pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "just now my mother asked me, do you need to go outside to order a good table. I think you haven''t eaten any delicacies in Houfu, so I prepared this table of farm dishes for you. I''m afraid you haven''t eaten much in the past. It''s a change to try it today. "


    Fangxinsu first tasted a piece of tofu and nodded, "it doesn''t look very good. It tastes very good. How to say, it tastes good, but it won''t be too salty."


    Leisurely put a chopstick of Geranium into her bowl with a public chopstick. "You try this. You haven''t eaten it before."


    Fang Xinsu ate it according to his words and nodded, "it really has a distinct fragrance." After eating two mouthfuls, she was more confident about other dishes, so she tasted two mouthfuls one by one, ate a few small wontons, and put down her chopsticks.


    Lin Mu wants to persuade again, but she is stopped by leisurely''s eyes. Ladies in this era generally eat very little, not just to keep slim. It''s that they eat frequently, except for three meals a day. In the middle of this kind of dim sum, that kind of soup, and a little bit of fruit, in short, most of the day in eating and drinking, dinner naturally eat less.


    After lunch, Fang Xinsu went to see the flower house leisurely for a while, and finally let the maid go with two pots of white Begonia.


    Now that we have a better material, leisurely naturally prepared to use this Xiaguang satin as a wedding dress. This material is more than three feet. It''s just enough to make a coat.


    Today''s rules, the bride can be married according to the man''s official position to embroider the wedding dress design. The design of the third grade official is Ruihe. Leisurely, he plans to embroider some cranes on his wedding dress.


    But the next morning, Fang Xinsu went into the palace to greet the Empress Dowager. She brought some fresh cherries and other fresh fruits. The Empress Dowager liked these fresh fruits whether she ate them or not. At that moment, he ordered the palace people to wash some and bring them up to eat. The natural fruit has been specially tested before cleaning.


    The Empress Dowager tasted a few and nodded, "the fruits you exchanged are fresh and fresh. I eat them better than the ones I entered."


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "the Empress Dowager has a good reputation in the world. All the fruit is the first crop. When the fruit is not rare, no one will pay tribute. In fact, these fruits and vegetables are the best to eat in the season. "


    The Empress Dowager touched her head. "This child is smart and knows everything." Fang Xinsu said some witty words, which made the Empress Dowager laugh. At the same time, the princess came to say hello to the empress dowager, so she went to Kunde Palace on the pretext of saying hello to the queen.


    Today''s empress Meng comes from the Meng family in Shandong Province. She is a sister of the same race with leisurely''s adoptive mother. Empress Meng was the successor of emperor Longde. She was always kind and just, and was respected by the emperor. It''s a pity that I haven''t been pregnant for many years.


    Empress Meng is not an ordinary person because she is able to govern the harem smoothly and is respected by the Empress Dowager and the emperor. She has always doubted Fang Xinsu''s identity, and her guess is almost the same as the truth. As a result, she has always been warm-hearted.


    Hearing that the maid in waiting came to report, she quickly let her in and said with a smile, "you girl, you haven''t been here for a long time. Yesterday, my mother was still talking to me."


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "there are so many things in and out of the uterus. I''m afraid the empress doesn''t bother her because she has so many things. I remember that Niang Niang likes to eat fresh fruits. I brought a lot of fresh fruits to taste for her today. They were all picked this morning. They are much more watery than those on the outside tribute. " Empress Meng has no children, but she likes clever girls very much. It happens that Fang Xinsu is clever and not too arrogant, so she is very right for Empress Meng.


    When Fang Xinsu left, empress Meng took her to the gate of the main hall in person. The weather, which had been clear for thousands of miles, suddenly blew up a gust of wind. Seeing that Fang Xinsu was wearing thin clothes, empress Meng said, "go and bring the lilac colored Sichuan brocade cape that was sent by Shangyi bureau two days ago, and a maid in waiting nodded." Empress Meng assigned another maid to say, "go to tell the imperial dining room to make some dishes that Princess Le''an likes to eat this noon and send them to the palace of cining."


    In the twinkling of an eye, all the maids next to Queen Meng walked away. The rest of the maids were ten meters away. Fang Xinsu''s servants had been waiting outside Kunde palace for a long time. Empress Meng helped Fang Xinsu cut her hair and said a few words in a soft voice.


    Fang Xinsu heard that Yan''s face changed greatly, but he still said with a strong smile, "the empress can truthfully tell us that it''s a great kindness. I''ll go back and tell my aunt before I find a way." At this time, the maid of honor also took the cloak, and empress Meng helped her fasten it herself. She said with a smile, "this bright color, or a little girl like you look good in it. Come on, don''t let the queen wait


    Because there was something in her heart, Fang Xinsu reluctantly accompanied the Empress Dowager with lunch, and then hurried out of the palace. As soon as she came back, she went straight to Yuehua hospital. Han was discussing with her daughter about her house. When Fang Xinsu came back, she said with a smile, "how did you come back so early this time?"


    Fang Xinsu took a deep breath and calmed down. "I got a purple Hosta from the Empress Dowager. I''m anxious to come back and show it to my aunt and cousin." Then he said with a smile, "aunt, I''m thirsty. Give me a sip of your good tea. Just drink that Liubao tea. It''s refreshing. I also want to eat yam cake made by Qinghe. Cousin, let your servant girl make some for me. "


    After she came in, her face was not right, and then the words obviously meant to spend all the servant girls. Therefore, Han will quietly send out the maids, and let Feixu personally guard at the door.


    Then, Han Fang frowned and asked, "su''er, what''s the matter? What''s the matter?" Fang Xinsu took a look at Shen Tian and said, "please take precautions."


    When Shen Tian heard that it had something to do with him, she felt a little uneasy, but she just said with a smile, "if there''s anything you can say, I can handle it." So Fang Xinsu repeated the words of empress Meng.


    Han was shocked to hear "is this really true?"


    Fang Xinsu nodded, "there''s no need for the queen to lie about this kind of thing."

 Chapter 131

    But Shen Tian shook her body for a moment. She closed her eyes, and then said, "mother doesn''t have to be too frightened. Now she just asks for a concubine, doesn''t she? Fortunately, the fifth Prince hasn''t thought about quitting his marriage. It''s lucky to be with our family. "


    Han''s eyes were red and he said, "what''s lucky or not? It''s really not possible. I''ll take this old face and ask the Empress Dowager to cancel the finger marriage for you. It''s a big deal. We won''t marry. You''ll be my son for the rest of your life. You''re my baby. It''s so easy to be born in October. You''ve been raised by thousands of pets. Is it difficult to be someone else''s stepmother? Originally, I didn''t want you to be a princess. We can''t open our eyes to you even if we are wronged. Now, a pregnant side imperial concubine is about to emerge. If she gives birth to the eldest son, what can you do in the future? Even the royal family can''t bully people like this. "


    Shen Tian''s eyes were red, but he still tried to hold back his tears to comfort his mother and said, "didn''t my cousin say that the Emperor didn''t reply to the fifth Prince''s Memorial, which means that he didn''t approve of it in his heart. Judging from the current situation, my father has just won the victory and was promoted to the throne. The emperor will not disgrace the Shen family at this time. But the Emperor didn''t mean to reprimand the fifth prince. I think it''s going to depress our family''s arrogance. "


    After all, Han is a person who has experienced great storms. After shock, he has calmed down and began to return to his original wisdom. After listening to her daughter''s words, Han''s eyes narrowed. "Yes, if so, the emperor will arrange your wedding ceremony as soon as possible. When you become a princess, you will be reluctant to know these things. As the fifth Prince''s concubine, you have to knock off your teeth and swallow blood. You should not only pretend to be generous and go to this person to ask for a side concubine, but also take care of her safe production. If not, you will jump into the Yellow River. Our emperor has always been a good strategist. "


    Shen Tian said, "since we are destined to marry the royal family, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later. Now it just happened earlier. I think the fifth prince was afraid that our family would know about it, so he hid it. He was just afraid that his father would interfere with the marriage when he knew about it. He not only wants to marry me, a country official and daughter with outstanding military achievements, but also wants to please his life-saving benefactor. How can it be so cheap? "


    Fang Xinsu bited her lips. "The queen said that all she could do was not to canonize her cousin before you came in. As for other things, it''s not easy to interfere."


    Han nodded. "It''s a great kindness that the empress is willing to tell us the truth and help to delay. It''s better than knowing it when you''re married. "


    There is no good way for the three at the moment. Shen Tian finds an excuse to return to Yun Shuxuan and dismisses all the servants. She took a gold box out of the dressing box. After opening it, she put all the things that the fifth prince had given her in recent years. They are not precious things. Even a pair of five princes carved Xiangyun hairpins with agarwood. She wore them once when she was young. At that time, Shen Xiang also asked her, "big sister, why is the hairpin you are wearing so ugly today?" I remember what I didn''t say at that time, but my heart was very sweet.


    Fifth prince, how sincere are you to me?


    While thinking about it, I heard Qinghe outside the door saying, "if you want to return to the girl, the fifth prince asked Xiao Liu to send something to the girl."


    Shen Tian sneered and said, "let him in." Then quickly put it back in place.


    When Qinghe leads the people in, Shen Tian already sits on the chair with a smile. Liu Xue went forward to invite Shen Tian An with a smile, and then said, "when the fifth Prince passed by Gulou Street today, he personally went to baiweizhai to buy two kinds of snacks and asked the little one to send them to Miss Shen." With that, he handed the box to Qinghe, who opened the lid and handed it to Shen Tian. There are two kinds of exquisite cakes, crystal sweet scented osmanthus cake and purple sweet potato glutinous rice dumpling.


    Shen Tian took a handkerchief to cover the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "it''s hard for the fifth prince to work as a messenger every day. How can you come here to deliver things this time? Who will serve the fifth prince? "


    Liu Xue said with a smile, "the little fellow who often comes here has been ill these two days and is keeping him in the prince''s house. The rest of them had never seen the girls, so the fifth Prince did not dare to send them, so he let the little one come. This snack was bought by the slave with the prince. It''s the last one today. " Shen Tian said with a smile, "it''s hard for you. You''re tired after running for the fifth Prince for a long time. Qinghe, take Mr. Liu down to have some tea and let him go. " Liu Xue retired with a smile.


    Seeing that he had gone out, Shen Tian said, "go and invite mother Qi over, and then he said that I have something to ask her about Chuang Tzu in Tanggu." The little servant girl promised to go, and after a while Qi''s mother rushed over.


    Shen Tian so ordered a few words, Qi''s mother promised to go, and soon Liu Xue took a thick red envelope and left triumphantly. As everyone knows, Shen Tian has heard the flaw from his mouth.


    If the slaves who came to the palace were ill, they would be arranged in the palace office outside the Forbidden City. Now the fifth Prince is still living in the palace, and his slaves have to abide by these rules. Those who have never heard of sick slaves coming to the prince''s house to recuperate are not afraid to pass the disease to the master.


    But in two quarters of an hour, Qi''s mother came back. She whispered back in front of Shen Tian, "I asked. This afternoon, a little father-in-law did buy some boxes of snacks."


    Shen Tian asked, "what snacks did he buy? Did you ask?"


    Qi''s mother replied, "the man in baiweizhai said that the father-in-law also asked pregnant women what they usually eat. The man recommended plum cake and lotus seed cake. Then the little father-in-law ordered two things at will. Later, he got on a very expensive carriage and left


    Shen Tian listened and said with a smile, "OK, I know. It''s hard work, mom. Go ahead and get busy first." After Qi''s mother went out, she drove everyone out again. Then the box of cakes fell to the ground, hum, also personally selected, really take her as a monkey?!


    Tears ran down Shen Tian''s eyes. She looked up at the roof. Originally, it was royal marriage. They didn''t have any feelings. What she asked for was just the respect her husband should have. However, since the wedding, the fifth prince always sent some trinkets, food, drink, play, almost see what good things will be sent.


    The servant girls around were very happy, and their parents were happy that they could cultivate their feelings before marriage. Originally, she thought that the fifth prince had a sincere heart for her. Until now, she found out that all this was a hoax.


    The things she once cherished and collected with great care were just picked by a eunuch "casually", so it''s better for her to come here with no love and no righteousness.


    You can not love me, but can not pretend to love me to deceive my feelings.


    The thing called love in Shen Tian''s heart had just sprouted, and then it was uprooted. She raised her hand to dry the residual tears on her cheek and pulled the corners of her mouth. Since you love acting so much, I will accompany you to play. Wife, concubine, isn''t that what you want? How can I help you? It''s just that my interests can''t be violated.

 Chapter 132

    The next morning, Shen Tian went to greet his mother as usual. Seeing her coming so early, Han quickly pulled her to his side and said, "if you are not happy in your heart, just take a rest in the yard for a few days. If you don''t come, I still blame you."


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "after thinking about it all night, my daughter decided that she couldn''t wait to die like this. The woman had already lived in the fifth Prince''s house. The fifth prince sent a close eunuch to wait on her. If she is really allowed to give birth to the eldest son, the future of her daughter will be very difficult. So, we should wait while others don''t know about it. "


    Han patted her hand. "Leave it to me. Don''t dirty your hand."


    Shen Tian shook his head. "Mother, let me do it by myself this time. I''ll face these things sooner or later." And then I said what I thought.


    Han looked at her daughter''s firm eyes and listened to her explain all the arrangements, but suddenly she burst into tears. She put her daughter in her arms and said, "my dear daughter, you are my mother''s heart and soul. Today, if you are the son of an ordinary family, your father and I can come to you and ask for justice. However, in the face of the royal family, I have to swallow my anger and not say it, but also let you marry with tears in your heart and smile on your face. It hurts to be my mother. "


    Shen Tian cried and said, "mother, don''t worry. I''ll get back the justice others owe me one day."


    The maid who saved the fifth Prince is called yinlian. Her ancestral home is Jinling. She looks graceful and weak. She has the charm of a Jiangnan woman. Like to wear moon white, lotus green and other very light color clothes, if leisurely here, will certainly exclaim "little white flower" "white lotus"?


    Although she was stabbed for the fifth prince at that time, it was winter at that time, and she was heavily dressed. The knife just pierced her skin and flesh. In exchange for the fifth Prince''s kindness and pity, he coaxed the fifth prince into allowing her to be pregnant and wanted to invite a concubine for her. How to look at it, it''s all a scheming little white flower.


    At the beginning, yinlian just wanted to get the master''s pity and live a better life. But people''s desire is often difficult to fill, with this will want that. With love, you want children. With children, you want identity and power.


    She knew that it was absolutely impossible to be a concubine in her own capacity, but if she could firmly hold the favor of the fifth prince, she would get the right to be the steward of the prince''s house. Even if it was just a period of time before the passing of the Royal concubine, she had a way to put a few people in the main courtyard. At that time, as long as the legitimate Prince and imperial concubine can''t give birth to children, with the eldest son of the common people, they will be the only big family.


    Yinlian is imagining her dream of glory in the future. She suddenly feels that her stomach is aching. She shouts out, "Oh, my stomach is aching. Come on." Hearing the news, the eunuch rushed in.


    When the fifth Prince got the news and rushed back, the fetus in yinlian''s stomach had fallen down. The fifth prince was so angry that he ordered that the eunuchs who served her in the Palace should be dragged down to fight against thirty big boards. They all pleaded with yinlian, but she only cried to the fifth Prince and ignored them. It''s not good to wait for idle people to hit the 20 boards, not to mention the 30 boards? On weekdays, other things are all right. The executioner will put some water in. But now the fifth Prince is in a rage, and everyone dares not do favoritism. As a result, several of them died on the spot.


    After the doctor saw it, he just said that he had eaten too much to promote blood circulation, but he didn''t see anything unusual when he saw all the eating utensils. He had to wave his hand and point to the plum cake and say, "if it''s just ordinary people, pregnant women are not suitable to eat too much sour food, otherwise it will cause blood to surge, and then lead to slippery fetus." Then he hung the book bag for a long time. The fifth prince was impatient to listen to these and waved him down.


    He turned his head to comfort yinlian. Just now when the servant came to report yinlian''s abortion, there was a feeling of relief in his heart. Now there will be no more eldest son. In the future, no one can criticize him because of this.


    For yinlian, he is still a bit sincere. After all, this weak woman blocked him and saved his life. He will give her honor and wealth and treat her well in the future. But before there was no legitimate son, she made up her mind that she would not be pregnant again. When Shen Tian got the news, it was two days later. After all, her manpower is limited, and the secret Xinyuan of the prince''s mansion is not so easy to explore. After hearing the news, Shen Tian breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned. There are only some servant girls around her. It would be inconvenient to do some secret things in the future.


    She thought about it and asked her father for help. So he took the servant girl to his father''s study. After listening to his daughter''s intention, Shen Guogong was much more happy than he imagined. "I already know your grievance. Since you have taken care of it yourself, it''s very good. But as you remember, you are the eldest daughter of my loyal government. You don''t have to bear some grievances. Just report them on the spot. "


    Shen Tian got what she wanted and left with the people her father gave her. Her father gave her twenty people with a big hand. Now she didn''t worry about no one to use. But my father also said that she would pay for the food and clothing of these people. You know, the cost of raising a good spy is not comparable to that of a maid. Shen Tian calculated his private house, and then thought about how to open it?


    For these things, leisurely all don''t know, these two days she is all in the Embroidery Wedding dress.


    On this day, Meng suddenly brought a lot of things.


    Leisurely went to the living room, asked after an "adoptive mother how to bring so many things today? Why is there furniture? " On the ground lay a set of round table chairs carved with red sandalwood, a Luohan couch and many cages.


    Meng called her to him and said, "I said that I would give you a dowry according to the standard of Hou Fu''s daughter''s marriage, but Shen Ze was just a man when he was engaged. Therefore, I didn''t prepare too expensive furniture for you. I thought I would give you more money. Now that he is a senior official of three grades, he has given so many betrothal gifts. If you have less dowry, won''t you be despised? There are not many things. It''s just a few pieces of furniture, some decorations and some headgear. You can''t refuse. I''ll write them in your dowry list later. " Then he said a few words and left in a hurry.


    After she left, when she went to have a look, she found that in addition to a few kinds of furniture, there were a pair of coral bonsai more than three feet high, a pair of jade carving decorations of Huanglong, a set of boxwood comb, a set of red sandalwood comb, and a total of 36 sets of colorful head faces, which almost caught up with all her existing head faces.


    These things can not go back, leisurely also can only sigh to accept, only hope to find a chance to repay the elder in the future.

 Chapter 133

    In the middle of May, the title of the fifth prince was finally settled. He was made the king of Chu. The former three princes and four princes were the king of Zhou and the king of Wu respectively. Although in addition to the prince, several brothers are granted the title of Prince, but obviously the title of king of Chu is more noble than the other two. For a while, the king of Chu was very popular inside and outside the court.


    Then, qintian monitored the auspicious day and offered it to Emperor Longde. So emperor Longde decreed that the eighth day of August was the auspicious day for the king of Chu to get married. He asked the house of internal affairs to handle the affairs of the king of Chu''s wedding.


    After seeing off the eunuch and others who came to preach, Han held her daughter''s hand tightly. Seeing that her daughter would not stay at home for a long time, she was always reluctant to give up.


    But if you don''t give up, this day will come soon.


    For example, on the seventh day of the lunar new year, the princess''s dowry will be sent to the palace, also known as Songjia, and her relatives and friends will come here to add the dowry.


    Zhongguo''s mansion has been cleaned up and decorated with joy. In the early morning, some guests came with heavy gifts.


    Shen Tian was married to an ordinary family. People didn''t dare to look down upon the power of the government. What''s more, Shen Tian is the princess of the county and the daughter-in-law of the Tian family. Who dares to look down upon her? The gift of adding make-up naturally does not dare to be thinned.


    Meng came early in the morning to help Han entertain the guests, including the Shen family''s patriarch''s wife, the eldest daughter-in-law, and several dignified family members. After all, it''s the honor of the whole family to have a princess.


    Leisurely because she is Shen Ze''s fiancee, today''s occasion is not suitable to appear, so only Lin''s mother came with a few servant girls.


    As soon as Chen Shi was over, the guests were almost there, and they all proposed to see Shen Tian''s dowry. Han got up with a smile and took everyone to the yard where the dowry was in full bloom.


    Even knowing that Shen Tian''s dowry couldn''t be reduced, people were shocked by the cages full of the yard. First of all, it was the most important farm floor. When I saw the adobe tiles on the box, there were ten thousand mu of land, two houses and ten or twenty shops.


    If you look at the furniture again, it''s said that it''s the best red sandalwood and huanghuali furniture nowadays. It''s rare to see other people, a complete set of red sandalwood and huanghuali furniture. This whole set of furniture is not a one-piece trick, but a complete set of furniture, including a walking bed, a Luohan couch, a vertical cabinet, a top cabinet, a bookcase, a desk, a table with eight immortals, a Bogu rack and so on. The rest of the eaglewood carvings, inlaid boxes, ebony boxes and other small pieces are also fine.


    As for the decorations, the first ones are a pair of white jade Ruyi, jade Ruyi and gold inlaid jade Ruyi. Although each Prince''s wedding, the three will reward a pair of Ruyi to express the sincerity of the royal family. But they all think that the couple of Ruyi of Princess Liang is better than those of Princess Zhou and Princess Wu. The first pair of one person high Western clocks are also very eye-catching. There are all kinds of jadeite bonsai, coral trees, crystal plates and agate vases.


    Look at the box full of four seasons clothes, silks and satins, headgear, rouge powder, antique calligraphy and paintings, herbs and spices. It''s really rich.


    The public saw it and praised it. Some of them have a good memory. A little estimation shows that although they only have 108 items in front of them, their value is obviously higher than the 120 dowries of the princess.


    When Shen Mingchang came back from the border, he made a fortune again. With a wave of his hand, he brought out many good things to his daughter. In addition to the gifts from some clansmen and relatives, Shen Tian''s dowry was barely crammed into the 108. Some top-quality head gestures, jewels and jades are hidden under the box, and are not revealed. In other people''s place, maybe a gem will be put in a brocade box, and then a dozen boxes will be put in it. She has a box full of jewels. There are more than ten big boxes full of jewels and pearls. Shen Tian thinks that these jewels will be enough for her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law. In addition to the things given by her parents, some of them were sent to her by a wealthy businessman through leisurely hand. If it had been before, Shen Tian would not have collected such things of unknown origin. But since she found the real face of the fifth prince, she suddenly had another idea. What the fifth Prince has done shows that he is ambitious. If he really has that life, how about pushing him? In the future, who can say exactly?


    After watching for a while, some of them began to make up. As Shen Tian''s aunt, Meng Shi is also a lady of Gaoming. People push her to come first. Meng took two gold boxes from the maid''s hand. After opening them, there were two sets of red gold headbands in one. One was a red gold silk headband with Phoenix wings, five tails inlaid with jade and seven treasures, a set of Chiba gold peony headband, a pair of transparent green glass jade bracelets and a pair of purple jade hairpin carved with Magnolia.


    After that, Mrs. Li opened the box and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she prepared two more things in the morning. Otherwise, she would be thin. Her make-up gift is two sets of head, one set with pearl and one set with tourmaline. Although it is not as good as Meng''s, it is also heavy in terms of the relationship between the two families.


    Next, you all gave a heavy gift to fill your makeup. Mrs. Lin smacked her tongue to herself. Fortunately, she brought her daughter a set of top-grade emerald face and a set of Pearl face. Otherwise, she would lose face. Leisurely presents a small screen with flowers and birds embroidered by yourself, a small table screen embroidered with hibiscus flowers, a pair of lanolin white jade mandarin duck buttons and a pair of Jasper three-layer carved aromatherapy balls. The latter two are leisurely painted and customized. People here say that the style is quite novel and exquisite. Rao is Shen Tian''s soft hand in receiving gifts recently. After seeing these things, his eyes are still bright.


    After everyone had finished adding makeup, Shen Tian had to give thanks one by one. They quickly turned aside and received only half of the ceremony. When they finished the canonization ceremony tomorrow, they would be the only ones to do it. Han sent people to transcribe all these things and put them in his daughter''s dowry.


    With such a short time, Shen Tian suddenly received hundreds of sets. In addition to the 120 sets originally prepared by his family and the things prepared by the Ministry of internal affairs, Shen Tian really didn''t want to repeat them after a year.


    At the time of everyone''s envious discussion, Cuilan came in and said, "the king of Zhou has brought some of the clan''s children to urge makeup."


    Han''s busy life, people will be loaded things, cover, tie red silk.


    With the sound of drumming, all the people of Shen''s family wore new clothes and red silk around their waists. They carried Shen Tian''s dowry out of the gate. The first dowry was carried to the gate of King Liang''s residence, and the last one was still in the Shen family''s courtyard. The onlookers talked and praised, "it''s really ten li red dowry. You can see that the dowry bearers are bent down. It''s full."


    Not to mention the common people, they were the princes who came to urge the makeup. When they saw the five princes, they were envious and jealous. Be endowed with both beauty and talent, the real daughter of the country''s official daughter is awesome. The real power is to let the old woman get a good marriage.

 Chapter 134

    On the eighth day of August, the king of Liang went to the Queen''s palace to give three respects and nine kowtows to the empress dowager, the emperor and the empress. Fang took the princess''s luanjia and luanyiwei, the officials of the house of interior and the servants of the king''s house to marry the new couple.


    In the sound of drumming and firecrackers, Shen Tian was carried to the Luan sedan chair by his elder brother Shen Ze, and started an unknown life.


    After the wedding, the king of Liang was naturally attentive and gentle to her. He also helped her thrush herself. Even if he had known what he had done for a long time, Shen Tian, who was just beginning to fall in love with him, almost fell in love with him. She didn''t wake up until yinlian appeared in front of her.


    On the ninth day of August, they went to the palace early in the morning to see each other. On the tenth day of August, they naturally returned. In the morning of the eleventh day, when Wang Liang was eating with her, a maid came to tell her, "if you want to go back to the Lord, madam Xu would like to see you."


    Liang Wang frowned and said, "why is she here?"


    The servant girl shrunk and said, "Lady Xu said that since there is already a concubine in the palace, she should come here to greet the concubine."


    Shen Tian pretended to be surprised and asked, "is there a concubine around the Lord? Let her in


    The king of Liang said uneasily, "it''s just a maid in waiting. It wasn''t a big deal, so I didn''t tell you."


    At this time, yinlian just came to the door. When she heard the king of Liang say so, she turned red. She asked Shen Tian to bow down and say "Hello, my maid."


    Shen Tian had already prepared, but she didn''t mean to embarrass her. She said with a smile, "get up, what''s your name? How long have you been serving the Lord? Which palace was it originally from? "


    Yinlian replied, "the maidservant is called yinlian. She used to be a maid in the palace of Mobei. Last year, she just followed the king."


    Hearing this, Shen Tian frowned and said, "in this case, you can stay in the backyard. It''s your duty to serve the Lord." Turning around, he told Qinghe to take a pair of silver twined silk bracelets to reward her. "There was no one in charge in the backyard of the palace before, so I don''t care about your transgression. It''s just that in the future, it''s still up to you to dress as you are. "


    Hearing this, yinlian said, "I don''t know what I did wrong. Please forgive me." With that, her eyes turned red.


    That kind of shivering and pathetic look really made the king of Liang feel sad. Shen Tian sneered in his heart and asked the servant girl to mix her up. He frowned and said, "didn''t I make it very clear? I don''t care about the past. You have no position now. As a rule, you can''t wear gold ornaments, and you can''t wear step-by-step.you can''t be so ostentatious in the future. If you are seen by an outsider, you will not say anything about you. You will only laugh at the Lord for not having any rules. Let a concubine wear gold and silver to flaunt around. At that time, the reputation of our palace will be bad. Hello, I''ve been waiting on the Lord. I''ll give you something I should give you. Naturally, I won''t treat you badly. "


    After listening to this, Liang Wang''s original idea of cherishing jade was blown away, and he said, "well, since you''ve invited an, you can go down." Silver lotus also want to crook again, see Liang Wang already showed impatient look, in the heart a tight, quickly backed down.


    As soon as yinlian went out, Shen Tian turned his mouth and said, "I really don''t see that the Lord is very charming. There is such a charming concubine beside him. He doesn''t even know the truth."


    Liang Wang embarrassed smile, "if ordinary concubine, I certainly already sent away.". But this silver lotus, when I was in the palace in Mobei, blocked the assassin''s knife for me. It''s also my life-saving benefactor, so it''s not easy to dismiss it at will. "


    Shen Tian exclaimed, "when did the Lord meet the assassin? I don''t know at all. Have you been hurt, Lord?"


    Seeing Shen Tian''s concern, Liang Wang said with a smile, "thanks to yinlian, I didn''t hurt anything. But she has been in a coma for several days, and is still a little sick today. "¡° No wonder I saw her very thin just now. " Shen Tian said, and then told Qinghe to "pick out some good supplements from my dowry, and then take some good satins to reward Mrs. Xu. She said that if I let her take good care of them, I would never treat her badly."


    Then Shen Tian said to Liang Wang with a smile, "since she is the Savior of Wang Ye, Wang Ye doesn''t ask for an identity for her. It''s not chilling for her to stay in the palace so plainly? If not, please give her a side imperial concubine


    Although Liang Wang had this idea in his heart, he declined to say, "forget it, what''s her origin? One concubine is enough. "


    Shen Tian said, "no matter how low her original identity is, she is also the Savior of the Lord. If she is not there, now I don''t know if I can talk to the Lord, let alone the side princess. I would be happy to give up my princess''s position to her."


    After listening to this, the king of Liang said, "what are you talking about? I only recognize you as a princess in my life. I''m very lucky to have such a virtuous and generous wife as you. " Then he held her in his arms. He didn''t see the sneer of the person in his arms. A woman with humble background occupied the position of a side imperial concubine, which was better than a woman with strong family background.


    After a few days, Shen Tian personally reported to the empress, and Xu yinlian was officially granted the title of Queen of the Liang Dynasty. This has earned Shen Tian a good reputation as "virtuous and generous".


    On the day of the Mid Autumn Festival, at the dinner held by the royal family, the Empress Dowager also made great efforts to praise Shen Tian for this event, and gave a lot of good things. As for the princess Xu, who did not attend the banquet, she only gave a few silks and satins as a rule, and did not even have a gold hairpin. She naturally knows the inside story. She doesn''t like Princess Xu, who is used to playing a weak role. She can''t know these things for a while. At the moment, she is preparing for marriage nervously. Although she comes from the past, she is still a little uneasy because she gets married for the first time in her two lives.


    In order to prepare for her marriage, the family even made do with mid autumn.


    In a twinkling of an eye, August 19 is the day to add dowry to leisurely. Although the Lin family is not well-off, over the years, Lin''s mother has bought her daughter a 200 mu small Chuang Tzu and a shop near Wenhua college. In addition, there are 16 sets of gold and silver jewelry, 8 sets of bedding, 16 sets of four seasons clothes, and rouge, water, powder, head and oil grates, which cost a total of 56000 Liang.


    Although the real estate of the Lin family is limited, in the past two years, under the leisurely guidance, Lao Liu tou and several people have planted lotus roots and raised fish and ducks in the pond of the Lin family village. He has bought more than ten mu of land on the other side of the pond and several ponds around it. He has grown rice in the land and raised fish and crabs in the paddy field. So less than 20 mu of land has an annual income of four or five hundred Liang. In addition, in winter, a greenhouse will be built to grow some vegetables, and a cellar will be dug to store some fruits and so on. There will be about 1000 liang of income every year.


    Although the money spent on the dowries prepared by Lin''s mother was not enough for the furniture prepared by Meng''s family, it was also the vast majority of her savings. There are seven or eight hundred taels of silver left in the family for a rainy day.


    Home preparation, Han Fu''s, and leisurely''s own private room are filled with 68 dowries.

 Chapter 135

    In the early morning of October 19, it is a good day for making-up delivery, drying and adding. Lin''s family, friends and neighbors came early. Han''s and Meng''s are just that. Lin''s neighbors never thought that this neighbor''s family was not exposed to mountains and water, but they could buy such a heavy dowry for their daughter. Most of the people living near the Lin family are low-ranking officials and gentlemen of the Wenhua Academy. Their family background is generally not rich. Some people can''t afford such a dowry even with their own efforts. There are those small minded people who can''t help muttering, but when they see Meng and Shen sitting at the top, they dare not show it.


    They were just about to start when they heard the servant report that "the instrument of the empress of the Liang princess has arrived outside the door." After hearing this, even leisurely was surprised. She didn''t expect that Shen Tian would come to make up for her. Because Han''s family is leisurely in the future, it''s not good to come and make up in person today. Two days ago, someone sent someone to deliver things. There were all kinds of red gold and gem inlaid heads, jade ornaments, gold and silver collars, mink skin and deer antler, makeup satin and mang pieces, and precious medicinal materials. They gave two boxes of things, which made leisurely''s dowry carry two more.


    In the heart again is shocked, she also hurriedly should go to the door. Fortunately, most of today''s family members are women, and only a few close relatives of the Lin family have been invited to Enron''s study to avoid suspicion.


    When they arrive at the door, Lin''s mother and leisurely are about to give a big gift. They are blocked by Shen Tian''s servant girl. She says with a smile, "they are not outsiders. They don''t have to be so polite. My aunt and sister don''t mind if I come uninvited. "


    Lin''s mother quickly said, "it''s the honor of our family that the princess can kiss me to my humble home. Please come inside, princess."


    Shen Tian was surrounded to the inner courtyard. For the first time in his life, many people could see people of the rank of princess. Just now, Mrs. Hou, the Meng family, has opened people''s eyes. Now there is another Princess of the Liang Dynasty. She is more elegant and dignified. Everyone feels that today''s show is not in vain.


    Shen Tian''s identity is the most expensive. Although Meng''s is her aunt, the royal rules are there. Naturally, she is the leader.


    Shen Tian knew leisurely''s preference. She presented a set of jadeite jewelry. The jadeite texture was clear and greasy, and the color was rare bamboo blue. It was very valuable at first sight. The crowd was full of praise.


    Then there is Meng. Although she has given leiran a valuable dowry, today''s day will not be underestimated. She also asked the maid to hold two brocade boxes, one with a set of red gold and emerald inlaid head, and the other with a set of purple jade jewelry. The purple jade is warm, elegant and leisurely.


    Meng said with a smile, "I happened to get a piece of Purple Jade a few months ago. The rare thing is that the quality of the jade is pretty good. I think this kind of color is suitable for you young people, so I''ll let people make several sets of headdresses carefully, one for the princess, and the other for you. "


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "the jewelry given by my aunt is very good. Look, I''m wearing the bracelet today." According to the words, they saw the purple jade imperial concubine bracelet on Shen Tian''s left wrist. With Shen Tian''s body movement, there was a warm glow flowing, and they were amazed.


    Aunt Lin saw the scene of Dading last time. She had a plan. This time, she also brought out a pair of hairpins with red coral inlaid with broken gems. Leisurely''s great aunt gave a pair of red gold butterfly hairpins inlaid with pearls, and her second aunt gave a pair of Ganoderma lucidum bamboo hairpins. Naturally, they are not as rich as Meng''s, but they are also the best things they can bring out with their family background. Leisurely nature will not dislike, very sincerely thank a few people.


    Some of the neighbors who originally came to add makeup thought that if everyone was like Meng''s way of adding makeup, the things they brought were really not good enough. They were hesitant to add some more on the basis of the original gifts. Now I see leisurely aunt and aunt add things, although not bad, but with their own things are almost the same, so everyone is secretly relieved.


    Then they took out their belongings one after another. They were nothing more than gold and silver jewelry, silk ruler and so on. Although they were not particularly valuable, they were not too thin. They didn''t know that Lin''s mother was also secretly relieved at this time. If you accept other people''s things, you will have to pay back the favor in the future. If everyone gives them too much, it will be a trouble to pay back the favor in the future.


    Lin''s mother asked people to straighten out these things, and then put together two dowries, plus the two dowries given by Han and the two dowries sent by Fang Xinsu in the morning. In this way, it is seventy-four dowries. Lin''s mother felt that this figure was not very auspicious. She opened the storeroom again, picked up some things and put together two sets. In the end, leisurely''s dowry was as much as 76. Moreover, each dowry is full of weight. Although it can''t compare with Shen Tian''s ten mile red dowry, it is similar to the daughter of the Duke''s family.


    It''s natural to start with the red sandalwood inlaid with jade that the Empress Dowager gave her at the beginning. It''s the thinned dowry. With the royal reward in it, it will be precious, not to mention the leisurely dowry itself. When people heard that it was the dowry of the elder sister Lang, they stopped to watch it. The way to send the dowry was also beautiful.


    When they were sent to Shen Ze''s house, Shen''s patriarch''s wife and some elderly people of different generations saw it and smacked their tongue. They never thought that it was just a girl from a maid''s family. Originally, the family was just a farming family. They could have such a rich dowry. There were 10000 taels of silver in the light box, among which there were gifts from the Empress Dowager and the emperor. Apart from the ten thousand taels of betrothal money Shen Ze sent in the past, the rest is worth more than twenty thousand taels of silver. No wonder at the beginning, Han would help Shen zeding with such a marriage.


    When Shen Ze''s engagement came back to Jinzhou, most of the Shen family didn''t think much of it. Although Shen Ze''s parents died, his family fortune was not diminished, and he passed the examination again. Even if he married the daughter of a wealthy family, he was not insulting. I didn''t expect that a poor woman who was a servant girl soon after leaving the country was finally appointed, which surprised a group of people. Many people think that Youran has something to do with Han''s, so that he can help Shen Ze decide such a marriage. Even the patriarch''s wife was dissatisfied, but she had not yet written to inquire about it. It is said that Miss Lin formally worshipped the couple of marquis Changping as adoptive father and adoptive mother, and her younger brother became a disciple of Han imperial master. In this way, the two families can match each other, but they are still suspicious.


    Later, the girl''s younger brother suddenly won the first prize, and everyone changed their suspicion to praise. They all thought the marriage was good. The number one scholar of that year is now a scholar of five grades, though not as senior as Shen Ze. However, the promotion of Wen Chen was slower than that of the military officer. Besides, Lin Zhuangyuan, who was only a few years old this year, was already a high-ranking official of five grades. Behind him were the feelings of Han imperial master and the face of Han Shangshu. As long as he didn''t commit any crimes, he would be able to get to a high position.


    Now, seeing such a rich dowry, and seeing Lin Zhuangyuan who came to give the dowry, who was beautiful and elegant, they all praised him one after another. I heard that the number one scholar had not been engaged yet, so I had a little calculation in my heart.

 Chapter 136

    Lin Enron didn''t know that someone had an idea for him at this time. After receiving the banquet hosted by the Shen family, he went home with his relatives and friends. He didn''t even dare to drink a few glasses of wine. Tomorrow is the right day. It''s not good to delay my sister''s business. Fortunately, people were considerate, so they didn''t ask for it.


    At night, leisurely looking out of the window of his house, the whole house is a piece of red. I want to get married tomorrow. I want to adapt to everything from my heart. I have a long way to go. I don''t know what will happen?


    At this time, mother Lin''s voice sounded outside, "you sister, are you asleep?" Leisurely hastened to open the door, "I haven''t slept yet, mother. You haven''t had a rest so late?"


    Lin''s mother said with a smile, "thinking that tomorrow you are going to marry someone else''s home, how can I sleep? When I see the light in your room is still on, I want to come in and talk to you." Then he handed a gold box to leisurely and said, "this is my mother''s idea. Although it''s not much, it can be regarded as an extra pocket money for you."


    Leisurely open the box, saw a total of two thousand taels of silver, can''t help shouting "where is this silver, we have so much money?"


    Mrs. Lin said with a smile, "last year, your brother said that he had made some money and given me 1000 Liang. In addition, you have also given me more than 1000 liang of silver tickets in recent years. I have left some of them for you. The son-in-law of 10000 liang of silver knows it. I''m afraid you can''t move. If you keep the money, you''ll be more flexible. "


    He pushed the box back leisurely. "I can''t take these banknotes. My mother doesn''t know that I haven''t saved much money in the past two years. I can get two or three thousand Liang just by selling flowers every year. In addition to the two pieces of embroidery sold the year before last, I have a lot of private money in my hand. It''s just that I didn''t put them all in the silver box in order to be less conspicuous. Mother gave me all your private rooms. What can I do in the future? "


    "Now I don''t have much money to spend. Besides, I still have a few hundred taels of silver left, which is enough for me to spend for many years." Seeing that leisurely still had to refuse, Lin''s mother said, "most of our houses and fields are bought by you with your own private houses? Now it''s just to give you back your money. What''s wrong? I''ll be annoyed if you don''t take it. "


    Smell speech, leisurely had to take the box "daughter, thank mother, since the mother insisted to give, give a thousand Liang meaning.". Horizontal and vertical daughter is not lack of these, if in order to make up for my mother''s hand, the daughter''s heart can not be stable. Mother will take back half of it, or I''d rather not take a cent. " Seeing her daughter''s insistence, Lin''s mother had to take back the one thousand taels of silver.


    The two women said some private words again. Although Lin''s mother has not taught her daughter how to be a wife in the past two years, she always feels that what she said is not detailed enough. She has to tell her own experience in detail again. Leisurely did not feel any impatience, but patiently listen. There was a saying in the past life, didn''t it¡° If you listen to those experienced people about her past experience, you will experience less in the future.


    Lin''s mother, after her husband died of illness and her daughter sold herself as a maid, did not blindly feel sorry for herself. Instead, he made a reasonable plan to urge his son to study hard and work hard to save money for his daughter. Not to mention how difficult it is for the orphan and widowed mother to survive, Lin Mu''s insight alone is admirable. In later generations, it is also a proper inspirational blockbuster. Such a person, even though he can''t pass through two generations leisurely and has a wide range of knowledge, has his own unique views on the world.


    The two of them chatted to the middle of the moon. Lin''s mother said, "I don''t know if I''ve been nagging for so long." Leisurely smile "daughter like to listen to her mother, and later also want to listen to her mother so nagging, I''m afraid there are not many opportunities."


    Lin''s mother patted her daughter''s hand and said, "good boy, you are transparent. I''m sure you can make a good life. Come on, it''s getting late. You should rest early. I''ll get up early tomorrow morning. "


    Leisurely take mother Lin to the door. Just as she is about to leave, she suddenly turns around and says with a smile, "look at me. I''m busy talking, but I almost forget the business." Then he took out a pamphlet from his sleeve and put it into his daughter''s hand. Then he blushed and said, "don''t be afraid. Although it will hurt a little, it will be good to go there. Well, you can see it with your son-in-law. " With that, he left in a hurry. From Lin Mu''s face leisurely already guessed this approximately is what thing, therefore did not feel surprised. After she closed the door, she lay on the bed and looked at it with great interest for a while. Then she sighed for a while. Who said the ancients were reserved? Look at this painting, it''s really full of tricks and fun. Leisurely turned over a few pages and then stuffed it into the bottom of the cabinet. She thought she might lose sleep tonight, but she didn''t expect to fall asleep after lying in bed for a while.


    The next morning, amidst the sound of firecrackers and drumming, she was carried on her brother''s back to the sedan chair, and began her new life.


    Shen Ze, dressed in a proper wedding dress, rode on a high horse at the front of the line, surrounded by some of his relatives and friends, all the way to the Shen family.


    Because the two families were so close, the sedan chair went around Wenhua street to return to the Shen family.


    Shen Ze''s family is very busy today, not to mention he is a member of the government. Just because of his position as a general in the capital camp, he was able to attract a group of guests. With the arrival of Emperor Han, all his brothers came to support him. Some of his former schoolmates, Shen family members, colleagues in the officialdom and some comrades in arms in the Yumenguan campaign, also opened more than 70 tables.


    On the men''s side, those who practice writing and martial arts account for half. Although the steward has tried to arrange for colleagues or acquaintances to sit at the same table, there are always those who are not familiar with each other. Fortunately, since emperor Gaozu, the Dakang Dynasty has always encouraged ministers to be both civil and military. Few high-ranking military officers can''t read big words. Therefore, even civil and military officers can exchange greetings with each other until nothing unhappy happens.


    Men''s social life is always easier, while women in the backyard care about more things. For example, the bride''s dowry is the primary concern of women.


    In particular, some relatives and friends who didn''t come here yesterday said with a smile, "I heard that the bride''s dowry was very rich, and the reward from the long live master and the ladies in the palace. It''s a pity that we haven''t seen it."


    Han, sitting at the top of the table, said with a smile, "what''s the difficulty? Since you want to see it, just go and have a look. The dowry is in the new house." With that, he led them to the new house for a while.


    At this time, although the wedding is in the morning, but the wedding is in the evening, so leisurely came here and only sat on the new bed. Originally, there were only jade sandalwood and willow leaves in the room. Leisurely lifted half of the cover and leaned on the bedding behind him for a little rest. After hearing the footsteps, he immediately put down the hood and sat on the edge of the bed. The two servant girls quickly arranged the bed and the lady''s wedding dress.


    When all the women came, they saw the bride sitting on the edge of the bed, with two servant girls on the side, praising her good manners and posture.

 Chapter 137

    Of course, the gifts were offered in the center of the main hall. After a visit, people began to look at the furniture in the room. We can see that the furniture is a complete set of red and sour branches, including exquisite walking bed, beauty couch, arhat bed, cabinet, top cabinet, eight immortals table, round table, desk, clothes rack, etc. If you look closely, there are several pieces of red sandalwood and huanghuali furniture, all of which are exquisitely carved. Naturally, the pair of Western landing clocks placed at the door are very conspicuous. Some people will show off their pocket watches for a long time even if they have a pocket watch at home. Now when they see the pair of clocks, they are envious. If you look at the bedding, cushion, bedspread and curtain, they are all made of fine silk.


    There is also the cage which is still wrapped with red silk and locked with a copper lock, and the three-story red sandalwood dowry on the dresser. Although it doesn''t show any jewel, it is already very magnificent.


    I didn''t look at it carefully just now. When I looked at it again, I saw that the bride''s wedding dress was full of splendor and glow. I knew that it was not an ordinary product. Although I don''t know what I look like, I know I''m slim by looking at it. Then I think that since I can be Han''s big maid, I will not look too bad. They all marveled.


    In the evening, after Yiying''s worship ceremony, leisurely return to the bridal chamber has removed the red veil. Some of the relatives who had not left saw the bride''s appearance. They saw that she was elegant and elegant. Shen Ze was tall and handsome. She was really a man and a woman, a beautiful couple. People have more than fun.


    Then Shen Ze went to the front yard. There are still some guests coming this evening. He always entertains them in front. The wives who stayed in the house knew that the bride was going to change her clothes, so they went out with interest.


    Yu Tan took out a pair of red embroidered silver peony pattern skirt from the box he brought with him, and tied a pomegranate skirt underneath. He took off Zhai Guan from his head, cleaned his face again, rubbed on the powder, and put on the red gold, emerald and jeweled little Phoenix hairpin and a long hairpin given by Meng, which made his skin white, hair black and his eyebrows picturesque.


    After a while, Shen Xi came bouncing. Mother Wang followed her, holding a tray in her hand. Seeing this, Liu Ye quickly took it over and put it on the table. Mother Wang said with a smile, "I thought that my grandmother was hungry, so I made some food specially. The kitchen is in a hurry, so I picked up two kinds of clean ready-made snacks. The porridge is made with the small stove in the girl''s yard. Grandma can rest assured to use some. " A bowl of steaming millet and red dates porridge, a dish of red bean cake and a dish of Begonia crisp were placed in the tray.


    Leisurely said with a smile, "please bother mother Wang." Because leisurely often goes to the government to visit Shen Xi, she is also very familiar with mother Wang.


    Shen Xi looked at them, then asked with wide eyes, "sister Lin, mother Wang said that I would call your sister-in-law in the future. Is that so?"


    Carefree touch Shen Xi''s head "yes, do you like it?"


    Who would have thought. When she asked, Shen Xi suddenly turned his mouth and began to cry. Leisurely can''t take care of the new clothes on the body, quickly squat down and hold Shen Xi, "sister Xi doesn''t cry, what''s the matter with you?"


    Shen Xi said, "if you become my sister-in-law, will you still hurt me like before?"


    Leisurely picked up the handkerchief to help her wipe the tears around her eyes, "silly child, sister-in-law will only love you more." Wang''s mother also said, "don''t worry, girl. Your grandmother will live in our house in the future. You can see your sister-in-law every day. Isn''t it better?"


    Shen Xi broke his tears into a smile. "Is that true? If so, I would like sister Lin to be my sister-in-law. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "of course it''s true. I''ve prepared a gift for you." After that, he took out a purse embroidered with small goldfish from the dowry on the dressing table, pulled out the ears, and took out a delicate long-life lock inlaid with red gold and suede jade, which was tied with a gold chain wearing colorful tourmaline. Leisurely, he showed it to Shen Xi. On the front of the jade, there were four words "long life and a hundred years old", while on the back, there were patterns of fish playing with lotus leaves. She asked, "sister Xi, do you like it?" Shen Xi saw that although the goldfish and lotus leaves were small, they were embroidered exquisitely. They were decorated with colorful beads, so he nodded "like it." So leisurely then personally put that long life lock on her neck. Mother Wang has been in the government for several years, and her vision has improved a lot. You can see that this is a good thing. Now she pushed Shen Xi and said, "girl, thank you so much. This is not a common thing."


    Shen Xi said thanks with a decent salute, smiling leisurely and pinching her cheek "really good."


    Then mother Wang said with a smile, "Granny, you''d better have a quick meal. After a while, it will be cold." Nod leisurely. "OK, I''ll use it now. I''d like to trouble my mother to take these two servant girls down to have some food, but they''ve been standing here all day. " Wang mother promised to go, Shen Xi to stay with leisurely, Wang mother also had to follow her heart.


    The millet porridge is so soft and delicious that he drinks it all leisurely. After eating a few snacks, Fang feels his stomach is ironed.


    Jade Tan two people went, but the Kung Fu of a cup of tea then came back. Shen Xi played here for a while. Because he got up early in the morning and had another day''s trouble in the daytime, he was very sleepy. Mother Wang took her back to bed.


    After a while, a young woman in her twenties came with a servant girl. Mother Wang left, and there were only three of them in the bridal chamber. When she saw the visitor, she didn''t know how to call him, so she got up to greet him. "I don''t know how to call him. Please forgive me for being rude." Then he accepted a blessing.


    The young woman hastily returned a ceremony and said, "we are friends of the same generation. You can only call me sister-in-law Peng."


    Leisurely stayed in the government for many years, and suddenly remembered that Shen Peng was the eldest son of the patriarch''s family. "It turned out to be Peng''s sister-in-law. I didn''t expect that she was so young. I didn''t expect that for a moment," he said with a smile


    Women don''t like to be praised by others. When they hear the leisurely compliment of their youth, Mrs. Peng smiles and says, "Oh, don''t be shy of me, younger sister and sister. Compared with you, I''m almost a yellow faced woman. Still young? "


    Leisurely smile "sister-in-law is really modest, anyone who saw will think we are the same age, then become a yellow faced woman?"


    While talking, LiuYe has already made a pot of tea and brought it up. Mrs. Peng saw that the tea set was painted in pink on a white background. The glaze is very thin, white and crystal clear, the pattern is smooth, the color is warm, and the baby on it is lifelike. At a glance, you can see that it must be the porcelain produced by the first-class official kiln.


    Then look at the shining Phoenix hairpin on Youran''s head. She also has a few Phoenix hairpins with red gold and emerald. But there are no such five colored gems inlaid with lotus seeds. Even her mother-in-law may not be able to find one. It''s not hard to find gems as big as lotus seeds, but five gems as big as lotus seeds can make five hairpins in their home. Now they use these gems for a three tailed hairpin.


    As the eldest daughter-in-law of the patriarch and the future wife of the Shen family, Granny Peng was also born in a scholarly family, so she naturally had some insight. At the moment, her heart was also filled with a touch of jealousy. Her father-in-law was very authoritative in the family when the old patriarch was there. When her father-in-law came here, the right to speak was lost. Several clansmen in my hometown are OK. The two clansmen on this side of the capital are obviously dominated by today''s Guogong. Now another Shen Ze is born. After only a few years in Beijing, he has made great achievements and become a senior official.


    Of course, this is because of Shen Ze''s outstanding ability, but without Shen Guogong''s support, Shen Ze''s military contribution would be at least half of the total? Everyone''s eyes are bright, naturally it is not difficult to see the reason. This is not true. When Shen Tian was sent out of the pavilion a few days ago, half of the Shen family members who came to watch the ceremony did not leave. It''s not too late to attend Shen Ze''s wedding. Who doesn''t know?

 Chapter 138

    In the twinkling of an eye, Granny Peng''s mind turned thousands of times, but she didn''t delay at all and talked and laughed leisurely. In this way, her exquisite mind was quite amazing.


    After a few words of conversation, they heard a loud noise in the front yard, and then a woman who followed her ran over and said, "the drill in the front yard is over, and the three wives of the family are all ready to leave."


    Hearing the speech, Mrs. Peng said to leisurely with a smile, "since the banquet is over, the elder brother will be back in a while. I won''t disturb you here. We will talk tomorrow."


    Leisurely stood up and said, "thank you for your company. Please take your time." Then he told Yutan to take granny Peng to the gate of the courtyard.


    Sure enough, not long after granny Peng left, Shen Ze came back full of wine. Then, two stout women brought hot water. Shen Ze see leisurely some cramped appearance, gently smile, say "you wash first, I go to the study to wash." Then he turned and went out.


    Leisurely, she untied her hair, took off her clothes, and went inside to have a hot bath. When her hair was in a bun this morning, Quanfu people who combed her hair used a lot of hair oil. Maybe others would like to smell the fragrance, but she really didn''t like the heavy fragrance. Especially at this time, the head oil is soaked in green oil with flowers, which inevitably has a greasy smell. You can wash the osmanthus oil on your head carefully. After washing the shoulder length hair, I used a column of incense, and the water in the bucket was a little cold. Leisurely didn''t want to let people pick up the water again, so I washed my body. Fortunately, I just took a bath yesterday. It''s not hot and I don''t sweat much. I''m not very dirty.


    After washing, because of the newlyweds, jade Tan specially took a bright red soft silk bedroom clothes to help leisurely change. Take a big towel to help leisurely wipe the hair half dry.


    Take a leisurely look at the big clock in the room. It''s almost ten o''clock in the evening. In this age of sunrise and sunset, it''s already very late. So leisurely then said to the jade sandalwood and willow leaves, "it''s getting late. Go to sleep, too. You''ve been working hard these two days. Plus Gan song and Luo, each of you will get a red purse. You can write it down yourself Earlier, when preparing for the gift, leisurely specially asked them to distinguish their purses by color. The scarlet purse is a leisurely gift for relatives and children. It contains two exquisite gold ingots, each weighing about two yuan.


    This reward can not be described as not heavy, two people salute thanks, leisurely just left.


    Feel your hair leisurely. There is no hair dryer in this era. I don''t know when I can do it. He sighed and saw that Shen Ze didn''t come back, so he took a book from the bookshelf and read it. Today''s bookshelves are just like Tao Te Ching. Although leisurely is not very interested in this book, but at this time it is a little boring, so he reaches for it and turns it over. It''s like reviewing lessons.


    After a while, Shen Ze came back from his bath and changed his clothes, and saw a picture of beauty reading at night.


    Leisurely see Shen Ze back, think of what is going to happen, the heart is still calm. After all, although she had never been married in her previous life, she had experienced everything she should have experienced. But when it''s time to be reserved, it''s time to be reserved.


    Shen Ze saw that her hair was still a little wet and said thoughtfully, "it''s not too late. Let''s sit and talk." I sat down leisurely, but at the beginning, I was still a little speechless. Later, I didn''t know who started, so I chatted like that.


    Shen Ze talked about some of his experiences at the border, including both critical moments and anecdotes. He looked at him with big eyes and inserted a few words from time to time. I don''t think what''s the matter. The clock turns again.


    At this time, the sky on the moon is as cool as water. Shen Ze gets up and goes to the window to look at the moon outside the glass window. He says, "although the moon tonight is not as round as mid autumn, it is the most beautiful moon in my heart." Ouch, Hello, is that you''ve been teased again?


    Then the curtains of the inner room were put down to cover the beautiful spring.


    The next morning, although the couple went to bed late the night before, they got up early. There are still many things to do today.


    Shen Ze asked someone to bring hot water in, and they washed. Gan song came over and helped leisurely pull up the bun. Leisurely''s neck was a little sour when he was pressed by yesterday''s jewelry, so he chose a delicate Phoenix hairpin to wear on his head, a pair of small hairpins and a sideburns, and a pair of jade round bracelets on his hand.


    Leisurely, as soon as he finished drawing his eyebrows, Shen Ze came over and said with a smile, "I''m late. I wanted to follow Zhang Chang''s example. Once I came back, my wife was so quick!"


    Leisurely smile, "today is busy, don''t toss, you want to, after every day to me thrush, I don''t dislike, don''t draw two days tired."


    Shen Ze said with a smile, "I will not let my wife down for my husband." Leisurely smile, did not speak. She has always been a soft looking but extremely determined person, not a few words can coax. Besides, a man''s heart is always changeable. What will happen in the future?


    Naturally, she also envies the sentence in "Bai tou Yin" that "if you want to win a heart, you will never be separated." But didn''t Zhuo Wenjun, who wrote this poem, also encounter marriage? When Sima Xiangru asked to marry Zhuo Wenjun, he was sincere when he talked about the song "Phoenix courtship", but later, didn''t he change his mind halfway?


    Leisurely knows that she is not Zhuo Wenjun, and she can''t try to save and forgive the man who cheated like her. At this moment, she can only say, how good you are to me, I will repay you. I will try my best to be a wife, but I hope you don''t let me down.


    Just at this time, the mother-in-law sent the breakfast. Shen Ze was the only master of the Shen family before, but Shen Xi didn''t stay at home for a few days later. Therefore, the breakfast was always a small variety and a large quantity.


    Leisurely looking at the eyes of an ordinary japonica rice porridge, as well as a plate of rolls, a plate of steamed buns, and two kinds of pickles. It''s a little too simple, isn''t it? It''s not that leisurely dislikes less variety, it''s just that these meals are not very elaborate. There is no rice oil in the japonica rice porridge. It''s hard to drink a mouthful of rice core. She used to drink porridge better than this even when she was a servant girl. At least the porridge was cooked. Now this is too much to deal with, isn''t it?


    Although in the heart belly Fei, but leisurely noodles as usual, with rice soup and small pickles to eat a roll just.

 Chapter 139

    Seeing that she didn''t eat much, Shen Ze asked, "what''s the matter, isn''t it appetizing?"


    Leisurely, seeing that he had eaten well, he asked, "do you eat these things for breakfast every day?"


    Shen Ze nodded, "yes, the cook''s skill is not very good. I used to be the only one in my family, so I''m used to it. If you don''t think it''s appropriate, you can change it. You''ll be the master of this house. "


    Leisurely took a spoon to scoop up a spoonful of rice to show him, "poor craftsmanship comes second, but you see, even the simplest japonica rice porridge is not cooked, this is not a simple craftsmanship problem. It''s the first time I''ve ever met someone who dares to eat such food for my master. Don''t you think the rice grains are hard? "


    Shen Ze smiles and shakes his head. "I used to pay attention to it. Since I came back from the border, I think it''s good to have a hot meal. I don''t think there''s anything wrong with this porridge. Since you are not used to it, change the cook. Last time I wanted to change her, but several people pleaded for mercy and spared her once. I didn''t expect that she would do it again this time. " Then she called song Mo and asked her to tell the housekeeper to replace the cook. She must have delicious and exquisite food for dinner.


    Then the servants came to clean up the table. They changed their clothes and went to the front yard first. Shen Ze calls an old housekeeper and two or three housewives to visit leisurely. Leisurely smile by the gift, let jade sandalwood out of the purse to reward everyone one by one.


    Then they went to a cross courtyard in the front yard to worship Shen Ze''s parents'' memorial tablet, and then they took a carriage to the government.


    In the kitchen, there was a lot of wailing at this time. The granddaughter-in-law, the former cook, was sitting on the ground and refused to leave. Everyone tried both hard and soft, but she just didn''t listen. When the steward couldn''t do anything about it, the housekeeper came over. He saw the granddaughter-in-law on the ground and said, "I''ll give you a quarter of an hour. You can pack up quickly and get out of the house for me. If not, when the master comes back to deal with it in person, he will not just be driven out. Did you forget that mother Chen in the first half of this year? "


    After hearing this, people could not help shivering. Chen''s mother was found out by Shen Ze to have stolen the girl''s jewelry and the property in the house. When she was found out, she was beaten to death, and the whole family sold it to the salt mine. That mother Chen was the dowry of her deceased wife, and my uncle didn''t even talk about it. At that time, the cook was Chen''s daughter-in-law, who was sold after the incident. Otherwise, she would not be allowed to be a cook.


    Sun''s husband died of an emergency a few years ago. Everyone in the Shen family saw that her orphan and widowed mother usually took care of her. Who knows, after a long time, she has developed her unreasonable temperament.


    The housekeeper''s willingness to let her be a rich cook was also due to the fact that her dead man had some relatives with him. It''s just that this man doesn''t have any rules. His food is just ordinary, and he keeps everyone''s food all day. Now even the master''s food has been dealt with. It''s not a suicide. No matter how pitiful my cousin was, the housekeeper would not allow such a man to stay here and ruin his reputation.


    Seeing that the housekeeper mentioned mother Chen, Mrs. sun was afraid after all. Although she was a hobo, she had something to fear. Now that the situation is over, I have to get up from the ground and go back to my home. Fortunately, these days, taking advantage of the wedding banquet in the house, she has made a lot of money from it, and now she can marry her son a daughter-in-law with a logo.


    But before she finished her spring and autumn dream, she was kicked open. The seafood, charcoal, and superior Yutian Rouge rice that she used to walk from the kitchen these days were searched clean.


    Sun''s mother-in-law wanted to make a scene, but her mouth was blocked and her arms were tied up. Two big men pressed her to death. Sun''s mother-in-law saw that although these people did not wear military uniforms, they were obviously from the army, and they must have seen blood. Otherwise, there would not be such a cold look, looking at yourself like looking at the dead. Sun shuddered, and when she saw her son, who was also tied up in various ways, she did not dare to struggle any more.


    When all the things in the room were searched, the housekeeper walked in and looked at her and said, "I''ve told you many times to take it easy, but you are so bold that you dare to go to your own house. How can you forget what our uncle is doing now? How long has mother Chen been gone? Why don''t you have any memory? I have pleaded with you for a long time in front of you. In the face of your dead man and father-in-law, I promise to give you a way to live. He is still short of a cook and a handyman in Chuang Tzu on the other side of Tongzhou. Would you like to go there? " Hearing that she still had a chance of life, Mrs. sun quickly nodded. So under the gaze of this group of people, sun''s mother-in-law and son hastily cleaned up their own personal delicacy, followed the Tongzhou administrators who came to Hezhi all night.


    When they arrived at the government, they saw a room full of people in the reception hall. Because they are all close relatives, there is no distinction between men and women.


    Fortunately, all the people in the government are familiar with you, and some of the people who live next to you also know you. It''s just that time is different. It used to be different from these people, but now they are equal. Even, because of Shen Ze''s official position, leisurely is higher than these people. It''s really "one moment at a time, another at a time.".


    After seeing each other one by one, leisurely, you can send your heart, either a pair of shoes, a pair of forehead or a pair of purse, depending on the distance between the other party and your family. Everyone also gave a gift, because of Shen Ze''s face, this gift will not be too bad.


    At noon, I had a meal in the government. Because some of the people were leaving for their hometown early the next morning, they were practicing for them.


    These days, we are all tired. So after dinner, it''s early.


    When they got home, they met a friend of Shen Ze who came to visit them. Leisurely, they went back to the yard. Just take advantage of this time to manage your dowry.


    Now there are only three of them in this family. The main room of the couple is naturally the largest yard in the family. Among them, there are five main rooms, two East and two West Wing rooms, all connected by corridors. In the south of the courtyard, there is a corner gate leading to a small courtyard, which has two flower halls and two inverted rooms.


    Leisurely sent people to clean up the West Wing room and use it as a warehouse. They also asked people to clean up the flower hall across the courtyard and find out the bed from their own dowry box to lay it.


    Duobao Pavilion and bookshelves are still empty at this time, so we have to take out some exquisite things from the box to put them on. Just leisurely so many books can''t be brought back until tomorrow.


    Pick out the daily things and put them away one by one. Take out the clothes and hang them in the cabinet. Put the rest of the silk and satin materials that can''t be used for the time being in the box and store them properly.


    After a while, Shen Xi came over and said, "sister-in-law, where did you go in the morning, and you didn''t take me."

 Chapter 140

    Leisurely pinched her little nose and said with a smile, "you didn''t get up when I left in the morning. Now you blame me." Originally, leisurely husband and wife were going to take Shen Xi to the government. Maybe because of too much activity in the past two days, Shen Xi had been sleeping all the time this morning. So when leisurely go, see her sleep is sweet, did not call her.


    Shen Xi is already half a girl, and knows that sleeping in is a bad habit, so he blushes and says, "I don''t want to sleep either, but I can''t open my eyes all the time." Hearing such a childish explanation, leisurely couldn''t help touching her head and laughing, "my sister-in-law and brother are going to my mother''s house tomorrow. Will you go or not?"


    Shen Xi tilted his head and asked, "is sister-in-law''s home far away? There''s no fun? "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s not far at all. It''s in Tonghua Lane nearby. I used to spend a lot of flowers there. Do you want to have a look?"


    Shen Xi nodded, "sister-in-law, the jasmine you sent me last time is blooming just right now. It''s fragrant in the room."


    My sister-in-law and I talked for a long time, while leisurely guiding Shen Xi to practice calligraphy for a while. Shen Xi began to practice calligraphy only last year. Although it''s not long, he has already written a lot. It''s just that I''m young and I don''t have much strength.


    When Shen Ze saw off his friend and went back to the yard, he saw such a picture of his sister-in-law getting along well. He could not help adding himself and a few little carrots to the picture. Now he is a relative. If he had a few more children, it would be the best time for the family to be together happily.


    Of course, the dinner was eaten by three people. The kitchen brought four dishes, one soup, one porridge and one meal this time. It seems that it is much more delicate than the one in the morning. Leisurely first picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and put it in Shen Xi''s bowl. "If you eat more fish, you will become smart."


    Shen Xi opened his eyes and asked, "is this true, sister-in-law? Sister Xiang says that I am stupid all day long. Then I eat fish every day. Will I be smarter than her soon? "


    Leisurely pause, nodded, "of course, do not believe you can try ah." I''m kidding. If you don''t eat fish, as you grow up day by day, are you still as ignorant as a child?


    After dinner, mother Wang coaxes Shen Xi out. Shen Ze waves the servant girls to go out, and then takes a black box from Duobao Pavilion and hands it to leisurely.


    When I opened it leisurely, I saw a bunch of keys, some scattered gold and silver, and a dozen bills. Take a leisurely look at Shen Ze. Shen Ze said, "these are most of our family''s belongings now. I also left a small amount of pocket money for myself. In the future, you will be the master of our family. In other words, ma''am, it''s up to you to eat for my husband in the future. "


    There were more than three thousand taels of silver and one thousand taels of gold in those bills. In addition, there were the deeds of the old house and the house, as well as the original deeds of Chuang Tzu and the shops in Shen Ze.


    Leisurely did not expect that Shen Ze''s family is still very solid, but people who come from the 21st century do not like to put a lot of money in the bank. In particular, at this time, there was no interest on the banknotes, and there was a large handling charge when they were exchanged for silver, which was more than ten times as black as the banks of previous generations.


    So she thought for a moment and said, "the thousand taels of gold you gave me has not been moved. According to the current land price, the silver can buy a large piece of land. It''s better to take out some of our family''s money and look at it or buy some fields or two shops than to work here, don''t you think? "


    Shen Ze nodded and said, "since I''ve given it to you, I can trust you. Just let it go."


    Leisurely smile, "what you said is light, in case of compensation at that time, you can''t scold me to death."


    Shen Ze said with a smile, "how can I? It''s just something outside my body. Can I scold my wife for this idea? You look down on your husband too much. If you want to do anything, just do it, you will lose everything. If it''s a big deal, just think about it for your husband. "

 Chapter 141

    They were originally prepared to leave for a while, but Han insisted that they stay at home for dinner, so they had to stay here.


    It''s OK to chat with Meng. He can talk about housekeepers, directors, headgear, music, chess, calligraphy and painting for a long time. Han Jin is not at home, Shen Ze himself in the front yard is a bit boring. Fortunately, Han Jin came home from school early in the afternoon, and Shen Ze had a voice.


    When Han Shangshu came back in the evening, he was very happy to see the two of them live in harmony. "Now that you''re married, it''s easy to live. I know you two are not reckless. Our children don''t cause trouble, but they are not afraid of it. If you have any grievances, just tell me, I will make the decision for you. " This is mainly said to Shen Ze. I''m afraid that someone will trip him up when he takes office. Both of them personally and solemnly thank you for not mentioning it.


    After returning from the Han family, Shen Ze stayed at home for a few days and went to the capital camp. The capital camp is located in the southern suburb of the capital. It''s not far or near. The rule here is to take five days off, that is, you can take one day off after working for five days. There are five days off every month, and you are not allowed to leave the barracks without permission.


    Leisurely helps Shen Ze to tidy up his luggage, and instructs the two boys who follow him to send him home outside the gate.


    After seeing off her husband, leisurely at home is just a matter of taking care of family affairs, teaching Shen Xi, occasionally doing some needlework, but I feel a little cleaner than when I was in my mother''s home.


    It''s not until this day that leisurely receives the post sent by Fang Xinsu that she changes her home clothes and dresses up again. She takes Shen Xi to the government.


    Han went out to the banquet, and the servant girl led her sister-in-law to the back of the house. Fang Xinsu is most impatient with the red tape. Besides, they are now serious aunts and sisters, so they don''t pay so much attention to it. Instead, Shen Xi asked Fang Xinsu for an "Hello, sister Fang. Xi''er hasn''t seen her for a long time, but she''s thinking hard. Does she think about Xi''er?"


    Fang Xinsu smiles and scrapes her small nose. "How can you not let people miss you, you little girl with ancient spirit?" Then he said to leisurely, "when I didn''t get married before, I wanted to come here every day. Now I''m a member of this family. I''m so shy. If I don''t post, when will you come over? "


    Leisurely quickly said with a smile, "it''s not that I don''t want to come. It''s just that I just got married, and your big cousin went to the military camp again. I have to be busy with managing director and teaching Xi''er every day. These two days, I found an idea. I thought I would come in the future. Who thought you would give me a post." Then he took out a white Rhododendron purse which he had made these two days and gave it to her, which made her smile.


    This purse is made of red satin. It is painted with white, moon white, snow-green and other very light colors. It is embroidered with white petals, and green silk thread is used to embroider the branches and leaves. It looks more fresh and refined on the basis of bright red.


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "it seems that these days I''m busy getting married and I haven''t left my sewing work behind. It''s hard for you."


    Leisurely smell speech a smile "say, I haven''t face-to-face thanks you that day send fill make-up gift.". My mother was startled. I never thought you could give me so much more. "


    Fang Xinsu doesn''t care about waving his hand. "It''s just something out of his body. What''s the point? Besides, what''s this idea compared to your maintenance? If you are polite, you will be blind to our friendship. "


    Leisurely smile way "I naturally won''t be polite with you, otherwise also won''t be so straightforward.". You see, this set of jadeite jewelry I''m wearing today is the one you gave me? "


    Fang Xinsu looked over, and saw leisurely head with a blue pattern jade heart and a pair of jade carved orchid bead hairpin, hair with a gold set jade pressure temples, hand is a pair of watery jade bracelets. Fang Xinsu looked at it for a long time and said with a smile, "I think this kind of jadeite jewelry can bring out that flavor. Sure enough, my eyes are right." Since Shen Tian came out of the cabinet, she and Shen Ying are not so congenial. Except for one Shen Xiang who can occasionally say a few words, she can''t help feeling lonely like snow most of the time. In leisurely''s opinion, Fang Xinsu sometimes seems like a child with a bad temper. Just smooth it along the hair.


    Shen Xi plays here for a while and wants to play with Shen Xiang. But Shen Xiang is still studying at this time, so Shen Xi wants to play with brother Hong again. Shen Hong is more than four years old this year. She is very energetic and doesn''t cry at leisure. She especially likes to play with beautiful girls. Shen Xi calls other people "brother" and "sister" most of the time at home. It''s not easy for her to have a person who asks her to call him brother, so she also likes to play with Shen Hong.


    There''s nothing wrong. Han is not at home. Fang Xinsu originally planned to visit his cousin. Don''t let people neglect him any more.


    When they went to Yuehua courtyard, Shen Hong was playing hide and seek with the little girl in the courtyard. See a few of them come, also have the rule to come forward to see. At leisurely soft glutinous called "sister-in-law.". The child has red lips, white teeth, thick eyebrows and big eyes. At first glance, he is a very smart boy.


    Leisurely also likes him very much, takes out a lifelike tiger puppet which sews from the servant girl hand to play for him. But Fang Xinsu looked around and said, "Why are you the only ones around? What about nanny and Bai Wei? "


    A little servant girl replied, "sister Bai Wei was a little uncomfortable the day before yesterday. Her wife asked her to go home to take care of her illness. Mother Zhou was here just now. " With that, he suddenly pointed to the corridor and said, "isn''t mom Zhou there?"


    Mother Zhou is holding a tray in her hand. She seems to be flustered for a moment. She recovers in a moment. She puts the tray on the stone table in the yard with a smile and comes up to say, "Hello, two girls. Granny Ze is more beautiful now."


    Because she is also an old man in the house, she leisurely and politely replied, "Mom, I''m flattered."


    Then, seeing that Shen Hong was sweating all over, Zhou''s mother reached out and took out a handkerchief from her arms to help him wipe the sweat on his head. And eagerly asked "brother thirsty, do you want to drink some honey water?"


    Shen Hong was thirsty after playing for half a day, and he nodded. Zhou''s mother picked up the tea cup from the stone table and prepared to drink the water for Shen Hong.


    Shen Hong is impatient to use a spoon. He wants to drink the tea after making it. As a result, Fang Xinsu grabs the tea cup. "Hong''er, I think the water has been in the yard for a long time. There must be a lot of dust. How about my sister taking you inside for a drink? " Shen Hong nodded, "well, actually I don''t like to drink honey water very much. It''s sweet. It''s like a girl''s drink. I''m a little man."


    Fang Xinsu endures the handsome unceasingly "well, hong''er is a man, that man''s body is dirty now, should we go to wash and change clothes?" Shen Hong nodded, took Shen Xi''s hand and said, "sister Xi, come with me. I''ve got some new things there. I''ll show you." Seeing that his sister-in-law nodded to him, Shen Xi followed.


    Leisurely make a wink, mother Wang also followed past to serve.


    Fang Xinsu looked at Zhou''s mother coldly and hummed, "is that how you try your best to take care of your master? When is the time? What''s your intention in giving him such a cold drink? "


    Zhou''s mother also quibbled, "what does the princess mean? I don''t know."


    At this time, Qi''s mother came over and asked, "what''s the matter?" As soon as she saw Qi''s mother, Zhou''s mother was shocked. She was afraid that she would not be able to do it well until today. She turned her head and was about to bump against the pillar. She was stopped by several stout women beside Fang Xinsu.


    Fang Xinsu ordered people to block her mouth and tie her up, so that people can take good care of her. Fang turned his head and handed the tea cup to Qi''s mother. "Mom, touch it. When is it? Give hong''er this specially iced water. If it''s not sincere, who can believe it?"


    Qi''s mother felt the tea cup, and it was still very cold after staying in Fang Xinsu''s hands for a long time. The tea cup is so cold that it is filled with warm water. Drink some after sweating, it is easy to accumulate cold in the body. Children''s spleen and stomach are weak. If they come here more than once, it will leave the root of the disease. If it''s serious, it''s afraid... Qi''s mother doesn''t dare to think about it deeply. She says hatefully, "this driver has blackened the heart and liver. When we find out the truth, we can''t spare them lightly."

 Chapter 142

    When such a big event happened in the mansion, naturally, we can''t hide it from Han. Fang Xinsu didn''t care what kind of banquet his aunt was going to attend. He just sent his mother-in-law to invite Han back as soon as possible.


    Han came back soon. Seeing Shen Hong, who was playing with Shen Xi, he was relieved, and then began to take care of it. On the way, she only heard the old lady say a few words vaguely. Now that she came back, Fang Xinsu would go to longqumai and say it in detail.


    After hearing this, Han said angrily, "what''s wrong with me when I start this thing with black heart and rotten intestines? Do you want to practice my brother Hong like this? Is there any conspiracy against me? What can I do only against an innocent child? "


    As he spoke, his whole body trembled. Han was over 30 years old before he got such a legitimate son. Seeing that he was over three years old, he was also very lively and clever. It''s not too much to say that he had all his hopes. If Shen Hong had any more accidents, I''m afraid he would have killed Han.


    Leisurely and Fang Xinsu quickly come forward and help Li Qi clap on the back. Han''s attack finally calms down. She looked at them and said, "today''s event is thanks to you two. Brother Hong''s spleen and stomach are weaker. It''s usually very cold and hot. If you really drink that kind of ice water, you can''t see it for a while, and you can''t fall ill after a long time? "


    "Leisurely nod" is this, today''s matter although happened to be met by us, but that week mother has been waiting on Hong Er side, before also don''t know have done anything improper. Now I think Bai Wei''s illness is very strange. I know that her body has always been healthy. How can she get to the point where she can''t get sick? For the sake of safety, I''d better invite a doctor who is good at pediatrics to give brother Hong a good diagnosis. "


    Wen Yan Han nodded and said, "good boy, thank you for reminding me. I''ll ask them to take the post and ask the doctor to see it. Bai Wei is not good. Later, I''ll ask the housekeeper to invite a better doctor from outside to give her a pulse diagnosis. "


    After a few words, leisurely felt that it was inconvenient for him to be here, so he got up and said, "it''s getting late. I''ll go back first. If there''s anything I need to do, my aunt just send someone to tell me."


    Han nodded, "OK, I''ll keep you. Now we''re all family. Just come and play when you have time. I won''t see you off. Let sister Su see you off. "


    Leisurely two leave after all came out, Fang Xinsu sighed and said, "have you ever heard of the cousin''s side princess?" Seeing leisurely nodding, Fang Xinsu said, "my cousin has such a strong temperament. After she marries someone, she should not only restrain her temper, but also pretend to be virtuous and virtuous. Even my uncle himself has many concubines. Who knows who is responsible for today''s affairs? If I have to face these conflicts and intrigues after I get married, I would rather not marry. "


    After hearing this, he shook his head leisurely and lightly, "why did we marry and marry?" has the final say been made by our daughter''s family?


    Fang Xinsu sighed and said, "isn''t it? When will our daughter''s family be truly free? "


    Leaving the government, leisurely let the coachman drive to Bai Wei''s home. Bai Wei''s parents are in charge of some leaders in the government, so it''s easy to find her home. Bai Wei''s mother is taking care of her daughter at home. After hearing the little maid''s notice, she quickly welcomes her. After seeing leisurely, she smiles, "when the little maid said that just now, I thought I had heard something wrong. I didn''t expect that my grandmother came here in person. Now that my grandmother is all sanpinshu, she can come to our house in person. It really makes us shine."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "Mom, you''re welcome. Bai Wei and I grew up together. We''ve been in love for more than ten years. I heard that she''s not good, so I''ll come and have a look. Just don''t know if it''s convenient? "


    Bai Wei''s mother said with a smile, "what''s the inconvenience? She''s very well now, but the doctor told her to stay in bed for a few days, so I didn''t let her go out. It''s boring to be in the house. " Leisurely then quietly into Bai Wei''s room, Bai Wei''s room is said to be a boudoir, it is not exaggeration. Bai Wei just heard the two people talking in the yard. Now she''s really here. She can''t help laughing and saying, "I just heard you. You''re very busy now. How can you come to see me when you have time?"


    "As like as two peas", "you and mother song are worthy of the same mother and daughter. Why can''t I come to see you? If you don''t welcome me, I''ll leave. " Then he stood up.


    Bai Wei stretched out her hand and held her arm. "Good sister, it''s easy for you to come here. Just accompany me more." Leisurely just sat down. "I just went to the house to say hello. I heard that you were ill, so I stopped by to see you. Now that you are in good spirits, I feel relieved. It''s just that you''ve always been strong. Why do you suddenly get so sick? "


    Bai Wei frowned and said, "I don''t know. Originally, it was just a cold and a runny nose. Zhou''s mother made a bowl of sweet and sour ginger tea for me to drink. She thought it would be better to sleep one night, but she thought it would be worse the next day and she couldn''t get up directly."


    Leisurely asked, "do you mean that you once drank sweet and sour ginger tea cooked by Zhou''s mother?" Bai Wei nodded, "yes, you know, I always don''t like ginger. But that day, Zhou''s mother said that it would be better if I drank some of this. So I held my nose and drank a bowl. Who would have thought that I was even more ill."


    Just as she was talking, a voice came from the yard. After a while, Bai Wei''s mother came over and said, "madam is kind-hearted. She specially ordered someone to invite a very famous doctor to come and feel Bai Wei''s pulse. She also asked granny Ze to avoid it." Leisurely nod, followed a woman to the living room for tea. Her own servant girl came forward and put down the curtain on Bai Wei''s bed. Bai Wei only hung her wrist outside, and the red Dankou on her hand covered it with a handkerchief.


    Just after a cup of tea, I heard Bai Wei''s mother send the doctor away. Leisurely came to the yard and asked, "Mom, what did the doctor say?"


    Bai Wei''s mother replied, "the doctor said that Bai Wei''s body is very good. Just keep quiet for another two days."


    Leisurely smile "then I can rest assured." Then I went to have a few words with Bai Wei, and then I went home by car. Now that Han has sent someone over, the cause of Bai Wei has been found out. However, since Han didn''t send someone to tell their mother and daughter, she didn''t have to say much. After all, this is not a glorious thing in itself. The fewer people you know, the better.


    A few days later, when Bai Wei got well and went back to work, she heard that Zhou''s mother suddenly fell ill. Han sent another confidant, Zhu''s mother, to take care of Shen Hong. Although Bai Wei felt something strange, she had been waiting in the house for many years. Naturally, she knew the truth of being cautious, so she left the matter behind.

 Chapter 143

    Back home, leisurely busy with their own house, but gradually put this matter behind us. A few days later, I heard that the old lady in the government had a stroke. Although she was treated by a doctor, she was still stiff and could not speak. She could only lie in bed. Leisurely also went to the house to visit some, see the old lady''s side to wait on people in addition to Pearl, the rest of the big maid all changed again, then guess what mother Zhou did may be related to the old lady. But Han did not speak, leisurely also did not ask.


    After a few days, the Ministry of rites sent the leisurely Gaoming documents and clothes. The Shen family quickly put on the incense table and took it. They wrapped up a thick red envelope and sent it away. Leisurely looking at the complicated and luxurious sanpinmingfu''s clothes, I can''t help feeling that she is also sanpinshu now, and her mother''s age is too pleasant. She is only 20 years old this year, and she has got a height that many women can''t reach in their whole life. Everything is because of the four words: husband is the most important, wife is the most important. Think of that man in front of her made the oath, she had just one smile, this just a few years of time, that person has done.


    Looking out of the window leisurely, it''s late autumn. A ginkgo leaf in the yard has become golden. When a breeze blows, a small leaf will slowly blow off, forming a beautiful picture. This is the life she likes, far away from those conspiracy, intrigue, not for wealth, only wish the years quiet good, this world safe!


    Although Gao Ming''s wife has no real power, she is also well paid and equal to her husband. In other words, leisurely now has a monthly salary of 26 Liang. Of course, Shen Ze will certainly have some extra gray income, such as Bing Jing and carbon Jing. She only has this fixed income to take. But the couple''s combined salary of 52 Liang can also support the daily expenses of the whole family.


    They just had a wedding. In a short period of time, they no longer need to make clothes and jewelry. They usually eat things from Chuang Tzu. There is also a bittern shop which makes a lot of money at home. Today, the Shen family''s Luwei shop has become more and more famous. It has changed from two stores to four and opened a branch in the west side of the city. Although Youran knew that this shop made money before, he didn''t expect to make so much money. The two shops together earned three or four hundred taels a month, and more than four thousand taels a year. That''s why Shen Ze managed well.


    Leisurely has asked someone to help her pay attention to the land property and floor shop. She plans to take out 10000 liang of silver to buy a big Chuang Tzu with an area of about 2000 mu, and take out half of the family''s silver to buy a Chuang Tzu with an area of 1000 mu. They don''t have to pay taxes on the property under their two names. Every year they can earn more than one or two silver from one mu of land. Isn''t it better than putting money there? It''s just that it''s hard to find such a large area of land near the capital. It''s a problem to manage further away. Therefore, we have to wait for the meeting.


    Seeing that the weather is getting cold, I am thinking about my flowers. Although it''s very close to my mother''s home, it''s not good for me to go back to my mother''s home every day. So she took advantage of Shen Zemu to discuss with Shen Ze, and wanted to build a flower house at home.


    Shen Ze nodded happily and said, "I thought I would build it for you before you got married. I just stayed in the Northwest for a few years, but I didn''t care about it after I came back. You just watch and make it. Anyway, you are in charge of our family now. Use the money I give you, not your own house. "


    With her husband''s consent, leisurely will open up the courage to do. She had been searching for the place for a long time. It was in the garden at home. There is a place with an area of about 30-40 square meters, where some wintersweet are planted. Leisurely ordered people to transplant these plum blossoms to other places, clean them up, and find the craftsman who worked in the Lin family last time to build a new glass greenhouse here. In fact, these things are not very expensive, glass in addition to a few window materials are better, the rest are used second-class, not very transparent. Plus the wages, wooden flower pots and so on, it cost three hundred taels of silver.


    The area of the new greenhouse was nearly twice as large as the original one. When she placed the wooden frame and other things that had been fixed for a long time, she sent someone to carefully move the flowers left in her mother''s greenhouse. It''s not that I''m carefree and mean, and I''m reluctant to leave the flowers to my mother''s family. In fact, these flowers are very delicate. If they don''t know what to do, they will only wither and decay. It''s better for her to take care of it and send some pots to her mother''s home every month.


    Leisurely has her own way. The flowers she planted by herself have been cultivated elsewhere, and the ones she can support are already experts, but few of them can be successfully transplanted by cutting. The family of high officials and dignitaries also likes to put some precious flowers, so she can earn some money by selling flowers every year. But now that I''m married, I don''t want to do these things any more. Now she is also a serious Gaoming. If it''s spread out, it''s not very nice after all. Other people think Shen Ze can''t afford to raise her. She depends on selling flowers to earn money. So she left some of her nearly 200 pots of flowers, and sent the rest to every family. In addition to the usual Narcissus, Chimonanthus and other flowers, she has just cultivated more than ten pots of Phalaenopsis this year. Although Phalaenopsis is a common flower for Spring Festival in later generations, it is rare in the capital of this era, and many people have never seen it.


    So into the lunar month, to send festival gifts, leisurely to a few close families each added two pots of good Phalaenopsis and other flowers. Shen Tian was given two pots of tender yellow Phalaenopsis and two pots of double pink Begonia.


    Today''s King Liang is not the fifth prince who was not very popular in the past, but the real power prince on duty in the Ministry of war. Naturally, the officials below dare not neglect him. Before the twelfth lunar month, there is an endless stream of people coming to the palace to give gifts.


    In fact, some of the official posts and things can''t go to Liang Wang and Shen Tian, but Shen Ze is not low in official position, and is also the mother''s brother of the princess. So the steward didn''t dare to delay, when he sent the post to Shen Tian.


    As soon as Shen Tian saw the post, she knew that it was leisurely writing. She didn''t look at it carefully. She asked, "let people carry things in and I''ll have a look, and then let the messenger come to reply."


    Because it is to send things to the palace, leisurely then sent jade Tan to come over. Yutan used to be familiar with Shen Tian when he was waiting on Meng, so he was not constrained to smile after coming in. Shen Tian also said with a smile, "I thought about the flowers planted by my sister-in-law a few days ago. I thought I would not have my share when I got married. I was just thinking about whether I should go to the door and ask for two pots in person, and you came. What flower is it this time? What new pattern has your master planted? "

 Chapter 144

    Yutan said with a smile, "our grandmother has always been thinking about the princess. She just thought that the palace must be very busy under the new year''s festival, so she didn''t come to greet her. Just this year just raised a new pattern of Phalaenopsis, let me send two pots to the empress. In addition, there are two pots of double petal crabapple that Niang Niang always likes With that, he carefully took down the cover on the flowerpot, revealing four pots of fresh flowers in the facade.


    It''s just the Begonia. The leisurely Fu Shen Tian can get several pots every year. This Phalaenopsis is really rare. Shen Tian said with a smile, "it''s your grandmother''s flowers that have aura. Next year, our royal family has collected many flowers, but none of them have aura. How much is it? "


    Yutan replied, "this flower was raised by grandma from the year before last. This year, it''s only ten or so pots, and all of them have been given away. There are only two pots of white petals left at home. They are still in the flower house because they are not suitable for the new year


    As soon as she heard that it was white, Shen Tian stopped thinking. She said with a smile, "it''s very difficult for you to go there on a cold day. Go back to thank her for me and let your grandmother just come to play when she''s free. How can you become more and more shy after getting married?" Then she was given a first-class red envelope, and sent someone to take some good supplements, satins and other things for her to take back.


    When Yutan left, Shen Tian told Qinghe, "Granny Ze must have sent a new year''s gift to the Shen family. Go back to the government in person. If there is any Phalaenopsis, please help me ask my mother for two pots. I''ll send them to the palace." Qinghe agreed to go.


    When she arrived at the government, Han happened to be there boasting about the pots of Phalaenopsis. Seeing that Qinghe came in a hurry, he thought something had happened to his daughter. After listening to Qinghe''s intention, Han said with a smile, "what do I think it is? Isn''t it just two pots of flowers? Zege''s daughter-in-law sent a total of six pots, two of which were named for the princess. There are two pots that I was going to send to the old lady. Since the empress wants to use them, I''ll give them all to her. What can''t I put here? Let''s choose two bright peonies and send them to Ning Hui Yuan. "


    Shen Tian looked at the four pots of Phalaenopsis brought back by Qinghe and said with a smile, "my mother still loves me." Then he ordered people to take down the cover of the flowerpot carefully and put it in the side hall for a good breath, preparing to send it to the palace the next morning.


    In the evening, when the king of Liang came back, he went straight to Shen Tian''s inner room, but he didn''t see the pots of Phalaenopsis in the side hall.


    But the next morning, as soon as the couple got up to clean up, they heard the maid reply that Princess Feng came to say hello. Shen Tian snorted coldly in her stomach, but said with a smile on her face, "this is Feng''s concubine. I told her to come here on the 15th day of the first day of junior high school. I don''t see her so attentive on weekdays. I''m afraid she''s not here to greet me. She wants to see the Lord more. "


    Shen Tian seldom looks like a little woman with such a sour tone. The king of Liang is a little proud when he sees her, but he still says, "she''s a side room, not to mention please. It''s right to serve you every day. You don''t have to be used to her."


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "my Lord, this is wrong. She is a side concubine. The most important thing is to serve my lord well. As for me, are so many servant girls vegetarian? " While she was talking, the maid had already combed her hair.


    She didn''t rush to put it on. She waved her hand and said, "go and pass the breakfast." Then they asked Feng to come in.


    Today, Feng wore a long, lake blue jacket and a white, flowered and pleated skirt, which is more elegant than Shen Tian. When she came in, she was very polite and asked Ann to stand aside.


    The servant girls who were waiting for their husband and wife to clean up retreated from the side hall in turn, and brought the fragrance of flowers from the side hall between the actions of opening the door.


    The nose of the king of Chu said, "where can I get the fragrance of flowers? It''s very elegant." Without waiting for Shen Tian to speak, Feng said, "it turns out that the prince hasn''t seen it before. There are many flowers in the lady''s side hall, which are like I haven''t seen before. They are all budding and fragrant. It''s very rare. Just now, I watched for a long time. I didn''t expect that I had never seen the flower even the king? " What does that mean? It''s too obvious that the eye medicine is effective. Green Qi is an acute son, listen to this is very for own master son not angry, will come forward to confront, by green grass to secretly pull.


    Shen Tian didn''t even look at Feng''s concubine. Instead, she steadily handed the warm water from the servant girl to the king of Liang, and said with a smile, "it''s nothing, but a sister-in-law of my mother''s family raised several pots of fresh orchids, and someone sent me two pots. I see this flower is really gratifying, thinking that maybe it can please my mother, so I''m going to send it to the palace. However, it''s not good. We only give it to the mother and the Empress Dowager. We don''t like it whether we like it or not. It''s just that the number of flowers is limited, and they only sent two pots to me, but there are no more at home. I still asked Qinghe to go back to her mother''s house and ask for four pots, so that I could gather six pots. This is not ready for a while to go to the emperor''s grandmother and mother after two people, by the way will take the flowers. Although there is no shortage of strange flowers and plants in the palace, it is always our filial piety. I thought it was just a little thing, but I didn''t tell the Lord


    Shen Tian''s words almost touched the heart of the king of Liang. When he didn''t get married before, as an adult prince, he had the heart to honor the Empress Dowager and the queen, but he couldn''t do it. Now that he had a princess, he thought of everything in his head. The king of Liang was very grateful. He took Shen Tian by the hand and said, "the princess is really my good wife. She is very thoughtful. I''d like to see what kind of wonderful flowers you can lick your face and go back to your mother''s home. " With that, he got up and took Shen Tian to the side hall next door.


    Feng''s original intention was to show the king of Liang how immoral Shen Tian was. She only cared about harbouring good things outside, regardless of her idea. Now there is a feeling of lifting a stone to hit her feet. Seeing the king of Liang holding Shen Tian''s hand tightly and passing in front of her, Feng''s concubine can''t help but be jealous. She is going to tear up her handkerchief.


    Seeing these pots of Phalaenopsis with different shapes, the king of Liang also praised them: "it''s really charming and colorful, different from the flowers I''ve seen before. What kind of flower is it?"


    Shen Tian replied, "it''s called Phalaenopsis. It was only found along the southwest coast. Princess Le''an came back with some seeds. It took my sister-in-law several years to raise her. She has raised more than ten pots, and now more than half of them are here. "


    Liang Wang nodded with a smile, "you are talking about general Shen''s wife and Lin''s sister, Lin Zhuangyuan?"


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "why, does the Lord know that my sister-in-law is not successful?"

 Chapter 145

    "Of course, your sister-in-law''s deeds are unique in the capital. It is said that the maidservant was highly valued when he was with his mother-in-law. Later he became Han Shangshu''s adopted daughter, and later he had a younger brother who won the first prize. You don''t know that when general Shen came back from victory, his father still wanted to marry him at the royal banquet. However, general Shen Gao Yi declined his father and said that his fiancee was the adopted daughter of Lin Shidu''s sister Han Shangshu. His father didn''t care about Lin Shidu, and he couldn''t help giving Han Shangshu face. Therefore, the matter of giving marriage to Han Shangshu ended like this. "


    Wen Yan Shen Tian frowned. She had never heard of it and didn''t know whether leisurely knew it or not. So he said with a smile, "if you don''t tell me, I don''t know about it. I don''t know for which family''s daughter my father was going to marry."


    Liang Wang shook his head and said, "I don''t know who it is. At that time, my father didn''t say it clearly. Later, maybe it was for the sake of the girl''s reputation and integrity, and even let the people present at the beginning not talk about it any more. So it''s not mentioned by anyone. Shen Shu Ren planted the green chrysanthemum that the gardeners didn''t support in the palace two years ago, so she heard about her reputation. " What he didn''t say was that if Lin Youran hadn''t had Princess Le''an and the Zhongyi Marquis''s house behind him at that time, he would have become a slave of the Marquis''s family.


    They looked at the flowers for a while, and then a servant girl put up the breakfast. Feng side imperial concubine stands on one side to serve attentively, give Liang Wang Sheng Soup for a while, help Shen Tian clip dish for a while. It''s just that the dishes for Liang Wangsheng are all his favorite dishes. For Shen Tiansheng, ha ha. When Shen Tian saw that she had served the dishes twice, he said with a smile, "you have no eyes. How can you let the concubine Feng work so hard and not come to serve her. In addition, a table was set up for Feng to have a good meal. "


    Qinghe said with a smile, "back to the princess, the maid has already let people put a table of food in the side hall, and is about to invite Feng to come."


    Feng''s side imperial concubine also wants to refuse, Shen Tian says with a smile, "let the next people do these things. Now you are also the side imperial concubine of Liang, how can you do these things all the time? You listen to me, just go to the side hall to have a good meal, otherwise, someone will be distressed. " Then he took a funny look at Liang Wang.


    Liang Wang ha ha a smile "where, can serve the princess is her blessing." He turned his head and looked at Feng''s concubine. "But since the princess sympathizes with you, you can go down first." Then he put a small dish with chopsticks into Shen Tian''s bowl and said, "it''s really lucky that the princess is so virtuous and generous." Feng side imperial concubine has no time to say again what, was surrounded by several servant girls to partial hall.


    Several pots of Phalaenopsis were sent to the palace. Because Shen Tian was very funny, the Empress Dowager and the queen were very happy. When they returned to the palace, they brought back many rewards.


    Moreover, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager both gave her several pieces of brocade of durian. Although the colors and materials were different, they obviously meant the same thing. They were looking forward to Shen Tian''s pregnancy and birth.


    Especially the prince''s eldest son because of premature birth, has always been weak and sick. But the other king of Zhou and the king of Wu have not been born. The princess of Zhou gave birth to her eldest daughter, but the princess of Wu has not heard any good news because of her discord with the king of Wu. The royal family is so thin that the Empress Dowager and the queen are anxious to get angry.


    When it comes to children, leisurely here is a surprise. Last month, leisurely day didn''t come. At that time, she had some doubts. But in December, Shen Tian is now in a high position. His colleagues, superiors, relatives and friends all have to walk around. In addition, the managers of Chuang Tzu came to check accounts with annual gifts. Leisurely every day, they were busy from morning to night and forgot about it.


    Until this morning, she got up in the morning and felt a little nauseous. At breakfast, she took two mouthfuls of frozen pork skin and couldn''t help vomiting. Now all the servant girls were scared, and they were busy asking for a doctor. Wang''s mother, who followed Shen Xi, was more experienced. Seeing leisurely like this, she went forward and asked in a low voice, "grandma didn''t come this month?"


    On hearing this, mother Wang nodded leisurely first, and then looked forward to it in her heart. Jade Tan in the end older, heard this quickly surprise said "is Grandma happy?" He was stopped leisurely before his voice fell. "Wait for the doctor to come to see him. Don''t have a happy time. I don''t have any appetite at this meeting. Take this table away first. " But her heart is also a little nervous, or mother Wang let someone take a cup of warm water to gargle her mouth, and help her to lie down in the bed, Yutan came forward to help the red bed tent down. After a while, the servant invited the doctor over. This doctor is also a famous gynecologist nearby. He is over sixty years old and will not visit at leisure. If the housekeeper didn''t take the post from the third grade official, I''m afraid he would not have invited the doctor. After the doctor''s pulse diagnosis, the news of leisurely pregnancy came true. Naturally, all the people in the room were overjoyed. Yutan took a five Liang silver red seal and two ruler heads to send the doctor away.


    Shen Xi didn''t know where he was. He suddenly asked mother Wang, "Mom, isn''t my sister-in-law sick? What does the doctor mean? Why is everyone happy? "


    Mother Wang said with a smile, "congratulations to the girl. Her sister-in-law is pregnant. Next year, the girl will have a little nephew."


    Shen Xi''s smiling eyes curved into a crescent shape: "am I going to be an aunt? It''s really great. " Then he clapped his hands.


    Leisurely this meeting also felt better. Besides, she felt embarrassed lying in bed in broad daylight, so she insisted on it. Because it was less than March, it was not easy to publicize everywhere. He only sent someone to tell Lin Mu and Meng''s Han family quietly, and sent someone to send a letter to Shen Ze, who was far away in the capital camp.


    At this time, Yu Tan took a cup of wolfberry red dates black chicken soup and said, "grandma didn''t eat a few mouthfuls just now. This soup was made by mother Wang in the kitchen. It''s said that it''s tocolysis and blood tonic. The smell of oil inside is clean. How about grandma


    You can see that the soup is yellow and bright, and there is no smell of oil on it. You can hardly see the meat in the chicken stew. There are only a few red medlar in the cup, and there are a few tender green coriander powder floating on it. It looks attractive. Leisurely take over, slowly drink half urine. There were not many things in such a cup. Seeing that she only drank these, Yutan thought of persuading her again. She was stopped by mother Wang. "Since grandma is not hungry at this meeting, it''s OK to eat later when she is hungry. If you don''t want to drink soup, just eat something dry. In a word, except for those taboos, the rest of grannies can eat whatever they want. There''s no need to force them. "

 Chapter 146

    Finish saying, and leisurely several servant girls talked about the taboo food and some precautions in pregnancy. Just as she was talking, Mrs. Lin came with her grass.


    Leisurely quickly got up to meet the door, said with a smile "mother?". Lin''s mother came in with a smile on her face, took her hand and said, "I couldn''t sit still when I heard the news. I came here immediately. Are we still so polite? You just sit in the room. Now that you have a body, you should be more careful when you move. Don''t be surprised. The doctor has seen it. Is everything ok? How long has it been? "


    "The doctor said that everything was fine. Now it has been more than two months. It''s nothing beside it, but I feel a little nauseous. "


    "That''s nothing, as long as you can eat. When I was pregnant with your sister and brother, it was easy. I didn''t think it was any trouble. But when your aunt was pregnant with your cousins, she had to vomit for several months at a time, and Yulian''s sister-in-law had to vomit until she was born. At this time, eat what you want, and don''t bend your mouth. I''ve been looking forward to this day ever since you got married. Now I''ve finally got my wish. I''ll go to baiyun temple some other day. "


    Lin Mu brought some pickled cucumbers, cowpeas and hot cabbage that she had just made last month when she was leisurely at home, as well as some fine cotton cloth and bird''s nest. She said to her daughter with a smile, "I don''t like spicy food on weekdays. When I was pregnant with your sister and brother, I liked to eat something with heavy taste. I thought you might bring some here, but it''s better to eat less pickles. These bird''s nests are also excellent. Although I dare not eat more, it''s good to stew a cup every day. " And talked a lot, in this leisurely with lunch, and watched her take a nap.


    Knowing the good news of leisurely, Han sent someone to send a number of top-grade supplements and cloth to leisurely that afternoon. Leisurely just woke up. It''s Feixu and Huaping. The three sisters haven''t talked alone for a long time. Lin''s mother avoids going out and leaves their little sisters to whisper.


    Feixu said with a smile, "my wife said that the house was really busy years ago, but I couldn''t kiss you and let you have a baby. If there is something missing, just send someone to the government to get it. I''m glad you''re lucky. It''s been a long time since I came in


    Leisurely smile "go back to thank my wife for me, I expect that this will be in a hurry. It''s just that if it''s too bad to hide it from my wife, I''ll send a message. Don''t because of my labor lady''s big drive, if not, how can I pass my mind? But since madam is busy, she should send someone else. You are madam''s right arm. How could she let you out? "


    Feixu said with a smile, "no matter how capable I am, I can''t keep on doing it all the time. Besides, now qiugui has been trained, and they can make me strong. Naturally, I''m happy to be at leisure."


    Leisurely looking at the screen, the screen turned a white eye, "what do you want me to do? You don''t know. Although I took your seat, I was also named as a big maid in the princess''s room. However, in terms of deep feelings, it is not as good as tortoiseshell, and in terms of insight, it is not as good as Xiuluo. It is only by virtue of his wife that he can barely stand in the yard. Fortunately, I''ve learned some sewing skills from you. Now I''ll do most of the sewing work for the princess. Otherwise, I''ll be a leisurely eater. "


    Although the words of Huaping are miserable, leisurely she knows that she is definitely not as miserable as she said. So she didn''t take it seriously. She just nodded her forehead with a smile. "Your mouth is like the truth."


    Even Feixu didn''t believe it. "Come on, don''t get a good deal here. I saw you training your servant girl that day. If you don''t have the support of the princess, do you have the strength? Look at what you''re wearing. Even Shen Shu can''t match you. What do you want to do? "


    The screen glanced at her and said with a smile, "you don''t know that our former sister is the most low-key one who doesn''t love luxury. When she used to be in the mansion, she had few good things? But as long as you don''t go out, when will you see her dressed up? It''s just that Huizi''s dress looks like a sanpinshu person. It''s too light today. " Leisurely pursed his mouth and said with a smile, "you''re here for a meeting. I''ve just taken a nap, and I haven''t had time to wash. That is to say, when you two come, I''ll see you in my home clothes. If you are someone else, you have to change your clothes. What''s more, in my own home, it''s mainly comfortable. Who has the patience to wear those hairpin rings all day long? But your jade hairpin today is really exquisite. "


    The screen reached out to touch the jade hairpin and said, "I helped the princess make clothes a few days ago. The princess praised me for doing well and rewarded this jade hairpin. Although it''s only made of Dongling jade, it''s better because the material is good and the craftsman''s craftsmanship is skillful. These two orchids are still interesting. "


    Leisurely nodded with a smile, "you can see that this craft is made in-house. Even I don''t have many of them. It seems that the dress you made is very popular with the princess." The screen quickly picked up a cup of tea and handed it to leisurely. "Thanks to my sister''s good guidance, I thank her with tea instead of wine." Leisurely took the tea, sipped the jujube water inside, and said with a smile, "you''re welcome."


    Although they want to stay a little longer, their masters are the busiest time, and it''s not good for them to stay outside for a long time. So after a while, they left and went back.


    It was Lin Mu who stayed here until the sun set. When she came home, Enron had already come back from the palace. When he saw his mother, he asked, "I heard that my mother went to my sister''s house in a hurry, but what happened to my sister''s house?"


    Lin''s mother said with a smile, "it''s something, but it''s a happy event. Your sister is two months pregnant


    Enron is also very happy to hear that "in this way, my sister has nothing to worry about for a while. When I''m resting, I''ll visit my sister in Haosheng. "


    But Lin Mu shook her head. "You can''t do anything even if you''re a man. It''s better to accompany me to baiyun temple to make a vow first. I made a vow there after your sister got married. Now that your sister is pregnant so soon, it''s important to make a vow first and pray for Bodhisattva to protect your sister. It''s better to get a man at one stroke. "


    Enron said, "I don''t think my brother-in-law is that pedantic person. Even if my sister has a daughter, my brother-in-law is happy."

 Chapter 147

    Lin Mu nodded, "what do you know as a boy? In our mother''s family, people say that boys and girls are our nephews, and we are all in pain. However, the Shen family is naturally looking forward to your sister''s birth of a boy. Your brother-in-law has been handed down for three generations. Without the help of other brothers, he naturally hopes that your sister will have more boys so as to spread the branches and leaves. As long as your sister can have a boy, she will have a firm foothold in that family. "


    After listening to her mother''s speech, Enron also felt that there was some truth, so he nodded and said, "well, my son knows, then I will accompany my mother to pay the vow."


    The next morning, Meng came to visit you ran with his things. In addition to tonics, there are 300 Jin of silver frost carbon and a basket of fresh oranges. She said with a smile, "I''ll say you are a blessed child. It''s not that long before you get married, you get pregnant. If only the princess were just like you. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "the princess is blessed. I heard that the king of Liang and her husband and wife are also affectionate. I think there will be good news soon."


    Meng nodded, "if that''s true, it''s a wonderful thing." Then he pointed to the basket of oranges and said, "I know you like to eat some melons and fruits. It happened that they sent several baskets of them by water. The oranges are fresh, few and sweet. And last time I came to see you, all the charcoal I prepared here was ordinary and superior charcoal. If I had made do with it before, I would have been careless now. "


    Leisurely quickly said with a smile, "thank you for your mother''s concern. It should be her daughter''s filial piety to her mother, but now she is always worried."


    Meng patted her hand and said, "since you call me ''mother'', don''t be polite to me." At the beginning, Meng''s love for leisurely was just a little bit of face, but in recent years, he always had some real feelings. In addition, leisurely I really strive for success. First of all, my brother won the first place in the exam, but now my husband is in a high position. I have to be treated differently.


    Since the confirmation of the good news, leisurely here has been protected as a rare protected animal. Needlework can''t be done, books can''t be read, scissors can''t be moved, and the affairs of Chuang Tzu''s shops everywhere have been dealt with. Leisurely also have to watch them prepare some new year''s goods, occasionally guide Shen Xi''s homework.


    Shen Ze is also very excited when he receives a letter from his family in the capital camp. He is 25 years old this year and has just had his first child. He has always been reserved and steady, and he can''t help but be overjoyed. Although I can''t wait to go back to visit my wife, there are strict rules in the barracks, and I''m going to take annual leave soon. It''s not good to ask for leave at this time. Shen Ze had no choice but to bear it. He stayed in the camp until December 21, when the camp had a holiday.


    Because of today''s holiday, I went home earlier. When Shen Ze got home, the sun was just to the West. Leisurely was holding Shen Xi''s little hand and drawing red on the stone table in the yard. Although her stomach has not yet been highlighted, Shen Ze is sure that she has seen the glory of motherhood from her.


    Leisurely, looking up, he saw Shen Ze standing at the gate of the yard. He couldn''t help standing up and said with a smile, "are you back? What are you doing standing there without making a sound? "


    Shen Ze stepped forward, took her hand and said, "why did you come to the yard? Isn''t it cold?" Leisurely smiles and shakes his head, "it''s a comfortable time to be in the sun nest. It''s better than being in the room."


    At this time, Shen Xi also ran over and knocked down Shen Ze. "Brother, you can come back. Do you know that when my sister-in-law is pregnant, I''m going to be an aunt. Brother, you''re going to be a father." This obviously pleased Shen Ze. He reached out and picked up Shen Xi. "Sister Xi will be an elder, an adult, but no more crying."


    Shen Xi wrinkled his little nose. "I didn''t cry." At this time, mother Wang came over and said, "sister Xi, didn''t you go to see the deer just now? Why don''t you come back after I go to see the deer with you? "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "go, Xi''er, it''s time to take a rest after writing for a long time. Go to the back and play for a while. Come over in the evening and let''s eat mutton pot. " So Shen Xi hopped along with mother Wang. Two people with each other into the house, jade Tan and others are back out. Shen Ze stretched out his hand and put some trembling words on leisurely abdomen. "Is there our child in it?"


    Leisurely smile nodded, "well, in more than seven months, he will be able to come out." Shen Ze stretched out his hand and took leisurely to his arms. "I finally have my own flesh and blood. Thank you, leisurely."


    Shen Ze is even more nervous than leisurely for the baby in his belly. As long as leisurely feels a little uncomfortable, he is busy. What''s more, he takes all the things at home to himself, and doesn''t let leisurely worry about half a point.


    It''s so easy to pass the first day of junior high school next to each other. Leisurely, I still think it''s so easy to go out and relax. As a result, Shen Ze took her to her mother''s home nearest to home, and refused to let her go out again. He went to all the other relatives and colleagues'' home by himself. Everyone can understand the good news of his family.


    Even Shen Xi, who was left in the government house by Fang Xinsu on the first day of the lunar new year, has never come back. The Han family also told her that Shen Xi would go to the government house to go to school after the first month of the lunar new year. Now there is only one Shen Xiang in the government house, and Shen Xi is also a companion when she goes.


    When Shen Tian heard that she was pregnant, she was somewhat envious. She married a few days earlier than leisurely, and there is no news yet. At the dinner party in the new year''s palace, many people mentioned it openly and secretly. Now that she has a short time to get married, if there is no news in another year, I''m afraid these temptations will turn into bright sarcasm. Shen Tian reached out to touch his belly and sighed. Turning around, I sent Qinghe to visit leisurely with some gifts.


    Leisurely stay at home, fortunately, there are flowers in the greenhouse for her to take care of, if not, it''s really boring. Seeing Qinghe coming, he quickly got up and went to the house in person.


    Qinghe said with a smile, "the princess is very happy to hear that you are pregnant. If you don''t have too many rules, she will come to see you in person. These two pieces of brocade with hundreds of pomegranates are still appreciated in the palace. You can keep them for your own use or give them to others. In addition, there are two pieces of tatting cloth and two pieces of fan cloth. They are all used on the cloth. It''s very good to keep them for the unborn baby


    Leisurely back to the way, "the princess is very busy, and she can still think of me. It really moves me. Although I have some Songjiang cloth here, it''s not light and soft. Go back and thank the princess for me. I haven''t seen her since I got married. How is she? "


    Green grass looked around, leisurely then ordered a way "jade Tan, you take Gan song a few to go ahead to have a look, ten thousand can''t wait for the mothers who come to the palace." Jade Tan promised to go, and know the machine with the house of small servant girls are out.

 Chapter 148

    Seeing no one else, Qinghe said, "you are not an outsider. The princess asked me to come here. In fact, I have something to ask for." Then he turned red and muttered, "the princess got married earlier than you, but now there is no news at all. If she was married to an ordinary family, she would be married to the royal family. At the beginning, the princess of Wu was not pregnant for half a year, so the empress of the virtuous imperial concubine in the palace decided to accept the side concubine for the king of Wu. Today, there are two concubines and three concubines in the Wu palace. If it wasn''t for the fact that the palace has always attached great importance to the legitimate rather than the common people, I''m afraid that the Wu palace would not have had the territory where the Wu Princess stood. Now I don''t know how many people are staring at her stomach. She doesn''t dare to pass it on easily. If you have any good prescription, please let me know. "


    After hearing this, he sighed leisurely, "how many famous doctors did my wife hire when she was in the government? There must be no problem. You go back and tell the lady that you must be relieved. I also heard an elder of my mother''s family talk about it. The more I care about it, the harder it is for me to get involved. " Then he looked at Qinghe''s red face and said, "why did the empress just send you here? You may not understand some words I said."


    Qinghe was still a unmarried girl. Although her face turned red with shame, she was still forced to endure the shame and said, "but if there is another suitable person, she won''t let me come. If you really have a way, just say it. I don''t understand it. Just write it down and repeat it to your mother? "


    So leisurely will she called to the side, attached to her ear said a few words.


    After returning to the palace, Qinghe quietly tells Shen Tian leisurely words. Shen Tian frowns and says, "is that really what she said? How could this be different from what the mammy in the Palace said? "


    Qinghe said, "I think granny Zeda''s words are much more reliable than those in the palace. Not to mention since childhood love in that, now Ze granny is also your mother''s sister-in-law, naturally is only looking forward to you. And the way of the mammy in the palace is much more complicated. Madam, you don''t have the support of your mother-in-law, so it''s not necessary that there''s something fishy in it? "


    Shen Tian nodded, "you''re right. I used to listen to them. Doesn''t it work? Just try it if you like. Send someone to the front yard to keep an eye on him. When the Lord returns to his house, he will say that I have something important to discuss with him and ask him to come over. " Qinghe agreed to go.


    I don''t know if it''s leisurely words or Shen Tian''s fortune. At the beginning of March, Shen Tian found out that she was nearly two months pregnant. For a time, several big heads in the palace were very happy, and all kinds of rewards flowed into Shen Tian''s private Treasury. Even Shen''s family was very surprised. Han went to Liang''s mansion every two days. Because Liang''s mansion is Shen Tian''s, no one would have any objection. Naturally, there are some villains who want to do mischief. They are all solved by Shen Tian and her cronies one by one. By the end of April, Shen Tian''s fetus has been full for four months, and she finally sits on it.


    Now, leisurely has been pregnant for seven months, and her figure is a little bloated. Although she had no childbearing experience in her previous life, she personally participated in the process of several good sisters from pregnancy to childbirth, so she knew a lot about parenting. She doesn''t take tonic blindly. She mainly eats fresh vegetables on weekdays to ensure balanced nutrition. She has been keeping a moderate amount of activity every day since three months, so there is no big surprise in her stomach. This child is also clever, and not how toss leisurely, in addition to just pregnant that will be some vomiting, has been safe.


    It was Shen Tian who had vomited all day since three months later. At the most serious time, she even vomited after drinking water. Later, the doctor diagnosed twins, which made the Shen family both happy and worried. Happily, whether male or female, twins are very rare in the royal family, as long as the safe production, Shen Tian even has a foothold. The worry is that twins are more difficult to produce. In this age, women have children outside the gate of hell. How can it not be more worrying if they are still pregnant with twins?


    Leisurely at this time with a big stomach is not good to visit the palace, just went to the government several times, Haosheng comforted the Han several times. Han has always been forced to smile in front of her daughter. Originally, she could complain to leisurely when she was suffering, but now she doesn''t say much when she sees leisurely''s big belly. Fortunately, there is a wife to talk to.


    That day, Meng came to see Han again. Seeing that his younger sister was still so sad, he couldn''t help but spit, "OK, you should put away this dejected look. Now it''s like this. Not to mention that the mother is worried, but the outsider thinks how bad the mother is? Isn''t the princess still fine now? Taiyi also said that everything is normal? What''s the matter with you at that time? If you are really worried about your mother, you should make more preparations. If a woman gives birth unexpectedly, it''s nothing more than improper fetal position and massive bleeding. If you have the Kung Fu to worry about here, you''d better find some good midwives to prepare, and then prepare more useful herbs. When the time comes, the palace will be in a hurry. Do you expect that Princess Feng to take good care of her? " After listening to his sister-in-law''s words, Han was excited. "What my sister-in-law said is that there is still a hundred year old ginseng in the house. I''ll go and have it sliced."


    Seeing that she was advised, Meng relieved her face and said, "OK, you''re content. Anyway, you''re going to be a grandparent. I''m a sister-in-law. Now I don''t even see a daughter-in-law. Now I don''t know what''s wrong. There is no suitable one among the girls of the right age. "


    Han said, "Jin Ge''er is only 19 years old this year. Isn''t she in such a hurry?" Meng shook the fan in his hand and said, "if I had, I would not have been in a hurry. It''s just that I went to the palace to greet the empress. Niang Niang means that when the Empress Dowager''s birthday comes, Princess Lezhen is afraid to come back from the temple. Princess Lezhen is 20 years old this year. As long as she comes back, the palace will choose her son-in-law as soon as possible. Jin Ge''er is quite old, and our family background is not bad. If Princess Wei and the king of Chu have any idea, won''t our family be put on the fire? So anyway, I also want to give jin''er''s marriage before the Empress Dowager''s birthday. Even for an''ge''er, I give you a wake-up call and ask her and Lin Yiren to talk about the marriage for An''an as soon as possible. "

 Chapter 149

    At this time, leisurely and Lin Mu are also talking about it. Lin''s mother said, "I always think your brother is young. Besides, you just became a bride last year. I want to save more money and give your brother more betrothal gifts. Now let Mrs. Han say so, it is to have to grasp some. Although the Royal Princess is sure to despise us as a small family, it''s a matter of fact that she''s determined to come and feel more secure. "


    Leisurely sipped the jujube soup and said, "since our family doesn''t have the idea of climbing the dragon and supporting the Phoenix, we decided to marry my brother earlier, which will save the misunderstanding of others. What''s in my mother''s mind? "


    Lin Mu shook her head. "It''s going to be for a while. There''s no suitable one. There are a lot of people in our neighborhood who come to your brother''s home to say goodbye. Most of them are college students or girls from scholarly families, just those girls. How can we say that. I saw a few of these girls. They may be influenced by their families. They speak in a gentle way. Although they smile on their faces, they look down on people in their eyes. I think that maybe I dislike the shallow foundation of our family. I feel that I have a strong rustic spirit and feel aggrieved by our family. I''m married to my daughter-in-law, not to my ancestors. Will I be angry with my daughter-in-law in the future? "


    Leisurely, after listening to this, she felt something was wrong. Her mother didn''t like to talk about the length of people behind her back. Now there must be a reason for this complaint. "What''s the matter?" he asked, "is it difficult to be angry with my mother?"


    Lin''s mother waved her hand. "Don''t mention it. Yesterday, Xu An Ren, Xu Hanlin''s wife, asked me to come and talk. It happened that her mother''s sister-in-law and niece were also there. When I saw that Xu An Ren''s niece was about the same age as your brother, Xu An Ren seemed to be trying to make up for it, so he asked the girl a few words. Who knows that girl likes to build the indifference, an eye is higher than the top appearance. Xu Anren always praises her niece as a talented girl who is quite good at writing and painting, but the girl''s family doesn''t take the imperial examination, so no matter how good her literary talent is, what can she be? Who can make a living by reciting poems and writing Fu? No matter how talented the girl is, I can''t look up to her arrogance. Ah, I''m blind with an agate ring. "


    Listen to this leisurely "poof Chi" a smile "OK, mother, our family now does not lack those rings, it is to feed the dog. My mother said that she is so proud of the girl. Does she have a good family background? "


    But Lin''s mother shook her head. "If it''s true, it''s just a lot of money. Her father is just a tip of eight pencils. The biggest official in her family was wailang''s grandfather, who worked in the Ministry of rites. Your brother is more than five. I don''t know what she can be proud of? I wanted to find a girl who can read words for your brother. In the future, both husband and wife can speak well. Now it seems that I am wrong. Even looking at a few girls from other families who are studying, they are not very agreeable. "


    "My mother was right. If Enron had been able to marry a girl in the past, she would have burned Gao Xiang. Now I feel that the girls in a scholarly family don''t match very well. The status of a girl in a scholarly family is noble enough, but most of them, as their mother said, are influenced by the family tradition and are somewhat petty. It''s true that the heart and bearing of a girl may not be better than those of the noble family. Take the princess as an example. She was the eldest daughter of the government before she came out of the cabinet. How noble her status is. But when did her mother see her face to face? "


    Lin''s mother nodded and said, "it''s true. Last time my mother came to our house, so many rural relatives were there, and I didn''t see the princess show her dislike."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "this is enough to show the cultivation and vision of the princess. If you really want to be a girl in such a scholarly family, you don''t need to worry about her horizon. It''s just that we don''t have to think about the girls with the same identity. The identity is too poor. But my mother doesn''t have to belittle herself, not to mention that my younger brother is the number one criminal record, and now he is a cabinet minister and a close Minister of the emperor. There are also famous teachers like Han Di Shi and my adoptive father''s face. As long as he can be safe, there will be no problem in three or five years. If his fortune is better, he will not be able to be a senior member of grade three after ten years. Therefore, regardless of his younger brother''s family background, his wife should be broad-minded and open-minded. She should also be able to be a housekeeper. "


    Lin''s mother stopped her before she lost her voice. Lin''s mother said with a smile, "according to your condition, it''s better to be a imperial concubine. What is our family background? Where can I find such a daughter-in-law? Your eldest sister-in-law is too demanding. " When her mother said that, leisurely also felt that her conditions were a little harsh, so she couldn''t help laughing, "I''ll just say that. In fact, as long as girls have good character, nothing else counts."


    The two of them chatted again, and leisurely went home by car. When he was about to get home, he was stopped. The coachman told him outside, "there is a broken carriage in front of us, blocking the way."


    Nodding leisurely, it turned out that there was an accident. She looked through the gap between the curtains on the carriage. She saw that the shaft of a carriage was scattered in two at the street corner where she was turning. Several family members were preparing to drag the carriage to one side to let the street out. In the shade of a tree, there were several servant girls and servants surrounded by a young lady, who was wearing a hat. Next to the two maids and support the paper umbrella, is to block the body of the strict, leisurely sitting in the car, also can only vaguely look at each other''s hat. This situation has obviously attracted the attention of some passers-by, leisurely see a few ruffian like people in the distance looking at this side. I immediately thought that the girl was going to suffer. Now that she met her, leisurely he told the driver, "you guys, step forward and help yourself, move the car aside first, and don''t get in the way."


    The coachman should come down and ask two boys to help. After a while, he moved the carriage to one side. At this time, a woman over there saluted and said, "thank you for your help. My young lady is the granddaughter of old lady Feng in the Marquis''s mansion of Jinxiang. Who is your family? "


    The woman who followed the car outside said, "we are the house of general Shen Shen in the capital camp, and the lady in the carriage is our family." It''s said that leisurely is a famous person in the capital, but as a slave, she suddenly becomes a serious sanpinshu person, and everyone says that she is very skillful.


    The old lady also heard the name of leisurely. She saluted outside the car and said, "I thank Mrs. Shen for her help."

 Chapter 150

    Leisurely see that the woman dressed well, a look will know is the master around to use. Then he lifted the car curtain and said, "Mom, you''re welcome. You''re a stranger. It''s not good to stand by when you encounter such a situation. What''s more, I''ve been lucky enough to meet Mr. Feng several times in the past, and it''s not easy to ignore him. I''m afraid your carriage will not be repaired for a while. Do you have any plans? "


    The old lady said with a smile, "I''ve already sent people back to the mansion to report. If I want to come to Huizi mansion, I''ll send a carriage." Although the old lady said so, she complained in her heart that the young lady of her family was just relying on others. The eldest lady in charge of the family never came to see her. I''m afraid that the carriage would not be able to come for a while. But it''s not easy to talk about it to outsiders.


    Leisurely, although the mother''s clothes are not very gorgeous, her head is just a gold hairpin, but her hair is carefully combed and her speech is quite appropriate. I couldn''t help wondering what the master looked like, so I said with a smile, "I know the location of the Marquis''s residence in Jinxiang. It takes most of the time to go back and forth. I can''t let your lady wait so long on the street. Well, my humble home is not far from here. It''s only a few hundred meters. If you don''t like it, please move to my humble abode and have a rest. It''s not too late to plan when your carriage comes. "


    The old lady was overjoyed, and they were just servants. It was not good for the young lady to show herself in the busy street. So he gave a gift of thanks and said, "I thank my wife for my miss." Then he went to the shade over there, and leisurely let jade sandalwood come and invite him.


    After a while, a group of servant girls came around the girl. The girl came to the car and received a blessing. "Thank you for your help." Leisurely lift the car curtain, "girl, don''t be polite. There are many people outside. You''d better get on the car first." Yutan personally helped the girl into the carriage. Seeing that she was seated, he told the driver to open the way.


    After the girl got on the carriage, she said with a smile, "thank you, madam. If not, shu''er would be embarrassed for a long time."


    Leisurely smiles and shakes his head, "don''t be so polite. It''s fate to meet each other. I heard you call yourself shu''er just now, but what''s your name? "


    The girl nodded, "yes, my name is Zhuang, and my single name is Shu."


    Hearing the words, he said with a leisurely smile, "the appearance is rich, with Zhuang Shu Xi, and the bud is warm and moist." It''s dignified and beautiful. It''s just like a person. " Leisurely, you can see that Miss Zhuang is wearing a plain dress, with a lake blue slant skirt and a white pleated skirt. On her head, she only wears a pair of white jade hairpins inlaid with emerald tourmaline, which is more beautiful. Moreover, the courtesy is complete and generous, which can''t help giving birth to a kind of favor.


    Zhuang Shu blushed with a smile, "madam, I think my husband is pure and beautiful, elegant. If it''s not a close look, I can''t see that my wife is pregnant. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s been seven months. I feel clumsy in my actions." As he spoke, the carriage was in front of Shen''s house.


    They got out of the carriage and settled down in the front hall. The servant brought tea and they had a conversation with each other. During the conversation, leisurely learned that the girl Zhuang''s father passed away a few years ago. After her mother took care of her father''s affairs, she took her to the capital to go to her grandparents'' home. Who would like to come to the capital soon, her mother can not afford to go so. She did not have the support of her own sisters, but only two brothers, who stayed in her father''s hometown and were raised by the clansmen. A few days ago, her mother died, so she went to baiyun temple outside the city to pray for her mother to recite Buddhist scriptures in front of the Buddha. Originally everything went well, but unexpectedly, it happened in the capital.


    It is true that her life experience is miserable enough, but when she mentions the death of her father and mother, although she looks sad, she does not feel self pity. If a leisurely little girl encounters the death of her parents one after another and is under the influence of others, she will inevitably have a sense of inferiority and self pity, just like Lin Daiyu in the red chamber. But Zhuang Shu is indeed a rare neither humble nor overbearing, show generous, leisurely can not help but look at her in the heart.


    While talking, a burst of laughter came from outside, but Shen Xi came back from school. Shen Xi came in and saw many elder sisters in the room. First he invited leisurely an, then he ran to her and asked, "sister-in-law, this elder sister is really beautiful. I haven''t seen her before." Leisurely said with a smile, "I just met you today. This is sister Zhuang." Then he pointed to Xi''er and said to Zhuang Shu, "this is my sister-in-law Shen Xi. Just call her Xi''er."


    Shen Xi courtesy, Zhuang Shu quickly called. She used to go out to offer incense, but she didn''t have a gift for the children. After thinking about it, she untied a tourmaline carved squirrel grape from her waist and handed it to Shen Xi. "It''s not a valuable thing. It''s better than the craftsmanship. Take it and play with it."


    Leisurely obviously saw the embarrassment of their masters and servants, so although she saw that the tourmaline was valuable, she said to Shen Xi with a smile, "since it was given to you by sister Zhuang, you can take it." Shen Xi just took over and said with a smile, "thank you sister Zhuang."


    Zhuang Shu helped her up, "you''re welcome." Then he praised leisurely, "Miss Shen is so comprehensive at a young age. She must be well-educated."


    Leisurely, he said with a smile, "this is really a compliment. I''ve been married for less than a year. This child was originally raised by the wife of the loyal Duke himself, but now he is still learning some lessons in the government, but I dare not be greedy for merit. "


    And then he said a few words to Shen Xi in a soft voice, and let mother Wang take her down.


    After Shen Xi left, they talked for a while, but the conversation was quite congenial. It''s just that the sky is going to be dark, and the carriage of Marquis''s house of Jinxiang hasn''t come yet. One of Zhuang Shu''s servant girls came back from the outside and shook her head secretly. Seeing this, she said with a smile, "maybe something has delayed the carriage coming to your house, and it''s getting late. I''d like to keep you here for dinner, but I''m afraid your elders are worried. If you don''t, let our coachman take you back. "


    Zhuang Shu stood up and said, "Madam Gao Yi gave me a helping hand, but my little girl won''t refuse. Thank you for your help."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "Miss Zhuang is polite, so I will not leave you. Yutan, you will send Miss Zhuang back in person."


    Yutan promised to send Zhuang Shu and his party away. After nearly an hour, I came back with two spring vases with brocade, a pair of squirrel grape patterns and some Ganoderma lucidum supplements.


    There are not many things, and they don''t look very valuable. I''m afraid they will feel that the gift of thanks is a little thin in the eyes of others. But leisurely but see that pair of vases turned out to be rare doucai porcelain.

 Chapter 151

    This kind of porcelain was popular for 20 or 30 years after it was invented in the reign of emperor Gaozu. However, because several masters who were proficient in this craft died in an earthquake, the inheritance of this craft was broken. Although there are imitations by later generations, they are inferior in workmanship, which is not as gorgeous and exquisite as the doucai porcelain of Gaozu.


    As the saying goes, rare things are precious. Today''s doucai porcelain is precious. Leisurely, I remember that my younger brother bought a blue bamboo brush wash in an antique shop last year, which cost him nearly a year''s salary, which is worth two hundred taels of silver. If it wasn''t for the birthday celebration of Han imperial master, my younger brother would never have been so extravagant. Why is this vase worth three or four hundred liang? In this way, I''m afraid there is still a price but no market. In her dowry, there were not a few pieces of China to fight with. People just want to buy a few pieces of doucai porcelain. No one else, because at the beginning, only the Royal Porcelain workshop was able to produce this kind of porcelain. Naturally, the Royal Porcelain would not be sold. Most of it was awarded to some princes and ministers, or as dowries such as princesses and princesses.


    After seeing the porcelain, she thought that the old lady of the Marquis''s residence in Jinxiang was still a descendant of the royal family. Her mother was Princess Devon, the eldest daughter of Changshan king, the uncle of the former Emperor, and her father was the Duke of the former Yasukuni. In the first half of his life, Mr. Feng had a prosperous life. He was born in a prominent family and was favored by his parents. Tao Li Nianhua married the then Royal son Hou of Jinxiang. After they got married, they were talented and beautiful, and they loved each other. They gave birth to a son and a daughter. At that time, she was the admirable lady in the capital. Who would have thought that she would experience the following disasters, such as the loss of her husband in youth, the loss of her son in middle age, and the loss of her daughter in old age?


    Thinking of Mrs. Hou''s experience, I can''t help sighing. Life is like a dream and things are changeable! Mrs. Feng''s son died young before he got married, and there were no children left. The old lady had no choice but to adopt a child from her husband''s brother''s family as her son''s heir, so as to inherit the title of marquis. However, the child was still young at that time, so he was only raised in the government for the time being. He could only inherit the title after waiting for the weak crown. It is said that the eldest wife, who is now the director of the Marquis of Jinxiang, is the young master''s biological mother.


    Whose carriage was not checked and repaired again and again before the women''s family members of a wealthy family went out? How could it be inexplicable that the wheel broke down on the road, and an hour after the accident, there was no carriage in the house to pick it up, obviously did not pay attention to Zhuang Shu. It can be seen that the leader of the family in this house has neglected this watch girl.


    It''s just that old lady Feng is still there. She is so blatantly bullying the granddaughter of other people''s direct relatives. It can be seen that this old lady is not very successful. Don''t forget that although your son has been adopted as an heir, he has not been granted a son. Now he is so proud and arrogant, and he is not afraid of nothing?


    But on second thought, if it wasn''t for Mr. Feng''s prominent family and support, I''m afraid it would not even be today. Even though this time and space is much more advanced than the well-known previous life, the issue of "making a fortune out of doors" is still repeated. Therefore, Mr. Feng''s people are both unfortunate and extremely lucky.


    After all, it''s a family affair. Leisurely, it''s just a matter of feeling for a while. I really like that pair of jade pots and spring vases, so I let the maid clean them and put them on the table in the hall. Now is the season of Hydrangea blooming, and let the maid cut a few Hydrangea flowers into it, it is also full of flowers.


    But in the Qixia courtyard of the Ye family in the Marquis''s residence of Jinxiang, old lady Feng is talking about leisurely. She said to mother Cheng beside her, "I''m still alive. This little man bullies my own granddaughter so blatantly. Didn''t she refuse her mother''s proposal? Don''t look at what her nephew is, dare to think of my sister Shu


    Mother Cheng quickly poured out a rose water and handed it to the master. "Madam, drink some water to calm down. Why do you want to have the same understanding with the little man with shallow eyelids? Fortunately, young master Tong was raised by his wife when he was young, and now he is studying in Minghe Academy. He is gentle and polite on weekdays, but he is different from this family. "


    Mrs. Feng sighed, "if it''s not good to look at this child, I don''t have to bear this shrew. But I think Tong Ge''er is also filial. I''m afraid that in the future he will be instigated by the couple and separate from shu''er. Now I''d like to introduce her for a few days. I''ll deal with her when I''ve arranged a marriage for her. Ah, fortunately shu''er can stand up. Now the top priority is to find a good mother-in-law for shu''er as soon as I can move. " In fact, when her granddaughter didn''t get rid of clothes last year, Mrs. Feng had already secretly looked at her granddaughter. But it seems that there is no suitable one. Although the granddaughter is good, she is still an orphan. Her own uncle died early, and she didn''t even have a cousin. There are a few relatives of the makers, but they are all farming and studying. They live a little better than ordinary people. They can''t help them. Those first-class families will not choose Zhuang Shu as their daughter-in-law. Mrs. Feng didn''t want her granddaughter to be married to the aristocratic family, so she wanted to find a marriage for her with a clean family and a prosperous offspring, but she never found a suitable one.


    After thinking about it for a while, Mr. Feng said, "I''m in a hurry. I have to take my time. Two days later is shu''er''s seventeen birthday. It''s her first birthday after she takes off clothes. It must be better for her to do it. I don''t trust the one outside. You take care of it yourself. "


    Mother Cheng replied, "don''t worry, madam. I''ve been preparing for a long time. I''ll make you satisfied."


    On this day, leisurely is pruning flowers in the greenhouse, suddenly see a servant girl brought an invitation. Leisurely opened the post, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile, "sister Zhuang is interesting." Then he asked, "has the person who came to send the post gone yet?" Zhuang Shu knows that she is pregnant and won''t attend, but she still makes a post to invite each other. That is to say, she wants to make friends from the beginning. It''s rare that she doesn''t look down on the official talents of her origin.


    Liu Ye replied with a smile, "it''s the big servant girl beside Miss Zhuang. Elder sister Yutan is accompanying her, waiting for her reply."


    Then let her come in and I''ll see her. In addition, go to the East ear room and find out the pair of gold inlaid tourmaline flower hairpin and the string of Yang green emerald bracelet in my dowry, and find a brocade box


    Willow leaves a stay, that string of emerald beads but the princess sent, the value is not cheap! Just looking at the master''s firm appearance, she didn''t say anything and turned around.

 Chapter 152

    In addition to these two kinds of jewelry, there are also two and a half pots of Camellia when Bilan returns to her home. Bi Lan said to Zhuang Shu with a smile, "Mrs. Shen said that. Thank you for thinking about her, but she''s not well, so I won''t bother her that day. Let the maidservant bring this brocade box back and say it''s a birthday gift for the girl. There are also two pots of Camellia. They are said to be new products that she has just raised. Their stamens are white and flawless. They are just in line with the girl''s character, so they are sent to the girl to enjoy. "


    Zhuang Shu was looking forward to seeing that although the petals were not fully opened, they had already appeared beautiful and pure. He said with a smile, "this flower is really beautiful. I used to think pink is vulgar. Now when I see the light pink petals, I just feel fresh and refined. I can''t enjoy such a good thing alone. Let''s move it to my grandmother. "


    Old lady Feng is discussing things with mammy Cheng. When she hears that Zhuang Shu is coming, she stops talking. He said with a smile, "didn''t you just come back to your room? Why are you here again? " In the twinkling of an eye, she saw the two pots of Camellia carried by the women behind her. She couldn''t help praising "how handsome the camellia is, where did it come from?"


    Zhuang Shu saluted and said with a smile, "I just asked Bi LAN to send a post to Mrs. Shen. Mrs. Shen said she was pregnant and couldn''t come, so she asked Bi LAN to bring me two kinds of jewelry and these two pots of flowers."


    Mr. Feng went to the camellia and looked at it carefully for a while. He said, "I''ve heard for a long time that Mrs. Shen was a good flower grower in her boudoir. I''ve seen two chrysanthemums and orchids raised by her in the Marquis''s residence of Changping and Zhongguo''s residence in the past. But it''s the first time I''ve seen camellia. It really deserves its reputation. Shen Fu''s flowers are only given to a few of them. I didn''t expect you to get two pots. It seems that she has a good impression on you. "


    Zhuang Shu said with a smile, "in the past, I only heard other people talk about Mrs. Shen. They all said that she was very resourceful and skillful. But after seeing her, I felt that Mrs. Shen was not what they said. On the contrary, I think she has a pretty face, a brilliant temperament and a good reputation. She is even more outstanding than some ladies of noble families. I never thought that she came from a servant girl. "


    Old lady Feng said with a smile, "what''s the matter with the servant girl? Isn''t empress Taizu of Dakang a servant girl? Don''t you also raise such a founding monarch as Gaozu? When Mrs. Shen used to be with Mrs. loyal, I was vaguely impressed. I remember that she was a well behaved man. At that time, Mrs. zhongguogong was willing to take her when she went out. It can be seen that she must be appropriate. Mrs. zhongguogong and Mrs. changpinghou are not fools. If Mrs. Shen was such a schemer, she would not have known how many times she had died and could survive until she left home? Since Mrs. Chang Ping hou can take her as her adopted daughter, it shows that she has her own merits. I don''t believe that she is a schemer because she can plant such a beautiful flower. Since you are in love with each other, just make friends. "


    Zhuang Shu also said with a smile, "that day, as soon as Mrs. Shen heard my name, she could tell its source. Later, I can feel that Mrs. Shen should be very elegant, not like that outside. "


    "Don''t pay attention to them. It''s a long tongue and a broken mouth


    Today, after seeing the two pots of flowers that Mrs. Shen gave to her granddaughter, Mrs. Feng suddenly thought of an excellent candidate -- Lin Enron, the former criminal champion, who is Mrs. Shen''s brother. Mrs. Feng remembers that he was only 15 years old when he was the number one scholar. Although he was inferior to his master, who was 13 years old, he was also a rare young talent. Just such an excellent talent, do not know the engagement?


    Mrs. Feng suddenly thought that Zhuang Shu''s aunt was the wife of master Xue, the master of the Imperial Academy, and master Xue was Lin Zhuangyuan''s elder martial brother. You can ask Xue Gongren about it in private.


    Sure enough, on Zhuang Shu''s birthday, Xue Gongren brought his daughter and niece to celebrate Zhuang Shu''s birthday. Although Zhuang Shu didn''t know many people in the capital, Mrs. Feng had several prominent relatives. First of all, her uncle''s sister-in-law, Chang Guogong''s wife, came with four or five grandchildren. This is the wife of the Duke of the country. She is the wife of the Duke of the country. She is more noble than Han. Liu, who is over 60 years old, is still hearing, seeing and in good health. He also likes to go out for a walk on weekdays. So after receiving the old sister''s post, she came with the children and gave Zhuang Shu a very valuable birthday gift. In fact, Chang Guogong''s wife is still very fond of Zhuang Shu. Unfortunately, her daughter-in-law doesn''t want to, or maybe she will get married. And Mrs. Feng''s sister-in-law and Mrs. Yasukuni also brought her three granddaughters to make fun. There are also two girls from the Xue family and two girls from the Ye family, and there are quite a few of them.


    After the greetings, they enjoyed the flowers, the opera and the wine. After the banquet, when all the guests were gone, Mrs. Feng left Xue Gongren for conversation.


    Xue Gongren listened to Mrs. Feng''s words and clapped his hands with a smile. "The old lady is really good-looking. I can''t be more familiar with Lin Zhuangyuan. He and the one in my family are brothers of the same school. Now they are officials of the Imperial Academy. They often go to my home. Every time I see him, I just hate that my daughter is born too late and that she is too different from him. If not, such a young talent must be recruited as his son-in-law. "


    On hearing this, Mrs. Feng raised her eyebrows and asked, "in this way, the number one scholar Lin is very good?"


    Xue Gongren said with a smile, "isn''t it? Not to mention his literary grace, although he is not very handsome, he is also gentle. And what''s rare is that his open-minded personality has changed from man to machine, without the pedantic spirit of a nerd. As long as you don''t dislike their shallow family foundation, Lin Zhuangyuan is worthy of shu''er


    Mrs. Feng still had some doubts: "since Lin Zhuangyuan is so good, why hasn''t he been engaged so far?"


    Mrs. Xue replied, "I come and go with Lin Yiren very often, but she also told me about it. Her own sons and daughters are all dragons and phoenixes among the people, and the girl is no worse than the other girls. If you look at the girls of ordinary families, don''t you think they are not attractive? A good girl''s family doesn''t think much of his family. Isn''t that the delay? One more thing. At the beginning, Lin Ge''er got the green eye of the emperor because of a memorial, and was promoted to be a member of the Imperial Academy. But we all thought that the son should be Zhou Rui, the grandson of the Empress Dowager. Several families of princes originally wanted to marry an unpopular daughter. Seeing that he had not been promoted in recent years, they thought that he must have offended Chengen government, so they didn''t think much of him. They''ve all gone to grab this year''s new branch of Tanhua and Chuanlu. "

 Chapter 153

    Old lady Feng nodded, "so it is! I''m not afraid of it. Lin Zhuangyuan has stopped at the top of five grades in his life, and I''ve recognized it. How many people did not pass the imperial examination in their whole life. Shu''er''s father was just a fourth grade official, so it''s not insulting to find a son-in-law who is a fifth grade official. I just don''t know how Lin Zhuangyuan''s family assets are? I don''t dislike their poor family either, but shu''er grew up as well. If his family were as poor as Zhou Yu''s, it would be hard to live. What''s more, I don''t know if Lin Yiren is easy to get along with? "


    Xue Gong said, "Lin Yiren is the kindest. Although he grew up in the countryside, his grandfather was from a family background, and his two brothers are both scholars. Now a nephew of his mother''s family has also passed the exam. It''s not too much to say that he is a scholar. She is literate again. She has been in the capital for several years and has become more transparent and generous. "


    Mrs. Feng praised, "no wonder we can raise such a wonderful couple!" Zhuang Gongren took a sip of tea and moistened his throat. He said, "their family is not obvious, but in my opinion, they are still well-off. I don''t know, but Lin Zhuangyuan is now a guest lecturer of Minghe Academy. His lessons are good, and he is very popular with some scholars. Every month, he earns nearly two hundred taels. There is a Sanjin house in my family, which has nearly a thousand mu of fertile land. If you live a normal life, it''s enough. It''s just that I''m afraid the rich days like Hou''s will not come true. "


    When Xue Gongren came out of the Marquis''s house in Jinxiang, he told the coachman to go directly to the Lin family.


    When she heard the servant''s reply, Lin''s mother wondered why Xue Gongren suddenly came here sooner or later. After listening to Xue Gongren''s intention, Lin''s mother was surprised. "Isn''t Xue Gongren joking? Can people like that look up to us? "


    Xue Gongren said with a faint smile, "old lady Feng has never been so rigid. Miss Zhuang is her granddaughter, but she is also my niece. Her character and appearance are impeccable. Her grandmother and I don''t want her to marry into a high family, and then be subjected to several layers of mother-in-law''s competition. I just mentioned Enron, and Mrs. Feng was very satisfied. There is only one thing. The child has a hard life. His parents left early. " In order to prevent the Lin family from looking down on Zhuang Shu, Xue Gongren said the matter was his own proposal.


    After hearing this, Mrs. Lin said, "maybe others will pick the right for this, but I don''t care about it. My husband died early. Even when my parents died, I was young. How could I care about that. As the saying goes, "life and death depend on heaven, wealth depends on heaven." the fate of an individual is determined by heaven. Where can it come from? What can it be


    Xue Gongren said with a smile, "since you are interested, how about taking a chance to see each other?"


    Lin''s mother nodded and said, "that''s right. On the first day of May, it''s an Ge''er''s muxiu. It was originally decided to go to the Shangqing palace outside the city to dip."


    Xue Gongren heard the string song and knew his elegance. He said a few more words and left. After returning, he was busy sending his confidants to deliver a letter to the Marquis of Jinxiang.


    Although Shangqing palace was not a royal Taoist temple, Taoist Zhang, the leader of Shangqing palace, was the director of the Department of Daolu, who was in charge of all the Taoist temples in the world. Zhang Daochang, who is over eighty years old, is said to have a close relationship with the former Emperor. A few years ago, he often went to the palace to greet the Empress Dowager and the emperor. People all over the world call him "immortal Zhang.". It''s just that Zhang Shenxian is now said to be practicing hard in seclusion. All the objects in the Taoist temple are taken care of by his apprentice kongyou Zhenren.


    Kongyun is nearly 60 years old this year. His hair and beard are white, but he is a bit immortal. But those who have seen Zhang Shenxian will know that his Tao is not as deep as Zhang Shenxian. Without him, when Zhang Shenxian was 80 years old, his hair was not half gray. Now the empty person is less than 60 years old, and his hair is all white. It can be seen that there is still a lot of difference in the mana between the master and the apprentice.


    Because the first day of junior high school is the beginning of May, and it is also before the Dragon Boat Festival, so on this day, many relatives of official families come to dip in. Empty real person personally with a few disciples in front of the Sanqing hall. The Lin family didn''t have the ostentation of the Jia family in the Red Mansion, so they just took turns to go in and worship the statues of Sanqing and the twelve golden immortals. Fortunately, Dakang is not so rigid about the defense of men and women. For example, there are many young men and women coming and going in Buddhist temples. It seems that Dakang has become an excellent place for blind date. Lin''s mother felt that she had come to the palace less often. She begged for her son''s marriage and the safety of her daughter''s family just now. The sesame oil money was not good. She was too stingy, so she took fifty taels of silver.


    Seeing this, the Taoist who called in the hall asked Lin''s mother and son to have some tea and snacks in the backyard.


    When the mother and the son came to the door with a Taoist priest, they met the empty man and served a group of female relatives in person.


    The empty real man raised his eyes to see Lin Enron, and then said with a smile, "poor Taoist, the benefactor''s face is full, the heaven is full, the pavilion is square, the bridge of the nose is full, the five mountains are full, the spirit is clear, and the skeleton is beautiful. It''s also good to be number one


    As soon as the voice fell, a lady beside him began to laugh. "The Taoist priest really has good eyesight. Isn''t this Mr. Lin, the number one criminal with criminal record?"


    It''s Xue Gongren who wants to make a match between Enron and Zhuang Shu. It turns out that Xue Gongren and Feng Laofu are the people who have just come in. Of course, Zhuang Shu is wearing a veil.


    Since they met each other, Xue Gongren took the opportunity to introduce Lin''s mother and son to Mrs. Feng. Mrs. Feng is an elder. Naturally, the mother and the son came to the ceremony in a hurry. Looking at Enron''s appearance, Mrs. Feng was very satisfied. She said with a smile, "I have heard that Lin Zhuangyuan is not only outstanding in literary talent, but also outstanding in talent. Today, it really deserves her reputation." Then someone sent a gift, a pair of carved chicken blood stone seals. Judging the quality, you can see that they are extremely precious Dahongpao.


    Because Lin''s mother didn''t tell her son the purpose of her trip, Enron was also a little nervous at this time. She gave such a valuable gift at this meeting. I don''t know what Mrs. Hou meant? But when he saw that Lin''s mother and sister-in-law nodded to him, he said thanks and accepted it.


    At this time, Xue Gongren pulled Zhuang Shu to his mother and said, "this is Mrs. Feng''s niece and my niece."


    Zhuang Shu had already guessed the intention of her grandmother and aunt, so her face turned red. But he did his best to make a dignified salute to Lin''s mother: "I''ve seen Lin Yiren." His voice is clear and pleasant, as ethereal as a warbler out of the valley. Enron couldn''t help looking at her.

 Chapter 154

    Lin''s mother is also very satisfied with Zhuang Shu. Although she is wearing a veil, she is so close to Zhuang Shu that she can see her facial features. Just look at the smart and elegant between the eyebrows and eyes, you will know that the child''s appearance is not the same. As for character, Lin Mu thought Xue Gongren would not lie and cheat on this point.


    At that moment, Lin Mu rolled down a pair of green emerald bracelets she was wearing and put them on Zhuang Shu''s hand. She said with a smile, "this crisp and tender color is good for your young girl''s family, but it''s a bit spoiled for me." Lin''s mother worked in the countryside for so many years. Although she later used the hand cream prepared by leisurely herself, her hands were much more delicate, but she was still much worse than the gentlewoman. So it''s not modest.


    Mrs. Feng said with a smile, "if it had not been for Lin Yiren''s hard work, it would not have been the glory of Lin Zhuangyuan today." Finish saying to show accident granddaughter to accept that pair of bracelets, then Zhuang Shu smiles to walk a ten thousand blessings.


    At this time, Xue Gongren said, "since you are not outsiders, shu''er, you also come to see Lin Zhuangyuan."


    At present, the two people salute each other, although there is no redundant words, but there seems to be something different in their eyes.


    Mrs. Feng said to Mrs. Lin with a smile, "a few days ago, my granddaughter encountered some troubles on her way back to the mansion when she went to baiyun temple. Thanks to the help of Mrs. Shen. Lin Yiren must thank me when he goes back. " Lin''s mother didn''t hear her daughter mention it, but she said, "old lady, you''re welcome. It''s just a little help."


    Mrs. Feng, they haven''t gone in to offer incense. Parents of both sides also think that it''s better to leave some room for their first meeting. So I said goodbye at the gate of the main hall.


    When Lin''s mother and son left, Mrs. Feng said with a smile, "Please light a big sea lantern in front of the Sanqing statue for me, and bless my granddaughter to find a good marriage as soon as possible."


    The empty real man stroked his long white beard and said with a faint smile, "I see that the old lady''s wish has been achieved. Didn''t the son-in-law of the Dragon come to the lady? What''s more, Miss Zhuang''s red Luan star is moving. I think it''s not far away from the happy event. If you don''t light this sea lantern, you may as well


    Hearing this, Mr. Feng said happily, "since the real man said so, I''ll sell it back. I don''t know what the real man thinks of my granddaughter''s marriage."


    Empty, the real person smiles, "it''s a match made in heaven."


    In the afternoon, leisurely was discussing the Dragon Boat Festival gift list with Shen Ze, who was at home with Mu Xiu. He heard my uncle and Mrs. Lin come back. Enron stayed in the front hall for tea, and Lin''s mother went straight to leisurely''s room. After the ceremony, Shen Ze said, "I was preparing to go and greet my mother-in-law today. I leisurely said that my mother-in-law went to the palace of the Qing Dynasty safely. Now that you are here, please have dinner and go back


    Lin''s mother is not polite to her son-in-law, so she answers with a smile. Shen Ze turns around and goes to the front yard to entertain his brother-in-law.


    Leisurely see mother''s face left a lot of sweat, he said, "mother to hit dip, back and forth also strange tired, how must this son come? The hot face is red. Why don''t you change your clothes first? "


    Lin Mu shook her head, took her daughter''s hand and sat down. "Don''t worry. I''ll talk about it later. I have something to ask you. I went to the palace of the Qing Dynasty today, first for dipping, and second for your brother. Do you know Miss Zhuang, the granddaughter of Madam Hou of the Marquis''s residence in Jinxiang? "


    Wen Yan nodded his head leisurely. "Once upon a time, that girl Zhuang was very generous. Is it her that I look at each other?"


    Lin Mu nodded, "isn''t it? It turns out that she is Xue Gongren''s cousin. Two days ago, Xue Gongren came to talk about it with me. I thought this girl might have something wrong with her appearance and figure. Today, when she looks like that, she doesn''t talk about it. Even if she talks and acts, she is in a dilemma. Since she is Xue Gongren''s niece, it''s not bad to think about her character. I don''t think Ann said it, but she was willing to. It''s just that although her parents are dead, she has a grandparent of Mrs. Hou. I don''t know if she can match our family background. " Leisurely said, "if you are not satisfied with our family background, maybe Mrs. hou can''t take Miss Zhuang to see us. If it''s successful or not, I''ll believe it these two days. Mother just has to wait. "


    After listening to her daughter''s pacification, Lin''s mother immediately felt that she had a lot of light in her heart, so she took the sour plum soup from her maid and drank one.


    On the second day, Xue Gongren went to the door and told Lin Mu that he could come to propose marriage.


    Lin''s mother was overjoyed, so she prepared a big gift and invited the official media to go up the mountain and beat the wild geese. Old lady Feng pretended to refuse for a time, but Fang Ying gave up.


    Since the two families are interested, they don''t dally too much. Soon after winning the lottery and asking for names, it was decided that wending would be released on the eighth day of June.


    After wending''s date was decided, Lin''s mother took out the jewelry she was going to marry her daughter-in-law and looked at it again and again, but she didn''t think it was suitable. She never thought that she could marry a daughter-in-law with such a high family rank. Not to mention old lady Feng, she was Zhuang Shu''s father, who was also a senior official of zhengsipin. Zhuang Shu was a well-known official. Think of that day to see Zhuang Shu, although the dress is not luxurious, but the insertion are all fine, no doubt, his original preparation of something a little rough.


    Lin''s mother found out some jewels and jades that her son and daughter had not inlaid in the past two years. She took out some excellent pearls and twenty taels of gold and told Fang Cao, "take these things to Mrs. Han''s gold and silver shop, and ask them to make two delicate faces." After listening to the grass, I will not mention it.


    When Youran knew this, she was very happy for her younger brother. Although she saw only one side, she also appreciated the girl. She thought of the tourmaline that Zhuang Shu gave Shen Xi, and thought that there was no precious wending ceremony for her mother. Although she had been filial to Lin Mu''s face, many of them are exquisite, but the style and color are not suitable for young girls. Leisurely is afraid of his mother''s embarrassment, so he finds a set of gold inlaid jade inlaid with gems and a set of red coral jewelry from his dowry, and four of them are sent to Lin Mu by Gong Zuren.


    These two sets of jewelry are all exquisite products. Lin''s mother refused to accept them, but she was afraid that she would let her daughter down. So she collected them and prepared some tea gifts, snacks and other things to make a modest wending ceremony.


    In the twinkling of an eye, on the eighth day of June, Wen Ding didn''t have to come out safely. In the morning, he invited an for his mother and went to the Yamen to be on duty. Mother Lin put on the peacock robe made by her daughter, wore a set of red gold silk inlaid with blue treasure, and went to the Marquis''s residence of Jinxiang with matchmaker and servant girl.

 Chapter 155

    Although the Marquis''s house of Jinxiang has suffered a lot in recent years, it is a family with many old relatives. With the face of the government of Chang state and the Marquis of Jing''an, the scene of Wending was also very lively.


    It''s a pity that Youran is pregnant. She can''t come to this occasion, or she would like to join in the fun.


    Although Lin''s mother was a little nervous, she had experienced her daughter''s marriage. Even the princess had seen her. She was quite calm when she entertained the ladies. No matter how many people in the court speculate, Enron is still a near Minister of the emperor, not to mention Lin''s mother has a son-in-law with military power. When people saw that she was quite methodical, they were very polite to her.


    At the auspicious time, Mrs. Feng asked Zhuang Shu to come out. Today, Zhuang Shu is wearing a big red dress, which is more matched with her skin and character logo.


    Lin''s mother laughingly asked people to bring her own wending ceremony. It''s just six sets of gold and silver jewelry, plus some clothes and jewelry.


    Some small minded people think that the Lin family has a good family background, and the reason why they decide to get married is to make a fortune. I didn''t expect that the wending ceremony of the Lin family was so heavy. The most valuable headgear was always the jewelry on it. These sets of jewelry of the Lin family are inlaid with pearls or gemstones of excellent quality, which shine brilliantly in the sunlight. I stabbed some people in the eye. The Lin family didn''t know how to break the pot and sell iron. This wending ceremony must be to coax people into the door.


    Lin''s mother didn''t think of these villains. She only thought it was so easy to choose a good girl for her son, and she was very happy. Xue Gongren said that the steward of Miss Zhuang was a good steward. He was even more satisfied. He wanted to marry his daughter-in-law home as soon as possible, and then he didn''t have to force the steward. How tired is the steward? As a gift, Lin''s mother inserts a red gold hairpin into Zhuang Shu''s head. This gift is a success.


    In order to prevent her niece''s daughter-in-law from having any problems, Mrs. Feng has taken back the right of housekeeper in the whole house. Therefore, wending ceremony has been completed smoothly. Seeing that Mrs. Lin has put a gold hairpin on Zhuang Shu''s head, Mrs. Feng is finally relieved. She didn''t expect that the Lin family had come up with such a heavy wending ceremony. The jewelry sets were extremely exquisite, and the fabrics were all palace satin, which at least showed that the Lin family was very interested in the marriage.


    Lin''s mother brought back Zhuang Shu''s gift. Seeing that her clothes and shoes were well stitched and exquisitely embroidered, she nodded. Zhuang Shu is the daughter of an official family. When her parents died, she also had the support of her grandparents. She didn''t have to rely on needlework to make a living. Naturally, she didn''t spend too much time on it. Zhuang Shu can have such a job has been very unexpected. She also thought to herself that the girl who read and read was different, and even the embroidery work had a special aura.


    After his brother''s marriage was settled, he took time to go back to his mother''s home. After listening to Lin''s mother''s talk about the situation of that day, and seeing the clothes made by her younger brother''s daughter-in-law for her mother and younger brother, she was also very happy for her younger brother. After solving a problem, she went home to raise her baby.


    Naturally, the Lin family didn''t forget Xue Gongren, who helped to make the marriage. The mother and son went to the Xue family to give thanks for their kindness.


    After the wedding, Lin''s mother began to prepare the bride price for her daughter-in-law. Thanks to the good harvest in the past two years, my son has added new income. Last year, a 500 mu villa was added to the family. Now that I have more than 500 taels of gold and a silver note of 1000 taels, I can still get a thousand and eight hundred taels of income in autumn. However, it is not half of the bride price of my daughter. But the family situation is so, Lin Mu can only do her best.


    At the end of May, Princess Lezhen, who had been away from the capital for a long time, appeared on the birthday of the Empress Dowager. Shortly after that, the emperor married her to Xinke Tanhua Yuzhong. At the same time, Fang Xinsu was also given marriage to Qi Heng, Prince of Rongjun.


    In a word, the king of Rongjun can be regarded as the only king of the opposite sex in the Dakang Dynasty, and his family''s Wang Jue is the hereditary king of Gaozu. As long as his descendants don''t commit any serious crimes of treason, they can enjoy prosperity.


    Many people are puzzled by the imperial edict. Although it is true that Xinke Tanhua was born with a good reputation and brilliant literary talent, Yuzhong was born in a poor family, and his family background was more than 18000 miles worse than that of Rongjun. How did the emperor give up the better condition of Rongjun king to other daughters? Even Princess Wei did not expect that the emperor and Empress Dowager should be so partial to the Le''an princess. Although Rong Jun Wang was young, he had no real power in his hands, but his two uncles were both generals in the court, with heavy soldiers in their hands. Qi Heng has always been friendly with the prince, and the king of Chu naturally wanted to pull him into his own camp. It never occurred to me that before Princess Wei could tell the emperor about it, the emperor would marry a courtier daughter to him. Princess Wei''s mother and son were secretly annoyed, but the imperial edict had been issued, so they had nothing to do. Since the road to Rongjun was temporarily blocked, the king of Chu turned his eyes to others.


    Now that she is engaged, it''s time for Fang Xinsu to get married. When she prepared Shen Tian''s dowry earlier, Han had already prepared a lot of dowry supplies for Fang Xinsu, and a whole set of Huanghua pear wood furniture. Fang Xinjian offered twenty thousand taels of silver to Han from the bank, and asked his aunt han to help prepare the dowry for Fang Xinsu. The main reason is that he doesn''t know anything about this piece. He wants to get more for his sister, but the housekeeper won''t let him. This silver is the dowry silver that Fang''s father named and left to her daughter. If Fang Xinjian wants to give her sister more silver, she can only take her own private house as a supplement or wait until she takes over the Fang family.


    This made Fang Xinjian very upset, but Fang Xinsu personally advised him, "all the money in our family is left to our descendants, and it can''t be pasted on a married girl of mine. Besides the twenty thousand taels of silver, my mother had already given me a lot of things, about thirty or forty thousand. I have the title of princess. How can the house prepare a dowry for me? In addition to the private house given to me by the empress dowager, my dowry is decent enough. You don''t have to worry about that anymore. "


    Although Fang Xinsu''s words comforted Fang Xinjian, he still felt that he wanted to do something for his sister. He just came down on the face and found a way to earn money in private to make up for her sister.


    Han also shakes his head and smiles when he receives the money from his nephew. It is because the Fang family has not left money for their sister and brother. Is it hard for her not to hurt these two children?

 Chapter 156

    Fang Xinsu has been in front of her for so many years. She is always considerate and filial. Han naturally loves her. She has always been generous, in addition to the Fang family, she will naturally add a lot of money.


    Han thought that in addition to the silver, there was a three thousand mu Chuang Tzu and four or five shops left by Fang Xinsu. In addition to the reward Fang Xinsu received from the Empress Dowager in the past two years, there was no need to buy the property shop. The furniture is almost there. It''s just enough to buy some clothes and dowry. Her sister-in-law also left a lot of excellent jewelry for her daughter. Besides, Fang Xinsu always has the title of princess on his head. According to the rule, the house of internal affairs is to prepare 68 dowries for him. It doesn''t cost much money.


    That day, Han just asked people to carry out the silk boxes in the warehouse, and wanted to pick out some good ones to add makeup to his niece. Fang Xinsu came with her servant girl. She went to the palace to thank her. As soon as she got back to the house, she came to ask for her respects. Han waved to her, "sister Su, come here quickly and see what materials you like. I''ll let someone put them in your dowry."


    Fang Xinsu''s face turned red That long ending with unspeakable naivety. Han patted her hand and sighed, "well, I don''t complain that people don''t like to raise daughters, but it''s not necessarily true that men are superior to women. It''s just that Bala''s easy-going appearance is clever and sensible, and she''s going to marry someone else''s home. Isn''t it uncomfortable? You only came to my shoulder when you came here. In the past two years, you''ve been half a head higher than me. I''ve seen the king of Rongjun many times. He''s beautiful and graceful. It''s also suitable for you. Although the title of his family is hereditary, it is not an Orthodox patriarchal clan. The old prince is a monk, and he is not in the mansion all the year round, and there is no mother-in-law in charge. It''s better than marrying to the royal family. I said, "why didn''t the Empress Dowager tell you to get married? It turns out that she left the best for you."


    Then he turned to look at the maids behind Fang Xinsu, all holding a lot of brocade boxes, and said with a smile, "if the Empress Dowager really loves you, she has given you a lot of good things to press the bottom of the box, right?" Fang Xinsu said, "I''m going to talk to my aunt about it. Let''s go inside and talk about it."


    Seeing that she had something to say, Han took her to the inner room, held back the crowd and asked, "you are still mysterious. What''s the matter?"


    Fang Xinsu said, "when I went to greet my mother, the Empress Dowager said that she had asked the interior government to prepare a dowry for me. In private, she gave me two shops and a three thousand acre Chuang Tzu. So I thought, when my aunt prepares for me, I''d like to have less things. It''s said that Princess Lezhen only carries 120 dowries. My marriage has already attracted people''s attention. If the dowry is too thick, it''s too eye-catching. "


    Han nodded. "The Empress Dowager really loves you. No matter how many of those clothes are on her head, it will be out of fashion in two years. It''s better for Chuang Tzu and the shop. They don''t have money to buy good things? Well, now that you''ve said that, I know what to do. I''ll buy things for you in a small and delicate place. "


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "thank you for loving me." Then he opened a brocade box where the agate had just been placed on the table and said, "aunt, try it. This is the Longjing crisp and Songren cake that the imperial dining room just made today. It tastes very good."


    Han raised his voice and ordered the maid to serve tea. Then he picked up a piece of Longjing cake and said, "this Longjing cake is the most delicious in the palace." It''s not difficult to make Longjing pastry. It''s just that the Longjing tea used for dim sum is a tribute tea worth thousands of gold. Plus furonglu lotus leaf powder, this small dim sum is tens of taels of silver. What''s more, I''m not willing to take out the tea to make a snack even if I have tea at home.


    Han''s side is busy preparing Fang Xinsu''s dowry, while Shen Mingchang directly betroths Shen Ying and Shen Lian. Shen yingding is a soldier who once followed him to the northwest. Now he is Li Yu, the commander of the imperial forest army from Wupin. His father was also a general in Northwest China. His parents and relatives died in the attack. Only he and his married sister, who were studying in the capital, survived. At the beginning of the northwest war, he secretly went to the army to report his name without telling his sister. From then on, he abandoned literature and went to military, but he also made a lot of contributions. In addition to the father''s face, he was appointed by the emperor to serve in the imperial army.


    Shen Ying still feels a little reluctant and wants to argue with her father. She thinks that now she is also a powerful official. Isn''t it too much to marry a warrior? Fortunately, she was stopped by her brother Shen Mao. Shen Mao advised her, "elder sister, do you want to end up with the same fate as your elder brother if you play around like this again?" After hearing this, Shen Ying stopped struggling. Yes, where did Shen Cang, the young master who was in this mansion, go now? Seeing that she had settled down, Shen Mao said, "didn''t my sister always do well in the past few years? I have a good relationship with my mother and elder sister. Everyone in the house looks up at you. But how come these two years have been like a nightmare? Do you want to compete with your elder sister? "


    Shen Yinghong looked into her eyes and asked, "they are all my father''s daughters. Why can''t I compare with her?"


    Shen Mao frowned. "Because of the difference between the two, the eldest sister''s mother is zhengyipin''s wife, the eldest sister''s family is the Marquis of Changping, the eldest sister''s uncle is zhengyipin''s secretary of the Ministry of official affairs, and the eldest sister''s mother comes from the Meng family in Shandong. Our biological mother is just a servant girl. What do you compare with elder sister? My father told me that if you still can''t see your identity, the government doesn''t care about losing a concubine. "


    Shen Ying tearful "I just don''t want to, big sister just, even a maid Lin leisurely married better than me."


    Shen Mao sighed and took a handkerchief to wipe Shen Ying''s tears. "It''s all my fault. I''m just a scholar now. I can''t add light to your face. It''s just that Li Duwei is less than 20 years old this year. He has already become a Wupin. With our family''s help, he may not be able to be a feudal official in the future. How does my sister know that she will not be as good as sister-in-law Ze? I think my father is still partial to you. What I''m looking for for you is at least a five character facial. What I found for my third sister is just a poor scholar in the Imperial Academy. It''s said that the family even rent the place they live in. If you compare them, you''ll be satisfied. "


    At any rate, Shen Mao finally appeased Shen Ying. Shen Ying thought for two days. She was not stupid, but she was blinded by jealousy in the past two years. Now that her marriage has been settled, she has nothing to regret. Especially in wending, the betrothal gifts from the Li family were very heavy. She hid behind the carved door and secretly looked at Li Yu. Seeing that he was handsome, not as vulgar as he had imagined, he was satisfied and gradually stopped.

 Chapter 157

    But Shen Ying said that after she died down, she saw that the wending gift sent by Shen Lian''s fiance''s house was very simple, with only one set of gold and silver head and four pieces of silk and satin. She was afraid that Shen Lian would not be able to pass, so she turned to persuade Shen Lian.


    However, Shen Lian was not dissatisfied. She said with a smile, "since my father has decided this marriage for me, there must be his consideration. Besides, being poor has its own advantages. I''ve been married, and I''ve got my own dowry to eat, and I''ve got people''s deed of sale in my own hands. I''m finally in charge of my own business. What''s wrong? "


    After listening to Shen Lian''s words, Shen Ying said with a smile, "according to what you say, you are quite satisfied with the marriage?" Shen Lian smiles and shakes her head. "I''m not satisfied. When can we say that we''re going to get married? Before long, we''ll go out separately. It''s not cheaper to see each other in the future. I have a few words to say


    Shen Ying is one Zheng "our own sisters, what can''t say?" They are the only two concubines in the family. They have been getting along well in the past two years. Shen Lian said, "I think the second sister''s eyebrows and eyes are more relaxed than before. I''m really happy for my sister. I''m afraid that my sister can''t get out of the dead end like before. After we got married, we didn''t depend on our mother''s family? My elder sister is no longer stubborn. She goes to be soft with her mother and lowers her head. She doesn''t say how she will be in the future, even if she can get some cheaper dowry in front of her. " Seeing that Shen Ying just bowed her head and said nothing, Shen Lian whispered, "if you are not ashamed, you don''t think about yourself. Don''t you think about your second elder sister''s husband? When you have a good relationship with your mother''s family, your father is willing to support your second brother-in-law. Husband, wife and honor, second brother-in-law, you can be good. If this has been rigid, the father will look at the face of his mother and brother Hong, and will not take care of you more. When my husband''s family sees that you are not allowed to be spoiled in your mother''s family, I don''t know what will happen. The general''s family is the most unruly. "


    Hearing that Shen Ying was stunned for a long time, Fang said with a bitter smile, "I grew up in Yuehua courtyard, but I didn''t see it as thoroughly as you. It''s just that I''ve broken my mother''s heart. I''m afraid she won''t forgive me. "


    Just as he was talking, Han sent a servant girl to ask them to come.


    Two sisters look at each other, or hurry to clean up, together to the Yuehua hospital.


    Besides Han, Shen Mingchang is also here. When they finished their salute, Han asked them to sit in the next seat and said slowly, "today I want you to come here for your dowry."


    Wen Yan and Shen Ying look at each other, and Shen Ying says with a smile, "these things are all decided by my mother, that is, my third sister and I have no more opinions." Shen Lian nodded and agreed.


    Han Xiaoxiao said, "it''s hard for you to trust me so much, but I don''t know what to say. Since it''s your dowry, it''s natural for you to know. Because next year is the year of the widow, you two are not young, and your marriage will be in the year before. It''s a rule in our house that a common daughter''s marriage is five thousand taels of dowry silver. I will keep this money for you to buy headgear, clothes and other things. When your grandfather passed away, each of you left you two hundred taels of gold as a dowry. I thought this would be a box of silver for you. And the head and a thousand taels of silver that your grandmother left you. Because you were young at that time, I collected them for you. You will take them back later. Our income is not bad in recent years. Each of us in the government will give you another house and 500 mu of land in the suburbs of Beijing. In addition, your father bought you a 500 mu village in Rehe. As a mother, I''ll give you two shops for one person and five hundred taels of silver. In addition, the dowry sent by your husband''s family when the time is too big, in addition to snacks, tea, wine and other things, the rest of the silver, headdress and clothing materials are put into your dowry. "


    After all, their dowry can be as much as 1780. With the things in their own room, the dowry is not too simple for the common girl.


    The two sisters quickly stood up and saluted. Without mentioning it, the husband and wife waved their hands and said, "you don''t have to be so polite. You can take all the things in your room. The servant girl around with which a few release to which a few of their own mind to know. If you have any ideas of your own, you can tell them as soon as possible. "


    Shen Ying has no idea. The dowry is much more than she imagined. The 500 mu land near the capital is worth 3000 taels of silver. But after listening to Han''s words, Shen Lian stood up, gave a salute, and said with a smile, "since mother said so, her daughter is not polite. It''s said that my betrothed family doesn''t have a lot of money. So far, they don''t even have a place to live. Moreover, he has no official position so far. As the saying goes, when you marry a chicken, you marry a dog. Therefore, her daughter thought that she might as well reduce some of the clothes in the regulations and save thousands of taels of silver to buy a small house. When I get married, it''s better to live in a small house to save money. "


    Shen Mingchang frowned, but Han said with a smile, "if you can say that, I''m relieved. It shows that you understand in your heart, and you are not afraid that your mother-in-law will take you. It''s just that you''re used to living in our big courtyard, and you can live in a small courtyard with two entrances? "


    Shen Lian said, "there''s nothing you can''t live in. Just get used to it. If that person is capable, he will earn a big house for me in the future."


    Shen Mingchang coughed, "you just don''t believe in being a father." Shen Lian said with a smile, "naturally I believe in my father."


    Han then looked at Shen Ying and said, "what do you think of Yingjie?" Shen Ying shakes her head. "Her daughter doesn''t understand this either. It''s all up to her mother." Han sighed, "it''s just this time. When you get married, I can''t think about it any more."


    After hearing this, Shen Ying stood up and said, "a daughter is a married daughter and also a mother''s daughter. As long as the mother doesn''t dislike her daughter''s noise, the daughters will often come to visit her mother."


    Seeing that Shen Ying was more cheerful than before, Han also breathed a sigh of relief. Now she doesn''t want to make any trouble at home. She said with a smile, "I wish you could come back often." As long as Shen Ying doesn''t make mistakes, she is happy to be a virtuous and generous mother. She can vaguely detect her daughter''s mind and wild hope. Her son is still young. If these common sons and common daughters can help her daughter, then what will she do?


    All of a sudden to prepare three dowries, is capable, such as Han is also busy.


    Since her son''s engagement, Lin''s mother has slowly prepared the betrothal gift of Dading. Next year is the year of widows. Both of them are very old. It''s better to get married before the new year. Han Di Shi helped to get married on the sixth day of December, and the appointment was set on the second day of October.

 Chapter 158

    In the twinkling of an eye, by the end of July, all the clothes and fabrics in the wedding gifts of the Lin family had been prepared. Thirty six sets of gold and silver headgear had been prepared. Thanks to the filial piety of my daughter, I didn''t spend much money on fur and brocade. Rao is like this. There are less than two thousand liang of betrothal gifts left. Lin''s mother didn''t want to treat other people''s money lightly. She only hoped that the autumn harvest in September would be several percent more.


    Suddenly, when she came back safely on this day, she handed Lin Mu two brocade boxes and a 3000 Liang silver note. But she was startled. "Where did you get so much money back?"


    Enron replied, "since Princess Le''an got married, Mr. Fang wanted to exchange some good things for his sister, but he didn''t have much money in his hand, so he sent people out of the sea twice. When I knew about it, I collected 3000 taels of silver and made a share. Now there are more people engaged in sea trade, and the profit is low. I earned 8000 taels of silver in two trips back and forth. I took another thousand taels of silver and asked them to exchange these pearls and gems for me. I''ll find someone to fight with me some other day, and give you and your sister two sets each. " Then he blushed and said, "I''d like to add more betrothal gifts to miss Zhuang. I heard elder martial brother Xue say that her dowry is as much as forty or fifty thousand. Although our family doesn''t have such dowry, we should do our best."


    Lin''s mother was surprised. "So many? Then our family should give more betrothal gifts. " Then he laughed, "you are both blessed." With that, he went to cook again.


    Because the day is coming, leisurely although worried about her mother''s home, but it is not easy to move at this time. After July 25, Lin''s mother put aside the betrothal gifts and came to live in the Shen family every day. She was afraid that her daughter would not be around when she gave birth.


    She told her daughter about Enron''s money and nodded leisurely, "go back and persuade him. It''s just something that happens occasionally. If it''s a long time, it''s a bit of an eye opener. He is a close Minister of the emperor. How many eyes are staring at him


    Lin Mu nodded and said, "OK, I''ll go back and talk about him. I think the child has a good idea. Won''t he stop tossing after earning some money? "


    Voice did not fall, I saw her daughter frowning, covering her stomach, said, "my stomach a burst of pain."


    Lin''s mother quickly stood up and held her, "I think it''s going to be a day. I think it''s going to be a baby." Then he said to the servant girl, "go to the midwife quickly." Then he said to his daughter, "if it doesn''t hurt very much, I''ll walk on the ground. I can live faster."


    Leisurely nodded, and then stood up and told Yutan, "you go to let them burn hot water, boil me a bowl of ginseng soup." As soon as Yutan was about to leave, Lin''s mother said, "in addition to ginseng soup, let them prepare a pot of chicken soup." Yutan went to the kitchen.


    After a while, she came back with a tray with a bowl of beef noodles and two poached eggs lying on it. Yutan said, "mother Yang in the kitchen heard that you are going to have a baby. She made this bowl of noodles for you. She said that she would not have strength until she had enough to have a baby."


    Leisurely strong support discomfort sat down, noodles did not move much, on the small pickles will eat the two eggs, put down the chopsticks. Su he took the spittoon and waited on her to gargle. Lin''s mother stood up in a hurry and said, "why hasn''t this granny come yet?"


    Just as he was talking, he saw the servant leading wenpo to come here in a hurry. Wenpo let leisurely lie down on the bed, asked for warm water, washed her hands with soap, then looked at it, and said, "grandma opened the basin very fast, opened five fingers, it''s estimated that it''s fast."


    Fortunately, the hot water, cotton cloth, scissors and so on were all ready. They were placed in the room neatly. Seeing this, wenpo nodded to herself.


    Less than an hour later, a burst of baby crying came. Leisurely, I finally had my first child.


    Shen Ze, who was far away in the capital camp, immediately told Shangfeng about the fake and ran back.


    Shen Ze holds a small meat ball in his arms, and his heart is unprecedentedly excited. In his twenties, he was very excited to have his eldest son. Although it''s said that it''s not easy for men to enter the delivery room during confinement, Shen Ze still went to the inner room to see his wife for a while. Seeing his wife''s sweaty hair, Shen Ze gently held her hand. "Thank you for your hard work, madam." Although it''s easy for Shen Ze to find a nanny for his children at home, leisurely chooses two nannies from Chuang Tzu, but he doesn''t plan to let the children eat their milk. Instead, he feeds them himself.


    Lin''s mother also agreed that "the children will be close to you only if they are fed by themselves. If you only rely on those servants, will there be a division between mother and son? "


    Shen Ze doesn''t understand this. Let her go. Although the two nannies murmured a few words in secret, they didn''t say much. Their monthly silver was indispensable.


    Tianding such a big event is naturally to tell the family and friends, the people invited the news, have sent people to send a gift to not mention. Wash three that day, Meng and Han personally came to see leisurely and baby.


    Meng looked at the child and said, "ordinary children are wrinkled when they are born. There are no wrinkles when they look red. When they grow up, they must be a handsome young man."


    Leisurely smile "boys, it doesn''t matter whether they are handsome or not, as long as they are healthy."


    Although Shen Tian didn''t come personally, she also let Han bring a set of exquisite long-life locks and bracelets.


    Han praised the child once and said, "now I only hope that the princess can give birth to Kirin as soon as possible, regardless of men and women, in peace."


    Leisurely back to the way "empress Hong Fu Qi Tian, naturally will be smooth production, said not to be able to give birth to a pair of twins it."


    Meng said with a smile, "it may not be impossible. The royal family has never heard of twins. But in our family, my great grandfather had a sister of twins. Han Di Shi has twin aunts. I remember when I was young, I would make jokes every time I met these two aunts and grandmothers. Now that I''m older and have different bearing, it''s easier to distinguish. "


    Han nodded, "I think this point is with the maternal blood, but the elder brother and I have not been able to inherit this point, it''s a pity."


    After a few words, they went out to have a banquet. Leisurely, there was a servant girl who brought her delicious food.


    Lin''s mother accompanied them to lunch. After dinner, she removed the table and put incense tables and statues in the room. Shen Xi, as the child''s aunt, though young, kowtows to the incense on behalf of the Shen Ze family. Even Han, who was also a member of the Shen family, paid homage to her daughter because she was worried about her daughter.


    Then came the ceremony of adding pots. Most of the people added some gold and silver coins, but there was no need to repeat them one by one. Only the midwife saw a lot of gold and silver in the basin and was even more happy.

 Chapter 159

    Knowing the news of leisurely production, Zhuang Shu also sent two small clothes and a name lock of Lanzhi jade because of her poor identity. Old lady Feng also sent many gifts. Because this year is the year of the horse, Fang Xinsu sent someone to send a horse with jade carving. It''s only about the size of a palm, but the sculptors are very exquisite. The jade is green in color and clear in texture. You can see that it''s top grade. Leisurely asked people to record these things and put them in a separate box, ready to give them to his son when he is older.


    Leisurely gave his son a baby name named Kangtai, hoping that the baby will grow up safely. Their generation''s children''s name from the "wood" department, Shen Ze pondered for many days, set the name of Shen Liang for his son, hoping that he can become a pillar in the future.


    After three washes, although Shen Ze was reluctant to give up his wife and son, he packed up his things and went back to the barracks. Fortunately, Lin''s mother came to take care of him from time to time at home, and he could rest assured.


    Leisurely did not take a bath in the confinement like many of the walkers, but did the full 40 days of confinement according to the old rules. Fortunately, it was the end of July when she gave birth to the baby. The weather was cool, but it wasn''t too hard. Rao is so, after the confinement, she also changed the water three times before she was washed.


    Children grow fast. In more than a month, Kangtai has grown fat and tiger headed. Shen Xi can''t wait to see his little nephew as soon as he gets home, and he finds out his childhood toys for him to play with. Leisurely every time I look at this fat son, I will have the idea of "everything is enough if I have a son". It''s just that the Mid Autumn Festival is just around the corner. There are still many things for her to do in person, so she has been busy for a long time.


    During the Mid Autumn Festival, there were two days off in the barracks. On the night of August 15, the sky is clear, the moon is full and the stars are rare. The family gathered to enjoy the moon and drink. Shen Ze looked at his wife, sister and infant son and finally felt that he was no longer alone. Now such a happy scene finally gives him the feeling of home in his childhood memory.


    After the Mid Autumn Festival, Shen Ze went back to the barracks to practice. The emperor has decided to hold hunting activities in the paddock near Yangtian mountain in early October, and at the same time inspect the soldiers of the three armies. So these days, the camp is very busy, Shen Ze often has no time to go home.


    This year, the weather is good in the Dakang Dynasty, and the autumn harvest is very good. After the Mid Autumn Festival, the Shen family and the caretakers of Youran''s own Chuang Tzu come to pay the bills. When people heard that leisurely gave birth to his eldest son, they naturally gave him a gift. Leisurely and busy for more than half a month.


    On this day, Shen Tian sent a post to leisurely, saying that he had not seen her for a long time. Leisurely asks Lin''s mother to take care of Kang Tai for her. She dresses up and goes to the palace by car.


    It''s no big deal for Shen Tian to find her, just to ask her something about production. Leisurely thought that she might have some prenatal fear, so she comforted, "lady, don''t worry. It''s not as difficult to have a baby as others say. At least my wife was born very quickly. It took less than an hour. The empress often day, might as well more in the room around, how many activities a little, when the birth can be more smoothly


    Shen Tian frowned. "The doctor has said that, but I feel terrible when I move. So I don''t dare to act." Leisurely see beside no outsider, point to oneself pubic bone position "Niang Niang but this place ache?"


    Shen Tian nods. This place is a bit too awkward. She is not easy to ask the doctor. The bigger the stomach is, the more severe the pain is. So she wants to ask the experienced doctor leisurely. Leisurely said with a smile, "don''t worry about me. My wife was in pain at that time. I asked her mother. She said eight of the ten pregnant women were in pain. Just because of the child''s oppression in her stomach, she doesn''t have to worry too much. But if you can take a few steps, you have to take a few steps. The courtiers'' wives came from the countryside. There were many women in the countryside who gave birth in the fields, and few had difficulty in giving birth. It is because of their constant daily work that they produce faster. Naturally, the body of empress Qian Jin can''t be compared with them, but it''s OK to take a few more steps on weekdays. "


    Xu is because she is soon pregnant after hearing leisurely''s words. Shen Tian now has an inexplicable trust in her. In fact, no one may have said these words to her, but she always held a skeptical attitude. Now after listening to leisurely words, she nodded. Thinking of the child, Shen Tian asked with a smile, "I heard from my mother that your son is white and fat. He is very popular. Why didn''t he bring him here today?" Leisurely smile back to the way "the child is still small, will cry a while, afraid of noisy empress headache.". When he''s older, he''ll bring it to the empress


    They talk about each other for a while. Shen Tian wants to keep her for lunch, but he refuses to keep her in mind. Shen Tian didn''t force her to stay either. She asked someone to prepare some gifts and Haosheng sent her away.


    At leisurely home, Kangjian was crying and her face was red. Leisurely could not change clothes, washed hands with soap, and held the baby in his arms. Strange to say, the little fat baby, who had been crying loudly, was quiet in her arms as soon as she arrived. Crying red eyes blinking, blinking at leisurely, seems to be accusing her of leaving her to go out alone. Leisurely looking at his son''s big black and white eyes, I feel that my heart is about to melt. He fell asleep and put him on the bed. Then he changed his home clothes.


    Lin''s mother looked at her grandson for a while and said with a smile, "this smelly boy is really a villain! I woke up for the first time, drank some milk and went to sleep again. The second time I wake up, I don''t eat or drink. If anyone hugs me and cries, it''s like someone pinches him. Fortunately, you came back earlier, or you won''t overturn the roof. "


    Leisurely smile way "child, wait a little bit older good." Looking at her mother these days busy inside and outside all have black eyes, quickly said, "I see mother spirit is not good, do you want to go to sleep first?"


    Lin''s mother waved her hand and said, "I can''t sleep. Now it''s short. I can''t sleep in the daytime and at night."


    Leisurely personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Lin''s mother. "Since I''ve been in confinement, my mother has been running at both ends every day, but she''s tired, isn''t she? Now I''m out of the confinement, my mother is at home to have a good rest, and I don''t have to run here every day. In case you are tired out again, my brother and I will be distressed. "

 Chapter 160

    These days, she has to take care of her daughter, worry about her son''s marriage, and be busy with the Mid Autumn Festival. After all, she was no older than when she was young, so she didn''t refuse to listen to her daughter''s words and stayed at home for two days. But after two days of not seeing Kangtai, Lin''s mother was so flustered that she often came to visit her daughter and grandson.


    This year''s weather is particularly cold, October 8 under the first snow in early winter. Although the snow is not very thick, it is also white in the distance. It''s been a long time waiting for the snow inside and outside the imperial court. Sure enough, on the day of the snow, the emperor waved his pen and decided to lead the civil and military officials and the royal family members to go hunting in the Yangtian mountain paddock on the 10th day of October.


    As an example, as the wife of the third grade official, leisurely is qualified to participate in this hunting activity. But Kangtai is still young. In winter, she doesn''t have much interest in outdoor sports. She thinks it''s more reliable to stay at home with the heater and children.


    In the palace, all the favoured concubines tried to follow. Only the empress dowager, who was not willing to move, stayed. Han worried about her daughter who was about to give birth, so she did not follow her to the paddock. After Feng''s concubine pestered the king of Liang for several days, the king of Liang agreed to take her.


    At the beginning of the hunting activities, everything was as usual. We all depended on our abilities to hunt animals, so as to show our bravery in front of the emperor. Who would have thought that this day, when Longde emperor took people to chase a silver wolf, he was unfortunately attacked by a pack of wolves. Most of the guards around him had just been left behind by him, and there were only a few guards left. Although these people were strong, they could not stand the wolf pack. There were a large number of wolves. In a moment, they were able to protect lundeti and were not injured. When several people couldn''t support it, they shot a few arrows from the nearby dense forest and knocked down several wolves. Longde Di was overjoyed and rode forward a few steps. Just before he spoke, the silver wolf suddenly stretched out its claws and ran to his face. Lundeti didn''t notice his back to the silver wolf. When he felt uneasy, the silver wolf''s claws had reached behind his head. The bodyguards wanted to get out of the siege, but they were too far away. At the critical moment, another arrow "whooshed" through the head of the silver wolf. The silver wolf fell to the ground and died with a face full of reluctance.


    The emperor turned his head and looked at the silver wolf on the ground. Then he felt that he was in a cold sweat. Without the leader, the wolves were in chaos, and soon they were strangled. At this time, two teenagers in black riding clothes came out from the deep forest. Qi Qi went to Longde Di and knelt down and said, "long live the emperor, long live the emperor."


    Long de Di thought it would be a general. When he had a close look, one of the two men in front of him was Lin Enron, the Hanlin servant who often served around him. "I used to know that Enron had the talent of No.1 scholar, but I didn''t expect that archery was also so good. It''s not too much to say that you can''t walk through a hundred steps."


    Lin Enron said modestly, "the Lord praised me. When I was young and poor, I often relied on hunting to supplement my family. Therefore, I practiced archery for several years. I can''t be praised by the Lord." Emperor Longde twirled his beard. "Aiqing doesn''t have to be polite. With this skill just now, you can be called both civil and martial arts." Then he looked at some familiar teenagers around him and asked, "what is this?"


    Fang Xinjian quickly bowed his head and said, "I''m Fang Xinjian, the commander of Siping yunqi."


    Longde emperor suddenly realized, "it''s Fang Aiqing''s son. Last time I saw you, I was half a boy. Now I''m so tall. It''s extraordinary to have such archery at a young age, but it has the wind of being a father. Why do I think I haven''t seen you for years? "


    Fang Xinjian said, "ministers only have empty posts, and dare not enter the palace without imperial edicts."


    Emperor Longde nodded clearly, "in this case, you should go to the forbidden army of Qianqing palace to be a general manager. Your father is fighting for his country. That time your sister was wronged and was granted the title of princess, but your title has not been promoted. Let''s raise it together this time. "


    Fang Xinjian immediately kowtowed her thanks.


    At this time, a large number of guards and attendants who had just been left behind by Lund Di rushed over. The crowd saw a large number of wolf bodies lying on the ground, and then looked at the few guards with colors hanging around Longde. Longde emperor waved his hand. "Just now, thanks to their heartfelt guardians, they asked the imperial doctor to give them careful treatment, and each of them was rewarded with 100 taels of gold." When this happened, Emperor Lunde lost his interest in hunting for a while, so he took the people back to the big tent.


    At this time, we have heard about Lund Di being besieged by wolves. Empress dowagers, princes, imperial families, civil and military officials came to visit one after another. When it was known that Lin Enron had killed the silver wolf who rushed to Lunde, the empress first took the lead in rewarding him, and other concubines and princes also offered generous rewards.


    On the next day, Emperor Longde formally asked people to draw up a decree. Enron, who had the greatest credit, was promoted to the official fourth grade Minister of the Chinese Academy of letters. He rewarded five hundred taels of gold and some treasures. Fang Xinjian''s title was promoted from yunqidu captain of the fourth grade to the first-class light truck captain of the third grade, and he was given a real job as commander-in-chief of the fifth grade Imperial Guard, with a reward of 100 taels of gold. The other guards present had their own promotions and rewards.


    When this happened, everyone worried about the safety of the emperor and his relatives, and urged the emperor to return to the palace as soon as possible. Longde Emperor himself also lost interest, on the one hand let people pack things to prepare to return to Beijing, on the other hand sent dark Wei to investigate this matter carefully. This paddock is a royal paddock. Before winter hunting every year, a special person will drive and shoot the large beasts in advance. Normally, there would not be such a ferocious wolf pack, but this time it happened that the wolf pack appeared. Not to mention, the silver wolf is suspicious now.


    The Empress Dowager heard that her son met the wolves in the paddock. She was also very anxious in the palace. Seeing that emperor Longde was so easy to come back, she was relieved. She took the emperor''s hand and said, "I''ve heard that you are deliberately throwing away the wolves you met by the bodyguard. Don''t be so reckless in the future. You are the king of a country. If you have any mistakes, how can you deal with them? "


    Longde emperor quickly appeased "mother rest assured, son was taught a lesson, will never be like this again."


    While the mother and son were talking, they saw a happy face from the palace saying, "congratulations to the Empress Dowager and the emperor. Princess Liang has just given birth to a pair of twins. All three of them are safe and healthy."

 Chapter 161

    After hearing this, the mother and the son were very happy. Since the beginning of the Dakang Dynasty, there have been no twins in the royal family, let alone the dragon and Phoenix twins with excellent omens. As a result, with a wave of his hand, all kinds of precious reward water generally entered the palace of King Liang, and the empress naturally followed suit. For a moment, Shen Tian was in the limelight, and the rest of the concubines in the harem, no matter how hateful they were, would give a big gift with a smile on their face.


    The Crown Princess and all the princesses also sent congratulatory gifts one after another. Although they were all congratulatory on the face, they had their own thoughts in private. The princess looked at her frail eldest son, touched her stomach again, and sighed softly.


    When Princess Zhou heard the news, she was practicing calligraphy. She thought of her child who had died before she was born. Tears welled up in her eyes. She raised her head and blinked, forcing her tears back. He said in a soft voice, "the twins of dragon and Phoenix are rare. Prepare a big gift for five younger brothers and sisters."


    A servant girl agreed to go down. Princess Zhou crumpled the paper and threw it into the basket. Another servant girl beside her saw this, took a handkerchief and soaked it in warm water to help her clean her hands. "Now that even the princess of Liang has children, it''s better for her to be soft with her royal highness. It''s better to have one of her own, regardless of men or women."


    Princess Zhou sneered, "he deserves me to have a baby for him, but it''s time to have a baby by his side."


    The servant girl thought that her Princess had figured it out. Just as she was about to smile, she turned around and told her a few words in her ear. The servant girl frowned and said, "why don''t you give birth to one of your own if you want to have a child?"


    Princess Zhou looked at Dankou with her hands painted red. "He almost killed me for the sake of a bitch who caused me abortion. Can you still expect me to beg for mercy from him?" The servant girl saw the princess''s red eyes and thought of the grievances her master had suffered before. If the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager were not on her master''s side, he would not know how to be domineering. Now that the princess doesn''t want to bow her head, that''s it.


    And after Shen Tian''s safe production, a stone in his chest finally landed safely. Even the Shen family were very happy. With this pair of twins, Shen Tian had a firm foothold in the palace of King Liang.


    Liang''s eldest son and eldest daughter, the wash three, full moon and other banquets are naturally grand incomparable. On the other hand, the Lin family was promoted to a higher position because of their contributions to the rescue of Enron, and their relatives and friends came to congratulate them. Some people who wanted to marry the Lin family regretted that they should not have hesitated when they knew that Lin Zhuangyuan''s fortune was so good. Now an orphan girl picked it up.


    Now Lin''s mother can''t care to make friends with these people. She''s busy packing up and preparing to give the bride price to her future daughter-in-law on the 26th. Who said that her daughter-in-law''s life is not good, it''s not long after the appointment, her son''s job which hasn''t been moved for several years has been promoted to the fourth grade? With all kinds of treasures from the royal family and five hundred taels of gold, Lin''s mother was so rich that she was happy to give her future daughter-in-law a long face.


    On the 24th, Mrs. Lin first went to the matchmaker''s house in Jinxiang to show Mrs. Feng the gift list. Mr. Feng looked at the gift list several times heavier than he thought, and then said with a smile, "the Lin family really has a heart. I''m not dissatisfied any more."


    When the matchmaker saw that there was no problem, he went back and told mother Lin. On the 26th day, Enron wore a brand-new four grade official uniform and took a group of servants to deliver the bride price to the Marquis of Jinxiang.


    The Marquis''s house in Jinxiang has long been under the control of old lady Feng. Those people who were in the way were directly driven to a house in the back street by her, so no one came to make trouble. The guests who came to see the betrothal gifts from the Lin family were very rich. The betrothal money alone was 300 taels of gold and 2000 taels of silver. With all kinds of headgear, clothes, cloth, tea, wine and fruit, there are all kinds of things, and many of them are useful at first sight. When I think of Enron''s success in rescuing and driving, I can''t help but smack my tongue. I never thought that old lady Feng''s eyes were so old and hot, and she decided to marry her granddaughter early. With the help of this rescue, as long as Lin Enron didn''t want to rebel in his life, he would be able to prosper in the near future. Everyone thought clearly and went to flatter Zhuang Shu one after another. They all made up their mind to add more makeup. Leisurely is now out to walk, people no longer dare to look down on her, after all, her mother''s brother is now really standing up. Even the children of many officialdom families can achieve the four grades. What''s more, Enron''s position is extremely eye-catching. The Minister of Zhongshu, the training camp of the Prime Minister of the Dakang Dynasty. No prime minister in the Dakang Dynasty had ever been a prime minister. Although he did not necessarily become a prime minister, he mostly sat in a high position. Only the emperor has the right to appoint or remove this position. In other words, only the emperor''s confidants can do it.


    Fortunately, Enron was young and mature. Instead of being arrogant, Enron became more modest and low-key. He wrote a letter to send back to the clan, hoping that the clan leader would restrain the children of the clan and not be domineering because of his promotion. He will not tolerate the misconduct of a clansman under his name.


    Lin''s family inherited for hundreds of years, so it was easy to produce such a champion, and now he is a senior official of zhengsipin. Although Enron was only an official in the capital, they also benefited a lot in the village. Many yamen officers deliberately avoid their villages when they come down to exploit them. There are more people studying hard in the clan, and it is easier for the children of the clan to talk to each other.


    In addition to this letter, Enron sent back 1000 taels of silver to buy a sacrificial field. The income from the sacrificial field was used to build a school, in which all the Lin family''s children could study for free. The clan leader of the Lin family was a visionary. Seeing Enron''s arrangement, he was very satisfied. I hastened to invite the elders and uncle Lin to discuss these matters.


    Over time, everything has gradually calmed down. But how many undercurrents are hidden under the calm appearance?


    Two months later, Princess Zhou looked at the maid kneeling in front of her and asked, "what you just said is true?"


    The servant girl shrunk. "I dare not lie. Please spare my life."


    Princess Zhou looked at the woman beside her and said, "you have no eyesight, but you still don''t help the girl up. Then I''ll take my post to the Tai hospital and invite a Tai doctor to come here so that I can feel the pulse of the butterfly handle. "

 Chapter 162

    After a while, the imperial doctor came to see the pulse and said, "back to the princess, this lady is really two months pregnant." Princess Zhou nodded and sent the doctor away with a top seal.


    Looking at the trembling servant girl in front of you, she said, "since you are pregnant, it''s not easy to get along in the servant room. I''ll take out the cross courtyard next to the osmanthus garden and give it to you. Your surname is Zhang. I''ll call it Zhang Ji for the time being. I''ll follow my wife''s rules. If you give birth to a prince in peace, I''ll send you a letter


    Butterfly quickly bow down "maidservant thank Niang grace."


    Princess Zhou ordered people to help her up. "You are pregnant now. Everything is about the baby in your stomach. These empty gifts will be avoided later. Before you give birth, stay in your own yard and wait for birth. You don''t have to come to ask for help. "


    Caidie thought that the princess would not like to know that she was pregnant. Now she is flattered to see that the princess treats her so gently. She didn''t worry that the princess would be bad for her. Now there are four concubines and two concubines in the palace, which shows that the princess will not attack the concubines.


    What she thought was right. Princess Zhou never disdained to attack her children. The child is innocent. No matter how much she hates King Zhou, she won''t take the initiative to attack the child. If you want to move, move that disaster. As for the originator of her son''s death, she would not let that person go even if she was a ghost.


    In the evening, when the king of Zhou returned to the palace, he heard that a servant girl who was waiting for him in the study was pregnant. He had several children. He didn''t have much surprise. He just asked people to send something. I went to Wei''s yard, but I lost the butterfly who had been waiting in the room for a long time.


    It is said that the king of Zhou went to the yard of Wei''s concubine. With a faint smile, the princess of Zhou said, "what about the lamb chop soup I made in the kitchen?"


    The servant girl replied, "it''s stewed."


    Princess Zhou said, "it''s a bit cold today. You can warm it up by drinking some mutton soup. Let the kitchen send one to every yard. Then there will be watermelons sent from the other side of the South China Sea to each hospital, which will be divided according to the rules. " The servant girl agreed to go, thinking that the princess was really virtuous. The Lord treated her so slowly, and she was so considerate. But I didn''t see the cold light in Princess Zhou''s eyes.


    Shen Ze is not often at home, and some things in his hand are also handed over to leisurely. Every day, in addition to the housekeeper, leisurely also goes to the Marquis''s house and the government''s house to say hello. Han also deliberately asked her to help with some ethnic food. Shen Ying and Shen Lian''s marriage is close, and she sometimes goes to greet them. Her younger brother also wants to get married, and she often takes her children back to her mother''s home to help her. I just don''t think I have enough time all day. I wish I could divide the day into two days.


    In the twinkling of an eye, it''s the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month. On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the bride gives her dowry. On the fourth day of junior high school, all the Lin family''s close relatives came to attend Enron''s wedding. They are all close relatives. It''s natural to be very happy when we haven''t seen each other for a long time.


    Jinxiang Hou house, Zhuang Shu''s dowry is also well prepared.


    Although Zhuang Shu''s parents died, Zhuang''s father had saved a lot of money for more than ten years as an official. In order to get the custody of her daughter, Mrs. Zhuang gave up most of her father''s property, but in the end she left more than 20000 taels of property to her daughter. When Mrs. Zhuang got married in those years, she was also a serious red makeup. She also managed well. In more than ten years, she consumed more than 100000 taels of silk cloth, such as Grange shop, and some precious headgear. In addition to the private silver and land property that Mrs. Feng privately added to her granddaughter, Zhuang Shu''s dowry was more than 200000 yuan, which was no worse than Shen Tian''s. Ridiculous, many people just think that Zhuang Shu''s parents are dead, and the Marquis''s office in Jinxiang is in decline. They didn''t expect that Zhuang Shu would have so many dowries. But Zhuang Shu does not want to show off her wealth, so there are only 96 dowries on the table. But the ninety-six lifts were full, and the dowry box couldn''t even be put in. This hasn''t put Zhuang Shu''s daily utensils and former clothes into it. If you add old things, I''m afraid you can''t even lift them.


    Mrs. Feng took the opportunity to put some of her own body into her granddaughter''s dowry. After all, this is the only descendant of her blood in the world. She doesn''t love Zhuang Shu. Who does she love? As for the things of the Feng family, which belong to the property of the Marquis of Jinxiang, she disdains to move them and leaves them to Feng Bo. But she can give her own things to whoever she wants, and who can manage them? If she is filial, she is willing to show her ideas to them. If she wants to be good after taking advantage of them, don''t blame her for being unkind. Horizontal and vertical are half of the body into the earth, what else terrible? On the fifth day of junior high school, all the people inside and outside the Lin family were cleaned up. Red lanterns were hung outside the gate and under the corridor, and red couplets were pasted on the doorframe. Uncle Lin''s family and two uncles are all family members. Not to mention that Lin''s family is full, leisurely''s family also includes aunt''s family, tingran''s family and Xiuyun''s family.


    I haven''t seen you for a long time. At the beginning of those who were not married, careful thinking has long been diffused in the wind with the passage of time, the kind of warmth that only blood relatives have. Leisurely sigh again, no wonder that women only know the benefits of their parents when they become a family.


    Leisurely''s second uncle and big cousin both won the Ju people''s examination the year before last, and the Yang family became a scholarly family in the village. Xiuyun also married a classmate''s son of her father. Now her husband also has the reputation of a scholar. As soon as she entered the family, she gave birth to a big fat boy. Her mother''s family is tough and she has a private family. She is very proud in her mother-in-law''s family.


    Tingran, though with a straight temper, gave birth to a daughter in the first child, and two sisters-in-law made it clear and secret that she had a bad relationship with her mother-in-law. But her mother-in-law has Enron, an official cousin, and leisurely, a cousin. Her mother-in-law does not dare to neglect her very much. Now her mother-in-law''s brothers have separated their families. Her mother-in-law is partial and only gives them more than ten mu of land and twenty liang of silver, less than one-third of their family property. Gas tingran took out his fifty Liang dowry silver, in the village near his mother''s village, the end of the village built a two into the house of green bricks and black tiles. Her husband took advantage of the Yue''s family and became a teacher of enlightenment in the school of Lin''s village. She received two liang of silver every month. Now her father-in-law is living with her eldest brother-in-law. She doesn''t have to worry about it. She has a dowry field and embroidery income, and she has a good life.


    See their two little sisters are living well, leisurely also at ease.

 Chapter 163

    On the other side of the Marquis''s house in Jinxiang, the ladies who came to add their dowries were all amazed when they saw the dowry all over the place. Those red sandalwood and yellow pear furniture and pearly head, not to mention, are naturally superior things. Those who have insight have long thought that Mrs. Feng''s self-cultivation alone can also buy a good dowry for her granddaughter. But I didn''t expect that there were so many land properties and shops that Zhuang Shu married. Looking at the rubble and bricks, there were ten thousand mu of Guangliang farmland and twelve shops. The one who is good at calculating in his heart was surprised. With the head of the furniture, the girl''s dowry must be as much as 100000. If everyone knows that it''s Mrs. Feng and Zhuang Shu who deliberately keep a low profile and hide the consequences of part of the dowry, I really don''t know how many people are going to destroy their intestines.


    Mrs. Feng''s daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law of Fengguo are a little surprised. They knew that Zhuang Shu''s dowry was so rich. How good would it be to have listened to the old lady''s words and hired her for her young son? Although their family was a clan, their titles were inferior from generation to generation, and the descendants of their great grandparents and grandfathers divided their families more. The family background of their family is similar to that of the ordinary Marquis''s family. If their descendants don''t make progress any more, they may not be as good as those newly rich people who start up with military achievements in the future.


    Not to mention how regretful some people were, when the auspicious time came, Enron brought his colleagues and brothers from the Imperial Academy to urge them to make up. When Mrs. Feng heard the news, she immediately took the lead to add makeup. Naturally, what she gave her granddaughter was the best of the best. A set of red gold head with the pattern of silk inlaid with gem carved rabbit and fairy grass. The jade rabbit on it was vivid, and the dew on the fairy grass was real, which attracted people''s praise. In addition, there is also a set of suede jade wrapped with gold wire inlaid with colorful gems, which is also very exquisite. The rest were made of gold and silver or silk with hairpin rings.


    After the dowry is added and registered, the dowry can be carried away. 96 carry dowry spread, but also a mighty more than ten miles, attracted a praise.


    Dowry to the Lin family, in the courtyard of the new house all the way. People looked at the water of red sandalwood furniture and pearly gold and silver head, have appreciated. When Lin''s mother saw that her daughter-in-law''s dowry was so rich, she naturally only liked it. She doesn''t have the idea of dowry for her daughter-in-law, but will these things be passed on to her grandchildren in the future? So she was very happy.


    Looking at the boxes that are obviously bigger than ordinary dowry boxes and the bricks and rubble, and looking at the boxes of ruby and sapphire on the dowry list, I know that my sister-in-law''s dowry is not generally rich. His tens of thousands of Liang things may be a fraction of others.


    But leisurely doesn''t stick to this matter, only to see some people''s eyes flashing envy, can''t help mentioning Lin''s mother in private, "mother, it''s almost good, it''s better to put it away as soon as possible, don''t catch other people''s eyes."


    After listening to her daughter''s reminder, Lin''s mother came back from her joy. She ordered people to carry all the gold, silver, jewelry and other things to the courtyard of the wing room and lock them up. The key was given to Yulan, Zhuang Shu''s maid, who came to deliver makeup.


    But I don''t know that there are many people who have married Zhuang Shu in private, in order to make a fortune.


    On the sixth day of the lunar new year, there is no need to go into details. Enron''s youth''s success and the happiness of his bridal chamber are naturally full of spirit and complacency.


    After his brother''s marriage, Shen Ying and Shen Lian got married on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month and the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month. Today, the Shen family''s branch in Beijing is the most expensive one in addition to Zhongguo government. Many old relatives also take this opportunity to visit her home. Leisurely not only helps to do some chores in the government, but also takes time to receive greetings according to Shen Ze''s and Han''s suggestions.


    Different from the Shen family immersed in the festive atmosphere, Qianqing palace is heavy and solemn at the moment. Longde Di looked at the memorial in his hand and asked in a cold voice, "is everything clear?"


    Kneeling in the shadow of a man in black nodded, should be "subordinates dare not deceive the emperor."


    Emperor Longde threw the memorial to the imperial case and hummed coldly, "this king of Linjiang is usually very timid, but he didn''t expect to be so timid. I remember that he didn''t have much private property. Where did he get the money to support these private soldiers? " The man in black replied, "according to the secret investigation of his subordinates, the concubine Mu side, who was favored by the king of Linjiang, came from the rich merchant Mu''s family in Jinling. The Mu family has been engaged in sea trade business for a hundred years. In recent years, Linjiang king has been secretly supporting the Mu family. He has done a lot of smuggling and has accumulated a lot of wealth. Most of this wealth was given to Linjiang king by the Mu family to support him and attract soldiers. "


    Emperor Longde frowned: "when mu Jiazu founded the country, he also supported Gaozu, so he allowed his family to inherit for a hundred years. Master Mu is not a fool. How can he do this? "


    The man in black hesitated for a moment and said, "the king of Linjiang once promised to give it to the Mu family. If one day he ascended Dabao, he would like to give it back to the Mu family."


    With these words, Mu de Di angrily broke the emerald Paperweight on the table into two parts. "This king of Linjiang, his tone is not small." Fortunately, as the leader of a country, Longde''s cultivation of Qi was good. After venting, he quickly calmed down. "Now it''s the end of the year. I don''t want to have more twists and turns at this time. And without sufficient evidence, I can''t do anything to Linjiang king. You first secretly send people to monitor Linjiang palace and Mu family, as well as their frequent contacts with the family. If I want to have solid evidence, I will uproot the officials who conspired against me in the next few years. "


    It''s just that the world is hard to predict, and fate often disturbs your steps invisibly. If Longde emperor knew that his hesitation would lead to such a painful price, he would strangle Linjiang king as soon as possible.


    On the 23rd of December, Emperor Longde led the prince, the kings and the civil and military officials to the imperial mausoleum for a sacrificial ceremony. Royal Sacrifice has always been strict and complicated.


    From greeting God to sending God, it took nearly two hours. When the ceremony was finished, lundeti was just relieved. As he was preparing to drive back to the palace, many arrows came out of the air. Unprepared, some of the attendants around him fell to the ground.


    After being stunned for a moment, they all yelled, "assassin, escort." Then there will be guards to protect the emperor and the prince.


    Emperor Longde, who had been in the upper position for a long time, naturally had a lot of courage and insight. At the moment, he asked, "what about the guards who came here? Where''s Xia Zhao? Send someone to the capital camp as soon as possible to help. "

 Chapter 164

    Just at this time, a man in the clothes of the imperial guards, covered with blood, stumbled in from the outside and said, "tell the emperor that Zhou Yu, the right commander of the imperial guards, suddenly rebelled and killed Xia Zhao. Liu Xuansheng, the commander, led his subordinates to fight back. Now they can only stop the rebels outside the wall of the imperial mausoleum. Please make a quick decision. " It''s not others who are here to report. It''s Mr. long de Di''s newly promoted Qian Zong Fang Xin Jian.


    Once this was said, the crowd was in an uproar.


    Long de Di frowned, "how many people in the guard have rebelled?"


    Fang Xinjian bowed her head and said, "there are 30000 guards in total. This time, a total of 10000 people have been sent to drive here, and nearly 5000 of them have rebelled."


    Emperor Longde was very angry and laughed, "good, very good. I didn''t know that so many people were dissatisfied with themselves."


    Jiang Shi, the first minister of the cabinet, advised that "it''s not too late to clean up the mess. Now the situation is urgent. I''d like to invite the emperor, the prince and the princes to the main hall to stay out of the limelight. It''s not too late to make plans when reinforcements from the capital come. "


    Under such circumstances, Emperor Longde could not sit still. He turned his head and looked at the prince and the princes. "If any of you are afraid, you can go to the main hall first." The father did not leave. How could they leave first.


    The prince replied, "as the king of a country, his father''s status is precious. Naturally, he can''t go into danger. His son''s ministers are willing to lead the forbidden army to protect him." The rest of the people also urged emperor Longde, the so-called "son of a thousand gold" class.


    At this time, another wave of arrows came one after another. The first one to bear the brunt was Emperor Longde. Although many guards sacrificed their lives to save him, there was still an arrow flying straight at emperor Longde. At the critical moment, Liang Wang, who was standing on the side of emperor Longde, was pushed by someone to block him, and the arrow was inserted obliquely on his right shoulder. Emperor Longde immediately sent someone to take the king to the main hall for medical treatment. Fortunately, when the emperor went out, the imperial doctors were always on the side to prevent accidents.


    The arrow was shot from a watchtower on the left in front of the imperial mausoleum. It was originally the place where the imperial mausoleum guards investigated the enemy''s situation, but now it was used by the rebels.


    Although the ministers were very worried and frightened, they still kept Lund emperor in the center for fear that they would have another wave of arrows. Fortunately, the lookout tower is hundreds of meters away from the imperial mausoleum. The rebels use crossbows, and they can only send out seven or eight arrows at a time. If not, I''m afraid these people here would have been shot to death.


    This time, when they advised him to go back to the main hall for a while, he didn''t refuse. The main hall is the front hall of Fengxian hall. Since it is a royal ancestral hall, the construction is magnificent. Today, there are hundreds of princes and ministers, plus nearly 100 bodyguards around the emperor, who can also stay away for a while.


    At this time, another guard came to report that the rebels suddenly had a group of people dressed in alien costumes to help, and the soldiers outside were about to lose their guard. Hearing the speech, people were surprised. What about the foreign clothes? Who has the courage to conspire against and revolt and collude with other people.


    But now there is no time to think about these, Lund Di said without thinking, "let the rest of the guards retreat to the imperial mausoleum, close the gate of the imperial mausoleum, and wait for the reinforcements to come." In the twinkling of an eye, I saw Lin Enron in the minister. Thinking of his ability to shoot silver wolf last time, I ordered him and Fang Xinjian to take the imperial edict and tiger amulet to lead ten bodyguards to break through the encirclement from the back mountain and send reinforcements to the capital camp.


    At this time, the capital was in chaos.


    Because the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is also the traditional "small year" of the people, the emperor took the Royal males to sacrifice. The Empress Dowager set up a family dinner in Chonghua palace. The crown princess, princesses and other princesses went to the dinner without mentioning it.


    Because the Empress Dowager specially named to see the twins, Shen Tian brought them all. Those who came to the banquet were all close relatives of the royal family. Shen Tian didn''t take the children out of the house before. Most of them met the children for the first time. Two month old baby has grown white, brother and sister have the same eyebrows. The Empress Dowager said with a smile, "if it''s not for the different color of swaddling clothes, you can''t tell by looking at your face." Shen Tian replied, "I''ve had some experience since I''ve seen it for a long time. My brother is more lively and my sister is quiet. The way the two children yawn is not the same at all. "


    The Empress Dowager laughs, "if I hear you say that, I will know how devoted you are. Although we royal children were born with countless nannies and maids around us, it''s more appropriate for our mother to care. The child is always with the people under the nursing mother. What''s the advantage of forming a arrogant or shrinking quail


    The crowd could only agree one after another, and the scene was a little cold for a moment. The empress said with a smile, "the empress just praised the fifth daughter-in-law for a long time, but she didn''t see any reward. Is it something she loves? If this is the case, the daughter-in-law will give something for the mother and the queen, and the mother and the queen will not be willing to give up. "


    One sentence made the Empress Dowager laugh, pointed to the queen and said, "you are the only monkey in the palace who dares to arrange the AI family like this. The AI family has been ready for a long time. But as a mother, you can''t be stingy. If you don''t bring out some good things, you will not be able to mourn your family. "


    Then the Empress Dowager asked the palace maids to hold out a brocade box, pointed to the biggest one and said, "this is for the fifth daughter-in-law. Don''t blame me for loving her. This time, she has made great achievements. Our royal lineage has always been thin. The fifth daughter-in-law has added two children, so I will give her more. In time, I''ll give you a generous reward if you have a legitimate child. "


    As soon as the words came to an end, the palace maids presented the brocade boxes one by one to the Crown Princess and all the princesses. Except that the size of the brocade boxes of the crown princess was similar to that of Shen Tian, all the other princesses and concubines got the same size boxes, even the designs and colors were the same with gold peony patterns.


    The prince and the princess said first, "five younger brothers and sisters should give us a generous reward for our royal family''s purchase. Our sisters in law are only happy. In a word, sun''s daughter-in-law envies the belly of five younger brothers and sisters even if she doesn''t admire this idea. " When the crown princess grew up, she was intrigued. The child was born prematurely and frail. She also hurt her body. I''m afraid it''s hard for her offspring to benefit. Fortunately, she has always been an open-minded, see Shen Tian gave birth to a pair of twins, although extremely envious, but did not give birth to half of the heart of jealousy, just can''t help feeling his fate is not good.


    The Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager have been observing for many years and carefully selecting the crown princess. Naturally, their character and bearing are extraordinary. They have always been liked by them. The empress knew what was on her mind. She patted her hand gently to appease her. Her eyes swept past Princess Zhou.

 Chapter 165

    The princess was stunned, and then thought that she had a son, but Princess Zhou didn''t even have a daughter. The king of Zhou had always been a generous man. He didn''t respect his wife as much as the prince. The two children of the east palace were several years younger than his eldest son. In fact, the situation of Princess Zhou is much more embarrassing. People are like this. No matter how bad their situation is, as long as they see people who are worse than their own situation, their hearts will be easily cured. Obviously, the idea of the princess was cured after seeing Princess Zhou.


    Princess Zhou did not feel embarrassed for her children at all. Although the four sons and two daughters in the palace were all concubines, Princess Zhou was very strict with their upbringing. Except for the eldest son of concubine Wei, the rules of the other children are very good.


    The Empress Dowager is the most important concubine. When she saw the children in the palace of King Zhou, she said to Princess Zhou, "I''m sorry to see that these children are well bred. It can be seen that you''ve spent a lot of effort. Old four is not clear. Thanks to your control, King Zhou''s house has some rules. In the future, it''s up to you to decide what''s going on in the palace. Anyone who dares to say anything more, let her come to the sad family. " Having said that, he took a look at Princess Wei, who was the niece of Princess Wei''s family. It''s just a commoner girl with bad conduct. If it wasn''t for Princess Wei''s intercession in front of the emperor, what could she do? Niece Xiao Gu, aunt nephew two are not what good, used to seduce people!


    The imperial concubine of Wei sees empress dowager''s vision in the heart a tight, she also has bitterness to say not good. My mother''s brother is not clear. When Roche was there, Wu''an Bofu was just making a mess at home. Since Luo Shi and Wu Anbo left the mansion, Wu Anbo was more and more confused. With the title of Prince, uncle and uncle, the elder brother had no noble daughter to marry, and finally he could only marry the daughter of a small official. However, this Xuxian is too young and insightful to suppress the evil spirits of Wu''an''s sons. In recent years, Wu''an''s mansion has made a lot of trouble. If she had not dealt with the most arrogant aunts of her elder brother''s family, she would have become a laughing stock in Beijing. Even now, there are many concubines in the palace who laugh at her openly and secretly about her mother''s family.


    Wei Ruxia, who used to have a good relationship with her daughter, is the side concubine in the palace of King Zhou. Since her daughter went to baiyun temple to chant Buddhist scriptures, this child often went to visit her daughter. I thought she was sincere. I wanted to find a good family for her. I didn''t expect that this girl had a big heart. She didn''t want to be a good housewife. She had to be a side room. She wanted to hook up with her son. Fortunately, his son is a man with good fortune. He is not confused by her, so he just takes her to win over the king of Zhou. King Zhou''s mother''s position is not high. Originally, he was fond of planning for her life, so he might not be able to compete for the position of imperial concubine for her. Just this wench also too sink not to live the spirit, haven''t how, make of all over the city know. How could the royal family want a girl with such a bad reputation to be their daughter-in-law. If it wasn''t for him to give up his old face to ask the emperor, I''m afraid that even a side imperial concubine can''t do it. She still remembers the words that the empress advised the emperor at the beginning: "whether it''s a concubine or a side concubine, it''s just a concubine''s room, that is, the lack of moral character will come from the control of a regular concubine. At any rate, Miss Wei is also the niece of empress Wei. The emperor wants to give some dignity to Princess Wei and the eldest prince. She should also be praised


    This sounds like a plea for her, but it successfully provoked the emperor''s dissatisfaction with their mother and son. The emperor reprimanded her for not saying anything, and the position she had agreed to mention was not settled. Think of here, Wei Fei can''t help secretly bite silver teeth, and so on that day my son ascended the throne, the first to clean up is the queen you.


    Not to mention how upset she was in her heart, she had to smile as usual and deal with others.


    Between talking and laughing, it soon arrived at noon, and the palace people arranged the banquet. All the people took their seats one after another. Before the dishes were ready, a servant ran in and said, "tell the Empress Dowager that something is wrong. Someone from the city guards rebelled and killed them in the palace. Now they have entered the Meridian Gate and are stopped by the palace guards near the Jinshui Bridge."


    On hearing this, the hall, which was just talking and laughing, was immediately flustered, and all of them lost their voice and exclaimed.


    The Empress Dowager was really surprised, but when she thought of what the emperor had said to her about the king of Linjiang, she had a plan in her heart, and soon became stable. "How many rebels are there? How many bodyguards are on duty in the palace now? "


    This servant is just a poor eunuch. Where do you know that? The Empress Dowager sighed and said, "since people are calling, we are all in a hurry here, so we have to make dumplings. Queen, take them to the palace of cining as soon as possible. The gate of the palace is thicker. If the rebels attack, they can resist for a while. The AI family wants to go out and have a look. Who has the courage to besiege the royal family All the concubines tried their best to persuade them, but the Empress Dowager was determined to go. "Now that the rebels have come in, I''m afraid those bodyguards have lost their backbone for a while, and all the adult Royal males have gone to the imperial mausoleum. As the Empress Dowager of a country, if the AI family does not take charge of the overall situation at this time, is it difficult to wait for them to attack here? "


    Smell speech, empress empress will head Phoenix crown a pick, "mother said reasonable, son minister as Queen, at this time can not retreat, I go with mother." Then he looked at the princess and said, "you''ve always been a steady man. Now our palace will give you the care of all the maids. If you can successfully repel the rebels, it''s OK. If you can''t, you should know how to deal with it!"


    The Crown Princess bowed back and said, "don''t worry, empress. I''d rather die than surrender like a traitor." All the people trembled when they heard this. If they were attacked by the rebels, they would be responsible for their lives.


    At this time, the crown princess did not care about the position, so she ordered the palace people to invite all the women present to the main hall of cining palace. The women were frightened and had no idea in their hearts. They could only follow the steps of the palace people. Only Shen Tian stepped forward and pushed the nursing mother with two children to the crown princess. "The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager can''t be left unattended. I''ve practiced some riding and shooting skills at home, even though I''m not good at it. I''ll be on my side. This pair of children will be handed over to the crown princess. "


    The crown princess''s eyes were red and said solemnly, "don''t worry, sister-in-law. As long as I have a breath, I will protect them."

 Chapter 166

    Shen Tian nodded and couldn''t bear to look at the child again. She took off the heavy seven tailed Phoenix hairpin on her head and threw it to the ground. She picked up something on the ground and put it in her sleeve. She quickly followed the queen. The Empress Dowager met her, nodded slightly, and did not say much.


    When Princess Lezhen saw what Shen Tian had done, she turned around to follow Shen Tian''s steps and was held by concubine Wei. "Are you going to die?" Looking at her mother''s haggard face, Lezhen firmly said, "if you want to be rich, you''d better go out and have a blog than sit here waiting to die. I don''t think her daughter can earn some credit for her mother''s promotion." Finish saying, firm broke away Wei Fei''s hands, gallop to go.


    As soon as the Empress Dowager and her party arrived at the Qianqing gate, they saw the imperial guards with swords coming from general Yu Dong with a team of people. When Yu Dong saw the empress dowager, he knelt down and said, "I''ve heard that there''s a change in the palace. I''ve specially sent people to protect the Empress Dowager and your ladies."


    Yu Dong is the son of Princess Jingyang, and the Empress Dowager still trusts him. He quickly waved his hand to let him up. At this time, Shen Tian suddenly said, "I remember that you are the general of the imperial guards. Why did you come with the patrol soldiers?" As soon as the words came out, the people looked at the soldiers behind Yu Dong, and they were wearing the clothes of the imperial guards. The Empress Dowager and others were surprised, and several bodyguards who came with them quickly stood in front of them.


    Yu Dong didn''t expect that there was a flaw here. Seeing that she had been seen through, she didn''t disguise any more. She stood up with a sneer and said, "Princess Liang is worthy of being behind the door, but she has seen through. Now it''s too late to find out." Then he let his soldiers come forward to catch people.


    Although there are only a dozen bodyguards who protect the Empress Dowager and others, their Kung Fu is very good. They are not inferior to more than 100 people on the east side, and in a twinkling of an eye, they killed more than 20 people on the other side.


    When Yu Dong saw this, he took out his sword and joined the war. Unexpectedly, Yu Dong looked like a dandy. His skill was so powerful that he killed two guards on the side of the Empress Dowager in a twinkling of an eye.


    Seeing this, Shen Tian quietly takes out the things in her pocket. Lezhen, who is standing beside her, sees the things she takes out and opens her mouth wide, but moves to her side smartly to block her action.


    Yu Dongzheng is about to slash a bodyguard with a knife. Suddenly, he has a pain on his forehead. He doesn''t know where a stone is coming from. It''s hitting his right eye. Although it doesn''t hurt his eye, the blood still blocks his sight. He this Lengshen Kung Fu, and he fought a bodyguard saw immediately cut off his neck with a knife. Yu Dong didn''t expect that his dream of glory had not begun, so he was killed. His eyes widened and he fell to the ground, and his face was not reconciled.


    When the other party lost the leader, they were in chaos and had the intention to retreat. Seeing this, the Empress Dowager immediately said, "the AI family knows that you must have been deceived by the traitor before you have a rebellion. As long as you surrender immediately, the AI family will protect you from death, and today''s event will never harm your family." Hearing this, many people hesitated.


    At this time, a big black faced man in the leader''s dress was heard from the rebels saying, "brothers, don''t listen to this witch''s nonsense. The Empress Dowager and the queen are here. They have captured any of them alive. The king of Linchuan will reward them with a thousand taels of gold. What kind of beautiful girl do you have with silver? Why worry about the Yellow faced woman at home Then he took the lead in fighting.


    This guy is really a disaster. Shen Tian takes out his catapult and shoots at the black faced man. In the confusion, they were not found just now, so there was no one to guard against them. The black faced man''s martial arts is still above the East. When the stone shot at him, he heard the wind and turned slightly. The stone shot at his temple only hit him in the back of the head. He touched the blood on the back of his head and immediately stared at Shen Tian, who was doing it. He swore, "you bitch, I''ll see how I deal with you!" Then he cut it with a big knife in his hand.


    He was filled with anger, and suddenly he was extremely brave. He successively cut down the two bodyguards around him. Shen Tian sees that the big Han is attacking her. He throws his catapult away, pushes away the guard in front of him, picks up a long knife on the ground and cuts at the big Han. Shen Tian''s action is very sharp. In an instant, he is in front of the big man. Although the big man hears the movement, he happens to be entangled by a bodyguard. When he is not careful, Shen Tian cuts him in the right arm. The big man was really angry this time, and he was killed by another knife. He slashes at Shen Tian with a knife. Shen Tian tries hard to block it, but she is obviously not a big man''s opponent. She is about to die under the other''s knife. But suddenly there was a strong wind. In a moment, a whip was whipped on the man''s right arm. Rao is a big man with rough skin and thick flesh. He is determined. He can''t help but exhale in pain. His machete is also brought to the ground.


    Just at this time, Shen Tian seizes the opportunity, raises the long knife in his hand and cuts at the back of the big man. The long knife penetrates the other person''s body. The man fell on his knees and was cut off by a bodyguard.


    The rest of the rebels really lost their backbone and were wiped out by the guards around the Empress Dowager. Shen Tian''s eyes flashed brilliantly. The guards around the Empress Dowager didn''t seem to be good at it!


    At this time, the Empress Dowager and her wife came to her and asked, "are you OK, old five daughter-in-law?" Shen Tian shook his head. "It''s OK. It''s OK." Then he turned to Lezhen and said, "thank you for your help just now."


    Le Zhen nodded, "yes, you are welcome. It''s the resourcefulness and bravery of Huang''s sister-in-law that makes Le Zhen admire her. "


    The Empress Dowager said with a smile, "well, you two don''t have to be humble to each other. You are both brave and resourceful children."


    At this time, Xu Lu, the general manager of the Imperial College, came and saw that both the Empress Dowager and the queen were safe. He was immediately relieved that "thank God, the ladies are safe."


    The Empress Dowager nodded and asked, "how are the rebels exterminated?"


    Xu Lu replied, "for the time being, the guards stopped him outside the gate of Taihe, but the rebels closed the Meridian Gate. The outside guard didn''t get any news. I''m afraid they didn''t know they were coming to reinforce. There are only thousands of bodyguards on duty in the palace. Now they have lost half of them. If the rebels break through the Meridian Gate, they may not be able to hold on for long. Why don''t you let the soldiers fight their way out of the palace and escort the Empress Dowager and the other masters


    The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "my home is not safe. Where can I close it? The gate of Taihe gate was built by Gaozu himself. It''s not so easy to be broken. The most urgent thing is to report to the city guard outside the palace as soon as possible. "


    The queen frowned and said, "now that the Meridian Gate is occupied, we can''t light the beacon tower. How can we send the letter out?"

 Chapter 167

    For a moment, they couldn''t think of any good way. They could only look at each other face to face.


    Suddenly, many Kongming lanterns floated from the back palace. At this time, the festival was just the time when the northwest wind was raging. When the Kongming lantern rose into the air, it was soon dispersed outside the palace by the wind.


    The Empress Dowager praised, "I don''t know who is so smart and comes up with such a good way. In this case, it''s better to be more lively and let the palace people carry out all the fireworks and firecrackers that are ready to be set off on New Year''s Eve. "


    After hearing this, Xu Lu started to do it.


    Naturally, the people on the rebel side also saw the Kong Ming lamp in the sky. They shot down one and handed it to the leader Yu Yishui. On the cover of the Kong Ming lamp, the words "rebel invades the palace, come and rescue quickly" were written in a pen, and the Empress Dowager''s private seal was covered below.


    At this time, he didn''t know the news of his son''s death. He ordered to hold fast to the gun and prepare to attack the Taihe gate. On the other side, they sent people to shoot down the Kongming lamp in the sky.


    The archers of the rebels took bow and shot down a lot of Kongming lanterns, but some of them flew outside the Forbidden City.


    On this day, leisurely just came to the government to help Han deal with some year-end sacrifice. As soon as they were ready to have a cup of tea for a rest after lunch, they heard the news. Suddenly, many Kongming lanterns came to the sky. One of them was still in the stable in the front yard, almost lighting Ma Peng.


    Everyone frowned and went to the yard one after another. They saw many black spots flying in the sky. Some of the shorter ones can see the appearance of the Kongming lamp, and then a dense sound of firecrackers came from the northwest, and bursts of fireworks rose in the sky. Although the fireworks in the day are not as gorgeous as in the night, they are also very conspicuous.


    Han frowned and said, "the sound of firecrackers comes from the palace. Is there any trouble in the palace?"


    After hearing this, they all looked to the sky. No matter how big the people were, they also noticed the air of killing. The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became tense. After a while, Xin Su suddenly pointed to the air and said, "look, it''s fireworks flying in the sky. This fireworks has always been set off only on New Year''s Eve or when the new emperor ascended the throne. There must be something wrong in the palace. This is a warning to us."


    Han nodded and quickly asked someone to call the chief bodyguard of the palace. He said, "take the ten elite soldiers of our palace and go to the palace to find out the situation." The head of the guard promised to go, and Han ordered people to close all the doors of the house, so that all the bodyguards and servants could take the equipment to guard the door.


    Zhongguo government was one of the founding governments, and it was very close to the Forbidden City. The chief bodyguard of the palace went there for about a long time, then came back and said, "when I arrived at the gate of Dakang, the Forbidden City, I found that it was a mess and a river of blood. It was obvious that I had experienced a war. Even the guards guarding the city gate are not the usual imperial guards, but some soldiers dressed in miscellaneous clothes, among whom there are some foreign people who look like the people of Luocha. When you see that something is wrong, you don''t act rashly. Let your brothers go to Shenwu gate to check the situation. You''ll tell your wife first. "


    On hearing this, everyone was shocked. It seems that something really happened in the palace.


    Han said, "there''s something wrong in the palace. There''s no movement from the city defense army and the city protection army. There''s no one to help. There must be something wrong. But the emperor took most of the imperial guards with him, and now he has to turn to the capital camp for help. "


    Fang Xinsu said, "the capital camp is outside the city. Since there is no movement, the city guards either rebel or are eliminated. I''m afraid the gate of the city has been occupied by the rebels. I''m afraid it''s not easy for us to deliver news outside the city. "


    At this time, leisurely suddenly said, "we can fly pigeons to send messages."


    The bodyguard shook his head and said, "the capital camp is an important military area. Birds are not allowed to hover around the camp. Soldiers who guard the camp will shoot as long as they see birds." He nodded leisurely, "I naturally know that I can''t send letters to the capital camp. I can send letters to others. Emperor Han is just outside the city at the foot of Yangtian mountain." Fortunately, Lin''s mother took Zhuang Shu back to Lin''s village two days ago to prepare for ancestor worship. For a moment and a half, the rebels were afraid that they would not care about the outskirts of the city, so they were in a safer situation than themselves. She looked at Kang Tai, who was sleeping sweetly in her arms, and Shen Xi, who had just been called by Han. Although the heart is very afraid, but still strong calm to appease them.


    Han''s eyes brightened. "Yes, there is the eldest princess of Dening living on the Yangtian mountain. She is the aunt of the Emperor today. The most important thing is that the princess still has an army of women and 10000 private soldiers in her hands." Then he asked the bodyguard, "how many rebels are there in Dakang gate?"


    The bodyguard replied, "there are about a thousand people stationed outside the gate, but the Meridian Gate of the palace has been closed. We can''t see the situation inside. We don''t know how many people there are at the gate. I''ll check it now. " Then he turned and left.


    Han immediately wrote a letter in his own hand, tied it with a fragment of Kongming lamp shot down by the bodyguard, and spread it to Minghe Academy with flying pigeons.


    The Minghe academy is still immersed in a peaceful sound of reading. Han Di Shi is practicing calligraphy in the room. All of a sudden, one of his disciples took a roll of paper and handed it to him. "Sir, it''s a letter from Zhongguo government." This disciple was also a little puzzled. In broad daylight, what can''t he say in person? He also wanted to fly pigeons to deliver messages?


    Hearing this, Han was stunned. He put down his brush, took the letter and read it. He was surprised to see that the fragment of the Kongming lamp was indeed covered with the Empress Dowager''s silk screen. At the moment, I don''t care about changing clothes. "Get ready for the horse as soon as possible. I have something urgent to see the eldest princess."


    Although the disciple was strange, he did as he said.


    When Han imperial master rode to the mountain, the eldest princess of Dening had changed into a military uniform. The eldest princess, who was over 60 years old, was in her thirties because of proper maintenance. She was younger than Han imperial master. She straddled on a white horse, even more valiant, surrounded by a group of women''s army in crimson riding clothes, and her soldiers were ready to go.


    Seeing her son-in-law coming, the eldest princess of Dening quickly stopped his big gift. "OK, what time is it? There''s no need to talk about these empty gifts in case of emergency. Since you have come here, you must have got the news. "


    Even in the face of the emperor, Han imperial master has always been neither humble nor arrogant. He is always respectful to his mother-in-law and dare not put on the airs of half imperial master. At the moment, he bowed to himself and said, "yes, a letter came from the wife of my son-in-law. There is also a remnant cover of Kongming lamp released from the palace, on which there is the private seal of the Empress Dowager. It matters a lot. My son-in-law dares not delay and comes to find his highness in a hurry. "

 Chapter 168

    The eldest princess of Dening nodded, "I just received a message from the Empress Dowager. The rebels have invaded the Forbidden City, and the guards in the palace are fighting to keep them out of the Meridian Gate. But the military strength in the palace is limited, and the army in the city is now inseparable. It seems that I''m the only one who has come out in person. "


    At this time, a female general dressed in strong clothes came to reply, "if you go back to the princess, all the officers and soldiers of Yangtian mountain are dressed up. Please show me."


    The eldest Duchess of Dening came to the soldiers and said, "we''ve been fighting for thousands of days. Now some villains are making trouble, and the Empress Dowager and others are in deep trouble. We should try our best to wipe out the rebels and rescue the Empress Dowager and others. It''s an emergency. I order you to go ahead with all your strength. "


    All the people in the government house looked very heavy when they heard the news from the bodyguard. The four gates of the capital were controlled by the rebels, and each gate had three or four thousand people, although the number was not particularly large. However, the gates of the capital are made of extremely heavy iron and wood. It''s the eldest princess who brings reinforcements to prevent fire and knives. I''m afraid she won''t be able to attack for a while.


    Once the palace is conquered by the rebels, the descendants of the royal family will be in danger.


    At this time, not far from Shen''s home, two teams of people were fighting each other on Zhengyang Street. Rong Jun Wang pointed to a man in the opposite rebel army and said, "Ling sixun, the emperor treats your family well. I didn''t expect that you colluded with other people to seek rebellion."


    Ling sixun sneered, "what is not thin? My father is the eldest grandson of emperor Zhongzong. My grandfather died early, and this throne should be inherited by my father. The emperor Mu Zong who has gone is just the son of a concubine. Where is the status of my father''s son? When he was in power, he was indecisive and partial to concubines and concubines. He knew that it was not a good thing. It really insulted my Ling family


    After hearing this, the prince of Rongjun sniffed, "first the emperor and then the concubine, he still passed the throne on to his son. Instead, in order to make your elder brother the son of the world, your father let your biological mother kill his eldest son, and moved the sick imperial concubine to Chuang Tzu outside the city. Your biological mother is really a good one. "


    "Well, Qi Heng, it seems that in our childhood friendship, as long as you are subordinate to me now, I promise that you will still be prosperous and have all kinds of power, status, beauty and treasure." Ling sixun saw that there were not a few soldiers behind Qi Heng, so he began to lure him.


    "Ha ha ha ha" Qi Heng looked up at the sky and said, "don''t I have these things now?"


    "In that case, don''t blame me for being cruel." Ling sixun saw that the decoy was not successful, so he ordered his men to attack.


    According to the rules, the number of private soldiers allowed to be raised by a prince should not exceed 1000, and the royal residence of Rongjun is a king of different surnames, so it is never allowed to violate the system. The soldiers and servants he took were more than 1000 in total. Although these people were all highly trained, the more than 800 people behind Ling sixun were well-trained. It''s hard to separate the two sides from each other.


    At this time, Shen Fu''s bodyguard, who was ordered to investigate the situation, found out the situation and immediately brought more than 100 bodyguards to reinforce the Han family. They went around the alley to the back of the rebels and caught each other off guard.


    The two sides attacked back and forth, and soon wiped out most of the other side''s soldiers. Seeing that the situation was not good, Ling sixun left most of his men who were fighting and fled from an alley with dozens of soldiers. When the rest of the rebels saw that the LORD had run away, they suddenly became lax. Except for a few people who had fled, the rest of them were wiped out by the king of Rongjun.


    It''s bad luck for these people. Ling sixun and his horse were going to clean the place where the princes gathered on this side of the west city. Some respectable palace ministers went to the mausoleum today. What''s the use of the weak women left at home? It''s better to take this opportunity to copy a few and get some gold and silver. Just now, I met several silver buildings and jewelry shops on the road. The most exquisite and precious jewelry has been prepared in every silver building during the new year''s festival. These places are just the gathering places for women''s families in December. They not only ransacked a lot of gold and silver, but also molested a beautiful young woman. But the little woman was so fierce that she kicked him in the crotch while he was unprepared, and then hit him dead. Ling sixun still feels the panic of lower body pain when he thinks about it. This just wanted to copy a few people who used to look bad. Unexpectedly, they were beaten to pieces before they took action. Rong Jun Wang''s subordinates want to chase them, but they are stopped by Rong Jun Wang. It''s not too late to go after them when they have a chance Then he looked at the bodyguard of Shen''s house and said, "thank you for your help. I don''t know which bodyguard you are."


    The chief bodyguard hugged his fist and said, "his subordinate is Shen Feng, the chief bodyguard of Zhongguo government. He came to support the Lord at the order of his wife."


    The prince of Rongjun nodded, "it turns out that it''s someone from my uncle''s family. No wonder it''s so brave. I don''t know how my aunt is now. Xiao Wang is afraid that his uncle will be in danger if he is not at home. He is about to take someone to help him. Unexpectedly, he was saved by guard Shen. He is really ashamed. "


    It''s no wonder that the prince of Rongjun was not honored. In fact, the ancestors of his family were the half brothers of emperor Gaozu, who also made great contributions to the construction of Gaozu. If not, they can''t be made princes. It''s just that their family''s surname is not Ling. The rule handed down from their ancestors is to be cautious. Therefore, the private soldiers in the family are famous. They don''t practice diligently on weekdays. It''s still possible to bluff people in peacetime. Ten people are not as good as a soldier in Shen Fu. After all, the bodyguards of the Shen family are all real soldiers who have been tested in the battlefield for a long time and have been baptized by blood. Lord Rong''s mansion, ah, let''s not mention it.


    After thinking for a while, Shen Wei reflected that the uncle in the mouth of Rong Jun Wang was his own country. It''s just that Prince Rong and the princess haven''t married yet, right? Just like this, one uncle at a time, it''s very easy to shout. He just tucking his heart out, and make complaints about it sooner or later. Seeing that he was still wearing a color on his body, commander Shen invited him to go to Shen''s house to bandage him.


    So the king of Rongjun followed Shen Wei to the national government to visit Han. Han saw that his arm had been cut several times, and then ordered someone to take good medicine and bandage to bind him up.


    The rest of the wounded soldiers were also treated one by one by the doctors in the government. The king of Rongjun asked his subordinates Haosheng to write down the name of the other one. After the event, they had to give a pension to their families.

 Chapter 169

    After Qi Heng''s injury was wrapped up, Han said to him, "you are not an outsider, so I won''t be polite to you. I have just received a letter from Emperor Han. The eldest princess of Dening has come to the capital with her detachment of women and private soldiers. However, the four gates of the capital are now occupied by the rebels, and the princess''s men can''t get in at the foot of the city. Now the Empress Dowager and others in the palace are in danger. Would you like to take someone to fight for the eldest princess? "


    Qi Heng pondered, "our Qi family has always been deeply favored by the emperor. Now there are villains who make trouble. We really shouldn''t stand by and watch. It''s just that there are only a few people under me. Although I look at them a lot, their combat power is not as good as that of your bodyguards. I''m afraid that the rebels at the upper gate will hit the stone with their eggs. "


    After hearing this, the Han family became silent. There were only four or five hundred bodyguards and servants in the Shen family. Shen Mingchang went to the imperial mausoleum and took 20 of the best. According to the chief bodyguard''s investigation, there are four or five thousand rebels in each gate. The Shen family''s hands and the Rong Palace''s hands together can only kill 1500 people. They are not their opponents at all. What''s more, since the rebels occupied the gate, they must have controlled the fort. If you act rashly, you will be killed by the other party in an instant.


    At this time, the army of the eldest princess Dening had already been on the way. By this time, the scouts she sent out had returned, and the news was not optimistic. The rebels had occupied four gates of the capital.


    When she heard the news, the eldest princess of Dening frowned. She didn''t worry about the soldiers guarding the city. What she was afraid of was the guns used to defend the enemy at the gate of the city. Those guns were designed and built by Gaozu himself, and they are still powerful today.


    At this time, Han said, "as far as I know, there is a small square mountain more than 20 miles east of the north gate, which is a natural barrier for the north gate. But there is a sheep''s intestines path, which can lead directly to wansonglin of the Cultural Academy. "


    The eldest princess of Dening glared at him and said, "I''ve been talking for a long time, but I just want to talk about the point? Hurry up and lead the way


    Several disciples of the Han Emperor''s master were waiting on his side. When he saw that his master was stunned by his mother-in-law, he didn''t dare to reply. He was very sympathetic.


    At this time, the people in the capital already knew the news of rebellion. Some timid people packed their bags and wanted to escape outside the city. They were stopped at the gate of the city. Some who wanted to enter the city were stopped outside. Some brave people who wanted to break into the city were killed by the rebels. There were corpses all over the city gate, wailing.


    At this time, a large number of people who want to enter the city have gathered outside the gate of the north city. Most of them go out of the city in the morning to go home, but now they are baffled outside the city. Even if he was not angry, he didn''t dare to break through when he saw the bloody situation at the root of the city wall. I can only wait outside the city and cry.


    When the rebels who were guarding the city were upset by the howling of these people, the eldest princess of Dening had led people to enter the city secretly from the Cultural Academy. They left their horses more than twenty miles away in the early morning, so the rebels didn''t hear anything.


    Although the eldest princess of Dening is over 60 years old, she is still walking like a flying horse when she climbs up the mountain. After she climbed to the top of the mountain, the scouts in front of her came to report that "Princess Liang, Princess Lezhen and Rongjun are fighting with the rebels guarding the North City, and the situation is not very favorable for them."


    Hearing the speech, Dening quickly said, "hurry up, let the people who have come up to support the princess."


    Because the Wenhua Academy was on holiday, there were only dozens of guards in charge of the gate. At first, they thought someone was going to rob the collection. After meeting the token of the eldest princess of Dening, they opened the gate of the academy and let them pass.


    It turned out that Shen Tian and Le Zhen were led by a servant of the house of internal affairs. They climbed from the dog hole in a remote cold palace to the outside of the palace to ask for help. She didn''t want to wait to die, so she had to take the initiative to attack. The Empress Dowager didn''t have a good way, so she agreed to her idea and gave her the token of the CI Ning palace. Princess Lezhen volunteered to join us. She saved Shen Tian''s life just now. Shen Tian can''t refuse too much. Moreover, Lezhen''s skill is more agile than Shen Tian''s, and they can be companions together. The first thing Shen Tian thought of was her mother''s loyalty to the government. When she arrived at the government, Han and others were at a loss. When Shen Tian heard that there were not enough people, he didn''t say a word. First, he took the token and Yizhi from the CI Ning palace and strolled around the gathering place of the palace to gather the private soldiers of the palace. Logically, there should not be only such a few people, but they can''t stand it. Some people want to watch the fire from the other side, and they want to talk about the conditions. Shen Tian didn''t care to talk with these people. A thousand people from his royal family, a thousand people from the Zhou royal family, and 800 people from the Duke''s family who heard the news, together with more than 1000 people from the king of Rongjun and more than 200 people from Shen''s family, managed to make up 4000 people.


    What she thought was that Yangtian mountain was in the northwest of the capital. If the people of Princess Dening wanted to go to Beijing, they would go to the north city. Shen Tian is ready to open the north gate at all costs to meet the eldest princess.


    What she didn''t know was that the rebels would attack the emperor at the same time. In case the emperor and his party break through the siege of the rebels, they will return to Beijing from the north gate. So the rebels gathered more than ten thousand men and horses to hide on the tower just in case.


    Shen Fu''s spies thought that the north gate, like other gates, had only four or five thousand people and gave Shen Tian the wrong information. It was not until Shen Tian handed over his hand that he found that there were so many people on the other side. But we have to fight to the end.


    These rebels were all strictly trained. They were much more powerful than Shen Tian''s men and horses, and the number of the other side was so large that they immediately gained the upper hand. Shen Tian saw that his side had been surrounded by the rebels, so he was nervous. Just then, a group of soldiers sprang out from the south. Without saying a word, they began to fight with the rebels. Shen Tian''s pressure was greatly reduced.


    Shen Tian didn''t know these soldiers, but Princess Lezhen, who had been trained by the eldest princess of Dening for many years, recognized them at a glance, especially the women soldiers in red. Suddenly surprised to Shen Tian and Qi Heng said, "it''s granny Dening''s people. We''re saved."

 Chapter 170

    With the arrival of reinforcements, the morale of the already dispirited bodyguards suddenly increased, and they began to fight with the enemy, and soon the weak gradually gained the upper hand.


    During the scuffle between the two sides, an army of more than 300 people quietly climbed from the wall of the Cultural Academy to the wall, quietly solved the patrol soldiers and artillery soldiers of the rebel army, and successfully occupied the artillery. This small army is the most important trump card in Dening''s hands. In modern words, it is the special forces in the special forces.


    As soon as the artillery station was captured, the other generals knew that the situation was over. Besides, for such a long time, there was no news of success from the imperial palace. I''m afraid the situation was not good. He was thinking about how to get away. He suddenly felt a pain in his head, and then he fell to the ground. I do not know where to come from a crossbow is shooting at his temple above, will he shot dead.


    As soon as the general dies, his soldiers are in a panic. Although Shen Tian has the intention of inducing him to surrender. But the eldest princess of Dening obviously had no such plan. She said in a cold voice, "the treacherous people are inexcusable for their crimes. In those days, her father was too soft hearted to cause the disaster today. If you cut grass and don''t get rid of roots, you''ll have endless troubles. "


    With a wave of his hand, he stepped up his movements and soon strangled all the enemy troops.


    These young people had only heard of the iron hand of the eldest princess of Dening before, and today they really understood it. Seeing the blood flow and corpses everywhere in front of Shen Tian''s eyes, Shen Tian suddenly feels very uncomfortable. He just feels a twinge in his stomach, and then falls down from his horse in the dark. Fortunately, a female general around Dening ran to catch her. The eldest princess of Dening frowned, "what''s wrong with her?" How could it be that it was so delicate to cut people with a knife just now?


    The female general obviously knew some skills of Qihuang. Now she put Shen Tian on the ground and reached for her pulse. After a while, she said, "the princess is pregnant. I''m afraid she''s acting more violently, so she looks a little unstable."


    The eldest princess of Dening frowned and said, "how can you be so mischievous when you are pregnant?"


    The woman general replied, "the pulse is still very weak. I think it''s still a short time. I''m afraid the princess doesn''t know."


    "What''s the matter with her?" Dening asked? Is the child safe? "


    The female general replied, "princess, don''t worry. The princess has a good foundation. She''s strong and strong. It''s no big problem. She just needs to take care of herself."


    Hearing the speech, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they also felt that this happy pulse came at a bad time!


    Dening''s heart was also slightly relaxed, and told the female general, "in this case, you should serve the princess first. At the moment, the situation in the palace is still unknown. You can send the princess back to the palace and let Mrs. Shen take care of her." The female general agrees to come down, and then someone gets a carriage. Several female soldiers carefully carry Shen Tian to the car. Dening orders another group of soldiers to escort Shen Tian.


    Seeing Shen Tian sent away, although Shen Weichang is concerned about his aunt''s health, he first reports to Dening what his subordinates have found out. Dening nodded slightly. Although the results were slightly different, the bodyguard chief of the Shen family still had some real talents. Considering that Shen Tian, who had just been sent away, was also a tough man, no wonder the loyal government has not been defeated for a hundred years. It seems that people do have some means in educating their descendants and training their subordinates.


    According to the spy''s intelligence, Deyun infers that the rebels should not have mastered too many people, and the other side obviously has no effective generals. They have been fighting here for a long time, but no other rebels have come to reinforce them, and there is no one in the city to patrol back and forth, which is really useless.


    She didn''t know that the king of Linjiang went down to the imperial mausoleum to encircle the emperor with his eldest son and most of his hands. The rebels in the city were originally under the command of Yu Deshui. Although Yu Deshui''s ability is mediocre, his son Yu dongyixiang is witty. This matter, Yu Deshui is responsible for it, and Yu Dong is the one with real power. Ling sixun, his young son, wanted to join in. Linjiang king also wanted to let him do some military work, so he asked him to follow Yudong to attack the palace which was easier to fight. But who could have thought that Yu Dong would be destroyed so quickly by Shen Tian? Ling sixun is useless. How long has Yu Dong been taking people in? There has been no news. I don''t know whether to send someone in to check. Just look at his first thought in this situation is to lead soldiers to copy other people''s private library, we can know how stupid he is. I don''t want to think about how much gold and silver you can plunder as long as you can successfully capture the palace? I don''t have much brain.


    It''s a pity that Linjiang Wang''s half life plan was ruined by such a waste.


    Of course, if he has a little heart, he won''t be made dumplings in the end.


    Dening took his men to the gate of Dakang. The rebels were tough. Although they had no leader for the time being, they still resisted to the end. After a while, I couldn''t fight any more. I simply withdrew to the gate of Dakang and closed it. Let Dening side feel helpless.


    Just then, a group of people in the uniform of the imperial army came over, pressing several rebels. There were only three or four hundred of them. Princess Dening was afraid of cheating and had them surrounded.


    A leading Imperial Guard knew Qi Heng, and when he saw the women''s army in red, he boldly speculated that the woman sitting on the horse in military uniform should be the eldest princess of Dening. When kneeling down, he said, "Li Yu, a lowly commander of the imperial guards, has met the eldest princess and Rongjun."


    Dening looked at him and said in a cold voice, "since you are the imperial guards, why do you come now? Don''t you know something happened in the palace? "


    Li Yu hurriedly said, "if you are princess Hui, today is just the day for your humble duty, so you will have a rest at home. Until about noon, you will see many Kongming lanterns coming out of the palace, and then many fireworks, which makes you feel uneasy. So he wanted to go back to the Yamen to see the situation. But after he went, he found that the Royal yamen turned into a sea of fire, but no one came out to put out the fire. It was so easy to turn to the people nearby for help. In addition, some unworthy brothers came to help one after another. In the end, only 200 or 300 people were rescued. The rest of the thousands died in the fire With that, his eyes were red.


    Although Longde emperor knew Linjiang King''s rebellion, he ordered the military barracks in the capital to take precautions secretly. But he didn''t expect that the other side''s influence was much deeper than he thought. No, the imperial army was destroyed all of a sudden. This may be the reason why emperor Longde was too arrogant. If he had received the secret letter that day, he would have carried the king of Linjiang all at once, I''m afraid there would be no disaster today.


    "Why didn''t they come out to put out the fire themselves?" Dening asked

 Chapter 171

    Li Yu answered with red eyes, "it''s Yu Dong. He''s a traitor. Today, the commander-in-chief and the left and right commanders of the imperial army took their troops to the imperial mausoleum. Yu Dong was the biggest General of the imperial army. According to one of his brothers who was rescued, the lunch today was half an hour earlier than usual because of General Yu''s orders. Who would have thought that there was sweat medicine in the meal, and the brothers were all weak after lunch and couldn''t get up. Some of the people who ate later found that it was wrong. Before they could resist, they were killed by Yu Dong''s people. Then, Yu Dong orders people to close the gate of yamen, light a torch and throw it inside. The brothers inside didn''t even have time to resist, and those who didn''t burn were choked to death. "


    Wen Yan, Lezhen whispers to tell Dening about Yudong''s rebellion and Shen Tian''s killing.


    At this time, one of the soldiers beside Li Yu said, "the small one is from the city defense army, and so is our camp. The small one went to the toilet before he had time to eat because of some discomfort in his stomach. Before he came out, he saw smoke everywhere. When I came out, I saw that all the soldiers in Manchu fell to the ground, some of them were killed by medicine, and some of them were chopped to death. Small see things bad, secretly from a remote dog hole drilled out. I thought that I was going to report to the Imperial Army, but I didn''t expect that the imperial army would have the same experience. "


    Dening saw that they were dressed in a mess and looked calm, not like lying. He nodded, "I believe you for the time being. Get up."


    Li Yu just stood up, then pointed to several people he was holding and said, "when humble people were fighting the fire, these people suddenly came to stop making trouble and killed many civilians. When he saw that the man was not dressed like an ordinary soldier, he arrested him. "


    The eldest princess of Dening didn''t walk around the capital. She couldn''t even recognize the emperor''s children, let alone the children of the imperial clan? It was Qi Heng who recognized Ling sixun at once. "The eldest princess is Ling sixun, the son of Linjiang king. Their father and son planned today''s rebellion. I had a fight with him just now on Zhengyang Street."


    Lezhen also said, "the emperor''s grandmother also said that Linjiang king had been rebellious for a long time


    Wen Yan Dening sneered, "if it''s not for the benevolence and righteousness of the former Emperor, how can you enjoy so many years of wealth?"? You don''t think about how much you can repay. Instead, you make trouble. Hum, it''s killing! Come on, put up a long pole outside the gate of Dakang, and let the rebels inside see the end of the rebellion. " Then she saw a gun from far to near and said with a smile, "our palace will give them a cup of tea to think about. If we surrender as soon as possible, our palace will spare their lives and do no harm to their families. If we keep on talking, the palace will be flattened with them and the gate will be rebuilt. People blow up, but it''s really gone. "


    When the eldest princess said this, she looked like she was talking about clothes and jewelry. She didn''t even blink. But for no reason let the people around a goose bumps.


    This time, the rebels were besieged in the empty space between the Meridian Gate and the Dakang gate. There was no water or food in this place, so they could not hold on for long. From the city gate, they see Ling sixun being hanged. In addition, Yu Dong is dead, and the two leaders are finished. A gun from Shenhuo is set up outside the gate. How can they make trouble. One of them threw his sword to the ground, and the rest of them were disarmed.


    In the end, Dening and her party took over the remaining rebels with no blood. She ordered them to be sent to the prison for custody, and then they would be disposed of by themselves when Lund Di came back.


    At this time, the capital camp outside the city has also seen the Kongming lantern released from the palace and learned the news of rebellion. Fangxinjian and Lin Enron have brought the news and edict of the imperial mausoleum besieged by the emperor. The commander immediately ordered 100000 soldiers to go to the imperial mausoleum in two ways, and 80000 soldiers went to the imperial mausoleum. Shen Ze took the remaining 20000 soldiers to the capital.


    The capital camp was in the northwest of the capital, so Shen Ze led his troops directly to the north gate. The city guard first reported to the eldest princess of Dening, and then checked Shen Ze''s general Fu and the order of the capital camp, and then let them into the city.


    With these men, the rebels in the other three gates were soon wiped out. Because of the absence of the emperor and the princes, the Empress Dowager handed over the defense of the capital to the eldest princess of Dening. I don''t know how to dispatch troops to punish generals. The safety of the capital and the imperial palace will be left to my sister. " Even the empress dowager, who has always been proud of herself, does not dare to call herself "the palace" in front of Dening, which shows that the eldest princess of Dening is strong.


    The eldest princess of Dening is not ambiguous, and she answers herself.


    At this time, the palace people reported that Shen Ze, the left General of the capital camp, asked to see him.


    While ordering people to summon, Dening said to the empress dowager, "there are some generals in the Shen family. Is this Shen Shen Shen the one who captured the prince of Kashgar alive? Not to mention him and Shen Guogong, the fifth daughter-in-law is also a crisp, unambiguous person. I don''t know if the child is pregnant. Fortunately, it''s nothing serious. Otherwise, it would be a pity. "


    The Empress Dowager also nodded and said, "the fifth daughter-in-law is a good, brave and resourceful woman who can stand up at the critical moment. Among these granddaughters-in-law, the crown princess is the only one. The eldest daughter-in-law usually looks smart, so it''s not enough. "


    "Today''s court officials are all scholars who have no power to bind a chicken. Do you expect them to teach you a smart daughter? It''s no more than a county princess. " That''s what I said. It''s a shame that these princesses are not here now.


    After a while, Shen Ze came in and saluted him. Before the Empress Dowager praised him, he hastily replied, "now your majesty and his party are surrounded by the rebels at the imperial mausoleum. Wang Tongling has led 80000 troops to rescue them. Now I don''t know what''s going on with your majesty. Please also ask the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess to plan as soon as possible. "


    On hearing this, the Empress Dowager could not sit still. The emperor was her own son, and she was not the king of a country. When the mother heard that her son was in trouble, she was not in a hurry.


    Even Dening was shocked by the news. She didn''t expect that the rebels even surrounded the imperial mausoleum. The emperor is the king of a country. A little carelessness will shake the foundation of the country. Moreover, all the adult males of the imperial clan went to the imperial mausoleum. In case of being accidentally given a pot of food, even she had no face to go underground to see her father and mother.

 Chapter 172

    Fortunately, after all, the Empress Dowager experienced the storm, and soon recovered. She said calmly, "now the city defense forces and the imperial guards can''t count on any more. Come here, quickly pass the message of mourning, transfer the troops from Langfang and Dagu, and quickly rush to the imperial mausoleum to rescue your majesty."


    Then he looked at Shen Ze and said, "general Shen Shen, I''ve ordered you to close all the four gates of the capital first, and then send officers and men to patrol and control the capital, so as to avoid the rebellion." Shen Ze took the order and went to make his own arrangements.


    Then Dening said, "since Shen Shen Shen is in charge of the defense of the capital, I''ll take people to the imperial mausoleum. I''m going to see how capable the Linjiang king is, and dare to fight against him."


    After hearing this, the Empress Dowager felt relieved. The Empress Dowager was very convinced of her ability.


    At this time, the emperor Longde and his party were really in a mess. When the rebels saw that the gate of the imperial mausoleum could not be attacked for a long time, and like the gate of the capital, they did not know what material it was made of. It was invulnerable and inviolable. Seeing this, the king of Linjiang was not ambiguous, and then ordered people to shoot many arrows with fire from the occupied watchtower to the imperial mausoleum.


    Because of today''s sacrifice to heaven, there are many banners and sacrificial articles in the mausoleum. These things catch fire as soon as they meet fire. In addition, the weather is dry in winter, and the fire spreads rapidly.


    And there is not enough water to put out the fire in the imperial mausoleum. It seems that the fire has already set fire to the east wing. At this time, the beams were all made of wood, and the rocket was also lit with tung oil. If it wasn''t for the distance between the East chamber and the main hall, it would have burned here long ago. The rebels are still shooting rockets here. It''s the time when the west wind is raging. Although many of the rebels'' arrows can''t reach the mausoleum, they all fall into the pine forest around the mausoleum. In winter, the weather was dry, and soon the fire formed a climate. Inside and outside the imperial mausoleum, there were flames and smoke.


    Looking at the growing fire around him, lundeti could not help but frown. Is it heaven that is going to kill me?


    When the crowd was at a loss, lundeti suddenly felt cold on his face. He reached out to wipe it, and another drop of cold liquid dropped onto the back of his hand. Is it snow? When he was puzzled, someone in the courtiers exclaimed, "look, it''s snowing!" Everyone looked up. Sure enough, there were scattered snowflakes floating in the sky. In an instant, they turned into feather like heavy snow, with some hail the size of longan.


    Lundeti swore that he had never liked hail as much as he did today. Even if a hailstone hit him on the shoulder, he was very happy.


    Heavy snow with hail, although did not quickly extinguish the fire, but also prevented the spread of the fire. Because of the heavy snow blocking the sight of the rebels, they can no longer release their arrows for a while. Even if they are released, they will be covered by the heavy snow. The fire in the square and the East Wing gradually weakened, and everyone was jubilant. The prince said to the emperor, "my father is blessed with wealth and good fortune. He will surely be lucky in the face of adversity."


    As soon as the words came out, the other ministers of the clan also echoed them one after another. Those courtiers with eyes quickly took the lead in shouting "long live your majesty! God bless great health Then all the soldiers and generals followed suit. The sound of the tsunami spread to the outside of the imperial mausoleum, shaking the rebel''s liver.


    It was Emperor Longde himself who looked at the heavy snow all over the sky and secretly breathed out a sigh. At the moment, he said in a loud voice, "it seems that heaven does not kill me, but the spirits of ancestors must protect me. Since heaven''s destiny is on my side, what else can I fear? "


    Longde emperor''s officials were happy, but Linjiang King''s face was not so beautiful. The dog emperor and his party are going to be trapped in it, and then he can get what he wants. But God was against him, and it was snowing and hailing at this time. Lundeti was not afraid of ice and snow when he hid in the hall. But his army was exposed in the wilderness, and the hail from the sky hit the soldiers'' armor. All of them felt dizzy for a moment, and their ears were shaking to pain. They took off their helmets one after another, and their head and neck, which were exposed to the outside, were immediately wet by ice and snow. It was really unbearable. At this time, people still believe in the gods. The king of Linjiang wanted to burn Longde emperor. At this time, it happened that a heavy snow stopped the spread of the fire. In other words, Lund is the destiny. Thinking of this, the officials involved in the rebellion, who were tortured by hailstones, could not help but feel regret. They should not have listened to Linjiang King''s deception. It''s just that it''s too late to go back.


    Heavy snow blocked people''s sight, Linjiang king did not see his men''s face as changeable as a palette. I wonder if Yu Dong and Si Xun have got it or not. Why haven''t they moved so long. As long as you control the palace and pull the cannon of Shenhuo camp, what kind of gate can''t be broken?


    At this time, a sentry suddenly came from the rear and said, "tell the Lord, a team of people came from the direction of the capital."


    Linjiang Wang Daxi said to his eldest son Ling sijue, "it must be Dong''Er and sixun who came with reinforcements." Then he took up the thousand mile mirror handed over by his hand and looked up.


    The hail stopped after a cup of tea, but the snowflakes were still raging in the sky. It took Linjiang Wang a long time to see the army in the distance. However, he was shocked by the sight, because the other party''s flag was the commander-in-chief of the capital camp, and his clothes didn''t look like his own army. No, there are less than 30000 people left in the capital, and half of them are their own. Plus another 20000 people allocated to their sons, as long as they firmly occupy the gate of the city and capture the Empress Dowager and other women, they will be invincible.


    What went wrong?


    The other side is getting closer and closer. Seeing that his father''s face is not right, Ling sijue asks, "father, what''s the matter? Isn''t that the third brother? " Linjiang king did not speak, but shook his head and handed the mirror to his eldest son.


    Ling sijue was young and had good eyesight. He could see more clearly than Linjiang king. He could even see the general''s appearance. Although he didn''t know each other, he knew it was definitely not his side. Now he said, "father, what should I do now?"


    The king of Linjiang took a deep breath. "I didn''t expect that the emperor Longde was so timid that he didn''t dare to fight with me head-on. He only knew that he would hide in the Imperial Mausoleum as a turtle."

 Chapter 173

    The sound of the horse''s hoof is getting closer and closer, and Linjiang King no longer hesitates, "your brother, are they afraid of more or less bad luck? There are so many people on the other side. We are not rivals. We should withdraw to yukou pass first." So, taking advantage of the distance between the Imperial Army and this side, he quickly gathered up the army and fled with his men in a hurry.


    The guards in the mausoleum are still wondering why the rebels suddenly stopped attacking? When you look at it again, it''s already gone.


    Is it the imperial reinforcements coming?


    The gatekeepers quickly climbed to the high wall of the imperial mausoleum and looked around. As expected, they saw the handsome flag of the capital camp. The soldiers rushed in and reported to Emperor Longde. The emperor and his officials were relieved.


    When long de Di heard that the rebels had retreated to the area of yukouguan, he said, "don''t chase them first, let them hop for a few days." After hearing that Shen Ze, the left general, had taken people to the capital, Emperor Longde nodded, "I''m really worried about the safety of my mother''s family. Let''s drive back to Beijing."


    The ministers also agreed one after another. They don''t know what''s going on in the capital. No one''s family is old or young. They have to go back and have a look.


    Of course, long de Di did not forget to block an arrow for himself. He was still in a coma in the back hall. He didn''t bring any other sons and ministers, but only a few servants and loyal Duke Shen Mingchang. After all, he is the father-in-law of Lao Wu.


    When the party entered the wing room where the king of Liang was, two doctors were waiting. Seeing that Longde emperor came, he quickly got up to greet him. Longde emperor waved his hand and asked, "is old five seriously injured? Why don''t you wake up now? "


    The two doctors looked at each other, and one of them, Chen, who was older, looked at the king of Liang lying on the couch. He bowed down and said, "king of Liang''s thousand year old injury is not very serious, but the arrow was smeared with poison. Although the minister and others have tried their best to cure him, he is still delayed because of the lack of medicinal materials. I''m afraid that there will be some problems in the future. "


    "What kind of disease?" Lundy asked.


    Chen Taiyi heart a horizontal, simply said, "I''m afraid there will be some obstacles with the offspring." Seeing that the emperor''s face was not worried, he swallowed the sentence that it was easy to be weak and die young with children.


    Lundeti was a little unhappy, but he felt a little better when he thought that he had a pair of legitimate children. He said, "you don''t have to tell anyone about this. Even his royal highness, the king of Liang, will keep it from you for a while." Chen Taiyi hurriedly answered.


    Then a servant came to report that everything was ready, please show me.


    Longde emperor also wanted to go back to the capital as soon as possible. Only when he sat on the throne of Jinluan palace would he feel safe, so he ordered to leave immediately. At the same time, the king of Liang was well placed and treated carefully by the imperial doctor after he returned to Beijing.


    Not to mention how to arrange cars and horses, dispatch manpower, how to drive and so on. It''s just that Han, leisurely and his children are in the Zhongguo mansion. Today, the city is full of chaos. Although leisurely remembers her family, she knows that it''s much safer to stay in Zhongguo mansion now. Moreover, Han won''t let her go back at this time, so she stays here all the time. Fortunately, Shen Xi and Kangtai are also here. Apart from worrying about Shen Ze, there is nothing particularly worrying about the family.


    Han took all the people to the ancestral hall of the mansion, saying that he wanted to offer incense and pray for the ancestors to protect them. In fact, it is because there is a secret passage under the ancestral hall, which can lead to a secret house outside. If the rebels do come in, they can at least fight.


    When people kneel down in good faith, Shen Tian, who is in a coma, is sent over.


    Seeing her daughter like this, Han was very flustered for a while. Although the female general said that Shen Tian was ok, Han still asked the doctor in the house to come and feel her daughter''s pulse. Fortunately, the doctor''s words were not much different from those of the female general''s army, so Han was relieved. Maybe it''s because of today''s rush that Shen Tian wakes up after a long sleep. When Han saw her wake up, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Tian struggles to get up. Han helps her up and leans her back with a large pillow of turquoise green satin. "But I''m worried to death. You''re going to scare me to death. I don''t know if I''m pregnant. I''m still so restless. Fortunately, this child is a real one, otherwise you will regret it. "


    Shen Tian said, "mother, do you think I''m pregnant again? Is that true? " Shen Tian didn''t plan to have a second child so soon, but since she was pregnant, she was only happy.


    While Han asked people to bring the soup, he could not help saying to his daughter, "why did your mother cheat you? You fell down from the horse. Fortunately, you were saved by general an beside the eldest princess of Dening. General an is also an expert in medicine. As soon as he gets a pulse, he will know that you are pregnant. Before the Huizi rebellion is wiped out, he sent you here. Thanks to the help of general an, if not, you are not pregnant. What can you do if you fall down from there? You girl, you are just too brave. You see, Princess Wei, they all stay in the palace in peace. You are the only one who is busy in and out of the palace. "


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "my daughter really does not know that she is pregnant. Otherwise, she will not do so. I''m different from them. Don''t my mother know my daughter yet? It''s never been that kind of waiting to die. " In the eyes of Princess Wei, the envy of the crown princess can be seen by a discerning person. Shen Tian admits that she also has wild hopes, but she knows that she must pay something to achieve her goal. Wealth is always in danger. When things happen, you will only retreat. How can you get what you want?


    They said something about the palace for a while. When they heard that the rebels in the city had been wiped out, they were relieved. However, she was still thinking about her two children, but she was weak all over, not to mention entering the palace. She was afraid that she had problems walking.


    After a while, leisurely carrying tray came over, see Shen Tian wake up, can''t help but smile "Princess awake?" Then he put down the tray and was about to salute. Shen Tian stopped him and said, "well, it''s rare that there is no outsider to watch. Our family will be more relaxed. Don''t talk about those empty rites."


    Nodding leisurely, "then I won''t be polite. Are you hungry? I made crucian carp ginger soup and sea cucumber porridge. Do you want to use some? "


    Shen Tian nodded, "there was an accident in the palace before lunch. This meeting is really hungry." With no affectation, he finished a bowl of sea cucumber porridge and drank more than half a bowl of crucian carp soup.


    The stomach is in order, Shen Tian feels that he also has strength. She said to Han at the moment, "please ask my mother to come and dress me. I want to enter the palace."

 Chapter 174

    Han said, "the doctor said you want to have a rest, so what are you doing in a hurry?"


    Shen Tian replied, "I really don''t trust the two children. Although the Empress Dowager is good, how can the concubines of Wei be good friends? I feel at ease when the child is still by my side. "


    Han''s daughter, but do not trust her to go alone, will also dress up according to the product, accompany her daughter into the palace to do not mention.


    Hearing the notice from the palace, the Empress Dowager immediately asked someone to invite her. She said with a smile to the princess beside her, "I know that the fifth daughter-in-law will come to see her children when she wakes up. This woman has become a mother. That''s how she puts her children on the top of her heart all the time."


    The crown princess said with a smile, "it''s also human nature. Jingke goes to Wenhua hall to study every day. Sun''s daughter-in-law is very worried. What''s more, there are so many troubles in the palace today. My five younger brothers and sisters must be worried. "


    Within two hours, the palace had been washed clean inside and outside, and no abnormality could be seen. But at the moment, the guards in the palace seem to be more strict than usual. They are interrogated several times as Princess Shen Tian. They see that Han is waiting for his daughter outside the Meridian Gate.


    Shen Tian went to the palace to salute the Empress Dowager and the crown princess. The Empress Dowager quickly asked the female official to help her up. "Don''t be so polite. Come and sit down. I''m afraid to hear that you are pregnant. In case of something bad, how do you want me to explain it to Lao Wu? How do you feel now? "


    Shen Tian replied, "it''s much better. I don''t feel uncomfortable. I remember the situation in the palace, so I always want to come and see it with my own eyes in order to be at ease. "


    The Empress Dowager patted her hand and said, "you are a good child. The contribution you made this time will not be forgotten by the family and the queen."


    Shen Tian smiles and shakes her head. "What''s the credit? Sun''s daughter-in-law is not for those false names. It''s just that sun''s daughter-in-law has been adhering to the Shen family''s motto of "loyal to the king and serving the country" since she was a child. Although I''m just a lady in a boudoir, I always keep these four words in mind. Sun''s daughter-in-law is lucky to be able to do her part for the safety and stability of Dakang in times of crisis. "


    "Well said, she is worthy of the title of general tiger girl!" As soon as the voice fell, a male voice came to mind outside the door.


    They turned to see that the dusty emperor Longde, together with the crown prince and a group of princes, were standing at the gate of the hall. They thought they had listened to what Shen Tian had just said.


    Shen Tian and the Crown Princess quickly saluted the emperor. Emperor Longde waved them to get up, stepped forward to the Empress Dowager and said, "seeing that the mother and empress are all right, my son is at ease." All the people behind them immediately saluted the Empress Dowager and the crown princess. When the Empress Dowager saw that the palace was all right, she let all the princesses and princesses go back to her home. So here is only the Crown Princess and Shen Tian. Seeing that the crown prince is safe, the crown princess can''t help but show a happy smile. But Shen Tian was not surprised to see the king of Liang.


    The Empress Dowager said to her son, "seeing the emperor''s safe return, I feel relieved to mourn."


    Long de Di nodded, "my son is careless for a moment, which leads to disaster. It''s really a shame to frighten the queen mother and the royal family members. "


    The Empress Dowager said, "people are always in danger. Who could have thought that the cowardly king of Linjiang would fight against him? And the Emperor Yu Dong, for her mother''s sake, always treated him favorably. Unexpectedly, he also rebelled and wanted to hold me and the queen to coerce the emperor. Fortunately, there was no danger, and the matter was finally solved safely. It''s thanks to the fifth daughter-in-law who killed him in time. If not, I''m afraid we''ll be lucky. "


    Long de Di said, "the fifth daughter-in-law is a good one, and the fifth is not bad."


    Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager looked around at the princes and asked in surprise, "well, why didn''t the AI family see Lao Wu? I have good news to tell him Longde Di sighed and said, "in order to block the disaster for me, Lao Wu was poisoned by the rebels, and now he is still unconscious. I''ve ordered someone to take him to the palace and put him in the Chonghua palace. I''ve sent a royal doctor to treat him. "


    The Empress Dowager was shocked, "how could it be like this?"


    After hearing this, Shen Tian was also stunned. She quickly responded and asked, "please allow me to go to Chonghua palace to visit the king."


    Long de Di nodded and said, "go ahead, Lao Wu''s wound is not healed, so you will live in the Palace first, and the medical medicine will be cheaper. It''s not too late to go back to the palace when Lao Wu''s injury is better. "


    Shen Tian gave a salute and went to Chonghua palace with her servant girl and her two children. Although she is not so affectionate to Liang Wang as she shows, she doesn''t want her child to be so young without her father''s protection.


    Here, Shen Tian lives in the palace for a while, taking care of the king of Liang while raising the baby. Because in this rebellion, both husband and wife made great contributions, so the palace people did not dare to neglect. There are also rewards from the emperor and empress from time to time, so their days in the palace are not sad.


    After all the dust is settled, leisurely brings his son and Shen Xi back to his home. Their home is far away from the Forbidden City and has not been damaged. In the evening, Shen Ze came back and felt relieved when he saw that everything was safe at home. Although the palace did not suffer much damage, the imperial guards and the city defense forces suffered a lot. In addition to those mutinies, the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers died a little too tragically. Although the war is over for the time being, there is still a long way to go. So Shen Ze just said a few words and left in a hurry.


    After emperor Longde invited the Empress Dowager an, he had no time to rest, so he had some dinner in a hurry, and called together the important ministers of the court to discuss the matter of anti rebellion. Scouts have sent news that the rebels colluded with the army of the Rocha state to kill the soldiers of yukouguan and occupy the area. Yukouguan was an important military area in the northeast of the imperial court, only a few hundred miles away from the capital. If the rebels recuperate here and regain their vitality, it will be difficult for the capital to be safe.


    At this time, Emperor Longde could not help suspecting his intelligence power. When did Linjiang King collude with the state of Luocha? They killed the general of yukouguan and took over most of the local soldiers, but they didn''t know it at all.


    However, it is not the time to investigate these issues. The most urgent task is to send troops to wipe out the rebels. Emperor Longde swept around among the officials. Originally, he was in favor of Shen Mingchang, but thinking of the prince, he finally appointed Chen Guangbei, the commander of the capital camp, as the commander of the army. Chen Guangbei is the first empress''s cousin, the iron Prince party, has also made immortal contributions to Dakang.

 Chapter 175

    In the eyes of emperor Longde, this time the king of Linjiang will not be a great success. Chen Guang''s move to the north is also for the sake of careful consideration of suppressing the princes. Just because he doesn''t say it doesn''t mean that he doesn''t know about the undercurrent between the princes. It''s just that emperor Lund wants to sharpen the prince''s mind. Therefore, as long as he doesn''t go too far, he always turns a blind eye to certain things.


    The imperial guards and the patrol troops were the main forces to guard the Forbidden City and the public order of the capital. Now they were plotted by the enemy. It was not heartbreaking for emperor Longde. On the one hand, he sent people from the army around the capital to make up for the vacancy, and on the other hand, he promoted a number of new generals. As for the remaining evils of the rebels, they should be eliminated. And for meritorious officials, they should be promoted vigorously.


    Shen Ze was promoted to be the commander of the imperial guards of the third grade because of his merit. Fang Xin became the deputy commander of the imperial guards. Even Li Yu, Shen Ying''s husband, was promoted to be the major general of the fourth grade imperial guards because he caught Ling sixun. Some other meritorious ministers have also been promoted. I will not repeat them here.


    But the eldest princess of Dening has a noble status. She has no nobility to add. She can only reward something. Then at the Queen''s suggestion, Enze became the only descendant of blood in Dening, the head of Leyao County, and promoted her to the title of princess.


    Some people are surprised to find that although Shen Mingchang''s performance is mediocre in this incident, Zhongguo government is undoubtedly the one who has gained the most. Look at my nephew, nephew and son-in-law. They are either from the imperial guards or the imperial guards, and they are all generals above the average level. The Shen family has occupied most of the capital''s guards quietly.


    The king of Chu and the king of Wu are very dissatisfied with the fact that they have made great contributions this time. They always feel that they need to do something.


    Although lundeti and others were not seriously injured, his close guard damaged dozens of people. Although it sounds that there are not many casualties, these people are all the elites among the elites. They are good at fighting against one hundred on the field. The emperor is very sad that they have lost so much all at once.


    Moreover, the investigation after the event showed that in addition to the Linjiang King''s leadership, Guangping Houfu, Yongkang Bofu, the husband''s family of Princess Jingyang, and several idle clansmen all participated in the conspiracy.


    This made emperor Longde very upset. Since the beginning of the reign of emperor Kang, although he limited the imperial clan''s participation in politics and military power, he was always generous in property and other aspects. Good to eat and drink for, did not expect to raise such a number of white eyed wolf.


    When the emperor was angry, the corpse was floating for thousands of miles. Although there was no exaggeration in the end, Emperor Lund was not soft hearted this time. No matter whether it was new year or not, all the clansmen and princes who were found to have collusion with the rebels had their titles abolished and their property confiscated. The beheading of beheading, the exile of exile, there is no soft hand. All of a sudden, this iron and blood method shocked the imperial court, and even the atmosphere of officialdom was clear for a long time.


    Not to mention how Longde emperor regretted and how to deal with the traitors, only that Shen Ze was once again promoted to the commander of the imperial army. Leisurely feel some incredible, my husband this is also promoted too fast, like a rocket like, whoosh.


    Of course, my brother is not bad either. Although he didn''t get promoted this time, he was transferred to Prince Zhan''s office to serve as Shao Zhan. Although the Minister of Zhongshu is a close Minister of the emperor, he doesn''t have any real power in his hands. There are several levels of superiors on his hands, and there are some people who want to stand out. But Shao Zhan was in charge of the common affairs inside and outside the eastern palace. There was only one Zhan Shi on the top of it except the prince. After waiting for the prince to ascend the throne for a few years at An''an''s age, his benefits were inevitable.


    Even now, this seat is also very rich. How many local tyrants and rich businessmen spend a lot of money just to please the prince. As the second leader of the East Palace office, the ice respect and carbon respect on the bright side are rich enough.


    But leisurely feel that lundeti''s action seems to have profound meaning.


    Shen Guogong seems to have guessed this, and declined the real power Longde emperor wanted to appoint in the name of old disease. And quietly to Shen Lian''s husband Zheng Xuewen plotted the Shandong territory of Weixian county magistrate, just waiting for the new year to take office. Although Shandong is not as prosperous as Jiangnan, it is not poor. Moreover, Shandong, as the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, has rich cultural heritage. Since ancient times, there have been a large number of literati, and the people have received a lot of education. It is a place where political achievements are easy to be made. However, Zheng Xuewen lived in a low rent house of the imperial court before he got married. When he got married, he moved to a second house in Shen Lian''s name for the sake of looking good. Zheng Xuewen is a man of backbone. He feels a little ashamed that a big man wants to live in his daughter-in-law''s dowry house. But Mrs. Zheng looked at the room, but she was not satisfied. She had been to the national government when she was setting free. It was the first time that she saw such a magnificent house when she was so old.


    Mrs. Zheng thinks that her daughter-in-law is the daughter-in-law of the government. Why can''t she marry a junior family? I didn''t expect that there would be only such a small house with about ten rooms in total. She also brought several servants. Except for two living rooms in the front yard and a study for her son, the rest of the rooms were full. The daughter-in-law gave her the best main house to live in. She and her son lived in the back room, but Mrs. Zheng always felt dissatisfied. When her son got married, all the people from her hometown came to live in the home of one of her son''s colleagues. It was Mrs. Zheng who couldn''t keep her family for a few days, which made her feel very shameless.


    What makes her even more discontented is that she has repeatedly hinted that she wants to help her daughter-in-law manage her dowry, and her daughter-in-law doesn''t share the blame. He also told his son about it so that he could talk about it.


    She was going to have an attack, so that her daughter-in-law would know. It''s just that something happened in the palace before we could figure out a way. Then, before Mrs. Zheng could react, everything would be settled. The daughter-in-law''s family members all contributed to the incident, and even their family got a lot of credit. The neighbors brought gifts to celebrate. Mrs. Zheng was busy greeting the guests for a while, and saw her daughter-in-law pick up all the things that the guests had brought. Her dissatisfaction depressed her.


    At this meeting, her son''s father-in-law helped her find a good job, and Mrs. Zheng was only satisfied for a while. Although she can''t recognize a few big characters, she has heard of "a hundred thousand snowflakes of silver in three years of Qing Dynasty". In Mrs. Zheng''s understanding, no matter how expensive the Imperial Academy''s duties are, they are not as affordable as the local officials with real power. So happily pack up things, ready to go with his son to take office.


    When she heard that her mother-in-law had gone to collect her things, Shen Lian was relieved. Although she was greedy for money, she still had a certain look on her face, which was not too difficult to deal with. After thinking about it for a while, he ordered his servant girl Cailing to "find out the big fur clothes I prepared for the old lady. I''ll go there."

 Chapter 176

    Not to mention how Shen Lian appeases her mother-in-law and her husband, as a rule, the Palace should summon and reward the families of these meritorious officials. However, the Empress Dowager was so frightened that she had a heart hanging. Suddenly she relaxed and fell ill in bed. The empress and others are busy waiting for illness in the palace of CI Ning, so naturally they don''t care about it. They just sent the Palace officials to the meritorious officials'' home to reward them with some things, but they didn''t care whether the writing was closed or not in December. Even the family members of the meritorious officials were promoted.


    Enron changed a new job, Lin''s mother also took Zhuang Shu back from home, heard what happened in the capital, how can they stay in their hometown? There are also ancestral tablets in the houses in the capital, which makes it difficult for people not to go back to worship their ancestors.


    When Lin''s mother saw that her son and daughter were all well, she was relieved. Her two sons and daughters took credit again, and she was very happy. Just because of the situation in the capital, I didn''t dare to celebrate. I just had a meal together and didn''t even drink a mouthful.


    Because of this kind of thing, this year we have a very low-key. Because of the Empress Dowager''s unwell body, even the new year''s Eve celebrations were exempted, and the Gaoming lady just kowtowed to the Empress Dowager outside the CI Ning palace. It''s just a couple of close relatives walking around each other. It''s not as crowded as it used to be.


    Fortunately, after the third day of junior high school, the Empress Dowager''s body gradually got better. Gradually, she could get up and take a few steps. Finally, everyone was relieved. Gradually, there was a festive atmosphere in the palace.


    On the ninth day of the lunar new year, the crown prince and his concubine hosted a banquet for the officials and family members of Zhan Shi''s house in the east palace. Because of the Empress Dowager''s physical discomfort, she didn''t prepare wine for the opera, but we ate some vegetarian food together to communicate with each other.


    The empress of the crown princess has all the qualities that a crown princess should have. She is graceful, generous and considerate. After returning home from the palace, Mrs. Lin praised her daughter, "I never thought that the crown princess was so kind, her voice was gentle, and her voice was pleasant. It''s said that your brother just became a relative years ago, and specially gave shu''er a set of headdress. Of course, we don''t lack those things, but it''s a rare honor after all, isn''t it? " Then he looked around, lowered his voice and said, "I''ve only seen Princess Liang in the past. I thought that all the daughters-in-law of the heavenly family were as angry as the princess. I didn''t expect that the princess would be much more friendly than I thought."


    After hearing this, leisurely and helplessly said, "it''s normal for everyone to have different temperaments and some of them are different. It''s not worth being a mother, but take this out and say it. Don''t pass that on to the outside. I think my mother is dissatisfied with the princess. " Naturally, the daughter of a military general family is different from that of a civil servant. Leisurely, I think I still like Shen Tian''s style of doing things. It''s crisp and easy. She hates to play in front of the plane like that.


    Lin Mu immediately shook her head. "How can I? I don''t mean that. I just feel a little surprised."


    Leisurely said, "I naturally know that mother doesn''t mean anything else, but it doesn''t have to be in other people''s ears. Now my younger brother is in a high position, and I don''t know how many people''s eyes are blocked. That is, there is no mistake. The villain still wants to plant some accusations for us. If we are not careful, the slightest carelessness will make people seize the pigtail. Therefore, we should pay more attention to mother''s speech in the future. "


    Lin''s mother sighed softly, "ah, I used to look forward to your brother''s future when he was in a hard time. I''ll be content in my life if I can be a little girl as I sing in the play. Today, the Taigong people who have achieved the four grades eat, wear and wear what they did not dare to think of before. On the contrary, they are not as simple and happy as they used to be in the village. I''m old and lazy. Your sister-in-law is a good one. In the future, all the social activities in the family will be given to shu''er. I''ll be an old Fengjun at home and just enjoy it. "


    Zhuang Shu said with a smile, "what''s the mother saying? Where are you old? Yesterday, when I went to the palace, the princess praised you as the elder sister of Xianggong. Moreover, I am younger after all, and my mother should teach me more. "


    Hearing this, Lin Mu hurriedly waved her hand. "I see your housekeeper is much stronger than me. There are rules for going out to socialize, and silk and satin bones are everywhere, like the earth. In the future, I''ll leave it to you. If you don''t understand, just discuss with Enron. " Zhuang Shu was a little surprised, but she said with a leisurely smile, "since your mother has given you the home, you can take care of it. Mother always does not like to worry, so she has to work hard for you. "


    In this way, Zhuang Shu took over the power of the family.


    At the end of the first month, general Ding Beiguan, who went to Beiguan, sent a victory report. All the rebels had been exterminated. Linjiang King committed suicide fearing sin, and his son Ling sijue was captured alive. The army of the Rocha Kingdom tried to fight back and was repulsed by the imperial army. The Imperial Court seized the opportunity to occupy the civil fort and other places that originally belonged to the Rocha kingdom. With the news of the victory, Emperor Longde was overjoyed, and the government finally swept away the haze in recent days and became active again.


    The emperor of Dakang never had the habit of being poor and generous. Since the place he occupied was his own. Although the queen of the Rocha Kingdom photographed envoys to ask for peace, and wanted to take back Tu Bu and other places, the imperial court did not accept her. How many strange looking women and some worthless furs and jewels do you want to return to the two beautiful cities? Longde Emperor didn''t even see these people, so he quickly set up a new Daning Weifu in the tumubao area, which governs the area from the north of the Great Wall to the south of Lamulun river.


    The state of Luocha saw that emperor Longde didn''t eat hard and soft, but there was no way. Their country is in ice and snow all the year round, and the severe cold all the year round results in insufficient grain reserves in the country, so they dare not launch a large-scale attack at all. In the end, he could only accept the blame by holding his nose. Of course, the minister who took the lead in encouraging the queen to support the king of Linjiang was also killed by the queen.


    However, this matter is far from over. Because of the sudden war in the area of yukouguan, the rebels burned, killed, robbed and recruited the strong men in the area. They committed all kinds of crimes, resulting in the destruction of a large number of people''s families and displacement. Now that the war is finally over, these people have lost their grain and their cultivated land has been destroyed. There is no hope for this season''s grain. Longde emperor received a memorial from the magistrate of Daning. First of all, he reduced and exempted this year''s taxes, and then dispatched relief grain and grass from the granary of the capital to support the basic life of the local people.


    Rao is so, there are still a large number of refugees gathered to the capital.

 Chapter 177

    Lundeti had to set up a refugee camp outside the city for temporary resettlement.


    After hearing about the refugees, Shen Tian immediately felt that this was a great opportunity to make a name for herself. She stood up and sat down when she saw the reward in the room. These days, the popularity of her royal family has been strong enough, and some things are even worse. Besides, now she is only the fifth Prince and concubine, with the crown prince and concubine as well as the eldest sister-in-law. Forget it, there''s a long way to go. Some things will be urgent for a while. She thought for a moment and wrote a letter to the princess. She received a gift of thanks that afternoon.


    Shen Tian touched his stomach and went to the front yard of the palace to see the king of Liang.


    Today''s King Liang is no longer the fifth prince whose mother died early and was bullied. Because of his success in rescuing the emperor, he was granted the title of Prince by Emperor Longde, and Shen Tian became a pro princess. Moreover, Shen Tian''s eldest son has now been established as the prince''s son, and her eldest daughter has been granted the title of Shujia princess. Although as the prince''s eldest children, their brother and sister will get a reward sooner or later, they usually wait until after the age of ten. First, the possibility of a child''s premature death after the age of 10 is very low. Second, it can save the imperial court some money. After all, these titles are not only good to hear, but also have the corresponding salary and treatment. The prince''s son can earn 1400 liang of silver and 1000 yuan of rice every year. The salary of the princess is one thousand Liang and eight hundred yuan.


    Even the eldest son of the crown prince is now supported by his parents. Shen Tian''s twins have already got their own salary before they are one year old. How can they not make people feel hot? Not to mention the gold and silver treasure the emperor and empress gave Shen Tian and his wife, and the fact that Shen Tian was pregnant again made some small-minded princes and concubines irritated.


    Fortunately, the husband and wife also understand the principle of "shooting birds in the head". After the injury of King Liang stabilized, they went back to King Liang''s house to thank guests behind closed doors in the name of rest, which made it impossible for others to start.


    Of course, the subsequent news comforted many people who were jealous of Shen Tian. Feng, Liang''s concubine, also found out that she was two months pregnant.


    Although they all have the meaning of seeing Shen Tian''s jokes, the children of the common people can''t compare with those of their own. The Empress Dowager and others in the palace just let the servants reward Shen Tian according to the rules. However, after hearing these two good news, Emperor Longde felt relieved. No matter what happens in the future, the fifth daughter-in-law has some blood and bones here. He is very satisfied with the fifth daughter-in-law who is able to give birth. Now he also gives Shen Tian a lot of things.


    It''s Feng''s injustice. When the princess was pregnant, she was rewarded by the palace. How come now that she is pregnant, the palace is also rewarded by the princess? Fortunately, Shen Tian''s power is growing day by day, and Feng''s favor is not as good as before. Even if she has resentment, she only dares to mutter in her heart. Shen Tian naturally would not be stingy at such a time. She was asked to pick out some good things and send them to her. In addition, there were a hundred taels of gold and a bag of silver coins. After seeing the real gold and silver, Feng''s anger was instantly calmed.


    Compared with the silk and satin jewelry that the king of Liang rewarded, the real gold and silver ones were more popular with Feng. After all, she''s not Shen Tian, the housekeeper. All the people in the house have to do something about it. She doesn''t have a dowry, and she doesn''t have help from her mother''s family. How can she live without some money? For a moment, Feng felt that she was still the princess.


    Liang Wang''s injury is not serious, mainly because the remaining poison is difficult to clear, so although his injury has been scarred, his body is still very weak.


    When Shen Tian came, Wang Liang''s aide Xu Cheng was also there. Mr. Xu has a big beard, so there is nothing to avoid. The king of Liang met Shen Tian and said with a smile, "you''re just in time. I''m discussing with Mr. Xu about setting up a porridge shed outside the city. It''s said that elder brother, they use good japonica rice. I originally planned to use brown rice. Our family doesn''t need silver, or we should use japonica rice as well? "


    Shen Tian looks at Mr. Xu and says, "I don''t know what Mr. Xu thinks?"


    Mr. Xu felt his beard and said, "it''s up to the Lord and the empress to decide this."


    Mr. Xu is really very crafty. He has not made much contribution, but his shelf is getting bigger and bigger. Seeing that Xu Cheng was unreliable, Shen Tian didn''t count on him. At the moment, he said with a smile, "is the king building the porridge shed to win the people''s love, or to bid farewell to the king of Chu?" Liang Wang was stunned, then nodded and said, "naturally, the former is important, but can''t you win a good reputation by cooking porridge with superior rice?"


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "Wang Ye doesn''t manage the house everyday. I don''t know the price outside. Now on the market one or two silver can buy a stone, ordinary japonica rice can buy two stone brown rice, and superior japonica rice is one or two silver one stone. The common people usually eat brown rice, after all, they can save half of their money. According to the daily need of 200 stone rice to calculate, with brown rice porridge only 100 Liang silver, and with superior japonica rice is 200 Liang. It''s not that I love silver. Those refugees from outside the city come here, and they only ask for food. If we use the same money to buy more rice for them, won''t it benefit more people? "


    If the king of liang thought about it, Xu Cheng twirled his beard and said, "the princess''s account is rather loud, but the prince is a noble in heaven, and now he is the only prince among the princes. How can he be too petty?"


    Shen Tian said with a sneer, "Sir, do you mean the princess is too mean?"


    Xu Cheng twisted his white beard and said, "how dare you."


    Seeing him like this, Shen Tian didn''t bother to talk to him and said to the prince, "although the prince is now a prince, the most valuable one among the princes is his royal highness. Don''t just look at how the king of Chu acts. You''d better look at his royal highness. "


    After hearing this, the king of Liang, who was still hesitant, immediately called in the chief manager of the palace, "go and send someone to find out what kind of rice is used in the porridge shed set up by the crown princess this year?"


    The manager replied, "the little one has already made it clear. The princess uses brown rice, but the rice porridge is thick enough to eat. Although the king of Chu and the king of Wei used superior japonica rice, it was extremely rare and there were not many grains of rice. The refugees who received rice porridge complained a lot


    After hearing this, the king of Liang took a look at Shen Tian and told the general pipeline, "in this case, if you go to arrange the porridge shed yourself, you can do it according to the porridge shed of the crown princess, and you don''t need any superior rice. But rice porridge must be thicker, and bad rice, moldy rice, etc. are not allowed to be used to make up for it. "


    The manager promised not to mention it. Xu Chengjian had come to this point, so he left.

 Chapter 178

    After he left, the king of Liang hugged Shen Tian and said, "Mr. Xu is stubborn. You don''t have to have the same opinion with him. When I was at the end of my life, it was rare for him not to dislike it. That is to say, I always wanted to leave him a bit of dignity. Otherwise, it would not make the people at the bottom feel cold? "


    Shen Tian chuckled. "Look what the LORD said, I''m not mean. Besides, how many times a year do I see him? I''m angry with him Although she said that, Shen Tian went back to her yard to find someone to check Xu Cheng''s details. She always felt that there was something wrong with the old man.


    Sure enough, news came from her subordinates in the afternoon that Xu Cheng had recently accepted a concubine. One of the concubine''s distant uncles was a steward in the Wu palace. Moreover, the Xu family recently spent a lot of money generously. They bought a house in the city, and they also bought a lot of furniture and servants.


    Shen Tian sneered when he found out that King Wu always behaved like a gentle and polite eldest son. He couldn''t see that he was also a man with a heart. His hand was long enough. She was too lazy to deal with the old man, and could tolerate his poor and mean manner. But now she and the king of Liang''s interests are the same, if the king of Liang is not good, she will not get the benefits, so quietly ordered a "find a way to reveal this matter to the king''s people."


    After a few days, Shen Tian heard that Mr. Xu, an aide of the royal family, accidentally startled the horse when he went out of the car. He was thrown out of the car and hit his head on a big stone, so he fell dead.


    Xu Cheng''s family also came to the palace to cry, thinking of some comfort, but Shen Tian sent them away with two hundred taels of silver.


    This matter didn''t even splash in the capital and dissipated like that.


    It was the princess''s flower feast that was very successful. But she said that after the flower feast, the princess and the princesses donated a large amount of money to the imperial court for the resettlement of the victims. With the royal family members taking the lead, they all gave up their money one after another. That is, leisurely also donated 2000 taels of silver. She has no intention to stand out, compared with Shen Ze''s official position.


    What leisurely has been wondering is, whether it''s in previous TV novels or in this life, in fact, how do you have to give porridge when you meet refugees? It''s just in the south, but it''s in the capital! No matter from the northeast or from the south, the price of rice in Beijing is not much cheaper than that of white flour because of the long distance. Isn''t steamed bread more satisfying than porridge? If you think white flour is expensive, you can use black flour. It''s really not good. You can also use corn flour, coarse cereals flour and other steamed buns. The cost is not much more expensive than porridge.


    I don''t understand! In addition to porridge, rich families have so many clothes they don''t wear that they can give away. Besides, if these refugees come from other places and travel a long way, it is inevitable that some of them will get sick and have fever. The imperial court should also let the Tai hospital make some common pills and distribute them, so that the refugees will not die because they have no money to treat. There are more dead people, one is easy to cause riots and panic, the other is easy to cause pestilence.


    Although leisurely wants to do something good, he doesn''t want to be conspicuous. She quietly told her brother what she thought. Enron felt that what her sister said was very reasonable, so she wrote a memorial to the prince.


    The prince was very happy to see the memorial. Now several brothers are eyeing him. Although he has never had a fault, he also needs to do some good things to benefit the country and the people to consolidate his political status. So he embellished the memorial and handed it to Emperor Lund.


    Seeing that the prince''s memorial was very pertinent and pragmatic, Emperor Longde also heard about the eldest son''s practice. He was not in favor of this style of fishing for fame. However, the prince is worthy of being the crown prince of a country. The pattern is broad, and he sincerely considers for the court and the people. Longde Di was very happy to pat the prince on the shoulder. "You''ve made great progress recently. Since you proposed it, I''ll leave it to you personally."


    The prince took the order and went to the east palace to discuss the matter. If you want to say that the people who can get into Zhan Shi''s house are also outstanding. Although they didn''t think of this for a moment, they can also say that they are right when they have a clue. Soon, the eastern palace formulated a series of principles and policies, and the prince ordered Lin Enron to personally supervise the matter. There''s no need to elaborate on the process, and the end result is happy. Enron had a firm foothold in the East Palace and became the prince''s confidant. And leisurely in imperceptible again pushed younger brother.


    Although the battle was won, the army''s grain, grass and military pay were not small. In addition, in order to resettle the victims, the imperial court first set up Shouan hospital to provide free treatment and corresponding medicines for the victims.


    In addition, since the government has set up Daning Prefecture, it naturally doesn''t want all the people there to go away. Therefore, it was stipulated that all the people in yukouguan and Daning Prefecture who wanted to return to their hometown could sign up at the temporary refugee center set up by the imperial court with household stickers. The imperial court arranged a carriage to send them back to their hometown, and undertook all the food and accommodation problems on the way. After returning to their hometown, they were given a certain amount of home money according to their heads. Adult is one or two silver, children half. In addition, in order to solve the personal problems of frontier soldiers, all young women aged between 16 and 25 who are in good health, regardless of their first marriage or second marriage, are willing to go back to the frontier to marry the soldiers. The imperial court will give them five liang of silver and ten jin of grain. The top 100 applicants also presented a pair of silver cloves and three feet of red cloth.


    Most of the people in this world are unwilling to leave their hometown. They were forced to do nothing before. If there is no food there, people will worry about their lives at any time. Now that the imperial court has such good conditions, everyone is moved. Families with girls of school age can''t wait to go back and marry them. The price of the border area is low. Five Liang silver is enough for a family of three to spend two or three years.


    Just after the first month, the weather gradually warmed up, no worries of the victims have set foot on the road home.


    This series of measures of the imperial court naturally won the praise of the people, and the reputation of the royal family reached its peak at this moment.


    It''s just that such a good reputation depends on money. Although the refugees have left, some poor people in other places have heard that there are free medical places in the capital, and some of them have traveled thousands of miles to visit the capital on foot. It''s just the medical expenses. Anyway, all the doctors here are paid by the imperial court. What''s more expensive is the medicine expenses. Although the medicinal materials and pills of Shouan hospital are the cheapest, they can''t stand a large number. It''s really not a small expense.


    The Ministry of accounts submitted the expenditure of Shouan hospital to Longde Di, who also had a headache. In recent months, the National Treasury has not recorded much, and it has spent a lot. The soldiers who died in the war always had to be paid for, and the imperial court recruited many new soldiers in various places. In addition, they resettled refugees and rewarded meritorious officials. If it wasn''t for the heavy foundation left by their ancestors, the household department would not have been able to open the pot.

 Chapter 179

    The Treasury was about to go to the end, and Longde was very worried. He felt sorry for the ancestors. He''s not the tyrant, he just knows how to overcharge. For a while and a half, he didn''t think of any good way. Finally, the Secretary of the Ministry of household reminded him that he had copied so many princes'' and ministers'' property before, which was not a small number. There are also the family members of the criminals who are held in the prison. They are all dead. Why don''t they sell what they left behind.


    So with a big wave of his hand, lundeti decided to sell all these things. There are many people who have been copied. Naturally, there are many good things. Although some people used to think about it, the Emperor didn''t say anything and no one dared to move it. Now that we have the will, we have to do it one after another. The entire contents of the two big houses were divided up in a few days.


    It is the imperial guards who are in charge of these properties. Naturally, Shen Ze will not pretend to be noble. He asked leisurely, "do you have anything in particular you like? I''ll go and buy some for you. I think there are many excellent jewels and jade in it


    Leisurely said with a smile, "I don''t lack these things now, but you should ask if there is a suitable big house, you can buy one. If we don''t live by ourselves, we can leave it to our son. There will not be so many empty houses in the capital. What''s more, there are some unusual books that you can buy more. Compared with gold and silver, this is a more suitable treasure to pass on to your descendants. " Now Shen Ze is a senior official of zhengsanpin, and there are more and more servants in his family. It''s OK that his children are still young. In a few years, the children will be older, and Kangtai will add some younger brothers and sisters. The house will be very cramped, so we have to make plans early.


    Shen Ze gently held her hand, "it''s still the long-term thought of the lady. You can rest assured that it will be done properly for your husband."


    Since you want to buy something, you have to take money. After getting married, leisurely always wanted to buy some fields and shops with money, but he didn''t meet the right one, so it was delayed. Now that he had the chance, leisurely took out twenty thousand taels of cash for Shen Ze to spend. She didn''t want to be too conspicuous.


    Shen Ze said, "don''t worry. I haven''t seen anything yet."


    Leisurely just give him "you take it with you, is it difficult to meet the right things and then let people come back to get it?" Deep Ze just want to say can first credit, but see leisurely firm eyes had to swallow words to the stomach.


    Then leisurely took out a five hundred taels gold ticket and said, "the silver just now belongs to our family. You look at the purchase of land and shops. This is my private room. You should pay attention to help me get some unique embroideries. You can buy some smaller shops. "


    So the next day Shen Ze went to take care of it with a huge sum of money. Leisurely did not forget his mother''s family. He sent someone to his mother''s house to ask if he wanted to buy something. As a result, Zhuang Shu sent people back and forth, Enron had already taken 1000 mu of land in the suburbs of Beijing from the prince, and the rest didn''t want to go.


    I heard that my younger brother had gained something, so leisurely I didn''t worry about it any more. Taking advantage of the sunshine, I took Kangtai to the yard to bask in the sun for a while.


    Kangtai, now seven months old, is a lively little boy, full of curiosity about everything. When you don''t sleep, you can''t stop crawling on the bed or couch. Whenever leisurely want to teach him a lesson, looking at his big black eyes flickering at himself, I feel that my heart will melt, and the tone of scolding is often unconsciously softened. Fortunately, the older a boy is, the more his father teaches him, and there are no rules and regulations for children who are still under one year old.


    Shen Ze really lived up to leisurely''s high expectations. When he came back in the evening, in addition to a few boxes of books, he also stuffed leisurely with a one foot square brocade box.


    Leisurely open the box, the first thing you see is a set of emerald jewelry. Although the color can''t reach the level of emerald, it''s almost the same. The base is pure, and no impurity can be seen with naked eye. What''s more rare is that this set of jewelry is not inlaid with any gold and silver jewelry. Instead, it uses emerald to carve out a hollow lotus Style Bead hairpin, a pair of auspicious cloud pattern hairpins, a comb, a pair of round bracelets and a finger. It seems that these jewels are made from a stone. Although leisurely also has several sets of jadeite jewelry, but when people heavy industry, bracelets just, hairpins and other things are mostly wrapped with gold and silver inlaid. Leisurely doesn''t like this kind of work, but her several sets of jewelry are given by others, so she can''t say anything. And the best jadeite jewelry will not appear in the general silver house, so she has not a set of jadeite head that she likes very much.


    The jewelry Shen Ze brought back today can be regarded as a gift to leisurely heart.


    When Shen Ze sees his daughter-in-law''s happy face, he knows that she likes it. When he sees his daughter-in-law happy, he will be happy.


    Leisurely looked at his husband, took out the trigger finger from the brocade box and put it on Shen Ze''s index finger. It was just right. Leisurely said with a smile, "this is what I put on you. You can''t take it off easily."


    Shen Ze looked at her childish action and said, "OK, I''ll listen to whatever you say." Leisurely looking at each other''s affectionate eyes, involuntarily attracted into.


    The next day, leisurely wake up when the sky is already bright. See wrinkled into a bunk of bed, leisurely and lightly put on clothes, a little clean up just make a sound.


    Hearing the news, Yutan came in to serve her and got up. Leisurely asked, "what time is it? You didn''t call me


    Yu Tan said with a smile, "when I left in the morning, I specially ordered not to wake up my wife. There is bird''s nest porridge on the kitchen stove. Does madam use it now or ever? "


    Leisurely said, "use it now." Then stop the action of Yutan to help her make up, "you let them burn some hot water, I want to bath."


    Yutan nodded and went out to arrange.


    Sitting leisurely on the concubine''s couch in front of the window, I saw the brocade box of last night. I was dragged to bed by someone when I saw half of it last night. I didn''t finish reading everything. In addition to this set of jadeite jewelry, there are several other jewelry and two best pigeon blood gems in the brocade box. In addition, there are several bills. When you look at them leisurely, you can see that there are two land titles and one land title. In accordance with her wishes, Shen Ze bought a Wujin house near Zhengyang Street, a shop in Xicheng and a Chuang Tzu in the southern suburb of Beijing. Chuang Tzu has 1200 mu of land. Her gold ticket didn''t move, and there were two thousand taels of silver left.

 Chapter 180

    Leisurely while feeling that things are cheap, he asked someone to take a new blue and white pen and wash it. After washing it, he poured in the clear Yushan spring water and the snow water on the plum blossom collected a few days ago. He put those jadeite jewelry in and soaked it for three days and three nights. During this period, he changed the water every two hours. In this way, not only can the dirt on the jadeite be cleaned, but also the smell of someone who has worn the jewelry.


    After Shen Tian came back in the evening, the whole family had dinner. Shen Xi went back to his yard and held back leisurely. There were only two husband and wife and Kang Tai who refused to go out. Leisurely and worried, he asked, "why did so many things cost less than 20000 taels of silver? I''ve read the books you brought back. There are many ancient books. Put them outside. These books alone are more than that. Will it hurt your reputation? "


    Shen Ze patted her hand and said, "don''t worry, I''m measured. As long as we don''t say, who knows if I''m buying a single book or an ordinary book? It''s just that some broken books are not worth a cent in the eyes of people who don''t know how to write them. They all want to give them to me, and I still give them a thousand taels of silver. Don''t worry. Your majesty knows all these things. He just turns a blind eye. Otherwise, the people who are in charge of this matter are all the meritorious officials of the past few years. It''s just that your majesty changed his way to reward you. " Then he teased Kangtai there.


    Kangtai didn''t know what to say to his father. Shen Ze picked up his son, but Kangtai kicked the box off the couch. The box was the one that contained jadeite jewelry yesterday. He picked it up leisurely and nodded at his son''s forehead with a smile. "You troublemaker, it''s lucky that all the things in it have been taken out, otherwise you will be broken." With regret, he stroked the mother of Pearl copy on the red lacquer box. The original perfect flower and bird pattern was broken by a corner.


    Leisurely said with regret, "now such exquisite mother of Pearl craftsmanship is rare." Then she opened the box again to see if there was any damage inside, only to find that the flannelette on the bottom of the box had fallen out, revealing a piece of paper hidden under it.


    Leisurely originally thought it might be someone else''s banknote or something, so he opened it directly. There were many lines on it. Leisurely said that he couldn''t understand it, and handed it to Shen Ze directly. "I can''t understand it. Look, maybe it''s a treasure map."


    Shen Ze took a look and said for a while, "I''m afraid this is really a treasure map."


    Leisurely surprised, "is it true?" Oh, my God, she just said it casually. She didn''t think it was really a treasure map. She couldn''t help asking, "then who could have hidden it?"


    Shen Ze shook his head. "I don''t know. It''s just that the terrain looks familiar. It seems that I''ve seen it somewhere." After that, he looked around and saw that there was no outsider, so he said, "this is rotten in your stomach. Don''t tell anyone. We don''t know that. " Then he burned the drawing with candle fire, and he was not ready to rebel. Now his family has enough money to spend. What''s the use of asking for so many treasures? As for turning in? That''s even more impossible. Outsiders won''t believe that he has such a mind. Maybe they will bite back and frame him up for collusion with the rebel party! I''m afraid it will bring disaster instead.


    Since it is a hidden treasure, let it continue to be buried there, and one day someone will find it.


    Although Youran is a little interested in treasure map, when he thinks that these things are found from the stolen property, he may have a lot to do with the rebels, so he acquiesces to Shen Ze''s method. She is just curious about the legendary treasure map, but she is not very interested in those treasures. Fortune is not fortune! However, Shen Ze''s performance is beyond her expectation. As a talented person, she will see things more thoroughly. Unexpectedly, her husband is also such a wise person!


    Take another look at the emerald jewelry in the blue and white brush wash, and sigh leisurely, "it''s a pity that such a good jewelry should be destroyed to avoid further trouble." Then he fell to the ground and was stopped by Shen Ze. "You like this set of jewelry so much, just keep them."


    Leisurely frowned, "but this set of jewelry is too conspicuous. If someone wants to recognize it, isn''t it trouble?" Shen Ze took the brush wash and said with a smile, "then I''ll carve it again. Don''t worry. I''ll leave these little things to my husband. You have a rest. I''ll go to the study Then he took the pen and went to the front yard. See him so God dense, leisurely helpless smile, and then a Leng God of Kung Fu, his body was Kangtai left a line of watermarks.


    "You little rascal," he said Kang Taixu knew that he had done something wrong and smilingly showed his "toothless" smile to his mother. Leisurely look at him this play rogue appearance, also can only be laughing and crying. Xu is tired. Kangtai''s little head is in his mother''s arms, little by little. He holds him in his arms and taps him gently. Xiaokang Tai will soon fall asleep. Leisurely looking at his son''s sleeping appearance, smelling his son''s milk. I thought that although God let her live this life again, she had no ambition. She only wanted to live a peaceful life. As for those who are rebellious, the farther away they are from themselves, the better.


    In the study, Shen Ze took out a dusty box from the top of the bookshelf and wiped off the dust with a rag. After opening the box, there is a complete set of carving tools inside.


    Looking at these things, Shen Ze seems to think of the time when his father held himself in his arms and taught him carving techniques bit by bit in his childhood. With a slight sigh, Shen Ze took out the knives of different sizes and wiped them clean. This set of carving knives was made by a famous foundry master invited by his father at that time and was given to him as a weak crown gift. Even if not used for many years, it is still as bright and sharp as new.


    Thinking of the past, if my father didn''t die young in those years, I think now I will go on the opposite road. Shen Ze sighed and began to put his mind back on the carving knife.


    After all, I haven''t done it for many years, so I''m not familiar with it. In addition, Shen Ze had not carved jade ornaments before, but only Shoushan stone, so he took a jade ornament in his study to practice. The materials of this set of jadeite jewelry are extremely excellent, and Shen Ze is not willing to waste them. It''s very rare to have such top-quality old jadeite now. Otherwise, Shen Ze would just buy another set for his daughter-in-law. He doesn''t have to worry about it.

 Chapter 181

    An hour later, the original one foot high landscape ornament is only half the size of the original. Although the pattern is still landscape pattern, it is quite different from the original. Shen Zeduan studied for a long time and felt that his carving was more elegant than the original. Although the technology for a while and a half will not be fully proficient, but the problem is not big. Seeing that it was late, Shen Ze packed up his things and locked them in his cupboard. Then he went back to his room to have a rest.


    After about half a month, leisurely almost forgot about it. That day, Shen Ze suddenly handed her a box. When you open it leisurely, you can see that this set of jewelry is completely different from the original one.


    The original set of jewelry, on the whole, felt grand and luxurious. Although the size of this set of jewelry is small, the graceful Hibiscus pattern has also become elegant plum blossom style, but leisurely, she felt that the set in front of her was more relaxed and elegant, and she liked it more.


    Leisurely quickly thanks Shen Ze, holding the jewelry box and laughing happily. The more she looks at this set of jewelry, the more she likes her husband. She''s really good at carving jadeite jewelry. The key is that it''s beautiful. Thinking of this, she joked, "Xianggong, these carvings are really good, much better than the original ones. You''re so secretive, even this one. If one day you don''t become a general and open a carving shop, you will become a famous artist. "


    Seeing her so happy, Shen Ze felt satisfied. After hearing this, he just shook his head with a smile.


    Rare for a long time, leisurely will jewelry box carefully put up. It''s time to make up for Fang Xinsu. I''m ready to take this set of jewelry that day.


    Emperor Longde copied more than a dozen rebellious houses. Although these traitors hid and transferred some of their assets before the incident, the stolen goods were not only put into the emperor''s private Treasury, but also exchanged more than 20 million cash. Long de Di looked at his private Treasury full of money. With a wave of his hand, he allocated all the money to the Department of accounts. All of a sudden, the Ministry of household affairs was overjoyed, and the pressure of these days was wiped out.


    With this money, it was enough to support the establishment of Shouan yuan in more than 30 important cities in the whole country, which was directly supervised by the household Department of the imperial court and not under the control of local officials. After three years, the imperial court will gradually reduce the expenditure on this, and the imperial court will allow all localities to increase some profit-making measures according to the actual situation.


    In fact, when Gaozu was young, he wanted to set up a tired institution, but at that time, the State Treasury was empty soon after the world was peaceful, so Gaozu focused on improving people''s livelihood, and the matter was over.


    Now, seeing what emperor Gaozu didn''t accomplish, Emperor Longde is very complacent and relies more on the prince who contributed to it. For a time, the prince''s reputation in the court was even more prosperous.


    When Emperor Lund was in a good mood and all the affairs in the court were stabilized, some officials from the Ministry of rites came to the stage. This year should be the year of general election. Originally, no one mentioned the incident in the imperial court. Now that everything has been settled, the Ministry of rites came to ask the emperor what he meant. At this age, lundeti didn''t have much interest in those young girls. He looked at the fold and went to the Queen''s palace to discuss with the queen. See empress is preparing the square heart element add makeup gift, just think of oneself this daughter is about to get married. So he immediately said, "after the king of Rongjun and the imperial court are meritorious, and Princess Le''an is also a meritorious official, let the house of internal affairs handle it carefully. It must not be simple."


    After King Liang recovered, Emperor Longde gave him the job of the house of internal affairs. Liang Wang and Qi Heng are good friends, and Fang Xinsu is the cousin of Princess Liang. Even if emperor Longde did not say it, King Liang would not let his subordinates neglect him. Now with the emperor''s advice, the bride price and dowry of Liang wangle have been increased.


    The queen said to lundeti with a smile, "Le''an is deeply loved by her mother, and those people in the house dare not neglect her. There are many happy events in the Palace this year. In March, it is the wedding of Le''an and Wang Rongjun. In May, it is the wedding of Le Zhen. It''s just that some of Le Yi and Le Ru in the palace have reached their age, and some of the right age clansmen want to ask for your Majesty''s marriage. "


    Lundeti nodded. "It happened that the Ministry of rites had just made a compromise and asked about the election. I thought I would let go of many things this year, but I forgot the children of the imperial family. Even a few married princes, the mansion has not entered the side imperial concubine for a long time. In this case, the general election will be avoided first, which will cost the people and money. Take the girl of the age of five or above in registered residence in the capital city to participate in the draft. Under the imperial edict, people with suitable conditions are naturally busy with their daughter''s choice, and the capital becomes extremely lively again.


    After listening to the news, Shen Tian thought to herself that after the election, she was afraid that she would be a new man in her palace. From the day of the wedding, Shen Tian has been ready for this kind of preparation. When it comes to the end, there is no big reaction, but there is a little diaphragm that should be true. She secretly told her men to go to the coastal area to collect more superior pearls, gems and silk fabrics, and to prepare some good wood.


    After the election, it means marriage. Whether it''s for the imperial family or the prince, the dowry can''t be thin. Although Shen Tian is a little flustered, she still takes the opportunity to earn some money.


    Although there are many dowries and salaries on her face, the private soldiers and manpower she secretly trained are not small, and she can not use the property on her face, so she can only think of ways in the dark. Fortunately, at this time, the Zou family of the emperor merchant came together.


    The Zou family is the rich businessman that Enron once taught. His family was recommended by Fang Xinjian to her cousin. It''s very secret. No one knows about it except Fang Xinjian and the owner of the Zou family. Fang Xinjian''s brain is not stupid. Although she vaguely knows that her cousin''s plot is not small, she also has the idea of making contributions and is unwilling to live on her father''s shadow. Caution does not mean timidity, so when Shen Tian throws an olive branch at him, he picks it up impolitely. Although they didn''t say it, they knew each other well.


    Shen Tian has no one to use. Although his father has given him some hands, some things can''t be handled by his subordinates. Her brother is small, Shen Ze is quite suitable, but his every move in the capital camp at that time was too eye-catching. So Shen Tian had to ask her cousin for help. At the beginning, she just held the idea of emergency and handed over a few small things to Fang Xinjian.


    Unexpectedly, Fang Xinjian''s ability to handle affairs was beyond her expectation. Now she is Shen Tian''s right hand.

 Chapter 182

    Here, Shen Tian just passed on his orders. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he listened to the report to the Lord. She welcomed to the door, only to see the king of Liang with a maid of Ai Ai came.


    Shen Tian looked at the way the servant girl was walking. She snorted coldly. As the mother of two children, Shen Tian is now pregnant with a second child. Naturally, at a glance, she can see that the servant girl behind the king of Liang is pregnant.


    Although she despised Liang Wang''s style in her heart, she bowed herself and said with a smile, "why did Wang ye come here with a servant girl? I have no shortage of servants here. "


    Liang Wang coughed with embarrassment, pointed to the servant girl and said, "this is Hong Xiu, who was waiting in the study. Years ago, when I was drunk and sleeping in my study, she served me. I didn''t tell you if it wasn''t a big deal. Who would have thought she was pregnant... "


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "what''s the big deal about me? It turns out that it''s such a small matter. Just send someone to tell me. I went there specially. Is it because I''m afraid I''ll treat her coldly? " Hum, I''m afraid only Tianxiang didn''t read at night? She doesn''t think much of Liang Wang. She is a woman lover, but she always regards herself as a gentleman.


    Liang Wang also knew that he had not done it properly, so he said with a smile, "how can I? It''s just a servant girl. I don''t worry about it. I was wrong about this. I''m afraid you''ll be angry? If you don''t want to go down with a bowl of soup, everything will be over. I don''t have another word. " Hearing this, the tea can not help but play a shiver.


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "what are you talking about? The baby in her stomach was born and didn''t call me" mother Princess "? I can''t bear you. It''s just that you should tell me about it earlier so that I can find a proper person to take care of it. Since it was two years ago, it''s more than two months now. Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise we would have lost a child? "


    Finish saying, it seems to be to see tea is still kneeling on the ground did not get up, hastily said, "you have no color of this lift, do not quickly help the girl up.". I''ll go to the imperial doctor again, so I can give her a pulse diagnosis. " Then they asked people to clean up the yard and arrange for the servants not to mention it.


    The king of Liang saw that Shen Tian was slightly envious, but he arranged it in an orderly way. He could not help feeling a little satisfied. I feel that I really married a virtuous and generous imperial concubine. But what he didn''t see clearly was that Shen Tian''s heart was cold to him.


    I''m afraid only a man thinks it''s natural for his wife to take care of the pregnant side room. Why don''t you think about it? If your wife is pregnant with another man''s child and then turns to you to take care of it, how would you feel?


    Shen Tian grew up in this kind of environment since he was a child. He was used to this kind of thing, so he could barely accept it. She knows that she has no ability to oppose these things, so instead of crying and making people tired, she should be more generous, at least not let people see jokes.


    This is the sorrow of all women in this era, which can not be escaped.


    Leisurely learned about it when he went to pay his respects to Han. Although Shen Tian had a second child, he wanted to have two more concubines in the house of King Liang. He was afraid that Shen Tian would not be happy if he was as strong as Shen Tian.


    Think of that beautiful woman, leisurely heart can not help but give birth to a few silk melancholy. Half of it is for Shen Tian, generally for himself. Although Shen Ze never mentioned the issue of concubine, it doesn''t mean that he won''t be in the future. Although he once said the words of his life to himself, how credible is the man''s oath? In case of a similar situation one day, where should I go?


    Leisurely some don''t understand, don''t understand, had to put it on hold. I''ll talk about it later. It''s most important to live in the present.


    In the Dakang Dynasty, officials'' daughters were not forced to participate in the draft. Some families did not want their daughters to suffer in the palace, so they applied for exemption. Since this period of time, the young and promising Fang Xin Jian has suddenly come into our attention. This has been living in the aura of Le''an princess, no reputation of cloud riding Duwei, once appeared on their own light. Now I''m only 17 years old, and I''m already the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard from grade three. I have the title of riding captain of grade three. I''m really a dragon and Phoenix among people. He grew up in Zhongguo government when he was a child. Even after he got married, he could not be too far away from his uncle''s family. Naturally, many people wanted to give him advice. Even a few princes want to get married with this family, so they can''t bring him over, but it''s OK to make a quarrel between him and Lao Wu! It''s just that women still have to show up for this matter, so they all ask the imperial concubines in the palace for help. If they don''t have the imperial concubines, they let their own concubines come out. It''s necessary to make trouble for Zhongguo government.


    The imperial concubines who got the news of their son went to the Empress Dowager''s palace to ask for her good-bye. The Empress Dowager''s decision was still up to her. The Empress Dowager recovered from her illness. Originally, Longde did not want her mother to do such laborious work. However, the Empress Dowager herself likes it. The old man likes to do something about insurance. With this busy work, some of the sick people are getting healthier and healthier.


    It is learned that the Empress Dowager is looking for a suitable candidate for Fang Xinjian. The eldest prince''s biological mother, Princess De, the third prince''s biological mother, Princess Wei, the fourth Prince''s biological mother, Princess Chen, and the sixth Prince''s biological mother, Princess Shu, have successively recommended girls of the right age to the Empress Dowager. It''s not their mother''s relatives, it''s the princess''s mother''s relatives. The Empress Dowager just gave a little smile and said she would look at it again. She didn''t agree to any one.


    Therefore, these days, the empress dowagers are more attentive to the empress dowager, which makes the old lady a little annoyed.


    On this day, the concubines came to greet the Empress Dowager again. Found that in addition to the queen, the queen also sat next to a young girl. The girl is beautiful, graceful and elegant. At first glance, she is a girl with a scholarly family.


    Looking at her similar appearance to the queen, people secretly guessed that she was the Queen''s family member? Not surprisingly, the Empress Dowager''s words confirmed everyone''s conjecture. This girl''s surname is not Meng, but a girl from the Kong family of Yan Sheng mansion. Miss Kong''s biological mother is empress Meng''s sister, so she looks very similar to empress Meng.


    The Queen''s family is in Shandong Province. When did this girl come to the palace quietly? At the time of the election season, what''s the idea of the queen bringing her niece to the palace?

 Chapter 183

    Although everyone speculated in their hearts, they did not dare to fall behind when they saw that the Empress Dowager had given her a generous gift. They asked people to give her a gift.


    Girl Kong is not old, but she is very calm. She still salutes and thanks one by one when she sees so many valuable things.


    Even though the imperial concubines and the empress are natural enemies, they have to admit that they are worthy of being the girls from the Kong family of the millennial family. They have a great bearing.


    Just when everyone guessed that empress Meng would not let Miss Kong enter the palace for the sake of keeping her in favor, someone from the palace came to report that "Princess Le''an married here."


    The Empress Dowager hurriedly asked people to come in. Fang Xinsu took two pots of top-quality Camellia from leisurely and gave them to the Empress Dowager. "As soon as my daughter got these two pots of Camellia, it was rare to see the color, so she brought them in to the Empress Dowager to have a look."


    The Empress Dowager said with a smile, "the flowers you bring in are no worse. The gardeners in the palace can''t grow them any more. Look how fresh the flowers are. It''s hard for you. At this time, I still want to send something to this old woman. How''s everything going? "


    Fang Xinsu knew that the dowry was what the Empress Dowager was talking about. She blushed and nodded, "the Empress Dowager can rest assured that her aunt is very attentive and everything has been ready for a long time."


    "The Empress Dowager said with a smile," Mrs. loyal has always been a proper person. I''m not worried about having her at home. It''s just a question in vain. " After that, he said to the queen, "take time to ask. If everything is ready, it will be sent to the Shen family very early. When is it? Can you wait until you get married? Send it earlier, or let Mrs. Shen know what to add or subtract. "


    The empress said with a smile, "the house of internal affairs has been prepared for a long time, but the emperor asked again a few days ago. The servants over there were busy adding a layer to it, so they were delayed. It must have been two days. I''ve got a few things there, too, and I''ll have them delivered with me


    Seeing that they discussed their dowry in front of her, Fang Xinsu could not help feeling a little embarrassed and annoyed. She pulled the Empress Dowager''s sleeve "Niangniang" in a coquettish way


    Seeing that she was shy, the Empress Dowager stopped talking and praised the two pots of Camellia. "Not to mention, the two pots of Camellia you brought today are really rare. It''s really strange that there are two colors on a flower, and the two colors set off each other. Is this flower still owned by Shen Shu Ren? "


    Seeing Fang Xinsu nodding, the Empress Dowager praised, "I guess that although I haven''t met Shen Shuren, the flowers she raised are full of aura. I think she must be Zhong lingyuxiu."


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "yes, Shen Shuren is a rare transparent person."


    Although her concubines were not angry, they all laughed and said nothing. Anyway, Shen Shu''s flowers were really good.


    But Xia Jieyu, who just gave birth to the ninth Prince last year, said with a smile, "it''s not clear how Shen Shu looks, but her mind is not so exquisite. It is said that she used to be just a servant girl beside Mrs. Shen, but now she has become a lady of three grades. Mrs. Shen really loves her own people. She doesn''t hesitate to let the master of the Shen family marry a servant girl. "


    This words, unexpectedly is will leisurely and Han''s all gave to arrange up, the square heart Su Dun time Qi''s flowery twigs and turns to tremble.


    The Empress Dowager scolded at the moment and said, "OK, what are you? You dare to arrange the imperial court''s orders! You look down upon Shen Shuren''s servant girl background. Don''t you remember that you are also a maid of honor? No matter how poor Shen Shuren was born, his mother''s brother is also the best talent. Is your mother''s family a little worse than the Lin family? "


    The Empress Dowager turned to look at the wronged Fang Xinsu and said, "you''ve stirred up your good interest. Come on, blow her out. Don''t let me see her again. " This is the meaning of not letting Xia Jieyu come again. Xia Jieyu is a new favorite of emperor Longde in recent years. She is sweet and smart. She gave birth to five princesses and nine princesses successively. In a few years, she became the third grade lady of Jieyu from the bottom maid of the palace. It''s a time of complacency. For the sake of two children, the Empress Dowager always gives her some face. Did not expect today for a few words, the Empress Dowager on their own.


    Not to mention how Xia Jieyu went back to her palace in tears.


    Seeing that the Empress Dowager had fallen in love with Xia Jieyu, the imperial concubines could not help but feel satisfied. In recent years, Xia Jieyu has done a lot of things depending on the emperor''s favor, but the concubines have their own identity and are not willing to fight against his favorite concubines in the emperor''s interest. Xia Jieyu has today''s fanaticism, which is not necessarily the result of people''s deliberate support. But it''s true that Xia Jieyu is not smart enough.


    The Empress Dowager turned to look at the girl Kong standing beside the queen. Just smile the other side Xin Su say "don''t let that small person spoil our Niang''s interest, you come to meet this Kong girl, she is empress''s mother''s niece."


    No matter who she is or how old she is, Fang Xinsu is above Miss Kong. After hearing the Empress Dowager''s words, Miss Kong comes to pay her respects. Fang Xinsu smiles and returns.


    The Empress Dowager said to Xin Su, "it''s not easy for you to come back to live in the palace next month when you become a relative. Just stay in the palace for two days before you go out. Miss Kong also lives in the palace. Your little girl is quite old. You can find a place to play by yourself. " When Fang Xinsu saw that it was difficult to be gracious, he responded.


    What happened in cining palace soon spread to Emperor Longde''s ears. When Emperor Longde knew about it, he said faintly, "Xia Jieyu lost her appearance in front of the Imperial Palace and became a beauty."


    Xia Jieyu originally expected to go to Longde emperor to cry and ask the emperor to help her talk about her feelings with the Empress Dowager. Unexpectedly, Longde emperor turned around and lowered her position.


    After listening to the imperial edict, she was still in the same place. The eunuch around her pulled her clothes, and Xia Jieyu remembered to receive the edict to thank her. The palace is like this. Even if the emperor wants your head, you have to thank him.


    When the eunuch who came to issue the edict left, Xia Jieyu was unable to sit on the ground. Seeing this, the palace people all slipped out for fear that the master would spread his anger on them.


    Only the eunuch from Li Fang Zhai came up and said, "madam, this is not the time to cry. You have to cheer up for the prince and princess. Now, although your majesty has reduced your position, fortunately, you have not deprived the custody of the prince and the princess. As long as you have two young masters, you still have a chance to make a comeback. "


    Xia Meiren was able to emerge from a group of maids in the palace and ascend to the position of Jieyu in just a few years. But since the birth of the ninth prince, he was flattered and flattered by the people. She was provoked by someone who wanted to do those stupid things. Now a basin of cold water came down from the sky and woke her up.

 Chapter 184

    In addition to the two pots for Fang Xinsu, leisurely also let people send two pots of camellia to Shen Tian.


    Shen Tian was in a good mood when he saw the fresh and refined camellia. I personally met Yutan, who came to deliver things, and asked, "your grandmother has nothing to do at home, so she doesn''t come to talk to me in person."


    Yutan replied, "grandma wanted to come. When she said hello to Guogong''s wife that day, she heard that two pregnant side rooms had been added to the palace recently. Grandma is afraid that if she comes and makes trouble for the princess, she doesn''t come


    Shen Tian said, "your grandmother just thinks too much. Go back and tell her I''ll wait in the house tomorrow. Let her bring Conger to show me. I haven''t seen the child yet. If granny Lin is free, please come along. I always want to see Lin Zhuangyuan''s wife, but I can''t take care of her. " Yutan agreed to go.


    With Shen Tian''s words, there is no reason not to go. Send someone to tell Zhuang Shu the news. I got up early the next morning and dressed up. As soon as they were ready, they saw that their younger brothers and sisters were coming in full dress, so they didn''t bother. After a few words, they took Yutan and Suhe with them, and asked the nursing mother to take Kang Ge''er and his younger brothers and sisters to the palace of King Liang.


    It happened that Chuang Tzu had sent some fresh fruits and melons that had just been picked in the morning. In addition to the watery cherries, there were also some green vegetables and fresh mushrooms. Leisurely picked some good ones and took them to the palace. The rest of them were sent to their mother''s house, Han''s and Shen''s.


    Although Zhuang Shu met the empress of the Crown Princess when she went to the palace, her mother-in-law''s words left some shadows for her that day. Her mother-in-law seemed to mean that Princess Liang was more dignified than the crown princess, so she was a little nervous.


    Leisurely looking at her nervousness, even the handkerchief in her hand was pinched and wrinkled. She couldn''t help laughing and saying, "you don''t have to be too nervous. You''ll know when you see it. In fact, the princess gets along well."


    When Shen Tian saw leisurely, he was more fragrant than his two concubines. After meeting, he said directly, "I have to send someone to invite you to come here every time, and I don''t want to take the initiative to invite an an or something. There is such a golden sister-in-law in the clan. You don''t want to flatter her. "


    Leisurely line ceremony, Wu stood up and said, "if I really so flatter, I''m afraid the empress will not see me."


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "what you said is reasonable." Then he looked at Zhuang Shu behind her and said, "this is Lin Gongren."


    Zhuang Shu hastened to see the bride again. "I''m in the forest. Zhuang Shi has seen the princess."


    Shen Tian asked people to help her up with a smile. "Lin Gongren, you''re welcome. Lin Zhanshi is my uncle''s roommate, and your sister is my cousin, so we are not outsiders. I just wonder what kind of daughter-in-law our elegant number one scholar Lang married? When I see you today, it''s really a perfect match


    "Today is the first time we meet. Just a little thing, it''s time to celebrate your wedding," he said with a smile


    Zhuang Shu saw that there was a set of red gold and silk inlaid with three color gems on the tray. She felt that it was too expensive. She took a look at her sister-in-law. Leisurely didn''t expect Shen Tian to be so generous, but he said with a smile, "since it''s from the empress, you can take it."


    So Zhuang Shu personally took it over, passed it on to the maid, and then saluted her. With a smile, Shen Tian let them sit down and drink tea.


    Then Shen Tian looks at Kangtai again. Kangtai just slept all the way in the car and woke up outside the palace. Now is the spirit of the time, open two big eyes black yo look at the past, very lovely.


    Shen Tian saw Kang Tai''s white and fat appearance, and said enviously, "look at your brother Kang''s chubby, one can support my two children."


    Leisurely smile to return a way "Niang Niang this words say, the son and the princess but compare Kang Tai small for half a year, how can put a piece to compare?"? Kangtai was also a little thin and black when she was born, and it gradually got better. After a while, the prince and the princess will have a long meeting. " Smell speech, Shen Tian and command servants "to see if the princess and the son wake up, wake up, then hold to let Mrs. Shen see." Shen Tian didn''t call leisurely fenggao. When people listen, they are more respectful to leisurely. Such a name shows that Shen Tian is very close to Shen Gong.


    After a while, two lactating mothers came with little Shizi and little princess in their arms, followed by a dozen servant girls. Leisurely is also the first time to see this rumored dragon and Phoenix fetus. The children of more than three months are all open, all white and tender, not as thin as Shen Tian said.


    After a leisurely praise, he asked people to take out two jade pendants made of mutton fat and said, "although these two children are noble, they should call me aunt after all. These two jade pendants are my aunt''s idea. "


    Although there is a distance, Shen Tian can also feel the warm luster of the pair of Lanzhi jade, and she is not polite. "Since you are my aunt, I will not be polite to you." Then someone put it away.


    Zhuang Shu also asked people to take out a pair of jade carving nine rings that had been prepared long ago, and said, "this is a gift given by my concubine to my son and the princess. Please don''t be too simple."


    Shen Tian saw that the jade material of the nine links was also top grade, and then said with a smile, "you have a heart." Then Shen Tian asked the servants to take the three children to play on the big Kang in the compartment. There were so many servants looking at them, but they didn''t get in the way. None of the three children can speak, but it doesn''t hinder their babbling communication. Around the waiting people to see three still drooling baby milk, serious in that babbling dialogue, all of a sudden are laughing and crying.


    Leisurely and Shen Tian are used to each other. She tells Shen Tian some of her recent experiences, and Zhuang Shu occasionally inserts a few words from them. The three chat happily. At noon, Shen Tian left them for lunch in the palace to let them go back.


    Zhuang Shu went back to Lin''s house and asked her mother-in-law for an answer. She gave her two brocades and Shen Tianci''s head. Lin''s mother was very happy when she saw the brocade. "I didn''t expect that the princess was still thinking about me." When I saw the head of my daughter-in-law, I didn''t feel jealous. I only felt that her daughter-in-law had a long face and said with a smile, "I know something about Princess. Since I''m willing to reward you with such valuable jewelry, I must recognize you in my heart. You can keep it, although I know there are better ones in your dowry. But it''s always more respectable to wear something that''s given by the royal family. " Zhuang Shu put it away with a smile, and she was also secretly pleased, although her parents died early and suffered some frustrations. But after entering Beijing, my grandmother and aunt Tang really loved me. Now, after getting married, I met a reasonable mother-in-law, and her husband was also gentle and considerate. Aunt is also a transparent and open-minded person, never to their own trouble. Although Zhuang Shu is newly married, she has seen other sisters'' married days before, and she has never been so comfortable. She felt that with today''s life, the hardships and frustrations of the first half of her life could be smoothed.

 Chapter 185

    That day, Fang Xinsu just came out of the palace. The Empress Dowager felt that Xia Meiren''s words were not pleasant to hear, so she gave something to leisurely and let Fang Xinsu bring it out. It is summer beauty don''t know is to get which expert''s instruction, also in Fang Xinsu out of palace before personally past to apologize. She said, "don''t annoy me, princess. I was provoked by a villain and said those words in a moment of anger. Now I''m really regretful. No matter what, I''d like to ask the princess to apologize to Mrs. Shen and Shen Shuren for me when she goes back. " Then he gave a big gift.


    Even if Xia Meiren was demoted, she was still the concubine of emperor Lund. Fang Xinsu, a princess with a different surname, naturally did not dare to accept her gift, so she had to return it. Xia Meiren is anxious to get out of the palace. She doesn''t do much to obstruct her. She asks people to offer three generous gifts. "I don''t ask the two wives of the Shen family to forgive me since I''ve done something wrong. But if there''s anything useful for me in the future, Xia Ying will never shirk it."


    Fang Xinsu just wanted to get rid of her, but when she lifted her eyes, she saw a wonderful familiarity between Xia Meiren''s eyebrows and eyes, and suddenly she was stunned.


    Summer beauty took advantage of the square heart element Lengshen Kung Fu, urgent with the palace people left. Fang Xinsu is not easy to chase again, so he has no choice but to let people put things away.


    She naturally knew that Xia Meiren must have been instigated and bewitched by others. Otherwise, she would not be able to get along with Zhongguo government. Fang Xinsu takes a look at Jinying. "Do you know which Lady Xia Meiren used to make friends with in the palace?"


    Jin Ying replied, "I heard from my sisters in the palace that Xia Meiren had made friends with Cheng Zhaoyi before. What''s more, when the princess went to say goodbye to the Empress Dowager this morning, someone from the palace came to report back to the Empress Dowager. Cheng Zhaoyi found out that she was pregnant for more than two months. "


    i see! This summer beauty is afraid of being cheated by her "good sister". It''s really interesting.


    Hearing this, Fang Xinsu didn''t want to stay in the smoky palace any longer. She had already said goodbye, so she took her servants out of the palace.


    Instead of returning directly to the government, she went to leisurely''s home first. Leisurely did not expect her to come at this time, and quickly received the front yard "you don''t say in advance, it''s almost noon, I have nothing to prepare."


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "I''m not a bystander. What else do I have to prepare for? Just get something light. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s also a coincidence that Chuang Tzu sent some perch and fresh river prawns yesterday. They are keeping them in the water. You like to eat River prawns. I''ll let them prepare to go."


    Yu Tan personally went to the kitchen and saw that in addition to perch and river shrimp, there were some small miscellaneous fish that were an inch long in the water tank.


    Yutan pointed to the little fish and said, "what kind of fish is this?"


    The cook replied, "it''s a spring fish. It''s fresh and tender, but it''s too small to be on the table."


    Yutan said, "what good food has not been eaten, princess? It''s just a taste of something new. Make one. Do you have any fresh vegetables? "


    "Yes, in the morning, Chuang Tzu just sent some tender shepherd''s purse, leeks and Chinese toon sprouts, and some cattail."


    Yu Tan then said, "then you can choose what you are good at. You can make more hard dishes. You don''t need more. You must be more delicate. Well done, grandma will naturally get a big reward. "


    The cook answered with fear. She never thought that she would have a chance to cook for the princess. Therefore, he made a table of exquisite and wild dishes.


    Because there were several dishes that Fang Xinsu had never seen or eaten before, she felt quite right. After the meal, the cook was rewarded with a pair of silver balls. Leisurely also had another reward.


    Fang Xinsu gave the Empress Dowager''s reward and Xia Meiren''s gift to leisurely, and then repeated the story. She thought leisurely how much will be a little annoyed, did not expect leisurely just a faint smile, "what is this? Before I came out of the cabinet, I had heard a hundred times worse sour words. What is Xia Meiren''s saying? I was born as a slave. Since it''s true, I''m not afraid to be told. It''s just that she shouldn''t involve her wife, that is, she should not look at the face of the princess, but also look at the princess. " She said that even if this summer beauty was encouraged by others, she was not smart. Fortunately, I know how to make up after the event, but I''m not stupid.


    Now that she apologized, she took it easy to expose it. One was the imperial concubine, and the other was the wife of the minister. She didn''t have much chance to meet each other.


    After dinner, the two went to the flower house to see the leisurely flowers, which should be eaten after dinner. Fang Xinsu let the maid all guard outside. After entering the greenhouse, she obviously didn''t put her mind on the flowers. She said in a low voice, "in fact, this time I went to the palace, in addition to please, I mainly went to see the boy Xinjian."


    Leisurely covered his mouth with a smile, "before you get married, you worry about the marriage of commander Fang."


    Fang Xinsu said, "it''s impossible. Our parents died early. The elder sister is like a mother, and now her uncle and aunt are not willing to talk much about her brother''s marriage, so they are afraid to be said that the government will take advantage of her brother. So I asked the Empress Dowager to help me pay attention. The Empress Dowager recommended to me miss Kong, the niece of the Empress Dowager''s family. This time I went to the palace to see her. "


    Leisurely raise eyebrow "that you see how?"


    Fang Xinsu nodded: "Miss Kong comes from the family of the sage Kong, so there is no need to talk about the rules and education. I think everything she says and does is like a picture. It''s very standard. I could be a parenting aunt. I just don''t know if I like it or not. "


    Leisurely said, "don''t worry, the queen will certainly find a way to let them see each other. After all, other women also need to see the leader."


    Fang Xinsu chuckled: "my brother is so young, promising and handsome. Which girl doesn''t like him? Haven''t you heard that someone commented on the "four famous shaos in Beijing", including Xin Jian, Han''s cousin, Lin Zhuangyuan and... "


    See her such coy appearance, leisurely suddenly guessed that "the last designated is the king of Rongjun."


    Fang Xinsu angry at her one eye, "always said he was stupid, this will son how so smart." With that, I went to see the flowers on my own.


    After watching for a while, Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "you are more and more capable now, and the flower cultivation is getting better and better. I heard that some people outside are willing to spend 500 taels of silver to buy you a pot of ordinary Begonia flowers. "


    Leisurely light smile "those people are just ''drunk man''s meaning is not wine'', which is really like my flowers. Now I don''t have to earn money by this, but I just choose what I like to raise a few pots and send them to my relatives and friends. If I give it to you, will you turn around and sell it? "

 Chapter 186

    Fang Xinsu shook his head. "Of course not, but the two pots of Camellia you sent me that day were sent to the palace. You can give me another two pots. I just saw that pot of orchids over there is also good."


    Leisurely but helpless stall hand "you choose at will."


    Finally, Fang Xinsu picked a pot of orchids, a pot of Camellia and two pots of Gardenia. Fang Xinsu said that although gardenia is not precious, it has a strong aroma and is excellent for fumigating the house. Leisurely, seeing that she liked it, she took out two pots of white jasmine and said, "the flowering period of gardenia is not long, but these two pots of Jasmine are just budding now. After seven or eight days, it''s time for them to bloom. When they are put in the room, they will still be full of fragrance. You still don''t like red and purple flowers like that. Just take these pots with you and I''ll pick out some pots of fresh color to send them to you next month. "


    Fang Xinsu knows the meaning of leisurely. When she gets married next month, it''s not good to put some flowers in the house. Then I won''t say anything polite to you. You can choose more pots for me, and I''ll send them to Prince Rong''s residence in advance. Save them some ordinary things to fool me. "


    Leisurely but helpless smile "OK, you are the future Princess Rong, who dares to fool you in that mansion?"


    Fang Xin said, "that''s not necessarily. Although Qi Heng is still clean, the old prince still has two side concubines. Although the old prince is not in the palace all these years, Qi Heng can''t drive his concubine out. I asked about it. That Princess Liu is better. She has only one daughter. Naturally, she will have to rely on Qi Heng and the palace in the future. Therefore, she is still responsible. But that Princess Wei, when the old prince was not a monk, was very arrogant and domineering because she was highly favored. If it wasn''t for the great power of the princess''s family, they would have been unable to subdue her. Later, the old prince went to practice Taoism, and she stayed for two years. Later, relying on the power of her elder sister, Princess Wei, and the king of Chu, she began to hop out. Although Qi Heng is not afraid of her, he is a big man. He is not good at worrying too much about his concubine mother, so he can only let her be her master in the palace. This time, even in our marriage, she wanted to get something out of it. Fortunately, Qi Heng didn''t let her make a fool of herself. He handed the matter over to the manager of the palace. "


    "Fortunately, although the king of Rongjun is a king of the opposite sex, his marriage is also managed by the house of internal affairs. With Prince Liang watching in the house, there will be no big trouble. "


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "it''s true, but when I got married, my cousin couldn''t come. I felt quite sorry."


    Leisurely comforted, "I heard that Prince Rong''s residence and Prince Liang''s residence are very close. It''s much more convenient for you to meet the princess after you get married."


    After they had some gossip, Fang Xinsu went back to the government with his servants and things.


    On February 26, Qi Heng, the prince of Rongjun, personally sent the dowry to Zhongguo government. The betrothal gifts regulated by the princes will not be simple. The Fang family has no serious elders, so the loyal couple will come forward as the elders of the woman. The two, who have married three daughters, are quite skilled in this matter. On the eighth day of March, the house of internal affairs sent the prepared eighty-eight dowry to Zhongguo government. There were several mountains in the palace, and the king of Liang was staring at them. Therefore, although the specification of the dowry was not as good as Princess Lezhen''s, all the things were fine, and there was no such thing as making up for the number.


    Longde emperor heard that Fang Xinsu liked jade, and thought that this was very similar to her biological mother. He always felt that he owed his daughter too much. In private, he asked the waiter to give Fang Xinsu two boxes of excellent jade articles of various colors, and some shops, fields and bank notes. Fang Xinsu asked agate to put these things away, but didn''t put them in the dowry list.


    In addition to the things left by the lady above before her death, the things prepared by the Han family, and the gifts given by the Empress Dowager and the queen in the palace, Fang Xinjian''s dowry was more than 120. Han''s look, oh, there are too many. After all, the prince of Qiheng is a king of different surnames. As her Princess, Fang Xinsu''s dowry is not easy to go beyond the crown prince. It''s just that the dowry box is full, and there are still many things that haven''t been packed.


    Fang Xinsu didn''t want to be too popular, so he wanted to put some of the silk and satin decorations and other less commonly used objects in his own dowry house. Han said, "this is also a way, but how to write on the dowry list?"


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "it''s not easy. Just write down a house and some things in it. Then list the things on it. No one can see the list."


    "Well, do as you say." Han quickly ordered his servants to do it.


    March 28th is a good day for Fang Xinsu, and the 27th is an auspicious day for relatives and friends to make up.


    Leisurely and fangxinsu have always been good friends, early on ready to add makeup things. In addition to a Kang screen with Camellia pattern embroidered by her own hands, there is a set of go pieces polished with top-quality black and white agate, as well as a set of jadeite and lanzhiyu faces.


    Needless to say, the wedding day is very lively. Although Shen Tian was pregnant and couldn''t show up, the king of Liang arrived in person. Liang Wang''s attitude was very genial, and he didn''t put on any Prince airs. He was familiar with Qi Heng in the past. Today, however, she and Fang Xinjian, as their mother''s family, are in a dilemma for Qi Heng.


    On such a day, Han naturally wanted to stay to entertain the whole family. Leisurely, she was entrusted to send her relatives as her mother''s family, and her family members went to Rongjun palace with the sedan chair.


    The royal residence of Rongjun has been handed down for more than a hundred years. Although the specifications are a little smaller than the ordinary royal residence, the royal residence has been built exquisitely and beautifully for several generations.


    Although the old prince has been indifferent to common affairs for a long time, he still has to come back to show his face in such a big event as his son''s marriage. With him in the mansion, even Princess Wei didn''t dare to do anything. Their marriage was completed smoothly. The old prince was also a wonderful man. After Fang Xinsu returned three days later, he presided over the division of the royal family.


    In addition to the legitimate son of Qi Heng, the old prince also had three sons and two daughters. The most favored concubine Wei gave birth to two common sons. Concubine Liu gave birth to a common daughter. Zhang gave birth to a common son, and a common girl whose mother died early. In the past, Zhang took care of her.


    To say that it is to separate the family is to separate the three concubines and their biological mother from the palace. After all, we can''t let Mrs. Liu live alone with her daughter like this. The rest of the concubines who have not given birth will go out if they are willing to go out, and those who are not willing to go out will still stay in the house. It''s just a few more chopsticks. Qi Heng and his wife don''t care.

 Chapter 187

    After listening to Fang Xinsu, the process is not as calm as it seems. Although the two concubines with concubines were unwilling, they couldn''t stand it. The old prince was determined. Each son of commoner was sent to a house of four, a village of two thousand taels, thirty thousand taels of silver and things in his own yard.


    Of course, the two concubines were not good at it. After hearing this, Wei was extremely dissatisfied and cried to the old prince, "the prince is cruel and wants to drive our girls out of the palace. How can we only give them such things? They are all used to by Jin Zunyu. They haven''t married and have children. They don''t have a title. What''s the point of silver enough for? The Lord is a little too partial. Just pass the title to the little Lord. Should they share the things in this house equally? "


    The old prince closed his eyes and didn''t speak. Qi Heng and Fang Xinsu couldn''t take over. It is Liu Tai side imperial concubine to think slightly, then smile to connect "younger sister this words is wrong, our da Kang Dynasty is always the most important Di Shu of other.". As a rule, the common son has no right of inheritance. Now the old prince is concerned about his flesh and blood and is willing to give the second son a few such things. After all, we have all the land and houses, and we can''t afford to spend too much money. "


    Wei Tai side imperial concubine sneered, "Sister Liu is now climbing the high branch, but I don''t know that now sister Liu is so dedicated to others, and I don''t know whether she can get a good job in the future? No matter how hard I am, I still have two sons to rely on. I don''t know who sister Liu will rely on after she gets married. "


    She said this with a pale face, but Fang Xinsu said with a soft smile, "Princess Wei is worried too much. Princess Liu is my father''s side room in the genealogy. She is the concubine''s concubine and my Lord''s concubine. The Lord and I will support Princess Liu and her wives for life. It is Wei too side imperial concubine if don''t want to go out of the mansion with two younger brothers together, I and the prince also won''t leave you and ignore


    Mr. Wei also said, "OK, don''t say any more. If you don''t tell me something, it doesn''t mean you don''t know. You know how many things you had when you were housekeeper a few years ago. Is it difficult for you to ask me to take out the account book of that year and check with you? "


    This made Wei''s heart nervous. When the first princess died, she was in charge of the inner courtyard for three or four years, and she got 100000 taels of silver from it. In addition to the rules and self-care, she had nearly 200000 taels of silver in her hand. Thinking of this, she had to sigh, "in that case, let''s share it. It''s just that we have to be given a few days to pack."


    Qi Henggang wanted to say a few words about the scene, but the old prince directly broke Wei''s Last Hope: "the first supplies of the new house are all ready. The fifth day of junior high school is a good day to move, just that day." As soon as these words came out, it showed that Lao Wang had already prepared for the separation, and Wei was no longer struggling.


    So all the dust settled.


    Because the old prince personally presided over the separation, the king of Chu felt that he was dissatisfied and helpless.


    But Qi Heng didn''t expect his father to be so crisp this time, so he was generous in the back and said to his father, "according to the rules, there is a rule of ten thousand taels for the concubines in our house to get married. Now that the younger brothers want to leave, just give them all the money. Their mother can''t make any big trouble. In addition, my elder brother gave five thousand taels of money to each of my three younger brothers from his private room. Of course, there are also two younger sisters. I will add them when they come out of the cabinet in the future. "


    The old prince nodded, "you can do it by yourself. You have done well in the past two years, and you will do so in the future. Our family is already extremely rich. We don''t have to get involved in too many things. "


    Qi Heng nodded his head and said, "my son will obey my father''s instruction."


    After Wei and Zhang moved out of the palace with their sons, the old prince also left the capital, saying that he had gone to the south to visit an old friend.


    Since then, the whole courtyard of the royal residence of Rong county has the final say of the square, and she has no mother''s control, and the younger sister is not afraid to be a monster. After getting married, it''s much cheaper to go out than before. I often go out for a stroll. Qi Heng never interferes with her any more. When I''m in the bathroom, I often go out with her to go to an antique shop or something. On that day, Fang Xinsu went to a bookstore on Wenhua street to select some ancient books and local chronicles, and went to leiran''s house by the way.


    Leisurely, she was also very happy to see her coming. She said with a smile, "you''ve come here skillfully. Chuang Tzu has just brought some fresh wild vegetables and some mandarin fish. I wanted them to send some to you. Now that you''re here, I''ll eat here." After that, he quickly asked the kitchen to prepare lunch, and then sent the mandarin fish and wild vegetables to the government and the Marquis of Changping.


    Fang Xinsu''s life is satisfactory now, and her appearance is more outstanding than before. Leisurely joked, "now I''m counting your days. Leisurely."


    Who knows Fang Xinsu sighed, "what are you happy about? Do you know that empress Wei in the palace is pregnant again? "


    Leisurely one Leng "this I pour is not too clear, Wei imperial concubine empress is not young this year? I didn''t expect to be pregnant. "


    Fang Xinsu frowned. "I went to the palace the day before yesterday to say hello. I heard what the empress meant. The emperor was afraid that he wanted the position of imperial concubine Wei of Jin Dynasty. Originally, Princess Lezhen made a great contribution to the society a few years ago, and the imperial concubine Wei and the king of Chu were in the limelight. Now the imperial concubine Wei appointed to go further. I''m afraid there will be chaos in the palace again? "


    Leisurely comfort way "Palace at least have empress dowager and empress looking at it, not too much trouble.". I''ve heard that Princess Lezhen is not as domineering as she used to be. It doesn''t really matter. "


    Fang Xinsu slightly stretched his brow. "Fortunately, father Wang had the foresight to send out a few concubines early. Otherwise, he would not have known how Wei''s concubine would be arrogant in the mansion."


    Leisurely said, "with how arrogant she is, you are the imperial concubine, and she dares to leave your appearance?"


    Fang Xinsu said, "if ordinary people will not, but the women of the Wei family are not necessarily. The Wei side imperial concubine of our family used to fight with her mother in those years, otherwise she would not have gone as young as that. The old prince felt sorry for his late mother and imperial concubine for being able to divide the concubines out so easily this time. This time, concubine Wei is pregnant. She may have a moth


    In fact, Fang Xinsu didn''t expect it. A few days later, news suddenly came from the palace that Kong, the niece of the empress dowager, suddenly fell into the lotus pool on the way to greet the empress dowager, and was rescued by her royal highness, the king of Chu, who passed by "accidentally".


    Although the palace has been able to block the news, but the people who should know still know. Leisurely know, stay Leng for a moment, and then murmured, "empress Wei is really good plan!"

 Chapter 188

    People with clear eyes in the palace can see that the queen wants to marry her niece to Fang Xinjian. Empress Meng has written a letter and sent it back to Kong''s family in Shandong Province. Naturally, Mrs. Kong can trust her sister''s eyes, but it''s only good for her parents to deal with the corresponding affairs. Kong Jiaying''s father had been in the past few years, so the marriage of Kong girl has the final say of Mrs. It''s agreed that when Mrs. Kong comes to Beijing in May to celebrate the Empress Dowager''s birthday, she will decide the wedding by the way. Empress Meng also confides her meaning to Fang Xinsu in private. They have reached a tacit agreement. When Mrs. Kong comes to the capital, the two families will decide their marriage. Who can think that this kind of thing will happen on the way?


    But in the palace, empress Meng was trembling with anger when she knew about it. Her sister felt that she would arrive in the capital these two days. She didn''t expect that this kind of thing would happen at this juncture. Princess Wei and her son deceive each other too much! She asked the palace attendants that day. Originally, my niece was walking well on the road. When she came to the lotus pond, she didn''t stay. There was always a distance of two or three meters. It was impossible to fall in at leisure. Later, suddenly a white cat came out of the roadside and rushed straight at Kong Jiaying. Then a group of eunuchs came to catch the cat. In the chaos, Kong Jiaying didn''t know who pushed her, so she fell into the lotus pool. Just at this time, the king of Chu "happened to" pass by here, and without saying a word, he jumped down to hold Kong Jiaying out. In broad daylight, with such a hug, Kong Jiaying''s reputation was ruined.


    Although the Dakang dynasty did not pay as much attention to the defense of men and women as before, such close contact was definitely not understood. Wei Fei''s mother and son knew this and set up the scheme. As long as the matter is known to all, Kong Jiaying will have to marry to the palace of Chu to be a concubine. Who else will marry her if it happens? Is it hard for her to go to the temple to be an aunt? In this way, it can not only prevent the queen from wooing Fang Xinjian and Rongjun palace, but also establish a relationship with the Kong family of Yan Shenggong, and make further plans for Fang Xinjian''s marriage. It really kills three birds with one stone. Concubine Wei was elated to think that the queen would pretend to be the most obedient and the most important concubine all day. Now your niece is not going to marry my son as a concubine?


    After this, Princess Wei immediately came to visit Kong Jiaying with a lot of gifts and supplements, and was stopped outside Kunning Palace by Empress Meng. But Princess Wei also went out of her way. She came several times every day. Empress Meng didn''t let her in, so she let the palace people put the things outside the Kunning palace, shed a few tears, and then left.


    As soon as Mrs. Kong arrived at Kong''s house in the capital, before she could sit down and have a cup of tea, she was hurriedly invited to the palace by the people of Queen Meng. When she saw her pale and thin daughter, she felt sad. On the way, she had heard the general situation from the palace people. Although I expected that my daughter''s situation would not be very good, I didn''t expect that her daughter, who was beautiful two months ago, would become like this!


    Although Kong Jiaying looks bad, she still tries her best to comfort her mother. "Mother doesn''t have to be too sad. I think this is her daughter''s life."


    Mrs. Kong cried bitterly. Originally, she thought that there were only a few families coming and going in Shandong, and there was really no outstanding son. She wanted to let her sister, who had become the queen, help her choose a better future generation in the capital. If I had known that this would happen, it would have been better to marry my daughter to a farmer than to let her go to Beijing for this competition. Even queen Meng is very sad. She has no children of her own. When she saw that Kong Jiaying, who looks like her when she was young, was hurt as her own daughter, she chose the best for her.


    Just at this time, the palace people came to report that empress Wei heard that Mrs. Kong had entered the palace and wanted to accompany Mrs. Kong face to face.


    Just as empress Meng wanted to be sent back, she saw her elder sister stand up and say, "it''s not good who comes here. I''d like to know how powerful this lady is." Then he turned to his daughter and said, "Ying''er, you don''t have to worry. Your mother will support you and won''t let you do side room for others all your life." Empress Meng heard the speech and sighed, "well, come on, please go to the main hall." Then she took the lead to go out. Mrs. Kong straightened her clothes and followed her.


    Kong Jiaying looks at the back of her mother and the Queen''s aunt. She is stunned for a moment. Although she knows that such a thing has happened, her mother will love her and the Queen''s aunt will find justice for her. But that would cost too much. My father died early. Although my mother was still my son''s wife, my grandmother preferred my son''s third uncle and my younger brother was young. Even if you are a monk, you are also a living target. Those who have a heart will only smear themselves and shame your mother and brother. Now before she died, she was content to see her mother again. Thinking of this, she closed her eyes, and then said to her maid Xiaoman, "help me with my dressing. I have something to say to empress Wei face to face." Xiaoman saw the girl''s resolute manner, so he could only help her out of bed according to her wishes, took her big clothes to help her change them, and helped her comb a simpler bun. Kong Jiaying hasn''t eaten a mouthful of rice these days. She relies on several maids to pry open their tongues and pour some ginseng soup and rice soup. She feels soft all over and even falters when she walks. She takes a deep breath and asks, "is there any ginseng soup?" At the moment, a maid of honor brought a ginseng soup. Kong Jiaying drank it all in one gulp. She felt a warm current in her stomach and had some strength on her body. Now, holding Xiaoman''s hand, he stood up and said, "let''s go."


    In the main hall of Kunning palace, Princess Wei was run by Empress Meng and Mrs. Kong. She had no power to fight back, but she insisted that "all the words have been said by Empress Meng and Mrs. Kong, but this matter is related to miss Kong after all. It''s better to call Miss Kong over, or I can ask her opinion myself." In Wei Fei''s mind, there is no girl of Kong Jiaying''s age who doesn''t love glory and wealth. She is not angry for a moment, and she is easy to enlighten and enlighten, which can make her change her mind.


    Empress Meng frowned. Before she could say anything she refused, she heard a slightly hoarse voice ringing at the door. "Since empress Wei must meet her courtiers, they must obey her orders."


    Then, people see the sick Shen Jiaying with the help of the palace maid came in.

 Chapter 189

    Mrs. Kong quickly got up and held her daughter. "You''re not well yet. Just have a good rest. How did you come out again?"


    Kong Jiaying weak smile to his mother, "I can hold, mother." Then he saluted empress Meng and concubine Wei.


    As soon as Princess Wei saw Kong Jiaying, she thought that she had figured it out. Then she said with a smile, "good boy, my palace knows this. You have been wronged. Lao San has already told me that he was in a hurry when he saw you in danger that day, so he did such an abrupt thing. I''ve already scolded him severely. Don''t worry. Although you can only be a side concubine in the past, my palace will support you personally, and no one will dare to look down on you in the future. "


    Kong Jiaying laughs coldly. "I heard that Princess Wei had an engagement before she entered the palace. Later, in order to enter the palace, she abandoned her childhood fiance. The girls in Wu''an Bofu, the mother''s family, are also famous for their love of making side rooms for people. Do you think that people in the world like to be small like the Wei family? "


    Since entering the palace, concubine Wei has always been favored. When she was demoted a few years ago, she didn''t suffer too much because of her son. Now she is robbed by a little girl. At the moment, he became angry. "Don''t be shameless, just a woman who has lost her reputation. I dare to criticize my palace here. If you are obedient today, my palace will give you a side imperial concubine. If you don''t listen to me, I''m afraid I''ll even be a concubine... "


    She was interrupted by the queen before her voice fell. "Princess Wei is so powerful that she threatens her niece in Kunning palace. It seems that our Palace should give this Kunning palace to empress Wei, and you are the one to live in! "


    Although Wei Fei thought so in her heart, she didn''t dare to show it on her face. She just pretended to be scared. "I dare not, please make amends."


    When Mrs. Kong saw Princess Wei''s arrogant appearance, she felt a little sad. She knew that her sister was in a bad situation in the palace, but she didn''t expect that she was so difficult. An imperial concubine would dare to be so arrogant and domineering in Kunning palace because of her pregnancy. The queen didn''t know how much she had been wronged?


    Empress Meng stroked her forehead, blaming herself for being too virtuous and magnanimous in ordinary times, so that she let this son of a bitch climb onto her head. As soon as she was ready to send off Princess Wei, Kong Jiaying walked slowly to her and said, "today, I have finally seen the prestige of Princess Wei. Princess Wei is the emperor''s favorite princess. She was originally surrounded by the king of Chu and princess Lezhen, and now she has a royal heir. Even the empress did not pay attention to it, let alone a mere courtier. The empress and the king of Chu must have thought that when such a thing happened, the courtiers could only compromise, right? Today, I''ll tell Niang, you think wrong! You underestimated the strength of my daughter of the Kong family! As a daughter of the Kong family, I will never be a concubine. The second is that I would rather die than live with the people who live with me. " Finish saying don''t wait for servant girl reaction to come over, then one head bumped into the pillar in the main hall. She held the will to die, this hit, forehead immediately bleeding, instantly dyed half of the body red.


    All the people in the hall were shocked. Madame Kong ran to her daughter and said, "Yinger, don''t scare me!"


    Empress Meng was also stunned, and then responded, "come on, call the imperial doctor quickly." Finish saying, also ran to Kong Jiaying side, choked way "Ying son, everything is decided by your aunt, you this is why?"


    Kong Jiaying''s weak smile: "mother and aunt, don''t blame me for my cowardice. There are so many disputes in this world. I''d rather go to the hell to serve my father earlier. It is better to be clean in quality than to be in a ditch. Please allow me to walk clean... "With my eyes closed, my head tilted down.


    At this time, the imperial doctor just came. Although they knew that they were weak, they still held the last hope to let the imperial doctor diagnose Kong Jiaying''s pulse. The imperial doctor shook his head after the pulse diagnosis.


    Empress Meng''s last hope was dashed and she burst into tears. The rest of the palace people can''t help sobbing. Seeing that things are not good, Princess Wei quietly takes her servants away. Just now, Kong Jiaying''s appearance of hitting the pole was too tragic. The red scene was always around her mind. After returning to her palace, she asked people to call Taiyi to feel her pulse. The two sisters hugged their heads and cried bitterly for a while, but the palace people still sobbed for a long time. The female official in charge of Kunning palace advised, "please forgive me. What''s most important now is what''s going on behind Miss Kong."


    Hearing this, Mrs. Kong gradually stopped her tears. "What lady Zhao said is that Ying''er has gone, and I, as a mother, always have to let her go in order to be at ease. But I will never give up today. One day I will avenge my daughter. "


    Empress Meng choked and said, "sister, don''t worry. Let me do this. I won''t let the mother and son go."


    After hearing this, Mrs. Kong closed her eyes, blinked her tears and shook her head. "Lady, it''s hard for you in the palace. It''s not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, so it''s better to plot slowly. If because of this matter again will you put in, Ying son is not white dead? There''s a long way to go. We have plenty of time. For now, I''d better take Yinger back to Kong''s home first. "


    Kong Jiaying is not a member of the royal family. It is impossible to deal with her affairs after death here. Empress Meng does not care about the rules now. She finds a good coffin to wrap up her niece. It''s hard for unmarried girls to have funerals in these days. The elder sister''s orphan and widowed mother is in the eye of the Kong family. Even if Ying''er suffers from the disaster, those people in the Kong family will not easily agree to let Ying''er be buried in the ancestral grave of the Kong family.


    Mrs. Kong took the coffins of her servants and daughter and walked out of the palace with a mournful face. Because of the instructions from the empress, although they were carrying coffins that were incompatible with the Imperial Palace, they had no obstacles along the way. Such a conspicuous thing naturally attracted other people''s attention very quickly. In less than a quarter of an hour, all the people in the palace had heard of the news that Miss Kong was killed when she hit a pillar.


    At this moment, Fang Xinjian, who went out to work for emperor Longde, just came back to the palace. When she came to the gate of Dakang, she met Mrs. Kong and his party, although the Gaoming lady who came in and out from here every day never stopped. But Mrs. Kong and her party were carrying the coffin, which naturally attracted the attention of Fang Xinjian. When they saw that the carriage Mrs. Kong was sitting on was engraved with the logo of Confucius'' mansion, they immediately felt "clattering".


    Fang Xinjian got off the horse, gave the reins to one of her own soldiers and asked, "who was that lady just now? What''s the matter? "

 Chapter 190

    This man was a soldier of the Fang family. Naturally, he knew something about his son and girl Kong. He was not angry with his Highness the king of Chu for such a rogue behavior. At the moment, he told his master the story like a bean in a bamboo tube. Then he said with red eyes, "I just heard that girl Kong was tough and didn''t want to be coerced by Empress Wei to be a side concubine to the king of Chu, so I ran into her head and died."


    Fang Xin hears that Yan is greatly grieved. He is only out of Beijing for a few days. How can such a thing happen? Didn''t they all agree? When Mrs. Kong came to Beijing, her sister went to Yansheng mansion to propose marriage for him. He even had the wild geese ready to be raised in Fang''s backyard. A few days ago, my sister also discussed with him about the bride price. How could the beauty disappear in a twinkling of an eye?


    Fang Xinjian muddled to find the boss to make a job, the commander of the guard has also heard about it, see he patted him on the shoulder like this, "you have a hard business trip, go back to rest for two days before you work."


    Fang Xinjian went out of the palace so stupidly. Seeing that he was so muddled, his soldiers took him to Rongjun palace for fear that something might happen to him. They wanted Fang Xinsu to persuade him.


    In Rongjun''s mansion, Fang Xinsu is talking to you about it. "This is really shameless! I know that the lotus pond in front of the palace is not as high as half a person. Even if sister Kong fell in, she didn''t worry about her life. What''s more, there are so many maids and eunuchs around, which use the king of Chu to save himself? I''ve heard that sister Kong stood up by herself, but the king of Chu forced her to jump down and hold her up. Sister Kong was very reluctant and heard that she even scratched the king of Chu''s face. His Royal Highness the king of Chu is at least a Grand Prince. I didn''t expect that he could do such shameless deeds. " As soon as the voice fell, the servant reported that his uncle had come, but it didn''t look very good.


    Fang Xinsu was worried that his younger brother would be bad when he came back to know the news. Seeing his younger brother''s dejected appearance, he immediately pulled him to his side and sat down, "do you know that? We were still talking about it just now. I didn''t expect that the king of Chu was so shameless. I don''t know what happened to miss huizikong? "


    After hearing this, Fang Xinjian returned to her mind. He said to his sister with red eyes, "sister, Miss Kong, she''s not willing to be humiliated. She''s already committed suicide!"


    Hearing the words, Fang Xinsu and leisurely were all shocked. "What you said is true?"


    Fang Xinjian nodded, "when I went back to the palace to hand over the errand, I saw lady Kong''s carriage with my own eyes, and she followed her coffin."


    Leisurely heart a burst of regret, did not expect things really developed to the worst point. Fang Xinsu sighed, "I didn''t expect Miss Kong to be so strong. It''s our Fang family that is not blessed!" The marriage between the two families was signed by the Empress Dowager. Although there was no clear road, there was a tacit understanding between them. Who would have thought that would happen?


    This also surprised leisurely. Since she passed through, in her impression, the royal family of the Dakang Dynasty is relatively clear. The royal family has always regarded itself as a moral symbol. At least there are not so many overbearing things on the surface. I didn''t expect this to happen now. Although she has never met Miss Kong, Fang Xinsu should be very satisfied with her future sister-in-law. She looks very smiling. Even Fang Xin Jian, I''m afraid it''s very desirable. A few days ago, I heard that Fang Xinjian went to the mountain to fight a pair of wild geese in person and came back to keep them for marriage promotion. Now, she''s only a long time away from Yin and Yang. If there is any irresistible natural disaster, it''s because of man-made disaster! How can we not make people sad and sorry?!


    Leisurely sighed, and said, "just look at the way miss Kong behaves, you can see that she is a very strong woman. Now she is young, and it is not so easy to be afraid of things behind her."


    Hearing this, Fang Xinsu frowned, "how do you say this?" Even Fang Xin Jian put up her ears and looked very attentive.


    Leisurely said, "although Dakang is more open than the previous dynasty, most unmarried women can''t enter their ancestral graves. What''s more, Miss Kong was ruined by her Royal Highness the king of Chu. The Kong family has the most reputation. I''m afraid they won''t agree to let her be buried in her ancestral grave. " Fang''s sister and brother were both surprised. Fang Xinsu said angrily, "is there such a thing? It''s obviously someone else''s fault. Can''t miss Kong even have a place to die after she died? "


    Leisurely sigh, said, "with the status of the Kong family, it''s not difficult to find a cemetery for Miss Kong. What''s more difficult is to sacrifice after death! If Miss Kong is unmarried, she naturally has no children. In a short time, Mrs Kong will still remember. Who will remember this wisp of fragrant spirit that died early after Mrs Kong a hundred years


    Fang Xinjian suddenly raised her head, "is there no way to resolve it?"


    Leisurely pause for a while, said "folk encounter this matter, will choose to marry Yin marriage to solve this matter."


    Fang''s brothers and sisters had never heard of these things. Fang Xinsu looked at his younger brother and asked, "what is marriage in secret?"


    Leisurely said, "there are always some young men and women who have passed away without getting married. It is said that such people can''t cross the bridge after they die. They can only be lonely ghosts, and they don''t even have the qualification to reincarnate. In order to provide care for their children in the underworld, their parents will find the same man or woman who died prematurely and bury them together, which is commonly known as marriage in the underworld. In this way, both men and women can have a reliable reincarnation when they go underground. "


    Fang Xinsu sighed, "it''s not easy for women in this world to live, and it''s even harder to die. I hope Miss Kong won''t be such a sad girl in the next life


    Fang Xinjian suddenly raised her head and said, "I''ve heard that some women who have been engaged are willing to marry their fiance with a memorial tablet. Is it OK to do the opposite?"


    Leisurely didn''t react for a moment, nodded and said, "naturally, it''s OK, but few men are willing to marry a memorial tablet."


    Fang Xinjian pondered for a while, and naturally he could understand what it meant to marry a memorial tablet. It was just that once a man was in the world, he could not protect his sweetheart. What''s the point of making her restless after death? When I think of those times I met outside Kunning palace, I still remember the graceful appearance of the beautiful lady Yi Xi Yi Chen. At that time, he thought that he would marry her on a high horse, but he didn''t expect that in the twinkling of an eye, yin and Yang were separated. He clenched his fist and dropped the words "I''m going out for a walk." Then he went out in a hurry. Fang Xinsu knew that he couldn''t stop him, so he could only tell his followers to be alert.

 Chapter 191

    As soon as he went out, he didn''t come back that day. Fang Xinsu later heard that he went to the Confucius Mansion and returned to the government after a meeting. He just sighed helplessly. Leisurely comforted Fang Xinsu again, and Fang went back.


    Shen Zesheng''s greatest advantage after becoming the commander of the imperial guards is that he can go home every day. When he came back in the evening, he saw that his wife was not in a high mood and thought that she was not feeling well. So he asked eagerly, "I don''t think your face is right. Is it uncomfortable?"


    Leisurely shook his head and said something about Miss Kong. Shen Ze also sighed, "I''ve heard about it. This time, Wei Fei''s mother and son have gone too far. In the past two days, several officials have played about it. I think it''s just to stop youyou''s mouth. The emperor will surely give Miss Kong a posthumous honor. " Leisurely sighed, "people are dead. What''s the use of those empty ones? It''s just pity for Miss Kong. "


    Shen Ze patted her on the shoulder and said something interesting about the army, which made her happy.


    The next morning, when the Han family came to Rongjun Palace by car, Fang Xinsu knew that his younger brother had gone to Yansheng mansion yesterday afternoon and had agreed with Mrs. Kong about the memorial tablet to marry Kong Jiaying.


    Han frowned and said, "this child is really dead hearted. Although Miss Kong died unjustly, it''s not his fault. Now he is determined to take a memorial tablet to enter the door, and it will be difficult for him to get married in the future. Whose daughter is willing to be a stepmother for no reason? "


    Fang Xinsu sighed, "well, my aunt doesn''t have to worry. Now that his words have been said, it''s hard to go back. Maybe they are predestined fate, so let him go."


    Han originally wanted Fang Xinsu to comfort his nephew, but he didn''t expect Fang Xinsu to be a laissez faire. I can''t help sighing. I''m still young. I can''t understand the meaning. What she didn''t know was that Fang Xinsu always felt that she had no position to discipline Xin Jian after she knew her life experience.


    While they were talking, the servant girl from Zhongguo mansion said, "if you want to go back to Madam, please go to the palace."


    Han''s smell speech, still think daughter has what important matter, hurriedly from Rongjun palace out set car to Liang palace.


    Shen Tian came to find her mother just for the sake of Fang Xinjian''s marriage to Kong Jiaying. She said to Han like this: "my cousin has come here this morning and told me everything. Also told me that my father and mother did not agree with this. But in my opinion, it''s better to fulfill my cousin''s wishes. "


    Han frowned, "your aunt only has such a son. If you let his original wife marry a memorial tablet, how can I face your aunt and grandparents after a hundred years?"


    Shen Tian sighed, "it''s impossible. It is because of our family that Miss Kong is humiliated. Years ago, because of that, our family''s relatives occupied half of the sky in the capital army, which has already made them jealous. Although all the people in our family are really relying on military contributions, they don''t think so. They just think it''s our luck. Now that my cousin is going to marry Yan Sheng, they will not be able to sit down. Except for the king of Chu, there may not be no one else''s work. I''m afraid a few princes are contributing to the fire in the dark. "


    Han was surprised. "His royal highness is in a stable position. It should not be like this..."


    Shen Tian shook his head. "Even your majesty will worry about the instability of his throne, not to mention the crown prince! Wang Ye is now the only prince among the brothers, which naturally hinders many people''s eyes. They are eager to bring down the palace and our family to the end! It''s just that the more they obstruct, the less we can give in. Who else will they think we are afraid of? "


    Then he said to Han, "my mother went back to have a good life and comforted my father, so it''s settled. Mother also don''t just stare at the disadvantages, cousin married Kong girl''s memorial tablet, then he and the Kong family is a real marriage. If Miss Kong''s younger brother can successfully take over the position of Lord Yan in the future, isn''t such an in laws stronger than other families? " Han frowned and said, "what you said is reasonable, but although Mrs. Kong is still the wife of Shizi, I heard that Mrs. Yan Shenggong favors her young son more, for fear that the title of Yan Shenggong will change."


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "my mother is worried. Don''t the royal family and our family help our relatives? Besides, if Miss Kong is so unfortunate to die in the palace, the queen and Mrs Kong will always be given an account in the palace. "


    Han nodded. "Since the empress knows, I''m relieved. I''ll tell your father what you mean when I go back. How are you doing these days? Is the child very noisy? " The two of them said something like that, so Han went back to the government to arrange it.


    Although it''s a wedding tablet, it''s necessary to have a proper procedure. Since it''s decided to do it, Fang Xinjian or the loyal government will surely do it well. Han, as the elder of her husband, came to handle the matter in person. Although she was not happy at the beginning, she felt sorry to hear her daughter''s words and thought that the girl''s death had something to do with her family. She tried to make everything perfect. Leisurely is also very poor that young girl, helped to do a lot of things. In particular, Kong Jiaying read before her death that "the quality of this clean to clean to go, better than the sewage lake sink ditch" has been widely known. You ran heard that this poem was written by Empress Taizu, and immediately had doubts. Empress Taizu is the mother of Gaozu. Is it difficult that both mother and son of Gaozu came through? But the two identities of the mother and the son are not common, so leisurely although confused, but also did not have the intention to get to the bottom.


    After hearing this, people in the capital could only praise Fang Xinjian and Zhongguo government for their kindness. There is no favor for Wei Fei''s mother and son who forced Kong Jiaying to die. It''s too shameless, OK? The draft is just around the corner. Many people don''t want to send their daughter to the palace when they hear about it. Don''t be rich and don''t struggle to end up like Miss Kong. What should we do?


    The Empress Dowager was very angry when she heard that Kong Jiaying had fallen into the water. Now she heard about her death and saw the sad and haggard queen Meng again. Now she ordered the female official to call Princess Wei to the front of the CI Ning palace and reprimand her. In front of so many concubines and eunuchs in the harem, concubine Wei was reprimanded like this. She immediately felt that she couldn''t get down on her face and "fainted" to the ground.

 Chapter 192

    The Empress Dowager was even more angry when she saw the appearance of Princess Wei. "Don''t worry about her. Just let her lie there. When she wakes up, she will scold her family."


    People in the palace did not dare to persuade her deeply. Instead, the empress took the Empress Dowager''s arm and said, "empress dowager, Princess Wei is pregnant. The ground is so cold that the Empress Dowager does not look at her face but also has to think about the emperor''s heir in her stomach. Let someone help her up and let the doctor come to treat her."


    Just at this time, Longde Di rushed over and saw the princess Wei on the ground frowning, but she didn''t say a word. She just asked the Empress Dowager to say hello. The Empress Dowager pointed to the princess Wei on the ground and said, "the emperor came just in time. Look at your favorite princess. Ah, with the piece of meat in her stomach, she ran on the empress all day and forced a good girl to death. Now she came to AI''s house as a demon. AI''s house just said a few words. She just lied on the ground and pretended to be dead. What''s the difference between her and the imperial concubine Yu? I can''t see such a fox at home! "


    Emperor Longde urged the empress to calm down. It''s not intentional for her to come here


    She was interrupted by the Empress Dowager before her voice fell. "She didn''t mean it. Did she mean it? I just want to say a few words about her. She''s just like this. Their mother and son killed Miss Kong. What about Mrs. Kong and the queen? Not to mention that Miss Kong is the eldest daughter of Yan Sheng''s generation, she is your wife''s niece. Outside, she is only a concubine, but miss Kong is a serious relative of our family. If you want to talk about today''s disaster, you have to blame you for favoring concubine Wei too much. They are so bold. The child of the Kong family was on the way to greet the AI family. How can the AI family deal with it in the future? In their eyes, I''m afraid they didn''t pay attention to the Empress Dowager of AI family, let alone the queen. "


    Lundeti hastened to explain, "the mother filtered, they dare not."


    The Empress Dowager sneered: "people are forced to death, what else dare not? When it happened that day, the AI family had ordered the people in the palace to shut up and not to reveal the news. It was just trying to mix it up. I didn''t expect that the mother and son made the matter known to all, and finally forced the girl to death, right? Since she entered the palace, the poor queen has been conscientiously taking care of the harem, showing filial respect to her family, being harmonious with her concubines, and caring for her princes and daughters. Now her niece has been killed by your little wife and common son. Are you worthy of the queen? Emperor, don''t forget how difficult our mother and son were when the former Emperor favored the concubines? If you want to follow the example of the former Emperor, the AI family will not be the Empress Dowager. Take the queen and our wife to become a monk in Yangtian mountain. Queen, are you willing to take the back seat? "


    Empress Meng didn''t go to see emperor Longde either. She said in a sad voice, "empress mother, I was forced to kill my niece by a concubine in Kunning palace. What face can I have in the six palaces? What''s the significance of this post and me? No matter what. "


    Longde Di had a headache and said, "why does empress dowager and Zitong have to be like this? One of you is my mother and the other is my wife. How can I not face you. It''s Miss Kong, who is also my niece. I will always give her justice. I just wanted to tell you some good news when I came here this time, but I didn''t expect that... "


    "What''s the good news? Is there any good news when people die? "


    Longde Di said with a smile, "don''t worry about your mother. Listen to your son. Kong girl young age died, the son was worried about how to deal with the things behind her, in order to let Zi Tong a little comfort. It''s said by the commander of the Imperial Army that deputy commander Fang has agreed with Mrs. Kong to marry her. Although Miss Kong has encountered misfortune, Fang Duwei''s move has finally saved her from the embarrassment of what happened behind her. It is also a great fortune in misfortune. "


    Hearing this news, empress Meng''s face looked a little better. "What the emperor said is true? Is Fang Duwei really willing to marry Yinger? "


    Longde Di quickly smile "nature is true, really will not take this nonsense."


    Empress Meng finally showed a smile. "In this way, Ying''er will not be desolate after all. Thank goodness, Fang Duwei is such a good boy who attaches great importance to love and righteousness. It''s just a pity that my niece is not blessed. She was supposed to be married to the Fang family alive, but now she only has a memorial tablet. " The Empress Dowager took her hand and comforted her, "now, it''s time for Ying''er to settle down. Don''t worry, AI family won''t let Kong family that wench''s reputation will be damaged after death. " After that, he asked the palace people to bring pen and ink, personally wrote the four words of "Bing Qing Yu Jie" and said, "send this piece of paper to the house of internal affairs, and let them drive out a plaque as soon as possible and send it to Yansheng mansion."


    Although only four words, but enough to show the Royal attitude. If anyone dares to talk about Kong Jiaying''s famous festival in the future, it will be disrespectful to the royal family.


    It was not until then that the Empress Dowager was in the mood to take care of Princess Wei, who was still lying on the ground. "OK, let''s get the people away quickly. Don''t get in the way here. The sad family sees Wei Fei''s heart is not quiet, this raises a position to divide a matter to calculate. In addition, let her live in her own palace to raise her fetus, and don''t come out if she has nothing to do. " This is the disguised ban of imperial concubine Wei.


    Then, the emperor made an order to pursue Kong Jiaying as the first lady of the state of Lu, so as to make her affairs more beautiful. Then, in order to appease empress Meng''s sisters, she married Princess Lening to Kong Jiaying''s younger brother Kong Jiajie. Originally, Kong Jiaying''s grandfather was still vacillating about the issue of the Kong family''s successor. The imperial edict was that the Kong family should also give face to the royal family. The next successor to the title of Yan Shenggong could only be Kong Jiajie, the princess''s husband and the eldest grandson of the Kong family.


    As early as after hearing the bad news of his elder sister, Kong Jiajie had already rushed to the capital with his second younger brother. After receiving the imperial edict, the mother and the son are not very happy. The marriage is permeated with the blood and life of their relatives. How can we make people happy?


    On the day when Fang Xinjian married Kong Jiaying, the ancestral house of Fang family was full of guests. Even if it is a ghost marriage, the wedding is still grand and grand. Standing on Han''s side leisurely, he helped Fang Xinsu to entertain the family members. Seeing such a grand scene, leisurely heart has a sense of unyielding. People are gone, even if there is a big day after death, comfort is only the living people.


    Since the crossing, her days are generally free and easy, but now she has witnessed a girl in the mood for love die like this, with regret, anger and a little luck in her heart. I''m very happy that I''m lucky that I didn''t encounter similar misfortune. If not, I''m afraid that her fate is not as good as Miss Kong.


    Leisurely in the bottom of my heart silently pray, only wish this young girl can live smoothly and safely in the next life.

 Chapter 193

    No matter how sad people are, the dead are gone, and the living will continue to live. The Kong family accepted the royal family''s appeasement, so naturally it was not good to hold on to Wei Fei''s mother and son. With Kong Jiaying''s beautiful funeral, no one in the court hall ever impeached Wei Fei''s mother and son. However, Emperor Longde was also very dissatisfied with the concubine Wei''s mother and son, and felt that they had ruined their reputation. But one of them is his own son and the other is his concubine who has been in favor of him for more than ten years. He just punished some of them. Empress Meng didn''t raise any objection. It seems that the matter has just come to an end


    The imperial concubine of Wei was afraid that the queen would kill herself in secret. She was so worried that she didn''t even manage her daughter''s wedding in May. Instead, the queen personally inquired about her dowry, and sent out a few careless servants of the house of interior. She added two dowries to her private library. After winning praise from both inside and outside the palace, all the people mentioned the empress and praised her for her kindness and magnanimity. It was not until Lezhen got married that Wei Fei relaxed a little.


    Is this really the end of the matter?


    Two days after Princess Lezhen''s wedding, the Empress Dowager''s birthday is coming. Since years ago, there have been many accidents in the palace. Emperor Longde ordered the Empress Dowager''s birthday party to be held. Although leisurely is zhengsanpin''s Gaoming, it is only on the first day of the Lunar New Year that you have the chance to sneak into the palace to celebrate. However, this time, the emperor said that the Empress Dowager''s birthday party would be held, so the Gaoming ladies of the fourth grade or above in the imperial court had one more chance to enter the palace to celebrate.


    In fact, as a person with a modern heart, leisurely doesn''t want to go to the palace so much, because the etiquette is too complicated. But in the eyes of others, such things are extremely respectable. No one can go when they want to. Who dares not go?


    In other words, this Gaoming lady is not so easy to be. She has to get up in the middle of the night to make up. In order to avoid some embarrassing situations, she only dares to sip two mouthfuls of water to moisten her throat, and then use two pieces of snacks. She thought she was more agile, but when she arrived at dakangmen, she was shocked by the carriages in front of her. The carriage can only stop here and can''t go any further. Leisurely, I have to get out of the carriage and walk with my servant girl. Fortunately, the palace has long surrounded this area with curtains, and there are guards outside, so there won''t be any trouble.


    There are many eunuchs waiting outside the gate of Dakang. Seeing the leisurely Gaoming clothes, a eunuch runs to meet them. Leisurely is zhengsanpin''s Gaoming. It may be able to dominate the place, but in the capital, it can only be regarded as ordinary. However, Shen Ze is a newly rich man in the imperial court, and Shen Tian is the face of the Shen family. The little eunuch who is in charge of leading the way is quite friendly. At the gate of the inner palace, the little eunuch said with a smile, "the slave will send his wife here. When he goes in, he will be served by other servants. Please wait here with his sisters." Leisurely smile with a purse in the past, "thank you, father-in-law." The little eunuch touched the purse. It was not big. It should be gold and silver. She couldn''t help laughing more kindly. "Madam, you''re welcome." Then he took a few more steps and sent leisurely to the maid in charge of reception in the palace. He said, "this is the sister-in-law of Princess Liang and the wife of commander Shen of the imperial guards." The servant who was attentive and attentive welcomed leisurely to the side hall specially for Gaoming people to rest and wait.


    Leisurely thought that when she got here, she would find time to find Lin Mu and Zhuang Shu. But seeing that this palace should be a special place for Sanpin Gaoming to rest, she had to give up the idea. Whether they are hereditary knights or civil and military officials, the leisurely age is a little conspicuous among the three official titles. After coming in, it caused a burst of sidelights, and some people guessed her identity. There are those who are very proud of themselves and do not want to condescend to make friends with leisurely. Fortunately, leisurely doesn''t care much about other people''s eyes, and there are several ladies who have known each other before. They can also say a few words, but they are not too lonely.


    There is a Western clock in the main hall. When you come in, you have a glance. It''s the beginning of Mao time. After waiting for more than half an hour, the eunuch comes to ask you to go out and line up. After waiting for nearly two quarters of an hour, leisurely followed the crowd in front into a palace to meet the Empress Dowager. It''s just kneeling down, making three bows and nine kowtows, and saying some auspicious words from female officials. After waiting all morning, they were led out by the maids in waiting for a quarter of an hour. Fortunately, today''s weather is relatively hot and cold, but it''s not so hard. Of course, those imperial concubines and dignified Gaoming people, such as Han and Meng, are entitled to be summoned by the Empress Dowager alone, and they can lead the banquet at noon. Today''s leisurely, there is no such honor. But leisurely is tired and hungry at the moment. She just wants to go home early and have a good sleep. But no matter how sleepy she is in the palace, she can only keep her spirits up and pretend to be energetic.


    When she came out, she happened to meet the little eunuch she met in the morning. She said with a leisurely smile, "I didn''t expect to meet my father-in-law again. It''s fate. I don''t know your father-in-law''s name?" The little eunuch said with a smile, "madam, you''re welcome. I''m a slave. I''m Chen. I''m Jiang." Leisurely smile "it turns out that it''s Mr. Chen. My husband''s name comes from the Ministry of water. It''s really a coincidence."


    Chen Jiang said with a smile, "madam, I''m joking. I''m just a slave. How can I compare with Shen Tongling?" Leisurely light smile, "Gaozu often said that the noble and the humble were not in the different status, why should father-in-law belittle himself?" Chen Jiang has been in the palace since he was eight years old. After six or seven years, he feels cold enough. Today, when he hears leisurely''s words, he still feels warm in his heart. Because of her identity, most of the Gaoming ladies who came and went to meet them with smiling faces and bountiful rewards, but Mrs. Shen''s eyes were different from those of others. Her eyes are clear, and there is not a trace of contempt. When she talks to her, she will feel respected, rather than the usual perfunctory and hypocritical.


    It was just a small episode, which seemed nothing special to leisurely. She forgot it when she got home. When I got home, I saw Kangtai first, took off my makeup, ate some food, and went to bed to sleep for a while.


    When I was sleepy, I heard the conversation of the servant girls outside the door. I picked up the pocket watch beside the pillow and saw that it was the end of the day. Then I sat up and called "Yutan."


    As soon as the voice fell, Yutan opened the bamboo curtain and came in. She walked to the bedside with a smile and said, "grandma wakes up. There''s good news to tell Grandma."

 Chapter 194

    Leisurely side cage hair side asked "what good news ah?"


    Yu Tan squatted down to help her put on her shoes, and then said with a smile, "just now my wife sent the servants over, saying that my uncle and grandmother are pregnant."


    After hearing the gesture leisurely, he said with a smile, "it''s really good news. Go and take some silver from my private room to add half a month''s silver to the people in the house. Go and get some more presents. I''ll come over later. "


    Willow leaves a few this will carry the toiletries to wait on leisurely clean face, hear added month money, thank congratulation one after another. Su he is skillful, and soon helps you put on a bun. You are not ready to go anywhere else, so you just make a home style dress, including a phoenix tail hairpin, a butterfly hairpin and two or three little flower mother''s mother''s mother.


    When she had changed her clothes, Yutan had already prepared the present and brought it to her. Leisurely, she saw that Yutan had prepared two pieces of double Palace silk, two pieces of bone waking yarn and some supplements. "You are very generous. How many pieces have I got in total? It''s half delivered in one go. "


    Yutan said with a smile, "grandma is always filial to her in laws and sisters and loves her brothers and sisters. Besides, grandma is always generous. If grandma is mean, how dare she be the master?" Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s just that you can still know my heart. But I don''t know how long you can stay with me? " Yutan is one year younger than Youran, and he is twenty-one years old this year. Although most of the servant girls get married later, this age is not easy to delay. Leisurely a few days ago and she said it, jade Tan is no other thought, only said that leisurely alone. It''s just that it''s not easy to find the right person for a while. I can only search slowly.


    Leisurely, Yutan''s face turned red, and the willow leaves next to him began to roar. Yutan stomped angrily, "Grandma!" Leisurely just said with a smile, "well, don''t be shy of your elder sister Yutan. Be careful that she will deduct your reward. Send the lilac colored wake bone yarn and the lake green cicada wing yarn to the first lady. I remember that last time I cut a silver red one for my clothes, and the material can''t make a coat. Take it and make a Bijia for each of you. It''s moldy to put it in white. "


    All the servant girls thank you again. Leisurely waving her hand, although she likes the plain color, she likes to dress up the maids around her. She doesn''t lack these things. It''s also her dignity for the maids to choose. She is not very used to here, some of your wife about 30 years old to dress up old, the side of the maid also wear some heavy color. If you don''t take advantage of your youth to correct yourself, can you wait until your face is full of wrinkles? As for other people''s views, ha ha, life is for themselves, not for others, who cares!


    Thinking about it, Qingliu had already helped her change into the top of xiangyunsha. She straightened her skirt and said with a smile, "go back to the flower house and find some pots of Gardenia." Then he told Yu Tan, "you don''t have to go with me to the Lin family. I just remembered that Princess Le''an asked me for two pots of Gardenia to smoke the house that day. You go to pick two pots of good ones, and then take some of the fresh lotus pods and saffron fruits that we just sent from Chuang Tzu to the royal residence of Rongjun. The princess should not be at home today. Just give the things to the servant girl beside her and come back. " Yutan promised to take care of himself.


    Leisurely packed, then took things to her mother''s home. When I saw Lin Mu, I asked with a smile, "when did you find out the good news? My mother didn''t tell me earlier


    Lin''s mother replied, "you don''t know, but I was startled. Your sister-in-law''s face is not good when waiting for the congratulation in the palace. It''s just that it''s not easy to do anything at that meeting. You can only hold on. At least wait until the end of the congratulation, Shu son''s face is pale. There was no strength to get on the carriage. Fortunately, Fang Cao had more strength and carried her to the carriage. When I came back, I found a doctor to come and have a look, and then I knew that I was pregnant. Fortunately, it''s nothing serious. I''m just a little tired. It really gives me a fright. "


    Leisurely then asked, "it''s OK. Mother doesn''t have to worry too much. I think my sister-in-law is healthy on weekdays. I don''t think there''s any problem. I don''t know if my children and sisters are sleeping. I''ll go and see her. "


    Lin Mu said, "go ahead. I was in her room just now. I came out when I heard you came. She also wanted to welcome you. I pressed her down. " Leisurely said, "then I''ll go and see her." Finish saying then took servant girl and thing to the yard of Zhuang Shu. This courtyard is a small one beside Lin Mu''s courtyard. There are only three main rooms and two West rooms. When they first bought the house, they thought it would be nice to buy it in the capital. They didn''t think it was small, but now they feel a little cramped. Before Enron got married, Lin''s mother wanted to give her yard to the couple, but Enron stopped her. She said that outsiders didn''t look like her. Enron planned to buy a bigger house after making more money in a few years. Fortunately, there is an inverted room in the south of the courtyard, which can directly lead to Enron''s study and the front yard. It''s cheap for the couple to live in.


    Zhuang Shu was half lying on the bed. When she saw leisurely coming, she was about to get up. She was held down by leisurely. "Just lie down quickly. It''s easy to get dizzy when you get up. I''m not an outsider, and I''m not polite at all Asked Zhuang Shu now feel how, Zhuang Shu said with a smile, "nothing, just feel chest stuffy."


    Leisurely way "at this time, any situation may have, what want to eat want to play just say, don''t feel embarrassed. Don''t use the fruits and spices. I brought you two pots of Gardenia to smoke the house Zhuang Shu said with a smile, "thank you for visiting my sister''s house last time. I seldom use spices after I come back. Just learn to put flowers and fruits in the room with my sister. The room is fragrant and refreshing. It''s really excellent. " Then they said something about their family. Seeing that Zhuang Shu''s spirit was not very good, they said goodbye and went to Lin Mu''s yard to talk. They came back home when it was almost dark.


    It''s getting hotter and hotter. Shen Ze said to leisurely that night, "the Emperor may go to the palace on Yangtian mountain for summer vacation in a few days. He''s asking the Ministry of work to repair the palace there these days."


    Leisurely asked, "will all the civil and military officials be with us then?"


    Shen Ze nodded, "it should be. It happens that our family still has a small village about 200 mu nearby. You haven''t been there yet. At that time, I can invite my mother-in-law to stay for a few days. "


    Leisurely eyes a bright "is the cherry of the Chuang Tzu?" Seeing his husband nodding, he gave a leisurely smile and then shook his head regretfully. "Ann''s daughter-in-law is very unhappy these days. I''m afraid her mother won''t go." Shen Ze took her hand and said, "let''s go with Kangtai and Xier."


    Their plans are good, but they never change fast.

 Chapter 195

    Less than half a month after the Empress Dowager''s Qianqiu Festival, a big event happened in the capital. Wu Anbo, concubine Wei''s mother''s brother, fell down from the second floor of wanhualou, the most famous brothel in the capital, and died on the spot in order to fight for a Huakui. When Wei Fei heard about it, she felt that she was not in good health at that time. Later, although she asked the imperial doctor to treat her in time, she unfortunately had a baby boy come down. Two add up, Wei imperial concubine grief unceasingly, immediately a disease not to rise.


    So Princess Lezhen, who had just been married, had to stay in the palace with her sister-in-law, Princess Chu. A month later, when Princess Wei''s health gradually improved, the eldest daughter of the palace of Chu unfortunately got a rash, and Princess Chu was busy taking care of her daughter. Two months later, when the daughter of the king of Chu was ready, the princess of Chu found out that her husband had an affair with the daughter of an official in the palace, and that the woman was already pregnant. The princess of Chu was furious. I worked so hard to take care of your mother, concubine and children in the palace, but you were so promiscuous outside. It''s really deceiving!


    But the king of Chu didn''t feel anything. In his heart, he felt that as a prince, as long as he didn''t fall in love with his father, the women in the world would not be chosen by him? But it''s just an official''s daughter, at most a lady, not a side imperial concubine or something. What else can''t accept? He also wanted the princess of Chu to help him take the woman into the palace.


    The princess of Chu was also the queen of the imperial family. She was quite straightforward at the beginning, but she had to be restrained after she married the royal family. But it was too much for her to answer. The story of Kong Jiaying, which was made by the two mothers behind her back, made the princess of Chu very dissatisfied. But Kong Jiaying was dead after all. Later, Princess Wei fell ill, and she just kept the tone down for a while. But the king of Chu didn''t give her face! The princess of Chu promised to be good face to face. Looking at the king of Chu''s back, she couldn''t help sneering. She turned around and took the servant with a lot of tonics, and asked two doctors to go to the official''s home.


    The official surname is Cui. When the family saw the princess of Chu coming with people, they thought she was here to ask for a crime. Unexpectedly, the princess of Chu was very warm. They just said that they had been ordered by the king to bring some supplements to see Miss Cui. Want to also know, can connive daughter to do this kind of thing to the family is not what family style innocent. Mrs. Cui was blinded when she saw the gold, silver, jewels and silks held by the maids. Regardless of whether it''s strange or not, she asks someone to invite Miss Cui out. When Princess Chu meets Miss Cui, she praises each other''s beautiful appearance for a while. She also rolls down a red gold silk bracelet with precious stones and puts it on each other''s hand. Then he said with a smile, "I heard that Miss Cui is not very well. I specially brought some doctors to treat her." With that, he asked the four doctors to diagnose Miss Cui one by one.


    Mrs. Cui''s mother and daughter thought that the princess of Chu wanted to help Miss Cui to have a baby, so they didn''t take it seriously. They thought that the princess of Chu wanted to praise Miss Cui. I didn''t expect that after the imperial doctors had confirmed Miss Cui''s pregnancy, Princess Chu was suddenly in a dilemma. "I didn''t believe it when the prince told me this before. I thought that Mr. Cui was honest on weekdays. How could miss Cui''s family do such immoral things? I didn''t expect it to be true. Let''s not say it''s the official lady. Even the ordinary women don''t have such a bad face. Miss Cui''s style is too bold. " A lady in charge next to him said, "isn''t that right? I''m afraid there are few ladies in the building like this. "


    The mother and daughter of the Cui family were at a loss, but the princess of Chu sneered, "it''s just that Miss Cui always bears the identity of an official lady, and is more innocent than those who come from those dirty places. Since the Lord liked it, he had to carry it to the mansion at his will. But the royal family''s offspring can''t tolerate the slightest stain. Who can guarantee their innocence or not? We''d better deal with them first! "


    The Cui family''s mother and daughter were so frightened that they cried out! But the servants in her family were all controlled by the people brought by Princess Chu, and they suppressed Mrs. Cui. Another three or four stout women pressed Miss Cui and poured a bowl of abortion medicine, which had been prepared for a long time. Within a cup of tea, Miss Cui''s skirt was dyed red with blood.


    The princess of Chu asked the imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse of Miss Cui again. The imperial doctor was the confidant of the princess of Chu. According to the meaning of the princess of Chu, she said, "the empress is kind. The medicine given to Miss Cui didn''t hurt her body. Just take care of her for a few days."


    The princess of Chu nodded and said to Mrs. Cui, "this woman has a miscarriage. How can she have a month''s confinement? She can''t serve the Lord like this. In this case, Miss Cui will keep her at home first. After a while, the princess will send someone to pick her up. " Miss Cui has fainted in pain. Mrs Cui holds her daughter in her arms and cries bitterly. After listening to Princess Chu''s words, she looks up and scolds in a hateful voice, "the princess is so cruel that she has killed the prince''s own flesh and blood. Are you not afraid of the Lord''s blame?"


    Smell speech, Chu Princess sneer way "blame? How can the prince blame the princess for a villain of unknown origin? Even if the Lord blames me, I have something to say. Mrs. Cui is really worried. Mrs. Cui herself didn''t teach her daughter well. When she did such a humble thing, it was in the face of the Lord that the princess of Tangtang county would try her best to teach her daughter for you. Or else, with the style of your family, you will be able to enter my eyes? "


    Mrs. Cui was very angry. "You are a poisonous woman, you..." before she said anything, she was held down by the woman beside Princess Chu and slapped her face. The servant girl beside the princess of Chu said coldly, "what are you? How dare you insult the princess? It''s really brave!"


    The princess of Chu didn''t want to look at their mother and daughter, so she turned around and took the next people away. Mr. Cui''s official position is not big, and the house he lives in is a three-way house. Although the princess of Chu doesn''t set up any royal ceremony, Mrs. Cui''s crying like that still shocked many people. The neighbors in the neighborhood thought that something had happened to her family, so they had to send someone to have a look. Princess Liang has long let people mingle in the side of the people to say some "rumors", so her carriage has not yet arrived at Cui''s house. The news that Miss Cui''s family had an affair with the king of Chu, that she was pregnant before marriage and was forced to abort by the princess of Chu made a stir.


    When people around them heard about it, they all spat on it. Although they had heard some rumors in the past, they didn''t expect that it was true! The Cui family is really immoral. They connive at their daughter''s doing such a thing. They all hide far away for fear that they will be brought down by his family.


    Soon, after listening to his servants, Mr. Cui poked the matter to the king of Chu. Although the princess of Chu was flustered, she did so for the sake of the reputation of the king of Chu. Unexpectedly, the king of Chu was furious when he heard about it. He didn''t appreciate it at all. When he returned to the palace, he had a big fight with the princess of Chu. The princess of Chu was angry and refused to be soft. Instead, she accused the king of Chu for not practicing. The king of Chu slapped the princess of Chu in the face.


    This is a big deal! After hearing about it, leisurely also thinks that the king of Chu is such a jerk. Beating women is not a man!

 Chapter 196

    The princess of Chu didn''t expect that the king of Chu would fight against her. She was a little stunned for a moment! However, seeing that the king of Chu wanted to come for a second time, he dodged. Then she took the initiative to attack. When she was in her mother''s home, she had learned Kung Fu, and now she kicked the king of Chu. But she knew in her heart that the place where she was kicking was in the secret place that was not suitable for outsiders to see. The king of Chu couldn''t bear the pain, and he wanted to do it again. He was stopped by the servant girls around the princess of Chu.


    The princess of Chu immediately asked people to pack up her things. She didn''t even cover the wound on her face. She went to the palace with her two daughters. The princess of Chu knew clearly what her mother-in-law was. As a mother, she always turned to her son. Princess Wei was more than ordinary people. She would never set out for her, so she didn''t plan to turn to Princess Wei for help.


    Even when the princess arrived at the palace, she had to get out of the carriage in front of Zhongyi gate. The princess of Chu did not cover up all the way. She cried all the way to the CI Ning palace against the bright palm print on her face. The bodyguards on duty and the eunuchs and maids who came and went saw clearly. Most of the people who can be bodyguards in the palace are aristocratic children. When they see her like this, they dare not discuss it face to face because of the palace rules. When I got home, I had to talk about it.


    But she said that the Empress Dowager was surprised to see the princess of Chu. The princess of Chu was a straightforward woman. Now she poured beans in a bamboo tube and told the story. She didn''t cover up what the Cui family had done. She cried and said, "my granddaughter-in-law asked herself that she was not jealous. Otherwise, there would be no concubines in the house. There are three of them now. Sun''s daughter-in-law asked people to deal with the child in Cui''s daughter''s belly, but it''s not really for her own sake. After all, she is the daughter of an official. If she really enters the palace with a big stomach, I''ll just be laughed at. What''s the difference between her reputation and that of our Lord? What''s more, sun''s daughter-in-law is selfish, so what? That Cui family daughter does not have the name not to divide, can hook up with the Lord, how knows is not a watery? I wonder if there is anything wrong with the innocence of her baby? To put it in a bad way, it''s because the prince is the prince. It''s enough if the common people''s families are pulled out of the pig cage! "


    The Empress Dowager can''t help stroking her forehead after hearing what happened. This third brother used to look OK, but now she is more and more out of tune. At the moment, she could only pacify the princess of Chu, "good boy, I know you are always a good girl. You''ve done the right thing. Royal blood can''t be defiled. The AI family will surely give you justice in this matter. You stay in the Palace first. The third son is a bastard. The AI family can''t spare him. " The person tidied up the side hall and gave them the niangs to live in. Just now I ordered someone to pass the empress and concubine Wei to me. In front of the empress, I gave a pass to concubine Wei.


    The Empress Dowager gave birth to Princess Wei, who was dissatisfied with the birth of Princess Chu. I thought to myself that this daughter-in-law really didn''t have a look, but she was wronged by the idea and ran to the palace to complain. As for? Isn''t it a woman? If you don''t like to carry it to the mansion quietly, isn''t it? This is a big loss! No wonder old three wants to beat you. I really don''t understand! If the idea is known by the princess of Chu, I''m afraid the princess of Chu will poison her mother-in-law with a bowl of medicine.


    But the idea of Wei Fei is careful. She still doesn''t dare to show it in front of the Empress Dowager. She knows that the third one is unreasonable after all. Can smile comfort Chu princess a few words, after returning to the palace again let a person send some tonic to come over. The meaning of the visitors is to let the princess of Chu say something good for the king of Chu.


    Yan Shi, Princess of Chu, sneered, covered her face and said that she had a toothache. She sent the maids around her away. Then she closed her eyes and fell asleep. When this happened, she didn''t plan to make up with the king of Chu. At first, she thought that if the king of Chu said a good thing, she would bear it. I didn''t expect that the man would beat her for a bastard! I really don''t care about the love between husband and wife. If she had not married the royal family, she would have gone back to her mother''s home with her children.


    However, she had been sent a letter to her mother''s house for a long time. Her parents are both in the southwest. In the capital, they have always been the great Boji''s husband and wife to support her. They all know the idea of the king of Chu. Although his majesty has made a prince, the government has always been partial to the king of Chu. Now Yan was treated like this by the king of Chu. He is not the emperor! If he is made emperor, what else can Yan''s family achieve?


    The so-called bad news spread far and wide, but in an hour or two, it spread all over the Forbidden City. After hearing this, Shen Tian was worried about the intelligence of the king of Chu. It was also sad that his opponent was too out of tune. The government of Ji state is not a nameless family. It''s a family that existed in the previous dynasty and has a stronger foundation than the Shen family. You are just using other people''s family''s efforts. How dare you aggrieve your daughter-in-law like this? I don''t know! But now that they have handed over the ready-made tricks, if they don''t make good use of them, isn''t it a waste of the good play played by the king of Chu himself? Even the king of Liang felt that his third brother was not very authentic! Even if you have a crush on that woman, you should carry her into the mansion first. It''s really... It''s not that the old bachelor in his thirties and forties has never seen a woman.


    It''s disgusting that the king of Chu did it. It''s a common people''s home. Now few men beat their wives. A Grand Prince, for the sake of an outer room, even hurt his hairy wife! Shen Tian didn''t have to do anything about it. The next day it was the great court meeting. In the early dynasties, there was a royal censor who impeached King Yi of Chu. It was unfilial to have an affair with the daughter of an official when his biological mother was seriously ill. 2¡¢ In order to slap Zhengfei for a woman in the outer room, it is to spoil my concubine and destroy my wife. Another censor impeached Mr. Cui, accusing him of failing to discipline and conniving his daughter to do such immoral things.


    Then a lot of Ministers followed suit, that is, Ji Guogong, who always stood on the side of the king of Chu, did not help this time. The princess of Chu is coming from the government of Ji state, who is her uncle. Because the father of the princess of Chu had been an official in the southwest, the princess of Chu always regarded the government of Ji state as her mother''s home. In the past, the Duke of Ji state had always said good things for the king of Chu. But these two events in succession let Duke Ji be disappointed with the king of Chu. In the ordinary days, we all help you the king of Chu. Now we dare to slap our girl for an unknown villain. If there is a time for you to prosper in the future, I''m afraid I won''t think much about my wife''s family. My niece is right. She is a white eyed wolf! In that case, in the future, you can do it yourself!

 Chapter 197

    The king of Chu had a lot of pain in his heart. It was clear that the shrew had done something for herself. That shrew is really cruel, just kick in the root of her own life, and now it''s still a dull pain. But it''s not easy to show this place to others at will, so the king of Chu can only knock off his teeth and swallow blood, and hide it from others. Now, no one sympathizes with him, but his dissatisfaction with the princess of Chu is aggravated.


    Even lundeti was very disappointed with his son who had been in trouble one after another. In lundeti''s opinion, it''s no big deal to tease an official''s daughter. It''s just a mistake that men often make. You can cover up the matter. However, when your uncle passed away less than three months and your mother was lying in bed and seriously ill, you are still in the mood of passing away. It''s really cold. What''s more, how nice your daughter-in-law is. When your mother is sick, she works hard to serve the patient. When she goes back to the house, she has to take care of her daughter who has a rash. I have to take care of a lot of things in the backyard of the palace! Good for you! Don''t say that Cui''s daughter hasn''t entered the house yet, but she lost her baby and slapped her wife for a concubine? I don''t know what''s going on in my head! How filial do you expect a man who is unfilial to his mother, merciless to his daughter and disrespectful to his wife?


    Longde emperor was really angry this time, and the prince and others pleaded for mercy, which in fact was fueled by eye medicine. Emperor Longde was infuriated. After scolding the king of Chu, he demoted him to the throne of the state and sent him to the imperial mausoleum to guard the tomb of emperor Gaozu. It''s better to be out of sight! I don''t know if emperor Longde forgot or intended to do it. Anyway, only the Duke of Chu was cut. As for the princess of Chu, it was not mentioned in the imperial edict.


    However, in the eyes of parents, their children are right, even if they are wrong, they are encouraged by the people below. As a result, Cui Da Ren, who had hoped to curry favor with the king of Chu with his own girl, was directly demoted as a commoner. The girl Cui was also given three feet of white silk by Emperor Longde in the name of fox prince. Mr. Cui originally came from a small family of officials. He was born as a commoner. Seeing this, his family was busy removing his family name from his family and clan. Even so, Mr. Cui''s brother also hated the family. Miss Cui''s affair was very noisy. Several girls who had been engaged in the family had been divorced. Even if Mr. Cui was expelled from the family, people would still doubt the upbringing and family style of the whole Cui family. In at least ten years, the marriage of Cui girls will be more difficult.


    Mr. Cui thought that there was a king of Chu to rely on, but the Duke of Chu, who had been demoted, was too busy to deal with him? Soon, without official position and family protection, Cui''s family was robbed of all their belongings by the curfew. The Cui family''s house was burned by a fire, and Mr. Cui''s family also lost their lives in the fire.


    Fortunately, the fire only burned Cui''s house, and the neighbors were not affected. People from shuntianfu came to have a look and made some inquiries according to the rules, because no one paid attention to it, so the matter was settled.


    After the incident, in Fang''s old house, Fang Xin simply ordered a stick of incense and put it in front of Kong Jiaying''s memorial tablet, murmuring, "don''t worry, I will clean up those who have harmed you one by one, and I won''t let go of any of them."


    After the Duke of Chu went to the imperial mausoleum, the princess of Chu took her children back to the house where they had been replaced with a plaque. Now she is the biggest in Hengli''s house, and she has no salary. Her dowry alone is enough for her mother and son to eat and drink. As for the side concubine or something? According to the rules of Guogong''s side room, you can give as much as you want. There''s no more money! Don''t think she doesn''t know, this matter, a few side imperial concubines in the mansion are not little behind make trouble! Well, this time, you go on tossing! It''s good to toss that person''s title away a few more times!


    The officials of the house of internal affairs were also in trouble. The offering of the Duke of Chu was good. The emperor had already issued a decree. But what about the offering of the princess of Chu? There are also the concubines and concubines in the third prince''s mansion. What''s the best way to worship them? The next person asked Liang Wang, who had been bullied by his third brother before. This time, it''s not easy to have a chance to meet the old man who has always been arrogant. Naturally, I can''t wait for him. However, she still pretended to be awe inspiring. "Neither the emperor nor the empress had made an order to deprive the third sister-in-law of her status as a princess. She was still a princess. That being the case, her duties naturally remain the same. As for the others, they are worshipped according to their identities. "


    In the flower garden at the back of Kunning palace, empress Meng seems to be enjoying the flowers. An elderly eunuch kneels on the ground and replies. Outsiders only think that the empress is talking about the beautiful flowers with the eunuch. After hearing the eunuch''s reply, empress Meng nodded, "I guess it has something to do with the Fang family. I didn''t expect that Shen Tongling had a hand in it, but I don''t know whether it''s Shen Tongling''s own meaning or Shen Guogong''s?" The old eunuch said in a low voice, "no matter who means it, it''s a little explanation to miss Kong''s spirit in heaven."


    Empress Meng nodded, "you''re right. Well, the palace knows about it. You keep staring. After all, they have helped me. These two children are still young. If they show anything, they will help to clean up the food. Don''t let others find out anything else. " The man agreed and nodded, carrying a basket of withered branches and leaves, and stooped back. In the eyes of outsiders, this is just a common old eunuch. There is nothing to attract attention.


    Looking at the lush garden in front of her, empress Meng thought that when her niece was here, she would like to sit here for half a day, or read or draw, and occasionally do one or two kinds of sewing to honor herself. Her mother died early, and her father preferred her stepmother''s siblings. When she was in the boudoir, thanks to her elder sister''s love, Yingjie was her most important blood descendant, so she died in front of her. How can she not hate! But for the originator of this matter, Lund Di is just a painless disposal. No matter how unwilling queen Meng was, she could only bear it for a while. She didn''t have the strength to turn over at the beginning, so she had to choose forbearance. It''s just that this will never be over!


    Since you can''t give me justice, I''ll get it back myself! Now it''s just the beginning.

 Chapter 198

    When she thought of what the third prince had done recently, empress Meng sneered. She really deserved to be a father and son. She was just as ridiculous! These men! He was quite generous and respectful to his ministers and subordinates. But for his wife is always stingy of respect and maintenance, people are long flesh. I''ve been wronged enough to take care of your house, raise your children, honor your parents and even take care of your concubines and concubines. If I can''t get due respect and comfort from you, what''s the use of your husband? She stretched out her hand to pull out a weed in the orchid pot in front of her eyes. The useless things are in the way. It''s better to get rid of them! No matter how deep-rooted and leafy it is, as long as a little bit of erosion goes on, it will be the moment when the towering tree falls to the ground.


    Empress Meng''s face was changeable. A moment later, she was calm again. Looking at the two withered orchids in front of her, she sighed, "these two potted flowers are what Ying''er liked most in her life, and they are full of vitality. Since daying''er has gone, she has been half dead. The gardeners in the palace have no idea. It''s useless


    A female official nearby listened to the Queen''s words and said, "I heard that Mrs. Shen, the wife of commander Shen of the imperial forest army, is a famous flower grower. Most of the strange flowers and plants that Princess Le''an presented to the palace came from Mrs. Shen. If you are really worried about these two pots of orchids, would you like to invite Mrs. Shen into the palace to have a look? "


    Hearing this, empress Meng said with a smile, "I have heard the name of Mrs. Shen for a long time, but I have never seen it."


    The official replied, "isn''t that right? Last time when the king of Linjiang was in trouble, Mrs. Shen, as a family member of a meritorious minister, was supposed to go to the palace to be rewarded. Unfortunately, she caught up with the Empress Dowager. She didn''t feel well, but she didn''t see it! "


    Empress Meng nodded and said, "in that case, let someone tell you. Let Mrs. Shen go into the Palace tomorrow." The female official promised to arrange without mentioning.


    Here, Fang Xinsu is taking a carriage to talk with you ran. Leisurely saw her and said with a smile, "you didn''t just come the day before yesterday, why did you come again today? Your prince doesn''t care about you? "


    Fang Xinsu said, "look at what you''re saying. Don''t you think I''ve come too much and have eaten all your good tea and snacks?" Leisurely did not reply, but Yu Tan said with a smile, "what the princess said is exactly what she said. You don''t know, just now our grandmother asked us to make a pot of top quality Huoshan Huangya. I said that the tea had been drunk. Our grandmother said, how can we drink a can of tea? I don''t know how to talk to grandma, but the princess just came... "


    Leisurely smile interrupted her words, "OK, what a big thing, also worth in front of the princess, take for example, it seems that our master and servant are so stingy!"


    Fang Xinsu chuckled, "OK, your master and servant are not there to sing one song. This is to say openly and secretly that I have finished your tea. Hum, if you dislike me more, I''ll leave now. " Then he got up and wanted to go. Leisurely held her for a long time. "OK, I''m joking with you. I went out yesterday and saw several bookstores on Wenhua Street coming with new books. I guess you''ll come again in the next two days. This is not, early on let them do you love to eat lotus root powder sweet scented osmanthus cake prepared Then he said, "why don''t you make tea for the princess?"


    At this time, LiuYe came with a pot of tea and two cups. Leisurely personally holding the pot, first poured a cup and handed it to Fang Xinsu, "Huang Ya''s family really doesn''t have it. You don''t drink what you can buy in the market. This is from a colleague of my uncle. It''s green tea from Yuezhou. I taste it well. It''s different from the tea from Minnan. Drink it. "


    Fang Xinsu was not in a hurry to drink tea. He first picked up the cup and praised it for a while. "Is this cup made of crystal? It looks very chic and crystal clear. It''s very good to watch tea soup. "


    Leisurely smile "I''m not willing to use crystal to make glass. This is glass. I specially let people make it in glass workshop. If you like, you''ll just take two back later. " While talking, a dish of lotus root powder sweet scented osmanthus candy cake and a dish of pumpkin cake came from the kitchen.


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "in this way, I won''t be polite to you. I like the food made in your kitchen. It has a special taste. Naturally, the cooks in the palace are good at cooking. All the snacks are exquisite, but they always feel that there is something missing. " Leisurely said with a faint smile, "if you don''t think the things in our house are rough, I always think that if the food is too carved, it will lose its original taste, so our food will not be too refined. I don''t think the cooks in the Royal Palace would make such a rough order. Even in the government, to make a green dish, you have to blanch it with the soup made by more than a dozen chickens and ducks, let alone dim sum. It''s said that the snacks in the palace, which have more than ten processes, are the simplest. If you''re used to such delicacy, you''ll naturally feel different when you come back to my plain food. "


    Fang Xinsu angrily glanced at her and said, "OK, I don''t think your food is rough at all, but what you said is reasonable. I remember that the jujube paste and yam cake made by Yutan is also very good. I don''t know if there''s such a blessing today. "


    On hearing this, Yutan said with a smile, "the princess wants to eat is the blessing of the maid, and the maid will do it. Please wait a moment, princess Then he turned and went to the kitchen.


    When she left, Fang Xinsu asked, "that time you said you wanted to find a marriage for Yu Tan, do you have eyes?"


    Leisurely gently shook his head, "not yet, jade sandalwood is the same as me at that time. Although she was given to me by her adoptive mother, she had no relatives in the Hou mansion. She doesn''t care whether she redeems herself or not, but I don''t want to hurt her to be a slave all her life. It''s true that there are also people from outside who ask for help. But I don''t think many of them are sincere. It''s just for the sake of our family''s position. It''s not nice to say that this companion is like a tiger. As an official in the court, no one dares to say that he can marry her to such a family all his life. If our family has been doing well all the time, if it is really defeated, how will these people compare with her? Why do you suddenly think of asking this today? "


    Fang Xinsu took a sip of tea with a smile. "What else can I do for? It''s not your servant girl. She''s too outspoken. She''s taken a fancy to! "


    Leisurely suddenly came interest "who is it? Tell me about it

 Chapter 199

    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "it''s not a big man. It''s a bodyguard in our palace. His name is Zheng Quan. However, he has been serving our Lord since he was a child. He is a confidant of our Lord. Now he also has the position of chief of zhengqipin. That time, Yutan went to the palace to deliver things. Somehow, he saw him and tried every means to inquire with the people around me. Later, he asked the Lord for help. The LORD had been thinking of offering him a marriage for several years, but he refused to wait until he got married. Now he''s finally got the person he''s in love with. No, my Lord is also very attentive. He wants me to come and ask him today. "


    Leisurely nodded and said, "it sounds good, but I don''t know what''s the character?"


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "if you look at it, you''ll know. Today he came with a group of soldiers."


    Leisurely smile with shaking his head, "it''s not that I want to see each other, this thing has to be seen by Yutan himself." Having said that, he thought for a while and felt that it would be safe to ask an old man to take a look at it, so he asked someone to invite mother Wang. Shen Xi goes to the government every day. Mother Wang has nothing to do. Most of the time, she does some needlework in Shen Xi''s yard and looks at the house. When she heard that grandma was invited, mother Wang put down her work, got up and straightened her clothes and hair.


    See Fang Xinsu here, busy to Le''an Princess and Princess please. In my heart, I was thinking that my grandmother was really a person with good fortune, even the princess did not dislike her origin and liked to associate with her. Leisurely don''t know her in the mind of thought, will she call to the side, low voice told a few words.


    After listening to leisurely''s words, mother Wang laughed, "since grandma looks up to me, I''ll leave it to the old slave. I just don''t know where Miss Yutan is now."


    Leisurely smile "she just went to the kitchen and made Zaoni yam cake for the princess." Mother Wang nodded. First she went to the kitchen and asked for a large pot of iced mung bean soup. Although leisurely thinks it''s cold and easy not to drink, he still instructs the kitchen to cook a big pot every day, so that the people in the house can drink two bowls and go to the summer.


    After that, they are in a bit of mood to talk about gossip. Recently, the biggest gossip in the capital is nothing more than the story of King Chu''s mansion. Although both of them are not talkative, the fact that the king of Chu is not the official business of the state of Chu is too contemptible. Fang Xinsu didn''t know that the princess of Chu secretly attacked the king of Chu. She just thought that she was wronged. Indignantly, she said, "Princess Chu is really kind. If I were you, those women soldiers who know kung fu would beat the heartless one first. A big man, who has the ability to work outside, will only go home and beat his wife. Is there any backbone? "


    Yutan just steamed the cake on the pot. When she saw that mother Wang was coming, she went up to help her. "If mother wants anything, just tell the little servant girls. How can you still work for your parents?" Wang''s mother said with a smile, "it''s nothing. I should move my old bone if it''s empty, otherwise it''s rusty." Then she asked with a smile, "I''m going to take these things to the front yard. I wonder if the girl is free to come with me?"


    It will take some time for the cake to come out of the pot. Yutan thought that she was waiting here, so she told the little girl to watch, and then helped mother Wang take some big bowls to the front yard. While walking, Yu Tan asked, "what does mom do with these things in the front yard?"


    Mother Wang said with a smile, "it''s not that the princess has come here, but the servant girls around her have already been settled, but there are still many bodyguards waiting in the hall. Grandma was about to find someone to deliver some mung bean soup. I just ran into her and asked for this job. " Then he said a few words to Yutan in a low voice. Yutan''s face flushed, but he didn''t refuse. While they were talking, they were already in the front yard. Fang Xinsu doesn''t set up a full set of instruments when she goes out, but she doesn''t count the maid she follows everyday. There are more than a dozen bodyguards. Zheng Quan is different from other bodyguards because he has seven grades of official clothes, so he is also conspicuous. Yu Tan can be seen at a glance. It''s just that she didn''t want to take a close look. When she came, Zheng Quan looked at her with his eyes, which made her feel very embarrassed. He put down several bowls in his hand and left in a hurry. It was mother Wang who stayed and talked to Zheng Quan for a long time.


    Yutan went back to the kitchen and saw that the yam cake had already been steamed. He quickly took it out and cut it. He picked up a powder green plate from Longquan kiln and put it in front of leisurely and fangxinsu. As soon as Fang Xinsu looked at the dish, he said, "I want to eat just looking at the fresh color, but it''s really clever. No wonder someone is thinking about it." The blushing jade sandalwood said, "the princess used to make fun of me!" Then he lifted the curtain and went out. Leisurely just wanted to shout for her, she saw a woman in the front yard come and say, "if you go back to grandma, the eunuch in the Queen''s palace is coming. She says she wants to see grandma."


    Smell speech leisurely surprised way "empress how can send someone to see me?" Fang Xinsu said, "I don''t know about this. You go to change your clothes first. I''ll go out with you later. I don''t think it''s a big deal." Leisurely, though full of doubts at the bottom of her heart, she quickly changed into a big dress. She changed a jade hairpin she used to wear on her head into a pearl hairpin she used to wear. After finishing up, she came out and went to the front yard with Fang Xinsu.


    Liu Hua, the great eunuch of Kunning palace, is not as good as Xu Bao, the eunuch in charge of Kunning palace, but he is also the red man in front of the queen. Fang Xinsu often enters the palace, but he is quite familiar with Liu Hua. At the moment, he says with a smile, "I don''t know what''s important for the empress. Please come to visit Mr. Liu himself."


    When Liu Hua saw Fang Xinsu, he immediately gave a gift and said with a smile, "old slave saw the carriage of Prince Rong''s house just outside the gate. He guessed that the princess was here, but he didn''t guess wrong. The empress also mentioned the princess yesterday. She said that the princess had not been in the palace for many days. " Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "I''m afraid I''ll go there frequently. My mother thinks I''m noisy." Liu Hua said with a quick smile, "the princess is joking. When she sees the princess, she only likes her. How can she dislike the princess?" Then he looked at Youran with a smile and said, "this must be Mrs. Shen. I''ve met Mrs. Shen." He said that he was about to salute and was stopped by leisurely himself. "My father-in-law is polite. I don''t know what''s important about his trip?" Speaking, quietly stuffed a purse in the past.

 Chapter 200

    Liu Hua felt the things in his purse. It seemed that they were golden melon seeds. He was very satisfied. "Don''t worry, madam," she said with a smile. "There are two pots of orchids in Kunning palace, which are very popular with the queen. In recent days, they are gradually withering down. After looking for the gardener in the palace, they don''t know how to do it. It''s said that Mrs. Shen is a master of dilling flowers. The empress wants to ask her to come into the palace and help her. I wonder if she will? "


    Can I say no? Overwhelmed by an unexpected favour, she make complaints about her smile. "It''s my honor to see me, and I''ll try my best to do it."


    Liu Hua also said with a smile, "at the end of tomorrow, my wife will go straight to the Dakang gate to deliver the sign. Then someone will meet my wife."


    Leisurely smile should be next, and said, "it''s almost noon, if the father-in-law does not dislike, it''s better to use lunch here." Liu Hua chuckled and shook his head. "Madam, you''re welcome. I have something to do, so I won''t bother you here." Then he looked at Fang Xinsu and said, "don''t forget to enter the palace when the princess is free. The empress is worried about it." Fang Xinsu nodded slightly, "OK, go back and tell your mother that I''ll take good things to see her in two days." Liu Hua replied with a smile, "the old slave must be here. I just hope the princess doesn''t pigeon the old slave." Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "that''s not going to happen."


    After politeness, Liu Hua turned around and left. Leisurely personally sent to chuihuamen, and let housekeeper Haosheng send Liu Hua and his party to the door.


    Back in the room, leisurely light frown said, "I do not know this is a blessing or disaster?"


    Fang Xinsu patted her hand and said, "don''t worry. Although the empress is always dignified, she is not the unreasonable person. As long as you do your best, she will not blame you." Leisurely smell speech, in the heart a little bit more stable.


    In the afternoon, after Fang Xinsu left, leisurely called Yutan to his side. There were only two of them in the room, and the rest of them were leisurely cleared out. Leisurely looking at her, she asked, "you''ve seen me. The princess also said that he has been with the king of Rongjun since he was a child. He''s the Lord''s personal guard. Now he''s the general manager of zhengqipin. It''s Gaoming if you marry him. Although it is said that the generals are vulgar, it is better to talk about benefits than to marry those scholars. If the character is not good, the princess will not open this mouth. What''s rare is that he has a crush on you, which is more suitable than what we have found for you. What''s in your mind? "


    Yutan''s face was slightly red, but he said in a soft voice, "thank you for your trouble, but I don''t know if there are any relatives in his family? Does his family have any opinion on this? He is also a military officer at some point. It is hard to guarantee that he will not prosper in the future. But I''m just a slave. Now he thinks I''m good. Will that be the case in a few years


    Leisurely said, "if you can ask like this, it means that you know what you have in mind, and you don''t have to worry too much about others. I''ve asked mother Wang to help you. His parents were the children brought by the first princess, but his parents died early and he was the only one left. He followed the prince since childhood. Before the death of the first imperial concubine, she eliminated his servitude in order not to let the people in the backyard of the palace control him. Now that he knows your identity well and comes to ask for marriage, he will not care about your identity. As for the others, life is out of their own, since some things have not happened, why bother! I believe that with your ability, you will be able to lead a good life. "


    Jade Tan smell speech, thought for a while, then nodded a way "maidservant, but depend on grandma to make decision." Leisurely took her hand and said, "don''t worry, I won''t treat you lightly in this matter."


    In the evening, when Shen Ze came back, he heard that his wife was going to the palace to meet the empress. He didn''t worry too much. He comforted her and said, "don''t worry. The empress is reasonable. I don''t think she will be scolded for two pots of flowers. Just go."


    Leisurely smile "the last time when the Empress Dowager was young, although she knew that the Empress Dowager was sitting at the bottom of the Empress Dowager''s head, she was so nervous that she didn''t dare to look up. She only vaguely saw the Phoenix crown on her head. Now I have the chance to see the queen with my own eyes. I can''t say whether I''m worried or excited. " Shen Ze shook her hand with a smile. "I''ll get up early tomorrow and have a rest early." Then let the servant girl bring in water to wash them, and then go to bed.


    On the second day, leisurely got up early in the morning. After having breakfast, he changed into Gaoming clothes and drove straight to the palace. Although Mr. Liu was talking about the end of the Chen Dynasty, leisurely still advanced for a while, and arrived at Dakang gate at the beginning of the Chen Dynasty. Pass the sign to the guard, who obviously received the letter and let it go. A eunuch in charge of reception had already led leisurely to a side hall to wait. After waiting for a moment, a maid in charge of Kunning palace came to inquire. When she saw leisurely, she said with a smile, "madam, please follow me." Leisurely did not dare to delay, quickly got up and stroked the clothes, then followed the maid to the inner palace. Along the way, I didn''t dare to look around, only vaguely saw the red wall and golden tiles shining in the sunshine. I don''t know how long I''ve been walking, and I''ve made a few turns. When I arrived at the front of a palace, the maid of honor suddenly stopped and said with a smile, "OK, here we are." Looking up leisurely, I saw a black red sandalwood plaque hanging at the gate of the palace in front of me, on which was written three big words "Kunning Palace". There was no time to take a closer look, so the maid in waiting took leisurely to a side hall of Kunning palace. The palace maid said with a smile, "Xia Meiren and Lin pin Niang in the palace are talking with Niang in the main hall. Madam, please wait here now." Leisurely smile holding the hand of the maid, a purse quietly handed to the maid''s palm, "please aunt."


    The maid nodded slightly, "madam, you''re welcome. If you have any errands, I''ll leave first." Then he turned and went out. After a while, a little maid in waiting sent a tea. Leisurely, since she had breakfast, she had not touched the water. And against the sun came all the way, it is really a little thirsty, then picked up the cup to sip two, moisten the lips. Needless to say, the tea in the Queen''s palace is extraordinary. It''s sweet and fragrant, moist but not astringent. It''s just for hospitality. I don''t know how good the queen drinks on weekdays. After drinking tea, he picked up his pocket watch and looked at the time. Then he took a look at his make-up with a small mirror inlaid on it. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, he sat there quietly waiting to be summoned.


    Fortunately, it didn''t take long for leisurely to wait. Just now, the maid in waiting came to ask her "empress, please go there." Hearing the speech, leisurely immediately stood up, straightened out the folds on the clothes, and followed the maid to the front hall.

 Chapter 201

    When she got to the palace, she looked at a beautiful lady in palace dress sitting on the throne in the middle of the main hall. The futon had already been set on the ground. She knelt down and said, "the wife of Shen Ze, commander of the imperial forest army, Lin''s wife, paid a visit to the empress. The empress is thousands of years old." With that, he made a big salute of three bows and nine kowtows.


    After the ceremony, empress Meng asked people to help her up with a smile. "Mrs. Shen doesn''t have to be polite, just come to our palace." During the conversation, a palace man moved a chair and put it on the lower head of empress Meng. Leisurely see, also did not rigidly, sued a seat, inclined body to sit down. Empress Meng saw that although she did not have the appearance of national beauty and natural fragrance, her eyes were smiling and her eyebrows were open, which made people feel very kind. I can''t help laughing and saying, "I should have seen you earlier, but I''ve been delayed. Now I have something to ask for before I remember to let you into the palace. Don''t you blame my palace in your heart? "


    Hearing this, leisurely quickly stood up and said, "the queen is joking. It''s a great honor for her to be summoned by her. How can she complain?"


    Empress Meng gently waved her hand. "Well, this palace is just joking. Please sit down." Seeing leisurely sitting down, empress Meng said, "thanks to the girl Le''an, I''ve got a lot of flowers and plants from you here. I didn''t know what kind of person could raise such vivid flowers and plants. Now I see you, I think that person should be like you. It''s said that you embroidered the picture of auspicious crane in the Empress Dowager''s palace. I really don''t know how such a clever mind grows? "


    Leisurely smile "the empress is over praised, and the courtesan are just a little gifted here, and they spend a little more time thinking about it because they like it. There are many skillful craftsmen who are more powerful than my wife, but my wife is lucky that this idea can be sent to the empress. I think it''s not only the honor of my wife, but also the fortune of these flowers and plants. "


    Empress Meng said with a smile, "your little mouth is really sweet. No wonder Mrs. Han treats you as her daughter. But what you said is easy. I''m afraid the extra thought is not as light as what you said. It''s a fine day today. Would Mrs. Shen like to go to the back garden with us? "


    Leisurely quickly stood up, "I''m honored."


    At that moment, the eunuch in the palace opened the way ahead and moved to the back garden after empress Meng. This garden is the inner garden of Kunning palace. Although it can''t compare with the Royal Garden, there are many kinds of flowers and trees. Apart from various kinds of orchids, there are a few clumps of green bamboo and two tall ginkgo trees. But leisurely is suddenly fell in love with here quiet chic feeling, now praise "Niangniang palace in this garden, very suitable for the growth of orchids."


    "Empress Meng laughs," right? The orchids used to be fine, but I don''t know what''s wrong with these two pots recently. They have been lifeless all the time. " With that, he pointed to the two pots of orchids brought by the palace people. Leisurely took a look and said, "these two purple orchids are rare treasures." After that, he went to a nearby place and carefully looked at the leaves of two pots of orchids. Then he twisted the soil in the pot with his fingers and smelled it. Then he gently shook his head. "The gardener who raised this flower should be a very experienced gardener. The fault of this flower is not in the breeding method."


    After hearing this, the people around were all in a cloud. Empress Meng frowned, "what''s the matter?"


    "Orchid grass is very sensitive to the surrounding smell and environment. I don''t think these two orchids were originally put here. Maybe even the gardener who took care of them changed. If you want to save these two pots of orchids, why don''t you put them back to the original place, smoke the original spices in the room, and look at them in a few days. " Empress Meng sighed, thinking of her dead niece. These two potted flowers were her favorite things in her life. Now people are gone, just hope these two orchids can survive, how much is a comfort! The horizontal and vertical room for a while and a half will not be for others to live in, so he told the maid in waiting behind him to "send the flowers, do as Mrs. Shen said."


    At this time, the palace people came to report that Princess Zhou was asking for a meeting outside. Empress Meng asked people to announce her to come in. She turned around and said a few words to leisurely. She was rewarded with two satins and asked her to step down.


    When leisurely walking to the front of the hall, I happened to meet princess Zhou, who came to greet the queen. I immediately saluted her, "my wife, see Princess Zhou." Princess Zhou had just heard from the palace people that the queen was meeting Mrs. Shen Ze. She said with a smile, "Mrs. Shen, don''t be so polite. Please get up quickly. If I want to greet my wife, I won''t delay her going out of the palace. " Finish saying, lightly nod a smile, then walked forward.


    Leisurely only when this is an episode, not to the heart. But empress Meng said with a smile when she saw Princess Zhou, "just now when I saw Mrs. Shen, I felt a little familiar, but I really can''t remember who she looked like. Now that I see you, I know that she is a bit like you in her bearing. "


    After hearing this, Princess Zhou replied, "does the empress mother say that her daughter-in-law is similar to Mrs. Shen?"


    Empress Meng shook her head with a smile. "It''s not the appearance. I mean you two have similar bearing. Well, let''s not talk about that. What''s the matter with you when you enter the Palace this time? "


    Then they talked about other things. Queen Meng said those two words casually and then forgot them. But Princess Zhou kept it in mind until she was sitting in the carriage out of the palace. She thought that Shen Tian, who was popular in the Linjiang rebellion, might be one of her fellow countrymen. After all, Shen Tian was born into the royal family and gave birth to the standard dragon and Phoenix fetus. Later, she seemed so calm and self possessed in the rebellion, But she tried several times, the other side did not pick. Now, I''m afraid she guessed wrong. Compared with Shen Tian, who was born in a prominent family, the experience of Mrs. Shen is more like a winner in her life. But, this fellow townsman, do you want to recognize it or not?


    However, since the palace people moved the two pots of orchids to the house where Kong Jiaying lived according to leisurely, a few days later, the two pots of orchids gradually showed new vitality, and even grew two tender leaves at the root. Empress Meng was overjoyed and let the palace people take good care of her. Instead, she rewarded leisurely with many things.


    This time, it''s not like the last time. It''s just two light silks. In addition to four top-grade xiangyunsha, there are four pairs of auspicious and fish like zijinzhuzi, a complete set of twelve palace fans, two Hibiscus mats and two strings of top-quality carnan bracelets. Seeing off the visitors from the palace, I was very happy to see the reward in front of me. Let alone the rest, she really has no shortage. It was two strings of hands that she loved.

 Chapter 202

    The Canaanite incense here is Aquilaria, and it is the top class of Aquilaria. There has always been a saying of "one or two eaglewood, one or two gold". Leisurely in his previous life also liked eaglewood, but because the real price of eaglewood was too expensive, he only bought a string of eaglewood for comfort. I didn''t expect that I got two strings of Canaanite incense all at once. I picked up one leisurely. My tentacles were warm and delicate, but I had a unique cold feeling in this hot day. Put it in your hand and smell it gently, the aroma is mellow and natural, continuous and refreshing.


    These two strings are the same, with 36 Canaanite beads. In addition, they are also strung with a very good-looking yellow agate and two red corals, which can be worn in two circles. This pair of things, a couple of a string is excellent, but the beads regardless of color and size are not suitable for men to wear, so leisurely found a box to put away one of the string of good life, the other string is naturally directly put on the hand. Even now, such a thing is very valuable and can be used as a family heirloom. In later generations, it is estimated that at least a two bedroom apartment within the second ring road of Beijing can be replaced.


    The rest of the things, leisurely left a few fans and two pieces of xiangyunsha, the rest of the things were divided into two, people sent to Changping Marquis house and Lin family each one. When the things were sent to the Marquis''s house in Changping, Meng was talking to Han Jin. He saw the fan, Furong mat and some fresh fruits from leisurely. She said to Han Jin with a smile, "it''s still my daughter''s kindness. No matter what good things you get, your sister leisurely wants to send me one. How can you think of your mother''s things like you He nodded his head.


    Han Jin said with a smile, "isn''t it the same to wait for my son to marry a daughter-in-law some other day and honor you?" Meng''s white he one eye "you don''t have a proper type, whose family''s daughter is willing to marry you!" Speaking of this, Meng was also worried. At the beginning, she was intrigued and had two children in succession. Later, it was so easy for her to have such a son, and she was weak and sick since childhood. At that time, she was hurt again and could not regenerate, so she spoiled the only child. At this age, although Han Jin is not as bad as her descendants, she is not as good as her parents. Although he will be able to inherit a count title in the future, it is obvious that with Han Jin''s current performance, there is no big future in the future. Those families with long-term vision do not want to give Han Jin the daughter who is carefully raised in the family. But there are many poor families who are in a hurry to marry their daughters. Meng''s view is different


    No, it''s been delayed like this.


    After listening to her mother''s words, Han Jin said with a smile, "mother doesn''t have to worry. Her son will appoint you to find a daughter-in-law who is outstanding in everything."


    Meng looked at his son with a wry smile. "I don''t want to go out in every way. I''m satisfied with your leisurely elder sister''s personality and bearing." After that, I don''t pay any attention to him. The servant girls around him were told to pick out some good lychees and grapes from Tubo for the Lin family to take back.


    Leisurely look at the fruit brought back by the mother-in-law, and quickly divide some to be sent to the Lin family and Fang Xinsu''s home. Fang Xinsu likes lychee best. Although this season is just the time for litchi to go on the market in the south, it''s just that no one else can see it. However, no matter how rare things he had, there would be no shortage of official department secretaries in his family.


    In the afternoon, Shen Xi came back from the government office and asked leisurely to settle down. He pointed to a pair of new Pearl hairpins on his head and said, "sister-in-law, you see, these hairpins on my head are from sister Xiang. Are they nice?"


    At a leisurely glance, the hairpin is a butterfly pattern strung with pearls the size of beans. It''s quite exquisite. The pearls are not big, but they are rare pink. It''s just right for a little girl to wear. Now he said with a smile, "it''s very nice. It''s just right for you. It''s a coincidence that I just got some fans from the empress today. I''ll give you two. Tomorrow you''ll take one to Xiang''er. " Say, let servant girl take two handle palace fan to come over.


    Naturally, everything that comes out of the palace is made with great precision. The handle of the fan is made of jade. The carving is very delicate and smooth. The tentacles are cool. Shen Xi is now nearly ten years old. When his sister-in-law says it''s from the palace, she knows it''s extremely valuable. At the moment, she accepted "thank you, sister-in-law. By the way, I heard from my aunt today that sister Xiang''s father and mother are coming back soon."


    Pick your eyebrows leisurely, right? This is a good thing. I remember when the second master and the second wife went out, Xiang''er was only five or six years old. Now they are both fifteen year old girls. With a mother by your side, it''s good to do some things. " Shen Xi spat out his tongue. "That''s what Auntie said."


    Although leisurely knows the news that the second master of the Shen family is coming back, he thinks that it has nothing to do with him, so he puts it behind him. Now she has more important things to be busy with, that is the marriage of Yutan.


    Yutan finally nods and agrees to Zheng Quan''s marriage. She is the big servant girl beside leisurely. Leisurely naturally doesn''t treat her badly. Personally presided over the marriage for her, but also took the lead to let jade Tan worship mother Wang as godmother. One has no parents and the other has no children. It''s just right to make a piece of it. Wang''s mother was a good mother, and leisurely let people to the registered residence of Yu tan.


    Now, half of the six rites have passed, and there is a small Dingli. Zheng Quan had been with the king for many years, and he had saved a lot of good things. On the day of xiaodingli, the matchmaker sent a set of gold and silver headpieces, four pieces of silk and satin, and a peacock bead hairpin, which was not too simple. He himself has a second house in the back street of Prince Rong''s house. Yutan can be the master of the family when he marries her. Even mother Wang is very satisfied with the marriage.


    After a small ceremony, leisurely then opened the warehouse, let people find out two pieces of red satin for Yutan, let her do dowry bedding. In addition, he gave her a set of red gold headdress and twenty taels of silver. He said, "these are dowries given to you according to the rules. When you come out of the cabinet, I have something good to add to your dowry." Yutan took things and kowtowed thanks.


    These things were given in front of a group of servant girls. After leisurely giving Yutan things, he turned to them and said, "in the future, the big servant girls around me, whether they are married in the house or released, will follow this example, and the rest of the servant girls will decrease according to their grades. As long as you work hard, I will not treat you badly. Today, I''ll make it clear that I can''t tolerate sand in my eyes. If I find out in the future that one of you has a mind you shouldn''t have, no wonder I can''t tolerate her. " The servant girls knelt down to show their loyalty. Because Shen Ze is always clean, the maids are envious when they see that Yu Tan has a good home, but no one has those dirty thoughts for the time being. Leisurely finish saying, then let them scattered.

 Chapter 203

    Zheng Quan is in his twenties and four years old. He is one year older than Shen Ze when he got married. Now that it''s settled, I want to get married as soon as possible. It''s the beginning of August when I''m finished. After people see it, the day will be set in December. Leisurely has long since eliminated Yutan''s slavery, and now she is not allowed to wait on her side, only to make her dowry at home. Yutan thinks that what she married is not a big family. It''s enough to make four clothes every season. She has accumulated a lot of good materials over the years. It''s no problem to do it after she gets married. Although the time was tight, leisurely let the embroiderer help to make some. Other sisters also helped to bear part of it. Yutan only made wedding clothes, but it was too late.


    Jade Tan left, leisurely side big servant girl''s seat then empty come out. Leisurely and then will be sweet pine and Su He, AI Xiang


    Although willow leaves came early, they didn''t learn the rules from childhood. There are still some deficiencies in some places. However, she was more diligent than others. Leisurely, she was also promoted to the first class. Luomei, the former third class servant girl, and Disheng were promoted to the second class. In addition to the remaining two servant girls of the third class, leisurely is surrounded by servant girls now. But as soon as she thought of Liu Ye and Gan song''s age, she thought that it was time to train some little servant girls.


    Leisurely looking at the hand of the roster, according to the head, just married over, the family were only a few servant girls? I don''t think there''s anything I can''t do. Now that I''m only a few years old, I deeply feel that I don''t have enough hands. Xi son now also gradually big, the side has only two or three servant girls, also ought to prepare a few more. As she thought about it, she asked someone to take a message to the famous lady Guan Ya Xu in the capital, asking her to bring some people to have a look these two days. After all, my family is still a little shallow, even the Shen family didn''t have many children before. There are a lot of servants in Chuang Tzu, but leisurely would rather choose those little maids who have no foundation and spend more time to train them, rather than those servants who are closely related. Maybe, one day, she will let the next people unite to get it.


    But said jade Tan since decided to marry, it is not good to wait on leisurely side, leisurely will Shen Xi yard on the edge of the small cross yard picked up for their mother to live. Although there were only three main rooms and one west wing in the courtyard, the two women finally had their own world. When Yutan moved things, she gave all the clothes and materials she had accumulated over the years to her sisters. Liu Ye had always been good friends with her, and the most she got was a big fur coat and two Dorothy coats, several pieces of fur and some scattered feet.


    The big hair clothes are brand new, the wind hair is good, but the color is dark ginger, not like people of their age will wear. Liu Ye has several big woolen clothes that she gives leisurely, and she doesn''t lack them. But two Dorothy jackets, one bright red and one orange red, are all 70% new and very conspicuous. Yutan himself left the orange one, wrapped the big Mao dress and the big red Dorothy jacket with a bundle, took a can of tea from the owner, told leisurely, and then went out.


    It turned out that LiuYe had gone to her aunt''s house. In the first few years, she didn''t dare to go out and walk around for fear that her father and stepmother might see something wrong. Later, she heard that her father and his family had already moved out of the capital to do business in the south, so she dared to visit her aunt occasionally. After all, if she had not had an aunt, she would have been frozen to death or starved to death. LiuYe is a grateful person, so after two years of easy money, she is also very filial to her aunt. Fortunately, although the girl was kind, she had some brains and didn''t tell all her daily income to her aunt''s family.


    When my aunt saw Da Mao''s clothes, she continued to admire them. It''s very good for a poor family to wear new cotton padded clothes in winter. Who''s willing to spend a lot of money on such good da Mao''s clothes. She touched her dress and said, "such a dress is in an old clothes shop. I''m afraid it will cost twenty Liang silver. You just gave it to me, and the master of your house won''t say anything? "


    Liu Ye smiles and shakes his head. "No, this is what the master gave to our servant girls. As long as it''s not private, the master will never make a theory." Then he pointed to the red Dorothy jacket and said, "this jacket is not brand new, but it''s still bright. If my cousin doesn''t dislike it, I''ll keep it for the cold weather. " Liu Ye''s cousin is called swallow. After hearing this, she quickly pushes her clothes to Liu Ye, "since it''s given to you by others, you''d better keep it for yourself. There are several big red cotton padded robes in my dowry, but your clothes are not very fresh. You''d better keep them yourself. "


    My aunt also said, "yes, at your age, it''s time to dress up. Don''t patronize others." Liu Ye Wenyan pushed his coat to his cousin again. "I really have it. Besides, I''m a little bigger in this dress. My cousin is tall and should be just right." Swallow see willow leaves so sincere, and see mother nodded, just accept "that thank cousin." Then he said with a smile, "no wonder many people are willing to send their daughter to a wealthy family as a servant girl even though they can survive. The cost of food and clothing is really not comparable to that of ordinary families. The servant girl can send out such good clothes at will, and your grandmother still doesn''t know how to be luxurious? " Liu Ye said with a light smile, "our grandmother is not the luxury of Zihao. It''s just that elder sister Yutan used to wait for his wife in Changping, and most of these big clothes were obtained in Hou''s house. Now she has made a promise to give away her old clothes. Our grandmother is really kind-hearted and generous. She helps elder sister Yutan to find a very good marriage. After confiscating a cent of the money for ransom, we released elder sister Yutan''s body deed and gave her silver and jewelry as dowry. The whole family praised her very much. "


    After listening to this, Liu Ye''s aunt looked like she was a good person. You are not young now. Do you have any plans? "


    Liu Ye blushed and said, "it''s too early to talk about this now. I just serve the master with my heart. My grandmother will make the decision for me in the future."


    The aunt looked at her niece''s graceful appearance. Who could have thought that the black and thin little girl in her childhood would grow up like this now. She was planning for her niece, and then she advised, "listen to what you said. I think the grandmother in your family is kind-hearted. My aunt said that she shouldn''t say it. You''re a good servant. Don''t learn from other people''s thoughts. "

 Chapter 204

    Smell speech, willow leaves quickly waved, "aunt said what, I no longer have such a mind, our grandmother is so good to me, how can I do this kind of thing. What''s more, how can those housewives be so good? I just want to work hard and save more money, and I''ll get married in the future and be a good lady. " After hearing this, my aunt was relieved. "If you have this ambition, you can rest assured. If your redemption money is not enough, my aunt will add some money to you." After hearing this, Liu Ye just smiles and shakes her head. "Aunt, don''t worry. Niece knows." Although the life of my aunt''s family has been better in the past two years, after my cousin got married, the next two cousins are in their teens, and they will soon reach the age of marriage. My aunt''s life of spending money is still in the future. Naturally, she won''t ask her for money.


    In a hurry, Shen''s second room finally arrived in the capital two days before Han''s birthday. Although the second house has been divided, their house has been uninhabited for a long time. Even if there are servants to take care of it, there are still many dilapidated places. So Shen Mingchang began to leave their family to stay in the house. When Er Fang came back this time, besides going to Beijing to report on his work, he also wanted to tell his eldest son and eldest daughter a marriage in Beijing. He was eager to live in the government and took advantage of the situation. Naturally, he was full of promise.


    That night, Han specially set up a dinner party at home and invited Shen Ze and his family to meet the second room. The second wife is in her early thirties this year. Maybe she has been out with her husband for many years. She looks a little haggard and younger than Han. Master Shen Er has been away for many years. Even though he has the relationship with the government, he has just risen from the seventh grade to the fifth grade. When Mrs. Shen Er saw leisurely, her nephew''s daughter-in-law really couldn''t hold up her airs. Even though she used to be a servant girl at home, her life is still higher than her. The second wife saw leisurely and said with a smile, "in the past, I thought you were a good one. At the beginning, I thought that if you were such an outstanding child, I didn''t know who would be cheaper in the future, but now it''s still fat and water." Then he pinched Kangtai''s little fat hand and said with a smile, "this is kangge''er. He''s really a smart boy!" Then from his pocket, he took out an emerald safety clasp with a knot. The color of the safety clasp was transparent and lustrous, and there were several gem beads around it. At first glance, he knew that it was valuable. Leisurely waiting to refuse, the second wife has been quick and fast tied to Kangtai''s skirt.


    Then the second wife pointed to a box on the ground and said, "it''s not a good thing. It''s for children to wear. Don''t be so humble. We didn''t come back when you got married. There are some local things here. You can take them back for your own use or give them away. " Leisurely not good to refuse, with a smile line of a gift, "then thank you for your aunt''s hospitality."


    Then, leisurely, I met Shen Xiang''s brothers and sisters. The second wife gave birth to three sons and one daughter. The youngest son was only seven years old, born after the second wife went to Jiangnan. In addition, there are two common sons and three common daughters. Because they were all close relatives, even a few boys did not evade. Although I''ve heard about it for a long time, it''s a bit silly to see this group of children with my own eyes.


    Although the heart shocked, but leisurely or with a smile will be prepared in the morning to meet their gift one by one out. The three legitimate sons, big or small, are two pairs of gold, two pairs of silver, one side of Duan inkstone and one new book. Shen Xiang is a common person on weekdays. Leisurely, he didn''t give a meeting gift. He only gave the same meeting gift to three common women and two common sons. They are a pair of Jin Zhuzi and a new book. Then, leisurely, he took off a pair of pink hibiscus jade bracelets from his hand and put them on Shen Xiang''s hand. "I haven''t been here for a few days, and my sister has become a big girl. It''s just the one beside the bracelet. It''s better than the fresh color. It''s just suitable for a young girl like my sister Shen man looked at his mother and nodded slightly. After accepting it, he said with a smile, "thank you for your kindness."


    Because there is no outsider, we just gather in a room, separated by a screen. It''s a long time to see you again. Although I''m happy, I can''t help feeling and sighing. Although the second wife knew that her eldest sister-in-law had never been a fuel-efficient lamp, she came back after many years and saw that she had given birth to her own son as she wished. Her daughter is now a prince and his wife. The old lady who used to be a bully in the house is now lying in bed and waiting to die. The most threatening common son has also been assigned to Chuang Tzu... She is also shivering in her heart, I can''t help but be more in awe of this sister-in-law. But in the twinkling of an eye to see her daughter now beautiful, elegant appearance, see more than a few common women, in the heart is also very grateful. What''s more, the husband''s position in the future will have to trouble his sister-in-law to help, so the two wives have a lot of flattery between words and deeds. It''s just that her number of paragraphs is relatively high. Although she is flattering, she doesn''t let people feel disgusted. Shen Tian heard that the second uncle''s family had come back. Although it was inconvenient to go back to his mother''s home near production, he also had people send a lot of things to welcome them. Naturally, the second wife of Shen had to take her daughter to the palace to greet Shen Tian.


    After taking part in the reception banquet of Er Fang, then Han''s birthday and Mid Autumn Festival, leisurely all day long, busy to meet and send, there is no leisure time. After the Mid Autumn Festival, leisurely felt tired all over. As soon as he was ready to have a good rest for a few days, news came from the government that Shen Tian had successfully given birth to a legitimate son last night, and the mother and son were safe.


    Leisurely is happy for Shen Tian. On the day of the third baptism, he prepared a big gift and went to the palace with Han and his second wife to attend the third baptism of the young master. The little boy was born full-term, much fatter than his elder brother and sister when they were just born. Han looked at his grandson and said to Shen Tian, "now, I''m relieved that you have these two legitimate sons. It''s just that royal children are always delicate, and it''s easier to survive. It takes more effort to raise them. "


    Shen Tian leaned on the big soft pillow and nodded gently, "mother, don''t worry, I''ll save it." Seeing that there was no one else around, Han said in a low voice, "I heard that the lady also gave birth to a son? You have to be calm. "


    Hearing the speech, Shen Tian nodded with a smile, "mother, don''t worry, I have a sense of propriety. It''s just a common son. They both have sons. As long as my children grow up safely, I have nothing to be afraid of. "


    Han patted his daughter''s hand. "Just think about it. There''s one more thing. Your father asked me to tell you. I can''t say when you''re pregnant. I''m afraid you''ve moved your breath. Now that the draft is coming to an end, it''s better to tell you earlier that you are ready. " Then he whispered a few words in Shen Tian''s ear.

 Chapter 205

    After listening to Han''s story, Shen Tian gently frowned, "there''s such a thing. Mother means that Wang Ye doesn''t know it himself?"


    Han nodded. "Your father said it. When the imperial doctor said it, the prince was still in a coma. Only two imperial doctors and his majesty knew about it. Even your father just barely heard this because of his good Kung Fu. "


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "well, it''s not necessarily a bad thing for me." Now that she has two sons and one daughter, she is relieved to have fewer common children. In addition to Feng''s concubine and the concubine brought by the king of Liang himself, there was a room in front of him who found out that she was pregnant. The day was about the same as that of Feng''s concubine. In this way, her sister-in-law praised her for her kindness and generosity on the face, and laughed at her behind the scenes. They felt that she could not hold the king of Liang and even the concubines in the house. One by one, they had children one after another, and the future family property of the king''s house would not be broken up?


    Shen Tian didn''t pay any attention to these rumors. What she was planning was not just the land in front of her. As for the people in the backyard of the palace, as long as they don''t put their hands around their mother and son, Shen Tian doesn''t care.


    After half a month, Feng''s wife gave birth smoothly, and her mother and daughter were safe. This month, the royal family gave birth to three grandsons. This granddaughter is a little strange. The reward in the palace is more than that of the concubines. Of course, it''s also because of the position of concubine Feng.


    Although she was full of hope that the baby would be a son, it didn''t work out in the end. Fortunately, all the servant girls around her told her to "blossom first and bear fruit later". She was born in October, and gradually became fond of her children. Shen Tian is sitting in the confinement, smell speech, let people according to two childe''s example a few days ago thick reward Feng side imperial concubine mother and daughter. Although the second childe''s biological mother was not angry, her status was low, but she did not dare to say anything.


    Another month later, the second concubine of the king of Liang was born. Shen Tian was promoted to the fourth son''s birth mother according to the rules, and he rewarded some things. The reward in the palace was not very thick, so she was relieved. Although her love is not as good as before, she is determined to take the Queen''s hind legs. Shen Tian sees her respectful attitude and caresses her at will on weekdays. The days of the two women in the palace are not bad.


    In addition to the four children in King Liang''s mansion, a woman in King Zhou''s mansion also gave birth to a little grandson. But the child''s mother is a blessing, gave birth to the child soon after postpartum hemorrhage, unfortunately went. After hearing this, Princess Zhou sighed and ordered her servant Haosheng to bury her. Then she took the baby to her yard and raised it herself.


    No one else has any objection to this. On the contrary, when Princess Wei knew about it, she broke a handkerchief. She was full of the idea that Princess Zhou was not at peace with the prince, and she was deeply favored by the king of Zhou. Her eldest son might be chosen as the son of the world in the future to inherit the throne of the palace. I didn''t expect that Princess Zhou had a son in her yard now. Hum, it''s just a cheap maid. It''s not sure if she can support her. Let''s wait and see!


    These things have nothing to do with leisurely, Zhuang Shu''s fetal image is not good, almost eat what vomit what, pregnant more than three months, the body is more emaciated than before. Lin''s mother''s anxious mouth had several bubbles, and she almost went back to her mother''s house to look after her day by day. It is also very hard to comfort mother and take care of younger brother and daughter-in-law. Fortunately, life at home is better now. All day long, supplements like bird''s nest and ginseng are constantly available. Zhuang Shu''s body can support her. She invited several doctors to see it, and they all said it would be OK. Sure enough, after more than a month, she gradually got better. She could eat more, her face became plump and her complexion became ruddy, and the people''s heart relaxed.


    Leisurely see sister-in-law good also put down the heart, go home good life for two days. What she didn''t know was that during her busy two months, someone had come up with the idea of her husband.


    Today, Shen Ze was invited to visit a former classmate. His classmate, Chang Bo, is also from Jinzhou. He and Shen Ze studied in the same academy and lived in a school building, so their feelings were very different. He failed in the entrance examination several times in succession, so he found a vacancy as the county magistrate of zhengbapin. Later, with the help of relatives, he rose all the way to zhengqipin. Now he has just come to the Ministry of rites to do the calligraphy of zhengqipin.


    Old friends meet again, and he is a classmate in his hometown. At first, Shen Ze was not on guard, so he drank more. But he, who usually drinks well, is a little dizzy after drinking less than half a jin of wine today. After all, Shen Ze was a man who had been on the battlefield. Now he is in a high position. He has always been careful. Seeing that Chang Bo and others were still trying to persuade him to drink, he was suspicious and continued to drink as if nothing had happened on his face, but secretly spilled all the wine on the floor. Then he pretended to be too drunk. After a while, Chang Bo said it was no fun to drink like this. Then he called in some Kabuki to cheer him up. These Kabuki''s clothes are very exposed. They have been teasing Shen zeduo since they came in. Shen Ze frowned secretly. Although this kind of situation can''t be avoided in social intercourse, it shouldn''t happen in Chang''s home. He knew his classmate''s family background well. His family in Jinzhou was just an ordinary gentry''s family. Although he had a thousand acres of good land, he was just a well-off family. Chang Bo has been an official for several years, but they are all petty officials with limited salaries and external wealth. You can see from their houses. Although in the inner city, it''s only two or more rooms, how can there be a lot of money to support these people? At this time, Chang Bo didn''t know that Shen Ze had been on guard. He was still trying to persuade him to drink, and several accompanying guests were also following him.


    Shen Ze''s eyes narrowed. He didn''t pay much attention to it just now. Now when I look at Chang Bo''s friends, they are all very particular about their clothes. They shouldn''t be what Chang Bo, who just came to Beijing, can make friends with. It seems that his former classmate also has his own calculation. No matter what he wants to do, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. With this in mind, Shen Ze pushed away a singer who rushed to him and stood up and said, "brother Chang, I have to go ahead." Finish saying, regardless of Chang Bo and others to stay, big step meteor left.


    Chang Bo couldn''t stay. Seeing Shen Ze''s back, he angrily lifted the banquet. Shen Ze didn''t pay attention to himself! If it wasn''t for the master who had to woo him, would he have to be so servile to please him? Even so don''t give oneself face, often Bo squint eyes to think since you so regardless of face, then don''t blame me to you!

 Chapter 206

    When Shen Ze came back home, he didn''t expect that he would come back so early. He said with a smile, "I thought your old friends would meet again. Why did you have to talk until midnight to come back? Why did you come back so early?" Shen Ze didn''t want to let his wife know about the mess outside, so he said with a smile, "brother Chang has some urgent things to deal with, so we broke up early. Just now I''ve been drinking a little too much. I don''t eat much. What''s ready to eat in the kitchen? "


    Smell speech, leisurely say "tonight''s Stewed pheasant soup, I let them keep some for you, how about the next bowl of silver noodles?"


    Shen Ze closed his eyes and nodded, leisurely let Liu ye go to the kitchen to ask for some food. Seeing her husband''s tired appearance, she twisted a handkerchief to help him wipe his face and put on his home clothes. I didn''t feel anything when I was far away just now. Now I''m close. Shen Ze breathes wine on leisurely face, which makes her feel a little confused. She can''t help looking at it more. Although Shen Ze closed his eyes, he grasped her hand accurately and put it on his lips for a kiss? Do you look good? "


    Leisurely smile nodded, "well, good-looking, delicious." After hearing this, Shen Zexin was so excited that he pulled her forward. Just as he was about to do something, he heard a sound of stepping outside the door. Shen Ze couldn''t help squeezing leisurely little hand hard. "We''ll have a good discussion after dinner for my husband."


    Shen Ze originally wanted to take time to have a detailed talk with Chang Bo. Even though he had different political views, he had a friendship with his classmates. There was no need to make such a fuss. Who knows, they don''t think so. They come to Beijing this time mainly to win him over. If they can''t, they have to start.


    The next day, Shen Ze, who was satisfied, went to the Yamen as an official early in the morning. After a long night''s sleep, I didn''t get up until the third day. I was still wondering, and I didn''t know how that man could get up so early after a long night''s sleep! Leisurely wash well, just used a bowl of bird''s nest soup, the kitchen to do the breakfast is not ready to eat, just listen to the little girl said that outside came a granny want to visit leisurely.


    Grandma Chang? Leisurely did not recognize the family name of Chang, then thought it might be Shen Ze''s classmate Chang Bo''s wife. It''s just that Shen Ze didn''t mention the Chang family''s visit last night, or she would have got up earlier. At the moment, let the servant girl invite her to the front yard flower hall for tea. She can''t take care of breakfast. She quickly changed her bright clothes and came to the front yard.


    What she guessed was right. It was Chang Bo''s wife, Granny Chang. Granny Chang sat on a chair and looked at the furnishings and furniture in the front hall. Furniture is a water of red sour branches, although not as valuable as red sandalwood and huanghuali, but also very decent furniture. There is also a large screen with red sandalwood base and glass inlaid at the front door. Granny Chang remembers that she once saw one half smaller than this one at her cousin''s house. It is said that it is worth more than 300 taels of silver. Is this screen worth five or six hundred taels? This house is also spacious, even the servants wear decent, the husband''s classmate is really developed, young to save such a family.


    The grandmother of the Shen family is really lucky. She was born as a servant girl, but now she is rich and proud, and she has become a third grade official. As for myself, I was born in an official family. I thought my husband would be able to do well in the future when he was young. Who would have thought that his family had lost sight at the beginning, and her husband failed to win the imperial examination in Beijing for many years. Even with the help of her mother''s family, she is now just a small official of seven grades. Her income in one year is also limited. How long has she not played a new role? She is not as good as a servant girl. It''s humiliating to say that!


    However, Granny Chang turns to see the delicate woman behind her, with a sneer on her lips. It''s said that commander Shen has not even got a room yet. I don''t know whether it''s commander Shen who is clean or grandma Shen''s slave. It''s just a man. There''s no one who doesn''t cheat. I don''t know how long grandma Shen''s good luck will last?


    Just thinking about it, I heard a sound of footwork, and then a beautiful young woman appeared at the door, "Dear Guest welcome the door, I''m sorry I didn''t welcome you personally, I''m neglecting you." Said low body line a gift. At a glance, Granny Chang saw the red gold silk Chaoyang five phoenixes holding the Baofeng hairpin on each other''s head. The gold phoenixes were very lifelike. Among them, the gold phoenixes held a string of colorful gems the size of rice grains in their mouth and dropped to their forehead. A ruby the size of a lotus seed fell from the bottom of their head. The color of the gem is clear, even in the room where the light is not so bright. Granny Chang''s eyes were red and she forgot to return the gift for a while. Leisurely thought that if you go on this week, the other party should have something to say. After all, it''s the other party who comes to the door without a post. I didn''t expect that the other party would sit there like that, motionless.


    Ouch, those who come are not good!


    Although don''t know each other''s intention, but leisurely at the moment will have a good treat each other''s mind scattered. She has never been a soft persimmon, see each other take big, after the ceremony, stand up to the main seat. Then straight to the point, he asked, "I don''t know why Chang Ru came here today?" This sounds polite, but it is full of life, because only women who are not close to each other will directly address each other''s Gaoming level. Otherwise, with Chang Bo''s and Shen Ze''s hometown feelings, leisurely how also want to say "sister-in-law".


    At this time, Granny Chang has come back to herself. She is not stupid, so she naturally hears the estrangement from each other. But the purpose that she came here today was not good, and she couldn''t care about it now. PI xiaorou said without a smile, "you can''t do what you want. I came here today to ask for justice from Mrs. Shen!"


    Smell speech, leisurely frown "don''t know Chang Ru person this words from where?"


    Granny Chang hummed coldly, "where to start? I think Shen Tongling didn''t tell Mrs. Shen when she came back. Yesterday, Shen Tongling insulted my cousin after drinking and having sex in our house. Afterwards, she left without saying a word! Although our family is a small family, which can''t compare with the prestige of the top three members of your family, my cousin is also the innocent daughter of a good family. Now she has suffered such a thing. How can she meet people in the future? Is that Shen Tongling doesn''t speak? Shouldn''t Mrs. Shen give us an explanation? " As soon as her voice fell, the "cousin" behind her began to cry. She really felt sorry for her.

 Chapter 207

    It''s a pity that leisurely is not a man and won''t like this style. As for what grandma Chang said, she didn''t believe a word. Although it is possible for a man to have a promiscuous sex after drinking, can''t she be aware that a man is cheating outside? Besides, the "cousin" brought by granny Chang doesn''t look like a good woman. Her mind instantly turned a thousand times, and then calmly asked, "Chang Ru people say this, what evidence can you have? It''s nothing for a man to taste something fresh outside, and I''m not the one who will only be jealous. But can''t a woman come over and cry a few times casually, I will make the decision for her, right? I can''t say that my uncle hasn''t even seen this man! "


    Granny Chang thought that a young daughter-in-law like leisurely always had a good relationship with her husband, but she didn''t have her mother-in-law''s advice. She was panicked when she met her husband. I''ll leave people here when she''s flustered, and then I''ll leave. She had done it before, but later, even if the couple found it was wrong after a confrontation, could they send it back?


    I didn''t expect that leisurely was not old enough to be so calm. Leisurely didn''t play according to the common sense, Granny Chang was also a little flustered, but she quickly stabilized her mind and replied, "what certificate do you want for this kind of thing? Do not do, want to come to your uncle must know. If not, can I rely on your family? "


    After listening to this, leisurely lips pulled out a sneer, "I think the girl who Chang Ru brought is not like a decent woman, but like the style of Yangzhou lean horse. Since Chang Ru has such a cousin who looks like a thin horse, it''s expected that he will do something else! "


    After hearing this, Granny Chang got up, patted the table and said, "Mrs. Shen, even if she''s a little higher, can''t speak out. Who do you think is like a thin horse? I don''t think it''s the end of your family''s humiliation. " With that, he took people away. Seeing that other people have seen through it, it''s also asking for trouble to stay here. I''d better go home first and then make plans. I didn''t expect Mrs. Shen to look at Wen Wen quietly and speak so harshly. She just swears without dirty words.


    However, Granny Chang was even more embarrassed. As soon as she came out of the hall, she heard the sound of broken porcelain. Then she saw a maid standing by leisurely standing there with her waist pinched and said, "granny said that no matter how to clean the things used by bitches, she just threw them away. It''s a pity that this sweet white glazed teacup. And you, hurry to bring some boiling water to clean the room and eliminate the dirty air. "


    After hearing this, Granny Chang was very angry, but she knew that it was on the other people''s door again. Now she didn''t do more theory and went straight home.


    Leisurely, Huizi has nothing to do. She feels that it''s not so simple. She calls him to take charge of the affairs and asks him to go to the imperial army to tell Shen Ze about today''s affairs in detail. She can''t let people take advantage of it.


    Shen Ze received the news from his family and frowned slightly. He was concerned about the friendship between his classmates and his hometown. He didn''t want to make a fuss about it, but he didn''t expect that the other side would show no mercy. His wife, however, was so weak that she was left behind. I''m afraid that he could not help but bear the reputation of having a bad virtue. If there is another impeachment of the censor, it will be difficult for him to do his job? Thinking of the news that he asked people to check and talk about during the day, Chang Bo''s wife is the younger sister of his mother''s family. I''m afraid the king of Chu is indispensable. No, the Duke of Chu is behind. Hum, we''ve all gone to guard the imperial mausoleum, and it''s still going on! I don''t know what''s in his way, so I calculate myself again and again!


    In the evening, Shen Ze came back very late. Leisurely worried about it. He didn''t eat much dinner until he came back.


    Seeing her worried appearance, Shen Ze patted her hand and said with a smile, "it''s OK. It''s already dealt with. Don''t worry."


    Leisurely asked, "what''s going on? Isn''t that Mr. Chang your classmate? How can I pour such dirty water on you? "


    How do you know that he is splashing dirty water? Didn''t you expect it to be true? " Leisurely white he looked, "I don''t know who you are? If I don''t believe you, can I trust an outsider? " After hearing this, Shen Ze was very moved. He reached out and took leisurely to his arms and rubbed her hair for a long time. Shen Ze didn''t expect that his former classmates and friends would become so different now, but no matter for himself or for the reputation of the Shen family, he couldn''t easily let Chang Bo go. No matter Chang Bo and his wife or Chang Da''s mother''s family, they are all pigtails, but they still want to count others. Maybe it''s because the people they used to deal with are very shallow, so they can easily succeed, which also encourages their arrogance. Chang Bo forgets that his classmate is no longer the lonely boy whose parents died when he was in school. Now Shen Ze is a top three in power. In those years of Frontier war, his hands were stained with blood.


    It''s almost a moment. One second, Chang Bo was still working in the Yamen. The next second, he was arrested by the officers and soldiers who came down from the sky. He was charged with bribery, forcing good people to be prostitutes, soliciting lawsuits, releasing money in private, seizing good land and so on. Even his family was copied. Not to mention anything else, his family''s many singers and thin horses are very eye-catching, as well as a thick pile of money. Chang Bo is also tough. Seeing that the trend is over, he thinks of his son who was born to him in the outer room of his hometown. For fear that he will bring trouble to his family, he has to bite his teeth and bear all the blame. He had calculated many people in the past. Although most of them were petty officials, who had no relatives? In the past, because his wife had some problems with the king of Chu''s family, everyone just swallowed up. Now that someone has moved his hand, the king of Chu has been demoted to the imperial mausoleum. Naturally, he has fallen to the bottom of the well. He didn''t have to report to the emperor, so the Shan Dali temple can do it. As a result, Chang Bo was soon sentenced. Both his wife and his wife were exiled to ninguta, and their children and family members were not enslaved.


    Even granny Chang''s mother''s family has been implicated because of this. The officials in the family are basically not impeached, but they are demoted. They are busy for a while, and even their daughter is sentenced to exile.


    Chang Bo thinks that he and his illegitimate son in his hometown can always be saved, but he doesn''t know that when he has an accident in Beijing, he takes his son to his lover. This son is not his child at all, but it''s a game made by the outside room and the lover. Poor Chang Bo gave all his private houses to this outer room. He didn''t have any money to do some errands. At last, he died in exile.


    Shen Ze dealt with the whole matter cleanly, and the dust settled without giving people a chance to refute. Many ghosts and monsters hidden in the dark were shocked. In a short period of time, no one gave out any moths.

 Chapter 208

    Even the Duke of Chu, who is far away from the imperial mausoleum, is also angry that Chang Bo can''t do anything. His original intention is to let Chang Bo win over Shen Ze by virtue of his old identity as a classmate. After all, Shen Ze is now a man trusted by his father and holds great power. He can''t win over for a while and there''s no need to do so! Shen Ze will surely think that he let Chang Bo do it. Now, Shen Ze is afraid that he really has a bad relationship with him! If in the past, the Duke of Chu didn''t care much about these things, but now it''s just worse for him! However, the Duke of Chu had been deployed in the court for many years, but he still had a group of loyal subordinates. For a while, these people did not have the momentum to change their owners, and the Duke of Chu was still stable.


    After that, in September, the palace draft officially began. A month later, a few talented people and low rank concubines such as elected servants were newly recruited in the palace. One or two concubines came into the prince''s palace, and the sixth prince was old enough to get married. Emperor Longde pointed out the daughter of the Imperial Academy to be his imperial concubine. When Longde emperor thought of his fifth son''s body, he always felt that he owed him. He suddenly chose three beauties who were different from Shen Tian''s style and gave them to him as side concubines. All of a sudden, the number of side concubines in King Liang''s mansion was full. There was an extra Liangyuan and an elected servant in the eastern palace. Even the three princes who were guarding the mausoleum were divided into two women. Therefore, none of the sisters in law had the heart to laugh at others. When they met each other, they all had a feeling of sympathy.


    Although Shen Tian had been prepared for this event, he did not expect that his Majesty would "love" the king of Liang so much that he suddenly stuffed three side concubines. Among them, Xiang Wenlan, the daughter of Xiang Xianmin, the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs, had the best family background. Her grandfather once served as a minister of rites, but it was said that her family background was outstanding. It is said that I am a well-known lady in Beijing who is dignified and elegant. In fact, at the beginning, Meng once fell in love with her, but he was ambitious to the adult husband and wife. Although Han Jin''s father was his boss, he also declined the marriage. Xiang Xianmin thought that with his family background, his daughter would not be able to marry the prince and enter the east palace. Now the eastern palace is in a stable position, and the prince''s son is weak. Even if her daughter wants to be a woman, she will have a chance to fight in the future. Now he is the side concubine of the king of Liang. Although the king of Liang is good, he has no chance with you... The imperial edict has been issued. No matter how upset and depressed he is, he has to make a happy appearance for his daughter to get married.


    In addition to Xiang, there is also Tang Yaqiu, whose grandfather is Taichang Temple Minister of the fourth grade. Another side princess Zhi Xi, is the half sister of Princess Zhou, a famous talented woman in Beijing.


    With the imperial edict, Shen Tian asked people to clean up the three courtyards and prepare to welcome the three side imperial concubines into the house. Although they were side imperial concubines, the royal family would give them some rewards, but they did not marry the imperial concubine, let alone the prince. As for the time to enter the mansion, Shen Tian and Liang Wang discussed it. If they do it separately, it''s really troublesome. Why don''t they marry together. The king of Liang had no objection to this. Although he was surprised that he valued his father so much, he still respected Shen Tian very much. Seeing that Shen Tian was going to take care of these things just after his birth, he laughed and said, "it''s the side concubine, but it''s just concubines. You can leave everything to your servants. Just relax and look at your face. I''m tired of you for them, but I''ll feel sorry for you. "


    Shen Tian gently replied, "the Lord trusts me so much. I have to do things well. I can''t lose the dignity of the palace. It''s just that when there are new people, the Lord can''t forget the old ones. " Liang Wang frowned, "what do you mean?" Shen Tian angrily glanced at him and said, "people have painstakingly given birth to a son to Wang Ye. Now they don''t even have a formal title. Wang Ye is really cruel!"


    Liang Wang then said with a smile, "Oh, you''re talking about the Liu family. These days, the house of internal affairs is busy with the selection and marriage, but they''ve forgotten them. It''s just a common son. How can it be more precious than your own son? "


    Shen Tian poured a cup of tea in person and handed it to the king of Liang. "Even so, it''s not easy to treat them lightly in the face of the two CHILDES. Although she was also born as a palace maid, Liu had passed the Ming Road after all. Why don''t you formally apply to the house of internal affairs and give her the name of a respectful person? As for Tian Niang Zi, I originally promoted her to be a concubine. This time I will be promoted to Niang Zi. " Liang Wang nodded, "you can say such a small thing."


    The house of internal affairs was king Liang''s own place, which naturally became a matter soon. The Ministry of rites came to announce the order to Liu Niangzi, and Shen Tian sent someone to reward her with some things, and then changed her courtyard to add a new hand. Liu Gongren looks at his freckled cheeks in the mirror because he is pregnant. He thinks that Wang Ye has only been here once since the birth. After looking at the baby, he says a few words across the window and leaves. I haven''t found myself since I was born. I think I must have left myself behind. Immediately in the mansion again want to enter three side imperial concubines that the emperor personally bestows, at that time afraid is to have no oneself Niang''s foothold. Outside the house, there are a lot of servant girls and old women who come to congratulate them. A few days ago, they were still lonely here. She is just a servant girl. She has a shallow foundation and has little money in her hand. Although the Lord has given her some jewelry materials, they are not easy to sell. The servants in the palace are not rich and noble, and their own monthly rules are enough to manage the daily life. If it wasn''t for the princess''s reward of some silver during the confinement, I''m afraid she didn''t even have the money to reward the eunuch today. Cuiyan, who once served the LORD with her, heard that the LORD had given her a bodyguard as a concubine. If you''re not pregnant, will you end up in that situation? Fortunately, at the beginning, she passed the Ming Road in front of the princess, and the princess also gave her dignity. If you don''t obey the rules like Tian Ying, now I''m afraid I''ll be the same as her. I can only be the last lady. I can''t even go up the genealogy. She reached out to touch her son''s warm face, and saw that the prince was not reliable. In the future, she could only learn from Princess Feng and serve the princess wholeheartedly, hoping to earn a living for herself and her children.


    Since this year is the so-called year of widows, it''s not lucky to have a wedding. Although she doesn''t pay so much attention to concubines, Shen Tian still tries to be safe. So he asked qintianjian to help him choose a good day in April next year, and the three concubines were incorporated into the palace.


    In the palace, the empress also teased the emperor about the incident. "If the emperor''s marriage continues, the Ministry of rites and the house of internal affairs will be busy next year." Long de Di a hearty smile "let them busy or, the province of the whole day idle nothing to do."

 Chapter 209

    Empress Meng said with a smile, "the emperor is kind to one but not to the other this time. How can he only point out the marriage to the prince and the imperial family? There are still three princesses waiting in the palace!"


    Longde Di was surprised and asked, "isn''t it only le Yi and Le Hui who are old? I have music in my heart. Who else is there? "


    Queen Meng said, "the emperor only remembers his daughter. How can he forget his sister. Princess Jingrou, the youngest daughter of the former Emperor, is 18 years old this year. The Empress Dowager''s body has not been refreshing. But Xu taizhaoyi has been here many times. After all, she''s the emperor''s younger sister. She has to find a good place for her so that she can give an account to the emperor. "


    He felt his beard and said, "I can''t see her on weekdays. If you don''t tell me, I forget that there is such a little sister. I''ll think about it again."


    Empress Meng then asked, "Princess Lehui is OK. I don''t have to worry about everything if her mother''s concubine is watching. It''s Le Yi, but the emperor''s only daughter. The Empress Dowager talked about it two days ago. "


    Hearing the speech, Emperor Longde said, "I heard that Cheng en Gong and his wife had entered the palace several times. Both inside and outside the words, they meant to let their grandson advocate the Lord."


    After a meal, empress Meng said, "Your Majesty knows that Cheng en Gong is not the next brother of his mother after all. His family only wants to uphold the Lord for the sake of succeeding to many titles in the future. But, in my opinion, my mother is not very happy about it. "


    Emperor Longde snorted coldly, "when my mother was at home, she was very much influenced by my stepmother. If it wasn''t for their contribution to me, I wouldn''t let them attack this generation more. Now I want to gain an inch. I really want to be beautiful!"


    Empress Meng quickly appeased the Emperor: "it''s all old things. Why should the emperor be angry. When it comes to the Empress Dowager''s family, although the Empress Dowager does not have a brother, the old lady of an Guogong is the emperor''s aunt. An Guogong is also an old family. Today''s son is still progressive. It''s said that he has passed the martial arts examination. The emperor might as well marry down a princess, which is also to comfort the Empress Dowager. "


    When I was a prince, my aunt and uncle really helped me a lot. I always want to make up for it, but my cousin is not in good health and can''t be an official in the court. I just want to give him more. My cousin''s child was born late. I''ve only seen it once or twice. I''m not impressed. I don''t know how I feel? " Don''t be as frail as your uncle.


    Empress Meng said with a smile, "since the child can pass the martial arts examination, he must be in good health. If the emperor is not at ease, will he see for himself? "


    So the next day, Emperor Longde summoned Prince an and saw that he was born with a sword eyebrow, star eyes and a strong body. First, he let down his heart and asked a few questions. Although he didn''t talk much, he was very satisfied with his point. He also asked him what he does in his daily life. He answered that because his parents are not in good health, he has been serving his parents at home and dealing with common affairs at home.


    What a filial child! Hearing this, Lund Di is more satisfied. Why didn''t such a good child notice before? In private, lundeti asked people to visit him again. He felt that there was no problem with the child, so he decided to point out his own daughter, Princess Leyi, to him. Then she gave two imperial edicts one after another, pointing out the marriage of Princess Lehui to Han Jin, while Princess Jingrou pointed out the marriage to Feng Kaixuan, the eldest son of Ding''an.


    After receiving the imperial edict, the Han family was overjoyed. Meng never thought that his son could be the son-in-law of the emperor. Even though Princess Lehui was not as valuable as Princess Leyi, she was also a serious man. Moreover, Princess Lehui''s biological mother is the most gentle and quiet concubine who serves the emperor when she is in the underground residence. There is no need to worry about her daughter''s temperament.


    Got this news, leisurely and busy prepared a gift, took to Changping Marquis house. After meeting Meng, he congratulated Haosheng and said with a smile, "my mother used to worry about Jindi''s marriage, but now she''s worried, isn''t she?"


    Rao is used to Meng''s steadiness, and he is also pleased with the good news, isn''t he? I didn''t expect that jin''er still had this fortune! " After a while, Han also came by car. When he saw you, he said with a smile, "you girl, don''t ask me to join you." Leisurely smile "I have something to delay for a while, it''s late to go out, I thought my aunt had already come." Han said with a smile, "as soon as I was ready to go out, I received a message from Ying''s sister who came back from Shandong, saying that she was born with a big fat boy on the third day of September, and that both mother and son were safe. It''s a delay, or I''ll be here early. "


    On hearing this, everyone came to congratulate him. Meng said with a smile, "this is really a great joy. I remember that sister Lian has been pregnant for more than half a year. You children are blessed. I''ll back up my things later. When you leave, you''ll take them with you and send them with you. It''s also my aunt''s intention. "


    "I will never be polite to my sister-in-law again," Han said with a smile


    After a while, some relatives came to celebrate. Leisurely, they had to help their adoptive mother entertain the guests for a day, and they didn''t go home until dark. When she got home, she didn''t care to have a rest. She quickly asked people to find out a set of exquisite long-life locks and bracelets, ankles, nine rings made of sapphire, a ten-year-old red ginseng, two pieces of high-quality Songjiang cloth suitable for children''s clothes, and two pieces of Yun Brocade for Shen Ying. A total of four kinds of gifts were sent to the government, and the Tuohan family brought them to Shen Ying. Shen Ying, who is still in confinement, saw that her mother sent Qi''s mother to come to see her from a long distance, and she also brought a lot of things. In addition to the children, most of them are tonics and medicines for her body, as well as various kinds of clothing materials. The depression caused by her mother-in-law''s style was instantly healed, and now she was crying with joy.


    Qi''s mother comforted her by saying, "take care of your second aunt. It''s not like this in the confinement. The old slave was appointed by his wife to see the girl. If she hurt her eyes, it''s the old slave''s fault. "


    Shen Yinghao stopped tears easily and said with a smile, "I''m glad to see my mother. How is father and mother? And brother Hong, it''s time to enlighten now, isn''t it? The eldest sister should have been born. How is sister Lian? "


    Qi''s mother said with a smile, "well, everything is fine at home. The second aunt can rest assured. It''s just that the old slave''s look is not very good when he looks at his aunt. Has he been wronged? "

 Chapter 210

    Not to mention this stubble is good, a mention of this, Shen Ying''s eyes instantly red up, she turned her head, no words. Although she is a strong-minded woman, she has never stopped since she was pregnant. Even though she is struggling to support herself, she is only for the outside. Now I see my mother''s family. For a moment, I just feel aggrieved and can''t speak. Bi Yue, Shen Ying''s servant girl, said, "Mom doesn''t know. Our girl has been wronged this time. The old lady in the family wanted to concubine her uncle while the girl was pregnant several times. Fortunately, my uncle was a good one and didn''t respond to this. However, green Ling''s paw, even when the girl is pregnant, can''t go to the same room with my uncle to seduce him. She was pregnant for two months. If it hadn''t happened, the girl wouldn''t have started ten days in advance. "


    Qi''s mother was surprised and said, "is there anything else? The woman who sent the letter only said that her aunt, mother and son were safe, and that the child was born a few days earlier. The wife and the old slave never doubted about it again. They didn''t expect that there was such a secret in it! Where is the girl green Ling now? "


    Shen Lian''s meeting slowed down and said in a low voice, "I''m too lazy to deal with these people and things. I shut her up in the back yard. I want to wait until I''m out of the month to raise my body."


    Qi''s mother nodded, "my aunt is very right. I let her be pregnant for a few months. Even if she was born, the things in her stomach are less than one tenth of the gold of my aunt. She is just our slave. She dares to betray the Lord, even if she is killed. Now I just don''t know what my uncle''s attitude is? "


    Shen Lian said, "my mother is right. If it wasn''t for the fear that this bitch would affect the relationship between my husband and me, I would have taken care of her long ago." In her eyes, Shen Lian didn''t care about her husband.


    Bi Yue pursed her lips and said, "if you really miss your girl, how can you do such a thing when she is pregnant? Do you always let the girl let the old lady on weekdays? I think the girl is too soft-hearted... "Before she lost her voice, she was interrupted by Qiao Yun who just came in with a tea tray." OK, you can say less! You can arrange it, too, uncle? Girl, I''m worried about this. If you don''t talk about it, why are you still adding fuel to the fire here? " Then he put down the tea tray, and personally took the cup to Qi''s hands. "Mom, come here to work hard, first drink tea to moisten your throat. Although this tea is not as fine as the tea in Beijing, it comes from the foot of Laoshan Mountain, the holy land of Taoism. It always has some merits. "


    Qi''s mother took the cup and sipped it. She said, "it''s not the same taste as southern tea. It''s more mellow. It''s quite to my old lady''s taste. I always feel that the tea in my house is tasteless. "


    Shen Lian chuckled on the bed and said, "if mom likes it, take a few cans with her when she leaves." Then he asked Qiaoyun, "is it all arranged in the kitchen?" Qiao Yun should say, "everything is arranged properly. The maid is here to invite her mother to the front for dinner." Shen Ying then said with a smile, "it''s hard work all the way. Mom''s better go to dinner first. These things can''t be dealt with in a short time. "


    Qi''s mother pondered, "this idea is also worth my aunt''s too much effort. Just take care of your health. If you want to live here for a few days, you can have a long-term plan."


    Shen Lian light smile "mother said is, days are still long, you old fast to eat." So Qi''s mother followed Qiaoyun to have a meal.


    Qi''s mother knew that Shen Lian paid more attention to Qiaoyun than Biyue, who was a little bit lively. So on the way, she asked, "with the temperament and temperament of the third aunt, things can''t be so bad." As Qiao Yun helped Qi''s mother to step several steps, he said in a low voice, "mother doesn''t have to worry. The girl knows. She didn''t pay attention to these before, but she didn''t want to get angry. As the girl said, it''s not easy to go out when you have your own body. It''s boring to stay at home all day. It''s just fun to watch. If mom doesn''t come, the girl will get rid of those troubles sooner or later. "


    Hearing this, Qi''s mother was relieved. "I knew that the three girls had always been somewhat rigid, and they would not be so angry in vain." Shen Lian holds all the contracts of Manshu''s servants. If she can''t hold even a servant girl, Shen Lian is also sorry for Han''s advice to her in the past two years.


    Now that she''s here, even for the sake of face, mother Qi is going to greet Mrs. Zheng. However, after two years of being a feudal monarch, Mrs. Zheng felt superior. She didn''t even see her mother Qi. Qi''s mother was not angry either. With a faint smile, she asked someone to pass the things she had brought to Mrs. Zheng''s servant girl and left. But Zheng Xuewen came back from the Yamen and asked his mother to apologize for her rudeness and green Ling. Qi''s mother seems to accept Zheng Xuewen''s apology in fear. She turns her head, but shows a sneer at his back. She doesn''t know what the world is like! Shen Lian was born in a few days. Although Zheng Xuewen is the order of a county, he did not expect that so many distinguished guests came to his eldest son''s full moon banquet. Needless to say, the officials and squires of this county, even the big families far away from the city, could not come to them personally, and they were all given heavy gifts. The magistrate''s wife came in person with a big gift. Zheng Xuewen thought it was because of his ability as an official, but when he saw that these people gave him a gift, he turned around and gave a more valuable gift to Qi''s mother. Especially when I heard my mother complain to me afterwards that all the official wives didn''t talk to her and turned to fengchengqi''s mother, I couldn''t help but worry that I seem to be overjoyed these days. I forget how powerful my daughter-in-law''s family is. I''d better have a cage for my daughter-in-law.


    Thinking of this, Zheng Xuewen comforted Mrs. Zheng in a few words and turned to Shen Lian''s house. Shen Lian is sitting on the Kang with her maid, sorting out the gifts she received these days, and registering them one by one. Seeing Zheng Xuewen coming, Shen Lian said faintly, "the master is coming. Unfortunately, I''m in a hurry here. Please help yourself." Finish saying to also ignore him, just and Qiao cloud continue to arrange things. Zheng Xuewen knew that it must have been green Ling''s affair some time ago that annoyed her, but he didn''t get angry. He went to the room beside him to amuse his son in the cradle.


    Seeing this, Shen Lian sneered in her heart. If it wasn''t for her son''s sake, my aunt would rather be a widow than suffer the leisure of your mother and son! But she said to Qiaoyun, "mother Qi said that the elder sister gave birth to a boy this time, and the gift to the elder sister should be thickened." Qiao Yunying said, "after receiving the letter from Jingli last time, I prepared something for the princess and the young master. This time, I will add some local products and other things." Shen Lian nodded, "you always do things carefully, I am at ease." Then he pointed to a brocade box on the table and said, "who sent this? Why did you send a fan at this time of year? "

 Chapter 211

    Qiao Yun said with a smile, "this is from granny Ze. She said it was given by the queen in the summer. She specially left one for you. The gift from Grandma Zeda is very thick. She gave this longevity lock and nine links. And these two pieces of brocade are just the colors that girls like. Since I arrived in Shandong, I have never seen Yunjin again! "


    Shen Lian said with a smile, "we don''t have it here. It doesn''t mean there isn''t one in Fucheng. I saw it when I went back. However, the things in this city are a little worse than those in the capital. My sister-in-law is very careful. She remembers that I don''t have any fresh materials to wear here. " Qiaoyun seems to understand Shen Lian''s meaning and says, "it''s not only granny Ze who cares about the girl, but also the cloth that the lady sent to her. There are also Shu Brocade sent by my uncle and wife, Gong Xun and Zhu Chai sent by the princess, hang silk sent by my second aunt, and Gong Hua sent by my cousin. Which of them does not care about the girl? " Shen Lian nodded her head. "You''re poor. I don''t know that? By the way, I see that my cousin has given me a lot of palace flowers. Take some to share with Biyue. "


    Qiao Yun quickly thanks "since the girl is so generous, the maidservant is not polite. There are so many girls here. Why don''t you give me two for each of them? " Shen Lian sneered, "it''s not like I didn''t get the Palace Flower before. How come I''m so excited now!" Qiao Yun said, "looking at the delicate appearance of these palace flowers, I feel that they are for the ladies in the palace, not for those who can compare before. The Empress Dowager or empress dowager must have given it to the girl. Now, thanks to the girl and the watch girl, we can also wear the things in the palace. By the way, the maidservant just remembered something. Even the Kong family in Qufu sent people to send gifts for the girl to give birth this time. "


    Hearing this, Shen Lian said, "it''s reasonable that cousin Jane married a girl from the Kong family. Our two families are serious in laws. As relatives, it''s also right to walk around each other. When Kong Shizi and the princess get married, we will give them a big gift. "


    These words, though intermittently, floated into Zheng Xuewen''s ears word by word. He grasped the book''s fingers unconsciously and began to whiten his knuckles. In the heart does not live in scolds own shortsightedness, initially how because greedy that momentary joy but makes such matter? Baibairao''s wife doesn''t want to, and she offends Qi''s mother because she loves her. But forget their future, want to prosper also need to be promoted in law, how can this be good?


    Think of the green silk in the backyard, now I really think it''s a disaster! I should have dealt with her before my wife found out all this. I blame myself for being soft hearted after listening to my mother''s words, leaving such a disaster! If you really let her have a baby safely, not to mention the wife is not happy, the Shen family is certainly not happy. If people want to help, they will only help their own grandchildren. For a while, Zheng Xuewen was fighting a battle between heaven and man. Finally, his desire for power made him make a decision. He stood up and said to Shen Lian, "I just remember that there are still some business affairs that I haven''t dealt with. I''ll come back later to have dinner with you." Then he went out.


    When Zheng Xuewen came to the yard with green Ling closed, she was quarreling with the old lady who was guarding the yard through the door and window. Her vulgarity and shrewdness were not much better than those country women. Seeing this, Zheng Xuewen frowned and strengthened his determination. He asked the housekeeper to open the door, but she hesitated and opened it. Zheng Xuewen let her go down, he went into the house. This is a small courtyard with only two small West rooms. Green Ling saw him coming from the window. She stopped yelling and cut her dress and hair with her hands. She changed into a charming and gentle way and said, "master, you''re here. I don''t know what the rules are when my wife locks me up here? I''m not afraid to suffer some wrongs. I''m afraid that the child in my stomach can''t suffer. "


    But Zheng Xuewen just saw her rough and pungent side, but refused to eat this set, and she was locked here for several days without cleaning, unkempt. How can you be charming in the past? Green Ling finally met her lover and was about to cry a few words when she saw Zheng Xuewen coldly say, "since this child can''t bear hardships, he must be a poor one. Even if he was born, he was just a waste of money and food. I''d better take care of him earlier." With that, wave your right hand. After hearing this, green Ling suddenly opened her eyes and was still a little stunned. The two guys behind Zheng Xuewen immediately came forward and grabbed green Ling''s hands. Maybe she was still hesitant, so she didn''t exert herself very hard. Green Ling suddenly broke away, and her face was scratched by her. She said, "what are you, dare you touch me?"


    Seeing her like this, Zheng Xuewen said, "be quick and don''t dawdle. I''ll go to dinner with my wife later." He felt his cheek scratched by green Ling''s nails. He was annoyed. He heard Zheng Xuewen''s words and knew that the servant girl was abandoned by the master. At the moment, he cuts back green Ling''s hand behind him. The other guy holds green Ling''s jaw in one hand and pours a bowl of fetal medicine into green Ling''s mouth with the other hand. Seeing the look of master Zheng Xuewen''s servant, green Ling knew that the decoction was not a good thing. She struggled desperately, shaking her head and refusing to drink it. Although some of the decoction was spilled, it was still poured into most of the bowl. Seeing this, Zheng Xuewen frowned, "spilled so much, still have effect?" "Don''t worry, master. The doctor said that one mouthful of this medicine will be effective. If you drink so much, it will be no problem." Sure enough, after a while, green Ling was holding her stomach and wailing, and then Yan Red''s blood came out from under her skirt.


    Zheng Xuewen was relieved and said, "find a dentist and sell her far away." Then he took the boy out of the yard. But their master and servant did not see the housekeeper who should have left long ago. She had been hiding in the corner outside the door and witnessed all this. Seeing that they have gone far away, they flash into the room. Seeing green Ling lying in a pool of blood, they are also surprised. They go to the front yard and tell Shen Lian about it.


    After hearing the news, Shen Lian didn''t say anything for a long time. She didn''t expect that Zheng Xuewen was really so cruel and could do anything for her own flesh and blood. She just wanted to say that she didn''t need to pay attention. Suddenly, she heard her son''s crying in the compartment and sighed, "it''s just a blessing for Xing Ge''er. Take her outside, find a doctor to show her, and then send her to the village. Let her take away her usual self. Qiaoyun, if you do it yourself, you don''t have to let the master know. " Although green Ling is hateful, it''s not her who started it. If Zheng Xuewen really doesn''t want to, green Ling, a weak woman, can be strong on him? Although green Ling is wrong, she is not guilty to death. To say that you are confused and seduced is just a rogue who shirks responsibility and takes advantage but is not willing to admit it. If Zheng Xuewen could take this matter down, Shen Lian would respect him as a man who is brave enough to do it! Now, Shen Lian really looks down on him, but at the same time, she has a deep guard. Now in order to take advantage of his mother''s power, he can get rid of his own flesh and blood. In the future, if something happens to your mother''s family, what will be waiting for you? Thinking of this, Shen Lian shivered

 Chapter 212

    However, what surprised her even more was that after two days, the old lady suddenly felt numb. When the doctor was invited, the doctor said after he finished his pulse that "the old lady has had a stroke. I''m afraid it''s difficult to recover in the future. I can only take good care of her."


    When Qi''s mother was ready to go back to Beijing, green Ling was said to have been sold far away. Even Mrs. Zheng was lost in her mind because of a mouthful of phlegm. Unfortunately, she suffered from the disease of partial dryness. Half of her body could not move, so she had to lie on the bed to be served. Mother Qi thought Shen Lian was the one who moved her hand. In private, she advised her to deal with Lvling. After all, the old lady was my uncle''s biological mother. She had done too much, and my uncle would not be happy.


    Who knows Shen Lian is wry to smile to shake head a way "I am again have no brain, also won''t so blatantly harm his mother.". Even I didn''t do the green Ling thing. " She did not expect that this person even his mother also under the hand, I really look down on him¡° What, not a girl? Then who else in this mansion can do this? Is it Qi''s mother asked in surprise.


    Shen Lian said with a bitter smile, "my father really didn''t see the wrong person. He really knows how to make progress, but he is too cruel. When mother goes back, she might as well tell her father and mother all these things, and always let them have a bottom in their heart. " Qi mother naturally should come down, Rao is her these years see more privacy means, is also surprised by this.


    When Qi''s mother left, Qiaoyun asked with some worry, "is it not good to let his wife and master know about these things?"


    Shen Lian shook her head. "There''s nothing wrong. The most terrible thing in the world is never a real villain. It''s this kind of hypocrite who looks polite. It''s better to let her father and mother know what he really looks like before making plans." In the past, she still thought that she was the original couple, but now she has a son. In the future, as long as she is careful, she is afraid that she can''t get him back? Up to now, Shen Lian has stopped thinking. The hardness of this person''s heart will only make her afraid. She will only care about her son in the future.


    A few days later, leisurely received a return gift from Shen Lian. There are a large package of good donkey hide gelatin and Salvia miltiorrhiza, a pair of glass cups, a piece of red silk inkstone unique to Shandong and a box of pearl ornaments of different sizes. Leisurely picked out a few pearl rings from the inside to distribute to the side of a few servant girls, picked a few eye-catching on the dresser on the make-up box to keep their own wear, the rest picked a few good, together with donkey hide gelatin and other things wrapped, personally returned to her mother''s home. She chose a pearl collar with the size of a finger belly and gave it to Zhuang Shu. "I heard that you have a bad look recently. Pearls are the most tranquilizing. We usually use pearls for inlaying in the capital. Naturally, the tranquilizing effect is not as good as this pure string of pearls. Although this string is not the largest, it''s round and neat. You can wear it everyday at home. " Zhuang Shu said with a smile, "my sister is polite. One or two of these beads are not rare, but it''s rare for this collar to use so many beads of the same size and shape. Thank you for remembering me."


    In October, before Yutan got married, another big happy thing happened. Fangxinsu was pregnant. After getting the news, leisurely immediately asked people to prepare something and went to Rongjun palace. Su RI leisurely always feels that Fang Xinsu has the temperament of not eating people''s fireworks, just like the immortals in the sky. Although he is noble and elegant, he always feels that there is something between him that is not so real. Now, as soon as I saw her, I felt that she had a few more threads of smoke on her body. Instead, it seemed real. Leisurely met her and said with a smile, "no wonder you don''t go to us these days. I thought it offended you. Why don''t you come to our house? I didn''t expect you to keep the baby at home. "


    Fang Xinsu''s weak smile "I don''t want to hide it from you, but I have a bad look. Zhang''s mother said that the first three months of March, when she knew more people, it was bad for her children, so she didn''t tell her. I didn''t even tell my big cousin." Clapping her hand leisurely, "I know this naturally. It''s just for nothing. How do you feel now? Are you feeling better? Do you have anything special to eat? "


    Fang Xinsu replied, "it wasn''t very good a few days ago. I''ve just got better these days. If I can have some porridge soup and some fruit, I can''t smell the meat."


    Leisurely nod "this is normal, you are now double body, as long as it is not a special taboo on their own stomach, want to eat what to drink, do not lose yourself." Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "don''t worry. I''m not the one who wrongs myself." In October, the weather in the capital is already very cold. On this day, taking advantage of the good sun, people leisurely ask people to find out their own and Shen Ze''s big wool clothes and cotton padded jackets to dry. Although the sewing room is already making new clothes, some of them can still be worn in the past years, and the ones that can''t be worn can also be used by people. One of them was a big red dress with a silver fox face. He wore it leisurely twice. Later, it was a little small, and he was reluctant to give it away. Now he was generous and pointed to it and said, "this dress is small for others, so it''s cheaper for willow leaves." There was also a silver red brocade Satin Silver rat jacket and a scarlet Dorothy jacket. I forgot who gave it to her, but I didn''t give it to her. Xu is suffering from too much, in leisurely side to make up for so many years, LiuYe''s height is still slightly shorter than his peers. But she didn''t care much. She got these clothes and said with a smile, "in the past, I only wish I wasn''t tall, but now I''m very glad I''m short. Otherwise, how can I get such good clothes?" Everyone laughed at this.


    Leisurely picked out a few things that she didn''t want and gave them to the rest of the maids. Then she found out a big red star felt cloak and a peach colored silver rat lining coat. They were all brand new and no upper body. Liu Ye wrapped them up and said, "after a few days, when the new big Mao clothes are ready, I will send them to elder sister Yutan together with the two things I said." Liu Ye agreed with a smile.


    It seems to be very cold this year. By the middle of October, it will be very cold. Although it hasn''t snowed yet, if you stay outside and don''t wear big clothes, you will soon get cold hands and feet. After the big clothes in the house were finished, LiuYe sent things to Yutan according to leisurely orders. Seeing the clothes, Yutan thought that this year''s big hair clothes might be hers, but she didn''t expect leisurely to give her so much at once. She didn''t have to make big hair clothes for many years.


    Alas, master is like this, as long as it is in her eyes, she will treat you honestly.

 Chapter 213

    Jade Tan looking at oneself and dry Niang''s room put of the dowry thing full of, can''t help but feel deeply. Mother Wang became her godmother, so she had to do something for her. She also saved a lot of private houses these years, and her son died early and had no other children. In the future, she had to let Yutan provide for her. So she took out the five hundred taels of silver she had accumulated for most of her life to buy a dowry for Yutan. Yutan knew that this was the most of her life''s savings, but she refused. Later, he advised her leisurely, "now that you have worshipped mother Wang as a godmother, you will have to support her in the future. Now the old man takes out the silver to do the dowry for you, which means to be close to you. If you refuse too much, I''m afraid mother Wang will feel bad. If you want me to tell you, just let mother Wang make it known to you. It''s the same with more filial piety after you get married. " Jade sandalwood this just by Wang mother give oneself Zhang Luo, just give his own two hundred Liang silver together to Wang mother "Lao ganniang trouble."


    Yutan had saved a lot of good things in Hou''s house before, but it was a little worse in the first two years after she followed leisurely. In the past two years, her family was better, and leisurely also treated her well. Needless to say, there are several boxes full of clothes and cloth, so you don''t have to buy them at all. There are several boxes of headgear, and there are four or five hundred taels of cash. Therefore, when making dowry, Yutan specially told ganniang not to spend money on these things.


    Mother Wang looked at it once and saw that she had four or five sets of gold and silver jewelry alone, several boxes of other scattered ones, and a whole set of brand-new boxwood combs and red sandalwood combs inlaid with tinsel. The richness of these combs could catch up with Shen Xi''s mother''s dowry. At the moment, he said with a smile, "you really have a lot of things. It''s enough to wear in daily life. It''s just that since we are getting married, we have to buy some new ones. It''s better to make a set of gold and silver jewelry. I see that there are also some old colors in these. I''ll take this opportunity to take them out and let them be blasted, or I''ll melt them up and make a new pattern. " The jade sandalwood all depended on ganniang.


    Because of the urgency of the wedding date, it''s too late to buy furniture now. I have to go to the timber store to buy ready-made furniture. Mother Wang asked for the size of Zheng Quan''s house. Qi Hengshang''s house has a set of furniture in it, but it''s a little old. After hearing about it, mother Wang bought a shelf bed, a four door wardrobe, a pair of top boxes, a dressing table, a eight immortals table, chairs, toilet, clothes rack, washbasin rack, etc., all of which were red painted catalpa furniture. Although it is not as expensive as the sour branch pear tree, it is better to be practical and solid. The furniture alone cost 220 taels of silver, and the other Rouge powder, furnishings and ornaments cost 78 taels. Finally, as soon as mother Wang saw that she had more than 400 taels of silver left in her hand, she discussed with Yu Tan that it was better to buy a small shop or a small house with the money and let it out to collect some rent than to put it in Bai''s hand. It will be decent to add it to the dowry.


    A few years ago, mother Wang asked Shen Ze to help her buy a small shop for 500 taels of silver. Although the area is small, because it is close to the side door of the culture academy, she can earn 40 taels of silver every year, which is enough for her daily expenses. Now if this shop changes hands again, it will sell at least 600 Liang. The jade Tan naturally is also willing, but this shop house of a moment and a half will of also not easy to search, therefore temporarily put aside.


    Later, when Youran heard about it, she found a small house for her, which was very close to the Imperial College. Although the house is smaller, the annual rent is very considerable, so Yutan is naturally overjoyed.


    At the end of September, Zheng Quan sent the dowry. Zheng Quan followed Qi Heng for many years. Although he didn''t save much cash, he also had many good things. In addition, after the engagement, the prince of Rongjun rewarded him with 500 Liang silver and many other things, so the dowry he gave to Yutan was not small. There are two hundred and ten taels of silver ingots, two sets of gold and silver jewelry, a pair of emerald bracelets, a red gold hairpin inlaid with ruby, eight pieces of silk, two cloaks, four sets of clothes, and some tea, wine and fruit.


    There is no comparison with leisurely, but in terms of their identities, they are quite thick. Leisurely after listening to Zheng Quan''s betrothal gift, he secretly nodded. That night, people quietly carried two boxes to Yutan room. A pair of vases, a small Kang screen with Kesi and some medicinal materials and tonics are placed in one box. Another box contains a set of four treasures of study, enlightenment books and a complete set of four books and five classics, as well as four or five military books such as Sun Tzu. Although books are a little cheaper now, this box of books is more than 100 Liang silver. Jade Tan understand leisurely meaning, is to let her have children in the future after the meaning of good health training. Mother Wang was illiterate and didn''t understand leisurely''s deep meaning. She only said with a smile, "even these two empty boxes are worth it. They are made of red sandalwood. Grandma really loves you." However, on October 19, leisurely came to add a pair of red gold hairpins of magpie climbing style, a pair of red silk bracelets and two pairs of gold statues with double auspicious patterns. It is intended to show you that as long as you serve the master with heart and don''t think too much, the master will not treat you badly. Not to mention leisurely privately gave Yutan several kinds of jewelry and a silver note of one hundred Liang, and said to her, "you don''t have to belittle yourself too much after you get married. We don''t need anyone else. Just live a good life. If you have time, please go to the princess. With the protection of the princess, others dare not look down on you. This is always your mother''s home. If you are wronged, just come back. " Jade Tan red eyes agreed.


    Leisurely treats Yu Tan like this, besides thanking her for serving her all these years, she also has her own small idea. At the beginning, she just recognized Meng as her adoptive mother. When she was taken to live in the Han family, Meng gave her two second-class servant girls. But another servant girl obviously didn''t think much of her. Although she didn''t make any mistakes because of the rules of the Marquis''s house, she was not close to her from the beginning to the end. When leisurely came home later, Meng thought that he would give them both to leisurely. But the servant girl didn''t want to, and Meng didn''t force her. She turned and gave her three little servant girls to teach herself. The three little maids were Su He, Gan song and AI Xiang. They were only nine years old and the youngest AI Xiang was only six years old. Now, five or six years later, these little maids have grown into graceful maidens, and they can be independent.


    Leisurely feeling at the beginning of the jade Tan did not dislike his origin is slightly cold, shallow foundation, so now jade Tan out of the cabinet, she does not mind treating her on the dowry. She will live up to those who are kind to her!

 Chapter 214

    In addition to leisurely, Meng also let people come to appreciate a set of silver head and a pair of gold bracelets. At least they came from the Marquis''s house. Now that they can marry off as official wives, it''s also the Marquis''s house''s dignity. Lin''s mother rewarded her with twenty Liang silver and a gold hairpin. Although Shen Xi was young, he also gave her a pair of gold hairpins, a pair of gold rings and a pair of gold statues. After all, today Yutan is mother Wang''s dry daughter. Treating jade sandalwood well is also decent for mother Wang. Other little sisters also have their own makeup, mostly hairpin rings, sandals, silk and satin, and all of them are packed in a box. In the end, the dowry of jade sandalwood was as much as thirty-two. After carrying it out, it could meander for a long distance. It can''t compare with the dowry of leisurely at the beginning, but it can be counted in the servant girl.


    When he got married, Zheng Quan was wearing the official uniform of a seven grade military officer and riding a big horse. All his colleagues in the palace were with him. They were all tall and powerful, which was quite conspicuous. When people nearby heard the drum music, they had to come out to watch the excitement. LiuYe''s aunt and cousin were also in the crowd. When I saw Yu Tan''s dowry, I was really surprised.


    Next to the unknown Xu is that this is a small family''s daughter, but LiuYe''s aunt knows that the sedan chair is just a maid. No wonder people often say that "it''s better to marry everyone''s maid than a small family girl". The girl in Li Ju''s family, who was on the back street of her family, got married last year only for 20 years. In this way, everyone praised their family for being kind and loving to their daughter. Now it''s really hard to compare the two. Liu Ye''s aunt was surprised and sighed. She only thought that her niece''s dowry would be half that of Yu Tan in the future.


    Jade Tan so hot and noisy married, waiting for three dynasty back door, she came to leisurely please. Leisurely see her face ruddy, smile, you know she had a good life, also let go.


    Although this year is the year of widows, many big families avoid this, but small families are not so particular about it. Naturally, they have their own ways to deal with it. This is not, Yutan just out of the door, the second day of December is the day of flying catkins out of the pavilion. The flying catkins and light rain on the other side of the national government are old enough to get married, but in the first two years, the Han family has been too busy to make arrangements for them. This year, they have caught up with the year of the widow, so they have been delayed. After asking about themselves, Han married both Weiyu and Bai Wei to the son in charge of the house, while Feixu gave the deed to a young businessman who lost his wife. The merchant''s wife had difficulty giving birth during childbirth, so it was appropriate for her to marry without any disputes like stepson and stepdaughter.


    Leisurely always feel this thing from the inside out with a strange breath, just look at the catkins a face of joy, she does not say much. It''s just a heavy make-up when she comes out of the cabinet. Leisurely and Feixu grew up together. Feixu was one year older than her. She entered the government two years earlier than leisurely. When she was young, she took care of her, so her feelings were different. Leisurely to her make-up than to the jade sandalwood is also heavy, directly let people carry four boxes to her. Clothes, satins, jewelry, medicine, ornaments and so on are all rare. Feixu wanted to refuse, and said with a leisurely smile, "if you don''t accept it, you will be blind for so many years." See her insist on catkins just accepted.


    Since it''s in December, it''s not far away from Chinese New Year. It''s leisurely and busy. As soon as she entered the lunar new year, the women''s education program in the government stopped, thinking leisurely that Shen Xi was also a ten-year-old girl after the Spring Festival. This time, she took her with her. Do not ask her to be able to learn all of a sudden, only so influenced for a long time, a lot of things do not have to deliberately teach can be slowly integrated.


    Shen Ze''s official position is not low now, and there is an endless stream of people who come to give gifts at the end of the festival. Many people don''t have to ask Shen Ze to do something for them when they give gifts. Most of them are just routine filial piety. Leisurely here, you just need to accept the things, even the gifts don''t need to return, and the visitors will go happily. There are not many people who really need to greet leisurely, but they just need to sit in the earthquake field and save some slaves to be demons.


    It''s a rare day to have a rest. My aunt and sister-in-law are sitting on the Kang doing some needlework. Although we have bought two embroiderers to do these needlework, we still have to do some work to give to our close friends before the festival. Leisurely thinks that Shen Xixu has fully inherited the excellent genes of the Shen family. His intelligence is much better than his own. Many things are not only easy to understand, but also can be used flexibly soon. I took advantage of rebirth. The ten-year-old Huizi was not as outstanding as her. What an old child! He can not only recite poems and paint, but also act as a coquettish and cute girl. He can also make good sewing. In this meeting, Shen Xi is embroidering a bag with plum blossom pattern, which is already excellent. On the white brocade, a strong plum branch is embroidered with black and brown silk thread, and several budding plum flowers are dotted among them. From a distance, it looks like a painting, but only a few strokes show the strength of Han Mei and the artistic conception of freehand brushwork. See so lovely sister-in-law, leisurely in the heart sigh, in the future also don''t know cheap which smelly boy to go! Oh, no, this is my sister-in-law who has been raised for several years. I am reluctant to marry her in the future. If I have a daughter in the future, what should I do?


    Just as I was thinking about it, a servant girl came in and said, "if I go back to my grandmother, a mother and daughter and a young man are coming. They claim to be from the Lin village. They say they are from my grandmother''s mother''s family. They want to see my grandmother for something important."


    Leisurely frown, who will it be? Most people in Lin''s village come to their mother''s side, but few people come here directly. In spite of some doubts, I still asked people to go to the front hall. He stood up and straightened his clothes. Shen Xi also stood up and said, "sister-in-law, do you want me to come with you?" Leisurely shook his head, "no, just stay here. I''ll see what''s going on first. If I really want you to go, I''ll let someone call you." While talking, I had my hair cut on the mirror, and then I went out.


    When we got to the front hall, the visitors were already waiting here. A young man in his twenties was wandering around the room. When he saw leisurely, his eyes lit up and he called out, "cousin, I can see you." The mother and daughter, who had been sitting on the chair, both stood up quickly, their eyes full of excitement.


    Leisurely saw the visitor, surprise way "it is the old aunt and cousin, cousin to come!" Then we can see that several people''s faces are not right, and we can see that Yulian is holding a little baby in her arms, and the baby is blushing at the moment, and her stomach is very big, which is not very good. Regardless of politeness, he quickly went to Yulian, looked at the child and asked, "is this Niuniu? I remember the child was two months older than Conger. What''s the matter? "

 Chapter 215

    Seeing that the child was really bad, leisurely asked the steward to pick up the doctor who was familiar at home.


    Then he turned his head to comfort the weeping people. It seemed that the mother and the daughter were "don''t worry, aunt and cousin. The doctor will come soon and sit down for a rest. What''s the matter? How can Niuniu be so sick? " Aunt choked and said, "you sister, if it''s not really impossible, we can''t come to your home. The child was just a little feverish at first, but her grandmother refused to call a doctor for her because she was a girl. Later, she had not urinated for three days and nights, so her grandmother agreed to go to see the doctor. The doctor in the town said that she would not live if she went late. Yulian''s mother-in-law originally disliked Niuniu as a girl and refused to pay for her treatment. After listening to the doctor''s words, she even wanted to sell Niuniu to a family with a dead son in the town to marry in secret. If it wasn''t for Yulian''s rigidity, she would have died long ago, holding her child in her arms and running to the shop in the mountain. "


    Hearing this, leisurely shocked to say, "I remember sister Yulian''s mother-in-law''s life is not bad, how even children are not willing to care, even girls are her granddaughter, she is not distressed at all?"


    Yulian raised her head and said, "don''t say it''s a granddaughter. Even her own daughter, she doesn''t care about it at all. I had been married for more than two years before I came to know that my former husband had two sisters. They were all sold to people from other counties when they were six or seven years old. To the outside world, they only said that they had an emergency. Not a few of our farmers'' children died early, and others didn''t care. If it wasn''t for my husband''s drunkenness that time, I would never know about it. The younger sister thought that the old woman could sell her own daughter, not to mention her granddaughter. If it wasn''t for the pills that Huizi''s sister gave me, I stole some and gave Niuniu two pills this time. She still doesn''t know if she can make it to this Huizi? " While talking, he cried, and then he began to scold his husband, "her father is also a beast. They all say that tiger poison does not eat son. This is his own flesh and blood. He even agreed with my mother-in-law that he wanted to sell Niuniu to marry in secret. This time, if Niuniu can save me, I''ll die if I can''t, and I have to work hard with their family. "


    Leisurely quickly pacify way "well, things have not come to that point, sister first don''t busy dying, I see Niuniu this child ear lobe thick, nose high, is a lucky face, will be OK."


    While talking, the official family came with the doctor. This is Dr. Huang, who is familiar with the Shen family everyday. This year, he is more than 60 years old, and he is also familiar with his contacts, so he doesn''t pay attention to avoiding anything. Leisurely saw doctor Huang and said, "doctor Huang, come and have a look at this child. He hasn''t urinated for three or four days. His breath is very weak."


    Dr. Huang quickly put down the medicine box and asked Yulian to put the child on the arhat chair in the room. First, she explored Niuniu''s breath, then opened her eyelids, looked at it, and then felt her stomach. After her breath had stabilized, she began to feel Niuniu''s pulse. After a while, he nodded, "it''s not a big problem. Let''s go to the kitchen to get a bowl of yellow rice wine and heat it. Put some ginger slices in it, and then bring some green onions with roots." Although I didn''t quite understand Dr. Huang''s words, leisurely still let people follow them. At this time, Dr. Huang asked Yulian to take off her children''s clothes. Although Yulian hesitated, she thought it was important to save her life. Besides, Niuniu was still young, so she did it very well. Although it was cold winter, fortunately, there was a fire in the room. Leisurely, she asked the servant girl to take a few beds of Kang Ge''er''s bedding to cover Niu Niu. Then Dr. Huang began to hold Niu Niu''s little hand and massage her.


    After a while, a woman brought things over. Doctor Huang picked up a green onion, dipped it in some hot yellow rice wine, pushed it to his shoulder along the palm of the child''s hand, and then said, "the other arm should do the same. Don''t spare your strength, use some strength. Go and get a bowl of the same yellow rice wine. " After hearing this, my aunt thought to herself that she would work harder on weekdays. She took over the job on her own initiative, picked up another green onion and did it as Dr. Huang did.


    After a quarter of an hour''s work, Dr. Huang stopped, put down the shapeless scallion and wiped the sweat on her forehead. Without time to rest, he picked up another scallion and began to massage Niuniu''s feet. In the end, after pressing the center of her foot, she pressed her hands around Niu Niu''s navel a few times, asked for hot water to clean her hands, and then pricked her body with a few needles. In the end, Dr. Huang was sweating.


    After the injection, Dr. Huang sat down on the chair. A servant girl had already brought a bowl of tea to dry. Dr. Huang dried two bowls of tea at once, and then he leaned back on the chair to lie asleep. The mother and daughter of Yulian were very anxious. The elder aunt wanted to ask. Seeing the doctor, she didn''t dare to ask easily. Then she shook her head at them, so she had to keep silent. Who knows, after a while, the sound of exhaust came from Niuniu. At first, Yulian thought she had heard wrong. Later, her voice became louder and louder. Even the maid outside heard it and came to ask. Leisurely asked them to bring more children''s bedding and clothes, and asked them to clean up a guest yard in the front yard. After touching a cup of tea, Dr. Huang suddenly opened his eyes. Then he got up and looked at Niu Niu. He gave her a pulse again. Then, as soon as his eyebrows relaxed, he pulled out all the silver needles on her body. She said, "OK, it doesn''t matter from the pulse. She will excrete in half an hour. I''ll prescribe another pair of medicine. Go and get it. Give it to her once a day. It should be cured in three or four days. It''s just that you should pay attention to your diet these days. You''d rather be light than greasy. Just drink some rice porridge to nourish your stomach. "


    Jade lotus immediately knelt down and said, "thank you for saving my daughter''s life." Dr. Huang even called "can''t use", and then mixed her up.


    Seeing that Dr. Huang''s clothes were soaked with sweat just now, he said, "thank you very much for your help. Dr. Huang is really good at medicine. I think the doctor''s clothes are a little dirty. If you don''t like them, go to the next room and wash them and change into clean clothes. If you don''t go out and be blown by the wind, you may easily get cold. " Doctor Huang looked out of the window and nodded in response to the raging northwest wind. Then a young man took him to the next room and put on his clean clothes.


    Niu Niu''s appearance was really dangerous before. This time, Dr. Huang made a great effort. He asked people to seal fifty taels of silver and prepared four kinds of gifts to send Dr. Huang home.

 Chapter 216

    Xiao Si takes doctor Huang to the door of his house. Some servants of Huang''s family have come to help carry the gift to the house. Then Xiao Si leaves and goes back to Shen''s house. Instead, Mrs. Huang and his eldest daughter-in-law, who were talking in the hall, rushed out to take Dr. Huang into the room. Seeing Dr. Huang''s tired look, Mrs. Huang helped him change his clothes and asked, "what''s the matter with you? How so tired, who is going to visit? And changed clothes While talking, a little servant girl made a cup of black tea that doctor Huang liked to drink and brought it up.


    After two sips of tea, Dr. Huang said, "I went to Shen Tongling''s home. The patient is a niece of Mrs. Shen''s mother''s family. Alas, a little girl who is less than two years old has no idea of her illness. If it''s later, Hua Tuo will not be able to return to heaven. "


    "What''s wrong?" Mrs. Huang asked? It''s so dangerous! " Dr. Huang replied, "at first, there was a fever, but it was just a delay. It''s said that the little girl''s grandmother didn''t let her see the doctor for fear of spending money. Later, when she saw that the child was bad, she even sold her to the landlord''s family to marry in secret. Fortunately, the girl''s mother was more rigid, took her child to her mother''s home for help, and then went to the Shen family. Mrs. Shen asked me to go. It''s been years since I heard that I didn''t give my granddaughter medical treatment because of the pain. "


    Hearing this, Mrs. Huang quickly agreed, "isn''t it? It''s hard for the family to get money to see a doctor for their children. How can they ignore it just because they are girls? " Then he thought of his poor little granddaughter and sighed, "it''s like there are no girls in our family for two generations. It''s hard to hope for a little girl, but unfortunately she died early. We were willing to save her at that time, but we didn''t save her after all. "


    Speaking of this, Dr. Huang is also full of regret, "isn''t it? I just hate that I''m not good at medicine. I can''t save my only granddaughter. You don''t know, I saw that little girl today, so small in her mother''s arms, just like the girl at that time. He thought that he must save the child. Fortunately, the child is blessed. " Said unexpectedly also chokes up.


    Seeing that her mother-in-law was in a bad mood, Mrs. Huang quickly advised her, "my daughter-in-law knows that her father and mother are not at ease. It''s just that people are coming and going at home now, which makes people see how bad it is. What''s more, the second younger brother and sister are getting better after all. Isn''t it even worse to see their father and mother in such a state of mind? "


    The lost baby was born to Huang Er granny. Since she left, she has never been able to get sick. She has been raised for more than half a year and has just made some progress. Unlike most people who value boys, the Huang family likes girls. Dr. Huang''s generation has a sister, but he has only two sons. His eldest son has three grandchildren. His second son has a grandchildren first and then a little girl. There has been no girl in the family for many years. The birth of the little girl has made the whole family very happy. When she left, she was more than two years old. She could shout sweetly and make people happy. She didn''t expect to go because of a cold, but it hurt the whole family.


    Listen to the eldest daughter-in-law''s comfort, two old also gradually put away Qi color. Dr. Huang pointed to the things on the ground and said, "these are all the things given by Mrs. Shen. It''s rare for me to see that the basket of oranges is very big. Let''s share some with the two in laws." Because of his excellent medical skills, Dr. Huang often went to some official houses. Although many people sent some fresh fruits, few of the fruits from the south got such a large basket all at once.


    Mrs. Huang was distracted by her husband''s words. She went to the middle of the room and opened the orange box first. It was really big and fresh. Seeing the same big basket, I thought it was also oranges, so I opened it carelessly. When I saw the neat bundles of fresh vegetables in it, I exclaimed, "Lady Shen is so generous. At this time, such a big basket of fresh vegetables is not cheap." In addition to these two kinds of fruits and vegetables, there are two cans of tea and two brocades on the table. The brocades are the same big red peony pattern and the same precious blue three friends of the year.


    After looking at the material, Mrs. Huang said with a smile to her eldest daughter-in-law, "I can''t use such bright satin. It''s better for you young people to wear happy clothes. You can divide it into two parts and make a jacket with your sister-in-law for the new year


    Granny Huang quickly refused, "I''d better put away such good materials. My daughter-in-law''s winter clothes have been finished." Mrs. Huang waved her hand. "I don''t even have a daughter. What do I do with such materials? Take it. I think the cotton padded jacket you made is apricot yellow. Without this color, the second daughter-in-law''s will be purer. You go and tell her to dress up freshly for the new year, so that the little girl can go away at ease. " Hearing this, Granny Huang went down with the material in her arms.


    After seeing doctor Huang off leisurely, this head just arranged for his uncle and aunt to eat some food, and then mother Lin brought someone over. Seeing that their mother and son were really here, they were relieved, "today is Xue Gongren''s birthday. I accompanied shu''er to the Xue family to celebrate her birthday. Only when I came back did I hear that someone from Lin''s village had been here. I just heard that Angie and I were not at home, so I turned around and left. After I knew it, I thought that since I was a member of the clan, I had to come to you. It''s true. What''s the matter with my sister-in-law coming to Beijing? "


    The aunt wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, held mother Lin''s hand and said, "is there something urgent? You don''t know, sister-in-law, Niuniu almost died. Fortunately, leisurely found a doctor with excellent medical skills to save her life. " Then he told the story again.


    After listening to the whole story, Lin Mu said angrily, "I''ve seen Yulian''s family two or three times, but they all look like human beings. I didn''t expect to be so cruel. If there is no silver in the family, it''s OK to pour it, but as her mother-in-law''s family looks like, there are always tens of taels of silver in the family. How much money can a child spend on a sick day? Does Yulian earn two or three Liang silver for embroidery every month? It doesn''t cost the public money. Yulian''s husband is not a good one either. If his mother doesn''t let him save her, she won''t treat her? Who is this? " "Is that not the reason? Yulian married to their family to be an ox and a horse. Although she didn''t have to go down to the ground, she got up every day to do housework before dawn. She embroidered all day long from dawn to dusk. She gave all her money to Gongzhong, and she couldn''t lose a cent. When pregnant with the first child, the stomach is bulging, and we don''t want to rest, otherwise a good brother can''t flow like that. At that time, if I hadn''t taken two daughters-in-law to take care of her in turn, I was afraid that even her mother-in-law would not have finished the confinement. At that time, I shouldn''t have stopped Yulian if she wanted to leave. This time, she almost killed my granddaughter. " Uncle Niang said while crying, leisurely and Lin Mu had to give some careful comfort.


    Leisurely used to know that many people here had the idea of son preference in their families, but it was the first time that she experienced such a thing. I don''t know what these people think, even if they are not related by blood, I''m afraid they can''t bear to see a fresh life buried in front of them. It seems that although there are female schools and female officials in the world, only a small part of them have benefited, and the fate of those girls in the civilian family is still miserable. Leisurely in the heart a burst of indignation, but helpless, can only suppress in the heart of not angry, help to take care of Niu Niu.

 Chapter 217

    Niuniu had just woken up once, and she also defecated. Yulian fed her some rice soup, and she went to sleep again. Looking at her daughter''s sleeping face, the silent Yulian suddenly said, "this time, I must leave. I don''t want to stay in that cold and heartless home any more." Then she knelt down in front of leisurely and Lin''s mother and said, "please help me, my second aunt and sister. I''ll repay you even if I''m married in my next life." Leisurely quickly pulled her up, "it''s all my own flesh and blood. Why do you have to do so? Don''t worry. I will help you out with this."


    Then a room of people moved to the next room to talk, this matter is not a small matter, it is always better to discuss with students, leisurely don''t worry about the little maid, left LiuYe there to take care of the little girl.


    After sitting down in the main room, leisurely first said, "it''s not a trivial matter to be away from you, cousin, but have you thought about it?"


    Yulian nodded. "Well, you can see the scene this time. Even if we don''t get along with each other, we will be sad in that family. There is no outsider in this room. I''ll tell you straight. When I lost my first baby, the doctor said I was not well. Later, when she gave birth to Niu Niu, although she tried her best to maintain it, it was still not good. I''m afraid it will be difficult for her offspring. What''s more, all the family took me as a tool to earn money, including my husband, none of them really loved me. Every day, I just stare at my sewing. Every time I do work, someone follows me, for fear that I will drop some. I earn three or four taels of silver for my wife''s family every month. What I eat is porridge, and what I wear is the clothes and cloth I got married. My father-in-law and mother-in-law only love their eldest grandson and youngest son, and devote all their efforts to providing the youngest son to study and test for talent. My husband is also counting on his brother''s future development to help him. Most of the money I earn is for my uncle to read, but this white eyed wolf has read to the dog''s stomach. Niu Niu is his own niece at least. When I see her sick, I don''t want to help her. I''m afraid that my child''s illness will delay my work and make money. Later, it''s not good to look after children, and I''m afraid to spend my family''s money. " Crying while talking.


    The elder sister-in-law didn''t know the inside story before. She muttered, "your little brother-in-law looks like a very polite child on weekdays."


    Jade lotus clenched her teeth and said, "it''s just a show! Niang thought that councillor Li in that town knew the news of Niuniu''s serious illness so soon, and rushed to buy Niuniu to get married. It''s not because my little brother-in-law and one of Yuan Li''s concubines are classmates. It''s not without my little brother-in-law''s hand. "


    Leisurely and Lin mother look at each other, Lin mother said, "if this is true, then this family is determined not to stay any longer." Then he looked at his mother and son and said, "what''s your opinion?"


    The elder aunt blushed and said, "before, when Yulian came home to complain, I just thought about which mother-in-law didn''t exchange views with her daughter-in-law, so I didn''t take it to heart. Later, when I learned about my in laws, I just wanted to survive until I had a son. Who could have thought that family would be like this? This time even if lian''er didn''t want to leave me, she had to leave the family. She was a litter of animals. She didn''t have any human taste! "


    But Yulian''s elder brother just hugged his head and said, "it''s only our brothers who don''t have the talent to study. If we have a star and a half in our body, their family dare not treat our younger sister like this."


    Leisurely said, "it''s not my cousin''s fault. It''s the family that''s so shameful. It''s not hard for sister Yulian to leave. But what should we do in the future? "


    Yulian nodded, "if it wasn''t for Niuniu, I wouldn''t have been in that house for a long time. I''ve been working as a cow in that family for many years, and Mary''s eyes are all buttoned up. As a result, my daughter is dying, and the whole family refuses to treat her. Now I only worry about the registered residence of Niu Niu, I have brought out the gold and silver and other things in the dowry, and the silver in the box. What I left at that place is only some clothes and furniture, and it is nothing to lose. Although most of the money I have earned in recent years has gone into my mother-in-law''s pocket, I know sunniangzi very well, and I have asked her to help me hide some of the money. In the past four years, there have been fifty or sixty taels of silver. I''m thinking about taking Niuniu to rent a house in the city. My skill is enough to support our mother. "


    Lin Mu said, "if you have an idea in mind, let''s talk about renting a house later. You can live here safely first. When Niu Niu is well, it''s not too late for us to take a long-term view. "


    Now that it''s settled, Yulian''s mother and daughter will stay here for the time being. And the aunt and the big brother were worried about the family affairs and rushed back in the night. When Shen Ze came back in the evening and heard about it, he said, "it''s not difficult. This idea is not worth it. When you come out in person, just give it to me." Leisurely has always been convinced of his husband, so he will take care of him when he hears the words. Lin''s mother wanted to take her mother and daughter to her home, but leisurely said that Niu Niu''s condition had not improved, so don''t move for the time being. Moreover, the Lin family''s house is narrower. Yulian''s mother and daughter used to be afraid that they would be crowded together with Lin''s mother. It''s not very cheap. Lin''s mother thought it was the same reason. After she went back, she picked up some clothes and tonics and sent them to Yulian. Zhuang Shu is thinking of personally come to see Niu Niu, but the body inconvenience, also let people send some things to come over, eat with.


    Leisurely, needless to say, Yiying clothes are considerate. Jade lotus see in the eye, in the heart silently appreciate, only after have a chance to be able to repay two aunts.


    After about a day''s work, leisurely came to see Niu Niu again. Although she was still a little pale, she had a look in her eyes. Her smile was very painful. Leisurely teased a little girl, by the way took out a big box handed to Yulian. Lin''s daughter knew several words. Yu lotus opened the box and saw that there was a pile of paper in her heart. She started shaking the paper and saw her own book and registered residence, and a fifty-two silver ticket. There were also some scattered pieces of silver, which were estimated to be about 452.


    She looked at leisurely, leisurely clapped her hand, "cousin, you can rest assured this time, you are free now. When you said you wanted to stay in Beijing, I directly asked you to do this registered residence. As for bank notes? When you have been working as a cattle and horse in Zhangjia for so many years, you have to get out the money you have filled in these years without asking for compensation. It''s just that the family doesn''t have much cash. I''m afraid that the dog will jump over the wall in a hurry and just pick out these. There are also your things, furniture and so on. Several cousins have moved back to my uncle''s house, and some of your clothes and feet. The old ones are left in my uncle''s house, and some unused ruler heads and some fresh clothes are brought back to you. Originally, my aunt wanted to come to see you with the car, but I caught up with the second sister-in-law. I can only see you later. "

 Chapter 218

    Jade lotus looks at these things, in the heart a heat, gratitude of say "big en don''t thank, I know if don''t have you and brother-in-law to help out, this matter can''t so simple end.". My wife and I have nothing to repay, but I will not hesitate to go through fire and water if there is any assignment for my younger sister


    Leisurely said with a smile, "sister, you don''t have to. We are all sisters of the family. Since I can help you, I won''t watch you being bullied by outsiders. Well, now that everything is over, I think you''ve been haggard in taking care of Niu Niu these days. It''s better to take care of you while you''re young. It''s not for myself, it''s time for Niuniu to keep her body well. "


    Yulian nodded, "what my sister said is that now Niuniu has only me to rely on. If I''m not good, who does she expect to go?" Then she said, "when Niu Niu was born, the whole family didn''t think about her, but I gave her the nickname of Niu Niu. Now that I''m away from there, Niuniu''s family name will be mine. I want to change Niuniu''s name. It''s just that I know a few words, and I have to bother my sister to give her a name. My sister is very rich in fuze, and I want to get involved in the meaning of sister fuze. "


    Wen Yan said with a leisurely smile, "since you look up to me, I have to give her a good name." Then she asked Niuniu about her birthday. After leisurely coming here, she studied Zhouyi carefully. With her daily accumulation, she still understood the five elements. After thinking for a moment, she said, "there is a lack of wood in this child''s five elements. Although it comes from your surname, it is not afraid of many. It is said in the book of songs that taoliang in March was born at the end of March, when the peach tree was just beginning to bear fruit. It''s better to call her taoliang. I hope her future life will be like a peach, with many children and grandchildren and IKEA. What do you think? "


    Yulian said with a smile, "although I don''t understand it very well, I feel good when I listen to it. I''ll call it this if I want to Then he hugged Niuniu and gave her a kiss. "You will be called taoliang later. Taoliang, do you like this name?" Niu Niu looked at her mother with two big eyes open. Although she was still a little confused, she still said with a smile, "I like it."


    Children''s recovery ability is good, to the small years ago, taoliang has been very good, now also can play everywhere. Leisurely asked Dr. Huang to come to see her again. Dr. Huang also said that she had recovered, but it would be ok if she could have a good baby in the future. Yulian and leisurely said, "now taoliang is very well. I want to ask my sister to find someone to rent a place for me. My wife and I should move out as soon as possible. It will be new year''s day soon. I''m very grateful that you can help me these days. Wouldn''t it be too shameful to stay at your home for the new year


    Leisurely said, "what are you saying? I know you want to be strong, but how can I rent a house under this festival? You''ll live here in peace. If you want to live here, you''ll have to wait for another year. "


    Just at this time, Lin''s mother came by car, and she was relieved to see taoliang well. So he turned around and asked Yulian, "Tomorrow your elder brother will go back for rent. Are you going back to Lin''s village for the new year, or are you staying here?"


    Lin''s mother thought that Yulian Xu was willing to go back to her mother''s home for the new year. But she bit her lip and said, "I won''t go back first. Now there must be a lot of noise in the village. I''m not afraid of it. I''m afraid that the children will follow me back to be instructed." If there are only parents and elder brothers in the family, it''s just that the two elder brothers have already married and have children. After they finally leave Zhangjia, they still have to take their daughter back to be run by others. Does the family keep getting angry?


    Although she did not say this, leisurely can also guess that a mother-in-law who went to help Yulian with her marriage affairs came back and said that the eldest grandmother of the uncle''s family looked reluctant. She was afraid that a sister-in-law would influence her daughter''s marriage. She didn''t tell mother Lin about it. Mother Lin thought uncle''s family were all happy for her cousin!


    She sighed silently in her heart, and then said, "what my cousin said is that my mother doesn''t know the strength of the long tongued woman in the village. If it''s all right, they have to arrange it. What''s more, now that my cousin has just left, it''s time to be discussed. Taoliang''s body is not good enough. When he goes back, he will be bullied and run by the children in the village. If the old disease is triggered again, it will be very bad. It''s better to wait a few years for taoliang to come back to the village when he''s old. At that time, it''s too light, and there won''t be so many people. "


    Lin felt that there was some truth in this, so she nodded. Yulian went back to her room and took out a bundle. She said it was a new year''s gift for her mother''s family and a gift for her newborn nephew. Please help her take it back. That is, leisurely also has things for her family, and let her brother take them back. This time, she changed her low-key style in previous years. Instead of offering pills and cotton cloth, she chose something fresh and attractive. The reason is that the mother-in-law who went to Zhangjia told Youran when she came back, because she didn''t see any "valuable" things for her cousin in previous years, so she didn''t get close to Yulian and Youran''s sister and brother, so Zhangjia would punish her like that. It was not until leisurely sent someone to take care of the matter that Zhang Jia regretted. He had known that they were so close, and Zhang Jia would never treat Yulian like this.


    After hearing this, she could not help but help her forehead. She forgot that most of the countrymen had narrow vision. She never thought that the soft and thick Songjiang cloth was twice as expensive as the ordinary silk. What''s more, in the village, who has nothing to wear all day long and can''t do any work? In addition, there are few doctors in the countryside, and most of the doctors are not good at medicine. Therefore, those who give more herbs and tonic pills to their sisters are classified as "worthless"? In rural areas where there is a lack of medicine, is the pill that can save people''s lives more precious than silver?


    Leisurely also felt that he took it for granted, so this time he added some bright silk. In the past, she chose a few low-key fur coats and skirts for her sisters, aunts and aunts. This time, she asked people to find out some big woolen clothes sent outside the festival, and specially selected some bright colors. A cotton padded jacket with pink Kesi and silver mice, a Green Embroidered Cotton Skirt with gold color and a big red feather yarn are wrapped in a package for tingran. He also took a piece of Silver Red Dorothy fur cotton padded jacket, a big red flowered pleated skirt and a big red star felt cloak, which were prepared for Xiuyun. As a matter of fact, she had given several sisters clothes before, but the colors and materials were chosen in a low-key way. Most of them were close fitting colors and autumn fragrance colors. She didn''t think it was necessary to wear such eye-catching clothes in the countryside. It''s just that if outsiders underestimate the sisters, it''s better to keep a high profile. In addition, each person also gave two kinds of red gold jewelry with red treasure, a red gold hairpin and a bracelet with small finger. The styles were slightly different, but they were all inlaid with ruby the size of a lotus seed. These are enough to be worn in the capital, not to mention in Baishan town. Today''s leisurely is not bad. These things are a little better than what she usually gives her servant girl. If she can help her sisters to support the scene, it''s better. Also let their husband''s family don''t forget that there is a third grade Gao Ming lady standing here. Not everyone can bully her sisters!

 Chapter 219

    Since we want to send them, we need to send more. Even the elders, such as my uncle, aunt and so on, didn''t pull down their clothes. They didn''t wear them and left them in vain. If you blindly reward the slaves, I''m afraid they will give them a lot of money. It''s better to send more to their relatives.


    Others had it, and the people in front of them couldn''t pull it down. They leisurely found several cotton padded jackets of silver rat and grey rat, a cape of gorilla felt, and a pair of green lotus Dorothy jacket to send to Yulian. "Tell my cousin that the other sisters have it. It''s only for her, so she must accept it." The servant girl agreed to go.


    Leisurely originally wanted to let LiuYe''s big servant girls go for a trip. When she turned her head and thought that these servant girls might not be able to hold the field after all, she asked someone to invite her mother Yang who often went out. After a while, mother Yang came to see her wearing a stone blue silver mouse coat, a royal blue horse face skirt, her hair neatly combed in a bun, with two gold hairpins on it, and a pair of plain gold bracelets on her hand. She nodded in her heart. Mother Yang''s dress is not eye-catching, and she doesn''t lose face. This is the dress of a respectable woman in a big family in Beijing. But if you go to Baishan Town, this dress will be a little plain.


    So he said with a leisurely smile, "Mom, go back and tidy up. Tomorrow morning, I''ll go to Baishan town with my uncle. I''m afraid I''ll stay there for a day or two because it''s a long way. You take two little girls and four women, in addition to two Coachmans and two errands. Mom used to help me deliver things, this time I don''t have to be as polite as before, just show our family''s style. When I got there, I had to hand deliver the things to my two sisters, secretly watching to see if their mother-in-law treated them well. Tell them that the sisters haven''t been together for a long time. When you are free after the new year, just come and live for a few days. They''re all close sisters. They don''t get separated because they''re close. "


    Yang''s mother nodded as she listened. "I understand the meaning of the lady. I''ll take the words with me. I''ll go down and get ready." Then he turned around and left. Leisurely, he said, "Mom, wait a minute." Then he told Liu Ye to take the red dressing box from the dressing table. Liu Ye went to take it out and handed it to you ran.


    Here are some jewelry sent from outside. This box is not inlaid. The workmanship is not exquisite, but it is better to use materials. When leisurely used to look at the Red Mansion, it said that Jia Mu and others would receive a lot of clothes, jewelry and other things from outside every year. At that time, he thought it was quite incredible. Later, after spending so many years in Shen Fu, I gradually got used to this custom. I used to watch Han and others receive gifts, but now I collect more and more things every year. She searched the box for a while, and when she saw that there was nothing decent, she told LiuYe to "go back to the ebony box inside and take out a ring inlaid with gems and a hairpin."


    Liu Ye went in for a while and came out with a ring inlaid with sapphire and a pair of earrings of the same style. He said, "if you go back to grandma, there is no hairpin. The maid is the master and takes this pair of earrings." Leisurely looked at "unimpeded, horizontal and vertical is a meaning." Then he picked out a pair of gold bracelets with lotus patterns from the box and handed them to mother Yang with the gold rings and Earrings brought by LiuYe. "I''ll give these things to my mother and wear them tomorrow." "I can''t afford it!" mother Yang said Leisurely stuffed into her arms, said, "Mom just take it, as a reward for the next year." Mother Yang just took it.


    Leisurely also took two gold rings and two pairs of silver bracelets, let people reward the little girl and mother-in-law, let people tell them to dress up bright tomorrow. After listening to leisurely arrangement, Yang''s mother knew that she was going to Liwei. Also, this time the master''s cousin has been so wronged in her mother-in-law''s house. It''s strange that grandma is not angry. When you think about the cause and effect, Yang''s mother has a sense of propriety in her heart. Grandma asked them to go this time. Chuang Hu''s family has little knowledge. How can they recognize the hairpin of white jade and red sandalwood? Naturally, it''s different from walking around a big family in the capital on weekdays, so in addition to the two kinds of jewelry leisurely gave her, mother Yang went back and found out a bird''s head hairpin inlaid with agate and a pair of gold bracelets, which she had got before, ready to "show off" tomorrow.


    Early the next morning, mother Yang took people and things to the Lin family. After meeting with Enron, she went all the way to the Lin village. After arriving at the village, I went back to the ancestral home of the Lin family. The ancestral home of the Lin family was no longer the original four or five main rooms, but was expanded into a three entrance courtyard, where two families were specially responsible for guarding the house and taking care of Chuang Tzu. Because the letter was sent in advance, the house was cleaned up early in the morning, and the house was well burned. After settling down with mother Yang and her party, she said, "all the relatives and mothers in the village know each other. If you have enough rest, just help yourself. I''ll go to the ancestral hall to worship my ancestors first, and then I''ll go to my uncle''s house with my mother tomorrow." Yang mother quickly said with a smile, "uncle just go to busy, old slave own count." After Enron left, mother Yang washed her face and combed her hair in a hurry. She called the two women in the house and asked a few words. Then she had a bottom in her heart and could do things more freely.


    In Lin Dabo''s family, mother Yang is the one who comes most, and this family is Grandma''s serious uncle''s, so mother Yang''s attitude is very respectful. The uncle''s family is also very polite. Mother Yang gives a gift and talks a little, but both the guests and the host are happy.


    And at this time, tingran is at her mother-in-law''s house, arguing a lawsuit for her mother-in-law''s medicine money this year. It turns out that when they separated, they all agreed that the medical expenses of their parents in law would be shared equally by tingran and the eldest brother''s family. In the past, the two elders seldom got sick, basically did not take medicine, and they spent little money all year round. As a result, this year, both of them had a cold spell, which cost six or seven taels of silver. Can tingran''s sister-in-law to distressed bad, is to let her out half, she is not willing to. It must be said that tingran and his wife live far away and spend less time waiting on their parents in law. They have to pay more money, but they are only willing to pay two Liang.


    Can tingran to angry bad, is, they live far, also really come over less. But at the beginning, because the eldest family supported their parents-in-law, they had already gained enough advantage. Two thirds of the family''s property was distributed to them, and the eldest couple''s private houses were also subsidized. These Ting ran didn''t care with them. Now they are really more and more excited. Ting ran doesn''t need the silver, but she doesn''t want to follow her sister-in-law''s will so easily.


    They were in a stalemate when they saw a neighbor''s boy coming in outside the door: "grandfather, there are guests in your house."

 Chapter 220

    They were surprised for a moment. All the relatives who should have come had come, and they didn''t know who was coming this time? Tingran''s sister-in-law thought it was her mother''s home, so she went out to meet her. As a result, as soon as I opened the curtain, I saw a strange and gorgeous carriage at the gate. Then four or five servant girls came with a gorgeous lady in her thirties. Tingran''s sister-in-law quickly came forward and said, "I don''t know where this lady comes from?"


    But after hearing this, the man quickly bowed himself and said with a smile, "grandma, you''re very kind. I''m from commander Shen''s family in the capital. I''ve come to send some new year gifts to my aunt and grandmother at the order of my grandmother. "


    What''s the matter? The grandmother''s sister-in-law tingran was in the clouds when she saw her two younger brothers and sisters coming out of the room. She was surprised and asked, "I thought I was wrong when I heard my mother''s voice in the room. When I came out, it was mother Yang! It''s cold outside, mom. Please come inside


    Yang mother saw Ting ran, respectfully line a gift, smile way "aunt grandmother always good?" Tingran quickly went to her and held her up. "I''m fine. I thought I''d go to see my cousin if I was free after the Spring Festival. I didn''t expect that my cousin thought about me first and sent my mother to see me. Let''s go in and talk. "


    With that, he took mother Yang''s hand and went into the hall. When the people in the room saw Mother Yang, they first wondered when they had such rich relatives? To be heard clearly, the visitor is just tingran cousin''s mother-in-law, but also smack tongue unceasingly. I don''t know what the master should look like when a servant is dressed up so magnificently?


    It''s just that we all say that our daughter-in-law has a bad relationship with aunt Lin, who is an official wife in Beijing? Why did this meeting send someone to see his daughter-in-law?


    Xu is aware of her doubts. After the ceremony, Yang''s mother sits on a stool in the room and says with a smile to tingran''s father-in-law, "although our grandmother didn''t grow up at home, she has only two or three sisters in total. She is very close in her heart all the time. It''s just that there have been a lot of miscellaneous things in the past two years. We''ve asked our uncle to bring them back by the way. I didn''t expect that some people would think that our grandmothers didn''t care about our grandmothers. This is really wrong. This does not mean that the family in zhangjiacun bullies our aunt''s kindness. They feel that their mother''s family won''t support her, so they try their best to learn from her. As a result, we must have heard that one person lost both money and money. But our grandmother said that your family will not be like this. The master of your family has a reputation, and he has taught a scholar''s son. It must be a family of rules and etiquette. Naturally, it will not be as unreasonable as Zhang''s father-in-law. "


    This makes tingran''s mother-in-law embarrassed, that is, the eldest husband and wife on one side are also chatting. Yang mother saw such a scene, what does not understand. At the moment, he said to tingran, "the old slave brought some things here. It''s the annual gift that our grandmother specially prepared for her. There are a lot of things. Why don''t you let the old slave take them home to his aunt? "


    Tingran''s sister-in-law also wants to get a little cheaper. Now the interface is "it''s better to put it here, and let our parents and us open our eyes..."


    Before his voice fell, he closed his voice under the glare of his father-in-law. Tingran''s father-in-law, after all, is a student who has passed the examination. He knows better than others that the number one scholar of the Lin family is only in his early twenties, and he is already a senior official of zhengsipin! The cousin of the second daughter-in-law heard that it was the third grade Gaoming of the hall. In the past, he really thought that his second daughter-in-law was not close to his brother-in-law, so he was partial to the eldest son''s family.


    Now it is obvious that this is not the case! Naturally, he can''t be confused any more. Such a big backer should flatter him tightly. How can he offend him easily?


    Therefore, he said at the moment, "the second family, since it''s your mother''s relatives who send you things, you should go home as soon as possible. It''s said that the number one scholar also came back today. He put away his things and went back to his mother''s home to have a look. What can I do for him. As for what your sister-in-law said, don''t worry about it. I still have some privacy. I don''t need your brothers to pay for the money. "


    Tingran listened to her father-in-law''s words, then she took her son and Xianggong home together. When you see what leisurely gives her, you are also shaken. On the day of the first day of the junior high school, I really put on these things and made a splash in the village. Although her sister-in-law was very jealous, even her mother-in-law didn''t get any advantage in her hands, and she didn''t dare to be any stronger. She only dared to mutter behind her back. Leisurely sent away Yang''s mother and his party, and they were busy at home with the next year''s affairs. When the emperor was twenty years old, he had already closed his pen, and the Yamen had taken leave. Although the imperial army has to be on duty in different shifts, Shen Ze, as the commander, doesn''t have to go to the Yamen every day. But he always works diligently, no matter it''s windy or rainy, he has to go there every day, but the time is not as tense as usual. It''s OK to be early or late. It''s rare to have a leisure time. Today, no one is going to go around to have a party. Shen Ze is in the room to play with his son. He is leisurely checking accounts. It''s a peaceful and sweet scene.


    A few days ago, it was either snowy or windy. It was very cold outside. Leisurely, Kangtai had been confined in the house for more than ten days. Kangtai and dad play for a while, and then point out that they want to go out to play. It''s a fine day, and there''s no wind outside. Shen Ze said, "taking advantage of the warm weather, I''ll take this boy out for a walk to save you from making trouble at home."


    Leisurely smile nodded, "you want to go to it, give him to wear more thick, early in the afternoon back."


    Shen Ze went to the Yamen with his son in his arms. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he felt more secure. When several generals on duty saw the tiger head and tiger brain Kang Tai, they all praised him. If they saw him for the first time, they had to give him a gift. Shen Ze said with a smile, "it was because the boy was making trouble at home that I brought him out. Unexpectedly, I missed everyone''s good things." The crowd burst into laughter. All these things come and go. Shen Ze had seen their children before and gave them things, so they didn''t take them to heart.


    After spending half an hour in yamen, Shen Ze takes Kangtai back, remembers the jewelry he ordered for his wife in a silver shop, and makes the coachman turn to Jinghua street.


    As soon as Shen Ze entered the silver building, he saw the shopkeeper as if he had seen a savior. He trotted up to meet him and said, "Mr. Shen, here you are. This lady has a crush on the jewelry you ordered. She has to pay for it... "


    At this time, a female voice came from the front of the counter, "so this jewelry was ordered by commander Shen?"

 Chapter 221

    The voice is very familiar. Shen Ze looks up to see that it''s not someone else. It''s Princess Lezhen who opens her mouth. When she goes down, she says, "I''ve seen Princess qiansui." This frightens a room of people to jump, kneel down to salute one after another. The shopkeeper was so surprised that he was in a cold sweat.


    Le Zhen took care of the Yingluo around her waist. "Forget it, I''m not willing to go out in the red tape. Let''s get up and do what we should do. Don''t stand in my way. " Hearing this, all the Ke people in the hall left one after another. It is said that the princess has a bad temper, so it''s better to leave quickly. If this Jinzhiyuye is annoyed by her carelessness, she will cry without tears.


    The guests could walk, but the shopkeeper could not walk. He wiped the sweat on his forehead. He laughed and said, "little eyes are thin. I don''t know if your highness is coming. If you offend, ask your highness to make atonement."


    Yue Zhen pulls the corner of her mouth and looks at Shen Ze, "OK, since the main one is here, we only talk to him." The shopkeeper asked Shen Ze for help.


    Shen Ze took a look at the box and said with a smile, "this set of jewelry is not brilliant. I didn''t expect that the princess would like it. Since the princess likes it, just take it. "


    After hearing this, Le Zhen raised her eyebrows and said, "my palace thought that this was the beloved thing made by Lord Shen for his wife. Unexpectedly, Lord Shen was so generous that she let her go."


    Shen Ze laughs: "the princess misunderstood that her wife doesn''t like red gold jewelry. This set of jewelry is for my mother-in-law and is used as a new year''s gift. Since the princess likes it, just take it. It''s the same for me to choose another one. " Then he asked the shopkeeper to wrap things up for the princess.


    However, Yue Zhen said, "since this is the jewelry made by Lord Shen for his mother-in-law, our Palace won''t be loved. Mr. Shen is so considerate to his mother-in-law that he must take more care of his wife? It''s just that Mrs. Shen is not very virtuous. Mr. Shen hasn''t even got a room yet. Do you want to send two beauties to Lord Shen? "


    Is this what a princess should say to a minister? Next to the silver shop manager and staff, I wish I had become deaf and couldn''t hear a word.


    I saw Shen Ze light back way "thank you princess care, but the princess misunderstood, minister''s wife has always been virtuous magnanimous person, is minister has never liked women just."


    Kangtai has always been held in Shen Ze''s arms. The decoration in this room is magnificent. Children like bright colors. They always look left and right, feeling fresh and tight. Sometimes she chuckles. Lezhen takes a look at Kang Ge''er and says, "this child looks like Lord Shen." Then he came forward and touched Kangtai''s face.


    Maybe Lezhen''s look was wrong. Kangtai didn''t drool at the beauty as usual, but began to cry. This makes Lezhen very embarrassed. She can''t help cursing this smelly boy in her heart!


    Shen Ze ignored him and coaxed his son to come. Kangtai pointed out the door and tried to leave. So Shen Ze salutes Lezhen and goes out. As for things, come back later!


    When he came out of the silver chamber, Shen Zeyuan was ready to go home directly. Kangtai points to a sugar vendor''s stall on the opposite side and shouts "yes, yes..." but Shen Ze takes him to the side of the stall. Xiaokang Tai has no big idea. He points to the little monkey, the little rabbit and a big golden dragon on the stall and shouts "all of them." Shen Ze asks the boy to pay, holding Kangtai and waiting. The stall owner just made a little monkey ready to hand it to Kangtai. Kangtai held out his little hand to pick it up. At this time, suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves from a distance.


    Only a few people dressed in bodyguard dress riding high horse, while galloping while shouting "Princess travel, get out of the way." Many stalls were knocked down wherever they went, but the immediate people didn''t worry about them at all. When the sugar man stall owner was shocked, he shivered and the little monkey fell to the ground. Kangtai burst into tears.


    But at the moment, the stall owner is not willing to be a sugar man. He starts to close the stall in a hurry for fear that the stall will be ruined by those people. Shen Ze comforts Kang Tai and asks two boys to help the stall owner receive the stall. Shen Ze saw that all the stall owners around were in a hurry to pack up their things, and those who had been damaged didn''t dare to say so. He could only swallow his anger and frown. After a while, a Red Crowned eight precious chariot came slowly. Shen Ze saw the sign on the chariot and knew that it was Princess Lezhen''s guard of honor. He thought that the chariot must have come to pick her up. He was the only princess in the capital who was so unscrupulous. Sure enough, the carriage stopped at the opposite bank. Just let Shen Ze doubt is, from the car down a man into the inside, straight into the silver. After a while, the man came out with Lezhen and got into the carriage.


    But the man who shared a car with Princess Lezhen was not princess Lezhen''s son-in-law, nor was he a stranger. It was the Empress Dowager''s nephew Zhou Rui. Zhou Rui and his brother-in-law had some problems at the beginning, but later he heard that he had gone to Jiangnan to be an official, and he didn''t know when he would come back. Thinking of the intimate relationship between the man and princess Lezhen just now, I can''t help frowning. Princess Lezhen has always been domineering. I heard that she was dissatisfied with the emperor''s son-in-law for a long time. However, although the princesses of this dynasty had the precedent of keeping face, most of them were private acts, and everyone turned a blind eye to them. Few Princess Lezhen is so blatant! And that Zhou Rui, who also has a wife, is now the princess''s guest in the Imperial Academy. It''s really a shame to be polite!


    But it''s someone else''s business after all, which involves the princess and the Empress Dowager''s family. Shen Ze can only go home and say it leisurely, but it''s hard to say a word to outsiders. After listening to Shen Ze''s words, leisurely also sighed to himself, who said that the ancients were reserved and conservative, this extramarital affair was put on the surface. But the princess did not know where to put her husband-in-law''s face? Then I thought that Princess Lezhen''s son-in-law was just a poor family with no foundation. Maybe that''s why Princess Lezhen is so bold!


    The couple just talked for a while and then left it aside. They still have a lot to do at home, and they don''t have the time to stare at other people''s homes. As for the custom-made jewelry, the one Lezhen likes is really for Lin Mu. What Shen Ze gives leisurely is the jadeite jewelry made to order in an jadeite shop.

 Chapter 222

    But no one ever thought that in the twinkling of an eye, the situation had developed into an indescribable situation. When Zhou Rui''s wife learned about her husband and princess Lezhen, she took advantage of the fact that they were having a tryst in another courtyard of the Zhou family. She took the intruder to strip Zhou Rui and threw him into the street. Although she didn''t do it to her because of Princess Lezhen''s identity, she also sneered at her. In a rage, Lezhen whipped Zhou Rui''s wife down to the ground and wiped out her two month pregnancy. Finally, she lost her pregnancy because of massive bleeding.


    Zhou Rui''s wife is not a nobody either. She is the granddaughter of Zhuang Shu''s grandmother, Mrs. Feng. Although she is only a junior, she is also a serious patriarch, OK? As a result, as a princess, you first collude with other people''s Xianggong, and then kill them.


    It''s very noisy. There''s also a sound of criticism in the clan. The Duke of Changshan County didn''t want his daughter to go back to Zhou''s ancestral grave after her death, so the royal family had to appease her and agreed to bury her together with the princesses and princesses who died early in the royal family, so as to make her the county leader and bury her under the regulations of the princesses and princesses. He appeased his mother''s family and promoted the title of Changshan County Duke from the third rank to the first rank of Zhenguo Duke. The son of the second generation would not descend to the throne. This reward is not heavy, and it''s not easy for the Changshan Duke''s family to do it again.


    Then, Longde emperor announced Lezhen to the palace and scolded her severely. This daughter really let him down. To see the side of the son-in-law wronged forbearance expression, helpless sigh, his door refers to marriage or improper. Immediately, he ordered them to live with each other, and made up for the original son-in-law''s five grade job along the coast of Southern Fujian, so that he could go out of Beijing as soon as possible. As for Le Zhen, she was asked to go back to her own house and suspend her salary.


    After the Empress Dowager knew about this, the old man was not so gentle as lundeti. Directly ordered people to clean up a courtyard in their own palace, sent a confidant to confine Lezhen in it, no intention not to come out. He also ordered to reprimand Le Zhen''s biological mother, imperial concubine Wei, for her teaching daughter''s incompetence, and lowered her rank by two levels, from imperial concubine to Jieyu. This made the Duke of Chu, who had just returned from the imperial mausoleum, very angry, but he finally pacified the imperial clan and the censor.


    As for her mother''s family, the Empress Dowager did not tolerate. He directly questioned Chengen government and reprimanded Zhou Rui''s father, Chengen government, for failing to discipline and corrupting Gangchang. Zhou Lang, the grandson of Changfang, inherited the Marquis of Chengen. It is said that Zhou Lang''s grandfather is the eldest brother of the empress dowager, but the elder brother of the Empress Dowager died early. When she was the empress, Zhou Rui''s grandfather also made some efforts. Therefore, when she became a empress dowager, she would let her son appoint her stepmother''s younger brother as chengenggong. But now it seems coldly that his half brother not only has no talent, but also can''t manage his family well. I''m really sorry that he taught such a bad offspring.


    In the new year, apart from this, the Empress Dowager only has chest pain, but she is a strong old man and doesn''t want outsiders to see the Royal jokes. As soon as he was congratulated on the new year''s day, he felt bad at night and fell ill. So this year we have a particularly low-key.


    After hearing that the Empress Dowager was in poor health, the concubines and princesses in the harem had to go to the palace to serve the disease in turn. Fang Xinsu also went to the palace with a big stomach to visit her twice. She did not listen to other people''s advice. She only said that the Empress Dowager loved her very much. Now she is worried that she is seriously ill. It was the Empress Dowager who told her in person that she would go to her home, but she also often sent some things to the Empress Dowager.


    The people in Beijing, who are well-informed, heard that the Empress Dowager is not good, so they low-key for the children who have been engaged to do the marriage, for fear that the Empress Dowager Hong will be followed by filial piety.


    Although there were the best doctors and medicinal materials, the Empress Dowager died in the palace of cining at the end of March. Although lundeti had made preparations, he still felt extremely sad when this day came. Princess Lezhen, who caused all this, no longer had the love and connivance of the past. She ordered the house of internal affairs to take back Lezhen''s first honorary title and offering. She didn''t even give the Empress Dowager the chance to cry. Instead, she was sent to baiyun''an to become a nun. Different from the previous practice of taking hair, this time, Emperor Longde directly ordered her to be a nun, and no one was allowed to visit her without an edict. That''s what it means to give up the girl.


    Empress Meng looked coldly at the disposal of emperor Longde, and scoffed in her heart. What''s the use of killing Lezhen? Can the Empress Dowager survive? It''s not your favorite that Lezhen can be so arrogant and domineering today? At the beginning, when she was disrespectful to her own mother and embarrassed her unloved sister in the palace, if she had been ruthless, the child might not have been like this. After sighing, empress Meng turned to take care of the affairs behind the Empress Dowager. Fang Xinsu also cried bitterly when she heard that the Empress Dowager had passed away. The Empress Dowager really had nothing to say to her. It was better to treat her than to treat several princesses. She didn''t expect that the old man would suddenly go like this. Ming is not old next year! She only regretted that she had never called her grandmother in her life. Her stomach has grown up, forced into the palace to cry for a while, and then fainted. Empress Meng asked the imperial doctor to treat her. After that, she was sent back to the palace. Even lundeti had her comforted.


    When the Empress Dowager passed away, leisurely as a Gaoming, she had to go into the palace to cry. She left before dawn every day and came back before the right time. After the Empress Dowager''s coffin was put to rest in the palace for forty-nine days, she was asked to enter the imperial mausoleum and park here for several days before she could be buried with the former Emperor. It took them more than two months to go to the imperial mausoleum to mourn. Leisurely then takes advantage of this opportunity to give Shen Xi everything at home, and let mother Wang and several elderly mothers help. After the year passed, Yulian wanted to leave several times because of the delay of this and that. She didn''t have to leave this time. She entrusted Kangtai to her leisurely. Yulian is naturally very attentive care.


    Lin''s side, Zhuang Shu will be close to production, Lin''s mother must accompany the weeping, she left, how can the family is good? In her hesitation, Mrs. Feng sent someone to tell her that because the emperor and the empress were compassionate, those who were over 60 years old would not have to go to the palace to cry for help. She was also afraid that the old people would not be able to bear it when they were too old. Mrs. Feng, who has three in sixty this year, is in the process of forgiving her granddaughter. She worries about her granddaughter, so she simply picks up her burden and lives in the Lin family. With him as an old man, both Lin Mu and Enron felt relieved.

 Chapter 223

    By the middle of May, when leisurely and his party came back from the imperial mausoleum, Zhuang Shu had already given birth to a baby. She gave birth to a boy last month, and the mother and son were safe. As soon as leisurely came back, he went to his mother''s home to see his new nephew. Full moon children''s facial features have been opened, the whole face protein tender, very lovely. Leisurely carefully looked at it for a while, and said with a smile, "this child is the president. He has chosen the advantages of his parents. When he grows up, he must be a handsome young man."


    Although it has been a month, Lin''s mother must make Zhuang Shu lie in bed for two months before she comes down. Therefore, Zhuang Shu half leaned on the head of the bed and said, "it doesn''t matter whether he is handsome or not. I just hope he will grow up peacefully."


    People who have just become parents think this way. They just wait until their children get older and see that all the other children are outstanding, and they start to worry. They just hate that they have not been able to teach their children since they were young, wasting so much time in vain.


    Listening to this, leisurely also just smile, no more words. She turned around and took a brocade box from the maid''s hand. There was a good jade plate carved with suede in it. She gave it to Zhuang Shu with a smile. "I guess Mrs. Feng must have prepared a better one for Xing Ge''er. Although it''s not the best one, it''s my intention to be an aunt. You can help Xing Ge''er keep it." Zhuang Shu saw that the jade plate was gentle and delicate, with a trace of red color. She knew that it was extremely valuable, and then she said with a smile, "my sister is joking. This jade plate is a wonderful thing. If it''s not for my aunt, how can I give up?"


    Because it was the time of national filial piety, the Lin family did not dare to hold the full moon ceremony. Only a few families who were familiar with each other came to send gifts and set up a few tables of vegetables. They did not even dare to drink wine.


    Just after sending the full moon gift to my nephew, Fang Xinsu also launched it and gave birth to a son. Only Qi Heng was overjoyed. It is the old prince who has been living on the mountain. When he heard that he had a descendant, he asked people to send two boxes of good things, including some antique treasures. The old prince himself named his eldest grandson Qi Shuo, which means bright and bright. Fang Xinsu was also satisfied with the name, but when the child was a child, he still called it cheaper. Because the child was born in the morning, the couple discussed giving the child a nickname called Chen Ge''er.


    When the palace learned of this, in addition to a gift from the house of internal affairs, Emperor Longde and empress Meng also gave rewards. The arrival of a new life always brings hope and joy. A hundred days later, Fang Xinsu took him to the palace to greet empress Meng. Longde took the opportunity to see his grandson. There are many grandsons, granddaughters, and grandchildren of lundeti. However, when he saw his brother-in-law Chen, he was still very happy. He only felt that this child was more suitable for him than other grandchildren. It is morning elder brother son to sprinkle a bubble urine on him, he also feels happy. This child also made Lund de Di''s grief for his mother''s death cut a few points. He asked people to reward Chen Ge''er with a pile of jewelry and toys. Instead of saying that, he directly ordered Chen Ge''er to be the son of the royal family.


    This attracted the attention of the royal family. After all, few of the ordinary royal children were knighted so early. In particular, the state of Chu is not fair. In addition to the eldest son of Prince Lao Wu, he is the only one among the princes. The prince''s eldest son doesn''t care, but Lao Wu''s eldest son has long been the son of the emperor. Now the father and the emperor want to give the son of another surname Wang Shizi, but where did he put his father and son? He thought of his eldest son. To say that he would not have done such a dissension to his husband and wife if he had some love for his eldest son.


    When he thought of his boundless scenery in the past, and the bleak situation now, his mother''s wife was demoted, his sister was sent to the temple, and the princess was clearly separated from him, he clenched his wrist, and his resentment was at this moment.


    In the twinkling of an eye, it was mid autumn. Because of the death of the empress dowager, there was no big banquet in the Palace this year, but the Empress Dowager put a family banquet in the palace, only invited the princes, princesses and princesses to attend. There was no royal wine on the banquet, just some tea and seasonal vegetables.


    This is true inside the palace, and officials'' houses outside dare not set up a banquet to eat wine in a big way. Even the festival gifts are low-key. Most of them are carried out in private, and there are few noisy scenes like in previous years. Of course, the things that should be collected will not be collected less. After the Mid Autumn Festival, leisurely check, and find that the gifts collected this year can be 20% more than in previous years!


    After the Mid Autumn Festival, Yulian asked leisurely to leave again. "She said she would leave after the new year, but now she has been here for more than half a year. I''m really sorry to stay any longer." Leisurely see her insist, also not good force stay. In the past half a year, thanks to Yulian''s help in taking care of Kangtai and Shenxi, but Yulian is a strong person who doesn''t want to live such a life of dependence on others. Leisurely can only follow her heart, and can only help her in the future. It''s just asking, "where are you going to live? Isn''t your house rented out? "

 Chapter 224

    After leisurely showing Yulian the picture album, they both fell in love with a small house in the north. It''s not big. It has only four main rooms, but it''s full of inverted seats and wing rooms. There''s also a small courtyard with a well in it. It''s not expensive. It''s only two hundred taels of silver. Although it is more expensive than Yulian estimated, the house is located in a good location, close to the side door of Wenhua academy, and only seven or eight miles away from Guozijian and Gongyuan. Moreover, the large pieces of furniture inside are neat and tidy, and people can live in it as soon as they are cleaned up. If you buy it and rent it out, a year''s rent alone will be enough for the daily expenses. It''s suitable for her to rent a small courtyard with money. There are many people looking at such a good house. Mr. Zhu originally wanted to keep it for his relatives, but after leisurely opening his mouth, he sent it to the Shen family first. Yulian is also decisive. She also knows that such a good house can''t be her own without her cousin''s face, so she immediately decides to buy it. Although the money in her hand is not enough, she keeps all the lucky money she has given taoliang in recent years. In the first two years, they were handed over by their mother. Each year, they are one or two golden coins. This year, they are two or two, which add up to more than 60 taels of silver. So, together with the deed tax to the government and the tea money to the Yamen clerks, Yulian spent about 220 taels of silver to buy her first house in her life.


    It happened to be near Chunwei at that time, so within two days of buying the house, he rented it to Juzi, a foreign student who went to Beijing to take the exam. He got 15 Liang silver for three months. This is also a good time. Generally, the whole house is rented out for only 340 Liang a year. But if you want to catch up with Chunwei, it''s cheap. In March, you may not be able to rent such a house even if you spend ten Liang a month.


    After renting out the house, Yulian''s hands relaxed again. She was just about to move out, just in time for the Empress Dowager''s death. If she stays here, she can help to look after Kangtai. Even if there is something wrong with people, she can keep an eye on it secretly so as to tell her cousin. No, the delay is now.


    Now listening to leisurely''s question, she said with a smile, "I''ve rented another house. I''m not a stranger, either. It''s LiuYe''s aunt''s house. Her uncle''s house is also quite regular. It''s the second house left by her ancestors. There are more than ten. Liu Ye''s two cousins were young, so the family of four were temporarily crowded into five main rooms. They rented out two small rooms and several wing rooms, so as to save some betrothal gifts for their son. When the girl went back to her aunt''s house, she heard that Ju Zi, who used to rent her family''s East Cross courtyard, was going to move away, so she asked her aunt to keep the house for her. He took me to see it again. Although it''s a big courtyard, it also has a separate gate. It''s also suitable for us to close the gate, which is our mother''s world. "


    Leisurely see jade lotus talk about that house incomparably yearn of appearance, then know cousin in the heart is extremely satisfied. At the moment, he called Liu Ye over and asked him. In addition to Liu Ye''s aunt, he also asked the other tenants in the family if they had any problems. Liu Ye said with a smile, "don''t worry, madam. Those renters are all students from other places who come to study in Wenhua college. My aunt said they are gentle and polite. In addition to the West Cross courtyard is rented to a Ju Ren with family members, East and West Wing rooms are rented to a few young students from Shandong, they are all relatives. The oldest is only 14 years old, and the youngest is only 11 years old. There is an old coachman and a boy who have been with him for years. They are all quiet and steady. They have lived in their aunt''s house for two or three years, and they have not found anything wrong. "


    Leisurely smile "listen to you say so is a kind of appropriate place!" Willow leaf smile back "if not appropriate words, maidservant also dare not and aunt grandmother open this mouth." After listening to Liu Ye''s words, leisurely also thinks this place is suitable. If you really rent a single family courtyard outside, although she takes care of you, it''s hard to rest assured that your cousin and mother are orphans and widows. Now I live in LiuYe''s aunt''s house, even if I don''t speak, the family will take care of my cousin''s mother and daughter. I often let the willow leaves to send some things, there is no improper.


    Therefore, she said to Yulian, "since my cousin even has a good view of the house, it''s up to you." After Yu Lian and you ran had made up their minds, they began to pack up. When she came here, it was just a burden. It was only half a year, and everything had been full.


    Leisurely knows that in the past six months, my cousin has been learning to read by herself, and she often asks Shen Xi for advice. Xu was frightened by Niu Niu''s illness. He even didn''t want to buy a piece of clothes. He spent more than ten Liang to buy two medical books. What she appreciated most in her two lives was this kind of self-supporting and self reliant person. This time, in addition to the ordinary bedding, she was given a box of books and four treasures of her study. Besides the common enlightenment books, there were several thick medical books. In addition to Shennong''s herbal classic and qianjinyifang, she has specially prepared four thick medical books, including Huangdi''s Internal Classic, treatise on febrile diseases, synopsis of the golden chamber and Nanjing, all of which are annotated by famous experts. Even for beginners, it won''t be too difficult. Leisurely now hands generous, these things are nothing to her, but if she can help her sister, she is also happy. Yulian had also read these books in the bookstore, but they were too expensive. A copy of the Yellow Emperor''s Canon of internal medicine without notes costs 15 liang of silver. I''m afraid this one with notes is half as expensive! Regardless of money, the friendship of treating her leisurely is very touching. When Yulian''s house was finished, leisurely went to see it in person. Liu Ye''s uncle''s surname is Chen. Because he is the eldest of his brothers, he is called Chen Da. His mother-in-law is also Liu Ye''s aunt. Everyone calls him Chen''s. Chen''s family was small, and the carriage couldn''t get in, so the party stopped at the gate. Liu Ye''s aunt, Chen everyone, heard that her niece''s master had come, so she was busy to welcome her to the gate. In the past, though she had thought about leisurely appearance, words and deeds from her niece''s dress, words and deeds. But when I met the real person, I was still impressed by her bearing. Now it''s the end of August. She wears a cloud brocade jacket with honey colored embroidered crabapple, a red Pigeon Blood Stone Button on the collar, a pair of green jade bracelets on her hand, a phoenix hairpin with red gold inlaid with pearls on her head, and a pearl as big as a lotus seed just hangs in front of her forehead, which makes her more elegant.

 Chapter 225

    Mr. Chen only looked up and did not dare. Look at the several servant girls around leisurely. They are all well-dressed. The willow leaves are more gorgeous than usual. Leisurely after entering the gate, she said to Chen in a soft voice, "my cousin will live with Aunt Chen in the future. I hope she will take care of me more." Chen did not expect that leisurely would speak to her in person. She was so gentle and polite that she didn''t have a chance to answer. Leisurely a smile, and let the servant girl hold to both ends of the table and two boxes of snacks, said, "a simple gift does not become respect, aunt accept it." Mr. Chen refused. Seeing that his niece winked at him, he accepted it, unable to thank him.


    Leisurely didn''t talk to her any more, then she went to the courtyard where Yulian lived. Chen everyone knows the opportunity. Instead of catching up, he goes back to his room. Because leisurely is Gao Ming''s wife in the end, Chen Da, a foreigner, is not easy to get close to him, so he evades in his room. Being bored inside, I saw my mother-in-law coming over with several things in her arms. As soon as Mr. Chen put his things on the table, he began to praise his men for their carefulness, and showed them two kinds of silks on the table? Where is our family willing to buy? Thanks to the child LiuYe, he always showed filial piety to us. Now he invited such a distinguished guest to our family. Now that Mrs. Shen''s cousin is living here, I don''t think the guards of the patrol office dare to come here to fight the autumn wind? "


    Chen had also been in business for a few years, but he stopped when he was old, so he had some insight. As soon as he saw the material and snacks, he said, "what do you know? This material is called brocade weaving. It''s all from the families of high officials and nobles. It costs at least twenty or thirty taels of silver for one piece. These two pieces are one foot long, and one piece costs seven or eight Liang silver. There are also two boxes of snacks. They are just for dessert, and then they are rare. It''s this box. It''s made of big red lacquer and sour wood. A single box costs five or six taels of silver. "


    After listening to her husband''s words, Chen said with a smile, "I just looked at the box. It''s beautiful and the color is just right. I didn''t expect it to be so expensive. I''ve put them away for my sons'' wedding. It''s decent and cheap. " Then he packed the snacks in another bamboo box, cleaned the two boxes, carefully received them together with the silk, and locked them in the cupboard.


    Leisurely into the courtyard of Yulian, the courtyard is not big, only two main rooms, two West Wing, southwest corner is a small toilet. Thanks to my predecessors, the latrine in this time and space is much more advanced than that in the same historical period in previous generations. At least there are very accessible sewers in the capital. Although there is no toilet, but some diligent people are clean, no smell. There is a small door on the east wall leading to the main house of Chen family. At this time, the door has been locked. Yulian only goes through the corner door on the south side of the yard. In addition to the small door in the East, there are two shacks made of stone and wood, one for cooking and the other for stacking some sundries. Some common flowers such as rose and peony were planted in the courtyard, and a Begonia tree was planted under the window of the west chamber. But it is also sparrow, although small five dirty!


    Leisurely while looking into the room, although there are only two rooms, but Yulian tidy, it does not seem crowded. Originally the room was a large one, but Yulian bought a bamboo screen and divided it into two rooms. There is a table of eight immortals and two chairs outside. Under the west window is a big desk with red branches and a bookshelf against the wall. There is also a set of round tables and chairs in front of the desk, on which is a set of blue and white tea sets. These are all sent by leisurely people. There was no bed in the room. There was only an earthen Kang under the window. There were two cupboards on the Kang and several bedding on the cupboard. At the root of the north wall, there was a vertical cabinet, and two boxes were placed against the cabinet. Yulian put two thick cushions on it, which suddenly became two seats. Now, Su He and Liu Ye are sitting on it. Leisurely and Yulian are talking on the Kang. In ancient times, even if there were chairs at home, leisurely was used to sitting on the Kang


    They talked for a while, leisurely see cousin moved out for a few days, the face is much better, the heart will rest assured. In her own home, no matter how well she eats and drinks, I''m afraid she doesn''t have the freedom to be the master of her own family, does she? So the heart completely relieved, let the servant girl put down the housewarming ceremony, and then went back. There are not very expensive things. There are two pieces of good Songjiang cloth, a bucket of Yutian japonica rice, a bucket of white flour, a set of dishes, a big bag of dried goods such as agaric, tremella, red dates, lotus seeds, and a can of pickles in the Shen''s Pickle shop. They are all things used at home, which are very affordable. It is this kind of affordable and intimate that makes Yulian feel more grateful.


    Leisurely after returning to think about it, I feel that although the house of my cousin is tidy, I always feel that something is missing. When I saw the chrysanthemums in front of my house, I couldn''t help patting my head. And then people moved two pots of chrysanthemum and two pots of cinnamon, and a dressing table to the cousin. As soon as Yulian had packed up the things leisurely had brought, she heard a knock at the door. When she opened the door, she saw that she was still at ease with her mother Yang. With a smile, she pointed to the things carried by the young man behind her and said, "our grandmother thought of the flower house at home only after she went back. She asked granny Lin to send some pots, which are common chrysanthemums and Osmanthus fragrans. Grandma said it would be better to put it in the room. And this dressing table, which is put in the storeroom, is also a sign of ashes. Please don''t give up and make do with it. "


    Hearing this, Yulian said with a smile, "how can I dislike such a good thing? I''m too happy to go back to thank you for me, master." While saying that, while Yang mother to the house. The two boys carried things in and put them away according to the requirements of Yulian. Yang mother see things are put properly will leave, jade lotus hard to stay, then took a purse fortress to her. Mother Yang quickly waved her hand, "this can''t be used. It''s not going to people''s homes. If grandma knows, won''t she beat me?" Yulian just put it in her arms. "I don''t have much money. I just invite my mother and two little brothers to have a cup of tea. If my mother gives way again, it''s disgusting." Seeing her resolute attitude, mother Yang had to take things away.


    After Yang''s mother returns home, she returns to leisurely and gives her purse to leisurely. Leisurely a see that purse will know that this is Yulian himself, his cousin is really a strong! She said with a smile, "since she rewarded you, you can take it, but you know her family, don''t give up." Mother Yang did not dare to go down with her purse. Even if there is nothing in it, the embroidery of this purse alone is worth a silver or two. She opened the purse and put a piece of broken silver and dozens of copper coins in it, which was more than she had imagined. She left the silver, counted out the copper and gave it to the two boys who were carrying things just now. The two boys never thought that there was a reward for the job. After all, we all saw the aunt''s family. Although the money is not much, no matter how small the mosquito is, it''s meat! Now I took it back happily.

 Chapter 226

    Lin''s mother and Zhuang Shu heard about the news of Yulian''s move, and they both had people send many housewarming gifts. Especially Lin''s mother came from hard times. Knowing the niece''s hardship, she didn''t send those empty headed things, but only sent some things that she could use at home. Zhuang Shu said leisurely that Yulian was reading by herself. She gave her a set of four books and five classics annotated by the great scholars of the former dynasty and a set of excellent four treasures of the study. Yulian can''t laugh or cry at these things. She doesn''t want to take the imperial examination. Why do she want these four books and five classics? However, she would appreciate the kindness. She has been in the Shen family these days, and she has heard Shen Xi say that these books annotated by great scholars are several times more expensive than ordinary books. Therefore, the jade lotus then good life and Zhuang Shu sent four treasures of the study in a box, ready to leave his grandson what, when a family heirloom. She is not willing to use such a good pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Now her daily practice is just using the cheapest paper, which can be used for half a month.


    Yulian lives very close to the Shen family. She lets people send some things to her, and Chen takes care of her. Yulian''s life is gradually on the right track. At the beginning of the year, Ju Zi, who rented her house, failed in the exam, so he took over his family and lived here, preparing for the next exam. So he rented the house for another two years. The price was 40 Liang a year and half a year. With the rent, and Yulian''s daily needlework, she can get seven or eight taels of silver a month, and her wife doesn''t have a big expense, so her life is very nourishing.


    Leisurely is sometimes envious of her small day, really comfortable, but also like the self-reliance of this cousin. Originally, it looked like a patient and submissive man, but in his heart, he was a strong man. Yulianru is getting older this year. She has seen many embroidery girls who have been blind since she was more than 40 years old. She knows the importance of eyes, so she only does needlework for two hours a day. The rest of the time is to read and read. In addition to self-study, she also took Niu Niu, who was less than three years old, to teach her to recite the Three Character Classic and so on. Sometimes read medical books, although there are still many can''t understand, but she bit by bit. Sometimes I would take a book to ask the students in Aunt Chen''s main courtyard. She was distressed that these students left home to study when they were young. Occasionally, they would send some snacks to them, and they would get to know each other as soon as they came and went. Because these scholars are still young and not as pedantic as adults, they are willing to teach her. By the end of La Yue, Yulian had finished reading the thousand character essay and the Three Character Classic, but she only read them twice and recognized them. However, Tao Liang, who is less than three years old, has recited the Three Character Classic thoroughly, and the thousand character essay can recite hundreds of words, which is a surprise to Yulian.


    Even after listening to Tao Liang''s Three Character Classic, she praised her cleverness and told her that "although she is only a girl, she is no better than the previous dynasty. Now the court allows the establishment of female households. Every year, the palace also recruits a large number of talented female officials to serve the empresses and princesses in the palace. It is because of this that many daughters of the common people''s families jump to the dragon''s gate. That is to say, it''s easier for girls to talk to each other as long as they go to school for a few years. Now that taoliang has this talent, don''t bury her. "


    Yulian felt that her cousin was right and nodded, "sister, don''t worry, I only have such a daughter. Naturally, I only hope she is good. She is still young now, and I can teach for two years. When she is older, I will send her to the girls'' school. On the edge of the house where I live is a female master of Wenhua women''s school. Now I occasionally make snacks and send them with taoliang. I just want to make a good relationship in advance so that I can talk in the future. "


    Leisurely can''t help sighing that she really pities the parents all over the world. How old is Tao Liangcai? Her cousin has already considered her future. Looking at the still ignorant Kang Tai, I can''t help wondering if I dote on the child too much?


    Kangtai, who is playing nine links with sister taoliang, seems to feel her mother''s eyes and throw a bright smile towards leisurely. She has no idea that her dear mother is thinking about how to finish his carefree childhood as soon as possible.


    Leisurely smile to Yulian said, "when cousin is OK, just bring taoliang to play, this year is also late, I''m ready to send Xi sister to Wenhua girl school next year." Hearing this, Yulian asked in surprise, "isn''t sister Xi studying in the government all the time? Why do you want to go to Wenhua girl school now? " Leisurely back to the way, "in fact, after several young ladies of the government got married the year before last, only she and the second girl of the second room of the government went to school there. Although there are only two people, at least they have a partner. Now that the master and wife of the second room are all back, they take the two girls back to their own home. Besides, the two girls are all 15 years old. When it''s time to learn from the housekeeper, the girls of the Shen family don''t have to think about becoming female officials, so the two wives won''t let her go. There are few girls in the Shen family in recent years, so Xi''er is the only one left in the girls'' school. As I saw, I told my aunt to let her go to the girls'' school directly. One is to save the trouble in that house, and the other is to let Xi''er go to the girls'' school to meet more new friends. It''s good to broaden her horizons. " Yulian nodded yes. When Shen Ze came back in the evening, he talked with him leisurely and said, "taoliang is only a few months older than Kangtai. Now he has learned the Three Character Classic by heart. Kangtai is three years old this year. Is it time to start enlightenment? " Shen Ze said with a smile, "it''s not too late for boys. It''s not too late to start enlightenment when he turns three next year. But on weekdays, when you have time, you can teach him more. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "I''m busy with the new year''s ceremony these days, and I don''t have much time to care about him. But sister Xi is a child watcher, and she treats him well. Although Xi didn''t teach him the Three Character Classic, she taught him to recite a lot of Tang poems. But the child remembers it quickly and forgets it quickly. He''s very familiar with it today. He''ll forget it tomorrow. " Shen Ze said with a smile, "children are so forgetful. It will be better after two years." The couple said something else, thinking that it would be better to let the boy relax for half a year, they put it down for the time being.

 Chapter 227

    This year''s Spring Festival and Lantern Festival are still in the state of filial piety, so everything is simple. In particular, the families of officials in the capital are very careful and dare not make any mistakes at this time. In the Spring Festival, Enron went back to his hometown as usual to worship his ancestors, and leisurely sent mother yang to take a trip. After the beating of Yulian, Li and Yang''s mother last year, tingran and Xiuyun''s status in their mother-in-law''s family has been much higher. Now their mother-in-law''s family are giving them a good life for fear that one will offend the aunt and end up in the same situation as Zhang''s.


    Zhang Jia was originally Yulian''s husband''s family. His family also had 20 or 30 mu of land, and a textile machine. The third child was a young boy, and he was also one of the few families in Zhang Jia village. It''s just that the family is too short-sighted. If they marry the cousin of the number one scholar, they are not good to others. They force others to work all day. They even refuse to treat their granddaughter when she is ill. They are really stingy. In his early thirties, the old man of his family passed the entrance examination of Tong Sheng. In the past, the whole family was very happy. They all hoped that he would have some fortune as the number one scholar. In the future, he would also win the imperial examination, or he would live in the fuze village of Guangzong. Look at the number one memorial archway at the entrance of Linjia village. How magnificent! Who doesn''t want to marry in that village? It''s said that Lin''s village has won two more scholars this year. I see Lin''s family is up! Ouch, it''s too far away. The third son of Zhang Jia used to look like a man. Who knows how bad he is inside. Who doesn''t know that since Lin got married to his family, Zhang Laosan earned all his money from embroidery. My sister-in-law is so kind to you. If you don''t repay her, she stops her mother from treating her niece. When she sees that her niece is not well, she doesn''t ask for medical treatment. She also urges her family to sell her niece to someone else''s house to marry her in the dark! Conscience eaten by dogs?


    After being known by the county school, Xuezheng adults were very angry. At the moment, they said, "such an unrighteous, unfaithful and ungrateful person is also worthy of an official title?" Zhang Xian, a member of Zhang''s family, also nodded after hearing that: "it should be so. Such a person will be lucky to win the entrance examination in the future. I''m afraid that he will also be a villain. He said that he had to drag down the family and change his official position as soon as possible." At this point, Zhang Laosan''s career has been cut off. Several big families in the original town, seeing that he was a young boy, all wanted to make friends with him. If he went further, he would be willing to take him as the host bed. But now in addition to this kind of thing, who still looks him in the eye? It was the students who had made friends with him before, but now they hid away from him for fear that he would bring them fame. It''s not about fame, it''s just about the things he does. He has no affection for his nieces, not to mention his classmates?


    For a while, Zhang''s reputation and status plummeted. In the past, I heard that the second wife of his family was the serious cousin of Lin Zhuangyuan and Mrs. Shen. They adhered to the principle that more is better than less. These years, they never went to his house to find fault. That is to say, because Zhangjia village is close to Lin''s village, the whole village suffered several times less harassment. Now it''s said that his family and the Lin family have completely broken up. Lin Zhuangyuan and Mrs. Shen personally sent people to handle the separation of the two families. They know that the Zhang family is defeated. Therefore, the leaders, big and small, came to step on it when they were free, and deducted some money. Not to mention, the heaviest and most tired corvee fell on his family. That is, the village is more likely to be troubled by his family. Suddenly, the whole village was dissatisfied with his family. Zhang''s Li Chang was also found by the upper authorities because of the conflict between the two families. Li Chang''s wife was so angry that she came to his house to scold her. This family only now feels that the situation is serious. They thought that this affair was over, and their family also lost money. Isn''t it over? How can things get worse? But what''s the use of regret now? Zhang''s mother-in-law still wants to go to Yulian''s home to have a good life. If she can persuade her daughter-in-law to change her mind, maybe their family can get up again? But what she thought was beautiful. Now the people of their family can''t even get into the village of Lin family.


    As time went on, Zhang''s life went from bad to worse. From a young boy who was full of ambition, Zhang became a commoner who had no fame and no future, and he was also decadent. Even Zhang Laoer was very dissatisfied with his husband and wife, who almost killed his daughter, and his brother, who was away from him. He tolerated his parents'' partiality to the extreme. Niuniu is his first child. No matter how much he likes boys, he also has a kind of sincere love for his first child. But he was always oppressed by his parents and brothers. At that time, when his daughter was seriously ill, he just hesitated for a moment. If he knew that it was just a moment''s hesitation, he would lose his wife and daughter. At the beginning, he would fight with his parents to the end. Especially after Zhang Laosan''s fame was changed, his parents still wanted him to go to the capital to ask his wife and Mrs. Shen, so that the court could restore his fame. Zhang Laoer sneers in his heart. No one in the family cares about his daughter''s life? He was completely disappointed in this family. On the surface, he agreed to the assignment of his parents and asked for five Liang silver from his mother, saying that it was used for management. Zhang Laosan wanted to go with him, but he said, "Niuniu, I''m afraid her mother is disgusting with you. If she gets angry with you, it''s not easy. Why don''t I go and find out the situation first and talk about you when I make her happy? " Even father Zhang said it was a good idea, so it was settled. In the evening, Mr. Zhang went back to his room and took out an iron box from under the blue brick under the bed. There was some scattered silver and copper money that his wife had saved when she was there. It was about seventy-eight Liang. And he found out all his clothes. He felt a navy blue cotton dress, which she sewed for him with the cloth from her dowry when she was there. At that time, her mother seemed to think that she was not generous enough, so she only made it for him, not for the third one. Why didn''t I help refute at that time? This is my wife''s dowry cloth. Why should I make it for my uncle? On weekdays, my mother says that my third brother studies in the town and makes new clothes for him every season. My elder brother and sister-in-law miss that they can make two new clothes every year, but it''s not bad if they can make one in two years. Or after the lady came in, her clothes and shoes were fresh and neat. How could such a good lady and daughter lose them? Zhang Laoer is very regretful. Now he doesn''t dare to see his wife. What''s his face? He chose cowardice when his daughter needed to show up most. Now, he can''t help but plead with her. Just as he was thinking about it, he had put a burden on his clothes, shoes and socks under the woodpile at the entrance of the Hutong. The next day, I got up early and rolled up the bedding and threw it on a big tree outside the wall. I had breakfast as usual, but I didn''t show any mistakes. I also took some dry food from my family and said it was on the way. When Mrs. Zhang saw that he had taken several white flour steamed buns, she was very reluctant. She was afraid that he would annoy him and delay her little son''s future. Can only stiff smile at him with steamed bread and home only a few salted duck eggs, and then swagger out of the house.


    Zhang Jia people thought that he really went to the capital to beg for mercy. The whole family eagerly hoped that he would bring Lin Yulian and her daughter back as soon as possible. Zhang Laosan is anxious to sit at home. Thinking of the ridicule and cold treatment he has received these days, he still fantasizes that when the second elder brother persuades his second sister-in-law to come back, he will take advantage of her mother''s family to make a comeback and trample on all those who despise him in the past. It''s just left and right. It''s been a few days. Why hasn''t the second brother come back?

 Chapter 228

    In the end, the whole family felt something was wrong. Mrs. Zhang went to her second son''s room and found that his bedding was missing. Mrs. Zhang found a piece of paper under her pillow. She couldn''t read, so she took the paper and showed it to Lao San. Zhang Laosan was furious after seeing it. It means that my wife and children were separated because of the partiality of my parents and the ruthlessness of Laosan. My daughter almost died. Now do you want me to plead for you? Good idea!


    Zhang Lao Er can''t read much. He has made mistakes in several words, but the general meaning is right. Zhang Laosan crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it on the ground. He yelled at his second brother and finally squatted down with his head in his arms. He thought to himself, this time I am really finished!


    When the couple saw that the third son had no future at all, they changed their attitude and insisted on the separation of the family. The two old men were not happy at first. The eldest daughter-in-law pointed to her two sons and said, "there''s no future for the third brother, but can''t dad take your two grandchildren with him? Either it''s going to be separated, or I''ll go back to my mother''s house with my two children. " The eldest daughter-in-law used to be a quail. This time, she was really fierce. Even old lady Zhang, who was always fierce, couldn''t hold her. Even boss Zhang is cold hearted to his parents and younger brother. This time, if his children get sick, his parents'' attitude is not as good as that, right? In the past, I only looked forward to my third brother''s success in the future. Now I look like a wolf!


    Zhang''s patriarch was also angry that Zhang''s two elders and three elders didn''t do things properly, so they all stood on the side of Zhang''s elder brother and gave the elder brother most of Zhang''s land and money. As for Zhang''s second elder, would you like to? As long as you want to stay in zhangjiacun, you can''t disobey the arrangement of the family!


    In a word, Zhang''s family is in a complete decline. No matter how unwilling he is, he can only live on his own meager farmland and the help of his parents. He will be twenty years old after he was born. It is common in the countryside that he got married early. Who is willing to marry his daughter to him now? This man has offended the number one scholar. Even his children and grandchildren have to be implicated!


    Seeing the fate of Zhang Jia, Xiuyun and tingran''s mother-in-law dare not be demons. Tingran''s mother-in-law also scolded her daughter-in-law for instigating her, and almost fell into the trap of the black sheep. If I really offend my daughter-in-law, can the number one scholar''s family spare me? The daughter-in-law of Zhang''s family is still a sister next door. The daughter-in-law of Zhang''s family is a serious cousin of others. Fortunately, although tingran is more straightforward, it''s also something that will come.


    This time, leisurely let people bring her several bright clothes and satins. Tingran saw that there was a dark green satin chinchilla skin padded jacket, which didn''t look like a dress for herself. I think that my mother-in-law has been pretty good to herself in the past year, and she often comes to help do some housework after she is pregnant. Besides, there is still the face of my husband there. He took the bundle and wrapped his fur coat with a navy blue leather skirt that he had never worn, a fox hat and a pair of sheepskin boots that he had sewn for his husband, and a sheepskin coat that he had never worn last year. Let my husband carry some dried seafood and a bag of orange to my mother-in-law.


    Tingran said to her husband, "it''s just snowed. It''s hard to walk on the road. I''m not going to go with you because I''m heavy. You take your son and send these things to our parents. " Tingran''s husband looked at the half Kang and said, "didn''t we give this year''s filial piety a few days ago? Why are there so many things? Why don''t you give some to my wife''s family? " Tingran said with a smile, "that''s not necessary. These are all sent by my cousins. This big bag is some rare seafood. You can send some to let my parents have a taste. I can''t do needlework at this meeting. These clothes are selected from those given by my cousin. Don''t let my mother give up and make do with them. " Tingran''s husband saw the fur coat and hat, and knew that they were all good things. He said with a smile, "my parents can''t wear such good clothes in the village. Since it''s from my aunt, you can keep them for yourself."


    Tingran laughs, "I still have. Besides, we can''t wear bright clothes all day, but let our parents wear old clothes.". I gave my father a fur coat that you didn''t wear in the old year. You should wear that rabbit fur first this year, and I''ll make a fox fur for you when I get out of confinement next year. " Although tingran''s husband is also a little annoyed by his parents'' partiality a few years ago, he is his own father and mother after all. In the past, it was just because of her bad face that she was too close to her parents. Now she is happy to see that she is not angry with her parents. So happily carrying things and a big blue silk bundle, he led his son to his parents'' home. Tingran''s mother-in-law knew that she had offended her daughter-in-law before. Even when she heard that her mother-in-law had come to deliver things, she didn''t dare to make do with it. She also gave the eldest daughter-in-law a fierce meal because she wanted to get some cheap things. It''s just that the old couple are somewhat unhappy. When the second son comes with his grandson''s big and small bags, the mood is not to mention how excited. Especially at the end of the new year, the old couple, dressed in the woolly clothes given by their daughter-in-law, looked at the envious eyes of others, not to mention how respectable they were. They were dissatisfied with their daughter-in-law''s idea and flew to Java for a long time.


    Compared with Xiuyun''s family, Xiuyun''s family is much more friendly. Xiuyun''s family is also a farming and reading family. There are scholars for several generations, and the family has its own rules and regulations. Such a family knows more about the value of Xiuyun''s cousins than ordinary people''s families. Therefore, the whole family naturally flatters Xiuyun''s daughter-in-law, and her life is much better than that of tingran.


    Listening to people say that their two sisters are well off, leisurely then relieved. Instead, Yulian took taoliang and Enron back to Linjiacun. Originally, she said she would come back after the Spring Festival. Who would like to come back with Enron later.


    When you think about it, you know that the crux must be the two cousins. It''s just that it''s her family''s chore after all. It''s not easy to be talkative. Just let people send 200 Jin silver frost charcoal and some new year''s day supplies to Yulian''s home.


    Yulian is a conscientious, she got a lot of carefree sister and brother care, but also a gratitude. Although she didn''t have much money, she began to make clothes for the two families since the end of October. He used the best material he had on hand. He even went out to buy the best silk thread and bought a bundle of silver silk thread for trimming. She made clothes, shoes and stockings for you ran, Shen Xi, Kang Tai and Lin Mu, and embroidered a small table screen for Zhuang Shu, all of which are delicate and beautiful.


    At that time, leisurely saw her red Begonia silver thread group hibiscus flower clothes, which were very amazing. In the past two years, her needling time was less, and she felt that she was almost surpassed by her cousin. However, it may be sooner or later. Now I don''t have to rely on this craft to earn money. Naturally, I have no patience and enthusiasm. I just embroider two stitches in my spare time. But cousin Yulian is now painstakingly studying this, and she has borrowed several picture books and embroidery books from herself to figure out how beneficial it is. Sure enough, no matter what kind of skills are "sailing against the current, if you don''t advance, you will retreat."!

 Chapter 229

    Lin''s mother originally wanted to take Yulian and her wife to her home for the Spring Festival, but she was declined by Yulian. She only said that all the things in her home for the Spring Festival were ready and all the colors were complete, so she didn''t go to her aunt''s house to make trouble. Seeing her insistence, Mrs. Lin didn''t think she was so strong before, but since she insisted, it''s up to her. Lin''s mother also knew that if both leisurely sister and brother hadn''t married yet, she might be willing to come. Now it''s inconvenient.


    Generally speaking, the new year has been a little dull and tasteless, but in early March, it''s Chunwei. At the end of the first month, Ju Zi from all over the country rushed to the capital one after another. In particular, Shen''s house is not far from Wenhua academy and Guozijian, and he feels that the surrounding area is full of excitement. Several members of the Shen family also came to Beijing for the examination. Because Shen Ze''s house is close to the Gongyuan, it is quieter than the imperial palace. After meeting Shen Mingchang and his wife, they all came to live in Shen Ze''s house.


    Shen Ze has to be on duty every day. He takes care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation in person. He must make them feel comfortable. It is also after coming to ancient times that leisurely gradually adapted to the value and sense of belonging of people in this era. These people know that you ran is the elder sister of the number one criminal. They also ask her to take a message and visit Enron. Leisurely is to take care of, but after the spring Wei results out, a few people did not test, or let people quite disappointed. However, leisurely looking at the appearance of those clansmen who didn''t put them in their hearts, they felt that they were nervous in vain. It was only in recent years that leisurely gradually realized that her younger brother''s ability to win the first place in the exam was not only based on the face of yundao and Han Dishi, but also on the memory and understanding of the adverse heaven.


    The imperial examinations in the Dakang Dynasty are similar to those in history, but they are different. Thanks to the emperor, in addition to four books and five classics, arithmetic, law, agricultural science and so on accounted for a large proportion of a scholar here. That is to say, the imperial court paid more attention to the practical ability of the students. According to Enron, these people of the Shen family are all right in the four books and five classics, but they don''t have too much money to be successful in the examination, which is a little worse than the arithmetic of agriculture. Today, the Dakang Dynasty has been in Chengping for a long time. This time, more than 4000 people participated in the spring Wei Festival, and the final choice was only 300 people. None of them chose one out of ten, which is much more difficult than the college entrance examination. This is because the court controlled the age of Juren. Since the previous dynasty, the court has not allowed Juren over 45 years old to participate in the examination. This court has also continued this rule. Otherwise, there would be twice as many people coming to Chunwei.


    However, by this spring Wei, leisurely private silver is a lot more rich. It turns out that her dowry fields and shops have made a lot of profits in recent years. After the autumn harvest last year, she took a leisurely inventory of her private house and found that she had 2000 mu more land and two shops than when she got married. Not to mention, she also lost 5000 taels of silver. She thought that it was useless to put the silver in her hand. She might as well take it out and buy some property. She was also inspired by Yulian''s house. When she entered the house, she bought it for only two hundred taels of silver. If she rented it out for one year, she could get thirty or forty taels of silver. But in five or six years, she could recover the capital and lose the house in vain. In this era, if you have money, it is very reliable to invest in real estate.


    Youran originally wanted to buy another village with the money, but there was no good land in the suburbs of Beijing. The land price would be cheaper if it was farther away, but if it was far away, it would be easier for the management to make a difference. Seeing the house of Yulian, leisurely had some ideas in mind. It happened that there was a restaurant at the south end of Wenhua street which had to be resold due to poor management. Because the restaurant is old and dilapidated, and it is sold in a large yard behind it, the price is not low because of its good location. But the house is too dilapidated. If you buy it, you have to repair it. It''s not a small amount. Besides, this place is a little far away from Gongyuan and Guozijian, and it takes two quarters of an hour by car. If it goes two miles further, it will be more dilapidated, and this place will be sold out long ago. That day leisurely happened to pass by. When I saw it, I asked the steward to inquire about it. Later, I went to see it in person. I thought I could start with it, so I spent three thousand taels of silver to buy the restaurant and the ten acres of land behind it. And then directly let people push down the original house and rebuild it. But leisurely did not let people build restaurants or anything, but built two two-story buildings, one for running a bookstore. The other one opened a silk shop and sold some ready-made clothes at the same time. On the second floor, some embroiderers were hired to work here. Moreover, only men''s clothes were made here. To be exact, only the clothes of scholars were made here.


    In the back of the space, she let people build a courtyard with three entrances, but different from the general residential pattern, it was divided into small courtyards. Each courtyard is of different sizes. The largest courtyard has five main rooms with two East and West Wing rooms. The smallest courtyard has only two main rooms and one side room. Every yard, big or small, has its own bathroom system. There are also two wells in front of the yard for tenants to use. It cost leisurely more than 1000 Liang to build the house with some necessary furniture and furnishings in the room. Although the bookshop was not big, it cost her nearly five thousand taels of silver. After all, books were small and expensive. There are also four treasures of the study. A humble Hui ink will cost more than ten liang of silver, which is still the price. Therefore, not everyone can do business in this bookstore. Fortunately, at the end of the year, she made another profit, otherwise she would not have enough money in her private house. Although the yard was built years ago, leisurely didn''t rent a house. It wasn''t until after the year that the local residents came one after another that they took a comprehensive look at the house prices nearby and rented out the small courtyards one by one. According to the size, the monthly rent of these yards ranges from 78 Liang to 20 Liang. Of course, it''s a price that doesn''t cost anything. If you want to eat a ready-made meal, it will cost extra. According to the amount of meat and vegetables, one or two to six taels of silver per person per month. Although it sounds expensive, it''s much cheaper than those Inns on the edge of Gongyuan. The first-class rooms in those Inns cost seven or eight taels of silver a day at this time of year. The rent for a moonlight is twenty or thirty taels, and the food is even more expensive. The rent of the largest courtyard here is 20 Liang a month, but if it is crowded, it is not a problem for four or five fellow villagers. Although the financial situation of the whole family is much better than that of a scholar, most of them are not well-off unless they have rich family fortune. After all, if you come all the way from other places, you''ll have to stay for at least two or three months. In addition to food and accommodation, you need to have a dinner with your classmates and exchange experience with each other? It''s not easy to come to Beijing. Do you have to buy some books that you don''t have in your hometown? There are different customs all over the country. If you want to participate in the literary and poetry meetings, you have to wear two kinds of clothes popular in the capital, right? If you have some spare money in your pocket, you have to buy some special products in the capital to bring back to your family. In addition to the round-trip fare, it costs at least two hundred taels of silver to take part in a meeting examination for all the people near the capital. Those who have a long way to go, I''m afraid the toll alone is more than that, right?

 Chapter 230

    Therefore, although leisurely courtyard is a little far away from Gongyuan, it is full in the end because of the reasonable price. After the end of Chunwei, although some of them checked out, they were full again soon. Someone who is going to stay in the capital and wait for the next section of Chunwei has moved here after hearing about it. After all, the rent of this place is one-third cheaper. In addition, leisurely also introduced a preferential policy. Originally, the two shops had just opened, and everything was sold at a 10% discount. Leisurely stipulated that all students who rent a courtyard should pay 10% discount when they buy things in their own bookstores, and 20% discount when they buy things in silk shops. In this way, although the profit is thin, the business is booming under the condition of small profit but quick turnover. After more than three months, I took a leisurely look at the profits of these shops. I was surprised. It was only a quarter, and I earned nearly 4000 taels of silver. She originally estimated that it would be good if the bookstore could barely support itself in the first year, but she didn''t expect that it made the most money. In February, it made a profit of 1500 taels of silver. However, January and March do not add up to this number, and each month is only five or six hundred taels. Even so, leisurely feels that it is much more than he thinks.


    These shops were not handed over to outsiders. They were handed over to Yang Lu, the second cousin of my uncle''s family. Although Yang Lu was a scholar, he failed in the two examinations. He just said that he was not the material. Uncle also knew that although the second son was clever, he was not as patient as his eldest son, so he went with him. Just after the new year, he came to the capital to visit his aunt''s family, ready to find something to do. Leisurely, you can''t find a suitable person to take care of these shops. When you meet Yang Lu, the second cousin, who is looking for a job, you can make peace with him. Yang Lu becomes the manager of the two shops and the yard.


    Because he was a brother and sister of his own, he didn''t have so many taboos. Leisurely, he directly asked, "second brother, you don''t have a frame for me, can you earn so much money in such a bookstore in a month? I''ve calculated that if the discount is over, those books and other things won''t make much money. "


    Yang Lu said with a smile, "how can my cousin forget that we only sell books, and we still have ink, ink, paper and inkstones? That''s the big money maker! Especially good inkstones and graphite. I took part in the imperial examination myself, don''t you know? Even if it''s simple on weekdays, in order to be more smooth in the exam, it will also be hard to buy a good pen and a piece of ink. A good piece of pine smoke ink costs only one hundred and twenty-six silver. We can sell it for six Liang every day. After discount, we can sell it for four hundred and twenty-eight money, making a net profit of more than three Liang. Even better Huimo earns more, which is nearly ten liang of profit. Those people are not stupid. I heard that our products are cheap, and many of them come from all over the world. And a buy is four or five yuan of a lot of people, even if they can''t use it, give people is also excellent. We could sell dozens of pieces of graphite a day for half a month before Chunwei. That''s a profit of one or two hundred taels of silver. There is the Lake pen, one or two silver a sell the most, a pen is a discount also has two money profit, although the profit is thinner, but sell more, which candidates do not prepare two or three pens in case? At most, it sold more than 400 pieces in one day. But it''s also a bargain for Chunwei. In April, there won''t be so much profit. I estimate that a hundred taels of silver a month will be the best. "


    In this way, plus the income of the silk shop and the rent behind, it is reasonable to have such income. Leisurely nodded and said, "it''s good for me to say so much money. Originally, I was just preparing to earn some money. But I think the profit of this silk shop is much worse than I expected. " She had estimated that the silk shop was the biggest earner. She had to earn two or three hundred taels of silver every month. But she didn''t expect to earn five hundred taels of silver in three months, which was not very small, but it was worse than she thought. After all, how many people were there in Chunwei? On weekdays, I''m afraid they didn''t even make half of the profits.


    Yang Lu said, "we don''t have a big shop. It''s good to make money every month. Moreover, I think the silk shop is in a hurry. The materials are not well prepared. In addition, although there are more students living in this area, the shop also needs some cheaper cotton cloth and so on. After all, when they don''t go out on weekdays to meet guests, most of them are dressed in cotton clothes, as well as the servants around them. These people can''t wear silk. "


    "Leisurely smile" my cousin said that I was thoughtless. But my cousin also knows that these silks and satins are all from the shop of the princess. It''s not easy to change them at will, but there is no ordinary muslin in the shop of the princess. Songjiang cloth is more expensive than ordinary silk. I don''t know if my cousin knows anyone in the cotton business? "


    Yang Lu shook his head. "I really don''t know this one." While talking, Shen Ze came back from the Yamen. Seeing Yang Lu, he said with a smile, "it turns out that my uncle and brother are here. Just in time, someone else gave me two roe deer that I just shot down. I let the kitchen clean them up. I''ll ask someone to invite angel in later. How about we have a few drinks tonight? " Wen Yan Yang Lu said with a smile, "that''s a good feeling. Since I came to Beijing, I didn''t have a chance to go hunting in the mountains. I really like these game."


    When Shen Ze saw the account book on the table, he said with a smile, "you are making an inventory? What about? In recent months, we have made a lot of money? How much money did you earn? " Leisurely smile and stretch out three fingers, Shen Ze smile "three hundred liang? It''s enough for you to make clothes. " On hearing this, the tea in Yang Lu''s mouth didn''t come out. My cousin and son-in-law are really unspeakable


    Leisurely laughed and patted him, then showed him the account book. "You see clearly, it''s more than three thousand Liang, not three hundred Liang." After reading this figure, Shen Ze was a little surprised. In just a few months, such a huge profit is really not small. But when I think of Chunwei only once in three years, I feel relieved. Straight smile way "is really a lot, my former husband afraid you lost money after crying, are ready to fill the hole for you, did not expect to earn so much all of a sudden, the lady is really good at financial management." In front of his cousin''s face, leisurely is not easy to make trouble, only white his eyes, said with a smile, "you talk first, I''ll go to the kitchen to have a look."


    So leisurely he ordered his servants to set up a set of cars to pick up Yang Lu''s wife, Xu''s family, and their two children. He also asked the kitchen to prepare more food and wine, and sent someone to invite Yulian''s mother and daughter. They were busy all the time.


    Shen Ze''s words were not a joke. When Shen Ze saw that she had bought such a piece of land, he thought there was little chance to make money, but it was only three or four thousand taels of silver. It was her own private house, so he held back and didn''t speak. Later, she continued to put in several thousand Liang, for fear that the money would be lost. He didn''t care about the money, or he was afraid of wanyiyihuang. Leisurely, he was not happy. It''s just that it''s not easy to pour cold water on her. I just think that if she loses money, I will supplement her in private. I didn''t expect that now it''s just after Chunwei, half of the original investment has come back. There are not so many people after Chunwei, but Wenhua street, as the most famous cultural center of the Dakang Dynasty, is not a small number of students who come to visit and study every year. With thousands of students from Wenhua academy and Guozijian and elementary school girls of all sizes, it''s more than enough to earn pocket money on weekdays. Although the shop is run by her cousin, the big idea is that she should make her own decisions. When you think about it, the income of your farm has increased by several percent since your wife came in. You can''t help admiring your wife''s way of management.

 Chapter 231

    Just in the kitchen, there are some fresh lotus pods and some fresh grass carp just sent by Chuang Tzu. This season''s vegetables are also complete, and the food is settled leisurely. He went back to the house and changed his clothes. Now it''s finally out of national filial piety. Leisurely, I didn''t dare to wear red for a whole year. Now I always have to make up for it and change my light red dress into a more bright red Begonia. Strange to say, before marriage, she preferred light green, light purple, lake blue and other elegant colors. After marriage, she gradually liked red and orange.


    After changing her clothes, she looked in the mirror at the unevenness of the lipstick on her lips and made up for it again. Since it was a family banquet and there was no outsider, he replaced some heavy beads on his head with a delicate and small Phoenix hairpin. As soon as I had cleaned up, I heard from the maid that my aunt was coming.


    Leisurely hastily straightened her hair and personally welcomed her to the door. "I think it''s boring for you two to stay at home all day. It happens that there is no one else tonight, just my uncle''s second cousin and her two children. It''s all our own relatives, that is, we''ll let people invite you to come over. "


    Yulian said with a smile, "if such a good thing can think of me, I will come." She is holding taoliang in one hand. Taoliang is holding a bamboo basket and holding it to leisurely. Leisurely see her hard work, quickly took over. Tao Liang narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "this is the yam jujube cake made by my mother and I, please try it."


    Leisurely smile, touch her head, said, "smell very fragrant, aunt will eat two more." He handed the bamboo basket to Su He. Su he took it and found a sky blue Ru kiln dish. The white and red yam jujube cake was cut into diamond squares and put on the plate. The servant made another pot of Liubao tea. Leisurely said to Yulian with a smile, "it''s getting hot today, but I don''t like ice. In summer, I prefer to drink some black tea to get rid of the moisture. But the tea tastes a little strong. I don''t know if you can get used to it. Come and have a taste Then he told his mother-in-law to take Kangtai and let him play with taoliang.


    Yulian took the delicate white porcelain teacup and saw that the tea was deep red and yellow. It smelled of a unique aroma. She took a sip and said with a smile, "this tea tastes different from what I used to drink, but it has a different taste." Leisurely thought, isn''t it? It took her a lot of effort to find the tea. In history, Liubao tea did not flourish until the Qing Dynasty. Perhaps because of the butterfly effect brought by the predecessors, it came out ahead of time. However, people here are not used to drinking this kind of tea. Leisurely, when I went back to my mother''s house, I saw this box of ashed Liubao tea in my sister-in-law''s house. Now I was like a treasure, licking my face and asking for it. I remember at that time, Zhuang Shu still laughed at her: "sister, I haven''t drunk any good tea. How can a box of this hook you like that. Last year, his royal highness gave this to his husband. There were only two boxes. One was given to his mother, and the other was this. At that time, I thought it was a good tea, so I let the maid make a pot of it, and then I had a strange taste. If it wasn''t for the prince''s reward, people would have thrown it away. Later, I saw that the small bamboo basket containing tea was well woven and put it on the shelf. But it''s been more than half a year, and the taste of tea has gone away, so I''d better not drink it? "


    Leisurely then said to his sister-in-law with a smile, "it''s OK. This tea is different from others. The older it is, the more fragrant it is." Finish saying, personally bubble a pot on the spot, Zhuang Shu tasted and said, "it''s more comfortable than the last time, but I still can''t get used to it. Since my sister likes it, just take it." Leisurely know Zhuang Shu like to drink Phoenix tea, now also not polite to her, directly took away. It''s said that Lin Mu still has a box. After she asked, Lin Mu asked the servant girl to find out this from the box. She only opened it once and put it there. Leisurely, I just got two boxes of Liubao tea. Fortunately, one box can have one jin. These two boxes can be drunk for a year and a half.


    Speaking leisurely, when I first came into contact with this kind of tea in my previous life, I didn''t like its taste. I felt that there was an indescribable musty smell. Only later did she know that the unique flavor of Liubao tea was called "Cang flavor", which means that the tea was just opened. Just open the package and air it for a while, and the Cang flavor will be gone. Liubao tea, which has all the flavor of Cang, tastes mellow, refreshing, sweet and smooth. And this kind of tea is especially suitable for drinking in summer, has the effect of promoting body fluid and refreshing, relieving heat and eliminating food. And this tea can be thick or light, hot or cold. It''s not like green tea, which is light and tasteless, and it hurts your stomach. It''s not like black tea, which makes your stomach swell when you drink too much. In a word, it''s leisurely''s favorite tea in your previous life.


    After arriving here, people like green tea and black tea. Pu''er also has a certain market. Liubao tea has not flourished for a while. The tea is produced in Guilin county. In the capital of Fujian, there are many officials and businessmen here, so there are few people and officials in Guilin county. This place is what people used to call "the land of barbarians". The former dynasty was originally an independent small country called Baiyue. Later, the royal family of Baiyue was destroyed by Gaozu of this dynasty, and Guilin county was set up here. Maybe it''s because the time of submission is short. The economy and culture there are very backward, right? I just don''t know when I can drink this after the two boxes of tea are finished? Leisurely and Yulian finish a pot of tea, a plate of yam jujube cake also eat 7788, Yang Lu''s daughter-in-law Xu came with two children. Xu is a gentle and quiet person. Her father and brother are both scholars, so they can read a few words and get along well with Yang. She gave birth to two sons, one five-year-old and the other two-year-old. When she was in love with fun, she gathered with Kang Tai and Tao Liang to play all over the yard.


    As soon as Xu sat down and said a few words, he saw that Lin''s mother and Zhuang Shu came with their children in their arms. Several people quickly got up to greet each other. Lin''s mother asked with a smile, "it''s said that your family will hold a banquet this evening, and there are new roe deer to eat. Why do you just think about your brother and forget our mother?"


    Leisurely while holding his nephew to him, he said with a smile, "where can I forget? This evening, I mainly invite my second cousin. I''m afraid I''ll call my mother. My cousin thinks you''ll be uncomfortable if you''re an elder. " Xu quickly waved his hand, "where is it? I''m too late to see my aunt. How can I be uncomfortable?"


    After hearing this, Mrs. Lin pointed to leisurely and said, "listen, it''s all my own women. How can your cousin feel uncomfortable when she sees me? It must be you who are afraid of trouble and don''t want to wait on me. That''s why you make up these reasons. " Leisurely quickly went forward and took Mrs. Lin''s arm. "Well, mother, it''s the daughter''s fault. The daughter shouldn''t be afraid of trouble and don''t invite her. Mother, sit down quickly. Just this afternoon, Chuang Tzu has just sent a basket of newly picked strawberries. She hasn''t had time to send them to her mother." Say to let wench wash thing to carry up.


    In ancient times, there was no pesticide. Although the strawberry was smaller and its color was not as red as before, it was better because it tasted natural and sweet. There were women and children in the room who didn''t like to eat it. After a while, a basket came out. Leisurely said with a smile, "it seems that everyone likes to eat this. It doesn''t matter. It''s just beginning to be colored. It will be more in two days. At that time, my family will send some to you."

 Chapter 232

    Just then, the maid came to report that the banquet in the flower hall was ready, so the whole party went to the flower hall for dinner. It''s all a family. It''s a lot more casual to talk about. We talk about the short family routine, and the time passes quickly. Kangtai met a few small partners, very excited, but also did not eat a few bite to play together. Leisurely see also don''t let stop, horizontal and vertical just ate a few snacks, let them play.


    The little boy is Pishi. The three of them run around the flower hall without stopping. Even the elder brother in Zhuang Shu''s arms doesn''t stop, waving his little hand in the direction of a few kids "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee". Only taoliang sat on the side of his mother and ate with a spoon. Everyone praised her for her cleverness. Xu said with a smile, "it''s still a girl who is sensible and obedient. It''s painful to see taoliang! I wanted to have a daughter when I was pregnant with my second child, and I finally had a son. " Yulian replied with a smile, "my daughter is clever, but when she is old, she always wants to get married. I''m not comfortable to think that we''ve been in the palm of our hands for more than ten or twenty years and that we''ll have to go to other people''s homes to serve our parents in law in the future. So it''s better to have a baby. It''s someone else''s baby who gets married, and you can''t afford to lose anything. " All of us laughed at this. It''s also very reasonable to listen to what my cousin said. Even the girls who boasted of equality between men and women were still the weak side. It''s not to mention that concubines are common nowadays. She had been looking forward to adding a younger sister to Kangtai, but now she hesitated.


    After dinner, everyone said a few words, and then they broke up. A few of them dozed off after playing for a long time. They leisurely sent them to their respective carriages, and sent another car and two stable women to send them back.


    Shen Ze knew that her shop was looking for a merchant to do cotton business, so he introduced a family brother to her and solved her urgent problem. Even at the foot of the emperor, the common people still wear cloth clothes. With the suppliers of cotton cloth, the silk and satin shops are gradually on the track. The monthly profit slowly rises from 230 Liang in April and may to 672 Liang. Although it is not much, for leisurely, the profit of this shop alone is enough for her pocket money. The profits of the bookstores are already very rich. If the silk shops make more profits, they will be in the way of some people''s eyes. What she didn''t know. When her shop just opened, it would rob several time-honored bookstores in the street. At that time, no one wanted to find fault with her. But it''s not ordinary people who can do such a big business in the capital. It''s only after we find out the background of the shop that we''ll stop. Although Shen Ze is nothing in the eyes of some people, there are loyal government and a prince and Princess behind the Shen family. Although those people are unwilling, they have to bite their teeth to share the share.


    When someone inquires about his shop, Yang Lu will not be unaware of it. He tells Shen Ze about it. Shen Ze tells him not to tell leisurely. He entrusts his relationship to make peace with the behind the scenes owners of those shops. The matter is over. Only leisurely didn''t know all about it from the beginning to the end. She thought her business was going well all the time.


    Nowadays, it''s so easy to be born of the Empress Dowager''s national filial piety. Suddenly, more and more people are doing Wedding Events in the capital. Leisurely, these days, they go to every family to give gifts and drink. But Han Jin''s marriage had to be delayed, although Princess Anhui, as a grandson, only needed to keep filial piety for one year. But the emperor and the maidens in the palace have to be filial for three years. Should the palace be decorated for the princess''s wedding? Can your majesty and the queen not show up? Therefore, the marriage can only wait a little longer. Fortunately, both Han Shangshu and Meng are people with good fortune, so they will not be dissatisfied. They say that it is three years, which is 27 months in fact. Now it has been more than a year, and those who have good fortune still have more than a year. Their families can afford to wait.


    During the Dragon Boat Festival, leisurely personally went to the palace to send some festival gifts to Shen Tian. When she went, it happened that several side concubines of the palace were also there. Shen Tian introduces several side imperial concubines to her one by one, and meets her leisurely one by one. Tang side imperial concubine and Zhou side imperial concubine all slant over the body, only received half a gift, only to side imperial concubine seem to forget, sit upright to accept her whole gift. Leisurely also didn''t go to heart, Shen Tian let a person move a chair to her, she thanks a seat, inclined body to sit down.


    As soon as she sat down, she heard her side princess smile and say, "it''s really ''Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived''. We were just talking about Mrs. Shen. It''s a coincidence that Mrs. Shen is coming." Shen Tian glanced at her without any trace, and said with a smile, "it''s nothing. They were very impressed when they saw the little table screen you embroidered for me a few years ago."


    To the side imperial concubine interface way "isn''t praise unceasingly? I''m afraid that the xiuniang in the middle of Beijing doesn''t have such exquisite craftsmanship to embroider such exquisite double-sided embroidery. I''m really impressed by Mrs. Shen''s work. I''ve always liked these exquisite and small embroidery pictures, but I don''t like the craftsman''s taste. I don''t know if I''m lucky enough to have one or two things embroidered by Mrs. Shen herself? " What''s the meaning of this? How leisurely feel this is full of gunpowder! She was just a little uncertain about the intention of the Xiang side imperial concubine. After a little hesitation, she heard the Xiang side imperial concubine smile and say, "why is Mrs. Shen afraid that I won''t give you a thank you? Don''t worry. Although my dowry is not as rich as the princess''s, I can still afford to buy an embroidery. It''s said that Mrs. Shen just opened several new shops a few days ago. I think she must be a little short of money? Mrs. Shen just opens her mouth. For the sake of being a member of the princess''s family, I won''t bargain as much as I want. "


    This is just a slap in the face, leisurely listen to the meaning of her words, guess that it may be related to the two new shops, but the Xiang side imperial concubine also thinks highly of herself. She shook her head to Shen Tian, who was going to be angry. She said with a smile, "I remember I was from the princess''s family! Since I''m from the princess''s family, even if I''m just a civilian''s wife, I''m also a serious in laws in the Liang palace! It''s not the side room. Although the empress is the prince side imperial concubine, may receive the courtier wife the ceremony. But the empress with the body of the side room is in front of the di princess''s face to fall my face like this, excuse me empress eyes still have Zheng Fei? If I remember correctly, is her grandfather the Minister of rites? I don''t know how Xiang Shangshu taught his granddaughter. He didn''t even know the basic level of his family. That is, the serious ladies in the palace are not so arrogant! It''s said that the empress went to her Majesty''s harem at the beginning. Is it because her wish has not been fulfilled that she felt resentful? "

 Chapter 233

    This is really a bit heartbreaking!


    To the side imperial concubine didn''t expect leisurely looking at soft weak appearance, unexpectedly dare to criticize oneself like this, immediately stand up angry way "what are you?"? How dare you blame my grandfather? It''s just a servant girl. I don''t know what means I used to marry the Shen family. Now I dare to be wild in front of me. " Before the words were heard, Shen Tian threw the cup in her hand heavily in front of her. "Enough, to the side imperial concubine, what Mrs. Shen said is right. It seems that there is no royal concubine in your eyes! The princess is still sitting here. You are so rude. Someone will send her back to her yard to reflect on herself. When will she want to know the difference between the two and come out again? " Then a few women came up and shut up the side concubine and pulled out.


    Seeing this scene, Tang side imperial concubine and Zhou side imperial concubine don''t know what crazy Xiang Shi is. Seeing that the princess''s face is not worried, they all leave in a hurry. Before I left, Shen Tian said coldly, "no one is allowed to tell you anything about today. If I know who has no eyes and dares to damage the reputation of the mansion, I will never forgive you!" They shivered and entered the palace for a year and a half. It was the first time that they saw the princess get so angry!


    After they left, Shen Tian said to leisurely, "it''s my lax rule that makes you laugh." Leisurely said with a smile, "what''s that? Our family can''t talk about these, but I see that the side imperial concubine is very unscrupulous! "


    After hearing this, Shen Tian said in a low voice, "if you have a piece of meat in your stomach, won''t you be unscrupulous?" After hearing this, he was stunned. "So it is. Did I say too much just now? I don''t care. I''m afraid the Lord will blame the empress. "


    Shen Tian sneered, "don''t worry. I don''t know if he will blame me in the future. But he won''t blame me for a concubine. This is Xiang Shi''s rudeness, especially his cousin is still the commander of the imperial army with a heavy hand. He will only win over and not blame him. After a while, I''ll ask someone to pick up some valuable gifts. You can just take them away. When the Lord comes back in the evening, if you send someone else to give you something, you can just keep it


    Leisurely smile way "Niang Niang said this, I am not an outsider, but said to open just, which still use serious apology?"? The empress is not afraid of others saying that you only row good things to your own mother''s house. "


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "if you want to take it, you can take it. It''s just something from the public. I''d like to save it, but my Lord is a generous man. If I don''t go to my mother''s house, I''ll take advantage of those concubines, won''t I? " Then he sighed, "do you know why Xiang Shi doesn''t like you? There is also a bookstore in Wenhua street, which is only two miles away from your shop. Mr. Yuan''s idea is pretty good. Since your shop opened, her profit has been reduced by 30%. Don''t you hate her? She also wants to play coquetry with the Lord and ask me to close your shop! I don''t look in the mirror to see what I am. Fortunately, the Lord didn''t mention this in front of me, otherwise I could spit on her face. "


    Leisurely said, "no wonder I don''t like her. It turns out that''s what happened. But if I knew that her shop was there, I would not be able to run her shop even if I lost money!" Shen Tian pointed to her nose and said, "you narrow-minded ghost, I think she is wrong about you. She thinks you are a bully, so she''s going to cut you like that. But I don''t know that you are the most generous. She''s looking for the wrong person this time! "


    After hearing this, she began to laugh, and then she said, "normally, Xiang''s family background should not be so out of proportion. How could she have such a temperament? Is she not Xiang Shangshu''s granddaughter? "


    Shen Tian said with a sneer, "it''s just because I''m my granddaughter that I''m acting just as ridiculous. You don''t know, Xiang Shangshu was born in a poor family. He married a concubine of the Bofeng family in Ding''an at the beginning, and then he got a firm foothold in officialdom. But Fu Bo, the grandmother of the Feng family, unfortunately died in childbirth. Xiang Shangshu married a cousin of his aunt''s family before he could keep his wife''s filial piety for one year. Besides, I''ve heard that today''s Xiang Shilang was born in seven months, but at the full moon, he was fatter than other children. It''s a miracle. "


    After hearing this, I knew there must be something strange in it. I could not help wondering, "Your Majesty is the most disciplined person now. How can you let such a person be the Minister of rites?" Shen Tian shook his head and said, "he''s only been a Secretary for a few years. After all, it''s been decades. If he didn''t want to visit, who would remember such a long time? Xiang Shangshu''s wife is just a few people from the countryside who don''t know big characters. She also insists on learning the style of the old ladies in Beijing and bringing up her granddaughter by her side. What good girl can such an old lady teach? It''s just that we''ve suffered a lot for the Lord of our family. He''s selling such goods! "


    Shen Tian said this, leisurely, but it was not convenient for them to talk to each other. They said that they would have a family meeting. Leisurely then left. When she left, Shen Tian asked people to pack up some brocade boxes for her to take with her, and personally sent her to the gate of Chuihua. Leisurely knew what she meant. Even if there was nothing in her heart, she pretended to be very sad, and occasionally stained her eyes with a handkerchief.


    In fact, she still has some concerns in her heart. It''s been many years. Some people in Beijing still talk about her identity from time to time. She doesn''t feel sorry for herself, but she always feels harassed. After I went back, I was not interested in seeing the things Shen Tian gave me. I directly asked people to put them in my own small warehouse. When Shen Ze came back, she didn''t want to mention it and disguised as if nothing had happened. It is really Shen Ze after all or saw her displeasure, privately asked Liu Ye. Liu Ye tells us what happened in the palace today. Shen Ze clenches his fists after listening to it. He works so hard for the imperial court, so that his husband and wife can be respected, and no one else can look down on his wife? How dare the Xiang side imperial concubine be so rude? Xiang Jia, hum, let your family hang out for a few years, and then there will be plenty of opportunities to clean you up.


    In the evening, when the king of Liang came back to know this, he could not help but help his forehead. When Xiang''s concubine just entered the house, she looked pretty and lovely. He was short of this kind of things, so he was partial to it. I just didn''t expect that as time went on, all the problems of this man would come out. It''s just a side imperial concubine. The king of Liang never expected her to be more outstanding than Zheng imperial concubine, but you and other side imperial concubines should learn to be more comfortable. I didn''t expect to turn around and offend the princess''s family! It''s still Shen Tongling''s wife! Who in the capital doesn''t know that Shen Tongling, though young and promising, respects his wife most. He hasn''t even had a house to live in these years. If anyone says his wife is bad, it''s worse than offending him directly.


    Thinking of this, the king of Liang didn''t care to block the little girl who said he was uncomfortable with the side imperial concubine''s stomach in front of him. He said straight away, "if you are uncomfortable with your stomach, go and pass it on to the government doctor. Is this Wang a doctor? Go back and tell Xiang Shi that the one who lives in Ansheng will stay with us, and don''t let these moths come out again. I''ve got all my sons and concubines. I don''t want the one in her stomach. If she kills herself, I''ll never stop her. " With that, he left with his servants.

 Chapter 234

    When the king of Liang arrived at Shen Tian''s house, Shen Tian was leaning on the concubine''s couch and asked the servant girl to pinch her head. Seeing that the king of Liang came in, he waved the servant girls down and got up to accept a great blessing "I said earlier that we husband and wife don''t have to be so polite." Shen Tian said with a smile, "the Lord is considerate, but I can''t lose my courtesy."


    Outside, a servant girl made tea and brought it up. Shen Tian personally took a cup and put it in Liang Wang''s hand. Liang Wang took the cup and said, "I''ve heard all about today, and Xiang''s family doesn''t know the heaven and earth! Princess, don''t have the same opinion with her. I''ve already sent someone to reprimand her, but I don''t know if Mrs. Shen has paid attention to it


    Shen Tian said with a sneer, "it''s my mother''s sister-in-law who has offended Xiang. If she is angry again, she will have to bear it for my face. Even when she didn''t get married, she didn''t suffer this kind of leisure! After I comforted her, she choked and left. Don''t say that my sister-in-law is now the wife of Sanpin Gaoming. Even if the Crown Princess sees her, she will give her three points of thin noodles. Even now she is still my mother''s servant girl, and she can''t be called by a side imperial concubine! Xiang said that he was just a concubine. He dared to show off my strength. If it wasn''t for her stomach, I''d have her slapped twice. "


    After hearing this, the king of Liang was embarrassed and said, "the princess knows." Shen tianbai glanced at him. "If I didn''t look down on her, I''d think about Xiang''s brain. If I hadn''t cleaned up the mess later, everyone would have known about it. Although it''s early may now, she was embarrassed that day. If someone knew what she was doing, wouldn''t it hurt the reputation of the Lord? "


    Liang Wang quickly said with a smile, "thanks to the princess''s trouble for me, they just sent two boxes of top-quality Beizhu. They are huge and round, not to mention with a touch of gold. I see that only you can match them." Finish saying, let a person go to his study to take thing to come over.


    Shen Tian was glad to see that the beads were really light gold, a box of longan and a box of lotus seeds, and the shape was more round than Hepu beads. It''s two boxes, and each box contains only dozens of beads. Shen Tian knew that if Xiang had not done such evil things today, he would not have known how many of these two boxes of beads could have fallen into his hands! At the moment, he asked someone to take another brocade box, put some of the two beads in it, handed them to the girl and said, "let''s send them to grandma Shen. It means that Wang Ye already knows what Xiang Shi has done, and he feels very guilty. These beads can be regarded as some compensation. Let Grandma wear the right earrings. Don''t give up. " The servant girl agreed to go down.


    Leisurely saw this box of beads, also was proud. The Northern Pearl here is the Eastern pearl which was regarded as a national treasure in the Qing Dynasty. However, the rulers of this time and space did not originate from the northeast region, so although they also like this, they did not have the abnormal situation of the Qing Dynasty. Even the common people, as long as you can afford it, you can wear it. But it''s not easy to harvest after all, and the price is not cheaper than the first-class ruby. Although it''s more valuable, leisurely is very happy to see such a big Dongzhu for the first time in her two lives. The next day, someone took a few beads and went to the silver tower to make a pair of earrings and a pearl hairpin. Shen Ze came back to see her in the evening. He was very happy and relieved.


    The weather is getting hotter and hotter. I don''t know what''s going on this year. The rain is much less and the weather is much hotter than in previous years. Even the emperor''s old man couldn''t hold on any longer. He was preparing to go to the palace of Yangtian mountain for summer. The emperor''s trip was not just a talk. What''s more, he was not the only one, the empress and all the concubines, but also the accompanying civil and military officials, soldiers and guards. There were nearly a thousand people. In addition to the prince to stay in the capital to supervise the crown princess to take charge of palace affairs, the rest of the princes came to Yangtian mountain with the crown princess. Although emperor Longde had a large number of concubines, he always attached the most importance to concubines, and his residence was narrow. Therefore, all the princes only brought their concubines and children here this time, which saved a lot of trouble.


    All the officials above grade three live in different places, and they are allowed to bring their families with them. However, because of the large number of people and the small number of rooms, Shen Ze''s identity is only divided into two yards, a total of about ten rooms. Leisurely originally wanted to ask Lin Mu and Zhuang Shu to come and live together for a few days, but as soon as he saw the house, he gave up his mind, which was too nervous. Their husband and wife, together with Kang Tai, and their servants, also happened to be able to reach them. Instead, Zhuang Shu had a little Chuang Tzu on the mountain twenty miles away. She and Lin Mu lived there with their children. But I pity Enron. I stayed in the capital with the prince of the state, so I had to stay in the capital. Yangtian mountain is the highest mountain in the surrounding area of the capital. After hundreds of years of expansion and maintenance since the palace was built here in the previous dynasty, it is now lush and shady with water flowing through it. It is much cooler than the other side of the capital. In the capital, even a thin blanket can''t be covered at night, but here a quilt is needed at night. It''s really a summer resort chosen by the royal family.


    Leisurely, naturally, I can''t wait for Haosheng to have a stroll. It''s just that in the first few days, according to the order of Gaoming, I have to go to the palace to see the empress one by one. People in the palace will be arranged in order a few days in advance to tell everyone the time to enter the palace one by one. Everyone is waiting in their own yard. It''s not easy to be leisurely and too casual. This is not good in the era of imperial power. Carelessness is a charge of "great disrespect". There is really no human rights. Although I make complaints about myself, I can not afford to show my face on the leisurely face. The families near their courtyard are all third class officials, but they have too many differences in age, which is just a routine walk. It''s four or five days later when it''s leisurely''s turn, and it''s still four or five people going in together. However, Rao is so carefree and grateful, because Gao Ming, who is below grade three, has no chance to follow him to the palace. Empress Meng naturally remembers leisurely. In addition to her routine greetings, she also tells her that she used her method. The two pots of orchids are really alive today, and there is no decline at all. Leisurely smile way "concubine body just said some of their own experience just, when can''t empress praise." It''s just a few words of gossip, which has attracted the other three products to look at leisurely.


    These ladies leisurely did not know each other very well. They turned a blind eye to their various obscure glances. They also tasted the tea from the palace people with great interest. Empress Meng sits on the top, and naturally she can see the small movements clearly. She also praises leisurely''s calmness.


    After a few more words, Queen Meng said, "there are still some palace affairs to deal with in our palace, so there are not many left behind people. A few days ago, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang province brought in some new soft cigarettes. The colors and patterns are all fresh. You can take them back one by one. " The crowd quickly stood up and saluted.


    Then a palace maid came out to lead them to retreat. As soon as leisurely was ready to leave together, she heard empress Meng say, "Madam Shen, wait a moment. We still have something to ask you for help." Leisurely in the heart some uneasy, but still smile to answer a way "is, Minister concubine Zunzhi."

 Chapter 236

    What the kitchen prepares for Kangtai is egg soup with minced meat. It''s a bowl full of meat. The boy can eat it clean. Kangtai is no longer suckling now. It mostly eats porridge soup and noodles. When he is at home, he will let people cook some fresh goat''s milk for him from time to time. After weaning, he doesn''t lose weight at all. On the contrary, he rushes around. After eating the egg soup, he still wants to eat the things on the table. It''s time to take a nap. Leisurely, he''s afraid that if he eats too much food, he won''t let him eat too much. It happened that a plate of saffron fruits, actually tomatoes, was placed on the table. Leisurely, he reached for one and handed it to him. He held it in his arms and grinned happily, gnawing it with his small baby teeth. After a while, the soup of saffron fruit covered Kangtai''s face, and his skirt was not spared. Thanks to a small pocket without sleeves, he didn''t harm the cocoon silk shirt inside.


    After all, he was still young. After a while, Kangtai stopped. He took the saffron from his hand and wiped his hands and face with a wet pad. Touching the back of his neck, although it was cool on the mountain, he was sweating after eating. But just after dinner, it''s not good to give him a bath immediately, just soak in warm water to wipe his neck and back. It''s easy for children to get sleepy when they have enough to eat. Now they are very comfortable when they are rubbed with this warm towel. They yawn and rub their eyes. Leisurely, seeing that he was sleepy, he quickly took some water to rinse his mouth, and then he fell into his mother''s arms to find a comfortable position and fell asleep. Leisurely, he said that he would go to sleep. He was so sad that he put him in his arms and patted him for a while before he put him in the cradle and let him sleep.


    I have been busy for a long time this morning. After walking through most of the palaces, leisurely also felt a little tired, so I changed my bedclothes and took a nap. Several servant girls are skillful. When she gets up, the new bedroom clothes and Bed Tent are ready. Everyone knows her habit. She has soaked and washed her clothes and bed curtains with light salt water, which will be drying outside. In this weather, it was such a light material that it dried out before dark. Liu Ye collected the things in person, and he and Su he changed the light red bed tent on the bed. He looked at it leisurely and felt very comfortable. Summer is hot, or so clear light color, let a person see the heart comfortable. It''s just a pity that this room is royal, otherwise leisurely will learn from Jia Mu and replace the window screen with this one. It''s not that people don''t want to change it, but they don''t want to change it. It''s so wasteful that you can''t take such valuable window screens away like bed curtains! But the window screen of this room should be new this year. It''s emerald green gauze, which matches the blue bed curtain after the rain.


    The days on the mountain are cool and leisurely. Leisurely takes Kangtai to walk on the nearby river when the sun is not poisonous. In those shallow pools near the shore, some small fish and shrimps are occasionally found. At the beginning, he didn''t prepare anything. Kangtai went to fish directly. He didn''t fish anything, but he got wet all over. Later, leisurely asked the servant to make a small fishing net for him, so the young man would take the net and carry a bucket to catch fish every day. Leisurely also don''t want to restrain him too much, mostly accompany him personally, occasionally don''t have free time also let servant girl woman son follow. As for the original two nursing mothers, after Kangtai weaned, they were sent away leisurely.


    The days here are always loose. Leisurely, I often take my children to visit Hans and Mencius. Han''s is just, he always has a little son and three grandsons there. Meng is the age of rare children, but Han Jin has not been married yet. The children of several common women, Meng, treat them only with face. It was Kang Tai who came into Meng''s eyes. Every time I met, I had to hold the fragrance for a long time.


    In the twinkling of an eye, it''s the dog days. Shen Xi''s girls'' school also took a month off to let the girls go home for summer. Leisurely let people take her, and take her and Kangtai to live in Zhuang Shu''s dowry Zhuang Zi for two days. Zhuang Shu''s Chuang Tzu is not very big. There are about 200 mu in total, surrounded by green bricks. The courtyard is about ten mu. It is built according to the water. The houses inside are small and exquisite. The flowers and trees in the garden are flourishing and the winding water flows from the cup. It has some characteristics of Jiangnan gardens. At this time, the festival is the season of lotus blooming. The lotus in the pond blooms just in time, and the breeze brings bursts of fragrance.


    Zhuang Shu see leisurely a strength to look at the pond, then said with a smile, "sister is not easy to come, how about a boat?"


    Leisurely has never been on a boat. Now that he has such an opportunity, he is willing to agree. There had been a boat mother supporting two awning boats on the shore, and the servant girls helped leisurely several to get on the boat. Lin''s mother was seasick, and Mrs. Feng was too old to take a boat, so they stayed on the shore to look after the two kids. Although the two boys wanted to follow their mother, they were still young. They were not safe on the shore, so the adults didn''t want them to get off the ship. Fortunately, there are many new things in Chuang Tzu that attract Kang Tai''s attention. As for Xing Ge''er, after all, he is young and only knows how to follow his cousin. The two boys are playing with each other, and the flowers and plants in Chuang Tzu are playing happily.


    Three people in a boat, shuttle in the lotus pool, Shen Xi is still a childish, standing on the boat to reach for a half open Lotus. Zhuang Shu grabbed her at once. "Good sister, if you want to pick flowers and let them get closer to the boat, it''s not fun to lean out of the boat in case they fall into the water." Finish saying, then let the boat Niang shake the boat to leave that lotus close some. Shen Xi''s servant girl wanted to help her pick it, but she didn''t let her. She reached out and picked the pink lotus that she had just met, and picked two more lotus pods. The servant girls were all amused, and each picked one or two. There are so many people. In a moment, most of the lotus flowers are empty.


    Leisurely can''t help laughing, "there is still a large area in front of you. Don''t worry about it. Look here. There are only some sticks left here. I don''t know. I thought I came in to pick flowers. " All of them laughed. Zhuang Shu said, "there is a white lotus ahead. Let''s go there and have a look."


    People also take the boat meandering forward, some lotus root deep water birds from time to time was startled. On the boat, there was a sunshade, which was not exposed to the sun at all. Standing leisurely on the boat, holding the railings, riding on the humid breeze, watching the green mountains, green waters, green leaves and red flowers, I felt very comfortable. After a while, the pink lotus gradually turned into white lotus.

 Chapter 237

    This time, without Zhuang Shu''s command, Chuang Niang took the initiative to park the boat in the most prosperous place of white lotus. Shen Xi took the lead in holding out his hand and folding a flower bud that he had been optimistic about for a long time. Leisurely see everyone''s interest is very high, also smile folded a white lotus to hold in the hand to play. Suddenly I heard Shen Xi reciting Zhou Dunyi''s the story of love lotus. I couldn''t help but smile. When others see Lotus, they think of elegant things. How can they think of eating them! With so many fresh lotus, we can have a delicious lotus feast. However, it''s always on someone else''s site. Leisurely is too embarrassed to ask for something to eat. She decided to take some fresh lotus with her when she left. Although there are lotus pools in the palace, most of them are red lotus. But when cooking, it''s best to use fresh white lotus.


    At noon, Zhuang Shu set up a banquet in a LiNbO Pavilion near the lotus pond. Although there are no rare dishes such as sea cucumber and abalone, Chuang Tzu''s dishes are fresh and simple, but they have a different taste. One of the old duck soup, stewed clear delicious, especially good to drink, leisurely drink two bowls at a time. I lived here for two days, although I was very happy. But leisurely worried that Shen Ze himself lived in the mountains and no one took care of him, he packed up his things, said goodbye to his mother, sister-in-law and Mrs. Feng, and returned to the mountains with a bunch of fresh lotus flowers and lotus pods from Zhuang Shu.


    This time, Su he didn''t follow him to Chuang Tzu and stayed here to look at the house. Leisurely asked her what had happened in the past two days, Su He shook his head and said, "it''s nothing. That day, the princess came to see grandma. She heard that Grandma had gone to Chuang Tzu at the foot of the mountain. She didn''t want to talk to her about her going to a good place to be at ease."


    Leisurely can''t laugh or cry "where am I going? What''s a good place? Her Chuang Tzu is no bigger or better than her sister-in-law''s. It''s true that the more she lives, the smaller she becomes Su he said with a smile, "the princess is also thinking about grandma."


    "Well, I haven''t seen her for some days. It''s not too late for this meeting. You can pick out some good fruits that I brought back. Then pick out a few neat lotus flowers and send them to her. Tell her if you are free tomorrow, let her come over, and I''ll invite her to a lotus banquet myself. "


    After all, it''s not my home. It''s inconvenient and the place is too narrow. Otherwise, I''ll invite Meng, Han and others to sit down. This meeting son, she also just let a person will bring back of fresh fruits and vegetables and fish shrimp chicken duck and other things to two people sent a past.


    After hearing Su he''s words, Fang Xinsu immediately said with a smile, "your grandmother has many ideas. Since she sincerely invited her, I naturally have to give her face and tell her that I will go tomorrow so that she can be ready for life." Then he asked someone to take a big vase, put the lotus and two lotus pods that Su he had brought in, put them on the Bogu shelf, and said with a smile, "there is something fresh in this room at last."


    The next morning, Fang Xinsu got up early to dress up, and surprised Qi Heng, "what''s the matter with you today? Why did you get up so early? " Fang Xinsu doesn''t have her mother-in-law to wait on her. Qi Heng doesn''t care about her either. She always sleeps until she wakes up naturally. This meeting son listen to husband tease oneself, angry way "nothing can''t get up early?"? Thanks to me, I''ve made lotus leaf Soup for you Qi Heng quickly coax way "I so casually a say, as long as you are willing, how to go." He coaxed Fang Xinsu with a lot of good words.


    Fang Xinsu had breakfast and sent Qi Heng away. After a little cleaning up, she let the nursing mother take Chen Ge''er to leisurely here. Leisurely hearing the news, he quickly took Shen Xi and his servant girl to the second gate. "You''ve come very early. Did your brother come in the morning? How early I got up! Kangge''er has played a little too much in the past two days. He hasn''t woken up yet! "


    On hearing this, Fang Xinsu said, "still talking! You don''t call me when you go to play in Chuang Tzu outside. I''ll treat you as a confidant on weekdays. " Leisurely back to the way, "we are not going to my family''s Chuang Tzu, originally our mother several go already enough to let my sister-in-law busy.". With you as a princess, shall I go to relax or suffer? "


    Fang Xinsu patted her on the shoulder with a fan. "You have many reasons. For the sake of inviting me today, I won''t care about you! But since you invite me here, you have to bring out some new things. Don''t fool me with some ordinary things. " Leisurely smile "OK, wait until you have eaten at noon." Two people carry each other into the room to sit down, Shen Xi know machine with morning brother to play in his room. The maid brought tea. Fang Xinsu opened the lid and found that the tea soup was reddish brown. She couldn''t help frowning. She never drank black tea. Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s not black tea, it''s Liubao tea in Guilin. It''s warm and it doesn''t hurt your stomach. I heard that your spleen and stomach are not feeling well these days. Drink less tea. Try it and see if you can get used to it? "


    Fang Xinsu knew that she meant well, so she took a sip from her cup. The taste was not as bad as she thought. On the contrary, it was different from green tea and green tea. She finished one and asked, "what kind of tea is this? I haven''t drunk it before


    Leisurely back to the way, "it''s produced in a small place called Liubao over there in Guilin county. Maybe people in the capital can''t get used to it, so it''s rare in the market. I had a drink once in a while and thought it was good, so I asked someone to go to Guilin commercial bank to look for it, and finally found a few boxes. If you''re used to it, take a box back later. I haven''t brought much here. I''ll give you more when I get back to Beijing. "


    They were drinking tea and chatting about home affairs. It was soon noon. The servant girl came back and said, "lunch is ready. Please show me where it is."


    Before leisurely could answer, Fang Xinsu said, "what''s the fun of being in a room in such a weather? I think there is a stone table under the wisteria tree in your yard. Let''s eat there. "


    Leisurely thought about it and said, "now that Wisteria flowers are falling, what''s good? There are the most mosquitoes under that tree. When we go there, we can''t prepare to feed them? " Without waiting for Fang Xinsu to reply, Su he said, "grandma doesn''t have to worry about this. My maidservant has already prepared that the masters may come to sit down and clean up the piece and smoked it with wormwood. "I don''t have a mosquito."


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile to Su He, "your master has become more and more tired and lazy since he became a relative. But you girls are kind of considerate at the beginning."


    Su he replied with a smile, "thank you for your praise. Sharing your worries and solving your problems is what the slaves should do. If you let the master do everything by himself, what''s the use of keeping the slaves?"

 Chapter 238

    After hearing Su he''s words, Fang Xinsu exclaimed, "tut Tut, your master doesn''t know how to teach you? All of them are diligent and capable. They are all so eloquent! I really like it. Why don''t you come with me? "


    Knowing that Fang Xinsu was joking, Su he replied with a smile, "princess, I''m flattered. My maidservants are all around my grandmother. They just learn from her. I''m afraid it''s not the maidservants that I''m looking at. I''m afraid it''s my grandmother, isn''t it Fang Xinsu covered his mouth with a fan and said with a smile, "isn''t it? Your servant girl is really in my mind. If I were a man, I would have married your grandmother. What''s the matter with Shen Tong? " All the people who said this began to laugh.


    In this time, there had been a little maid and a woman who had already cleaned up the stone tables and chairs. The table was covered with soft Hangzhou silk tablecloth, and the stools were also covered with thick brocade cushions. The woman in the kitchen has brought all the dishes and is setting the table.


    The maid brought water from a copper basin. Fang Xinsu cleaned her hands with water and wiped them with a soft handkerchief. She smelled a faint smell of lotus on her hands and said with a smile, "you are really a lotus feast. Even the water has a lotus fragrance." Leisurely said with a smile, "don''t underestimate the water. The water is filled with lotus dew fumigated with fresh lotus leaves and lotus flowers. If you don''t smell the fragrance, don''t you think you will feel moist when you clean your hands?"


    Fang Xinsu didn''t pay much attention just now. He touched his left hand with his right hand. "It seems that you really have a little bit. How much more? Bring me one later. " Leisurely did not have the good spirit looked at her one eye, "altogether only loaded two small cans, you want to like, points you one pot just many.". When cleaning noodles and hands, just scoop a spoonful in the basin. A can can also be used for a period of time. I''ll give you more next time. "


    The stone table is too high for children to sit on. Leisurely originally wanted them to go to the house to eat, but Kang Ge''er didn''t go. Chen Ge''er was just like that and started to make trouble. Leisurely while laughing and scolding, let the maid spread a thick blanket and bamboo mat on the floor of the corridor, put a small Kang Table on it, picked up some children''s favorite dishes and put them on it, so that the two little ones could sit on the mat to eat. The two kids were eating and playing, and soon they were full of oil. After they were full, their own servant girls and nursing mothers took them down to wash.


    Just now two little guys were here. Fang Xinsu was worried about his son and didn''t take a good bite. Now the nursing mother took her son down to enjoy the feast. She said to leisurely with a smile, "not to mention the taste of this dish, just watching it is pleasing to the eye. Are so many dishes made of lotus? "


    Leisurely nodded, "since it''s called lotus banquet, naturally it''s all made of lotus, but some dishes are just made of auxiliary materials." After that, he pointed out to Fang Xinsu one by one, "you see, this is the lotus hand shredded chicken, this is the lotus seed buttoned meat, this is the lotus leaf steamed meat, this is the jujube paste lotus leaf roll, this is the cuiniao jade petal, and finally this is the snow mountain ice lotus. How''s it going? "


    Fang Xinsu pointed to the jade petal and asked, "you can see it from other people, but I don''t quite understand this dish. What is it made of?" The bottom of the dish was covered with a green lotus leaf, and a real lotus was placed in the middle. Around the lotus, there was a long ring of golden petals wrapped in batter. I couldn''t see what it was made of.


    Leisurely smile with a chopsticks clip a piece into her bowl, "this is with fresh just opened lotus petals, water boiled and then wrapped in paste fried, you try." Then he gave Shen Xi another piece. Fang Xinsu really tasted it and said, "I thought the fried food would be very greasy, but I didn''t expect that it tasted good. It was fragrant but not greasy, and it had the sweetness of lotus. It was really good!" Then he said to Shen Xi, who was eating delicious food, "you are a good girl. If you have a sister-in-law who knows how to eat, do you usually eat good food? Look at your little face. I''ve seen a girl whiter than you, but I''ve never seen a girl whose skin is more delicate and watery than you. Ah, it''s better to be young! " Shen Xi is a little shy. He leaves the table with a red face and goes to play with his two little brothers.


    Smell speech, leisurely white her one eye "see you this is what words?"? Like how old are you? However, I see that your face is a little dark and yellow, but what''s wrong with you these days? " They were familiar with each other, so leisurely they asked directly. After listening to her words, Fang Xinsu blushed, bit her lip gently, and then whispered a few words to her side. Leisurely listened to eyebrow a pick "originally is such, have you ever seen too cure?" Fang Xinsu beat her for a while and said in a low voice, "how can this kind of disease be seen by the imperial doctor?"


    "It''s said that there are medical women in Taiyuan hospital now? It''s not easy to find a doctor. It''s OK to find a medical woman. " Leisurely some take it for granted.


    Fang Xinsu also said, "the medical skills of those medical women are not up to standard, and what they will learn are just Taiping prescriptions, not right. I''m afraid that when I look for them, the whole capital will think that I''ve got some complicated diseases! "


    Leisurely frown "not as serious as you said? I heard that there are many gynecological doctors in the Department of imperial medicine. If everyone avoids this, who will go to see these doctors? " Fang Xinsu said: "the so-called good at Gynecology, basically also are some ability to maintain the fetus. Like me, it''s not easy for women to talk about it. What''s more, men and women are different. Who can discuss this with the imperial doctor? Since then, this disease is mostly brought about by the elders around us or the old people who have accumulated years. They can get some folk prescriptions and take some medicine. Whether it''s good or not, it''s just life! " This kind of disease is really nothing in the future. It is estimated that a box of anti-inflammatory drugs can solve the problem. I didn''t expect that fangxinsu''s noble identity would be troubled by it. She had never heard anything before when she was with Han. She thought that the ancients had less of this disease. Now it seems that I took it for granted! However, most of your wives are reluctant to see a doctor. If they are women in a civilian family, they have no money to see a doctor. I think many of those young women who died early or in childbirth were due to these hidden diseases.


    Hearing Fang Xinsu''s pessimism, leisurely, she said, "what''s life? That''s bullshit! I listen to you, this disease is not a major symptom, I think it''s not a big problem. It''s a pity that I''m not very proficient in medicine, but my cousin, who is separated from me, has some talent in medicine. A while ago, I was able to learn the art of Astragalus by worshiping the compassionate nun of Heshan hall. We won''t be able to stay on this mountain for long. Why don''t we wait until we get back to Beijing and let my cousin show it to you? "

 Chapter 239

    Seems to see her hesitation, leisurely and placate way "you don''t worry, my cousin is a reliable.". What''s more, we''re not asking for a doctor. We''re just talking about our family together. What can others say when they know? "


    After hearing this, Fang Xinsu put down her mind. It has been bothering her for more than a month, and she has been suffering intermittently. But Zhang''s mother is old, and her body has not been happy. Fang Xinsu doesn''t want to bother her with these things. All the servant girls around her are big yellow girls, and she can''t say that. She really didn''t know who to discuss this with. She just asked leisurely, and she trusted leisurely''s character. I didn''t expect her to help with the diagnosis and treatment. I just said it to ease my heart. I didn''t expect leisurely to recommend a female doctor to her. Although she had read several medical books and prepared some medicine by herself, she was only slightly relieved and did not go to the root. If leisurely cousin is really good at this, she really solves her urgent need.


    Thinking of this, she said to leisurely, "it''s only June 20 today. As a rule, Shengjia doesn''t start until the end of July. Can we still be ahead of Shengjia? Good sister, I''m really sad. Why don''t I send someone to pick up your cousin for a few days? "


    Leisurely see her pathetic look, had to nod should be "well, I''ll send someone to the capital to see, as soon as possible to pick up the cousin."


    It was dark when Yulian received the letter. She thought that nothing had happened recently. Since her cousin sent someone to pick her up, it would be good for her to take her daughter to the place where the Royal Summer Resort is located to open her eyes. So I made a plan with the Shen family. The next morning, I came to pick up the Shen family. Yulian went to talk about it with everyone Chen and asked her to take care of her family. Everyone Chen was very busy.


    Sure enough, the next morning, the Shen family''s carriage was waiting at the door. They were met by the common mother Li and a little servant girl. Yulian took a rattan box and a burden she had packed up and took taoliang to the carriage.


    It took about half an hour for the carriage to arrive at Yangtian mountain. There was a garrison at the foot of the mountain. The coachman took the Shen family''s post and the garrison officers and soldiers released it. After another level, the carriage arrived at leisurely''s house. Of course, the guard of the palace is more strict. From here, if you want to carry out the palace, you have to go through two checkpoints and the check of the palace guard.


    Leisurely yesterday let people put Shen Xi that small courtyard of the two West Wing room put out to their mother two live. When they heard that they were coming, they went straight to the second gate and welcomed them in with a smile. "I wanted to invite you to come here with me, but I didn''t know the size of the room, so I didn''t invite you two rashly. Now it''s settled down. Although the room is a little narrow, it can live well. That''s why people come to pick you up. If nothing else, the mountain is cooler than the city. "


    Yulian said with a smile, "yes, I feel it at the foot of the mountain. When I get up here, I feel cool when I just get out of the carriage. It''s much more comfortable than the capital."


    Leisurely nodded with a smile, "I''ve already had people cook hot water. You''ll come all the way here to clean up and change your clothes. I''ll show you around in the afternoon."


    When Yulian is finished, leisurely has already had her lunch arranged. She also specially asked people to steam an extra bowl of meat foam egg soup for taoliang. Kangtai, who hasn''t seen Yulian for a long time, is a bit of a stranger. He has a good time with taoliang. Taoliang is only a few months older than Kangtai, but he acts like a little adult and takes care of Kangtai.


    Leisurely read and praised the way "or daughter sensible, peach Liangcai so big will coax the younger brother." Yulian looked at her and said with a smile, "this child is also half mental and half confused. When he is sensible, he can be loved to the bone. But if you''re naughty, I''d like to put her back in my stomach. "


    Leisurely said, "how old is she? She''s still a baby. What else do you want to do? I see that the child will be a clever and sensible one in the future. "


    Yulian replied, "I think you like girls, too. Kangtai is older. Why don''t you have one yourself?" Leisurely smile back way "you are talking about my heart, I also think so." After lunch, leisurely let the servant girls remove the table, and let several big servant girls go to have dinner. The two little ones had already been taken by Shen Xi to play in the yard. They took Yutan''s hand and sat on the Luohan couch. She said to her, "in fact, in such a hurry to let you come, there is something to bother you."


    When Yulian went up the mountain, she saw that the guard was so strict. She had already guessed that if there was nothing wrong, her cousin might not let her come here. So smile back to her "I''m not an outsider, you just say something, why the whole so polite?"


    Leisurely low voice way "this if my own business just, have what embarrassed, but involve others.". Have you heard of Princess Le''an? It''s the princess of Rongjun. She and I have always been good friends. Yesterday she came to see me. When I saw that she was not looking well, I asked a few questions casually. Who would have thought that she secretly told me that she was not comfortable, but her identity sounds valuable, but I don''t know how many people are watching her words and deeds. If you ask a Taiyi or something about it, others don''t know how hard it is to hear! I think your medical skills have greatly improved now. It''s better for you to show her secretly than for her to use drugs at random. "


    To say, since that time, Yulian helped Chen''s daughter prescribe several prescriptions to cure her palace cold and let her conceive the baby smoothly. Around the little daughter-in-law girl heard, often someone quietly to ask Yulian to see a doctor. Yulian, who came and went, saw more patients. Besides, she was born and raised by herself. She could guess some things even if others didn''t tell her. She also had some experience in gynecology. After listening to this, she said, "it''s the matter. Since you can trust me, I''ll try my best. That''s because my ability is limited, I can''t solve my troubles, and I will never go out to huqin."


    Leisurely clap her hand, "I can trust your character."


    At noon, Fang Xinsu sent a servant girl to send a message to leisurely. She said that she would hold a banquet at home tomorrow to entertain leisurely. It was a return banquet. Leisurely smile to come to humanity, "your master kindly invited me, I should not have said goodbye, but it happened that I had guests here, my mother''s cousin came here to stay, I can''t let the guests at home."


    The visitor obviously had to be charged, and then he said with a smile, "what''s the point? There is no outsider in Hengli. Except for grandma and auntie-in-law, there is only the Xiang girl of the Shen family. Grandma just goes there with her. Our master is so bored that he wants to talk to someone from outside


    Leisurely then said with a smile, "in that case, tomorrow we will go together."

 Chapter 240

    To the next day, leisurely with Yulian, Shen Xi and a group of servant women who mighty to fangxinsu here.


    When I saw Fang Xinsu personally meeting at the chuihuamen, I said with a leisurely smile, "Oh, how can I be so embarrassed that Princess Lao is here to meet her in person?"


    Fang Xinsu shook his fan with a smile and said, "beautiful you, I heard that you came here with guests today, so I came out specially. How can you have such a big face just by you?"


    Two people used to joke, leisurely also don''t care, besides Fang Xinsu although said so, but which time she came here. Now she introduces Yulian to Fang Xinsu with a smile. "This is my mother''s cousin. Her name is Yulian. You call her lady Lin The jade lotus hurriedly made a gift "has seen the princess empress." She has been in the Shen family for more than a year, and has learned some rules and etiquette, so she won''t make a fool of herself here.


    Fang Xinsu quickly helped himself up, "you''re welcome." Smile again to leisurely say "since your elder sister, nature is also my elder sister, nature is not so born cent, quick, inside please."


    Yulian was still a little uneasy in her heart. What kind of princess always exists in the drama. Before seeing Fang Xinsu, I couldn''t imagine each other''s demeanor. Now, when I see her, she is as graceful and beautiful as a fairy in a picture. What''s more, she has no royal airs. She is so approachable. All of a sudden, my heart gave birth to infinite favor.


    After sitting in the room, leisurely pushed taoliang to the front and let her kowtow to Fang Xinsu. Fang Xinsu quickly asked the servant girl to help her up and bring her to her side. Speaking of it, most of the sisters around her are children, but I haven''t seen such a big girl for a long time. Also see Tao Liangsheng''s Jade Snow lovely, the person is also clever to understand the ceremony, like very much, quickly signal servant girl to take the table ceremony.


    After a while, the servant girl brought a tray with red paint and Begonia pattern, and there were several things on it. Fang Xinsu reached out and picked up one of them, which was inlaid with seven treasures in red gold. Under it was a name sending lock of Hetian jade. It was really pearly. Fang Xinsu put it on taoliang''s neck and said with a smile, "it''s better to be a little girl. She looks pretty and cute, unlike boys who are naughty."


    Yulian thought that the gift was too expensive, but leisurely gave her a wink, and she just laughed to thank her.


    After a while, Shen Xiang came. Her father had already got another job in Beijing, but there was no share in such a favor as accompanying the palace. This time, Han brought her. Fang Xinsu had some feelings of apprenticeship with her, which was very different from other people, so he took her to live with her for a few days. For example, the two concubines in Prince Rong''s mansion were not so lucky. Fang Xinsu despised them for thinking too much. This time, he directly ignored their expectations and didn''t bring any of them. Qi Heng and their feelings are also general. Naturally, it''s up to her.


    Shen Xiang usually goes to Shen Xi to play, but he is very familiar with Yulian. When they met each other, Fang Xinsu said to them with a smile, "you two look bored. Go out and find a place to play. Don''t sit here." The two sisters had this idea for a long time, but they were too embarrassed to say it. Now they listen to Fang Xinsu, but they don''t care if everyone laughs at them. They go out to find a place to whisper hand in hand. A few small ones are also making a fuss about going out to play, so Fang Xinsu asked the nursing mother and the women to take them to the garden.


    Then he said with a leisurely smile, "all the servant girls around me come with cars all the way. After standing like this for a long time, I ask the princess to be kind and find a room for them to rest and have a cup of tea."


    The square heart element slants her one eye "you feel sorry for own servant girl." Then he said to the servant girls around him, "do you hear me? I''ll take all my sisters to the next room and wait on them with good tea and snacks. Otherwise, you grandma Shen will be distressed."


    A few big servant girls are not stupid, all feel that the master seems to have something private. At the moment, there was a screen smiling and saying, "in that case, sisters, come with me quickly." Then he personally took a few willow leaves out. The rest of the big servant girls also took the little ones back out, and Liuli kept himself under the corridor in case of idle people waiting. Then, Yulian sat down beside Fang Xinsu, took her pulse carefully, and asked a few questions in a low voice. Then she said with a light smile, "it''s not a big symptom. You can rest assured. I''ll prescribe a prescription, some for internal use and some for external use. As long as I take the medicine on time, I''ll be fine for two months at most. " Fang Xinsu just breathed a sigh of relief, and listened to the jade lotus whispered, "but it''s better not to have the same room in this month."


    Smell speech, square heart plain face a red, young husband and wife is love time. This, how should we talk with Qi Heng? Fang xinsutun was in a bit of trouble, but it was related to her health, so she had to agree.


    Although there are still some tangles in my heart, Fang Xinsu is happy to see that the condition has improved. Turn to leisurely to talk about the latest gossip. Yulian doesn''t talk much about it. She occasionally talks about some interesting things in the street. It''s another kind of amorous feelings with Fang Xinsu. She is willing to listen to it. At one time, a few people get together, but also quite harmonious.


    At noon, Fang Xinsu had a table prepared to entertain several people. The banquet is located in a waterside pavilion near the water, which is cool and eye-catching. Fang Xinsu likes to listen to operas. Naturally, the palace has its own troupe. This time, she also brought some of them here. During dinner, she asked these little actors to perform a new opera. The banquet in the palace is not comparable to leisurely family dishes. Leisurely eat more didn''t feel what, but at the beginning of the jade lotus is a little at a loss. Fortunately, several people are sitting at separate tables, others are busy listening to the play, and they don''t pay much attention to her. She looked at the first mock exam in a dark way, and did what she did to imitate each other. Until the servant girls came forward to take the rest of the meal away and put on the tea, Yulian was secretly relieved.


    After lunch, several people got together to talk and chat, and the big servant girls beside them were really busy. Then when the sun set in the afternoon, leisurely and his party left and went back to their home.


    Fang Xinsu saw them off and went back to his room, leaning on the beauty couch. She always has the habit of taking a nap. Today, if she doesn''t take a nap, she will feel very sleepy. It''s just that it''s getting dark. I''m afraid I can''t sleep at night. So I just closed my eyes on the couch. The maid crystal took a beauty hammer and beat her leg gently.


    The screen hurriedly lifted the bamboo curtain and came in. Seeing this scene, she thought she was asleep and was just ready to go out. Fang Xinsu yelled, "what''s the matter, in such a hurry?"

 Chapter 241

    Fang Xinsu opened his eyes and looked at the screen. The screen bit his lips and knelt down in front of Fang Xinsu. Fang Xinsu and crystal were startled. Fang Xinsu frowned, "what''s the matter? How can a good man do this great gift? Crystal, don''t help your sister up. " Then he sat up and looked at the picture screen. He thought that she had something to hide. He joked, "did you change your mind and suddenly want to get married?"


    "Is a slave the kind of person who goes back on his own? I''m sorry for the girl. "


    Fang Xinsu pick eyebrow "wronged for me? What''s going on? Let''s get this straight. " The screen lowered her head and said, "it''s aunt Jinluo. She''s afraid she''s already pregnant."


    what?


    Hearing this, crystal was surprised and said, "no? Sister Huaping, it''s not easy to talk about such things. " The screen pursed her lips and said, "I didn''t think about it before, but after I came here, I lived in the same room with her. I saw that she always dozed off without saying, and often had acid vomiting after eating. The maid once advised her to find a doctor to have a good look, but she said that she had already been seen by the government doctor when she was in Beijing, but there was something wrong with her stomach. I''m also afraid that her illness will be delayed. Today, lady Lin comes. Knowing that she knows some medical skills, I quietly ask her to help sister Jinluo to have a look. As a result, lady Lin told me in private that her pulse condition was very similar to slippery pulse, but she was not proficient in medicine and did not dare to assert it. But the maid thought that she had been in the mountain for more than a month, but she didn''t change her clothes. Then she knew that lady Lin''s words were true in all probability... "The rest of the words were not good for an unmarried girl.


    Crystal is still a little hazy, but fangxinsu understands it. Jinluo was given to her by the Empress Dowager. Although she didn''t have 100% trust, she was always the most respectable maid in her side because of the relationship in the palace. The most important thing is that Jinluo always only lives in the inner courtyard, no matter in the royal palace or the palace, and has few opportunities to contact the outer men. Can avoid people''s eyes and ears pregnant with a child, the child''s father''s biggest suspect, can only be Qi Heng.


    It''s not 100% sure, but it''s also very close. Fang Xinsu let people torture a young man in the front yard, and finally know the truth. Jinluo really has an affair with Qi Heng.


    For a moment, Fang Xinsu was a little frustrated. It has been nearly three years since they got married. Qi Heng''s former Tong Fang had been dismissed before they got married. When she was pregnant, Fang Xinsu didn''t arrange a room for her husband like a common noble girl, and Qi Heng didn''t show that.


    She once thought that her husband was different from the man beside her. But now, the fact tells her that everything is just her wishful thinking. Now think about it, even if my parents were so kind, my father still had several aunts to go through the house? And so is my uncle. As for her biological father, not to mention, even though there are not three thousand harem beauties, there are more than thirty who are alive and famous.


    Just, everything just as a delusion of their own it, not everyone has leisurely so lucky, can find a dedicated husband. I hope her happiness can be longer. Only in this way can she believe that there is true love in this world.


    Even if you can''t have that kind of happiness, it''s also a kind of happiness to watch others have it.


    After all, it''s not a glorious thing. Fang Xinsu didn''t make a fuss about it. But on the second day, he sent someone to invite leisurely and Yulian to stay in Chuang Tzu at the foot of the mountain for a few days. Leisurely didn''t think much about it. She thought that she was looking for someone to live in. She went to Chuang Tzu to take care of herself. Shen Ze just returned to Beijing these days. They were bored here, so they left a few servants to take care of the house. They packed up their things and went to her Chuang Tzu with Fang Xinsu.


    Fang Xinsu''s Chuang Tzu is a private property left to her by the Empress Dowager. It is about 50 li away from the palace and covers an area of more than 1000 mu. Among the many other courtyards in Yangtian mountain, it is the bigger Chuang Tzu. Last night, some servants came to Chuang Tzu and uploaded the news. They had cleaned up the houses in Chuang Tzu and made them new. It was almost noon when the party arrived here. After the allocation of the yard, they washed and got together in the front hall for dinner. Chuang Tzu''s food is not as exquisite as that in the palace, but it is more natural and fresh, and it has a different flavor. One of them is a soup dish. It''s fresh and refreshing. I like it very much. I ate most of it by myself. Everyone got up at dawn in the morning to pick up and go on their way. They were a little tired at this meeting. After lunch, Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "everyone must be tired after sitting in the carriage all morning. We''d better go back to our yard to have a rest. We''ll go out again when the sun is out in the afternoon." Everyone said yes with a smile.


    So they all went back to their yard. Although there are many courtyards in other hospitals, most of them are scattered. Apart from Fang Xinsu, who has many people around him, he lives in a yard alone, and other people live in pairs, so he has a companion. Shen Xi and Shen Xiang sisters want to live in the same yard. Leisurely, they take Kang Ge''er and Yulian''s mother and daughter to live in the same yard.


    Fang Xinsu didn''t say anything, but she had been with her for many years. Naturally, she saw something in her heart. But she did not say, leisurely did not ask. Sometimes, even friends don''t have to ask each other''s thoughts. She will say it when she wants to.


    Fang Xinsu didn''t say it, but Huaping didn''t resist it. He took the opportunity to send melons and fruits to leisurely. Leisurely know after frowning, this kind of things between husband and wife outsiders is the most difficult to intervene. If this is in modern times, leisurely and Fang Xinsu can curse Qi Heng fiercely, and then they should vent their anger and divorce. However, in this dynasty, where men have three wives and four concubines, if a woman wants to leave just because her husband sleeps, even the princess can''t be so arrogant.


    Leisurely always knows Fang Xinsu''s temperament. This girl is very intelligent and has a thorough understanding of the world. This thoroughness made her disdain to do some private means, and her pride made her unwilling to bow to others easily. That brocade Luo is afraid to see through this, just can insert a foot from it. Fang Xinsu came to Chuang Tzu in such a hurry. He was afraid that he was not happy with Qi Heng. If they are obstructed by those who want to do something again, it will be very harmful to their relationship.


    Just, how to explain to her? It can''t be said that it''s urgent. If you annoy her, it''s even worse. Alas, let''s have a look first.


    After seeing off the screen, he thought about how to open his mouth and fanned Kangtai on the couch. Finally, he fell asleep somehow.

 Chapter 242

    When I wake up, it''s the end of Shenshi. She sat up and looked around. Kangtai didn''t know where he was. Outside, only willow leaves were sitting on the embroidered pier to do needlework. Liu Ye saw that she woke up and quickly made a cup of warm water to "guess that grandma Huizi should wake up." Leisurely took a drink from the glass, and then asked, "where''s Conger?"


    Liu Ye said with a smile, "the young master has been awake for more than half an hour. He watched his grandmother sleep soundly. He was considerate and didn''t make a sound. He played in the yard for a while. Later, the little son''s nanny came to him with the son in her arms, and the two little ones went out to play in the garden together. Grandma can rest assured that several servant girls will follow her. "


    Leisurely smile "this is not in the tiger''s den, I have nothing to worry about." Just as she was talking, a little servant girl beside Fang Xinsu came and said, "the princess has said that if Mrs. Shen wakes up, please come over and discuss what to eat in the evening."


    Smell speech, leisurely smile for a while, "all lobbyists as the Lord, since I am a guest, just wait to eat on the line, how do I want to think?"


    That little servant girl is also Fang Xinsu''s personal service. She is familiar with it all the time. Then she smiles and says, "our mother said that Mrs. Shen has the most ideas here. She must be able to come up with some fresh and unique food."


    As soon as the words came out, even the screen laughed. It''s like she''s a foodie! However, it seems that she is a foodie. Leisurely eyes smile and say, "well, since your master looks up to me like this, I can''t disappoint her. I''ll change my clothes and I''ll be there in a minute The little servant girl said with a smile, "the servant girl left first." Then he turned and left.


    Just at this time, Yulian came and leisurely invited her to the front yard. This Chuang Tzu is the private property of Fang Xinsu. All the people who come here to serve him are his confidants. It''s cheaper to get some medicinal materials than that in the palace. So he brought the mother and daughter of Yulian together.


    When they arrived, Shen Xiang and Shen Xiang were already there. When they met them, Shen Xiang said with a smile, "sister-in-law, come quickly. The steward of Chuang Tzu just asked someone to send some fresh prey. There are pheasants, rabbits and a yellow goat. What do you think we should do? "


    Leisurely smile "it''s all meat. Don''t you feel like eating too much?" Shen Xiang pouts: "it''s not every day. What''s the point of eating once in a while?"


    But Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "this girl dislikes our cooks. She has to eat fresh food. I don''t think you two are right here."


    Leisurely listening to the ridicule, he said with a smile, "life in the world, eat and wear two words! It''s not necessarily a blessing to be able to eat and be able to eat! "


    Shen Xi said anxiously, "cousin, I''m not really picky about your cook. Can you be a poor cook in your family? It''s just that these people are used to the practice of careful carving, and the things they make always lose some interest. Naturally, it''s best to eat wild game! "


    Fang Xinsu "puffed" and said, "are you still eating wild? How to eat it? I haven''t heard of it. "


    Shen Xi said, "I''ve heard my brother say that when hunting in the mountains, the prey is roasted and eaten directly by making a fire. It''s interesting that the whole chicken is roasted and eaten piece by piece. I heard that Gaozu liked to eat roast chicken when he was alive. He also said that he had to be happy when he was happy in life. A man had to eat meat and drink a lot. It''s said that my cousin''s Chuang Tzu was still the private property of Gaozu! If we can follow the example of Gaozu, we will live up to the pride of our ancestors! "


    After listening to this, no one else could deny it. Only Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "I haven''t seen you for a few days. Our sister Xiang has grown up. This is a set of principles." Looking at the bright and lively Shen Xiang in front of him, Fang Xinsu still couldn''t help feeling envious. Her cardamom era has not yet had time to enjoy such free and easy, she encountered the death of her parents. She didn''t even have time to grieve, so she had to pick herself up, deal with the affairs behind her parents, and appease her younger brother. Fortunately, the younger brother grew up very fast, and the younger brother and sister spent the most difficult time together. Later, she went to the capital. Although her uncles and aunts had been very kind to her, they could not cover up the fact that she was dependent on others. When she got married, she had a husband and a brother in the morning. When she thought her life was just perfect, she encountered her husband''s change of heart. Everything, everything, let her a little breathless. If some things have not been, then it will not make people so worried about gain and loss. What I fear most is that once I had it, it would disappear with the wind. Fang Xinsu took a sip of tea and wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye. After all, she didn''t have the heart to refuse the smiling girl in front of her. Then she raised her head and said with a smile, "anyway, I can''t help it. Just discuss how to eat by yourself and tell coral what you want." After coral got married, Fang Xinsu originally wanted her to relax for a few months at home. But when this happened, she was a little flustered about the people coming out of the palace, so she sent people to the capital overnight to call their husband and wife to serve them here. Directly let coral do the steward of the inner courtyard, in charge of the affairs around her. All the people in the palace, except a few little eunuchs, were sent to other places to make it cheaper.


    Shen Xiang said with a smile, "thank you first." Then he ran to leisurely and shook her arm. "Good sister-in-law, I''ve heard Xi''er say that you''re always stirring up new things at home. Tell me how to make the game delicious? "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "I have some ideas here. I''m afraid you can''t stand that kind of craziness."


    Shen Xiang shook his head. "How can that happen? If you want to eat exquisite food, you''ve already let the kitchen do it. Who has to wait until now? Good sister-in-law, speak quickly


    Seeing everyone''s expectation, leisurely he said, "since you want to eat wild, you can''t do it in the house. The sun is going to set, but it''s cooler outside. Let the servants find an open and clean place in Zhuangzi, put up a fire pile, and take all the iron stoves and barbed wire from Zhuangzi. Then tell the kitchen to clean up the game, cut some meat into small pieces and string them with bamboo sticks. For the rest of the game, take two more of each, and then take all the seasonings in the kitchen. Remember to take some honey. Go and see what fresh vegetables and mushrooms are in the kitchen. Wash them and take some. "


    After she says, have small servant girl to take orders to go to the kitchen to deliver a message. In addition, the old maid went to get the tables and chairs to be used, and arranged the chairs, cushions, dishes and so on.


    After listening to leisurely words, Fang Xinsu said to Shen Xi with a smile, "look, let me talk about it. It''s right to ask her. Today, we finally have a good mouth."


    Just at this time, a voice came from outside the door, "why don''t you call me for such a good thing?"

 Chapter 243

    When they heard the voice, they looked up.


    I saw that the visitor was wearing a haze colored outer garment with the pattern of brocade, Magnolia and butterfly. On his head, he was wearing a pearl hairpin hanging on a Phoenix. She stands in the backlight, the sun will shine the whole set of jewelry, but also set off her original national color and natural fragrance face more elegant.


    When the people in the hall saw her, they immediately went forward and bowed down. Only Fang Xinsu had a good fortune and said with a smile, "how did cousin suddenly come? The servant didn''t know to announce it, but it startled me


    Shen Tian waved to leisurely and others to get up. "They''re all from their own family. There''s no need to be polite." He said with a smile, "I didn''t let them communicate. I wanted to give you a surprise. Who would like to hear you talking about eating something new here! Really, you will enjoy it! There is such a good thing, I don''t know how to call me! If I hadn''t gone to see my mother, I wouldn''t have known that you were stealing pleasure here! "


    Fang Xinsu vomited his tongue. "How can we not think about our cousin? We just think that you are the prince and princess. We don''t know how many chores we have to do, so we don''t disturb you!"


    Shen Tian glanced at her, "I''m the princess, aren''t you? How can you come out and relax, I can''t? "


    Fang Xinsu quickly helped her to the seat and sat down. "Well, my sister, I''m wrong this time. I''ll call you next time." Shen Tian said with a smile, "it''s almost the same." Then he looked at Yulian and said, "this lady has some eyes. I don''t know who she is?" Although the dress of jade lotus is respectable outside, it is not enough before the two princesses and the royal family. Fortunately, she was always open-minded and didn''t feel dwarfed.


    Heard Shen Tian asked her, she stood up in no hurry and gave a salute, "Lin''s wife has seen the princess." At this time, leisurely also stood up and said, "if you go back to your mother, this is my mother''s cousin. My mother and I mentioned that she would help me look after the house when we gave the Empress Dowager a cry. I brought her here today. "


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "this is your cousin. No wonder she looks a little like you. Let''s get up, lady Lin Shen Tian once heard leisurely mention the story of Yulian, but he had some appreciation for this strong woman.


    Leisurely took Yulian''s hand and sat down. Fang Xinsu asked, "did cousin come by herself? Why didn''t you bring the children? "


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "your aunt missed some grandchildren and left them at home for a few days. Hong elder brother son now also big sensible, very know to take care of nephew and niece, I take the opportunity to avoid lazy. You don''t know, the two little ones are not so many moths. The eldest one, the monkey, is now the time for mischief. It''s really a headache. "


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "children are like this. When they are older, they will be sensible. Let''s talk about brother Hong. A few years ago, he was a tree climber, but now he is much more sensible. " Leisurely also said, "it''s better for boys to be more lively. When the son is old, he will have rules."


    Several people were talking about their children''s classics when they heard a burst of laughter outside the door. Then Chen Ge''er and Kang Tai came in laughing, and Tao Liang followed. Kangtai was holding a crystal bowl a little bigger than his fist, which contained several Koi with small fingers. He went to Fang Xinsu with a smile and said, "mother, let''s have this fish for lunch."


    When they heard this, they couldn''t help laughing. Fang Xinsu looked at the water stains on his son''s clothes and said, "how can I eat such a small fish? Listen, if you want to eat fish, I''ll ask the kitchen to make a bigger one for you. I can''t do this. "


    Chen Ge''er pouts his lips. "But big fish don''t look good like this." Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "don''t worry, I let them do better than this one. You can keep these small ones in your room and eat them when you are old. " The elder brother of the morning thought a little, thought this suggestion feasible, then nodded. Fang Xinsu wants to take over the crystal bowl in his hand, but the child is not willing to give up. So his mother said with a smile, "I don''t want to rob you. You child, don''t see who''s coming? Why don''t you go to see your aunt? " In this way, other people''s children began to learn the rules from their mother''s womb. Just now, they didn''t pay attention to it. After listening to their mother''s words, they quickly shoved the things in their hands to their mother and politely. Kangtai and taoliang have already finished their ceremony here. Shen Tian met taoliang for the first time. Seeing that the little girl is still young, but she is obedient and looks like a jade carving, she couldn''t help praising her. Because it was the first time she met, she asked the maid to take a gift.


    The ink painting beside Shen Tian didn''t follow him. It was a servant girl who had just mentioned second class. When she saw that taoliang''s mother was just a girl from a civilian family, she could not help but despise her. She only took out a pair of gold coins and a pair of palace flowers. Shen Tian looked at the things in the tray, glanced at the servant girl and said with a smile, "it''s not something valuable. Take it and play with it." Then he waved to taoliang and asked her something. It''s nothing more than a few years old, what''s his name and so on. When he heard Tao Liang''s age, he had a clear mind and a clear tongue. He couldn''t help liking it a little more. Because of the leisurely relationship, he personally took off a jade inlaid with seven treasures and put it on taoliang''s neck.


    Little girls naturally like such colorful jewelry, but although Tao Liang is young, he knows that such things are not easy to take, so he can''t help looking at his mother and aunt. As soon as she saw that it was so valuable, she quickly stood up and said, "it''s her blessing to take care of her, but it''s too expensive. How can she afford it as a child? Please take it back. "


    Hearing what his mother said, Tao Liang immediately took off the collar to give it back to Shen Tian. Shen Tian stopped Tao Liang''s action. "You are not greedy. Since you have been given it, just take it and don''t listen to your mother." The little girl just looked at this thing. She was looking at it. It was just like a child. It was unexpected that after her mother spoke, the little girl could pick things off without hesitation. No matter how old you are, today''s three or four-year-old children are so sensible that they may be lucky in the future.


    At this time, she stood up with a leisurely smile and said to Yulian, "it''s rare that taoliang got into the eyes of the princess and was willing to give her a good thing. My sister just sat down and didn''t think it was a big event. We look very precious things. In the eyes of the empress, they are just small things. Just take them with ease. " Then he went to taoliang, put the collar on her neck and said, "this thing should be carefully put away. It will always be useful in the future." She wanted to say that she would keep it as a dowry in the future, but she also thought that there were two unmarried aunts in the house, so she put it down. Who knows Tao Liang but crisp mouth way "I know, aunt, I want to hide well, in the future grow up to do dowry." On hearing this, everyone in the room began to laugh.

 Chapter 244

    Fang Xinsu pulls Tao Liang to her and teases her with a smile, "how old are you? I know how to save the dowry. How many good things have you saved? " Tao Liang raised his face and said, "I''ve saved a lot. My mother said I''m a big girl. I''ll take all my things myself. Last time, I received the present from the princess and the things from my aunt. I have already saved a big box. I see a neighbor''s sister married in the alley, but there are only a dozen such boxes. Everyone says that the dowry is rich. If you want to save at this rate, you won''t have to worry about it from my mother in the future. " Fang Xinsu nodded her forehead. "You little girl, you have a lot of heart. How old are you? You are in a hurry to save your dowry. Don''t you have your mother


    After hearing this, Tao Liang said, "I don''t want my mother to save dowry for me. My mother works hard every day to do embroidery and learn medical skills. She can''t bear to spend the money she earns. She saves it for me, and she can''t bear to wear the good materials and jewelry she gets. She says she keeps it for me to save dowry. I thought that if I had saved my dowry early, my mother would not have to work so hard. She would be willing to wear new clothes and jewelry. " She said with a smile, a pair of big eyes flickering, fundus of a pure. They all looked at her with a smile on their face. After listening to her, they were all silent, but Yulian couldn''t help reddening her eyes.


    After a while, Fang Xinsu turned to Yulian and said, "what a sensible child. Lady Lin has such a daughter. Your good fortune is still to come." Then he took off a string of purple jade from his wrist and hung it on taoliang''s skirt. "Good boy, remember what you said today and be filial to your mother in the future." Tao Liang nodded in ignorance. Then Fang Xinsu said to leisurely, "well, if you don''t say that your daughter is sweet, we''re both the devil of the world. Now I see this little girl, I really want to have a little girl. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s not easy. How old is the princess? It''s impossible to say that the next one will be After hearing this, Fang Xinsu shook Tuan fan''s hand and said with a smile, "who knows what to do in the future? Let him go. "


    After hearing this, Shen Tian glanced at his cousin and said with a smile, "this child has some of her aunt''s character. I don''t think she can have her aunt''s fortune in the future."


    At this time, Yulian had already slowed down. After hearing this, she said, "the child is young and talks nonsense, which makes the empress laugh."


    Shen Tian shook his head with a smile. "It''s rare for her to have a pure heart. What''s so funny? My cousin is right. Your fortune will come later. I listen to this child speak well, is it hard to be enlightened? "


    Yulian nodded with a smile. "When I was reading, I taught her a few words by the way. It was just reciting a few words of the Three Character Classic and the thousand character essay. I could only recognize a hundred words."


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "it''s very rare at this age."


    Just as he was talking, a servant girl came to report that everything had been sorted out and asked the masters how to do it.


    Leisurely stood up and said with a smile, "today I''ll do it myself, let''s try my craft. It''s just that since we''re going outside, we''d better go back to our room and change into smart clothes. Otherwise, it''s not convenient to wear this wide sleeve skirt. I''ll go ahead and prepare. " So she took the lead and went out. She had been ready and was wearing narrow sleeve clothes. Seeing this, Yulian quickly stood up and said, "I don''t need to change. I just went to fight for you."


    The rest of the people went back to their rooms to change their clothes. As early as they had just spoken, a servant packed up a clean and tidy courtyard for Shen Tian to live in. At this time, she would go, and all the hot water and tea were ready.


    Leisurely and his cousin follow the servant girls leading the way all the way to the back of the yard. On the way, leisurely sees that the servant girls are a little far away from each other, and whispers, "cousin, I''ve wronged you. I''ll let you follow me to be small."


    Yulian shook her head and said, "what are you talking about? What''s wrong with this? A pro princess, a county princess, these are two princesses! Originally, they were all people who had never thought about it. Now they are willing to talk to me in a friendly way to see whose face? Don''t say they are very polite, but they really treat me as a servant girl. That''s my honor, isn''t it? It''s the official lady who wants to serve these two people. I''m afraid they don''t have a chance. Don''t mention these two, your two aunts. To me, they are all high-ranking officials who are beyond my reach. If I feel aggrieved, how high do I have to lift myself? " Hearing this, she forgot that her cousin was born and raised here. I''m afraid she didn''t have the same tangle about human rights, freedom and equality in her mind. She was used to this kind of class division for a long time.


    However, I seem to have some obstacles recently. The past life is the past life after all. Since I live in the present, I naturally have to adapt to the rules of the present. It turned out that when I was a servant girl, my mind was still very clear. Since I was a so-called Gaoming, I was a little resentful. But think about it, what''s so unfair? In this feudal society, no matter how high the rank of Gaoming is, can it be higher than that of the royal family? My cousin is right. I can''t flatter these two princesses. I just do what I can do. What''s wrong?


    What a fuss! Leisurely smile shakes his head, feel this time in the heart of boredom suddenly swept away.


    With a relaxed mood, Huizi finally wanted to enjoy the scenery of Chuang Tzu. Chuang Tzu was originally the private property of emperor Gaozu. Later, he gave it to his wife, empress Yuanyi, and passed it to the Empress Dowager from generation to generation. The Empress Dowager left it to Fang Xinsu. There is no need to mention the scenery of Zhuangzi. Everywhere you look, you can see the lush trees and colorful flowers. A clear stream twists and turns down from the depths of flowers and trees, winding through the lake. Where it flows, it is either green grass, or jagged rocks, or flowers and plants in full bloom, or white stone and jade fence. In a word, in leisurely view, the scenery here is quite in line with my imagination of the Grand View Garden in the Red Mansion. To borrow a poem written by Jia Baoyu to comment on it, that is, "the willows around the embankment borrow three poles of green, and the flowers on the other side are fragrant."


    After the garden, the servant girl led her to a pavilion near the water. She saw that the pavilion was a little far away from the garden. There were only a few tall weeping willows beside it. There was a large open grassland in front of it. There were no flowers and trees. It was very suitable for barbecue and picnic.


    Leisurely, seeing that the women had already put up several iron stoves, he said, "first light some stoves and burn some hot water. After a while, your master will come." The maid said that the hot water was ready, and leisurely told them to build a fire with firewood.

 Chapter 245

    After all the arrangements were made, she walked leisurely to the table where the meat kebabs were placed. She saw that the size of the meat kebabs was appropriate. She had already worn them with bamboo sticks according to her instructions. In addition, there are chicken wings and drumsticks and other things, and there are neat yards. Leisurely, I can''t help but sigh that the servants of the palace are different. The whole chicken and duck were also cleaned up and put in the wooden basin. In order to prevent dust, mosquitoes and flies, they were covered with bamboo curtains. In addition, some mushrooms, fungus, vegetables, etc. are also washed and stored on the plate. She lifted the seasoning jar on the table and looked at it one by one. She wanted all the seasonings. She nodded contentedly and said, "I''ll take some more lotus leaves." Then he said to Tao Liang, who was a little bored beside him, "Tao Liang, good boy, go to the hillside over there and get some clean soil. My aunt will make you a chicken to eat." It''s a common way to eat Huaji in the countryside. Taoliang takes a bamboo basket and goes there. A little servant girl at leisurely''s side follows him.


    Now that we''re ready, let''s go. Leisurely put out his hand and rolled up his sleeve, washed his hands with the water in the copper basin, then picked up a big bowl and mixed it with the seasoning on the table. First of all, a few pheasants, rabbits and a leg of sheep are smeared with the seasoning and put it aside. The seasoning is not just applied directly. The seasoning of each game is not the same. It has its own increase and decrease, and it also needs to cooperate with the corresponding techniques. These things finished, leisurely also tired enough, fortunately, the meat kebab curing is easier, easy to put the meat kebab cured.


    He said that he would do it by himself, but several cooks were sent to the kitchen to support him. Seeing that the fire had been set up, he called two cooks to come over and put the whole game on the fire first. This is relatively slow. Leisurely and carefully told them some precautions. Fortunately, there were no stupid people who could be called to serve them. Leisurely said that they understood and went to work one after another.


    At this time, taoliang came back with a basket of soil and lotus leaves. Leisurely picked up two spiced pheasants, stuffed them with mushrooms, smeared them with salt, wrapped them in lotus leaves, then wrapped them in moist soil, and let the woman bury them in the ground near the fire.


    It''s so easy to wash your hands after the busy work, and then call the remaining two cooks over to teach them how to barbecue kebabs on the barbed wire. Both of them are novices. At the beginning, they were either pasted or not, but they got better after several attempts. Leisurely tasted a bunch of their barbecued kebabs. Well, they have all kinds of color and fragrance. They can''t help praising that "the two moms have good craftsmanship, and they are much better than me in mastering the heat."


    A chubby cook replied with a smile, "madam, I''m flattered. We have been dealing with these fire and meat all day. If we are compared by madam again, how can we have the face to eat this bowl of rice? It''s the way my wife pickled meat just now. It''s an expert, and the spices are really unusual! " Leisurely smile, did not continue to talk.


    Just at this time, Shen Tian and them all changed their clothes and came. Shen Xiang was the most active. She trotted all the way and said, "I can smell the fragrance from a long distance." Then he picked up a kebab and put it on the plate, opened his mouth and bit it. Leisurely too late to stop, can only say "eat slowly, careful hot."


    It''s too late to say that. Shen Xiang has taken a bite and is really scalded. But the smell of barbecue was so fragrant that even if her hot tongue hurt, she couldn''t bear to spit it out. She breathed twice and swallowed it when the barbecue was cold. Seeing this, the servant girl beside her poured a glass of iced sour plum soup. After drinking two mouthfuls, she felt that the pain on the tip of her tongue was relieved. She couldn''t help boasting, "it''s really delicious. I can''t stop it."


    After hearing this, Shen Tian couldn''t help nodding her forehead, "you girl, you look like you haven''t eaten for many years? Look at you like this, how can you have the decency of Miss Qian Jin Shen Xiang said with a smile, "there is no outsider here. Who are you going to show them? Cousin, please sit down and I''ll bring you something to eat. This piece of meat is delicious. It''s tender and delicious. It''s not greasy at all. " Several plans have been set up in the pavilion according to the number of the owners. Each one has a small number. There is a eight treasure tray on it. There are several kinds of preserved fruits and two kinds of snacks in it. There is also a crystal tray with some lychees in it. Fang Xinsu asked Shen Tian to sit on the top, and he sat by himself. Shen Xiang sees that her cousin is seated. If she really takes a plate and loads a plate of roasted meat kebabs to Shen Tian, Shen Xi also takes a plate to Fang Xinsu and two plates to leisurely and Yulian.


    Fang Xinsu laughed and joked, "Oh, these two sisters are really grown up. We also enjoy the service of our sisters." Leisurely pull Shen Xi to sit down beside, smile way "younger sister just sit, let the servant girls do, we come today is guest, can''t work for her." Shen Xi sat down with a smile. Shen Tian sniffed the fragrance and said, "it really smells good." One side is not in a hurry to wear the copper basin that the servant girl carries to come over to clean, the hand took the clean PA son to wipe, and thin of spread the balsam. The servant girl beside her had already picked up a bunch of meat kebabs and wiped the bamboo stick head with a handkerchief. She was about to pick the meat off. Shen Xiang interrupted, "this meat kebab is to be eaten like this. It''s so slow. What''s more interesting?" I saw that she had a bunch of delicious food in her hand. She had already piled a lot of autographs on the table. Seeing this, Shen Tian took it with a smile and said, "I''ll come and see how sweet you girls are eating. Go down and have a rest." Fang Xinsu saw that there were enough meat kebabs, and there were still plenty of tables and chairs, so he asked people to set up two tables under the willows outside the pavilion, so that all the servant girls could sit down. "Didn''t Gaozu say that¡® Let''s have a good time today. Don''t stick around here, just pass by. " Shen Tian also echoed, and all the servant girls said thanks and went to sit down.


    At this time, Shen Xiang began to yell, "it''s not fun to eat meat without wine. How about a good sister enjoying a pot of wine?"


    Fang Xinsu looked at her and said, "don''t you have sour plum soup? There is also rolling Tie Guanyin. You have a lot to do. What kind of drinks do you want! If I drink too much, my aunt will not blame me? "


    Shen Xiang said with a smile, "my aunt is not so old-fashioned. My good sister, you used to be very generous. How can you become a pro and be stingy?"


    Fang Xinsu''s Willow eyebrows stood up and said, "you girl, you''ve become a drunkard at a young age." Seeing that Shen Xiang was aggrieved, he said with a smile, "well, I''ve already been asked to pick up the wine. It''s just that it''s a bit troublesome to pick up the wine. Wait patiently first." Shen Xiang said, "I knew that my cousin was the best."

 Chapter 246

    Voice just fell, see a servant girl holding a one foot high small porcelain altar came back and said, "Niang Niang, you said cherry wine."


    Fang Xinsu said, "then open it. Everyone here, except taoliang, has a pot. If you can''t finish it, you can''t. By the way, do you drink hot or cold? "


    Shen Xiang quickly said, "what kind of hot wine do you drink on this hot day? It''s OK to drink cold. Anyway, the wine will be hot after a while. " Leisurely also said with a smile, "this wine will be sour when it''s hot. It''s better to drink like this."


    In this case, the servant girls did not scald the wine, and directly brought the wine pot to the public table.


    Shen Tian reached out and poured a cup of wine. Seeing that the wine was pink and cool, he said, "the color of the wine is pretty good." Then he took a sip and nodded, "it''s delicious. It''s not too strong. It''s just the entrance." Then he smacked his tongue and said, "in the aftertaste, there seems to be a fragrance of flowers. It''s really rare." Then they all took a sip, and Shen Xiang''s eyes brightened. "Really, at the beginning, I didn''t think it would be tasted until the wine entered my throat. It had a delicate fragrance."


    Fang Xinsu and you ran looked at each other with a smile, and then said, "of course, it''s not easy to get the recipe from you ran. It''s just cherry. When it''s time, it''s natural. It''s just that the raw liquor used for brewing has taken a lot of effort. According to Mrs. Shen, we can make clear rice wine with the snow water on the plum blossom or the dew on the lotus leaf on the day of Bailu, together with the newly produced Bijing rice of the season. Put it in plum tree or lotus pool for three months before you can take it out and make this cherry wine. This jar was brewed at Chuang Tzu''s restaurant the year before last. I haven''t been willing to drink it. This time, you''re lucky. "


    On hearing this, even Shen Tian, who was always calm, said with a smile, "since this wine is so rare, we''ll have to open it up for a few days. If not, it won''t be in vain? It''s only when you''re free that you have the mind to do these strange things all day long. "


    Fang Xinsu was not angry and said, "if you want to talk about strange things, who can compare with her?" Then he pointed to leisurely with his hand, leisurely did not retort, and raised his cup with a smile. "Princess, I''m flattered. I respect princess." Then he drank it down. Then he looked at the blue and white wine cup in his hand with some regret. "The poet Li Bai once chanted" wine luminous cup ". Although we are not drinking wine today, we always feel a little ashamed of this pot of good wine with this ordinary cup." Fang Xinsu frowned and said, "I think so too. I just came out in a hurry. I didn''t bring the set of glass cups you sent me. It''s not necessary to use that one."


    Leisurely smile "it doesn''t matter, I have." Then he said to the willow leaves under the tree in a loud voice, "willow leaves, you go to our house and bring the set of glass tea cups I brought." Willow leaves quickly went, after a quarter of an hour or so, really took a holding box. She put the box on the bamboo table for tea at the entrance of the pavilion and took out six glass cups of different shapes. He washed it with clean water and then scalded it with boiling water. Fang put it in the tea tray and brought it to Shen Tian first.


    Leisurely said with a smile, "I just asked a master to make this set of tea set, but I haven''t used it yet. Let''s see which one you like. If you don''t dislike it, keep it." Shen Tian saw that the six cups had different shapes, including hexagonal ones, plum ones and chrysanthemum ones. The crystal clear place was not as good as the glass tea sets of Daxing in recent years, but it had a special quaint texture. So he put out his hand with a smile and took a thin waist sunflower cup he liked. He poured the cherry wine into half a cup and praised, "it really matches the good wine, but the wine vessel is not small. I''m afraid I''ll get drunk if I can''t drink a few cups."


    Leisurely cover mouth to smile way "Niang Niang joked, your liquor quantity is not that we have never seen, only afraid this jar is not enough for you to drink." Shen Tian glanced at her, "you are still so narrow. Why, just now I heard that you sent some glass cups to your cousin last time. Why didn''t you have my share? Now that you two are well together, leave me alone. Don''t forget that I''m your serious sister-in-law. "


    Dizzy, leisurely quickly said, "how can I forget you? It''s just that Huizi is doing an experiment, and there are some defects in the finished product. Thank you for not abandoning me. I dare to give it to her. I wanted to wait for the master to make perfect utensils and then send them to you. "


    Shen Tian nodded with satisfaction. "It''s almost the same. I''ve written it down. Don''t forget it." Who knows this meeting, Fang Xinsu pulled up her leisurely hind legs. "Cousin, don''t be coaxed by her. She told me that before, so she just gave me a few cups and sent me away. As a result, it''s been more than two years now, and I haven''t seen the finished product she said. "


    Leisurely and innocently, he said, "it''s not that I broke my promise. It''s just that the old master I was looking for had already spent a lot of effort, but the utensils I made are always not perfect because of some bubbles or small bumps. He used to make glass utensils, which is different from glass, so he has been groping. I saw that he hadn''t made it all the time. I was afraid that it would be even worse if he was under pressure. So I asked him to make some glass products that he was good at. I wanted him to make something that he was familiar with. If I compared the differences between the two, I might understand. Sure enough, after the master made this set of tea sets, he said that he had some feeling and began to make glass tea sets again. Even if it doesn''t work this time, it''s not far off. "


    After hearing this, Shen Tian nodded, "even the glass products made by the house of internal affairs are more or less flawed. If the craftsmen under your hand are really capable of making flawless utensils, that''s a good thing. "


    After listening to the string song leisurely, she knows that Shen Tian is interested in this business. In fact, she originally wanted to take a stake in lafangxinsu. After all, this kind of business with huge profits is not something she can afford alone. If there is no support, it can only be dowry for others. Now Shen Tian, the prince''s concubine, has this wish, which is exactly what she wants. She says with a smile, "OK, I just want to make something to earn some money. If you borrow Niang''s good words, it''s really done. At that time, you have to ask her to add some principal. "


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "it''s easy to say." At this time, Fang Xinsu said on one side, "such a good thing, you can''t just let the two of you occupy it. You must take me with you."


    Leisurely naturally, there was no objection. Shen Tian said with a smile, "since that''s the case, it''s settled. Let''s talk about the specific matters." Fang Xinsu quickly stood up, took up the wine pot, filled the glasses in their hands, and then filled their own glasses. He said with a smile, "come on, let''s have a drink. It''s settled. We can''t go back on it. They are all witnesses. "

 Chapter 247

    Shen Xiang and others all smile and don''t speak, three people all get up to dry this cup of wine, this matter even if is initially settled. Leisurely, I can''t help sighing in my heart. No wonder Chinese people like to talk about things at the wine table. It really makes sense. She didn''t expect to move Shen Tian, because she knew that Shen Tian had a lot of industrial interests. The identity of the imperial concubine is special. It is certain that such things will bring huge profits, which will inevitably lead to many disputes. She thought Shen Tian would not be involved in these affairs, but she was quite interested. I don''t know why she earned so much money? It''s not a rebellion, is it? Leisurely also so a thought, immediately left behind, tube her, later think about it. At that time, if it is really profitable, she will retire in two or three years. In fact, leisurely doing this is not just for the sake of money, but just for the sake of a trip. It''s not good to do nothing. It happened that she had been in touch with the production process of ancient glass and glass crafts in her previous life, so she moved her mind. In recent years, she has spent nearly ten thousand taels of silver on it alone. Even though her other industries have made a lot of profits, there are still some pains. Ten thousand taels of silver can buy a thousand mu of good land on the edge of the capital. Now it''s easy to see the dawn, and she''s happy.


    After talking about the matter, a big stone fell from leisurely''s heart. He ate and drank with several other people until the middle of the moon. After drinking two jars of cherry wine and a pot of pear blossom white, everyone came to an end.


    When she returned to the yard, Kangtai had been coaxed to sleep by her nurse. After washing, she looked at her son''s red face and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Kangtai seems to be aware in his sleep, smash it, smash it, turn over and go to sleep.


    Leisurely smile, looking at his son''s sleeping face, suddenly think of their prime minister! I don''t know what his father is doing?


    What she didn''t know was that Shen Ze, her husband in the capital a hundred miles away, had been lucky twice in a row today. This matter starts from the day when Shen Ze returned to Beijing a few days ago.


    But one day, the sun was rising and the air was cool. As soon as the south gate was opened, people who wanted to enter the city lined up for hundreds of meters.


    As time went on, the team moved forward slowly. At the back of the line, a brown carriage was surrounded by three or four black painted carriages. A slender jade hand opened a corner of the window screen, and a pair of bright eyes looked forward through the gap. To see the front row of dragon crowd, jade hand''s owner can''t help but tightly frown, partial head to one side of the mother complained, "mother, how can there be so many people in front?". I think most of them are common people. Can''t you tell manager Wang that we should go to the city earlier? "


    What she was talking about was a pretty young girl in her prime of life, and her mother, a middle-aged woman in her forties, was reclining on the carriage and closing her eyes. After listening to her daughter''s words, she just said lightly, "if there is a way, you don''t have to say, Wang Guanshi has already gone to do it. Since he doesn''t act, it means it''s not easy to handle. Let''s just wait. What''s your hurry? This is in the capital, everywhere are dignitaries, no more than in Xinzhou. We''re living in your uncle''s house again. You can''t be so careless in your future. " After listening to her mother''s words, the girl vomited her tongue and stopped talking.


    When the woman saw that her daughter was still in a state of depression, she could not help sighing to herself. When she was so old, the commoner girl in the carriage was able to help her aunt compete for favor and secretly plan her own life. Take a look at this hairy girl. She''s almost hairy. She''s still hairy. She''s really worried!


    While the woman was pondering, Wang Daxi, who was sent by her brother to take care of her, said outside, "if you go back to your aunt, I happen to meet uncle Ze of the northern government. He just goes back to the city from the outside to do the errand. It''s said that it''s your driver. I''ll come and greet you. " Because the Shen Ze family lived in the northernmost part of the Shen family, it was called the "Shen family of the northern government".


    Smell speech, the middle-aged woman quickly lifted the curtain to go out, only to see a young man dressed in military uniform, bearing a clear and handsome just came out of the car. After seeing her, he bowed down and said with a smile, "my nephew Zhicheng, I''ve met my second aunt." It turned out that this middle-aged woman was Shen Mingchang''s concubine, Shen''s second aunt and Shen''s aunt.


    Ten years ago, Shen may not have looked down upon Shen Ze, a nephew of the side clan, but now he is already the commander of the imperial guards. Although he is the elder, he is just a widow who came to take refuge in his mother''s family after her husband died. What''s more, after many years away from the capital, Shen''s heart is always mixed when he meets his mother''s family. Shen was busy smiling and helped Shen Ze up by hand. "I haven''t seen him for many years. In a twinkling of an eye, the former child became the commander. It''s really powerful." Shen Ze said with a smile, "after many years of absence, my aunt''s voice and appearance have not changed, and her bearing is even better than before." Shen said with a happy smile, "if you are older this year, you can speak better than when you were a child." Then he called his eldest son and introduced him to Shen Ze with his daughter. As for the back of the car on the common woman was selectively forgotten by her.


    It''s just that a common girl is not the one who is willing to be forgotten. Shen zegang and a pair of cousins have met each other and are talking. Listen to a Oriole like voice in the back sounded "mother, heard that a relative came, Xi Yunte to see."


    At the sight of the visitor, Shen''s daughter, Xu Tong, immediately turned her head and glared. Shen pulled her daughter and said to Shen Ze with a smile, "although you call me aunt, I don''t mean to introduce you to all the miscellaneous people. It''s all right. I haven''t put out five clothes anyway. Since all the people are here, I''ll see you. " Then he pointed to humanity, "this is my eldest daughter." Then he said to the visitor, "this is Shen Ze, commander of the imperial army. Please call out your cousin."


    After listening to these words, I didn''t feel hurt. I''m the eldest daughter of the Xu family. How come I''m so confused? Although in the heart is extremely not angry, but Xu Xiyun still face unchanged Jiao smile line a blessing, Jiao voice way "Xi cloud met cousin." She is graceful and beautiful. It''s really graceful and moving. Around Shen Ze with a few deputy soldiers are looking at some stupefied.


    But Shen Ze is a pair of unmoved appearance, light way "Miss Xu please rise." But even my cousin refused to call. Xu Xiyun has always been popular among men by virtue of his appearance, but today he has a cold nail. If it was someone else, he would have been discontented, but this man got up as usual and stepped back to stand beside Shen. Originally some charming expression now also changed into a dignified appearance.

 Chapter 248

    But Shen Ze didn''t look at her again. He said to Shen Shi, "my aunt has just arrived. It''s reasonable that my nephew should escort my aunt to the second uncle''s house. It''s just that I''m on business today. It''s really inconvenient. Another day, when my aunt is settled down, I''ll go and greet her. "


    Shen quickly waved his hand with a smile, "we don''t have to be polite to our own flesh and blood. You just have to be busy. We still have time to kiss each other in the future." Then Shen Ze left, but when he left, he took them to the gate of the city.


    The leader of the city just knew him. He heard that he was his relative, so he let them go.


    The motorcade passed the city gate smoothly and entered the capital. Xu Xiyun saw the soldiers'' respectful attitude towards Shen Ze from the crack of the car window. Once again, he felt the deterrent power of power and position. He grasped the right hand of the handkerchief and slowly released it.


    For Shen Ze, all this was just a small matter. He was busy with military affairs for the next few days, and the masters of the state government were not at home. The arrival of Shen''s party just caused a small wave in the second room of the Shen family.


    It was only this afternoon when Shen Ze passed by the second master''s house that he remembered that he had not visited his aunt since she came to Beijing. Besides, he had not come to greet his second uncle for some days. So Shen Ze prepared something and went in to pay a visit.


    Shen Ming, the second master, just came back from the Yamen. He was also very happy to see his nephew coming. He immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare wine and held Shen Ze''s arm. Shen Ze said with a smile, "today''s Japan is for mixed food. Even if the second uncle doesn''t stay me, I won''t go myself. It''s just that I haven''t seen the second aunt for a long time. I think I should send an invitation to the second aunt, and aunt Xu should also be here. I don''t know if it''s convenient. I''ll send an invitation to the second aunt and aunt. "


    Shen Ming waved his hand: "there is no outsider at home. What''s the inconvenience?" Finish saying then let servant girl take him to backyard.


    Just as Shen Shi was talking with his sister-in-law, Shen Ze invited an for them. After a few words, he left the yard of the second aunt. The maid who led the way just had something else to do. She left before she arrived at the Chuihua gate. Shen Ze had come to this mansion several times, but he still knew the way, so he took the boy forward.


    When passing by the small garden in the mansion, Shen Ze saw a double Pink Hibiscus blooming just in time. He couldn''t help thinking of the similar color Hibiscus in his yard. It was planted by leisurely after she married. At first, it was only one person tall, but now it is more than two meters tall. The flower in my family is more colorful than the one in front of me, but I think it''s also my daughter-in-law, who is a good flower grower. It seems that any flower in her hand is more fresh than that of other people.


    Thinking of his wife, Shen Ze couldn''t help smiling and was a little stunned for a moment. At this time, only "ouch" came from behind. Shen Ze turned and saw a girl in a light blue dress sitting on the ground, covering her ankles with her hands. Seeing Shen Ze looking back, the girl said shyly, "I made my cousin laugh. I was so greedy to see the scenery there that I twisted my ankle accidentally. My servant girl is in the lotus pond behind me. Could you please ask this little fellow beside my cousin to shout for me Eyebrows slightly wrinkled, voice with a few silk crying cavity, but the face is smiling, beautiful, tearful. As he spoke, he kept pulling his skirt, as if trying to cover the half exposed embroidered shoes.


    What about? Such a pathetic and strong appearance can certainly arouse the desire to protect the people in front of you? Playing hard to get, as long as the boy is separated, and they are alone for a short time, she will have a way to make this matter very noisy. At that time... Xu Xiyun is calculating in his heart, so he will listen to the man''s cold command: "Tongyan, go to tell the servant girl in the yard of the second aunt, and then go directly to the front yard to find me. Remember, men and women are different. Don''t stay in the inner yard too long. " Then he lifted his feet and left.


    Xu Xiyun was left alone and almost broke his silver teeth.


    Shen Ze had enough to eat and drink in the second room and didn''t go home until the middle of the month. On the half way, a Zhu luncui Huagai car came slowly from the opposite side. Shen Ze couldn''t help but look at the decoration of the carriage, which was used by the women''s family. At this time, whose family members are still wandering in the street? I don''t know what kind of fortune he is today. When the carriages come across from them, they suddenly stop. A beautiful female voice says, "leader Shen, please stay." Then a slim hand lifted the curtain of the car, revealing a lotus face inside. "It''s so late. I don''t know where commander Shen is going?"


    Under the night, the light was not clear, but Shen Ze recognized the man in front of him. This beautiful woman''s identity is very unusual. It is princess Lezhen who was ordered by Emperor Longde to become a monk in baiyun''an.


    Shen Ze frowned and replied, "naturally, I''m going home."


    "I heard that your wife is still in the summer resort. Isn''t it hard to sleep when Shen Tong takes her back During the conversation, a pair of enchanting Danfeng eyes looked directly at Shen Ze and said, "it''s a pity if you fail to live up to the beautiful scenery on such a beautiful day. I wonder if commander Shen would like to see the night scenery with me?"


    Who are these people? It''s so corrupt. Shen Ze impatient way "Shen family still have something to do, do not disturb the princess''s elegant."


    Lezhen wore the paddy field clothes that monks often wear. Her black hair was not shaved, and she pulled up half of it with a white jade hairpin. In his early years, lundeti favored her more because her eyes and eyebrows were more like him than all her sons. Therefore, she is not a direct non long, in order to stand out in a group of princesses. I saw her long eyebrows in a bun, red lips and white skin. She was more charming in the moonlight. On the contrary, she was a bit more elegant than when she was in full dress. In addition to her identity, there is actually more than one noble youth in Beijing who is her guest of honor. Zhou Chen is just one of them.


    But she didn''t expect that her self conceited beauty and identity met with a nail in Shen Ze''s face. At the moment, she flew a double eyed sword and said, "is it really noble for Shen Tongling to be so calm? It''s still silver like wax gun head! " With impressive looking but useless, he said, "Shen, who is not half angry, is rather angry." I am not silver, but I am not worried about the princess.


    Although Le Zhenming knew that this man was different from his guests, he couldn''t help teasing him. At present, being rejected again and again, I feel a little embarrassed and annoyed. "In the eyes of commander Shen, I''m not as good as a cheap maid from a servant girl?"

 Chapter 249

    This touched directly on the bottom line of Shen Ze, and he said in a cool voice, "although I don''t know how the princess has escaped from Baiyun nun, but since the emperor''s purpose is to let his highness go home to reflect on it, his highness should not secretly resist the purpose." If it''s spread to Yangtian mountain, I''m afraid the holy one will be furious. Please think twice before you speak He directly ignored the words of Lezhen. In his heart, is his wife as beautiful as Lezhen?


    Then, without looking at Lezhen any more, Shen Ze raced back to the house in Beijing. He had heard a lot about Lezhen''s actions. He only thought that she had come to Beijing to meet her lover this time. As for her seduction, it was only because of her character, but he didn''t think much about it. Back in the bedroom, Shen Ze looks at the familiar furnishings in the room. The whole room is full of his wife''s breath. After a few days apart, he has already missed it. I just hope that we can finish the work as soon as possible, so that we can go to Yangtian mountain and reunite with our wife.


    Lezhen looks at Shen Ze''s back and bites her silver teeth. Sooner or later, the princess will make you fall in love with me. Then he thought of Shen Ze''s wife. She was just a humble slave. Is she worthy of Shen Ze''s treasure? Lezhen has been domineering since she was a child. Even though she was tired of it by Emperor Longde, she didn''t have the heart to repent. This time she saw Shen Ze''s deep love for leisurely, she was not angry. Why can I get something that I can''t get easily! I will never be reconciled! It is said that Mrs. Shen has a good life. If she suddenly encounters something unbearable, who else would say that she has a good life?


    Thinking about this, Lezhen raised a sneer on her lips. Then she reached for a man in black who was hidden in the dark. She whispered a few words, and the man in black took the order. Lezhen gets on the carriage again. What Shen Ze thinks is right. She really came to meet her lover tonight. But the reason why she attracted this lover was not just for the pleasure of fish and water! What she planned was the supreme imperial power! Just because of her father''s words, she suddenly became a nun with hair in Baiyun nunnery from a high princess. Even when she first went there, she had to be harassed by the guards and her aunt. If it wasn''t for her early years, she would still have to do the rough work of chopping firewood and washing clothes! Since the father does not care for his daughter at all, why should she be polite again! One day, those who had insulted her would prostrate at her feet and beg for mercy!


    Leisurely, who is far away from Yangtian mountain, doesn''t know that someone has already extended the claw of jealousy to her, and is still playing happily in fangxinsu''s Chuang Tzu. A few people made an appointment to go hunting the next night. There is a horse farm of 100 mu in this village, which has dozens of horses. At Fang Xinsu''s command, naturally someone would clean up the paddock overnight. All the horses were led to the stables and tied up. The paddock was well circled. There were some pheasants, some goats, rabbits and a few fawns in it. They were all gentle and harmless animals. Anyway, a few people are playing. It''s good for ladies to ride a horse and pull a bow. Who can expect them to be successful?


    Shen Tian naturally can''t see right from Fang Xinsu''s manner. She doesn''t have the same worries as leisurely. After hearing the reason, he said, "how can I say hello? You''ve been by your mother''s side for so many years! Why didn''t you learn half the means? You left them two and came to Chuang Tzu. Didn''t you create opportunities for them in vain? "


    Fang Xinsu bit his lips and said, "cousin, I don''t need to say more. I know the truth. I''m not so generous. Before I left, I had put two general rooms in his study, let them make trouble by themselves! I just feel a little confused in my heart, so I want to come here to relax. "


    This made Shen Tian even more angry. "Since you understand the truth, how can you still do such a thing? If you don''t think about yourself, you should also think about brother-in-law Chen. If you don''t agree with your brother-in-law, what will he do in the future? "


    Smell speech, Fang Xinsu lonely smile, "I was thinking about the morning brother, just didn''t turn over on the spot.". He is now the son of the world. Does his father dare to abolish him? I''m the princess''s mother and his uncle. No matter how hard it is, there are still cousins. What do you have to worry about? "


    Looking at the listless appearance of his cousin, Shen Tian could not help sighing, "well, to tell you the truth, when the Empress Dowager pointed out the marriage to you, I felt that although the marriage looked beautiful, it was not suitable for your temperament. You can''t tolerate sand in your eyes. How can you stand the dirty privacy in the back of the palace? But I didn''t say much when I meant that the marriage will had been made. Later, when you got married and saw that your husband and wife were in love with each other, you thought you were better than me. Well, now think about it, it''s just the son of a poor family! Which of these princes and nobles grew up in a pile of fat? On the 15th and 6th, there was a room given by the elders of the family. It was already clean like Qi Heng! Close relatives and sparse couples! The two words "husband and wife" are nothing more than living together. Some things are just turning a blind eye. If you really want to care too much, it''s hard for you. " Fang Xinsu shook his head, "I can''t be as virtuous and generous as my cousin!"


    Hearing this, Shen Tian sneered, "people don''t know me, don''t you? I''m different from you. You are heartbroken. From the beginning to the end, I just put myself in the position of a prince and a concubine. I never ask for those illusory love. I know what to do and what not to do. The ancients said, no desire, no demand! Because there is no hope of a man''s sincerity, so there is nothing to lose. Before I have no son, I need the respect and foothold of that person. After I have children, they are my capital and hope to live. "


    After a pause, she took Fang Xinsu''s hand again. "We were born in a famous family. We have been well-dressed since childhood. In the eyes of outsiders, we have always had boundless scenery. But we know that our destiny can never be controlled by ourselves. Our parents, relatives and family honor are shackles on us. We enjoy the glory of our family, and we have to pay for it. Especially in marriage, it''s better to be free. She also has the opportunity to choose whether her husband is the one she likes, but what we can choose is just a relatively fixed circle. And in this circle, it''s not so easy to find a husband of one generation and two people? We are not empress Gong shengzhao. Without her blessing, we can be accompanied by Gaozu for life, so we can only find a way to live more moistening in the cruel reality. As for men, if you want to be open, that''s all. The more you care about him, the more he feels that you are not good at anything. You are far away from him, and make your life more interesting. At that time, he will come here. If you are happy, coax him. If you are not happy, ignore him. Who can do anything to you? It''s all princesses. You''re more nourishing than me. Although I don''t have a mother-in-law, I still have a mother-in-law and many concubines, as well as a large number of sisters in law and aunts to wait on. what about you? Who dares to wink at you in the palace? The mother dotes on you like that, even Qi Heng doesn''t dare to look on your face easily. As for me, although I''m happy, I have to coax the master of our family? Your highness, you really slap me like the king of Chu. What can I do? Can I call back? Or can I go back to my mother''s house? Good sister, compared with me, you are living in a honeypot

 Chapter 250

    Fang Xinsu said with a smile: "listen to my cousin, I feel really lucky." Shen Tian angrily glanced at her. "No, I envy you and leisurely. Who''s the daughter-in-law with such a relaxed attitude? Although people in the world like to choose a mother-in-law for their daughter, I would rather choose a daughter without a mother-in-law in the future. "


    So before leisurely thought about how to persuade Fang Xinsu, she saw that her face had regained her old look. Leisurely knows that Shen Tian must have enlightened her, so he doesn''t speak any more, so he doesn''t know about it. In any way, Shen Tian''s appearance is better than his own. If you try to persuade yourself, there is always the suspicion of "standing and talking without backache".


    Several people in Chuang Tzu crazy play for a few days, Qiheng and Liang Wang have sent to invite their own princess, but they both take words to prevaricate in the past. It''s so easy to come out and relax. You don''t have to think about those messy affairs. Who wants to go back so early? After the hunting, several people took a boat around Chuang Tzu. Fang Xinsu asked his little actors to sing some songs on the boat. These little actors are all bought from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They sing Wu Nong''s soft language in the community, which is very interesting. We listened to Xiaoqu, drank fruit wine, and ate fresh mountain delicacies and river delicacies. We had a wonderful life. It took ten days to pack up and go back to the mountain.


    Leisurely, it''s refreshing to play these days, but on this hot day, even if the protection is in place, my face will inevitably be tanned. As for the mischievous Kang Tai, it is black thoroughly. Leisurely back to his home, the servant said that Shen Ze had come back to the palace to be on duty. Leisurely look at the black in the mirror of their own, not from the frown, fortunately, her water measures do well, no skin on the face. The color of skin can''t change for a while. I always feel that I''m not willing to see my husband like this. I always have to find a way to take remedial measures. So she let people boil the hot water and prepare for the bath, and took a few lemons from the side of the heart, and cut a squeeze of juice to dip the mask made of previously prepared plain silk. When someone came to send hot water, she went in for a while and felt that the pores on her face were open before she put her own mask on her face.


    The body is washed and the mask is ready. He cleaned his body, put on his clothes, and looked at himself in the mirror. Because of the fumigation of the hot air and the function of the mask, he looked quite white. Leisurely know that this effect can only last for a short time, so began to take out a long time no powder began to busy up. The facial cream she uses is made by herself. The main ingredients are superior pearl powder and jasmine pollen. It not only has fragrance and moisturizing effect, but also has whitening effect. It''s a combination of the facial formula here and the experience of later generations. It''s not her boast. The effect is as good as the plain cream of later generations! As a matter of fact, the ancients paid no less attention to beauty and skin care than modern people, and they are also willing to spend money. If it wasn''t too much trouble, she would want to open a powder shop.


    When she finished straightening out and changed her clothes, she would look in the mirror again. Sure enough, the difference between making up and not making up was very big.


    When she was narcissistic to the mirror, she heard the sound of footstep outside. Leisurely, it was the footstep of her husband. She quickly went out with her skirt and said, "my husband, are you back? Why did you come back so early today? "


    Shen Ze took her hand and said with a smile, "I knew you were back, so I left for a while. It''s said that you are quite comfortable there, and you don''t want to come back? "


    Leisurely smile shakes his head "how to have? I''ve been thinking about coming back for a long time, but the two princesses are not going away, so naturally I can''t speak. Xianggong, when did you come back from the capital? Are you tired recently How can you feel more and more handsome after being separated for so many days. They said a lot of things, and then Kangtai came back from the outside. He was very happy to see his father and called "Dad" excitedly.


    Shen Ze suddenly stood up and lifted Kangtai up. He pricked his face with the beard on his chin and made Kangtai giggle. Shen Ze asked again with a smile, "son, do you think about dad?" Kangtai put his arms around dad''s neck and said, "I miss Dad, Dad. Next time we go out to play, our family will be together. Without dad, it''s a lot less fun. " Hearing this, the couple both laughed. How can such a small child have so many hearts?


    It''s a long time for the family to meet again. Together with Shen Xi and Yulian''s mother and daughter, a group of people had a big reunion dinner in the evening. After dinner and a few words, everyone went back to their rooms. Kangtai was very tired. Before he finished his meal, he fell asleep with his head tilted. He was carried to the next room by his nurse. Shen Xi was tired after a long ride, while Yulian knew what to do. When she left, she took a teasing look at leisurely, only blushing at leisurely. Seeing that all the outsiders had gone out, Shen Ze got up and walked to leisurely and asked with a smile, "Why are you so red? Isn''t it hot tonight? " Familiar breath around her, leisurely feel that they are almost drunk, quickly smile and shake his head, and then asked about other things. Shen Ze only casually mentioned Mrs. Xu''s return to Beijing. As for the other wild flowers, he did not mention a word. Shen Ze said leisurely, "I wanted to take you to our own Chuang Tzu to have a look. I''m afraid I can''t go now because there are so many business affairs." Leisurely smile and shake his head, "whenever we have time, we can go there. Anyway, Chuang Tzu can''t run there." Then they began to talk about their family, the so-called little farewell is better than newlyweds, young couples, chatting and chatting, they can''t help chatting to other places.


    There are some things Shen Ze didn''t say, but leisurely still knows. She was both happy and unhappy to hear that someone was coveting her husband. Some people covet that she has a good eye, but there is always a little unhappy. Fortunately, Shen Zesi was not moved by beauty, resolutely refused each other, leisurely heart and some sweet Zizi.


    In the twinkling of an eye, in the middle of July, the temperature on the mountain began to cool gradually, so the emperor sent a message to clean up and prepare to return to Beijing. Leisurely, the officials and their families who came with them took the first step. As for Shen Ze, he had to wait until the emperor set out.


    Leisurely some do not give up, how to feel just reunited a few days, this is separated? She wanted to come with her husband, but Han went back to prepare a banquet for her second aunt''s family, and she didn''t show up. Fortunately, this separation is short-lived, and the holy one will not stay on the mountain for too long. Leisurely when it is early to go back to clean up the house, so although reluctant, but still happy to start.


    When I get back to the house in Tonghua lane, I sit on my usual Royal couch, leaning on the silver red pillow and drinking the tremella and lotus seed soup boiled by my servant. I can''t help sighing that the Golden Nest is not as good as my own dog''s nest! Although it''s good in the palace, it can''t compare with the feeling at home.

 Chapter 251

    After resting at home for two days, I got up early in the morning and had breakfast ready to go to the government. Today, the Han family is going to hold a banquet in the house to entertain the second aunt and her party. Fang Xinsu also said that she would go, but naturally she would not go. It''s said that the ancients were reserved. Princess Lezhen had seen and heard of it, and she always acted against it. However, if they fall out of favor again, they will be the emperor''s own daughter after all. Naturally, they are more daring than ordinary women. But this watch girl of the Xu family has some meaning. She also wants to see what kind of character she is.


    Leisurely usually dress low-key, this will be to see the so-called "rival", also did not intend to make more publicity. However, the big maids around her all felt that she was unfair when they knew about it. When they combed her hair in the morning, Gan song took out a set of purple jade head inlaid with tourmaline from the warehouse and said, "I know that grandma dislikes the heavy silk jewelry. This set of head is good in quality and exquisite in workmanship. How about grandma wearing this today? " Although leisurely will not deliberately dress for each other, but also do not want to lose dignity in such an occasion, in short, her heart at the moment is indeed some contradictions. It has to be said that Gan song''s head suit suits her very well. The rare set of purple jade jewelry is low-key and luxurious, which is very to her taste.


    She chuckled and nodded, "good eye." Then he asked, "are all the gifts ready? Something to prepare for. "


    Hearing the question, Liu Ye quickly took out two purses and opened them for her to see: "for the second girl of the Xu family, a pair of jade rabbit meddling earrings are prepared; for the first girl of the Xu family, a pair of red gold gourd earrings are prepared. In addition, he also prepared a set of excellent four treasures for the Xu family. " Leisurely look, no voice. Turn your head and take a dressing box on the dressing table. This is the jewelry that was just delivered a few days ago. It''s all small pieces of jewelry inlaid with agate or lapis lazuli. Leisurely handed the box to LiuYe, "you can choose one, and the rest will be given to Bai Wei by the government. Take out the blue box and give it to the little girls. "


    Several servant girls are neat, and soon help her to comb her hair and change her clothes. If you choose such a simple and elegant headdress, it''s not good for you. It''s too gorgeous. Leisurely, you choose a pair of snow-green Hangzhou silk. The clothes are embroidered with big broken hibiscus flowers with purple, pink and dark green silk thread, which makes the original pale coat beautiful.


    Shen Xi had already dressed up and waited outside. Seeing leisurely come out like this, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "sister-in-law, you are so beautiful today." Leisurely see her wearing a white background embroidered with red peony flower of long pile and red pomegranate skirt, with a smile, "I''m getting older and older, but you are now in cardamom''s life, should wear more bright." Seeing that she only had a five color palace tapestry tied around her waist, she told Liu Ye to "go and bring the forbidden step on my desk."


    The willow leaves went in and soon took out a forbidden step with five color pearls, gems and silk thread. Among them was a light green jasper vine flower pendant, and under it were several strings of red tassels of different depths. Leisurely helped her hang it on the palace tapestry, helped her arrange the thread, and said with a smile, "this jade pendant is made of ordinary materials, but these strings of pearls have different colors. It''s rare. I don''t think they have worn the tassels because they are too bright. But it''s a good match for your palace tapestry. You girls can hold on to such a gorgeous color. "


    Kangtai also wants to study. Mother Wang looks at it and takes her sister-in-law to the government. In front of the Chuihua gate in the mansion, as soon as she got out of the soft sedan chair, she saw Bai Wei and Huaping come up together and say, "ouch, my grandmother, how can you come here? I''m waiting for you."


    Leisurely take a look, take out your pocket watch to see it is only three minutes, can''t help but angry way "this just when, didn''t arrive at noon, urgent what?" Then he said to Huaping, "why did your princess come so early this time?"


    The screen covered her mouth and said with a smile, "you don''t know that our master has nothing to do at home. I heard that there is a lot of excitement today, but didn''t you come early?" Then he got close to leisurely and said in a low voice, "I see, the life is just ordinary, but it''s just a habit of pretending. It''s far worse than you."


    Leisurely a Leng "so idea, how to do things like the world knows?" Pai Ping replied, "many of the servants in the second wife''s house are the children of our family, and many of them have relatives in this family. Which one is not a human spirit, just think carefully, who can''t see? Our meeting is at Niang Niang''s Chuang Tzu. Maybe people here know it earlier than you! How long has there been no new talk in this house? It happened to happen, and it hasn''t been talked about for months? " Feelings, this is a careless on the hot search ah! I make complaints about myself in my heart.


    While they were talking, they had already arrived outside the main room. The maid who was guarding the door opened the curtain and called out, "Granny Ze is coming.". Leisurely put away many thoughts in my heart, raised the appropriate smile and walked slowly into the hall.


    Some of the original bustling hall suddenly calmed down, many pairs of eyes toward leisurely look over. Although the eyes are numerous, leisurely only uses the remaining light to accurately aim at the big girl Xu. As usual, she gave a gift to Han and his second wife. Han said with a smile, "I''m looking forward to you. We''ve been nagging you for a long time. Come and see your second aunt and cousin." Then he pointed to Mrs. Xu''s direction.


    Leisurely hastened to follow the flow of good worship down, "met the second aunt." Shen Xi followed suit. Mrs. Xu helped them up in person and said with a smile, "I didn''t get married when you got married. I just heard that she was a pretty girl. Now when I see a real person, she''s really beautiful." While talking, he took two purses from the servant girl''s hand and gave them one by one. The elder could not refuse. They laughed and said thank you. Mrs. Xu looked at Shen Xi again. "Is this sister Xi? How old are you? "


    Shen Xi said his age. Mrs. Xu said with a smile, "the one in my family is the same age as you, two months younger than your birthday." Then he invited Xu Tong and Xu Xiyun to introduce them to each other.


    They met each other. Shen Xi and Xu Tong were of the same age, and Shen Xiang was making fun of each other. They soon found a common topic. Only Youran and Xu Xiyun are left to fight against each other. Youran doesn''t think there''s anything wrong with them. He just thinks that the person on the opposite side has some coarse pores and dark eyes. It''s better to look at them from a distance. Xu Xiyun was a little guilty, and did not dare to look up at leisurely. But in the eyes of outsiders, it was a fierce eye fight between them, and then Xu Xiyun was defeated.

 Chapter 252

    At this time, Su he brought the table over and said with a leisurely smile, "I heard that there is still a cousin in my aunt''s house. Why didn''t I see her?"


    Mrs. Xu said with a smile, "he''s old. After coming to see him, he went to the front." Leisurely nodded and said, "in that case, I will accept the gift from my aunt." Then he picked up a purple purse and gave it to Xu Tong. "This is for the second cousin." He took another pink one and handed it to Xu Xiyun. "This one is for big cousin."


    Xu Tong was an acute man. After receiving the purse, he opened it straight away. When he saw that he liked the earrings very much, he asked the servant girl to replace them for her on the spot. Mrs. Xu glanced at the earrings. The jade rabbit was carved with excellent white suede jade, and it was inlaid with two red jewels. The material was extraordinary and the workmanship was exquisite. It was a rare boutique. Fortunately, they were not stingy. They gave each other a pair of agate bracelets and a pair of gold inlaid jade bracelets with similar value.


    I just don''t know what this niece''s daughter-in-law gave her? Although she didn''t like the common daughter''s usual affectation as her own mother, Mrs. Xu would only be happy if she could catch up with her promising nephew.


    Xu Xiyun took the purse. He didn''t want to open it. But Xu Tong was very curious and urged, "sister, please open it and see what your cousin sent you." Leisurely also smile way "cousin might as well open to see if you like?" Xu Xiyun thought that the other party would not let him down too much, so he opened his purse and poured out a pair of gold earrings inlaid with red agate. Of course, the material quality is not as good as the pair given to Xu Tong, but Xu Xiyun is a common woman, so the present is not too simple.


    Mrs. Xu said with a smile, "Ze''s daughter-in-law is too polite to give such valuable things to their sisters." Since the death of his father, Xu Xiyun has had a hard time at home, not to mention agate inlaid jewelry or red gold jewelry. But in order to show that he didn''t love these gold and silver vulgarities, he pretended to say, "how can I cherish the cloud? How can I dare to accept such valuable things as my cousin''s sister-in-law?"


    Smell speech, leisurely shallow smile, looking at her eyes, word by word said, "no harm, this thing is I give, cousin just take it. As for the things I don''t give you, don''t worry about them, cousin Speaking of the end, although her face is still smiling, her eyes suddenly sharp up, straight shot into Xu Xiyun''s eyes, unexpectedly for no reason let the other party hit a shiver, who said granny Ze has always been gentle and polite?


    Naturally, all the people present recognized the meaning of the words. In particular, Mrs. Xu, who had some small ideas, immediately felt embarrassed. Fortunately, Shen Xiang took a look at her aunt, took her two younger sisters by the hand with a smile, and talked about a Book of poems she had recently read. The laughing talk eliminated the embarrassment.


    After saying this, leisurely also no longer look at her, went straight to the seat there. Gan song didn''t know when his master had changed the things in his purse. He just saw his grandmother''s words and cut the other party''s arrogance, so he was naturally happy. Seeing the purse that Miss Xu held in her hand again, she turned her mind and went to LiuYe and whispered a few words.


    Liu Ye glanced at her and went to the warm Pavilion. He took out a purse from the bag he had brought and handed it to her. "Take it easy, don''t make people dizzy." Gan song nodded, pretending to have no intention to start chatting with the girls on this side of the government, and then took the opportunity to divide the jewelry out of the purse.


    Although Han and Fang Xinsu were chatting about home affairs, they were distracted and paid attention to leisurely there. When Han saw her coming, he quickly pulled her to his side, sat down and said a few homely things, then whispered, "it''s just something that can''t be put on the table. Don''t pay attention to it." Leisurely smile does not speak. It happened that there was a steward''s daughter-in-law outside, so Han went to the Bi gauze cabinet.


    Seeing that there was no one around, Fang Xinsu looked at her narrowly and said, "I didn''t expect granny Ze to be so aggressive. It''s really rare just now!" Leisurely and calm, he picked up his tea cup and sipped his tea. He squinted at centripetal element and said, "how did you come here so early today? Do you want to see my jokes Fang Xinsu was a little uncomfortable. She picked up the fan in her hand and gently shook it twice. "I can''t see your jokes. I just heard that someone wanted to set up a stage for free, so I came to pay a visit. It''s said that the girl got up at the beginning of the morning to dress up. It''s hard for her father''s daughter to dress up like that. It''s very nice of you to tear down the stage that people have been building for a long time in a few words. How can people fight with you again? " Leisurely smile a "challenge? Who is she? She is not qualified to challenge me. But you don''t see many plays in the palace all day long? A little thing makes you like this? "


    Fang Xinsu was stunned, and then asked in surprise, "don''t you worry at all? If she succeeds that day... "Leisurely hook the corner of the mouth" if it''s really such a day, then it''s her intention, I just live my own life. " She looked at each other''s obviously emaciated face and said softly, "the person who really loves you won''t embarrass you. Some people are not worth fighting for him." Fang Xinsu''s face suddenly darkened when she was aroused by these words. She took her hand leisurely and said, "if they are willing to act, you just have fun. If you are happy, you will tease them a few times. If you are not happy, you will ignore them. Is it really hard to compete with these people? You are the princess of Le''an who is amazing, gorgeous and elegant. What can''t be used for entertainment? Why only focus on those people? "


    Just as she said that, Shen Xiang took her two younger sisters and said, "cousin, sister-in-law, what are you talking about? You don''t want to play with us." Leisurely said with a smile, "we''re just talking about the housekeeper. Why are you so calm today that you didn''t go to play in the garden?"


    Shen Xiang said with a smile, "it''s boring for the three of us. When my sister-in-law didn''t come just now, I went to the back to have a look. I heard that the two begonias on the edge of the rain Pavilion were blooming. Let''s go and have a look together."


    At this time, Fang Xinsu had regained his smile, and took the lead to stand up and say, "it''s just a long time to sit, and the body is a little stiff. It''s good to go out and walk." Smell speech, leisurely also took advantage of the situation to stand up, a group of people and mighty went to listen to the rain Pavilion.


    Today''s Tingyu Pavilion is no different from the previous one. Even the pillar that Han hit at the beginning is not allowed to be replaced. He only washed it clean and repainted it. Seeing this pillar, I thought of the creator of that day. Maybe some people were born to be enemies? The first time we met each other, we met each other tit for tat. This time, the other party took a fancy to her husband. The princess''s style is really open! Although the princess of Dakang is much more fierce, is it really good for her to be so blatant

 Chapter 253

    The two begonias here are bright red. They are in bud at this time. When the flowers wither in the early autumn, they are very bright indeed.


    Leisurely looking at these two flower trees, smelling the fresh fragrance of flowers in the air, I feel that my mind''s thoughts have been washed away, I just feel refreshed. Looking back at Fang Xinsu, she saw that the other party was reaching out and picking a half open Begonia from the branch and sniffing it at the tip of her nose. It seemed that she was aware of her eyes and raised her head to smile at her. People face red against each other, it is indescribable romantic chic!


    After a short stay, Bai Wei came over from the front and said with a smile, "the banquet has been arranged in the flower hall. Please move over."


    All the people listened as like as two peas and walked outside, and Xu Xiyun looked at the pair of agate rings on the hand of Bai Wei. The ring''s material and technology were exactly the same as the earrings they had got. I''m also a miss. Can''t I be the same as a servant girl in that person''s eyes? Yes! She was born as a servant girl. What''s her insight? Xu Xiyun in the heart of leisurely dark loss for a long time to feel some calm.


    Leisurely but no time to talk to her, she has many things to do, do not want to spend the experience on an unrelated person. When I got home in the afternoon, I didn''t care to have a rest, so I was busy with the housework. Although the family''s urgent affairs are reported by the servants, Yang Tianshan has handled them carefully. But the family still accumulated a pile of chores, in addition, there are more than two months of accounts have not been reconciled. The public, her own, Chuang Tzu''s and shop''s have been busy for more than ten days before they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.


    I just didn''t wait to relax. It''s August. I have to prepare for the Mid Autumn Festival and go around to do some work. It''s really a busy time. It was not until mid autumn that I sat down to have a reunion dinner that I relaxed. Outside, someone sent a large basket of crabs with big mouth. Leisurely thought it was too expensive to eat. But look at the other things on the table, leisurely always feel very greasy, no appetite, only the crab is steamed, looking not greasy. So leisurely let the servant girl take one. Su he knew her habit and always thought it was troublesome to eat, so he picked the meat in the crab with a utensil and then brought it to leisurely.


    Leisurely took the dish, picked up chopsticks, just ready to dip in ginger vinegar, I feel this taste strange smell, can''t help retching up, everyone was surprised. Shen Ze quickly held her body and asked, "what''s the matter? But what''s wrong? " Then he said, "go and get the doctor."


    This matter leisurely in the heart some bottom, just has not confirmed all the time, listened to this words to swing a hand "don''t need to be busy first, this meeting son doctor all went home?"? Where are you going, please? Let mother Yang take a car and invite Yulian to come and show me. "


    Shen Ze also hesitated, "well, cousin may have seen your illness?" Wang''s mother said with a smile, "I think I can see it. I''m afraid my uncle is going to be a father again." Although she has already had a son, Shen Ze is still very surprised. She doesn''t care to eat now. She helps leisurely back to the house and lets her lie on the bed.


    After a while, Yulian came over in the dark. "I just lay down with taoliang, and I heard someone knocking on the door. I heard that you were not well, so I came over in a hurry." Tao Liang followed his mother step by step. Leisurely said with a smile, "Tao Liang is here too. In the middle of the night, do you feel cold?" Tao Liang shook his head. "It''s not cold, aunt. Are you better now? " Nod leisurely. Yulian said helplessly, "this child, let her wait at home, I will bring her." Leisurely smile "such a small child, let her at home, you can rest assured that I do not rest assured."


    After Yu Lian calmed down and washed her hands, she felt her pulse. Then he said with a smile, "when I heard mother Yang talking about your symptoms on the road, I estimated that it was true. Today, although the day is shallow, the pulse is still a little weak, but already can feel the slippery pulse. In another seven or eight days, ask an old doctor who has been working for many years to check the pulse and make a diagnosis. "


    Shen Ze was overjoyed. "Since my cousin said that, I think it''s not wrong." Then he said with a smile, "it''s a crime to disturb my cousin so late. It''s really late today. It''s better for my cousin to live here. I don''t trust your sister to let her stay at home tomorrow. I wonder if I can ask my cousin to stay at home for some time, or take care of her nearby? " Yulian said with a smile, "I had planned to do this, but it''s less than three months. Don''t spread it to the outside world. It''s better to avoid it." Shen Ze nodded and let the servant girl take her mother and daughter to the guest house.


    After another ten days or so, Shen Zemu took the post to the Taiyuan hospital and invited a doctor who was good at gynecology to come. Zhou Taiyi confirmed the leisurely pregnancy after the pulse. Then he twisted his beard and said, "my wife has a strong pulse. I think this baby will be safe and smooth. Shen Tongling doesn''t have to worry." Shen Ze quickly thanks Dr. Zhou and asks, "these days, I always lose my appetite, I can''t eat, or I vomit after a while. Last time, it was not like this. How could it be so powerful this time? I wonder if there''s any good way for Taiyi? "


    Zhou Taiyi''s "no problem, but all pregnant women will have such a period of time more or less, as short as ten days, as long as two or three months, it will be good in the past. I think your wife''s pulse is strong. She will be OK for a while and a half. As for eating? In addition to those who can not be cold type of entrance, the side can eat what you eat, eat when you want to eat, don''t worry too much. After a while, if it''s still like this, I''ll go to the Tai hospital to find my husband. "


    In fact, both Yulian and leisurely have said this, but Shen Ze has always been suspicious. Now after listening to the Taiyi''s words, he puts his heart into his stomach. He quickly invited Dr. Zhou to the front yard for a cup of tea, and when he left, he presented him with a big red seal.


    At this meeting, we finally confirmed. Although there is already Kangtai, Shen Ze is still very surprised. He doesn''t have the support of his brother. No matter whether the baby is male or female, his son will have the support of his own flesh and blood in the future, which is much better than him.


    Although we couldn''t talk about it three months ago, mother Lin always wanted to know, so leisurely sent someone to the Lin family to send a message. Sure enough, not half an hour later, Lin''s mother and Zhuang Shu came with a lot of supplements. After seeing leisurely, I can''t help sighing, "it''s only a few days. How can I lose so much weight? Look at the little white face. The chin is sharp. "

 Chapter 254

    Leisurely these days by pregnant vomiting torture pale, not as comfortable as the dark days before. At the moment, he just said with a smile, "I''m not so sad when I was with Kangtai. This child is a naughty one. Now I''m starting to toss."


    Lin''s mother said with a smile, "Pishi is better. Although you as a mother have to suffer some crimes, the child grows well. How skinny are you now


    Leisurely smell speech just discover Xing elder brother son didn''t follow one to come over, then ask "how mother and younger sister didn''t take him to come over?"


    Zhuang Shu said with a smile, "isn''t today muxiu? My husband took Xing Ge''er to Minghe academy to see him. "


    "So it is." Nod leisurely.


    Lin''s mother said with a smile, "I''m going to ask you to go to Guanyin Temple in two days. But on March 3, when I went to Huangjue temple to offer incense, I made a wish for you. Now that my wish has been fulfilled, I will go to pay it for you in a few days. "


    At this time, Yulian brought a bowl of yam black chicken soup, Zhuang Shu quickly stood up and took the tray. Lin''s mother came forward with a smile and held her hands. "It''s said that you are here to take care of you these two days. It''s really hard for you."


    Yulian smile "are their own family, what is not hard hard? If it wasn''t for my cousin and aunt, how could I be today? If my cousin is willing to use me, she can look up to me. Even if my aunt has anything to say, she will do her best. "


    After hearing this, Mrs. Lin said with a smile, "since you said so, I won''t be polite to you. I have something to look for you. Leisurely says that you have a lot of opinions with gynecology. It happens that your sister-in-law is not well these days. You can help her to have a look. "


    Smell speech, is drinking soup leisurely look up to Zhuang Shu "what''s the matter with sister-in-law? What''s wrong? "


    Zhuang Shu laughs, "it''s nothing serious, just that recently I always feel some pain in my stomach. I just cleaned up a few days ago, and this meeting has come again." On hearing this, leisurely heart a surprised sister-in-law, this is not threatened abortion, right?


    Listen to Zhuang Shu''s words, jade lotus''s facial expression also dignified rise, immediately then ask her to sit down on the chair, stretch out the wrist. After the two wrists had been examined, Yulian frowned and asked, "is there anything unusual about my sister-in-law''s last day? For example, shorter time or less quantity? "


    Zhuang Shu nodded and said, "exactly. In the past, small days took four or five days, and they had to be changed several times a day. This time, they were clean in less than three days, but they always felt the pain of the tummy." The jade lotus changed a hand again, carefully diagnosed a time, say "if right words, you this should be to have body pregnancy."


    Zhuang Shu frowned and said, "no? But my little days have just gone. " The jade lotus says "see red should be because of you this embryo elephant some unsteady, or suddenly ate cold thing to cause." Hearing this, Lin''s mother quickly said, "isn''t it? I remember that a colleague of huizi''an in mid autumn sent some horseshoe cakes from the south. Because the entrance is smooth, they are not the same as our snacks. My mother and I ate a lot of fresh food, and the next day our daughter-in-law turned red, but for this reason? "


    The jade lotus nods "should be, horseshoe is cold thing, if not pregnant, eat less no harm, but with pregnant eat this is extremely harmful to the fetus. I think it''s because of this that my sister-in-law has become popular. Fortunately, my sister-in-law is young and in good health, so it''s not a big problem. But these days or stay in bed, take it two pairs of anti pregnancy drugs as well


    Seeing that Zhuang Shu still had some hesitation on her face, she gave Yulian a leisurely wink. Yulian said, "this is too careless. I''m not good at medicine. I''d better ask another doctor to come and have a pulse again." Leisurely sighed in his heart, and then said, "the last time I felt my pulse, Zhou Taiyi had a good pulse. Hurry up, take my uncle''s post and go again." Then he said to Zhuang Shu, "my cousin''s medical skills are more and more advanced now. My happy pulse is diagnosed by her. I think it''s not much different from you. Don''t stand any longer. There is no outsider here. Go to the couch over there How long will it take for the servant to invite doctor Zhou. Because of the presence of Lin''s mother, Dr. Zhou was an old man in his 60s, so everyone did not evade. After he passed the pulse, Dr. Zhou said with a smile, "the family is really prosperous, and this grandmother is also a happy pulse. It''s just a few days away from Grandma Shen. Congratulations."


    Although Yulian also diagnosed a happy pulse, but everyone Zhuang Shu still has doubts about her medical skills. Now, after listening to Dr. Zhou''s words, we are at ease. Lin''s mother said with a quick smile, "Dr. Xie Jiyan, it''s just that my daughter-in-law has not been comfortable these days. Is the baby still safe?"


    Zhou Taiyi replied with a smile, "although a little weak, but there is no major event, this period of time more rest." Lin''s mother asked, "do you want to drink two pairs of tocolysis pills?"


    Zhou Taiyi pondered: "the image of the fetus is still stable. If you want to drink two pairs of anti abortion drugs, you can drink them if you don''t want to. It''s possible to eat more herbal food, but not too much. One bowl a day is enough. Other as long as according to the normal diet, avoid those cold things can


    In this way, Lin''s mother and Zhuang Shu''s heart can be regarded as having the bottom. At the moment, they wrapped a big red envelope and let people have a good life to send Zhou Taiyi away.


    This time, Yulian said, "since doctor Zhou has said that this tocolysis drug can not be drunk, let''s not drink it. It''s more uncomfortable to drink those bitter Decoction drugs. Just now, the black chicken soup of yam stewed by you ran is still simmering on the stove. This soup is the most nourishing and safe for the fetus. Would you like a bowl of it, too Zhuang Shu nodded with a smile, "that would bother my cousin. I haven''t thank her yet. If my cousin didn''t help me out just now, I still don''t know. I don''t know what will happen. "


    Yulian patted her hand. "We don''t have to thank ourselves, let alone you. Even when I didn''t learn this before, I was very confused. Now that you''ve determined that it''s Ximai, relax your mind and take good care of it. Whether it''s adding a younger brother or a younger sister to Xing Ge''er, I think the second aunt is happy. "


    After a while, the maid brought the black chicken soup, and Zhuang Shu drank a bowl. I don''t know whether the soup works or I''m at ease. In a word, Zhuang Shu feels much lighter. She wanted to go back as soon as possible, but she took a leisurely look at the sky and said, "it''s almost noon. I don''t think the family has prepared any food for you, so it''s still troublesome to go back. It''s better to eat here and then go back. It''s just a good time to have a rest and save the trouble. "

 Chapter 255

    Lin''s mother also advised, "it''s right. I''ll go back to the cold pot and stove. It''s not cheap to ask for anything. It''s not out of town. Let''s get together now. " Zhuang Shu should go down.


    After lunch, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a brief conversation, and then they asked someone to set up a car to go back. Leisurely also no empty stay, just let people take a thick cushion and back to the carriage, let Zhuang Shu sit can be comfortable.


    The daughter and daughter-in-law are pregnant at the same time, which makes Lin''s mother upset. She wanders back and forth every day, worrying about both this and that. Zhuang Shu didn''t vomit, but she was still sick and couldn''t eat. Leisurely, it''s delicious to eat, but it often spits up after eating, tossing several times a day. Lin''s mother just wanted to be able to separate herself and guard one on the one side, so as to save her worry.


    Fortunately, the leisurely pregnancy and vomiting did not last for a long time. After a month, it gradually stopped. When Lin''s mother saw that her daughter was becoming more and more stable, she was relieved to take care of her daughter-in-law at home.


    Leisurely although did not want to publicize, but often to a few or gradually get the letter. People have packed up the right supplements and things to send over.


    When Fang Xinsu got up early and was dressing up, he got the news and said with a smile, "no wonder I haven''t seen anything happening to her these days. It turns out that she is raising the baby at home. It''s very fast!" Hawksbill, who was dressing her up, said with a smile, "if the princess envies her, why don''t you have one in your arms?" With that, he felt as if he had said something wrong.


    Just at this time, the little maid outside said, "aunt Zhao has come to greet the princess." Fang Xinsu frowned and said, "didn''t I say I''d let her go?". Aunt Zhao is no other than Jinluo. She used to be a palace maid of high rank. Jinluo thought that it was just for the sake of giving her a proper title. At least she should be a child or something. I didn''t expect that Fang Xinsu said to Qi Heng directly in front of her, "although she came out of the palace, since she''s my slave with me, what I can''t tolerate most is the thing that betrays the Lord. Now that you are in love, she should tell me clearly that she is just a concubine, and I have no reason to stop you. Who is disgusting at all these dirty things? Otherwise, if I have your flesh and blood in her stomach, I will definitely cut her grade and throw her to the Huanyi Bureau as a coolie. Now the right is to see in your face, free her punishment, but what kind of decent is not to think about. I have already reported to the queen and crossed her name out of the maid''s file. After that, there was only aunt Zhao, not aunt Jinluo. " This matter is Qi Heng''s fault after all, and Wen Yan didn''t express any objection. This let aunt Zhao greatly disappointed, although in the heart extremely unwilling, but now the situation is not from people, she had to temporarily hibernate.


    But she always behaves herself in peace these days. Fang Xinsu has avoided her daily greetings. She hasn''t been here for a long time. Today, I don''t know which tendon is wrong, so I came to ask for my regards. Seeing that the master''s face was not worried, the screen quickly said to the outside world, "the princess hasn''t finished cleaning. Please wait a moment for Aunt Zhao." Then he held a one foot high pear makeup box and said, "princess, what do you want to wear today?" Fang Xin never likes gold ornaments. Most of them are pearls, emeralds, white jade and agate. She looked at them once and said, "just wear this set of white jade inlaid with red treasure. I''ll go to congratulate Mrs. Shen in person later. I remember that in the Sichuan brocade sent by Bashu a few days ago, there was a rose red durian with a hundred flowers and a lilac and purple dandelion pattern. You can find it out. " The screen agreed to go.


    Fang Xinsu had just combed her bun, but before she finished putting it on, she heard a sound of please. It seems that Qi Heng is coming. She gave a sneer. No wonder the new aunt Zhao had to come here today to ask for her good-bye. She thought she would come again to sow dissension. I thought he was a smart guy. Now, that''s it. At first, I thought that if she was safe and stable in the future, I would not mind giving her some dignity. But if she had to die in a hurry, then she was not good. These days passed, she also wanted to open, how this day has to go on. What cousin and leisurely say is right. She is not controlled by her mother-in-law. As long as she doesn''t overturn the house, Qi Heng can''t do anything about her. Then she just lives according to her heart.


    Fang Xinsu''s heart turned thousands of times in an instant. After a while, Qi Heng walked in with great strides, and the servant girls said hello. Only Fang Xinsu sat firmly in front of the dresser and said faintly, "here comes the Lord." Then he never looked at him again, as for his aunt Zhao was ignored. Seeing her like this, Qi Heng felt a little puzzled. He still put his arms around her shoulder with a smile. Then he praised her, "today''s jewelry is very good. It''s even more elegant. It''s just that I got a pair of suet jade bracelets on a white background, which is very suitable for this set of jewelry. I''ll try it on for you. " Then he took out a big box from his sleeve and a pair of white jade bracelets from inside. The quality of the bracelet is not the best, but it has a white base and a wisp of scarlet flowers floating on it. The red color is bright, and the suede jade is more reserved than the other materials, which makes fangxinsu like it more than the original pair of bracelets in the jewelry. Qi Heng was originally afraid of Fang Xinsu''s refusal, but Fang Xinsu obediently asked him to put on a bracelet for himself, and then he said, "the Lord is bothering." Although still a little cold, but as long as she does not shut herself out, Qi Heng believes that he can still coax her back. Fang Xinsu put on and went to the flower hall for breakfast. Qi Heng also sat down with him. Fang Xinsu didn''t show any objection. It seemed that it was a matter of course. This makes Qi Heng''s heart more stable. Seeing that Fang Xinsu was dressed up ceremoniously today, he asked with a smile, "will Su Su go out later?" Fang Xinsu nodded, "yes, Shen Tongling''s wife is pregnant again. I want to have breakfast to see her."


    Smell speech Qi Heng a smile "this Shen Tong leads of action is quite sharp, just don''t know Su Su when give morning elder brother add a younger brother younger sister?" Fang Xinsu glanced at Aunt Zhao standing on one side. "Isn''t it coming soon? How nice that I can be a ready-made mother without suffering myself. " Qi Heng a listen to her words, immediately annoyed patted his head, really a pig brain, which pot does not open which pot!


    The room quieted down for a moment. At this time, Huaping came in with two little servant girls holding things. "Madam, the two pieces of Sichuan brocade you asked me to look for have been taken over. Look, are they?" Fang Xinsu glanced at it and said, "well, all the colors and patterns are right. Let''s put them aside. I forgot to tell you that you didn''t know how to take two pieces of material and give them to Aunt Zhao. It''s hard for me to avoid her greeting. She still remembers to come to serve her early in the morning. It''s just that the clothes are too shabby. The sleeves of the clothes are rough. Did you not send it to her? "

 Chapter 256

    Coral, who had been promoted to be the steward, immediately said, "if you go back to the steward, the maidservants dare not neglect aunt Zhao. Because of her mother''s words, aunt Zhao''s body should be doubled now. At the beginning of this month, the clothes, materials and silver jewelry that Aunt Zhao should have been given away. "


    Fang Xinsu looked at Aunt Zhao again, "is Zhou Rong''s family right? Have you received all your copies? If there is any grievance, just say it. If the prince is here, it is the princess''s negligence. There is always the prince''s decision for you! "


    Aunt Zhao quickly bowed herself and said, "the empress is virtuous. I''ve received the order from my maid and concubine, but I''m used to wearing old clothes, which worries the empress and the Lord." Fang Xinsu shook his head. "You used to be sensible when you were by my side. You dressed up all day. Why is this meeting so ignorant? Now you are the prince''s person. You are so shabby that outsiders think that the prince can''t afford his concubine. Don''t say it''s my aunt. Even the little servant girls in our palace don''t wear old clothes with rough edges. Aren''t you making people laugh? Don''t do that in the future. We''ll lose the dignity of the palace. "


    Aunt Zhao was thinking of wearing this dress in front of Qi Heng secretly on an eye medicine or something, did not expect that fangxinsu did not play cards according to the principle. She can only be bowed, lowered his head, but not from secretly clenched the hands of the PA Zi. Yes, her copy has been sent long ago. But those clothes materials are not the same as she used to be, even the third class maid in front of the princess would not wear them. It''s also silk and satin. What''s the difference between them? But the steward of the Palace said that according to the rules, my aunt''s share is of this grade. If you want to buy something good, you can buy it with your private house.


    Now she is really not sure whether she is right or wrong to take this step. When she used to be a female official around Fang Xinsu, she was the first to receive any reward. The next people in the house are busy to say hello to each other. During the new year''s festival, the village managers everywhere will offer a lot of filial piety. Although her original monthly rule was only two liang of silver, there were tens of liang of rewards and the filial piety of the steward every month. In addition to other clothing and jewelry, the private house was really not small. Now I''m an aunt. Although I''m half a master, I''m just deceiving myself. If she''s favored, it''s just that the two masters in the house don''t want to see her. Who else in the house is willing to look her in the eye? She used to come out of the palace relying on herself. Although she didn''t bully others, some of her eyes were clean and disdained to deal with those rough wives and little maids. Now, it''s a lonely place. And the princess, usually looking at the arrogance and aloofness, is not weak at all. She didn''t care about her past feelings at all. Now, she really regretted it.


    When Aunt Zhao stepped down, she just passed by the two Sichuan brocade on the table. He is also a slave, and she is a higher ranking female official. Why is Lin Youran so lucky? Why is God so unfair to her!?


    Some people are born like this, it is clear that their own mistakes first, but never consider their own mistakes, only blindly blame others. If Fang Xinsu knew what she thought in her heart, she would spit on her face on the spot. Really, it''s too much to compare herself with leisurely! But she didn''t have time to guess aunt Zhao''s mind. She had breakfast and cleaned it up. Fang Xinsu was ready to go. Qi Hengzhi sent the man to Zhuque street, and then turned around to Yamen. Fang Xinsu looked at each other''s back from behind the curtain of the carriage. He couldn''t help laughing. He knew why he had to do it! Do you think you can change your mind with this little favor? What have you been doing? If it wasn''t for her son, she wouldn''t want to be the princess. My cousin is right. It''s far better to rely on a man than a son. For her son, she will hold the backyard firmly in her hand.


    When Fang Xinsu arrived at leisurely''s home, leisurely was pouring Rouge under the corridor. Seeing her coming, she quickly gave her things to the maid, washed them by herself, and took her into the inner room. Fang Xinsu joked, "you''re very leisurely, and you''re still in the mood to do this." Leisurely said with a smile, "now all the people at home are staring at me. They are not allowed to do needlework or read books. It''s not convenient for me to go out like this. It''s really boring. It happens that the roses in the back greenhouse are just in bud. It''s good to use them as rouge. Anyway, they''re free. Let''s just pass the time. "


    "You, I don''t know where you come from. The box of perfume powder you sent me last time is light and moist. It''s not stagnant at all. It''s better than the one in the palace." The maid brought hot tea, and Fang Xinsu said with a smile as she picked up the cup. Leisurely also reached for the tea cup and said with a smile, "of course, no matter how good the powder is outside, it''s hard to avoid adding some lead powder inside. The one I gave you is not the same. It''s made of purple jasmine seeds mixed with pearl powder and several precious spices. Naturally, it''s not comparable to ordinary fat powder. But if you say it''s better than the one in the palace, I dare not recognize it. But you''ve been using it for a long time. I''m afraid you''re tired of it. That''s why you say it''s good. " Fang Xinsu shook his head. "If it''s good to use, can you still use it? The so-called entering things are just pleasant to listen to. They are not necessarily better than those outside. It''s like it''s used by the empress. It''s all made by someone in the house. Those women who are favored or have a good family background are also respected. Only those low-ranking concubines and maids would use the outside to enter. And then they were rewarded by the masters in the palace. Don''t say it''s someone else. Even you don''t wear outside clothes now, do you? The truth is the same. " It turns out that there is still such a thing, nodding leisurely and agreeably, "since you like it, let someone send it to you when it''s ready next time." Then he picked up the cup and sipped.


    Since she was pregnant, she didn''t dare to drink tea, and she didn''t like sweet tea like red dates and longan tea, so the maid brought her a cup of boiled water. She took a sip and felt that she couldn''t get used to it, so she put out her hand and pinched a few clusters of osmanthus flowers on one side of the flower rack and put them into a water cup. When the flower was hot, it immediately sent out several times of fragrance. It took a deep breath leisurely and felt as if it was just right. Then it sipped again.


    Fang Xinsu, who sat next to him and saw this conversation, joked, "you are also very cruel. Say you are meticulous, so rough and hard to swallow corn cake you also eat with relish. Sometimes you are more particular than my cousin and I. I really don''t know what to say about you. "


    While they were drinking tea and chatting, somewhere outside the palace, the woman in paddy field clothes listened to the reward of her subordinates and snorted, "pregnant? Lin Youran is really lucky! It''s just that women are always very dangerous when they have children. I don''t know if Mrs. Shen is lucky enough to have a safe birth. Send someone to the Shen family as soon as possible. " The man in black agreed to bow.

 Chapter 257

    Leisurely didn''t know that someone had already reached her. Even if she knew, she wouldn''t care. Because some people can''t jump now. No matter how simple she is, she is also a person who has been influenced by many gongdou novels and TV dramas. She knows that some things always need to be done first. Although Lezhen was a little more careful than before, she was stabbed to the palace by someone who had a heart. Within a few days, the empress herself issued a decree to welcome Lezhen back to the palace from baiyun''an in the name of praying for the blessing of the country. Then she went to tianning''an in the palace and sent dozens of eunuchs and maidens to guard her in turn, forbidding her to step out of the palace. Full of ambition was cut off by Shengsheng again. Lezhen only jumped in Tianning nunnery angrily, but no one dared to let her out of the nunnery this time.


    As for Miss Xu, I heard that she was "sick" when she came home that day. It''s the second aunt who can''t feel leisurely''s pulse, but Shen Xiang''s mother and daughter won''t offend leisurely for a cousin who has no blood relationship. Soon, with the help of the second wife, Miss Xu was married to the son of a six grade official. Soon after marriage, he went to Jiangxi with his husband''s family.


    This day, leisurely see the sky is good, autumn high day is cool, after a period of time will snow, at that time don''t want to go out, just want to go to Wenhua street to have a look. After walking around the street and buying some gadgets at will, she wanted to go to her bookshop. The coachman drove to the front door of the bookstore. He got out of the carriage and was preparing to go to the bookstore. He saw a noise coming from the alley next to the bookstore. Leisurely can''t help frowning. It seems that it came from the door of their guest house. Her body is inconvenient, let a small fellow that follows go to inquire after all.


    When I entered the bookstore, I saw that there was no one in it. I couldn''t help wondering. A waiter, who knew her well, came up and said, "Hello, madam." Leisurely asked, "I didn''t see the shop so cold when I came here. Where''s your shopkeeper?"


    The man said with a smile, "madam, there are many people in this shop. It''s not that there are great Confucians giving lectures in Wenhua academy today. All the students have gone to the lectures, so few people come to buy things. "


    Leisurely suddenly realized, "so it is. Do you know what will happen next?"


    The waiter shook his head. "It''s a guy who lives in our inn. He died a few days ago. He''s doing his work. It seems that his wife and concubine are fighting. The shopkeeper has gone to mediate. "


    Leisurely frown, heard that it is this kind of thing, there is no mind to ask again, and asked, "what kind of new gossip and travel notes are there in the shop recently?"


    As soon as there is a new book in the shop, people will send it home at the first time. However, since she was pregnant, her cousin Yang Lu refused to let people send new books to her home with the help of Shen Ze, which made her very boring. This meeting took the opportunity to collect all the new books in the shop recently. There were about ten in total, which was enough for her to spend some time. Let the servant move the book to the car, she estimated that the time out is not short, then ready to go back.


    Just at this time, my cousin came back from the outside with a sigh. As he walked, he muttered, "it''s really bad luck." Looking up, it was my cousin standing in front of me. I asked, "it''s noisy here. How can my cousin come here at this time?"


    Leisurely back to the road, "originally came out to buy some things, thought for a long time did not come, drop in to see. What''s wrong with my cousin''s face? What''s going on in the back yard? "


    Yang Lu went into the inner hall and sat down, then frowned and said, "you have a big stomach now. I didn''t want to tell you. But now there is something wrong in our territory. If it doesn''t work well, it will be implicated in my brother-in-law with ulterior motives. Let me tell you. Zheng Juren, who rented our house, was asked by his wife to have a row because of his concubine. His mother-in-law was so shrewd and unreasonable that she had to force Zheng Juren to give up her concubine immediately, or go to the Yamen to sue him for remarriage. Zheng Ju was so angry that he had a stroke. He went there without waiting for the doctor. This is not, this Zheng Ju person''s first seven haven''t passed, his that mother-in-law made a fuss to drive out concubine''s mother and son three people. Several of Zheng Juren''s classmates advised me for a long time. Zheng Juren''s wife didn''t have a baby. If she really can''t accommodate her concubine, it''s better for her to leave those two children. Who knows that the woman just does not let go and insists that the origin of these two children is not clear. The concubine didn''t want to leave her son in the hands of the eldest woman. She would rather leave with her child. " Leisurely some doubt of ask "this Zheng Niang son how so fierce?"? The concubines who have been born and raised are not so easy to send, are they? Did you buy that concubine? "


    Yang Lu shook his head. "It''s not true. This Zheng Juren often comes to our second floor to copy some books and exchange some copper money to supplement our family. He is also familiar with me. So I heard him talk about his family''s affairs. He has been married to his wife for more than ten years and has not had children. Because his mother-in-law''s family was very powerful, he didn''t dare to take concubines in his hometown. It was not until the year of 67 when he came to the capital for the examination that he secretly found a concubine. The concubine''s maiden name was Chen, and she was the daughter of a good family. But my parents and elder brother left early, and there was only one widowed sister-in-law and one nephew left in the family. That year, in order to make medicine for his seriously ill nephew, he had to accept twenty Liang betrothal gifts and become a concubine for Zheng Juren. This Chen family is also a blessed one. She was pregnant soon after she entered the house. The next year, she gave birth to a big fat boy, but Zheng Ju was very happy. Later, after two years, he gave birth to another daughter. Zheng Juren had both children. At that time, he looked much younger. But these things Zheng Ju people are hiding from his hometown, dare not let people know, in order to avoid people''s ears and eyes, he did not live with his fellow countrymen. It''s just that there are no impermeable walls in the world. I don''t know who sent the news back to his hometown this time. His mother-in-law came to the door with her family. "


    Leisurely then said, "in that case, the Chen family is a good concubine. Even if she is the principal, she can''t do anything about her, can she? Moreover, since it is her mother-in-law who is so angry with her husband that no one will sue the official? "


    Yang Lu sighed, "as the saying goes, it''s not worth your life to be angry. It''s not so easy to understand such housework. Zheng Juren was from other places, and no other relatives were here. Although the onlookers were not angry, they were not the victims, and they could not go to the Yamen to complain. If that lady Zheng was a reasonable person, she would not have killed Zheng Ju. It''s just pity for Chen. Although he has a pair of children, Zheng Juren''s wealth is not to be touched. How can a young woman live with a pair of young children? "


    Hearing this, she said leisurely, "didn''t lady Zheng give Chen some money?"

 Chapter 258

    Yang Lu replied, "that lady Zheng was going to let her mother go out of the house. Instead, Chen changed her usual weakness. She took a pair of scissors from somewhere and put them on Mrs. Zheng''s neck. She threatened that if she didn''t give them a living, she would kill Mrs. Zheng first and then take her two children to the well. Although she was shrewd, she was also afraid of death. On the spot, she asked her family to take 20 liang of silver and give it to Chen Shi. Chen Shi was ready to take the baggage she had packed up and left with her two children. She had worked in our clothing shop before. Your sister-in-law took her to the shop when she saw that her mother had no place to go for a while


    Wang is afraid of this. It sounds like Chen is also a hard-working woman with two young children. Leisurely not from the heart of compassion, and asked "this Chen''s craft how?"


    Yang Lu said, "Chen''s needlework is good, or the steward next door can''t accept her embroidery."


    Wen Yan leisurely nodded, "my cousin, let''s see. If there is no problem with Mrs. Chen''s conduct, let her go to the next room to be an embroiderer and make room for her three. We don''t have to rent a house. We can still support their mothers with our salary. "


    Yang Lu nodded and said, "your cousin''s sister-in-law is still walking around with Mrs. Chen on weekdays. She''s always said that she''s a good girl. I don''t think she''s wrong. It''s easy to say how much money is paid. I see that Chen''s family has a good fortune. In the past, she was in charge of Zheng Juren''s money. I''m afraid she had to worry about it. However, their mothers are full of filial piety, and people around them have to avoid it, and they don''t want to get involved in the disputes between their wives and concubines. No one is willing to rent a house for them. If the orphans and widows live in the streets and have another twenty liang of silver on their face, they are afraid that they will not be able to use it. Tomorrow, they will lose both the money and the people. My cousin''s willingness to accept her is to give them a way to live, and it''s also a good thing to accumulate happiness and virtue. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "I''ve always been hard-working. I don''t care much about this. Listen to my cousin, it''s also a hard life. If we can help, just give us a hand. And the fate of Zheng Juren, no matter what, is always not in our territory, this Zheng Niang is not willing to see. My cousin, help me to make an arrangement. Don''t let him have nothing to do behind him. "


    They said something else and went back home. She didn''t take it to heart. She went home and sighed with Shen Ze, but forgot it.


    After about two months, there were several snows in the capital. The weather was very cold and there was a thick layer of snow on the ground. Leisurely can not go out, this day at home bored, Yang Lu''s wife Xu suddenly came. Leisurely listened to the servant''s notice, personally welcomed to the main room outside, "this cold day, cold and slippery on the road, my cousin has something to do, just send someone to come here, how can I come here in person?"


    Xu said with a smile, "two days ago, people from his hometown sent a lot of wild animals. One of them was a fox skin, which was snow-white and had no miscellaneous hair. I thought you could match it, so I sent it to you. There are also a few deer skins. Although they are poor, they are not good enough to make boots


    Leisurely, she took a look at the fox skin with her maid''s hand. If it was really white, it could not be said that it was expensive. She said with a smile, "it''s a good thing for my cousin to keep and give it to me. I''m really sorry."


    Xu said with a smile, "I''m the one who''s sorry. I don''t know how many good things I''ve missed you. Now I''m just paying back. If you don''t accept it, you''ll hit me in the face."


    Leisurely and hastily said with a smile, "my cousin said that, but it''s too much for me. I''ll take it. If my sister-in-law has any good things in the future, just send them to me. I will not refuse them." Xu said, "it''s easy to say." Just as the maid was about to carry all the things that Xu had brought to the warehouse, Xu suddenly said, "wait a minute. Look at my memory. I brought something for others today. I almost forgot it." Then he took out a one foot long brocade box from the things he had brought and handed it to leisurely. "This is a thank-you gift I sent you for others. Open it and see if you like it?"


    Thank you? Leisurely for a time some doubts, who will ask Xu to send things to themselves? She hesitated to open the brocade box. There was a scroll in it. It looked like an embroidery. When you open the scroll, you can see a bunch of green bamboo embroidered on the painting. Two or three peach blossoms are in full bloom among the lush bamboo leaves, and two or three wild geese perch on the peach branches. This embroidery is an imitation of the painting of bamboo branch by Yu Hui, a famous flower and bird painter of the current Dynasty. The reason why you ran remembers it so clearly is that the painting is her dowry, which was given by her adoptive father Han Shangshu before she came out of the cabinet. When the bookstore opened, she took it to the copy room on the second floor of the bookstore to hang a full facade. Mr. Yu Hui was a tanhualang in the first imperial examination of the Kang Dynasty. I heard that he was more elegant than pan an. He was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and had captured the hearts of countless girls. He was also a Bachelor of Arts in Guozijian. Even Han Dishi had heard his lectures at the beginning, so he has a great position in today''s literary world. Looking back at this painting, Mr. Yu''s painting is still popular because it is not very old. Many scholars have copied his paintings, and have seen many good imitations. But it''s the first time she''s ever seen an imitation of embroidery. To be honest, the embroidery is also very good. The stitching is neat and delicate, the color is vivid, and there''s no dullness. When you put it in the distance, it''s like painting. Leisurely praised at the moment, "this craft is really amazing. I don''t think it''s under my craft."


    Xu was surprised and said, "it''s true or not. Your embroidery skill is praised by the Empress Dowager. How can it compare with you?" Leisurely nodded, "how can I have a serious pinch needle in the past two years? This is better than me now. My cousin said quickly, "who embroidered this?"


    Xu replied with a smile, "it''s either someone else, or the widow concubine of Zheng Juren, Chen''s wife. After Zheng Juren left, her eldest wife couldn''t bear her, and she and her mother''s sister-in-law were a little dirty. The big woman of the Zheng family is fierce. She won''t let her neighbors help her. They are almost sleeping on the street. Thanks to your words, let our shop accept her. They have a secure place. This man is a man who knows his kindness and plans to repay it. He has your kindness in mind. In the past two months, apart from working, I stayed up late every day to spare some time to embroider this picture and asked me to send it to you. If you say you have nothing, take this as a token of gratitude. She wanted to come and kowtow to you in person, but now it''s the time of employing people in the shop, and she has no time to come. "

 Chapter 259

    This Chen family has a heart. She must have inquired about her preferences before she embroidered this picture. She used to embroider things for others, but now she has become a gift collector. Leisurely praised "the craftsmanship is really fine, the mind is also dexterous. She''s lost her skill in sewing clothes in the shop. " Then he said to Su He, "send someone with a sharp mouth to take a car to the silk shop and say that I like the craftsmanship of Lady Chen and ask her to stay at home for a while and help me with some work. Let the manager find a few other people to spend money from my private account. " Then he asked Xu, "how old are her two children?"


    "The older one is his son, five years old, and the younger one is his daughter, three years old."


    Leisurely relaxed tone "are still children, do not have to avoid, let people will cousin often live in the courtyard of the West ear room picked up for their mother a few temporary residence, bedding and so on, you find someone to look at some neat." Su he agreed to do it.


    Su he finds his mother Yang, who is used to going out, to do it. Although mother Yang doesn''t want to go out in the ice and snow. But Su he is now leisurely around the boss big maid, Yang mother also dare not complain, had to clean up and go.


    After listening to mother Yang''s words, the shopkeeper of the silk shop didn''t want to. After all, it''s almost the end of the festival now, and there is a lack of embroiderers in ready-made clothes. Now he has to go to another one with the best craftsmanship. But he didn''t dare to disobey the master''s meaning, so he had to let Chen pack up quickly and follow Yang''s mother to Shen''s house. The shopkeeper estimated that the Chen family got the green eye of the master''s son''s grandmother. Later, he pointed out that it might be developed. He laughed and said a lot of compliments. Chen''s smile one by one should be, nimbly packed things, with a pair of children followed Yang mother on the carriage.


    At home there are rolling beef soup and fresh beef and mutton, at noon, leisurely let people make a hot pot, and Xu two people eat heartily. Xu said with a smile, "this season, I often eat this kind of food at home, but the taste is much worse than that of my sister''s family. Every time the head of the family came to eat, he would scold me once when he went back. I was not convinced in the past. Today, I only knew it was delicious. No wonder your cousin never forgets


    Leisurely said with a smile, "what''s the matter? It''s just that the bottom of the soup and the dipping materials take more effort. After a while, I''ll ask someone to copy a prescription for my cousin, who will go back and try it." Xu hesitated and said, "this is not very good. After all, this prescription belongs to your family."


    "What''s the point? It''s not like I''m going to run a food shop and make money from it. "


    Xu said, "in this case, I''m not polite. Speaking of the food shop, your pickle shop is very popular now. Last time, I saw a scholar from other places in the guest house who bought it and was going to take it back to his hometown. "


    Just then, the servant reported that Chen Niangzi had come, and leisurely asked someone to bring them. Since she got out of the carriage, she didn''t dare to look at them. She held a child in her hand and kept telling them to be obedient. In winter, there is a big temperature difference between the house and the outside. Although there is a stove on the carriage, it''s freezing all the way. From the cold outdoor to the warm indoor, Chen suddenly felt like a fairyland. She held her breath. As soon as she came in, she took the two children and knelt down in the middle of the room With that, he took a pair of children and knocked a few heads.


    Leisurely see, quickly let people pull their mother up, "you are not my servant, don''t do this big gift, just a little effort, really can''t be so." Hearing this, Chen choked, "Granny Yu is just a little help, but it''s a life-saving favor for our three mothers. We will never forget grandma''s great kindness. " If they are orphans and widows, they will come out with money. I''m afraid they can''t keep it. If they can''t say it well, it''s even more attractive. But the widow''s sister-in-law was mean. She couldn''t go back to her mother''s house. The people around her didn''t dare to rent a house for her. The shopkeeper of the clothing shop was afraid to take them in for fear of being involved. If not leisurely here opened mouth, that meeting son she is really have no place to go.


    This lady Chen''s appearance is similar to what she thought. She is thin and tall. Although her appearance is not very outstanding, she is also a bit delicate. On such a cold day, she was only wearing a thick semi new cotton padded jacket, and her face turned blue with cold. However, the clothes on the two children are much thicker. It''s a new cotton padded jacket this year. For a moment, leisurely and heartfelt, this should be the portrayal of most mothers in the world. They would rather starve and freeze themselves than take care of their children properly.


    These thoughts are just a flash of thought, leisurely let the servant girl to show them seats, Chen is a little stiff, or Xu advised, "your boss grandma has always been kind, let you sit, you just sit." Chen Fang sat on the edge of the chair carefully.


    Leisurely let people take two bags to two children, one for each, and then asked with a smile, "I still like the embroidery you gave me. I haven''t seen such outstanding craftsmanship for a long time."


    Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "grandma, I''m flattered. You don''t blame me for playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong''s door. It''s your generosity. I can''t praise you. If it wasn''t for grandma''s kindness and acceptance of our three mothers, we still don''t know what to do. I don''t have any other skills, only this child red is still able to take the hand. I heard that grandma is not well now, so I embroidered this on my own. Fortunately, it''s my intention. It''s lucky that grandma doesn''t dislike it. "


    There was something interesting in this passage. He shook his head leisurely and said, "such a good girl is going to compare with xiuniang in our house. How can I still dislike it. Listen to your extraordinary talk, you must have read a book? "


    Wen Yan''s respectful reply: "I dare not say that I have read books. My brother, who learned from me when I was a child, recognized a few words. Later, he learned some words from my master, but he barely recognized some words."


    He nodded leisurely and said, "that''s very good. I think your needling technique is exquisite and unique. It''s not like a common craft in Beijing. Where do you learn from?" Chen said with a smile, "I can''t talk about my teacher. My mother used to be from Suzhou. When my father was young, he went with his master to buy goods from Suzhou, so they got to know each other. After I got married, my mother came to Beijing with my father. Since I was four or five years old, I''ve been learning needlework from my mother. Now it''s 20 years. I have some experience. "

 Chapter 260

    Suzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital. Why did Chen''s mother get married away from her family. Chen''s words are unavoidably unknown. Chen''s speech and behavior are not like ordinary people can teach them. I''m afraid her mother has some origins, but since the other party doesn''t say it, leisurely doesn''t want to ask any more, she just says with a smile, "it seems that your father and your father are just a long-distance marriage. If your father hadn''t married to the capital thousands of miles away, I''m afraid I would not have seen such exquisite craftsmanship today. I don''t like twists and turns. I like your craft. I want you to help me embroider something. Would you like to? "


    Chen quickly stood up and bowed, "grandma looks up to my idea. The craftsmanship is my nature. There''s nothing she doesn''t want. Grandma just tells me."


    See her this appearance, leisurely smile to signal her to sit down, square ask "this embroider diagram you embroider how long?"


    Chen replied, "because there are other jobs, so I can only embroider one or two hours a day. It took nearly two months to finish."


    Nodding leisurely, "then your work is really fast. Well, I haven''t figured out the pattern yet. It''s going to be in the lunar month. You helped me make some bags a few years ago. I''ll use them after the new year. The pattern should be more exquisite. You can make as many as you can. You don''t have to rush. We''ll talk about that big job after the new year. It''s getting late today. You''d better go to stay and clean up. Tomorrow I''ll ask someone to take the needle, thread and cloth for you


    After listening to these words, Chen''s grateful thanks, naturally a servant girl will take their mother down to settle.


    After they left, they thought leisurely in their hearts that Chen looked familiar and forgot who they were similar to. I can''t think of it for a moment, so I forget it.


    Seeing that he had been here for a long time, Xu leisurely looked sleepy and left home.


    Not a few days to the lunar month, it is a rush to meet. Leisurely these days although not so vomit, but always easy to make sleepy, always some energy. It happened that the girl school took the annual leave, and leisurely left most of the affairs in the house to Shen Xi, who only took charge of them. It''s the farm floor shop in the dowry. Every year, the steward comes to close the account. It''s necessary to work hard to check one by one, and to beat each other up. Only then did she feel that she was short of two assistants to help with these chores. Before, she didn''t feel that there were few things. Now there are more and more Chuang Tzu shops. She really felt that they were too much to be bothered.


    Looking at several beautiful maids around, I thought silently. No wonder many maids of other families are willing to give their maids to the boys, and more of them are to win over their confidants. It''s just that she said all the big words at the beginning, whether to leave or stay with them. If these people all wanted to marry outside, then she would really "lose her wife and become a soldier". These eyes around me are all at the age of 19, especially the willow leaves. They can stay for two or three years at most. It''s too late for the girls to talk to each other. It seems that after the end of the new year, we still have to choose a group of small servant girls to prepare.


    It''s just a headache of wishful thinking. It''s reported that the princess has been given a new year''s gift. Coral, who is now the housekeeper''s daughter-in-law, was helped up before she finished the ceremony. "It''s not going out here. Your grandmother doesn''t care who she sends. How can I help you?" She was rushed to have her seat offered. Coral is now the lady in charge of the prefecture. She is more respectable than when she was a servant girl. She took off her fur clothes before entering the house. She was wearing a silver rat coat with Silver Red Tuan Baxi pattern, and a stone blue pan gold embroidered horse face skirt. Although there are only one or two gold hairpins on the head, the jewels on the hairpin head are the size of fingers. If you wear this dress, I''m afraid you think it''s everyone''s grandmother. It''s just that the rules of the Royal Palace are extravagant. Fang Xinsu doesn''t like to wear bright colors. He prefers to dress up the people around him. He doesn''t know what the bad taste is.


    Coral see leisurely look at their dress, while sitting with a smile and said, "grandma is not do not know our princess''s temperament, they do not like to wear red and green, prejudice can not be around people to wear plain and shabby. It happened that some clothes and fabrics were sent to me yesterday, so the princess picked up some and gave them to me. She told me to go out and make sure that I was dressed up, so as to save the dignity of the palace. " Leisurely smile should way "your home is no other place, two masters, one is a prince, one is a princess, I don''t know how many pairs of eyes staring at it, if too shabby, outside don''t know how to nonsense." Hearing this, coral busily nodded, "isn''t that the gift? Although our princess doesn''t like gorgeous colors, she can''t lose her sense of propriety in dressing. But there is an aunt in our palace who likes to wear half old clothes such as white moon and snow-green all day long. She doesn''t wear gold hairpin pearls, but she carries two gauze flowers in the town. She used to be less humble when she was a maid of honor. Now, it makes people think who abused her? It''s so hard to watch! The princess is too lazy to pay attention to her. She doesn''t allow us to provoke her. We can''t do nothing but to deal with her. "


    Leisurely smell speech smile way "your princess''s temperament I know, this meeting son don''t take care of, definitely hold back big move to want to make!" At present, coral said with a smile, "no wonder our princess and grandma are the best. Grandma knows the princess''s temperament. Yesterday, in front of the prince, the princess gave her a pile of bright clothes and a box of jewelry and said, "you don''t have filial piety. You''d better dress up happily." Aunt Zhao didn''t say thank you quickly, but she turned red in her eyes! Well, I don''t know how to be grateful, but I''m just being ostentatious! Even our Lord couldn''t see it any more. He told her not to wear so shabby clothes in the future, so as to save the face of the government. Then Aunt Zhao went down with the box in her arms. "


    It seems that Fang Xinsu has mastered the essence of the Houzhai fight, and she doesn''t need to worry about it. Leisurely could not say whether she was happy or sad, and asked coral, "what is your princess doing at home? But one day has not come, I also think about it very much. " Coral said with a smile: "the princess is also thinking about her grandmother. Two days ago, she closed the account with the steward of Chuang Tzu and prepared the new year''s gifts for the palace and the royal family. She was in a hurry for a few days. I wanted to come in person today, but some of the prefects and heads of the clan went to give gifts in person. I couldn''t leave for a while, so I came here. The princess said that the whole house has been cleaned up, only grandma''s flowers are missing. Let me ask grandma if she can get these flowers this year? No matter what it is, let me take two pots back first, or there will be only some green leaves left in the flower hall, and it won''t look good without a red flower embellishment. "

 Chapter 261

    Leisurely listen to, helpless smile, said, "your master ah, said it is a love of flowers, but what flowers to her hand, but also only open one season. At that time, it was so easy for me to plant more than ten pots of Camellia. I chose the best one and gave it to her? If I hadn''t kept some cuttings myself, I''m afraid I would never see the flower again in Beijing. It''s cold this year. The phalaenopsis blooms late. Now it''s just coming out. I''d better keep it in my flower house for a few days. After 20 years, I''ll send it to you. If your master wants, there are two pots of red plum and two pots of YINGSHANHONG. They are still bright. You can take them back in a moment


    After chatting with each other for a few minutes, coral saw that there were maids coming in from time to time. Knowing that leisurely was busy at the end of the year, she stood up and said with a smile, "since things are coming, I won''t stay any longer. I don''t want to get in the way here. By the way, there is a separate ebony box that our princess gave to lady Lin, and she asked grandma to deliver it on her behalf. "


    Leisurely stood up, "it''s easy to say. I''ll send it to you in a moment. You''re also busy with this meeting. Now that you''ve finished, let''s go. After new year''s day, I''ll come with your princess. " Coral agreed to go with a smile.


    Since the time when Yulian gave Fang Xinsu a prescription to cure her hidden disease, Fang Xinsu was grateful. At that time, she gave many thanks and introduced several ladies to Yulian in private. These people''s diseases are not serious, but it''s hard to find female doctors who are proficient in this field. They don''t want to search for doctors outside because of this, so they are delayed. Yulian cured them one by one without much effort, and everyone praised her. In addition to being grateful to the doctor Yulian, she was also grateful to Fang Xinsu. Originally, as a princess of Waiba road and a princess of different surnames, Fang Xinsu still had some distance with these noble princesses. This time, it was a surprise that Fang Xinsu drew close to the public through this event.


    Even leisurely is also happy for her cousin. Although these noble women are picky and difficult to serve, they also give rich rewards afterwards. In this short period of half a year, cousin Yulian has already saved seven or eight hundred taels of silver and bought a shop on Gulou Street. But the jade lotus doesn''t want to tell the outsider to add some annoyance, in the hand rich also never lax. Only told leisurely this matter, leisurely knows, even Lin Mu did not tell.


    Since dayouran became pregnant, Yulian lived in Shenfu, so coral gave things to Youran directly, and it was over. It turns out that since the spread of Yulian''s good medical skills, some neighbors in the neighborhood have come to ask her for help in the diagnosis and treatment of serious and minor diseases. Yulian has no time for herself. She can''t even read the medical books well. But people come to her home, and she can''t drive people out again. Just by the name of leisurely pregnancy, she simply took taoliang to move back to Tang Mei''s house.


    It''s not that she doesn''t want to see a doctor in those neighborhoods, it''s just that after a long time, there are all kinds of people. Since that time, she gave a poor old lady a few pills to cure her dysentery. There are always some people who want to be greedy for small bargains. Some people just love each other. They can take a break at home for two days or go to the pharmacy to get a cheap soup. But those people don''t want to spend money, so they want her to ask for some free soup. Originally, people don''t charge for pulse diagnosis, and those who have the gift are just carrying a handful of vegetables or a few eggs. Now even the herbs are free to take, when the daily, Yulian where so much money to supplement? As soon as she said no, some people would not like to say that she was mean and stingy. And some people''s disease is old stubborn disease, her medical skill is limited, really can''t see, some people will say that she doesn''t care what. At that time, it was not easy to disturb Yulian. It was better to send people to frighten her.


    After moving back to the Shen family, except for the expensive girls introduced by Fang Xinsu, Yulian has never been sick to anyone else. Even Cixin nunnery has gone to less. Now she just specializes in gynecology. Even if they are arrogant, they will always have the courtesy. The most important thing is the rich returns. Now she has a house and a shop, so she doesn''t go out to see a doctor any more, and she can''t afford to rent her son and wife every month. It was only after living out for a while that Yulian came to understand why some rich businessmen and landlords, though they had a lot of money, preferred to be servants in high families. The more prosperous it is in the capital, the more important it is to have a backer, otherwise it will be difficult to survive.


    Leisurely let people send Yulian''s share to her yard. Now, Chen''s family and a pair of children also live here. Several children just gather together to have a companion to play with. If two women who share the same fate speak together, they will have a comfort for each other. The jade lotus saw this big box thing, can''t help of some cry smile not, this princess empress is too generous. If you don''t look at what''s inside, this box alone, even if it''s made of top quality ebony, will cost at least tens of taels of silver. This kind of box does not fade, rot and grow insects, so it is the best for storing medicinal materials. Yulian opened the box. There were several pieces of materials, a bag of bird''s nest, a box of candy and two purses in it. In one purse, there are about a dozen silver ornaments of various patterns, while in the other, there is a long-life lock made of red gold with a flying horse carved on it. Taoliang is a horse. Needless to say, it must be for taoliang. And the material, two of which are pink and light red, are bright in color and lively in design. It''s for little girls.


    Yulian takes a look at her daughter who is making a snowman outside. This girl knows that Han is eating and playing all day long, and she is caught in Fang Xinsu''s eyes somehow. These days, Tao Liang has got a lot of new clothes. He has made two of them himself, his cousin has given a few, and his aunt and cousin''s daughter-in-law have also given them a lot. Let alone this year, he can''t wear them in two or three years. Put away the material and make clothes when spring comes next year.


    Just always accept other people''s things, jade lotus always feel some not very good meaning. So she called her daughter in. Her hands and faces were red, and her hands felt warm. This kid, he''s still a real kid who runs outside. Look at taoliang. No matter it''s windy or snowy, he plays outside for a while every day. He hasn''t been ill all winter. While thinking, he wiped taoliang''s hands and face, and put some balm on her. He said, "go, I''ll take you to your aunt."


    Tao Liang nodded. "I haven''t seen Kang Ge''er for two days. I really miss him. I don''t know if he has come back from his uncle and grandmother''s home." Lin''s mother was afraid that she would be in a hurry in December. She was afraid that her daughter would have to raise a baby, take care of a housekeeper and take care of her son. She took Kangtai to her home a few days ago. There are few things in her family, and her daughter-in-law is more than enough to manage them by herself. She takes her grandson with her to relieve her troubles.

 Chapter 262

    Walking into the yard, Tao Liang pointed to the blooming red plum on the tree and said, "mother, there is no red plum in my aunt''s yard. Let''s fold two and take them with us." Yu Lian said with a smile, "what fresh flowers are there in your aunt''s house? Will you still lack these two red plums?" Tao Liang pursed his lips and said, "no matter how much, it''s my aunt''s. what I bring is my heart. If my mother doesn''t give me a discount, I''ll do it myself."


    Yulian couldn''t beat her daughter, so she had to do it by herself. "OK, OK, OK, my little ancestor, I''ll listen to you. You don''t want to see if you can get the branches, just try to be brave. " I folded one as I talked. She was also rejected by her daughter, saying that she was not good-looking and had to fold another one. She was so angry that she had to fold another two as her daughter asked.


    Leisurely see the red plum brought by taoliang, really like, while let people quickly take the vase to insert, while laughing to touch taoliang''s little hand, "or we taoliang clever, think of aunt.". Just let your mother hold it for you on such a cold day. Look at this little hand. It''s cold. " She had already wrapped her little hand with her own.


    Yulian said with a helpless smile, "I want to take it for her, but people won''t use me. You outsiders look at her. She''s clever. She''s a devil in front of me. I want to be the master of my family when I''m a little older. I don''t think I can manage her any more


    After hearing this, Tao Liang pouted his little mouth and looked reluctant. Leisurely scraping her little nose, she said to her cousin, "I think it''s a good thing. Only when the girl''s idea is right, she won''t let others coax her in the future. You are hard faced and soft hearted. If your daughter is like you again, she will worry about you


    See leisurely only help taoliang speak, jade lotus gas smile way "now I don''t argue with you, wait for Kangtai bigger you will know my pain."


    Leisurely smile to see to peach good "see you give your mother gas of, still not quick coax your mother to go." Taoliang Qi AI went to Yulian and said, "Niang, I''m wrong. I''ll listen to you later. Don''t be angry with me!" While talking, he tugged at Yulian''s arm and shook it. Yulian, who is willing to be angry with her, can''t resist being spoiled by her. Take a finger to point her forehead "you, really take you have no way." Taoliang, with a smile, quickly climbs to the Kang, kicks his shoes and leans on Yulian.


    Seeing that their mother''s Kung Fu was so good after a while, she was a little sad. And some envious said, "every time I see taoliang, I look forward to this girl in my stomach. She is sweet and soft, cute and cute. Unlike boys, she only knows how to play outside in the town. When she grows up, she will be able to braid her hair, put on bright clothes, and dress up like taoliang. " Then he said with a smile, "speaking of this, I just remember that a box of pearl flowers was sent outside yesterday. It''s very exquisite and suitable for children. I asked someone to keep two pairs for taoliang." Finish saying, then let Liu Ye take a small brocade box to come over.


    After opening it, you can see that there are five colored pearls and tourmaline, a pair of dragonflies and a pair of butterflies. All done perfectly, the dragonfly''s hair will tremble, Yulian some embarrassed, but taoliang readily took the past, "thank you for your kindness." Then he took the pair of dragonflies, put them on his head, and looked around.


    Seeing her lovely appearance, all the people present were laughing. Gan song went to the inner room and took a mirror to look at her


    Tao Liang nodded impolitely, "good looking." While talking, he straightened the Pearl hairpin in the mirror. The little adult''s appearance made everyone happy.


    Yu Lian said to you with a bitter smile, "I''ll get something from you in three days. I don''t know what to do. And so is the princess. I''ve been well for half a year, and I send some things from time to time. I don''t know how to thank you. "


    After listening to her saying this, she looked up and said, "what we can give you is nothing more than something outside your body. Let alone her, even me, I don''t lack this idea now. But what you give us is a healthy body. With a good body, what can''t we do? No more than these things? Here you are. Take it. I expect you to take care of me. " Smell speech, jade lotus says with a smile "you this words say, you don''t give thing, I don''t care?"¡° That''s the truth, but you can''t do it for nothing, can you? " Leisurely way back, looking at the cousin or frowning, helplessly said, "well, well, I''m just here, if you really don''t feel at ease, you''ll mount the blue sketch you embroidered a few days ago and send it to the princess''s house another day. She loves these exquisite embroideries the most, and always thinks that the embroiderer in the mansion is very angry. She even praised your embroidered purse that day. I think your embroidered pieces can enter her eyes. " As soon as Yulian heard this, she was immediately happy. "Now that I''m doing this, I''ll go to the street tomorrow and find someone to mount it. I don''t know if those mounting shops are closed."


    Leisurely ignore her soliloquy, turn to play with taoliang. When she saw that taoliang had repeatedly put on pearls and made her hair messy, she took off taoliang''s hair and asked someone to take a grate to comb it through. After that, she braided several braids, and then put two bags together again. Then she put on the dragonfly bead flower. Tao Liang looked at the more delicate bag head in the mirror and touched it happily. "My aunt''s skill is better than my mother''s


    Straight to the jade lotus to angry smile, pointing to her hate voice way "you see, she just how old, know love beauty.". I don''t think I can comb it well. I can comb it myself! If the clothes are stained, they will not wear them. Every time they make clothes for her, they have to choose their own materials and colors. I kept all the jewelry you and the princess gave her. I wanted to put it on when she was old. As a result, I had to rub it with me. It takes three days to take a bath on such a cold day. Thanks to my sister''s house, the hot water is cheaper and the room is warm. If you''re still living outside, don''t you feel sick on a cold day? "


    Leisurely reach out and touch taoliang''s bag head. "Little girl, she is born to love beauty, which is a good thing. It''s said that a girl needs to be rich. If she doesn''t have it, it''s OK. Since there are those things that make her look beautiful, we adults will be happy. You ah, is a knife mouth bean curd heart, every time the mouth said fierce, in fact, the most used to children! Look at yourself. You are not willing to wear them. Instead, you always make new clothes for your daughter. I''ve given you a lot of materials. It''s still some time before Chinese New Year. Go back and make your own new clothes. I won''t be happy to see you in old clothes in the new year. "

 Chapter 263

    She waved her hand and said, "I''m not the same as you. I don''t have those parties. I don''t go out all day. I haven''t even got the big bag you just gave me the other day. Which one is not new? Besides, I really made clothes for myself this time, but I didn''t wear them until the end of the day? " Then he sighed, "a few years ago, at this time, my mother-in-law was fighting famine for three feet of cotton cloth. Who would have thought that this would be wrapped in satin every day, what big hair and small hairy yarn and gorilla felt, I''ve never heard of it before, it would be suitable for me to wear. What else can I be dissatisfied with? Now I only hope that taoliang will grow up peacefully and my life will be complete. "


    In this tone, there is an endless sense of desolation! Leisurely quickly rebuked, "how can young people be so lifeless? In other words, cousin, you are not very old. If you want to, you can find another family. "


    Yulian shook her head and said, "no, I''ll keep taoliang in my life. Let''s depend on each other." Leisurely see taoliang ran to the beauty couch, is playing a nine chain, think to should not hear these. So he said, "taoliang is a girl. She''s going out sooner or later. What do you do when she gets married? Who will take care of you when you are old? "


    A moment later, Yu Lianfang sighed, "it''s easy for me to remarry, but what about Tao liang? I don''t want her to be wronged. Although I don''t have great ability, I can always spend the money on her hand. After remarriage, who knows whether her father-in-law is kind or not, and whether her stepfather treats her well? Can I get away from you again? " What''s more, her own body knows that she will not be able to regenerate in the future. Even if you are married to be a stepmother, if you don''t have your own flesh and blood, it''s hard to get a foothold. Do you want taoliang to follow you to see other people''s faces?


    This is not without reason, but all of a sudden leisurely to ask, she shook her head and said, "OK, since you have an idea in mind, then go with you. At least, I can protect you both. " Leisurely thinks that her cousin''s words are not unreasonable. Since ancient times, it''s hard for her to be a daughter-in-law. She didn''t want to see her cousin waste her time. Now she doesn''t want to remarry, so let her go.


    No one noticed that Tao Liang''s fingers, which were holding the nine rings, were already tense, and then slowly loosened


    When Shen Ze came back in the evening, he told Shen Ze all the lovely things about Tao Liang with a leisurely smile, then touched his stomach and said, "if only this baby could really be a girl, I really want a little cotton padded jacket." Shen Ze put his hand on her stomach and felt the fetal movement. He said with a smile, "if you want a daughter, it''s a daughter. If it''s a son, I''ll put it back for you!"


    What a rascal that is! Leisurely raised his head and gave Shen Ze a white look. "You just gave me a look. How can you talk nonsense?" Shen Ze has a deep look at her stomach, and then smiles mysteriously.


    A moment later, he suddenly asked, "now, is there any job in our family to employ people?" Leisurely some surprised asked "who is going to work?"


    Shen Ze replied, "it''s a younger brother of the Shen family. He''s only 16 years old. His parents went to live with his brother and sister-in-law several years ago. This year, the clan sent people to Beijing to send festival gifts to the empress. He followed and refused to go back. The elder brother Peng of the patriarch''s family said that his sister-in-law was not good to him. He dressed up all day, but he didn''t make a new dress for him for two or three years. His clothes are short, and his brother is a soft eared man who can only listen to his mother-in-law. Elder brother Peng took advantage of this opportunity to send him a new year''s gift and brought him to Beijing to see if he could find a job for him. At least he could get enough food and clothing. But there are so many talented people on the other side of the government that he can''t squeeze a child and a half into it. My father had some friendship with his father in those years, so I thought I''d let him come to our house. What do you think? "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "you are busy with business in your town. I''m worried that I don''t have a strong arm around me. Since you can take the initiative to recruit, I think this child always has his merits, so let him come quickly. There are still 20 days left for the new year. "


    Shen Ze nodded, "I''ll send someone to call her to come tomorrow. You can arrange a place for him. Oh, by the way, his name is Shen Jiang. Don''t forget. " He nodded leisurely, "I wrote it down." The couple had some more gossip, so they washed and went to sleep. The next day leisurely just with early meal soon, there is a maid return said Shen Yi. Leisurely quickly asked people to invite him over. A moment later, a young man in a beautiful blue damask robe came in behind the maid. Shen Jiang saw that there were always six or seven servant girls in the room. Yingyingyanyan didn''t dare to look up. After he came in, he took a look and bowed to the leisurely lady sitting on the throne. "Shen Jiang, please say hello to my sister-in-law."


    Leisurely waved his hand and said, "it''s all my family. Don''t be polite, uncle. Get up quickly." Then let the maid see the tea on the table.


    Shen Jiang sat down at the bottom of the table. He was not very old, but his manner was still calm. He sat there without looking around. He was a little satisfied. If you look at the clothes on him, it''s obvious that some of them don''t fit very well. I''m afraid that when I get to the capital, the government will give them to him. Leisurely in that house for more than ten years, naturally, I know the manner of those servants. In the eyes of the servants, these masters who have no family background are not as respectable as a big servant girl. At the beginning, Shen Ze was willing to take some money to manage, and he was treated very slowly in that mansion. Now the Marquis''s office has become the government''s office. I''m afraid it''s more popular than before. The young man was neglected somehow in that mansion. I can''t complain that Shen Ze is willing to help him. I''m afraid that as soon as I see him, Shen Ze will think of himself?


    Thinking of this, he said leisurely, "your elder brother has told me all about you. I just need a brother to help me with some errands. If you don''t think our family is not as famous as the government, just stay here. Although our family''s background is thinner, if we have a meal with your brother and me, we won''t make you hungry. After two years, I''ll get you a daughter-in-law and start a family. It''ll live up to us. "


    Shen Jiang was so excited that his brother and sister-in-law didn''t say anything like that to him. Even if it was just a polite way to face, he recognized it. Now Shen Jiang stood up and said, "brother Ze and sister-in-law don''t dislike my little brother''s stupidity. It''s lucky that they are willing to give my little brother a shelter. If you have any job, just give orders to my sister-in-law. Although my younger brother is dull, he will try his best to do what he can

 Chapter 264

    Leisurely waved his hand to let him sit down, "don''t worry, I''m short of people, when I need you. It''s just that you''re new here, and you want to start work before you have a cup of tea. You''re not in such a hurry. Sit down first. " Smell speech, Shen Jiang just sat down again. Leisurely talked with him for a while, asked him some questions, and asked his mother-in-law to take him to the guest house.


    In the evening, leisurely let the kitchen renovate a table of noodles, and called the Yang family and Yulian mother and daughter to meet Shen Jiang. They are all real relatives. They have to deal with each other under the same roof in the future. We know a face familiar, but also save after the meeting did not know each other, some embarrassment.


    At this point, Shen Jiang even lived in this family. Because he was a sophomore at home, so leisurely let people call him "Jiang Er Ye". Although Shen Jiang is young and short-sighted, he is not frivolous and quick to understand. If he doesn''t understand anything, he won''t hesitate to ask for advice, but he will soon be able to stand alone.


    December is the time to sell goods, no matter what, it seems to sell more than usual. The pen and ink shop was gradually deserted after 20 years, and closed directly after the new year. When Yang Lu came to make an account with her, he calculated leisurely that there would be more than 10000 Liang in this shop alone this year. Because I think there is a certain risk in using the bank note, this time leisurely let Yang LV help to cash the bank. Among them, there were 6000 taels of silver, which Yang Lu helped to exchange for gold. He put a small box alone, and the rest two big boxes. Leisurely looking at the white silver in the box and the gold ingot in her hand, she was in a good mood. She finally entered the ranks of the middle class from the proletariat.


    When the account is finished, Yang Lu will go back to his hometown for the new year. Leisurely smile said to him, "this year''s business thanks to the help of cousin, cousin is really hard work, this purse is my cousin''s red envelope, cousin don''t refuse." Yang Lu quickly declined: "the day before yesterday was not already issued a new year''s red seal?" On New Year''s day, leisurely let people carry the copper money in the past, and each of the steward and the guys in the shop was given two months'' extra monthly money. In addition, pork, rice and noodles were all provided, which made everyone happy and praised the owner''s generosity. And Yang Lu, leisurely, gave him ten taels of silver a month, and the salary in the twelfth month plus the red seal was thirty taels of silver. He works here. He manages his food and clothes. He always gives clothes and food to his mother and children. Except for the children''s study, they can''t spend much money in the capital. Although he can earn more when he goes out to do other jobs, he may not be able to save more than 100 taels of silver a year as he does now. What''s more, with his back against the big tree of the commander''s office, no one would trouble him. Even the servants in the Yamen met him with smiles. He has discussed with his wife. If he saves a few years, the family will be able to buy a house in the capital, and then they will have a firm foothold in the capital.


    This meeting son sees leisurely again give him silver money, he is not very good meaning. At the same time, Yulian was helping to settle some accounts. Seeing this scene, she said, "cousin Yang, please take it. If you didn''t help her, leisurely sister would be able to save the things in these boxes? Here you are. You can take it. It''s not better than anything to work steadfastly in the future? "


    Yang Lu just took the purse. "OK, in that case, I''ll take it."


    Leisurely then said with a smile, "that''s right. I can''t let my cousin be busy. By the way, I''ve packed up some things for my two uncles. My cousin will take them back for me when he leaves Yang Lu agreed to come down.


    After returning to the residence, Yang Lu''s wife, Xu, heard the news and rushed out. Then, seeing the things in the car, she asked, "is this from my cousin again? Why do you give so much? " Yang Lu replied, "there are also those for our father and second uncle''s family. Let''s take them back." Xu helped her husband move things into the house. Yang unloaded the carriage, took the horse to the stable and fed some grass before returning to the house.


    Xu quickly took a heater plug to him. Yang Lu warmed his hand for a while, took out the purse from his skirt and handed it to Xu. "This is from my cousin. She said it''s the red envelope for the Chinese New Year. Put it away." Xu quickly took over with a smile, "cousin is really generous, has not been given a red envelope? And these things. How much silver is it here? " Yang Lu had been to the fire for a long time. Just now he was frozen. When he heard Xu''s question, he didn''t raise his head and said, "I haven''t had time to see it. You can see. It''s estimated that he will get at least fifty liang of silver, or he won''t need the silver note."


    After a while, I only heard Xu''s "ah" voice: "master, come and have a look, I''m not dazzled, am I?" Yang Lu came over with a frown and took the bank note. "Didn''t he teach you to read? Can''t even recognize the number? " When he saw the number on the bank note, he was surprised, which was ten times more than he thought. Xu''s some tremble of ask "this, can''t be cousin give wrong?"


    Yang Lu was shocked, but soon calmed down. "My cousin can''t take it wrong. Although she looks at her loose hands, she always has a clear idea. You should put it away and save it for another year so that we can buy a house in the city. " Xu nodded and did not mention it. The couple were grateful for leisurely in their hearts.


    Leisurely thought that the book shop was a good one, but after two days, the newly opened glass shop made an account. In addition, in the last three months of December, she shared 70000 taels of silver, which was more than she expected. Just like Yang Lu''s reaction that day, he was a little hoodwinked.


    It turned out that Fu, the teacher of the Double Ninth Festival, had found a way to make the glass very even, without any noise and bubbles, and the surface was smooth. After leisurely brings the finished product to Shen Tian and Fang Xinsu, both of them are overjoyed. One of them takes 20000 taels of silver and gives leisurely a share. Leisurely says that she is pregnant and can''t waste her time. She entrusts Shen Tian with everything about the shop and the workshop. Shen Tian doesn''t refuse and sends someone to take over the work. In less than a month, a glass shop was opened on the most prosperous Kangzhuang street in the imperial city to sell these glass products. The production cost of glass is actually very cheap, so the finished product price will not be too high, which is not much different from the ordinary official porcelain. Many people see that this thing is more exquisite than the previous glass products, so they buy a few pieces to use. Especially after Shen Tian used this at a flower appreciation banquet, the crystal clear appearance was very beautiful under the sunshine, which attracted many people to buy it.


    In those days, the glass shop was described by the word "daily income and money", but it was no exaggeration at all. I don''t know how many people look at me. Fortunately, I found Shen Tian and Fang Xinsu as backstage. Otherwise, the shop would not be able to survive. The money in hand just feel hot, leisurely all of a sudden sprouted a retreat. It''s just that it''s not easy to talk about this during the festival. The shops are closed. Let''s wait for the new year.

 Chapter 265

    Near the end of the new year, there was a heavy snow in the capital. In a remote palace of the Forbidden City, an old eunuch of some age was sitting by the fire, rubbing his left knee. His leg was injured in his early years, and he was most afraid of cold. When it came to winter, it felt like a needle prick. Many methods were used, but they had no effect. Today, there was another heavy snow. He went outside for a walk, and it was very painful when he came back. In the meantime, a young eunuch came in from the outside. After the little eunuch came in, he took out an oil paper bag from his arms and walked to the old eunuch with a smile. "Godfather, look, I brought your favorite pork and stewed peanuts."


    Before the words were heard, the little eunuch saw the old eunuch kneading his left hand. He quickly put the bittern on the table and walked to the old eunuch. "Godfather, your leg is starting to hurt again? Did you go out on my back today? Didn''t I tell you? If there''s something I''ll do for you when I come back, you won''t listen. Look, this meeting has suffered again? " While muttering, he took a wooden basin from the corner, found a medicine bag wrapped in gauze and put it in. Then he lifted the kettle on the stove and poured it into most of the basin of boiling water.


    Then, the little eunuch put the wooden basin in front of the old eunuch, neatly took off the old eunuch''s shoes and socks, and soaked his feet in the basin. The water temperature was a little hot, and the old eunuch exclaimed, "you little son of a bitch, do you want to burn me to death?" The little eunuch replied impolitely, "you deserve to be burned to death. Who let you die by yourself? I''ve told you many times that you don''t need to trim flowers and plants when it''s snowing. Don''t go out to save your knee pain when you get cold. But you just don''t listen! Don''t let your knees hurt if you can


    The old eunuch patted him on the head. "You stinky boy, you are in charge of godfather''s head. It''s against you." But I sigh in my heart that I don''t want to go out on a cold day, but I can''t listen to the master. When he is old, doesn''t he want to live a happy life? Now he is still dragging a sick body back and forth, not for the boy in front of him?


    But the smelly boy didn''t know how to be grateful. He still mumbled, but he washed his feet and pinched his legs with his hands. When the water cooled, his pain was relieved. The little eunuch took a soft cloth to wipe his feet clean, and then helped him to the bed. The old eunuch looked at the little eunuch who was going to pour dirty water, and suddenly asked, "boy, do you want to go to Qianyuan hall on duty?" This made the eunuch stagger under his feet and almost throw out the basin in his hand. He looked back and said to the eunuch, "my godfather, can we stop making such a joke next time?"


    The old eunuch looked at his back and gave him a smile.


    At the end of the new year, on New Year''s Eve, the leisurely family went to the government to prepare for ancestor worship. When Han saw leisurely, he said with a smile, "in recent years, you have come here a few days in advance to help me. I''m much lighter. Without your help this year, I can''t adapt to it all of a sudden. My waist is about to break. Next year, you have to come earlier. " Although there are some young wives living in the back of the government, Han is not used to them. Besides, they are far less familiar with the affairs of the national government than they grew up here. Even if Han does not dislike them, these people can''t get involved after a while.


    Ancestor worship began when it was almost dark. It was just after noon when Han leisurely came. Although Han complained verbally, the affairs of sex had already been prepared, and it only began when the time came. They took advantage of this opportunity to talk about all kinds of gossip. They were just talking about it vigorously. The maid outside reported that someone from the palace had sent the word "Fu" from the emperor. Since emperor Gaozu, the custom of emperor writing the word "Fu" in person and giving it to princes and close ministers has been handed down. Although it''s just a piece of red paper to write a word, it''s not necessarily how it is written, but if the aristocratic families like the government don''t receive it in any year, they have to be careful. Although Shen Ze can be regarded as a "high power" now, he is still not included in this honor. Fortunately, he and the government are the same ancestor, but he doesn''t have to get one more.


    Although it''s just a piece of paper, the word "imperial gift" has become as heavy as a kilo. They quickly set up a incense table. Under the leadership of Shen Mingchang and his wife, they all knelt down and took it carefully from the eunuch. After the ceremony, Shen Mingchang said with a smile to the eunuch who came to deliver the words, "this father-in-law is a stranger. He must be a new minister in front of the imperial court. What''s your name?" Shen Mingchang did not know him, but leisurely recognized the eunuch.


    The little eunuch was not someone else. It was the one who washed the old eunuch''s feet that day. It was Chen Jiang who had met leisurely outside the gate of Dakang. Chen Jiang has been a little dizzy so far. He just took the eunuch''s words as a joke and didn''t take them to heart. But after two days, the manager of Qianyuan hall called his name and transferred him to the duty of the emperor. He used to be a junior Eunuch in charge of rites. He was only a little better than those who had no rank. Now he has become the eunuch of zhengliupin, and is really on the rise. Although accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, it is risky to be on duty in front of the emperor, but the income is high. For example, the top Prince''s palace and princess''s can''t get him to send the word "Fu" today, but the chief manager sees that he likes him and sends four or five princes'' houses to him. The filial piety alone is enough for them to spend a whole year. Chen Jiang replied with a smile, "I don''t dare to be. My name is Chen Jiang." Shen Mingchang said with a smile, "it''s Mr. Chen. Please have a cup of tea." This is the last one. Chen Jiang was a little tired, so he nodded and said, "I''ve been running four or five houses in a row, and I''m really thirsty. In this case, I''ll bother you."


    Shen Mingchang said with a smile, "it''s good that my father-in-law is willing to show his appreciation. It''s not a nuisance." Just as he was talking, the head of the mansion trotted over and said that there was something urgent in the ancestral hall for Shen Mingchang and Han to make up their minds. Shen Mingchang''s face was not worried. Chen Jiang said with a smile, "since it''s a matter of sacrifice, I can''t be careless. The Duke of the kingdom is just busy. Just find a servant to take me to pianting for a cup of tea."


    Han said with a smile, "how can this be done?" Then, pointing to leisurely way, "zege daughter-in-law, you first greet father-in-law Chen, I will come with your uncle." Leisurely nodded, Chen Jiang also knew leisurely, said with a smile, "just looked like you, but this body shape has changed, not too dare to recognize, congratulations on your getting a beautiful baby again." Leisurely smile thanks, and then greetings Chen Jiang Road, "there are days did not see, did not want to rise to serve in front of the emperor, it is really gratifying."


    While they were talking, they sat down in the flower hall. The maid brought tea. Chen Jiang was really thirsty. He drank two or three bowls before he felt better. Turning to see leisurely has been staring at their own look, but some embarrassed up, "thirsty ruthless, let the lady joke."

 Chapter 266

    Leisurely a Zheng, quickly waved his hand and said, "my father-in-law misunderstood, but it''s a human long love, how can I laugh at my father-in-law. It''s just that I''m surprised to see that my father-in-law looks very similar to an acquaintance. "


    When I first met Chen, leisurely felt that she had a good face, but I couldn''t remember who she looked like. As soon as I saw Chen Jiang today, I suddenly realized that Chen and his father-in-law are too much alike, and the eunuch is also very feminine. The profile of the two seems to be printed in the same mold.


    After listening to leisurely words, Chen Jiang didn''t take it to heart. He just said with a smile, "I see." In the heart is some disapproval, then stood up to leave.


    See the other side some unhappy appearance, leisurely know must be his gaffe let the other party misunderstood, but this will only be more and more black, now also can only stand up awkwardly. Just at this time, Liu Ye came in with a cape and was surprised to see Chen Jiang. "This is Chen Niang..." he was interrupted leisurely and said, "this is father-in-law Chen. Don''t recognize the wrong person."


    The willow leaves smell speech, immediately smile to give Chen Jiang salute "servant for a while recognize bad, also ask father-in-law atonement." Chen Jianggang thought it was just a leisurely and casual excuse. Unexpectedly, the servant girl was surprised to see that she was also very surprised. She couldn''t help asking, "is there someone who looks like me?"


    Liu Ye nodded quickly. "Yes, there is an embroiderer Chen in our family. The profile and father-in-law are printed in the same mold, but from the front, her eyes are not the same, and her lips are not the same. It''s a coincidence that surnames are the same! "


    Looking at the servant girl''s vow, besides that she hasn''t been in the room, she can''t know the conversation between herself and Mrs. Shen. Now Chen Jiang believes that leisurely didn''t cheat herself just now. Just a little curious about the embroiderer, he said at the moment, "since this is the case, we''d like to meet this lady Chen when we have a chance." With that, he left leisurely.


    Leisurely came forward with a smile, took a red seal from the servant girl of the government, and handed it to him, "this is our government''s intention, please have tea." Chen Jiang took it with a smile and handed it to him leisurely. "I didn''t know my father-in-law was promoted before, but now I know that I have to follow a gift. My father-in-law is not too simple!" Chen Jiang felt the bag bulging, the shape is like a golden melon seed, then smile to accept down, "in this case, then I will not be polite to my wife." And then I really left.


    Seeing his back, he was relieved to see him away. Fortunately, he turned the matter around. It''s said that eunuchs are the smallest minded people. Now they are on duty in the front of the imperial court. Regardless of their rank, they are the existence that ordinary people dare not provoke. Fortunately, the other party received her gift, this matter is finally in the past.


    She patted her head in chagrin. She was so stupid for three years that she had doubts in her heart. She just looked at it secretly. How shameful it was to be caught on the spot? It''s almost a disaster. It''s going to take a long time.


    Chen Jiang didn''t pay attention to it. When he returned to the palace, he told it to his godfather as a joke. After hearing this, his godfather pondered and said, "haven''t you been looking for your family all these years? If there are people who are similar to you and all of them are surnamed Chen, they really have something to do with you? " Chen Jiang shook his head with a smile and said, "why? When I was sent to the palace by my family, I was seven years old. I remember everything in my family. There was no sister. I only had a two-year-old brother... "


    However, the eunuch pointed to his head and said, "think about it for yourself. When the common people''s home is really ready to sell their children, it''s time to send them to the official teeth first. How can anyone send his son to the palace as a eunuch in order to sell two liang more


    At this time, Chen Jiang hesitated, "I vaguely remember that it was because my younger brother was sick and had to spend money, so my parents sold me." The old eunuch hummed coldly, "that''s even more wrong. Why do people raise their sons? Naturally, it''s a matter of inheriting one''s family. How can we sell our healthy and lively eldest son for the sake of our sick and disaster stricken youngest son? Most people would rather be ruthless than give the sick child medicine, will also save the health of the child. Your parents are so cruel. Either you are born by stepmother or you are not your own parents. Maybe you''re not a child of their family, bought or stolen. " When the old eunuch said this, Chen Jiang could not help but doubt his memory. His memory before and after entering the palace was very clear, and he couldn''t remember it any more. Just in his impression, when he was a child, his mother was very gentle to him and always gently held him in his arms and hummed him a lullaby. When he was ill, he was given a stewed egg soup. Even when he grew up, his mother''s impression of him was that he would not beat or scold him. He always remembered the warm past in his memory. As a result, he only wanted to get his family back after he had a better situation in the past two years, but there was no news all the time.


    Now Godfather says that the family he has been looking for may not be pro at all. For a while, Chen Jiang feels that he can''t accept it. He could not help asking, "how come Godfather has never said these words before?" The old eunuch said, "before I didn''t say that I thought you were so homesick, I always wanted you to have a thought. Now that there is such a person, you might as well ask. Even if it has nothing to do with you, it''s fate to be very similar, isn''t it? " What the eunuch didn''t say was that he knew for a long time that the couple who sent Chen Jiang to the palace were not his parents. The family name is Liu, the family name is not the same, how can it be born? He was afraid that if he said it rashly, it would make the child lose his foothold, so he kept it secret all the time. Now this woman may have something to do with this boy. Otherwise, there is no such thing as the same surname and very similar appearance.


    Chen Jiang couldn''t help getting annoyed. He should have asked more about the specific situation in the Shen family just now, but now he doesn''t know anything. This meeting uterus door all closed, also did not ask. Fortunately, the next day people will come to the palace to pay homage to the empress. Chen Jiang is ready to find a chance to ask Mrs. Shen again.


    In a secluded corner of the palace, there were still people talking about leisurely. A eunuch and a palace maid were gathering together and whispered, "the princess has given orders. We must do it properly. We can''t show any footwork."


    Leisurely doesn''t know. Someone in the palace is preparing to deal with her. Although it was inconvenient to have a big stomach, the next day, that is, the first day of the lunar new year, I got up early to dress up and went to the palace by carriage.


    And that Chen Jiang, though not worth it today, got up early and waited leisurely in front of the Kuntai hall where the Gaoming people saluted. The Gaoming people have arrived more than half of the time. Why don''t they come leisurely? Worried that he might miss it, Chen Jiang ran from the gate of Dakang to the entrance of the palace alley. At this glance, he found that the person he was waiting for was talking to a little maid in waiting. Although Gaoming''s clothes were almost the same, leisurely''s belly was more conspicuous, so Chen Jiang recognized it immediately. So he quickly walked a few steps to the front, "Mrs. Shen, you are here..."


    Before I finished, I found that the situation was not right. There was a broken vase on the ground. Leisurely opposite of the little maid crying, while dragging leisurely clothes do not let go. Chen Jiang frowned and asked, "what''s the matter?"

 Chapter 267

    Leisurely see is Chen Jiang, not from secretly relieved. Just now she was walking on the road. The little maid of honor bumped into her and hit her vase by mistake. She said that she hit her leisurely. She had to take her to another direction. Leisurely felt that something was wrong with the little maid, so she refused to go with her. Most of the Gaoming people in this society have been waiting inside. Even if there are one or two Gaoming passing by, they are still in a hurry. Leisurely is having a headache here. Just as Chen Jiang came, she said, "just as father-in-law Chen came, you can give me a fair comment. I came in from the outside and walked against the palace wall all the time. It doesn''t hinder anyone''s way. The maid in waiting came from the opposite side with a vase. I didn''t know how to walk on such a wide road, so she bumped into me and knocked the vase in her hand. I don''t think it''s the Queen''s favorite. I''d like to go with her to plead guilty. Although I''m young, I''ve come to the palace not once or twice, but it''s the first time I''ve met such a thing. "


    At this time, Chen Jiang naturally realized that there was something fishy in it. There were more private calculations in the palace. Everyone was always wise to protect himself. In the past, he would not want to get involved in this kind of muddy water. But now he has something to worry about, so it''s not easy for him to stay out of it. He glanced at the little maid''s dress and suddenly asked, "we all know the sisters and aunts in the Queen''s palace. How come we haven''t seen you?"


    The little maid in waiting was a little flustered when she saw that Chen Jiang''s dress was not low. When she heard this, she immediately got scared. She could no longer care about the mess and ran away. Chen Jiang still wants to go after him, but he is stopped by leisurely. "Forget it, father-in-law, she must be just doing things for others. It''s useless to catch her. Thank your father-in-law for his help. Otherwise, what would she do? "


    Chen Jiang chuckled, "madam, you are so smart. Even if you don''t have our family, you must have a way to get away. I was waiting for my wife here. I wonder if the man whom my wife said yesterday is still in your house? "


    Leisurely a Zheng, and then asked "father-in-law said is Chen Niangzi? She does live in a humble house. To tell you the truth, she came to my home less than a month, because she was wearing filial piety, and I didn''t know much about her childhood. If your father-in-law really wants to know something, why don''t you come to my house sometime and ask her face to face? "


    This is a reasonable statement, and Chen Jiang''s is the same thing. But under this festival, I''m afraid I don''t have any free time these days, so I said, "in this case, I''ll call on you when I have time." Leisurely smile should be, Chen Jiang and personally sent her to the hall of Jiaotai, and all Gaoming sat together, then turned away.


    The next thing went well, and nothing happened.


    When they came out of the worship, they met Lin Mu and Zhuang Shu. They said hello to each other for the new year, and Fang took them out. Seeing that her face was not good, Lin''s mother asked, "Why are you so pale?" Leisurely smile "it''s nothing, it''s just that I haven''t had a good rest in recent days, just go back to sleep." Lin''s mother felt relieved when she saw that her face and body were still plump.


    As for what happened in the Palace Lane just now, leisurely didn''t say it and didn''t intend to tell others. If we say this to you, it will only cause trouble. Why? Even if someone in the palace really wants to deal with her, the number of times she enters the palace in a year is very few. Just be careful. The next time she goes to the palace, she must come early. It''s better to be with Han''s family. If others want to start again, it''s not so easy.


    Lezhen knew that after the failure of this matter, although disappointed, but not as angry as before, just light will send his men. She has more important things to do now, and she doesn''t pay much attention to it. There are still opportunities in the future!


    When I got home, leisurely didn''t say a word about it, but I couldn''t help wondering who was going to have a hard time with her. After thinking for a long time, I didn''t have a clue, so I left it aside. Just at this time, Yulian and Chen brought their children to pay New Year''s greetings to her.


    After talking and laughing for a while, everyone said to Chen leisurely, "it''s a coincidence that yesterday when I went to the government, I met a father-in-law Chen who came to the palace to send the word Fu. At that time, I thought it was you who changed your clothes. It looks like you! It''s a world of wonders. I''ve never seen two people so similar before! " Chen was a little excited when she heard this. She even asked, "how old is this father-in-law?" Leisurely return way "should not be big, at most 20 up and down."


    See the other side''s face is not right, leisurely concern asked "what''s the matter with you?" Chen wiped his eyes with a handkerchief and said with a bitter smile, "to tell you the truth, when I was a child, I had a younger brother. He was only two years younger than me. When I was six years old, on the Lantern Festival, my father took him out to see the lanterns, but somehow he was scattered, and my brother never came back. My father felt sad and remorseful because of this, so he went after a serious illness. Our family was well-off at first, but after this, it gradually declined. When my mother died, she still held our brother and sister''s hand and asked us to get him back. Grandma didn''t know that since we were young, our sister and brother looked like each other. Some strangers outside thought we were twins. Now when I hear from my grandmother that there is someone who looks like me, I can''t help but hope that he is my brother. " He began to cry in a low voice as he spoke.


    Listening to the past, leisurely and Yulian look at each other, quickly comfort up. Leisurely advised, "don''t be sad. I met Mr. Chen when I entered the palace today. He was surprised to hear that there was a man similar to him. He said that he would come to see you in two days." Leisurely did not say die, that Chen Gonggong yesterday was not interested in Chen''s existence. But this morning, I came to ask myself. I can''t say that they really have something to do with each other. It''s just that I''d better wait for two people to meet and break up by myself.


    After hearing this, Chen slowly stopped his tears, looked up and said, "no matter whether this person is my brother or not, I thank grandma." Yulian smiles and wipes her tears with a handkerchief. "Even if it''s not, there''s still a chance to find it later. Don''t cry any more. It''s a big new year''s day. I''m not happy to shed tears."


    At this time in the past, leisurely is often not a moment of leisure, either invited to drink, or hosted a banquet at home to entertain guests. This year, because she was pregnant, she only went back to her mother''s home and Han''s home. Her relatives and friends knew that she was unwell, and they seldom came to harass her. Some of Shen Ze''s colleagues came over, and some of them made their own arrangements in the kitchen, but they didn''t bother her.

 Chapter 268

    After another two days, Chen Jiang came to the door when he was not on duty. Leisurely, he asked someone to invite Chen to come over, and asked them to sit alone in the small flower hall in front of him. I don''t know what they said, but after about half an hour, their eyes were red when they came out. Chen Jiang gave a gift to Youran: "thank you, madam Shen, for saving my sister. We will remember that. I will repay you if I have a chance in the future! "


    Leisurely quickly stopped him, "Mr. Chen doesn''t have to be so polite." After helping him up, he took a leisurely look at them. He remembered that Chen Jiang had just said the word "elder sister." then he asked, "are you really brothers and sisters


    Chen Jiang nodded and said, "yes, she is my sister. We have tested her." It turned out that Chen Jiang had a black mole under the toe of his left foot, which was the size of a grain of rice. Even his godfather didn''t notice it, but Chen said it all at once. In addition, Chen Jiang was five years old when he was abducted, and he had some impressions of some things, such as his baby name "Xiwa" and the rhubarb dog in his family when he was a child. They are so similar in appearance, as well as the closeness of their blood relatives. Chen Jiang concludes that this is his sister. He thought that he had been abducted, but later he was sent to the palace to be a eunuch. His life was very miserable. I didn''t expect that my sister''s fate was so bitter that she was sold to be a concubine. It was so easy to have a couple of children and die. Her husband was later driven out by the eldest woman. The elder sister said that thanks to Mrs. Shen''s help, their mother lived to this day, and the younger sister and brother could meet each other.


    For leisurely, Chen Jiang''s heart is very grateful. Thinking of what happened to her in the palace a few days ago, he doesn''t know who is trying to harm her. It was just before. Now I know that she is the benefactor of my sister and brother. I have to help you find out about this. Although Chen Jiang did not say this, he secretly made up his mind.


    Although very grateful leisurely, but Chen Jiang finally found his sister, but she did not want to rely on others. So he took his savings and bought a small courtyard near the imperial city. He took over his sister, mother and son, and bought a mother-in-law and a little servant girl.


    When their life experiences are clear, leisurely knows that this day will come sooner or later. Chen Jiang is now serving in front of the imperial court. No matter how big or small his rank is, it''s not very good for him to have a close relationship with Shen Ze, the commander of the imperial army. Chen''s early move away also saved leisurely''s troubles. Of course, when Chen moved away, leisurely was a good student. He sent people and chariots to help him and gave him a thick housewarming gift. It''s a good relationship.


    When the Chen family moved away, it was already the first month. Leisurely busy with the pregnancy, housekeeper, forget this thing to one side. Until one day, Chen asked her maid to send her a purse. Leisurely open a look, inside is a finger belly size pearl. This kind of pearl is not so precious. How can I give you only one? How can Chen''s idea of having someone send this?


    Leisurely some do not know, but she still asked with a smile to send things to the small maid, "you are your grandmother bought it? What''s your name? " The little servant girl is only eleven or twelve years old, and she has a pretty tongue. Now she says, "I used to be called Er Ya. My uncle came back from the palace today and said that my name is too vulgar, so he gave me a new name, called Le''er."


    My uncle must be Chen Jiang, Le''er and Pearl! Leisurely understood all of a sudden, Chen Jiang is to hint that day to oneself start is Princess Le Zhen? It''s just that she has been trapped in Tianning nunnery? How can you do it to yourself? It seems that this Lezhen still has some means. It seems that she is really nostalgic for her husband, or she would not want to attack herself. How do you want to pay back to the other party? This has to be considered in the long run.


    Leisurely heart turned a few hundred times to come back to God, said to the little servant girl, "it''s hard for you to run this trip in cold weather, go back to thank your master for me." Then he turned his head and said, "willow leaf, get her a purse and grab some fruit for her. In addition, take a basket of oranges from outside and let her take them back to her housekeeper. "


    Waiting for Le''er to leave, I thought about it for a long time, but I still didn''t understand what was in the way of Le Zhen? Can''t it be that she has a crush on her husband? A leisurely self mocking smile. At the same time, Kangtai came over with a pair of go and insisted on playing go with her, so she put it all behind her and played with her son. In the twinkling of an eye, in April, leisurely''s stomach is getting bigger and bigger, and it''s about to give birth. These days, Shen Ze comes back early, and Lin''s mother comes here once a day. If there is not a pregnant woman at home, Lin''s mother plans to live here directly.


    Leisurely, who had already had a birth experience, didn''t feel nervous this time. Besides, except for the first two months of pregnancy, she didn''t have any reaction in the following days. If her stomach wasn''t getting bigger every day, she would think she wasn''t pregnant.


    Kangtai saw that his mother''s stomach was getting bigger and bigger. At first, he was still a little uncomfortable. Later, he leisurely told him that there was a little sister in it. When she grew up, she would come out of it. Kangtai would lie on leisurely stomach every day, muttering to the baby inside for a long time. While muttering, he complained, "sister, why don''t you come out, please come out and play with me." Every time I smile leisurely.


    Although leisurely very much hope that this baby is a girl, but to April 20 this day, or gave birth to a son. Leisurely can not help some disappointment, but it was born in October after all. After a loss, I still love this child very much.


    But the Shen family are very happy, Han said to you with a smile, "I don''t know what''s wrong with the feng shui of the Shen family. The lineage is always thin. Now you gave birth to two legitimate sons to zege at once, and finally changed the situation. If your mother-in-law is still here, I don''t know how to be happy? "


    Leisurely smile did not speak, sometimes think of it, she will feel that it is good to have a son, at least after growing up there will be no pressure on fertility. She has two sons in a row. If she had two daughters in a row, she would be worried about her mother-in-law.


    Although it''s summer this time, leisurely it''s only after full confinement, and the weather is too hot to be greedy in confinement. In the last month of confinement, she may have held the baby too early. Since the birth, she always felt uncomfortable on her waist. Occasionally when the wind blows, she will feel cold in her bones. It''s said that after confinement, whether it''s true or not, leisurely this time, I''m lying in bed honestly, and I dare not do anything to hurt my nerves. Even the baby is only carried by the nurse when feeding. At most, I put him beside myself, and dare not hold him hard.

 Chapter 269

    Looking at the light rain outside, leisurely can not help shaking his head, this day also do not know how. Last year, it was very dry. This year is good. Since May, the rain hasn''t stopped much. Originally, she was worried that if the emperor went to the palace again this year, she and Shen Ze would be separated for two or three months. I didn''t expect that there was continuous rain in the capital, and there was a heavy rain in the south of the Yangtze River. I heard that many villages and fertile fields had been washed away. Your Majesty was busy with the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and he didn''t want to go to the Palace for summer this year.


    After a discussion with Shen Ze, she retired the members of the glass workshop after the new year. Although I said that in the first few months, the running water of the glass shop gradually dropped, which was not so exaggerated at the beginning, there were tens of thousands of taels of running water every month. Compared with this, the cost is really not worth mentioning. Even if others doubled the cost, they thought it was profitable and followed suit. However, there are always some defects in their products, which can only be sold to some ordinary people''s homes with limited profits. It''s said that even the crown prince and concubine have come up with the idea of the glass workshop. Shen Tian is an open-minded person. He directly gives 20% shares to each of Longde emperor and Meng queen, and the others gradually lose their mind.


    Of course, Shen Tian didn''t treat leisurely badly. He gave her a gold ticket of 10000 Liang and a Chuang Tzu of more than 3000 mu in the suburbs of the capital as compensation. Nowadays, the land price around the capital is going up. A mu of good land costs more than ten liang of silver per mu, which still has a price but no market. Leisurely began to refuse to come, see Shen Tian insisted to give, there is no affectation. Fang Xinsu didn''t expect this thing to be so profitable. He also wanted to withdraw his shares and was stopped by Shen Tian. I''m kidding. I''ve withdrawn all my shares. Isn''t it more obvious that her family is the only one? Fang Xinsu had no choice but to keep her part. Knowing that she had taken advantage of leisurely, she gave her two big shops on Zhuque street. When Shen Ze knew this, he laughed and joked, "now my wife has become the richest person in our family. In the future, I''d like to please my wife more so that I can give you an allowance." Leisurely smile back way "this easy to say."


    Fu, the teacher of the glass workshop, also gave it to Shen Tian. Leisurely, he left only a few little masters with good glass products. Just as Fang Xinsu gave her shop, she went to see it before she was born. She found that there was a small courtyard behind the shop, which was suitable for opening a small workshop. So I didn''t rent the shop out, so I redecorated it and opened a glazed shop. I just sell some vases and tea sets made of colored glaze, and I don''t want to make money. I just like these, so I toss and play. The objects inside were all painted by her, and each one was different from the one on the market. So she was reluctant to sell it cheaply, so she asked a high price. It''s also profitable, but because there are few buyers, the shop can barely make ends meet. Leisurely doesn''t care very much. She can''t take all the good things in the world by herself. The shop nearby and the Grange have already made a lot of money. If you keep this one who doesn''t make money, you should make yourself happy.


    Of course, the most important reason is that she has more money and is not short of money. If change to do just wear more and more of that she, also not necessarily can so indifferent fame and wealth. She now understands why when she saw the interviews with famous people in her previous life, they all looked at money like dirt. They didn''t pretend to be high, but they didn''t lack money!


    However, although it does not make money, it also has the advantage that others know that it is very expensive. So leisurely now often take the things in the shop to give away, although the cost is not high, but the party who receives the gift is still very happy, but it is much more cost-effective than her spending money to buy things at other people''s home. Well, after all, she still can''t get rid of the idea of small-scale peasants in her heart. If she can save, she can save


    It happened that the shop didn''t make much money, and there were few things to do, so it was leisurely handed over to Shen Jiang to take care of it. It was just for him to experience.


    By April this year, it had been three years since the Empress Dowager passed away. In April, the emperor ordered the house of internal affairs to arrange the dowry for the princesses. He also ordered the imperial court to select the auspicious day and prepare to marry the three princesses who had been married before the end of the year.


    Meng''s daughter-in-law has been looking forward to her for a year. Han Jin is 23 years old this year. Boys of his age are all running away. Now the palace finally set the day down, and she had a place in her heart. In order to appease his family, the princess mansion of Princess Lehui was built next to the Marquis mansion of Changping. Although the princess had her own residence, Meng sent someone to clean up the largest courtyard in her house, and painted it with a new one. The furniture was made of yellow pear wood. It''s said that Princess Lehui likes antique calligraphy and paintings. She has taken her own storeroom and sent people to all antique shops in the capital to collect antiques for furnishings. When Youran heard about this, he turned over his private library, and had a picture of landscape painting by a famous scholar of the former dynasty, a set of colorful vases given by old lady Feng, a pair of Kang screen embroidered before and a set of glazed tea sets packed in a box. He called Su He over and said, "you''ll change your clothes and go back to the Marquis''s house to send things. You go to tell the godmother that I''m in confinement now, and I can''t go there to help. Please accept these things. Don''t give them up. Just make do with them. When I''m out of confinement, I''ll see her again. "


    After her birth, the flood in the south of the Yangtze River has gradually subsided. Although many villages and fertile fields have been destroyed, the overall disaster situation is within the tolerance of the imperial court. Emperor Longde ordered the neighboring state capital to send troops and grain to the people. He is also preparing to send Imperial Envoys to pacify and relieve the disaster. This time, the prince himself asked for the job. Longde emperor a little thought, also want to experience for a while, then agreed to come down.


    As the crown prince, even if the business is urgent, the travel situation is not small. Enron as less Zhan thing, must accompany, just just catch up with Zhuang Shu labor is about to come.


    Zhuang Shu is also particularly reluctant to give up, but this is an official business. If she refuses to give up, she will not make fun of her husband''s future. She still has to bear the reluctance to give up and pack for her husband. Just as she was tidying up, she heard from the servant girl that her aunt was coming.

 Chapter 270

    After hearing that his younger brother is going to Jiangnan, leisurely is worried about him. Although it is said that when you travel with the prince, there will always be a doctor and a guard on the way, leisurely always feels a faint uneasiness in her heart. In the era of advanced science and technology, a flood would cause such a big disaster. How could it be easily solved here? Leisurely dare not think deeply, neatly pack up a big burden out. Clothes are prepared by his daughter-in-law. Leisurely, they are all ready-made medicines, including those for malaria, wind and cold, falls and bruises, as well as all kinds of powder and ointment for trauma and some white gauze.


    Enron saw these eyebrows fret, put things down, "thank you sister." Leisurely did not say much in front of his mother and sister-in-law, but only said something like "take care of your body and have a good trip".


    Only when he left his mother''s home did he look at his younger brother who sent him to the door, patted him on the shoulder and said, "although the prince can''t travel without bodyguards, since you are a young man, life and death are all tied to the prince. You must be very careful during the journey."


    Listen to this, Enron light smile, "sister rest assured, I know."


    But leisurely did not rest assured for a few days. Less than four days after Enron left Beijing, someone came back to Beijing to report that the crown prince and his party were attacked in Jiangning mansion. The assassin was unidentified but quick, and killed many bodyguards around the crown prince. In the chaos, the prince, several bodyguards and shaozhan Shi Lin Enron were missing.


    As soon as the news came out, Ju Chao was shocked. Emperor Longde was even more shocked and angry. He growled directly above the court: "Prince Tangtang, the crown prince of a country! In broad daylight, I was attacked by assassins? This time they dare to assassinate the prince. Will they assassinate me next time? " This surprised all civil and military officials to kneel down and plead guilty.


    Longde Di patted the Dragon chair and said angrily, "what does Jiangning magistrate do to eat? Let the thief run wild under his own eyes! There''s no way to rule like this, so go home! " Then he successively removed several officials from the Jiangning boundary and the governor yamen of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. Although everyone knew that these people were involved by accident, for a moment, everyone in the court was worried. No one dared to intercede with them in this stall, for fear that they would offend emperor Lund and be dismissed.


    After venting, Emperor Longde began to give orders in a hurry to let the soldiers in the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang find a way to rescue the prince. Another 5000 Imperial troops were sent to Jiangning to find the whereabouts of the crown prince. Originally, they wanted Shen Ze, the imperial commander, to lead his own team. But after a look at Lao Wu, he thought that the Shen family was Lao Wu''s in laws after all, so he sent another general to take charge of it. This matter has really touched the bottom line of Lund di. On weekdays, some of his sons make some small moves in private. He can pretend that he doesn''t know, but this matter can''t be easily calculated! Just like what I said just now, this man is so bold that he dares to let people assassinate the prince today, and then he dares to force the palace to murder his father. He is still alive, one by one so bold, it is the common indignation! The emperor stroked the handle of his seat, and then looked at the civil and military officials kneeling under him. The throne seemed to be high and the scenery was boundless. Who could understand the bitterness and loneliness? Few people, few people, or the ancients see clearly, the emperor is not a lonely family? For this seat, his father, he and his children have been fighting for generations, and what they finally won is just a high place!


    After the early Dynasty, Emperor Longde went back to Qianyuan hall and arranged a dark guard to thoroughly investigate the matter. No matter who is behind it, he doesn''t intend to let this person go!


    Leisurely is bathing his little son at home with his servants. The boy''s nickname is Kangping, which means safe and healthy anyway. As for Daming, it''s never too late to get up. Xiaokang Ping likes to take a bath. As soon as he enters the wooden basin, he waves his hands and feet. He is just a few days after the full moon. According to the nannies, such a small child doesn''t need to take a bath, but the weather is so hot, and he is a bed wetting age. Leisurely, he feels that Kangping''s smell is very bad, and insists on giving the child a bath. This is the third time. Seeing that the second young master didn''t have any discomfort, the nannies stopped muttering.


    After washing, before I could dress the child, I saw a servant girl of the Lin family running in a hurry. Leisurely see her running out of breath, quickly stood up and asked, "how to run so fast? But your grandmother is going to have a baby? " The girl gasped and nodded, "our grandmother and wife heard from one of my colleagues that the prince was assassinated in Jiangning mansion. My grandfather and the prince are missing together. After grandma heard that, she had some stomachache on the spot. She had already entered the delivery room. " Leisurely heard this, not worried about his younger brother, quickly put the baby to the nurse, let Su He at home to take care of the child, and let people call Yulian, ride back to her mother''s home.


    When I got to my mother''s house, I went to my sister-in-law''s yard. I didn''t see anyone standing in front of the yard looking at her. Zhuang Shu''s cry of surprise came from the delivery room. Lin''s mother kept walking around in the hospital. She was worried about her son''s life and death, but also about her daughter-in-law and her grandson. For a moment, she felt helpless. Turning his head, he saw his daughter coming. It seemed that he had the backbone in an instant. He took leisurely hand and cried, "son, your brother, he... He..."


    Although leisurely was also very concerned about it, it would shake his mother''s hand and calmly say, "mother, don''t worry, my younger brother is not alone. He is with the prince. I heard that the most powerful bodyguards around the prince are with them. I don''t think it''s a big deal. My younger brother Ji Ren has his own destiny. Don''t worry too much. I think there will be news in two days. By the way, what''s going on, sister-in-law? "


    The firmness in her daughter''s voice comforted her a little bit. Then she had some sense. She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, frowned and said, "I''ve been in for a while, and she''s thinking about your brother. She''s shocked. It''s going to be going on. It''s all my fault. Mr. Li told me in a low voice. I didn''t calm down and let her know. How can I stand up to your brother if they have a chance? " Then he choked again.


    Leisurely just about to appease her mother, she saw wenpo come out from inside, frowning and asking, "the head of the fetus is not right, it''s difficult to give birth! I''m afraid that adults and children can only protect one. Please make up your mind. I''m afraid it''s too late to protect them! "

 Chapter 271

    After hearing this, Lin''s mother collapsed directly on the ground. Leisurely, she was surprised. When she saw that the midwife was not the one who knew each other all the time, she was hungry. Moreover, this person''s look was obviously evasive. Heart a shock, eyes straight at the midwife, said, "my sister-in-law''s fetus has always been stable, please how many stable mother-in-law''s doctor has seen, said the fetal position is very correct. How come it''s in your mouth and you''re in a wrong position? " After hearing this, Yulian said, "go and invite another wenpo. I''ll go and have a look first." Then he lifted the curtain and went into the room.


    At this time, leisurely turned to ask mother Lin, "mother, I remember my sister-in-law is not going to invite doctor Xu? Why did you invite this old lady to come here? " Lin Mu said in a low voice, "just now your sister-in-law fainted on the ground. I was so flustered that I didn''t take care of her. It''s your brother''s fellow countryman, Mr. Li, who helped you out to invite this steady woman. I''m afraid she''s not familiar with the situation. I''ve just asked Fangcao to invite Xu wenpo. "


    Hearing this, leisurely was relieved, then frowned and asked, "which is Mr. Li?", Lin''s mother replied softly, "it''s Li Juren who studied in Baiyun Academy with your brother. He won the entrance examination last year, and now he is a good scholar in Hanlin Academy! He heard the news of your brother in the yamen, and kindly came to let him know. Later, when I saw that your sister-in-law was not well, I went out to help find wenpo. "


    Leisurely always feels that something is wrong, but now is not the time to worry about it. Just at this time, Mrs. Xu wenpo had already come, and she said to the woman in front of her, "this doctor is suffering, so I''d better go to the side hall to have a rest first. If my sister-in-law gives birth safely, our family must present a big red envelope. If something happens, I don''t mind asking the doctor to come to the Yamen and say in a good voice, "how can the stable one of the nearby people get into your mouth and become a fetus in a wrong position?"


    Granny Wen was embarrassed and said with a smile, "Granny, please forgive me. Maybe it''s because of the poor craftsmanship of the old lady. Your granny will be safe."


    Leisurely cold smile "better be so, otherwise, hum!" The rest of the words leisurely did not say, but the steady woman had obviously felt the murderous spirit in leisurely''s eyes, and could not help shivering. Her servant took her to the back room and sat down. He asked her to have a rest here. In fact, he showed her up. Wenpo was restless in the inverted room. At first, when there were only two wives in the family, she was not so afraid. The wife had no backbone and was led by her nose. However, the old mother in front of her mother is a fierce one. She has been staring at her since she came into the delivery room, so that she has no chance to start, just for a while. However, no matter how powerful she was, she was also a servant, so she didn''t pay attention to it. It is said that this young daughter-in-law is the aunt of this family, and her husband is the commander of the imperial army of zhengsanpin! Wenpo was also shocked when she heard what she was talking about. She could not help regretting it. She knew that there was such a powerful aunt in this family, and she would never agree to the man''s request for a little silver.


    It''s too late for Huizi to regret. Wenpo can only pray silently that the family''s grandmother can give birth safely, otherwise her life will be worrying!


    Just when wenpo was anxious to jump, a burst of crying came. Then a mother-in-law came out of the delivery room and saluted Lin Mu He, saying, "congratulations to my wife and aunt. Grandma gave birth to a daughter, and mother and daughter are safe."


    Lin''s mother''s heart instantly returned to her stomach. When she heard that her daughter-in-law had a daughter, she didn''t lose her heart. She had a grandson, so she said with a smile, "OK, OK, you''ve worked so hard to serve your master. Each of you will get two more months'' money. Come on, let''s send a message to my family. "


    After a while, Yulian came out with her new baby in her arms. Mother Lin only dared to gently lift a corner of her swaddling clothes to look at her granddaughter, and leisurely followed her. Lin''s mother said, "it''s cold outside. Take the baby in quickly. Don''t be blown by the wind." Leisurely said to Lin Mu with a smile, "my sister-in-law is more blessed than I am. All of a sudden, my sons and daughters make up the word" good. ". My mother is so good. I have all my grandchildren. "


    Lin''s mother said with a smile, "I''ll tell you how rare you are! When Kangping is older, you and your son-in-law will work hard to have another one. Let''s go in and have a look at your sister-in-law. "


    After two people go in, see Zhuang Shu has fallen asleep, the maid mother-in-law is helping her clean up. Leisurely asked Yulian, "what''s the situation with my sister-in-law?" Yulian said with a smile, "it''s all right. It''s just a little bit of detachment. I guess I''ll sleep for a while." Leisurely quickly ordered the kitchen to cook millet porridge and eggs, and let people stew some nourishing ginseng black chicken soup. Seeing that her daughter-in-law was ok, Lin''s mother was relieved. But this relaxation, can''t help but worry about the missing son, "this will be an elder brother don''t know how, he and you, also like the daughter, if you know that his daughter-in-law gave him a daughter designated like." With that, tears came down again. Leisurely sister two quickly came forward to comfort, "well, mother, didn''t I tell you? My brother will be fine. Let''s go out and talk. Don''t wake up my sister-in-law any more. " Then he took mother Lin''s arm and went out. She never forgot her younger brother in her heart, but she didn''t dare to show any worries to add to her mother''s worries. It was just a comfort.


    It''s so easy to coax my mother to sleep. I heard that Mr. Li hasn''t left yet. Leisurely thought there was something strange in this matter today, but people helped their own family. It''s reasonable that they should go and thank him face to face. I just don''t know why. She has no good feelings for Li Wenbo and doesn''t like talking to him very much. Is hesitating between, saw Shen Ze big step meteor''s coming. Leisurely heart a song "you come." Shen Ze nodded and asked in a soft voice, "the emperor has ordered 5000 royal guards to go to capture the assassin and search for his Highness the prince. I think there will be news soon. Don''t worry too much."


    Leisurely nodded, "my younger brother has always been a big one. I believe he will be OK. His mother and sister-in-law are very concerned about him, but they just catch up with them." "You don''t know," he said? My sister-in-law gave birth safely just now. She gave birth to a little girl, but she was beautiful and beautiful. My mother said she was the same as her father when he was a child. "


    Seeing that she could still laugh, Shen Ze was relieved. He was afraid that she would be worried and angry. The servant girl and the old lady went to work separately. There was no one around for a moment. Shen Ze took her hand and said, "I know what''s on your mind. Don''t you just want a daughter? When Kangping is older, we''ll have another girl. " Leisurely angry at him, "you and your mother are in the same tune. It''s easy to talk. If you have another boy, you can''t make a living at home?" Shen Ze clenched her hand and said, "it''s OK. I''m not afraid of making trouble. I''m not afraid of you having ten." Leisurely bashful beat him twice and said, "who wants to have so many? Isn''t that a sow? "

 Chapter 272

    Then she thought about the business and said, "look at my brain, I almost forgot the business. One of his younger brother''s classmates is still waiting in the front hall. Today, he told his family about angel. After the sister-in-law fainted, she also helped to invite a steady mother-in-law. Although there were some twists and turns, now the mother and daughter are safe. You went to thank my little brother for his good life, and said that when he came back safely, let him come to the door in person to thank him. "


    Although the younger brother''s classmate is a friend since childhood, in the face of interests, flesh and blood can be ignored, not to mention just classmate''s feelings? Nowadays, the trend of seizing the throne in the court is surging, and the princes try their best to win over the officials in the court. Today''s event is such a coincidence that she has to be suspicious. Fortunately, now sister-in-law and mother and daughter are safe, so I''d better wait for my brother to come back and let him check it in person!


    Li Wenbo has been wandering in the front hall. A young man who was waiting for tea and water has been called away by the steward. He is the only one left in the yard. I don''t know what''s going on in the future? In a trance, there seems to be the cry of the baby and the congratulations of the servants. Is it Enron''s daughter-in-law who gave birth safely?


    Seeing that it would be dark, Li Wenbo could not help waiting for him. When I was pacing back and forth there, I heard a sound of footwork. Then a tall man in a strong suit came in and said, "is this Li Hanlin? I''ve kept you waiting! "


    Li Wenbo hastened to return the gift: "I''m not worthy of it. May I ask your name?" Shen Ze said with a smile, "I''m Enron''s brother-in-law Shen Ze. It''s said that thanks to Mr. Li''s care today. Thank you very much. There''s a lot of noise at home. If there''s any neglect, please bear with me. "


    So this is Enron''s brother-in-law! Li Wenbo secretly made a comparison. He felt that the other side had no other advantages except being taller than himself. His skin was not as fair as his own, his looks were not as handsome as his own (he thought), and his knowledge must be not as good as his own. I''m a good scholar? The other side is just a martial arts man, a rough man, what''s good! The eyes of the Lin family are really not good. At the beginning, they must have taken a good look at the family status of others! Hum, what a group of laymen!


    Although he criticized Shen Ze for nothing at the bottom of his heart, Li Wenbo looked like a modest gentleman. He said with a smile, "Mr. Shen, you''re welcome. Enron and I have been classmates for many years. Don''t be so polite. I don''t know what happened to my sister-in-law? Is there safe production? "


    Shen Ze nodded and said, "mother and daughter are safe. Thank you for remembering. It''s getting late. The family is in a mess. Today, I will leave Mr. Li. Another day, when my brother-in-law returns safely, I''ll treat Mr. Li well. "


    Now, why don''t you drive yourself away? Although Li Wenbo despised each other in his heart, he also knew that the position of the leader of the Imperial Army in the court was not comparable to that of a small ordinary scholar. I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to chat with Haosheng, but I didn''t expect that the other party would drive me away so soon! However, Li Wenbo did not show reluctance. He also knew that today was not a good time, and then he left.


    Shen Ze looks at each other''s back and squints. This person is very strange. If he is really close, shouldn''t he ask his wife to help him when he meets a classmate who has a baby? What''s a big man doing here? If you don''t come, your mother-in-law is ill, and your sister-in-law is in confinement, will you still let your mother come to see him off? Anyway, Shen Ze doesn''t like his brother-in-law''s classmate very much. It''s just that he''ll worry more about Enron''s life and death, and these messy people will be forgotten first.


    Enron, whom the family is thinking about, is hiding in a hidden cave with the prince and others. In the fight, the prince''s arm was slightly injured, and Enron''s left shoulder was cut off to cover the prince himself. Fortunately, he always tied the package leisurely gave to him, which would come in handy. He first helped the prince deal with the death, and then he and several other bodyguards who were slightly injured bandaged each other. These bodyguards usually carry trauma medicine with them, but they are not well prepared.


    Even the prince looked at the package and praised that "although Mr. Lin is young, his mind is meticulous, and this thing is well prepared." Lin Enron said with a faint smile, "Your Highness is over praised, and I don''t know much about it. This package was prepared by my sister before I left. She said that the mountain is high and the road is far away. We must take more of these things for fear of any accident on the road. At first, I thought that my sister was worried, but I couldn''t resist her kindness. I didn''t expect that she would be of great use today. " The prince said with a smile, "it''s still Mrs. Shen''s heart. Mr. Lin will thank Mrs. Shen for being lonely after he goes back." Enron even said he didn''t dare.


    Not to mention how the prince and others deal with the assassins, there are many talented people among them, who skillfully use the terrain of the mountain to play hide and seek with the assassins. Although the assassin and his party were annoyed, they couldn''t find the exact trace of the prince and his party because of the dense mountains and complex terrain and the lack of manpower.


    In a secret house in the capital, the people on the main seat threw their teacups to the ground "a bunch of rubbish! Doesn''t that mean that person has been injured? He didn''t bring a few bodyguards with him. It''s said that he was still injured and died. So many of you can''t even catch a few old, weak, sick and disabled people. It''s really a waste of the king''s careful training! Go and tell them that this can only be a success, not a failure, or they will die with the king. "


    After a few days'' investigation, Emperor Longde finally got some news. Although it seems to point to the Duke of Chu and the fifth Prince Liang who was guarding the mausoleum, it is actually very likely that it was the eldest son of the Emperor Wu. Emperor Longde was disappointed with his eldest son, who was always modest and sensible. Unexpectedly, he also harbored such ambition.


    There is still no news of the prince and his party in Beijing. Even leisurely is in a state of anxiety these days. Zhuang Shu after giving birth to the child, because of anxiety, the body is not very good, fortunately, she still has two children, finally is struggling to support. When Lin''s mother came back to her room that day, she just said to have a rest. Unexpectedly, she didn''t get up after lying down and fell ill like that.


    So leisurely these days is to take care of her mother every day, not only to take care of her sick mother, but also to comfort younger siblings, but also to help manage some of her family affairs. Enron this accident, relatives at home, brother''s colleagues at home in turn to people to visit. In addition, the younger siblings gave birth to children, and some came to give gifts. Leisurely can only play repeatedly spirit to help cooking, fortunately, Shen Xi at home now alone, and Yulian help, if she is really busy.

 Chapter 273

    Lin Mu''s body didn''t improve after taking the medicine for several days. The imperial doctor invited several of them and changed several prescriptions. She didn''t improve all the time. Leisurely also knew that it was because of her heart disease. But now she doesn''t know where her brother is. Although she has been supporting her, she can''t coax mother Lin anymore. Seeing his mother''s illness getting worse day by day, leisurely was also anxious.


    While leisurely feeling helpless, the news came from the Suzhou government that the prince had made a detour to the Suzhou government. Although he was slightly injured, he was not seriously hurt. Then the prince''s memorial came before the emperor Longde''s case. It turned out that these days everyone paid attention to the assassins. The prince and his subordinates paid a private visit to many people and officials at the bottom of the river. We found out the fact that the original disaster relief agent colluded with local officials to pay for money and grain, and presented the corresponding evidence.


    Long de Di received the memorial from the prince, who was brought up by himself. Although occasionally a little indecisive, but the overall means of the mind is not lacking, but also in his eyes the most suitable successor to the throne. If something happened to the prince in Jiangnan, not to mention that the whole court would be shocked, even he would not give up.


    Moreover, in the memorial, the prince also praised shaozhan and Lin Enron for their bravery and sacrifice in the face of danger. Later, when he investigated the relief funds, he gave advice. He was really a brave and resourceful loyal minister.


    Longde Di nodded with a smile. It seemed that he had a good eye. The shaozhan affair he chose for the prince was really excellent.


    Knowing that the prince was not only OK, but also investigated and handled a case by the way, Longde Di was in a good mood. Thinking that the queen and the crown princess were also very worried about the safety of the prince, he drove to the Queen''s palace.


    Although empress Meng already knew the news that the crown prince had nothing to do, she still pretended to be surprised and congratulated the emperor. Then she quickly asked the Palace officials to report to the crown princess. Then he listened to Longde''s praise of Enron, and then said with a smile, "yesterday, when the girl Le''an came to invite her, she said that Lin Zhuangyuan''s wife had just had a baby, but there was no news of Lin Zhuangyuan, so the family must be worried. I''m going to let people enjoy some things in the past, so as to ease the hearts of the Lin family Then she asked the maid of honor to choose some cloth and baby collars and give them to the Lin family.


    When the princess knew about it, she quickly picked up something for someone to send.


    After receiving the reward from the queen and the crown princess, Lin''s mother was in peace of mind. Although she was not in high spirits immediately, she soon recovered. Zhuang Shu heard that her husband has made great achievements, but also sad and happy, finally feel a stone in the heart fell to the ground. The whole family is happy at last.


    These days leisurely to tired out, after Lin Mu Da''an, back home to sleep a full day and night, just feel a little better.


    Two days later, Enron''s letter was sent back. The letter said that he was very well now. He and the crown prince had arrived in the area of Dongting Lake, which was the worst hit area. He was there to pacify the suffering people and would return to Beijing after the disaster relief, so that his family must not worry. There was no mention of the injury.


    After receiving the reward from the palace, the family already knew that he was safe, but there was always some worry in the bottom of their heart. Now, seeing Enron''s letter, the family finally put down their heart.


    Leisurely see Lin mother body completely recovered, Zhuang Shu although still in the month can''t go out, but the face also has a small appearance, finally is put down. After resting at home for a few days, he prepared something to go to the Marquis''s house in Changping to greet Meng.


    Xu is afraid that his daughter won''t be able to get married any later. Emperor Longde has decided that Han Jin and princess Lehui will marry on June 20. Fortunately, most of the things used for the wedding were prepared a few years ago, and now they just decorate the house and prepare some fresh food.


    When she arrived leisurely, Meng was listening to the women in charge in the Council hall. Seeing her coming, she quickly asked them to go down. Leisurely and apologetically smile, "I''ve come by a bad time. I''ve delayed ganniang''s business."


    Meng waved his hand with a smile. "It''s OK, but it''s all small things. They can do it by themselves. Just see me at home do not want to let me clean, just you come, I also take the opportunity to have a rest. Oh, by the way, Kangtai went to school. Why didn''t you bring Kangping? Who''s watching him at home? "¡° It''s too small. I didn''t bring him out on such a hot day. His aunt is just watching him at home these days, which saves me a lot of heart. " Leisurely replied with a smile.


    They went to Meng''s house with each other. Meng nodded as he walked. "Well, I didn''t dare to recognize you when you brought her here for the new year. But I haven''t seen you for more than half a year. I''m just like a big girl. By the way, how old is the new year


    While they were talking, they went into the room and helped Meng to the master''s seat. Fang replied with a smile, "I''m 12 years old, but I''m not a big girl? In a few years, it''s time to see her husband''s family. I''ve started to save her dowry. I''ve just been engaged. She''s still a girl with yellow hair. It''s time to be a cardamom in a twinkling of an eye. "


    Meng nodded her head with a smile, "how old are you? You are so old! I remember the first time I saw you, you were that age, right? I don''t know where I can get the strength to take Jin Ge''er out of the pool. At that time, everyone was busy looking after Jin Ge''er and hanging you out. You don''t make a sound. You''re shivering with cold. Or Feixu that girl quietly took a quilt to you around


    These are the experiences of the original owner. Leisurely, he is a little vague about the details. At the moment, he can only smile and say, "it''s hard for ganniang to remember these things. I forgot the specific situation at that time."


    Meng sighed, "at that time, you had a serious illness, and it was normal to have some vagueness. Fortunately, you survived, otherwise, I would have lost a good daughter today. "


    They said something about their family. Meng left her for lunch. Seeing that he couldn''t help her here, he delayed Meng''s work. After dinner, he left leisurely.


    After leaving the Marquis''s house, seeing that it was still early, leisurely she let the coachman drive to the Liuli shop. She just drew some fresh pictures and prepared to send them to the shop. When they were fired, they were ready to be used for the Mid Autumn Festival.


    In addition to Shen Jiang, there is also an old shopkeeper in the shop to take care of him. After leisurely entering, he saw that although there were no guests in the shop, the room was clean and tidy, and the furnishings were shining. He nodded in his heart. Seeing her coming, many people in the shop are afraid that she is coming to be accountable. After all, such a big shop can''t even earn the cost. The shopkeeper and Shen Jiang are ashamed.


    However, leisurely didn''t mention the sales volume at all. He just handed the samples to the later master and told him that it was necessary to cook them carefully. He walked around the room again, and was about to leave when a group of servant women came in with a lady.

 Chapter 274

    Looking up leisurely, the visitor was dressed in luxurious clothes and had a clear face. It was Princess Zhou who had met once. So he quickly saluted and said, "I don''t know if the empress of the princess has arrived, but if she has lost something, she should be forgiven."


    Princess Zhou waved her hand with a smile. "Madam Shen, please get up. I''m just passing by and coming in to have a look. I''ve heard that this shop belongs to Mrs. Shen for a long time. I didn''t expect that Mrs. Shen took care of it herself. "


    Leisurely quickly back to the road, "this shop usually I don''t come here, usually have a special person to take care of.". Today, I just happened to come and have a look. I''m just about to leave, and my mother is coming. " The rest of her eyes saw that there was sweat on Princess Zhou''s face. Looking at the bright sun outside, she didn''t know where Princess Zhou came from? On his face, he said with a smile, "it''s hot today. Why don''t you go to the inner room and have a cup of tea first? I''ll let them take the things to her." Princess Zhou nodded, "since Mrs. Shen is warmly invited, it''s disrespectful."


    So they sat down in the inner room. Su Heyi heard that the other side was Princess Zhou, and he did not dare to neglect her. Quickly let people put the ice basin on the carriage into the room, and let two little servant girls take the big Pu fan to cool the wind. The tea here is not good enough. Fortunately, there are several kinds of tea that leisurely used to like to drink on the carriage. They are all imported things, and now they can hold them. And let the boy quickly ran to the next street baiweiju bought two save plate.


    When the princess of Zhou finished reading some famous paintings and calligraphy and several glazed flowers in the room, all the tea and fruit snacks were ready. Leisurely smile asked Princess Zhou to sit down and have tea. While sitting down, Princess Zhou said with a smile, "it''s said that Mrs. Shen is a comprehensive person. Today, I only look at the servant girls around me to know that this is not empty, but it''s much better than mine."


    Leisurely and modest smile "they are quite smart, but they dare not compare with the sisters around the empress." Princess Zhou''s lonely smile, no longer words, just picked up the cup to sip a sip of tea. Then he praised "delicate fragrance, this tea is really good." And then two more drinks.


    Seeing that Princess Zhou seemed to like the tea, she said leisurely, "this tea was brought by a friend from Fuzhou. It tastes a little lighter, and can''t be compared with the tea."


    Princess Zhou shook her head with a smile and said, "it''s nothing but a name. I drink those assigned by the house office, which are not as good as this. " Who doesn''t know that the princess of Zhou is not loved by the king of Zhou, but valued by her mother''s family. If she didn''t have some dignity in front of Queen Meng, I''m afraid there would be no place for her in the palace. The king of Zhou had no real power. Which of those slaves in the house of internal affairs didn''t watch the dishes? What they gave to their family were only second-class goods. Then the king of Zhou asked the top ones to go. What good goods did she have? It''s just such a trivial matter that she never cares about.


    Seeing her look a little lonely, she thought of her situation leisurely and said, "I still have two unopened cans there. If you don''t want to give up, you can take them with you for a while." Princess Zhou shook her head with a smile. "That''s so funny." Leisurely said, "people don''t like to drink this because it''s tasteless. It''s rare for my mother to like it. It''s rotten to put it in a vertical and horizontal way. Please don''t refuse. "


    While talking, the servant girls brought in some of the most exquisite glazed tea sets in the shop. Leisurely smile said "Niang Niang look, these can enter the eye?"


    In the end, Princess Zhou chose a sunflower style tea set and a pair of glazed vases. Leisurely didn''t plan to collect money, but Princess Zhou insisted on giving it, so she had to accept it. Only another set of wine sets and the two cans of tea mentioned just now were taken by others. The princess of Zhou accepted them.


    It was so easy to send the princess away. Leisurely, seeing that it was not early, she went home. Not long after I got into the carriage, I remembered that both Kangtai and taoliang liked to eat the Cuiyu bean cake from a snack shop in the next street, so I asked the driver to take a shortcut from an alley.


    When they got there, their mother-in-law went to buy snacks and waited on the carriage. There are many food shops in this street. It''s just near dinner time, and the street is full of people. Leisurely through the gap of the car curtain, casual look around. Suddenly, two people standing in the opposite alley attracted her attention. One is his brother''s colleague, Jiang Wei of the prince''s mansion. The other is Chen Changhai, the biographer of Jinke. You ran once saw Chen Changhai when he was crossing the Horse Street, and he was still a cousin with the eldest son of the emperor, King Wu. You ran was very impressed by him because he was one of the few young children in xungui who got promoted by the imperial examination. For example, Prince Xima Jiangwei, also a son of the prince''s forefather''s family, was admitted to the Imperial Academy by virtue of Yin Gong, and was later recruited by the prince. However, you ran has heard from his younger brother that Jiang Wei has been familiar with the prince since he was a child. He has been on duty with the prince for many years. He is loyal to the prince and has a good way of doing things. He is highly valued by the prince. If it wasn''t for the limitation of fame, it would be Mr. Jiang. It''s just how these two people got together. Although the king of Wu always behaved like a human being, leisurely every time he heard his name, he would think of the eighth Prince of the Qing Dynasty, who was known as the "virtuous king". He only felt hypocritical. You ran didn''t believe that the king of Wu really had no idea about the throne. If you look at them again, they just separated after a short talk, and they looked around for a long time when they left. It was just a joint of underground organizations, and their doubts were even more serious. Leisurely, she dropped her eyes. A few days ago, she had heard Fang Xinsu say that there were rumors in the court that the assassination of the crown prince had something to do with the king of Wu. Although emperor Longde came forward to stop such words, he also reprimanded the king of Wu for trifles, which made people speculate even more.


    However, seeing the two people standing together today, leisurely heart murmured, could it be that the case of the assassination of the crown prince had something else strange? Leisurely moment brain fill a lot of privacy calculation, think of brain Ren are painful. Finally, she shook her head with self mockery. Forget it, it has nothing to do with her. Whether there is something strange or not, the prince is the winner this time. As a subordinate official of the eastern palace, her younger brother''s status will naturally rise with the tide, and she has nothing to tangle with.


    After a while, the woman came back with the cake. Leisurely put this matter in the back of my mind and went home with cakes to coax the children. When I went home in the evening, I got good news from Shen Ze. The disaster relief in Jiangnan was very smooth, and almost all the victims had been settled. The original assassin was not caught. The emperor was afraid that the prince would have any more accidents, so he ordered to recall the prince to the capital. As a subordinate official of the prince, Enron naturally returned to Beijing together. It must be a few days before Enron can come back.


    After hearing the news, leisurely was very happy. He didn''t care that it was too late. He asked someone to take a message to his mother''s home. His mother and sister-in-law were always worried about it.

 Chapter 275

    Sure enough, after about five or six days, a familiar family member of the city defense army sent a letter to say that the prince and his party had arrived outside the city. Leisurely quickly sent people to the gate to inquire about the details. After a while, the servants came back and reported that the crown prince had indeed returned to Beijing. The princes and princes were ordered to meet him at the gate in person. Leisurely is about to send someone to tell his mother''s home. Someone comes from his mother''s home. He says that his uncle has come back and is going to the palace to report his work. Please don''t worry about it.


    A dowager of Zhuang Shu came to deliver the letter. She said with a leisurely smile, "I''m going to send a letter to your master. You''re here. The news is very good."


    The old lady said with a smile, "our wife and grandmother are all concerned about our uncle. Since the day before yesterday, they have specially sent people to wait outside the gate of the city. I happened to meet my uncle. I came back to deliver the letter as soon as I got the order. "


    Leisurely smile "your grandmother has always been able, just go back to tell her, this is not a month, although not a few days, but also absolutely can''t be careless, still have a good health, don''t rely on young don''t know maintenance." The mother-in-law also frowned slightly and said, "what my aunt said is that my wife always said the same thing, but how can my grandmother be content to worry about my uncle these days? But I think it will be good for you to come back this time. "


    "It''s the same thing. When angel comes back, she''ll be at ease. I have some fresh longan from others. I remember your grandmother loves them. Please take some back. " Leisurely while saying, he ordered his subordinates to clean up. The old lady said thanks and left with her things.


    In the palace, Emperor Longde was happy to see that the prince had finally returned safely. It''s just that the prince has always been in the habit of taking care of himself. This time, he has been away for many days and has been sleeping in the mountains for many days. Naturally, he will become thinner and darker. When he thought about this son, he almost lost his life. Lund de Di was also distressed that he was "black and thin". This time I''ve done a good job. I''ll give you a good reward. "


    The prince said modestly, "it''s my honor to share my father''s worries. Besides, thanks to the full help of all my ministers, I can''t take credit for this job."


    Emperor Longde nodded and said, "I have a clear idea. As long as you are a meritorious minister, the imperial court will naturally express something. Just go back to your last letter of merit."


    After the father and son finished talking, Emperor Longde summoned the officials who followed the prince to the south to do the errands, and they could not help praising and rewarding him. Among them, Enron, who was seriously injured for sacrificing his life to protect the crown prince, was naturally the object of consolation and praise. In particular, young ministers like this, who are both civil and military, are more attractive to the emperor. How come lundeti didn''t want this boy to be his son-in-law before he touched his chin!


    Of course, Longde emperor is also a casual sigh. After all, Enron''s birth is there, and he was not included in the selection of his son-in-law at the beginning. After inquiring all the ministers one by one, Emperor Longde said with a smile, "if you''ve just come back, you must be thinking about it at home. I won''t leave you for dinner today. The day after tomorrow is the happy day for the girl. Five days later, I will hold a banquet in the hall of Baohua to entertain you. " All the people were satisfied and knelt down to thank the emperor.


    The second day was just a rest day. Leisurely and leisurely got up early in the morning and cleaned up. After breakfast, they went to the Lin family. When he saw his complete brother, he looked up and down for a long time, touched his shoulder, and said with a smile, "I''m very well. My sister doesn''t have to worry."


    Leisurely see he was not strong body, now only skin and bones, face is also a lot of black, only a pair of eyes black and white, more intense. Heart pain, red eyes, said, "you finally come back safely, see thin like this, must have suffered a lot. I''ve brought some excellent bird''s nest medlar and red ginseng Poria cocos. Later, I''ll let my cousin give you a prescription for a side medicated diet. You''ll get a good tonic. "


    Enron reluctantly stroked his forehead and said, "don''t worry, elder sister. His Highness the prince has already asked the doctor to give me a pulse. I''m young and well grounded, and I''m not seriously injured. I haven''t been hindered for a long time. How can you become as nagging as your mother now? You are still so young! But this time, thanks to the package you gave me, the herbs and bandages have helped us a lot. "


    Leisurely gently shook his head, "I''d rather you didn''t use these this time." He turned his head and saw that no one else noticed. He said in a low voice, "just this time. I can''t take such a risk next time. Although we are seeking wealth and wealth in danger, what''s the use if we inadvertently take our lives, even if we have great achievements? " At first, she was worried about her brother''s safety and didn''t think deeply about it, but later, after careful thinking, she felt that the prince was attacked by chance. Later, after hearing that the emperor reprimanded the eldest prince Wu for no reason, he was more sure that the so-called "Assassination" might be just a "lead the snake out of the hole" and "bitter meat trick" made by the prince. Hearing this, Enron was shocked. "How does my sister know..." leisurely whispered, "I just happened to know something, and then made a random guess. Don''t worry, I didn''t tell anyone. It''s just that your highness, the prince, doesn''t look like a fuel-efficient lamp. You should be more careful in the future. " Enron nodded, "sister, don''t worry, your highness is not that narrow-minded person, I have a sense of propriety in my heart."


    Leisurely sighs in his heart. I just hope his highness is not the one who is waiting for the bridge to be torn down. After a few words, leisurely he went to visit his sister-in-law and niece. He had lunch here at noon.


    Just after lunch, the table had not been tidied up, so the boy on the door came to reply, "the imperial edict has arrived. The father-in-law of the edict is getting out of the sedan chair."


    So everyone went out to greet the people who came to announce the edict, and put up the incense case Futon to kneel down to welcome the edict. It''s no one else. It''s Mr. Chen Jiang. His eyes slightly carefree, in front of the crowd did not show too familiar with the appearance, straight to Enron smile and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Lin, but this time promoted." Seeing this battle, people feel relieved. It''s not a bad thing.


    When the incense table was set up and the imperial edict was received, everyone knew that in addition to gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, the emperor also rewarded Enron with a false position as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion. Although it''s just a virtual job, it''s also from the top of the third grade. Although the fourth grade and the third grade are only one grade apart, how many people can''t cross this barrier all their lives. Enron, only in her twenties this year, has entered the ranks of top three. It''s really gratifying.


    After you got the news, your relatives and friends came to visit one after another, and the Lin family''s house was very popular. Fortunately, Enron was calm. The next day he went to see his teacher in Yangtian mountain. Lin''s mother refused to see her daughter-in-law in the name that she needed to rest before she came out of the confinement, and only kept in touch with a few people who had always been close to her.

 Chapter 276

    After learning the news, the prince laughed and said to his aides, "Lin Qing is not old, but she has a steady mind. She has a good command of both literature and martial arts. I hope she can have a good future. I didn''t waste the trouble that the orphan king had spent at the beginning. " The man said with a silent compliment, "Qianlima is common, but Bole is not. Even if Lord Lin is a great talent, you must have the wisdom of bole, your highness


    The south, the prince not only successfully completed the task, but also to do bait successfully pulled out the boss''s fox tail. Now the eldest is suspected by his father, the third is trapped in the imperial mausoleum, and the fourth is a thief, but not a thief. Although the fifth has some military achievements, his influence is not good. Among the princes, no one can resist him now. Although the prince tried his best to be calm, he could not help feeling complacent and high spirited.


    The prince''s complacency peaked at the wedding banquet for Princess Lehui in the second day palace. Although the banquet was held for today''s married Lehui, all the royal princes who came to the banquet praised his Highness the prince. For a while, the prince''s old and steady Chengfu was a bit of a flutter.


    However, fate often likes to joke with you at this time. When his royal highness, who is still talking and laughing, suddenly pours blood on the ground, the people in the hall don''t react for a moment.


    Even emperor Lund was a little stunned for a moment, until Fang Xinjian, who was in charge of today''s defense duty, yelled "escort" and led several generals to guard him. Soon, the guards on duty outside rushed in and were ordered to surround the front and back of the hall. They were allowed to enter and not allowed to leave.


    The imperial doctors were almost escorted over. However, after several imperial doctors took turns to pulse the prince, they all shook their heads and sighed and knelt down on the ground. Among them, Yao Yuyi, the chief physician of Taiyuan hospital, took the lead in answering, "if you return to your highness, the crown prince''s Royal Highness is a branch of Artemisia, which is produced in Nanman. It''s very poisonous. It can poison hundreds of people with just a little bit in the nail cap, commonly known as" three turns and a half. "., After persuading this poison, unless you can take the antidote within three and a half breath, you will die. I''m incompetent. I''m powerless to return to heaven. Please let your majesty plead guilty. " Other imperial doctors and imperial doctors also pleaded guilty.


    Emperor Longde lifted the imperial table in front of him and wanted to kill all the doctors in front of him. But some surviving reason stopped him, and lundeti stopped seeing these doctors. He went to the prince and looked at the other side''s dark face. His heart ached and he gritted his teeth and said, "give me a thorough investigation!" He didn''t use any of the ministers in the hall to ask his secret guard to investigate the matter.


    At this time, the eunuch, who was responsible for testing the medicine for the prince, also spat blood and fell to the ground, which surprised everyone. Only doctor Yao bravely went forward to diagnose his pulse, and then said to Emperor Longde, "tell your majesty, the poison in this father-in-law is the same as that in his royal highness, but this person should have taken the corresponding antidote in advance, alleviated some of the effect, so he can last until now."


    No matter how complicated things are, the death of the little eunuch finally points a clear way for the dark Wei. They follow this line to check. However, it was found out in an hour. Poison is the little eunuch who is in charge of testing the medicine for the prince. The eunuch is in tangpinli when people are unprepared. The reason why the eunuch does this is because his only relative, his sister, died for the empress''s mother before. He was dissatisfied that his sister lost her life for the sake of a dead man in the mood for love. He always held a grudge. But when the empress was dead, the little eunuch aimed his revenge at the prince, and someone with a heart was stirring up. That''s why he did what he did today.


    How could a little eunuch have such strange poison in southern Xinjiang? There must be someone behind him, but have you found out who''s behind him? " Dark Wei presents a thing to long de Di, long de Di sees after sneer way "as expected is them!"


    However, it is said that Changping Marquis''s house is full of gongs and drums, full of guests and bustling. Today is the wedding day of Princess Lehui, and the scene is very grand. As the adopted daughter of the Han family, leisurely has been busy greeting the Han family. The ceremony went smoothly. As soon as they got into the bridal chamber, they saw a female official beside Le Hui coming in from outside in a hurry and saying a few words to Le Hui''s ear. Lehui''s face changed greatly, even the jade Ruyi in her hand almost fell to the ground.


    Later, Lehui spoke to Han alone. Han came out to find a reason to send all the guests away. Everyone was puzzled, but seeing Han''s dignified look, they knew that this time things were not small, and they all left home. Leisurely still wants to stay to see if she can help, but Han asks her to hurry home. "There''s an accident in the palace. Go back first, get ready for plain clothes and white flags, and listen to the death knell."


    Leisurely heart a shock, also don''t know who died. Then he took a look in the direction of the bridal chamber. It seems that his life is not good.


    The real murderer had come out, and the imperial clan and others who had been trapped in the hall were dismissed by Emperor Longde, and only a few princes were left. It is not clear what happened afterwards. At dusk, Emperor Longde ordered that the eldest son''s mother, Xu, poisoned the crown prince. Today, he was deprived of his title and given a pot of poisonous wine. Seeing the matter exposed, Princess Xu Xian shouldered all her sins and was only willing to give her children a chance of life.


    The next morning, the prince''s funeral letter had been sent to all parts of the capital. Leisurely asked the servants to change all the colorful things in the house and hang them up. At the same time, he changed into plain clothes and went to the palace to cry.


    The heartbroken emperor Longde and the death of the crown prince personally referred to the word "Jinghuai" as the posthumous title of the crown prince, and ordered him to be buried next to his mausoleum.


    Compared with the grand funeral of the prince, Princess Xu Xian, who was once the first of the four imperial concubines, died quietly and carried out with a thin coffin. If it wasn''t for the sake of her having a son and a daughter, I''m afraid lundeti didn''t even want to leave a coffin for her. At this time, the king of Wu was in an awkward situation, and the affairs behind the Xu family were managed by Princess Le Ning. Emperor Longde did not allow her to be buried in the imperial mausoleum after her death, so le Ning had to find a place to bury her mother and imperial concubine in one of her Chuang Tzu.


    Seeing that things were revealed and his mother''s concubine was given death, the king of Wu felt that the situation was over, but the prince was dead, and he still had a little hope of a comeback. Only this kind of hope was poured out when he learned that lundeti wanted him to become a monk. The king of Wu retreated and stayed in his study all night. The next day, when people brought breakfast in, they found that he had committed suicide.

 Chapter 277

    However, in just a few days, lundeti seemed to be getting old all of a sudden. His black hair had turned gray. The death of the prince has made him sad. Although Xu has taken all the blame himself, he knows in his heart that it has nothing to do with the boss. Before he could figure out what to do with the king of Wu, he learned the news that the king of Wu had committed suicide. With a long sigh, Emperor Longde waved his hand dejectedly, "death is like a lamp out. Just let the house of internal affairs bury him according to the rules of the king of Wu."


    In just a few days, the palace held a funeral for the crown prince and a princess. Leisurely stand in Gaoming pile into the palace to guard the system, there are still some like falling into a dream. In the past, she had only seen the cruel fight of seizing her husband in history books and TV dramas. This time, she attended their funeral in person and felt cold all over. The Grand Prince, under one person and above ten thousand people, is just separated by Yin and Yang in a twinkling of an eye. Then another king of Wu died. It seems that the fight ended with the loss of both sides, but I have a premonition that the future situation will be more complex and changeable. When the prince was there, the princes only acted in secret and did not dare to go too far. Now the prince and the eldest son are dead, and the rest of the princes are not legitimate or long. I''m afraid no one can convince anyone!


    Think of Shen Tian again. With Shen Ze''s position and identity, they are afraid that sooner or later they will be involved in this bloody and intriguing fight for their own rights. The gap of weeping, leisurely looked up to the clear sky, so the days of wind and cloud is afraid to be more and more far away from her.


    As soon as the prince''s first seven days passed, lundeti fell ill. Although the cause is common cold, but still a high fever does not retreat, a disease. In his heart, Emperor Longde resented that the king of Wu and the crown prince were fighting for power and gain, and even fratricidal, but the white haired man sent the black haired man to lose his two sons one after another. The emperor''s heart is not good, coupled with the recent physical and mental exhaustion, and age, so the disease can be described as a menace.


    Not to mention how the imperial doctors of Tai hospital devoted themselves to medication, the concubines of the harem also came to Qianyuan palace in turn to serve the disease. Naturally, princesses and princesses will not miss this opportunity to show their filial piety and show their wishes to serve the palace. Naturally, empress Meng would not stop the princes at this time and arrange a shift for them. As for the concubines in the harem, because they thought they were young and unstable, and the princes and grandchildren had to move back and forth these days, they only ordered a few senior concubines to serve the disease. She herself was here every day, from morning till night, with no sign of impatience.


    This time, the king of Zhou was the most diligent. He didn''t often come to see the emperor when he was on duty and say hello to the queen. Originally, he had no idea about the throne, but now when the prince and the king of Wu died, the third one was demoted to the throne, and he is still guarding the imperial mausoleum. Among the princes in the capital, he is the eldest. With such a good chance, the king of Zhou had to fight for it.


    Not only did he come here by himself, he often said to Princess Zhou, "Empress Dowager used to be closest to you in a kind of daughter-in-law. Now that her father is seriously ill and her mother has been working hard, you should go to the palace to comfort her." To this end, also sent a lot of things to the main courtyard of Princess Zhou.


    Although Princess Zhou was tired of him in her heart, she put away her propriety without mercy. He didn''t show any impatience for the king of Zhou to stay in the main courtyard for several days. He just laughed and took the words to support him, and sent another servant girl to wait in the wing room. Although two elder brothers have just died, King Zhou, a younger brother, should be more restrained, but as long as it doesn''t spread to the outside world, no one will say anything. No matter who served the king of Zhou, in the eyes of the royal family, the king of Zhou made peace with the princess. Although Princess Zhou used to be in charge of the backyard of the palace, she was also under the pressure of the administrators. Thanks to her good methods, she was able to stabilize the situation. Now that the king of Zhou is in such a state, the people in the palace all show their love to her. When the princess of Zhou is in the palace, it can be said that she wants the wind to get the wind and the rain to get the rain, which makes Wei''s popularity jump.


    This day, another steward came to tell her that a pair of top-quality porcelain bottles were smashed in the courtyard of the imperial concubine Wei. The imperial concubine Wei wanted to get a new pair of porcelain from the warehouse.


    After listening to the lady in charge, Princess Zhou slowly picked up the glass tea cup on the Kang Table and took a sip of tea. She saw that the tea in the cup was straight and even, and the taste was mellow and sweet, worthy of being called "Gongjian" Junshan silver needle. Such top-notch tea used to be out of her hands, but now the house of internal affairs has delivered it to her. Princess Zhou stirred up a sneer on her lips. The taste of power is really a mystery. She is so, must have been used to the smooth side of the Wei imperial concubine is also so! Thinking of this, she raised her head and said faintly, "according to her rules, if you should, you can find a couple for her. If you shouldn''t, you can only do things according to the rules. Do you want me to teach you such a little thing? " Speaking of the last tone has been sharp up, the steward of the woman beat a spirit, after the accusation will retreat.


    In the past, the imperial concubine of Wei was favored by the king of Zhou. She always had a good time in the house. Now she was humiliated by the imperial concubine. Naturally, she couldn''t swallow it. Early on, he sent someone to intercept the king of Zhou at the second gate, and then he intercepted him to his own yard and cried. If in the past, maybe the king of Zhou would reprimand the princess according to her wishes. At least I will find a pair of famille rose vases in my private room to make up for her. But today, after listening to Wei''s cry, the king of Zhou didn''t do it.


    Although the king of Zhou was always generous, it was because he had no intention of the throne in the past, so he didn''t want to be a "gentleman" in front of outsiders. Even though he has a mediocre aptitude, he has been taught by a famous Confucian master since he was a child. He knows what he should know. Today, it''s easy to be sure that the king of Zhou would not do anything more about these small things. The Dakang Dynasty has always been the most important one. If ginseng spoils his concubine and destroys his wife, wouldn''t it just increase his power?


    Seeing that the king of Zhou didn''t speak for a long time, the imperial concubine of Wei was not happy. She was just about to make another twist. When she looked up, she just saw the uncertain face of the king of Zhou. For a moment, she did not dare to be presumptuous. She just gently pulled the sleeve of King Zhou and called out "Lord..."


    Concubine Wei always pays attention to maintenance. Her small face is lustrous and can be broken by blowing. The king of Zhou pinches her small face. "Xia''er has always been sensible. Now it''s an eventful time. You should let the princess first. What is a famille rose vase? When the wish of the king of Japan is fulfilled, how about giving you an eight tailed Phoenix crown? "


    Eight tail Phoenix crown? It was something that only the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine could use. Wei''s concubine was shocked. Could the king of Zhou have saved that thought? No wonder he''s not normal these days. He''s warm to the old lady again. It''s because of this!


    These days, Shen Ze has gone to the government many times. Leisurely and his husband and wife have formed a tacit understanding for many years. There is no need to say more about some things. Just be clear in your heart. This day is supposed to be Shen Ze''s day of rest. It''s raining heavily outside, but Shen Ze still had breakfast early in the morning and went out.


    Leisurely looking at Xianggong''s back disappearing in the rain curtain all over the sky, I sighed that the day is about to change

 Chapter 278

    Knowing that emperor Longde was seriously ill, the third prince, who was guarding the mausoleum, couldn''t sit down any more. After seven or eight setbacks, he said that he was willing to change his past and change his mind. He only wanted his father to give him a chance to serve the decoction.


    Lundeti has been ill for several days, but he has made some progress in the past two days. Although he is still seriously ill, he can get up and sit for a while. This day he saw the third prince''s plea for peace, and he was not very happy. Now two princes have died. The remaining ones are the fourth with mediocre qualifications and the sixth with too much jumping off. The seventh is only seven years old, and the remaining two are smaller. If he is strong, he will be able to train a few more. But this serious illness made him less optimistic about his health. Now, you can only choose between the third and fifth.


    Although the third year''s work in the past two years was a bit eager for quick success and instant benefit, people who have achieved great things since ancient times are not good people. In contrast, some of the old five are too gentle.


    No matter how long de Di tangled in his heart, the third prince finally returned to the capital smoothly. As soon as he saw lundeti, he knocked his head several times. All the people standing in the hall felt that they had a headache just listening to the sound, and Longde Di was also a little excited and coughed. Empress Meng quickly came forward and patted him on the back while saying to the third prince, "the ground is cold. Old three, get up quickly. I know you have filial piety, and there will be opportunities in the future. Your father is very excited to see you. Come to your father first and let him have a look. "


    Then the third prince got up, went to the emperor and stood still. He bowed himself and cried, "father


    Longde Di''s breath at this time has stabilized down, to see this former favorite son, once high spirited, now covered with dust and frost. Lundeti was so sad that his anger was almost gone. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "just come back. I''ll change my old habits in the future." The third prince choked and agreed.


    Empress Meng stood aside and saw the scene of father and son meeting again after a long separation.


    Since emperor Longde woke up, all the princes came to visit him day by day. At this moment, they just watched the scene, and their mood was naturally complicated.


    Back in the house, the king of Zhou angrily said to his staff, "this old man is used to pretending to be poor. He made such a big mistake. Now he shed a few tears in front of his father. It''s really hateful to expose the matter so painlessly."


    His aides all comforted him one after another. When he was almost angry, one of them said, "Your Highness, don''t worry too much about the third prince. He has been away from Beijing for several years, but now his power is not as powerful as before. Princess Lezhen is trapped in rongning nunnery by the empress. Even empress Wei has not been favored for a long time now. Your highness still has a chance. The most urgent task is to attract more important ministers to his highness before the third prince recovers his vitality. "


    The king of Zhou nodded, "how can I not know this? It''s just that these ministers are all like monkeys. They are all standing on dry land, and none of them is good for each other. " These aides have been following the king of Zhou for many years. They are loyal to him. However, if there was anything extraordinary about intelligence, it would not have come to a prince''s mansion without real power.


    So after muttering for a long time, a group of people failed to come up with a good idea. The angry king of Zhou threw his sleeve to the imperial concubine Wei in the backyard.


    After listening to King Zhou''s complaint, concubine Wei turned her eyes and said with a smile, "I thought it was something that made the prince so upset. It turned out that it was just such a small matter!"


    The king of Zhou browed: "little things? It''s so easy for you to say, but what can I do? "


    Wei side imperial concubine says with a smile, "men like nothing more than those things, power, status, money and beauty. Wang Ye only needs to find out the other party''s preferences, and he can do it one by one. If he can''t do it once, he can do it twice or three times. After a long time, there will always be people taking the bait. "


    "There''s something about this, but what if there''s a man who doesn''t lack power and money and doesn''t love beauty?" Zhou Wang asked with a smile. Wei Ruxia frowned, "don''t laugh at me. How can there be such a man in this world?"


    The king of Zhou took the cup on the table and took a sip of tea. "It''s true, for example, Shen Ze, the commander of the imperial army. Although this man is the elder brother of the fifth daughter-in-law, he holds great power after all. If you can pull him over, Wang''s men will not only add a strong general, but also a big blow to the fifth. It''s just that I''ve asked people to make a lot of explorations. It''s really hard for this man to get oil and salt into the market! "


    Shen Ze! Wasn''t her wife a servant girl of the loyal government before? It''s said that Shen Ze is deeply attached to her and has been married for many years. So far, she hasn''t even got a house. Why?


    Thinking of this, Wei Ruxia said with a smile to King Zhou, "since ancient times, heroes have been sad about the beauty pass. Maybe it''s the wrong person to choose in the past? After all, no matter how the maid pretends, she can''t compare with the noble bearing of Miss Qianjin. Mr. Shen''s wife is a slave. Maybe he''s tired of this type and wants to change his taste. In the past, what the LORD sent must have been actors and prostitutes. Why don''t you change the way this time? "


    Hearing this, the king of Zhou had some careless expression, but with a bit of solemnity. Wei Ruxia didn''t answer directly. She just covered her mouth and said with a smile, "how about my mother''s little sister Ruyue


    Thinking of his sister-in-law, who was more beautiful and moving than Wei''s concubine, the king of Zhou hesitated for a moment, and then said with a smile, "my aunt is naturally picturesque and charming. Do you mean to let my aunt seduce Shen Ze?"


    Wei Ruxia frowned and sighed, "the Lord is not an outsider, so I don''t have to cover up in front of him. Now, with my mother''s reputation, I''m afraid I can''t find a good family. But I only have such a legitimate sister, I do not plan for her, who plans for her. Shen Tongling has been in a high position since she was young. She is a rare young talent. If she can marry Mr. Shen, she can help the Lord to win him over. Secondly, she can relieve the worries of my concubine. What do you think of him? "


    What can the king of Zhou say? Naturally, he only nods and agrees. There is no actual loss to him whether this thing can be accomplished or not. Although he was reluctant to part with his beautiful sister-in-law, he had to give up his love for the sake of great cause.


    As everyone knows, Wei side imperial concubine is to see the king of Zhou to his sister''s mind, just try every means to get her outside. This white eyed wolf, for the sake of her mother, took her from the Wei family to take good care of her. As a result, she found out that the slut was carrying her and Zhou Wang''s eyebrows. If it wasn''t for the prince''s accident at that time, they would find a reason to send her back. Maybe they would have done something ugly.


    Now that we have this opportunity, we can not only help the Lord win over Shen Ze, but also marry his younger sister to another place. Isn''t it killing two birds with one stone? She tried her best to win over the king of Zhou for so many years. How could she easily give this honor to others? Not even a sister!


    She didn''t know all about the secret calculation in King Zhou''s mansion. Even if she knew it, she would only laugh it off. On the one hand, she trusts Shen Ze''s character; on the other hand, she trusts each other''s eyes more. It''s just wishful thinking that the Wei sisters still want to seduce Shen Ze!

 Chapter 279

    This matter was soon known by Princess Zhou. After hesitating for a long time, Princess Zhou pressed it down and didn''t let anyone tell leisurely. It is said that Mrs. Shen is rich in fortune, but she wants to see how lucky her fellow countryman is.


    Now that he had made a plan for beauties, King Zhou soon sent someone to deal with it. Therefore, on the way home, Shen Ze meets Wei Ruyue, who is being "teased" by street ruffians. Wei side imperial concubine''s birthday is coming, Wei Ruyue today is on the street to pick a gift for her sister, only to coax her sister well, she has a chance to contact the king of Zhou, isn''t it?


    Just as soon as I got to Wenhua street, I was stopped by the people in front of me. But the coachman and his wife had just been sent away by her. She only had two servant girls with her. She was so scared when she met with this kind of thing that it was useless. When the passers-by saw this situation, they all dodged far away, but no one came forward to help.


    When Wei Ruyue was in a panic, she saw Shen Ze coming from a distance on a big horse. She seemed to have caught the straw and cried out, "help! Please help me. "


    Seeing this scene, Shen Ze frowned and said to Xu Guang, a soldier behind him, "go down and have a look."


    The street ruffians saw that the man was a general in the clothes of the imperial army. They did not dare to make any more mistakes. Before he came to him, they hurried away.


    After the street ruffian left, Wei Ruyue calmed down, saluted Xu Guang who came to him and said, "thank you for your help."


    Xu Guang is still so old. Within two days, the king of Zhou made an appointment with Shen Ze himself. Although Shen Ze doesn''t want to get involved with the king of Zhou too much, he can''t give each other too much face.


    Just didn''t expect the other party to say that the girl that day was actually the sister of Wei side imperial concubine in his family. Shen Ze said that something was not right that day. But he still listened to King Zhou''s nagging, until the other side said, "I heard that Lord Shen saved my aunt. I am very grateful to commander Shen. If it wasn''t for the difference between men and women, I would thank commander Shen personally today. Even Wang''s sister-in-law never forgets Shen Tongling. She said that she was willing to offer her life in return for her help. I don''t know how to do that. Lord Shen has a wife. The girl said that as long as she could marry a life-saving benefactor, she would be willing to be an ER Fang. My sister-in-law''s character and appearance are first-class and first-class. Being an adult''s second room is more than enough. I don''t know what Mr. Shen thinks? " After hearing this, Shen Ze put on a smile: "if I remember correctly, the princess of King Zhou is the eldest granddaughter of the censor Zhang from the second grade inspector Youdu. Why did the girl of the Wei family become the uncle''s sister-in-law? "


    This? When Zhou wangdun was embarrassed, he said something wrong because he always said something wrong. Now he said with a bitter smile, "slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue." Then she said with a smile, "although Miss Wei is only my sister, she is also miss Qian Jin of Wu''an Bofu. Isn''t this a disgrace to Lord Shen?"


    Shen Ze laughs: "the reputation of Wu''an Bofu, tut Tut, the girls in his family can''t afford it. But... "


    After listening to his words, the king of Zhou was a little embarrassed, but when he heard that there was still room in his words, he immediately asked, "but what?"


    But is Miss Wei really willing to marry the life-saving benefactor of that day? Not going back? Is this king has the final say?


    What is there to go back on? The king of Zhou replied quickly, "don''t worry, Mr. Shen. I''m still in charge of this little thing. When a hero saves a beauty, a beauty is willing to repay her benefactor with her body. Naturally, she will not repent


    Shen Ze said, "very good, Xu Guang. I''m not here to thank you for protecting the media!"


    Before he came here, Shen Ze agreed with these close subordinates that today''s business is mainly to tease the king of Zhou. Of course, if it goes well, maybe he will have a daughter-in-law. Therefore, after listening to Shen Ze''s words, he quickly came in and knelt down to the king of Zhou to thank him and said, "thank you for your success! I will treat Miss Wei well in the future and won''t let her be wronged! "


    The king of Zhou had some silly eyes: "well, what''s the matter?"


    Shen Ze said innocently, "didn''t wang ye say that Miss Wei was willing to marry the life-saving benefactor of that day? This is it. This is my personal soldier, Xu Guang, who has made some contributions in the past. He has the official position of Qipin dianyi. It''s rare that Wang Ye and the girls of the Wei family don''t dislike him. He''ll have a good life in the future. "


    Before he finished speaking, he saw the king of Zhou swing his sleeve and said, "well, you Shenze, you are really deceiving people too much!" With that, he walked away.


    Xu Guang went to Shen Ze and said, "general, will the king of Zhou not go back on his words this week?"


    Shen Ze walked out of the private room. The teahouse on Zhonggu street was always liked by the courtiers. The meeting between Shen Ze and the king of Zhou had long been in the eyes of those who wanted to see him. Thinking of this, he said with a loud smile, "what are you afraid of? King Zhou is a noble man in heaven. How can he turn back? Since he said that he would betroth the girl of the Wei family to you, he will not break his promise. I guess the Lord must be in a hurry to go back and tell the Wei family this good thing. It''s time to prepare a dowry for others, isn''t it? You boy, hurry to prepare some things these two days. I''ll accompany you to the Wei family to propose marriage on a good day. "


    Xu Guang, an old bachelor, had nothing to be shy about. He said, "I don''t understand this. I''ll ask my sister-in-law to help me make a list." Shen Zetou did not return his head. "It''s easy to say. I''ll tell her when I go back."


    After listening to Shen Ze''s report, Xu Guang, who was not very nice, asked, "this is not for fun. If someone really wants to propose a marriage, will it come true that Xu dianyi married the Wei girl?"

 Chapter 280

    Hearing leisurely''s question, Xu Guang scratched his head and said with a smile, "I know what my wife is worried about. Isn''t that Wei family''s reputation is not good? Maybe those scholarly families pay attention to this. I don''t care much about it. I''m not the same as the commander. He has a government to rely on. As for me, I''m really single. I have no parents or relatives, and I don''t have any great ability. The official of dianyi helped me plan for my loyalty. Like me, it''s good to have a daughter-in-law. What about her family? It''s just that there''s something wrong. I''ll take care of it after I get married. "


    This... Leisurely still a little uneasy, after all, none of the girls in the Wei family is a fuel-efficient lamp. Shen Ze comforted her and said with a smile, "don''t worry too much. It''s not certain that the Wei family will agree to this marriage. Even if you really agree, it''s not necessarily who will suffer. "


    When you think about it leisurely, Xu Guang''s situation makes outsiders say that it''s the fate of Tiansha lone star. It''s really not good to be a matchmaker. He''s also an official now. He won''t be a daughter-in-law even if he''s changed. Well, since he is willing, let him go. He doesn''t live with himself.


    Got Xu Guang''s advice, leisurely and quickly helped him prepare a very decent wedding ceremony.


    On this side, the king of Zhou deeply felt that his prince had been teased by a military officer. He couldn''t get over it. When he came back to the mansion, his face was still very gloomy. The servant girl offered tea. Without looking at it, he threw the cup to the ground and "get out." Seeing this, the servant girl quickly retreated.


    His close friend saw that the situation was not good, so he went to the backyard and told the Wei side imperial concubine. Wei side imperial concubine detailed asked the king of Zhou and Shen Tongling the content of the conversation, waiting to hear the other side said his mother''s family style is not good, is also angry. But she calmed down her anger and asked, "are you sure commander Shen said that the military officer under his command wants to marry the fourth lady?" The boy nodded his head busily.


    With a twinkle in her eyes, concubine Wei went to the dresser and began to make up again. She said, "since the prince is not feeling well, I''ll go to the kitchen and have a look. What kind of tonic is there?"


    The little servant girl took the order, and soon she brought a food box and said, "if you come back, the kitchen just stewed peanut, black chicken and ginseng soup, and the servant girl asked for one. There are also a few side dishes. " Then he opened the food box and showed it to Wei. It was crystal lotus root, cucumber water egg, celery and dried goose feet. They were all the favorite dishes of the king of Zhou.


    Wei side imperial concubine looked after satisfaction of nod, also conveniently took a silver ring from the dressing box to reward her, the little girl took the ring back with great joy. Wei side imperial concubine''s big servant girl side helps her comb hair side to sneer at a way "Niang Niang is really generous, see this small Ni son give happy!" Wei side imperial concubine again takes mirror to shine on oneself, side smile way "is just a silver ring, as long as the duty does well, is the gold ring gold bracelet I also am willing to give."


    The master and servant talked and laughed, but they didn''t notice the sneer on the lips of the little servant girl just now.


    Wei side imperial concubine dressed up, let people carry the food box, Shi Shi ran went to the king of Zhou''s study. Before she stepped into the study of the king of Zhou, the queen of Zhou got the news. Princess Zhou asked in a low voice, "has the food been delivered to Wei?" The servant girl beside her nodded, "it''s just a few ready-made dishes chosen by the little girl in the kitchen. No one can pick out the reason."


    Princess Zhou sneered, even if it was a mistake to pick what? She didn''t poison the food. It doesn''t matter if you eat it once or twice. It''s still a long time. Let''s boil the frog in warm water. Take your time! It''s quite an emperor. Dream about it!


    The king of Zhou, who was able to win over Wei''s concubine, favored her for several years in succession. Naturally, there was some means, and he soon made the king of Zhou smile. At this time, it was dark, and King Zhou was really hungry. Wei side imperial concubine saw the king of Zhou took a few eyes at the food box, and quickly took out the things one by one and put them in order, "the Lord is just angry, I''m afraid he didn''t eat anything? This is the peanut, black chicken and ginseng soup that I let the kitchen stew early in the morning. It''s the most nourishing, but please use it quickly. " Then he personally filled a bowl and handed it to the king of Zhou, with a pot of wine in the food box. Wei side imperial concubine had to accompany the king of Zhou to have a few drinks again. While the king of Zhou was drunk, she decided the matter between Wei Ruyue and Xu Guang. On the second day, it happened that it was the turn of King Zhou to serve emperor Longde in the palace. Although lundeti felt that he could not bear the responsibility, he was much kinder than before. In the evening, he stayed in the palace after dinner.


    When the king of Zhou came back to the palace, he heard that Wei''s concubine had gone to the princess, and he was still a little puzzled. He was afraid that the two people would make any more conflicts, so he went to Princess Zhou''s yard. Is to see is sitting in a tea talk Princess and Wei side princess are surprised, when the two people get along so well?


    Seeing that the king of Zhou came back, Princess Zhou sneered in her heart, but she looked gentle and virtuous. She stood up and saluted, "is the Lord back? Wang Ye, it''s hard to serve the disease. Please sit down and have a rest. "


    The king of Zhou sat down awkwardly and asked, "well, how did Wei come to the main courtyard today?"


    Princess Wei said with a smile, "I''ve come to thank my mother. My little sister''s marriage was settled yesterday. The princess has given me a lot of good things after she knew it. I''m here to thank you today."


    The king of Zhou was surprised. "Who do you say is engaged?"


    Wei side imperial concubine innocent smile way "my mother''s little sister is like the moon, that day she met the villain in the street, is not thanks to the Shen adult''s Xu dianyi rescue?"? In order to appreciate Xu dianyi''s kindness, the younger sister is willing to make a personal commitment. I told the Lord the night before yesterday! The Lord also said that he would add two dowries to his younger sister. "


    Is it? Zhou Wang shook his head. The night before yesterday, he drank some wine. He could not remember what he said. Wen Yan could only nod his head with a bitter smile. What a pity, such a beautiful woman! However, when the crown prince passed away, as a rule, people are not allowed to marry within a year. It''s not clear who the beauty will be? King Zhou rubbed his chin and laughed.


    The king of Zhou was still thinking about how nobody was doing, and someone''s eyes had been fixed on the important officials in the court.


    Since the prince left, the king of Liang has been thinking about how to recruit some of his capable officials as soon as possible. Shaozhan is Lin Enron. He was born in a poor family, but his sister married the princess''s family, and it was only when the prince was there. Now that the prince is dead, his balance should be more or less inclined to himself. There is no need to worry too much. Gu Jingke, the former crown prince''s Chamberlain and the left servant of the household department, immediately came into his sight. The Secretary of the Ministry of accounts is over 60 years old this year. I''m afraid he won''t be a leader in a few years. But Mr. Gu was deeply trusted by the crown prince in the past, and he can do something for himself. How to get in touch with him? Marriage is always the best way. It''s said that there is still a daughter in Mr. Gu''s family. But the four side imperial concubines in his mansion are full. What should we do?

 Chapter 281

    After thinking for a moment, the king of Liang rose to his feet. Those who achieve great things must have their own choices, and those who want to get something must give up some. It''s just a woman. How much will it take for him to get on that seat in the future?


    This day, leisurely is checking accounts at home, suddenly saw a servant girl in a hurry to come in, "grandma, no good, the people of King Liang''s house have come to report the funeral!"


    what?


    On hearing that, he was so surprised that he stood up and said, "mourning? Who''s gone? " The servant girl shook her head. She only saw that it was the steward of the palace who had come to send the funeral note. She didn''t have time to ask. Listen to this leisurely have not said what, willow leaf strides out from the inside, scold a way "you this wench, the hair is impetuous, pour is to inquire clear again reply!"


    Just at this time, Yang''s mother came. She said with a smile to leisurely, "grandma doesn''t have to worry. The princess and the prince are all right. Is Feng''s concubine gone?"


    Leisurely this just feels to mention a heart of throat eye to fall in the stomach in an instant, then just slowly sit down. The willow leaf asked in a low voice, "isn''t grandma surprised?" Leisurely shook his head, "fortunately, I don''t have heart disease and so on."


    Liu Ye pointed to the little servant girl and said, "who taught me this rule? It''s too rash. Who asked her to come to the inner courtyard? How dare she put it to the master? If there is really something important, we should go back slowly. It''s nothing to do with that. I''m so rash and yelling. If I''m surprised, who will be responsible? "


    At this time, AI Xiang pulled her sleeve and said in a low voice, "this girl''s name is Hong Shao. She is Shen''s niece in charge of the outer courtyard. She only does some rough work in the outer study. Those ladies and girls who are guarding the yard must not dare to offend Shen Guanshi, so they let her in. "


    If it''s someone else, this Shen steward is the son of the Shen family. He has been given the surname Shen since his father''s generation. Shen Guanshi has been serving Shen Ze''s father since he was a child. Later, master Shen unfortunately died early. Shen Guanshi has always been loyal to Shen Ze.


    It''s nothing to lose a red peony. She''s grandma''s dowry girl. Shen can''t take care of her. He''s afraid that he will turn his anger on grandma. Liu Ye hesitated for a moment. Just at this moment, a cool voice sounded from the room, "no matter who she is, we can''t break the rules of the house. If the master still depends on the slave''s face, what''s the point of my being a master? "


    Shen''s mind is also big. Last month, some accounts of the outer court were out of order. Leisurely thought that the steward was bad for a while and didn''t make a sound. Who knows, after this month''s account book was sent, she was directly angry and happy. Last month, she was 600, but this month, she was 800 Liang. Even if their family''s life is better now, they can''t let the servants be greedy for money.


    Leisurely finish the last account, give the account book to LiuYe to collect. Then he said, "I''m a side concubine of high rank. Now I don''t know what''s the situation. I''ll ask someone to prepare a car for some sacrifices. I''ll change my plain clothes and have a look. As for the red peony, everything is dealt with according to the rules. If there is any doubt, wait until I come back. "


    When we arrived at the palace of the king of Liang, the Lingtang had already been arranged, but the affairs of the side imperial concubine naturally didn''t pay so much attention. Leisurely offered a memorial ceremony, on the column after incense went to Shen Tian''s yard.


    Feng is just a side imperial concubine. Shen Tian doesn''t have to keep a vigil for her. She has been wearing plain clothes since the prince left. This time, it''s easy. Seeing leisurely, Shen Tian said, "you''re here. Please sit down."


    Leisurely see her face is not good, can''t help but comfort way "Niang Niang but manage Feng side imperial concubine''s afterlife tired, the face looks not good, but must take care of the body is."


    Shen Tian waved back the people around him, went to the window and sneered, "take care of yourself? Hum, if I didn''t have a family with outstanding achievements in war and a minister''s uncle in the cabinet, I''m afraid I would be lying in the coffin at this time. "


    Smell speech, leisurely Leng half a moment, startled way "can''t, Wang Ye really have so ruthless?" Shen Tian replied in a deep voice, "can I doubt him for no reason? It''s just that Feng''s body and bones are always healthy, and she often takes the second young lady to come here to say hello, which is always a little fragrant. I thought it was the women in the backyard who did it, but I didn''t expect to find out who was next to the prince. " Leisurely frown "can it be that the servants make their own decisions? Is it unreasonable for the Lord to do so? After all, it was the prince who brought it back. Isn''t it true that she has some feelings? "


    Shen Tian said, "hum, love? I''m afraid it''s the least rare thing in our family. There is no more attraction than power! Mr. Lin used to be a young man in Donggong, so you should know about him? "


    Nodding leisurely, "I''ve heard from my younger brother, isn''t Dong Gong Zhan Shi Gu Jingke, the left servant of the household department? What does this have to do with Feng''s death? "


    Shen Tian brushed the Gardenia by the windowsill. "If you want to win over the important ministers in the court, marriage is the best way. It''s a pity that my lord doesn''t have the support of his own sisters, and the foreigners can''t be on the stage. They can only use themselves as bait. Mr. Gu is a senior official of the second grade. His daughter can make do with it as a prince. No matter how low the rank is, I''m afraid I won''t agree to take care of my family. This is my daughter. "


    Just when he knew this, Shen Tian was surprised even if he didn''t give any hope to the character of King Liang. This person''s heart is fiercer than she imagined. No matter how bad feng''s family is, she was the one who once saved him with her life and gave him a daughter. As a result, in order to win over a minister in charge of the household department, the king of Liang took this cruel hand, which was really chilling.


    At the end of July, leisurely but suddenly feel a little cold. A moment later, he whispered, "before the prince''s bones are cold, the princes can''t sit down one by one." Then he told the king of Zhou what he had done recently, and then he said, "fortunately, Xianggong is a man who can hold on, and has never left a handle on this. That Wei Ruyue is not only the sister of the side concubine of the king of Zhou, but also the cousin of the Duke of Chu. If there''s any gossip, I''m afraid it''s not easy for the empress to explain in front of the Lord. "


    Shen Tian sneered, "it''s not hard to explain. As long as he still uses our Shen family, he won''t show any dissatisfaction."


    How to listen to this all feel some resentment, but this leisurely but don''t know how to answer, can only pretend not to hear it. Two people said something else, just a few county head came, then got up and went to the front.


    There are orders to mourn for Feng''s concubine constantly. Naturally, some valuable people want Shen Tian to go out to receive her in person. And the lower grade, by leisurely help to greet.


    As soon as I saw off the two Gaoming in front of the Chuihua gate, I saw a few soft sedans stop and some strange beauties with silver Phoenix hairpin come down. Because they were all dressed in plain clothes, leisurely did not recognize them for a moment.

 Chapter 282

    Still in the palace manager mother''s reminder, leisurely just know each other are Zhou palace and Wu palace several side imperial concubines, hurried forward to welcome in the past.


    The king of Wu is dead. Although emperor Longde didn''t ask for guilt, the power of the house of the king of Wu is not as powerful as before. Therefore, several side imperial concubines in his house are very low-key, see is three grades Gao life to meet, all the past of politeness. Only the last woman stopped, looked at leisurely with a smile and asked, "is this Mrs. Shen, the famous commander of the imperial army?"


    Leisurely looking at each other seems to look familiar, but I can''t remember for a while. However, looking at each other''s own appearance, I thought about each other''s identity after a while. There is only one of the princes'' concubines who has something to do with themselves. What''s going on? If you don''t plan to be your husband, do you want to trouble yourself? Now light response way "Wei side imperial concubine flattered, Chen Fu dare not when this praise!" A pair of sincere thanks look, it seems not aware of Wei Ruxia tone of irony.


    Wei side imperial concubine didn''t expect that the other side''s face was so thick. She also thought that Shen Ze refused her charming sister for the sake of this person, and even satirized her mother''s family tradition. At the moment, he sneered and said, "hum, no wonder I can climb from a little servant girl to the position of third grade Gao Ming! Mrs. Shen not only has a sharp mouth, but also has a good face. "


    Leisurely back to the way without showing weakness, "compared to the side of the imperial concubine empress in the Zhou palace is the imperial concubine of the limelight, Chen Fu this idea of the way to calculate what?"


    This directly ignited Wei Ruxia''s anger. She said in a angry voice, "I''m the daughter-in-law of the heavenly family. Can you be a minister''s wife who can arrange it at will?"


    Before the words were heard, a cold voice came from behind the crowd: "the daughter-in-law of the heavenly family? Why don''t I remember you in the royal family? " While talking, a young lady with eight tails of silver Phoenix hairpin had come over. It was Fang Xinsu who had just arrived here. According to the rule, the other party is just a side imperial concubine, originally does not need her to arrive personally. But there was no concubine in the palace of Qi, and the rank of several Tongfang was too low. Fang Xinsu also wanted to come by to see her cousin, so he personally mourned the arrival of concubine Feng. Did not think, just out of the sedan chair, see a long enchanting woman in the dilemma leisurely, can not help but speak.


    She went to Wei Ruxia and stood still. She sneered, "it''s just a side concubine, or a concubine. How dare you call yourself the daughter-in-law of the heavenly family? Who gave you such a big face? In your mansion, the prince is a generous man, and the princess is kind-hearted. It''s up to you to make a fuss in the mansion. But now you open your eyes and see that this is king Liang''s residence. How can you be so bold and unrestrained? "


    Wei Ruxia has always been used to running rampant in King Zhou''s mansion. Today, she can hardly come to such a public occasion. However, she spent a long time at home before she went out. Unexpectedly, she was ridiculed by Fang Xinsu because she didn''t get a good start. When did she suffer such grievances since she came to the palace of King Zhou? At the moment, I can''t help losing face, but I''m still trying to prepare to go inside to express my condolence.


    Just haven''t waited for her to walk a few steps, see Shen Tian''s side big servant girl green he came over. Qinghe first saluted all the people present. Fang turned to Wei Ruxia and said, "please stay here, Princess Wei. Our princess said that the palace of Liang is different from that of Zhou. It''s not a place where one can let a side room run wild. The empress of the princess was afraid that the empress of the Wei side would be so angry that she would damage the empress of the side in our house, so she didn''t invite the empress of the side to the backyard. When our family''s concubine Feng was alive, she was the most respectful and modest person to the imperial concubine Zheng. I don''t want to see such a demeanor of concubine Wei. I''m really sorry. Please go back to Wei With that, he made a gesture to ask out.


    This is a great shame for Wei Ruxia. She seems to feel that the Gaoming people around her are laughing at her. She turns around and walks out. She doesn''t even sit in the soft sedan chair of the palace. The servant girls and women who came with them left in a hurry.


    After she left, she dressed leisurely and said with a smile, "it''s just a little disturbance. You don''t have to worry about it. Please come in, Princess Rong and ladies."


    Then the people came into the mourning hall one after another to mourn. No matter how on the surface, in the heart but all to leisurely high looked a few eyes. In particular, those who had a chance were shocked by the other side''s faint words, but they really gained the reputation of King Zhou''s concubine destroying his wife. what? No, Hum, Mrs. Shen said that the other party was in the limelight of imperial concubine Zheng in the palace, but imperial concubine Wei didn''t deny it. She also threatened that she was "the daughter-in-law of the heavenly family". It''s hopelessly stupid! If the king of Zhou dotes on such a character, his own qualities need not be mentioned. It is also said that when Princess Wei came back to the palace, she had to cry to the king of Zhou. She thought that the king of Zhou would help her to regain some face, but unexpectedly, the king of Zhou was furious, "what did I say to you? You just make it public in the mansion, and outsiders can''t see it. As long as the princess doesn''t say, who can do that. But outside, you have to be decent. Now, you''re a princess. You run to the relatives of Prince Zhengfei and are driven out by Zhengfei. Do you want to be your master? I''ve become a laughing stock in Beijing! "


    After all, the king of Zhou could not bear to punish the person who had been in pain for many years when he saw Wei''s side princess crying like a pear blossom with rain. He just said, "Oh, I knew I had let Zhang go. Well, I have to go and talk to the princess in person. " After that, I will go out.


    Wei side imperial concubine pulls the king of Zhou''s sleeve suddenly "this matter why should tell the imperial concubine to know?" Subconsciously, she didn''t want Princess Zhou to see her jokes.


    The king of Zhou said angrily, "if I don''t tell you such a big thing, will the princess not know? What''s more, you can''t let the princess plead guilty and compensate for such a business in someone''s house, can you? Really, more and more not sensible! These days, you should stay in the house, and don''t go out to make trouble! " Finish saying to throw sleeve to walk, this time he walk of resolute, leave Wei Ru Xia to stay in situ, can''t help of bitterly cry out a voice.


    Not to mention how the king of Zhou begged the princess of Zhou to go to Shen Tian''s house to beg for mercy, he only said that he stayed at Liang''s house until it was dark before he said goodbye to Shen Tian and returned home.


    When she got home, Shen Ze was already at home, playing with Kangtai. Seeing her coming back, she put her second son in the cradle, stood up and said with a smile, "I''m back. I asked the chef to make your favorite steamed bass and Furong shrimp ball soup. Have some."

 Chapter 283

    Leisurely said with a smile, "at this time, can my mother still care about my dinner? Have you eaten yet? " Shen Ze nodded, "I''ve eaten all of them. The palace is so busy today. The food must not be very exquisite. You can have some more." Said, let the servant girl go to the kitchen to pass rice.


    When leisurely changed his clothes and came out, the food had been arranged. Leisurely sat down at the table with a smile and said, "I used to feel full. I can smell the fragrance. I''m really hungry." However, I dare not eat more at night. However, after drinking a bowl of soup and eating a few mouthfuls of fish, the maid ate the rest of the dishes.


    Seeing that she had finished eating, Shen Ze asked with a smile, "is it delicious?" Leisurely nodded, "delicious, this perch is fresh and tender than before, and its meat is tight. It doesn''t look like it''s from our village." Shen Ze replied, "you are tricky enough. It''s fished from the sea. It''s really better than the one raised in our Chuang Tzu. Someone else gave it to you. It''s enough for you to eat for two months. "


    Leisurely now has been used to such a "corrupt" life. I don''t think it''s strange. Instead, Shen Ze usually deals with some affairs in his study at this time. How can he sit here all the time? So she can''t help asking, "are you done with your business today? Why are you so leisurely? "


    Shen Ze took her hand and kneaded it twice. "What''s the matter? Do you want to drive me away?" Leisurely smile hammer him, "pure nonsense, clearly know I don''t mean that." Shen Ze teased her with a smile, "what does that lady mean, eh?" Leisurely annoyed and shamed, he turned back and took a look at her.


    All of a sudden, Shen Ze said a word, almost did not startle someone''s chin, she thought she heard wrong, can''t help but ask again "Xianggong, what do you say?"


    Shen Ze looked into her eyes and said, "I said, I have released the title deed of housekeeper Shen''s family and let them go out of the house?"


    Leisurely was surprised. Although she wanted to give Shen Guanshi some hardship, she never wanted to drive them out. At the moment, he said, "although Shen Guanshi is not quite right recently, he is an old man in the family after all. He has the face of his parents and grandparents for several generations. According to me, just do some punishment. How can he get rid of him like this? Their family has been in our family for many years, and they have no credit or hard work. How can they work when they suddenly leave the government? "


    Shen Ze touched her head and said, "you are too soft hearted. Why don''t you tell me if you''ve seen his faults for a long time? Don''t you think I can make you face for a servant? If you think about him like this, people won''t take you in Think of that red peony several times dressed up enchanting demon Rao Rao appear in front of him, Shen Ze do not believe her uncle as the head of the family will not know this matter, afraid is not only know, but also not less in the future. Also, when he met Wei Ruyue, who leaked his itinerary?


    I don''t know. It turns out that Shen Da is no longer the loyal and conscientious Shen Bo. Shen Ze sighed and said to leisurely, "I''ve finished taking care of their family, so you don''t have to worry about it. In the future, the servants of the Shen family, whether they are old or new, just clean up if they dare to be disrespectful to you. Servants, no matter how much love he has in his life, should not try to fool his master. If you make the master unhappy because of your own selfish desire, it''s a matter of great treason. There''s no love to talk about. " After a pause, he said, "you are my wife. No matter what time, I will not doubt you or deny you for the sake of a servant or an outsider, you know? So you don''t have to be so careful with your servants in the future. " Leisurely moved, I can''t help but smile and ask, "then you are not afraid of what I will do to your disadvantage?"


    Shen Ze looked into her eyes and said with a smile, "I know you won''t." This words from Shen Ze''s mouth appears to be light, but let leisurely heart warm sweet. Between husband and wife, nothing is more important than the husband''s total trust. This man may not be the most handsome, powerful and powerful in the world, but he is the one who knows her best in this time and space.


    With this person, she will have the courage to face all the malice in the world.


    Although Princess Zhou is disgusted with what Wei did, it''s not the time to turn against the king of Zhou. So she has to offer a heavy gift the next day and go to the palace of King Liang to make amends to Shen Tian. "It''s all my fault that I have no way to discipline. Let the side room of the house make such a big laugh here. Don''t be angry." Shen Tian said with a light smile, "sister-in-law, you''re welcome. What''s our status and what''s the Wei family''s status? She''s also worthy of our energy and energy to get angry with her? As far as the concubines in our house are concerned, no matter what her family background is, they have to be obedient in front of me. If there''s anything wrong, I don''t want to talk to them. What''s the mother''s job in the house office? No matter side imperial concubine or Tong Fang, just give it to them. In less than two months, the side rooms of the fourth sister-in-law''s house are all respectful and obedient. " With that, his eyes seemed to sweep past Xiang Wenlan, who was sitting at the next head. Xiang Wenlan thought of the miserable training days, shivered and quickly lowered his head.


    Looking at this scene, the princess of Zhou was not envious. If she had such a strong and intimate family, she would not allow the Wei family to dominate the house. Although there were reasons for her deliberate connivance, those wrongs and insults she had really suffered, even with one of her own children.


    Gently shaking her head, Princess Zhou said with a smile, "I''m not the same as my sister-in-law, our prince and my fifth brother are not the same. It''s false to say that I don''t admire my younger brother and sister, but I''m just... Not to mention this. By the way, it''s said that the concubine of Wei side was not inferior to Mrs. Shen yesterday? I always have to face Mrs. Shen. I don''t know if Mrs. Shen will come today? "


    Shen Tian smiles and shakes his head. "She worked here all day yesterday. When she left, I told her that I would not let her come here. There are so many servant girls in this house. Besides, there are many things in her family."


    Hearing this, Princess Zhou stood up and said, "in this case, I have to go to Shen Fu''s house in person to apologize to Shen Fu."


    Shen Tian said, "her house is in the north. It''s far away. Just send a servant girl. She won''t pick on you."

 Chapter 284

    With a faint smile, Princess Zhou said in a soft voice, "I don''t have to cover up in front of my sister-in-law. I can''t be at leisure when I go back to that house. It''s better to relax by this way. Now that I''m here, I''m going to offer a fragrance to Feng. "


    After hearing this, Shen Tian nodded, "well, then I will not leave my sister-in-law."


    Leisurely didn''t expect that Princess Zhou would come to her home in person. When the maid reported back, she had already got off the car outside the door. Leisurely quickly put on the clothes and face of the guests, and hurriedly went out. Fortunately, Princess Zhou walked slowly. When she came to the second door, the other party only arrived here. Leisurely hastened to salute and said, "I don''t know if the princess will come here. I''m sorry to meet you at a distance."


    Princess Zhou personally helped leisurely up. "Mrs. Shen is polite. I''m rude. Mrs. Shen doesn''t blame me for my fault."


    Even if it is in the heart of abdominal Fei, leisurely face is also with a smile, the answer is "how can it, the princess is willing to come, is to let our family shine things, I can''t wait for her to come every day."


    Princess Zhou covered her mouth with a smile. Her fellow countryman was really flattering.


    While talking, they came to the flower hall. Leisurely invited Princess Zhou to sit at the top of the table. She sat down for the second time. The servant girl held the cup and said with a smile, "I don''t know what kind of tea the empress likes. This is the West Lake Longjing that she just got this year. It''s OK. Can you have a taste?"


    Princess Zhou took a sip and said with a smile, "if this tea is OK, I don''t know what it is that I usually drink?"


    Leisurely there is a moment of stupefaction, what does that mean? Is it true that my husband is too greedy and the tea is better than that of the palace? Then some embarrassed smile way "Niang Niang is polite, this tea is also entrusted Rong princess''s blessing, Chen Fu can be lucky to get a can." In fact, this tea was brought back when Enron went south, but leisurely and witty people didn''t mention it. Princess, I''ll use your reputation this time. Don''t be angry.


    Fang Xinsu, who is reading in his study, suddenly sneezes and startles the servant girl. The screen thought that she had caught cold, so she quickly picked up a gauze cape and put it around her. "It''s going to be August, and the weather has begun to get cold. I have to take care of myself."


    After listening to leisurely''s explanation, Princess Zhou knew that although she was a little respectable in front of the queen, she could not be compared with Princess Rong as the Queen''s adopted daughter in terms of the degree of favor. If you have it yourself, the other party must have it; What you don''t have, the other party may have. What do you ask? People want wind and rain after crossing. But she is so miserable. While thinking about Princess Zhou''s eyes, I can''t help but linger on leisurely. Even my fellow countryman''s life is better than mine. If let her choose, she would rather choose the inspirational journey from sparrow to Phoenix than the present life.


    Leisurely see each other a strong look at themselves, can''t help some wonder, is the other side is for Wei side imperial concubine to find the field, at this time is thinking about from his body which start? It shouldn''t be, isn''t it said that this imperial concubine and concubine are always wrong?


    Then, leisurely pulled a smiling face and asked, "I don''t know what''s on my wife? How can you look at me like this


    Princess Zhou regained her mind and said with a smile, "it''s nothing. I''m thinking about how to talk to Mrs. Shen about this. I''ve heard about yesterday''s incident. No matter what, it''s my inability to run the family that makes the concubine in the mansion so disrespectful to his wife. " Then, with a wave of her hand, a few servant girls came forward with four kinds of trays, all of which were made of silk, jewelry and so on.


    Pointing to those things, Princess Zhou said with a smile, "it''s not a good thing. Don''t give up Mrs. Shen. It''s better to keep it for people''s enjoyment."


    Leisurely hurriedly back to the way "Niang Niang polite, yesterday that matter is not Niang Niang''s command, and you have nothing to do with it? I still know the truth of this idea. How can I be implicated in the empress? She''d better take it back. "


    The smile on Princess Zhou''s face was sincere. "You don''t blame it, but it''s something outside your body. If you don''t accept it, you just accept it, or you blame me." See the other party so insist, leisurely had to "reluctantly" accept these things.


    Then I saw that the sky was approaching noon, and it would take more than an hour for the other party to come from the palace. This time, it''s not good for people to rush back against the big sun, right? So she said with a smile, "now it''s almost time for lunch. If you don''t want to give up, why don''t you stay for lunch?" Although she asked, she didn''t expect the other party to agree. Because in her impression, no matter before and after her marriage, Princess Zhou should be a particular kind of person, not necessarily look up to her family''s food. Leisurely is even ready to see off.


    But as soon as her voice fell, the other party nodded with a smile and said, "since Mrs. Shen is so polite, then I''ll bother you." Leisurely wants to caress my forehead very much. Since you all know that I''m being polite, how can you take it seriously?


    Though I could not help but make complaints about it, I smiled and told the kitchen to prepare for the first-class noodles.


    They were bored sitting in the hall. They stood up and said with a smile, "I don''t know if the princess is interested in going to the garden behind to have a look?"


    Princess Zhou looks at the big sun outside and hesitates. Her skin is very sensitive. When she goes out at this time, will she get sunburned?


    Leisurely aware of her melancholy, she said with a smile, "if the empress is afraid of the sun, then we only walk from the corridor. There is just a corridor leading to the flower house at home, and we can''t get the sun."


    Hearing this, Princess Zhou said with a smile, "that''s a good feeling. I''ve long heard that Mrs. Shen is a good flower grower, and I''ve seen the flowers raised by Mrs. Shen. Whether it''s orchids or camellia, it seems that they come out of the lady''s hands and are very lively. "


    Leisurely smile way "Niang Niang falsely praises, but is idle time to have nothing to do with a few, pass some time just, Niang Niang this side please."


    As they talked, they walked back to enjoy the scenery in the garden. Princess Zhou nodded as she looked at it, and then said, "I''m afraid that the scenery in this garden can''t do without my wife''s hand?"


    Leisurely smile "this house is the ancestral home of my husband''s family. After I got married, I didn''t move much. I just made some modifications and decorations in some small places. The place is a little smaller, which is not as grand as the palace. "


    Princess Zhou shook her head with a smile. "No matter how big and gorgeous the palace is, it''s just a shady place. How can it compare with the warmth of the lady''s family?"


    Leisurely always felt that there was something wrong with this. For a while and a half, she didn''t remember it. She just laughed it off and led Princess Zhou to go on.

 Chapter 285

    When Princess Zhou went into the greenhouse, she felt a lot cooler. The sun was burning outside, but it was cool inside. She praised "it''s so cool here." Leisurely smile "most of the flowers here don''t like light very much, so every summer, I ask people to use reed curtains to cover the four sides. Only in the morning and evening when the sun is not poisonous, I put away the curtains and let the sun in."


    Hearing this, Princess Zhou looked around and saw that the glass roof and the windows were covered with fine reed curtains. She said with a smile, "Lady Shen is really smart, and the flowers are really watery. No wonder your mother wants to ask you to help her see the flowers." With that, he looked at the basin after basin carefully, and then looked at the basin and praised the basin. Rao leisurely always felt that his face was thick enough, and it was not as hot as her. Finally, leisurely really didn''t know how to take over, so he had to smile and say, "the empress is over praised. She looks like a flower lover. If you don''t dislike it, choose some pots that suit your heart and take them with you when you leave."


    This can be regarded as the heart of Princess Zhou. She nodded busily and said, "since Mrs. Shen has said that, I won''t be polite to you. I don''t want much. I want this basin of luohanzhi and this basin of wensong. " They are not rare flowers, so leisurely they smile.


    At the same time, Su he came back and said that the lunch had been arranged. Leisurely, he said, "the lunch is ready. Please come to the table." Princess Zhou also saw almost, followed leisurely went to the flower hall.


    Leisurely, you won''t treat yourself badly in food. The food in your family is always fresh and rich. In addition, the princess Fang Xinsu often comes to dinner. Therefore, the people in the kitchen are just a little surprised to hear that it''s a banquet for Princess Zhou, and they make a big meal out of their neat politics.


    When Princess Zhou took her seat, her maid came with a basin to clean her hands. The water looked clear and there was nothing special about it. After washing her hands, Princess Zhou smelled a faint smell of flowers. She put her finger on the tip of her nose and sniffed, "what a sweet smell. Is this water soaked with rose petals?"


    "It doesn''t taste so strong with petals. There are a few drops of rose dew in the water." Leisurely replied with a smile.


    After hearing this, Princess Zhou laughed and sipped the tea cup in front of her to hide her complicated heart. Why do people dress as servant girls, and they can get along so well step by step, but they are so miserable. Even in order to kill his son, the enemy ran everywhere to make amends. Princess Zhou instantly felt that she was too miserable.


    Seeing that the other party was suddenly in a low mood, leisurely didn''t know which sentence he said was wrong. Then he pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "it''s all home-made dishes. Don''t dislike them. Just make do with them."


    By this time, Princess Zhou had come back to her senses, and her face was covered with a faint smile again. "Mrs. Shen said this politely. The aroma of these dishes has spread to the outside, and it looks good. It must be full of color, aroma and flavor."


    While speaking, leisurely has personally filled a bowl of sour bamboo shoot chicken skin Soup for her, "this soup is the most appetizing and nourishing, and I''ll try it." Princess Zhou took two mouthfuls and praised, "people in our family often make this soup. I used to taste it well. Today I drank this from your family, but I can''t drink that when I go back." Leisurely after her training, the cook at home is quite outstanding. At least Princess Zhou was very happy to eat. The idea just now was melancholy and depressed, and she was thrown aside.


    After dinner, Princess Zhou quietly touched her round stomach and said with a smile, "no wonder I hear that Princess Rong often comes to your house for dinner. It''s really full of color, fragrance and fragrance. If it''s me, I''d like to come every day."


    Leisurely smile humility once, two people said some other interesting words. Leisurely does not know that the other side is also through, only feel that the other side''s temper and temperament and his special congenial, but it''s a pity, now in such a situation, the two people are doomed not to be too close.


    Just then, Su he came in with the screen. Leisurely see her, even busy asked "how do you come this hour, such a big sun, but what''s the emergency?"


    Screen came in in a hurry, only to hear Su he said leisurely in hospitality, but did not expect that the guest would be princess Zhou. She also just slightly Leng for a while, return a way "pour also have no urgent matter, is the jade Tan elder sister that this mansion marries out, this meeting son is in difficult labor.". Our princess knows that she and her wife have different feelings, so she specially asked me to tell her Leisurely frowned, "I remember she was born at the end of August, right? Why is that a month earlier? "


    Jade Tan see an outsider present, hesitated, "she accidentally fell, so it was premature?"


    Wrestling? On hearing this, leisurely knew there was something strange in it, so he sent LiuYe to "tell my cousin about it, let her carry the medicine box and prepare it, and then slowly tell mother Wang, don''t frighten her." Willow leaves busy promised to go.


    Seeing that she had something to deal with, Princess Zhou stood up and said with a smile, "I''ve been bothering my wife for a long time. I should go too."


    Leisurely also did not leave empty "today is really not a good reception, wait for the next opportunity, and then a good dinner for his wife." Princess Zhou said with a smile, "you''re welcome, madam." The flowers and plants in her picture, leisurely, had been moved to the carriage by her mother-in-law for a long time. This will take her directly to the door.


    As soon as Princess Zhou''s carriage left, she could not change her clothes any more. She went straight to her own carriage. Huaping was waiting in the carriage. Yulian and mother Wang took another carriage. Mother Wang is such an old man, what else do you don''t understand? Although LiuYe is very tactful, she also knows that Yutan must be very bad this time. Otherwise, Fang Xinsu can''t send someone to tell her. When Yulian sees her sadness, she can only comfort her. Seeing that mother Wang was still wiping her tears, she said, "I know that mother loves her daughter, but it''s not time to cry. Now it''s time for my mother to do justice in the past. My mother should wipe her tears, straighten her chest, and go to see what''s going on. If yu Tan is really wronged in the Zheng family, we must ask for an explanation. "


    Mother Wang wiped her tears and said, "I don''t know what happened to the child. Having a baby is just like turning around in front of the gate of death, and then encountering premature birth. I don''t know what happened to it." LiuYe didn''t dare to tell her about Yutan wrestling, for fear that she couldn''t support it.


    Jade lotus comforts a way "mother don''t have to worry too much, jade Tan is a second child, how also than the first child smoothly, besides her body has always been healthy, will be OK."

 Chapter 286

    On the front of the car, he sat down and asked, "what''s the matter? Although Yutan is pregnant, when she came here a while ago, I looked very sharp. How could she fall suddenly? "


    The screen bit its lip and said, "it''s not our Lord! After the death of the crown prince, it is natural that there will be no music in the house of a prince within a year. Our Lord dismissed all the ordinary actors in the house, but he didn''t know what kind of style he took. He picked out some of the longest ones and gave them to the guards around him. Yutan''s husband also got one, which is called Hongling. Our empress can''t manage it. We can only let him go. "


    Leisurely gently stroked his forehead and asked, "didn''t Zheng Xun refuse?" "Men, they are not all ordinary virtues! Who is not happy with such a good thing? Who is willing to refuse? " As soon as the voice fell, some of them said, "naturally, their conduct can''t be compared with that of commander Shen. Not everyone can turn a blind eye to beauty."


    Leisurely then asked, "Yutan is not in the heart of no calculation, even if Zheng Xun took a concubine, but she has a son, in the Zheng family for several years, can even a concubine can''t hold?"


    The screen sighed, "which man is not fond of the new and tired of the old? No matter how good Yutan is, he can''t win the hearts of those actors. Naturally, Zheng Xun is more partial to the new favorite. Jade Tan himself big belly, don''t want at this time for some trivial things moved fetal gas, so everything is more tolerant. This is not, the heart of that person is used to big, this meeting son is not satisfied with being an aunt, just want to be a grandmother. Today, he even pushed Yutan to the palace. If it wasn''t for the clever servant girl beside Yutan, who knew that she had run to the palace to ask for help, this meeting would not be so good. "


    "Zheng Xun was a good one in the past, but he was also his favorite jade sandalwood. He had been married for only a few years, so he liked the new and disliked the old. It''s really hateful!"


    "Alas." The screen sighed, and then said slowly, "in fact, I saw that Zheng Xun was good at treating jade sandalwood before, and he didn''t have any fancy. It''s just that our Lord has come here. He didn''t want to do anything, and he can''t control such a goblin for long every day. "


    The world wind is so, leisurely also unable to change, can only be in the heart silently pray for jade sandalwood.


    The carriage sped all the way and soon came to Zheng''s house. This house is built in the back street of Prince Rong''s house. Most of the people who live in it are the soldiers in charge of the house. Just now Fang Xinsu''s car has shocked many people. It''s said that Granny Zheng gave birth prematurely. All the neighbors who are familiar with each other have sent their wives to visit her. I didn''t expect that when I got into Zheng''s house, I saw Hongling, who was blocked and tied up. She was pressed to the ground by two women. At first, she wanted to struggle and resist. Huizi had been honest and knelt on the ground with her head down. Seeing this scene, all the women''s families are satisfied. Most of them also have such actors in their families. They have no peace in their homes, but they dare not tell their grievances because they are rewarded by the king. The meeting saw the end of the play and wanted to replace the one in front of him with the one in his own home. Everyone wanted to see how to deal with it in the end. Although they didn''t dare to enter it, they were all around the house and didn''t want to leave.


    The blood in the delivery room was brought out basin after basin, but the baby was still not born. It''s almost two hours later. If it''s delayed, adults and children will be in danger. Both of them are tired and sweating, but the children can''t get down. Jade sandalwood has been tired all over the body to take off the force, if it is not the mouth with fangxinsu let people send in the ginseng piece, afraid it would have been unable to support.


    There are people who are good friends with Yutan and Hongling. There was a little actor who used to sing with her in the house next door. Seeing her tragedy, he went to tell Zheng Xun. Hearing that his concubine was tied up by the princess, Zheng Xun couldn''t take care of being on duty, so he rushed home.


    Zheng Xun came home and saw that Hongling was all tied up, kneeling on the ground, and her hair was unkempt. He was very sad and said, "what''s the matter? Who tied you up? " Hongling''s mouth was still blocked. She couldn''t speak. She could only look at Zheng Xun with her big eyes, which made Zheng Xun''s heart melt. He quickly reached out and took off the cloth in Hongling''s mouth. "It''s so cold on the ground. Get up and talk first." Then he would pull Hongling up from the ground. Unexpectedly, his action was stopped by two women on the side. "Zheng Xiaowei, wait a minute. This man was asked to kneel by the princess. If the princess didn''t speak, she had to kneel here."


    Even though Zheng Xun didn''t know these two people, he knew that they were the second-class women in the mansion by looking at each other''s clothes. He just hugged his fist and asked, "I don''t know what big mistake my concubine has made. How can I make the princess so angry?"


    One of the women pointed to the main room and said, "the lady is in the room. Why don''t Zheng Xiaowei ask herself?"


    After hearing this, Zheng Xun hurried to the front of the house. A servant girl took a cushion and put it in front of the house. She said, "since you don''t understand, you should kneel here first. This meeting son jade Tan elder sister is in difficult labor, Niang Niang has no mind to grind Ji with you Although Zheng Xun was angry, he didn''t dare to brush Fang Xinsu''s face, so he had to kneel down on the mat. As for the words of dystocia in that maid''s mouth, I don''t know whether I didn''t hear them or selectively forgot them.


    Until after a while, a baby''s cry sounded, Zheng xuncai thought of it later, "but my mother, she gave birth? It''s just that the day hasn''t come yet. " The maid''s body turned back when she was going to the delivery room. "Oh, I thought Lord Zheng had only his concubine in his heart. Why did you come back so long to think of his wife? Do you know that elder sister Yutan''s day has not come? If you don''t know what to do, can you condescend to come to your house? Do you think our empress is free to run your family to help you? Hum


    At this time, Fang Xinsu''s maid coral came out of the inner room and said, "OK, Biju, isn''t Niang Niang asking you to see granny Zheng? What are you talking about here? Why don''t you go and see what happened to granny Zheng and her children? " The servant girl just ran away, and soon came back and said, "if you go back to my sister, Granny Zheng and the children are OK. Granny Zheng is a little tired and has gone to sleep. Although the child was born prematurely, her body is a little thin, but it''s OK. Granny Wen said that it would be good to have a good baby for a few months."


    Coral nodded her head with a smile. "You said it for a long time, but you didn''t say it was a boy or a girl?"

 Chapter 287

    Biju spat out her tongue and said with a smile, "I almost forgot. It''s a boy."


    Zheng Xun, kneeling on one side, was very glad to hear this. Although he already had a son, who would think that there were too many sons? This meeting son, he just remembered, how didn''t see own eldest son, that kid also don''t know to run where?


    Thinking of this, he raised his head and asked awkwardly, "dare to ask coral girl, have you ever seen my big boy?"


    Smell speech, coral sneer at him, "hard for adult Zheng still remember he had a eldest son, your own son don''t know, how do I know?" With that, he swung his sleeve and went into the room.


    Zheng Xun had a hang up, and his face was also a little chatty. He was worried about his newborn son and Hongling kneeling in the yard. When he was at a loss, he heard a commotion coming from the yard. Then Shen Tongling''s wife came in with a group of servant girls, and there was a young woman supporting Yutan''s ganniang mother Wang. Seeing Yu Tan''s mother''s family, Zheng Xun felt a little chatty in his heart.


    Leisurely glanced at the woman kneeling in the yard and asked in a cold voice, "is this the Hongling girl?" Two women standing on one side nodded quickly. I don''t know if I''ve been fighting with the word "red" recently. A few days ago, I had a red peony at home. Yutan met another red Ling.


    Amber heard the movement has met out, leisurely quickly asked "how?" Amber said with a smile, "we have given birth. Mother and son are safe." Leisurely asked "where is the empress?" Amber pointed to the main room, so leisurely then first took mother Wang and Yulian to see Fang Xinsu. When they passed by Zheng Xun, they all got around him without saying a word.


    Fang Xinsu met them and said with a smile, "you are here. Fortunately, Yutan is very lucky. If there is a chance, I will have no face to see you again."


    Leisurely back way "this time thanks to the princess to help take care of, excuse me."


    Just then, mother Wang knelt down and said, "thank you very much. If it wasn''t for your help, my daughter wouldn''t know what to do."


    Fang Xinsu quickly asked the servant girl to help her up. "It''s just a matter of lifting one''s hand. Mother Wang is polite. I told him about Yutan''s marriage. If she has something wrong, I feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, it''s safe. Well, I know that my mother must be very concerned. Let''s go and have a look first. "


    So, the jade lotus then helped mother Wang to go to the delivery room there, leisurely also went to see once. The room is tidy, but the two women who are taking care of Yutan are servants of the palace. In the heart a sigh, jade Tan''s family usually also just have a stove of old woman son, a small servant girl and a small Si. Mother Wang stayed here for a few months to help her last confinement. This time, even if she lived here, she was afraid that she was not happy. Thinking of Zheng Xun outside, leisurely felt disgusted.


    Wang''s mother saw her daughter''s pale face and her little grandson''s thin and small appearance. She cried like a kitten, and her heart was extremely distressed. Or jade lotus detailed to mother and son after pulse, said "mother don''t worry, jade Tan this body is not serious, just some take off force, sleep a good.". If my mother is worried, she will make more nourishing soup for her to drink, but it will be raised in two or three months. There is no need to worry about this child. All the children who have been raised for more than seven months are still fat and white. This child is nine months old, but he looks thinner and has a strong pulse. He only raises them carefully. "


    After hearing this, I saw that mother and son really didn''t get in the way, so mother Wang gradually stopped crying. Leisurely advised, "Mom, don''t be sad, now is not the time to be sad. I''m going to have someone go back and get some tonic. What do you want to bring? "


    Mother Wang quickly said, "I sleep in the box at the head of the bed in that room. There is a pine green package. Let them bring it to me. I don''t worry about the appearance of jade sandalwood. I have to take care of it myself. " He nodded leisurely, "OK, I see." After that, he came out and told the old woman to come with the car. Besides what mother Wang said, she also asked the old woman to bring some good donkey hide gelatin, red ginseng and other nourishing things, and also asked her to bring some black chickens and black fish from Chuang Tzu.


    After everything was arranged properly, leisurely he went back to the front door of the main room and asked Zheng Xun who was kneeling on the ground, "it''s your business that you are willing to favor your concubine, and I can''t talk more about it. But now, because your favorite concubine killed his wife, he almost killed Yutan. Should you give Yutan an account to mother Wang? "


    Unexpectedly, Zheng Xun said, "well, I''ve been punished to kneel by the princess since I came back from outside. I don''t know how to explain this to Mrs. Shen? What''s more, it''s our family business after all. Even if Mrs. Shen is the old master of her wife, it''s not easy to get involved in other people''s family affairs, is it? "


    Leisurely did not expect that this man should be so reckless, and he was in a hurry. Just at this time, a voice sounded from behind, "it''s not easy for Mrs. Shen to intervene in this matter, but the princess can make the decision." It turned out that Fang Xinsu came out of the room.


    Zheng Xun met Fang Xinsu and said in a low voice, "well, Hongling is the concubine given by the king. Even if she has a mistake, she has been kneeling in the yard for a long time, which can be regarded as atonement. Please forgive her this time in the presence of the Lord. "


    Fang Xinsu said with a sneer, "what''s your face? This princess is too to give Qi Heng face, just Zong of you one by one of the audacity. You remember that Hongling was awarded by the prince. Why don''t you remember that Yutan is the matchmaker for the princess to protect herself? Yutan has been considerate to you since she got married. She gave birth to your son and daughter and gave you a housekeeper. As a result, is that how you repay her? For a playwright who almost killed her and your son, to fight against the princess? If you can''t treat her well, I''d rather make amends with Mrs. Shen and let her go back to her mother''s house, than let you and my concubine punish her! As for the one who dares to murder his mother... "


    Hongling was afraid of Xin Su''s cold eyes. She quickly took off the cloth in her mouth and yelled, "help me, help me. I don''t mean to harm grandma." A moment later, she was held down by her mother-in-law and blocked her mouth again.


    Zheng Xunzheng was so distressed that Fang Xinsu said, "grandma Zheng has just given birth to a child. It''s hard to see blood in the yard. Come on, take Hongling outside, put on 20 boards, and throw it to luanhenggang. "


    Hearing this, Zheng Xun stood up and said, "princess, why? Now it''s not clear who''s right and who''s wrong. Even if it''s really Hongling''s fault, she''s no longer a servant of the royal family. Is it too overbearing for her to do so? "

 Chapter 288

    Fang Xinsu looked at Zheng Xun with a smile but not a smile. "Zheng Xiaowei''s words were right. If the princess did this, she would be a bit overbearing." Hearing this, Zheng Xun was very happy. He thought that the princess didn''t want to bear the reputation of tyranny. He thought that there was still room for things to turn around.


    Did not expect Fang Xinsu is then said, "but the princess today also want to bully once, so what?" With a wave of his right hand, the two women who just pressed Hongling took her out.


    Zheng Xun is surprised and wants to stop him. He is stopped by Fang Xinsu''s bodyguard. Zheng Xun turns his head and shouts to her, "Yutan mother and son are OK now. Hongling is not guilty even if she is wrong. The empress of the princess, for the sake of some old grudges, has been reckless and reckless in her life. This is also a deception Zheng Xun''s old grudge here refers to that Hongling had an affair with Qi Heng before him. He thought Fang Xinsu wanted to kill Hongling because of this.


    Fang Xinsu didn''t want to talk to him, but leisurely didn''t want to let Fang Xinsu be criticized for this. Now he said coldly, "Mr. Zheng, this is wrong. When did the empress say that she wanted Hongling to die, she just wanted to reward her. Life or death depends on her own nature. "


    Zheng Xun said with a sneer, "what Mrs. Shen said is light. She is a weak girl. How can she survive if she goes down twenty boards? No wonder the princess is so immoral that she will offend the prince. "


    I got a mark on my face before I lost my voice.


    Leisurely at the moment only feel angry, this slap is used up the whole body strength. This insult to Xin Su made her feel worse than scolding her directly. If it hadn''t been for the great effort, she would have given her a few more rewards. She took a deep breath, pointed to Zheng Xun''s nose and said, "what are you? How dare you criticize the princess of Rongjun and the princess of Le''an? Is it really audacious? Do you have any superiors and inferiors in your eyes? Your wife just gave birth to your second son. You don''t want to see her, but only think about your concubine! What a cold heart! I was really blind at the beginning. I betrothed jade sandalwood to you. You are not as good as a pig or a dog! "


    Just then, Chen Hui, the chief historian of the palace, came. Zheng Xun was very happy to see this man. He thought that Chen Hui was sent by the Lord to help him. He quickly called out, "Chen Changshi is here. Please do justice to him." Who knows, Chen Hui just took a cold look at him, then went straight to Fang Xinsu, bowed and said, "Wang ye heard that there was something wrong here, so he specially asked the lower officer to come and have a look. The Lord has said that the empress should just be at ease and be happy. I only hope that she will not be ruined for the sake of a few incompetent slaves. "


    Fang Xinsu gave him a sidelong look. "It''s funny. Can''t he dare to deal with it if he doesn''t say I''m the princess? If he hadn''t been out of tune, how could there have been such a mess today? " Chen Hui didn''t dare to take over, just a modest smile.


    Fang Xinsu went up to Zheng Xun and said, "I didn''t expect that Mr. Zheng was really affectionate and righteous. He fought against the princess for an actor. But you keep saying that Hongling is your person. Have you forgotten that although the Lord has given her to you, her deed of identity is still in the palace, and to be exact, it''s still here. I''m going to be blamed by you for dealing with my maidservant? "


    After saying this, she asked Chen Hui coldly, "Chen Changshi, you can see that Zheng Xiaowei is very dissatisfied with the princess. He also said that the princess is not virtuous and should not be spoiled by the prince. Can he blame her for her actions?"


    Chen Changshi quickly bowed himself and said, "naturally, I can''t. I don''t know what the empress wants to do with Zheng Xun?"


    Fang Xin Su sneered at the way, "he is the heart of Wang Ye, and this princess is not to be spoiled. How dare he deal with Wang''s confidant? Chen Chang is a long historian of the Royal Palace, and he has the final say in the affairs of the whole government." Chen Hui said with a smile, "this is what Niang Niang said..." just about to say something, but Fang Xinsu turned away and obviously didn''t want to talk to her.


    Or leisurely said, "Mr. Zheng is the confidant of the Lord. If Mr. Chen is not sure about the propriety of this matter, why don''t you go back and let the Lord decide?" Chen Hui actually means that, but Fang Xinsu doesn''t open his mouth. He''s embarrassed to mention it. Now it''s Mrs. Shen who finally says it. He''s very grateful for leisurely. Just, don''t know the princess with don''t agree with this matter, so looked up toward the direction of Fang Xinsu two eyes. Leisurely smile, "Chen Changshi just take people away, the princess has me here." Chen Hui quickly arched his hand and said, "well, thank you very much for Mrs. Shen''s thoughtfulness. I''ll leave."


    When Chen Hui and his party were clean, Fang Xinsu turned to look at Xiang leisurely. "It''s a mess here. According to this situation, Yutan can''t take care of herself here. Why don''t you move her to my princess''s residence first? It''s close to me. Let her carry her in a soft sedan chair for a while. The rest will be planned when she''s out of confinement. " This is also her intention to support Zheng Xun. If Zheng Xun was here, things would not be cheap.


    Leisurely turned and went to the delivery room, was about to discuss this matter with mother Wang, but saw that jade sandalwood had woken up, now went to the bedside and asked eagerly, "you wake up, what do you think? Are you better? "


    Yutan nodded. "It''s OK, grandma. I''m much better. I''ve heard what I said in the yard just now. I don''t want to stay in this place any more. Let''s do as the princess says. " Leisurely sighed, "I was not good at the beginning. I didn''t expect that he was such a person." Then she asked Liu Ye to help her pack things.


    Hearing the sigh leisurely, Yu Tan''s lonely smile said, "it''s not my grandmother''s fault. I was willing to do it at the beginning, and he treated me very well at the beginning. It''s just that people are fickle. " Then she took out a bunch of keys from a dark gray at the head of the bed and handed them to mother Wang. "Ganniang recognizes my dowry. Please go to the north room and help me gather the dowry and take it away."


    Wang''s mother looked at her with tears in her eyes. "Girl, do you need this? It''s easier to move than to come back


    Yu Tan wiped away a string of tears from the corner of his eyes. "Since he left, he didn''t want to come back." Then she looked up at the room. It seemed that the whole family was happy just yesterday. She said faintly, "I''ve heard what the man said just now. What''s the matter with us in his heart. Just stay. This place is no longer my home. "


    Seeing her like this, mother Wang instantly thought of her young lady who died early. Why is it so difficult for women in this world to do it? No matter how out of tune men are, it is women who suffer.

 Chapter 289

    When everyone saw that Yutan''s intention had been decided, they took action one after another. The packing that should be packed and the packing that should be packed soon made her soft and regular. Mother Wang helped her put on the crane open, put on Zhaojun cover, surrounded tightly. Several stout women carried the sedan chair to the door of the house. Liu Ye and others mixed her in and sat down. Then the women lifted the sedan chair and went out.


    Mother Wang and others took Yutan''s things and got into another carriage. They leisurely said to mother Wang, "our family is really far away. Mother and Yutan will settle down in the princess''s house first. When they get out of the month, if they want to go back to our house, they will send someone to send a message, and I will send a car to pick you up." Then he pointed to a little servant girl and a rough lady and said to her, "you two will go to the princess''s residence with mother Wang to wait on her for some time, and the blanket will be sent to you later. Just serve there with peace of mind, and you will do well. " It is said that they are going to the princess''s house. Naturally, they are willing to meet the market, and they are all ready to come down.


    Busy to this time, the day is almost dark, leisurely declined the good intentions of fangxinsu, took the car home. Shen Ze will be on duty in the Yamen tonight, so he is not at home, only two little ones are waiting for her in her room. Leisurely first talked with Kangtai, then teased his little son. Kangfu wants to be held by his mother with two small hands open, but leisurely feels that he didn''t hold him as soon as he came back from the outside, which makes the boy turn his mouth and start to cry. He was led to play on the Kang by his brother with a clay doll. After a while, he threw his mother aside.


    Leisurely looking at the little son lying on the Kang with two little feet, he was giggled by his brother. At the beginning, Kangtai said that he didn''t like his younger brother, but now he is rarer than anyone else. He can make him happy. Leisurely smile, went to the bathroom next door to take a bath, put on home clothes, and then came back to see Shen Xi do not know when to come, thought she must be thinking about mother Wang.


    Sure enough, as soon as he saw leisurely, Shen Xi quickly stood up and said, "my sister-in-law worked hard today. I don''t know what happened to elder sister Yutan? How''s mother Wang? "


    Leisurely let her sit down, "don''t worry, the jade sandalwood has been successfully produced, mother and son are safe. As you know, there are no female dependents in the Zheng family. Mother Wang stays there to take care of her


    At this time, the maid came to say that dinner was ready. Leisurely asked Shen Xi, "have you eaten?" Shen Xi nodded, "I''ve already had it, sister-in-law, eat it quickly."


    Leisurely also did not politely with her, today a whole day, noon to accompany guests, also did not eat well, this meeting she is really hungry. After dinner, my sister-in-law and I said some interesting things about school. Shen Xi saw leisurely and tired, and left early. Leisurely originally thought that after experiencing such a twists and turns this afternoon, she might not be able to sleep at night. Unexpectedly, she fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow. Before going to bed, she always felt that there was something in her heart that she didn''t understand, but she couldn''t remember, so she fell asleep.


    The next morning, leisurely asked someone to pack up some things for mother yang to send to the princess''s house. By the way, I also wanted to know how Qi Heng dealt with Zheng Xun. Thinking of this man insulting Fang Xinsu like that yesterday, I feel that I don''t know how to hate him even if I cut him to pieces. But he was the confidant of the king of Rongjun and the father of two children of Yutan. Leisurely, he didn''t know what to do with him if he was his master.


    How can a man who used to look good say that he changed his mind? Think of him is Qi Heng''s confidant, leisurely in the heart dark Fei is really worthy of master and servant, are all the same! I don''t know whether Shen Ze and I will come to this step in the future? She rubbed her eyebrows, forget it, think about it, just feel upset. Leisurely took out the Heart Sutra and read it twice before he felt much calmer.


    After a while, LiuYe brought a list to her and said, "grandma, this is a gift from the empress of the Zhou Dynasty yesterday. The maidservant has already remembered it. Do you want to see if these things are put in the warehouse or what?"


    Yes, she didn''t take a good look at the "reparation" brought by Princess Zhou yesterday, so she said, "bring the things first and I''ll have a look."


    After a while, a few servant girls came in holding several trays. Leisurely looking at the list one by one, I can see that there are two top-quality Yunjin and two Sichuan brocade, both of which are the latest patterns of this year. In addition, there is a set of red gold jewelry inlaid with Jasper. Compared with the grand and dignified style of Jingzhong, this set of jewelry is exquisite and small in workmanship, and the gold wire is as thin as the hair. It is estimated that a whole set of jewelry will use two or three taels of gold. Leisurely said with a smile, "I like this kind of head. No matter how delicate we fight in Beijing, a phoenix hairpin will weigh less than half a catty. Look at this. It''s exquisite and beautiful. Put it in the make-up box. "

 Chapter 290

    No one can help Yutan make up her mind about this matter. It''s up to her. After a few days, leisurely heard from the delivery woman that Granny Zheng never came back to the Zheng family, but she still asked the little maid and mother Wang to go back to the Zheng family to help Zheng Xun pack, and even made two big fur clothes for him with the leather from her dowry.


    Leisurely after listening to a sigh, all this seems to be in reason. There are facts that you can only comply or yield when you can''t change them.


    Looking up at the blue sky outside the window, leisurely only hope that one day all good women in the world can get the freedom and self-improvement they really want.


    Although jade Tan in the heart is also all kinds of not willing to be wronged, she originally is also determined to and Zheng Xun and leave. But when the elder son Qingge, who was still ignorant, asked her, "mother, if you moved to live here, would you not come back to our house? Can I see my father again? Will I have no father in the future? " Just a word, easily defeated the heart defense line of jade tan.


    She held her son in her arms and cried. What about the grievance? Even the princess had to compromise. What could she do? After crying, I still opened the dowry box, picked up a good leather and asked xiuniang in the house to help me make two big fur clothes. She wanted to go home in person to pack for Zheng Xun, but mother Wang stopped her and said, "you haven''t been born yet, but you can''t worry about it like this. Besides, you''ve already tossed about once. You can''t bear to toss about again. I''ll go. You can lend me the apricot and keep it for you. " Jade Tan see ganniang insist so, had to go with her.


    Zheng Xun was scolded by Qi Heng and asked him to think for two days behind closed doors in the Chaifang. After he came out, Qi Heng didn''t get angry, so he demoted him and sent him to a remote place like Taining County. Everyone said that he had offended the prince and the princess this time. I''m afraid he won''t have any future in the future. He didn''t treat him as well as he used to. Zheng Xun saw that the soldiers and servants who flattered him often changed their faces, and he couldn''t help regretting.


    When he got home, it was strange for him to look at the cold and quiet appearance of the yard. When I came to the room and saw that Yutan''s dowry box and daily necessities had disappeared, I was flustered. Yutan bought the maid with her private money, so I would follow her. There was only an old cook left at home. When Zheng Xun came to ask him, he said, "not long after my uncle left with Chen Dianshi, my grandmother''s mother''s family helped her with her dowry, saying that she was going to the princess''s residence for a month. Mrs. Shen had a lot of tonics and black chickens and crucian carp sent to her. Later she asked her mother-in-law to take them away. "


    Zheng Xun sighed. What are these things? He came out of the palace, but he didn''t eat a hot meal. This time, he became hungry. After hearing this, the old lady asked, "are you hungry? I''ll make a fire. How about a bowl of noodles for you? " Zheng Xun nodded and scanned the room for a week. He remembered that in the past, the kitchen was full of many ingredients. How could he see that there was nothing left? He thought that the old lady was taking advantage of her master''s absence, so he frowned and asked, "I remember there were always a lot of food in the kitchen before. Why did the old lady lose everything?"


    On hearing this, the old lady wiped her tears and said, "it''s useless for me. That afternoon, I steamed a bowl of meat foam egg soup for the young master. The young master had been running in the yard all morning. I couldn''t wait for the old slave to take it to the hall, so I sat at the kitchen door and ate it. Just as aunt Hong walked from here and saw it, she pointed to the old slave and scolded him, saying something about stepping on the high and holding the low. The old slave didn''t dare to answer back, just thinking that she was finished. But aunt Hong saw the towel gourd soup stewed on the stove again. She asked who it was stewed for, and the old slave said it was stewed for grandma. My uncle also knows that grandma''s pregnancy is not good, and her legs and feet are swollen in the last two months. " Zheng Xun coughed awkwardly. In fact, he didn''t know. He didn''t seem to have talked to his wife for two months, and he didn''t know that her legs were swollen.


    The mother-in-law didn''t seem to find him uncomfortable, so she went on saying, "that time, when my in-law wife came over, she heard about this, and taught me some recipes. She said that she would go to edema and make some food for grandma every day. In fact, there is nothing valuable, just some Luffa, wax gourd, red beans and so on. Who knows red aunt a listen is to do for grandma, unexpectedly very angry, go up to the stew of Tao Gu to smash. He also threw everything else in the kitchen and scolded at the same time. Don''t mention that the eldest young master is such a little child. Even the old slave has never seen such a shrewd person in his life! The young master was scared to cry on the spot. When grandma heard the news, she came from the backyard and said something about Aunt Hong. I don''t know how aunt Hong was born with such a vicious mind. Despite the fact that the eldest grandmother was pregnant, she ran into her grandmother with her head on her shoulder. Fortunately, the girl Xiao Xing was clever and got in front of her grandmother all of a sudden, which didn''t let aunt Hong hit her grandmother''s stomach directly. Otherwise, the young master didn''t know what to do. In this way, grandma also accidentally fell to the ground and saw red on the spot. This is not the door, although the old slave washed it clean. But there are always a group of flies there. It''s still bloody! " Following the place where the woman''s finger was, Zheng Xun saw that there were many mosquitoes and flies in that place. He could see the bloodstain vaguely when he looked carefully. He turned to his wife and asked, "what you said is the truth. Was it really Hongling''s first choice that day?"


    The mother-in-law quickly replied, "if you say this, you will be a slave. The slave was allocated to you by the first imperial concubine. After staying in this family for more than ten years, can you still face me? Although the dead man was very big, the red aunt was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she pretended to be in front of the old man. As soon as you go out, you will be domineering at home. If you want to cut new clothes all day long, it''s just to make new jewelry. That time, Mrs. Shen asked someone to send some pieces of material to grandma, and she wanted them when she saw them. Grandma was so annoyed by her that she had to give her a piece. Who knows that she was not satisfied and had to give her two pieces. Grandma had been pregnant and had to give her another piece because she was too tired to care about her. "


    Zheng Xun believed this. His family was limited, so he bought some common materials for his clothes. But the lady often gets some rewards from Mrs. Shen and the princess, so she has a lot of good materials. He did see that Hongling often wore clothes made of fine silk. Even if he privately subsidized Hongling a lot of money, he was afraid that it was not enough to make these clothes. Then in this family, it''s only the lady who can make up for it with her private house.


    Pian Hongling often complains that grandma always treats her badly. Now think about it, if Yutan really treats her harshly, how can she still wear new clothes and jewelry in the town? Thinking of this, Zheng Xun couldn''t help patting his head. He thought that he was such a jerk that he couldn''t understand this!


    Is Yutan really so virtuous and generous? Who knows!


    After another two months or so, leisurely was pruning flowers in the greenhouse. I heard that Granny Zheng had come to say hello.

 Chapter 291

    Leisurely saw her, said with a smile, "your body is just right, it''s not good to be born at home and will be raised, and run so far."


    After seeing the ceremony, Yutan sat down at the next seat and said, "I''m very well. This time, the princess and ganniang said that I was wronged when I gave birth. They forced me to have a bimonthly. Otherwise, I should have invited Ann to my grandmother. If there were no princess and grandmother to make decisions for me that day. We''re not sure what''s going on? " With that, her eyes turned red again.


    Leisurely quickly advised, "well, don''t do that. Although I have told you about my confinement, it hasn''t been more than a hundred days. I''m not happy about it. Don''t hurt your eyes any more. "


    Smell speech jade Tan quickly take a handkerchief wipe tears, smile way "look at me, originally is to give grandma please, if provoked grandma sad is my not, should punish."


    Leisurely smile and say, "how many years of love? No need to say that. As long as you are well, mother Wang didn''t come back with you? "


    Yutan replied, "ganniang originally wanted to come back with me, but my Qingxiao has been coughing a little recently. It''s just a little bit in the past two days. Ganniang was afraid that we were not at home and no one was watching him. If he went out to play madly again, it would aggravate his illness, so he didn''t come. He said he would come back a few days later to greet grandma and the big girl


    Leisurely smile "mother Wang is afraid to be happy with you, with her daughter and grandson. How lively it is, I''m afraid I don''t want to come back."


    Yutan said with a smile, "it''s not true. Ganniang has always been thinking about the big girl. But my uncle went to other places, and there are only three of us at home, who are cold and cruel. Ganniang can be my companion there. She always talks to me, and I feel that she has a backbone in everything. "


    Leisurely sipped a cup of tea, then slowly asked "you moved back?"


    Wen Yan Yu Tan nodded, "I''ll move back when I''m out of confinement, or it''s time to come here. I haven''t had my master at home for two months. It''s dirty and messy. I can''t see the past until I''ve cleaned up a lot of days."


    Leisurely sighed in the heart, but hear jade Tan such answer, still feel some in the heart suffocate, this world way woman suffer again big grievance still want to compromise after all. She said with a lonely smile, "you are always a clean person. You can''t clean up at home."


    Xu saw the depression of leisurely mood, Yu Tan bowed his head, and said again, "I know that grandma is unfair to me, but this is the way of the world. Before he left, he went to the princess''s house to see me and said that he was sorry for me. A big man knelt down for me. What can I do? Even if he had not knelt before, it would only disappear. If not, others will only say that I am unreasonable. If I''m really alone, I''ll do whatever he wants. But now that I''m a mother, I don''t think about myself but also for them. Really make and leave that step, two children how to do? Now I can understand why Huaping would rather comb herself than marry someone. If she wants to marry a good one, she will be confused. How can she live? It''s better to be alone. " He was already in tears.


    Seeing her like this, he walked over and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. "Well, now everything is over. This time, Zheng Xun has suffered. When he comes back, you will have a good life, and it will be better and better in the future. "


    Yutan said with a bitter smile, "after this time, I don''t want to have a couple for my whole life, but I just want to live together! When he comes back three years later, if he really changes, I will live with him wholeheartedly. If I have two sons, I don''t have to be afraid of him. "


    Leisurely heart is a burst of sigh, sure enough, in this world, a woman''s biggest dependence has never been her husband but her son, it seems that as long as there is a son, everything is not a problem!


    She shook her head with a bitter smile. Seeing that Yu Tan''s crying eyes were red, she quickly asked someone to fetch water to clean up the dowry for her.


    When I heard that Yutan had come, Yulian also came to see her. Although Yutan had just cleaned her face, her eyes were still red and swollen. Yulian only pretended not to see her, and talked about her family routine with a smile. When it came to nourishing the body, Yu Tan patted his head and said with a smile, "look at my brain, I''m really confused. Today, I''m here to give something to grandma and Lady Lin. I''ve forgotten all about it Said, then let a person carry in a big box, still have a few big burdens.


    Yu Tan opened the box and said with a smile, "the Chuang Tzu from Taining came up to deliver the harvest this summer to the Lord. Our family asked someone to bring back some fur and ginseng. He wrote to me that the fur there was of good quality and cheap. In addition to paying homage to the princes and princesses, he also gave me two boxes to make clothes. How many people in my family can use these? So I chose some good ones for grandma


    Then he took out two brocade boxes from the box and said, "these two boxes are old ginseng and antler. I saw that the quality is OK, so I brought some for grandma."


    Leisurely doesn''t know much about pilose antler, but yeshanshen has seen a lot in recent years. She opened the box and saw that the one given by Yutan was always forty or fifty years old, which was quite human. She said quickly, "I have such a good thing here. You should keep it for yourself in case of anything."


    Yutan replied with a smile, "grandma, don''t worry, there are still many at home. Besides, although it''s a great tonic, people with a weak constitution can''t enjoy it. They don''t need it in leisure. It''s rotten after a long time. It''s better to share it and eat it as soon as possible. " In addition to these and leather materials, there are a lot of dry goods, such as agaric, Hazel mushroom, pine nuts and so on.


    In addition to those for leisurely, there are also those for Yulian and her former sisters. Yutan has already been packed with a bundle. They take it back and distribute it by themselves.


    After a while, Yutan is about to leave. Leisurely, seeing that it''s almost noon and she wants to keep her for dinner, Yutan says with a smile, "grandma shouldn''t have said goodbye to her meal, but I''ve been out for most of the day, and there''s a small one waiting to be nursed at home. I really can''t stay long."


    Listening to her saying this, leisurely had to say with a smile, "that''s true. When a mother goes out like this, she always remembers whether the child is at home or not. In that case, I will not leave you. When brother Fu is older, you can bring him to play. "


    At this time, LiuYe took a box and handed it to Yutan leisurely. "Now it''s the period of national filial piety. I''m afraid that Fuge''s hundred day banquet can''t be arranged. This gift was prepared early in the morning. You can take it by the way. I''ll send it to the province again."


    Jade Tan wants to refuse, leisurely just put it in her arms, "here you are, just take it. When he is one year old, I will go to see him personally. "

 Chapter 292

    Smell speech, jade Tan then didn''t add to push to yield more, in addition to this brocade box, leisurely still let the next person pack up the thing of half car to give her. Jade sandalwood see are some seasonal fruits and vegetables, rice, flour, grain and oil, and so on, he accepted with a smile.


    When Yu Tan left, she took a leisurely look at the hazel mushrooms she brought. She said with a smile, "it''s the best thing to stew chicken. Let the kitchen soak it with water and eat chicken in the evening." Then, he picked out half of the dry goods and sent them to his mother''s house together with some fruits just sent by Chuang Tzu.


    It was Su He who sent things. Because he was so close, he came back in less than half an hour. Leisurely just finished lunch, see her full face spring breeze of come back, can''t help but ask "what happy event? How happy are you? "


    Su he said with a smile, "congratulations to grandma. My eldest uncle has just been appointed Deputy envoy of the Department of General Administration this morning. Although I don''t know what the official position is, I think my uncle will be promoted when I look at the happy look of my in laws and aunts, and the house full of people who are going to congratulate me. "


    Leisurely shook his head with a smile and said, "it''s not a promotion. It''s equal to his original position of shaozhan. However, the Department of General Administration is in charge of the internal and external chapters of the imperial court and the sealed complaints of the subjects, which is also some real power. In any case, this time he always has a place, better than idle at home. Come on, prepare another gift. I''ll go there myself


    When I arrived at my mother''s house leisurely, I saw that there were many carriages in front of my mother''s house again, which was quite different from the scene when the prince just died a few days ago. Leisurely heart a sigh, straight from the side door into the inside.


    There are many people at the door, but few can get in. Most of them were blocked outside. When they leisurely entered the inner courtyard, Lin''s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking to a young woman.


    Seeing her coming, several people quickly stood up, and Zhuang Shu personally welcomed her to the door. "I thought my sister would come back tomorrow, but I didn''t expect to come today."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s said that the servant girls can''t explain clearly when they hear that the job of the reform has been settled. I just want to come and have a look, and I''m close to you. " Zhuang Shu asked her to take a seat while sending her servant girls to make tea. "Pink, go to my room and get that pot of Phoenix narcissus to make a pot for my aunt. Remember to use purple sand tea ware."


    See her so meticulous, leisurely can''t help laughing way "I''m not an outsider, almost did not come every day, you are so polite!"


    Zhuang Shu replied, "because my sister is not an outsider, I just take the best things to entertain my sister, and change others, no one has this face." With a smile, he glanced at the young woman sitting opposite.


    The young woman may think that this is aimed at her, and her face is very ugly. Zhuang Shu has always been considerate and thoughtful in her daily life. She never does anything that gives people a cold face on the spot. Leisurely don''t know which entanglement, now also can only round the field way "this grandmother looks at the eye, don''t know is that family?"


    The young woman quickly stood up and said with a smile, "this is the lady of commander Shen of the imperial guards. It''s a pleasure to meet you. My husband''s family is the Cao family, the emperor''s merchant who supplies the palace with fat and flour. I''m the second minister of Commerce. "


    Leisurely nod should be way "originally is Cao Er granny, disrespectful."


    The second grandmother of Cao said with a smile, "I don''t dare to be. In the past, I only heard that Mrs. Shen was virtuous and virtuous, but she just couldn''t meet each other. Today, I really feel that she deserves her reputation." Leisurely just smiles and doesn''t speak, but her heart is in the belly Fei. She has been married for so many years, and Shen Ze has no concubine around her. Who in Beijing doesn''t say that she is jealous behind her back? Virtuous and virtuous? These words seem to have nothing to do with her, and the second grandmother Cao doesn''t know whether she said it on purpose or not.


    At this time, Zhuang Shu interjected, "I already know the purpose of the second grandma Cao today, but since the matter has been settled a few days ago, there is nothing to change, that''s it. I still have guests to entertain here, so I will soon stay with the second grandmother of Cao, come and see them off. " With that, she was invited out.


    Second grandmother Cao quickly said with a smile, "cousin, why do we need this? How can we say that we are also relatives, aren''t we?" Wen Yan Zhuang Shu sneered, "relatives? I remember a few days ago, grandma Cao didn''t say that. Besides, this relative is not a random climber. The only one in your family who can make friends with me is your eldest sister-in-law, Granny Cao. Although the relationship is far away, at least you are also a serious cousin. What are you? Dare to be my sister? Now you leave with your things in peace. I think for the sake of my cousin, I will give you some face. If you do any more wordiness, don''t blame me for being impolite! "


    Seeing Zhuang Shu''s tough attitude, the second grandmother Cao left with something in her hands.


    When she left, Lin advised, "good boy, don''t be angry. It''s not worth getting angry with these snobbish people. Your aunt and sister-in-law are talking here. I''ll go back to the room and lie down. "


    Since the Lin family received the imperial edict in the morning, people have been coming to visit. Although some irrelevant people have not been put in, there are always a few close people that we have to see. Mother Lin worked hard for most of the day, but she was really tired.


    Now listening to her saying this, Zhuang Shu knew that her mother-in-law was very tired. She said with a smile, "mother, go and have a rest. I''ll talk to my sister."


    Lin Mu nodded and said to leisurely, "don''t leave for a while. I''ll have dinner here in the evening and go for a while. I''ll send someone to pick up my son-in-law."


    Leisurely covered his mouth and said with a smile, "that''s not very good. I''ll let my kitchen prepare chicken stewed with mushrooms. Isn''t it a waste if I don''t go back to eat?"


    Lin''s mother said with a smile, "what''s so hard about this? If you''ve done it well, can''t you just let people bring the pot together?"


    Zhuang Shu also said with a smile, "or mother will calculate, now we not only save food, but also a pot." All of them laughed.


    Lin''s mother waved her hand with a smile. "I''m not talking to you anymore. I''m leaving."


    They stood up and watched mother Lin go away before they sat down again. Leisurely, they asked, "who was that man just now? How did you make such a big fire? I haven''t seen you so impolite in all these years. "


    Zhuang Shu, who had calmed down, sighed, "my grandmother''s cousin is a granddaughter of the Hou family in Pingshan County. I should be called cousin. I married the eldest son of the Cao family a few years ago. This second grandmother Cao is my cousin''s sister-in-law. "


    Hear here, leisurely frown "you this cousin is at least Hou Fu Qian Jin, how can marry to business?"? Even if it''s an imperial merchant, it''s a little far from being good, isn''t it


    Zhuang Shu chuckles all her life. "I''m not gossiping. Because I''m a child, I don''t need to support my family. So I''ve been spoiled since I was a child. I don''t know how high and how generous I am. When they separated, they also divided several thousand acres of fertile land, ten shops and several Chuang Tzu, but he was a black sheep and greedy for money. In the town, he either bought concubines or held actors, and his money was like running water. In a few years, he lost most of his family business. Later, Chang Guogong cleaned him up, and he was safe. But the family business has been defeated, and he has seven or eight children at one go. Is it better to divide the family business? My daughter''s generation can at least prepare a decent dowry. When my cousin comes here, Gongzhong can''t afford to pay a dowry of two thousand taels of silver each. "


    Leisurely puzzled asked "this, is not a hall of a marquis house has no income?"

 Chapter 293

    Zhuang Shu shakes her head helplessly. "It''s true that there are many people who want to go to their own rooms and take advantage of the public. What''s the matter with the outside world? I''ll have internal friction at home first. Can I not speed up the decline? If it wasn''t for my great uncle and his wife, they would have been able to manage to split up their families, which barely supported the overall situation. Now it''s more difficult. "


    Just as the servant girl brought the tea, Zhuang Shu poured a cup of tea for leisurely. "How about my sister tasting this tea?"


    Leisurely picked up the tea cup, first smelled it, praised the "delicious tea." Then he took a sip and said with a smile, "the tea is rich and mellow. It''s really good."


    Zhuang Shu also drank a mouthful to moisten her throat, and then just said, "my great cousin''s daughter gave birth to three, and two sons, plus four or five concubines, and a few underage concubines when they separated. All in all, wedding money alone is not a small sum. My eldest cousin simply promised several concubines to the rich merchant''s family and got a lot of betrothal gifts before she got married. "


    Leisurely some speechless "this, this and sell a daughter what difference?"


    Zhuang Shu said, "my cousin is already virtuous. Although most of the people I find for the common girls are businessmen, they are also decent people with good family style. Although I deduct some betrothal gifts, the dowry I give them is not simple. The cousin married to the Cao family was originally given to the eldest son who wanted to inherit the family property. Who would have expected that my cousin would not be lucky. Shortly after my son''s first birthday, my cousin met the thief on the way out to buy goods, and unfortunately lost his life. At the funeral of my cousin''s husband, my son had the misfortune to catch the cold and went to the hospital. If it wasn''t for her, she would have followed her daughter. When I was in my boudoir, I had a good chat with her, so I walked around a little on weekdays. "


    Leisurely asked strangely, "then how can this matter be related to granny Cao again?"


    Zhuang Shu sighed, "it''s not that all the Chuang Tzu shops in my family came to close the account a year ago. They all entered more than 6000 taels of silver. Although it''s not much, I think it''s useless to put it away. I''m going to do business with it. My cousin happened to have a silk shop in her hand, and the business was pretty good. So I learned some experience from her. She was also planning to open a new shop, so she invited me to take a share, and I should take it. Who knows this matter is known by Cao Er granny, she also wants to follow to become a shareholder. After my cousin was gone, my cousin took her daughter to Jianchu. Now the second master of the Cao family is responsible for the internal and external affairs of the Cao family. I think I can''t make it difficult for my cousin to do it at home, so I should do it. "


    Hearing this, she said with a leisurely smile, "could it be that after the prince left, the second grandmother Cao withdrew her shares when she saw that the reform had been idle at home."


    Zhuang Shu clapped her hands and said, "my sister is really smart. I''ll get a guess."


    Leisurely smile with a sigh, "which is my wisdom? It has always been the case with people in the world. There are more people who follow the trend and less people who send charcoal in the snow. "


    Zhuang Shu nodded and said, "isn''t that the reason? The shop opened without her money. The business is stable, but it doesn''t earn much. I''ve calculated that the most I can get in a year is two thousand taels of silver. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "that''s quite a lot. It''s just a shop. You two make a profit of 4000 taels of silver a year. It''s not so simple."


    Zhuang Shu said with a smile, "there''s no way to compare with my sister''s shop, but I''m timid, and I only dare to do these safe things. Like these silk fabrics, I see them every day. I know something about them. I don''t dare to do the business of dressing up. "


    Leisurely don''t understand of smile way "you this is how?"? You''re not always that kind of person. You don''t care much about it. Have you met any difficulties? "


    After hearing this, Zhuang Shu looked at leisurely and said, "my sister is not an outsider, so I''ll just say it. My sister knows my temperament. She really doesn''t like to worry like that. Don''t I feel sad to see my husband go to court for an hour or two every day? It''s very hard for Xianggong to work every day. He has to run back and forth every day. He suffers from the wind and rain. I want to make more money as soon as possible from the industry of Gongzhong, so that I can buy a house on the edge of the Forbidden City. Our family will move there, and it will be cheaper for Xianggong to go to court. Even if the children are older, they will not be so crowded in the future. " After a pause, she went on to say, "my sister knows that my dowry is still thick. There are two houses in my dowry, but my husband''s temperament will not live in my dowry house. The account in Xianggong''s heart is clear again. I want to make up some silver from the dowry to Gongzhong. He can see it at a glance. It''s only a matter of years before we can save enough money to buy a house. "


    Leisurely clapped her hand, "it''s a blessing for us Lin family to marry you. I know your mind is good, but everything should be slow, don''t worry too much. A few years ago, our family was still living in the farmyard of Linjia village. Who could have thought of today''s fortune? But what you said is reasonable. It will be more convenient to move to the inner city. Another day I''ll ask someone to see if there are any suitable ones near our house. If there are, you can just buy them near our house. Then we''ll live together and it''s convenient to walk around. "


    Zhuang Shu quickly said with a smile, "that''s a good feeling. I had planned to do the same. It''s just


    Leisurely smile "just what? But how about money? "


    Zhuang Shu nodded shyly, "yes, there are less than 1000 Liang silver left in Gongzhong''s book now, and the rest are all invested in the silk shop by me."


    Leisurely and firmly said, "it''s OK. I''ll buy it for you first if I have the right one. Come back to me when you have plenty in your hands in the future. "


    Zhuang Shu shook her head. "It''s not necessary. I still have some silver in my dowry. It should be enough to buy a house with three or four entries. How can I use my sister''s silver? If my brother-in-law knows, I''m afraid he won''t like it. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "your brother-in-law won''t be so stingy. He never interferes with his private dowry. Besides, I lent it to you. I don''t have to pay it back. You can count the cash in your dowry. This house is not too expensive. Three into the house is estimated to be more than 10000 Liang, but you buy that house will not clean up? No new furniture? Which one is not allowed to spend money on bedding, furnishings, curtains, doors and windows? Maybe the money to repair the yard will be more expensive than the money to buy a house. You don''t use mine. Whose do you use? It''s settled. I''ll bring you the money later. "


    What''s going on? I''m talking about the shop. How can I get involved in the banknote? Zhuang Shu can''t react.

 Chapter 294

    Fortunately, to Zhuang Shu''s delight, after her husband came back in the evening, her elder sister succeeded in persuading her stubborn husband. Finally, Xianggong agreed to borrow her dowry silver and aunt''s silver to buy the house first, and then pay it back slowly.


    It''s settled. In the evening, Yulian takes taoliang with her two leisurely children. In addition, Xing Ge''er and Qing jie''er, four or five children gather together and chatter, which is very lively. Lin''s mother is not too noisy. She hugs this and that with a smile. She just feels happy.


    When Shen Ze was on duty, he came here. The family had a big dinner happily to celebrate that Enron finally had a job. If it were not for the period of national filial piety, people would have to drink a lot.


    After a few days, leisurely let people send the booklet over. Zhuang Shufeng and Lin Mu and An''an read it, and then chose three sets of outstanding ones. The whole family went to see the actual situation, and finally chose a three in house. Leisurely also followed the past. He was satisfied that the house was not too long in the north and south, but it was better in the East and West. In addition to the main courtyard, there were five or six small yards and many rooms. Even the grandchildren of Enron could live in it. The original master returned home because he was an official. The main reason was that his descendants had nothing to do. It was not easy to live in the capital, so he planned to sell the house back to his hometown. Because there are people living all the time, the house looks lively.


    Moreover, the most important thing is that this house is only one street away from the one Youran bought two years ago, which is even closer than the present one. Enron also wanted to live closer to her sister''s house, so she finally decided on this one.


    Although the house is not small, it is still three in the yard according to the regulations, so it only cost 7000 Liang to buy it. Of course, the old master also wanted to make friends with Enron, a new nobleman in the imperial court, so he gave him some money.


    After the house was settled, leisurely people sent 20000 taels of silver to Lin Mu. Later, Zhuang Shu came to return half of the money in person. Leisurely said with a smile, "although the house has been bought, there are still many places to spend money. Just keep it."


    Chuang Shu said, "no, Chuang Tzu just sent the harvest in autumn. With the harvest of the prime minister in mid autumn, he can support it now. Give the ten thousand Liang back to my sister first. Isn''t my sister going to clean up the house? Don''t delay my sister. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "the money used to renovate the house is all money from the public. How can I use my private house? If you don''t, I''ll put it away first. " It seems that my younger brother, the Deputy envoy of the Department of General Administration, should be very rich. Leisurely doesn''t think there''s anything wrong with his younger brother''s receiving gifts. This is the general trend of the world. Every year''s three festivals and two birthdays, Bingjing and Tanjing are all good opportunities for the imperial court to default that officials receive extra money. As long as it doesn''t go too far, it will be OK. Sometimes it''s too incorruptible to be an official in the yamen, but it''s not easy to do things.


    Zhuang Shu always thought that the silver belonged to her elder sister''s family, but unexpectedly it was leisurely private house. She has seen the dowry list of her elder sister in the Lin family. I''m afraid it''s only about twenty thousand taels in total. It''s only a few years. My aunt has twenty thousand taels of cash? I haven''t seen her sell any Chuang Tzu shops. On the contrary, the dowry industry is growing.


    Think of here, Zhuang Shu can''t help smacking tongue way "elder sister is really rich."


    Leisurely, seeing that she was just pure appreciation without the slightest jealousy, she said with a smile, "in fact, I don''t know much about business management, but I''m just lucky. By the way, how is your silk shop these days? "


    Zhuang Shu replied with a smile, "it''s OK. It''s sold well in mid autumn, and the profit is four or five times that of ordinary days. It''s almost the end of the year, and business is still booming. "


    They were talking about how to repair the house, what kind of flowers and trees to plant, and so on. When they saw a servant girl come in and say, "if you go back to grandma, there is a Juren who claims to be the Xu family in Jinzhou. He said that he is the cousin of my uncle and has sent a post to visit."


    Jinzhou Xu family? Leisurely think for a long time to remember that this is not Shen Ze''s grandmother is not surnamed Xu? Is it his family? After getting married, leisurely only knew her grandmother''s surname was Xu, but she never saw any contact between the two families. She was not even close to Xi''s uncle. Why did this meeting suddenly come to me? Thinking of this, leisurely asked "he came alone, or together with his wife?" The servant girl returns a way "is to bring the female dependents to come over." Anyway, please come in and see what it is.


    Leisurely pondered, "those who come are guests. Please come in first. The women''s family members will take them directly to the front flower hall and go to the shop to call Mr. Jiang back to treat the guests. I''ll go to the Yamen to see if I can ask you to come back earlier. "


    At this time, in the carriage outside the Shen family, there was a woman in her fifties, a young woman in her early twenties and a girl of sixteen or seventeen. When she entered the capital, she saw many magnificent buildings along the way. At first sight, she felt disappointed at the entrance of the Shen family. She couldn''t help murmuring, "mother, don''t you say that Shen''s cousin is a senior official of zhengsanpin? How I look at this house is not so good


    The old woman scolded, "what do you know? It''s here, huqin! How expensive is the land price in the capital? For the money of this house, we can buy two sets of five in the compound. I''ve told you so many times. Don''t talk nonsense if you don''t know. " The girl smacked her tongue and dared not speak.


    One side of the young woman bowed her head and said nothing. Her mother-in-law was always so philistine. She opened her mouth and closed her mouth to money. She didn''t know what kind of luck she had taken at the beginning, but she was able to marry to the Xu family. Although the Xu family has been declining these years, it was one of the largest families in Jinzhou 20 or 30 years ago.


    Young women just feel that life is like a year. It''s been a while since the post was handed in. Why hasn''t a reply been received? Maybe people don''t want to recognize their relatives. Think about it. She has been in the door for more than two years. She never knew that she had such a relative, not to mention that she didn''t walk around every Spring Festival. Now such a rash door-to-door trade, I''m afraid people are not willing to take care of it.


    Just as she was daydreaming, a man in charge came out of the gate and welcomed her husband in with a smile. Then several women came, and the first one in silk and satin and two or three gold hairpins came to invite each other with a smile.


    It was Shen Ze''s cousin Xu Bai, her daughter-in-law an and her daughter yinlian.


    Although the other party''s intention is not clear, but somehow came all the way, and there is an elder, so leisurely will welcome to the second door. But Zhuang Shu took the opportunity to leave, "sister, since there are guests here, I won''t bother here. It''s time to go back to feed Qing''er."


    Leisurely said, "that''s OK. Come back to talk when you have time." Zhuang Shu didn''t like to see strangers, so she left through the corner gate.

 Chapter 295

    Watching Zhuang Shu go away, leisurely then turned to stand in front of the Chuihua gate, looked up to see mother Yang leading three strange wives came. The leader is about fifty years old, with a bun and a gold hairpin. When leisurely looking at the past, the man happened to look this way. When he saw leisurely, he was surprised. Then he quickly walked a few steps to come to him. He took leisurely''s hand and said with a smile, "this is zege''s daughter-in-law. It''s really a sign."


    Leisurely and quietly took out his hand, said with a smile, "I''m young, I don''t know what seniority, dare not call at will."


    The woman said with a smile, "zegol''s former grandmother is our old aunt. Our short-lived old man and your former father-in-law are the cousins."


    Leisurely, then it suddenly dawned on him that "it''s my aunt. I haven''t heard from her for a long time. I don''t know it''s your old man. I''m really sorry to welcome you. Come on, please


    A few people go into the flower hall and sit down. Leisurely, they always like elegance, but this flower hall is a place for entertaining guests. Naturally, there are several precious furnishings as the facade. Xu Bai''s mother and daughter just felt dazzled when they came in, but they couldn''t see it. There is a large glass screen on the floor at the door. The furniture in the room is yellow pear wood with water. On the top of the table are a pair of pink and blue glazed hollow five color revolving bottles and a pair of Yue Kiln green glazed octagonal bottles.


    Even though Xu Bai''s knowledge was limited, he could see that it was a good thing. As she was looking at it, she asked leisurely, "I don''t know what to call these two?"


    "This is your cousin yinlian. She will be sixteen this year," he said Then he pointed to his daughter-in-law and said, "this is your cousin Ann."


    The two aunts got up and saluted leisurely. Leisurely returned the salute while complaining. This cousin didn''t look like a sensible person. Although her daughter was young, she introduced her first and put her elder daughter-in-law behind her. It didn''t look like a sensible person would do, not to mention the look of their mother and daughter looking around after they came in. Even the daughters of Pingmin''s family were rarely so rude. But the angel has been quiet since he came in, and his speaking manners are also passable.


    Although she had some thoughts in her heart, she didn''t show half of them on leisurely face. No matter how the other party was, she naturally lost her manners. Smiling Yingying took a purse from the servant girl''s hand and handed it to yinlian. "For the first time, let''s play with a little gadget."


    Silver lotus said thanks, took the purse impolitely, and then couldn''t wait to open it. What she saw was a pair of red gold earrings inlaid with pearls. Although the pearls were not big, the color was rare light pink. Yinlian naturally fell in love with her. She replaced a pair of Red Agate Earrings on her ears on the spot.


    Leisurely over the years, I haven''t seen anything so careless. For a while, I was speechless, so I had to take a sip of tea from the cup. Xu Baishi didn''t think there was anything wrong with her daughter. At the moment, she helped yinlian to have her hair cut in person.


    It is an Shi some not very good meaning smile way "younger sister is still a child temper, saw good thing can''t help but some elation, cousin don''t joke."


    Hearing this, Bai said with some displeasure, "what are you talking about? My niece''s daughter-in-law is not an outsider. How can she laugh at your sister? " Then he flattered and looked at leisurely, "zege''s daughter-in-law, do you think your sister''s wearing the earrings you gave her a lot of color?"


    Taking a leisurely glance at yinlian, the girl must have put on her jewelry at the bottom of the box. She wears a pair of red gold hairpin with Lingxiao flower pattern on her head, a pair of long hairpin with ruby inlaid, a pair of bracelets with red gold inlaid with agate on her hand, a red gold Yingluo on her neck, and a gold lock on it. In fact, the earring she was wearing was quite suitable for these jewelry. Little girl, even if it was a little more gorgeous, it was not out of the ordinary. It''s just that this pair of earrings is a bit of a nondescript.


    But leisurely is not easy to say other people''s is not, had to smile and praise way "this pink and tender color is really a young girl to wear good-looking." Bai said without modesty, "this is not my boast. My daughter is very outstanding in her hometown." After hearing this, leisurely almost did not hold himself.


    But some of the servant girls standing at the back could not help laughing. This person is really cheeky. In terms of the appearance of Miss yinlian, not to mention the comparison with her grandmother, even the servant girls in the house could not compare.


    Seeing some embarrassment in the scene, Mrs. an said, "why didn''t you see my cousin''s children and two cousins?"


    Leisurely this just patted his head "look at my memory, sister Xi went to go to boudoir school and came back soon. My big boy is enlightening with his cousin at the national government. He won''t be back until the afternoon. But my youngest son is at home Having said that, he asked someone to hold the second young master. Then he called a woman to come and said, "wait at the gate of the girls'' school. After class, tell the girl that there are guests at home. Let her come home early."


    At this time, the silver lotus was staring at the Phoenix hairpin on Youran''s head. She said, "my cousin''s Phoenix hairpin is so beautiful. I don''t know when I can have such jewelry."


    Oh, I''ve just come to see my jewelry. Is it hard for me to meet the legendary best relative? But leisurely is not the kind of soft persimmon that people can handle. Now he laughs and says, "what''s the point? When you find a promising husband in the future and become Mrs. Gao Ming, you will naturally be able to wear such a big phoenix hairpin. " Nowadays, women''s head jewelry is still a little particular. For example, women''s family members in civilian families can''t wear fengchai. Only women with Gaoming can use fengchai. Moreover, the mantissa of fengchai that can be worn by different Gaoming grades are also different. Leisurely, as a third grade Gaoming, can wear five tail Phoenix hairpin at most. No matter how much it is, it''s against the rules.


    Silver lotus ate a not soft not hard nail, in the heart a little stuffy, want to say what, was secretly dragged by sister-in-law wrist. Yinlian turns to see her sister-in-law''s overcast face. Although she is dissatisfied, she pouts and doesn''t speak any more. Bai''s daughter-in-law looked a little unhappy, but thinking of her son''s advice and daughter-in-law''s mother''s home, she didn''t dare to say much.


    The lawsuits between these mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and sister-in-law all fell into leisurely eyes one by one. She lowered her head and thought, it seems that the eldest grandmother of the Xu family has some means. Just thinking about it, I watched two or three nannies and servant girls holding Ping Ge''er.


    Pingge''er is now six months old. It''s time to recognize people. Seeing his mother holding two small hands, he stands up and takes him over with a smile. Then he said to the Xu family, "this is my second son, brother Ping."

 Chapter 296

    Bai''s dry praise a "really a good boy." Instead, an Shi turned around and handed over two brocade boxes from the maid''s hand. He said with a smile, "the child is smart when he looks at them. This is my mother''s and me. Don''t give up my cousin."


    No matter what''s in the box, this one alone can show that an Shi is a polite person. At least he can do his best in face. Leisurely nature won''t give each other no face, at the moment life servant girl take over, smile to an Shi way "Lao younger sister trouble."


    After staying with his mother for a while, brother Ping began to wriggle around and leisurely handed him to the nurse. "Take advantage of the good weather, take him to the yard." Nanny takes over pingge''er and takes him out.


    Leisurely full skirt, this formally entered the theme "aunt this time the whole family to Beijing, but what''s the matter?"


    On hearing this, Bai said with a smile, "it''s not your big brother who passed the examination last year. The master said that his time is up, so he will come to the Chunwei examination next year. It''s not that I want to come a few days ahead of time. It''s not easy to walk in winter. He hasn''t been far away. Our family are worried. They want to come here together to be a companion and see the scenery of the capital. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "I see. My cousin won the examination at a young age. He is really young and promising."


    As soon as Bai was about to boast about his son, he heard an''s reply: "I don''t dare to be my cousin, not to mention that my cousin was one year younger than my husband. And my cousin''s brother, who won the first prize at the age of 16. When I was in my mother''s family, I often heard my grandfather praise Lin as a brilliant talent with both literary and martial arts skills. What''s rare is that he is modest and polite, and he is not arrogant because he became famous when he was young


    Leisurely, seeing that the manners of an''s conversation were different from those of Bai''s mother and daughter, she couldn''t help looking up at her. Now after hearing this, she asked, "who is the lingzu? Have you ever seen my brother? "


    "My grandfather used to be a bachelor in Hanlin Academy. He worked with Lin Zhuangyuan for some time, but now he''s gone home," she said with a smile


    Leisurely said with a smile, "the academician who became an official, is it because his father is an Cheng ren''an?"


    An Shi nods to answer a way "exactly, originally cousin sister-in-law also knows my grandfather."


    "When I was in my mother''s house, I helped my younger brother prepare birthday gifts for lingzu, so I had some impression. I remember my younger brother said that lingzu was one of the few people in the Hanlin Academy who devoted himself to academic research. He could be called a gifted scholar Leisurely pause, and then said, "I didn''t expect that my sister-in-law is actually the granddaughter of an adults, it''s really getting closer." Just don''t know each other is Di is Shu, said Shu out of it, see bearing is not like. If he came out and glanced at Bai''s mother and daughter leisurely, who would be willing to marry his granddaughter to such a family? Xu Jiazong used to be brilliant, but now he is in the end. When Mr. an became an official, he was also a senior official of four grades. And she remembers that there are some good relatives in the family, even the common women, who don''t have to marry to such families


    If you can''t figure it out, you put it aside and asked with a leisurely smile, "since you are here to prepare for the exam, can you find a place to live?"


    Before Bai''s mouth, an replied with a smile, "we also know that it''s a bit abrupt to come here rashly. Originally, my husband and I planned to come to live in my aunt''s house in Beijing. But last month, my uncle suddenly ordered the outgoing governor of Hunan, and my aunt also took office. We and the messenger happened to be in two places. We didn''t know about it until we came to the capital. Although the servants left by my aunt also said that the yard had been cleaned up and let us just stay. It''s just that when the master''s home is not here, how can we bother him so much that we have the honor to come to my cousin''s home. "


    Hearing this, leisurely mind quickly turned around, thinking of the Imperial Palace newspaper I read last month, it turned out that the cousin''s uncle was the original right servant of the household department, Mr. Pei Boyuan. The right chamberlain of Hubu is a senior official of the third grade, while the external governor is a senior official of the second grade. Think of here, leisurely more strange, Ann''s family is so strong, how can marry to the Xu family. She was puzzled, but she said with a smile, "what''s the matter? Relatives should have helped each other. Don''t say that there is no one in your aunt''s family now. Even if there is someone, there is no one who let your husband''s relatives stay and let you stay with your mother''s relatives. Let outsiders see, don''t you laugh at me and your cousin. " Then asked, salute still on the carriage did not lift down, chagrin way "look at me, patronize the gossip for a long time, unexpectedly forget the business."


    Then the busy man went to help carry the luggage, and told Liu Ye, "go and see them in person, and pack up the Songtao courtyard and peony garden in the northwest corner for my aunt''s family."


    Turning to Bai''s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he said, "this Songtao courtyard used to be the place where our ancestors studied when they were young. It''s better than the pure and bright hall. It''s suitable for reading. There''s also a corner door leading to the street. It''s convenient for cousins to get together with classmates. There is a small courtyard next to the courtyard, in which various peony flowers are planted. There are still many blooming flowers at this time of the year. It''s suitable for my aunt and my cousin to live in


    Although he is snobbish, he knows that he is under the eaves of others, so he says with a smile, "that''s really bothering my niece and daughter-in-law."


    An Shi sent a close servant girl to pack things with Liu Ye. After a while, the servant girl took two old women to carry a box and put it in the middle of the hall. An Shi pointed to the box and said with a smile, "this box is full of earth instruments from Jinzhou. It''s nothing valuable. I just put it in the salute. I hope my cousin doesn''t have to refuse. "


    Bai didn''t know that her daughter-in-law had prepared such a big box for the Shen family. She immediately felt that her daughter-in-law was also a bit of a black sheep, but she didn''t speak well in front of outsiders, but she didn''t look very well.


    Leisurely see each other said sincerely, then smile and say, "in this case, I''m partial to the good things of my aunt." She thought, fortunately, there is an understanding person in the family, so that they can keep up with each other. Bai Shi hears leisurely thanks of is oneself, in the heart just feel a little better, connect busy way "should, so far of come, always can''t empty hand door."


    Smell speech, an Shi sighs in the heart, since this reason you all understand, how didn''t see you do some practical things, she this is what life, spread up such a mother-in-law and small sister-in-law? Turning to see leisurely smile at her, I feel a little more comfortable. Fortunately, this cousin is a reasonable one. If she is a little more mean, I''m afraid she would have been dissatisfied?

 Chapter 297

    When an Shi was thinking about it, he heard a sound of footwork. Then he saw four or five servant girls coming in with a young girl.


    After the girl came in, she first saluted leisurely. Leisurely, she quickly pointed to the white family and introduced them to her one by one.


    This time or an Shi lets the servant girl present double meeting gift, say is oneself and mother-in-law two people. Shen Xi looked at Bai''s mother and daughter''s behavior, but under the hint of his sister-in-law, he still pretended to be just like it was. However, soon she could not bear it, the opposite yinlian''s eyes were too wild, staring at her head and feet.


    Shen Xi had never seen such an impudent person again. After all, she was young and soon couldn''t hang on to her face. Leisurely see her face is not good, afraid that she can''t help shaking face again, immediately said with a smile, "today, the wind is strong outside, I see your bun some loose, quickly go back to the room to wash, later directly to the next room to eat."


    Out of the main courtyard, Zhuzhi, Shen Xi''s maid, complained, "this girl Xu is so rude. Do you see her eyes? I haven''t come down from our girls


    Shen Xi frowned and said, "OK, how can we say that she is also our guest? How can she make such a fuss?" Zhu Zhi spat out her tongue, and then she didn''t dare to speak. Mei Xiang on one side nodded at her forehead. "How many times have you said that about you? Next time, you can''t say anything like this. If you make the girl angry, can you do something better?"


    Zhuzhi is still a little resentful, but Shen Xi has a big rule. When she sees that she''s already upset, she doesn''t dare to say anything.


    The silver lotus of this side chamber saw Shen Xi go, that vision still chased to go all the way, until can''t even see the back figure, just take back the vision. Leisurely is talking with an Shi about seeing the eight trigrams in Beijing. Bai Shi occasionally inserts a word, but yinlian can''t. She feels bored and starts to stay.


    She stretched her skirt, which was made for her by her sister-in-law with her dowry material. It is said that it is also brocade in Beijing. It was a rare thing when she was in Jinzhou. She was not willing to wear it. This time she went to Beijing to find it. But it''s far from the material that Shen''s eldest daughter wore just now. She can''t see what the material is. It''s just that it''s glossy in the light. The embroidery on her clothes is exquisite. It''s a folded orchid. It''s elegant to look at. And the peacock red gold hairpin with pearl on her head. The tassel seems to be strung with five colored gems. The ruby falling from the bottom is really neat. In addition to the peacock hairpin, Shen Xi only wore a half moon shaped comb and a butterfly hairpin on his head. He didn''t have all the pearls on his head, but he made people feel incomparable.


    Yinlian secretly felt the gold hairpin on her head. She suddenly felt that even if she was full of pearls and gold hairpins, she would be compared with others.


    After a while, the servant girl said that the lunch had been finished, and leisurely led them to the dining room next door. Because Bai had the longest seniority, leisurely had to push her to the seat. He pushed an''s and yinlian to the first place on their left and right hands. They still wanted to refuse, but leisurely insisted on letting them sit. "You are guests from afar. Today is the first time to visit. It''s the right time." They gave way and sat down.


    As soon as they sat down, Shen Xi came with her servant girl. Seeing that everyone had already sat down, she said with a smile, "I''m late." "No, we''ve just sat down. Cousin, please come and sit down." With that, Shen Xi sat beside him.


    Leisurely seeing this, he sat beside yinlian. Yinlian looks at Shen Xi for a while and changes into Zhuang Shu. Instead of the light red dress she just wore, she changes into a long skirt and a white pleated skirt embroidered with broccoli and blue lotus. The jewelry on her head was also taken off. She only wore a few small flower hairpins, which made her face more delicate and small. Only the eighteen Jadeites hanging on the lapel and a pair of watery jadeite round bracelets on the hand show a low-key luxury.


    Not to mention Shen Xi, you ran didn''t wear much jewelry except the five tailed Phoenix hairpin. But yinlian felt that their every move was indescribably good-looking. Even the servant girls who came and went in the house didn''t look very good at first sight, but when they looked carefully, they all dressed up appropriately. Yinlian looked at the gold bracelet with thick fingers on her hand. In the past, her mother always said that gold ornaments were valuable. She thought that it was beautiful to wear more gold ornaments. But now it seems that it''s not the same thing. Thinking like this, she has always been so open that she is rarely silent.


    Sitting opposite yinlian, an Shi seldom sees her sister-in-law in such a quiet manner. She says that she is very good at her long life. If she can make more progress in etiquette, she can really find a good family in two years.


    Just thinking about this, a group of servant girls came in from the outside, holding a copper basin in one hand and handing it to the people. The main reason is that these copper basins are relatively small and delicate, which are not the same as ordinary basins. Where has yinlian seen such a battle? She is at a loss. She looks at her sister-in-law. Yinlian saw that her sister-in-law put her hands into the basin to wash, and then she looked at her sister-in-law leisurely, so she learned the same way. She was careful not to spill the water out of the basin. After washing it twice, she felt that the water was really smooth. At this time, there was a fragrance of flowers in the basin. She couldn''t help but raise a hand and put it on the tip of her nose to sniff. Who would have thought that the servant girl of the copper basin would take the basin away directly. Then a maid came up with a red paint tray in her hand and a snow-white towel in it. Yinlian picked up the towel to clean her hands just like her sister-in-law. When the maid saw that she had wiped it, she retreated.


    Then several women came in with two or three big food boxes. As soon as the boxes were opened, the room was filled with fragrance. Bai''s original intention is to say a few words of laughter, but seeing this room full of ten or twenty servant girl''s sons unexpectedly don''t smell a voice of speaking cough, also don''t dare to speak.


    After a while, the food was all set on the table, and the women carrying the boxes went out one after another. Several servant girls also went to the door and stood. There were only four or five people in the room who were dressed differently from their weight, waiting for the soup.


    Leisurely just said at the beginning, "please have a taste of the Beijing cuisine." Said to do a please gesture, Bai smile picked up chopsticks, "nephew daughter-in-law also please." Then he reached for a chopstick dish.


    Although most of the big families pay attention to "no words for food, no words for sleep", when they come all the way, they can''t keep a straight face and don''t say a word, so they have to say a few words during the dinner. It made all three of the Xu family like her a little more.

 Chapter 298

    They eat in the backyard, and a table is set up in front of the guest house. The steward of the family and Shen Jiang accompany Uncle Xu to eat.


    Although Bai''s mother and daughter are somewhat out of tune, the good thing is that the basic etiquette of dining is still passable. Leisurely doesn''t know that this is the result of more than ten years'' hard work under the guidance of the Xu family. Anyway, as long as it''s OK on the whole.


    Fortunately, in the midst of national filial piety, the official''s home can not drink and have fun, so it also saves a lot of trouble, just eat at ease.


    To the back, leisurely see everyone eat almost put down the chopsticks. After a while, a servant girl came up with a copper basin and a spittoon to wash her hands and mouth. Bai''s mother and daughter had never seen such a battle, so they had to learn leisurely''s manner. Even an''s heart also secretly smacks tongue, this cousin is really worthy of coming out of the government, this behavior is more fastidious than his aunt.


    After washing, Liu Ye came in and said a few words in leisurely ear. Leisurely got up and said with a smile, "today''s preparation is in a hurry, please don''t despise our neglect. My aunt, sister-in-law and cousin have been working hard, and the courtyard has been cleaned up. Why don''t we go and have a rest first, and when my husband comes back in the evening, we''ll hold a banquet for all of you. "


    She didn''t feel anything at all. When she said that, several people really felt very tired, so they all left one after another and went to the front yard to have a rest.


    Leisurely see them go far, went back to his house, Shen Xi also followed past. Entering the leisurely inner room, Shen Xi saw that there was no one else around him, so he puffed his mouth and said, "sister-in-law, I don''t like that cousin of the Xu family. It''s really impolite. He stares at me straight away. I''ve never seen anything like that again."


    Wen Yan leisurely smile "I think it''s very good, you haven''t seen such before, don''t you see now? How old are you now? You still have a long way to go. Maybe you will meet more rude people in the future. Whether you like it or not, some people can''t be avoided. Since they can''t be avoided, you have to learn how to get along with them. "


    Although Shen Xi was not happy, he thought his sister-in-law''s words were reasonable, so he went back to his room sullen. When she left, Su he saw that leisurely was rubbing her eyebrows and quickly came forward to help her remove her head. Leisurely said, "how do you feel dizzy?"


    Su he said, "grandma got up early this morning, and this morning she didn''t stop. Naturally, she couldn''t stand it. Would you like me to press your head? " Leisurely nodded, Su he gently pressed on leisurely''s head with his finger pulp.


    But she said that she followed the maid back to the guest house. First, she took her mother-in-law back to the peony garden where she and her aunt lived. She saw that there were many peony flowers in the garden. There are all kinds of scarlet, bright red and pink. Although this season has passed its peak, it is still full of flowers. Seeing the flowers all over the yard, yinlian was satisfied.


    The courtyard is not small. There are three main rooms in the north and two West rooms in the south. It''s the most suitable place for Bai''s mother and daughter and their servant girls. When he entered the room, Bai was even more satisfied with the bright new bedding and colorful porcelain. There are three main rooms. There is a shelf bed in the west room and a big Kang in the east room.


    Bai said to yinlian, "this room is very spacious. You can sleep with me in this room." Silver lotus drum mouth, she is so big already don''t want to live a room with others, leave a "I go to the next room to see." After that, she ran to the West ear room. She almost fell in love with this room at a glance. Although it is a little small, it has all kinds of internal organs, including shelf bed, wardrobe, dressing table and desk. There is also a new set of four treasures of study on the desk. The rest of the furnishings are pretty things that girls like. Obviously, this room is for yinlian.


    Seeing that her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were only happy, she had to smile at Liu Ye and say, "thank you, miss."


    Liu Ye replied, "I don''t dare to be a slave. It''s all what I should do. All the things in this room are arranged and delivered by our eldest girl. Otherwise, it''s really hard to find the furnishings for the young girl''s family An Shi saw that the bed curtain was the appearance of red plum embroidered on the white background of the moon. It was elegant and simple, so it was really appropriate to choose it. Immediately for Shen''s thoughtful enthusiasm feel happy, and some can''t wait to see what kind of yard they live in. In fact, Shen Xi also likes the embroidery on this bed account, but sometimes she is more particular than leisurely. This bed account was sent by a merchant outside. She dislikes that the source is not clear. Even if she likes it, she has never used it. It''s just that she took it as a favor this time.


    Fortunately, Bai''s temperament won''t make an wait too long. She looked at the East ear room and the west chamber, and found that the furnishings in them had obviously dropped several grades. Liu Ye said with a smile, "these two rooms are for my aunt and my cousin''s maids. If you don''t have anything, just go and ask for it


    Bai Shi waved his hand. "I see this is very good. It''s also the blessing of Tuo ze''er. They haven''t lived in such a good house at home. Let''s go and have a look at big brother''s house. "


    As soon as I entered the Songtao courtyard, I first saw two tall pine trees in the courtyard. These two pine trees were thick and thin, tall and straight. The slightest breeze, it will be issued bursts of "Susu" sound, no wonder it will be called Songtao courtyard. The yard is no smaller than the peony garden, except for the pine tree, there is only a bunch of green bamboo planted in front of the West Wing house and a set of stone tables in the yard. Besides, there are no other flowers.


    But there are a lot of rooms in this courtyard. Although they are also three upright and two eared, they have everything from east to West Wing rooms, kitchens and inverted seats. A moon door separates a west chamber from the inverted one, and there is a corner door next to the inverted one. As she looked at it, she nodded in her heart. The courtyard that the cousin arranged for her family was really good. There is a corner door in the kitchen. It''s convenient for them to buy and cook at home. A few male servants are suitable to be arranged in the reverse room. The Western chamber outside can be used as a temporary place for guests. It''s really cheap everywhere.


    But Bai was not satisfied. When he came into the main room, he saw that the colors of the furnishings and utensils in the room were very light. Although he was satisfied, he muttered, "isn''t this too plain?"


    Seeing Liu Ye and other servants of the Shen family talking in the yard, an Shi grabbed her mother-in-law''s sleeve and said, "mother can''t say that again. If the host family doesn''t like it, we really have to stay in the inn."


    Remembering that he spent more than thirty taels of silver in the inn for one night yesterday, Bai Shifang was speechless. When she first arrived in the capital, she didn''t experience anything else. The house price really surprised her. Now she only opened three upper rooms and two lower rooms. The big maids all hit the floor, otherwise they would spend more. In addition, because she said something wrong, it was difficult for the family to continue to live in Ann''s aunt''s house, so they would not dare to speak after listening to her daughter-in-law''s words.


    Just then, Xu Changhui, the elder of the Xu family, came in.

 Chapter 299

    He said with a smile, "what''s up, mother, is the room tidy and elegant?"


    Bai''s first uncomfortable smile, and then see LiuYe and others are far away, he frowned and said, "I see that I and your sister''s yard is well tidied up, how can your yard be so quiet. You don''t even have a piece of valuable furnishings. If you have a classmate or something to visit, how ugly is it? "


    Xu Changhui frowned and said, "mother, I look at the light and elegant yard. It suits me very much. If it is as colorful as my mother''s house, how can I study quietly? What''s more, it''s very good for people to give us a place to live. What else do you want to do? It''s not like we didn''t bring anything. You can''t say that again. If you let your son hear mother''s broken mouth like this again, don''t blame my son for my impoliteness. "


    The Bai family was not afraid of his late husband, but he was afraid of his eldest son. Sure enough, hearing Xu Changhui''s words, Bai quickly covered his mouth.


    Xu Changhui was not angry and said, "remember your son''s words, talk less and mind your own business. If you have nothing to do, stay in your own yard and don''t wander around." Then he took a look at his sister who was looking around, and said in a deep voice, "yinlian, remember that this is not your own home in Jinzhou. In the future, you must be calm and sensible. You must not make it public. You should listen to your sister-in-law more. Look at you. You don''t look like a big girl at all. Take advantage of the opportunity to come to the capital this time to learn from others the style of a lady from a big family. Don''t follow your mother to learn from that little family. It''s a joke! "


    On hearing this, Bai''s almost anxious, "how do you say that? How am I so mean?" Xu Changhui was not angry and said, "if it wasn''t for my mother, could we be so embarrassed yesterday? Have you settled in the governor''s house long ago? "


    Hearing this, Bai Shi just said nothing. Xu Changhui sighed, "well, I''ve seen all the rooms. There''s nothing to look at. After such a long journey, my mother should have a rest. " Bai''s just left with her daughter.


    After su he pressed it like this, it was much more comfortable and his head was not dizzy. Leisurely half squinting eyes to enjoy, I think I have been used to this kind of clothes to stretch out my hand, food to open my mouth day, in case I accidentally wear it back, I don''t know whether I can adapt to modern life? Su he pressed her and said, "I see that girl Xu is doing something different. Since she lives in our family, she can''t help but be a companion with the big girl. Will our big girl suffer from such a soft temper?"


    "No, I don''t think the rules of yinlian are proper, but Grandma Xu knows the rules. As long as grandma Xu looks at her, she can''t go out of her way. Moreover, sister Xi will always marry out in the future. No matter how much I love her, I can''t stay with her for a lifetime. She has been at home in recent years, which has been a little wronged? Now this silver lotus just gives her temper, standing in front of us, is to suffer some grievances is also limited. It''s better than going out of the cabinet in the future and learning about human relations and social affairs. "


    Su he said with a smile, "it''s very thoughtful of grandma to think about the big girl."


    Leisurely sighed, "her mother left early. I grew up looking after her for so many years. Although she is my sister-in-law, I feel painful as a daughter. Naturally, I only hope that she will be well." Su he said, "of course, you''ve prepared a dowry for the eldest girl. Who''s a sister-in-law? She''s as careful to her sister-in-law as you are." A while ago, when leisurely ordered furniture for the new house, I saw a timber merchant there had some excellent red sandalwood wood, but the quantity was small. At most, it could be used as a royal couch, so it was always in his warehouse. Leisurely didn''t plan to use red sandalwood wood in the new house. After all, it was too conspicuous, but she bought it to prepare for her dowry in the future. In addition, some yellow pear trees and a few rare Phoebe trees were also planted. If you can buy some precious wood like this, you can save it for a few years.


    Leisurely ha ha a smile "that also must be Xi elder sister son sensible, I just love her.". If it''s someone else, do you think I''m willing to worry about it? "


    Later, leisurely really couldn''t open her eyes, so she fell asleep on the concubine''s couch. Seeing this, Su he took a thin blanket and gently covered her. Then he stepped back to the outer room and picked up the needle and thread basket to make needle and thread. Although there is a sewing room in the house now, it''s their big servant girls who make the intimate clothes of leisurely mother and son. Liu Yena''s sole is the best, Gan song''s embroidery is the best, and Su he''s embroidery is mediocre. Fortunately, she does the fastest work, so she makes most of the mother and son''s bedclothes. Horizontal and vertical bedclothes are worn in the house, leisurely and always do not like to embroider any embroidery on the bedclothes, which is just what she does.


    With a low brow, an sent her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to the door and saw that they were far away. Just smile to willow leaf say "today thanks to willow leaf girl, girl hard." Said to take a purse from the servant girl''s hand to pass in the past "a little mind, the girl don''t want to dislike." Liu Ye took the purse with a smile and bowed to thank him. Then he pointed to a woman and a little servant girl and said, "these people will stay here first and give orders to grandma. If there is something missing, just let someone get it."


    Ann''s heart a joy, she is worried in this house two eyes a black, there are so two people in how can also inquire about some news, now smile deeper. Seeing that there was no other business in the yard, Liu Ye said with a smile, "if my cousin and grandmother don''t have any orders, my maidservant won''t disturb my grandmother. I''ll leave first." After that, he turned and left.


    Looking at each other''s graceful figure, an''s heart sighed, even the servant girls in this family were so outspoken. In contrast, his sister-in-law is really compared to a slag.


    She sighed and went back to the room. She didn''t sleep well last night. Today, she has been socializing for a long time. ANN is really tired. She sat down on the Lohan couch in the room and kneaded her shoulders. Xu Changhui came to help her press it and said with a smile, "grandma has been involved in these two days. I''ll be a good husband and serve her." Generally help her knead shoulder, generally call maid to make tea, that familiar look is used to. An Shi was used for some time, and naturally praised his Xianggong. "Xianggong''s skill is really more and more refined."


    Xu Changhui said with a smile, "is that right? It seems that even if you don''t live in Chunwei, you don''t have to worry about having no livelihood to support your family. " Smell speech, an Shi hurriedly spat two, "you say this is what frustrated words, that is this subject is not, you are still so young, there will always be test time, later can not say such unlucky words."

 Chapter 300

    Xu Changhui quickly coaxed, "well, it''s wrong for my husband. I will never say that again." Just as the maid brought the tea in, she was used to seeing the couple''s greasy and crooked appearance. She put down the teacup and then backed down. Xu Changhui personally took a cup of tea and handed it to an Shi, "Nuo, I''ve made amends for my wife by replacing wine with tea for my husband. I''ll be very angry and try to win the entrance examination as soon as possible. How about being a wife and son in the future?"


    An Shi white he one eye, took tea cup to hum a way "this is almost."


    Xu Changhui asked again, "did my mother and sister make any trouble today?" On hearing this, an''s immediately headache, "it''s not really that I want to speak ill of my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Their rules are really too bad." With that, he said about their style.


    Then he sighed, "I see our cousin is open-minded and transparent. She doesn''t care about it. It''s just that our family won''t go out any more? If Xianggong is really successful, our family will stay in Jingzhong. In the past, even in Jinzhou, our family did not associate with those official families. Everyone''s rules were almost the same. No one had to laugh at anyone. But this is in the capital. Any stone that falls can hit a prince or nobleman. How can it be good if you don''t get into trouble with your daughter? I''m afraid it will affect my husband''s future. "


    Xu Changhui thought of his mother''s temperament, but also very helpless, thought for a long time before he said, "I''ll talk to my mother about this again. You can rest assured and give it to me. It''s just my mother. At this age, I don''t want to let her go out. It''s my sister. She will always talk about others in the future, but we can''t see her as she is now, let alone others. In the future, Mrs. Lao will have to give her a lot of hard work. "


    Wen Yan an sighed, "I''m not afraid of hard work, but my mother is used to it, and my sister will be spoiled sooner or later."


    Xu Changhui frowned and said, "this is not good. Even if she goes back to Jinzhou, she can''t look like this. It''s all my fault. I''ve been away from home and studying hard in the Academy these years. I didn''t realize that my sister was spoiled by her mother. Her rules must be taught. If not, it will affect our daughter''s marriage in the future. "


    How could this topic be related to her daughter? She thumped her husband and said, "what do you think? I haven''t seen her anywhere!" Xu Changhui ran over her shoulder and said, "sooner or later, I will have it." Ann chuckled, but she was also worried. She had been married to her husband for more than half a year, but there was no news. Now I can still take words to support her. If there is no news in the new year, I''m afraid my mother-in-law will show her face.


    Leisurely sleeps vaguely, hears a burst of speech sound, then closes the eye to ask "who has come?" Then I heard the voice of Yulian ring, "it''s me. I just came back from the princess and brought something for you. If you want to sleep, just sleep a little longer. I''ll go back to my room first. "


    While speaking, leisurely has sat up, "what are you doing in such a hurry? I''ll get up now. You wait for me for a while, and I''ll clean up."


    Seeing that she was still in a daze, Yulian said with a smile, "then wash yourself first. I''ll go back to my room and change my clothes. I''ll come back later."


    Leisurely nodded, "well, by the way, the guests are coming. They are a cousin and family member of your brother-in-law. They want to stay in our house for a while."


    The jade lotus doubts of ask a way "brother-in-law''s cousin? Didn''t you say that his uncle had only one cousin and two cousins? "


    Leisurely back to the way "is our old lady''s nephew and grandson, Jinzhou Xu family, you come later, I''ll tell you more." It''s rare to see her hair scattered like this. Yulian went out with a smile.


    After about half an hour, the sun is about to sink, the jade lotus just Shi ran came. Leisurely has finished last month''s account book. Seeing her coming over, she joked, "you''ve changed your clothes for almost an afternoon, so you haven''t changed them until tomorrow morning."


    Yu Lian spat at her and said with a smile, "I''ve been running for a long time, can''t I go back to my room to have a rest? It''s hard for me to bring you your favorite Begonia cake and hibiscus cake. " After listening to Yulian''s words, leisurely busy asked "you also brought snacks back, why didn''t I see?" Liu Ye took a food box from the Kang Table and said with a smile, "just now I took it and put it conveniently. I thought grandma was not hungry, but I didn''t see it."


    Leisurely patted his forehead and said, "look at my head. I''m really confused. Just now I looked at this food box for several times, but I didn''t see the mark on it. I''ve been busy for a long time, but I''m really hungry. Willow leaves, go and make a pot of good Dianhong. This heart needs black tea. "


    Jade lotus annoys her one eye: "you blind fastidious.". By the way, what did you tell me about the relatives of the Xu family? " That''s what it is. Uncle Xu''s grandfather is our old lady''s brother. He and our uncle are also serious cousins. But since I got married, I haven''t seen the two families move around. This matter, Xianggong did not say, I did not ask. But people come all the way from Jinzhou, and I can''t push it out. They have to stay here first. If there are any other worries, they have to wait for the prime minister to come back and make decisions. "


    Yulian nodded, "this is, even if I haven''t moved around for many years, there will be relatives in my family. Your family is not bad for those things now. Let''s just eat and drink, not to mention the whole face of my brother-in-law. Even outsiders can''t pick out your reason."


    "My cousin knows me, that''s what I think. By the way, why didn''t you see taoliang? "


    Yulian sighed, "I went to see Yutan, and took taoliang to greet the princess by the way. The princess insisted that she stay in the palace for two days, and the child was sincere. She agreed to stay with her, but I couldn''t help worrying. "


    Leisurely clap her hand, "the princess has always liked girls. She likes taoliang, which is also taoliang''s nature. Not to mention anything else, it''s the manner of the princess and the etiquette of the old people in the palace around her. As long as taoliang can learn something, it''s enough for her to be useful all her life. "


    Yulian said with a bitter smile, "I know what you said. I''m afraid that taoliang is young. If he is lost by the wealth of the palace, he can''t get used to the civilian life any more, how can he be good?"


    Leisurely comfort way "won''t, I see Tao Liang is a smart sensible child, the princess is also looking at it. What''s more, a girl needs to broaden her horizons. Now that she has seen the wealth of the palace, what else can she be confused by? "


    The jade lotus listens to leisurely say of also have some of truth, horizontal vertical her that daughter is a have an idea, the truth that the mouth says a set of, also don''t know to follow whose temperament.


    They were just talking when AI Xiang, the maid, said, "Granny Xu is coming." Leisurely asked, "is she alone?" AI Xiang nodded, "only granny Xu and her maid."

 Chapter 301

    Although some wonder how Xu Anshi came by himself, leisurely still let people invite him in. Ann didn''t expect that there would be outsiders in the room. She was a little surprised, but she soon calmed down. Leisurely pointed to Yulian and said with a smile, "this is my mother''s cousin."


    In the afternoon, Mrs. an had already found out from the servants that in addition to the five members of the Shen family, there lived Shen Jiang, a younger brother of Shen Ze''s family, and the mother and daughter of the eldest grandmother''s mother''s cousin. An Shi also heard that this Lin Niang son is and leave to return home, today''s world way woman and leave already count as nothing important. She is just curious about how she didn''t go back to her mother''s home after she left, but went to her cousin''s home to live.


    But it''s a private matter. Ann''s face is smiling and says, "when I go back at noon, I''ll leave my cousin to stay in the house. My uncle is very happy. He praises his sister-in-law for their kindness and thoughtfulness. He also says that the courtyard is clean and convenient. Let me have a good life. Thank you, cousin


    Leisurely smile back way "are their own relatives, this is all should, don''t be so polite."


    Mrs. an laughed again. "I''m very grateful that my cousin will accept us. The furnishings and bedding in the guest house have already been very expensive. I''m determined not to let my cousin spend any more. So let me give my cousin the fee. It''s five hundred taels of silver. It''s our family''s food and clothing. Please don''t refuse. "


    Leisurely quickly waved his hand and said, "brother and sister, what are you doing? Take it back quickly. Our family''s relatives don''t have to be so outsider." They refused, and said with a leisurely smile, "I know that my cousins and cousins need face, but I really can''t accept the money. When it''s spread, people think that our family can''t even manage our relatives'' meals. "


    "It''s not a matter of a day or two," she said. "We all have more than a dozen people, big and small. We still have half a year to go from now to Chunwei. How can we take advantage of my cousin''s house?"


    At this time, the jade lotus in a side smile "I see this matter again simple, you don''t have to fight here to let go."


    When she heard her voice, she turned her eyes to this lady Lin. she only heard Yulian say with a smile, "I remember that there is a corner gate in Songtao courtyard which leads directly to the outside of the mansion. It''s cheap to go out to buy. The small kitchen in the yard is comprehensive. Why don''t you cook by yourself. The rest of them don''t have to leave the Shen family. Isn''t that all? "


    In fact, leisurely thinks so, but in the current world, she can''t take the initiative to say so. At that time, people pay much attention to relatives. If she is stingy, she will be stabbed in the spine.


    It''s just that Ann''s plan is not like this. After all, it''s not as happy as her own decision, is it? It''s just that she doesn''t want to go up and say she''s starting a gang, as if she hates her master''s family. Now there is a jade lotus such a mix, this matter happily settled down.


    Leisurely asks an Shi to take back the money. Later, the Songtao courtyard and the peony garden will open their own business. The flowers in the two yards will be covered without the Shen family''s accounting room''s worry. They are both satisfied. Well, leisurely admits that she is a bit hypocritical, but this is what everyone does these days, and sometimes she has to go with the flow.


    After Shen Ze came back in the evening, they met each other again. Leisurely, this time, they finally met the cousin of the Xu family. He saw his long sword eyebrows, star eyes and elegant demeanor. He thought that no wonder an''s family was so good, but he was willing to marry to the Xu family.


    That night, there were two more banquets. Shen Ze, the leader of the family, came back, and this meal was officially for the Xu family.


    After dinner, leisurely asked about the Xu family''s old story, "our two families are not far away from each other. How come we haven''t been around for several years?"


    Shen Ze replied, "when my cousin was here, I was still in Jinzhou at that time, and the two families were closer. When our father went, thanks to my cousin, he contacted a group of old relatives to support me. Otherwise, I might not be able to inherit the family business smoothly at that time. But my father just left for half a year, and my uncle suddenly got a cold. Later, his family has been observing filial piety, and there are fewer people walking around. In addition, the temperament of my aunt, you must have seen how I, an orphan without father or mother, can get into her eyes? In this way, the connection is gradually broken. " Leisurely know Shen Ze said although relaxed, but I think he must have suffered a lot in front of the white family. Otherwise, he would not be so disrespectful to his elders. At least he would have gone through the annual ceremony. Thinking of this, she hesitated and said, "I asked someone to send you a letter, but you didn''t return it. Today I still asked them to stay. Isn''t that..." Shen Ze patted her hand. "It''s OK. It''s just to keep them for a few days. It depends on the face of Uncle Xu, but you don''t have to be too careful. If they have something wrong, you don''t have to be too used to it. "


    Leisurely look at him and smile, "I understand, but I look at the cousins and cousins of the Xu family. They still follow the rules. I can''t go wrong."


    In this way, the Xu family stayed in leisurely home. An didn''t give Bai''s mother and daughter a chance to make a fool of herself. She directly asked an aunt who came out of the palace to teach yinlian the rules. Even Bai learned some etiquette at the insistence of Xu Changhui.


    Although Bai has always been known for her flamboyance and shrewdness, this aunt used to be a guard of the Department of criminal justice in the palace, and she was the best at punishing people. However, Bai had no temper at all, let alone yinlian, who was not very good at it. Within two months, leisurely feel that yinlian has been reborn, like a different person. At least, when we say goodbye, we have to sit and stand. When we come here to ask an Shi to say something more appropriate, our eyes are no longer so random, and our clothes are much more pleasing to the eye.


    Leisurely had to admire that the aunt in the palace could teach people, and then she was even more puzzled that an''s ability was not small, and she could get such an aunt. You know, although a group of maids and officials are released every year in the palace, they are very popular. They can''t be invited if they don''t have the ability. She is even more strange. How can Ann find such a mother-in-law because she is so powerful? If she knew that there was such a mother-in-law and sister-in-law, she would not want to marry even if she was killed. It would be too much of a bother?!


    But when I saw the end of the year, I was very busy with many affairs, such as checking accounts and going to the ceremony. I was very busy all day. Although she has left most of the housework in her family to Shen Xi, she still wants to divide herself into three parts. The main reason is that her dowry and public property are more and more.


    Originally only a few thin books, now there are two thick piles. Well, how to reduce the workload?

 Chapter 302

    That day leisurely called Shen Xi over and asked with a smile, "how are you feeling recently? Are you tired of handling these affairs?"


    Shen Xi smiles and shakes his head. "I''m used to it. I don''t feel tired."


    After hearing this, he said with a leisurely smile and clapping his hands, "it''s so good. I was a little nervous at first, but now I''m relieved to hear you say so." Then he pushed a small brocade box on the table to Shen Xi and said, "this is for you. Open it and have a look."


    Shen Xi some surprised to open the box, saw inside put two pieces of paper, she opened a look, but found two contracts, can''t help but surprised way "what is this?"


    Leisurely smile patted her hand, "in a twinkling of an eye, you become a big girl. It''s 14 years since the new year''s Eve, and it''s time to learn something. I bought this Chuang Tzu for you with my private house. It''s not big, but it''s about 200 mu in the west suburb. And this shop, which your elder brother bought for you, is on Gulou Street. In the future, such things are your private property. You should learn to take care of them by yourself. Take these two small shops and small Chuang Tzu to practice first, so that you will not have difficulty in managing big Chuang Tzu in the future. What''s more, you''re getting older now, you''ve got more communication outside, and you can be more generous if you have an input in your hand. "


    Shen Xi''s eyes were red, and he said, "I''ve always been generous. I don''t have the dowry silver left by my parents, that is, my sister-in-law. Besides the monthly silver, she always gives me pocket money. How can I be too difficult? Since these things belong to my brother and sister-in-law, they should be left to my two nephews. Why did you give them to me? "


    Leisurely smile and touch her hair "silly children, they all have it. Our family''s life is getting better and better now. They are indispensable in the future. This is for you. Just keep it. "


    Just then, a maid opened the curtain and came in. "Sister Lin is back. She''s coming to greet grandma and the big girl."


    Leisurely smile "Oh, this girl can be regarded as willing to come back." Then he motioned to Shen Xi to put things away. Shen Xi quickly wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and asked his servant girl to put things away.


    After a while, taoliang came in wearing a new dress and said with a smile, "taoliang has come to greet his aunt."


    Leisurely quickly pulled her to his side, asked with a smile, "cold?" Then she was wearing a red fox fur cape and a Guanyin bag of the same color on her head. Leisurely helped her to take off the Guanyin bag and cloak. She saw that although only two bags were tied on her head, two longan pearls were dropped on the tassels. Leisurely can''t help laughing, "it seems that you have coaxed a lot of good things from the princess."


    After hearing this, taoliang said, "I didn''t coax the princess. It''s all from her own initiative." Then he looked around and said, "I just went back to my room and didn''t see my mother. She wasn''t here either. Where did she go?"


    Leisurely scraping her little nose, "it''s hard for you to think of your mother. I thought you were happy at the princess''s house. The old lady who was next to you is pregnant. It seems that she is not very well pregnant. Your mother has gone to visit her, and she thinks she will come back soon. "


    Taoliang saw that his mother was not there, and he was a little sad for a moment. Leisurely is about to coax her, see a servant girl to come in again say "Chen Niang Zi is coming."


    Leisurely for a moment, he was stunned. When he saw the comer, he said with a smile, "long time no see. How is your mother? Why are you here in person today? " Then he asked her to sit on the top. Seeing the guests coming, Shen Xi leads Tao Liang to the East warm pavilion with her after the ceremony.


    Chen said with a smile, "I should have come earlier, but my family has been constantly trifling. It''s so easy today. When I have some free time, I''m busy to say hello to my wife. My wife doesn''t think I''m presumptuous. "


    I haven''t seen you for many days. Chen is not the widowed concubine who lost her husband when she first met leisurely. Leisurely see each other''s clothes, although there is still no gorgeous color, but the dress has no difference with ordinary ladies. I think Mr. Chen should have done a good job in the palace. These thoughts just flashed by in a flash. When he heard the other party''s words, he said leisurely, "lady, where are these words? I''m afraid I won''t be invited here. It''s just that there was a heavy snow a few days ago. The road is muddy and hard to walk. It''s hard for the lady to come all the way. " Chen''s embarrassed smile "said to be ashamed, these days girl body is not comfortable, originally also did not plan to come to harass. But my master has a classmate who lives here. His wife has just been born. At that time, the family did not miss our mother and three, so I came to give her some full moon gifts and came to see her by the way. "


    Wen Yan shook his head with a leisurely smile. "What''s the matter here? It''s wonderful for you to come here and remember me. By the way, what''s wrong with your elder sister? How are you doing now? "


    Chen replied, "there''s no serious illness. It''s just that the wind blew that day and there was a little fever and runny nose. It was not hot yesterday, so I dare to go out today."


    Leisurely nodded: "children''s physique is weaker, and they are always more prone to get sick than adults. We mothers, when we see children suffering from illness, we all want to suffer for her."


    After a few words of gossip, Chen looked at the sky outside and said, "it''s a gloomy day. I''m afraid it''s going to snow, so I won''t stay any longer. I''ll come and greet my wife when I have time. "


    Leisurely quickly stood up to retain "lady, it''s so easy to come here, why don''t you stay for a while?" Chen said with a smile, "when I left in the morning, my elder sister was still coughing. I was also worried about it. It''s better to go back early."


    Hearing this, leisurely understanding smile, "when a mother, always thinking about the child. By the way, there are loquat fruits and Sydney just sent by someone else in this family. They are used to clear lung and relieve cough, and children are willing to eat them. I''ll have someone bring you some. " Then he pointed to the willow leaves and took them.


    Chen did not refuse, said with a smile, "then I will not be polite to my wife." Then she saw that there were still two servant girls in the room. She hesitated for a moment. She seemed to have something to say, so she said to the two servant girls with a smile, "you two go to see how Mrs. Chen''s carriage is going, and one goes to tell Liu Ye that she can bring two more brocades to Mrs. Chen."


    The servant girls agreed to go out. When they heard that the footsteps were far away, Chen stood up and said with a smile, "thank you, madam." Then he said in a low voice, "my brother asked me to tell his wife that Wei got the handle on the empress and wanted to force her to pray outside the palace. The Duke of Chu has brought back the princess of Chu and her mother''s family. Now he is playing the role of filial son in front of the emperor every day. It seems that the emperor intends to restore the position of empress Wei a few years ago. "


    Leisurely a Leng, even if it''s true, what do you mean to tell yourself such a thing?

 Chapter 303

    When Chen saw her appearance, he hurriedly added, "I don''t know who has made a slander on the emperor. Now the empress is empowered to be put under house arrest, surrounded by the emperor''s eyeliner. My brother also took a great risk to let me come. He said that he would only tell his wife the news. As for whether his wife would believe it or not, it was up to her to decide. "


    There is something strange about it. It''s hard to make a decision for a while. Just at this time, LiuYe had packed up and brought it. Seeing this, Chen said goodbye to leisurely with a smile. "Take care, madam. I''ll go first."


    Leisurely dizzy to send Chen away, watching her carriage go far away, still some struggle and tangle in my heart. Mr. Chen asked Mr. Chen to tell her what this meant? Do you want to tell Shen Tian through her? However, could it be someone else''s game to lead her into the urn?


    Even if these two things are true, what can she do after telling Shen Tian? Can she stop the empress from going out of the palace to pray, or can she stop Princess Wei from returning?


    Just as she hesitated, Liu Ye came in and said, "grandma, the princess has sent her mother-in-law and servant girl to come here. She said that she is going to take the eldest girl to the palace for a few days. She also said that Miss Xiang is there."


    What a coincidence? Leisurely is thinking about how to deliver the words, and the opportunity comes. Is it too coincidental? So leisurely asked, "who''s the one who''s coming to meet you? Do you have a good host? "


    Liu Ye replied, "it''s the ink painting around the empress and the frequent mother Liu." Hearing these two people, he put a snack leisurely. These two were the sons of Shen''s family, and they were also the people Shen Tian had to use.


    She was just about to ask someone to tell Shen Xi. Shen Xi had trotted in all the way. Just listen to the "pedal pedal pedal" a sound, to the door just stopped, and then saw Shen Xi himself opened the curtain came in, still holding a post.


    Leisurely, she didn''t even wear big clothes., At the moment, he said, "it''s ridiculous. I don''t know how to put on thick clothes on such a cold day. How far is it from your yard? If you catch cold, where else can you go? "


    Wen Yan Shen Xi chuckles and spits out her tongue, then walks to leisurely and shakes her arm gently. "Well, sister-in-law, I''m afraid again when I''m wrong. Don''t be angry, sister-in-law!"


    Leisurely is entangled by her can''t, have to nod her head "say, this time Xiang sister what ghost idea?"


    Shen Xi looked at the post in his hand, and then said with a smile, "sister Xiang went to the palace with her second aunt yesterday. She stopped by and lived there. Today, when she saw that there was a green calyx in the palace and the plum blossom was just in bloom, she invited me to have a look. There was also sister Tong of my aunt''s family, who said that she wanted to set up a poetry club."


    Leisurely smile "just you two, still think about you."


    Shen Xi said, "it''s not just the three of us. It''s not sister Xiang. Let me discuss with her first. When I have a good idea, I''ll send a post to invite someone."


    Leisurely shaking her head and smiling, only such a young girl can think about how to play, but Shen Xiang doesn''t seem to be such an insignificant child. Under this festival, Shen Tian was very busy. How could Shen Xiang hold a poetry meeting at this time?


    Maybe there''s something else in it, not necessarily. Thinking like this, he said with a leisurely smile, "you''re going back now. Don''t make trouble for the empress. Just be obedient. Is everything ready? "


    Shen Xi nodded with a smile, "the servant girls are cleaning up." Leisurely turned and said to LiuYe, "go to the storeroom and take the pair of glass Hibiscus cups just sent from the shop."


    Then, leisurely said to Shen Xi, "since you want to open a poetry club, you always have to bring some color. You should take this pair of cups just in case. By the way, you come here, I''ll teach you a few tips secretly, so that you can win the first prize at one stroke. " Finish saying, Fu Er said a few words in Shen Xi''s ear. After hearing this, Shen Xi was obviously surprised. He gently squeezed her hand. "You can write down what my sister-in-law taught you. These points are very important. You must remember them." Shen Xi swallowed his saliva and nodded in alarm.


    See her such a nervous look, leisurely smile patted her on the shoulder, "it''s OK, don''t be nervous, you just take ordinary heart to treat like, win or lose don''t care too much."


    Shen Xi gradually calmed down and nodded with a smile. After a while, Shen Xi''s servant girls came to wait with their bags.


    Leisurely takes Shen Xi''s snow coat from the maid''s hand and puts it on herself. Then help her tie up the Guanyin bag and pat her on the shoulder "Tell the coachman to slow down on the road, don''t be too fast. It''s a bit slippery outside," he said


    The servant girls and women who follow all should go down and leisurely watch Shen Xi walk out of the second door surrounded by them. Back in the room, the heart is also a sigh, did not expect to seize the power of the Di has been so intense. Even the empress, who has always been a staid woman, was doubted, and she didn''t know whether her wish could be achieved smoothly.


    To leisurely I and Le Zhen''s relationship, if really let Wei Fei reset, it is absolutely no good for her. It''s just that she has no ability to deal with Princess Wei, and I don''t know if Shen Tian has any good way to deal with her mother and son.


    In the house of King Liang, Shen Tian was surprised to hear Shen Xi''s whisper, but he still said with a smile, "what a good boy, you don''t have to stay here. Go and play with Xiang''er in the future."


    Combined with the news she got from other places two days ago, Shen Tian knows that the news leisurely let Shen Xi bring should be true. Although some strange, leisurely is from where and palace connected. But now the most important thing is not to care about these, but to find a way to cut off the way of Wei Fei''s mother and son.


    At this time, Shen Tian was upset. He should not have been soft hearted at the beginning. He should take advantage of the weakest influence of the third prince. Now it''s too late to regret.


    It''s a pity that although she has a few people in the palace, it''s OK to inquire about some information on the big side, such as the secrets of the palace. Shen Tian turns around the room for several times, and suddenly remembers a person. She smiles and says, "come on, I''ve got a distinguished guest here. I''d like to invite the princess of Rongjun to accompany me."


    Shen Tian raised her red lips, her eyes shining with the light of ambition. She had no hands in the palace, but her cousin Fang Xin always had them. After the Empress Dowager Hong left most of her power in the palace to her cousin, but she could do something she couldn''t.


    When Shen Tian was thinking about it, the servant came back and said, "Princess Zhou has come to visit."


    Shen Tian frowned. Why did she come?

 Chapter 304

    After a while, Princess Zhou came in under the guidance of her servant girl. Shen Tian personally welcomed her to the door. "I didn''t expect that my fourth sister-in-law would come here today. I''m afraid she''s too far away."


    Princess Zhou laughs: "I''ve come here abruptly. It''s like this. The last time I sent those lion head oranges, didn''t my sister-in-law say that Xiu loved them? It happened that this time I sent some more, so I brought some to my sister Xiu. There are some loquat fruit, so thin skin, it''s difficult for them to come all the way, there is no bad. I also picked out some good ones and sent them over. "


    Shen Tian replied, "thank you for thinking about sister Xiu. I really like those lion head oranges last time. Although it''s not as sweet as Gonggan, it''s sour and sweet, juicy and delicious. I like it better than Gonggan. A while ago, people went to the capital to look for it, but they never found anything to sell. It''s hard for my sister-in-law to get this rare thing and still think about her sister-in-law. "


    Princess Zhou laughed. "It''s not valuable, but it''s rare in Beijing. One of my late mother''s relatives is an official in Sichuan. This fruit is a local specialty. He always brings me some new year gifts. Last time I gave it to you, but this time I sent a letter to you. When I picked it, it was fresh. It''s hard to avoid some damage here, but most of them are still good. "


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "I didn''t expect it was from Shu. I thought it was from Jiangsu, Zhejiang or Fujian at most. It''s hard to travel along the Shu Road. I don''t know how hard it took to get these fruits here? "


    Princess Zhou replied, "it''s not so difficult. These are all from Hangzhou by water, and then they change carriages. It saves more than half of the time."


    The maid brought up the tea. Princess Zhou sipped it and said with a light smile, "is this Jiuqu red plum? Her mother''s mother and her parents like to drink this kind of black tea. I didn''t expect that five younger brothers and sisters also like it! I went to the palace to greet my mother today, but I was turned away. The eunuch who guarded the gate only said that the mother was ill and should not see others, but if so, shouldn''t we let our daughter-in-law serve medicine? I''ve never heard of my mother''s discomfort before. Now I''m suddenly like this. I can''t help but wonder. "


    Shen Tian thought for a while and said, "what''s wrong with Xu Shi''s mother? She doesn''t want to see anyone for a while. Has the fourth sister-in-law never asked her brother about this?"


    On hearing this, Princess Zhou sneered and said in a deep voice, "what''s the situation between me and King Zhou? The royal family knows very well. My younger siblings don''t have to stir me up with such words. Younger siblings should know that if there is anything wrong with the mother, it is not only me, but also my younger siblings'' wishes


    Shen Tian looked at Princess Zhou and said, "what''s the meaning of sisao''s words?" Princess Zhou turned her eyes and said with a smile, "do you really want me to talk here?"


    Smell speech, Shen Tian waves a hand, the servant girls instantly retreated a clean. Then Shen Tian asked, "now, can the fourth sister-in-law speak?"


    Princess Zhou zhengse said, "I know that my sister-in-law has a lot of doubts about me. In fact, it''s unnecessary. To tell you the truth, I''ve come here to surrender to my future mother! "


    Shen Tian was stunned when he heard the speech, and then immediately scolded, "sister-in-law, don''t make such a joke, sister-in-law, I can''t afford it!"


    Princess Zhou chuckled and shook her head. "If I''m rude, I''ll take it as a joke. I know, sister-in-law is afraid that I must have evil intentions and bad intentions to set you up. In fact, it''s not. Although we sisters in law used to like to fight secretly, it''s just that since the death of Prince Hong, the secret fight has become an open fight! Women in this world, as long as they are married, are looking forward to their husbands. Take sister-in-law and sister-in-law for example. Even if you feel aggrieved and resentful again, you have to work together with your husband for your own interests or the interests of your mother''s family. But there are always some people in this world who are different from you


    Shen Tian would not be easily moved by a few words. She just picked up Liu Mei and said slowly, "is that what sister-in-law said about herself? But if the fourth elder brother really goes further, the fourth sister-in-law will be the crown prince and princess. In the future, she may even be the mother of the world! " Shen Tian quietly responded to Princess Zhou''s record. Princess Zhou was not annoyed, but she said with a lonely smile, "I think my younger sister and brother know the idea of our palace. If King Zhou is just an idle prince, then my life as a princess is better, at least I don''t worry about her life. If he really becomes the prince and emperor, I''m afraid I will die. "


    "How can it be? The fourth sister-in-law''s mother''s family is also a noble scholarly family. Your grandfather is the censor of zuodou, and your father is also the Minister of Honglu temple. It seems that your second uncle is also the salt envoy of Hubei Province! Even if you are worried about your mother''s family, your royal highness King Zhou won''t do anything about you! " Shen Tian still said with disbelief.


    Xu''s cold smile: "mother''s family, if it was not for my stepmother''s younger sister, how could I get such a good thing as entering the palace election? Now that my sister has grown up and is at Huaxin''s age, Zhou Wang has two hopes. My stepmother naturally won''t watch me step up to the sky. If the king of Zhou really has that fortune, I''m afraid the day when his wish is fulfilled is also the time when I die. "


    Shen Tian hesitated and asked, "not so much? Even if Mrs. Xu is a little careful, can Mr. Xu Yushi and Mr. Xu not make decisions for the empress? "


    "My sister-in-law knows that less than three months after my mother left, my father married my stepmother, and then she gave birth to her son" prematurely "less than seven months after she came in. And my brother, one year after his mother died, was suddenly abducted, and his life and death are still unknown. My mother was also very strong. How could she be killed easily by a gust of cold wind? I didn''t understand these things when I was a child. What else do I don''t understand now? If my grandmother didn''t take more care of me when she was there, and my mother''s patriarch''s wife and several elders were protecting me openly and secretly, I would have died long ago. Rao is so. After I got married with Ji, my reputation of "Xing Ke''s relatives" was everywhere in the mansion. Fortunately, it wasn''t long before news of the general election came from the palace. I was the most suitable candidate for the Xu family in terms of age and status, so those rumors were quickly suppressed. Otherwise, I will not be bound in any temple or nunnery by any charges. "


    Thinking of the past, Xu is hard to help. Shen Tian handed over a handkerchief and said in a soft voice, "I didn''t expect that my fourth sister-in-law''s life experience was so miserable. But what''s the purpose of telling me this?"


    It took only a short time for Xu to recover. She looked at Shen Tian and said, "I want to avenge my mother and brother and my innocent child. I need my sister and brother to help me. I know what my sister-in-law is most worried about now. I can help my sister-in-law get rid of Princess Wei without any trace! "


    At this time, the sky, which was already dark, suddenly flashed a dazzling white light. Although it was only fleeting, it still attracted everyone''s attention.


    Leisurely is at home watching the maid set the table, the sky suddenly flash this white light through the glass window into the room, even leisurely also startled.


    People in Manchu can''t help running outside to see it. Leisurely is not free from vulgarity. It''s just a flash of white light. At this time, there is no trace. But everyone was still shocked and got together to talk about it.


    Leisurely rare did not stop them immediately, she looked up at the sky has been restored to the dark, seizing the power of the already turbulent undercurrent. Now all of a sudden, it''s like this. I don''t know how much trouble it will cause!

 Chapter 305

    On the other hand, Shen Tian and Xu Shi naturally saw this scene. Shen Tian was a little worried, but Xu suddenly laughed, "heaven has eyes, God can''t see the arrogance of the slut!"


    Shen Tian listened to her saying, "the fourth sister-in-law didn''t say what she said. Now the father and the emperor favor the treacherous and the sycophant and neglect the good wife. Even heaven can''t help warning. It''s just that it''s been a thousand years since the disaster happened. I''m afraid the treacherous man is not so easy to deal with. "


    Xu said with a confident smile, "I dare not go to the mountains without tiger fighting skills. Since I dare to speak out, I will have a way. It''s just that the sky is abnormal. This time, we can just solve the problem of mother and son together. It''s just that after the event, people from the younger sister''s side need to help cover up in front of the emperor. The imperial court thinks that the younger sister''s side has already made arrangements, so I don''t need to talk too much. "


    Smell speech Shen Tian tight Cu double eyebrows, cold voice way "my affair, four elder sister-in-law seem to know is not general much."


    Xu looked at her and said, "if you don''t want people to know, unless you don''t want to do it yourself, your younger brothers and sisters are not short of means and mind, but don''t think that these princes and princes are really idiots. If no one secretly helped to cover up one or two, the younger generation''s younger brother''s secret business and eyeliner would have been discovered. But don''t worry, we won''t do any harm to our sister-in-law, otherwise we would have done it to Liang Wang a few years ago. "


    Looking at the sky outside, Xu got up and said, "well, it''s late. I should go back. At that time, I''ll find a way to inform my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law will just cooperate with me. " With that, she went out. When she got to the door, the maid helped her put on her big fur cloak and Guanyin bag.


    Just out of Shen Tian''s yard, he met Fang Xinsu head-on. Although it was getting dark, there were four lanterns hanging at the gate of the courtyard. The maids who followed Fang Xinsu also carried several glass palace lanterns, which made the sky and earth shine like day. Xu said hello to Fang Xinsu with a smile and turned to leave.


    When Xin Su arrived in the room, she asked strangely, "how did Princess Zhou come?"


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "it''s nothing. She got some lion''s head oranges from Sichuan. Thinking about Xiu''s love for them, she sent some to her. You''ll have a taste later. It''s sour and sweet. It''s not bad. "


    Xin Su said with a smile, "in the middle of the night, you call me here. Can''t you just fool me with some fruits?" Shen Tian''s finger nodded her head. "Look what you said. It''s not that Xiang''er and Xi''er are here. They are preparing to set up a poetry club. I think you always like this, so I''m going to invite you. I asked them to prepare a mutton pot, and we''ll have a chat while eating. "


    Before he finished, Fang Xinsu stood up and said, "do you want to start a poetry club? It''s really wonderful. My family also has a wonderful piece of red plum. Originally, I wanted to open a poetry club or something. But less than a year after the prince left, the emperor and queen in the palace were not comfortable, so they left the matter behind. Or do these girls who are not in the cabinet know how to play, but is it not good to do this at the moment? "


    Shen Tian shook his head. "We don''t make a big fuss. It''s just that our sisters get together by chance to talk and write a poem. Don''t make a big fuss and don''t drink. Who can say what?"


    Fang Xinsu also assured smile "or cousin brain turn fast, right their people?"


    Although the vision just now also startled Shen Xiang, the little girl was just afraid for a while, and then passed. The next day, the poetry meeting was still held, but Shen Tian''s advice didn''t make much noise.


    And the court hall will not be so calm. Early the next morning, the emperor qintianjian said, "there must be demons in the sky. Yesterday evening, although there was a white light shining to the extreme, there was a red fire behind it. It was" the evil of Yinghuo attacking crape myrtle ". It was the main culprit." Frankly speaking, there are treacherous people around him.


    After reading the memorial of emperor qintianjian, Emperor Longde felt that things were really not going well in the palace recently, so he called on officials above grade three in the court to discuss the matter with Qianyuan palace. After the arrival of all the civil and military officials, Emperor Longde asked people to read the composition to everyone. Then he asked in a deep voice, "what do you care about this matter?" Everyone had seen the vision yesterday. Now after hearing the memorial of emperor qintianjian, all the ministers postscript one after another, asking to find out the traitor as soon as possible and deal with it as soon as possible. They accused each other of impeachment in the name of "Qing emperor''s side". For a moment, there was a great chaos in the court.


    Looking at the red faced courtiers who were fighting below and had no manners, Emperor Longde only felt that his blood was surging. He stretched out his hand and opened his mouth to say something, but he didn''t say a word. Instead, he felt that there was a smell of blood in his throat, and then he vomited out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    This scared everyone in the hall. Fortunately, father-in-law Yu was used to the wind and frost. At the moment, he ran to the emperor, held the tottering emperor Longde, and called out "pass the doctor quickly." The rest of the eunuchs rushed forward to help the emperor.


    Seeing this, several princes and princes immediately gathered around him. The prince of Pingjun, who had the longest seniority in the clan, saw these people and said, "don''t surround your majesty first. There are many people in this hall. It''s hard to make a diagnosis when the imperial doctor comes. I''ll take your majesty to the back and lie down first. "


    After hearing this, the clever eunuch hastened to carry a spring stool with a thick brocade mattress on it. It''s difficult for these people to get this set of things out in the blink of an eye. They helped Lunde emperor to lie down. Several stronger eunuchs carried him to the back hall steadily and then helped him to lie down on arhat''s bed.


    Fortunately, although emperor Longde vomited a mouthful of blood, his spirit was fairly good. He saw that the princes, princes and several important ministers all came in and waved their hands and said, "I think I can support you. You don''t have to worry. Let''s all go out. I''ll be quiet."


    Although they didn''t want to, seeing that emperor Longde was resolute, they all had to retreat outside. It''s just that no one would go and wait outside the Qianyuan palace before the chief doctor came.


    At this time, Chen Jiang came in with a glass of water. Instead of giving it to Longde Di, he handed it to Yu Gongyu GUI first. Yu Gui took the tea cup, looked at Chen Jiang with a smile, as if to say, "you are still smart." He was very satisfied with Chen Jiang''s failure to take the opportunity to show himself. But I didn''t dare to relax at all. I took a silver needle to measure it. Then I brought the cup to Longde emperor. "Your Majesty must have a bloody smell in your mouth now. First, drink some water and gargle."


    Long de Di was closing his eyes. He felt his mouth was too tight after listening to Yu Gui''s words. He barely supported himself and rinsed his mouth. Feeling a little fresher in his mouth, he said, "why is the imperial doctor so slow?"


    While talking, the door of the back hall was opened, and then a royal doctor and two imperial doctors rushed in.


    Not to mention the end of the palace, how did the imperial doctors diagnose the pulse of emperor Longde. Shen Xi came back before noon.


    Seeing her leisurely, he joked, "isn''t it a poetry meeting? Why did you come back so early? "


    Shen Xi said in a flustered way, "there is news from the palace that the emperor vomited blood in Qianyuan Palace this morning. Now I don''t know what the situation is! The two concubines went to the palace to visit, and my cousin and I went home separately. "


    Then he jumped into leisurely arms and said in a trembling voice, "sister-in-law, I''m afraid."


    Leisurely didn''t do it. She thought it was the little girl who didn''t go through this. She was surprised. She patted her on the back and said, "it''s OK. The emperor is the son of heaven. He will turn the bad into the good."


    Then Shen Xi said a word, but let her next de placate words all swallow back to the stomach.

 Chapter 306

    What Shen Xi said is not something like fear, but the secret language Shen Tian asked her to bring. Although Shen Tian doesn''t know who leisurely is connected with in the palace, Shen Tian secretly guesses that this person should be the Minister of the imperial court. But now the palace is under martial law, and her power in the palace can''t even get a little bit of gossip.


    Although Fang Xinsu had the hands left by the empress dowager, she was the emperor''s mother after all, and she had only one son, so she didn''t need to put any hands in front of the emperor. Therefore, what fangxinsu can do is limited.


    Shen Tian asks Shen Xi to take a message to leisurely, but he just wants to have a try. If Princess Zhou really does it, there will be a queen in the palace. Even the crown princess, I''m afraid, is not willing to see the imperial concubine Wei who has always been aiming at the eastern palace.


    Leisurely got a message and tried to pass it on to Chen Jiang. As for whether Chen Jiang will reach out to help or not, leisurely has no bottom in his heart. He can only take one step at a time.


    In the Qianyuan palace, after the imperial doctor diagnosed the pulse of emperor Longde, his face really changed abruptly. "How does the pulse of the emperor look like the poisoning caused by the mutual restraint of food?"


    After hearing this, Emperor Longde''s face was not good-looking. Yu Gui saw that the emperor''s face was not good-looking, so he quickly rebuked him and said, "it''s good for the imperial doctor Qin to have a basis for his words. The cooks in the imperial dining room are very good at pharmacology, and they dare not give the emperor some food to eat..."


    Before he finished speaking, he saw emperor Longde waving his hand and saying, "take my daily notes these days to imperial doctor Qin." Smell speech, wait on the side, responsible for writing notes of daily life in the waiter quickly submitted the booklet.


    Doctor Qin took over the daily life book and looked forward one by one. It listed in detail the time of the emperor''s three meals a day and the meal list. Even the tea and herbs he drank, the snacks he ate and the fruits he ate were very detailed. After a month''s work, the doctor didn''t find any clue. He shook his head and said to himself, "the disease of the Lord should have happened in recent days. It won''t take more than half a month, but why didn''t he find any clue?" Then he handed the pamphlet to some of his colleagues and said, "you all have a look. Do you see what I''ve missed?"


    Several doctors hurriedly took over the pamphlet and looked through it carefully. If they couldn''t find any clues, they would be the ones who had bad luck. So everyone was very attentive and didn''t dare to make any mistakes. They just watched the time go by, but the doctors still didn''t find any clues.


    Just at this time, a little eunuch came in and said two words to Yu Gui. Yu Gui went to Longde Di and said in a low voice, "if you come back, the empresses in the harem know that the dragon body of the emperor is in trouble. They are waiting outside. They want to say hello to you. The empress is so sick that she can''t get close to her. She has sent her maids to come here. The princesses, princesses and concubines inside and outside the palace are also here. "


    Although the imperial doctor has not found any evidence, lundeti also feels that he vomited blood this morning. I can''t say it''s related to the empress and Prince. Now he feels bad to see these sons, and his daughter is more pleasant.


    Thinking of this, Emperor Longde said, "go and shout Yueqing, Yueyang and their mother together." These are the youngest two of his princesses. They are still innocent children. Lundeti likes these innocent children now. At his command, the eunuch agreed to go.


    After a while, the two princesses came in accompanied by their biological mother. Among them, Princess LeYang is the youngest. She is only one year old this year. She is not easy to walk. Her biological mother, Zhao Jieyu, carries her in. Another princess, Yueqing, is only seven years old this year. Her biological mother is Xia Meiren, who was punished by the first empress dowager for making fun of leisurely.


    Xia Meiren has risen to the position of Zhaoyi, the head of the nine concubines, because she admits her mistake after the event, is sincere and used to be gentle, and her two sons and daughters are very favored. If it wasn''t for the death of the Empress Dowager and the prince, she would have been promoted to a higher level.


    Seeing that emperor Longde could still sit on the couch, the two concubines looked at each other with a little ease. After several people saw the ceremony, Yueqing didn''t wait for Longde emperor to shout, so she ran to him with her legs and asked, "father, what''s wrong with you? Do you feel better now? " Looking at his daughter''s clever and sensible appearance, lundeti only felt more gratified. Zhao Jieyu saw that Le Qing took the lead and was about to make do with Le Yang. Unexpectedly, Le Yang sneezed several times, which scared her to stop.


    Hearing the sneeze, lundeti asked, "what''s the matter? Is it cold outside, freezing yang''er? "


    Zhao Jieyu shook her head. "As usual, the princess came out every day to stay for a while, never like this. Besides, the sun is good outside today, and it''s not cold. " Although she occasionally hugs her daughter on weekdays, she has never hugged her for such a long time. It''s just that emperor Longde''s eyes have hidden blame. At this time, Zhao Jieyu did not dare to put her daughter on the ground, so she had to change her hand and continue to hold her. She just felt that the pain in her arm was unbearable, and she could not support her.


    At this time, Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "children come into the house from the outside. The temperature is different. They are not used to it for a while. It''s just a sneeze. The emperor doesn''t have to worry too much."


    A clever doctor came up to Princess LeYang to feel her pulse and said, "the princess is very healthy. Please don''t worry about it."


    Xia Zhaoyi, with a smile, said to Lunde, "emperor, you see, I''m right. Yueyang is always a lively and healthy girl, and sister Zhao is very careful. How can she get sick easily? "


    As soon as the words were over, Yue Yang sneezed two more times. Even Zhao Jieyu began to doubt whether her daughter was ill.


    At this time, Xia Zhaoyi smiles awkwardly. She looks around and suddenly points to the red copper censer in the middle of the room and says, "when are the spices put here? Didn''t the empress say that the emperor''s dragon body was not safe to burn incense? Besides, even if you burn incense, you should choose something with lighter flavor. The flavor of the spice is so strong that it''s no wonder that LeYang sneezes after being smoked! "


    Longde Di frowned and asked, "how do you know that LeYang was smoked by this spice?"


    Xia Zhaoyi hugged Yue Yang and said, "look, emperor, this time it''s far away from the censer. Yue Yang won''t sneeze." Then holding LeYang, he got closer to the censer. Sure enough, LeYang began to sneeze again.


    This time, you don''t have to ask Longde Di, so Yu Gui runs to put out the spices in it. Several imperial doctors went to check the ash. A moment later, they saw that the imperial doctor Qin took the lead and said, "tell the emperor, I have found the clue."

 Chapter 307

    Without waiting for the emperor''s orders, the Qin imperial doctor went on to say, "the ambergris in this censer is filled with a spice named Salvia by someone. On the contrary, it has the good effect of calming the nerves and improving eyesight and relieving headache. However, it is recorded in the living notes of the emperor that the emperor has eaten vegetables and fruits such as Cucumis, saffron, asparagus, mung bean cake and red bean cake in the past two days. These foods are the same as sage. What''s more, the holy one had a serious illness a while ago and still has some deficiency of Qi and blood. It''s really not suitable to use such fragrant spices as sage


    Lundeti asked in a deep voice, "in your opinion, will the spices here be added inadvertently?"


    The imperial doctor of Qin said, "look, this should be done by someone who has a heart. The amount of sage in this spice is very small. If we didn''t check it out, we couldn''t see any difference at all. Moreover, the amount of cucumbers and other things that the Lord eats these days is also limited. The people behind this must want to nibble at the body of the LORD a little, and do not want to attract other people''s attention too early. It''s just that the emperor ate a saffron last night and drank a bowl of bean juice this morning. These beans and saffron fruits are very compatible with sage, which leads to the early onset of toxicity in the body of the saint. Fortunately, the toxicity of these things is limited now. Most of them have been discharged after the emperor vomited blood. Now, as long as you take a few more pieces of detoxification decoction, you can get better. "


    Hearing the news that he was not in any serious trouble, lundeti didn''t feel a little happy. He waved his hand and said, "let''s step back first


    After Taiyi quit, Longde Di asked slowly, "who set the censer on fire?" Yu Gui knelt down and said, "it''s empress Wei Zhaoyi. The last time she came to serve the driver, she said that the Emperor didn''t sleep well, so she asked her to take some spices. The slave wanted to stop it, but after seeing some spices, the emperor really slept better. Later, he said that the fragrance smelled comfortable, but the slave didn''t stop it. He never thought that the spice would be tampered with. This is a servant''s dereliction of duty. Please punish him. "


    Lundeti looked at the other attendants and asked, "what you said is true?" At this time, the waiters had already knelt all over the floor. Dare not make a sound, only a eunuch with courage back way "slave also remember that day is Wei Niang Niang account of this matter." Hearing the response, other eunuchs echoed.


    "The Wei family?" Long de Di murmurs to read a way, suddenly turn a head to see to Xia Zhao two imperial concubines "this matter how do you see?"


    Zhao Jieyu held her daughter in silence, but Xia Zhaoyi suddenly knelt down and said, "this matter concerns the previous dynasty. I should not have talked too much. But seeing that even the spices in the emperor''s bedroom were mixed with things, I was really worried. Excuse me for saying something disrespectful to sister Wei. Since the empress had already spoken to her that day, why did sister Wei refuse to listen? Are you more knowledgeable than the empress, or are you not paying attention to the empress, the head of the harem? Today, after listening to what the doctor said, my concubine suddenly remembered something. I don''t know whether to say it or not? "


    Longde Di looked straight at Xia Zhaoyi and said, "if you have a word, don''t stammer." Xia Zhaoyi just returned and said, "the empress has been ill for many days and has not improved. I miss her very much. Now think about it carefully, the queen has always been in good health. She has never heard of any stubborn disease before. That day, the empress took care of the emperor day and night. The emperor never fell ill. How could she get seriously ill easily? If you think about it again, isn''t the time when the empress got sick just after the Duke of Chu returned to the palace? What''s more, the emperor was already well. Why did he get sick again and again. When I think about it carefully, I feel extremely frightened! "


    When she finished, Lundy narrowed his eyes and asked, "are you finished?" Xia Zhaoyi nodded, "I have finished."


    Longde Di threw a teacup on the Kang Table and said, "how dare you slander Wei, but I''m afraid she will climb up to you again after she is in favor?"


    The teacup almost wiped Xia Zhaoyi''s ear and fell out. She was also scared to death, but she knew that at this moment she had no way out. She kowtowed her head and said, "what I have said is true. I dare not deceive the emperor."


    This scared the two princesses a lot. Yueqing was a little bit older. She didn''t dare to cry when she saw that her father was not happy. She just ran to her mother''s side and knelt down together. But LeYang didn''t know. She had never seen her father in such a frightening way. She burst into tears. Zhao Jieyu was so anxious that she couldn''t help coaxing her children. Hearing the cry of his little daughter, Emperor Longde realized that he had gone too far. He looked at Xia Zhaoyi and said, "Xia, how dare you say this in front of Wei and the third prince?"


    Xia Zhaoyi calm back way "I dare." Emperor Longde waved his hand, and then a servant went to summon Wei.


    At the moment, Xia Zhaoyi''s heart is also full of ups and downs. Her son is still young, and she didn''t intend to fall into this whirlpool. However, she had a deep feud with Wei''s mother and son. If the mother and son were really powerful, she and her children would be in danger in this palace. The empress treated her well. Now she was sent, and Xia couldn''t resist.


    On the other hand, Xia also firmly believes that if the empress who has always been invisible doesn''t make a move, Wei can''t avoid it.


    In the north of the capital, there is leisurely like Xia. When Shen Xi came back, in addition to that sentence, he also brought back a poem about plum blossom that she had written. There is nothing wrong with the poem itself. The key is that there is a comment on it. This comment has only four words "human words".


    These four words are too familiar. Do you have them? As long as people who have lived in modern times, even if they have not read this book, they have heard Wang Guowei''s "human words".


    Leisurely restrained the trembling in his heart and pretended to be nothing, he asked, "how can Princess Zhou be in the palace of Liang? Did she say what these four words mean? "


    Shen Xi was a little embarrassed and said, "Princess Zhou is going to invite her cousins to the palace to greet the empress. Seeing that we are writing a poem, she took a look and commented on it. Then the empress said that I wrote this poem with a lot of aura. It seemed that I got it from heaven. However, the empress said that the sky is too far away and the world is stable, so she wrote these four words


    Leisurely smile, "empress Zhou deserves to be born in a scholarly family, this choice of words is really different." Then he said with a smile, "your poem is really good. Can I take this one to my sister-in-law?"


    Shen Xi''s shy smile "sister-in-law likes it, keep it, they have copied down." See leisurely in front of the table also put a pile of cards, he got up and said with a smile, "I''m not here to disturb sister-in-law, first go back to change clothes."


    Leisurely heart inside the rough, but the face is still calm as usual, light charged way "go, don''t be afraid, have a good rest, sleep up."


    After Shen Xi left, he took his Rouge powder and sprinkled some on the corner of the paper. Then he blew it gently. Sure enough, a string of tiny Chinese Pinyin appeared on it, which spelled Wisteria seeds.

 Chapter 308

    Wisteria, also known as rattan. Because of its cold resistance and easy planting, it is often full of flowers and pleasant fragrance in the blooming season, which is deeply loved by everyone. This kind of flowers and trees are very common, whether in the deep courtyard of a large family or in the courtyard of a poor family. When Wisteria is in full bloom, some people also like to pick petals to make rattan cake, wisteria cake, wisteria porridge and so on.


    But few people know that this beautiful fragrance of flowers, the body has a small poison, if eaten improperly, it is easy to cause diarrhea, vomiting and other symptoms. Especially after the wisteria flower withers, the string of pods on the tree is the most poisonous part of Wisteria. If you eat it by mistake, it may even cause shock and death.


    Not to mention the people here, even in the modern era of information development, few people know that Wisteria is poisonous. If you didn''t read a piece of news by chance, you don''t know about it. Why did Princess Zhou want this? Although she didn''t know what she was doing in her past life, she never wanted to plant Wisteria trees when she asked for it in a roundabout way. What does she want to do with all this?


    In a word, it won''t be a good thing. Do you want to go through this muddy water? Even if it''s going through the hometown, I don''t seem to have to help, and I want to deal with others with things. If she helps, I''m afraid she will become the accomplice of Princess Zhou Xu? After she passed through, she never took the initiative to harm others. In the end, her previous life experiences and thoughts deeply influenced her.


    Shen Xi''s poem paper is still on the table. Xue Tao''s paper, which was originally bright and beautiful, is now shining evil light in leisurely eyes. Leisurely does not want to pay attention to the line of Pinyin above, she wants to pretend not to see it. But he thought that the paper was brought out under Shen Tian''s eyes. Was it Shen Tian''s tacit consent? When Shen Xi came back, it seemed that the emperor was ill again.


    Does Shen Tian want to


    Leisurely didn''t dare to think about it any more. She knew that if Shen Tian acquiesced in it, no matter whether Princess Zhou crossed her hometown or not, she would give it to her.


    Thinking of this, leisurely called Su He in and asked, "who sent the girl back just now? Has anyone left yet? "


    Su he said, "it''s Xiaoqi''s mother beside the princess. It''s just time for dinner. The maidservant makes the decision to prepare a table for lunch. Mother Yang is there with her." Xiao Qi''s mother is the sister of Qi''s mother in the government. Later, she married Shen Tian to the palace. Needless to say, she is also Shen Tian''s confidant.


    Leisurely at this time, she had a chance. She said, "it''s rare for Xiao Qi''s mother to come here. Go and ask the kitchen to add more dishes to her. In addition, go to pick out some good fresh vegetables from our Chuang Tzu and let mother Xiao Qi take them back to the princess. "


    Su he agreed to go, and there was no one else in the room. Leisurely took out a purse from the drawer of her dresser, and poured out some brown seeds, which she collected in the summer while taking advantage of the fruits of Wisteria at home. At that time, I just picked some for fun, but I didn''t expect that they would be used for other purposes now.


    Leisurely tore a small piece of rice paper, wrapped about ten Wisteria seeds, and then found a plain purse without any mark, put the seeds in it. After thinking about it, I put some silver coins in my purse.


    Then she threw the note into the charcoal basin in the room. In the charcoal basin, there is a good silver frost charcoal. There is no smoke smell. Even the fire is light red. You can''t see the light of the fire if you don''t look carefully. But as soon as Xue taojian went in, there was a dazzling light in the original calm charcoal basin. After a while, even the paper ash could not be seen.


    Take a deep breath leisurely, and let people come in as usual. After dinner, when Xiao Qi''s mother came to say goodbye, she handed her purse leisurely and without any trace. "Thank you for your hard work. I''ll keep it for tea."


    Xiao Qi''s mother refused and Fang accepted it with a smile.


    After seeing off Xiaoqi''s mother, she stands by the window and looks at the direction of the Forbidden City. The storm has come. I don''t know what will happen to her fate? In the palace, Wei was called in. When she heard Xia Zhaoyi''s accusation, she immediately cried out, "I''m sorry! Xia Zhaoyi and my concubine have always had some grudges. I didn''t expect that they would slander my concubine now! The emperor is dependent on his mother and son. How can he think of murdering the emperor? The emperor, please


    Xia Zhaoyi said without showing any weakness, "sister Wei keeps saying that she is wronged. Then the empress will not let her servants burn incense. How can sister Wei do the opposite?"


    Wei sneered, "when the empress said this, the emperor was still in a coma. Later, when I saw the emperor recovering from a serious illness, I wanted to let my servants burn some spices so that the emperor could sleep better. Why not?"


    Xia Zhaoyi chuckled, "sister Wei really knows how to use unreasonable words!"


    The two argued and refused to give in to each other, but there was no way for them to take each other. When lundeti was impatient, a group of four or five eunuchs came in from outside. One of the leading deacons whispered back a few words in his ear, and took out two purses from his sleeve and showed them to Lundy.


    Longde Di asked in a deep voice, "where are those bitches now?" That eunuch period Ai Ai''s reply way "return to Emperor''s words, these two people probably see the affair want to expose, unexpectedly one hanged oneself in the garden behind the Jingyun temple."


    Smell speech, long de Di sneer a "pour is a pair of infatuated seeds!" Finish saying, originally have some suspicious eyes, instant fierce hope to Wei Shi "you big courage!"


    Wei did not know why, but also tried to quibble for himself, "I really didn''t do anything wrong to the emperor, I beg the emperor for a lesson!"


    Long de Di took the two bags from the eunuch and threw them in front of her. "Then tell me, how did Ziyan, your servant girl, get involved with the eunuch in charge of spices in Qianyuan palace and commit suicide together? Don''t tell me, you master, you don''t even know what your servant girl is doing! "


    Then emperor Longde said in a cold voice, "come and take Wei Zhaorong back to his bedroom and take strict care of him. No one is allowed to enter Jingyun hall without my will!"


    Hearing Ziyan commit suicide, Wei was in a panic. How could she commit suicide? Or with the eunuch! Ziyan has never been that kind of temperament! At this time, Wei did not know that he had fallen into the situation set by others. She used to set up a bureau for others, but today she was designed. Naturally, she was not willing to be appointed in this way. When she knelt down and walked in front of emperor Lunde, she said, "emperor Shengming, Ziyan is my concubine''s grand maid, and every move is eye-catching. Even if I really want to do something, I won''t let her do it. Otherwise, I''ll give you something for nothing? If Ziyan did this, she would never choose to commit suicide at this time with her heart to her concubine, thus causing her concubine to suffer injustice. Someone must have deliberately framed my concubine for the emperor''s observation! "


    It''s worthy of being a concubine who has been favored for many years. However, a few words made Longde''s firm eyes hesitant.

 Chapter 309

    Xia Zhaoyi saw Wei''s words to coax the emperor Longde hesitated, not from secretly anxious, but she did not think of any good countermeasures for a moment.


    At this time, another eunuch came in and said to Emperor Lund, "let''s play to the emperor. The slaves have searched Jingyun hall for several times, but no poisonous spices like sage have been found."


    Wei couldn''t care to think when Emperor Longde asked people to search her bedroom. After listening to the eunuch''s words, she only felt that she breathed a sigh in her heart and said to the emperor, "emperor, I really didn''t do those things, Emperor!" The tone is plaintive and sincere, which makes people can''t bear to hear it.


    Xia Zhaoyi thought that Wei''s method was serious. No wonder she was in favor for many years. She secretly looked up and found that Lund''s face was not as cold as before. She couldn''t help but clatter. Did Wei escape this disaster easily this time?


    In Funing temple in the palace, Lezhen is seriously copying scriptures. A few days ago, the mother and the concubine managed to send a message in, saying that her brother had come back from the imperial mausoleum. The mother and the son were looking forward to turning over. Wei asked her not to be arrogant and impatient these days. When she had time, she would copy more scriptures. When she had the right chance, she would take these scriptures to Longde emperor and try to impress her father and release her as soon as possible.


    Although Lezhen hated copying scriptures, she was really scared this time. Apart from this small nunnery, she can''t go anywhere. Three meals a day are either vegetables or tofu. She has had enough of such a life. Now, seeing the prospect of going out, I can''t care whether I like it or not, so I have to pick up the pen and paper to copy the Scriptures word by word.


    A beautiful looking maid came in from the outside with a tray. Seeing that Lezhen was seriously copying, she said with a smile, "the princess has been copying for a long time. Let''s have a rest. Last time, there were some bird''s nests sent in by Empress Wei. The maidservant just stewed one. Let the princess use some to moisten her throat. "


    Lezhen was just a little tired, so she put down her brush and stretched her arm. Then she slowly picked up the bird''s nest. She looked at the bird''s nest in her hand and said with a bitter smile, "I used to be tired of eating blood birds, but now I''m just a little bit of white birds, and my mother''s concubine has to try her best to eat a little bit."


    The maid replied, "the woman guarding the door is afraid of being found out. She won''t let too many things in, otherwise lady Wei will be reluctant to aggrieve the princess."


    Le Zhen sighed, "the mother''s imperial concubine''s present favor is not as good as before. It''s just for our brother and sister to support. All of them are. We''ve implicated our mother''s concubine. If she''s still Wei Shufei, who is in the sixth palace. It''s the Queen''s will. Do you think those housekeepers will change their faces. Now I only hope that my mother''s concubine and my brother will regain their favor this morning so that they can take me out. If this kind of life goes on, I''ll get moldy. "


    The palace maid said with a smile, "the princess''s devout copying of scriptures now will surely bring good fortune."


    Yue Zhen looked at the Scriptures and her own ink on the desk and murmured, "do you think my father will forgive me?" The maid of honor nodded hard. "It will. It''s not a big mistake for the princess. The emperor was just angry. Now the princess is so serious about praying for the emperor to copy the Scriptures. The emperor will surely be moved by the filial piety of the princess and will release the princess. "


    "I hope so," Lezhen said with a bitter smile Then he drank the bird''s nest porridge in a moment. Seeing that Lezhen had finished all the bird''s nest porridge, the palace maid was relieved.


    She forbeared the excitement in her heart and calmly took the empty lamp over. "Maid, go to the small kitchen and clean it up. Princess, don''t rush to copy. Let''s have a rest first!"


    Lezhen nodded. She had been sitting for most of the day. At this time, she felt a little stiff, so she stood up and went to the window. Although it was a cold winter, it was a rare sunny day today. Lezhen looked at the sun hanging high outside and thought in her heart that she didn''t know when I would be able to go out again to live the life of the past.


    She didn''t know that it would be the last sunshine in her life. All of a sudden, Lezhen felt that her vision was a little blurred. She wanted to open her eyes, but she couldn''t open them. Then her head hurt a little. She wanted to shout, but she found that she couldn''t shout anything. All of a sudden, she slid to the ground, only feeling that her strength disappeared little by little, and finally she had no consciousness. The maid in waiting didn''t know when she had been standing at the door. She watched Le Zhen fall down and waited for a while before she stepped forward to look at her nose and found that she really had no breath. Quickly drag her to the side of the book, let her lie on top. Then he picked up a piece of paper on the table, wrote a last letter in the tone of Le Zhen, and pressed it on the table.


    If Lezhen is still alive, she will be very surprised, because this palace maid, who is illiterate in her eyes, not only can write, but her handwriting is very similar to hers. It''s hard to tell the true from the false.


    Although the hands and feet of the maid of honor were trembling, she quickly took out a paper package from her arms, poured all the brown powder in her mouth, and then put the paper into one of her hands.


    Then, she ran to the door of the nunnery hall and pinched herself, tears gushed out in an instant. "Princess, princess, what''s the matter with you? Don''t scare me! Come and help. "


    The eunuchs and maids who were guarding outside thought that Lezhen was going to go out again. They looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. An aunt in charge opened the door and came in. She frowned and asked, "what''s the matter?"


    The maid of honor came out in panic and yelled, "no, princess, she killed herself by taking poison!"


    "What?" Seeing that the maid in waiting didn''t look like a forger, she quickly went in to have a look. She saw that Lezhen''s eyes were closed and fell on the desk, and a line of black and red blood was flowing out of the corner of her mouth. She was surprised. She went to sniff, but she was not angry?


    Although there is no title, but in the end is the emperor''s own daughter, aunt dare not be careless, hurried to shout, "the princess killed herself by taking poison, quick, quick to find the doctor."


    Hearing the call of the steward''s aunt, people came in one after another to investigate. They were all afraid to see such a situation. Well, if something really happened to Lezhen, these caretakers would not get any benefits. At this time, one after another, they got worried and ran to the imperial doctor with their legs split quickly. Another two people went to the Qianyuan palace to report to the emperor.


    The rest of the maids and eunuchs gathered around Lezhen and whispered. The maid in waiting on Lezhen was lying on the ground, crying and out of breath. In fact, her tears are sincere, but not because of sadness, but a joy of revenge!

 Chapter 310

    In Qianyuan hall, Emperor Longde just waved to let Wei stand up and reply, and then he heard the bad news from the eunuch. He thought he had heard something wrong and asked, "what did you say?"


    The little eunuch crawled on the ground and said, "Princess Lezhen killed herself by taking poison!"


    Before Longde emperor responded, Wei could not hold his breath. "You must be talking nonsense. How could Lezhen commit suicide?"


    The little eunuch trembled with fright, but he said, "I dare not lie. This is how the guards of Funing nunnery come back."


    Wei''s a pair of incredible appearance, she suddenly rushed to Lunde emperor body kneel down, cry and shout "emperor, emperor, you know that girl''s temperament of Le Zhen, for no reason, how can she choose to commit suicide?" It''s true that he has been in the palace for half his life. After the initial sadness, Wei quickly caught a chance from this incident.


    After she cried a few times, she choked again and said, "emperor, Lezhen has been confined in Funing nunnery to chant scriptures. The place is heavily guarded. It''s even more difficult for my concubine to send some tonic to her daughter. Where did Lezhen get the poison to kill herself? Someone must have hurt her. Emperor, you must find out about it. " The guards of Funing nunnery were all assigned by Empress Meng. Wei''s words clearly meant to bring empress Meng into the water.


    Xia Zhaoyi smell speech, the facial expression is unpredictable of saw Wei Shi one eye, but immediately followed by low head no longer speech.


    Longde Di said in a cold voice, "go and bring all the servants in and out of Funing nunnery to me." After he vomited blood this morning, he didn''t have time to have a good rest. Now he heard the news of Lezhen''s death, and he couldn''t bear it for a moment. In addition to sadness, he questioned more about how Lezhen died?


    After a while, the palace maids of Funing temple and the eunuchs in charge of guarding were all brought in.


    When Wei Shi saw these people, he was the first to catch the maid in waiting on Le Zhen: "Xiao Yuan, your name is Xiao Yuan, right? You have been serving the princess for many years and have always been loyal. Do you think the princess was killed? Is that right? " As she spoke, her hand grasped Xiaoyuan''s wrist. The scarlet Dankou was deeply trapped in Xiaoyuan''s flesh.


    The little round eats pain, but she resists herself not to shout out. She looks at the hints of Wei''s eyes, turns her head in tears, and says, "no, Wei empress, your royal highness is really self poisoning."


    Wei was very angry when she heard the words. She slapped her face and said angrily, "You cheap maid, someone must have ordered you to kill Lezhen, right?"


    Longde Di coughed and asked people to pull the Wei family apart. "Well, Wei family, where is this? How can you be so presumptuous?" Then he looked at Xiao Yuan and said, "are you the princess''s maid of honor? When did you find out that the princess committed suicide? "


    Xiao Yuan replied, "my Lord, the maid waited on the princess and used a bowl of bird''s nest porridge. At that time, the princess looked very well. The maid went to the small kitchen to clean up the dishes and boiled a pot of hot water. When she got the tea and went back, she saw the princess lying on the desk. As for what poison the princess took, I don''t know. "


    One side of Wei Shi cold hum a way "you are Zhen er''s intimate maid, Zhen Er has what thing you don''t know?"


    Xiao Yuan choked and said, "please tell me from empress Wei. I really haven''t seen any poison. The princess practises in that nunnery. She has very simple utensils. She doesn''t even have Rouge powder. She even has several pieces of paper. She really hasn''t seen anything like poison. "


    At this time, the imperial physician, who was waiting on the side, opened up "to tell the emperor that what his royal highness used to kill himself is not poison, but the seed of Wisteria flower."


    Wei did not believe that "how can it be that Wisteria flowers can be eaten, and how can seeds be poisonous?"


    Lundeti did not believe that "I have never heard of this before." "Wisteria flower itself is a kind of medicinal material, although it can be used to treat diseases. But in fact, it is slightly toxic all over the body, but the toxicity of petals is very small. When we eat it everyday, we usually use steaming, boiling and other methods to heat it, and the toxicity after heating is very little. Therefore, most people will not have any poisoning symptoms after eating it. The most poisonous part of Wisteria is its seeds. Five seeds at most can kill people. When I went to treat the princess, I found that she had eaten at least a dozen seeds of powder, but she was determined to die. "


    Lundy closed his eyes. "Why did she do that?"


    At this time, the stewardess, who had been silent, took out a letter from her sleeve and said, "when I heard the news, I found this on the princess''s desk."


    Yu Gui personally handed the letter to Longde di. Longde Di read it at a glance. He recognized Lezhen''s handwriting and didn''t think there was anything wrong with the letter. Seeing his eyes at last, he couldn''t help wetting them. He reached for the dim sum dish on the Kang Table and threw it at Wei. "You bitch, you have the face to blame others. Lezhen was killed by your mother and son!"


    This time, Longde emperor did not show mercy. The dish hit Wei''s forehead accurately and broke an inch long hole in an instant. Seeing that the look of emperor Longde was not right, the Wei family could not take care of wiping the blood on his head and said in a hurry, "emperor, there are still many mysteries in this matter. Don''t be blinded by villains, Emperor!"


    Her bloody appearance is not very eye-catching. Lund did not want to look at her again. He waved his hand weakly. This time, the minions no longer hesitated, Ma Liu blocked Wei''s mouth and took it down.


    When you know the news, everything is settled. During the period of praying for her country, Princess Lezhen unfortunately fell ill and died. She restored her title as Princess and was buried under the rule of Princess Chang. In addition, Yue Zhen''s mother, Wei Shi, died because of the pain of her daughter''s death.


    The third prince, the Duke of Chu, voluntarily went to Yuanjue temple in Wutai Mountain to become a monk because of his mother''s and sister''s injuries. As for on the way, the third prince''s motorcade was hit by debris flow, and he himself was hit by rocks and died. That''s what I''ll tell you later.


    Emperor Longde did not recover from his illness, but became weaker afterwards. Seeing that the year was approaching, he thought for a long time and appointed the fifth prince, King Liang, to go to the imperial mausoleum to worship heaven instead of himself.


    As soon as the news came out, the civil and military officials sighed. It seems that the crown prince should be the fifth prince.


    Even if the former Prince''s filial piety did not pass, it could not stop the courtiers in the court from showing their love to the new crown prince. In the house of King Liang, there were many people who gave gifts, but now there are more than three times as many. Fortunately, housekeeper Shen Tian is good at it, and people dare not be perfunctory, but they have not made any trouble.


    Even leisurely glass shop, the last few days of business can be described as full of guests, it can be said that half a month topped a year''s sales.


    By the end of the new year, looking at the thick bank notes on hand, I felt that I had earned the money from my daughter-in-law.

 Chapter 311

    Not only in the shops, but also at home. This year, there are many people who rush to flatter and give gifts. The world is like this. Leisurely, you don''t have to be pretentious or pretentious. However, the situation is still low-key and cautious. You only choose some of the gifts you should receive, and most of them are returned.


    Those who are interested in seeing that she doesn''t accept it are OK, but those who have been beaten and see that the road won''t work begin to think about it. There are always 50 or 60 people in the Shen family today. If there are many people, it is inevitable that they will be greedy for money.


    No, some people know the existence of the Xu family from their subordinates. They also know that there is an old lady with shallow eyelids in the Xu family. They try to buy Xu Bai''s family with a lot of money and ask her to give her a gift.


    Xu Bai''s stay in Shen''s house was really boring, so he came out to walk around the street. When I had enough, I went to a familiar teahouse to have a cup of tea. Unexpectedly, I met a rich young woman, who called herself Liu, and flattered her. She was not only invited to drink first-class tea, but also ordered the most expensive snack box, which cost ten Liang silver. In the past, Xu Bai''s only came here to order a pot of cheap black tea and dishes of melon seeds and peanuts. How could he be willing to eat such an expensive snack?


    Bai Shi always has some experience here. He knows that the other party''s hospitality must be something. She''s just a half old woman. What can she do? After eating, drinking and enjoying, he ate more than half of the box of snacks and drank two pots of tea. When the other party saw that she had enough to eat and drink, she said the matter with a smile. Xu Bai thought that the other party had a big deal!


    As soon as he heard that he was just helping to pass a message, the other party would give him a hundred taels of filial piety, and then give him two hundred taels when it was finished. When she saw the white money, she didn''t want to do anything. No matter whether it was good or bad, she was full of money.


    She also knew in her heart that this was not an open and aboveboard matter. No one told her when she got home, and she told the little girl who followed her not to say it. The next day, while her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law were embroidering in her room, she only said that she was wandering in the garden. Ann thought that she was at home and could not cause any trouble, so she didn''t care about her.


    Leisurely is looking at the gift list inside and outside. All these things have to be transcribed one by one. Which ones should be returned and which ones should not be returned. Whether the return should be thickened or deleted is different for each family. We need to think about it patiently and carefully.


    Seeing Xu Bai''s coming, he stood up and saluted leisurely. "How can my aunt come here when she''s free? Please have a seat. Come on, tea


    The maid brought tea and a dish of snacks. Bai took a sip of tea and felt that it was better than the two pots he drank in the teahouse. Look at the furnishings in this room. Even though she has limited vision, she can see that there are some good things in this room. Take a look at the dress of this niece''s daughter-in-law. Since she came here, I haven''t seen her wearing heavy jewelry. Sometimes, her clothes change several times a day.


    When Bai thought about her daughter again, she had to be careful when she bought a gold hairpin for the new year. Suddenly, she felt that heaven was really unfair! Thinking of this, she boldly said, "you are responsible for all the affairs in the house. Thanks to your intelligence and ability, everything is proper. I often say to yinlian, "if you have time, learn more from your sister-in-law of the Shen family. If you can learn something, it will be very useful in your life."


    Leisurely or the first time to listen to the other party boast, her heart is dark, the first reaction is not know what the old lady is going to do? But he said with a silent smile, "my aunt flattered me, and I just reluctantly supported her. Besides, I didn''t have to do anything. I was able to do everything. My sister Xi helped me with a lot of things, but she didn''t make any jokes. I think sister yinlian has made great progress in the past two months. By the way, why did my aunt come by herself this time? Didn''t you bring your sister-in-law with you? "


    "They are busy making new year''s clothes. Besides, I have something serious to talk to my nephew and daughter-in-law this time. I don''t like to make noise with them. "


    Here comes the meat! Leisurely in the heart secret way, complexion as usual of ask "don''t know table aunt say of is what matter?" Bai said what granny Liu had entrusted, but it was nothing more than litigation. Granny Liu''s mother-in-law used to be an imperial merchant who supplied fat and flour to the royal family. A few days ago, because a batch of gouache in the palace was not good, they were arrested by the internal affairs department. Liu''s money was spent like running water, but he didn''t get anyone. I don''t know whose advice he heard this time, but he found leisurely here.


    After listening leisurely, he looked at Bai sitting opposite and asked with a smile, "what did Mrs. Xu just say? I didn''t understand


    Seeing that she was smiling, Bai thought that the other party would be happy. She thought so, but it was just a matter of saying hello. Granny Liu was willing to honor Shen Ze''s daughter-in-law for three thousand taels of silver! Did not hear each other''s address, has changed from aunt to Mrs. Xu. Bai said the matter again and said with a smile, "zege''s daughter-in-law, three thousand taels of silver is not a small number. Besides, the grandmother of the Liu family looks very sad. It''s just a matter of lifting a hand with you. If you can help, you can help others."


    "She''s pathetic? If I help with this, it will be me. I can''t tell you this clearly. I''d better let cousin Xu tell you in person. " With that, he told the servant girl to invite Xu Changhui and his wife to come.


    Seeing that leisurely really wanted to find her son and daughter-in-law, Bai Shi was also in a hurry. She did not stop the servant girl. She said with a wry smile, "my niece''s daughter-in-law doesn''t want to earn the money. Why do you have to tell my son and daughter-in-law?"


    Leisurely cold look at her, "I said, I can''t tell you this. My cousin is a master who has a reputation. It''s better for him to explain it to you in person."


    When they heard that leisurely had something to ask for, Xu Changhui and his wife still had some doubts, but the couple came quickly. When they saw Bai sitting on the chair with his arms retracted, the couple took a look at each other and saw the deep helplessness in each other''s eyes.


    Xu Changhui took a look at his mother. Bai didn''t dare to look at him at all. He glanced his head to the other side. Seeing this, there is something Xu Changhui doesn''t understand. It must be his mother''s fault.


    Ann and her husband looked at each other and said, "I don''t know what happened when my cousin came to us, and whether my mother did something wrong. My mother is a little confused when she is old. Don''t be angry with her cousin. "


    Bai''s daughter-in-law dared to say that she was old and confused. In a hurry, she was about to stand up and jump. She was stared back by her son.

 Chapter 312

    He said leisurely and calmly, "it''s because I know my aunt''s temperament that I invite my cousins to come here. Both of you are knowledgeable. I think you should know how big the charge of "soliciting litigation" is? If a quarrel is not good, even my uncle''s position may not be guaranteed. I''ve never been involved in these incidents. I didn''t expect that my aunt would be a lobbyist now. She wanted me to go to the Yamen of the internal affairs office to get people. "


    Speaking of this, I took a leisurely look at Bai''s "cousin". She really looked up at me. She thought I was a man with eyes and hands? Who can get it? Who dares to get it? "


    She took a deep breath, looked at Xu''s husband and wife, and said in a deep voice, "I know that my aunt is so confused and used to be. It''s just before, but it can''t be like this any more. Now that she is only a relative, she dares to do these things for my family. In the future, when Xu''s cousin becomes an official, he doesn''t know what will happen. I don''t dare to be disrespectful to my elders. I hope you can persuade me more when you go back. In any case, it can never happen again today. Otherwise, even if I don''t speak, my uncle will not give up. "


    Hearing the speech, Xu Changhui and his wife quickly stood up and apologized. Xu Changhui''s red face bowed to the end and said, "today''s thing is that I can''t persuade my mother. Please rest assured that there will never be such a thing again. "


    Seeing that he said it solemnly, he leisurely said, "it''s just that. Fortunately, before it can''t be turned around, I''ll leave it to my cousin. I hope he can take care of it clearly. I don''t want to have another disturbance about it. "


    Xu Changhui nodded, "please rest assured, my cousin. I have a sense of propriety in my heart." Finish saying, then with an Shi, took Bai Shi to walk.


    After they left, Su he asked, "I don''t know if Mr. Xu can control Mrs. Xu. The maid thought that if something like this happened, grandma would be furious, and then... "The words behind didn''t come out.


    Leisurely but interface way "then drive their family out?" She chuckled and shook her head. "Are we really serious relatives? How can we do such a thing at the end of this year? Uncle and grandmother of the Xu family are not bad. They always have to give them some face. What''s more, it''s better for Mrs. Xu to put it under our noses than to get it outside. We''ll know what happens to her more quickly. "


    Willow leaves praise a way in the side "or the grandmother thinks well, the maidservant can''t understand these winding things." Leisurely smile to look at her one eye, "you this disposition is very good, looks like a happy life." Leisurely quite like willow leaf this disposition, simple but not stupid. Although she suffered so much as a child, she always acted with kindness. He is not cynical because of his own misfortune, which is that leisurely himself may not be able to do.


    At this time, Su he looked at the willow leaves and said, "well, didn''t you take half a day off to see your aunt? Why haven''t you left yet? "


    Liu Ye suddenly blushed and said uneasily, "I''ve been there, and I''ve come back. I''ll go and tidy up what I''ve collected today. " Then he ran away.


    She was surprised and said, "I didn''t do much to her. Why is she running so fast?" Leisurely but thought of what, shook his head and chuckled. In all, Liu Ye is very old. In another year, he will be twenty. Although most of the maids marry later, it''s not easy to get married any later. The aunt who wants to come to LiuYe must be anxious to find someone else for her.


    In the evening, leisurely when there is no one else around, he calls the willow leaves to him and asks with a smile, "I''m going to your aunt''s house this afternoon. Did your aunt say goodbye to you?"


    Willow leaves surprised to ask "grandma how to know?" Just on the leisurely banter smile, can''t help being shy. Leisurely smile "do you still need to ask? It depends on how you guess. What did your aunt tell you? What''s the character of the other party? "


    Liu Ye pouted and said, "I haven''t met that man either. My aunt only said that his family lived in the northern suburb, three years younger than me, and now they have the reputation of a child. He also has 100 mu of land in his family. His first elder brother has passed away, so I can be the master of the family when I get married. " Leisurely eyebrow a pick "listen is not bad." Liu Ye sneered, "grandma also teased me. I don''t know what my family is like. If it''s so good, how can I get it! Besides, that man is so much younger than me. Should I look for my husband or my son? "


    Listening to this, leisurely "poof Chi" a smile "you this wench, the mouth is also quite poor. Since you don''t like it, you can choose again. Now that you are in the prince''s national filial piety, these things can''t be done in a big way. Moreover, the suitable ones are not so easy to find. Let''s find them slowly first, and we will always meet the ones we like. Don''t worry. "


    Liu Ye''s ears are red with shame, but she still bears the shame and says, "I''m not in a hurry. Now I''m with my grandmother, and I don''t want anything. I have good food and clothing, and it''s good not to go out all my life. But my aunt always wants to let me out. She always loves me, and I don''t want to be too rebellious. "


    Leisurely clapped her hand, "I know you are a loyal girl, but when a girl is old, she always has to find someone else. Your aunt really loves you too. Last time she asked my cousin to make peace with me for fear that I would not let you out. You don''t have to feel sorry. In fact, it''s not just you, it''s Su He. As long as you like, I''d like you to go out and find a good family and live a down-to-earth life. "


    When Shen Ze came back, he leisurely told Xu Bai what he had done in the daytime. Shen Ze chin said, "it''s just a few clowns. They can''t make waves. Don''t worry. I''ll let people watch."


    These days, the king of Liang is proud and radiant, and the emperor finally acquiesced to his future status as the crown prince. Naturally, the king of Liang is very happy, but he tries to restrain himself to show the same demeanor. Just at the end of the new year, Liang Wang was so happy that he rowed the good things in his private library and gave them to all the women in his backyard. Of course, Shen Tian got the most, but she got the same things as Shen Tian, including some valuable things.


    Although Xiang Shi was upset for a few days, the man, after a long time, was coaxed by Xiaoyi and put his past behind him. Therefore, Xiang Shi gradually regained the favor of the king of Liang. In addition, Xiang''s grandfather, the Minister of rites, secretly contributed to the selection of the prince for the year-end sacrifice. Therefore, the king of Liang also gave her a kind of appreciation.


    Others pour just, just a few wenches around Shen Tian are quite unfair. When Qinghe was dressing Shen Tian up, he said, "if it wasn''t for the empress''s trouble this time, how could Wei''s mother and son be killed like this? Now the benefits have become others. I''m not greedy for those things. I just feel aggrieved for my mother! "

 Chapter 313

    Shen Tian said with a smile, "what''s wrong with this? From the beginning, they and I didn''t want the same things. I never cared about these things. By the way, what happened to the last time I asked you? Is everyone ready? "


    Qinghe said, "I''ve found them all. They''re from the group of dead men we raised since we were young. They''re all delicate and beautiful women from 12 to 15 years old. They were all chosen according to Wang Ye''s preference, and now Mr. Yuan is teaching them poetry, songs and Fu. " Shen Tian nodded, "besides being more thoughtful, we master is used to working hard on women. It''s really cheap for him. It''s a pity... "Thinking of what Han said, Shen Tian didn''t know whether to be happy or sad.


    When Xiang was pregnant, she had frequent accidents. Later, although she gave birth to a girl, she died before reaching the full moon. Xiang Shi said that she was not in front of the king of Liang, but the king of Liang had his own opinion on this point. He knew that Shen Tian was not the one who would attack children like that. Looking at the two lively and healthy concubines and one concubine girl already in the mansion, Shen Tian not only never treated them harshly in terms of food and clothing, but also paid attention to their etiquette. Don''t mention the concubines, even the legitimate sons of the brothers can''t compare with his two concubines. Of course, his two legitimate sons are better.


    The king of Liang is not stupid either. Shen Tian''s own son is out of the ordinary, and he is willing to teach his sons so well. Now the feelings between the four brothers are quite harmonious. How could she fight Xiang''s daughter? what? You said Xiang''s status was higher than those two, but you gave birth to a daughter. Why do people bother to deal with a girl? Even if you have a healthy son, you have already lost in the status and etiquette.


    Think of these things, Shen Tian smile, these women ah!


    Seeing that her master zihun didn''t care about Xiang, Qinghe said, "I heard that she asked her mother to go to the famous Cigu nunnery in the eastern suburbs for an amulet, and got back many secret recipes for giving birth. Her lord often goes to her these days. What should she do if she really gets what she wants? "


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "what if you get what you want? Just a concubine! As long as the boss himself is good enough, it doesn''t matter if he has a hundred concubines. If he can''t be supported by mud, no matter how much I plan for him, it will be nothing. This person, that is life. God will give you what he wants, but it''s no use asking for what he doesn''t want. "


    Then he turned over the things on the table and said with a smile, "it seems that our Lord has got a lot of good things this time." She looked at it once, pointed to the two boxes and said, "send the Hotan jade Wuzi pen holder, the bamboo carving pen holder with the reminiscent pattern of Chibi and the incense holder with the pattern of lotus to Le''an." Then he pointed to a box and said, "send this pair of Ruyi pattern copper sleeve stove, together with those Zhangrong and zhangsatin, to granny Ze." The servant girl agreed to go.


    Leisurely received things, but also stay Leng for a while, because the new year''s Day Shen Tian has given her home back. These things are not very valuable, but they are very practical. When she saw the Ruyi pattern on the sleeve stove, she thought that it was affirmation for her. She chuckled and turned to let the servant girl put away the things.


    In this year, the emperor lost four children in succession, and his mood was not much better. It''s just getting better, so it''s getting heavier. Many people think that his majesty will not be able to make it through this time. Even the royal banquet on the eve of the festival is hasty.


    Who would like to turn after the new year, with the gradual warming of the weather, lundeti''s body has gradually improved. Even the queen, who was once ill in bed, regained her old look. On Shangsi Festival on the third day of March, the empress and her family members went to Huangjue temple in Yangtian mountain to burn incense and pray for the peace of the country and the people.


    The emperor and empress both got better, and the emperor gradually returned to his former diligent state. Some people feel a sigh of relief, while others feel an unspeakable loss. They are all human spirits. No matter what they think in their hearts, their faces show their expectation and blessing for the health of the emperor and empress.


    After Longde emperor''s health improved, some people noticed that the sixth Prince and the seventh prince, who had just reached the age of 13, often accompanied the emperor. Liang Wang, who was the most popular prince in the past, was not paid as much attention as before. Even to leisurely here post are less, but some human nature, leisurely has been used to see, but did not feel any discomfort.


    On the contrary, when Xu Bai saw that Shen''s family was left out in the cold, he could not help muttering to his daughter, "look, when you are proud, you are not compatible. Now there is no one in the family, right? Retribution Years ago, because of the business of the Liu family, Xu Bai was scolded by his son. He didn''t let her go out for two months and stopped her monthly silver.


    Xu Bai''s family wanted to fight back, but his son was holding all the frightening deeds of selling his life. Those old slaves who used to be used to in their hometown were sold by their sons. Now they are nothing more than an honest and stupid old lady and an eight or nine year old girl. She has a few hundred taels of silver that she has saved over the years, and she is not willing to spend it. How can she help others? Fortunately, leisurely also has a large greenhouse and two rooms specially used for growing vegetables. In this winter, it''s not easy to look green. Xu Bai''s daily visit to these two places can also kill some time.


    Yinlian''s mouth is about to start talking nonsense again. She can''t help caressing her forehead. Now she advises, "he Niang has said it many times. Don''t say right or wrong behind her back. Now you live in other people''s houses, use other people''s houses, and eat fresh vegetables and fruits given by others every day. It''s not enough to be grateful. Now you say that people are not. You''re really full. "


    After hearing this, Bai nodded her forehead, "you child, how can you turn your elbow out?"


    Yinlian put the bracelet on her hand to the sunlight outside and said to her mother with a smile, "Niang, do you think my bracelets are more transparent?"


    Bai''s not angry look at her, "so what? Look, you''re in the mood. It''s just a pair of bracelets that will buy you off. Why don''t you see what other people''s sister-in-law is wearing? It''s not promising! "


    Smell speech silver lotus opened a pair of apricot eyes to say "Niang, you say this is what words?"? Sister Xi is her cousin''s sister-in-law. She is a member of her own family. She should face her own family. I''m just a cousin from other countries. I''m a new year''s old girl, not to mention food and drink. I''ve been given two clothes, two pieces of material, several kinds of jewelry and a big box of palace flowers. They''re all good things. I haven''t seen them before. This bracelet is better than the one my mother pressed on the bottom of the box. Why did it fall from my mother''s mouth? If you have the ability, take off all the clothes you''re wearing and the forehead you''re wearing

 Chapter 314

    After being robbed by her daughter, Bai had no temper. "OK, my daughter is right. It''s my mother''s fault. I won''t say that again. Isn''t that right?"


    Silver lotus slants her one eye "originally shouldn''t say, is not a daughter, I don''t like you, depend on you to do that matter, change a narrow-minded early drive our family out.". If my brother is distracted and delays next year''s examination, then there will be a time for you to cry! In the future, mother, you must control your mouth and talk less and listen less. "


    Bai said with a helpless smile, "OK, I''ll listen to my daughter. It''s also the sin of the last life. When you give birth to your brother and sister, one is more powerful than the other. We should all shout back. "


    Over the past few months, yinlian has also made great progress. She has learned how to give a sweet jujube with a stick. She said with a leisurely smile, "didn''t my mother say that my cousin gave me a beautiful piece of lake blue material last time? It seems that spring will be warm when it opens. I made a spring shirt for my mother with that material. I''ll try it for my mother. "


    When he got his daughter''s new clothes of filial piety, Bai had no anger at all. Now she just wants the weather to be hotter so that she can put on her new clothes and go out again.


    A January, leisurely uncle''s big cousin Yang Che and cousin Xiuyun family together came to leisurely home to visit. It turns out that Xiuyun''s husband also won the Ju Ren exam the year before last. This time, he specially invited his brother-in-law to attend the Spring Festival. Yang Che was seriously ill at the end of his last spring outing. Unfortunately, he missed the chance. Nothing happened this time.


    The two families were originally planning to live in Yang Lu''s house. Later, when leisurely knew about it, she strongly invited them to live in her own house. There is a spare yard at home, which is more than enough for them.


    During the Spring Festival, Enron went back to persuade him personally. He said to his big cousin, "it''s reasonable to invite my cousin and cousin''s family to live in my house. But my cousin in that house has seen so many rooms. In recent years, some servants have been added. There is no room left. The new house doesn''t even have a piece of furniture, so it can''t be occupied. Since there is still a yard in my sister''s house, my cousin just lives in the past, but he is not an outsider. Why be so polite? Besides, there are only three main rooms in the yard where the second cousin lives. How can you open it when both of you have gone


    Yang Che was older than you ran, so he didn''t say a few words, so he always felt strange. After listening to Enron''s words, he felt his chin in embarrassment. "In this way, would it be too troublesome for his cousin?"


    Enron said with a smile, "second cousin is my sister''s capable man now. If you go to his house, he can''t spare time and mind to take care of you? Who''s going to help him with his job? On the contrary, it''s better for you to live directly in your sister''s house and have servants to take care of everything, so you can''t be tired of your sister. What''s more, although my brother-in-law abandoned literature and went to martial arts, he was worshipped by my master before me. My brother-in-law''s literary talent is not below me. My cousin has time to discuss it with my brother-in-law, saying that he can''t make some profits. "


    Only this moved Yang Che. As for Xiuyun''s husband, he just followed his brother-in-law. Naturally, he could live in anyone''s house. As soon as Xiuyun heard that she was going to live in her cousin''s house, she said to her husband, "well, I haven''t seen my cousin for several years, and I don''t know what happened to her now. Even my aunt, I haven''t seen her for two or three years. This time, I''ll go with my husband. First, I''ll walk around with my relatives. Second, I''ll help him manage his daily life. What do you think of him? "


    Xiuyun''s husband is naturally willing, even her father-in-law and mother-in-law are willing to go and walk with such relatives. So this meeting, everyone came to leisurely home together.


    Leisurely already let people tidy up the yard, just the northeast corner there is a guest yard to show cloud a house just right. Yang Che arranged in the room next to Shen Ze''s study. Hengli now Shen Ze has another place to deal with secret affairs. Here are just some books on a large scale, nothing that can''t be read by outsiders.


    Leisurely originally intended to let big cousin and Xiuyun''s family live in a crowded yard. Later, she felt that it was not appropriate, so she made such an arrangement after consulting her husband. Yang Che only brought a little boy over, and when he saw this, he assigned a woman to help with some chores. Since the new year passed, leisurely thought about when they would come. Now when she met her relatives, she naturally wished. At the same time, let the servants help carry the luggage and pack up things, while carrying Xiuyun''s hand to the flower hall. As for Yang Che and Youran, after meeting each other, they have Shen''s family in charge and Shen Jiang''s reception in the outer courtyard. Youran also specially asked someone to invite Uncle Xu to accompany them.


    Leisurely, seeing that Xiuyun only brought a woman and a little maid with her head, she couldn''t help asking, "I remember when you got married, didn''t you buy a bigger maid? Why didn''t you bring it? "


    Xiuyun said with a smile, "you said Xiaomei, she got married last year, and now she has a big stomach, so I didn''t bring her. It happens that she can also help me take care of the big boy at home. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "the last time I saw Shiwa, he was not much older than his daughter. Now he should be a big guy. Even if I met him on the road, I''m afraid I don''t know him." Xiuyun''s genial smile "isn''t it? Children are growing fast, let alone two years, two months have not seen a big change


    See the little daughter in Xiuyun''s arms cute, leisurely busy smile, beckoning "come on, girl, give your aunt a hug."


    She''s just over a year old this year. She''s just beginning to learn to talk. It''s the most fun time. See leisurely toward her wave also don''t recognize life, open two arms then toward leisurely fly toward. Leisurely reached out and held her in his arms. "Oh, this child doesn''t look so fat, but it''s not light weight!"


    Xiuyun nods helplessly and says, "isn''t it? This little girl is not fat on her face. Her flesh is strong. Look at her fat arms. How can I find my mother-in-law''s family when I''m old? "


    Leisurely some speechless said, "how old is she? Do you want to find her mother-in-law? It''s too early to worry. What''s more, children are still chubby and good-looking. When they grow up, they will lose weight naturally. By the way, I forgot to ask my cousin just now. Why didn''t my eldest cousin live with me for a few days? "


    Xiuyun said, "now there are many things at home. The eldest cousin has to serve the elderly, take care of three children, and spring ploughing. So she has no time."


    He nodded leisurely, "that''s true. My cousin has always been able to do it."

 Chapter 315

    Xiuyun left very early in the morning. They started from home before dawn. It was just the end of the day when they arrived here. After putting down the luggage, he sat down and said a few words. Yang Che said that he would go and greet Lin Mu first.


    Leisurely''s original intention is to let them fix up and go tomorrow, but seeing that they insist, he goes with them and takes them to the Lin family. Lin''s mother was very happy to see her nephew, niece and son-in-law. She was very busy and asked people to serve good tea and snacks.


    Zhuang Shu and Enron married, although several people have come, but Zhuang Shu did not meet them, today is the first time to meet. Xiuyun was originally afraid that such an official miss as she would be a little arrogant and difficult to get along with. Later, she was so tender and amiable that she was relieved.


    It''s natural to have a parting relationship when our close relatives meet again after a long separation. Because there was no outsider, the whole family had a lively lunch at noon.


    Today is not a holiday, but after getting the news, Enron and Shen Ze came back from yamen early. After the ceremony, several men moved to the outside study to talk, men naturally have their own way of communication. In a word, when he came home in the evening, Yang Che, who was a little self-confident, hated Shen Ze too late. Feng Quan, the Prime Minister of Xiuyun, also has a look of admiration for Shen Ze.


    On the second day, leisurely invited both Yulian''s mother and daughter and Xu''s family to meet each other and let them know each other. If they didn''t know each other, they would make any jokes.


    In this way, Yang Che and Xiuyun live in the Shen family. Both Yang Che and Feng Quan had to prepare for Chunwei. They usually studied hard in their own rooms. In addition to Xu Changhui, the three occasionally get together to discuss with each other. When waiting for Enron to rest and bathe, I often used to ask some experience of the number one scholar.


    Although Enron is the youngest, it is not only luck that he can win the imperial examination in the year when he is less than the weak champion. Sometimes a few simple comments will benefit Yang Che and others.


    Xu Changhui, in particular, deeply felt that his move to the Shen family was no longer right. He used to be known as Bo Youcai in Jiangnan. To tell you the truth, Xu Changhui always thought that the identity of Enron as the number one scholar was mostly due to the face of Han imperial master. Now, after dealing with each other for several times, I know that I really take it for granted. Although Lin Zhuangyuan is young, he can really be described as "well-educated and talented". I can learn a lot from talking with him. Even these two relatives of Lin Zhuangyuan are also men of solid learning. They will gain something after each exchange.


    Xu Changhui mentioned it several times in front of his mother and daughter-in-law. When Bai heard that his son had benefited, he was very happy, and he didn''t think about other things. But after she heard about it, she thought about it and said, "our cousin is really an open-minded person, because of our strange relationship with her mother. Other people are not willing to help Xianggong like this, but she didn''t do it. If Yang Juren and Yang Juren want to go to the Lin family, she will surely ask someone to come and ask Xianggong to join us. This kind of heart and bearing alone can''t be compared with those of ordinary women. No wonder my cousin didn''t dislike her origin that day and insisted on marrying her. "


    Hearing this, Xu Changhui said, "when the news that my cousin was engaged to my sister-in-law came back to Jinzhou, I didn''t know how many old relatives were waiting to see my sister-in-law''s jokes. It''s just that soon his brother won the first prize. Today, Mr. Lin is also a senior official of grade three. However, he is only in his early twenties. He can''t get into the cabinet in the future! With such a promising younger brother, now, who dares to say that cousin''s identity does not match cousin''s? Look at other people''s relatives. According to them, there are five or six scholars and two of them. That''s the real sign of a prosperous family. "


    An Shi said with a smile, "Xianggong''s words are very true. I look at that lady Lin and granny Feng. Although they are from small families, they have very good manners in speaking and doing things. At a glance, I know that the family is well bred. I don''t know if there are any unmarried teenagers in my cousin''s relatives. " Speaking of the end, the voice is gradually lower down. She wants to be close to others, but her cousin doesn''t necessarily look up to her sister-in-law.


    Xu Changhui didn''t hear an''s last words to himself. He suddenly touched his chin and said, "it''s a pity that the Shen family, brother Jiang, is just a white man. He doesn''t have the determination to test his fame again. In the future, he will only play for his cousin and can''t do much. Otherwise, my younger sister is about the same age as him. I can consider giving him my younger sister. " After hearing this, an''s eyes rolled silently in his heart. Even if Shen Jiang was just a white man, he was determined to get married because of the importance he was attached to in Shen Ze''s family. You''ve picked people up. I''m afraid Shen Ze and his wife don''t like their sister-in-law!


    Although in the heart thinks like this, but on an Shi''s face actually did not show half cent to the aunt''s disdain. Besides, my sister-in-law has made a lot of progress in the past six months. She said with a smile, "my sister is still young. There''s no need to rush about it. I see that my sister''s rules and manners have greatly improved. When my husband becomes a scholar, I''m afraid that I can''t find a good family for her? "


    Xu Changhui felt that what his wife said was very reasonable, so he put it aside and studied hard.


    But an Shi has nothing to do. He often goes to work with Yulian and Xiuyun to do needlework and chat about family customs. They are all of the same age and mild temper, so they get along well.


    Leisurely see them a few of their own play is very good, put down the heart, secretly told Yulian to help more care for some. Since the beginning of spring, the new house has been officially repaired. With a leisurely disposition and the intention to live in the house all the time, naturally everything should be perfect. Shen Ze didn''t have any opinions on this either. He just said with a smile, "everything depends on my wife''s preference." I''ll leave it to you.


    Fortunately, Shen Jiang and Yang Lu help with the errands and chores. Leisurely, they only do the overall work. After drawing the drawings, they only occasionally go to have a look. They don''t have to do everything by themselves. Rao is so, after more than a month, leisurely also thin a circle, straight don''t want Shen Ze heartache. When he saw that his daughter-in-law was in high spirits, it was rare to see that she was so interested in a thing, and he could not bear to disturb her. I had to personally order the kitchen to stew some bird''s nest, flower glue and other supplements every day, so as to nourish her. If there is anything I can do, I will try my best to do more, so that leisurely can be relaxed.


    Bai, who likes to wander around, went to the Shen''s kitchen to see bird''s nest porridge. When chatting with the cook, he knew that leisurely always took this daily meal to eat. He couldn''t help smacking his tongue. "Your grandmother really enjoys it. It''s expensive. This small cup costs two liang silver, right?"

 Chapter 316

    The cook also put on a special show, and said with a smile, "more than that, these are the top official swallows. They were given to our grandmother by the princess of Rongjun. It costs more than seven hundred taels of silver a catty, and a small one costs four or five taels of silver. There is still a price but no market. Most people can''t buy it if they want to. Only a few people in the palace can get it. Our grandmother and the princess of Rongjun are always close, and the empress will give it to our grandmother. "


    After a few "tut tut", Bai turned his head and saw a big blue and white porcelain bowl beside him, which was soaked in water with some yellowish brown translucent things, which he had never seen before. "What''s this?" he asked curiously


    The cook took a look and said with a smile, "this is peach gum, also called peach blossom tears. It''s something growing on the peach tree. It''s said that after eating it, you can nourish your face with blood, and it''s also a nourishing saint. "


    Bai asked, "is this for your grandmother, too?"


    The cook nodded, "isn''t that right? Our grandmother everyday is a bowl of bird''s nest every day, every two days and then some peach gum, donkey hide gelatin, snow lotus and other things. This is for grandma and big girl to eat in the evening. It''s hard. It takes six or seven hours to soak. I came here early in the morning and I''ll do it in the evening. "


    Bai strolled around again, in addition to red dates, medlar, snow lotus and many other tonics, what sea cucumber, abalone and so on are not a few. It turns out that people eat these things when they are not hospitable? She was even more tongue smacking in her heart. You can''t help asking, "are all these good things your grandmother eats everyday? Tut Tut, how much will it cost this day? " The cook took a look at her and said, "our uncle said that as long as grandma likes, she can eat whatever she wants? I don''t care how much money it costs. That''s right, but our grandmother is not the loser''s daughter-in-law. Most of the things here are from relatives and friends, which are much better than those sold outside. There are very few people who really spend money on it. "


    The cook who likes to show off her wealth shows off a lot. Bai goes back to his yard and sighs on the stone bench. When can he be like his nephew''s daughter-in-law? This superior official swallow usually serves as a meal?


    Leisurely has no time to pay attention to these careful thoughts of Bai Shi. She is really busy now. It''s not easy to have some rules at the other end of the house. This end is going to spring Wei soon. Leisurely, as the hostess of the family, sees that there are three candidates in the family who want to take the exam. Naturally, it''s not good to ask nothing. All the things that should be arranged should be taken care of one by one.


    Fortunately, several people have accumulated experience all the way through the imperial examination, and their stomachs are also full of real materials, so they are not too nervous.


    On the day of the examination, before dawn, three candidates started to line up outside the Gongyuan. Leisurely arranged the carriage and servants early in the morning, for fear that it would be too heavy. On the contrary, it made the three people nervous. Therefore, she and Shen Ze just sent them to the second gate and said a few lucky words, but Ann and Xiuyun sent them directly outside the gate.


    An Shi pours just, even if in the mind is worried, on the big surface also can hold, pour is a pair of Xiu cloud worry unceasingly appearance. Leisurely, seeing her like this, he wanted to comfort her and said with a smile, "your brother-in-law and your cousin both say that he is very solid in learning. There are still great opportunities in this subject. What''s more, if you don''t win, my brother-in-law is still so young. In the future, there will always be times when you win the exam. I''ll give you a rush. "


    Xiuyun was embarrassed to smile, sat down and said, "originally, Xianggong was going to try it out, and I didn''t expect him to win the exam once. Originally did not feel what, this meeting son in the mind suddenly felt nervous. It''s said that the conditions in the Gongyuan are very hard. They don''t keep out the wind or rain. I don''t know if Xianggong can survive? "


    Leisurely clapped her hand, "don''t worry, now the Gongyuan is overhauled every year. Compared with the previous dynasty, the number room is more spacious and strict, even if it rains. My brother-in-law''s body looks very healthy. Besides, his family has been through hard times. He has been active since he was a child, and he has a strong body foundation. Surely he will be OK. "


    Seeing that her cousin was still worried, leisurely felt that it was better to divert her attention. So she said with a smile, "I asked the craftsmen to build the flower pool of the new house a few days ago. Today, I''m going to watch them plant flowers. Would you like to go and have a look?" Xiuyun''s eyes brightened as soon as he heard this: "this feeling is good. I''ve heard that my cousin''s family has bought a new house with five entrances. Now it''s good to have a chance to visit. But what about children? "


    Leisurely way "with the children together, with a few servants, there is nothing wrong.". It''s not good for children to stay at home all day. It''s also an opportunity to take them out and relax. "


    Then she sent someone to call Yulian''s mother and daughter. It happened that Ann was talking to Yulian there. She also wanted to go and have a look at it. Leisurely, she didn''t want to, so she took Bai''s mother and daughter with her.


    Bai also knew that leisurely didn''t think much of himself. Now such a good thing is willing to take him, which is also a surprise. For fear that he might say something wrong and make others unhappy, he was unusually quiet all the way, which surprised an Shi and yinlian.


    The carriage entered the house through the side door and stopped at the Chuihua gate. A servant woman had come to clean the inner house, and all the craftsmen gave way for the time being.


    They got out of the carriage and looked up at the Chuihua gate. The vertical flower gate of the new house is a common suspended mountain top. The gate is painted red, with golden plum blossom nails, carved beams and painted buildings, cornices and brackets. It is very imposing, so it is unnecessary to repeat them one by one.


    Leisurely greeting everyone, walking slowly into the chuihuamen, walking back to the courtyard from the plagiarism corridor on both sides. It''s the season of warm spring and blooming flowers. Xiuyun looks at the flowers and trees in the courtyard and asks, "how can the flowers and trees in this house grow so well?"


    Wen Yan said with a smile, "the trees in the garden are still there, but I look at the empty yard. This time, I just want to plant some flowers and plants in front of and behind each courtyard. It doesn''t need to be too expensive. I just want to plant some peonies, peonies, roses, osmanthus and so on to make each courtyard more lively. "


    As they walked along, they almost praised the house, saying that there was something in heaven and nothing on earth. Leisurely busy smile modest a few words, in fact, this house she did not move much, the original master design pattern is very good. In the orthodox northern big houses, the houses are square and facing south. Leisurely also just let craftsmen replace some old doors and windows with new ones and paint them again. He also tidied up the garden and planted some flowers and trees he liked. base


    Originally, the changes in the house and garden were minor, not drastic. After all, leisurely still deeply influenced by previous life, like to use soft to highlight their own decoration style.


    Of course, she is not without big money. For example, we directly demolished a row of back cover houses in the back garden, and built a flower house twice as big as the Shen family''s glass flower house here. Then the windows of the whole house were replaced with bright glass windows.


    Even though glass is not a rarity nowadays, it is really a big expense to replace the windows of the whole house with glass windows. In particular, at the beginning, Bai felt that the house was not very good, but it was a little bigger, especially if there was no furniture. It seemed a little empty, and he didn''t think much of it. When I saw that even the back room had glass windows, I didn''t say a word.


    Bai really wanted to ask how much silver these glass windows used, but he felt embarrassed. Fortunately, Xiuyun helped her to ask, "cousin, is it not a small expense for you to use glass in your house?"

 Chapter 317

    After listening to Xiuyun''s question, he said with a leisurely smile, "it''s not much, plus the glass and craftsman''s fees, it''s only 4500 taels of silver."


    Bai''s heart "tut tut" two, heart way this is not much? Is that the sum of their family? It''s so popular! She has the heart to nag a few words, looking at others with a "should be like this" expression, especially her daughter-in-law also looked at herself from time to time, showing that she was not at ease with herself. Hum, look, where is this daughter-in-law? It turned out to be a living ancestor.


    At the thought of his son, who was taking part in the examination in the Gongyuan, Bai sighed. It''s just other people''s money. People can spend as much as they like. What''s their own business? When his son passed the entrance examination, he became a Gaoming lady, and then gave birth to a rule for his daughter-in-law.


    Over there, Ann''s mother-in-law finally did not say anything inappropriate, and her heart finally relaxed a lot.


    Others are watching the fun, but leisurely, they carefully check the craftsman''s recent work. Some places that don''t agree with their wishes one by one, they talk to a literate boy here and ask him to write it down so that he can tell the craftsmen.


    After visiting the house, it''s almost noon. Leisurely didn''t plan to go home for lunch. She had already planned, so she said with a smile, "it''s almost noon. It''s too late to rush back for dinner. There''s a Jufeng building nearby. The food is very good. I''ve asked someone to book a private room. Let''s go now. "


    She was a little embarrassed and said with a smile, "it''s enough trouble for my cousin. How can I let her spend money like this again?"


    Leisurely don''t care smile "what''s the point? It''s just a meal. It''s so easy for us to come out. We should have a good look. There is a Wenchang temple on the west mountain near here, which supplies Manjusri Bodhisattva. Although it''s not big, it''s very popular. After a while, we''ll go there to burn incense and ask the Bodhisattva to protect them. "


    After listening to this suggestion, everyone said it was excellent.


    The food in jufenglou is numerous in the whole capital. Needless to say, the food is good in color, fragrance and leisurely. We ordered a lot of dishes according to our own taste. We all enjoyed it very much.


    After dinner, leisurely wanted to take them to the nearby streets, but several people were anxious to go to Wenchang temple, so leisurely followed them to Wenchang temple.


    Although it was afternoon, the pilgrims in the temple were still coming and going. Seeing such a scene, people are not unhappy. On the contrary, they feel that the place is so fragrant that Bodhisattvas must be effective. Everyone waited outside the hall for a while before they could enter.


    Now that they all came in, leisurely also kowtowed his head and asked his servants to offer him twenty taels of sesame oil money. Both an Shi and Xiuyun pray for their husbands and have their own thoughts. Even Bai, who had always been a bit stingy, took out ten taels of silver to donate. He couldn''t help praying to the bodhisattva that his son would pass the entrance examination. Only in this way can she have the chance to be a beautiful old fenggao. In the future, she will also buy a big house in the capital, where she can take bird''s nest and donkey hide gelatin to eat in rotation every day. Think about these beautiful future, Bai will not feel the pain of money.


    After the incense, it was late, so they got on the carriage and went back. When we got home, everyone was tired and went back to their rooms to have a rest.


    It''s a fine day today. After walking around outside, I also sweat a lot. Leisurely went back to his room, took a bath and changed his soft home clothes. Pingge''er used to tease the koi in the pond with a branch in the back garden. He heard the little servant girl say that her mother had come back and that she would run this way with her legs as soon as she threw the branch. He just learned to walk these days, but he can''t walk easily. The nurse is afraid that he will fall, so she holds him up and comes to leisurely here.


    When they came, leisurely just came out after changing clothes. I haven''t seen my little son for a long time. When I saw him waving to me with two arms outstretched, I felt warm in my heart. I didn''t care about the mud on the boy''s body, so I held him over. Smile of tease him "Ping elder brother son today good not good?"? Did you listen to your mother? " Pingge''er nodded and put his hand around his mother''s neck. He rubbed his little face against her face, which made his heart melt. No matter how much wind and sand he had on his face when he came in from outside, he hugged his little face and kissed it several times. When the nurse saw their mother''s love, she said, "the second young master is thinking about grandma. At noon, he would not eat well when grandma was away. We coaxed him, but we ate half a bowl of egg soup and drank two mouthfuls of fish porridge. Today, I didn''t sleep at all during the day. I''m very sad all day. Now I''m more energetic when I look at my grandmother. "


    When he left in the morning, leisurely originally planned to take his little son with him. But he thought that the child went to bed late yesterday and didn''t wake up in the morning, so leisurely didn''t take him. After listening to the nurse''s words, she would smile and scrape her son''s little nose, "you little bastard, is it strange that your mother didn''t take you out to play? Are you naughty at home again? I can''t blame you for not getting up early in the morning! "


    Then she saw some stains on pingge''er''s face, and asked the servant girl to take a wet pad to wipe his face. Maybe I feel comfortable after wiping my face, or I feel at ease after seeing my mother-in-law. After a while, brother Ping is sleepy like a chicken pecking rice. The nurse quickly opened her hands to pick him up. She waved her hand leisurely, held him in her arms and patted him gently. After a while, brother Ping fell asleep and breathed evenly.


    Seeing that he was fast asleep, leisurely originally wanted to put him in his room to sleep. Outside, Su he came in and said, "Princess Le''an sent someone to send some bananas."


    Smell speech, leisurely then handed the child to nurse "you take him to that room to sleep." Nanny took it lightly, and went to watch pingge''er sleep without mentioning it.


    Leisurely see them go out, square voice asks a way "come of which, call her to come over." It''s the second-class servant girl Qi Yun who just came up beside Fang Xinsu. Qi Yun came to see the ceremony, and said with a smile, "our mother just got a basket of pink bananas from the palace today. It''s still fresh to see, so she asked the maid to send some to grandma."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "congratulations on your promotion to the second class. You used to be a little girl who just left her head when you first came to the princess, but now you have become a powerful servant girl. Your mother is a good master. It''s good for you to serve her in peace. "


    Qi Yun was sitting on the Wu. Hearing this, she stood up. When she finished speaking, she replied with a smile, "thank you for your instruction. Naturally, the maid will try her best to serve her. Please rest assured." Said that this Qi cloud is originally leisurely in Fang Xin Su side to wait on, helping to pick a rough little girl, at that time she was only six or seven years old. Later, she followed Fang Xinsu all the time. Although she had a mediocre qualification, she was very reliable. Now she is a second-class servant girl. Because of some leading edge, leisurely will say more today.


    Seeing that she was so respectful, he waved her to sit down and said, "you''re a good child. I don''t worry about it. I''m just telling you in vain. There are a lot of things in my family these days, and I haven''t been to see your mother for some days. How''s your master recently? "


    After hearing this, Qi Yun hesitated and said, "it''s OK."

 Chapter 318

    Leisurely, hearing the hesitation in Qi Yun''s tone, he asked, "but what''s the matter with your mother?"


    Qi Yun bit his lip and replied, "it''s not difficult, but our Lord has made a rotten peach blossom. Do you know the eldest lady of the Bofeng family in Ding''an? "


    Leisurely thought around, and then asked, "but the one who was born as a common girl but was raised by Mrs. Ding Anbo all the time? I remember that she had been at home for a few years since she left. I haven''t heard from her for a long time? Yes? Does your prince have anything to do with her? "


    Qi Yun stamped his feet and said, "isn''t that her? When he left, he had to pretend to be reserved and threatened that he would never marry again. It is said that there are many people in Beijing who don''t dislike her as a remarriage and want to hire her, but Miss Feng refuses to do so. In the past, our mother praised her a few times, saying that she had backbone and so on. I didn''t expect that people didn''t want to remarry at all. They just wanted to climb high! Now I even want to marry to our prince''s house, and say that even if I am only a little concubine, I will be satisfied to be with our Lord. Listen to me, madam. What is it called? Is this man too cheeky? How can anyone rush to be a concubine like this? "


    After listening to Qi Yun''s words, I can''t help worrying about Fang Xinsu. Since the servant girl happened that year, the relationship between Fang Xinsu and Qi Heng has been alienated. Just listen to the last few words of Qiyun, you can know that Miss Feng is a schemer. A bright white lotus! This kind of woman''s wife naturally won''t like it, but most men like it.


    Leisurely knows that it depends on Qi Heng''s attitude in the end. So he asked, "what did your Lord say?"


    Qi Yun shook his head and said, "our Lord has sent the Feng family away. I just heard that Miss Feng is not willing to give up


    After all, she is only a second-class servant girl, and some inside information is not very clear. After a moment''s deliberation, he said softly, "OK, I know about this. You go back first. I have fresh cherries just sent by Chuang Tzu. The water is fresh. I only have half a basket. Your mother likes to eat this, you take it back to her. Let her just relax, the sky falls down, there is a high top. I''ll visit her in person tomorrow


    Smell speech, Qi cloud happily say "that sentiment is good, our Niang Niang have what worry also don''t love to say with us. The lady used to talk to the empress, but she was more or less relieved. We maidservants are grateful to the lady. Tomorrow I will prepare good tea and snacks for you, madam


    Leisurely smile, said, "OK, I will be there tomorrow. It''s not too early for this meeting. If it''s too late and it''s dark, it''s hard to walk on the road. I''ll leave you here. " So Qiyun thanks and leaves.


    When Shen Ze came back in the evening, he saw the banana and said with a smile, "this thing is rare now. Is it from Princess Le''an?"


    Leisurely light a smile way "you guess of pour accurate, isn''t she let a person send?"? I''ve tasted this sweet, waxy one. It''s delicious. Would you like to try it? " Then he reached out and peeled one and handed it to Shen Ze.


    Shen Ze doesn''t really like to eat fruit, but seeing that his daughter-in-law has peeled and handed it to him, it''s hard to say that he doesn''t want to eat it. After that, he quickly eats up the five divided by two. After eating, hit your mouth and say, "well, it tastes good."


    Voice did not fall, only leisurely and handed over a come over, Shen Ze said with a smile, "this is still for the wife to eat, for the husband has eaten."


    Leisurely eyebrows pick, said with a smile, "I know you don''t like to eat these, but this thing moistens the intestines, didn''t you say that you were angry yesterday? Eat this to moisten your intestines. " Wen Yan Shen Ze had no choice but to take over and eat it. Fortunately, this kind of banana is small. There are not two of them, and they are finished in a short time.


    Shen Ze rinsed his tea, and then said, "it''s said that Princess Le''an is clean and lofty, but she has such a good relationship with you that she always wants to give you something good. It''s really everyone''s fate. There''s no way to make it clear. " Leisurely sighed and said, "isn''t it? The princess is good at everything. Which one is not the best in character and appearance? But my fate is not good. I always meet some twists and turns


    Smelling speech, Shen Ze looked up strangely and asked, "what''s the matter? What''s wrong with the princess? She always treats you well. Look, if we can help, you can help more. "


    Leisurely said Miss Feng''s business, then shook his head and said, "if it''s something else, it''s our duty. It''s their household chores, and it''s not easy for outsiders to interfere. Now it''s just that I''m going to comfort more. "


    After listening to leisurely''s words, Shen Ze said, "things may not be as serious as you think. I don''t think Rong Wang has any feelings for the princess. It''s said that the concubines in the palace are just furnishings. The princesses have been married for many years. Now the palace doesn''t even have a decent concubine. If it wasn''t for the purpose, I''m afraid the position of the imperial concubine in the palace would have been full. "


    Shen Ze''s words seemed to be reasonable. He waved his hand leisurely and said, "well, it''s no use guessing here. I''ll see the princess tomorrow." Then he rubbed his forehead and said, "I don''t know if it''s because of the cold wind blowing on the mountain today. I always feel that naoren hurts when I come back."


    Seeing that she was very sad, Shen Ze quickly moved to leisurely side, took her in his arms, stretched out his hands to gently press her up. While pressing, he said, "although it''s much warmer in Huizi, it''s still cool on the mountain. The next time you go, you''ll have to wear a curtain cap. "


    His hand is just right. After pressing it for a while, he feels more comfortable. Today, after a long day outside, she was really tired. Once she relaxed, she felt sleepy. Seeing that her sleepy eyes couldn''t open, Shen Ze took her to bed and helped her get rid of her coat. After washing, she went to bed and went to sleep with her arms around her.


    The next day happened to be the great court meeting. Before dawn, Shen Ze left, and leisurely heard the news and woke up. I had a sweet sleep last night. Although I woke up early this morning, I didn''t feel sleepy at all. I just felt refreshed.


    After washing, leisurely is having breakfast. Liu Ye came in with a beautiful flowerpot, put the flowerpot in front of leisurely and said excitedly, "grandma, look, this is my own cutting camellia. I didn''t expect it to blossom. There are still several flower buds


    Leisurely along her hand to see the past, see this Camellia are no more than a foot high, there are two half open bud, there are also a few tiny bud, flower color is orthodox big red. She couldn''t help praising, "they all say that the red flowers are vulgar. I look at the green leaves lining the red flowers, which are very bright.". It''s true that I''ve been around for so many years. It''s easy for you to have a disciple! "


    After looking at it for a while, leisurely thought that Fang Xinsu loved Camellia best. Although it was not her favorite white, it was fresh and smart. So he asked, "how many pots have you put in this flower?"


    The willow leaf returns a way "inserted always have four or five pots, but all is this kind of red."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s going to be red. Go and carefully select the two pots with the best appearance and bring them to the princess later." Liu Ye heard that leisurely wanted to give her flowers as gifts, which made her happy even more than giving her a month''s reward. She was too busy to pick flowers later.

 Chapter 319

    Leisurely with two pots of delicate camellia to rongwangfu, when she arrived, Fang Xinsu was painting in her study. The next people knew that they were friendly and brought her here. Seeing Fang Xinsu''s leisure in painting, leisurely felt relieved and thought that things should not be so bad.


    Fang Xinsu heard the footsteps, looked up and said with a smile, "here you are! It''s just a little thing, but these girls all feel terrible one by one. They even run to you and talk about it. It''s time to fight. " When she said this, it happened that Qi Yun took tea and went to the door.


    Leisurely just saw the embarrassed appearance of Qiyun, can''t help but smile and say, "OK, you can''t hear the show in your words when others? Clearly is dislike, in the heart also does not know how happy? Not everyone can train a capable and intimate servant girl. " Then he waved to Qiyun, "come on in, don''t pestle at the door." Smell speech, Qi cloud this just took tray to walk in.


    She put the tray on the table with a smile, and then pointed to the tea in the tray and said, "this pot is Wuyi Narcissus, which my wife likes to drink. A dim sum woman from Huaiyang has just arrived in the house. This is the five spice cake and snowflake crisp that she made today. Can you taste it for me?"


    Fang Xinsu just finished his last stroke. When he heard this, he put down his pen and turned his head to leisurely and said, "listen, I don''t know whose servant girl this is. She is so considerate to you. See you come, busy on tea on good snacks. I''ve been in this room for a long time, but no one has paid any attention to me. It''s sad to think about it. "


    After listening to this, Qiyun fell down, but mianyue on one side was always straightforward, and then she said with her mouth bulging, "it''s unreasonable for Niang Niang to say that. After breakfast this morning, Niang Niang said that she wanted to draw a picture in this room quietly, and she didn''t let us disturb her. Just now, the little maids just said a few words outside the yard, and the empress thought they were noisy, so we were far away. It''s really unreasonable that this meeting will come to dislike us again. "


    Voice just fell, by Qi cloud pulled sleeve "OK, how to talk with the master?"


    Fang Xinsu said with leisurely smile, "you see, these girls are more and more courageous. This time they are not looking for me."


    Leisurely took a sip from the teacup, Fang leisurely replied, "it''s not because you''re unreasonable? I think these little maids are more and more organized. They should be rewarded. Just the day before yesterday, someone else sent me a box of lapis lazuli trinkets. You can share them with yourself and keep them for fun. " As soon as her words were finished, naturally, some of the servant girls would take things out and divide them. Of course, several big servant girls would not fall behind.


    At this time, Fang Xinsu found that there was a bamboo basket on the tea table with two pots of delicate camellia. At the moment, he praised, "the flowers are in full bloom. I haven''t seen such bright red flowers for a long time. I didn''t remember you raised red camellia before. Is this your new one


    Leisurely smile shakes his head, "this is really not I raise, is LiuYe that wench raise."


    Smell speech, square Xin Su lightly a sigh "you can raise a flower to just, now even the servant girl also adjusts to teach of so capable." While talking, he personally helped leisurely add some tea. Leisurely light smile way "I really didn''t how to teach her, but is the usual time to wait on flowers and plants, she went to school at the side of some just.". She is also predestined with flowers and plants. Among all the people around me, she is the only one who can raise several pots of good flowers and plants by herself. In other words, don''t you have a very good gardener in your family? I see that the flowers and plants in this house are more energetic than before. "


    Fang Xinsu replied, "the gardener is still a success. Some of his craftsmanship is true. It''s just that he''s a layman. It''s not as convenient as a maid. It''s a pity that you have already said that willow leaves are to be employed externally, otherwise I will have her around to serve. "


    Leisurely white her eyes, "she is an old man who has been with her since the end of her life. I always want to find a good home for her, otherwise I can''t bear it in my heart."


    Fang Xinsu nodded, "I''m kidding you. I know what you said. Although the servant girls are slaves, they are all flesh and blood people. We can''t leave them nowhere to fight with. Even if my own servant girl is willing to go out, I will support it with both hands. No matter how hard it is to go out, you will be able to make your own decisions. Not ten times better than to be trapped in this house? " At this time, the servant girls have consciously retreated, leaving only two people in the room to say something personal. Leisurely, seeing that there was no one around, he said, "now there are no outsiders. I have to ask, what''s the matter with Miss Feng? Why do you suddenly shout to be a concubine for the king


    Smell the square heart element of speech to slightly lift up the corner of the mouth, light way "still can how?"? They have a big heart. On one hand, they are willing to be concubines. On the other hand, they secretly plan to replace me as concubine Feng in the palace. "


    Leisurely listen to not from frown way "this Miss Feng''s heart is also too big?"? Even if she is not remarried, she is only a common girl after all. I wonder where her confidence can take the place of you? "


    Fang Xinsu then said, "the Communist Party of China is just a shameful means! When the prince of Qingming went out of the city to greet the old prince, he happened to meet Miss Feng''s car and was stopped by a group of dandies. Our Lord has always been a man of pity. Seeing this, he went up to drink back those dandies. In this way, there is a good play in which the hero saves the beauty and the beauty is willing to agree with each other. "


    Things like this are generally like this. No matter what''s in it, things have happened in the end. Hearing this, leisurely still some puzzled "even so, she wants to be a demon, at this time should also lower some posture, how dare to say that she wants to replace you?"


    Fang Xinsu said in a deep voice, "this Miss Feng has such a big heart that she will not tell her mind clearly. It''s just that she was overheard when she and Princess Feng discussed secretly, and then it came to me again. " In the past, she always felt that the people left by the Empress Dowager were useless, and she didn''t want to fight against the palace. Now I feel that thanks to these people, otherwise I would have fallen into the pit dug by others.


    Leisurely did not ask Fang Xinsu how to know such secret information, but said in a soft voice, "first, I''ll try to find a way to get into the house by the way that the LORD saved her. She is such an identity that you naturally disdain to embarrass her. I heard that she was quite famous when she was in the boudoir. I think I can still talk with you on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If she is patient and often flatters and flatters you, you will lose your guard against her after a long time. It will be much easier for her to do something about it then. "


    Listen to her words, Fang Xinsu is not from of a Leng "do you also have a hand in the palace?"

 Chapter 320

    With these words, Fang Xinsu realized that he had made a slip of the tongue. But leisurely is a pair of did not hear the appearance, said with a smile, "just my random guess." It''s not for nothing to read so many novels in previous lives. What kind of women don''t have them? In other words, leisurely suddenly felt that compared with Miss Feng, she didn''t look like a traveller at all. She had no ambition! The princess of Zhou still had some thoughts,


    Fang Xinsu had just asked, but he thought that he was thinking too much about where the palace is. Not everyone can put people in it. After listening to leisurely''s words, she could not help sighing, "what you said is almost the same as what Miss Feng said in front of her. Isn''t this Miss Feng''s idea?"


    Leisurely, he said with a smile, "this man''s heart is higher than the sky! Even if things are as she expected, with the identity of her remarriage, why should she be a princess? With the emperor''s love for the sixth Prince now? "


    Fang Xinsu chuckled and said, "you really hit the nail on the head. These days, the emperor often takes the six princes and the seven princes with him, and the six princes are most valued by the emperor. Moreover, among the remaining princes, the sixth is the most powerful. Ding''an Bofu is also a century old family. The other princes, including his Royal Highness the king of Liang, are weak. What''s more, now Princess Feng is pregnant again! "


    This? It''s too mysterious, isn''t it? His majesty almost died last year? This meeting can also make the concubine pregnant. It seems that the emperor is really old and strong. It''s just that it''s not good news for them. So she pondered, "there have been no happy events in the palace for several years. I have never heard of such a big happy event."


    Fang Xinsu said, "it''s less than three months. Naturally, concubine Feng doesn''t dare to let outsiders know. The empress of the palace naturally disdains to do anything here, but she can''t help being envious of others. " Smell speech, leisurely not from frown said, "it seems that this is definitely an Bo Feng family plan is not small." Then he looked nervously at Fang Xinsu and said, "after three months, Feng Fei''s baby will be stable. Such a happy event will surely make the emperor very happy. At that time, if Feng Fei takes the opportunity to propose her cousin''s marriage, and their sisters lower their posture, how can the emperor not give her this face? "


    Leisurely doesn''t know Fang Xinsu''s life experience. At the moment, she is really worried about her. With the ingenuity of the two sisters, if Miss Feng is allowed to enter the house, there will be no peace in the future. " She was so worried that she frowned. Fang Xinsu didn''t expect that she didn''t care. She said softly, "don''t worry, this princess Feng won''t be able to dance for long. If she wants to play tricks against me, she''ll have to ask for trouble. "


    Seeing her determined look, she carefree about what cards she should have in her hand. No matter how hard it is, there is still the queen in the palace. I think things are not so bad.


    Looking at her still thinking, Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "well, you''d better come here. Let''s not say these words. By the way, how is your house? When are you going to move? "


    Leisurely replied with a smile, "there were too many things in the first half of the year, and then there was Guoxiao. We are preparing to move again after the Mid Autumn Festival, at the end of August and the beginning of September. By the way, speaking of this, I''ll have the courage to say that at that time, I''ll have to ask for your two ink treasures. I''ll decorate the house and make it easy to use. "


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "it''s easy to say. Now I have only this idea for recreation. I can draw as many as you want. I''ll draw more pictures of what you want. You can just choose what you like. I''ll send someone to mount it in advance and hang it when you move. "


    Speaking, leisurely has stood up and walked to Fang Xinsu''s desk. On the table is a picture of parrot playing plum blossom, which she just drew. Parrot''s painting is vivid, while plum blossom is pure and beautiful. The two complement each other very vividly. Leisurely at the moment, he said with a smile, "it''s just the one next to me. If you look at it and help me draw one, it''s very good and vivid. Just now I just talked, but I didn''t pay attention to it. This meeting found that your painting skill is really fast. No wonder now there are many people who want you to comment on it! "


    Thinking of the young ladies who were worried about their own affairs, Fang Xinsu said slowly, "those are just for the sake of fame. I don''t care about them because they are too crafty. But I see that sister Xi still has some aura here, and your niece taoliang. Although she is young, she has some talent. If you are willing to work hard here, you will earn some points in the future. But if she is really famous in the future, I don''t know whether she is good or bad. " Taoliang is only five or six years old. She has her own ideas. Leisurely and coldly looking at the future, I''m afraid that even Yulian can''t be her master, but it''s just that she always looks forward to her good when she grows up. Now, after hearing Fang Xinsu''s words, she can''t help saying, "this child is still young. I can''t see his heart for a while. Let''s have a look in two years. If she''s really good-natured, I''ll have to ask you to give her more advice. "


    Fang Xinsu gave her a look. "Do you need to talk about this? As long as she is good-natured, I am willing to teach her even if she is a little less gifted. But I look at this child, although sometimes stronger, but there is spectrum in my heart. When it''s time to be soft, I will be soft too. Unlike ordinary children, they don''t care if they lose their temper. What a ghost spirit! What''s more, she is so filial to her mother that she can''t be wrong in the future. "


    Leisurely teased her and said, "it''s not so much. How can we protect it? She is not old enough to learn painting now. After two years, your apprentice is indispensable. By the way, the painting just now is really good. I''ll just take it away. "


    Fang Xinsu said, "this painting is not good. I was distracted when you came in just now. The plum blossom painting is a bit messy. You should like this picture and I''ll draw a better one for you some other day." Leisurely know her temper, his dissatisfied with the plan is determined not to give away, so also had to give up.


    At noon, Fang Xinsu prepared a good table to entertain leisurely. After lunch, leisurely saw that Fang Xinsu was a little sleepy. Knowing that she always had the habit of taking a nap, she said, "I got a piece of dolomite with natural landscape patterns from someone else a few days ago, and found someone to embed it into a screen. I said I would send it today. I''m anxious to go and have a look, so I won''t stay any longer. "

 Chapter 321

    When she said that, Fang Xinsu didn''t stay empty. She got up and took her to the door. When she wanted to continue to send her, she was stopped by leisurely. "OK, I''m not an outsider. Why be so polite? The sun outside this meeting is getting bigger. Don''t come out soon. Be careful to turn your face red. " Smell speech, Fang Xinsu really didn''t go any further, just said with a smile, "then you slow down on the road, find time to come again."


    When he came out of Prince Rong''s house, he went to the new house leisurely. When he asked, he found out that the ordered screen had not been delivered. A steward replied, "I don''t know what''s the matter with this mounting shop. It was supposed to be delivered before noon, but I haven''t heard from you. No, Mr. Jiang went to see it after a little lunch. I don''t know what went wrong. I''ve been there for half an hour, and I haven''t come back yet. "


    I guess I''m in trouble. It''s just a stone. Leisurely, I don''t take it too seriously. I said to the steward, "it should be nothing serious. I''ll stop by and have a look when I leave later." After that, he looked around the house and thought there was nothing wrong with it, so he took the servant girl and went away.


    After getting on the carriage, leisurely jealous coachman said, "turn on the road and go to Sanhe Zhai in Zhuque street."


    Zhuque street is very close to Youran''s new house. After a cup of tea, the carriage stops in front of Sanhe Zhai. Leisurely lift the car curtain and have a look at sanhezhai''s door. It''s really a famous mounting shop in the capital. The decoration outside is elegant and elegant. It seems that the owner of this shop should have a style. Seeing that there were not a few guests coming and going in the shop, leisurely he told mother Yang, "go in and have a look, and see if brother Jiang is in there?"


    Yang''s mother agreed to go, and soon came out with a cold face, and said angrily, "this shop is unreasonable. Seeing that our dolomite is rare, we have to pay for it. Jiang Er Ye has been arguing with the shopkeeper for a long time, but he has hidden the goods in his house and won''t even look at them. "


    Is this going to be a moth? He pondered for a while and said, "go and shout out the second master Jiang first. I''ll ask him myself." Yang''s mother hurriedly turned back and soon brought Shen Jiang out.


    Although Shen Jiang has made a lot of progress in the past two years, he is still young and can''t compete with these old shopkeepers. Even if the quarrel turned red, it didn''t take advantage. When I came out, I saw some shame in leisurely. With a red face, I went to the carriage and bowed back to say, "I''m incompetent. I can''t get my sister-in-law''s stone screen back. I''m really ashamed."


    Seeing that he was in a state of panic, he comforted leisurely and said, "it''s OK. It''s just a stone. If it''s gone, it''s not necessary to find a replacement. I didn''t expect that at the foot of heaven, there would be people who would cheat customers like this. However, the bitter water in our family can''t be swallowed without any reason. Do they know it''s ours? "


    Shen Jiang replied, "I know. When I saw that they were playing rogue, I reported the name of the elder brother. Who would have thought that they didn''t care so much? One of them seemed to be in charge of the affairs and said that it would be better if they were loyal to the Shen family. The commander of the imperial army is no more than a third class official, and his family is not concerned. In a word, it''s very rude to listen to the tone. "


    It seems that the other side is not small with such a rude attitude! Thinking of this, leisurely he asked, "have you ever inquired about the owner of this shop?"


    Shen Jiang nodded and said, "I''ve already asked. This shop is the property of Miss Feng of ding''anbo. It''s said that Miss Feng is widowed, so the first affairs of the shop are arranged by Feng Enying, the Third Master of the second room of the Feng family. This third master is the uncle of the sixth Prince and the younger brother of empress Feng in the palace. "


    After listening to this, leisurely thought in his heart, I''m afraid it''s aimed at himself. After all, the news is a little better. Everyone knows that she and Fang Xinsu have always been good friends. Waiting for idlers is aimed at this point will not easily and her evil. It''s just a piece of marble. Although it''s scarce, there are always several similar ones in the capital. But now the Feng family wants to disgust her. After all, it''s hard for her to bite each other for such a stone. It''s nothing more than getting some money to compensate for the trouble. If she cares more, she will look like a small family. If you think about it, since the Feng family has such a mind, it can not only lose her face, but also demonstrate to Fang Xinsu and Shen Tian. It''s really a good plan! However, if the Feng family really treats her as a soft persimmon, it''s the wrong person!


    Shen Jiang said, see leisurely silent for a long time, just about to speak, listen to leisurely deep voice asked "are you sure our house that piece of marble is still inside?"


    Shen Jiang nodded and said, "it''s still there. I saw it with my own eyes just now. It''s already mounted." Leisurely nods, in the heart does not stop pondering this matter how to deal with. She took a look at her own hands. Most of them were maids. There were only two grooms and a few little boys. They were not rivals when they were fighting.


    She was thinking hard here when she heard the sound of a ring of admiration coming from behind. She knew it was your daughter''s car. Leisurely look back, involuntarily smile, not to others, it is fangxinsu.


    After a while, Fang Xinsu''s carriage arrived. She recognized leisurely''s carriage early in the morning, so she made the driver stop. Lift the car curtain and ask leisurely, "what are you doing here? I''ve been watching your carriage here for a long time."


    Leisurely back to the way, "there''s something wrong, but how do you come out of this meeting, did not take a nap?" Fang Xinsu replied, "after squinting for a while, I heard that my aunt and grandmother had just given birth to a baby. I was just going to celebrate. What''s the matter with you? It doesn''t look like a good thing to me


    This is to let her know sooner or later, so leisurely said the matter from beginning to end. After listening to her words, Fang Xinsu said with a sneer, "this family is really interesting. I haven''t made trouble for them yet, but they brought it to me by themselves. In this case, I have to play with them. Don''t worry about it. I''d like to see what dirty means there are in their family? " Having said that, the people in the end are not worthy of her to fight in person.


    Turn to the side of the most eloquent maid picturesque and mianyue called to the side ordered a few words. Leisurely had already sat in Fang Xinsu''s carriage and asked with some worry, "I thought that even if I smashed the stone screen, I couldn''t let them disgust me like this. But you stepped in so rashly. I''m afraid it''s not easy for the palace to explain? I''ll take care of it myself. "


    Fang Xinsu shook his head and said, "it''s OK. Your identity is still a little bad for Shangbo mansion. What''s more, it seems to be aimed at you, but actually it''s not aimed at me? I don''t care who cares? Besides, who said it had nothing to do with me. Isn''t this marble screen ready for me after you''ve mounted it? "

 Chapter 322

    On hearing this, leisurely will know the meaning of her words. In the end, my heart was still a little empty, and I said with a bitter smile, "I wanted to take care of things before I told you, but I didn''t expect to trouble you in the end." Fang Xinsu sneered, "what''s the point? Anyway, these days are boring. I''m worried that I don''t have much fun! Don''t worry. I have a double seal on me. It''s not so easy for them to take advantage of me. "


    While they were talking, Huaping had already talked with Shen Jiang for a few words. Shen Jiang was a smart man. After listening to Huaping''s suggestions, he knew the countermeasures. Then Shen Jiang led the way and led the people to the shop.


    In the inner room of sanhezhai, the shopkeeper and several managers are flattering Feng en, the Third Master of the Feng family. A sharp faced steward said with a smile, "the third master is really eloquent. Look at the man who ran the boy named Shen just now? The red face is like a monkey''s ass! " Then the whole room began to laugh.


    After laughing, Feng en took a sip of tea from the purple clay pot on the table and said with a sneer, "if Shen Ze comes here in person, I have to give him some face. He''s just a member of the Shen family. He wants me to give him face, but he doesn''t want to see if he deserves it."


    The shopkeeper immediately echoed, "that''s right. Our third master is a serious uncle. It''s their good fortune to take a fancy to their family''s things, so they should be obedient." Feng en waved his hand and said, "well, I can''t say that. Our wives are always virtuous and virtuous. How can I want people and things for nothing? Isn''t this a disgrace to the empress and his Highness the sixth prince? How much silver is this marble worth in the market? We have to give it to others according to the price. We can only give more than less. At that time, we can''t let the outside say that we rob people and things. "


    Several people are a horse shot up, "or the third master thought far-reaching", "the third master good plan", after a long time, the sound of compliment died down. Then Feng en asked, "eh, didn''t you just say that Shen Ze''s wife has been outside? Why haven''t you come in yet? Are you afraid? "


    Just now, the sharp faced steward immediately replied with a smile, "I guess I''m afraid when I hear the reputation of my uncle? It''s said that Shen Tongling''s wife is just a servant girl. I don''t know what means she married Shen Tongling. I''m afraid I can only cry when something happens? Ah? Ha ha ha... "


    In the middle of the conversation, a man in the shop came in flurried and said, "no, Third Master, shopkeeper. Just now the young master of the Shen family broke in with a group of people and was checking every room."


    Without taking him to talk, the shopkeeper first said, "useless things, how many people can he bring? Don''t you know what to stop? " The man cried and said, "there are thirty or forty people here. They are all guards with swords. We can''t stop them!"


    Hearing this, Feng San suddenly stood up from his chair and asked, "bodyguard? What kind of bodyguard is it? " The man replied, "I don''t know the little ones. I only look at one of them who is fierce and evil. They are all armed."


    Feng San thought that leisurely went to find Shen Ze to transfer out the sergeant of the imperial army. He was very happy. He sneered, "hum, I''m afraid that their family will make peace. The more I come, the better. I''m afraid that Shen Tong''s position will succeed." With that, he walked out with great strides, and several servants looked at each other and quickly followed.


    When Feng San came to the lobby of the shop, he saw that there was a lot of silence in the busy lobby. Most of the guests had already left when they saw that the situation was not good. There are only a few spectators left. You don''t have to guess that they have a deep background. Feng Sanyuan''s smiling face darkened when he saw the costumes of the visitors. Naturally, his eyes were not comparable to those of a small group. At a glance, it is obvious that these men and horses are not the royal guards. They look like the personal guards of which family.


    At the same time, on the tea table on one side of the lobby, there was a young woman dressed up quite well. The Shen family was standing beside her just now. Looking at the dress, it doesn''t look like a married woman, but miss you didn''t show up like that!


    When Feng San was puzzled, Shen Jiang spoke first. He pointed to Feng San and said, "aunt Huaping, this is the Third Master of the Feng family in Ding''an Bo. Just now, he had to take down the stone screen." With a sneer, the screen stood up and looked at Feng San. "It turns out that you are Feng San Ye of Ding''an uncle''s house, the younger brother of Feng Fei''s mother. I heard that you are respected as the country''s uncle outside. It''s no wonder that even our lady''s things dare to be buckled, but now you are not the duke or marquis of Chengen, so you dare to buckle the things of the first grade Princess Zhengfei. It''s a lot of courage! "


    Princess Zhengfei, Feng San''s mind quickly turned for a while, and immediately guessed that the other party should be the maid in charge of Princess Rong''s side. Although he didn''t pay attention to a maid in waiting, it was not good for him to be too rampant in full view of the public. Now he coughed softly and said, "I don''t know which family my aunt belongs to? Are you mistaken? I don''t remember the job of taking in the palace in this shop! "


    The screen sneered, "who else can you put in your eyes besides the sixth prince? I''m just a little six grade female official beside the princess of Rongjun. I dare not accept your honorific title. Mrs. Shen, the leader of the Imperial Army, sent a marble screen to your house for mounting. As a result, you took it down, didn''t you? "


    Feng San laughs. "I didn''t expect that a little thing would labor the princess. How dare we take Mrs. Shen''s things? But the lady of the family is looking for a good screen to decorate the house recently. I saw that Mrs. Shen''s piece was very suitable, so I thought of buying it at a high price. There is absolutely no meaning of occupying other people''s things in vain. Mrs. Shen really is, don''t want to sell just, didn''t expect this idea small matter, Mrs. Shen is also worth mentioning with the princess


    Smell speech picture screen sneer way "hum, even Niang Niang all carried out, still say oneself is not forcibly occupy?"? It turns out that the lady in the palace can ask for people and things at will. Today, I''ve really opened my eyes. Third master Feng is the sixth Prince''s uncle. Why did he pay attention to Mrs. Shen''s life? Otherwise, he would not have made such a rude request. They sent things for mounting, but they didn''t owe you any mounting money. Why do you say that if you like it, you have to sell it to you? Is Mrs. Shen short of your thousands of taels of silver? Since it was not forcibly occupied, why did it say that the goods would be delivered today, and we haven''t seen anything yet? "


    Seeing that everyone in the room looked at him, Feng San couldn''t help but feel embarrassed. He forced a smile and said, "it''s probably because my subordinates have made a mistake. How can we do such a slap in the face when we open our door to do business? What''s more, it''s the relationship between our shop and the Shen family after all. If there''s any misunderstanding, I should clarify it with Mrs. Shen. How can the aunt of the labor palace take charge of this business in person? You''ve got so many royal guards in at once. How can I do business here? "

 Chapter 323

    He looked at the screen white and said in a cold voice, "if it''s something else, this screen is for our lady. It was agreed that it would be delivered to the Palace this morning, but after lunch, I didn''t see anything. Later I found out that you had taken things down here. Our lady always loved these things. How can we sit down after hearing this? I have to come and see for myself. I''m waiting outside now. "


    Seeing that the other party was not good at it, Feng San thought that he would try to solve the problem again. At the moment, he said with a strong smile, "I think it''s just a misunderstanding. Why should I make such a stir, so that I''ll go to make amends to the empress myself?"


    At this time, the royal guards had found Shiping and carried things out. Huaping looked at the stone screen and said, "is this the stone screen that Mrs. Shen sent?" Feng San nodded, "yes, it''s this one. I didn''t know it was the love of the princess, but now I know it, I dare not force it. So, please take the things back. This mounting silver is free, and it can be regarded as our family''s compensation for the princess, isn''t it? "


    The screen revolved around the stone screen and said, "how can that be done? The stone screen is inlaid with excellent red sandalwood, and there are many jade inlays on it. It''s worth a lot of money without any other craftsmanship. Our Lady dare not take advantage of your uncle. Tell me, how much is it? "


    Seeing that the other party refused to give him a good face, Feng en was a little uneasy. He was surrounded by compliments everywhere he went these days. How ever had he suffered such a cold face? The other side is just a maid in waiting! Thinking of this, Feng San winked at the shopkeeper.


    The shopkeeper''s understanding, smile a way "Chenghui 800 Liang silver." It''s a black price. It''s more than twice as much. Feng San thought that the other party would be annoyed. After all, he had quoted a price at the beginning and said that the cost would not exceed 400 Liang. I didn''t think that the screen was just a smile. Even Shen Jiang was calm.


    The screen waved, and Qi Yun hurriedly pointed out an 800 Liang bill from a stack of bank notes he was carrying. The screen took the silver ticket and handed it to Feng San. "Third Master, do you understand? Is there no problem with the bank note? "


    Feng San took a look and said, "no problem. In this way, we''ll get rid of both money and goods. Aunt, please take your things away Although it was only a small profit, but at least also should be the other side. Feng San thought that he was quite modest and wanted to stop when he was good.


    But if he wants to make peace, it depends on whether Fang Xin is willing or not. Seeing that Feng San had received the silver note, the screen sneered, "our lady said that she didn''t know Sanhe Zhai was the property of Ding''an Bofu. Otherwise, you can''t let Mrs. Shen send things here for mounting because of the shameless and shameless work done by your eldest lady. Who knows if there will be something unclean? Our empress always loves Jie. It''s not clean after you''ve put it here for so long. The master of our family would never want any more, but our fake mother said that she would not want some things, but it would not be cheap for outsiders. Come on, smash this stone screen for me. " As soon as her voice fell, four or five bodyguards came in from the outside with iron bars in their hands. Without saying a word, they swung the iron bars in their hands and threw them at the stone screen.


    Although the marble is hard, it is only two fingers thick and a little thinner after being polished into a screen. If you want to break it, it''s very easy. The visitors were all practitioners, and they smashed the stone screen together with the mounted frame in a few seconds.


    Seeing this, the screen sneered and said, "our lady said, don''t think that your idea is dirty and nobody knows. If you want to count others, you have to weigh your own weight first. " Then he turned around and left with his men Hula.


    A maid in waiting didn''t have the courage to act on the Lord''s orders. Feng San didn''t expect that Fang Xinsu''s method was so tough that it was too late to stop him. Seeing that the other party has made his own shop like this, how can he raise his head in the capital?


    Thinking of this, Feng San rushed out immediately. As soon as Fang Xinsu was ready to leave, he heard a loud noise outside. After a while, a servant girl said, "tell the princess that the Third Master of the Feng family has stopped the car outside. She has to give an explanation." Fang Xinsu said in a cold voice, "what I smashed was my own things, but I didn''t smash his shop. What should I give you? Tell him to get out of the way


    Qi Yun learned this words to Feng San. At this time, the people nearby had already gathered around and were waiting to watch. In full view of the public, Feng San felt that he had been skinned. He was so angry that he threw out a pair of white marble balls he used to play with. He also scolded, "you bitch, are you so arrogant


    One of the two stone balls was caught by the guards, and the other flew out close to the frame of the fangxinsu carriage, just hitting a spectator. Fang Xinsu asked the servant to take care of it, and said in a high voice, "Lady Feng, I can''t forgive you. I said it twice, but today I can''t forgive you. Who give you the courage, a white body, also dare to crash a princess car. Come on, take the man who is going to assassinate the princess for me. First hit the 20 boards, and then give it to the zongrenfu for disposal. "


    The bodyguards who followed were all Fang Xinsu''s own soldiers. Naturally, they had only life for her. After listening to the orders, he didn''t care whose brother and uncle he was, so he pulled the man aside and beat the 20 boards without mercy. Feng''s subordinates didn''t expect that things would evolve to such a state. They wanted to go forward to save people, but where were the opponents of the well-trained bodyguards? It was just a beating for nothing. Had to, busily let people go to ding''anbo house to deliver the letter.


    In the house of internal affairs, Liang Wang, the principal, is discussing with several subordinates about the annual sacrifice of his Highness the prince. In recent days, though, his majesty has been quite fond of a few young princes. However, after many years in the house of internal affairs, the king of Liang still has a strong voice here, because his subordinates don''t dare to find fault with him. The king of Liang is about to show his sincere heart to his brothers and brothers by means of the prince''s annual sacrifice, so he doesn''t care about the money, but only makes the prince''s annual sacrifice ceremoniously and decently. It''s not difficult. Moreover, the more prosperous the scene is, the more money they spend, and the more things they can get from it. Naturally, everyone is not unhappy.


    Several people were discussing. Suddenly, a little eunuch came in trembling and said, "tell the prince, the bodyguard of Princess Rong sent a man who said that he had collided with her car and wanted to assassinate her with a concealed weapon. The empress has already ordered someone to beat him 20 times, and now she will hand him over to the house of internal affairs to ask the Lord to look and deal with him. "


    After listening to the eunuch''s words, the king of Liang frowned and asked, "who is so bold as to rush into the princess of Assassin county? I just don''t want to live! It''s just that such a gangster is beating himself to death. Is there any nonsense? "

 Chapter 324

    The little eunuch shivered and said, "but this man is the uncle of his Highness the sixth prince, and the Third Master of the Yongan mansion." As soon as I heard this, all the officials in the house could not sit still. All of them turned their attention to the king of Liang. The king of Liang coughed softly and said, "first call the bodyguard of Prince Rong''s house, and then make plans after the king asks why."


    Since Fang Xinsu dared to beat Feng San, he didn''t want to expose it lightly. Since he wanted to make trouble, he wanted to make it bigger. So she let the servant go to her sister-in-law''s house to let her know. Then she changed the car and went to the palace. She was so frightened that even the carriage was smashed. How could she not go into the palace and cry?


    Leisurely not at ease, she went to the palace alone, so she accompanied her to the palace. At the sight of empress Meng, Fang Xinsu''s tears came down naturally. Today''s event was not a big deal, but she thought of her life experience. Although she didn''t know who her biological mother was, and why lundeti sent her to the Fang family to grow up, she knew that there were some secrets that could not be explained.


    What if the man gave her the status of a princess? What if the queen recognizes her as her adoptive mother? In the eyes of some people, she is still a character who can wantonly suppress. Otherwise, a female official who goes out of the palace will dare to make her strong! How can a common girl who is away from her dare to replace her! A princess''s younger brother dares to throw a stone ball at her! If she was a princess growing up in the palace, who would dare to bully her so blatantly? Think of Fang''s younger brother, even if she is only a daughter of Fang''s family, if her parents are still there, outsiders will not dare to bully them like this. Thinking of her adoptive parents who died early, Fang Xinsu couldn''t help crying more.


    It was the first time that empress Meng saw her such a gaffe. She quickly took the handkerchief in her hand and wiped it for her, but her tears were so fierce that the handkerchief was soon wet. Empress Meng was also worried when she saw that she could not even speak. Seeing leisurely standing aside, he asked, "what''s the matter?"


    Leisurely leaned back, said the matter roughly, and then said, "it''s also strange that the minister''s wife is useless. She didn''t put it properly, so that the princess was humiliated and frightened. The lady didn''t know that one of the stone balls thrown by the Third Master of the Feng family was caught by the bodyguard. The other one wiped the frame of the princess''s carriage and fell on the onlookers, breaking the left arm of the people. I can''t imagine what would happen if the stone ball hit the princess. No matter who is right or wrong, the Third Master of the Feng family is really lawless. "


    Empress Meng snorted coldly, "it''s the Feng family again. My palace thinks that only concubine Feng is domineering in the palace. I didn''t expect that even her mother''s family is so arrogant." Then he took Fang Xinsu''s arm and said, "good boy, don''t cry any more. I''ll see that my eyes are swollen."


    Fang Xinsu wiped his tears and choked, "I''ve never seen such a rogue before. At that time, I only felt angry. Later, I saw the common people who had broken their arms and the bodyguard who had received the stone ball. The bodyguard is one of the best in Kung Fu around me. Rao Shi''s right hand is swollen like steamed bread, and I don''t know if it will leave the root of the disease. If it wasn''t for my bigger life, I''m afraid I would not be able to see my mother. " Then he choked again.


    Seeing this, empress Meng knew that she was really frightened. She was too busy to let people go to the Tai hospital to get the pills. Side soft voice comforts a way "good child, this palace knows you have been wronged, rest assured, this matter this palace certainly can help you to get back a justice." The little eunuch soon went to get the pill. Empress Meng watched Fang Xinsu eat the pill and watched her calm down. Then she was relieved.


    After such a toss, looking out, it''s getting late. Empress Meng patted her hand. "It''s getting late. You go back first, and the Palace door will be locked soon. I''m going to tell the emperor about it. You can rest assured that you will not be shocked in vain. " With that, empress Meng looked at Fang Xinsu and said, "please send Le''an Haosheng back."


    Leisurely and hastily, she gathered her body and saluted, saying, "it''s my duty to be a courtier. Don''t worry, madam. I''ll send the princess back to the palace. "


    After going out of the palace and getting into the carriage, the Qi color on Fang Xinsu''s face gradually faded away and changed into the usual quiet. She quietly vomited a sentence, "what do you think the emperor will do with it?" Leisurely thought that she was worried about her attack on Feng San, and comforted her and said, "it''s just that the Feng family has done something wrong. Even if the emperor is biased towards the sixth Prince''s outsider, he has to worry about the world''s leisurely mouth. He won''t blame you."


    Fang Xinsu said, "I wish he blamed me very much." Leisurely see her look lonely, just think that it is because of the stimulation, did not go outside to think. I just blame myself in my heart for not being able to control the situation. What kind of marble screen did she make when she knew these disasters happened today?


    In the palace, empress Meng saw them off, got up and dressed, then took them to Qianyuan palace.


    Not long after Feng Sangang was sent to the house of internal affairs, Feng Fei already got the news. In her opinion, there''s nothing wrong with her younger brother. The bitch Le''an actually let people beat him 20 times and sent him to the patriarchal clan? What a deceiving thing!


    When empress Meng arrived at Qianyuan palace, Princess Feng had been here for a while. When she went in, Feng feizheng was full of grievances and cried to Longde emperor, "even if my brother said a few inappropriate words, it was just a joke. How could the princess of Rongjun be so cruel? My concubine heard that she let her subordinates beat her younger brother 20 times. I don''t know whether she was alive or dead in the house? Pity my little brother I, who has been well-dressed and well fed since he was a child. How did he ever suffer such humiliation? "


    After hearing this, empress Meng sneered, "empress Feng knows that she loves her younger brother, but our palace still loves her daughter!" Then he made a salute to the emperor. Seeing the queen, Feng Fei thought of her means and shivered. Longde Di is suffering from the pain of Feng Fei''s crying brain. Seeing that empress Meng is coming, he quickly asks her to forgive him and signals her to sit beside him.


    Empress Meng was not polite. She went to the other end of the Luohan couch and sat down. Then soft voice said to Longde emperor, "my concubine has just sent the child of Le''an home. This child is also my concubine''s growth. How could she have been so frightened since she was a child? Although Feng Fei said that Le''an was wrong, when Feng en smashed the stone ball into Le''an''s carriage, her men didn''t show any mercy. He also injured a onlooker by mistake, and heard that his arm was broken. The emperor thinks, if this stone ball hits Le''an, what will the consequences be? "


    Smell speech Feng imperial concubine to quickly cry a way "emperor, Minister concubine''s younger brother is certainly not intentional." Lundeti didn''t care to talk to her. He just frowned and asked, "how about Le''an? Is there any injury? "

 Chapter 325

    Empress Meng Wensheng replied, "fortunately, she is very lucky. One of the two stone balls was caught by the bodyguard, and the other one was hit by the carriage body. She was just a little bit frightened herself. It''s also a pity for the child. After he left the gate of death, he was frightened. I feel chilly just listening to it, not to mention that she is on the scene? Just now, I''ve asked someone to take a reassuring pill for her to eat, and then I went to her family with the doctor to give her a diagnosis and treatment. The child has always had the courage to be careful and careful. I just hope it doesn''t leave her any shadow. "


    Long de Di sighed and said, "my mother always loved her when she was alive. Fortunately, she was OK. Otherwise, I would not be able to explain to her mother''s spirit in heaven." Hearing the emperor''s tone, he didn''t blame Le''an at all. On the contrary, he felt pity for her. Concubine Feng can''t help but be anxious. If the emperor is partial to Le''an, then my younger brother won''t be beaten for nothing. Maybe he will suffer any more.


    I can''t. I have to take my brother out anyway. Feng Fei quickly made a decision in a moment, ready to find another ghost for death, so the most weightless leisurely here was affected again. Feng Fei cried again, "emperor Mingjian, my younger brother is also framed. The stone screen was originally sent for mounting by Shen Ze''s wife, the commander of the imperial guards. Just a few days ago, my concubine muttered that she wanted a good marble screen. After listening to this, my younger brother kept it in mind. When he saw the stone screen of the Shen family, he felt very fond of it and came up with a plan to buy it from Mrs. Shen at a high price. It''s just that Mrs. Shen refused to give up her love. She even encouraged the princess of Rongjun to come out for her. My younger brother did some stupid things in a moment of anger. This Shen Lin''s certainly not little in front of Rong County Princess instigate right and wrong, if not for her, how can there be today''s disaster? She''s the one who started it. "


    Longde Di frowned and said, "this is serious!" "Concubine Feng hurriedly replied," I dare not lie


    Voice just fell, only listen to "Dong", but empress Meng put the cup in her hand heavily on the Kang Table. The empress Meng sneered, "empress Feng is so eloquent that she can confuse black and white! They sent a piece of marble to your mother''s shop for mounting. Who could have thought that it would be forced to stay by your brother? If your mother''s family is willing to send someone to his home to make peace, will Mrs. Shen not give you the honor of the wife and the sixth prince? It''s your brother who wants to bully others, not only doesn''t want to give things, but also speaks well. When it comes to your mouth, it becomes Mrs. Shen''s fault! Shen Tongling''s wife is really unlucky. She went to your shop and wasted money. She even got into trouble. It''s also true that although he is a third grade Gao Ming, he is not worth mentioning in your uncle Feng''s eyes, even less in your mother''s eyes. Otherwise, you won''t throw dirty water on people like this. "


    Then, Queen Meng said to lundeti, "I''ve asked Le''an about it carefully. This stone screen was originally bought by Mrs. Shen to be put in her house. Who would have thought that the child of Le''an met by chance and liked it very much. The Emperor didn''t know that Le''an and Mrs. Shen had always been good friends. Mrs. Shen gave the stone screen to Le''an when she saw that she liked it. It''s agreed that after the mounting, people will send it to the palace. It was originally scheduled to be sent this morning. Mrs. Shen went to the palace early in the morning to wait. No one thought about it and didn''t see anything at noon. Mrs. Shen wanted to go to the shop to have a look. It happened that Le''an''s sister-in-law had just had a baby today. She was going to have a look at her sister-in-law. She just walked in front of the shop and stopped by to have a look. The result is to see the Feng family bullying Mrs. Shen, the son of Le''an, the emperor knows, and there is no room for sand in his eyes. Even if it''s not her, she won''t let outsiders bully her best friend. That''s what''s going on


    At this time, a eunuch came in. After saluting, he went to the emperor and whispered a few words. As soon as Meng saw the man''s dress, he knew that emperor Longde must have sent someone to investigate the matter secretly. It seems that he still believed in his secret guard. Thinking of this, Meng hung his head and said nothing.


    The eunuch whispered with lundeti for a long time before retreating. Seeing that emperor Longde''s face was not happy, concubine Feng could not help sobbing in a low voice: "emperor, no matter whether my younger brother is right or wrong, I beg the emperor to let the imperial doctor treat him first. But I have only one brother. If something happens to him, I have no face for my parents. "


    Although Feng Fei is nearly 30 years old, she is still charming because of the good maintenance. Now such a cry, also be regarded as pear with tears, pathetic, if on weekdays, Longde Di might be persuaded by her. Today, however, Le''an, his beloved but unrecognizable daughter, is involved. If someone else dares to bully Le''an, lundeti will take his head. After listening to Feng''s cry, Emperor Longde said impatiently, "come on, I''ll see that it''s the most shameless thing for your parents to raise such an unworthy son as Feng en. If you''re just a concubine''s younger brother, you dare to call yourself "uncle of the state". Your Feng family is really good! Even the Queen''s family has never been so tyrannical. Ding''an Bofu is really good! Ah! You don''t have to quibble here. You dare to buckle everything in the family of senior members of grade three. What else do you dare not do in your mother''s family? I''m still too kind to look at Le''an. A dandy like your brother should be killed on the spot. You have the face to plead for him, but also let the doctor treat him! Which archway is he from? But how dare you work as a doctor? "


    At this time, two people came outside Qianyuan hall. One of them, a younger one, walked angrily in front of him, and the other, an older one, followed him, quietly comforting the man in front of him as he walked. He stretched out his hand to pull him. Unexpectedly, the younger one in front of him was ungrateful and threw the man''s hand away. Throwing his sleeve, he wanted to rush into the main hall. Finally, he was stopped by the eunuch at the door. "Your Highness, sixth prince, please stay. The emperor is talking to two empresses. Please let me inform you first."


    It turned out that this man was the sixth prince. When he heard that his uncle had been beaten, he was too young to be calm, so he ran to the house of internal affairs. Of course, the king of Liang refused to give the man to him easily. He only said that it would be a good decision to repay his father and the emperor. A few words would make him speechless. The sixth prince had no choice but to come to his father and make the decision. Just as the king of Liang also wanted to come to explore the attitude of emperor Longde, they came together.


    But the sixth prince was particularly dissatisfied with the fact that the king of Liang refused him. All the way, even though the king of Liang kept whispering to him, he didn''t have a good face. But I don''t know that in the eyes of some people, I blocked my way to promotion. Youth is still young after all, unconsciously fell into the set of others and do not know it!


    Leisurely didn''t know that she was almost cheated by Feng Fei. A disaster just passed her by. She took fangxinsu home and watched the doctor prescribe medicine for her after her pulse diagnosis. She watched fangxinsu drink the medicine before she left for home. When she got home, it was dark through.


    Shen Ze has been back for a long time. He is holding his little son and chatting with his eldest son. Seeing her coming back, the three of them all showed a smile. Shen Ze asked with a smile, "where have you been? Why did you come back so late? "

 Chapter 326

    After returning to his familiar home and seeing his relatives, leisurely suddenly felt that he was particularly aggrieved. Hearing Shen Ze''s question, tears came down.


    Looking at her like this, Shen Ze hurriedly sent the baby in his arms to the nurse, quickly stepped forward, took her in his arms and asked, "what''s the matter? But what grievances have you suffered? "


    Leisurely aware of his gaffe, he took a handkerchief to dry his tears and said with a dry smile, "nothing, just small things." People in the room had already coaxed the two children out. Leisurely and slowly said the thing again, and then some uncomfortable smile, "it''s nothing to say, the princess has helped me out, but there is still a little bit of discomfort in my heart."


    Shen Ze holds her hands. "I''m useless. I can''t bring you higher status. Although Feng San had some reputation as a dandy in the past, he was not so domineering. It seems that the sixth Prince''s favor has made the Feng family a little bit adrift these days. "


    Leisurely slowly shook his head and said, "it''s all my fault. I wish I didn''t make any marble screens. Now all these things are in vain, which makes the princess scared for me. I don''t know what regulations there will be in the palace. If the princess Feng finds fault with the princess again, then I''m not a sinner for ages? "


    Wen Yan Shen Ze holds her in his arms, taps her on the shoulder and says, "don''t worry, it will be OK. It''s not the fault of you and the princess. No matter it''s the driving of the princess and the princess, it''s not too bad if someone collides with them at will. The princess just let people beat Feng en''s 20 big boards, which was already very measured. The emperor has always been holy and bright. He won''t blame you. As for concubine Feng, you can rest assured that the ladies in the palace would like to have a reason to let her down. Someone will help you deal with her then. "


    Here, Shen zerou''s soft voice calms down leisurely uneasiness and depression. The Qianyuan hall on the other side is in chaos at the moment.


    The sixth prince was already angry. He often went in and out of Qianyuan Hall these days. He thought he was very respectable. This meeting son sees this eunuch to dare to stop oneself unexpectedly, at the moment infuriated, one foot kicked toward the belly of the other party in the past. The eunuch didn''t have the slightest precaution. He was kicked to the ground, and then he covered his stomach and groaned. The sixth prince, who wanted to kick again, was stopped by the king of Liang and several eunuchs.


    Liang Wang Yi grasped the sixth Prince''s wrist and said in a deep voice, "sixth brother, calm down. This is the front of the imperial palace. The servants in Qianyuan Palace are all the confidants of the emperor, not the targets that sixth brother can beat and scold at will." Although he wanted to see the brother''s joke, he didn''t expect that the old six was so upset that he started to spread wild at the gate of Qianyuan hall. The king of Liang can''t let him run wild. If he doesn''t, why don''t he seem to be the emperor''s elder brother, who doesn''t know his brothers and friends, and who doesn''t know how to persuade him when he sees his younger brother''s mistakes?


    Although these two sentences have some show elements, they still won the favor of all eunuchs present. In particular, against the background of the manic sixth prince, his royal highness Liang is more and more gentle, polite and approachable. Don''t underestimate these inferior slaves. Sometimes their power is more terrible than you think.


    Hearing the noise at the door, lundeti asked unhappily, "who is making noise outside?" Yu Guigang just happened to see what happened outside, and he didn''t like the sixth prince. He is the eunuch in charge of Qianyuan palace. All the people here are under his command. Naturally, he is facing his own people. At the moment, he gave an eyedrop to the sixth Prince without any trace. "His Royal Highness Liang and his Royal Highness the sixth prince came to greet the emperor. The eunuch at the gate stopped him as usual, which made his highness unhappy. The slave has already comforted the sixth prince. Your majesty, do you want to invite your two Highnesses in


    Longde asked "what''s wrong with Lao Liu?" Yu guigan laughed and said, "well, where do I know? Maybe I''m not happy, right? Don''t worry, the emperor. The slave has already reprimanded the little eunuch. Don''t look at who the other party is, dare to stop at will. "


    The emperor waved his hand and said, "come on, don''t laugh there. I see that the eunuch is doing right. It''s a reward! Is Qianyuan hall a vegetable market? Who wants to be able to come in at will? What about the prince? When the prince is here, how can he come back and wait for the news? Is that the big show of Xiao Liu? " Then he looked at Feng Fei and said, "it''s really my nephew who follows my uncle. I''m a good prince who is taught by you and your mother''s family to be so domineering." Feng Fei quickly knelt down to plead guilty and said, "it''s my concubine who has no way to teach my son. Please make amends to the emperor." She forgot to tell her son in advance. This child has always been an acute person. After being instigated by villains, she should be so rude before the imperial court. It''s really worrying. At this time, she also can''t care about the others, just hope that this matter don''t involve her son.


    Lundeti took a look at her, but he didn''t shout. Then he said, "let the two of them come in. I''d like to see what the old six wants to say."


    After a while, they followed the little eunuch. The sixth prince saw Feng Fei kneeling in the center of the main hall. He quickly went to her and squatted down. He asked eagerly, "mother, how can you kneel here? How cold the ground is? "


    Feng Fei said with a light smile, "it''s all right. My mother has done something wrong and is pleading with your father. You are such a child. Don''t you give your father''s and mother''s greetings first? "


    The sixth Prince remembered this and said, "my son, please send greetings to your father and to the queen." As soon as his voice fell, he looked directly at Feng Fei. This silly son, he has made it clear, how can he still be called "empress" in such a situation? Isn''t he uncomfortable for himself?


    Sure enough, this title caused the dissatisfaction of Lund. Especially under the title of "empress mother", the fifth Prince''s courtesy is more perfunctory.


    Longde Di had some dissatisfaction in his heart, but he didn''t show it. He just asked, "what''s the matter with you coming here?"


    Before Feng Fei could mention her son, she heard the sixth Prince say angrily, "father, my son wants to do justice for his uncle. What is the princess of Rongjun? Rong princess is originally a king of different surnames, and her Princess is not as respectable as the princess of the imperial clan. Besides, few of the serious princesses in our imperial clan have soldiers. Why does a princess of Waiba road raise so many soldiers? A woman, not good at home husband and son, ran to the street to appear in public, even dare to hurt the prince''s uncle. What does she really think she is? She really didn''t pay attention to the prince

 Chapter 327

    The sixth prince was still talking, but lundeti couldn''t listen any more. He coldly drank the old six "OK, you look down on Le''an''s identity, but don''t think about what you are? They have official letters, but you''re not even a Duke! I dare to criticize at will here. I made her a princess myself, and I married the king of Rongjun myself. Are you accusing me of speaking in her capacity now? "


    Since I can remember, the sixth Prince has hardly seen such a fierce voice of emperor Longde. When he was angry with the emperor, he was just like a ball full of gas that broke a hole and collapsed. Under the cold gaze of emperor Longde, the sixth prince could not help but lower his head and said, "my son made a slip of tongue for a moment, please calm down."


    Longde Di sneered and said, "fortunately, my sons are not as stupid and arrogant as you. Otherwise, I would like to give up the country to others."


    This is too severe, the side of the king of Liang has not forgotten to give him eyedrops, "father please calm down, six younger brother is still young, what is wrong, father slowly teach is." In his nostrils, Emperor Longde snorted, "how many famous scholars and great Confucians have taught such a thing for more than ten years. What else can I expect?"


    The sixth prince was really flustered. His father was obviously disappointed with him, and he was at a loss. At this time, Feng Fei, who had been kneeling on one side, suddenly covered her stomach and cried out. All of a sudden, everyone''s eyes in the hall cast on her side.


    Seeing that Feng Fei''s forehead was sweating, Emperor Longde asked someone to call the imperial doctor.


    After a while, the imperial doctor came over and diagnosed the pulse for Feng Fei. First, he frowned, then he put on a smile and said to Emperor Longde, "congratulations to the emperor. Madam Feng is two months pregnant."


    After hearing the news, Longde Di was stunned, "is this really true?" Taiyi said with a smile, "it''s about the dragon''s descendants. I dare not speak in vain." Over 50 years old, the imperial concubine can still be pregnant, which makes Longde Di, who has lost his third son in recent years, feel refreshed in an instant. Now let''s send Feng Fei back to her bedroom for a rest, and make sure she gives birth to the emperor''s son safely.


    Seeing a good chance to attack the sixth Prince suddenly disappear, and Princess Feng is pregnant again, it is not good news for the king of Liang to give birth to boys and girls. At the end of last year, my father was still in a state of serious illness. How can he make his concubine pregnant? Liang Wang was a little absent-minded for a moment.


    Empress Meng has known about this for a long time. If the woman in the harem is pregnant and the empress doesn''t know anything about it, then she''ll let people forget about it. So I''m not too surprised to hear the news. I''m also very surprised. "Since the birth of the ninth princess, there hasn''t been any good news in the palace for two or three years. This time, concubine Feng is pregnant, and there will be another newborn in the palace. Congratulations


    Said, a series of command palace people reward a lot of good tonic and medicine to Feng Fei. With empress Meng''s advice, the king of Liang also made a happy appearance to congratulate his father. All of a sudden, there was a sound of congratulations in the hall.


    Then empress Meng glanced at Longde''s face and said with a smile, "now it''s so easy for concubine Feng to get pregnant. I think it''s better to let her brother go first, so that concubine Feng''s heart can make her care for the emperor. Alas, it''s necessary for Le''an to suffer some grievances. "


    Hearing Le''an''s name, lundeti''s heart of joy suddenly became heavy again. Alas, the child has been wronged enough. Will she be wronged again this time?


    Empress Meng then said to herself, "it''s said that the mounting shop is the property of the eldest daughter of the Feng family. I don''t know what evil they did in their last life. How can they always get involved in the same thing?"


    Emperor Longde asked "the eldest daughter of Feng Jiashu? What does she have to do with it? "


    Empress Meng pretended to be surprised and said with a smile, "has the emperor never heard of this? The love affair that heroes save beauty and beauties promise each other by themselves has spread all over the capital. I thought the emperor must have heard of it. " With that, he said something about Miss Feng and Qi Heng. Finally, she pretended with emotion, "this Miss Feng is also true. If Rong Wang had no wife, she might not be able to achieve a good story by doing so. But knowing that someone else has a serious wife and is in a hurry to become a concubine, not only does she lose the reserve that a woman should have, but also has some influence on the love between Le''an and her husband and wife. Fortunately, Qi Heng''s child is still steady and doesn''t care about her. Otherwise, Le''an won''t be killed. " These men in high positions may be used to being overbearing. They can have three wives and four concubines. But I don''t like my daughter repeating his wife''s fate. Therefore, hearing this, lundeti was very angry. He could not help asking, "when did this happen?"


    Empress Meng thought a little and said, "that''s what happened two days ago." After that, he said with some chagrin, "it''s so noisy. I''ve heard about it in the harem. I thought the emperor knew about it. Now it seems that I''m talkative. "


    On second thought, Emperor Longde knew that the Feng family''s trick had not been carried out. It was too much deceiving to look for a place nearby! He said in a deep voice, "Zitong, what are these words? If you don''t tell me, how can I know about it? " In an instant, he made a decision in his heart. Feng Enyi confessed that he had the courage to collide with the princess of zhengyipin county and deliberately hurt people''s heart. His crime should be punished! Shangling exiles Ninggu pagoda from now on. Because of his lax family management and poor discipline, the children of Ding''an''s family behaved in a licentious and unruly way, and were reduced from first-class uncle to third-class uncle. As for the leader of the incident, Miss Feng was sent to the temple to become a monk at the hint of emperor Lund.


    When Miss Feng was sent away, she still didn''t know what had gone wrong? After a lot of inquiries, she confirmed the news that King Liang had secretly hurt his offspring from the mouth of the retired doctor Jiang Taiyi. The empress and the prince of his own family are more favored than before. At the critical moment, as long as the secret illness of the king of Liang is told to the world, the king of Liang will lose the qualification of inheriting the grand unification. At that time, the sixth prince will have a very big hope to succeed the throne. How can things suddenly turn around? She doesn''t want to go to any nunnery or become a monk! After a long time of planning after rebirth, step by step, it''s so easy to win a certain voice at home. It can be said that with some achievements, how can you be willing to do nothing! She wanted to struggle and cry, but nothing helped. The person who is cautious of torture in the palace comes to pick up the person in person, naturally will not have the slightest soft hand to her. Even the nunnery didn''t arrive, and Miss Feng, who was born again with high ambition, had been quietly disposed of. After his death, he didn''t even have a coffin, but a broken bed swept over and buried in the mountains.


    If you let leisurely know these, you can only sigh that your heart is higher than heaven and your life is thinner than paper!


    As for Feng en, he was sent to exile without even healing his wounds. No matter how the Feng family tried to help him, after this, the leisurely family and Ding''an Bofu were completely married! Rongwangfu has been standing for many years. It is not easy for a Bofu to shake it. In contrast, although the leisurely couple have the government as the backstage, their foundation is still weak.


    Leisurely knew that from then on, their family would have to put all their treasures on the king of Liang. Once the sixth Prince and Feng Fei are in power, they will be destroyed together with their family. To seize the muddy water, they must go and have a run!

 Chapter 328

    Feng Zhi of Ding''an is a man of his own name. He has a city. After knowing the whole story, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he always looks like a beautiful moon. Everyone said they were not the Shen family. They didn''t hate the Shen family because their daughter and nephew were betrayed. Afterwards, he also went out of his way to find a rest day and took his wife to leisurely''s home to apologize.


    Now that they have come, uncle Ding''an is not an unknown person. The Shen family is always missing. Shen Ze personally went to the gate to welcome Feng Zhi, while leisurely came to the second gate general, Mrs. Feng, to speak in the flower hall.


    Although Mrs. Feng is over 40 years old, she looks very young because of the proper maintenance. There is also a unique charm between every move, which makes people feel approachable.


    Leisurely smile will lead her to the flower hall to sit down, "I do not know uncle and wife today, not far away to welcome, really impolite."


    Mrs. Feng said with a quick smile, "Mrs. Shen is so polite. It''s just that our family has done something wrong. It''s a great honor for the virtuous couple to let us in."


    While they were talking, they had already arrived at the flower hall and sat down as guests of honor. Mrs. Feng was a cheerful woman. After she sat down, she went straight in and whispered, "it''s all my mother who can''t teach her children well. I don''t have a daughter. The big girl in my family grew up with me when she was young. I treated her like a daughter. And she was born without a mother, I can''t help but love her a little more, I didn''t expect that she was used to too much arrogance. Today''s affairs are all due to her selfishness. I''m really responsible for being my own mother. It''s a shame that Mrs. Shen and the princess were wronged in vain! "


    Leisurely smile back way "Madam don''t have to be so, the children have their own ideas. Even if it is natural, there will inevitably be some disputes, not to mention that it is not natural. Now that everything has been revealed, madam, you don''t have to worry about it. "


    At this time leisurely did not know that Miss Feng had been secretly disposed of, but Mrs. Feng had vaguely guessed the outcome of the concubine. For this cheap daughter, Mrs. Feng was sincere at the beginning. At the beginning, I was afraid that she would be married to a rich family and suffer, so I chose a poor Jinshi who had a bright future and was easy to handle. Just didn''t expect, it was this marriage that made the common girl feel resentful towards her. Since beating her and returning home, she has been tripping her several times secretly. At the beginning, Mrs. Feng still wanted to reconcile with this common girl. Later, when she saw that she was obstinate, her mind began to fade, and she just let herself toss.


    Now Mrs. Feng can''t help regretting. She should have been more tough at the beginning. She shouldn''t let the common girl and ER Fang get involved with each other, resulting in today''s passive situation.


    Fortunately, this is not without benefits, two rooms in the past always rely on their own room out of a prince''s empress, in the house is always fighting everywhere. In addition, the old lady has always been partial to the second son, and the second wife''s appearance in the house is almost better than that of her uncle''s wife. Especially since several princes died one after another, the arrogance of Er Fang almost reached the peak.


    This time it''s good to see the eldest son of the second room toss himself to ningguta. Even if the empress in the palace is pregnant, she can''t let the emperor withdraw. This time, the couple in the second room were very silly.


    Uncle, although he was more modest to ER Fang in the past, it was only for the sake of the old lady and the mother. This time, the hereditary titles in the house were reduced to second class. Even the old lady could not be more partial to the second room. Although she didn''t want to see the second room''s bad luck, if it made the second room a little more restrained, Mrs. Feng''s heart was also willing.


    In fact, if it was just to make amends to the Shen family, it would not have been possible for the two of them to come to the door in person. The most important thing they want to do is to test the meaning of Xinsu.


    Therefore, after talking for a while, Mrs. Feng hesitated and said, "it''s reasonable for Mrs. Shen to be generous. It''s already a blessing for our family not to pursue us. But I still have a heartless request here. I hope Mrs. Shen can help me to say something nice in front of the princess. "


    This is to let leisurely some surprise, she thought they had been to Rongjun palace. So he said with a smile, "haven''t uncle and his wife been to the prefecture?" Although Mrs. Feng was a little embarrassed, she said directly, "to be honest, my master and I went to Rongjun palace early in the morning. It''s just that the servants of the royal family have stopped outside, saying that the princess is not feeling well these days


    Mingming went to play chess with Fang Xinsu for half a day yesterday, but she didn''t feel uncomfortable. I don''t know what medicine she sells in the gourd. Leisurely, she won''t tear down the platform of the prefecture. At the moment, she sighed, "I think my wife knows my background. When the princess of Rongjun first came to Beijing, I served her. I know something about the temperament of the princess. She is tolerant and generous. It''s just that the princess was born in a noble family. Even if her parents died, she didn''t receive any treatment. Have you ever suffered such humiliation and fright? I think there must be some worries in my mind for a while. In a few days, when the storm of this matter is abated, it will not be too late for my wife to make plans. "


    Mrs. Feng said with a smile, "even so, I always feel a little uneasy that I can''t plead with my mother in person. Now that my mother is not worried about this, I am even more restless. Mrs. Shen and Niang Niang have always been good friends. I wonder if I could ask her to mediate for me? I have a thank-you gift here. I don''t know if I can ask my wife to help deliver it to the empress? "


    After pondering for a while, she said in a slow voice, "Madam looks up to me. I shouldn''t have said goodbye, but I can''t figure out the mind of the empress. Well, when I see you later, I will tell you my wife''s apology. As for how she responds, I really dare not speculate. "


    Mrs. Feng clapped her hands and said with a smile, "it''s already a great kindness for Mrs. Feng to help mediate Then he waved his hand, and several stout women carried two big boxes in. Mrs. Feng pointed to the two boxes and said, "this red one is for your wife, and the purple one is for your wife to hand over to the princess of Rongjun."


    Leisurely stood up and said, "it''s just a matter of lifting a hand. I''m really sorry that my wife gave me such a heavy gift."


    Mrs. Feng also stood up and said with a smile, "it''s just a box of things. You have to make amends to your wife and ask her to help you. You don''t think it''s too simple. If you refuse again, you''ll make my old face have nowhere to put."


    After listening to her, leisurely had to take it.


    When Mrs. Feng saw that the purpose of her trip had been achieved, she should have retired after success, but her husband didn''t mean to leave. When he got up, he had to watch the furnishings of the house. Then he praised, "it''s said that the princess of Rongjun is always elegant. I see that her wife is also a good one. No wonder she can win the favor of the two princesses. Just now I came from outside. I saw that the scenery in the garden was good. The objects in the room were well placed. It was elegant and simple. It had a natural interest. In particular, the two pots of gardenia, especially the spirit of open. It not only decorates the room, but also brings the fragrance of flowers to the room. From this, it seems that the lady is really elegant. "

 Chapter 329

    This boast of leisurely are a little embarrassed, "but free time to stir things up, not elegant, let the lady laugh."


    Mrs. Feng said with a smile, "madam, this is too modest, not to mention the famous camellia and orchid I have seen in the empress. Even Gardenia such a common flower in the hands of the lady is also so aural. No matter how humble you are, how can we common people be


    Wen Yan leisurely covered his mouth and said with a smile, "still talking about me, ma''am, aren''t you modest? You''re not a layman as you are


    Mrs. Feng also said with a smile, "fortunately, there is no outsider here. If people watch us boast about each other here, they don''t know how to laugh at us."


    At this time, a servant girl came to report that uncle Yong''an was waiting for Mrs. Feng outside. Mrs. Feng said with a smile, "so I''ll leave now. Today I met Mrs. Shen, but I felt quite congenial. We can''t be strangers. In the future, if there is an opportunity, we should have more contacts. "


    Leisurely back to the way "that''s natural, can with Mrs. Bo such a reasonable elder friends is also my blessing." Then he sent Mrs. Feng to the second door and waited for her back to disappear before turning back to the inner room.


    Back in the room, leisurely took off the big phoenix hairpin with its red gold wings. It''s very impressive to wear it, but the weight is really heavy. It''s really painful to wear it. Just now I heard that Mrs. Feng was here. She thought she was going to fight a tough battle today! In a hurry, she chose a powerful Jin Chai, but the scene was much more peaceful than she had imagined.


    As soon as she changed into her home clothes, Shen Ze came in and sat down on the Luohan couch by the window. Leisurely took the opportunity to sit next to him and asked with a smile, "how are you there? What did Uncle Feng say?"


    Shen Ze said with a low smile, "what else can I do? Naturally, I sincerely apologize for Ding''an Bofu. What about you? " Leisurely light smile, "Mrs. Feng is a gentle person, naturally is a mild wind and rain." He poured a cup of tea and handed it to his husband. Shen Ze took a sip from the teacup, and then pondered, "Uncle Ding An means to separate from the Feng family."


    Wen Yan leisurely was a little surprised. "The empress and the sixth prince in the palace are all from the second room. If Ding Anbo is separated from the second room at this time, isn''t it clear that he doesn''t like the sixth prince?"


    The corner of Shen Ze''s mouth was tickled, "ah," and he said, "Uncle Ding''an has never said openly that he would stand for the sixth prince, that is, the children of Dafang. Apart from a concubine''s daughter, the others have never heard of how close he is to the second prince."


    Leisurely sigh a "Alas, these rich noble people, which mind is not nine twists and eighteen bends? What''s the point of living such a life when we are brothers of our closest relatives, but we always suspect and run on each other? "


    Shen Ze patted her hand with a smile. "It''s just for the sake of fame and fortune. Not everyone cares about it as much as you do."


    Leisurely said, "I see that Xi''er is going to be married next year. We should look at her marriage now. I don''t see many boys of this age. If you see any children of similar age outside, you might as well pay attention to them secretly. We can always see his character after watching them for two or three years. When it''s time to save it, you''ll see that it''s a yard black, and then you''ll delay Xi''er. "


    Shen Ze didn''t care much and said, "sister Xi is still young. It will take four or five years for her to come out of the cabinet. Then I''ll watch it slowly."


    Leisurely which don''t know him, say is don''t care, in fact in the heart is not willing to marry his sister. Just let him figure it out. So leisurely also don''t want to point out his careful thinking, only smile to expose past.


    On the second day, leisurely took the red box to Rongjun palace early in the morning. Fang Xinsu had already guessed her intention. When she met, she joked, "didn''t you come just before? Why are you here again today? " Leisurely angry at her one eye, "I thought you knew that person yesterday was not pushed by you?" Fang Xinsu turned her eyes and said with a smile, "it''s a countess at least. I didn''t intend to neglect her. Just yesterday happened that our family was at home. After hearing the door''s announcement, we pushed it directly. I expected that they would come to you later, so I thought it would be better to push them and earn a favor for you, wouldn''t it? "


    Leisurely helpless smile way "such human feelings I would rather not.". Fortunately, Mrs. Bo looks generous. If you change your mind to a smaller one, how can you still hate me? "


    Fang Xinsu casually said, "it''s mediocre not to attract people''s jealousy, and it''s not necessarily bad to have people''s jealousy.". By the way, what do you think of this ding''anbo couple? "


    Leisurely back way "I didn''t see Ding An Bo, listen to my husband said is a reasonable.". After talking with Mrs. Feng for a long time, it seems that she is not so sinister. However, these two only paid for the Bo family, but they didn''t mention the second husband and wife at home. "


    Fang Xinsu sneered, "I heard that after Feng en was sentenced to exile, the second room of the Feng family threatened to see me. I''d like to see what else they can do? "


    Leisurely frowned and said, "the second husband and wife are just themselves. The second master of the Feng family is just a five character manager of Honglu temple, and has no real power. It''s just that the lady Feng in the palace is in the limelight now, and you often go in and out of the palace. I''m afraid that the lady Feng will play some tricks against you. "


    Fang Xinsu and Liu Mei said, "I''m not afraid of her using Yin moves in the palace. If that''s the case, I''d rather help her."


    It turns out that Feng feineng gave birth to a prince safely in the dark and turbulent back palace, and she was also a little smart. Just a few days ago, she was a little flattered by her sudden favor, until her brother was exiled by Lund di. She realized that thunder, rain and dew are all grace! If the emperor wants you to be honored, you will be honored. The emperor doesn''t want to give you dignity. No matter how much he does, it''s useless.


    Therefore, after the event, Princess Feng did not ask for any more love for her mother''s family. At the same time, she also told her son not to make any more noise about it, let alone go to trouble with Le''an and others. The sixth Prince listened to the wails, originally prepared to take the leisurely shop to vent his anger, listened to the mother''s words, had to stop temporarily.


    Leisurely don''t know, she in invisible again dodge a calculation.


    Over there, Fang Xinsu opened the box leisurely brought. He saw that it was not full of gold, silver and jewelry. There is only one famous painting of the former dynasty, a pair of green jade bracelets, a pair of top-quality Shoushan stone seals, a warm ancient inkstone, a pair of Jasper Guanyin bottles and an agate carved Xiangyun ornament. After a leisurely look, she said with a smile, "it seems that Mrs. Bo really inquired about your preferences."

 Chapter 330

    Fang Xinsu is used to seeing good things, but he doesn''t think much about the rest. He just likes the Shoushan stone seals. Now he said with a smile, "I''ve been thinking about finding a good stone to carve a chapter. Now I don''t have to worry about it. No matter what medicine the Feng family sells in the gourd, we''ll just watch it slowly. If Dafang doesn''t work with ER Fang, we''re missing an enemy. If their husband and wife just want to be careless, can''t we just be soft persimmons and let them handle them? "


    Leisurely after sending things back home, at the same time did not forget to let people send messages to the Feng family. Just a word, Rong Wang''s house has received something, and Mrs. Feng knows it in her heart. At the same time, she was rewarded with a thick red envelope from Su He, who was going to deliver the letter. At the same time, she was busy reporting to her master.


    Anyway, it''s over for a while. As long as Dafang and Feng Fei are stable for a while, there will be no big waves.


    This matter has been tossed about for several days, and many people have seen it that day. Some people who are close to others naturally have to send someone to ask, and leisurely cover back some words like "misunderstanding, now it''s OK". Only the very close family and others knew the whole story. Even the Xu family only heard about it.


    It is said that this incident involves a princess of a county and a prince''s family. I dare not talk too much. She was afraid that her mother-in-law would say something she shouldn''t say. She not only reminded her several times, but also told her sister-in-law to see Bai''s family and not let her say something she shouldn''t say at this time. Xu Bai was so angry that he muttered to his daughter in her room, "look, whose mother-in-law has been oppressed like me? Now I''m under the control of my daughter-in-law! I don''t want to say that. I''ll call her mother-in-law later. "


    Yinlian quickly advised, "mother, what are you saying? My sister-in-law is also very kind. "


    Bai Shi refused to accept and snorted, "what kind of kindness? If you want me to say that zege''s daughter-in-law is also a troublemaker, she has to make a marble screen. I heard that one stone cost several thousand taels of silver? Now I haven''t even seen a scum, and I have offended the prince''s family for nothing. As she did, sooner or later the family would be ruined by her. Why can''t I be an aunt? But each of you is guarding me like a thief. I''m not allowed to talk. What can''t be said? You are my own daughter, too. Now I''m talking to outsiders. I''m so angry


    Seeing that her mother was confused again, yinlian rolled her eyes. I don''t blame my sister-in-law for guarding against her like a thief. If I let her go to my sister-in-law, I think the love between the two families will be over. But my sister-in-law said that my cousin''s godfather was a great minister in charge of the appointment and promotion of officials. If my brother really wins this time, he will have to trouble others to help him find a good vacancy. What''s the harm of making friends with their family? As for those princes and the like, they are far away from their home!


    What''s more, my sister-in-law also said that if my family settled down in Beijing, I had to find her husband''s family in Beijing. Their family has been here for a short time, and they are not familiar with the land, so they have to bother their cousins to help them


    Think of here, the double cheek of silver Lotus can''t help but like the fire burned general red rise.


    See girl silly Leng Leng in there bow a language, Bai Shi pushed her a "you this Ni son, what is thinking?"? I don''t answer Seeing her face, I thought she was not feeling well, so I asked, "what''s the matter with you? Isn''t it uncomfortable? "


    Silver lotus embarrassed smile way "no, just didn''t sleep well last night, some dizziness."


    Bai Shipai said, "I see you, don''t be too sincere. It''s true that your sister-in-law has found you a teaching aunt, but she can''t boil her bones. Looking at your thin face these days is really distressing. "


    Yinlian raised her hand and looked at the small meat nest on the back of her hand. For a long time, she was speechless. Where did you see that my daughter was thin? I was so fat that I couldn''t wear last autumn''s clothes


    If this girl lives in modern times, she will know that there is a kind of thinness called your mother thinks you are thin. Anyway, no matter how Bai''s complaints make complaints about her, the two thing that the sister-in-law of her is to keep her eyes tight, and will never let her speak to her in a leisurely way.


    Soon the day of unveiling the list was approaching. Bai began to be nervous for his son, and gradually put the matter behind him.


    It''s her mother, sister-in-law, Xiuyun and Yulian, who give her a lot of consolation and make leisurely feel the warmth from her relatives again.


    Even Shen Tian called her to his house, and Haosheng comforted her. Leisurely with their own Chuang Tzu just out of the fresh cherry to the Liang palace, just fangxinsu is also here. Shen Tian saw her and said with a smile, "you''re just in time. Just now this shameless man is still showing off to me. He said that he ate your first cherry two days ago. I''ll see if you have anything new in the future. I''ll forget about her. "


    After hearing this, Fang Xinsu rolled his eyes and said, "do you think leisurely is you? We''ve shared the same bed. You can''t compare our love. There''s less mischief here. Didn''t I just eat a few cherries before you? Look, you''re greedy, Prince Zhengfei. For the sake of this idea, it''s here, huqin. I''m not afraid of people''s jokes when I say it? "


    The two sisters are having fun here, but they still have to say, "it''s cold this year, and there''s a lot of rain. Cherries are not ripe as early as usual, and their appearance is not good. The day before yesterday, Chuang Tzu sent a box of cherries. It''s true, but it''s cracked. It''s so easy to choose a dish with good taste, but there are only ten. It happened that the princess sent someone to deliver something, so I gave it back to her. "


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "I just said it casually. Naturally, your things will be given to whoever you want. I just can''t see the pride of some people. If they have such a rare thing, they can eat it by themselves. Since you don''t want to share some with my cousin, don''t show it off. Really, who is it? "


    In the meantime, the servant girl just brought up the washed cherries. Red cherry placed in the green jade dish, it is more delicious.


    Fang Xinsu personally brought a dish to Shen Tian and said, "good sister, I''m wrong. Please don''t give me the same opinion. This dish of cherry fruit is my sister''s apology. "


    Shen Tian took the dish, but she still didn''t let go of her plan. "You''re very good at offering flowers to Buddha. You take other people''s things as a favor. Besides, you came here early in the morning empty handed, and you dawdled on my breakfast in vain. Now a plate of cherries is going to kill me? I''m sure Mrs. amber has sent you a big box of good things

 Chapter 331

    Fang Xinsu casually replied, "look what you said. A real princess is as fussy as that little lady, but she has a face?"


    Shen Tian glanced at her without showing weakness, "what''s wrong with the princess? The princess has to eat! It''s not as comfortable as a market lady. They only think about the livelihood of one family at most. I have so many people waiting to eat here that I can''t make them hungry one by one, can''t I


    What do you mean by this? Leisurely and Fang Xinsu look at each other. Fang Xinsu first asks, "OK, I just came here to see that your face is not right. But what happened? "


    Leisurely also pay and way "Niang Niang if there is any trouble, just say it, I and the princess are not outsiders, if can do from when duty bound!"


    Shen Tian smiles and shakes his head. "If it really works for you, I would have said it. It''s no use just telling you. Let''s forget it. It''s nothing vertical or horizontal. It''s just less input. " Then he picked up a cherry and put it in his mouth. He praised, "there are some ripe cherries beside the cherries, but they are not as delicious as yours."


    Seeing that Shen Tian didn''t want to talk deeply, they didn''t ask much. Listen to her say so, Fang Xinsu also followed to change the head "is not it? I reckon leisurely. In my last life, I should have been a plant spirit. Otherwise, how could I be more powerful than others? "


    Being teased like this by her, leisurely also only feel sad. A few people joked, ate lunch here, and played for a long time, until Jinwu west fall, just leave home. When he left, Shen Tian took leisurely hand and said, "if the Feng family are more peaceful, you don''t have to worry about any more moths. You should fight back. You can''t take care of it. Just send someone to me. His Feng family is the prince''s family, our family is not bad. Like this time, I only know it when I hear it from others. It seems that we have a lot of differences! "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "I didn''t mean not to tell my mother. At first, I was too busy to forget. Later, when I saw that everything had calmed down, I felt there was no need for my mother to worry about it. If it happens again, I will have to have the courage to ask you if I don''t say it, and I hope to pull your banner! "


    Shen Tian also said with a smile, "if my flag is still useful, just pull it out." After a few more words, they separated.


    After returning home, leisurely said Shen Tian''s abnormality to Shen Ze for a while, and then said anxiously, "I can''t guess where the empress is in trouble. I''m not in high spirits. If you have time, why don''t you go back to the government and find out what your uncle is talking about? If we can help, we can do our best. "


    Shen Ze pondered a little, then said in a slow voice, "I know the reason for this. The empress had a big business in her hand, which could bring in hundreds of thousands of yuan a year. But now he has been cut off by others. I''m afraid that this business will not be done in the future. The loss of such a large input will naturally make the empress feel at ease. "


    Hundreds of thousands, so much? Leisurely had seen Shen Tian''s dowry list before, and knew that although her dowry was thick, her annual income was about 50000-60000 Liang. The profit of the glass shop she sent was higher at the beginning, but now it''s more popular. It''s estimated that the annual profit is about 100000 yuan, which is far less than what Shen Ze said! What kind of business is it?


    Besides, Shen Tian is just a princess, not the king of Liang. How many people are her dowries? How come you can''t afford to support people? She didn''t secretly raise an army, did she?


    Leisurely asked his doubts, Shen Ze''s answer confirmed her guess. This, this is too bold, right? If people know it, it''s definitely a disaster for the nine nationalities! She couldn''t help asking, "why does the lady do this?"


    Shen Zeyou sighed, "I didn''t approve of it when I first knew it. If someone else knew it, the consequences would be unimaginable. But later, looking at Liang Wang''s way of doing things, this master was not the kind of person who wanted to repay his kindness. This is just a precaution! Even your uncle doesn''t know about it. You just know it in your heart. Don''t let it out This is really the crime of losing one''s head. Leisurely, I know the importance. She used to think that her husband was steady and prudent, but now she looks like a brave guy!


    Having this matter a contrast, leisurely immediately feel that the Feng family that matter a few days ago is really nothing! It''s too challenging for her. Her mother is a heroine. She doesn''t like the queen at all, so she goes to the Empress Dowager directly!


    If you think about it, who doesn''t praise the words "virtuous, magnanimous, fair and just" when you mention Prince Liang and his concubine inside and outside the capital? In Shen Tian''s mind, Liang Wang is just her springboard, right? What about yourself? What is he in Shen Tian''s heart?


    It''s really shocking! If this is done by a modern woman, it''s all right. It was planned by a native ancients. According to Shen Ze, the arrangement had already begun before Shen Tian got married. How old was Shen Tian then? You''re only seventeen or eighteen? Think about what she was doing in her previous life? Chasing romance novels or the handsome guy in the next class? Look at them again! Alas, people are more angry than others!


    It seems that ambition has nothing to do with crossing! Leisurely enough to digest the news for several days.


    When she regained her old spirit again, it was time for the imperial examination results to be announced.


    The Shen family sent the boy and the steward to Dakang gate early in the morning. Just haven''t waited for the next people of Shen family to come back, leisurely mother''s home there already sent someone to send the list of Chunwei!


    Whenever there are people in the court, it''s easier to do things.


    Xu Changhui and leisurely cousin Yang Lu are both on the list. Yang Lv is the third of the second class, and Xu Changzhi is the sixty-eight of the second class. All of them are the second class Jinshi! From then on, both of them are students of the emperor and master Jinshi!


    After getting the list, leisurely busy send someone to tell the two families. Yang Lu was more mature in the end. Although he was excited, he was still stable on the surface. The whole family of the Xu family was laughing and not closing their mouths. Especially after the ritual Department sent the good news, the Xu family was even more elated. Even Bai, who was always stingy, was rarely generous this time. I gave five Liang silver to each of the two official messengers who sent the good news.


    Of course, the two families got what they wanted and were elated. However, some people will be happy and some people will be lost. Xiuyun''s prime minister failed to win this time, which inevitably leads to some loss. Fortunately, he was open-minded. After the loss, he changed his clothes and went to give gifts to his uncle and Xu family.

 Chapter 332

    The three of them talk about learning together these days. They all know something about each other. They both comfort Feng Quan. Even when he came safely for a drink at night, he specially comforted him that his time had come. Even if he failed this time, he would still have a chance next time. He is a man of self-knowledge. He thinks he is inferior to Xu Changhui in terms of qualification and experience. This time, even if he fails, he doesn''t feel discouraged. He is still young, and there will be opportunities in the future.


    After they won the Jinshi, Yang Che and Chang Hui Xu naturally took part in a series of public or private activities, such as horse riding tours and spring feast. And their spouses have no leisure at home, so they naturally have their own communication to deal with.


    Because Yang Che''s wife had not come with him, he was even more inseparable from his hometown after he became a scholar. Yang Che is now living in the Shen family. He has to help to entertain his family. But, within two days, she was a little bored.


    Her life is not worth mentioning in the eyes of some "national uncles", but in the eyes of many people, it is really a huge "sweet cake". In particular, she was the daughter of the Han family. After she became a Jinshi, she became an official. There are many people who want to take this opportunity to curry favor with Mr. Han through leisurely. Even if they are all seven grade magistrate, the county magistrate in this land of fish and rice and the county magistrate in remote areas are not the same.


    It''s not that he looks down on others. It''s just that the old classmates of Yang''s cousin are mostly farming and studying families. Their families really have all kinds of rules. Some people''s rules are really unbearable. Compared with them, Bai''s response was good. Some people are really reckless and ruthless. They don''t deal with these people for a long time. Although they won''t be afraid of them, they are really bored.


    What''s more, the ridiculous family took her aunt to visit her, and was blown out by leisurely.


    In the Dakang Dynasty, concubines were favored at home, and there was no example of going out to see guests. Even the imperial concubine can''t go out of the palace at will. It''s good for this family. A mother-in-law who doesn''t bring a serious daughter-in-law comes here with an aunt. Whose face is it?


    The rest of the women''s family members looked at the gentle and peaceful appearance, only thinking that they had met a Bodhisattva. Who thought that in a moment, the Bodhisattva would become a Luocha? Seeing that the situation was not good, everyone left one after another.


    Just this day, Ann and her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were talking here, and she sighed leisurely, "this is to know people, face and heart." But Bai suddenly put in a sentence: "why don''t you know, this old woman''s face is not a good thing, high cheekbones and thin lips, a kind of mean!"


    If someone else said this, it''s OK. He glanced at Bai leisurely and without any trace. His heart was full of high cheekbones and thin lips. Are you sure you''re not talking about yourself?


    Yinlian tugs at Bai''s clothes to stop her chatter. "It''s getting late, we should go back to prepare lunch, so we won''t be bothered here."


    Leisurely smile to see them off, and then from the next day, no one can see. Just show cloud couple haven''t left, leisurely then will this to and fro of work to her. Since Feng Quan is determined to make some achievements in the imperial examination, this kind of scene Xiuyun will experience sooner or later, so he can take this opportunity to exercise. There are several years in charge of the woman in the side of the direction, but there is no big trouble.


    This day, after seeing off the last wave of guests, Xiuyun drags some tired body back to his yard. Seeing this, Feng Quan personally received the door, helped her to the chair, frowned and poured a cup of tea for her. "It''s not our own home. Why do you care about these things? Don''t you ask for trouble?"


    Wen Yan, Xiuyun put the cup on the table, "do you think I''m willing to do these things? Who am I doing this for? Now that you have made up your mind to take the imperial examination, this kind of human relationship is not all necessary in the future. Can it be true? Wait until you''re burning your eyebrows and then cram for a while? "


    Feng Quanna said, "I know what you said. I''m afraid you''re tired."


    Xiuyun replied, "I''d like to be tired, too! Not to mention that my cousin is now Mrs. Gao Ming of zhengsanpin. Even before, she grew up in the Duke''s mansion. You don''t think that she can entertain just a few people? This is an excuse to teach me! Otherwise, Granny Xu over there also said that she would come here to help. How could her cousin not? It''s not my cousin. Who cares? And the mother Zhang, who helped me, came out of the palace. It is said that she had served the Empress Dowager before. It was my cousin who invited me to teach Miss Shen. This club came here specially to give me advice. It''s hard to find such an opportunity with a lantern on! If I''m afraid of hardship and tiredness, I''ll be too ungrateful! "


    When Feng Quan saw that his daughter-in-law''s statement was justified, he had to say, "yes, what the lady said is right. It''s for her husband''s sake."


    Leisurely see cousin quickly understood his intention, learn these things to unusual earnest hard, in the heart is finally a sigh of relief, are close relatives, she naturally is willing to own sister also more and more excellent. She has already helped pave the road. How much she can learn depends on her cousin''s own understanding.

 Chapter 333

    Since Xu Changhui won the Jinshi, the Xu family formally put on the agenda the matter of buying a house and settling down in the capital. Especially after Xu Changhui was appointed to the Hanlin academy, the Xu family wanted to buy a house as soon as possible.


    As a matter of fact, the Xu family is not as dilapidated as outsiders think. In addition to the old house and Chuang Tzu, there are always ten thousand pieces of cash in hand. There are several thousand taels of silver in an''s dowry. According to her idea, it''s better to buy a bigger house to save more trouble in the future.


    But Xu Changhui is used to low-key, do not want to be so eye-catching. What he meant was to buy a smaller one to live in, and the rest later. It''s just that it''s not a bowl. It''s hard to find a suitable one for a while.


    "My cousin''s family moved to Xicheng in September. We can''t follow them to move to a new house. This house, when the master''s home is gone, it''s not like we live here ourselves. We need to find a suitable one as soon as possible. "


    Leisurely helped them introduce two very appropriate people in the house, and they also saw a lot, but they still didn''t find a suitable one. Xu Changhui felt his chin, "if only my cousin would sell this house."


    "You are so busy these days, Mr. prime minister," she said with a dumb smile. "I don''t think this house is left by the Shen family''s Gaozu. As far as cousin''s family is concerned, it''s not easy to sell the house. Has Xianggong never said this to anyone? "


    Xu Changhui rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "of course there is no such thing. I just said it casually. Can I still not know what you said? We are all looking at houses in the West these days. The prices are too high. It costs five or six thousand taels to buy a flat that is not very good. It''s too expensive! "


    "In fact, it''s not that I can''t afford to bite my teeth," she said


    Xu Changhui said, "I can afford to buy it, but after I buy the house, I always have to repair it and buy some furniture. It''s always a big expense. Moreover, we need to set aside some money to buy a few mu of land or a small shop in Beijing, which can also subsidize some household expenses. Otherwise, with my salary in the Hanlin academy, it''s a big problem just to feed our family. "


    "Isn''t there me? If you really don''t do it, I''ll use my dowry first. "


    Xu Changhui shook his head and said, "how can that be done? Your dowry will be left to our children in the future. You can''t use it casually. Besides, how can a big man embezzle his wife''s dowry! Absolutely not. Well, I heard that the house price in the east side is cheaper. Although the west is expensive and the East is rich, our family has a shallow foundation, so we don''t have to pay too much attention to it. My cousin, the third grade senior member, has not been in Beicheng for so many years? If this place is not too far away from the yamen, I would like to buy a house here. "


    The couple discussed and soon chose a set of Sanjin house near Xicheng. It turned out that it was also the house of an official family. It happened that the family planned to take a foreign job. After three or five years, they didn''t plan to come back, so they planned to sell the house. Both of them were sincere, and they soon agreed on the price. Together with the large pieces of furniture, they made a total price of 4000 Liang.


    Liangxiali soon completed the transfer contract. An was just about to find someone to clean up the new house, and Xu Changhui''s ancestor worship holiday began. So an Shi had to apologize to you ran and said, "I should have moved out and returned to my hometown to worship my ancestors. Who knows that the Yamen has arranged this month to worship my ancestors."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "what''s the point? Since it is the arrangement of the yamen, we should obey it. In particular, cousin Xu is a newcomer, so it''s not good because of these little things and ink marks. Now that the arrangements are made, the younger brothers and sisters just follow their cousins back. You can live here as long as you want. Don''t be in a hurry


    "My cousin is so reasonable. I really don''t know what to say," she said


    Leisurely said with a smile, "they are all relatives. If you say that again, it''s a layman."


    Different from Xu Changhui, Yang Che directly engaged in external affairs. As early as before the examination, he told his cousin and husband about his intention. After all, he is already over thirty years old, and it will be difficult for him to make great progress in his life if he starts his qualification from a small Imperial Academy. It''s better to go to a place and have a fight. If you''re lucky, you can''t say what you can do! Unlike Xu Changhui, this is a real relative. Therefore, both Shen Ze and Enron contributed to his appointment. Although it is not a rich place in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is also a relatively stable Huizhou.


    After he was appointed, Xu Changhui went to Huizhou to take up his post.


    But Xiuyun and his wife stayed in the capital all the time, and they negotiated to buy a house in the capital, and then they would pick up the children. Even if the couple go back to the countryside later, they can get some change by renting the house here, which is better than putting it in their hands.


    The Feng family is an ordinary farming and reading family, and Feng Quan is just a young son. They have a lot of money in their hands, so they can''t be as extravagant as the Xu family. After seeing the two houses bought by Yulian, Xiuyun discussed with Feng Quan and bought a second house in Beicheng. Five or six hundred Liang is enough.


    Moreover, it is close to Guozijian and Cultural Academy, so it''s cheap to take imperial examinations in the future. After listening to their plans, leisurely feel that this cousin husband and wife both have music in their hearts. He nodded and said, "you and your brother-in-law have considered everything very well. There''s nothing wrong. But, do your parents in law want you to buy a house in Beijing? "


    Xiuyun said with a smile, "two years ago, my husband revealed this idea at home. Although my father-in-law was reluctant, they were destined to live with our elder brother-in-law''s family. My cousin didn''t know that my eldest brother was also a scholar since he was a child, but he was only a scholar after many years of examination. Now Xianggong has been married since he was young. The eldest brother and his wife are always jealous of Xianggong. My father-in-law also knew this in his heart. He was afraid that the two brothers would make a lot of trouble for the idea and property in the future, so he gave us the home early. "


    Leisurely said, "it seems that the old man of the Feng family is still very thorough, unlike some old people who blindly" do not suffer from poverty but from inequality ". After all, they have read books, but they are different!"


    Xiuyun nodded and said, "isn''t it? My father often said that my father-in-law was a man of understanding. And my mother-in-law is also a reasonable person. I''m blessed. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are all sensible and open, but they save me a lot of trouble. "


    When I think about it, I feel that my cousin is really a bit lucky. Although she is not rich, she has a smooth journey along the way. I can''t help laughing and saying, "it seems that your life is better!"


    After hearing this, Xiuyun disagreed. "Speaking of good fortune, who among our relatives can compare with cousin you?"

 Chapter 334

    How about your own life? Maybe it is in the eyes of outsiders! However, in order to complete the so-called "good fortune", only she knows how much she has done behind her back. In the face of Xiuyun''s envy, she just laughs helplessly.


    Xiuyun couple went straight to their heart to find the goal, and soon picked a house five or six miles away from here. Because it is a little far away from Guozijian, the price is much cheaper. A ten room two bedroom house with a well, stables and some furniture is also in good order. There is no need to fight any more. It only costs more than 400 Liang in total.


    After buying a new house, Xiuyun is busy decorating it all day. Although the former owner cleaned up quite clean, it was so easy to buy the house back that he always had to paint the walls and paint them again. Leisurely has just built a big house. He has his own craftsmen who are familiar with it. He must introduce them to Xiuyun.


    Xiuyun''s house is cleaned up quickly, but it has been painted in 20 days. Because the cost of buying the house was much less than expected, Xiuyun was so cruel that she bought a new set of mahogany furniture for the living room, a catalpa shelf bed and a new wardrobe. Most of the rest of the furniture was left by the front owner, or the old furniture selected from the second-hand market. They are not so particular about small families.


    In fact, they have nothing to move. Their hometown is not close to each other, and the large pieces of furniture are not worth moving here. As a result, they only bought pots and pans, and picked a lucky day to bring things to them, even if they moved. On the day when they moved, leisurely also sent a lot of practical things in the past. All the relatives and friends gathered together to have a lively banquet, and the family even moved. After having a warm room banquet, Xiuyun and her two return home to pick up their eldest son, and bring some of the family''s delicacies by the way, even if they are officially settled in the capital.


    It happened that a gentleman in the leisurely elementary school wanted to prepare for this year''s Qiuwei exam and wanted to quit his job. Leisurely will this matter and show cloud said, then smile way "you go back to ask brother-in-law''s meaning, see if he is willing to take this job."


    Xiuyun had heard from his second cousin for a long time. The gentleman there, who was full of ten taels of silver a month, had lunch every day, and a certain amount of ink, ink, paper and inkstone was allocated to each gentleman every month. Such good conditions, show cloud nature is willing, busy should way "this has what unwilling, of course willing!"


    Leisurely smile way "you also don''t hurry to nod, brother-in-law is at least Mr. Ju Ren, your family is not without income, also don''t know whether he is willing to do such a thing."


    Xiuyun laughs, "cousin, don''t worry. My home is not sour. He told me about it. It''s just that we didn''t have any words when we first heard the second brother say that there was no shortage of teachers in our studies. Now, it''s natural that we don''t respect such an opportunity. "


    Hearing this, leisurely then said with a smile, "in that case, I''m relieved. My second cousin is in charge of all the affairs in the elementary school. Tomorrow, you can ask my brother-in-law to talk to my second cousin in detail. "


    Smell speech, show cloud hurriedly nod should descend. She estimated in her heart that although the amount of ten taels of silver per month was not large, it was enough for her family to spend on food and oil every month. Although the price in the capital is high, the price of embroidery is also good. She sells five Liang silver small plug-in screens in the countryside. Here she can sell eight or nine Liang. In this way, with her monthly income from embroidery, the money is enough for the daily expenses of the family, and the land rent in her hometown can be saved for a rainy day. In the future, there will be more places for sons to read and read, daughters to save dowries and so on!


    After returning home, Xiuyun told his husband about it. Feng Quan said with a smile, "I''ve been thinking about finding a place to make a living these two days. It''s not easy to live in the capital. I can''t just sit on my feet like this. Coincidentally, there is such a good job. Thanks to my cousin, we are poor relatives and willing to help us. "


    Xiuyun was angry at him and said, "don''t look whose cousin it is! You think everyone is like your uncle''s cousin, but if you marry a sesame official, your eyes will grow to the sky! My cousin, now so rich, never put on airs, but help us everywhere. Yao knows that although my cousin and I didn''t grow up together, we can''t complain about some things even if she didn''t do them, but she was always so careful and thoughtful, and wanted to be ahead of us everywhere. It''s always a blessing for me to have such a cousin Feng Quan followed suit and said, "I married you, so I''m lucky!"


    Leisurely don''t know show cloud couple to her evaluation, she this meeting son is reading a Court Palace newspaper. There was a message that caught her attention. The imperial court wanted to reopen the Guangning County forum, which had been closed because of the rebellion of Linjiang king and the invasion of Luocha state a few years ago. Now local officials are being asked to look at the situation.


    Shen Tian''s sea trade business has been cut off. Isn''t this just a new business opportunity?


    Although according to leisurely heart, she is not willing to be involved in the wave of seizing the right, but there are some things she can not but do. At this time, if she can''t do her best and wait for others to reach Qingyun in the future, how can she enjoy her glory? Even if you don''t think about yourself, you should always think about the children''s future.


    Thinking of this, leisurely did not do any hesitation, went straight to the palace to see Shen Tian, and explained his intention.


    After listening to her, Shen Tian was surprised. Shen Tian raised his eyebrows and asked, "is that what you mean or what my cousin means?" Leisurely said with a smile, "since it''s me, it''s my humble opinion. Even if the empress doesn''t look in the eye, it''s my intention to help her open up her mind. "


    Shen Tian picked up the newspaper and said with a smile, "you really sent it in time. Do you know about it? It seems that my mother''s family knows that they love me, so they will spare no effort to help me. "


    Leisurely quickly back to the way "Niang Niang don''t misunderstand, that matter is not Xianggong up, is I guess some, Xianggong afraid I go outside to ask again make what wave, just tell me."


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "you''re not an outsider, but you don''t want to hide it from me. I just think you don''t know these things and you don''t have to worry about them." This is what Shen Tian said from the bottom of her heart. Even leisurely''s mother''s brother was involved in the matter of Haimao, so she didn''t mean to hide it from leisurely.


    It''s just that today''s performance of leisurely really makes Shen Tian look at it with new eyes. In the past, she only thought leisurely was a little smart, but she never thought her vision was so broad. In the eyes of a leisurely lady, that is, the land in front of her eyes, except for her own house, is at most the human affairs in the social circle. This is the first time that she met a housewife who would read the palace newspaper besides herself!

 Chapter 335

    Shen Tian personally filled leisurely tea cup with tea. "Your idea coincided with mine. To tell you the truth, I had this idea when I received several boxes of top-grade leather materials from my cousin last winter. However, at that time, the business of maritime trade was still stable. I had limited energy, and I couldn''t allocate manpower for a while and a half, so I put it aside. I had already taken people to Guangning County to check the local goods before the official newspaper came out. Although it''s cold and remote over there, the red ginseng and fur produced there are all excellent things. "


    Look, no wonder people''s ambition is so broad. They had a plan in mind. It''s just that you have to have ideas and foresight to be a man of two generations. After listening to Shen Tian''s words, she didn''t feel depressed. She just said with a smile, "of course, I can''t figure out the foresight of Niang Niang, but apart from the local products in Guangning County, she didn''t think about other things?"


    This time Shen Tian was interested in "Oh, what are you talking about?"


    Leisurely said "land! After several battles and years of neglect, the original forum is not prosperous. And such a border, land prices must be very cheap. However, if the news of the reopening of the court is spread, the land price will rise several times. Why don''t you take advantage of this opportunity to buy a piece of land nearby? When the time is ripe, you can get several times more benefits by changing hands. "


    Shen Tian''s eyebrows moved. "It''s also a way. It''s just a one-off business. The profit is always limited."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s easy to make long-term profits. The empress will leave a piece of land and build a shop. When the time comes, she will rent out and the profits will last for a long time? If you want to earn more, you may as well let people build some high-end restaurants and inns there. As soon as the market over there opens, not only in the capital, but also in the south, some big merchants specializing in sea trade will go there to buy red ginseng, mink and other things. What these businessmen lack most is silver. They are hard-working businessmen. When they come to the market and see such a prosperous place, how can they not be moved? "


    Shen Tian thought for a while, then sighed, "it''s quite easy for you to say, but such a place always needs backstage support. But as you can see from the current situation, I can''t do that. I managed to get some profit from the sea trade, but now I have been robbed. It''s just that the weak one is my Lord. I can only knock down my teeth and swallow blood. I can''t even complain. Otherwise, let people know that I secretly handle such a big business, I''m afraid Princess Liang is going to be the leader! "


    This is the reason why Shen Tian lost such a big business. If this matter is really exposed, I''m afraid the first one who can''t spare her is Liang Wang. As a princess, you can earn some money by doing silk, glass and other businesses. But if you put your hand in the sea trade, it''s a bit unreasonable. After all, a prince and concubine can''t be short of money so much! Therefore, leisurely words, although Shen Tian is a little excited, are full of scruples.


    Leisurely is very clear about Shen Tian''s concerns. In fact, she is also a little nervous. But her face was still calm. She said with a light smile, "I can naturally understand your mother''s concerns. It''s said that the business of Haimao was cut off by the Lord because of internal strife at home and some news. If yu''s family makes such a big mistake, she doesn''t plan to deal with it? "


    Hearing this, Shen tianku shook his head and said, "it''s just that they didn''t mean to do it. This time, although we lost the business of Haimao, yujiaerfang finally separated and became an independent portal. In this way, it will be cheaper for them to do something later. "


    Leisurely and gently sighed, "it''s really sad to let such a big family fall apart because of the tiny interests of the idea. Why doesn''t the empress indicate that Yu''s second room is courting Chang Fang? "


    Shen Tian eyebrows micro lock, determined to look at her, "what do you have in the end idea?"


    Leisurely smile way "dare not deceive Niang, the day before yesterday three and Zhai that matter, although the Feng family did not get the benefit.". But when I think about it, I always feel a little uneasy. Besides, the princess who was also involved in the incident was frightened. At the beginning, Mr. Feng treated me like he looked up to me. If I didn''t do something, wouldn''t I have failed others? I have inquired that the old lady and granny Dafang of the Yu family are both from the sun family of the Huangshang in Jinling. But a concubine''s concubine Feng''s younger sister also married to the sun family, so now the sun family secretly works for the sixth Prince and concubine Feng. " Shen Tian nodded, "yes, you are well informed. What on earth are you going to say in such a circle? "


    Leisurely way "discuss the matter of the field, the empress can''t come forward naturally, as to let others fight.". For example, it is extremely easy for Empress Feng and the sixth prince to promote this idea with the power of the sixth prince in the court as long as they know the profit prospects of the debate. There are not many people the sixth prince can trust. Naturally, the sun family is his first choice, while the Yu family and the sun family are the sons and daughters of several generations, and their interests have been torn apart for a long time. As long as the sun''s family moves, Yu''s family will be able to put a hand in it. As for how much territory can be occupied from inside, it depends on the scheming of the second master of Yu''s family! "


    Shen Tian asked again, "it''s a good plan. In this way, even if someone in the court opposes the reopening of the debate, the sixth prince will be the first to refuse. Now that Feng Fei is pregnant again, the emperor won''t argue with the sixth prince in such a small matter even if she looks at her face. As long as the emperor agrees to it, it will be done. You think very well, but even if everything is as you expected, you have to invest a lot of money in it? "


    Leisurely toward Shen Tian a smile, "this silver which use labor Niang you?"? This time, it''s the second master of Yu''s family who is not good at his work. It''s your magnanimity not to care with him. If he doesn''t dare to take this silver, what will he take to win your trust? "


    Hearing this, Shen Tian can''t help but smile. "After talking about it together for a long time, what you gave me was the idea of" using the white wolf with empty hands ". No matter how it is done, I won''t lose half of it." Then he hesitated, "but once it''s done, won''t the sixth prince make money every day?"


    Leisurely smile "I heard that in the northeast border area, the people are fierce, and there are often bandits, even the officers and soldiers are not rivals. I don''t know if these bandits will happen to the fortunes of the Yisun family? "


    Smart people talk, some words naturally do not have to say too thoroughly. Leisurely point to here, Shen Tian already understood her meaning. Her subordinates also need to be tempered. This time, even the grindstone is complete.


    Thinking of this, Shen Tian couldn''t help laughing, "I really underestimated you in the past!"

 Chapter 336

    In fact, it''s not to underestimate that the idea of buying land to build a restaurant is a complete copy of the practice of some people in previous lives. On the other hand, if you read more novels, you can always learn something.


    She said with a smile, "you don''t think I''m stupid. It took me a long time to think about this idea. If it''s a change of mother, there''s only one more comprehensive and appropriate. "


    Shen Tian zhengse said, "you don''t have to belittle yourself. You are much better than most men in this world. In the past, my eyes were clumsy. I didn''t need to put such a girl around me to be angry with those smelly men. In the future, there will be an object for discussion. "


    Leisurely leaned back and said, "the empress is sent, but my wife will die!"


    She came out of the palace of King Liang and sat on the carriage leisurely. Her thoughts floated along with the shaking carriage. She was not sure whether this step was right or not. It was a dangerous way to seize the legitimate rights. Now they are both deeply involved in it. If the matter is revealed, the whole family will be doomed. But then again, even if she didn''t intervene, the family couldn''t hold off.


    Shen Ze, after all, is related to Shen Tian, not her. It''s not that she doesn''t trust Shen Ze, it''s just that the world is like this, so she has to leave a way for herself and her children. It is needless to say which one is more important than the other.


    After returning home, leisurely to see the northeast corner of the door that people come and go is not lively, can not help but ask "but the Xu family back?"


    The woman with the car went to ask the doorman, and soon came back and said, "exactly. The Xu family has just entered, and the salute hasn''t finished yet."


    Leisurely nod, see that there is a mess of appearance, there is no past, straight back to his room. Just put on the home clothes, Ann''s face came over.


    Leisurely said with a smile, "I''m going to change my clothes and go to have a look, but it happens that you''re here. Well, why didn''t you see my aunt and cousin coming? "


    An said with a smile, "my mother is a little tired because of the heavy traffic. When she comes back, she lies down on the bed. Silver lotus is looking at the servant girls to install the utensils. When I hear that you are back, I will come to say hello first. "


    The maid picked up the tea cup, sipped the tea and said with a smile, "now sister Lian is also promising. She can look at it well, and you can relax."


    "Isn''t that right? I didn''t expect my sister-in-law to come out so well again. I''m not afraid of sister-in-law''s jokes. I just got married. Seeing such a mother-in-law and sister-in-law, I really have the heart to leave. If my husband hadn''t always been considerate and fair, I would not have been able to survive. Now, my sister-in-law looks like a girl in a boudoir. At least she can understand right and wrong. We can rest assured that she will marry later. "


    Leisurely echoed, "it''s exactly this principle. I think the child is smart, but no one has led her to the right road before. In the future, with your sister-in-law, she will be more and more outstanding. I remember that she is not too young. Is there any plan for her marriage? "


    Wen Yan an replied, "I didn''t tell her before. I don''t know where our uncle can go. Now he''s in the Imperial Academy, and he won''t move. We just want to find her a mother-in-law''s family near the capital. Our family is not a big family, and we don''t want to take a girl for a ride. So it doesn''t have to be a big family. It''s enough as long as the family is honest and the children are motivated. "


    This an Shi pour is a mind thorough, just don''t know Bai Shi to be willing to? Looking at this matter, leisurely heart abdominal Fei, face is said with a smile, "you have such a reasonable sister-in-law to help choose a son-in-law, lotus sister-in-law''s future can not be wrong."


    "My cousin used to make fun of me! In vain, I specially brought a gift to my sister-in-law! " Leisurely rebuffed, "you are busy when you go back to your hometown to offer sacrifices to your ancestors. Why should you be so polite?"


    "These days, thanks to my cousin and sister-in-law, I don''t have any good things. Just this time I went back to clean up the warehouse of my ancestral home. I saw a pair of Longquan celadon with gold and Ruyi cups. They were exquisite and small. I thought my sister-in-law might like them, so I brought them here. "


    Then she took an inch long brocade box from the maid''s hand and opened it. Looking up leisurely, she saw that the brocade box was padded with crow blue satin. A pair of small green tea cups quietly lie inside, leisurely picked up one, and put it in the light to see for a while. Then he praised "it''s really warm and moist like jade. Now even the official kiln can''t produce such pure cyan. Such a good color should be the old thing of the previous dynasty. Such a pair of small tea cups can be changed into a set of Hongbao''s head. I''m ashamed of it! "


    "Sister-in-law and I politeness is to take me as an outsider! It''s not that you don''t know. There''s no one in my family who cares about this. This thing is also white in our house. It''s a pity to put it in the corner. It''s rare for my sister-in-law to like it. So my sister-in-law just takes it. "


    Leisurely really likes this pair of tea cups, and he decides to return the gift when the other party moves. Then he said with a smile, "in that case, I''ll take it."


    "It''s time to take it," he said. There are also some local objects outside. My sister-in-law, please keep them as a gift


    Leisurely back to the way, "then I will not be polite to you, Chuang Tzu today just brought fresh bass and lotus root, evening I''m ready to meet you."


    Ann stood up and said, "then we''ll bother. My sister-in-law just came back from the outside and should have a rest. I''ll go back to see how things are arranged."


    Seeing off an Shi, he rubbed his brow leisurely and called the servant girl to arrange the dinner. Then she picked up the pair of tea cups and put them in her hands one by one. She also had a pair of Longquan celadon tea cans, which just matched the pair of cups.


    Today, I''ve been tossing about for a long time. Leisurely, I''m really tired. I fell asleep on the concubine''s couch. Seeing this, Liu Ye gently took the small Kang Table to one side, helped her to fall on the couch, and took a small thin quilt to help her cover it.


    After settling her down, Liu Ye took a small Wu and put it at the door to do needlework. A leaf just embroidered a beginning, saw Su He to come over. Willow leaves quickly "shush" let her silence.


    Su he saw that the original gentle movement was more gentle. She walked slowly to LiuYe and asked in a low voice, "how long has grandma been sleeping?"

 Chapter 337

    Willow leaf is also a low voice back way "just fell asleep for a while, looks like tired, leaning on the couch so fell asleep."


    Su He nodded, didn''t he? I went to the palace early in the morning. I''m tired from bumping back and forth. " Then he looked at the embroidery work in LiuYe''s hand and asked with a smile, "who are you embroidering for? It''s rare for you to do such exquisite embroidery. "


    Liu Ye replied, "the ninth day of next month is my aunt''s birthday. I gave her a pair of gold earrings. I thought I had to make my own kind of needle and thread to show my sincerity, so I was ready to make a purse." The pattern of the purse is a common peony pattern. Now it has been embroidered for most of the time, and the whole pattern is quite formal.


    Su he''s needlework is one of the best among them. Seeing the embroidering work of willow leaves, she really finds it hard to praise it. She just smiles and asks, "since it''s longevity, why don''t you embroider a pattern like gourd and crane? How should it be?"


    Liu Yebai glanced at her and said, "I''m very good at embroidering peonies. It''s a waste of cloth and effort to embroider cranes. Let''s forget it." Speaking, a leaf has been embroidered most of the time.


    Su he couldn''t help but hide his mouth and said with a smile, "you embroidery worker, you are so careless, but you can''t match the speed."


    Willow leaves head a Yang "that can''t, always have to have the same hand, or how to find..." said finally suddenly found that he said slip, quickly stopped. But Su he had already heard it, and now he joked, "how can I find my mother-in-law? Is that right? "


    Smell speech, willow leaves ignore embroider live, quickly hand over her mouth "blind shout what? Keep your voice down. Don''t wake grandma up


    Su he quickly stretched out his head and looked inside. He was relieved to see that leisurely didn''t wake up. He sat on the threshold beside LiuYe with a smile and asked in a low voice, "didn''t your aunt tell you about a family in the north of the city last time? Why not? You haven''t said that we have no good intention to ask. I heard that I was a scholar with high reputation. Why didn''t I believe it in the end? "


    Liu Ye sighed while doing his work, "we are such identities. People outside speak well. How many of us can look up to us from the bottom of our heart? Especially those scholars, although they have learned a lot from Confucius and Mencius, they are mean and ungrateful, but few are really kind. As for the boy in the north of the city, thanks to the help of his grandmother. I don''t know where that family heard about the rich dowry of our servant girls in our house. It was only for the sake of scheming for my dowry that they asked my aunt to marry her several times. I don''t want to marry such a family, let alone a child, even a scholar. "


    Su he sighed: "our marriage, whether married or hired, always has such and such dissatisfaction. It''s really sad to think about it." Liu Ye pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "there''s nothing to worry about. Take your time. If there''s really no one you like, I''ll learn from sister Huaping and become an aunt myself. Can our grandmother treat me badly? "


    They were whispering there when they heard the sound of footwork coming from the gate of the yard. Looking up, Yu Lian comes with Tao Liang. They stood up to say hello.


    Seeing their appearance, Yulian asked with a smile, "Why are you all outside? But my cousin hasn''t got up yet? "


    LiuYe whispered back, "yes, grandma went to the palace today, and talked with grandma Xu for a long time. Maybe she was tired and didn''t wake up even after sleeping."


    Leisurely in fact has been awake for a while, just feel tired of ruthless, do not want to get up. This time, hearing the voice outside, he sat up and cried, "is it my cousin? Please come in


    The willow leaves outside heard the movement and said with a smile, "grandma wakes up. Let''s go in." So Yulian took her daughter''s hand and went in.


    Tao Liang went into the room and came to the couch. He held the paper package in his hand and said in a high voice, "aunt, I''ve brought you your favorite baiweizhai snack. Eat it while it''s hot!" Leisurely hand pinching her small nose "or taoliang the most obedient, when can''t forget me, first put on the table, I wash face to eat." Taoliang nodded. Seeing leisurely and washing, he thought it was boring to stay here. So he left a sentence: "I''ll go to the back and level my brother." With that, he ran away like a gust of wind.


    Jade lotus in the back straight shout "you slow down, careful don''t fall." Seeing her daughter''s absence, she turned around and sat down on the couch beside her. She looked at the servant girl with a smile and looked at her leisurely grooming. After washing the face, leisurely put on the face of their own system of facial grease, thinking about the evening also to entertain the Xu family, then applied a thin layer of powder, put on a little rouge.


    Seeing this, Yulian said with a smile, "the facial fat you made is really good. I''ve been using it with you for the past two years, and my face is much more delicate. That time, my second aunt also joked that I was more watery than before


    Leisurely clean up the sharp, back to the couch to sit down, carefully looked at the face of the jade lotus, and then said with a smile, "my mother is telling the truth, you see you now white in the red skin, not much better than just came to Beijing? But it''s not just the facial fat. Now you can make a prescription. The maintenance of your diet is also very important. "


    Yulian said with a smile, "did you ever think that one day I would live like this? Today''s daily life is also wearing gold and silver, not to mention those bird''s nest, snow clam, ginseng and other supplements have not lacked anything. You don''t have to be exposed to the wind and the sun, and there are carriages to pick you up when you go in and out


    Leisurely way "Ju Yang Qi Yi Yang Ti, is that what I mean?"


    Yulian nodded and said, "you''re right, but you can''t do without this facial fat. I see now even the princess doesn''t use the rouge powder in her own house, only those you sent. When I went to ask for pulse for my aunts and grandmothers in the palace today, they still wanted to know the formula of this powder. I don''t know. I have to put off my words. It seems that I''m not happy to see my aunt and grandmother! " It turns out that today, Yulian is entrusted by Fang Xinsu to give a diagnosis to the concubine who has just given birth to a child.


    Leisurely comfort way "it''s OK, she can''t take you how.". Even the princess didn''t ask me about my prescription by her identity, but she showed great face! What''s more, it''s not her who gives you the fee. You don''t have to worry about it. I''ll see, this aunt''s dignity in the princess may not surpass you! "


    Just then, she suddenly remembered something and said, "the princess said that she had some pain in her lower abdomen during menstruation in the past two months, and she didn''t want to see the doctor. If you don''t have anything else to do tomorrow, you''ll go to check the pulse of your mother. She said that the last time you ate the medicated food you prescribed, it still worked. "


    The jade lotus busy way "since is the empress body unwell, that I even have the other thing to also want to push first.". Get up early tomorrow and go there. "

 Chapter 338

    He nodded leisurely and said, "well, I''ll have someone arrange a carriage for you later. When you get to the palace, you''d better go to Qinghe first. She will arrange for you. I''ll arrange someone to send her to school, so you can rest assured. "


    Yulian said with a smile, "I don''t worry about giving it to you. By the way, it''s said that the Xu family, Ao, is Xu Hanlin. They''ve all come back?"


    It happened that the Liubao tea leisurely wanted to drink had been cooked and brought up. Leisurely signaled LiuYe to put the teapot on the Kang Table, poured the tea and said, "exactly. I came back at noon today. I said that I would give them a banquet to wash the dust in the evening. Would you like to come with taoliang?"


    The jade lotus answered.


    At this time, leisurely remembered that there were still snacks on the table. He reached for a piece of crystal cake, bit it gently, and said with a smile, "it''s taoliang who is careful. Kangtai often walks down the street, and he doesn''t remember to bring me some cakes."


    The jade lotus returns a way "boy, unavoidably careless some.". Taoliang is a girl. I always look at her and think that she has a big idea. If she''s a boy, it''s all right. Sooner or later, she has to support the family. It''s good to have a big idea. How can a girl''s family be so strong in the future? "


    Leisurely he swallowed the snack in his mouth, drank a mouthful of tea, and then slowly said, "why can''t a girl have a big idea? I look at Tao Liang''s temperament is very good, very able to distinguish between good and bad, so as to grow up not to suffer. You are just too worried At this meeting, she really felt a little hungry, then picked up a piece of Begonia crisp to eat, and urged Yulian to say, "your daughter bought it, don''t you try it? It will be cold later, but it won''t taste good. "


    Looking at the sweet look of leisurely eating, Yulian also picked up a piece of crystal cake and bit it. "Don''t talk about me. You only have two sons now. You are married. Naturally, you can''t understand the dilemma in my heart. As parents and relatives, we naturally feel that everything is good when we look at our children, but this is not the case in the eyes of outsiders. Take you as an example. Will you tell the two brothers that they will have such a disposition to marry taoliang? "


    Smell speech leisurely a choke, at least the mouth of dim sum difficult swallow down. What she said made her speechless, because she thought of Shen Tian in an instant. As a mother''s family, leisurely is on her side to say good things for her. However, if Liang Wang''s biological mother knew that her daughter-in-law was planning how to cultivate her own power all day long, and even had the intention to strangle her son every minute, would she come out of the grave angrily?


    Think of oneself again, leisurely feel oneself also can''t stand such daughter-in-law! She was speechless for a long time, so she had to comfort her cousin, "the child is still young now. How many unruly children are there? When you grow up and become sensible, you will naturally become soft. "


    The jade lotus heavily sighed a mouth, the air way "hope so!" Then he said with a smile, "forget it, don''t say these words. I heard that you were going to buy a shop again that day? "


    He nodded leisurely. "Yes, when Mrs. Zhu came to talk that day, she mentioned that there was a rich businessman in the east city who wanted to move his family to the south. He had some good shops in his hands. It happened that I had some spare money on hand, so I wanted to buy two more rooms to put there. What''s the matter? You want to buy it, too? "


    Yulian nodded and said, "yes, I made a dish that day and saved thousands of taels of silver this year. There are only two of us. It''s not cheap to buy a house or land. It''s better to buy another shop and be flexible. "


    Now, although there are fewer people who ask Yulian to see a doctor, she is not familiar with the doctor any more. But often invited her several families are high-ranking lady, hand has always been generous. As a result, Yulian''s customers are less and her life is easier, but she does not receive less money. Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s easy to say. I said to Mrs. Zhu that she would come the day after tomorrow. Then you can listen to her and buy one if you have the right one. "


    In the evening, the Shen family set up two banquets in the flower hall to help the new Xu Hanlin family. The two seats were divided into men and women, surrounded by a big screen. Xu felt that his son had won the Jinshi examination, and that his identity was different. When it comes to the evening banquet, Bai''s performance is remarkable. She is now very proud, not as chattering as before, but a deep look, sitting there for a long time without saying a word, looking really like an official wife.


    Seeing this scene, he joked, "I haven''t seen my aunt for a few days, but you are getting more and more powerful! Look, it''s such a babe Although the fate of the Xu family members has not yet come down, most of them have already called the Bai family like this.


    After listening to leisurely "appreciation", Bai couldn''t help laughing and said, "my nephew and daughter-in-law can talk, can''t they? Now my eldest brother is a Jinshi and an official. If I don''t show some style, won''t I be looked down upon? Nephew daughter-in-law, don''t you think so? "


    Leisurely forbearance smile way "yes, the table aunt said very is."


    Seeing that his mother-in-law''s words were getting more and more outrageous, an quickly changed the topic. "It''s only a few days since I saw her. Kangping has changed a lot. It''s a big piece! I held it just now, but it didn''t move. It doesn''t look fat. I didn''t expect that the weight is really heavy. "


    Leisurely back to the way, "his flesh is strong, don''t say you, I have some hold."


    Bai Shi looks at Bai Bai''s chubby and lovely Xiaokang Ping. She is also envious. She also wants to have a grandson, youmuyou! Thinking of this, Bai said to an, "don''t just know how to hold someone else''s son. Now that Dalang has finished the Chunwei exam, you should also give birth to a fat grandson for our old Xu family! Don''t be a non laying one any more... "Before she finished, she was stopped by her daughter yinlian.


    Yinlian brought a cup of tea to her mouth, "Niang, are you thirsty? Come on, drink some tea to moisten your throat. " And then constantly to her food soup, in short, do not let her mouth have leisure. After walking on the road for so many days, I haven''t had a good meal. Leisurely family''s dishes are full of color, fragrance and so on. Bai''s attention was quickly transferred.


    She was happy to let off steam, but it made others feel bad. Rao is used to seeing Bai''s frequent delirium, and ANN is almost angry with this! How did she get such a mother-in-law? Even if you think so, can''t you go back to your yard? In such a public, say such words, let that don''t know how to think of her?


    Seeing this, leisurely and Yulian look at each other and sigh for an in their hearts. Yulian herself suffered from the evil mother-in-law, so she felt more sympathy for her. She patted her hand and said in a soft voice, "it''s just some bastard words, so you don''t hear it. Don''t take it to heart. It''s not worth being angry with yourself! "

 Chapter 339

    An took two deep breaths, barely suppressed his anger, embarrassed way "let sister-in-law and sister Lin see the joke." The jade lotus comforts a way "what does this have? How many good mothers-in-law are there in this world? I see your old lady is such a temperament, straightforward, always better than those who harbors evil intentions.


    An Shi helpless wry smile "also can think like this." As for how Ann complained with her husband and tried to control her mother-in-law after she went back, that''s what other people do.


    Leisurely didn''t pay much attention to it. After the banquet, the four members of the family played together for a while, and the nurse took them down to settle down.


    Shen Ze had a little wine tonight, and he was already in bed just now. Leisurely walked to the bed and sat down, reached out and patted him on the back, Shen Ze knowingly turned over and lay on the bed, leisurely and skillfully pressed his back. Shen Ze is a man of great self-discipline. He practices with his soldiers every day, so leisurely learned a set of massage techniques. He often helps him to massage, so that he can relax.


    After pondering for a long time, Shen Ze said what he was going to talk about with Shen Tian today. Sooner or later, Shen Ze will know about it. Instead of letting him know it from others, he should take the initiative to say it. Shen Ze was not surprised by leisurely''s words. He always knew his daughter-in-law''s intelligence. Look at that brother-in-law. He''s not very old, but he has a good heart. Even when he fights with the old fox in the court, he has never been inferior. It''s just that Sanhe Zhai made him feel a little depressed.


    Seeing that his husband had not spoken for a long time, leisurely felt a little uneasy and asked carefully, "what''s the matter? Are you angry? "


    Shen Ze shook his head with a smile, turned over and sat up, took her hand and said, "no, my daughter-in-law is so smart and capable. How can I get angry with her? I''m just thinking that I''m not tall enough, otherwise I won''t let you suffer such humiliation. But after the event, I have no good way to help you vent your anger, and you have to work hard to plan. I just feel sorry for you. Last night, I tossed about for most of the night, just thinking about this? "


    Leisurely exclaimed, "how do you know that I didn''t sleep well last night? I watched you sleep soundly. I didn''t expect that I still disturbed you."


    Shen Ze chuckled, "what''s the point? I wanted to talk to you, but it seems that you want to be quiet and silent. " After that, she reached out to touch her long hair and said in a soft voice, "don''t worry about these things in the future. I am responsible for everything. You just keep flowers and grass at home happily. At most, you can look at the account book and leave all the other things to me. Did you hear that? " Leisurely and meekly nodded and nestled in his arms.


    Shen Tian is a decisive man. Once he makes up his mind, he will carry it out immediately. She thought about it for two days, and felt more and more that leisurely plan was feasible. So people secretly contacted Yu Hexiang, who was in the second room of the family, and ordered him to go on like this.


    Rao is an old man like Yu Hexiang. When he hears Shen Tian''s plan, he can''t help but give a thumbs up in his heart. He really deserves to be his favorite master. This strategy is absolutely amazing! This incident also reinforces Yu Hexiang''s loyalty to Shen Tian, which makes him feel very lucky to remember it in the later half of his life.


    So, in a few days, Yu''s elder brother, greater than he Qing, looked at the old man who had threatened to die of old age, and he was attentive to himself. He can''t help but secretly proud, let you be brave, look, can''t you leave home?


    Yu Heqing is thinking about how hard it is for his second brother, but after all, there is still a mother at home to look at, which is just to give Yu Hexiang a few cold faces. He used to be the second in charge of the sea trade business in his family. Although he has taken over all the business now, he is not as familiar as the second in the end, and he has to be bothered in the future. So the brothers made up.


    Before long, Emperor Longde gave down his will and ordered the Guangning Prefecture magistrate to set up a new market near beimenguan and resume the trade with Luocha, Koryo and other countries.


    The sixth Prince listened to the advice of his subordinates and naturally wished he could make a fortune here. As a prince, although now often have some filial piety, but ultimately because of the age is small, no big climate. Now seeing the money coming, the sixth Prince is more anxious than anyone else. It was Princess Feng who was also blamed by Emperor Longde for her brother''s affairs last time. If she had not been lucky enough to be pregnant with a dragon fetus, she would not know what the situation was now! Especially since her mother''s parents separated from Ding''an Bofu, they gave her less and less money. In such a powerful place in the palace, it is really difficult to move without silver, so she is eager to find new sources of wealth. At first, concubine Feng was afraid that her son would be involved in these things. But the sixth prince said with a smile, "the concubine just put her heart in her stomach. The Huang family said it, but I don''t have to pay for it. His family is to shock those monsters in my name and give me four shares in vain. What''s wrong with that? "


    This has always been the case with most of the merchants. Now several famous merchants in the court are backed up. Feng Fei knew this, and thought that now their mother and son are still in favor, and there are also some people who flatter them. What''s more, Huang''s family is a relative''s family. In the past, they were filial to them. They should have been filial to them for a long time. But he still said, "well, it''s OK, but you must let people look after them. You''d rather make less money than do the business that the imperial court won''t let you do. You are a prince. As long as you can make the emperor like you, there will be filial piety from others. Don''t make your father unhappy because of his petty gain. It''s not worth the loss. "


    The sixth Prince nodded and said, "don''t worry, my son knows. My son has learned a lesson from my uncle last time. The world is still the world of my father. Unless one day, the son can inherit the throne, otherwise, the son can only keep a low profile and be respectful and modest. "


    After listening to her son''s words, Princess Feng was very calm and said with a smile, "if you think like this, you can see that you have grown up and your uncle has suffered from this. It''s just, you don''t have to be too careful. How old are you now? No matter how respectful it is, it''s not as steady as your fifth brother. It''s better to take out your spirit. I often go to your father''s place to eat and talk with him. You are the emperor''s own son, and he is always kind to his children. It doesn''t matter if you have some mistakes occasionally. As long as you don''t have any mistakes in the main right and wrong, your father won''t be angry. "


    Hearing this, the sixth prince asked, "in this way, won''t the father feel that his son''s ministers are not stable?"


    Feng Fei laughs, "you are a child, some childishness should be. It''s more pretentious to insist on learning from other people''s aging appearance. Remember, don''t overdo everything. Overdoing it will make you fake. " When Feng Fei said this, she could not help but feel bad in her heart. Liang Wang and his wife really deserve to be husband and wife. One can pretend better than the other. One pretends to be a courteous corporal, the other pretends to be virtuous and magnanimous. I still don''t know what color it is?!


    After listening to her mother''s words, the sixth prince thought deeply and left.


    Feng Fei''s words to the sixth Prince were soon conveyed to leisurely''s ears by Fang Xinsu. Leisurely said, "I didn''t expect that Feng Fei''s mother was very intelligent, but how did she look like that before..."


    Fang Xinsu said faintly, "do you want to ask her how to behave so stupid before?"

 Chapter 340

    He nodded leisurely. She used to look at Feng Fei. Although she was a little smart, she didn''t look like a person with great wisdom. This time, she looked a little different.


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "the truth is very simple. If you want to seek something different, your mind will be different. Originally, they were not stupid people. Now, when mother and son want more imperial favor, they will be exhausted. "


    Leisurely thought in his heart, in fact, Princess Feng and the sixth prince are more and more frustrated and more brave. If they follow the current situation, mother and son may really be able to pry the status of King Liang. But Liang Wang also has the biggest God assist - Shen Tian!


    Shen Tian''s scheming is not to watch mother and son grow up step by step, so she should have something to deal with. There is even a queen Meng behind. Leisurely doesn''t know what kind of deal she and Shen Tian have reached, but in recent years, leisurely can still find a tacit understanding between them.


    At this time, Fang Xinsu suddenly shook his head and said with a smile, "OK, let''s not talk about these unrelated people. Seeing that the anniversary of the prince is about to pass, the capital will be lively again after the national filial piety. Brother Jane is really old this year. You must help to pay attention to the right girl. "


    Leisurely but helpless shake head way "this matter can not handle!"


    Fang Xinsu picked Liu Mei and looked askance at her. "Why is it so hard to do?" Leisurely and seriously back to the way, "you two brothers and sisters are more picky than each other. Brother Jane doesn''t have to say that she always has eyes higher than the top, and there is girl Kong Zhuyu in front. Which girl can enter his eyes?" He said, looking up and down at fangxinsu: "you, not to mention, you said it last time. I still remember the conditions you mentioned! They should have a good family background, good conduct and good appearance; Be generous, but not rigid; We should be proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but we can''t have the nobility of talented women; If you want to go back to the housekeeper, you can''t be too calculating; Be gentle and virtuous, but not too cowardly; If you want to be smart, you can''t jump off too much... Even the Royal concubine selection doesn''t have such conditions as you. Where can I find it for you? " When it comes to the end, I can''t help laughing.


    Smell speech, Fang Xinsu choked for a while, light spat way "go, don''t make fun of me, when did I say such words?"? You''ll make fun of me


    Leisurely said with a smile, "my good princess, I''m not really joking. I''m just summarizing the conditions you said before."


    Fang Xinsu patted her arm with a fan. "OK, don''t tease me any more! I don''t care what people tell you. You have to help me. Brother Jane has called your sister. Can you bear not to help him


    Leisurely, he said, "well, I''m just joking! Our young master Fang is so excellent. He is also the head of the Fang family. His wife will be the patriarchal wife of the Fang family in the future. It''s really not up to ordinary ladies. It''s a good choice for a wife. "


    Fang Xinsu also agreed, "isn''t it? To tell you the truth, I''ve been paying close attention to many other girls in the past two years. It can be said that I''ve paid close attention to most of the gaomen girls in Beijing, but I''ve never met them. Even if there are a few who look good occasionally, they are still a little worse than their younger siblings. It''s a pity to think about it. If my sister-in-law is still there, maybe brother Jane will be surrounded by children now. " Although Fang Xinjian only married Kong Jiaying, her name was also included in the genealogy, so Fang Xinsu called her sister-in-law when she mentioned her.


    Leisurely sighed, "isn''t it? It''s even more difficult to choose a girl with a hole in front of Zhu Yu. Don''t worry. We''ll see each other when we''re out of filial piety. Maybe we''ll have a surprise! "


    Fang Xinsu nodded, "that''s all I have to do."


    After coming out of the prince''s residence, he remembered that he had not been to Liuli shop for a long time, so he ordered him to go there first. To the boundary, leisurely under the carriage, subconsciously first took a look at their own facade, see is still clean and tidy appearance, heart satisfaction three points. At this time, she found that a pawnshop had opened next to her shop. When the manager of the shop saw the leisurely carriage, he rushed out and saw his master''s eyes looking at the shop next door. At the moment, without the owner''s inquiry, he said with a smile, "my wife hasn''t come these days, so I don''t know. We just opened a pawnshop next door last month. Because it''s a new store, the price is more reasonable than other places, so the business is pretty good." Then he whispered back, "I heard that the boss behind is his royal highness King Zhou."


    Leisurely nod, it seems that these princes all try their best to draw money into their pockets! She was about to take back her eyes when she saw a familiar figure coming out of the pawnshop door! Isn''t this lady Chen? How did she come to the pawnshop?


    Leisurely sharp eyed found that Chen Niangzi than the last time to meet a lot of haggard, the body''s clothes are no longer satin, seems to be more down-to-earth than when I first saw some! What happened?


    Chen Niangzi has already gone out for more than ten meters. She quickly points to a little servant girl to stop her.


    Chen sold some things and was going to the pharmacy to buy some herbs. Suddenly he heard someone call his name. He turned around and saw that he was a little servant girl. The little servant girl said, "Lady Chen, right? Our lady asked you to come and talk Chen looked along the direction of the little maid''s fingers. In front of the shop adjacent to the pawnshop, there was a lady with refined temperament. Who was she?


    Because he was an acquaintance and also his Savior, Chen hesitated for a moment and came to chaoleisurely. To the front, Chen said with a smile, "excuse me, I didn''t see my wife standing here just now. It''s really impolite." There was a salute between the words.


    Leisurely quickly held her body and did not let her continue to salute. "It''s very polite of you. You should go forward without paying attention to the back. I see you are in a hurry. It seems that you have something to do. You don''t want me to disturb your schedule. "


    Chen Niangzi said with a bitter smile, "people who are familiar with each other now stay away from our family. It''s a great kindness for my wife to condescend and talk to me." But I was thinking, if leisurely knew about her brother, would she be so smiling?


    On hearing this, leisurely knew that the other party should have had an accident, so he said, "our two families have a long history. It happens that this shop is my property. If you don''t abandon it, how about going to talk about it in detail?"

 Chapter 341

    Chen Niangzi bit her lip. In fact, she was in a hurry to buy some medicinal materials and go back to decoct them for her brother. But the younger brother took the medicine for so long and didn''t get better. I think this prescription doesn''t work. But now everyone is avoiding their family like snakes and scorpions, even the doctor is not willing to come. As soon as Mrs. Shen is kind-hearted, why don''t she ask for a try?


    The big deal is to be rejected. What can it be? These days, before and after the courteous villain face, she saw less?


    The servant girl offered tea. Chen was thirsty after running for a long time, even his lips were dry and peeling. She picked up the cup and poured a cup of tea. Then she put down the cup and told the story one by one.


    It turns out that Chen Jiang was the one who was kicked by the sixth prince in front of Qianyuan hall. Although Chen Jiang was not at fault that day, people with clear eyes could see that he had offended the sixth prince. If the sixth Prince loses his power, it''s all right. But empress Feng is diagnosed as pregnant again. As a result, Chen Jiang, who has offended the sixth prince, is in a bad situation? Originally, how many grades did he jump in the past two years has already hindered many people''s eyes. This time, why don''t you step on his feet?


    So his job was stopped for no reason. The sixth Prince''s kick just hurt his heart. That afternoon, he had a high fever. A eunuch in Qianyuan palace didn''t find anyone to treat him. He ordered him to be carried out of the palace and let him live and die. The two eunuchs, who were good friends on weekdays, secretly sent him back to the house outside the palace and gave him to Chen Niangzi.


    When Chen Niangzi saw her dying brother, she didn''t take a breath at all, but she heard that the sixth prince had kicked him. She didn''t dare to say a word of complaint. I had to ask the servants of my family to ask for a doctor. Unexpectedly, the servants even went to several drug stores, and the doctor refused to go out to see the doctor after hearing his surname. Later I learned that it was the eunuch around the sixth prince who told me that the doctor nearby was not allowed to see him.


    How dare the common people fight against the prince? As a result, the Chen family even failed to run to many drug stores. Later, or gritted his teeth to pay a high price to invite a passing quack to give Chen Jiang pulse diagnosis. The doctor has two brushes, and the prescription is to stabilize Chen Jiang''s injury. But Chen Jiang''s disease is quite fierce. He uses many valuable herbs, and often buys some red ginseng and other tonic soup to nourish his body. Some of the nearby pharmacies didn''t dare to sell her medicine, and a few of them dared to take risks and raised the price one after another. Although Chen''s anger, but there is no good way, can only be recognized. In just a few days, the Chen family''s surplus money came to an end. Chen had no choice but to come out and sell off some of his home things.


    It''s not that she didn''t want to ask for help from the people who are usually good friends. It''s just that Chen Jiang''s godfather had gone last winter, and the rest of the people were sweeping the snow in front of the door. At first, there were several people who came to inquire. Later, after listening to the sixth Prince''s attitude, they disappeared. If they didn''t fall into the well, they would have been kind. There are those who are not afraid of the sixth prince. Seeing that Chen Jiang is no longer good, I heard that he has vomited blood. How many days can he live? Everyone thought that he was just making a living. Seeing that he had lost the meaning of making friends, he naturally refused to waste his efforts on him.


    Listen to Chen''s words, leisurely in the heart not from will six Prince scold countless times. It is clear that he is wrong, innocent implicated others do not say, even so despicable means to hold revenge on others? It''s true that we must pay for it! If such a person really becomes an emperor, will the common people in the bottom of the world be in bad luck?


    She thought too far for a moment, and didn''t answer in time. In Chen''s eyes, leisurely is also afraid of offending the sixth prince, so he is thinking about how to get rid of himself. However, the other side is twice as strong as many people without directly chasing them. Chen suddenly stood up and said with a bitter smile, "I know that my wife is in a dilemma, and I don''t want to let her benefactor get into trouble. I''ll leave now."


    Leisurely quickly stretched out her hand and took her arm. "Lady, stay a step. I was just stunned for a while, but I really didn''t mean to be beside her. Speaking of the sixth prince, others may be afraid to offend him, but I''m not afraid. I''ve offended him to the end. " Then he gave a general account of the incident the day before yesterday, and then said, "in other words, your brother''s injury has something to do with me. I can''t stand by without talking about the origin of our two families. But this time, it''s not easy to rush to find another doctor. You know my mother''s cousin Yulian. Why don''t you let her go and feel the pulse for father-in-law Chen to see how much he has been hurt? Then let''s think about the other idea Chen''s eyes red, "thank you for your help." She has been treated coldly and bullied all these days. Now she is willing to lend a helping hand. As soon as the pressure in her heart is relieved, she suddenly cries.


    Leisurely see her cry sad, also did not rush to persuade, just let her vent there. On the other hand, he ordered his servants to go back and invite Yulian, and asked them to take some of the herbs and tonics they had at home. She thought that Chen Jiang must be weak after being injured for so many days. Ginseng, a great tonic, must not be used for a while. It''s better to take some red ginseng for practical use. But just in case, she told the servant girl, "go back and tell your sister LiuYe to take a ginseng more than ten years old and a few red ginseng."


    Then he took a look at Chen''s dress and said, "take some more clothes and some materials from outside, and let the coachman drive straight to Mr. Chen''s house."


    After crying, Chen finally felt better. Leisurely and timely, he handed over a handkerchief. Chen took the handkerchief to dry his tears. He was embarrassed and said, "let me see you."


    Leisurely back to the way "what''s the matter, lady these days is also affected, you can rest assured, Mr. Chen is also a kind-hearted person, will be rewarded."


    Chen took a deep breath, "Mrs. Xie said Then he got up and said, "it''s really a long time for me to come out. There are only two children and two younger brothers at home. I''d better hurry back."


    Leisurely surprised way "home is not there are two servants?"


    With a bitter smile, Chen said, "these days, the family is very hard up, and those slaves are willing to go. When I saw that I could not keep people, I sent them all. Only Le''er is a good girl. Seeing the difficulties at home, she sold herself to an embroidery shop. He also left me 30 liang of silver for selling himself, and left with only a few clothes to change. " Then his eyes turned red again.


    Leisurely sigh way "this wench is a heartfelt, you tell me the name of embroider building now, I let a person go to redeem her." Chen was overjoyed at hearing the speech, but he didn''t care to be polite. He quickly said the name of xiulou.


    Hearing the name of the embroidery building, I was very familiar. It was on the street next to it. The servants next to him didn''t have to give orders, so they went to redeem them. Just went half a day, the person is to droop head to come back however, the person did not redeem to come back!

 Chapter 342

    Leisurely saw his subordinates come back without success, and could not help but frown and ask, "who are you?"


    It''s a steward of Liuli shop. There''s some thin noodles around here. He went with the silver, but he didn''t redeem the people?


    After listening to leisurely inquiry, the steward lowered his head in shame. "I''m incompetent. Su''s Embroidery House said that Le''er was bought by a man a few days ago." Then he hesitated and said, "Xiao De is familiar with a cashier in the embroidery building. After asking him in secret, he knows that the people who bought Le''er are all like eunuchs in the palace. He also said that the eunuch once hung a waist tag of Jingyang hall on his waist. "


    "Jingyang hall? Have you asked carefully? Did the cashier take a good look? " Leisurely not from repeatedly ask a way.


    The steward replied positively, "yes, my friend said that Le''er''s needlework is good, and she is young. Originally, xiulou expected her to do more work and earn more money. The man was only willing to pay 40 liang of silver. The shopkeeper of xiulou didn''t want to, but he made a concession after seeing the waist tag. The money was collected by my friend. When he got close to the man, he could see it clearly, absolutely right. "


    Leisurely nodded, "OK, I see. Go ahead."


    Hearing this, Chen also understood something. She asked bitterly, "did the people of the sixth Prince buy Le''er?" Chen Jiang had talked to her about the palace before, and she also knew that the palace where the princes lived started with Jing. And their family has nothing to do with the other princes in the palace, and this can only be done by the sixth prince.


    Although very do not want to admit this fact, but leisurely still sighed "should be." Even if they didn''t make it clear, they both knew that the sixth prince would not have a good purpose to let people take away the fun. These nobles have never paid attention to human life, and now Le''er is in danger.


    Chen closed his mouth and sobbed, "it''s me who hurt Le''er. No matter how hard it was, I shouldn''t let her sell herself. I didn''t want to implicate her, but I didn''t expect to hurt her in the end. She''s only fifteen years old


    When I thought of the lovely little maid who had sent me pearls, I was also sad! She forbeared the anger in her heart and advised, "lady, don''t cry in a hurry. I''ll let people have a look again. It''s not sure that there will be a turn for the better."


    After hearing about Le''er, leisurely has a further understanding of the small mind of the sixth prince. Chen Jiang''s meeting just stopped him a little because of his errand. Afterwards, it attracted the sixth Prince''s crazy retaliation. Not only do you want Chen Jiang''s life, but also his family''s servants are not willing to let it go!


    Thinking of this, he said to Chen leisurely, "it seems that the sixth Prince has been staring at your house. It might be dangerous to live there again. Well, I''ll send you back later. Wait for Yulian to finish the pulse for Duke Chen. If his body allows, I''d better give you another place to live as soon as possible. "


    Chen did not expect that the sixth prince should be so cruel. He could not help worrying about his children and younger brother. At the moment also can''t take care of sad, quickly take a handkerchief wipe tears, leave quickly.


    The sixth prince! Leisurely thought for a while, and then ordered the way "to the house of King Liang." The sixth Prince clings to Chen Jiang, which is not good news for leisurely. But if we make good use of it, it may not be an opportunity.


    Leisurely to the house of King Liang, Chen Jiang''s story as a matter of fact. Shen Tian understood leisurely''s intention as soon as he heard it. "Do you want me to take this opportunity to overthrow Lao Liu? Just a little eunuch, the Emperor may not be angry! "


    Leisurely calm back way "don''t need the emperor angry, as long as use this matter in the emperor''s heart fell a trace on the line.". Dropping water wears away stone. If such an event is repeated several times, the impression of the sixth prince in the emperor''s heart will be greatly reduced. At that time, it will be Feng Fei''s wife who will have the next prince. I''m afraid it will be difficult to make up for the deficiency of the sixth Prince''s character. After all, as the king of a country, if you don''t talk about it, you''ll have a small mind, but you''ll have a big taboo! As for this matter, if you can make the emperor dislike the sixth prince, it depends on your means? " This time, Shen Tian was smiling and shaking his head. "I don''t want to do this. I can''t sit on the throne after all. If someone wants to sit in this position, he has to do something. I have to do everything for him. Isn''t his royal highness Liang boring? Those side imperial concubines in the backyard can''t follow the light in white. What they should do is to make a few efforts. I''ll take care of this matter. Don''t worry about Mr. Chen. King Liang will take good care of him when he knows about it. Your identity will suffer some losses for the sixth prince after all. Let the two brothers pinch them by themselves. "


    With Shen Tian''s promise, leisurely suddenly relieved. Although she is not afraid to offend the sixth Prince again, she has already offended the sixth Prince thoroughly. Just like Shen Tian said, her identity has not reached the point where the sixth Prince is very scrupulous after all. Even if she takes Chen Jiang''s family to her own home, what can she do if the sixth Prince lets people rush in regardless? If you don''t get one right, you''ll get dirty water.


    As expected, the sixth prince always had people staring at the Chen family''s house. When the Chen family went back alone in a carriage, they attracted their attention. Later, they saw that the servants of the Shen family came into the Chen house with several bags, and someone went back to the palace to report.


    At this time, several princes were gathering in the Qianyuan palace to discuss with emperor Longde about the prince''s annual sacrifice. Liang Wang took a look at Lao Liu who was talking, and then Longde Di looked at Lao Liu''s gratified eyes, which made him feel bored. These younger brothers are really more and more annoying, one by one to compete with him for emperor''s favor! The rest are just a few. They are more or less modest. This old six is really more and more shameful, seize the opportunity to express themselves. From time to time the performance of a father and son affection, brotherhood, is really appetizing! Let''s talk about this today. The prince''s annual sacrifice should have been the reply of the prince, the head of the house of internal affairs. The sixth man just put a stick in it and had to talk about his own Xiangfa! Cut, what can a hairy boy do? Don''t you let the staff think about it in advance? Now it''s shameless to put it on yourself!


    Liang Wang''s heart is not live abdominal Fei, but on the face is a calm and self-contained appearance, even on the face and Longde Di''s expression is similar, all with a bit of comfort. If you let leisurely see this, I''m afraid you''ll praise Liang Wang''s acting skills every minute. He''s definitely a movie king. When the king of Liang was in a bad mood, he just got the news from Shen Tian.


    Looking at the old six who is talking, Liang Wang sneers in his heart, which will make you proud first, and then you cry!

 Chapter 343

    The king of Liang saw that his father was surrounded by several brothers, and he seemed to sit in the corner of the hall unintentionally. Seeing this, Yu Gui, the eunuch in charge of Qianyuan palace, took a cup of tea from the little eunuch who entered the tea room. He personally brought it to King Liang and asked with a smile, "please have tea, my lord?"


    The king of Liang took the cup and said with a smile, "how can I help my father-in-law to serve the tea in person? I''ve accepted it." Yu Gui said with a smile, "it''s all small things that should be done. How can the Lord sit here by himself? Look at the king of Zhou. They are all beside the emperor." The king of Liang said with a smile, "now that there is no lack of flattery around my father, I will not go to this hot nest."


    In the eyes of outsiders, they just exchanged a few words of greetings. In fact, the king of Liang has whispered a few words to Yu Gui. I''m afraid lundeti would never have thought that the eunuch in charge, whom he had always relied on and trusted most, had already secretly turned to the new leader.


    When he finished the matter succinctly, the king of Liang said, "it''s not necessary to make too much noise. Just let your father know." After listening to King Liang''s instructions, Yu Gui showed his understanding with his eyes, and then said aloud, "please help yourself, master. I''ll go out and see how the emperor''s tonic soup hasn''t come yet."


    Yu Gui turns around and goes out. After a long time, he leads a little eunuch with a tray to come in. He took the eunuch to lundeti and said with a smile, "emperor, your tonic soup is here. Will you drink it while it''s hot?"


    Longde Di frowned and asked, "what kind of soup is it today?" Yu Gui replied with a smile, "it''s the chicken soup made of Dictyophora. There''s not a drop of oil left. It''s not greasy." Then he opened the lid of the stew and showed it to Emperor Longde. Emperor Longde saw that the soup was still clear. Besides Dictyophora and shredded chicken, there were two green vegetables in it. They were green and fresh, which was a bit tempting. So he nodded and said, "it''s OK to watch. I''ll have a taste of them."


    Yu Gui quickly took the stewed Gu from the young eunuch and handed it to the emperor. Emperor Longde took the stewed Gu. At the moment when he looked up, he saw that Yu Gui''s eyes were red, so he frowned and asked, "how are your eyes red?"


    Smell speech in expensive a Leng, then smile way "thank emperor to care, but just go out of time carelessly by sand lost an eye, rubbed a few times."


    Lundeti nodded and said, "be careful in the future." Finish saying to lower head to drink soup, the remaining light of canthus is to see in expensive to old six there Chou several eyes.


    Today, the tonic soup made by the imperial dining room was quite to the taste of lundeti. He drank more than half of a bowl of soup. After drinking the soup, he said to the princes in the palace, "OK, it''s getting late. You''re all gone. What should you do. As for the anniversary of the prince, five, your brothers are still young. How much trouble do you have to worry about it


    The king of Liang quickly and respectfully agreed, but let the king of Zhou on the other side of the list, he is in the front, but his father always can''t see himself, this fifth brother, is really a person to deal with!


    When the princes were gone, Emperor Longde also told the eunuchs around him, "I''m a little tired. I want to be quiet. You all go down! Yu Gui will stay here and pinch my legs. "


    Hearing the speech, Yu Gui quickly put down the dust in his hand, rolled up his sleeves and knelt down in front of arhat''s couch to pinch his legs and feet for emperor Longde. Longde Di half squinted and said, "you are the most suitable for all the eunuchs in the palace."


    Yu Gui said with a smile, "that''s right. The slave also has his own knack. If everyone can learn it, won''t it be in vain for the slave to follow the emperor for decades?"


    Lund Di smiles, reaches out his hand and nods his forehead, "you, you! Tell me, how did that eye ring get red just now? "


    Smell speech at expensive to stay Leng for a while, then grin to say "the slave isn''t to say?"? I was lost in the sand when I went out... "Before I finished speaking, I was interrupted by Emperor Longde." OK, I can''t even distinguish between the lost eyes and the red eyes. I know what kind of virtue you are. Let''s talk about it. What''s the trouble? "


    Yu Gui grinned bitterly and shook his head. "Emperor, please don''t ask any more. I can''t say it!" Long de Di "Teng" sit up "how can''t say? When did you do that? Hurry up and say it quickly. Do you want me to find someone to check it? "


    Yu Gui quickly put out his hand to stop him. "Don''t, don''t, Emperor. I tell you the truth, but don''t be angry. That day, the sixth Prince kicked the little eunuch who stopped him at the gate of the palace? The sixth prince was angry at that time, and he used a little more strength. The boy was not very good at that time. His superior eunuchs were afraid that something might happen to him in the palace, so they asked him to go back to his house outside the palace. "


    Emperor Longde asked in a deep voice, "the one who can guard the gate must be at least five eunuchs, right? What''s the name of the injured one? Xiaojiangzi, right? Why didn''t you find a doctor to treat him when he was injured? "


    Yu Gui said with an embarrassed smile, "well, this slave is not very clear. The slave thought that after xiaojiangzi came out of the palace, he would find a doctor to treat him. This meeting would be better. I didn''t see him come back to work all the time. I thought the boy was lazy, so I asked Xiao Xiangzi to have a look at his house. Who would have thought... "Yu Gui didn''t expect that emperor Longde still had an impression on Chen Jiang. In this way, things would be better.


    Longde Di asked in a deep voice, "but is xiaojiangzi bad?" He remembered that xiaojiangzi was clever, diligent and steady, and he had a good feeling in his heart.


    Yu Gui nodded. "Xiao Xiangzi said that Xiao Jiangzi had not found a doctor to treat him. Now he is just barely breathing. It''s just a matter of these days!" Chen Jiang''s condition is naturally not so serious, but Yu Gui deliberately said to Chongli.


    Why can''t I find a doctor outside the palace? Long de Di thought of Lao Liu''s bad temper and guessed the key after a little thought, so he said coldly, "but Lao Liu is blocking the doctor''s experience to see xiaojiangzi?"


    Yu Gui quickly explained, "how could the sixth prince do such a thing? It''s just that the eunuch around him looks at xiaojiangzi and makes his master unhappy, so he embarrasses xiaojiangzi in the name of the sixth prince. "


    "What''s the dilemma?" Longdeti asked with a frown.


    Yu Gui sighed, "in fact, you don''t have to be embarrassed. As long as you say that he has offended his Royal Highness the sixth prince, doctors of all sizes in the capital dare not give xiaojiangzi a diagnosis and treatment. Thanks to the boy''s good fortune, his brother-in-law would rather be a soft seller than buy ginseng to hang him. If he had been more cruel, he might have run away with his family property. Where else can he live? However, it''s all done by the people at the bottom of the story. The sixth prince says that he doesn''t know about it at all. The emperor must not be angry with his highness because of this. "


    Long de Di sneered, "OK, you don''t have to say good things to Lao Liu. Don''t you know his temperament? Xiaojiangzi is my servant after all. It''s not his turn to deal with anything bad. You should first send a doctor to see xiaojiangzi, and be sure to treat him well. I see that xiaojiangzi has done a good job. He is loyal and deserves a heavy reward. A few days ago, you said you were missing a chief eunuch. Let xiaojiangzi make up for the job when he comes back! "


    Yu Gui bowed to answer, but he was thinking that the Emperor didn''t show so much favor to the sixth prince, or he wouldn''t slap him like that! The chief eunuch is a third grade eunuch, only one level lower than the chief manager of the second grade eunuch. There has always been no deputy director in Qianyuan palace, which means that Chen Jiang became the second person in the eunuch of Dakang.


    I just don''t know if this guy can stand this blessing? While Yu Gui sent someone to pass on the doctor, he muttered in his heart.


    After discussing with Shen Tian, leisurely comes to Chen''s house by car. Rao is that she has a certain preparation in her heart. When she sees Chen Jiang, who is as thin as firewood and is almost out of shape, she is still severely stabbed in her heart!


    The man in front of her is quite different from the energetic Mr. Chen in her memory. After all, he once knew him, and he helped himself several times. Leisurely on the spot can not help but red eyes, she asked Yulian way "you can give Mr. Chen over pulse?"? What''s the situation like? "


    Yulian shook her head. "It''s not very good. Mr. Chen suffered from internal injury. The prescription given by the quack is not right. It''s really not easy to do after such a long delay. After all, I have limited experience in internal injuries. I have to find another doctor who is proficient in this field. " Leisurely sighed, "of course I understand what you said. If I can get a doctor, I won''t let you run this time. Anyway, you should make a mild prescription for him to eat. In a day or two, maybe the palace will send someone


    As soon as the voice fell, I heard a loud noise outside. A little servant girl went out to have a look, and said that there were many eunuchs coming outside, and they had already turned into the alley. Leisurely heart suddenly a loose, this Liang Wang''s action than she imagined even faster on some.


    Without waiting to speak leisurely, Chen said first, "there''s someone in the palace. The lady''s identity has been seen by others. There''s always a few words of right and wrong. Why don''t the lady and her servants go first through the back corner door? It''s just going to hurt my wife. "


    Leisurely while walking out, he said, "what is this? I will leave two guys at the entrance of your Hutong to inquire about the news. If there''s anything wrong, let them send me a letter as soon as possible. "


    Just listen to the footsteps outside getting closer and closer, don''t care to do more greetings, leisurely and Yulian quickly left with the servant girls. Fortunately, the hutongs here are narrow and their carriages are parked on the main road outside, otherwise it would be a real trouble.


    It was dark when I came home in the carriage. One of the boys she left behind has already come back and is waiting at the second gate. Leisurely didn''t want him to come back so quickly. He asked, "but what happened to the Chen family?"

 Chapter 344

    His name is shuangshou. He was selected from Chuang Tzu recently. He is very clever. After listening to the master''s question, he said with a smile, "it''s not a bad thing to go back to grandma. It was after the emperor heard about his injury that he sent the imperial doctor to treat him. The emperor also rewarded Mr. Chen with a lot of gold and silver. It is said that he was promoted to an official position. The little eunuchs said that they seemed to be leading eunuchs. "


    Leisurely smile way "but the leader eunuch?" The boy nodded busily and said, "that''s the word. Chen Niangzi specially asked the little one to come back and report his good news to his wife. The provincial wife is thinking about it. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s really a great joy, but when you come back, only Shuangrui is there. Maybe you should come here?" Shuangshou said with a smile, "grandma doesn''t have to worry. After hearing that Chen Gong has been promoted, many eunuchs have come to the palace to help with the work, and some other eunuchs have sent their servants to help. There is no shortage of hands for lady Chen."


    It''s really the icing on the cake! After a little thought, he said, "OK, I know. You''re tired after a long day''s work. Let''s go down to dinner and go back to Chen''s tomorrow morning. Those people are not necessarily used to Chen Niang Zi. You and Shuang Rui are there to help. " Then he told Liu Ye, "give him two purses. He and Shuangrui are one."


    Shuangshou took the purse, thanks a lot. Now he has some experience. If the purse is heavy, it''s mostly copper money. This purse is not heavy. It may be silver beads. He went out of the door, opened his purse and saw that there was a pair of silver beads about four dollars in it, which helped him to earn two months'' money. In addition, when she left the Chen family just now, the double silver ingot that Mrs. Chen had stuffed, is really rich today! Shuangshou happily put his reward money close to his body, thinking that if he saved it for a few years, he would have money to marry his daughter-in-law.


    When Shen Ze came back in the evening, he talked about today''s affairs one by one. Then he whispered, "I underestimated his royal highness in the past. I didn''t expect that he was so powerful in the palace that even the emperor had his own staff."


    Shen Ze said, "his royal highness is always good at winning people''s hearts. Not everyone is as bad as our lady." Leisurely sighed, "it''s not clear whether it''s a good thing or a bad thing for us!"


    Smell speech, Shen Ze pacify of clap her hand "don''t worry, have Niang Niang in, always won''t let good things become bad things."


    Leisurely self mocking smile, when did he become such a worrisome temperament? Then he talked about other things. Since the beginning of spring, the family and relatives have been having children''s birthdays. It''s not just after the birthdays of the two sons and brothers, but in a twinkling of an eye, it''s the age of the younger brother''s niece.


    Although the prince''s national filial piety has not yet come out, the Lin family does not want to hold a grand festival. But when it comes to the day, there are still many close people who send gifts. Leisurely is with two sons and Yulian mother and daughter went to her mother''s home to make a birthday for her little niece, even Shen Xi also specially asked for a day off, followed by a go to the Lin family.


    Zhuang Shu saw two aunts coming and said with a smile, "it''s all said that you don''t need to come. She''s a child. What''s the labor of her family? Come here and live for her?"


    Leisurely said with a smile, "I have nothing to do at home. I should come here to relax under the name of elder sister. Oh, by the way, have you two given her a name? " It''s not that the couple are tired and lazy and can''t name their daughter. It''s really that they are both of great literary talent. They have too many names. It''s good to look at each one. But there is only one girl. Can you give her a string of names? So this hesitation has been delayed until now.


    After listening to the banter of her elder sister, Zhuang Shu said with a smile, "this time I''ve really got up. I''ve discussed with my elder brother. When she was born, it was the time for Qionghua to bloom. Not to mention that Qionghua is immaculate and exquisite, even scholars since ancient times have praised it as a pure and unyielding heroine. My uncle and I searched all the poems praising Qionghua and chose "Qingfu" as her name. "


    Zhuang Shu said with a light smile, "but the name is from Wang Yuepu''s Song Dynasty poem:" a thousand whiskers cluster around the butterfly fragrance, nine calyx with different flowers. " This poem is not widely spread, Zhuang Shu is also heard Xianggong mention just know, did not expect to be read out all of a sudden. She couldn''t help clapping her hands and praising, "my sister is really knowledgeable. I learned this poem after listening to Xianggong. I didn''t expect that my sister recited it all at once."


    The poem was recited to angel that year when I planted the Qionghua tree at home. The poet left only two poems, so it is easy to remember. I remember another sentence: "a thousand pearls holding a plain core, a bright moon breaking a fragrant flower." it''s also excellent. Why didn''t you choose it from this poem? "


    Zhuang Shu immediately stopped and said, "isn''t it? Sister and I think the same, I also like this sentence, Qing Su or Su Rui are excellent words. But Xianggong said that the plain words were too few and the meaning was not good, so it was useless. "


    Is it really because of this? When you just heard your sister-in-law say the origin of the name "Qingfu", the first sentence in your mind is the last sentence of the poem: "the Golden Vase is the advanced imperial family.". She then gently shook her head, it should be that she thought too much. So she followed Zhuang Shu''s words and said, "fortunately you didn''t use this word. It''s just a taboo of Rongjun princess."


    Zhuang Shu exclaimed, "fortunately, Xianggong has given this word no, otherwise, although the empress herself doesn''t care about it, she will always feel that our family doesn''t respect us when others know it."


    Leisurely smile way "is exactly this reason!"


    While talking, the party has arrived at the flower hall in the backyard. Miss Qingfu is being teased by her grandmother. Because today is her good day, Zhuang Shu specially gave her a red brocade dress embroidered with Qionghua pattern. There are still some thin short hair with pearl red rope tied two Chaotian braids, neck wearing a leisurely gold inlaid jade life lock, the child was born white and lovely, such a dress is more pink carved jade cut, love.


    Leisurely see the niece, only feel their full maternal love has been mobilized, quickly picked her up from her mother''s arms. Such a big child has already begun to recognize people. Leisurely, he often comes here. Qingfu doesn''t recognize life at all. Obediently, he is hugged and claps his hands and shouts "Gu, Gu."


    This call can make leisurely happy. Leisurely says with a smile to Lin''s mother and sister-in-law, "we Qingfu are smart. We don''t remember my aunt these days. What a good boy!"

 Chapter 345

    Then leisurely hand holding her, the other hand from the sleeve out of a pink and purple tourmaline Ruyi shaped jade pendant for niece to hang on her skirt. Zhuang Shu saw busy way "elder sister, you give her good thing again, she so little person again don''t use."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "children grow fast and grow up in a twinkling of an eye. Save it first and use it when you grow up. " Then he kisses Qingfu''s little face, "isn''t it, niece?" Lilliputian didn''t know what her aunt meant, but it didn''t stop her from giggling and her eyes almost narrowed into a slit.


    After that, Yulian also took out her own gift. In addition to a delicate gold lock, she also made her own clothes. On the goose yellow plain Hangzhou silk, she embroidered a bright and beautiful spring jasmine. Zhuang Shu saw the clothes and said, "what a delicate and bright work! I didn''t even wear such exquisite clothes for her. Cousin Lao is bothering


    Yulian smiles, and then Shen Xi takes her own gift. It''s a sachet she embroiders herself. Needless to say, the embroiderer can''t compare with her sister-in-law and others, but she can hold it well among ordinary ladies. It was Zhuang Shu who could see that the thumb sized safety clasp on the sachet was crystal clear, with a green luster, which was valuable.


    But without waiting for her to say goodbye, taoliang also took out a small gift and held it high and said, "aunt, you see, this is my birthday gift for my sister. I made it myself."


    Zhuang Shu took it and saw that it was a small bracelet made of silk thread. There were three beautiful pink peach flowers on it. There was a small pearl the size of mung bean on the peach flower stamen. It was very attractive. Zhuang Shu lowered her head and asked with a smile, "Tao Liang, did you really make this yourself?"


    Taoliang nodded haughtily, "of course Zhuang Shu quickly pinched the small bag on her head and praised, "Tao Liang is so smart and skillful. It''s a good job. My sister is old. Can you teach her to do this too?"


    Hearing this, Tao Liang quickly raised his face and nodded, "OK, I can teach my sister how to make a purse. I can cut it myself." Then he bowed his head and said, "it''s a pity that I can''t embroider. Otherwise, I must embroider a beautiful purse for my sister. It''s better than aunt Xi''s


    Zhuang Shu pinched her little nose and said, "our taoliang is so smart. In the future, she will embroider better than your aunt Xi."


    Shen Xi teased her and said, "since you always want to surpass me, don''t come to my room to learn painting in the future." Taoliang quickly ran to her, reached for her skirt and said, "aunt Xi, I''m wrong. I''m just joking. I didn''t want to surpass you."


    People see her serious expression with big black eyes and crisp voice, immediately feel very funny. Zhuang Shu takes taoliang''s little hand and asks her to bring her daughter a bracelet. Taoliang had drawn according to pingge''er''s wrist before he made it, so the thickness was just right.


    When others saw him, they had to praise Tao Liang again, which made the little girl feel embarrassed.


    Zhuang Shu did not give others under the post, estimated that people should come almost, so let people put on the table and catch the week with things, ready to let her daughter catch the week.


    Just at this time, the maid outside reported that "Granny Li is coming."


    Smell speech public a Leng, don''t know this is who? Zhuang Shu had a little impatience on her face, but she said, "please come here quickly."


    As soon as the voice fell, a crisp female voice outside rang out, "brother and sister, don''t bother. I''ve come by myself." Then a young woman in scarlet flowers and butterfly brocade came in.


    Looking leisurely, the head is wearing a pair of red gold inlaid Luan bird hairpins, as well as heart picking, hair pressing, comb inserting and so on, and a pair of finger wide gold bracelets inlaid with eight treasures and two or three different kinds of gold rings. It''s really a movable jewelry shelf! Looking at this man''s dress, it doesn''t look like he has something to do with his family. Is he a relative of Zhuang Shu''s family? It seems that seeing the doubts of the elder sister, Zhuang Shu whispered, "this is the wife of Mr. Li Wenbo, the classmate friend of Xianggong."


    Leisurely still has some impression on Li Wenbo. Not to mention that he is a classmate of his younger brother for many years, she was also deeply impressed by Zhuang Shu''s production last time. Now seeing his wife come here uninvited at this time, I suddenly feel a little disgusted.


    She thinks a lot, but it''s just a blink of an eye. At this time, Granny Li had come in and was giving a gift to mother Lin. Although Lin''s mother was a little surprised by her visit, she still asked with a smile, "little child''s birthday, I didn''t expect to disturb you."


    Granny Li chuckled and said, "this is not an ordinary birthday. It''s my eldest sister''s first birthday. If I want to pay attention to Zhou, can I not come with the relationship between our two families?" With that, he looked at leisurely and others and asked, "who are these people?"


    Zhuang Shu introduced her one by one, and pointed to Yulian and said, "this is our big hall sister, lady Lin." He pointed to leisurely and said, "this is my elder sister, Mrs. Shen." Finally, he pointed to Shen Xi and said, "this is the big girl of Shen family." As for the small ones, they all ran to the back to play just now, so they were not in the hall.


    Granny Li visited each other one by one, and then said with a smile, "I''ve heard of some of you for a long time. It''s a great honor to meet you today." All the people were very busy, but they didn''t mention it.


    At this time, the servant came to report that the things for catching the week were ready. So they went to the front hall together. There was no need to repeat the whole process. In the end, Miss Lin grabbed a bunch of embroidery thread and a book. Without waiting for others to speak, Granny Li praised her first: "after elder sister, she will be a person of beauty and wisdom!"


    Other people also along with praise, no matter what, in the heart of Lin Mu and Zhuang Shu, their children are the best. However, when the children strive for their own success and grasp the most auspicious objects, the elders are naturally more willing.


    After the week was over, it was near noon. After the flower hall has been put on the lunch, the people go back to eat without mentioning. Although we can''t drink, it''s fun and lively for everyone to eat and drink together. But with Granny Li as an outsider, some intimate words can''t be said directly. Fortunately, Granny Li is a talkative and witty person. After a meal, she has a good impression on her. Just at the thought of her unpredictable husband, the favor was limited.


    While they are eating here, Shen Tian is talking to Fang Xinsu in King Liang''s mansion. Halfway through, she suddenly remembered, "by the way, what did you do today? Why didn''t you come? "


    Fang Xinsu replied, "she''s gone to celebrate her niece''s first birthday, so she has no time to come over."


    Hearing this, Shen Tian said with a smile, "is the daughter of Lin Da''s family so soon over one year old? You didn''t say earlier that you should send a present. "

 Chapter 346

    In other words, the Lin family had just had lunch and were having tea and chatting. There is a small servant girl in a hurry to come back to the way "wife, grandma, Princess Liang, the mother let people send a birthday gift to the big girl."


    Hearing this, Lin''s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law suddenly feel a little flattered. Even leisurely, they feel a little surprised. Zhuang Shu quickly stood up and asked, "where is the giver now? Please invite her in


    After a while, a second-class servant girl next to Shen Tian came in under the guidance of her mother-in-law. Although she was just a servant girl, as soon as she came in, everyone in the hall could not help but stand up, and only sat on the seat leisurely and steadily.


    The servant girl didn''t take a big deal. When she came into the room, she saluted calmly and said, "I''ve seen you ladies and grandmothers. Please say hello to all of you."


    Zhuang Shu had already personally welcomed her to the door, quickly pulled her up and said with a smile, "how polite you are! It''s just a child''s birthday. I didn''t expect that it shocked the princess. I''m really ashamed of it. "


    The servant girl here is named Ju Ying. She is also from the government of the state of loyalty. She has known you ran for many years. So after greeting Zhuang Shu and Lin''s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, you can''t help but joke with leisurely: "Madam hasn''t gone these two days, but sisters are thinking of her."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "do you think of me or my good things?" Ju Ying covered her mouth with a smile and said, "naturally, I think so. Even the empress talks about the fresh fruits from Lady Chuang Tzu every day, not to mention our sisters?"


    Smell speech, leisurely shake hands of the fan, "this is easy to say, these two days on the melon and strawberry Chuang Tzu should be ripe, as long as a delivery, I first choose to send to your palace." Ju Ying said, "don''t forget our sisters, madam."


    Leisurely smile angry she one eye "rest assured, can''t forget you." After a few words, Ju Ying got up and left. Zhuang Shu personally sent her out, naturally there is no need to plug in the past a first-class red envelope.


    Although there were more than ten people coming, what Shen Tian sent was only two silks and a brocade box. Granny Li peeked at the red brocade box with the peony pattern. She wanted to see what was inside. She thought that the princess would not be too stingy. But Zhuang Shu turns her head to let the servant girl put it away. She doesn''t mean to open it in public.


    Granny Li, also known as the Zhou family, was disappointed and envied. The one in my family used to look pretty good. He had already passed the entrance examination for Jinshi at a young age. He had been a good scholar for two years. Now he is also compiling from liupin. In front of her sisters, it''s also the most noble job! Just look at Mr. Lin. although he is a classmate with Xianggong, he is now a senior member of Sanpin! How old is he this year? Tong is only in his early twenties, three years younger than Xianggong!


    Let''s not talk about these things, let''s take character. How warm is Mr. Lin? Even if the front dress is better, but just look at granny Lin''s soft eyebrows and eyes, you can see that there must be a lot of comfort. If you look at renlin''s mother-in-law and eldest sister-in-law, you can see that they are all reasonable people. Not like my mother-in-law! All I know is that I''m a son, and I want to put my mother-in-law money all day.


    Thinking of this, Zhou only felt the tightness of his chest was hard to say, a burst of suffocation. She muttered in her heart that she didn''t know whether it was because of the heat. She always felt flustered and short of breath. She didn''t have much spirit in the town. This month''s small day just left, is not pregnant, really do not know how to do!


    Thinking about this, Zhou took a sip of tea from the teacup on the table. How could he feel dizzy? So he sat there and didn''t dare to move.


    Zhuang Shu see her spirit today, thought it was because of the hot afternoon sleepy. In addition, at this time, people''s looks were somewhat sleepy, so they didn''t think much about it. He just stood up and said with a smile, "it''s easy to take a nap sitting here. There are several pots of flowers blooming well in the back greenhouse. Why don''t we go and have a look?"


    And they all said well, and stood up one after another. A few of them had already run to the front yard to play. They took Mrs. Lin''s arm leisurely. As soon as they got to the door, they heard a "Dong", which scared her and Mrs. Lin. When they looked back together, they saw that Zhou fell to the ground for some reason, which surprised everyone. Yulian was the first to run to her, felt her pulse, and then said, "it''s OK. Let''s carry her to the couch first." Coincidentally, there was a beauty couch in the west of the flower hall, and people carried Zhou to the couch with all hands and feet.


    A few servant girls brought by Zhou''s family were so scared that they cried there. Fortunately, Yulian took out her silver needle and pricked it for her a few times. Soon, Zhou woke up, and all the people stopped. Qiao Ying, the maid beside her, came forward and asked, "grandma, you''re awake. What do you think of this meeting?" As Zhou''s servant girl, she knows that Zhou has not been comfortable these days. Just now, she suddenly fainted, which scared Qiao Ying a lot.


    Just now, although Zhou felt some twists and turns, she was still conscious. She shook her head and said, "it''s OK." Then he struggled to sit up.


    Jade lotus quickly stretched out her hand and pressed her down, "don''t hurry up, be careful of dizziness. How do you feel now? " Zhou said with a weak smile, "it''s OK. It''s much better. Thank you for your help just now. "


    Hearing this, Yulian shook her head. "Granny Li, you''re welcome. Although I''m not a serious doctor, I know how to save the dying and heal the wounded. It''s right to do so. I''m afraid you''ve been sick for some time, haven''t you


    Zhou nodded, "isn''t it? It''s about ten days. I often feel dizzy and nauseous. Sometimes I feel flustered and short of breath when I''m a little angry. After seeing the doctor, I only say it''s because of the season. I really don''t know what''s wrong. "


    Lin''s mother said to one side, "you are a child. You usually look and listen to Kang Jian. How come you suddenly like this? You must find another doctor. You are still young. Don''t take your body seriously! "


    When she said this, she said, "thank you, madam. I know this in my heart, but I can''t get away from my busy family these days. I have no time to see the doctor." With that, he turned his eyes to Yulian, who was sitting beside the couch. "I have heard that lady Lin is good at medicine for a long time. Today I saw her and I knew that she really deserves her reputation. I don''t know if I can ask my wife to help me. What''s the symptom


    After hearing this, Yulian did not immediately agree, but looked at the people around her. Seeing this, leisurely stood up and said to Zhuang Shu with a smile, "I see Granny Li''s face is not good. Let''s go to the kitchen and make some soup for her."


    Lin mother also took advantage of the opportunity to stand up, "I also go to have a look, let Yulian quiet pulse diagnosis here." Then he went out. As soon as the three of them and their servants left, the room became quiet, leaving only a few of Zhou''s maids.


    From the flower hall out, Zhuang Shu face with doubt to leisurely said, "also don''t know this week sister got what disease? My cousin is so secretive, isn''t it a serious illness? "


    Leisurely shook his head, "this is not easy to say, waiting for the cousin to come out, we ask not clear?" Said two people together went to Zhuang Shu''s courtyard to talk. But mother Lin went to see a few children in front of her. Only the servants were there. She was not at ease after all.


    Zhou looked at Yulian''s face, gritted his teeth and said to Qiaoying, "I don''t have any serious symptoms here. I''ll talk to lady Lin here. You go down first." Qiao Ying although some don''t feel at ease, but looking at the attitude of the master son firm, still according to the speech took a few small servant girls to retreat down.


    Finally, there was no one else in the room. Zhou looked at Yulian and said, "I have a strange disease. To tell you the truth, I have no doubt about it. But I asked the doctor to look at it that time, but I didn''t see anything. If my sister diagnosed something, just let it be clear! "


    Yu Lian sighed and said, "since you know it in your heart, I will not hide it from you. Your symptom is not a disease at all. You are poisoned!"


    Rao is some psychological preparation, but when hearing the truth, Zhou''s face is still pale, she murmured, "sister didn''t deceive me?" The jade lotus soft voice way "we have no injustice have no grudge of, I why painstakingly want to hoodwink you?"


    Almost in a flash, Zhou''s tears burst into his eyes. She covered her mouth with her hand and didn''t let herself cry. Seeing this, she quickly handed over the handkerchief in her hand and said, "if you feel uncomfortable, just cry. It''s good for your body."


    Zhou took the handkerchief, buried his face in the handkerchief and cried out. Yes, lady Lin and she have no grievances and no grudges, so we don''t have to hurt her. Who has a grudge against her? In fact, there is no need to have a grudge, but she got in the way of others! When I think of these days, my mother-in-law is becoming more and more strict with her, but she turns her head to the daughter of a big family in the back street.


    In the past, I didn''t feel anything. I just thought that Xu''s mother-in-law didn''t have a daughter of her own. Seeing that other people''s daughter was clever and sensible, I just boasted a few more words. Now I think something''s wrong. My mother-in-law is always stingy. She even gives her own jewelry to Chang''s daughter one after another. If there''s no other idea, I don''t believe it! In this way, Zhou gradually stopped crying, thinking about it.


    It''s just that it''s not too late to think about it. The most important thing now is your body. So Zhou quickly raised his head and asked, "sister Lin, tell me the truth, is my poison deep? But what else can be done? To tell you the truth, I''m the only one. Isn''t that my life? What are you reluctant to give up! But I still have a pair of children who are still young. If I have one, how can I let them live? "

 Chapter 347

    After listening to Zhou''s words, Yulian quickly comforted, "don''t worry, it''s not as serious as you think. From your pulse and symptoms, I think you are poisoned by bitter almond. And because the dosage is not large, so you''ve survived for such a long time. I''ll write a prescription later, and you can go back and have two or three copies. "


    The bitter almond? If there was still some hesitation at first, then this time, the Zhou family could almost be sure that it was her mother-in-law who had poisoned her. A few days ago, she yelled that eating almonds is good for her health. So Zhou asked people to buy almonds to eat every day, and often let the kitchen make almond syrup to drink. Sometimes when you run into yourself, you often give yourself a hand. Zhou thought that because the almonds were bought for her at her own expense, she felt a little upset and gave herself some to eat. Now I think, this mother-in-law really wants to kill herself!


    I just don''t know. Do you know about it? Thinking that he is always indifferent to himself, maybe he is not necessarily the accomplice of his mother-in-law? Zhou took a deep breath. No matter who did it, she would find justice even if she died!


    She looked up at Yulian and said with a bitter smile, "thank you for telling me the truth. A few days ago, I asked a doctor who was familiar with me nearby to show me. But I didn''t know that doctor was normal. Now it seems that the doctor is not good at medicine, or he has to pay for it! " Zhou''s mouth said so, but he knew that the latter was the most likely. That person has been practicing medicine near her home for decades. How can he not even distinguish such simple poisoning from illness? Or a doctor? I''m not afraid of retribution!


    Yulian patted her hand and said, "I said, this is what I should do. I can''t control other people''s actions. I always have a conscience in doing things. It''s just that I can''t cure my illness. Now that I know the cause of the disease, I''m sure you know it in your mind. You have to think about how to live well in the future. " Zhou some lonely nodded, "I know, sister rest assured, I will not let those who hurt me."


    This interpretation of the prescription are common herbs, jade lotus asked Zhou''s opinion. On the spot, he wrote a prescription, went to Zhuang Shu and asked for these herbs, and personally boiled the antidote for Zhou.


    Seeing that she didn''t look right, leisurely and Zhuang Shu looked at each other and asked, "what''s the matter with Granny Li? Is it serious? "


    The jade lotus sees the servant girls are all outside, low voice way "is not a disease, is poisoned.". I''ll boil her some antidotes first, and I''ll talk to you when she''s gone. " Then he went out with the herbs and the stove.


    She left simply, but her aunt leisurely was suffocated. It''s really worrying to say only half of it. It''s better not to say it!


    Leisurely listening to the word "poisoning", my heart instantly brain fill a house fight drama. She couldn''t help asking, "how do you get along with Granny Li? What kind of concubines do she have at home? "


    Zhuang Shu instantly understood the meaning of the elder sister, but she gently shook her head, "there is only one house in her family, and the deed of sale is still in Granny Li''s hands, so she should not be so bold to murder the master! What''s more, the Li family is poor, and the salary of Mr. Li is limited. Now they all rely on Granny Li''s dowry to support their family''s expenses. She holds all the deeds of sale in her hands. I can''t imagine who would do such a thing? "


    Leisurely, he said to himself, "it can''t be Miss Qian Jin of any family who has taken a fancy to her husband. Do you want to replace her? Or does Granny Li have a concubine or something? "


    Zhuang Shu said with a smile, "my sister thinks so much! Granny Li is the only daughter in the family and has no concubine sister. Li nainiang''s family name is Zhou. She is also a well-known rich family in our hometown. It''s said that I have some relatives with Princess Zhou''s family! When I was in my boudoir, I had a lot of choices, but master Zhou wanted to change the family, so he chose Mr. Li, who had won the examination at that time, as his son-in-law. It is said that Granny Li is also a red makeup when she gets married. It''s so busy! Later, after Mr. Li passed the entrance examination, the matter was praised for a long time by people. Everyone praised the Zhou family for their foresight! "


    After a pause, she said, "but this is just the envy of ordinary people. The world is like this! I''m afraid people with a little family background don''t like Li''s family background. Even if someone reported that he thought the same as master Zhou, he would also search among unmarried young talents. Lord li himself is not very outstanding, and his appearance is average. Who''s the lady who can meet him So it is! After all, the legend of those ladies who are busy with a handsome man has always existed only in the script and drama. Even though the customs of Dakang are relatively open, unmarried women have very few opportunities to get in touch with strange men. I don''t think it''s someone who takes a fancy to Mr. Li.


    At this time, leisurely suddenly thought of the past, so he asked, "last time you gave birth, Mr. Li happened to be in our house. After the event, I always think it''s too coincidental. Has brother Ann mentioned this to you? "


    Zhuang Shu nodded and said, "Xianggong and I have talked about this, and also said that there was too much coincidence in that day. Let me secretly dike Mr. Li, but I didn''t say that sister Zhou had anything bad."


    When I think about Li Wenbo carefully, I always feel that he gives her a very feminine impression. She thought in her heart that Li Wenbo is now well-developed and wants to abandon his wife, but wants to occupy other people''s dowry, so she doesn''t want to leave, but is ready to secretly murder his wife.


    At this time, Zhuang Shu also thought of this, she subconsciously said, "elder sister, do you think that elder sister Zhou''s poison is from adult Li?"


    Leisurely looked into her eyes and said, "it may not be impossible." Zhuang Shu opened her eyes, covered her mouth and said, "shouldn''t it? At least he is a couple in need. Besides, sister Zhou gave him two children


    Leisurely sighed, "are there still a few people in the world who abandon their wives for power?" Even after a thousand years, such incidents happen again and again. Leisurely memory can''t help floating to the previous life, she is in her early 30s and still unmarried, or because she has seen too many tragedies. At that time, half of the married friends were divorced, and half had to make do with it for children or other reasons. Few are really happy!


    So, she was afraid, afraid that she would fall into that end, so she didn''t dare to put in every relationship very much. She felt that the other party was a little insufficient and left in a hurry. Maybe most of the "leftover women" have the same idea with her, so they would rather choose some lonely single life than easily step into the grave of marriage.


    Just did not expect, in this distant and strange parallel space, she can harvest a sincere feelings and a happy family.

 Chapter 348

    When leisurely was wandering there, a little servant girl told her that Zhou would go. They hurried back to the flower hall. Zhuang Shu said with a smile, "sister Zhou, why don''t you take a rest and go again? It''s not too late. I think you look pale. Why hurry for a while?"


    Zhou''s some bleak smile "just drank the medicine, this will already feel much better. There are some things that I want to go back and take care of, so I will stay soon. I really appreciate my sister''s family. This is really... "


    Zhuang Shu came forward and patted her on the shoulder. "Take care of yourself when you go back. The others are empty. Only when you are well can you talk about other things."


    Zhou nodded, "I saved it." Yulian wrapped up the rest of the herbs and handed them to her. "Your symptoms are not serious. Just drink a pair every day. That''s enough. You can take it with you and save the time to go out." Zhou''s gratefully took it, exchanged greetings with leisurely and others, and then went back in the carriage.


    Seeing off the Zhou family, leisurely and others had to discuss this matter. But in the end, it was someone else''s business. After two days of leisurely busy with the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony, I put it in the back of my mind for the time being.


    This day, the Han family sent the next steward Zhang Gui''s family to send festival gifts to leisurely. Because she was an old man in the government, leisurely specially let her into her room and met her in person.


    Zhang Gui''s family wore a new purple dress with two or three gold hairpins on his head and a red gold bracelet inlaid with pearls on his hand. Leisurely asked people to move a stool for her and said with a smile, "Mom hasn''t been here for a long time. How is it always?"


    Zhang Guijia said with a smile, "thanks to grandma, it''s always good. My wife also asked me to take care of grandma. When grandma went that day, she happened to have something to do with going out. She didn''t get to see her. When she was free, she just went to talk. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s right. When my uncle takes a rest, we''ll go over and say hello to my uncle and aunt."


    During the conversation, Liu Ye brought in the tea, first gave leisurely a cup, and then took another cup and personally handed it to Zhang Gui''s "mother, please have tea!"


    Zhang Gui''s family took the cup and said with a smile, "well, it''s so hard for me to let the girl pour the tea for my old lady in person!" Leisurely said with a smile, "what''s the matter, let alone her? Even when I was a child, I learned the rules under my mother''s hands. Let them be more filial to you, young people. Just a few words of advice will be enough for them for most of their lives? "


    This made the flattery of Zhang Gui''s family a little fluttering. Although she was modest in her mouth, she felt at ease in her heart. This remark went to her heart. Isn''t it? Leisurely although it is Gao Ming''s wife now, a few years ago, she was still a girl in the mansion?


    Between talking and laughing, she carefully looked at the willow leaves standing beside leisurely, and saw that although the girl was not first-class in appearance, she was also pretty and lovely, slender and generous in behavior. Now I have some worries in my heart.


    Just outside, another wife of Shen Ze''s colleague came to give gifts in person. She had no choice but to go out to accompany her. Before leaving, she saw that Zhang Gui''s family was talking with Liu Ye, and told her, "mother doesn''t have to leave in a hurry. It''s noon, so she must eat before she leaves. I''ve already ordered the kitchen to prepare my mother''s food. Hello, willow leaf, please greet mother Zhang


    Zhang Gui''s family was just a little careful, so he took advantage of the situation. Liu Ye''s character is simple and young. What''s more, mother Zhang asked about her own affairs. In her mind, she didn''t belong to those affairs that can''t be passed on, so she answered them one by one. The more she listened, the more she liked it. She felt that the girl''s character could match her own boy. After a while, the kitchen really sent a table of dinner. Liu Ye is not good at entertaining Zhang Gui''s family in leisurely room, so she asks her little servant girl to put the table in the East ear room, and asks mother Yang and other elderly mothers to accompany her.


    Leisurely can''t come here because she is with Shen Ze''s wife. She just asks a little servant girl to tell her that Liu Ye will accompany her mother. During the dinner, Zhang Gui''s family inquired about Liu Ye from Yang''s mother. Liu Ye has always been gentle and amiable. Although she is the closest servant girl to leisurely, she never takes big. Naturally, people only praise her. Zhang Gui''s family saw that several people praised her willow leaf''s gentle character, and heard that she had not been engaged, so they were more firm in their mind. As for what everyone said about her going out for her own marriage, Zhang Gui''s subconsciously forgot. In her opinion, these big servant girls are used to the life of rich families. Who is willing to go out for those miserable days again? It''s just that we have to go back and sum it up again. There''s no need to rush for a while. Zhang Gui''s family made up their mind, and now they began to deal with Yang''s mother and others. Poor LiuYe didn''t know at this time that the man in front of her had made up her mind. According to leisurely orders, she was still taking good care of Zhang Gui''s family. He was very diligent in giving her food and wine. If he had known what she thought, he would have turned away.


    Two days later, the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Shen Ze took two days off. They discussed going to the national government in the morning and returning to their mother''s house in the afternoon.


    At the beginning, it was leisurely to take Shen Xi and two boys in a carriage. Who knows that Kangtai boy is envious of his father''s majestic appearance outside on horseback. He immediately yells, "mother, I want to go on horseback like my father." Leisurely pinching his small nose, he retorted, "you are not as high as a horse''s leg. How can you ride a horse?"


    Smell speech, Kang Tai small elder brother is a little not happy, pout a mouth not to talk. Leisurely see eldest son is not happy, immediately think boy, sooner or later to learn this, then soft voice way "OK, you ask your father, if he is willing to carry you, mother will not care."


    After hearing this, Kangtai suddenly revived from the zombie state, and "Teng" sat up, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and yelled to Shen Ze, "Dad, Dad, I want to ride a horse, too." As a man, Shen Ze''s congeniality to his son is much higher. Then he pulled his eldest son out of the window of the carriage and held him in his arms.


    Leisurely good suspension, not scared out of a cold sweat, the moment turned a white eye to Xianggong, "you are too bold, in case of falling the child how to do?"


    Shen Ze doesn''t care much about the smile "is it difficult to be your husband in your eyes, even this little thing can''t be done?" See him a pair of narcissistic unceasing appearance, leisurely not angry spit him for a while, turned to put down the car curtain.

 Chapter 349

    It''s so easy to toss out the naughty eldest son. Kangping stopped after a moment''s purification! When he saw that his brother and father were riding horses outside, he was also very envious, so he pointed to the outside and said intermittently, "Kang Ping riding horses." Leisurely can''t help but help her forehead. Alas, how could she have two stinky boys in a row? If only there was a clever girl among them!


    Look, how old is sister Xi? See little nephew crying, know to help her share! Shen Xi skillfully picked up Xiaokang Ping, teased him with nine links, and put him on his leg to let him jump.


    But Kangping''s weight is not light. Shen Xi soon felt his arm was sore. He took over his little son leisurely and timely. "This boy is calm now!"


    After a while, the whole family went to the government and the second gate. When Han got the news, he had Shen Rong''s wife Wang waiting here. Seeing the leisurely family, Wang quickly came forward and said with a smile, "my sister-in-law is here. My mother has been waiting for a long time."


    Then he looked at leisurely''s two sons and said, "how do you feel when you meet Tigo. It''s brother Ping. I haven''t seen him for a few days, so I''m afraid to recognize him on the road. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s the fastest time for children to grow up when they are so old. I think your sister Hui is not short. "


    Wang married Shen Rong two years ago and has given birth to a daughter named Jin Hui. Originally, it was OK. Although she was a girl, she was the first child of the third generation of the government, and she was also loved by the public. But it didn''t last long. Since Shen Mao''s wife came in and gave birth to a son, Wang felt that his wife''s life was extremely miserable.


    Although Han''s treatment of them was the same as before, Wang obviously felt that it was much more difficult for the servants in the house to give orders. In addition, Shen Mao''s wife, Liu, is used to pinching points. Wang only feels that his life is very hard.


    So after listening to leisurely''s words, she couldn''t help but smile a little disappointed, "what''s wrong with being short? In the end, I''m not better than my younger brother and sister. I have a boy all of a sudden! " With that, I realized that my speech was a little sour, which was not appropriate. At the moment, I laughed awkwardly and said, "it''s my faux pas that makes my sister-in-law laugh."


    Leisurely had a good impression of Wang, so he said, "it''s nothing. Don''t be too nervous on weekdays. How many years have you been married? You''re still young. You''ll have a son sooner or later. I see that sister Hui looks like her father, some of them are male


    Wang quickly echoed, "isn''t it? It''s not that I dislike my husband''s appearance, but a girl''s family has a boy''s appearance. How can it be good to be a big girl? "


    You don''t understand, do you? Not to mention the fact that a girl is getting more and more beautiful when she is 18 years old, the appearance of Huijie is just like that of zhaoyounger brother. I''ll see. Your next child is probably a son! "


    Wang was overjoyed when he heard that "if I do answer my sister-in-law''s request, I must give you a heavy thank you."


    Leisurely smile with shaking his head, "our family''s flesh and blood, say what thank you, this can be a layman!"


    As they talked, they walked forward and soon arrived at the main hall in the backyard. The servant girl lifted the bamboo curtain, and the whole party went in with the servant girl.


    To the house, leisurely first met Han, said a few words of gossip, and let the children to Han salute. Women of Han''s age like to watch children. Busy orders servant girls on fruit snacks, and Shen Xi pulled to his side to inquire.


    At this time, I saw a young woman sitting at the beginning of Han''s family stand up and say with a smile, "I''m too heavy to go out to meet my sister-in-law. Please don''t blame my sister-in-law." This is Shen Mao''s wife, Liu. Leisurely see each other although wearing loose, but the stomach is not really out, estimated that at most three or four months! That''s weight? If you really feel unwell, it''s OK, but it''s not comfortable to see Liu''s face full of spring. Is not to meet outside, always welcome to the door? Leisurely in the heart unavoidably some slightly uncomfortable, but she is still smile cordially asked "sister-in-law hide very tight, on the back did not hear sister-in-law''s good news, this time the body is heavy, visible month is not small, a few months?"


    Wang was listening in to this. Liu gave birth to a son by his own head, and now he is pregnant with a second child. In the town, he is a meritorious official and takes a piece of paper in the house. Tong is only two months pregnant. She wants to have a big family around her. Today is the iron plate, isn''t it? She didn''t think about it. Although this sister-in-law seemed gentle and polite on weekdays, if she didn''t have any means, how could she get to her present position! It''s too much for me to want to take other people''s Joe.


    Indeed, after listening to leisurely meaning, Liu couldn''t help but feel embarrassed. Just in front of Han''s face, in the end did not dare to be very creative, only whispered back "more than two months."


    Leisurely nodded and said with a smile, "yes, the first three months are the most important time. It''s time to be careful. I''m not an outsider. Now that you are pregnant, why are you so polite? Go back to the room and have a rest. There are aunts and sisters here. " Then he said to the two women beside him, "two mothers are not ready to help the fourth grandmother back. There are so many people here. If they accidentally touch the fourth sister-in-law, isn''t it my fault? Go


    Leisurely has been around Han for more than ten years. After she married the Shen family, she often helps han to take care of his family affairs. Therefore, she has accumulated prestige in this house. After listening to her, the two women immediately helped Liu out. Liu immediately felt a little annoyed, these women, usually in front of themselves are extremely high eyed, now even so listen to an outsider''s words! At the moment, some people were not angry and said, "my sister-in-law is really capable, and I don''t know what method she used. She can even move her mother around her. I never dare to think of such a thing. " The words are quite provocative to Han.


    Han was not upset at this, but followed her words and said with a smile, "isn''t it? Your sister-in-law Ze has always been capable. If you can learn from her, you will be able to do it all your life. Well, your sister-in-law is right. Since you are heavy, go back to your own room and have a rest. You don''t have to come here these days. If there''s any more accident, won''t brother Mao blame me for coming back? "


    This is a bit heavy, daughter-in-law to mother-in-law please, every morning and evening to reflect, that is to comply with the etiquette of things. Unless you are really sick and can''t get out of bed, others have nothing to say. Now, I don''t give my mother-in-law any greetings when I''m more than two months pregnant. It''s said that people will only laugh at Liu''s ignorance.


    Liu''s mother did not see her in the eye, immediately some panic.

 Chapter 350

    Han did not like to see his daughter-in-law, and seldom let them wait in front of him on weekdays. In particular, Liu often do things that can''t be put on the table, and his heart is even more disgusted. She''s not her own daughter-in-law, and she''s too lazy to give directions. Just by today''s things to her farther away, save day and night in front of him dangling upset!


    Won the Han''s consent, the two women did not hesitate this time, half push and half pull will Liu out.


    Liu was coaxed away by Han, but Wang didn''t feel very happy. He could not help but feel sad. He became more cautious, for fear that he would offend Tim. Seeing that his mother''s temper was not good, Wang said with a quick smile, "I''ll go to the kitchen to see how the noodles are prepared?"


    Han nodded and said, "go ahead, your sister-in-law loves spicy chicken. Let the chef take the chicken breast of tender Rooster to make spicy diced chicken." Wang busy promised to go down.


    As soon as Wang left, Han said to leisurely, "look at these two, one is like a quail, timid and tight. It''s just like a firefight. I haven''t got any brain yet. If they can have half of your knowledge, I can have an arm


    Leisurely said with a smile, "aunt, you don''t have to worry too much. They are still young. Just adjust them slowly. I watched my younger brother and sister act cautiously, but my heart was not bad, and I could use it. I just heard that she grew up in front of her stepmother. It''s also customary for her to be cautious. My aunt just mentioned it a few times


    Han''s noncommittal "let them go, it''s not my own daughter-in-law, what they say is too heavy to be light, whether they can experience it depends on their own fortune!"


    At this time, Zhang Gui''s family just came back from the outside. He came to reply to Han. When he saw leisurely, he still said hello. Because she has done a good job these days, Han said with a smile, "you''ve been working hard these days. If you have any reward you want, just say it. After this village, there won''t be this shop."


    Zhang Gui''s family didn''t know how to speak. After listening to Han''s words, he said with a smile, "it''s my duty to do these things. I dare not ask for any reward. But as soon as the lady said that, the old slave asked for a favor


    Wen Yan, Han''s pick eyebrow asked "what grace? Just say it. Don''t be so hesitant. "


    Zhang Gui''s family looked at him and said leisurely, "it''s not a slave. It''s just that Granny Ze has to promise." Leisurely, I don''t know what medicine you sell in your gourd. Now I smile and say, "Mom, just say it, but whatever I can do, I won''t refuse."


    Han urged the way "is the LORD said so, you do not hurry." Zhang Guijia''s busy way "the slave girl wants to marry Liu Ye, the big servant girl next to granny Ze, for the boy in her family."


    Hearing this, Han frowned and asked, "why, do you have such a high vision? There are so many servant girls in our family, you don''t have one of them, and you go to the stranger''s house to find your daughter-in-law? "


    Zhang Guijia''s busy smile "it''s not that the maidservant''s eyes are high, it''s that there is no suitable age for these maidservants in the family. In addition, Granny Ze can teach people, and all the servant girls around her are as bright as scallions. The old slave has never looked up to others since she met Miss LiuYe. " Then he looked at leisurely with expectant eyes. "I don''t know if granny Ze is willing to give up her love?"


    Leisurely choked in her heart. She neither agreed nor refused. She just said with a smile, "if someone else falls down, it''s just that LiuYe has been with me for many years. I have already told her that I would let her out for external employment. When she turned 20 last year, I had already returned her deed of sale to her and eliminated her slavery. In other words, now she is a good citizen. I have to go back and ask her what she means. Besides, she has an aunt who has always been close to her. I have to ask her elders what they mean in order to answer her mother. "


    Zhang Gui''s family was a little disappointed. They thought that with their respectability in the government, they would agree on the spot. Unexpectedly, there was such a mistake. She couldn''t refute leisurely''s words, so she said with a strong smile, "grandma is so tolerant and kind to the maid." Leisurely said to Han with a smile, "I also learned from my aunt. If my aunt had not been kind and generous at the beginning, how could I have the dignity I have today?"


    Han patted her hand and said, "you have to be self-motivated. Are there few maids I''ve released in these years? Although most of the days go by, how many can match you In fact, it''s not leisurely and self-improvement. With such an excellent younger brother, leisurely doesn''t marry Shen Ze, and the marriage will not be too bad. Zege''er''s vision is good. He not only has a daughter-in-law of such a powerful family, but also his brother-in-law has made great progress. At a young age, he has become a member of the third class. Even if her brother-in-law wants to have a third grade brother-in-law in the future, it''s not so easy.


    After listening to Han''s words, he said leisurely and sincerely, "I am also entrusted with the blessing of my aunt, adoptive mother and many other elders. I''m deeply favored by her, so now that my servant girls are old, I want to benefit them. As long as I want to go out, I won''t stop it when I get old. They go out to get married. I''m happy to see that they''re living a good life. "


    Han nodded, "you are doing good every day. It''s always good to have this kind heart. I can''t get used to the fact that some women always eat fast, chant Buddhism and copy scriptures to release themselves. They think that this is doing good. I don''t know that it''s better to do less evil things and keep more kindness than anything


    Leisurely said with a smile, "isn''t it? Although my aunt has a hard mouth, she has always been pitying the poor and the weak in her heart. I''ve been around her for many years, and I''ve learned something from her. Just look at my aunt''s present fortune. She has noble status and both children. It is needless to say that Hong Ge''er is a smart girl. Kang Tai often goes back to complain that his uncle is too smart to make him look like a fool. How many of those who were envious of my aunt are now brilliant? Just from my aunt, we can see that good is rewarded with good. It''s always wrong to do more good and accumulate virtue. "


    When the two of them talked about doing good deeds here, Zhang Gui''s family only felt uncomfortable listening. She thought about what her son was. She knew that Granny Zeda had been in the house for many years, and there were always some acquaintances. Don''t let her know about her son.


    No, I have to go out and ask everyone to say good things about their son. Thinking about this, Zhang Gui''s family found an excuse to slip out.

 Chapter 351

    Zhang Gui''s family and the next people in the house exhorted her, and all of them agreed to come down because of her dignity around Han. Zhang Gui''s family has arranged everything, and he is relieved at last.


    Leisurely and Hans say something about home, turn to see Shen Xi sitting on one side of some boring appearance, suddenly remember how this time did not see Shen Xiang. Although Shen Xiang is a girl in the second room, she always comes to gather together when Shen Xi comes. Thinking of this, leisurely asked directly, "why didn''t I see Xiang sister when I came here today?"


    Han said, "Xiang sister''s uncle''s family went to Beijing to report their work and lived in her home. She entertained her cousins at home, so she didn''t have time to come over."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "so it is. That''s about two days ago. Four or five days ago, I went to my second uncle''s house to deliver the Dragon Boat Festival gift. I haven''t seen any foreigners yet. "


    Han said with a smile, "isn''t it? I originally sent someone to pick up Xiang''s sister early this morning. Who would like to come back and say that her uncle''s family came and arrived yesterday afternoon. She''s the only legitimate daughter in her family, and it''s really hard for her to go out. "


    Leisurely return a way "this pour also nothing, horizontal vertical later have the opportunity to see!"


    Han gently shook his head. "It''s ok now. When we get out of national filial piety, it''s time for this girl to be 17 years old. It''s time to see each other. In a few years, I''m going out of the house. No matter how close I am, my mother and daughter can''t meet each other every day, let alone my aunt. "


    This is true. Take leisurely as an example. Is it close to your mother''s home? There is no restriction from her mother-in-law. She just goes back everyday. There is a rumor that she has moved all the Shen family''s belongings to her mother''s home. This is really irritating! Thanks to her no mother-in-law I, Xianggong is a sensible and open-minded, or how to live this day?


    However, it''s not easy to say this directly, so she followed Han''s words and advised, "sister Xiang has always been a filial child. Even if she becomes a parent, she won''t forget your aunt. If you really don''t want to give up, you can wait for two months. I''ll help her to have a look at each other and find a family closer to her, so that she can visit you more often


    Han''s angry look at her, "do you still need to say that? Alas, it''s not good to raise a daughter like this. It''s so easy to pull her up. She''s as beautiful as a flower, sensible and considerate as a child. She''s going to be married to other people''s families. It''s uncomfortable to think about it. Before Xiang''er gets married, she can stay here for a few days to accompany me. As soon as she gets out of the pavilion, it''s still too early for brother Hong to get married. I don''t know what it''s like to be lonely here? "


    Just at this time, Wang came back. She was still carrying her daughter Jin Hui with a nurse behind her. Wang went back to the luncheon first, then looked at her daughter and said with a smile, "the child wakes up and has to make trouble to see me. The nurse takes her to find me, and I just bring her here to greet my mother, sister-in-law, younger sister and younger brothers."


    With that, nanny takes Huijie in her arms and goes to the crowd to salute and say hello one by one. She comes to leisurely. Leisurely see this child born white tender, can''t help but feel happy, laughing to tease her a few times. The little girl stares at her big round eyes. She doesn''t cry and laugh when someone teases her. Her mouth, which is not full of teeth, can''t help being "toothless and obscene". The nurse helped her wipe off the handkerchief.


    Leisurely reaches out and hugs her. Sister Hui feels that she is not familiar with the person in front of her. She looks leisurely up and down with her eyes. When she saw the colorful tassels of tourmaline fluttering down her temples, she reached for them directly. Wang is about to stop, but leisurely has already reached out to take off the tassel and put it around in front of her. Huijie reaches for it, but leisurely won''t let her get it. She just turned Hui''s little mouth and looked like she was about to cry.


    Leisurely, seeing that the little girl was going to be annoyed by herself, she quickly handed her step to Huijie and said with a smile, "good girl, don''t cry. My aunt is teasing you. Here you are. Take it and play with it."


    Wang quickly declined and said, "don''t be like this, sister-in-law. How can she use such valuable things when she is so big?"


    Without waiting to speak leisurely, Han retorted, "OK, since your sister-in-law wants to be generous, let her go. Who wants her to recruit our sister Hui? Sister Hui is small now, but she will be big in two years? You''ll need it sooner or later. Don''t let her hurt yourself, as long as the servant is good at watching Seeing that her mother-in-law said so, Wang had to answer. With that, Han picked up a strawberry on the table and said to Huijie, "Huijie, come to grandma."


    Such a big child has no resistance to food. When he sees this, he shakes his steps and throws them. Then he opens his arms to earn money from Han. Fortunately, the nanny who held her had the experience and caught the step with one hand. Otherwise, if she fell on the ground, she would need a small amount of beads.


    Han holds Huijie in her arms and feeds her with strawberries. Huijie sits there quietly, nibbling at her hand bit by bit. Strawberry juice along Han''s hand flow down, next to the maid quickly took the PA to her past to wipe, good hanging did not drop to the clothes.


    Wang Shi of one side sees this, not from dry smile way "mother, still give her to me, this kid doesn''t know dirty net, don''t make your clothes dirty again."


    Han shook his head and said, "isn''t it just a dress? What''s the big deal? It''s not like I haven''t brought a child. Can I know what a child looks like? Look at our sister Hui. How clever she is? Is that right? "


    More than ten months old, the child can already recognize Hao Lai. When Han praised her like this, sister Hui quickly nodded her head. He only amused Han with "look how clever our sister Hui is?" Next to the maid mother-in-law who naturally follow make do fun, is to see his daughter-in-law''s love is also very happy.


    In leisurely impression, she has not seen Han smile so happy for a long time. Looking at Huijie''s innocent face, I can''t help sighing that the most touching things are always the purest and most primitive things. It''s just a pity that she is going to take advantage of her innocence today.


    After thinking about it, she said with a smile, "didn''t my aunt just say that Xiang''er was a little lonely when she was old? Since sister Hui is so congenial to you, why don''t you keep her by your side? "


    Leisurely this words a, flower hall inside suddenly quiet down. In fact, Han did not have such an idea. It''s just that Jin Hui is the daughter of a concubine and the first child of Wang. Han was afraid that he would make the couple unhappy again, so he didn''t say anything. I just didn''t expect that leisurely, who has never been involved in the affairs of the government, would put forward such a proposal in public.


    In any case, leisurely all said this, and she didn''t have to worry too much. At the moment, he said with a smile, "I''m not reluctant. I just don''t know if Rong''s daughter-in-law is willing to give up?"


    Wang replied with a quick smile, "my mother''s daughter-in-law is scared. It''s her blessing that Huijie can support her mother. What can I give up? Mother, it''s not like she''s in a tiger''s den. I can see her here every day. I can''t bear to see her any more. " Although the heart is so a bit reluctant to give up, but Wang''s heart is very clear that the daughter can be raised in her mother''s side, only good for her. Not to mention the value of Han''s identity, it''s just her means of insight. If her daughter can learn a point, it will be enough for her life in the future!


    Just look at the cousin Xiang of the second room and sister Xi of today. They''ve been around their mother-in-law. Which one won''t overwhelm a large number of expensive girls?


    Han was surprised to see Wang''s cheerfulness. She was also worried that the weak daughter-in-law would cry in public. She didn''t expect that she would agree simply. Han said with a smile, "now that you have agreed, you can''t go back on your promise. I''ll clean up the room for her. After the Dragon Boat Festival, you have to send people to me."


    Wang said with a quick smile, "mother, don''t worry. I''ll go back and pack things for her in a moment. It''s OK to let her stay here tonight. "


    Han said with a smile, "you don''t have to worry. You have to talk to Rong Ge''er. Besides, you don''t have time to pack up. It''s time for lunch. If you''re not here to serve your mother-in-law and sister-in-law, do you want to be lazy? " In the past, Han would not speak harshly with her, but there were few times when she spoke softly. Although there was a sense of ridicule in this remark, there was a sense of closeness in it, which made Wang feel lucky for his decision. She raised her head and looked gratefully at leisurely who was talking with Shen Xi. Leisurely was aware of it. She turned her head to Wang''s eyes and returned a smile.


    Then, he lowered his eyebrows and took a sip of tea from the tea cup on the table. The tea has been kept for a short time, and now it''s a little cold. Leisurely just a sip, put down the cup, put the tea in the mouth for a short time, and finally swallowed it. As soon as the tea cools, the original sweet fragrance will be greatly reduced, and the moment of swallowing it will only fill the whole mouth with a light bitter. But just a moment later, there was a rush of sweet back to the throat.


    Leisurely light smile, this life is like tea, always have to experience some pain to taste sweet. No matter she used to be a servant girl or married later, she was very happy all the way. Only she knew how much hardship she had. Some people think that relying on pregnancy can step on her face to glorify themselves, it also depends on whether they agree or not.


    If you really think that all the glory she has today is just because of her "good fortune", then Liu''s looks down on her! In fact, leisurely knows that it''s not just Liu. I''m afraid many people in this mansion think so. Especially those maids, I''m afraid they are thinking that they are the same maidservants. How can they be so lucky and fly to the sky, and they still have to live here in a humble way. Although these people respect her on the face, they are afraid that they look down on her.


    But it doesn''t matter! Leisurely thinking in my heart, you don''t need to know how I rise to the top. You just need to know that today I am not what you people can neglect at will.

 Chapter 352

    And said that Liu''s mother-in-law by the side of the two women are half coerced back to their own yard. And in front of so many servants, Han didn''t worry about her face, which made Liu feel humiliated.


    After going back, I happened to meet a dowry girl beside me. Cui Xi came out of Shen Mao''s study with a scarlet complexion. My heart is even more furious. At the moment, I found one at random, not to let Cuixi kneel down in the yard. At this time, the sun was rising, and the bluestone slabs in the yard were hard and cold. Cui Xi used to be the master''s servant girl. She was always like a vice lady. How could she ever suffer like this? After a while, she couldn''t support herself. She fell on her knees and cried for mercy.


    Pregnant women are already irritable, and today Liu''s family is suffering from a lot of cowardice. At this time, she is even more irritable. He ordered to stop Cui Xi''s mouth and ignore her. Who knows, after a while, Shen Mao, who was hiding in his study, could not hold his breath. He came in and said, "OK, you''ve made her kneel for a long time. As a master mother, how can she not even measure this? Isn''t that sleeping with the maid beside you? What''s the big deal? Is it interesting that everyone knows what they have to do? " After that, he looked at her stomach and said, "you should have arranged a room for me when you are pregnant. Mother doesn''t want to interfere in our room affairs, and you can''t neglect me like this!"


    After hearing this, Liu suddenly became angry and said harshly, "how can I neglect you? When I was pregnant with my eldest brother, I gave you a whole room? Plus your own original fiber cloud, not satisfied? An old man doesn''t want to make progress all day long. He is good at hooking up with a little servant girl. If you are really generous enough to tell me, I can''t give it to you. I''ll just fool around like this. It''s really contemptible! "


    Shen MaoYuan is a very sensitive person. After reading books for so many years, he only got a scholar. In this talented Shen family, he can''t stand out. There was no achievement in the imperial examination, and he was not as good as his third brother Shen Rongji in the common affairs, so he always felt that he was inferior to others everywhere. Usually, however, he couldn''t listen to his words. Now after listening to Liu''s words, Shen Mao said angrily, "you bitch! Say it again


    Liu is also angry. How can we see that Xianggong is wrong? At the moment, he said, "I look down on you!" Shen Mao slapped him in the face before his voice fell.


    Shen Mao is also a person who has practiced riding and shooting. This slap directly swells half of Liu''s face. Liu covered the place where he was beaten. After a moment of stupefaction, he cried out, "Shen Mao, how dare you hit me? You have no conscience! I''ll fight with you. "


    Then he threw himself on Shen Mao''s body and began to beat him. Shen Mao felt regretful after beating him, so he just stayed in the same place and let Liu''s hair fall.


    Originally, Liu''s vent, Shen Mao to accompany a careful, this matter refers to the past. But a servant girl came in and said, "go back to the fourth master and the fourth grandmother. It''s not good. Cuixi has shed a lot of blood there. Look, look... It''s like a miscarriage! "


    On hearing this, Liu''s heart suddenly felt sad. She was angry for several times today. This meeting suddenly pouted under the surge of Qi and blood.


    But Liu''s mother is a coward. She only knows how to cry, and she can''t help at all. But Shen Mao had no choice but to arrange for someone to go to the imperial doctor and send someone back to Han. Let the two women carry Cuixi to the room.


    Han suddenly got the little girl Hui as her companion. She was very happy and was about to ask leisurely to have lunch with her. But at this time, the servant came to report that it was the fourth master and the fourth grandmother who somehow quarreled, and the fourth grandmother fainted.


    Although Han didn''t like to see the fourth daughter-in-law very much on weekdays, she was still pregnant. At this time, I heard that she fainted. I was afraid that something might happen to her, so I got up to look there. Leisurely and Wang are naturally not easy to stay away from, only Shen Xi, the girl in the boudoir, is not convenient to contact such occasions, so she is left to look after several children.


    When they got to Shen Mao''s yard, they first saw the blood in the middle of the yard. A strong smell of blood came to their faces. Don''t say Han, is leisurely heart is also "clattering" for a while, Liu won''t be abortion, right? Although she was angry with Liu''s arrogance, she didn''t involve the child''s psychology. Han''s heart is also a little uneasy, if it is really out of life, the reputation of their government is not good. So quickly into the room, to see Liu although pale eyes closed lying in bed, but there is no smell of blood in the room, we know that things are not as bad as imagined.


    Seeing her coming, Shen Mao went forward to greet her with some embarrassment and said, "please greet your mother. It''s all the son''s recklessness that caused a great disaster. He also asked your mother to punish her."


    Han said, "I don''t know what''s going on, but I don''t know why I want to punish you? What''s the matter with you


    Seeing that the third sister-in-law and the Tang sister-in-law were also coming, Shen Mao felt a little embarrassed, but he could not care about his face now, so he had to say it all over again.


    After listening, Han angrily picked up the feather duster on the table and threw it at Shen Mao. Shen Mao didn''t dare to move. He knelt there and got this. The handle of the feather duster just hit him on the shoulder. Shen Mao suddenly "hissed" in pain.


    Seeing him like this, Han only felt that he was not angry. "Do you know the pain? Ah? You are so capable of beating your wife! When did our loyal government have such a tradition? Not to mention your daughter-in-law is now pregnant with six armour, it''s time to be careful, even if it''s the usual couple mix a mouth, you can''t do it! What''s more, today''s incident is that you are unreasonable. A man steals his daughter-in-law''s servant girl. Is it a glorious thing? "


    Shen Mao knew that he was wrong, so he didn''t dare to reply. He just kowtowed and pleaded guilty.


    Han scolded and felt a little happier. Then he frowned and said, "OK, don''t kowtow there. How can you go out tomorrow? You get up first. It''s your daughter-in-law you''re sorry for. When your daughter-in-law wakes up, go with her! " Then he looked at him and said, "what are you doing there? Why don''t you go out and have a look? Why hasn''t this doctor been invited? "


    Smell speech, Shen Mao quickly promised to go out.


    Han sighed helplessly and said to leisurely, "look, one by one, there is no time to stop." With that, he got up and went to the inner room.

 Chapter 353

    Liu is still in a coma, maybe because of her discomfort, her eyebrows have been locked.


    Seeing her like this, she sighed leisurely in her heart. Alas, maybe she is not suitable for the whole person by nature. This post move is not useful yet. Liu tosses herself like this. She doesn''t know whether the child in her stomach is stable or not. How can she let it go again?


    At this time, leisurely saw a layer of cold sweat on Liu''s forehead, saw a red and swollen palm print on her pale face, and immediately felt that she was particularly pitiful. Liu''s servant girls did not know where they had gone. There was no one to wait on them. Only a wet nurse and an eight or nine year old maid were left to cry.


    Leisurely and helpless, he took out his handkerchief and sat down by Liu''s bed to help her wipe the sweat on her forehead. After wiping, she was just about to get up, and suddenly smelled a bloody smell. She quickly opened the quilt and saw that the skirt under Liu''s body had a little red plum. She suddenly exclaimed, "no, the fourth sister-in-law is bleeding. Hurry to see if the doctor is coming!"


    Han and Wang saw that Liu''s lower body was bleeding. They both knew that things were not good. They quickly asked people to urge the imperial doctor. After a while, a servant girl ran in and said to Han, "madam, it''s not good. Lady Feng fell down in the palace. All those who are good at gynecology in Taihu hospital were called to the palace. The rest of the doctors are not willing to consult. The fourth master has gone out to find a doctor nearby, but he doesn''t know when he will come back. "


    On hearing this, Han and Wang looked at each other and felt that it was difficult to do good. But leisurely smell speech busy said to willow leaf "quick, arrange two feet fast small Si, go to Chen Gonggong''s home to pick up the cousin." Liu Ye sees that the situation is urgent, and goes out in person to find the boy who comes with her family to order the matter.


    Mr. Chen''s house is close to the Forbidden City, just not far from here. But in two quarters of an hour, Yulian came in with her medicine box.


    Han knew Yulian''s medical skills. Seeing that she still had to salute, he quickly helped her up and said, "it''s time for us to talk about these empty rites. My daughter-in-law is very troublesome. "


    The jade lotus nods, "madam, don''t worry, jade lotus should devote herself." Then he went to Liu''s bed and sat down. After breathing steadily, he began to pulse her.


    After the end of the pulse, the jade lotus long Shu a airway, "delay is not too long, can also cure." Then Fang took out his silver needle, lifted the quilt and pricked a few needles into Liu''s body.


    Han and others saw the bleeding of Liu''s lower body gradually stopped, and they began to recite Buddhism in their hearts.


    At this time, Yulian asked Liu''s nurse to bring clean clothes. Personally, gently changed the skirt on Liu''s body. The mattress is also stained with a lot of blood, but Liu''s current situation is not suitable for too much moving. Therefore, only a few layers of soft Songjiang cloth were placed under her body. Then she told him, "although she has stopped bleeding now, she is very weak now and can''t stand any trouble. During this month, you must stay in bed and keep the fetus. You can''t get out of bed and walk around. Otherwise, the fetus may be lost. "


    Liu''s mother nodded as she listened. Finally, she blushed and said, "I don''t know your mother''s surname? No, when grandma wakes up, she will give birth and thank her


    Yulian looked at leisurely with a smile and said, "I''m the cousin of your grandmother Ze. You call me lady Lin. As for what to thank or not, there is no need to say. They are all relatives, and they don''t have to care about it. "


    Just now, most of the prescriptions made by Yulian were tonics, and there were all kinds of tonics in the drug storehouse of the government. So after a while, the old lady took the herbs. The jade lotus took the hand to smell and then looked, the square enjoined a way "don''t have to boil too long, the water boiled, boil on a quarter of an hour."


    Han saw Liu''s yard with no one in the girl, can not help but frown. She has been immersed in this deep courtyard for so many years. Today, when she ponders the matter, she feels that there is something wrong. Han, the maid in the yard, felt that none of them could be trusted, so she turned to Caizhu and said, "go and cook medicine for the fourth grandmother in person." Caizhu agreed to go out. After a while, Caizhu came in with the decoction, and several servant girls poured it down to her. Han and others saw that Liu''s face gradually stabilized after drinking the medicine, and they were no longer frowning. They were relieved at last.


    Such a big movement, marquis Shen in the front yard was also shocked, and sent his servants to ask. Han said to the boy, "go back and tell the Lord that there is no big deal. It''s just a quarrel between the two. I''m a little angry. Now I''m fine." Today, it''s better to turn big things into small ones. It''s not good for the government.


    At the moment, Han looked around the room and said in a deep voice, "pass on the words. No one can talk about it today. If you have any false opinions, you should beat the 20 boards first, and then send them to Zhuangzi to do hard labor. " People were busy and silent.


    At this time, a servant girl with hesitation and hesitant voice rang up, "but, but Cui Xi sister also lost her child, and now she is still behind. I don''t know what to do?"


    Han looked at the servant girl and suddenly said with a low smile, "what''s your name? How old is this year? Where do you serve? "


    The servant girl bowed her head and said, "I''m 18 years old. I''m the second-class servant girl in this yard. I''m the son of our family."


    Smell speech, Han suddenly sneer way "when a servant girl also can know the small production such thing?"? Do you have any experience? " A word blocked little cicada dare not speak, a small face rose red.


    Then, Han looked at the servant girls in the room and said, "you all remember, Cuixi, the servant girl just caught cold and came for a small day ahead of time. How can she have a miscarriage? Don''t be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives! It''s not a good thing to spread false information! "


    Voice just fell, outside Shen Mao was sweating with a doctor all the way trot over. Han quickly let leisurely and others with big servant girls to avoid to the west between the screen, he only took a few women and little girl in the house to meet.


    As soon as the doctor came in, Han first said with a smile, "because my daughter-in-law''s illness is urgent, and I haven''t found a doctor for a while and a half, so I asked a well-trained female member of my relatives to help me with the diagnosis and treatment. Now that the doctor is here, I''d like to trouble you for a further visit. "


    The doctor is not very old. He is only about thirty, but he is very open-minded. Now he said with a smile, "it''s also human nature. In fact, I''m not very good at it with gynecology. It''s just that the uncle in your family must drag me. Now that I''m here, I have to give the patient a pulse. It''s not a waste of time. "

 Chapter 354

    If we change to a doctor with a slightly stronger temper and hear that the master has already found another doctor, I''m afraid he would have turned around and left long ago. The young doctor doesn''t care much about this. Han praised in the heart, thought that this person regardless of medical skills, this attitude is excellent.


    The doctor sat down on the stool in front of the bed when his breath was stable. Just after the doctor got into the yard for a short time, a servant girl put down the bed tent. The doctor sat here. Liu''s nurse covered her hand with a silk handkerchief and took it outside the bed tent.


    The doctor held his breath for a while, changed his pulse to another hand, and said with a smile, "it seems that your house is inviting a skilled doctor. This grandmother used to have the appearance of slippery fetus, but now she is in danger. However, in the future, we should be very careful not to let pregnant women get angry and sad again. It is necessary to stay in bed for a rest in one or two months. "


    Listening to what the doctor and Yulian said, Han was finally relieved. Shen Mao knew this time that someone had come to treat his wife, but he didn''t ask much in front of the doctor. Just ask again "so, does wife need to reoccupy some kind of antipyretic?"


    The doctor shook his head and said with a smile, "I guess the fourth grandmother has already drunk the tocolysis medicine. There is still a smell of medicine in this room. I think the doctor''s skill should be very good. Now the fourth grandmother''s pulse is very stable. And since the other party is a married woman, it''s more detailed than what I''m looking at. Fourth master Shen just does what this man says. "


    Shen Mao Baoquan way "so, thank you for coming here." The doctor said with a smile, "yes, it''s the duty of a doctor to cure and save people! Since the fourth grandmother is not in any serious trouble, I will stay here soon. "


    Shen Mao said, "I''ll see the doctor off." Then he sent the doctor out. Although he didn''t use other people''s prescription, he still got a red seal of ten Liang silver.


    Here, Shen Mao sent the doctor away. Leisurely waiting for talent to flash out from behind the screen, Han stepped forward, took Yulian''s hand and said, "I''m really bothering you today. If you delay this meeting, I don''t know what the situation is." Yulian said with a smile, "it''s just a coincidence. I followed my cousin''s car to the neighborhood early this morning. If I was still at home, I couldn''t come so fast."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s the fourth younger brother and sister who are blessed with her baby." Everyone nodded when they heard the words.


    Wang also heard the doctor''s words just now, and knew that the elder sister of Tang Sao had good medical skills, and now she also meant to make friends. Women, especially when they become relatives, always feel uncomfortable. It''s very important to make friends with a woman doctor who knows both medical skills and basic knowledge. At present, she also takes the initiative to talk with Yulian.


    At this time, a woman came in from outside and said a few words in Han''s ear. Han sighed and said to Yulian, "one thing doesn''t bother the two masters. Just now a girl fainted. Please go and have a look at her."


    Yulian has already guessed some clues from the affairs just now, but she has already formed a posture of not being surprised. After listening to Han''s words, he said with a smile, "since women believe me, I will try my best." Finish saying, with that woman son went out of the room, early have small servant girl to rush to help her carry medicine box to follow behind.


    After about a quarter of an hour, Yulian came back here. She said with a faint smile, "she has already prescribed a prescription. She has suffered some cold. It''s better for her to have some soup for a few days. It''s better not to see the wind in this month."


    There are not a few idiots in the room. Yulian''s words are vague, but whose family has been in the cold for a month? In the end is a life, although Han disdain Cui Xi from the humble behavior, but still ordered a woman to take care of her.


    After seeing the doctor off, Shen Mao turned back. Seeing that the house was full of young women, he stood outside the door.


    Han looked at the sky and said with a smile, "look, what time is it? We''ve been tossing about for most of the day. Let''s go ahead and have a meal first. " Then he called Shen Mao over and said, "your daughter-in-law is so easy to settle down. You can''t make her angry again. Well, it''s up to you to take care of it. Once she wakes up, let me know. " Shen Mao was very busy, because the relationship was really a little far away. They were young men and women, and they were not so cheap. Han didn''t introduce Yulian to him, and Shen Mao couldn''t run to a strange woman''s family to be rude. So he asked his mother to say, "I heard that my daughter-in-law got out of danger safely thanks to the help of sister-in-law Ze''s cousin. My mother expressed her gratitude on behalf of her son."


    Han nodded, "OK, I know about it." With that, he took all the people to the front.


    Tao Liang came with Yu Lian. As soon as he arrived at the mansion, he was taken by the servant to find Shen Xi. Shen Xi went to the back to see the lotus. She thought the sun was too big outside. He was playing Tangram on the Kang. As soon as Tao Liang looked up, he saw his mother coming far away from the edge of the window and jumped down the Kang. The servant girl beside didn''t wait to react. Taoliang ran to Yulian and grabbed her arm, shouting, "Niang, why have you been there for such a long time?".


    Yulian took her little hand and pointed to her forehead. "You''re naughty again. Don''t you see these people? I don''t know. Please say hello


    Han said with a smile, "children, it''s just these things that are more lively. I''ve only heard of it in the past. I''ll see you for the first time. What''s the name again? " Tao Liang said with a smile, "if I go back to my wife, my name is Tao Liang. I''m five years old." With that, he made a decent salute.


    When she finished the ceremony, Yulian taught her, "this is zhengyigaoming. You should be called Madam."


    Han quickly waved his hand and said, "they are all relatives of his own. Don''t worry too much. It''s good to call his wife. He seems sincere."


    Then, Yulian let taoliang meet Wang.


    In the meantime, the crowd had already arrived at the flower hall. Han went to the first seat, and the maid had already brought a meeting gift. It was a pair of silver burnt blue inlaid agate Dragonfly hairpin and a crystal gold bead wreath that Han ordered in person.


    Han said to Yulian with a smile, "let''s play with them."


    The jade lotus sees that the two kinds of jewelry are all dazzling appearance, can''t help but refuse a way "madam is too polite, these two things are so precious, how can she bear?"


    Han waved his hand and said, "OK, needless to say, it''s just two kinds of trinkets. It''s just right for a little girl to wear, or it''s just for nothing."


    Seeing that his mother was so generous, Wang was glad that he had a few gadgets with him. Then he took off a jade carving flower and Bird Pendant he was wearing on his waist and handed it to Tao Liang. He said, "I can''t compare with the thickness of his mother''s private room. The sculptor of this jade pendant is OK. Let''s play with it."

 Chapter 355

    Yulian is not good at refuting Wang''s face, so she has to accept it with a smile. Fortunately, Wang''s daughter is also here, and her kindness can be returned immediately. At the moment, he just bought a set of gold collars and bracelets from the silver house and handed them to him. "It''s not a valuable thing. Please don''t give up the third grandma." Seeing her insistence, Wang had to accept it with a smile.


    This set of gold collars was bought by Yulian for her niece''s first birthday. Her mother''s sister-in-law gave birth to a girl in her thirties last year, which finally added a daughter to the third generation of her mother''s family. Now I have to support the scene from time to time, and I will buy another one later.


    I witnessed the leisurely scene and sighed in my heart. It''s a very troublesome thing to give gifts back and forth in ancient times. It''s just that everyone does it. If you don''t do as the Romans do, you can only be isolated.


    When he left in the afternoon, Han asked someone to prepare a generous gift for Yulian. Jade lotus hastily rebuffes a way "the madam is like this but break evil me, is just an idea small matter, which is worth the madam so kind treatment?"


    Han patted her hand with a smile and said, "you just take it with ease. In a few days, you will be expected to come to see the fourth daughter-in-law again. What''s more, if you accept my things and I have a hot head to invite you in the future, would you like to come? "


    Yulian said with a smile, "look what the lady said. Even if I don''t give anything, I''ll be there immediately after you say hello."


    Han said with a smile, "it''s better to take it." Leisurely in the side to persuade a way "since aunt''s a piece of mind, elder sister accept it." In this way, the jade lotus just received a thousand thanks.


    When they went back, taoliang and Shen Xi took a carriage. Kang Ge''er thinks it boring to go home, so he just stays in the government and plays with Shen Hong. Pingge''er was leisurely held in his arms. He got on the carriage and soon fell asleep. Leisurely put him in the sleeping basket of the car, and gently fanned him with the fan in his hand.


    After a long silence, Yulian suddenly sighed and said, "sometimes I''m really tired of dealing with these big families. There are too many dirty facts in it. But sometimes I can''t avoid it. "


    Leisurely listen to her tone is particularly depressed, after thinking for a moment, asked "what''s the matter? But the servant girl you treated is not good? "


    "Is it not only bad? The servant girl is pregnant and has done something she shouldn''t do. I heard that she has been kneeling on the stone slab in the yard for a long time. She hasn''t been cured in time after miscarriage. It''s hard to get pregnant in the future. "


    Leisurely comforted, "you are a doctor. When you see that the patient is not in good health, you are naturally worried and sad. But after all, this servant girl is also responsible. I secretly asked my former acquaintances that this servant girl was the dowry servant girl beside the fourth grandmother, and she used to be valued by the fourth grandmother. But who ever thought that she would hook up with her uncle behind her master''s back? It''s her revenge for betraying the Lord. "


    Yu Lian sighed again, "you''re right. After all, she doesn''t respect herself. Well, it''s hard for a woman to do this. "


    Leisurely also said with emotion, "yes, so we have to live a good life. Now, you''re not so tight. If you really don''t want to go out to see a doctor in the future, you can push it. " Although Yulian didn''t talk to her directly, she helped her to buy several shops and a small Chuang Tzu with an area of about 200 mu in recent years. These alone cost five or six thousand taels of silver, which can almost catch up with the family background of ordinary small official families.


    Yulian nodded, "I think so, too. I used to be short of money, so I couldn''t do that. Now I have plenty of money. I want to spend more time with my children. I haven''t been able to live with taoliang for the past two years. That day, I suddenly saw that my daughter could make a purse, and then I realized that my mother''s dereliction of duty. "


    Leisurely replied, "I see that Tao Liang is a sensible child. He will understand your difficulties. How can a mother and daughter get married? Isn''t she still clinging to you? "


    At this time, the wheel of the carriage happened to run over a big pit, and the body shook violently. Pingge''er felt uncomfortable in his sleep, half asleep and half awake, so he threw his little mouth and began to cry. Leisurely quickly hugged him in his arms, quietly coaxed him for a long time, then coaxed him to sleep, and he was almost home. Leisurely didn''t put him in the basket, and carried him to the door. After getting out of the carriage, Yulian pointed to the two boxes she had brought back from the Chen family and said, "this is a gift from father-in-law Chen and Lady Chen to your family. Let someone carry it directly to your house."


    It turns out that Yulian today''s all to Chen Gonggong''s home, is leisurely entrusted. One is that the Chen family sent some things to him a few days ago, but they didn''t return any gifts. The other is that they went to visit Mr. Chen''s recovery. This matter, leisurely oneself go of words some too prick an eye, let the servant go again feel some disrespect. Leisurely knows that eunuchs themselves are extremely sensitive because of their health, so they always hold Chen Jiang in their hands. After a thousand thoughts, she let Yulian go for herself. At the beginning, Chen and Yulian lived in the same yard, and they were more familiar than others.


    Leisurely see that the two big boxes are not small, can not help but wry smile way "originally is to return a gift, you bring back these unexpectedly heavier than return a gift, this can be difficult to me."


    Yulian said with a smile, "I just think too much when I look at you. Although Mr. Chen has not been on duty yet, he will be the eunuch of sanpindu and the red man beside the emperor. In this new year''s festival, there are lots of people fawning on each other. The good things are sent to his home by car. His family doesn''t lack these things, and I''m grateful that you''ve helped others a lot. It''s also human nature to send you some ideas to show respect. Just accept them with ease. "


    Leisurely help forehead sigh way "good good good, what you say is all right, all listen to you." After going back, I sent some valuable things to the warehouse, and then divided some materials, food and other things.


    After a little rest, I went to the kitchen to see the cooks wash and soak the glutinous rice for tomorrow''s dumplings. Although each family will pack some by themselves, several close families always have to send each other. In particular, leisurely home package of zongzi fragrance sticky tough, loved by relatives.


    As usual, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, there will be dragon boat races. In the past two years, there have been many accidents in the palace. For a long time, there has been no such activity in the capital. This year, there is no prince''s national filial piety, and naturally there is no dragon boat race, which disappoints the people in the capital and its surrounding areas who like to join in the fun.


    There was a young man who didn''t know how to be important, and he muttered in private, "why should the prince be filial when he dies? Really, we are not allowed to marry a daughter-in-law or race a dragon boat. What else can we do in these days? " Before the voice fell, he was blocked up by the people beside him.


    The Dragon Boat Festival is coming quietly. Early in the morning, leisurely people will pack the cooked rice dumplings in delicate food boxes while they are hot, and send them to several close families one by one. People will also return some of their own dumplings and other things, in short, it is a reciprocity ah!

 Chapter 356

    When Liu woke up, she learned from the nurse that it was leisurely that she had found someone to save her own child, and she was not without remorse. If you want to say how many bad hearts she has, it''s just that she was spoiled in her mother''s family. She was used to fighting all the time. After she got married, Han didn''t bother to teach her. That''s how she developed this temperament.


    After this incident, she almost lost all the children in her stomach. At least she knew why she was converging. It is also said that leisurely just mentioned a word in front of Han, and Han brought up the third room''s sister Hui. Her heart was filled with remorse. No matter how silly she was, she knew what it meant for her mother to keep her son''s children by her side.


    Liu couldn''t help blaming himself. After listening to the gossip of some villains, he thought that sister-in-law Ze had just climbed up the Shen family by some shady means. Only by the fact that Hans ignored herself for her sake that day, we can see that this is absolutely not true. Fortunately, things are not at their worst. Liu''s side chagrin, let the servant girl pick up two gifts, let his wet nurse personally sent to the Shen family.


    Leisurely saw the thing that Liu Shi sent to pour is a little surprised, did not expect this Liu Shi to change a face to become also quite fast. She laughed and talked with Liu''s nurse for a long time, asked about Liu''s recent situation, and said some auspicious words. When she left, she also picked up some supplements for the nurse to take back to Liu.


    Of the two gifts, one belongs to Yulian. Yulian looked at the things and said with a smile, "I originally wanted to be lazy, but now I''ve received so many gifts. It seems that I can''t say much if I don''t go to see the patients any more."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "what''s the point? You can go if you want. I have something to do tomorrow. Let''s work together in the future. Last time, mother Zhang wanted to marry LiuYe for her son. Although I was asked about it, everyone agreed, but I promised to let LiuYe out. The boy in her family is still a servant of Shen family. If Liu Ye follows him, won''t he become a slave again? But I''m not willing to


    Yulian nodded and said, "isn''t it? Liu Ye''s character and appearance, when she goes out to be a grandmother, is really buried in her ration to a little boy. "


    Leisurely said, "that''s why I want to make a detailed inquiry in the mansion. If Zhang Jia is a promising man, I can also consider it."


    Two days later, they went to the government. It happened that Han was not at home, and Wang came out to receive them. "Unfortunately, my mother went to visit Princess Chang today. My sister-in-law didn''t say hello when she came


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it was nothing serious, but I wanted to come and have a look at the body of my fourth sister-in-law, so I didn''t say anything in advance."


    Wang said with a smile, "in that case, I''ll take you directly." Said several people then straight went to Liu''s courtyard.


    Liu Shi is lying on the bed to close his eyes and listen to the servant girl saying that leisurely two people are coming. He quickly props up and wants to sit up. Leisurely quickly walked two steps and pressed her down, "well, it''s not an outsider. The fourth sister-in-law doesn''t have to be so polite. You can''t stand the blind tossing." Finish saying, to the direction of jade lotus a pick eyebrow "otherwise the doctor should not be happy."


    Liu said, "this is sister Lin who saved our mother''s life. Thank you for saving her life. Otherwise, if the child has a good or bad, how can I live? "


    Jade lotus see her eye circles unexpectedly red, quickly coax way "well, four grandma''s mind I know, but you just now, don''t so mind ups and downs too much, no good for the body."


    Leisurely also said, "did you hear the doctor? We''re here to see you. It''s a crime if you get worse accidentally. You just lie down and let''s talk. "


    Liu said with a quick smile, "if so, please forgive me for neglecting." Only in the end or not really lying down, but a little up, leaning on a few soft pillow recline. After lying down, he raised his voice and told the servant girl to make tea and take the fruit for dessert. He only turned around the four or five servant girls in the room for a long time before he stopped. After a while, a mother-in-law came to look for Wang. Wang stood up and said with a smile, "my sister-in-law and Lin''s sister will sit here first. Excuse me. At noon, I''ll hold a banquet in my yard. My sister-in-law and sister Lin are not allowed to refuse. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "I''ve heard from my aunt for a long time. The dishes in your small kitchen are very delicious. It''s easy to have a chance today. Naturally, we have to harass you." Wang quickly agreed with a smile, took two words to go with the servants in a hurry.


    Looking at Wang''s figure, Liu sighed in his heart. Otherwise, after having a son, she will be pregnant again soon. It''s hard to say that she can get a job from her own mother. Now I have to lie on the bed and raise the baby.


    Seeing that she calmed down, Yulian gave her pulse again for a while, and then said with a smile, "in the end, she is young and has a good foundation. She recovers very quickly. Her pulse is still weak that day. She will be very healthy. Just remember not to be careless, in addition to bed rest, food must also be careful In her heart, since the other party has had a baby, she should be very experienced here, so there is no more noise.


    After listening to Yulian''s words, Liu replied with a smile, "maybe it''s because the weather is getting hotter recently. He always feels that his chest is too stuffy to eat. In the meal, whenever there is a little oil star, I want to vomit. Yesterday, they sent me a Zaoni yam cake. I still think it''s good to eat. It''s very appetizing. " After that, he told the servant girl, "didn''t the little cicada just say that he wanted to make Zaoni yam cake for me? Go and see if it''s ready. Bring some to sister Ze and sister Lin


    The little maid went to the small kitchen and didn''t see anyone. But when she saw the steaming steam on the steamer, she took down the lid and saw a large plate of steaming jujube paste and yam cake emitting fragrance. When she saw that there was no one around, she couldn''t help reaching for a piece and blowing it twice in her hand. She didn''t care to burn her mouth, so she ate a piece of it. After eating, satisfied with the smash bar smash mouth, well, sour sweet really delicious, as for why this jujube mud yam cake with sour, did not go to heart.


    Seeing that the cicada didn''t know where to go, the servant girl took a plate by herself, chose some of the most beautiful ones and carefully put them into the plate with bamboo clips. Then, learning from the little cicada''s method, he found the jar for Osmanthus fragrans. He pinched a handful of Osmanthus fragrans and sprinkled them on it. Looking left and right, he felt satisfied, so he carried them to the house.


    Leisurely see this jujube mud yam cake made into a beautiful flower shape, put on the plate is more white in the red, crystal clear, now boast a "light look like this, feel delicious."


    Liu''s busy way "this servant girl beside of don''t medium use, stir up a point to eat food to still go, sister-in-law and elder sister taste quickly."


    Leisurely and Yulian take a piece to eat, Liu see them both eat up, he also feel a little hungry, reached for a piece just to eat, but Yulian suddenly blocked "this heart you can''t eat."

 Chapter 357

    Because she was worried, Yulian''s tone was more severe, not to mention Liu, even leisurely was surprised. Leisurely take a look at Liu, who is obviously out of the situation, and ask, "what''s the matter? What''s wrong with this cake? "


    Yulian broke off the snack in her hand, pointed to the filling in the middle and said, "you see, there''s Hawthorn sauce in it. It''s very good for ordinary people to have an appetizer. However, hawthorn also has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, but it is not suitable for pregnant women, especially for the fourth grandmother, who is not stable in the original fetal appearance, and has the risk of slippery fetus if she is careless. "


    When she talked about promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, Liu had already felt bad. No matter how ignorant she was, she also had a son. How could she not know that pregnant women should not be exposed to this kind of food. Hearing the last sentence, she was so scared that she quickly threw the snack aside. "Fortunately, sister Lin found it, otherwise I would be really unlucky this time."


    Leisurely looked at the dim sum in the dish and said, "maybe it''s just the unintentional loss of the servant girl, but you should be more careful about the things you want to import in the future."


    Liu called the little servant girl who had just gone to work to him and said, "how do you work? I don''t know how to get the snack. Just take it here. If you put poison in it, you can give it to me directly? "


    The little servant girl was frightened and panicked. She knelt down and begged for mercy. "Look, there is no one in the kitchen. Sister cicada doesn''t know where she has gone. The servant girl is afraid of delaying her work, so she decides to bring the snacks. She won''t dare to do it next time."


    After listening to this, Liu was even more irritated, "little cicada, this dead girl, when she was on duty, if she didn''t do well, where did she go to fool around? I''ve been fighting all day because I''m the niece of mother Zhang. I''m so arrogant. I don''t know what''s good and what''s bad. I''ll let her come to me when she comes back. " The little servant girl went down obediently.


    I saw that there were not many servant girls in the room. Although they were very quiet, there were not many capable ones. Thinking of the scene when Liu was in a coma that day, leisurely thought that Liu was afraid that he would not be able to resist. The yard was almost a sieve, and even the small kitchen could be easily entered.


    But, after all, it is not deep, this leisurely also only pondered in the heart, did not say.


    However, Liu was a little embarrassed and said to her and Yulian, "I''m incompetent in training. I''ve made my sister-in-law and sister Lin laugh."


    Leisurely smile way "servant girls are mischievous, teach slowly just, what does this have?"


    After hearing this, Liu sighed heavily and said, "if it''s really so easy to manage, it''s OK. If you''re not afraid of my sister-in-law''s jokes, my mother''s family looks like a scholarly family, but there are so many people and so many people. My father doesn''t have much property here. When I got married, there were only four servant girls, two of whom were only about ten years old. What could I do? Two big ones are capable, just one Cui Qiao. Soon after I was pregnant with my first baby, I opened my face and made a house. This one Cui Xi, actually directly behind my back to do things like that! The servant girls sent by this house are more delicate than the young lady one by one. Now there is really no one around me. "


    Smell speech, leisurely frown "the servant girl is the servant girl, how can compare the young lady to return coquettish?"? If there is a slave who is not obedient, just beat the board and drive him out, and then replace him. What''s wrong with that? "


    Liu gave a wry smile and said helplessly, "it''s easy to say this, but the maid in the yard is either the niece of the mother or the daughter of the aunt. They are all the powerful mothers and aunts around the mother, and they all have face in front of my mother. Who do I dare to provoke? "


    Leisurely said, "aunt has never been such a person to appease adultery. Several Moms around her do things fairly. How could she do such rude things?"


    Smell speech, Liu''s wet nurse Zhao mother "tut" a "fair what? Grandma''s status is noble. Naturally, these mothers dare not make mistakes in front of you. Our grandmother is just a concubine''s daughter-in-law, and her mother''s family is not a rich family. How can these respectable stewards pay attention to our grandmother? Take Cui Qiao as an example. Our aunt... Grandma was reluctant to let her make a room for her uncle. But mother Zhang found our grandmother and insisted that Cuiqiao be her daughter-in-law. Who doesn''t know that her son is good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. At what age, he has been a regular customer of brothel. After all, our grandmother couldn''t bear years of love. She didn''t want to watch Cui Qiao jump into the fire pit, so she let her be my uncle''s housekeeper. " It''s just that how does mother Zhang''s son say different things to others? So leisurely asked, "what did mom say just now? Is mother Zhang''s son not good? "


    Zhao''s mother looked around and saw that there was nothing irrelevant in the room. She said, "it''s not only bad, it''s not a thing. That time, I heard from a woman in the outer courtyard that her son followed the cashier down to the Chuang Tzu to make an account, colluded with the daughter of a Chuang Tzu''s family, and made their stomachs big. In the end, she didn''t admit it. The girl couldn''t think of jumping into the lake and killed herself


    As soon as she finished, Liu said to her, "Mammy, you''ve gone out to inquire about these gossip again." Zhao mother Shan Shan''s smile, "I will not go in the future."


    Liu''s mouth curled helplessly. She didn''t believe it at all. When she was at her mother''s house, she often assured her that it had not changed for many years. Liu said to leisurely, "this is the way I am. I like to come around and chat with people. There are all kinds of gossip, but I don''t know what the truth is. My sister-in-law, just listen to the story and don''t take it to heart. "


    Leisurely is nodding should be under, but it will seriously exist in the heart. Zhao''s mother has never heard of this before. If Zhang''s boy is really so bad, isn''t it that all the servants she asked are being deceived? Have the servants of the government really been so arrogant?


    Because of something in my heart, when I had lunch at Wang''s restaurant at noon, even though the dishes in the small kitchen were really full of color, fragrance and leisurely, I had no appetite. I just ate a little hastily. Wang thinks the dishes here are not to her taste.


    Soon after lunch, Han came back. After a few words, seeing that Han looked a little bit tired, he couldn''t help laughing and saying, "my aunt has been running for a long time. I think she must be tired. Go back to the inner room to have a rest. We''ll leave for a while. While it''s not too hot today, we want to go to Zhuque street


    Han also did not and her polite "in the end is your young people energetic, I am really a little tired, first to lie down.". You can help yourself. " With that, he swept around and said, "Bai Wei, please send grandma Ze to me." Bai Wei is very busy.


    Bai Wei is now the first-class servant girl beside Han, and her parents are the children of this family. Leisurely thought that she might as well explore this matter, so she took advantage of the time to go out and asked her in a quiet voice, "there is something I want to ask you. Although it''s a bit abrupt, you can''t trust others. You have to tell me the truth."


    Without waiting for her to open her mouth, Bai Wei said, "I know. What grandma wants to ask is the boy of mother Zhang''s family. When I heard mother Zhang mention it that day, I wanted to hint you, but later I didn''t care about something. If grandma believes me, don''t let Liu Ye marry mother Zhang''s son. "


    Leisurely one Leng, pursue to ask a way "but this kid really has what bad?"

 Chapter 358

    Bai Wei whispered, "it''s not just bad!" Then he looked around for a while, and when he saw that all the people behind were far away, he said, "grandma is not an outsider, so I''ll tell you the truth. That mother once gave me some advice, but my father was decent in front of the Duke. I was the big servant girl beside my wife, and she didn''t dare to be strong. My father told me in private, let me less contact with her, said that her children eat wine and gamble outside all evil. It''s just that there''s nothing wrong with the job. People just turn a blind eye and don''t poke it out. I was originally selected by my grandmother, and I knew willow leaves well, so I didn''t want to see her jump into the fire pit. Grandma, you''d better find a good match for her. "


    For Bai Wei''s words, leisurely has nothing to believe, after all, years of friendship is there. Now she took Bai Wei''s hand and said, "good sister, thanks for telling me this. I also asked a few other people. They all kept it from me. If you didn''t tell me the truth, if you did harm to the willow leaves, wouldn''t I be worried all my life? " Then she rolled a pair of Jasper Bracelets from her hand and put them on her hand. "The color of these bracelets is tender for me, but it''s just right for you when you are young."


    Bai Wei said, "look what grandma said, I''m not a few years younger than grandma." Leisurely took her hand and said, "OK, this public labouring, let others see it is not like words, you just wear it. I''ve heard that your family is looking at you too. I''m going to give you a better one when you come out of the cabinet tomorrow. "


    Smell speech, Bai Wei some embarrassed smile "grandma news is really smart, the wife is also two days ago just relaxed, but it will take a year or two to go out." The little maids are still young, and Qi''s mother is older, so Bai Wei always has to teach two good apprentices to go out.


    Clap her hand leisurely. "Anyway, it''s always good to have a hope."


    Now that I know that mother Zhang''s son is not a tool, leisurely is reluctant to marry Liu Ye to him. It''s just that Zhang''s mother is an old man beside Han''s family. It''s not easy to be carefree. It''s too obvious to refuse. She only asked someone to reply that they didn''t agree.


    After hearing this obvious excuse, mother Zhang was very angry. This Ze big grandmother really does not want to give the face, but is a little girl just, unexpectedly also obstructs. She sneered at the moment, and thought to herself that I would not believe it. I would not want to be a little girl for all my life. At the moment, I went to Yuehua hospital in anger and wanted to find Han''s support for her.


    In Yuehua courtyard, listening to the whispers of joy in the room, I saw Han playing with Huijie after I went in. It''s a lovely and fun time for such a big child. He can''t make Han happy. Even the big and small maids in the room like this little girl.


    Seeing that the Han family was in the mood, the Zhang Gui family didn''t dare to be angry. They praised Hui first, and then went back to a job with a smile. See Han''s face dew satisfied color, Fang Qi Ai Ai''s reply way "maidservant here has a matter to also want to ask the madam to make a decision for me."


    Han did not care about the question "what is it?"


    Mother Zhang said with a smile, "it''s my boy''s business. My wife also knows that my boy is twenty this year and has no daughter-in-law. I don''t want to ask my wife to help me make the decision?"


    Han raised his head slightly. "I remember that day, didn''t you fall in love with zege''s daughter-in-law''s maid? Why, didn''t it work? "


    Mother Zhang said bitterly, "isn''t it? The servant girl thought that my family was not bad among the servants in this house, and she didn''t know how good grandma Ze''s vision was. She didn''t take a fancy to the boy in my family. She just said that she wanted to let the servant girl out to be a flat grandmother. "


    Han replied, "since she doesn''t agree, everyone has their own aspirations, you don''t have to ask. Just find a good one for your son."


    Mother Zhang said, "I''ve seen this for several years. It''s easy for me to have a daughter-in-law. If it turns yellow like this, I''m really reluctant. So I want to ask my wife to help me... "


    Before he finished, he was stopped by Han. She told Huijie''s nursing mother, "her mother is not well today, and she didn''t come to ask for help. Take Huijie to show her." The nurse went with her, and three or four maids followed her. Seeing that the child had gone away, Han turned around and scolded, "what can I do for you? Help you make peace with zege''s daughter-in-law? Your face is getting bigger and bigger, and you want to take up the master''s power! Zege''s daughter-in-law is gentle and talkative. You bully her like this! If you can''t coax her, you come to pull me to make a raft. What is your boy? Do you think I don''t know? It''s just for the sake of your hard work these years, I''ll leave you some dignity. Zege''s daughter-in-law doesn''t want to be ruined by her servant girl who has been with her for many years. She politely refuses you and doesn''t tell your son''s scandal. You should be grateful. Does this meeting still blame the master? "


    Mother Zhang knelt down and yelled, "I dare not." Listen to Han''s words, she already knew about her own boy? Although it was already mid May, the sun was shining outside, and there was no ice in the room. It was very hot, but Zhang Gui''s family felt a sudden cold rising on her body, which made her shiver.


    When Han saw her face, he said in a cold voice, "I''m getting older these years, and I don''t want to be as rigid as before. So I''ve always been more tolerant of what you''ve done, but you don''t know how to be grateful one by one. Instead, you''re stepping on your nose more and more! What''s going on in this house? Not to mention zege''s daughter-in-law, even Rongge''s daughter-in-law and Maoge''s daughter-in-law are not less angry with you, are they? No matter how big your face is, can it be bigger than your master? Really vertical, you one by one do not know what the last name? Since you don''t want it, don''t want it. "


    Say, let a person take Zhang Gui''s down. Then, Han''s resolute disposal of several "leading" steward mothers, including Zhang''s mother, and several stewards of the outer court were also involved. However, in two or three days, the people who were brought down by Han family were about a dozen in charge. In addition to their family members and relatives involved, Han family finally disposed of more than 40 people.


    Originally, we thought that if we dealt with these people all at once, there would be chaos in the government. But those in charge of the work were soon taken over, and some of them were even better than the original ones. In addition, the new officials took office three times, and the new administrators soon straightened out the internal and external affairs of the government, and cleaned up the atmosphere of the government.


    The old man who had insight in his heart knew that Han''s plan was premeditated! They are afraid that they will be replaced if they are not careful one day, so some old people who are already very cautious are becoming more cautious.


    After hearing about this, Youran seldom gets the government to ask for Han''s greetings. Leisurely some uneasy said, "my servant girl and mother Zhang''s son eight character some disagreement, originally is only a small matter, did not expect to bring so much trouble to aunt."

 Chapter 359

    Han shook his head and said, "how can this be trouble? It''s Zhang Gui''s family that has a big heart. " Then he sighed and said, "it''s not my fault. In the past two years, the power of his Royal Highness the king of Liang has gradually stabilized. Looking at our family outside, it''s full of flowers and brocade. Naturally, we want to make things better. The servants in this house are quite decent when they go out. In the past, although I had heard these questions, I turned a blind eye to them because they were always respectful. I didn''t expect that one by one, I''m going to step up. If I dare to take the master today, I''ll dare to sell him tomorrow! I wanted to find a chance to take care of it together. Even without you, they would not be able to hop around for a few days. "


    Leisurely then said with a smile, "as expected, I''m still my aunt. I have everything in my heart. By contrast, I''m still far behind." Leisurely wondered how Han could let the atmosphere in the house be so chaotic? It turned out that she had been prepared for a long time, and thought to herself that this was Han''s decision in her mind!


    After this, leisurely thought in his heart, there are also a few years in his house did not have a good life to rectify some. So secretly, let a good life to visit some, really found out a few rich, secretly greedy guy. There are even some relatives of my servants who are bullying the market outside under the name of the commander''s office. When you know this, you are so angry that you don''t tolerate any of them and take care of all these people.


    In recent years, the family industry has developed well, and many servants have bought it from outside. Small Si and small servant girls are better, those adult men and women''s loyalty is obviously much worse. Horizontal and vertical to the time is not long, feelings are not deep, leisurely and unrelenting to sell them. For a while, the staff in the house was a little nervous. If they moved to a new house in a few months, they would be even less.


    Just in time for the first Prince''s anniversary, the emperor ordered a general amnesty. The palace sold a group of prisoners'' families who should be detained, and took the opportunity to buy several old mothers and several stewardesses. Although they can''t be allowed to take charge of the work as soon as they come, they can arrange a job for them to do first, and we can see the good and bad in two or three months.


    However, these can only be regarded as expedient measures. In order to cultivate people''s loyalty, we should not only pay them well, but also cultivate their loyalty from an early age. So leisurely bought nearly twenty little servant girls and ten little boys from renyazi. In addition to the original servants, the Shen family''s servants were over a hundred.


    The house in Beicheng can''t accommodate so many people. Leisurely, people will settle the newly bought ones in the new house. By the way, let these people clean up the new house, and it will be easy to move in two months.


    I have been busy for more than half a month. When I am free, I find that I haven''t left my mother''s home for a long time. Hengli also went out of national filial piety. Now he changed into fresh clothes and went to the Lin family in a carriage.


    After arriving at the Lin family, leisurely surprised to find that Zhuang Shu was not at home, she asked, "why didn''t I see my sister-in-law?"


    Speaking of this, Mrs. Lin sighed and said, "well, it''s karma. Do you remember Grandma Li we met back home


    Leisurely nodded and said, "but my brother''s classmate''s wife naturally remembers. What''s the matter, but something happened to her? "


    Lin''s mother said, "she''s OK, but her mother-in-law, that is, Mr. Li''s mother, ate zongzi carelessly on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival and got stuck in a jujube stone. She swallowed without waiting for a doctor. Now it''s three or seven, and today their family is going to Fuling back home. Your brother, for the sake of a classmate, took a special leave and took your sister-in-law to see you off outside the city. "


    When I think of Granny Li''s illness, I feel that Mrs. Li''s death is not so simple. It''s just that it''s a family affair. Leisurely, I don''t want to get entangled in it. Turn around and talk to Lin Mu.


    Lin''s mother said with a smile, "what are you busy with these days? How come I haven''t been here for a month? "


    Leisurely frowned and said, "how long? Isn''t the Dragon Boat Festival just here? "


    Lin''s mother said, "it''s twenty-eight today. How long have you been away from the Dragon Boat Festival? " Leisurely, I don''t know how time flies. I''m embarrassed to say with a smile, "I''m really in a hurry these days. I''ve forgotten all the days."


    Lin''s mother said, "I know you''re busy, but I didn''t bother you. But you also have to pay attention to your body. Look at this thin face. It''s all skin and bones. I have excellent Cordyceps flowers here. I''ll let someone stew for you. "


    Leisurely knead the meat on his face, if this is thin. Isn''t the legendary princess Yang slim? Hearing that his mother wanted to stew and mend Soup for himself, he quickly stopped and said, "mother will keep such a good thing for herself. How can I use it to break this. I just ate ginseng black chicken soup yesterday, and I drank bird''s nest porridge this morning. I can''t make it up any more. I''m afraid I''ll have nosebleed if I drink tonic soup again. "


    Lin''s mother knew that her family didn''t lack these, so she didn''t insist.


    Leisurely had lunch here, but he didn''t see his brother and his wife back. Lin Mu said, "these two must have turned a corner and gone somewhere else."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s so easy to go out of the city. It''s right to relax outside. I''ll take my mother to live in Chuang Tzu for two days after I''ve been busy for a while. "


    Lin''s mother said with a smile, "that''s a good feeling. I always live in the city, and I feel a little worried. I wish I could go out more." Then he sighed, "when I was young, I went to Beijing with your father for the first time, and I admired the bustling city. At that time, I thought when I could have a house in this city. Now we have several houses, but we miss the countryside again. I really don''t know what to say! "


    Leisurely smile "people, are like this, the heart likes to think about things that do not have in hand."


    The mother and daughter talked about the family routine again. Leisurely, they saw that Lin Mu was a little tired. Knowing that she had to take a nap every day, they stood up and said, "mother, go and have a rest. I''ll go home first and come back another day."


    Lin Mu asked, "don''t you wait for an Ge''er and his wife to come back?"


    Leisurely way "not wait, in a hurry not so busy, I came to the ground.". There will be plenty of time to meet later. "


    Lin Mu nodded, personally took her to the gate, and watched her carriage go away before returning to the house.


    After returning home, leisurely listen to willow said, "grandma back? Elder sister Yutan is here. At noon, she would like to come over and invite ANN to her grandmother. She just goes out. "


    Leisurely while changing into home clothes, while asking "is it? How did she come here on this hot day? "


    Liu Ye said with a smile, "it''s said that she''s here to send a quarterly dividend to lady Lin."


    Just then, Yu Tan who heard the news had come to greet her. Although Zheng Quan has been suffering in the cold land in the north in recent years, Yutan''s life is very natural and unrestrained. Relying on her husband''s relationship, she started a fur business. Although she only sold some middle and low-grade goods, she had a small profit and quick turnover. The business is very prosperous. You can see that jade sandalwood is now glowing and full of vitality.


    Leisurely saw the face of jade Tan and joked, "I heard that you are here to send the bonus silver of last season? When is this? Why don''t you just wait until next year? "

 Chapter 360

    It turned out that when Yu Tan opened the shop, he was short of nearly a thousand taels of silver, and he wanted to find a partner with enough confidence. Just as Yulian knew this, she took all her savings and put them in. Now the business of this shop is good. According to Yulian herself, the dividend in one winter alone is four or five hundred taels of silver. In addition to the summer, the spring and autumn earnings add up to a little bit. After a year, they can get nearly a thousand taels of dividends. Isn''t it better than the others? It is also because of this income that Yulian has the confidence to stop visiting.


    Yutan knew she was joking, so she didn''t care. I sat down on the chair and said with a smile, "what grandma said... This time I didn''t mean to drag it away. Originally, my shop was all small businesses, although the profit was small, but fortunately, there was no credit and the return was fast. It''s not that Han Fu''s grandmother''s family knew about my shop a few years ago and ordered a leather. It cost more than three thousand taels of silver. I thought that the money would be difficult, but aunt Han came to make peace with me in person. After all, I can''t sell her face. Therefore, I found the best leather to send to their home. It was said that it was good. I paid the bill after I sent the leather. As a result, after I received the goods, I said that I didn''t make up for the money at the end of the year. I only gave 200 taels of silver, and the rest would be paid after the end of the year. As a result, I didn''t give it after the Spring Festival! "


    Leisurely asked, "I remember that the Han family''s eldest daughter married Yongchang mansion. Can''t the Marquis mansion even give you this silver?"


    Jade Tan helpless smile "is just an empty shelf, maidservant listen to people say this house is already empty. Now the old lady of her family is still there. At least she is supported by a marquis. But chengjue''s master suddenly went a few years ago. Now his family is only a general. In this way, the two sons of the old lady are greedy for their nephew''s title and make trouble all day long. Otherwise, the family can''t fall so fast. "


    Leisurely frowned, thinking that with his godfather''s ingenuity, if this Yongchang Marquis really does not have any benefits, he will not waste one of his daughters, or the eldest daughter. Although Han''s eldest aunt married to chengjue''s fengen general to fill the house, her original wife had no children, and her business was no worse than her original wife.


    Alas, it''s really someone else''s business. It''s useless to think too much about it. Shaking his head, he left all these things behind, and then asked, "did you get the money?"


    Yutan said with a smile, "of course, I''ll give it to you. Otherwise, how can I get money to give Mrs. Lin dividends? I don''t know what power aunt Han has in her hands this time. She''s much tougher in her words and deeds. "


    Leisurely way "tube she how, as long as you take back the money is good."


    Yutan replied, "isn''t that right? If you can''t get the money back, you''ll be in vain last year, and you''ll still have some good skin. After this time, I will never make such a big list again. It''s better to make a little fuss. It''s crisp and neat. Although you earn less, you can''t lose money. "


    Then, Yu Tan took a look at the willow leaves standing on one side, some of them wanted to talk and stop. Leisurely eyebrow micro movement, with a smile, said Liu Ye, "I look at the last time Chen Niangzi sent that piece of red satin is good, you find out, let jade sandalwood back to make clothes to wear."


    Willow leaf promised to go out, jade sandalwood busy smile way "I also didn''t filial piety grandmother what good thing, but also partial grandmother''s good satin, is really in the heart uneasy."


    Leisurely don''t care about smile "what is this, white put is bad. But if you really feel sorry, just send two more cases of leather here in winter. " The servant girls and ladies at the bottom of this saying all laughed. Jade Tan also smile "grandma said so, then I can just choose good to send, grandma can''t refuse to accept."


    Su he was always quick witted, and then he said, "grandma is not so greedy. I don''t know how many good things are scattered in her hands, but she pretends to be mean and bluff who?"


    Yutan said with a smile, "I know that grandma is joking. I''m afraid that even Su he''s younger sister doesn''t care about the goods in our family, not to mention grandma you." Then he turned to see the willow leaves go away, and some uneasy said, "come on, today I''m here to say goodbye to willow leaves." Smell speech, leisurely raise a head to "O, is what family, how to entrust to you that go?"


    Yutan said with a smile, "it''s not a stranger. This man was a tenant of aunt LiuYe''s house. He is a scholar. He is from the suburbs of Beijing. Originally, I came to Beijing to test Qiuwei. When I was renting in Chen''s house, I happened to see willow leaves twice, so I got some heart. A few days ago, grandma let willow leaves to my home to send things, just met by him. It happened that his aunt and my family were neighbors on the front and back streets, so he asked his aunt to come to me and tell me about the matter, and asked me to ask my grandmother. "


    He pondered for a while, "since he is a scholar, he must continue to test for fame and honor? Now, although he is a scholar, how about his family business? Do you have any input on hand? What''s your character? Now that he is declining, he does not dislike Liu Ye''s family background. Will he change his mind in the future? "


    Jade Tan hurriedly replied, "if I don''t know these clearly, I don''t dare to come to grandma and open my mouth. He Xiucai is also a wonderful person. He failed in the Qiuwei exam twice, so he didn''t bother about it. If someone else took advantage of his youth, he might take the exam twice more, but he stopped thinking about it. He made a Mongolian school in his house to teach several pupils, and he also had two or three Liang silver in a month. Although it''s not much, it''s enough for people to live in their homes. "


    She took a cup of tea and said, "I don''t care for such a small profit, even I don''t like it. He Xiucai''s parents died early, and his family also left hundreds of acres of fertile land and a three entrance ancestral home in the suburbs of Beijing. The house he lives in now is bought with his own money. There are about ten rooms in the second house. I heard from his aunt that he bought a small shop in Wenhua street, and he also had a rent of 20 Liang silver a year. With the income from the land, I felt that it was enough for me to live on weekdays, so I came here to open this shop. "


    Leisurely listening to this, I think it''s pretty good. At the very least, it shows that this person is not the kind of person who is stupid in reading. Seeing that he has failed to get an official title, he knows that he will immediately find a job to make a living. It''s much better than those nerds who just know how to read.


    But she still had some doubts in her heart. "So what''s the character of this man? Since his condition is so good, why hasn''t he married yet? "

 Chapter 361

    After listening to leisurely questions, Yu Tan said with a smile, "there is no moral character. He has been running a private school for two years. To be honest with grandma, my big boy was sent there. After one or two years of contact, I think he Xiucai is still very good. He speaks and does things very gently. He doesn''t speak to us as arrogantly as ordinary scholars. The most important thing is to teach children patiently and meticulously. I think that the others can cheat, but they can''t cheat in class. "


    Just at this time, LiuYe came in with satin in her arms. When she heard this, she asked, "what''s fake?" As soon as the words fell, the servant girls in the room all laughed at her.


    Willow leaves are a little confused. I look at them and don''t think there''s anything wrong with them! At this time, leisurely said with a smile, "it''s about you. You should come and listen to it." Said, and told the girls in the room, "this matter now eight words also not a skim, you who are not allowed to go out Hu Qin, hear?"


    All the servants in the room were older. Naturally, they knew the importance of it. They were all right when they heard it.


    Leisurely call willow leaves to his side, said the thing, willow leaves face suddenly become red. Leisurely patted her hand and said, "OK, this meeting is not the time to be shy. In another year, it will be twenty-two. It''s hard to delay. Since he Xiucai has rented your aunt''s house, your aunt knows something about him. You don''t have to be on duty in the afternoon. Go to your aunt''s house and talk to her Haosheng, and listen to her opinions. " Liu Ye was also afraid that she would be teased by her sisters if she stayed here any longer, so she agreed to go.


    But I don''t know why Xiucai''s aunt not only entrusted Yutan, but also heard that his nephew''s former landlord was LiuYe''s aunt. This morning, he came to visit the Chen family.


    This meeting, see niece blush of come over, Chen everybody of still have what don''t know? He quickly pulled her into his room and asked in a low voice, "but he Xiucai sent someone to your master to propose marriage?"


    "What does aunt say? What is marriage promotion? Now I haven''t written a single word, but I''ve asked someone to talk about it? " Then she looked up and saw a neat snack box in the room. She couldn''t help wondering, "is there a guest in my aunt''s house?"


    Chen everyone''s teasing smile: "it was he Xiucai''s aunt who came here. He Xiucai was afraid that you would not agree and forced her aunt to come and make peace. If you don''t say anything else, the end of this heart is better than the other one. "


    At the end of the joke, Mr. Chen said, "well, there are a lot of people who want to ask you these days. Some of them are small official families, but I see that most of them are aimed at your master. They are really not good matches. Although he Xiucai''s family is not rich, he has a good character. When I used to live here, I was quite polite and didn''t make it public. Although he is a little bit slow tempered, he has no bad heart. I''m two years older than you, and that''s just right. "


    Willow leaves bite lower lip "since this person is good everywhere, how to drag to now have not married?"


    This side chamber, leisurely also is asking jade Tan this question. Yutan replied, "I know something about it. When his aunt didn''t mention it before, she asked us neighbors to marry her nephew. When we saw that he had won the entrance examination at a young age, how could a scholar be so old that he didn''t get married? Naturally, we would ask. His aunt said that he Xiucai had a hard life. His family used to be a little squire in the suburbs of Beijing. There were hundreds of acres of fertile land in his family. Otherwise, he Xiucai''s aunt could not marry in the capital. But his father unfortunately died early, orphans and widows in the family are always bullied a few times. Even his uncle''s family is not a good thing. They not only don''t give support to their wives, but also often come to visit them. If it wasn''t for he Xiucai''s aunt who loves his nephew and often pulls his uncle back to visit his mother''s house, I''m afraid he Xiucai can''t even keep the last 100 mu of land. "


    Then, Yu Tan patted his head and said, "look at my memory, I forgot to say that he Xiucai''s uncle was a gentleman who had been a prince of Rongjun. Therefore, he Xiucai''s family members and uncle''s family are in awe of him, so he Xiucai, who dare not bully him, is too cruel. When he Xiucai was a child, he once engaged in a marriage. He was also a local squire, but later the adult of that family got the exam and got a job in the county. He Xiucai''s father died again, and his family was in a state of decline. Naturally, the family didn''t look up to such a son-in-law, so they asked someone to give up. He Xiucai used to be a gentle person. According to his aunt, he didn''t have much talent in reading. After this stimulation, he worked hard and won the honors of Tong Sheng and Xiucai one after another. " Leisurely said with a smile, "in this way, he Xiucai is still somewhat rigid. In the face of such injustice, he didn''t abandon himself, which is also somewhat desirable." I feel a little satisfied, but I don''t know what Liu Ye''s aunt thinks.


    Here, Mr. Chen is also saying to Liu Ye, "let''s not forget about the others. I''ve got a crush on him Xiucai. I understand. You see in the yard over there, the Xiucai Zhang who took the examination of Qiuwei with him was still studying there. In the town, people only say that "money is something outside the family". Apart from reading, they are not willing to worry about family affairs. It''s not only "clothes come to hand, food comes to mouth", but also in the town, you can only spend money, not earn money. Thanks to his wife''s good needlework, he earns some money to live on, or the family can''t even eat. " Then he whispered, "I heard Liu Ju Ren''s wife say that this scholar said every month that there was a poetry club. In fact, two of the three times she went to Hualou. You said that if you stand on such a person, you won''t make people angry! He Xiucai should be like that. I can''t even agree with him. "


    After a pause, Chen said, "it''s also your destiny. If he hadn''t retired once, he might not have been able to pass the examination, and the scholar would have come to Beijing for the examination. If we didn''t just rent our yard, we wouldn''t like you. This is not his aunt said that in recent years, it''s not that he didn''t give him a kiss, it''s just that no matter how good a girl is, he just shakes his head. At first, his aunt was also puzzled. After listening to him this time, she realized that she had already met you, so she had been waiting there


    When LiuYe came back in the afternoon, it was Chen''s company. Leisurely, she had a personal interview. As soon as she saw everyone''s face, she said with a smile, "it seems that my aunt is very satisfied with this he Xiucai."


    Chen everyone nodded in a hurry. "I''m very happy to tell Grandma. Although he Xiucai is not top-notch among those who propose marriage, he knows the root and the bottom. He has lived in my family for more than three years, and I have a good idea of his character. The most important thing is that I like his respect. Even though I have some thoughts in my heart, I have never been abrupt. The serious caretakers come to propose marriage. "


    Leisurely also nodded, "yes, you can see that this man is a man of good conduct by doing this alone."

 Chapter 362

    Since it is said that he Xiucai''s character is good, he is willing to look at LiuYe leisurely. Think about it too. Liu Ye has seen that he Xiucai. It''s better to know that he is tall, short, fat and thin than blind marriage and dumb marriage.


    Since both sides have no opinions, leisurely let LiuYe hand over the work at hand, let her go back to her aunt''s home to prepare for marriage. Leisurely, what you said to Zhang Guijia last time was not all excuses. LiuYe''s contract of selling herself had been given to her last year, and her slave status had been cut off.


    This time Liu Ye left the house, leisurely had a lot more money than before, so she was given rich things. In addition to the gold and silver items she had collected and the materials for her headgear and clothes, there were fifty taels of silver, a pair of red gold hairpins and earrings, and a red brocade Satin for her dowry.


    On the day of leaving the house, Mr. Chen took his youngest son and daughter to pick up his niece. He thought that no matter how much she was, she was just a servant girl. How many things could she have? Did not want to leisurely directly sent her a carriage, full of a car loaded with things, even people can not sit on. Thanks to the proximity, otherwise they would have to take another car.


    When they got home, a coachman and two women from the Shen family helped unload the things. With a smile, Liu Ye stuffed them with a lot of money and sent them away.


    As soon as LiuYe''s father left at the beginning of the new year, there was no one close to her father. Otherwise, she could not let her stepmother treat her so slowly. Now LiuYe has to marry her aunt.


    Chen everyone''s love for this niece, specially put the original Yulian rent that courtyard out, give her temporary residence. When his daughter swallow came back, she thought her mother was partial. "I don''t know who your daughter is. What''s good for you in the past? Just read her. Is it necessary to make such a big yard for her now?"


    Chen''s point of his daughter''s forehead, "you girl, are doing Niang people, but also so ignorant! You are my own daughter. Naturally, what should I do. Your cousin is a relative. She''s used to living in that high courtyard. It''s good to come and live in our house. It''s too shabby. Isn''t it a joke? "


    The swallow is still not satisfied. "Then you don''t have to live in such a big yard!" Her mother spat at her, "OK, don''t be red eyed. I''ll let you stay for a few days after two days, OK? How nice your cousin is to you. What kind of clothes, materials and jewelry do you lack? That time you had massive postpartum hemorrhage and were weak. If she didn''t go to ask Mrs. Lin to see a doctor for you and buy red ginseng to make soup for you, would you stand here? Now she just lives here for a while. Your two brothers have no words, but you are here to fight against injustice. What''s wrong with you? Besides, as long as she can live here, she will get married and leave in a hurry. You have no brains


    After being told by his mother, the swallow thinks of the advantages of his cousin and looks at his clothes and shoes. I don''t know how much I''ve saved in the past two years. What I said just now is really extreme. I couldn''t help holding my mother''s arm and saying, "well, mother, I said something wrong. Anyway, it''s not my yard. You don''t care. What do I care? Naturally, it''s up to you. "


    Chen everyone''s not angry white she one eye "many adults also net will act coquettishly, OK, this matter is up to now, later do not mention ha.". Fortunately, your cousin didn''t hear it, or how can you walk in the future. If her marriage is smooth, how can she be a scholar lady in the future? Can you walk around with her without looking up at you? "


    The swallow was knocked by his own mother, and then he pressed the injustice in his heart. Today, I went back to my mother''s house to help my cousin carry her luggage.


    But when I saw the load of things in LiuYe, the swallow swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva. There are only three or four good mahogany suitcases with so many things. There are also suitcases, mirror cases and so on, not to mention the big burden one by one.


    After Liu Ye sent the servants of the Shen family away, the swallow looked at the burden of the half Kang and the underground cages. I thought it was her mother. She knew that her cousin had a lot of things and the place was too small, so she was given such a big room to live in. In fact, even Mr. Chen''s niece didn''t expect to have these things. It''s just that she''s old enough to be stable, so she doesn''t look very obvious. Just some uncertain asked, "I never thought you could save so many things, but you brought them out. Would the masters of the Shen family be unhappy?"


    Liu Ye chuckled. "In fact, it''s not worth much. It''s just that there are more clothes and fur, which are usually saved. I originally said that I would pick and choose what I could not put on and give it to the little girls. As a result, my grandmother said that what I was given was good, and it was wasted to give it to the little girls. My aunt''s house is so close. Let me bring back everything I can, and say that I can still use it in the future. "


    The swallow saw that there was a beautiful bookcase in it, so he sighed enviously, "is this box made of mahogany? It''s a beautiful pattern. I''ve only seen it in shops before. It''s the first time I''ve seen a real object. " She wanted to see what was in it, but she didn''t want to put it forward.


    Willow leaf saw out her meaning, immediately quick open box "actually also nothing, is put some pen and ink paper inkstone what."


    The swallow looked at it once. Although he didn''t know much about it, he could see that it was very delicate. So Yanxian said, "your master is very kind to you, and he is willing to give you anything good."


    Liu Ye said with a smile, "we grannies are naturally good, but we don''t give everything. This bookcase is made of Huanghua pear wood. It has always been grandma''s favorite. But later, she accidentally fell and broke this foot. That''s why she rewarded me. "


    After listening, swallow mother and daughter all looked up to see, saw under the bookcase really knock off a nail big place, but do not look carefully, simply can not see. Mr. Chen''s "tut tut" and "tut tut" are two words: "such scars are not a problem at all in our eyes. Your grandmother will not want them. How much silver does this box cost? Sure enough, the behavior of this rich family is different. "


    Liu Ye said with a smile, "in fact, our grandmother is simple, but she is always kind-hearted and treats us as family. I''ve never been stingy of these things. Some grandmothers of wealthy families, if they touch something and fall it, would rather break it or burn it on fire than give it to their servants. They say that they are afraid of losing their identity. "


    Mr. Chen sighed, "I''d like to say that this identity is not piled up with things. Take Mrs. Shen as an example. When I went to see her that day, they were wearing homely clothes and sandalwood hairpins. They couldn''t even see the gold silk. But look at the style of others. You maids in gold and silver can''t hold them down. This is the real status


    Leisurely doesn''t know that Liu Ye''s aunt is praising her here. She thinks that she has just taken care of something on her mind. She is thinking of finding a day to stay in the city for a few days. In the evening, Shen Ze comes back and instructs her.

 Chapter 363

    Shen Ze told her that it was not something else. It was time for someone to go to the Wei family to propose marriage.


    He patted his head leisurely and said, "no wonder I always feel a little nervous recently. It seems that something has happened. If you don''t say it, I will forget it. Say, don''t say is Wei side imperial concubine, is Zhou Wang''s Royal Highness, also seem to have no movement recently


    Shen Ze replied, "it''s said that the king of Zhou hasn''t been feeling well recently. It''s said that he''s not even conscious, and the Tai hospital has been seeing doctors in turn, but he hasn''t improved. The princess of Zhou has already made a memorial for her. Please be the son of the royal family. "


    Leisurely said, "when did this happen? Some time ago, the prince''s anniversary ceremony was still good, wasn''t it? How suddenly, I didn''t go to say hello to the princess and the princess for some days, but suddenly I became deaf and didn''t know anything about it. "


    Shen Ze said, "it''s right not to know. It''s not open to the public. It''s all hidden from the court. Otherwise, just after the anniversary of the crown prince, if there is another crown prince in the royal family, I''m afraid it will be used by people who want to cause confusion among the people. If only you knew it in your heart, don''t spread it out. "


    Leisurely nature is to understand the weight of the beginning, but I can''t help but worry about my fellow countrymen. She thought about it for a night. The next morning, she picked out some new exquisite things from Liuli shop and took them to King Zhou''s residence.


    Princess Zhou was a little surprised when she received the post. According to her daily observation, Lin Youran was always cautious when he went through his hometown. She didn''t expect that she would come to this time of year. Although she had some doubts in her heart, Princess Zhou had her invited in.


    Princess Zhou was not polite. She met her in her inner room. Even the servant girl beside her was a little surprised. Mrs. Shen was the first one to be invited into the inner room by the princess.


    Leisurely come in, see Princess Zhou sitting under the glass window of Chaoyang, holding scissors in paper cutting. Before she came forward, Princess Zhou said with a smile, "OK, there are no outsiders here, so you don''t have to talk about those empty gifts. Come and sit down." Then he told the maid, "go and boil a pot of green brick tea the day before yesterday."


    Seeing leisurely and somewhat polite, Princess Zhou pointed the opposite seat with her chin and said, "don''t stand silly, come and sit." Leisurely see this, then from Su he took the glass utensils, with eyes motioned her to retreat to the outside.


    Leisurely and selfishly, he sat down opposite Princess Zhou, put the box aside, and looked at her clumsy appearance. He could not help but ask, "what do you want to cut, madam?"


    Princess Zhou had a lonely smile: "nothing, I had a dream last night. Dream of my daughter called my mother, she told me in a dream that others have dolls, she did not. In a few days, it will be her death day. I want to cut one and burn it for her to make her happy. "


    Leisurely a Leng, she had heard that Princess Zhou was pregnant with a child, but unfortunately in more than seven months when the abortion. Not only the child did not keep, her body was also hurt ruthlessly, later can not be pregnant. This time I heard Princess Zhou''s almost absurd words, but leisurely I only felt that the words were full of despair and sadness.


    Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Princess Zhou said with a bitter smile, "do you think I''m mentally abnormal like others? My child has not been born yet. I still remember her blue and purple appearance when she was taken away by the lady in the palace. Maybe it''s an ominous sign in other people''s eyes, but in my heart, it''s my flesh and blood. No matter what she looks like, she''s my blood. It''s just a girl, and those people won''t let her go. I thought that as long as I was kind to others, the ending would not be too bad. But people are good at being bullied. Because of my own stupidity and simplicity, I have lost my flesh and blood. " At the end, her voice choked.


    Leisurely can''t help but wet her eyes. She took the scissors in Princess Zhou''s hand and said, "what kind of doll do you want to cut, I''ll cut it for you."


    Princess Zhou is also aware of her gaffe. These words have been choked in her heart for several years, but no one has been telling them. Even the closest maid, because of the different times, may not be able to identify with her ideas. Until today leisurely came, she seemed to see relatives, will unconsciously say so much. Seeing leisurely picking up the scissors, Princess Zhou murmured, "have you seen" little princess Sophia "? When I saw that cartoon, I thought that if I had such a sensible and lovely daughter, my life would be complete. I''ve collected a lot of similar dolls. "


    She said, leisurely while cutting, and when she finished, leisurely had cut a head like Sophia, and said, "what do you think of this?"


    Princess Zhou was a little surprised and said, "it''s a real cut. I''ve heard that you''re skillful. Today, it really deserves the reputation. Let''s cut a bigger one! I want to wear a skirt. "


    Leisurely nod, and soon cut an inch long Sophia like paper-cut. Princess Zhou took it carefully and said, "it''s good. I''ll burn it to my daughter in the future, so that she won''t be lonely in the future."


    Leisurely blinked his eyes hard, forced back the tears in his eyes, and said with a smile, "I''ll cut more for you, one is too few. Our girls at that time, which is not a pile of dolls. I remember my niece liked this at that time. "


    Princess Zhou said with a smile, "OK, cut anything." This is the first time leisurely see her smile so sincere, not that kind of skin smile meat don''t smile perfunctory expression. Leisurely then found out that Princess Zhou was really beautiful when she laughed. Her eyebrows were curved and her eyes were flowing. Leisurely felt that if she was a man, she would be transformed. It''s just a pity! No matter how beautiful a woman meets a man who doesn''t know how to appreciate and care for her, she will only gradually turn zero and wither.


    When the maid came in with the cooked tea and snacks, she saw her Princess and Mrs. Shen sitting on the couch, facing a pile of bizarre paper-cut, where they were discussing the hot topic.


    See servant girl come in, two people tacit understanding of stopped before topic. Princess Zhou took a delicate book bag and carefully cut the doll patterns one by one. Then he said, "take these things away, and tea will be here." The maid tidied up the Kang Table quickly, then put down the tea and bowed back out.


    Princess Zhou pointed to the teacup and said, "I heard Princess Rongjun say that you like black tea, too. Unfortunately, I don''t have Liubao tea here. This green brick tea is good for me. Try it!" Then he took a sip from a teacup.


    Leisurely first praised a tea cup, "this Ru kiln secret color glaze flower rain Ting Li Cup is really beautiful, moist as jade."


    Princess Zhou said impolitely, "OK, I know how much you know. Anyway, I''ve been here for so many years and I can''t understand the glaze at the kiln entrance. I just want to use it. By the way, when you first came here, I made you sad for a while, and I forgot to ask you what happened when you came here today? "

 Chapter 364

    Leisurely grinning, he opened the box he had brought and said, "it''s OK. Last time my mother said that she liked glazed tea sets, but there was no good one in the shop. This time, the set of bamboo leaf cup made by the master is exquisite, so I sent it to the empress. "


    When Princess Zhou saw that the tea set was crystal clear and a little more textured than the glass, she liked it very much. She took a teacup and rubbed it in her hand. "You have a heart, I like it very much."


    Then, with a slightly bitter smile, he said, "now the palace is deserted this week. Even the family members of those merchants are unwilling to come. It''s hard for you to remember to come to see me."


    Leisurely comfort way "road is different, don''t conspire with each other, Niang Niang and they are not the same people, also don''t have to be disappointed."


    Princess Zhou shook her head gently. "I can''t say I''m not disappointed. I''m just feeling that the world is changing. When it comes to the sense of belonging here, I''m afraid I don''t even have half of you. What do I have to do with everything in this world, whether it''s my mother''s family or my mother''s family? " Then he turned to smile and said, "but it''s a kind of fate to meet you here."


    Leisurely return way "yes, can meet Niang Niang here isn''t predestination?"? By the way, I heard that Wang Ye''s health seems not good. I wonder if some of them are effective now? "


    Princess Zhou''s mouth slightly tick "OK, that''s it! I can''t die for a while, but it''s not so easy to recover. "


    Leisurely always feel this strange, after all, did not think deeply. Whether the king of Zhou is good or not has nothing to do with her. What she worries about is only princess Zhou. Now she is relieved to see the other side well. Leisurely, she firmly believes that even if there is something wrong with Princess Zhou, Princess Zhou will live a good life.


    After chatting for a while, leisurely again way "say, this this come over some things also want to see Wei side imperial concubine, don''t know fit?"


    "What can I do for you?" asked Princess Zhou Leisurely said with a smile, "isn''t this one of our prince''s own soldiers and Wei''s mother''s sister? This man is not young, so easily out of filial piety, can''t wait to do the marriage. It was the matchmaker made by the prince and the concubine Wei. I wanted to ask the concubine Wei''s opinion again. "


    Smell speech, Princess Zhou thought of the original king of Zhou and Wei Ruxia steal chicken can''t eat rice things, heart dark joy. But on the surface, she was very sorry. "Alas, since the prince fell ill, Princess Wei was so worried about his illness that she could not take off her clothes after serving him for a while, and then she fell ill. Now I still don''t get up in bed. The doctor said it was because of overwork and sadness. I''m afraid it''s hard to recover after one or two days. It''s just that marriage can''t be delayed. Well, I''ll send a post to the Wei family. You can do whatever you want. Don''t worry about it. "


    Leisurely some hesitant way "is this appropriate? Does the Wei family have any displeasure? "


    Princess Zhou sneered, "don''t worry, what''s the Wei family willing to do now? Don''t say your family is a seven grade official. Now, as long as someone is willing to marry them, even if they are white, Mrs. Wei would like to marry them off one by one, at least to save some money. "


    After listening to Princess Zhou''s words, leisurely had a good idea.


    It was not until after lunch that leisurely left. When she left, Princess Zhou asked people to take two brocade boxes for her and said with a smile, "it''s not polite to come but not go. I''ve got something from you several times. I can''t always take advantage of you. These two are a pair of Ru kiln tea cups and a set of various sachets. I guess you like these things, so I''ll give them to you. "


    Seeing that leisurely wanted to refuse, Princess Zhou said with a smile, "if you refuse, you will take me as an outsider. Although I don''t have as much prestige as my five younger brothers and sisters, I''ve been a princess for so many years. I don''t have such a small thing. It''s enough to build a warehouse. It''s better to give it to you than to put it there for nothing. "


    Leisurely only jokingly said, "in this case, I will not be polite to the empress." After returning home, leisurely opened the two brocade boxes given by Princess Zhou, and sure enough, saw a pair of Lian Li cups with Ru kiln''s Secret glaze in one box. The glaze color is gentle and elegant, and the cup-shaped atmosphere is simple, which is really the type leisurely likes.


    She handed the box to Su He and said, "find someone to wash the cups and put them in the house later."


    Then she opened another box, but she was shocked. Originally, Princess Zhou said that there were all kinds of sachets in it, but leisurely thought it was a more delicate thing made by the interior government. I forget that the sachets here are not only made of cloth, but also of gold, silver and jade. This set of sachets consists of six pairs, all of which are carved with the best Hetian white jade, but the patterns are slightly different. She chose a pair of dark eight immortals to stay. The rest was sent to Shen Xi with a pair of jade cicada patterns. There was a pair of goldfish and lotus patterns in it. Naturally, it was given to Yu Lian.


    When Shen Ze came back in the evening, he suddenly found that he had changed his cup. He said with a smile, "this cup is good. Did you just buy it?"


    Leisurely back way "such Ru kiln cup, a look is the kiln mouth of the previous dynasty left.". Not to mention its value, I can''t find a place even if I buy it with silver. I went to King Zhou''s mansion today and visited her for a week. Last time she fell in love with a set of glazed tea sets in my shop, but the only ones left were all flawed. This time, the new products in the shop look pretty, so I sent them to her. It''s a gift from her. "


    Shen Ze said with a smile, "madam, you have made a lot of money. Your glass tea set is only 100 Liang silver at most. This pair of Ru kiln cups is not impressive, but they came from the famous pine and cypress kiln of the previous dynasty. As you said, a pair of priceless treasures should be at least three or four hundred taels. "


    Leisurely covered his mouth and said with a smile, "it''s more than that! How about these sachets on my waist? "


    Shen Ze took a look at her words and said, "it''s good. It''s exquisitely made and the jade is warm and moist. It''s also top grade in Hetian white jade. What''s the matter? Are these sachets from Princess Zhou? "


    Leisurely smile way "is not a pair, is to give a box, a total of six pairs." Then he untied the next one from his waist to help Shen Ze tie it up, and said, "this sachet material is very heavy. It''s a bit heavy with a pair of sachets. Xianggong, help me share some."


    Shen Ze said with a smile, "I can''t get it." If it wasn''t for the fact that Princess Zhou was a woman and the king of Zhou fell ill and couldn''t get up in bed, Shen Ze would have doubted that some people in King Zhou''s mansion had any wrong thoughts about his wife. That''s generous, isn''t it?

 Chapter 365

    Leisurely, if you know that your husband''s psychology is like this, I''m afraid you will only feel embarrassed. She will definitely say Xianggong, you think too much! It''s true that Zhou Wang is a woman lover, but her fellow traveler is no worse. All the maids around Princess Zhou were the most beautiful, one more beautiful than the other. It''s not much lower than the emperor''s harem. Leisurely is not a person who belittles herself, but she also has basic self-knowledge. She really doesn''t have the upper hand in beauty.


    Leisurely helped Shen Ze fasten the sachet, stood back, looked at it, nodded and said with a smile, "yes, this style is simple and generous. It''s good with any color of clothes. You can wear it."


    Shen Ze smiles. He doesn''t care much about these things. Since his wife has spoken, he just accepts them.


    Two people can''t help muttering about Xu Guang and Wei Ruyun''s marriage. Xu Guang also had a hard life. His parents died early. Fortunately, an elder sister took care of him. His father was a veteran of the capital camp when he was alive. Unfortunately, he lost his life in a fight against bandits. Xu Guang was able to enter the capital camp, but also took over his father''s class. Later, he followed Shen Ze to the imperial army.


    The marriage always needs to be discussed by the two elders, but Xu Guang''s parents are not here. His only elder sister married to Hebei again, so Xu Guang''s marriage had to be managed by the couple.


    Early the next morning, leisurely went to the Wei government with the official media of the original small time. Although Mrs. Wei is young, she is not without means. In the past, uncle Wuyang looked weak and incompetent when he was there. But after uncle Wuyang came out, he got the support of the imperial concubine Wei at that time through his younger son, and firmly held the power of Uncle Wuyang''s house. No matter how many twists and turns happened, in a word, Mrs. Wei finally successfully grasped the whole mansion in her hand, and let her young son inherit the title of the mansion by virtue of the prestige of Princess Wei and the king of Chu. All in all, this is definitely not a simple woman.


    It''s just that no matter how simple it is, in the face of today''s situation, Mrs. Wei has to be a man with her tail between her legs. Fortunately, uncle Wuyang died early and was not involved in the event of Princess Wei. Emperor Longde is also not good to vent his anger on a family of women, children and children. With the face of a couple of children, Wuyang Bofu is barely caught between the rich and powerful in the capital.


    Therefore, in the face of leisurely this is three real power Gaoming, Mrs. Wei appears particularly polite and warm. After listening to her intention, she didn''t show any affectation. She said directly, "Ruyue, the child is not young, so it''s really hard to delay. She has also given her eight characters to her in laws. You can decide the day or whatever. When you decide, let us know that we can make some preparations. "


    Since the Wei family is so easy to talk, then everything is easy to do next. Both families are afraid of long nights and dreams. It was agreed that they would get married on June 18 and September 16.


    Xu Guang, a big old man, didn''t understand this. He was also single. He took out 600 liang of silver and handed it to you ran in front of Shen Ze. "I don''t know what the gold and silver in the betrothal gift should be. I gave the silver to my sister-in-law, and Lao''s sister-in-law helped me prepare the materials and headdress for the betrothal gift. The house at home has already begun to clean up. Last year, I took out the red sour twigs that I had hidden for decades and made a brand-new set of furniture, which is complete from shelf bed to offspring bucket. By the way, I''d like to bring a message to you. Although our family is not rich, I always try my best to prepare a decent dowry. I won''t let Miss Wei be underestimated. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s decent just to prepare headgear and clothes. That''s good. When the first marriage is arranged in a hurry, it will be more lively this time, and it will make other girls like it. "


    Xu guangnao scratched his head. "That''s what I mean."


    Leisurely took the silver, the next day called Shen Jiang over, said with a smile, "you are 18 this year, and so on after the year, the sister-in-law should give you a kiss."


    Shen Jiang didn''t expect his sister-in-law to come up and talk to him about this. Unexpectedly, he turned red for a moment. Leisurely said with a smile, "you don''t have to be embarrassed. In a man''s family, there is always a time to get married. I asked you to come here today, but I have something to give you. My family hasn''t held Wedding Events for several years, and now I don''t know what''s popular in Beijing. You go out to inquire about it. By the way, you can go to brother Xu''s house to see what he has prepared. Let''s not make it heavy. Brother Xu''s family is more difficult. You can''t let his money be wasted. " Of course, leisurely is also to let him touch these things, in the future, when he gets married, he can care about it. Now Shen Jiang is more and more sophisticated, but after a day, he copied a piece of paper from the Xu family and gave it to leisurely. In addition, I also wrote a list of some matters that are popular in Beijing today.


    Leisurely read the list, can''t help but praise Shen Jiang, said with a smile, "you are more and more capable now, this is good, in the future, when you become a pro, you can also set up your own door. Two days ago, I asked my servant girl to make two silk clothes for you. I will take them back one by one. Now that you''ve been out longer and longer, I''ve told the sewing room that I''ll make two more for you every season. Besides, here are fifty taels of silver. Take your pocket money. "


    Shen Jiang was a little embarrassed and said, "I don''t lack food and clothing in this house, and I have monthly silver, and I have a job in the shop. How can I ask for my sister-in-law''s money again? "


    Leisurely let Gansong put his purse to him, "sister-in-law give it to you, you take it. It''s the salary in the shop. This is the allowance given by your sister-in-law. Your sister Xi also has it. As long as you don''t get married for a day, you are still a child here in your sister-in-law, and you should give it as an allowance. You''re an old man. It''s not easy to socialize outside. You''re too tight. Take it Shen Jiang just bowed himself to take it, and his heart became more and more grateful. But the relatives who have turned several corners are hundreds of times better than his sister-in-law. Not to mention that Shen Ze''s family is not poor in money or anything, is his brother''s family poor in money. His parents left thousands of taels of ancestral property, but his sister-in-law didn''t even give him 200 Wen. This person and person, really still can''t compare.


    After reading Shen Jiang''s list, leisurely knows it. After thinking about it in her heart, she went to the Han family''s silver house and ordered a set of gold head face inlaid with ruby, a set of silver head face inlaid with pearl, four sets of plain gold head face and two sets of silver head face. Although the Han family only received capital for her face, it cost 300 liang of silver. Then they sent people to their shop to pick up 20 pieces of various colors of silk and 12 body ready-made clothes, and ordered several pieces of good leather materials from Yutan''s family. The total cost was more than 200 Liang.


    With leisurely eyes, she didn''t like the worse things. But in this way, it seems that there is not enough silver, and there is no such thing as rouge, powder, dowry and mirror case.

 Chapter 366

    When I think about it, Xu Guang has been with Shen Ze for several years. He has always been his right-hand man. Now that he is married, his family should help him.


    Therefore, in addition to some necessary things, people went outside to buy some. Leisurely, he opened his own storeroom and picked up a set of agate and a set of red gold inlaid with pearls from the outside. Leisurely used to dislike the gold used in the headdress. It''s not exquisite. Now it''s very respectable to use it in the betrothal gifts. In addition, she also took four pieces of palace satin, a set of boxwood comb and a pair of South Red Agate mandarin duck jade pendant, and put them in the betrothal gift, which also meant to support him with dignity.


    When Xu Guang saw these things, he didn''t know that Shen Ze and his wife were making up for him. Not to mention the others, just those sets of heads with jewel beads, I''m afraid his little silver would not be enough. He didn''t say any affectation, but he made up his mind in silence. After that, he followed Shen Tongling up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire.


    In addition to Xu Guang''s other good tea and other things, the dowry of the Xu family still attracted a burst of exclamation when it was delivered to the Wei family. In particular, the glittering sets of red gold jewelry in the sun is even more dazzling, and Xu Guang also added 800 taels of silver. If these things were put ten years ago, no one in the Wei family would have paid attention to them. But at the moment, it''s more generous than most people think. In particular, Mrs. Wei, now is inverted, as long as someone wants, she is willing to marry these common women out.


    Don''t say Wei family exclaim, is leisurely also didn''t expect Xu Guang unexpectedly so generous, take out so much money. She also asked Shen Ze in private, "how much is Xu Guang''s salary in one year? Even if there is extra money, there is no such thing. Have you asked? Don''t go out and borrow money. "


    Shen Ze smiles and shakes his head. "You worry too much. Although Xu Guang didn''t save much money, he still has his father. His father had been in the army for more than ten years and had fought many wars. You should know that in addition to the rapid rise of military achievements, it is also the time when these soldiers are most likely to get rich. Besides, some of Xu''s ancestors joined the army. Although Xu Guangping didn''t show up in ordinary days, he always had a few thousand taels of silver in his family''s savings. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "so it is. I was just pondering that Xu Guang''s wedding, plus the wedding banquet, would cost more than two thousand Liang at home. I''m afraid he''s good at it for a while, and then he''ll borrow some money. "


    Shen Ze said with a smile, "don''t look at this boy''s five big and three thick, he is very good at it. Don''t be fooled by him." To say that Xu Guang asked leisurely to help buy betrothal gifts, did he know leisurely would add some to it? Leisurely doesn''t know him. Shen Ze knows that this boy is always active. Otherwise, why did he rush to save other people''s girl when they didn''t react? If he didn''t think carefully, Shen Ze didn''t believe it!


    However, although the boy was a little careful, he always put it out in a bright way and took advantage of it openly. Although a bit shameless, but it is better than those who can not touch the spleen. Many times, Shen Ze would rather use such "villains" than those "gentlemen" who seem to be aboveboard.


    Here, Xu Guang''s marriage is hotly prepared. Over there, Liu Ye also smoothly releases Xiao Ding and prepares the wedding clothes for the wedding. Their aunts felt that their children were not young, so they decided to get married on the sixth day of the first lunar month.


    Leisurely that day, when I went through the warehouse, I found a piece of red Sichuan brocade. I forgot which clothes I made. There are more than two meters left, which is just enough to make a suit. Moreover, this kind of material is thick and dense, which is excellent for making winter clothes. Leisurely let people pack the materials, and then put some miscellaneous small things found in the warehouse into a box for people to send to the willow leaves.


    Liu Ye took the box, opened it and saw that with this Sichuan brocade, her wedding dress was finally settled. The silk leisurely had given her was not bad, but it was too thin to be used in winter. In addition to this Sichuan brocade, there are also a set of burnt peach wood combs, a pair of red peony cover boxes, and some hawksbill hairpins, mother of pearl bracelets and other small things in the box. It''s always a big box.


    Just these days, swallow and her mother-in-law are living in their mother''s home with two children. After meeting this box of things, he immediately envied, "Mrs. Shen is so generous. I didn''t say what she gave me before, but now you are not waiting there, and you can still get many things." Looking at his cousin''s new Sichuan brocade, the swallow was still very angry at the thought of this event. It turned out that a few days ago, Liu Ye gave her a 90% new cocoon silk pile. This dress was originally leisurely. I wore it once after I finished it. On the other day, when I was walking around the garden, I was accidentally hooked a small hole by a branch. Leisurely lazy to clean up again, when replaced, he gave the willow leaves. This dress is rose red, willow leaves rarely wear such a bright color, so I gave it to my cousin.


    Although swallows get many clothes and materials from willow leaves, few of them are so fresh and beautiful. That little hole is nothing. She embroidered a rose and couldn''t see it. I didn''t expect that the clothes had just been mended. She washed them and hung them in the patio to prepare for Xiaoding to wear. I went out and bought a bag of silk thread. When I came back, I found that my clothes were gone. When I asked my family, they said I didn''t see them. The next day he found that his clothes were worn by his sister-in-law.


    This can be the swallow to annoy, now with the sister-in-law tore up. Although the swallow is powerful, she can''t bear to be helped by her mother-in-law. Her fists are hard to beat her feet. She has been torn a lot of hair and her clothes have been torn. As a result, when her husband came back, he did not speak for her, but said that she did not know the general. But the swallow was so angry that he picked up his things that afternoon and went back to his mother''s home with the child in a car.


    Swallows think of these, but also think of their own unreliable, all these days, do not come to pick up their own, it is a heartless!


    Liu Ye turned her head and saw her cousin''s lonely appearance. She reached for a pair of hawksbill hairpins and a string of bracelets and gave them to her. "I can''t wear all of them myself. Please give them to my cousin."


    The swallow pushed her back with a smile. "You have given me a lot of things. You should keep them for dowry. If you really want to help me, you might as well give me two more kinds of Luozi that you will. I listened to you that day and put some loose beads on the Luozi. One can sell more than twice as much. If I beat ten every day, I can sell them for 300 Wen. Besides the capital, I can make a net profit of 200 Wen, which is more than your brother-in-law''s salary as a clerk in a month. If I had this skill before, your brother-in-law''s family would not look down on me like this. "


    Over there, leisurely is calling Yang Lu over to discuss, "two years ago, there was no empress dowager and several princesses in the palace. Many people''s marriages in the capital were delayed because of this. I estimate that there are many families who want to get married before and after this year. They are in a hurry to get married, and it''s too late to do some things at home. My cousin recently asked the silk shop to bring in more fine silk thread, loose beads and other things. She asked her embroidery mother to make some purse and string for preparation. She could also put some of them out. They are not afraid of damage. It doesn''t matter to collect more. "

 Chapter 367

    Yang Lu agreed, "what my cousin said is that I have this intention. I have recently bought a batch of red satin fabrics in the shop, including Dahong, Yinhong, Haitang and so on."


    Leisurely way "this year''s red materials do not worry about selling, you can more tunshang some, if the book money is not enough, and I said."


    Yang Lu said quickly, "enough, enough. In fact, just after the new year, when the price of cloth was low, I stocked a lot of goods. This time, some new designs were put on, and the warehouse was full. Otherwise, for more than half a year, the silk shop would not have earned a cent. My cousin''s heart is big enough. She never asked me. "


    Leisurely, can you say that it''s because the silk shop has the least income, so she forgot? She laughed uneasily. "I believe there''s a reason why you don''t say it. You can make up your own mind about things like this in the future. You don''t have to worry too much. In business, it doesn''t matter if you lose money carelessly. "


    Yang Lu was deeply moved by this and said with a smile, "as long as we are not greedy and rash, and we are our own place, it is not easy to lose money."


    The two said something about the bookshop. Yang Lu thought that the bookshop had to buy new goods. He had to leave before he had time to eat. Leisurely then asked people to pack some fresh fruits and vegetables, ham, fungus and other things for him to take back to eat, and told him to "go back and let my cousin have time to just come and play." Yang LV agreed and left in a hurry.


    Seeing off Yang LV, leisurely he sees that there is only Su he left in the room. He asks, "where are all of them? Why are you the only one left?"


    Su he said with a smile, "just now Liu Ye asked her cousin to send a basket of fresh corn cobs. She said it was just made in the field. She invited grandma and sisters to have a fresh meal."


    Leisurely nodded and said, "Oh, the fresh sticks at this time are really rare. It''s hard for her aunt''s family to grow them."


    "Which is the race of her aunt''s family? It''s not a pity that Liu Ye saw her aunt''s yard empty when she went back. I helped to clear up a small piece of land in the yard, planted this, and planted a lot of jasmine, rose and so on, ready to sell them when they bloom. "


    Leisurely nodded and said, "didn''t you say that her aunt had already vacated the courtyard for her? Liu Ye''s temperament must be embarrassed to live in vain. Naturally, she will try every means to supplement her aunt''s home. That''s some of her thoughts, too. "


    Su he sighed, "sister LiuYe used to be so carefree in this mansion. I don''t know if she can adapt to it this time. When she made a decision that day, didn''t grandma let us go to see it? He Xiucai''s aunt planted a gold hairpin on the willow leaves. Although it was inlaid with red jewels, it was the biggest one on the willow leaves, which was no more than the size of peanuts. The rest were the size of soybeans, and the color was not very pure. It''s far worse than what grandma gives us. Our sisters have been discussing whether to add more valuable jewelry to her these two days, so as to save her poverty in the future. "


    Leisurely shook his head and said with a smile, "if you want me to say it, you don''t have to. I''ve been in this courtyard for a long time, and I don''t know the sufferings of the people. Don''t talk about her. When I didn''t get married, what did the grandmothers of the Lin family wear on weekdays? Who is the general family member who comes out all day wearing pearly jade? She has a lot of jewelry in her private room. I''ll give her a good set when I add makeup. As for you, according to your usual love, you should give more if you are willing to, and don''t force you to give more if you don''t want to. The willow leaves will come back when they stand upright. If you really hurt her, you might as well help her with some sewing. What purse, PAZI and so on, help to do more, she needlework is not good, wedding clothes you are not easy to do, help to do a few sets of clothes, and shoes and so on. If you are considerate and save money, won''t you have both? "


    After hearing leisurely''s words, Su he went back to discuss with Gan song and others. He really thought it was a good idea. So they found out the materials one after another and started to work. Even the little maids who usually made friends with LiuYe also helped. The good ones were only responsible for embroidery, and the poor ones helped with thread management and cutting. After half a month, they made a large bag of purses and handkerchiefs.


    After the thing is done, Su he finds a little guy to send it to Liu Ye. Liu Ye was very relieved when she received something. The wedding date was near, and she didn''t have much time to do needlework in the past half a month. She was worried. These things really solved her urgent need. It turned out that the reason why her cousin swallow''s mother-in-law and swallow tore their face like that was because swallow''s husband had been cheating on her and her mother-in-law, a widowed and niece. It is said that the widow was pregnant with the child of the swallow''s husband. So the swallow took the child back to her mother''s home for so many days that her mother-in-law was not worried at all. The family was eager for the swallow to come forward and leave so that her husband could marry her again!


    Or a little daughter-in-law who had a good relationship with the swallow told her secretly after hearing about it. Swallow is a quick temper, a listen to this at that time will go back to make a big scene, but was stopped by LiuYe. Liu Ye only asked her one question at that time: "cousin, it''s a pleasure to make trouble, but how can it be good in the future? Can the cousins beside you take care of it or not? What will the two children do in the future? "


    Children, is always a mother''s biggest weakness, swallow again strong, see their own pair of children can not help crying. When she finished venting, LiuYe had asked her aunt to inquire about the widow''s situation. And according to swallow''s mother-in-law, sister-in-law and husband''s character, he made a series of plans. It''s not so meticulous and ingenious, but it''s enough for a temporary "alliance" that is not strong enough to collapse and wither in an instant.


    Now, the swallow mother and son have been warmly invited back by her husband''s family. Naturally, her mother-in-law won''t mention the widow''s response. Although the swallow is unfair, she still keeps it in her heart under the advice of her cousin.


    After this, the cousin who used to look at Wen Rou in the swallow''s heart suddenly became extremely strong. If you let swallow use one sentence to describe her cousin, all swallow can think of is "biting dog doesn''t bark". Although this is not so appropriate, the swallow who is not very literate can''t remember the sentence that can describe his cousin


    Even Liu Ye''s aunt and uncle misunderstood that Liu Ye was really a secret. I don''t know, she just stayed by leisurely for a long time. She had seen and heard too many similar events, so she didn''t have to think about it. She planned to say it one by one. If you know that the aunt''s family thinks she is so "smart", Liu Ye will cry to death. She is the dumbest maid in the maid beside grandma Mingming, OK?

 Chapter 368

    After finishing Xu Guang''s work, leisurely began to take his servants to pack up the things at home. The new house has been put in order, only the last curtain is needed. Leisurely first sorted out the cumbersome things in the warehouse that were not used at leisure, and let people move to the new house. In a word, we should clean up there bit by bit to save the busy time in September. On the so-called auspicious day, the main thing is to move the cooker or something, even if the move is completed.


    Usually I don''t think there are many things at home, but now I move here to find that there are many. On this day, when finishing thick clothes, we found four or five boxes of light leisurely clothes. Leisurely originally wanted to pick and choose for the servant girls, and then he thought, if you want to divide it, you have to transport it there. Just transport it.


    In the past two years, there have been many accidents in the palace, and there are still some older single men and women left in the capital. In addition to the matchmaker''s unusual busyness in the capital, all kinds of flower appreciation parties of rich families have never stopped. Leisurely, all day long, there is no time to stop, either to enjoy the flowers or to listen to the opera.


    This afternoon, leisurely good easy did not go out to socialize, is telling the servant girls to take advantage of the sun to dry books there. Listen to the next person to return to say, Han mansion''s Zhuang Mama came over.


    Mammy Zhuang is an old man beside Meng. Leisurely, she received it from the outside of the flower hall and said with a smile, "what''s the matter on such a hot day? Just tell a little girl to come here. How can mammy labor come here in person?"


    Hearing the speech, mother Zhuang said with a smile while saluting, "Madam didn''t want the old slave to come here. It''s the old slave who hasn''t seen her aunt for a long time. She specially asked for this job to say hello to her aunt."


    Leisurely smile way "mammy is really polite, go, the room cool." With a look, Gan song and Su he hurried forward, holding mammy Zhuang''s arm and driving her into the room.


    After going in, she sat down on the top and let mother Zhuang sit on the chair of the next head. Although mother Zhuang was smiling, she did not sit on the chair and went straight to find a stool to sit on.


    Leisurely see, also didn''t force her, while people make tea, smile and ask "mammy come here today, but do you have any orders?"


    On hearing this, mother Zhuang took an invitation card from the little servant girl behind and handed it to leisurely. "Madam is preparing to have a banquet at home on the seventh day of Qiqiao festival in July, inviting the wives of several familiar families to fight and worship Zhinu together. The lady said, "I''m so skillful. It''s a pity if I don''t go."


    Leisurely back to the way, "I go or not, what''s the pity? Horizontal and vertical are already half old Xu Niang, mainly watching the girls play. By the way, who''s going? "


    Zhuang Momo was busy. "Besides the royal highness of our family, there are also Princess Royal, aunt and loyao county. In addition, there are some other families, about ten in total


    Leisurely nodded and said, "it seems that this time the scene is not small."


    Granny Zhuang replied with a smile, "isn''t it? No, there were many noble people on that day, but there were few flowers in pianfu. So the lady asked the old slave to come and see if there were any potted flowers in season, so that she could borrow them for two days. "


    After listening to this, he said with a leisurely smile, "I can''t say that. What does the godmother want? She always comes and goes straight, but she won''t be so narrow, and she will "borrow it for two days"? It must be your uncle who said that this boy, after he became a pro, still jumped out like this. "


    Granny Zhuang said with a smile, "I can''t hide this from my aunt, but I don''t believe in evil."


    Leisurely stood up and said with a smile, "let''s not talk about him. We are in charge of him in the future. Come on, Mammy and I will go to the back flower house to pick flowers


    Mammy Zhuang had only heard of it before, and I''ll see you for the first time today. See so big flower house inside, all kinds of flowers. Some are planted in flowerpots, while others are directly planted in the fields. She pointed to the flowers and trees on the ground and asked with a smile, "if these plants are planted on the ground, won''t they be cheap when they move?" Leisurely back to the way "this is no way to do things, some plants or plant in the ground long good.". Some of them have been transplanted this spring, and there are not many left. We will move them to that house next spring. " Then he pointed to the two pots of Qilixiang with a height of more than one person on one side and said, "although there are many flowers in this season, there are few rare ones. Like those peonies, they are also available in the garden of Hou''s residence. Although these two pots of Qilixiang are a little pure, they are still tall. They are more or less the same. " And then ordered a few pots of gardenia, jasmine and so on.


    Seeing that most of the selected flowers were white, leisurely he found a few pots of purple roses and said, "this is a new Rose I just planted this year. Its name is blue moon. This color is rare in roses. You can take it back with you. It''s just a flower bud. Go back and put it in the Chaoyang room. It''s just in time for the Chinese New Year''s Eve. "


    Finally, she found several pots of colorful four seasons camellia and herbal hydrangeas, and finally got enough for mother Zhuang to take with her when she left.


    Time soon arrived on Qixi. Leisurely, he entrusted Ping''s elder brother to Yulian''s wife. Early in the morning, he took Shen Xi and Tao Liang to Changping Houfu. Shen Xi, needless to say, had to take it with her. Taoliang didn''t plan to take her. It was not because of anything else. She was mainly worried that she was young. It would be the hottest time again. I was afraid that she couldn''t stand it. But Fang Xinsu let people take a message, let her take taoliang, leisurely took her.


    Fortunately, Tao Liang has always been sensible. After sitting in the carriage for more than an hour, he was not tired and sat there obediently. Leisurely, seeing that she was a little stiff, he comforted her and said, "although there are many noble people today, there is still a princess here. But don''t worry too much. Princess Lehui has a good temper. You are young. As long as you stay in a big family, no one will have a hard time with you. "


    Then he told Shen Xi, "it''s a rare big scene today, more people than we''ve ever been to. You don''t need to be too formal when you are young, just be as generous as usual. Also, if you are older, you should carry more taoliang. "


    Leisurely deliberately left early for a while, thinking of coming early to talk to Meng. Sure enough, when they arrived, none of the guests had come. Leisurely at the second door of the sedan chair, looking at mother Zhuang is sending a little good-looking woman out. Leisurely only think that person looks familiar, just for a moment can''t remember which family''s servants came.


    When I got to the flower hall, I saw Meng talking to Princess Lehui with a smile on his face. Leisurely, I took two small guests with me to see the ceremony. I sat down behind the guests of honor and asked, "just now I saw the princess and the godmother all look happy, but what''s the happy event in this house?"


    Meng said with a smile, "although it''s not our family''s, it''s also a great joy for the royal family. Originally, Princess Zhou also said that she would come here today, but just now, the servants of Prince Zhou''s mansion reported that the princess got up early today and felt dizzy. Asked the doctor to see, unexpectedly is the happy pulse! Don''t you think it''s a great joy? "


    After hearing the news, leisurely''s first reaction was not surprise but shock! I''m a fellow townsman. I don''t know what I''m not supposed to do, do I?

 Chapter 369

    Although I was worried about Princess Zhou, leisurely still forced to smile and said, "the princess has been looking forward to it for so many years. At last, it''s hard and sweet."


    Princess Lehui also said with a smile, "it''s not true that such a good person as Sihuang''s sister-in-law has always had a bad fate. I think even God can''t see it, otherwise she would not have given her a child at this time."


    In the palace, at this time, Emperor Longde was also talking about it with empress Meng. "Old four''s body and bones have not been very good. I almost agreed that old four''s daughter-in-law would ask for a discount. Fortunately, I hesitated these days. If not, wouldn''t the fourth daughter-in-law have twists and turns if she gave birth to her own son in the future? "


    Empress Meng said with a smile, "what the emperor said is very true. Don''t say it''s a concubine. I''m afraid the fourth daughter-in-law didn''t expect to have this day? In all these years, the prince''s daughter-in-law is the one who is closest to me. The fourth one is like that... I don''t want to talk about it. Whenever I see the child''s appearance, I feel bitter for her. Now, no matter whether the child is a boy or a girl, she can always have her own flesh and blood by her side and have a hope to live


    Longde Di patted empress Meng''s hand. "I''m sorry for you, and I didn''t let you have a child."


    Empress Meng shook her head with a smile. "What''s wrong with the emperor? My concubine and my mother are all over the world. Are they still young? " Then he found a side story and refused to talk about it again. But he said with a bitter smile that if she was really pregnant, according to the emperor''s favor to the first prince, maybe he would do it himself


    Although leisurely remembers the belly of Princess Zhou, she still has to work hard to help Gao Ming and the girls in Meng''s social intercourse.


    Today''s wives and grandmothers are mainly for the purpose of "selling" their own girls or seeing each other''s girls. Before Xu Shi came, he had already seen almost all of them, so after a little greeting with the master, the people scattered in twos and threes to the garden to talk in secret.


    Even Han, who has been staring at a few 10-year-old girls, occasionally whispers with Meng. People have said for a long time, Fang Xinsu just came over.


    Princess Lehui is the emperor''s own daughter, so it is not necessary to welcome a princess of different surnames. So leisurely, on behalf of Meng, he personally welcomed the second gate and said with a smile, "why don''t you just wait for us to come back?"


    Fang Xinsu was a little surprised and said, "when is this? Are you all here early? " Leisurely nodded: "everyone is worried, naturally want to see early, start as soon as possible, for fear of being cut off late."


    Fang Xinsu sighed, "if there was something similar, I would have come long ago. I don''t know how many banquets I have attended these days, but I haven''t met a few suitable ones. Occasionally, there are two people who look good, and they are given by others early. Do you think we should worry about people? I''m 23 this year. If I don''t hurry up, there won''t be any good girls. "


    Leisurely comforted her and said, "brother Jane now has both a title and real power. I don''t know how many ladies see him as the son-in-law of riding the dragon. It''s just that fate has not arrived. And then, don''t let me say something that you don''t like to hear. "


    Fang Xin plainly said, "we have been friends for many years. If we have something to say, why do we have to be so coy?" Leisurely said with a smile, "according to me, you don''t have to be too eager to inquire about other people''s girls. You didn''t have such an all embracing manner before, but brother Jane''s marriage is so high minded that it''s hard to avoid private discussion. Those ladies who love their daughters think how much you love to handle people when they see you like this. I''m afraid this meeting will be far away. "


    Hearing this, Fang Xinsu shook the fan in his hand and said, "well, a while ago, there were several other wives who asked me about brother Jane secretly, but none of them asked me these two days. I thought all the good girls had been ordered away. It turned out that this was the case, thanks to your reminding me. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "I''m just a spectator." They talked for a while. When talking about Tao Liang, they said leisurely, "I asked Xi''er to take her to the back to play. I''ve been there for a long time. I should go to see her. This is the first time the child has seen such a scene today. I''m afraid she won''t adapt to it. "


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "you should take her out several times in the future. Girls should have more knowledge."


    Leisurely back, "I understand what you mean, but she is still young. Moreover, she has her own mother on her side, but my aunt is not easy to interfere too much in this matter. "


    Fang Xinsu thought, "what you said is reasonable."


    As they talked, they went to the back and saw that a pavilion beside the lotus pool was full of people. Although leisurely can''t see people''s appearance, at a glance, you can see the two bag heads and the butterfly''s green hairpin. This hairpin was inserted by leisurely himself to taoliang in the morning.


    Now see such a situation, leisurely heart "clatter" for a while, just looking forward to nothing unexpected. She quickly walked forward. Fang Xinsu suddenly changed her face and asked, "what''s the matter?"


    Leisurely side back to say, "pavilion that is like taoliang." On the other hand, he came to the pavilion without touching the ground. Several servant girls of Shen family are all here. Seeing her coming, they quickly give way to let them in. Leisurely see taoliang biting his lower lip sitting on the stone bench, a strange girl is taking ointment to help her daub.


    Shen Xi originally stood with his back to leisurely. When he heard the news, he looked back and saw her. He said, "my sister-in-law is coming."


    Leisurely frowned and asked, "what''s the matter?"


    Don''t wait for Shen Xi to reply, Tao Liang''s mouth is crisp. "It''s all right, aunt. I''m just fond of playing. I want to catch a big butterfly, but I didn''t catch it. Instead, I hurt myself."


    Shen Xi was embarrassed to look at the chessboard on the stone table. He said with guilt, "it''s all my fault. I played chess there, but I forgot to look at her. To say, thanks to this girl, it was she who helped taoliang to break her skin. Or she''ll knock her head on the ground. " Then Shen Xi pointed to the girl who had just given taoliang medicine.


    Wen Yan, with a leisurely smile, saluted the girl, "thank you for saving my niece."


    The girl quickly stood up to avoid the past, and then replied, "madam, you''re welcome, but it''s just a little help."


    Leisurely said, "anyway, thanks to the girl''s help. It''s just that the girl looks at me and doesn''t know which family you are from? "

 Chapter 370

    The girl was wearing a light purple dress, calm temperament, smiling, standing there is a good painting. Besides fangxinsu, leisurely is the first time to see someone who can dress purple like this. Seeing this person standing here, leisurely seems to have seen fangxinsu many years ago.


    Hearing leisurely questions, the man gently opened his lips and said with a smile, "my surname is Tang, and the Han family''s aunt is my cousin."


    This smile, leisurely feel that she and Fang Xinsu are not the same. If Fang Xinsu''s indifference is due to her nature, the girl''s indifference is like her indifference after reading the world.


    Wait a minute. Leisurely, it''s easy to stop her wishful thinking. What''s the girl''s name just now?


    Han''s aunt and grandmother married to Yongchang Marquis''s house, surnamed Tang? Leisurely instantly remembered, "the girl is the granddaughter of the late general Tang! Look at the scholarly atmosphere of the girl. I thought she would be a lady of a scholarly family. I didn''t expect to be behind the gate! The Tang family is full of loyal people. I often hear Xianggong say that I admire them very much. I just don''t know when the girl came to Beijing? If you had known that the girl had come to the capital, you should have visited her early. "


    Seeing her eagerness, Fang Xinsu on one side couldn''t hold on to a smile at first. She said with a smile, "you''ve been talking for a long time, but you haven''t reported yourself. Do people know who you are? Fortunately, you''re a woman. If you wear men''s clothes, others will think you''re the apprentice. " After that, he joked in a low voice, "when will you change your salivation when you see a beautiful woman?"


    Leisurely smile looked at her one eye, the expression in the eyes means not to change. Instead, he put on a moderate smile and said to Miss Tang, "look at me, I''m so happy to see the girl patronizing me. I forgot to report myself. My husband, Shen Ze, the commander of the Imperial Army, was lucky enough to take part in the first stop of Yumen pass. When he came back, he often told me that thanks to the efforts of the general Tang and his family to delay the rebels for some time, fangpan city was saved. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. It''s just that more than 80 people in the Tang family died. It''s really admirable. "


    "It''s also an honor for the family to be loyal to the country," said Miss Tang. By the way, just now I saw that the little girl was flexible and seemed to have practiced Kung Fu. It''s very rare. "


    Leisurely see her don''t want to talk about the Tang family, think it is touched each other''s heart, can''t help but heart chagrin. I heard that Miss Tang changed her words and said, "this girl is always naughty. Last year saw his uncle at home boxing, must follow the school, her uncle was entangled can''t, taught her Wuqinxi. This child has been practicing for one year, and it can''t be said that he has made any achievements, but he is really more agile than children of the same age. "


    At this time, I saw a group of people coming from the bamboo forest. The leader saw Miss Tang and said with a smile, "my cousin is here. I''m looking for you everywhere." Then he saw Fang Xinsu and leisurely on one side and said, "the princess and sister are here too. The maid said that the banquet has been arranged. Let''s go there together."


    So they went to the front with each other.


    At this time of the banquet is nothing special novel, nothing more than some headgear, rouge powder and so on. But don''t underestimate these. Many ladies with a sensitive sense of smell can see a lot of secret things from your dress and behavior.


    For example, at this time, leisurely looking at the Han family''s aunt and grandmother, Yongchang Marquis''s family''s grandmother in charge, although dressed brightly. But the material should be the palace satin of last year. Although the Red Phoenix and the rising sun on her head looked like jewels, she still remembered that it was her dowry when she came out of the cabinet. It is said that the interior of the Yongchang Marquis''s mansion has been exhausted, but now there is only an empty shelf. Is this posture true?


    Think of here, leisurely some worry forget a Tang girl. At the beginning, the Tang family all died, leaving only two of them. After that, in addition to giving young master Tang a title, Emperor Longde seemed to have a lot of gold and silver jewelry. Now the sister and brother live in a foreign country. I don''t know if they will suffer from dumb losses? She knew in her heart that the eldest daughter of the Han family had no lack of tact when she looked at her smile. Otherwise, the Yongchang Marquis''s house would not be able to marry a common daughter to his eldest son. I just hope that Miss Tang will not be wronged in the Yongchang Marquis''s residence. If you know leisurely at the moment, aunt Han''s grandmother may be able to cry on the spot to show her that I am the one who has been wronged, OK? Oh, my God, somebody take this brother and sister together! Can''t you get away with it? Let the two brothers and sisters live in the house again, the old woman Taiyuan''s thin private house is estimated to be coaxed by them. Is it not in vain for her to compromise and bear humiliation over the years?


    In a word, this kind of banquet is like this. Everyone has different thoughts in their hearts, but on the face, they are all talking and laughing peacefully. Even if we are trying to find out each other, we''ve made more than ten turns. If we haven''t read for several years, we can''t understand some words.


    It''s so easy that when the banquet is over, she is still thinking about Princess Zhou''s pregnancy. Just as she is going to say goodbye to Meng, she stops her and says, "sister, stay here. We''re going to have a flower feast in our house in a few days. Would you like to see her?"


    In full view of the public, no matter how cold and leisurely their relationship is, they don''t give her face. They smile and say, "what do you say? How can our sisters say it? If you say hello, can I not go? " What''s more, now that Miss Tang lives in her home, leisurely also wants to see the real situation of the heroine.


    Aunt Han''s grandmother was named Han Yuanzhen. When she heard that leisurely was so happy, she said with a smile, "in this case, I''ll send someone to your house tomorrow to send the post." If Han Yuanzhen didn''t look up to her sister Gan who was born as a servant girl before she got married, then she realized that no matter how high your title is, even if you don''t have real power, you can''t move in the capital full of powerful people. Therefore, she is happy to make friends with leisurely now. But when she was in the boudoir, in the face of such an "outsider" as leisurely, Han Yuan Zhen ignored the provocations and difficulties of her sisters even though she didn''t take the initiative to fight against them. As a result, leisurely seldom gets in touch with the Han family, which is a poor impression.


    Han Yuanzhen was afraid that leisurely would not give her face, so she found such an occasion. Unexpectedly, leisurely agreed very readily, and did not have any expression of unwillingness. Han Yuanzhen was relieved.


    Leisurely after farewell, let Shen Xi take taoliang single seat a carriage to go back first. He and his servants went to King Zhou''s house in a hurry.


    Princess Zhou was leaning on the bed to drink Antai soup. Seeing her coming, she asked her to sit down and said, "you''re really well-informed."


    Leisurely in the side of the embroidered pier sat, see she is still in the slow soup, in the heart anxious. It was so easy that when she finished the soup and gargled her mouth, she gave a leisurely look. Then Princess Zhou waved her servant girls to quit.


    She chuckled and asked, "what''s the matter? Look at you scratching your ears in a hurry? "


    Leisurely biting his lower lip, he asked in a low voice, "is the child in your stomach King Zhou''s?"


    Princess Zhou looked dark and said softly, "if I say no, what should I do?"

 Chapter 371

    Leisurely although already had the psychological preparation, but hears this words still cannot help saying "you, your courage is also too big some, the matter up to now always must think of a panacea is good."


    Princess Zhou looked up at her and said, "what''s the best policy?"


    Leisurely way "I don''t know who the father of the child is, but can let you see, presumably not ordinary people.". Since he is responsible for this, there is no reason for him to stand on dry land. While the king of Zhou is now in deep illness, it''s better to suffer from it forever! This child can only be the flesh and blood of the king of Zhou. "


    Princess Zhou chuckled, "is this child the king of Zhou? Oh, Hello, I''m so happy. Have you read too many time travel novels, where are you


    Smell speech, leisurely but some accident "the child is really the king of Zhou?"? I thought you had a bad relationship! "


    Princess Zhou sneered, "it''s really a bad relationship, but I can''t help having drunken promiscuity. Now I''m glad to have that one, or I can''t have this child. " Then he laughed at leisurely again, "what do you think in your mind? Don''t talk about me. You''re just a third grader. It''s not easy to go out on weekdays. It''s not so easy to have a private meeting with a man who doesn''t know it, is it? What''s more, I''m a servant girl with a strict mouth, but there are still some eunuchs and maids from the palace, and there are bodyguards in the outer court. It''s not easy to hide from so many people and meet outsiders. Not to mention anything else. "


    With that, Bai said, "how many years have you been here? Do you still believe the plots in the novels


    Leisurely did not have the good spirit to return a way "I this is not cares then disorderly? You''re the only fellow here. I''m afraid you''ll have another accident, aren''t you? You make fun of me. It''s nothing to worry about. "


    Princess Zhou pulled her hand with a smile. "Well, I''m wrong. Madam Shen has a lot of money. Don''t be angry with me."


    Leisurely smile looked at her stomach, "for the sake of the baby, I barely forgive you."


    Now that I know that there is nothing to do with my pregnancy, I put down my heart and went home before dark.


    After Shen Ze came back, he also mentioned the matter: "I heard that Princess Zhou is pregnant. Do you know?"


    Leisurely busy way "early know, Princess Zhou originally said today also go, did not expect to check birth pregnancy, so specially sent a servant to tell. I went to visit you this afternoon, but I didn''t expect you to be so well informed in the Yamen. "


    Shen Ze shook his head with a smile and said, "where is it? At noon, when I went to the palace, I heard the little eunuchs talk about it. It''s said that the emperor and the empress are very happy. "


    Leisurely way "yes, the king of Zhou''s disease, see the hope of recovery is dim, I heard earlier that the emperor in the king of Zhou''s several concubines wandering, so has not determined the prince''s house. I hope Princess Zhou can give birth to her own son this time Then she talked about the girls of the Tang family. "I didn''t expect that I met the eldest lady of the Tang family at the godmother''s home today. She was so beautiful. You have something to do with general Tang. I didn''t know that before, but now that I know that their brothers and sisters have come to Beijing, should we send someone to send something to them? "


    Shen Ze nodded, "you just look at these little things. Alas, God has eyes. The Tang family''s loyalists have left such a little blood."


    Leisurely also nodded and echoed, "isn''t it? The sky has eyes. By the way, they now live in Yongchang Marquis''s house. You''ve heard the family''s comments. And my sister is not good at it. Tomorrow, you might as well ask someone secretly to see if their sister and brother have suffered any grievances in the Tang family? " Naturally, Shen Ze''s mouth is full.


    They said something else and went to bed after washing. The next day, Han Yuan Zhen sent an invitation to her mother-in-law. The old lady also married from the Marquis''s residence in Changping. Her surname is Li. Naturally, she is familiar with her words.


    Leisurely said with a smile, "go back and tell my elder sister that I will definitely go at that time. Just let her prepare good tea and snacks. Besides, I have some things here for the big girls and young masters of the Tang family. I was going to take someone to see me off. Since you''re here, I''ll take you back by the way. In addition, there are some excellent lychees and red bayberry outside. You can take some back and give your grandmother a taste. "


    After that, she asked someone to bring her a first-class seal. Naturally, Mrs. Li was very busy.


    When Mrs. Li returned to Hou''s house, Han Yuanzhen was talking with the old lady in Qingfu hall. Mrs. Li went in quietly and whispered back to her.


    Seeing this, Mrs. Liu, the second wife, asked with a smile, "what are you two whispering about?"


    As soon as the words came out, everyone in the room naturally looked at them. Fortunately, Han Yuan Zhen has been used to it, when the following does not change the color of the smile, "two aunts all said it was whispering, how good to say it in this public?"


    Without waiting for Liu''s retort, he got up and said with a smile to Tian Shi, the old lady of Yongchang Marquis''s residence, "just now I sent someone to send a post to my eldest sister of my mother''s family. Eldest sister asked her servants to bring something to me. I''ll go back and see how I can reply."


    Seeing that she had just bypassed herself with a slight sentence, Liu was chagrined. Finally, she felt that she had caught hold of her pigtail and asked, "aren''t you the eldest daughter of the Han family? When did a elder sister come out again? "


    She specially pointed out the word "elder daughter" in order to disgust Han Yuan Zhen. I didn''t expect that Han Yuanzhen didn''t feel sad about it. Her father didn''t have a daughter. What happened to the concubine? It''s the eldest daughter, isn''t it?


    At present, Han Yuan Zhen replied with a smile, "second aunt, don''t you forget that my mother has officially accepted a adopted daughter, which is now the wife of the commander of the imperial guards. She is a little older than me, and naturally she is my sister."


    Liu Shi doesn''t know this. She asked on purpose. After hearing this, she sneered, "it''s hard for you. It''s clear that she is also a miss, but she wants to call someone who comes from a servant girl to be her sister. It''s thanks to you to shout out."


    The eldest daughter-in-law of the second room is Liu''s niece. Naturally, she helps her mother-in-law to speak. She also smiles and says, "thanks to the big sister-in-law''s kindness, I have to change it for me, but I can''t shout it out." It is obvious that he despises leisurely in his words.


    Not to mention that now Han Yuan Zhen intends to make friends with leisurely, even when the relationship is stiff, she can''t sit back and watch outsiders belittle leisurely. Then he stood up and said in a cold voice, "what do you mean by this? What happened to the origin of the maid? Isn''t our empress dowager also a servant girl? No matter how poor my elder sister is, she is now the wife of Gao Gaoming, and her brother is also a senior official. Why do you look down on people? "


    This made Liu''s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law look at each other. Ding, the wife of the third room, would not hesitate to interrupt and say, "second sister-in-law, they are just saying, why should Yue''s daughter-in-law be so reluctant?"

 Chapter 372

    What Han Yuan Zhen hates most is this three aunts. She looks at a Bodhisattva like picture on weekdays, but she is ruthless in private. Every time she didn''t want to do it herself, she only encouraged her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to do it. She just hid behind and picked up the cheap.


    Like this meeting, it''s obvious that the second wife''s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are rude first. When she says this, it seems that she is aggressive?


    Han Yuan Zhen took a deep breath, and then managed to suppress her anger. But without waiting for her to speak, she heard a clear voice slowly saying, "the third aunt''s words are biased. My cousin was not aiming at the second aunt and the second sister-in-law. It doesn''t matter if our relatives say some jokes, but now Mrs. Shen is in a high position, no matter she is in her mother''s family. If this kind of disrespect is spread to Mrs. Shen''s ears, it''s not to say that her cousin has lost face, but I''m afraid that all of us will not get well. "


    Not to mention the second and third room people, even Han Yuanzhen himself did not expect that this has always been some dust-free cousin would help himself.


    The old lady, who had been watching for a long time, said directly, "well, that''s it. No more talk. Second daughter-in-law, you should pay more attention to what you say and what you do in the future. If you speak freely, will you offend all your relatives? Learn more from your sister-in-law and be more dignified. That''s the style of your wife. " After that, without waiting for Liu''s explanation, he waved his hand and said, "OK, go back to your room if you have nothing to do. I have a headache when I hear you quarrel. Sister Ying, come and rub it for me. "


    Seeing that Mrs. Tian''s face was already quite impatient, they all dared not talk about it and withdrew one by one.


    Outside the Qingfu hall, Mrs. Fu saw that her daughter-in-law was still behind her and said, "what''s the matter with you? Go ahead and get busy. Don''t follow me. Later, when my elder brother leaves school, take him and his sister to my place for dinner


    Han Yuan Zhen answered with a smile. On the way back, she thought that if her mother-in-law and her husband were not reasonable and strict, she would not have been able to stay. I just didn''t expect that the cousin of the Tang family would speak for her today.


    As she thought about it, she went back to her yard and saw that there were so many things on the table. She was surprised to ask, "why so many things?"


    Mrs. Li replied quickly, "except for the two fruits and the two pieces of silk yarn, the rest are for the master and the girl."


    Han Yuanzhen frowned, wondering what leisurely means. It''s said that Tang''s cousin saved her niece yesterday. If she only wanted to thank her, she didn''t need to send something to her cousin. She shook her head gently and said, "send all these things to my cousin and let her distribute them by herself."


    Then she took a look at the litchi and bayberry in the bamboo basket and said faintly, "this is the first time to see the fresh fruit from the south this year. She picked out two plates of good fruit and sent them to the old lady''s room. My cousin was a guest from afar and gave her a dish. After all, if the number is less, the next house will be free. Put the rest in the ice basin and let him have a taste when uncle comes back in the evening. "


    In the past, she worried about face, how can not in the big face with the two rooms, three rooms of people. Today I have to be willful, but I don''t pay attention to you. So what?


    Leisurely can''t imagine that it''s just some fruit, which has caused so much trouble in the Yongchang Marquis''s residence that even the flower Appreciation Banquet originally scheduled has not been completed.


    However, these and leisurely are external affairs, and she just put them aside after listening to them. After all, she has too many things to be busy with, and she doesn''t pay much attention to other people''s family affairs.


    On that day, Fang Xinsu came to her and said, "July 15 is the day of Buddha''s happiness. There will be a temple fair in Huangxing temple, and there will be some things to do. You go with me


    Leisurely some doubt asked "you used to these things but always do not care, such a hot day, when people crowded, you do not feel noisy?" Fang xinsubai said, "I''ve never seen anyone who doesn''t like to go out than you, and it''s not boring to stay at home all day. They all come up with a way, but they don''t have a chance. You''re good. There''s no one to control them. They stay at home all day. " Then, fearing that she would not go, Fang Huan said, "don''t worry, it''s a royal temple. Those who are not high-level can''t get in, and there are not as many people as you think. Besides, there are many thousand year old trees in the temple, which are cool and not hot at all. You can come with me and give me a hand by the way. "


    Leisurely smell speech, interest of ask a way "palm eye, isn''t it you see in which of the girls?"


    Fang Xinsu nodded, "exactly. I look at the eldest daughter of the owner of Jinghua County. She is very nice. She is generous and polite. Last time the empress celebrated her birthday, she painted a flower and bird painting herself, which is very good. I''m a little younger. I''m only 17 years old this year. But I heard that the head of Jinghua County has already started to help her look after others. I just thought, "I''ll go and find out what the county leader says."


    Leisurely was not very familiar with the clansmen, so he asked, "what''s the origin of this Jinghua County Leader?"


    Fang Xinsu replied with a smile, "she is the eldest daughter of Princess Deshun, so she was granted the title of county leader. At the beginning, Princess Deshun was the second son of the Qin family, and now the Minister of the Ministry of work, Lord Qin, is the nephew of Qin''s son-in-law. As for the princess, she gave birth to two sons and one daughter with Qin''s son-in-law. Her daughter is the head of Jinghua County, and she married Bo Shizi Zhong Yue


    This network of relations around, anyway leisurely listen to is a little dizzy. She can''t help looking at Fang Xinsu sympathetically. "You''ve recorded so many people in the clan for a long time, haven''t you?"


    Fang Xinsu replied, "that''s natural. Do you think the princess of this county eats dry food? However, over such a long period of time, what I remember is that I can''t distinguish the few companies that usually have contacts with each other, some of which don''t walk around very much. " Then he patted her hand with a fan and said, "come on, are you going or not?"


    Leisurely smile way "you said so, I naturally is to sacrifice my life to accompany the princess."


    On the 15th of July, leisurely finished wearing clothes early in the morning and went to Rongjun Palace by car. Huangxing temple is in the west of the city. It''s just passing by here. It''s not a side road.


    After meeting, they went to Huangxing Temple by car. Although this is a royal temple, the threshold is much higher, but whose family has no relatives and friends? Therefore, the temple is full of people today.


    Fortunately, Fang Xinsu''s rank was high enough. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the temple, some Zhike monks came out to greet him and entered the temple directly from the special channel.


    No matter what plan you have in mind, now that you are here, you have to go to the Buddha first and donate some sesame oil money. The Zhike monk, Fang Xinsu, donated 500 taels of silver, and leisurely also donated 200 taels. Naturally, he was chanting Buddhism. At the moment, he said with a smile, "the white lotus in front of the temple is just in bloom. Many ladies and ladies have gone to enjoy the flowers, and some people have put river lanterns there. If the princess and Mrs. Shen have nothing else to do, they might as well go and enjoy it."


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "the white lotus of Huangxing temple is always famous. Even if the master doesn''t say it, we are going to go."

 Chapter 373

    Fang Xinsu and leisurely come here for the first time. I heard that there is a white lotus pond here, but I didn''t care much about it. But when I came to the front yard and saw the real scene, I was shocked. I saw many white and flawless lotus flowers spread all the way to the horizon against the background of the green lotus leaves. It looked like endless from afar.


    Just now in the main hall, I never thought that the lotus pool was so huge. It was more than a pool?


    There is a wooden bridge above the pool, and it turns to the distance. There are small pavilions at every turning point. At this time, many women''s families have gathered on it to talk and chat.


    They stood by the pool and looked up. For a moment, they couldn''t find the figure of the owner of Jinghua County, so they had to walk along the pool and look at it.


    Two people walked not a few steps, there is a woman in charge to catch up with "maidservant to the princess and Lady Shen please." The old lady is the right one around the leader of Leyao county. Leisurely, they are both familiar. Fang Xinsu and le Yaosu are close to each other. When they meet her, they smile and ask, "Why are you here? Is your master here? "


    "Isn''t it?" the woman said? The head of our county is resting in the waterside pavilion in front of us. She has looked at you from a long distance and asked the maidservant to invite you to sit down. " Then he reached out and pointed to a waterside pavilion in the distance.


    Smell speech, two people all raise eyes to look over there, as expected see that water Pavilion sat several people. It''s just too far apart to see clearly.


    So Fang Xinsu asked with a smile, "who is there?"


    The woman replied, "and the Lord of Jinghua County and his wife are not outsiders. The princess and his wife just go there."


    As soon as you hear that the Lord of Jinghua County is there, Fang Xinsu and leisurely look at each other. Naturally, they want to get together in the past.


    When we got to the waterside pavilion, we saw five or six ladies sitting in the waterside pavilion. There were dozens of maids outside.


    The two people had seen the ceremony in the past, and Fang Xinsu saw Jinghua coming alone, so he asked, "why didn''t the county master bring the money together?"


    The owner of Jinghua County said with a smile, "the child has always been afraid of heat, and these days he has some problems, so he didn''t take her with him."


    Li Guogong''s wife on one side said, "Miss Zhong is really out of style. She is more and more beautiful. She has a good personality and a lot of literary talent. I don''t know what kind of son-in-law I need to find for such a good girl! "


    The owner of Jinghua County said with a reserved smile, "I''ve discussed with her father, but I don''t really care about the family background. As long as the child''s character is good, he is willing to make progress. Originally, I was a little anxious and busy to show her. But just now, when I went to find master Miaozhen to do divination for her, the master said that the child was suitable for late marriage, and her marriage would not appear until a few years later. I''m just in a hurry. I don''t know if there is any good son in a few years. "


    These ladies always talk like this. They don''t go straight. Just be gentle. Although Fang Xinsu didn''t quite understand why Jinghua County leader, who was very interested in his brother two times before, suddenly changed his mind today. But since the other party does not want to, she will not force. There is no grass in the world! She doesn''t believe that she can''t find a good brother-in-law!


    Although he was a little annoyed, Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "master Miaozhen''s words never lie. Now that everything has been said like this, the county leader doesn''t have to worry. He thinks that there will be a wonderful son waiting to be your son-in-law."


    Originally, Li Guogong''s wife also had some small ideas of her own. Her son was the same age as the Zhong family girl... But this meeting, people said so, so she didn''t have to think about anything. Fortunately, my son is still young, but not too anxious. At the moment, Fang Xinsu said, "that''s to say, you don''t have to be in a hurry to make your daughter small."


    At this time, Yue Yao said with a smile, "I''ve been talking for a long time. Let''s drink some tea to moisten our throat." Then, there was a maid holding up a delicate glass tea tray with five small sunflower shaped glass tea cups on it. The green tea was poured inside, making it more fresh and pleasing to the eye. Le Yao picked up a cup and said, "this is Longjing before the rain this year. It''s just tea. It''s not rare for everyone. But there is something in the water. Let''s try it. " Say to take the lead to drink a mouthful, the public sees, also in succession carry tea cup to taste.


    After drinking, Mrs. Li first said with a smile, "I''ve always been careless, I don''t know much about it, and I don''t pay so much attention to tea. However, just looking at the appearance of the tea, I know it''s the best in Longjing. It tastes light when I drink it, but it''s sweet and mellow after entering my throat. It''s really a long aftertaste. "


    Hearing the words, Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "my wife still says that she doesn''t know much about it. It''s not like people who don''t know tea can say it."


    Mrs. Li replied, "I don''t know any more. I''ve been drinking for most of my life. I still know some basic knowledge. But if you want me to say what''s the difference in the water for making tea, I can''t drink it. "


    The lady of Li Guogong was very magnanimous and generous. She appreciated this leisurely, so she couldn''t help smiling.


    Unexpectedly, this smile let the opposite Jinghua County Lord see in the eye. Although she didn''t say it, she still looked down upon leisurely''s family background in her heart, and even faintly felt that her deskmate had some self surrender status. But now she is also a powerful person''s Gaoming, Jinghua also does not want to offend very much, so she has to be perfunctory.


    Just now, when Yue Yao talked about the water, she was a little disdainful, and only these young people would care about these things. Isn''t tea used to quench thirst? How can she be so particular? She doesn''t have any taste, but she doesn''t say it like Mrs. Li. How shameful! This will see leisurely smile, Jinghua can''t help stabbing, "look at Mrs. Shen''s confident appearance, can''t it be that she has tasted the mystery of the tea making water?"


    Leisurely a Leng, don''t know this Jinghua County Lord how to hurtle oneself to come over. However, she didn''t mean to be clumsy. Since someone asked, she said directly, "I tasted a faint smell of lotus in this tea. Is it the dew on the lotus that I collected?"


    Yue Yao said with a smile, "you know you can''t hide sister Lin''s mouth."


    Jinghua originally wanted to pinch leisurely, but unexpectedly, she tasted the water. This meeting could only smile and say, "I didn''t expect that Mrs. Shen was also a person of mediocrity and elegance."


    Leisurely light back way "can''t talk about what elegant, just usually have nothing to do, like to think about these things."

 Chapter 374

    At this time, Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "you don''t know, this man can make do with a little food and tea on weekdays. But if I really pay attention to it, it''s not so meticulous. Even I feel inferior sometimes. "


    Yue Yao also said with a smile, "that is, I always admire sister Lin''s eyes. This set of tea sets is from her glass shop, and the styles of the utensils inside are all designed by her. "


    Jinghua chuckled in her heart, but on her face she complimented, "Mrs. Shen really has enough leisure. For example, I just want to be elegant, but I can''t be elegant because I''m so busy with things in the town."


    The meaning of this is more obvious, leisurely is also the wife of the family, OK? Jinghua''s words mean that she is not doing her job. Seeing that people''s families have come to bully them, leisurely can''t be too weak. At present, he said, "the county leader is too proud. Naturally, our small family is not as big as the big business of the grand Bofu family. I think the county leader must have worked very hard on weekdays. In contrast, I''m much more leisurely. "


    The others were a little surprised. How could these two people have the meaning of tit for tat.


    Mrs. Li Guogong has known Jinghua for many years. Naturally, she knows her competitive nature. Seeing this, it is Jinghua''s first choice. Although it''s not easy to show partiality and carefree, it''s also easy to turn the conversation around, take the tea set on the table and say with a smile, "this tea set is really designed by Mrs. Shen herself. It''s really beautiful and unique. I don''t know where your glass shop is? I''ll go and have a look when I have a chance, and I''ll choose a satisfactory one. "


    But before waiting for a leisurely reply, Jinghua said, "Mrs. Li Guogong should be more careful with her purse. It''s said that the things in Mrs. Shen''s shop are not very expensive."


    Mrs. Li replied, "good things should be more expensive. Although I can''t compare with the rich dowry of the county leader, I can still afford to buy a set of tea sets. "


    Seeing Li Guogong''s Wife talking for herself, she felt grateful and said with a busy smile, "it''s rare that my wife likes it. I''ll ask someone to send you a set later."


    Li Guogong''s wife quickly said, "I''m not paid for my work. How can I ask for your things for nothing?"


    Leisurely said with a smile, "today is the first time I met my wife, but I feel that I am destined. It''s just a little intention. Please don''t refuse


    Le Yao also said to one side, "madam, you don''t have to be polite to her. My sister has a lot of wealth."


    Hearing this, Mrs. Li said with a smile, "in this case, I''m not polite."


    At this time, Le Yao''s servant girl brought up two more refreshments. Le Yao pointed to one of the refreshments and said, "I heard that this delicious snack in the county master''s house is the best. You might as well ask the county master to taste what we made at home, or give us some advice."


    Jinghua was not angry when she saw that they were all helping leisurely talk, but it was not good for the public to leave. She was just angry. Now see Le Yao gave her steps, but also turn around very quickly. At that moment, he picked up a piece of Longjing crisp and bit it. He said with a smile, "this heart is very good. It''s just that the astringent taste is bigger. Just put less tea powder."


    Seeing them talking about snacks, leisurely was relieved. Although she was not afraid of anything, she didn''t want to make a scene because of a few quarrels.


    On the way back, Fang Xinsu also talked about it. "I don''t know what happened to the Lord of Jinghua County? Have you ever offended her? Why have you been aiming at you like this? What''s more, she didn''t know what medicine she was selling? It''s clear that last time I inquired about brother Jane eagerly, but now her daughter is not suitable for early marriage. If there''s nothing fishy here, I don''t believe it? "


    Leisurely straightened the fringes around his waist, and slowly said, "maybe what people say is true. No matter what she does, the young lady of the Zhong family has no chance with your younger brother. You have to look at the girls next to you again. " Fang Xinsu sighed, "my younger brother is also suffering. It''s not going well in marriage. Go back and ask him to take the marriage talisman I just asked for in the temple, so that the Buddha can bless him to get married and have children as soon as possible. "


    After returning home, leisurely picked out a set of good tea sets and a set of wine utensils and sent them to Mrs. Li Guogong. Cheng, the wife of the Duke of Li, thought that what she said was just a cliche. After all, leisurely Liuli shop is famous in the capital, and Cheng didn''t know as much as she said. She once had a cup given by someone else. It is said that one was specially made and the other one cost hundreds of taels of silver, but it was accidentally broken by her own boy. Cheng originally wanted to buy another one, but the price was not very cheap. He spent hundreds of taels of silver to buy a cup that could be broken at any time, which seemed a bit luxurious to Cheng.


    This time, leisurely gave her two sets of glass utensils, which made Cheng feel that Mrs. Shen was really generous. It''s just that she doesn''t want to take such a valuable thing for nothing. I heard that the Shen family is moving recently. Later, she asked someone to send a set of boxwood carvings and a narcissus bonsai inlaid with ivory and jade.


    Although both of them were surprised by each other''s extravagance, they also felt that they could make friends with each other. Therefore, although they were a generation younger, they gradually became familiar with each other.


    In the twinkling of an eye, in August, leisurely and busy with the mid autumn ceremony.


    On the second day of junior high school, the good news came from the palace that Princess Feng gave birth to the eleventh prince, the emperor Longyan Dayue. On the spot, she was named Zhao, which means to shine on the earth. In addition, Princess Feng of Jin Dynasty was the imperial concubine. For a moment, Feng Fei''s mother and son were in the limelight.


    Even if the heart is no longer willing, the prince was born, leisurely also had to grit their teeth to pick a gift to the palace.


    With the birth of the eleventh prince, there was a sudden change in the court hall. Some officials who had been holding on to the thigh of the king of Liang were shaken at this time. In particular, after Longde praised the seventh Prince several times, more people were shaken.


    That day, Shen Ze came back to talk about it with leisurely, and leisurely sighed, "the world is cold, and I don''t know how the lady is feeling now?"


    Shen Ze said, "Niang Niang always has a high heart, and few people can see her eye, but she has always treated you differently. Why don''t you send a post to comfort your mother and send the Mid Autumn Festival to her by the way. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "Xianggong and I think the same, I have sent the post, but I don''t know when the princess will be free." Then he took a piece of paper and handed it to him to look at it. "This is my gift for this year. What''s wrong with it?"


    Shen Ze took a look at the post and saw that this year''s gift list to King Liang''s house was not simple, but two points thick. He praised it in his heart and said, "madam, you have a heart."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "the empress is not short of our ideas, but at this time, we have to help the empress stand up first."

 Chapter 375

    Soon Shen Tian asked someone to reply. He was free on the sixth day of junior high school. So on the sixth day of August, leisurely took Shen Xi to the palace of King Liang to greet Shen Tian.


    It''s just that the house of King Liang, which has always been popular, seems a little lonely. Although it seems that there is still an endless stream of people coming to give gifts, with a leisurely eye, you can see that the level of these people is more than one level lower than before.


    Leisurely heart sighed, face as usual into the backyard of the palace. Shen Tian and her daughter, Princess Shujia, have been waiting there for a long time. Leisurely''s aunt and sister-in-law salute Shen Tian first, but they also salute Shujia. Shen Tian stops them. "She was a younger generation, and there are no outsiders here, so there''s no need to be polite."


    Then Shen Tian told Shu Jia to "take your aunt to your room to play." Shujia is only six years old this year, but she already knows the etiquette very well. After listening to her mother''s words, she obediently takes Shen Xi out.


    Seeing their backs, she said with a leisurely smile, "the princess has been very elegant since she was young."


    Shen Tian is not happy. "This child is precocious. He is full of worries at such a big age. I''d rather she was a little bit muddled and a little bit lively. Last time I met Kang Ge''er of your family at my mother''s place, how nice the child is. He knows how to advance and retreat, but also has some childlike innocence. Unlike my twins, I think too much all day long. "


    Leisurely back to the way "I heard that Shizi and the princess have great prestige among the brothers and sisters in the palace, which means that they have outstanding talents. If they are really ignorant, how can they subdue the brothers and sisters in the palace?"


    Shen Tian didn''t know this truth, but his own children hurt themselves. Others will only praise their eldest son and eldest daughter for their cleverness and intelligence, but who has seen the efforts of the brother and sister behind them? How old is the eldest son? I have started reading four books. The eldest daughter, even if she had never asked for it, had already begun to learn how to do needlework. She said that when her father was born this year, she would make a birthday gift by herself.


    Sometimes, seeing the two children working hard, I wanted to stop them, but I didn''t stop them after all. If you can''t stand the pain, how can you talk about the future?


    With a slight sigh, Shen Tian said with a smile, "just don''t talk about these bad things. I heard that some days ago, you accompanied the girl Le''an to Huangxing temple? "


    Leisurely smile answer "yes, Niang Niang news pour well-informed."


    Shen Tian is noncommittal. "It''s just a big thing. I always want to know. I''ve also heard that Le''an has met a soft nail in Jinghua? "


    Leisurely back to the way, "according to the princess, when she tried to test the Jinghua County Leader before, the Jinghua County leader was still quite warm, but this time suddenly changed the tone, let the princess some lost. It was not only the princess, but also the Duke of Li''s wife. Looking at her appearance, she seemed to be disappointed. I don''t know what kind of young talent Jinghua County is looking for for for her daughter? The powerful commander of the Imperial Army and the noble son of the government could not be unified into her eyes. "


    Shen Tian sneered, "hum, the Lord of Jinghua County has a big heart!" Then he said in a low voice, "I know by chance that the wife of the second room of the Zhong family is from the Qin family. Today''s chief physician of Tai hospital, that is, the emperor''s imperial physician, is Mrs. Zhong''s brother. "


    Smell speech, leisurely and fast in the heart of care up, and then exclaimed, "is the body of the holy can not support for long?"? The Zhong family, what the Zhong family is interested in is the position of the new emperor''s harem? "


    Shen Tian praised with a smile, "I knew it. You must be able to figure it out." Then he looked at the sky outside and said, "my father''s body will support for another year or so at most. Now, Feng Fei''s mother and son are rising suddenly. Beloved concubines and young children are always men''s favorite, so next, we have a tough fight to fight. "


    Along Shen Tian''s line of sight, leisurely also looked out at the blue sky and white clouds, the sky is clear blue, the white clouds lie lazily in the air. It looks so quiet and beautiful! Leisurely gently blinked his eyes, heart silent way, maybe this is the calm before the storm.


    After going back in the evening, Shen Ze asked her, "has the empress told you about the emperor?"


    Leisurely nodded. Although she knew that this day would come sooner or later, she could not help shivering at this moment. This time, I''m afraid it''s going to be serious, isn''t it? It''s always been a bloodbath? If they win, their family will go a step further! If she loses by accident, she doesn''t dare to think about the consequences.


    Next, Shen Ze came home more and more late at night. He was not the only one. She was surprised to find that even her brother had been involved in it for a long time. It was too late for her to stop this time. She could only pray that everything would go well in her heart.


    Although there are a lot of activities in the dark, they still have to pretend to be the same as before. What should be done is what should be done. Even things on the other side of the new house are still under intense preparation.


    Leisurely pondered in his heart for several days. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that as long as the head of emperor Longde didn''t enter the water, the chance of King Liang''s victory was still great. But she had a lot of uncertainty in her heart, so she kept some things in a small house when she took advantage of the ceremony before the festival. He also gave gifts to the maids who had already gone out, such as Yutan and LiuYe. He only hoped that if there was something wrong with his family, they could help.


    Soon, on the day of Mid Autumn Festival, leisurely ordered his servants to prepare a big dinner at home. Because of the festival, in addition to some moon cakes, snacks and so on, they also specially made new clothes for all the servants in the family, and each of them also paid half a month more. Therefore, the whole family is jubilant, and no one can see anything wrong.


    Only leisurely knows how anxious he is. This time, Shen Ze finally comes back before dark. Shen Xi is talking in leisurely room. When he meets his elder brother, he laughs and jokes, "it''s mid autumn, and my elder brother won''t come back early!"


    Shen Ze nodded at her forehead and said with a smile, "you girl, you''ve got your brother. Originally, I brought you a gift. Now... "


    Smell speech, Shen Xi cold hum a "an idea small favor of don''t want to send me, must be good thing just go."


    Shen Ze opened a brocade box with a smile, put the box on the round table and said, "come and have a look. Is this a good thing?" Shen Xi hears speech, walked past, see a white jade hairpin that jade rabbit pound medicine in the box. The hairpin and the jade rabbit are both carved with good Hetian white jade. Only a pair of ruby with the size of a grain of rice is embedded in the eyes of the jade rabbit, which makes it more delicate and flexible.


    Shen Xi picked up the hairpin and couldn''t put it down. After a while, he remembered his sister-in-law and said, "did my brother only bring me a gift? What about my sister-in-law? "


    Shen Ze said with a smile, "finally, your sister-in-law didn''t hurt you in vain. Your sister-in-law''s is here." Then he took out a big box from his arms, opened it, handed it to leisurely and said, "have a look, do you like it?"


    Inside is a pair of Jasper bamboo plum hairpins. The jade is delicate and moist, and the carving is excellent, which is leisurely like style.


    Shen Ze stands up, goes to leisurely and helps her put the hairpin in her hair. Gan song quickly took the small mirror and looked at herself in the mirror. It happened that she only wore a jade peacock hairpin today, which matched the hairpin. Through the mirror, she saw Shen Ze smiling at herself. No matter what happens in the future, if you come here and meet this person, your life will be complete.


    In the evening, the whole family had a lively dinner. Just the next day, the news from the palace was not so pleasant. The emperor praised the sixth prince at the palace banquet yesterday and personally made him king of Yue.


    In this way, the king of Yue is the only one who has the hope to compete with the king of Liang. For a moment, the situation in the DPRK became more and more mysterious.

 Chapter 376

    No matter how happy the king of Yue was, leisurely, as a member of Princess Liang''s family, was as quiet and steady as usual, even more low-key than before. Shen Tian also asked people to spread a message, so that his mother''s family must be more peaceful at this time. Loyalist side also stepped up to restrain their own family members, not allowing them to cause any trouble at this time.


    Even on August 29, Han''s birthday was not much worse this year, but the family had a meal together, and all the gifts were confiscated. When asked by someone familiar with him, Han only said, "the old lady at home is getting worse. She really doesn''t feel like celebrating her birthday."


    This is the excuse for the wise man. Who doesn''t know that Mrs. Bai has been lying in bed for several years? However, since Zhongguo government can keep a low profile, we have to laugh it off. There is a family that is in a more difficult situation, and we are glad to save a gift of silver.


    Han also donated 1000 liang of silver to the charity hall in Jingzhong, saying only that it was to accumulate happiness for the old lady in the family. Shen Tian also added 1000 liang of silver later, making a good reputation.


    In September, the leisurely family began to move, because most of the things had been settled in advance, so on the sixth day of junior high school, the family arrived at the new house with only pots and bowls and some of the delicacies, even after the move.


    Since Han''s birthday is not even before, there is no housewarming banquet at leisurely''s home. Shen Ze told leisurely, "if someone asks, you can say that the house will be in a mess. If you don''t clean it up, we will have a banquet together in the first month."


    This kind of thing is also normal. Many people don''t set up a banquet after moving, so it doesn''t seem particularly abrupt.


    After they moved here, Fang Xinsu came again. In addition to some valuable ornaments, there were two paintings she had painted herself. Now Fang Xinsu''s paintings are also very famous in the capital. Her paintings are excellent, but she refuses to hurt herself for a few liang of silver. It''s even more difficult for idle people to ask for one.


    Leisurely open look, praise way "you this painting art is more and more advanced." Then one of them, butterfly playing orchid grass, was put up in his study.


    Fang Xinsu visited more than half of the courtyard and said with a smile, "your courtyard has to be elegant. I don''t think it''s worse than the courtyard of some scholarly families."


    Leisurely and modest, he said with a smile, "some of their courtyards have been handed down for one or two hundred years. How dare our family compare with them? It''s just that no one constrains me. Let me do it my own way. It''s just a courtyard with five entrances. The house hasn''t been overhauled. Guess how much money it cost to clean it up? "


    Fang Xinsu chuckled and shook his head. "It''s really hard to figure out, but you can see that the color of the head here is exquisite. There are a lot of designated flowers. It''s twenty thousand taels of silver, isn''t it?"


    Leisurely smile out five fingers, "almost spent this number."


    Even Fang Xinsu, who has always been lax, was surprised, "so much? It''s only twenty or thirty thousand yuan in cash, isn''t it? Fortunately, you don''t have a mother-in-law, or you won''t die of heartache? " Then he joked with a smile, "if you are such a loser, what did commander Shen say?"


    Leisurely said with a smile, "he doesn''t care much about these things. Besides, the money is not spent all at once. After two or three years of cleaning up, it''s not too extravagant to spend more than 10000 yuan a year. What''s more, a little half of it is my own private money. I think that the house is ready to live until it''s old. I''ll just do it once and save some trouble in the future. "


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "anyway, you always have your own reasons."


    Two people are talking, the outside servant girl newspaper reason country public madam came, is outside get off. Leisurely and Fang Xinsu looked at each other and said with a smile, "although it''s an uninvited guest, it''s not easy to turn them away now that they''re here. I''ll welcome them. You go to the flower hall to have tea first." When he arrived at the chuihuamen, Cheng just got off the sedan chair. He stepped forward two steps and said with a smile, "I didn''t expect that my wife would come today. I''m sorry to meet you from afar."


    Cheng replied with a smile, "I''d like to take the liberty to visit. Mrs. Shen doesn''t think I''m rude." Leisurely busy reply way "Madam joked, you come, make our home exuberant, joy is too late! Inside, please


    With that, they walked in with each other. As he walked along, Cheng couldn''t stop praising him and asked, "I don''t know who the master of painting garden is? This drawing is very nice. It''s generous and unique. In a word, it''s indescribable and beautiful. "


    Listen to this words, leisurely a few servant girls on the side all laughed. Cheng was puzzled and said with a leisurely smile, "madam, I''m really flattered. However, such a small house is not worth inviting outsiders to draw drawings. It''s just that I drew it myself. "


    Cheng said with a surprised smile, "I didn''t expect Mrs. Shen to have such talent when she was young. It''s really rare!"


    Leisurely back to the way "not to mention what talent is not talent, just their own yard, or their own comfortable living is the most important.". If someone else did the painting, I don''t know who would like it? "


    Cheng nodded and said, "it''s hard to understand that you are young." In my heart, I value leisurely more. Many people have been confused all their lives. This lady Shen has a rare understanding.


    While they were talking, they had already arrived at the flower hall. Cheng did not expect that Fang Xinsu was also here. He said with a smile, "I don''t know that the princess is also here. It''s not a coincidence that I came here." It is said that the princess of Rongjun and Mrs. Shen have a good personal relationship. It seems that they are true at all.


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "it''s no coincidence. I''m just idle at home. I''ll come and have a look at her new house. But madam, why do you come here when you have time? Would you like another housewarming gift? "


    The jade bonsai sent back by Cheng''s family was placed on the Bogu shelf in the flower hall. Fang Xinsu took a look at it as he spoke. Cheng followed his eyes, laughed in a low voice, and then said, "I just came out of the Palace this time. When I came to the neighborhood, I wanted to see commander Shen''s new house. I came here empty handed." Then, looking at leisurely, "Mrs. Shen won''t blow me out, will she?"


    Leisurely cover mouth a smile "the madam said and laughed, don''t say empty hand, is the madam walk of time again turn some things, as long as you are willing to come is to appreciate."


    The people who said this all laughed, and Cheng said with a smile, "I haven''t had much contact with her before, but I didn''t know that Mrs. Shen is such a joker."


    Fang Xinsu looked at leisurely and said, "don''t look at her gentle and virtuous appearance. In fact, she is in a hurry."


    The three talked and laughed for a while. Cheng suddenly patted the back of his head and said with a smile, "look at my brain. I just wanted to talk about it when I saw my mother, but I forgot it. Today, I went to the palace to greet the empress. During the chat, I mentioned that the princess had come. She said that you haven''t been to the palace for some days. I miss you


    Fang Xinsu said, "yes, I haven''t been to the palace since the Mid Autumn Festival. I thought, the palace has just added a prince, and is the third and full moon, the queen does not know how busy, I had better not go to add chaos. Plus, it''s going to be the double ninth festival soon. When it''s time, we''ll go and say hello to the empress, which will save us a lot of time. "


    Cheng sighed, "since then, everyone has been icing on the cake. Since she gave birth to the eleventh prince, Princess Feng has really been in the limelight. When I went to the kilometer, I saw that many women went to give greetings and gifts to Princess Feng, but the empress seemed a little lonely. "


    Hearing this, Fang Xinsu said, "in this case, I''ll go to the Palace tomorrow to greet my mother."


    Cheng said with a smile, "the empress is glad to see you." Then he casually said, "well, when I went to the Queen''s palace to greet her, I happened to meet the Lord of Jinghua County who came out from the Queen''s palace with her daughter. Listen to the little eunuch say, their mother and daughter also want to go to Feng Fei Niang to please. Smell speech, leisurely and Fang Xinsu look at each other, the latter sneer and say, "it seems that the body of the big girl of the Zhong family is very agile, after all, from Dakang gate to Fengning palace and then to Chongjin palace, but it will take more than half an hour."


    Leisurely advised, "it''s just an irrelevant person. Do you have leisure? Come on, try some of my cook''s new desserts. "


    Several people said a few words of gossip. Seeing that it was getting late, leisurely was about to call for a meal. Cheng stood up and said, "Mrs. Shen, don''t be busy. I''ll leave now."


    Leisurely busy way "it''s almost noon, why don''t you have lunch here and then go?"


    Cheng said with a smile, "madam, I appreciate your kindness, but there are still things to do at home. I used to pass by here and drop in to see your new house. Now I''m satisfied with it. I''ll bother you again some other day. "


    Leisurely can not stay, had to let her go.


    After Cheng left, Fang Xinsu patted the table and said angrily, "this Jinghua is really big hearted!"

 Chapter 377

    Although Mrs. Li didn''t say it clearly, both leisurely and Fang Xinsu knew that she had come here to tell more than what she had seen in the palace. It seems that the mind and behavior of Jinghua''s mother and daughter are already very obvious, and the Duke of Li feels a little angry. After all, at the beginning, she was also optimistic about the big girl of the Zhong family.


    Leisurely see Fang Xinsu gas of ruthless, busy personally took the cup to her hand, advise a way "you this is why?"? It''s not a big thing to hurt yourself with anger. Since the Lord of Jinghua County and the Zhong family are in a hurry to climb high branches, let them climb. Let''s find another one for brother Jane. "


    When Fang Xinsu was seldom so angry, he drank two mouthfuls of hot tea and felt his depression dissipated. He said in a deep voice, "I am Qi Jinghua. It''s not really true. Everyone has their own aspirations. Since their family has their own aspirations, we can''t stop them. But since I want to fight for wealth with my daughter, I don''t want to pretend that I''m looking at my daughter. Who do you want? It''s not nice to say that. I really want to be a whore and set up a memorial archway! "


    Leisurely again advised, "don''t you understand? different people have different aspirations! Now, you should be glad for brother Jane. Whether it''s the Zhong family or the head of Jinghua County, it''s not good for Miss Zhong to have such greedy parents in the future. "


    Fang Xinsu of this meeting already felt that she was a lot better. Now she sneered and said, "just look at Zhang Jin, who was acting in Jinghua County of Huangxing temple that day, you can see how domineering she was in private! With such a mother, a daughter may not be good at it. Even if Miss Zhong is a good girl, it''s not good to have such a mother-in-law with our Fang family. "


    Then she bent her eyebrows and said, "besides, with the power of Princess Feng now, it''s not sure that she can meet the uncle who doesn''t have real power."


    In fact, as Fang Xinsu had expected, Princess Feng was lukewarm from beginning to end in the face of Jinghua County Master who was eager to sell her daughter. Just when talking about the children, it seems that he inadvertently said, "I don''t care about the basic family status of Xiao Liu''s daughter-in-law. No matter how high the family status is, can it be higher than the royal family? It''s just that the master of Huangxing temple said that this child''s life is suitable for late marriage, and he is only 16 years old this year. I can finally worry about it in a few years. "


    In a few words, Jinghua County owner''s heart was blocked in his stomach. But Jinghua had to mix for a while and found a way to take her daughter away.


    After they went out, one of the maids beside Feng Fei said, "our sixth Prince is a man of great fortune! The Lord of Jinghua County really thinks highly of himself! Her daughter is only the granddaughter of my uncle. She is still in a position of no avail. She just wants to be worthy of our sixth prince. What a dream


    Feng Fei didn''t really stop her and said, "well, at least after the imperial clan, we have to give them some dignity. Moreover, in the future, don''t say anything about fate. I just hope that their brothers will be safe and sound, and nothing will go wrong. " Having said that, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of desire and calculation for power.


    Out of the gate of Chongjin palace, Jinghua took a long breath and didn''t cry. She had planned for such a few days. Originally, she thought that with her family background, status and daughter''s qualifications, there was no reason why Princess Feng should not. Unexpectedly, Princess Feng was merciless. She used to prevaricate other people''s excuses, but now she is used in her daughter''s body. Jinghua only feels that her body and mind have been greatly humiliated.


    Instead, Miss Zhong, who has been staying at one side, has been quiet without any emotional ups and downs. This will see the mother look bad, quickly came forward to mix a "mother this morning to walk so many road, must be tired, daughter support mother!" Then she said in a low voice with a smile, "my daughter knows that my mother doesn''t feel angry for her daughter, but this is in the palace after all. I don''t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us, so my mother has to stay tight."


    Anyway, she has been living in the clan circle for most of her life. After listening to her daughter''s words, Jinghua soon regained her mental state and said with a smile, "what you said is quite right. My mother is not as calm as you."


    In other people''s eyes, it''s just a few intimate words between mother and daughter. When the mother and daughter went to the Palace Road near Dakang gate, they happened to meet Liang Wang, who went into the palace to greet the queen. The palace road was narrow. When they met him, the mother and daughter had to give a gift to the king of Liang. Without waiting for Jinghua to bow down, the king of Liang quickly gave him a hand and said with a smile, "the Lord of Jinghua County is an elder. There is no need to be so polite!"


    Jinghua said with a smile, "Your Highness is so polite. Where are you going?" The king of Liang replied, "I''m going to greet my mother."


    Before waiting for Jinghua to reply, Miss Zhong rushed back and said, "just now when I went to ask the empress to settle down, the empress mentioned her highness. The empress praised his Highness for his filial piety. She is the most filial of all the princes. "


    Liang Wang didn''t notice Miss Zhong just now. This time he heard the voice, so he put his eyes on her. The girl in the age of Jasper has a kind of youth that can''t be concealed. In addition, Miss Zhong''s appearance is not vulgar, so she went to the palace today to dress up deliberately. Even the king of Liang, who is used to seeing beautiful women, is still in a daze. Fang smiles and replies, "is this miss Zhong? I just do what I want. I can''t afford to be praised by my mother. But miss Zhong is not afraid of hard work on such a hot day. It''s really filial piety to serve the county leader in the palace! "


    Then the king of Liang said to the Lord of Jinghua County with a smile, "it''s a blessing that the Lord of Jinghua County has such a filial daughter. If I want to go and greet my mother, I won''t gossip with you. " With that, he nodded and left with his servants.


    As soon as the king of Liang walked far away, Jinghua frowned and asked, "why did you make a sudden noise to talk to his highness just now?"


    Miss Zhong said with a smile, "I know what father and mother mean, but does mother really think that concubine Feng can put the king of Yue on the throne just by giving birth to two princes?"


    What do you mean by that


    Miss Zhong looked at her mother with a smile and said, "it''s meaningless. People can''t hang on a tree. Compared with the king of Yue, her daughter thinks that her royal highness is more likely to be the king of Liang. "


    It is not only the mother and daughter of the Zhong family who are talking about the two princes, but also everyone in and out of the court is paying attention to it. With the gradual expansion of the reputation of Feng Fei''s mother and son, everyone was secretly guessing when the king of Liang would take charge of the king of Yue.


    But what people didn''t expect was that the king of Liang was still all the time, but the king of Yue was the first to attack his brother!

 Chapter 378

    There is not much to blame for the king of Liang himself. What''s more, he has the merit of saving himself. As long as he is not rebellious, Emperor Lunde will not be too harsh on him.


    At this time, one of his subordinates mentioned the war of Jinsha kingdom. Although the original affairs were secret, some rumors came out. But those who don''t know outside don''t know that all the treasures of Jinsha state belong to the private treasury of emperor Lund. Anyone who hears this will think that Shen Mingchang has made a lot of personal gains from it. After discussing with their supporters, the mother and son of the king of Yue were ready to take the loyal Duke Shen Mingchang first.


    Shen Mingchang is not only the father-in-law of the king of Liang, but also a general with outstanding military achievements. Although he has no real power, he has a great weight in the army and the court. The king of Yue firmly believed that as long as he took down Shen Mingchang, the king of Liang''s family would definitely lose their vitality.


    So at the great court meeting on this day, the imperial censor said that Shen Mingchang, the loyal Duke, secretly coveted a large number of treasures in the state treasury of Jinsha in the first stop of Jinsha state, and privately stored the imperial jade seal of Jinsha state. His heart should be punished!


    After listening to the memorial, lundeti narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Oh, what happened? Take up the memorial and I''ll have a look. "


    Hearing the words, the little censor quickly handed the prepared memorial to the little eunuch, and then handed it to the emperor layer by layer.


    Seeing this scene, the king of Liang was not at ease. After all, when Shen Mingchang won the imperial court, there was a lot of talk about the treasure of Jinsha kingdom. It''s just that Shen Mingchang''s momentum was getting better at the beginning, and Emperor Longde turned a deaf ear to it all the time, and then it gradually faded down.


    But when he thought of the rich dowry of his princess, he was worried about his father-in-law. At the same time, his heart is also quite angry, these days, no matter how old six that boy jump up and down, he has been motionless. First, I don''t want to fight for a moment. Second, I want to show my tolerance to my younger brothers. Did not expect that this old six actually took his forbearance as a retreat, and now he came to the door with a big grin? Don''t think he didn''t know that this humble little censor married the daughter of a side branch of the Feng family in Ding''an.


    Hum, can''t this old six treat him as a soft persimmon? It''s too much deceiving!


    The princes and ministers who were standing in the Jinluan hall did not want to watch a fight for the right. Everyone''s eyes couldn''t help sweeping over Liang Wang and Shen Mingchang. But these two people are always deep, how can people easily see the clue? It''s just that the king of Liang is not happy. It''s Shen Mingchang who looks like an old God. It''s a bit confusing.


    The sixth prince, standing beside the king of Liang, quietly raised his head and looked at his father on the throne. He saw that emperor Longde was looking at him with a fold. His face was uncertain. It was a sign of anger. Looking at the way the king of Liang was as deep as water, the king of Yue was more convinced that there was a ghost in his heart. On the other side, Shen Mingchang''s indifference was seen by him as pretending to be calm. The king of Yue prayed in his heart. Later, his father''s anger would better be a little bigger and he would just kill Shen Mingchang.


    After reading the fold, lundeti patted the polished smooth armrest and asked in a deep voice, "who wrote the fold?"


    Just now, the little censor who handed over the fold immediately stood out from the crowd, knelt down and said, "the words of returning to the emperor were written by Bao Hui himself."


    Long de Di repeated "Bao Hui?" His eyes swept the censor''s body, and then asked, "what grade is it now?"


    After hearing this, Bao Hui was overjoyed. Did the emperor want to give me a promotion? At present, holding his breath, he said, "Weichen is the experience of the inspector general''s court and the experience of the sixth grade."


    "Experience? "Six grades?" Lundeti suddenly threw the fold in his hand to the ground and said in a deep voice, "I remember that the people in the Department of experience are not responsible for impeaching officials, right? Even if you are aware of something wrong with zhongguogong, you should first report it to your superior. Who gave you the courage to impeach the Duke of the state above the court? Well At this time, the censor of the left side of the inspector''s court stood up and said in fear, "I have no way to defend you. Please punish me."


    Long de Di snorted coldly, "it''s really time for you to discipline these subordinates well. In this way, all the hearsay and nonsense can be delivered to me, and your inspector''s house will soon become a sieve!" Then he got up and left.


    The king of Liang sighed in secret, but did not look at the king of Yue. He went straight to the front of the censor Zuo Du and said, "it''s not that the king is partial to his father-in-law and does not talk about the achievements of the ancestors of Zhongguo government. He should not be unjustified just because he has made great achievements for Dakang. It''s disgusting that some treacherous officials and villains so innocently slander Da Kang''s meritorious officials. If such people continue to stay in the court as officials, not to mention others, even adults, you have to be more careful. It can''t be said that they will impeach you as an officer one day! "


    The king of Yue didn''t expect that everything he had carefully arranged was resolved by his father''s three or two sentences, and he was very depressed. This meeting son hears Liang Wang''s Pai, in the end is a little more youthful, immediately can''t help but say: "five emperor elder brother, what does this mean? Although zhongguogong is the father-in-law of wuhuangxiong, he can''t be so biased. Now the fact has not been found out. Why is the fifth brother eager to convict the censor Bao? What''s more, it''s about brother Wu''s father-in-law. Shouldn''t brother Wu avoid suspicion? "


    Liang Wang sneered, "what''s the truth? Didn''t my father make it very clear just now? What did Bao Hui say was nonsense? Isn''t my sixth brother hard to use? "


    For a moment, the king of Yue had nothing to say when he was refuted, but the king of Liang didn''t let him off at all. He then said, "I didn''t know that Liu Di''s eloquence was so quick before, and every word of it was trying to convict me and zhongguogong. It''s just that you still need to be hard on yourself to strike iron. Six younger brothers just criticize others. Why don''t you reflect on yourself? As far as I know, the daughter Bao Hui married is the daughter of the Feng family. It''s your cousin. Why don''t you remember that you have to avoid suspicion? "


    Then, without waiting for the reaction of the king of Yue, he turned to the censor Zuo Du and said, "this matter is for the public and for the private, and I will not ignore it. I hope the inspector can give me a satisfactory reply!"


    With that, he looked at Bao Hui shrunk into a ball with disdain and turned away with a sneer.


    Immediately after that, the officials of Liang Wang''s department gathered around Shen Mingchang to comfort him. Shen Mingchang didn''t care at all. He laughed and said, "Shen firmly believes that since the Qing Dynasty, Shen has been used to it for so many years, but he didn''t feel any accident. But thank you for your concern. " While talking, he went out with the crowd.


    In the end, only a few officials standing on the dry bank looked at each other. Is it clear that there will be a big fight? How did it turn into a farce?


    Not to mention how depressed and upset the king of Yue was, even after hearing about it leisurely, there was some loss that could not be explained clearly. It seemed that the scene was much more insipid than she had imagined, and it ended like this before she made any trouble?

 Chapter 379

    It is reasonable to say that the king of Yue has already cheated him. It is only a matter of minutes for the king of Liang to deal with the king of Yue. However, apart from the fact that Bao Hui, who impeached Shen Mingchang, was dismissed from office, the king of Liang had no other superfluous actions, which made others unable to understand.


    This day, leisurely and Fang Xinsu talked about it when they were drinking tea together. Fang Xinsu also helped Shen Mingchang fight against injustice. She frowned and said, "I don''t know what my cousin thinks. People call me. He''s just being humble and retreating. Where is he going to retreat? Never seen him so timid before? Is it difficult for my uncle to be wronged so much? "


    Leisurely said, "don''t worry, princess. The king must have his own reason for doing so. Isn''t the censor who has been taken care of? It''s a relief for my uncle. As for the others, I think the Lord wants to draw them slowly! "


    Fang Xinsu nibbled his lower lip and said, "when is this? Do you want to draw it slowly? I have seen the emperor twice in the empress''s palace these times. It''s not good to see him. There are even rumors in Beijing that "yes, yes..." in the end, they choked. No matter what, that person is her biological father, and she knows in her heart that she can live so wantonly these years, and it has something to do with this person''s secret protection. How could she not be sad to see this man''s time coming?


    Leisurely only thought that she was worried for the government and Shen Tian, and quickly comforted him, "you don''t have to worry too much. Niang Niang is always wise. If there is something wrong with his royal highness, how can she not persuade her? Now that she has no words, she must support her highness. If you think about it, the emperor is still the master of the world. Do you think he would like to see his sons fighting for the throne at this time? "


    Fang Xinsu was also a wise man, but his eyes were covered by a lot of fog. For a moment, he didn''t see through. After listening to leisurely''s words, he suddenly realized that "it''s my magic barrier. At this time, no fight is fight. Must be the king of Yue at this time of contention is just the cousin''s heart? There is an emperor jumping up and down busy to grab the throne, which makes his royal highness Liang more filial and considerate. My cousin is as deep as ever. "


    If you want to sit in that seat, you can''t go deep! Leisurely sighed in his heart that the Shen family and King Liang''s house were still grasshoppers on the same rope, and their strength was in the same place. It''s just that after the man really ascends the throne, the situation doesn''t know which direction it will go.


    Since ancient times, it seems that not many queens and their mothers have been able to die well!


    Thinking of Shen Tian''s decisive action, she prays leisurely in her heart, hoping that she can keep this purity after she becomes the mother of the nation!


    He lowered his eyelids leisurely and added tea to Fang Xinsu with a pot in his hand. "You''ve been in the palace almost every day these days to accompany the empress. You must be a little tired. Look at you, your cheeks are much thinner. Just this morning, I asked them to pick up an old duck and stew the Huaishan old duck. You can drink two more bowls to make up for it


    Fang Xinsu replied with a smile, "then I have a good mouth."


    Just then, the servant girl came back and said that Mrs. Anbo would like to see her. They looked at each other, and Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "this Ding Anbo couple is treacherous."


    Leisurely angry at her, "when did you talk about right and wrong behind your back?" Then he said, "please bring in Mrs. Bo quickly."


    Fang Xinsu sighed, "I don''t want to see outsiders. Please find a room for me to stay for a while." Leisurely but helpless smile "well, as you like, you stay here well, my room never entertains visitors, I go to the flower hall to see her." The place where they stayed was leisurely study. In addition to Fang Xinsu, there was really no guest in this room.


    The other party is Mrs. Bo. It''s not easy to take care of her. She gets up and goes out of the yard in person. After a while, she sees the maid leading Mrs. Feng. She steps forward and says with a smile, "I didn''t expect my wife to come, but I''m afraid I''m missing you."


    Mrs. Feng said with a smile, "I''m here suddenly. Mrs. Shen doesn''t blame me for coming so presumptuously." They went into the room and sat down. After a little greeting, Mrs. Feng said with a smile, "Mrs. Shen is always cheerful, so I won''t go around the bush. This time I come here, I want to ask my wife for help."


    Leisurely heart under micro motion, said with a smile, "madam, but if you have any assignment, just say it, I can do my best."


    Mrs. Feng sighed, "some unpleasant things happened in the court a few days ago. Bao Hui didn''t know how to do anything wrong to Shen Guogong. It''s really his fault. Although Bao Hui married the daughter of a side branch of the Feng family, we don''t know what he did this time. If we knew that he would frame Zhongliang like this, our uncle would never forgive him lightly. "


    Leisurely light smile way "the family is big, the heart is not even also some."


    Mrs. Feng quickly echoed, "isn''t that right? The outsider looked at our master inheriting the title of uncle''s mansion. He didn''t know how envious he was. But only the two of us know how nervous our master is. Especially since the second room out of a lady, look outside is flowers with brocade a prosperous, just a little careless is cooking oil! Our uncle has always been trying to restrain the children of the clan. He does not dare to let the clan do something to bully others. However, there are always times when he fails to take care of it. Especially after the separation of the family, er Fang, with the help of empress Feng and the sixth prince, enlisted some of the people in the family to serve them. Although we tried to dissuade them, we really couldn''t catch them. I hope Mrs. Shen can tell us something about it in front of Princess Liang. We don''t have the same nostrils in Ding''an Bofu and ER Fang. "


    Smell speech, leisurely light smile way "this words madam should personally go to the palace to tell the princess empress is, from me to say, don''t appear a little less pious?"


    Mrs. Feng said hastily, "I know that, but in recent days, I have already sent several posts to Prince Liang''s mansion. They all say that the princess is very busy and has no time to see outsiders. I think it''s not easy to delay for a long time, so I want to come and ask Mrs. Shen. "


    Leisurely thought about it in his heart, and felt that it was just a matter of passing two sentences. As for Shen Tian''s meaning, he could not control it. So he said with a smile, "in this case, the next time I go to the palace to say hello, I will tell my wife''s meaning to her, but I can''t guess how she will reply."


    Mrs. Feng was very happy to hear that leisurely was willing to deliver a message for her. She read a few words of Buddha in her mouth and said with a smile, "it''s the end of her benevolence that Mrs. leisurely is willing to deliver a message, and the rest depends on the will of heaven." Seeing that the goal was achieved, she said a few words again. Mrs. Feng declined to stay leisurely, leaving behind some precious gifts and left in a hurry.

 Chapter 380

    Leisurely personally sent the person to the second door and watched her get on the sedan chair before returning to the study.


    Fang Xinsu was reading a travel book on the bookshelf. When she came in, she asked, "are you gone? But I asked you to make peace with my cousin? "


    Leisurely looking at her, she said with a smile, "you are so smart, naturally you can make a guess." At this time, Gan song came in and asked, "grandma, what should I do with the things that Mrs. Feng sent?"


    A little thought, leisurely way "first clean up, alone on the side, after two days."


    Fang Xinsu looked up at her and said, "if you don''t look at it, I guess it will not be light this time."


    Leisurely did not care about the way back, "light and heavy, is not that what? It''s nothing special. "


    Smell speech, Fang Xinsu ha ha a smile "Our Lady Shen is really rich now, the tone of saying this can be really domineering!"


    Seeing that it was getting late, leisurely was about to let people set up a meal. Then she heard the servant girl come in and say, "Granny Zheng is coming." Leisurely busy command servant girl invite a person to come in.


    Fang Xinsu sighed, "it''s not the right time for me to come here today. You are so busy. There are so many people in my family!"


    Leisurely said with a smile, "isn''t it just a new family move


    While speaking, they had already moved to the flower hall. As soon as they sat down, Yutan came in with a servant girl, and behind her two strong women carried a big box.


    Jade Tan see Fang Xinsu, some embarrassed please way "met the princess, did not expect the princess is also here, is I come by accident."


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "what''s wrong with this?" Then he took a look at the box and said, "I know. You must have got something rare. You just want to honor the old lord. You don''t have my share, do you?"


    Yutan said, "how can you forget your mother? It''s just that I came to grandma first. It''s a little disrespectful after all. " According to reason, Fang Xinsu is now the master mother of yutanfu''s family, and her grade is high. When Yutan gets something, she should send it to her first.


    Fang Xinsu didn''t care much and said with a smile, "I don''t know the friendship between your master and servant? What''s the point? Come on, open up what you''ve brought. I''d like to see what''s good for you to come over in such a hurry. "


    Yu Tan asked her mother-in-law to open the box. As she went to pick up a box, she said, "it''s not a good thing either. My uncle heard that grandma''s family had just moved to a new house. This time, he asked someone to send a pair of ornaments of Jinzhou agate carving. There is also a box of red ginseng and a pair of wild ginseng, the rest is some fur and other things


    Fang Xinsu had already seen the pair of ginseng that leisurely held in her hand. She only glanced at it and said, "it''s been thirty or forty years since we''ve seen them. They''re very rare. Even in our palace, there aren''t many of them of this quality. If it''s not a good thing, I don''t know what a good thing is. "


    Leisurely closed the brocade box and said to Yu Tan angrily, "I''m not an outsider here. This kind of life-saving good thing should be well kept in case."


    Yutan said with a smile, "it''s nothing. There''s something else at home. My uncle said, "although it''s a little bit bitter outside the pass, there''s no shortage of these things." Then he thought of something and said, "grandma said last time that she wanted some good leather materials? This time, I just got a few pieces. They came from the northwest. Among them, there were two pieces of white fox skin without a trace of miscellaneous hair, which was very rare. In addition, there are some Silver Fox Skins and some good lynx skins, which are very good for making big fur clothes. "


    This made leisurely a little surprised. She was a little surprised and asked, "don''t you only sell leather in the Northeast? How did you get into the northwest this time? " Yutan said with a smile, "this time, it''s still the Han''s aunt who helped to pull the thread. Isn''t there a watch girl from the northwest in Yongchang mansion? When she asked the servants to go there to deliver the festival gifts, she just brought back some leather materials, which was not enough for her. Aunt Han''s grandmother took the thread. I saw that the material was good and the hand was generous, so I ate it. Choose the best for the princess and grandma, and then sell the rest in the shop. "


    Leisurely light smile way "this time just, next time can''t again so extravagant.". You''re open to business. If you''ve delivered all the goods, what are you selling? "


    Hearing this, jade Tan also just a light smile, didn''t make a sound. In fact, the leisurely home is still small, and the things sent to the rongwangfu are big. Every time except Zheng Quan who sent it to Qi Heng alone, she had to clean up a neat gift and send it to the palace. From fangxinsu, the master mother, to the top and bottom of the big and small steward. Every year, the gift given to the palace is no less than a thousand taels of silver. How much does her shop earn a year?


    But this gift is not free, at least, with the backing of the rongwangfu, ordinary officials never dare to come to the door. In addition to these furs, every time she brought something to Zheng Quan, she would bring him a few boxes of fashionable and exquisite things from the capital. According to Zheng Quan''s letter, jewelry, Tuan fan, Sachet, purse, tea and so on from Jiangnan can be sold at a sky high price in the remote Guangning County.


    Yutan doesn''t know how much money she can earn, but over the past few years, Zheng Quan only asked her for two thousand taels of silver at the beginning, and then didn''t ask for a cent. But every year, she still sent the leather needed by her shop on time. Although most of them are ordinary goods, the cost will be three or four thousand Liang. In addition to these, over the past few years, Zheng Quan has sent back about 56000 taels of banknotes.


    Because of these, although Yutan knew that he had accepted a small one there, he just pretended not to know. So far away, and so many years no see, she just want to control, but also beyond reach! If you have that heart, it''s better to earn more money around you. There are many places for your two sons to spend money when they study and marry!


    Fang Xinsu has heard of Zheng Quan''s style. Therefore, for Yu Tan, she always had some sympathy, and often asked the people under her to take more care of her.


    Leisurely doesn''t know about Zheng Quan. Yutan also reports good news but not bad. She only says that although Zheng Quan is far away now, she is good to her. Leisurely see her face now ruddy, a pair of excellent appearance, also believe.


    In addition to the duck pot stewed in the morning, leisurely let people clear up a big table for lunch. At noon, the three people talk and laugh together, so busy!


    They are eating and joking here. In Chongjin palace, his Royal Highness the king of Yue can''t help falling all over the ground.


    The goods he sent to the north market were robbed on the way back to Beijing! How could he not be so angry!

 Chapter 381

    The king of Yue fell so loud that he woke up all the 11 princes who were sleeping inside. The little prince burst into tears. The sound was so loud that it could lift the roof of Chongjin palace.


    When Feng Guifei saw that her little son was out of breath, she was very distressed. She took a few steps to coax her little son in her arms. While coaxing him, he scolded his eldest son, "you child, don''t know what''s going on. Do you scare your brother?"


    The king of Yue was already angry. His mother and concubine, who had always been in love with him, were blaming themselves. He took a look at Feng Guifei''s younger brother, and his face showed dissatisfaction. Since he had this younger brother, his mother became more and more impatient with her.


    Seeing that his mother''s concubine was just there to coax his younger brother, he didn''t give a single look to himself. The king of Yue had an indescribable loss in his heart. Now he wasn''t staying in Chongjin palace, so he went back to the prince''s office.


    When Feng Guifei coaxed her little son, she didn''t see her eldest son when she came out. Listen to the palace maid say that he has gone for a while, Feng Guifei only angry brain Ren pain, these two smelly boys, are the evil relationship of the previous life! I''ve come to conquer her all my life!


    Qi returned to Qi. Fearing that her eldest son would do something irrational in his anger, Feng rushed to the prince''s office. Haosheng comforted the king of Yue.


    Here, Shen Tian asked his subordinates, "is everything clear? There''s no tail left, is there? "


    The visitor replied, "our people are very skilled. After robbing the goods, we can return them neatly without leaving any clues."


    Shen Tian nodded, then pondered for a while, and then said, "don''t bring these goods to Beijing, just transport them to Jinmen and dispose of them. How much cash is there this time? "


    The visitor replied, "there is not much silver, only more than 2000 taels of gold. In addition, 50000 taels of silver were found on the leader."


    Shen Tian frowned and said, "it seems that this old six really can''t do business. It''s such a big debate. He only made so much money in a year!"


    The visitor said, "Your Highness the king of Yue, heaven decorated nobles, what kind of business way? All these things are managed by outsiders. He just collects money. It''s not that he''s talkative. The Feng family members he''s using are more and more greedy. If he didn''t have the right momentum now, he might not even have the money. But the goods are all made of top-grade leather and red ginseng. They can always be sold for fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver. "


    Shen Tian said in a deep voice, "that''s all. It''s better to talk than nothing. Although it''s easy to get money in this business, it''s more risky. The gold is worth two thousand yuan, and the rest will be shared by the people at the bottom. "


    Smell speech, the visitor immediately bow body way "thank Lord son thick reward."


    Shen Tian waved his hand and said, "as long as you are loyal, you will not be mistreated. Well, you go down. " The man stooped down.


    In other people''s eyes, it was only when Shen Tian was visiting the flower garden, he saw the rough servant girl cleaning the garden and asked a few words casually. There was nothing to doubt.


    After she left, Shen Tian strolled around the garden and saw that two begonias were just in bloom, so he praised "this Begonia is in bloom this year."


    As soon as the voice fell, a servant girl came and said, "Madam Shen is here."


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "the garden is brighter. Please invite Mrs. Shen to the Bibo Pavilion in front of us." The servant girl agreed to go.


    Leisurely, he followed the servant girl and came all the way to the back garden of King Liang''s mansion. At this time, Shen Tian was already sitting in the pavilion. When he saw her, he said with a smile, "I thought you had just moved. There were so many things to do. I didn''t expect that you had time to come over." After seeing the ceremony leisurely, he got up and said, "no matter how busy I am, I still have some Kung Fu to greet my mother. I''m relieved to see her look good now. "


    Shen Tian said with a noncommittal smile, "the most important thing in the palace is all kinds of tonics. No matter how uncomfortable your body is, the tonic of this kind of soup and that kind of soup in zhenri can always make you look ruddy. What can you see? I can''t say I''m suffering from this meeting. "


    She said with a smile, "my mother is used to frighten me. If I can''t even see her happiness and anger, I''ve known her for years. I look at her look today. Something good must have happened. "


    Shen Tian has always been cold, but the joy in her eyes today can''t be covered. Although Shen Tian was a little worried before she did it, now it''s all over smoothly. She got so much money in vain, and by the way, she suppressed the arrogance of the king of Yue. How could she be unhappy? It''s a pity that this kind of thing is done occasionally. If we do it too much, there will inevitably be mistakes.


    Leisurely see Shen Tian just smile, there is no desire to continue to talk, there is no questioning. Coincidentally, she looked up and saw the two crabapple trees in the distance, and said with a busy smile, "I didn''t expect that the two crabapple trees were still in such good bloom in this season. The Begonia is very expensive, and it''s such a festive red. I can''t say that the empress will have a big happy event this year! "


    "Begonia is the most expensive"? Shen Tian is now a princess. No matter how expensive she is, she is the crown princess. Naturally, Shen Tian said that. She raised her teacup and said with a smile, "now only a few of you have said that. Many people are afraid that they are secretly watching my jokes!" In particular, the former crown princess and others, who have already quit the war of seizing their legitimate rights, pretend to be comforting and persuading when they meet, but in fact, which one is not waiting to see her joke? She and Liang Wang have been scheming for so many years. At the end of the day, if they are really cheap, they will be able to disgust themselves.


    Leisurely back to the way "is just some little people who do not know how to do so.". Those who have a long-term vision naturally know who to put the chips on. Today, I''m still a lobbyist for others. "


    Shen Tian was a little surprised. Leisurely had never been involved in these things before. She was surprised and asked, "who has such a big face, can you please move you?"


    Leisurely slowly said, "it''s not a matter of face, but this person''s identity is a little special. I''m not sure about the attitude of the empress, so I came to ask myself." Then he said what Mrs. Feng asked for.


    After listening to leisurely''s words, Shen Tian said with a smile, "this Ding Anbo couple is clever, just breaking the bone and connecting the tendons. Feng Fei is Ding Anbo''s own niece. It''s too late for him to shirk some things. It would have been better if the surrender had been earlier. At this meeting, the Lord has already annoyed his family. The last time, uncle Ding''an sent someone to come to the Lord to plead with him, he sent people out. But it''s not easy for me to fight against the Lord. "


    With Shen Tian''s permission, when he came home leisurely, he asked someone to pack the things Mrs. Feng had brought that day intact, and sent them back to Ding''an uncle''s house in person.


    How clever is Mrs. Feng? As soon as you look at leisurely''s posture, you can see that things are not good, and your face is a bit gloomy. Leisurely, in just a few months, Mrs. Feng had a lot of white hair on her temples. Although she couldn''t bear it, she could only harden her heart. "The princess said that it was the prince''s decision, and she couldn''t be the master. She could only try her best to say a few good words for her uncle''s family in the future, but the others couldn''t be enough."


    After all, Mrs. Feng has adjusted her mind and restored her elegant and calm appearance. She said with a faint smile, "my husband and I are ready for everything. It''s a great kindness for my wife to help me and give me a definite word in time. " If change a not very authentic, only take some ambiguous words hanging her home, will only let them more helpless. Now that I have the bottom of my heart, I can always think of some ways to come out.


    After that, leisurely will be ready to leave. Mrs. Feng asks the servant girl to carry things to her carriage. Seeing that leisurely still had to refuse, Mrs. Feng said, "it''s not easy to let my wife go for nothing. How can I be at ease if my wife doesn''t accept me? What''s more, I have something else to trouble madam! " Then she asked the maid to take out a brocade box and give it to leisurely. "Anyway, the princess gave us a definite word. There''s nothing we can do in our family to repay. We only have this idea to show filial respect to our mother. Our husband and wife are so old that we have nothing to worry about. We just hope that there will be an emergency in the future. Please take care of our grandchildren. "


    The box is light. It''s supposed to be something like silver notes. Leisurely doesn''t really want to get involved in these affairs, but she is convinced by Mrs. Feng''s resolute decision. Leisurely doesn''t know why she can''t see her niece imperial concubine and Yue brothers so well, but in such a situation, she can make corresponding arrangements decisively, and leisurely thinks that even she may not have the courage.


    As a last resort, leisurely had to go to the Liang palace again. Fortunately, after she moved, she was not too far away from these Prince''s and uncle''s houses. If she was still in her former house, she would have vomited by car.


    Shen Tian doesn''t want her to go back and forth. After hearing her leisurely intention, Shen Tian opens the brocade box with a smile. It''s really gold and silver bills, and two Chuang Tzu''s land deeds.


    After sweeping it all over again, Shen Tian said with a smile, "this lady Feng is as determined as you said. There are 100000 liang of silver and 5000 mu of good farmland in the southern suburbs. Their family is really willing to give up!"


    Then she said with a smile, "I don''t know how the lady in the palace would be angry if she knew that her father-in-law''s family was not optimistic about their mother and son?"


    Leisurely a Leng "isn''t the empress going to tell this matter to your empress?"


    Shen Tian shook his head. "I won''t do that. Let our lady think that her family is her strong backing. I''ll just make a fortune with a dull voice! "

 Chapter 382

    Then Shen Tian had the box put away. It''s the right time for her to use silver, so she has no affectation. She was also very satisfied with the current affairs of the ding''anbo couple, and she would return the cause and effect when she had the chance in the future.


    At this time, a servant girl came to Shen Tian with a prayer card and said, "I''ll tell you, the leader of Jinghua County has just sent someone to send a message."


    "Oh, take it and have a look." Shen Tian is a little surprised. The Lord of Jinghua County is not very close to her and their palace. It''s said that she and Princess Feng were very close a few days ago.


    Shen Tian opened the post and looked at it. He said with a smile, "I heard that the Jinghua County leader wanted her daughter to be princess Yue. How could Huizi even want to come to give me greetings? I don''t know what medicine is sold in the gourd?"


    Smell speech, leisurely suddenly remember a few words that Chen Shi said when she went to her home two days ago, now mention Shen Tian way: "speaking of this Jinghua County Lord, I think of one thing. Empress Xu knows that the princess once fell in love with the big girl of the Zhong family for general Fang. "


    Shen Tian nodded and said, "I''ve heard about this. It doesn''t mean that the Zhong family put all their attention on the seat of Princess Yue, but didn''t take a look at brother Jane?"


    Leisurely back to the way "Zhong big heart is true, but this mind may not only on the king of Yue.". After all, the Zhong family is not a first-class family. There is no real power in the family. It''s not easy for Miss Zhong to become a princess. I heard that when the Lord of Jinghua County took Miss Zhong to the palace and came out, he met his royal highness Liang on the Palace Road near dakangmen. Besides, Miss Zhong had a few words with her highness, and they seemed to have a good conversation. "


    Hearing this, Shen Tian sneered, "it seems that Miss Zhong has a big mind." Looking at leisurely and worried, he couldn''t help laughing and saying, "Why are you so sad? I''ve been used to it for so many years. Now I don''t live by love. Even without Miss Zhong, there will be Miss Liu and Miss Li. If there is one day in the future, there will only be more new people. If I''m worried about this little thing, I won''t have to live this day. "


    Then he sighed softly, "it''s a pity that the prince of our family is looking at Fangzheng, who likes the new and dislikes the old. In the future, if we really accept this girl, we don''t know how many days we can favor her?"


    The day soon arrived in late October. October 16 was a good day for Xu Guang to get married. Naturally, Shen Ze and his wife had to work hard, but one of them had a lot to do in the yamen, and the other, because the Xu family didn''t have any female dependents and it was not easy to go there too often, so they left the matter to Shen Jiang leisurely.


    Shen Jiang really has two brushes. He has a delicate mind and specially consulted the old man. He helps Xu Guang think ahead in everything, but he is very happy.


    Xu Guang''s family has no female dependents. On the day of dowry delivery, leisurely was asked by her again. He personally went to help entertain the female dependents and settle the dowry and other things.


    The dowry given by the Wei family is more than leisurely thought. Besides tea, fruit and other things, the other precious gold, silver and jewelry are almost all sent back. There are also several sets of gold and silver headpieces inlaid with jewelry. Except for two sets of new styles, the rest are old objects, which should be old things in the Wei family''s warehouse. However, the old objects are still glittering after being blasted again, which is not dazzling! In addition, there are 1600 liang of silver on the dowry list, which is equal to twice the amount of silver on the engagement of the Wei family.


    In addition to jewelry, furniture and other things, the Wei family lost more than two thousand taels of silver. In terms of the family background of the Wei family, it can be said that it is not heavy.


    After this incident, the young widowed lady Wei successfully brush a good impression. No one can say that she is not kind to the common girl. The rumors that hurt her badly in the past were a lot of dull in a moment.


    Of course, these are the afterwords. At this time, leisurely seeing the dowry, although there was some accident, he still pushed Xu Guang, who couldn''t close his mouth, and let people close the boxes and carry them to the wing room to lock them. Just now, a servant girl had looked at the dowry list sent by her. Seeing that everything was correct, she leisurely handed the dowry list and the key to Xu Guang. "No, here you are. You have to put it away. Don''t lose it." I didn''t expect Xu guangnao to scratch his head, but he refused to answer the question, "sister-in-law, you can help people to the end. It''s not peaceful at home these two days. I''m used to being extravagant all the time. If I lose anything again, won''t it be troublesome? It''s better for my sister-in-law to keep it for me and give it to my daughter-in-law on the day of marriage. "


    Leisurely did not have the good spirit to tease him "this did not marry, called the daughter-in-law?"? You, really, you''ve got to marry a daughter-in-law. How else can you live this life? "


    Xu Guanghan grinned and scratched his head quietly, but there was the little officer who came to help. Seeing leisurely and gentle, he said with a smile, "sister-in-law, now Xu Guang has married a daughter-in-law, but our brothers still have many single ones. If there are unmarried servant girls around, we should also consider our brothers."


    Leisurely always does not like others to make fun of her servant girl, especially in the public, how to listen to how all feel disrespectful. Although he didn''t change his face after hearing this, he just laughed and said nothing.


    After dealing with leisurely for a long time, Xu Guang saw leisurely''s displeasure, and immediately said with a smile, "OK, OK, is this what I said here? I really drank two mouthfuls of yellow soup. I don''t know my last name? Go to work, set up the tables and chairs for me, and some relatives will come to drink later. " While talking, they all went forward.


    The man who spoke was also aware of his own gaffe, so he stuck out his tongue and followed the crowd.


    Seeing that they were all gone, Wang''s mother, who helped her, said with a smile, "they are all rude people. They don''t speak in a proper way. Grandma doesn''t want to have the same opinion with them."


    Leisurely shook his head and laughed, "I know, it''s just a joke, I didn''t care."


    On the wedding day, leisurely came back to be the man''s and woman''s dependents for a whole day. It was not until the evening when the guests were sent away and the dowry list and key were handed over to the bride, that she returned home.


    Since that day, the wedding banquet has never stopped. Either the son of Zhang Jia gets married or the daughter of Li family gets married.


    I don''t know if the common people in the capital have smelled something unusual. In short, they are rushing to marry their children before the new year.


    By the end of October, the capital had its first snow. Heavy snow, although a harbinger of next year''s harvest, but for some long sick people, it is not a good weather.


    Even in the face of the samsara of the four seasons, birth, aging and death, there is no good way. With the first heavy snow falling in winter, lundeti fell ill on his couch. For a moment, the atmosphere in the capital was as cold and severe as the winter of March 9.

 Chapter 383

    In such an atmosphere, although the wedding of a large family is much simpler, the common people''s home is still bustling, so it''s time to marry a daughter-in-law. There''s a saying that it''s good to marry a daughter-in-law for the new year.


    Seeing that emperor Longde was deeply ill, princesses, princesses and princesses came to the palace in turn to serve the sick, naturally some people in the court couldn''t sit still. Some officials have written to Emperor Longde asking him to set up the prince to rectify the country.


    Among them, the majority of the people supported the sixth Prince of Yue, which was almost praised inside and outside the court. Soon even the people knew the power of the king of Yue.


    When Youran first heard the news from Shen Ze, he said for a moment, "our Royal Highness the king of Liang, it''s not worth our lives. Even if his royal highness had some hope, he would not be able to give him such a letter. "


    Shen Ze picked his eyebrows and knew that his daughter-in-law was transparent. At the moment, he said, "I''m afraid, our Royal Highness the king of Yue is still secretly happy at the moment! Now that he''s in full swing in the court, how can he think that all this is just a mirage? "


    When leisurely asked about it, he felt quite speechless. How could the king of Yue not see such a simple number? For which emperor, when he is critically ill, he does not want to see his son busy competing for the throne and ignore his father''s body. The emperor is still alive. You are so busy trying to win over the courtiers. Don''t you want to die by yourself?


    She handed a cup of tea to Shen Ze and said with a slight frown, "it''s just that the king of Yue is young and doesn''t know the world. Concubine Feng has been in the palace for so many years. Don''t you think it''s wrong? And the Feng family, even Ding Anbo doesn''t want to get involved in this. What I can think of as a woman, no one else in the Feng family can see what''s wrong? "


    Shen Ze took a sip of tea, and Fang slowly said, "since you are rich and charming, although you have been immersed in the harem for many years, your eyes are within the palace wall. Otherwise, I would not have been estranged from my mother''s most farsighted uncle. As for the king of Yue, you said that he was young and didn''t understand. Naturally, he liked to listen to those flattering words. Not to mention the few knowledgeable people around him in the Feng family, they are just reminded. Do you think he can listen to them? "


    Seeing that his daughter-in-law was still thinking about this, Shen Ze took her shoulder and said, "lady, it''s so easy for your husband to come back earlier today. Would you tell me about these irrelevant people? Why don''t we talk about something else? "


    Then, leisurely was someone turned to the couch to talk about life events.


    In the atmosphere of the king of Yue''s increasing voice, time soon entered the twelfth lunar month. Although you are concerned about the situation in the palace, at the end of the year, you have to check the accounts, send gifts everywhere, and beat the steward who comes to close the accounts. You are so busy.


    Just at this time ushered in the marriage of willow leaves.


    The day when the willow leaves came out of the pavilion was set at the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month. Originally, Mr. Chen thought that it would be next spring, but aunt he said that there were no female dependents in his nephew''s family. He wanted Liu Ye to marry him a few years ago, so that she could help manage some family affairs. Such a statement is reasonable. Aunt Chen can''t say anything else. Of course, she can only answer it.


    Chen Jiading''s make-up day is the fourth day of the junior high school. Leisurely, although she didn''t get close to her, she still let Su merge a few little servant girls to go. Not to mention, Su he took several women and little boys to Chen''s house. When you add makeup alone, the red gold inlaid with emerald and Ruyi cloud pattern you leisurely give to your head makes the neighbors who come to watch the ceremony constantly praise you.


    In addition to leisurely, the other maids, either a hairpin or a hairpin, gave exquisite and valuable make-up gifts, and all of them contained a box.


    Swallow''s mother-in-law and sister-in-law also followed the crowd to praise the voice, swallow''s sister-in-law is jealous of the eyes are red, the heart would like to take these things for their own. She looked up and saw her sister-in-law put a purse into the box. The purse was bulging, and she didn''t know what to put. In the heart is dark hate unceasingly, this elder sister-in-law has good thing also don''t know to take care of oneself first, pure elbow outward turn, really is not virtuous! It''s just that since last time, the originally pungent swallow has become a little more considerate and more difficult to deal with. Even my brother is not facing himself now. Looking at the new lotus pattern hairpin on the swallow''s head, her sister-in-law stamped her feet secretly. When she got married, she must ask her sister-in-law to add a thick dowry to her. When the dowry was drying, the neighbors were full of praise when they saw the neat dowry of willow leaves. Not to mention the complete set of gold and silver jewelry, the whole piece of silk and satin, several boxes of four seasons clothes, brand-new red bedding, a whole set of Catalpa furniture, and even a box of rare books in the families of hundreds of common people.


    Thirty six people carried the dowry, and when they carried it out, they put it in a long way. Most of the onlookers were from nearby neighborhoods. Naturally, they knew the family background of the Chen family and the situation of LiuYe. In the past, I didn''t see how extravagant commander Shen''s family was. Now a servant girl in his family can save such wealth. It''s amazing!


    Even he Jia was surprised when he saw the bride''s dowry. He Xiucai''s aunt, he Shi, knows that Liu Ye is a big servant girl beside his wife, but she thinks that it''s good to have a hundred dollars. Now she has to buy these things for almost two thousand taels of silver. Although she didn''t expect her nephew to find a rich daughter-in-law, it''s a real pleasure that her nephew''s daughter-in-law happens to be rich. Even if they don''t need to subsidize their family in the future, the money will be given to their descendants. Originally for LiuYe''s servant girl, she was not dissatisfied now.


    On the day of returning to the gate in the three dynasties, LiuYe specially came to kowtow to leisurely. Leisurely see her face ruddy, canthus brow through a lingering endless joy, you know she had a good time after marriage. But he still said, "although you are married, your husband''s house is not too far away from the house. If you have time, just come and talk. This is half of your mother''s house. You don''t have to be polite if you have anything difficult to do. You are a man with music in your heart. I don''t have to say much about your wordy words. I''ll live a good life in the future. I can''t say. You''ll still have a good fortune in the future. "


    Willow leaves are naturally busy.


    Looking at the newly married willow leaves in red, I can''t help thinking about the situation when I just got married. In a flash, I''ve been married to the Shen family for six or seven years. Time really can''t stand the toss!


    Seeing off the willow leaves, leisurely preparing to go on with the reconciliation, he heard a young man come in and say, "good news to grandma, your Highness has just been canonized as the prince!"


    Hearing this, leisurely "Ho" stood up, "is this really true?"

 Chapter 384

    The boy who came to tell the news asked by his mother and replied respectfully, "I dare not lie. The news comes from the guards of dakangmen. The chief steward went to the street to inquire, saying that the princesses and concubines on the other side of Yuhua street had already set up a carriage and went to the palace of King Liang to celebrate their happiness. "


    Although the news is more peaceful than I imagined, no one would dare to lie about such a big thing. So he quickly went back to his room and changed his clothes. He asked someone to prepare a congratulatory gift for Shen Tian.


    As soon as she changed her clothes, Fang Xinsu sent her servant girl to talk about it. Leisurely let people take the first-class reward to come, quick on the carriage, she first went to Zhongguo mansion.


    Han''s side got the news, is preparing to take a car, see leisurely came, two people went to Liang Wangfu together.


    At this time, the palace was really full of guests and bustling. Most of the people who could get into the palace were the first-class princes and princes. These people have seen leisurely in the past, but today they are a little more genial. The concubine''s family members and the crown prince''s family members are not at the same level at all.


    Shen Tian''s younger brother was not old enough to get married. Although Han''s two concubines'' daughter-in-law also came to serve them, their identities were limited. So leisurely for the next few days, he almost stayed in the prince Liang''s residence. No, it was the prince''s residence that helped Shen Tian entertain all the women''s families.


    Not to mention leisurely, even the king of Liang was a little puzzled. He still had several big moves to do. Why did his father suddenly give him the crown prince. Although he had planned this seat for a long time, it was a bit unexpected that he came here so smoothly.


    In fact, it''s up to Emperor Longde himself to say that among the princes today, who else can be chosen instead of the fifth? Old six? That''s always the smoke bomb he let out. He just tried the fifth''s mind through the sixth mother and son.


    As a result, Lao Wu did not disappoint him, no matter how the people inside and outside the court took the helm. Old five from the beginning to the end did not show any flaws, has been very stable! No matter what''s inside, at least on the surface, such calm and steady is the quality that an emperor should have. Although lundeti was partial to the first prince, he had to admit that the fifth was more talented than the prince in the application of political skills. At the beginning, the crown prince was in his hands, and he asked many famous teachers and scholars to teach him, so that he could achieve that day''s success. In contrast, five is much more tactful here.


    Longde emperor sometimes even doubts that if the first prince was here, he would not be able to do what he is now in the face of the beloved little brother Lao Liu.


    As for Lao Liu, this child, although he just pushed out to confuse the public, but in the end it is too far away. Not yet, how to be so domineering. When he thought of that day, lundeti was still a little annoyed.


    On that day, there was just a heavy snow. At noon, the sun is just right. Xia Zhaoyi takes her son and daughter to greet the queen. When he came to the Royal Garden, the eighth prince saw the white and soft trees on the roadside. He liked them very much, so he played with snowballs.


    Xia Zhaoyi knew that her son had no hope of succeeding to the throne, and he was always in his way. In addition, Princess Leqing, who is very popular with emperor Lund, has always been a playful girl. She had a good time with her younger brother and went forward to play with him.


    Sister and brother played on the path of the Royal Garden, throwing a snowball or something at each other from time to time. But unfortunately, a group of people suddenly came along the side path. The snowball that the eighth Prince threw at his sister accidentally dropped on the boot of the leader.


    Yue Qing saw that the visitor was the sixth prince who was in the limelight recently. She took her brother to plead guilty and said, "please give my best regards to the sixth brother. I don''t know that the sixth brother passed by here. The eighth brother failed for a moment. Please don''t blame him."


    Xia Zhaoyi, who had led the palace people to follow far behind, saw that something was wrong. At this time, she had caught up. She saw the snowball on the king of Yue''s boots that hadn''t melted off. First, she blamed her son for it. Then he apologized to the king of Yue and said, "I''m really sorry for the mischievous little eight. Please don''t be angry with him. I''ll ask the house to make two pairs of good sheepskin boots and send them to you. I''ll make amends for you on behalf of Xiao ba. " Who knows that the king of Yue hummed "sheepskin boots"? Xia Zhaoyi is really calculating. My boots are made of good white tiger skin. There is only one pair in the palace. You see, Xiao Ba made me so dirty that I can still wear it? "


    Xia Zhaoyi followed his words and saw that the snowball had already melted. Although it left a shallow mark on the white boots, it was not particularly obvious. It is obvious that the king of Yue is trying to find fault with this. Although Xia Zhaoyi is secretly annoyed, it is always his own fault, so he has to swallow his anger and say, "according to his Highness''s idea, how should this matter be handled?"


    The king of Yue often heard his mother''s concubine say that Xia Zhaoyi was a fox spirit. He often brought Longde emperor to his palace, which made her out of favor for many years. If her mother''s concubine had a chance to give birth to the eleventh Prince this time, he might not have the dignity of today. In the past, my father really liked Badi more than him. Even now, my father often brings Badi to his side to talk.


    This will be very easy to grasp the handle of Xia''s mother and son. Of course, the king of Yue refused to give in easily. With a turn of his eyes, he said with a smile, "it''s not too much trouble. Since my shoes are dirty by my eighth brother, I''ll let my eighth brother clean them myself."


    Hearing this, Xia Zhaoyi is very angry. Even if Xiao Ba has no hope of succeeding, he is also the prince of the palace, one of the masters of the palace. If this meeting really let small eight in front of so many eunuchs and maids to wipe shoes for old six, how can he raise his head in the palace in the future?


    Seeing that Xia Zhaoyi didn''t speak for a long time, the king of Yue snorted, "why, Xia Zhaoyi doesn''t want to? It seems that your heart of making amends is not so sincere! "


    At this time, Le Qing turned her eyes, took the king of Yue''s sleeve and said, "brother Liuhuang, don''t be angry with Xiao ba. You see, he is too scared to speak. My sister has just learned how to make shoes. I''ll make a pair of shoes for you another day. How about making amends for Xiao Ba? "


    Because of the emperor''s favor, Le Qing is also quite domineering in this palace. There are few soft times. It''s reasonable to say that at this time, the king of Yue has earned enough face, even if he comes down the steps.


    I didn''t expect that the king of Yue didn''t know which one of his tendons was twitching. He threw away Le Qing''s arm and said, "I''m talking to your mother. What''s the point of your being a girl?"


    I don''t know if it''s because he''s using more strength, or if it''s because of something else. In a word, Le Qing fell to the ground suddenly, and unfortunately, her head hit a stone, and she was bleeding.

 Chapter 385

    This change made everyone present a little unexpected. Xia Zhaoyi didn''t expect that it was just a moment. Her daughter became like this. She ran to her and saw her face pale with her eyes closed. The blood in the back of her head was still flowing out. She covered her wound with a handkerchief and cried, "what are you doing? Why don''t you go and ask for a doctor


    The palace maids came back to their senses and went to the imperial doctor in a hurry. The eighth prince was very young. Seeing that his elder sister, who had always loved him, suddenly became like this, he burst into tears, pointed to the king of Yue and said, "you beat your elder sister, you are a bad man!"


    The king of Yue was still a little flustered when he saw the tragic situation of Le Qing. When he heard this, he became angry and said, "you little son of a bitch, do you say it again?"


    The eighth Prince is young. He doesn''t know what to do. At this time, he only thinks that the sixth brother is bad. He shouts "you are a bad guy, big bad guy!" without showing weakness


    At this time, Xia Zhaoyi is concentrating on her daughter, not considering her son. What she thought is simple. Her daughter has been injured by the sixth prince. Can he hurt her son again?


    But the sixth Prince''s thoughts were different from those of ordinary people. He rolled up his sleeves and sneered, "I don''t know how to learn well at a young age, so he insulted me. Such eyes have no elder brother. How can it be good to be in the past? Today, I will teach you for father Haosheng, what is respect for elder brother Then he raised his hand to slap the eighth prince.


    Just then, a stone from a distance hit the wrist of the king of Yue''s right hand. He immediately put his right hand down and grasped it with his other hand. "Who''s so bold, you don''t want to die..."


    As he scolded, he looked in the direction of the stone, but the rest of his words were swallowed in his throat. Not far away, the empress is taking some geese from the princess Shi Shi ran to this side.


    Even if the king of Yue was arrogant, he would not dare to fight against his mother openly. Seeing that the empress had come to her, she bowed herself and said, "my son''s ministers have seen my mother, and I have seen your sister-in-law and sister-in-law."


    But empress Meng didn''t even look at him. She went directly over him to Yueqing. As early as the confrontation between the king of Yue and Xia Zhaoyi, a servant reported back to empress Meng. Although empress Meng knew that the king of Yue was a generous man, she was right under her nose. She just told the palace people to pay attention to the movement here. She didn''t expect that the king of Yue could do such an outrageous thing.


    Seeing the lifeless Yueqing and the weeping xiazhaoyi, empress Meng is "clucking" in her heart. She looks at the emperor''s health. If anything happens to Yueqing, the situation will be even worse. He said, "how can we deal with the ice and snow outside? Come on, someone will take the princess to my palace. Why hasn''t the doctor come yet? Pass on my word and call for the imperial doctor Qin. Hurry up. "


    The palace people carried Yueqing to Fengning palace. Empress Meng turned around and saw the king of Yue standing up by herself. She said angrily, "rebellious son! When did the palace give you a free gift? He was so rude and reckless that he didn''t feel guilty for throwing his sister like this. He even beat his younger brother. How old is Xiao Ba this year? Don''t say he didn''t make a big mistake, but he had a wrong idea. You''re a good brother and have the same opinion as a yellow haired child? Where have all the sages read? You go back to the prince and stay. If Le Qing doesn''t get in the way, it''s OK. If she has a problem, the emperor won''t be willing to deal with you, and we won''t let you be at ease! " With that, he left in a hurry.


    Fortunately, Le Qing''s wound was just looking at the servant. After the imperial doctor came to diagnose it, he only said it was a skin injury. After taking the medicine, Hao Sheng would keep him for about a month.


    After listening to the doctor''s diagnosis, Xia Zhaoyi finally got a long sigh of relief and quickly got up to thank the queen and others.


    Empress Meng said to Xia Zhaoyi, "Yueqing is afraid of catching cold in the wind. It''s not suitable to move at this time. Let her take care of her injury here and then move back." Xia Zhaoyi saw that the empress insisted on this, so she had to answer according to her words. Shen Tian happens to be here. She is sent out by the Queen''s will. When she came to the palace gate, she saw that Xia Zhaoyi was reluctant to give up. She quickly comforted her and said, "Zhaoyi doesn''t have to worry too much. Yueqing was hurt near Fengning palace. The mother''s move was also due to her guilt. What''s more, the queen mother is the mother of the country. Yueqing can not only use the best medicine, but also summon the imperial doctor at any time, which is more convenient than following Zhaoyi. "


    Hearing the speech, Xia Zhaoyi said with a strong smile, "thank you for your comfort. I know the truth in my heart. It''s just that this mother can''t take care of her children with her own eyes. She''s always worried."


    Shen Tian replied, "it''s all mothers. I understand the mind of the empress. It''s just that sister Le Qing''s injury is not suitable to move now. Is to follow Niang Niang back to Yi Lan temple, is it difficult for Niang Niang to keep in front of her all the time? Since the empress is concerned, just come and have a look. The empress has always been generous. Can she stop her? "


    Xia Zhaoyi brows this just stretch some "the princess said in reason, is I think narrow."


    Because of emperor Longde''s physical discomfort, the empress and the prince and princess took turns to serve the disease. Xia Zhaoyi has won the emperor''s favor in the past two years, and the chance of this disease is also great. As usual, when Xia Zhaoyi attends to his illness, Yue Qing often follows him. At a young age, she already knows how to help her father wipe his mouth and serve tea. He didn''t see her for several days, so lundeti couldn''t help asking her several times.


    At first, people were afraid that he would be angry and kept it a secret. Although Xia Zhaoyi hated the king of Yue in his heart, he was also afraid that the disease of emperor Longde would get worse, so he only said that Yue Qing had caught the cold and was inconvenient to come.


    But in addition to Le Qing, there is also a king of Yue who has never come. He wanted to come, but he was shut up by Empress Meng, and asked him to reflect on his own mistakes in the prince''s place, and copied the family rules of the Ji family of the Dakang royal family 30 times.


    Although there are only a hundred and ten family rules, it takes a whole day to write them carefully. Thirty times is a month. Not to mention that the king of Yue didn''t agree with her, even though Princess Feng won the title of Princess by herself, she didn''t want the queen to interfere in the cultivation of the king of Yue.


    Empress Meng didn''t even want to waste her time arguing with Feng Fei. She called the female officials around her and explained the palace rules of the Dakang Dynasty to Feng Fei again, especially the difference between di and Shu. The female official told Princess Feng the palace rules for three days, but she lost her temper.


    Concubine Feng wanted to pretend to be dizzy or something, but as soon as she said that she was not comfortable, empress Meng said, "since you are not feeling well, go back and have a good life. But the eleventh Prince is too young to be ill. Since you don''t feel well, move the little prince out first. When you are well, let''s talk about it. " Only one word scared Feng to be sick.


    Without Feng Fei''s advice, the king of Yue is the tiger without teeth. He can only stay obediently in the prince''s house and copy the family rules.


    Emperor Longde didn''t see the king of Yue and Yueqing for several days. In addition, the color on the faces of Princess Feng and Xia Zhaoyi couldn''t be covered up, so he guessed what had happened. When there was no one in the hall, he asked Yu Gui.


    Yu Gui is the eunuch in charge of the Qianyuan palace. Naturally, the affairs of the harem can''t be concealed from him. He didn''t say that he was afraid that the emperor''s body would not support him. When he met with emperor Lund, he didn''t dare to hide anything, so he had to speak slowly.


    After hearing about the whole incident, lundeti was angry and laughed. He didn''t know whether to scold or laugh. Old six, a rebellious son, should be scolded for his lack of affection for his brother and sister, but it''s ridiculous for him to make such an undisguised show of arrogance and indulgence. Which one of the people in the deep palace compound doesn''t live with several masks. Only this old six can''t even pretend.


    Longde emperor heard that Le Qing was recovering in Fengning palace. He wanted to go and have a look in person. He was persuaded by the servants. Emperor Longde had no choice but to order Yu Gui to bring a number of superior supplements and utensils to Fengning palace.


    After Yu Gui left, long de Di leaned on the bed and sighed. Just now, he just stood up and walked for two steps. He felt dizzy. It seems that his body is really out of order. Think of so many children, grandchildren, and concubines, there must be a charter, some things really can''t be delayed! Today''s princes, no matter in terms of seniority, contacts or military achievements, are inferior to the fifth. If you don''t make him prince, any other person will cause a bloodbath. That''s all. Although the old five is scheming, he hasn''t done anything harmful to nature. He''s filial on weekdays. That''s him. I don''t know what''s going to happen if I toss on!


    The next morning, the imperial edict of making the king of Liang the prince was issued.


    When leisurely knows the twists and turns in the palace from Fang Xinsu''s mouth, he can''t help guessing that maybe the king of Liang... No, his royal highness is the real traveler? Look at the family who has the worst family background, but married the most powerful prince and concubine in her family; He is not young, but his elder brothers, including his Royal Highness the prince, have become the oldest healthy prince; It''s so easy to win the throne. There''s an opponent on the way, and that person has lost his future... Next, he should be the prince and the successor to the throne. How can he see the rhythm of winning in life!


    I just don''t know how the new prince will treat his wife''s family in the future? Is it more courteous or less cruel?


    Leisurely doesn''t want to worry about nothing, but according to the many historical books and the experience of novels and TV dramas, as the Queen''s mother, it''s not safe to think about it!

 Chapter 386

    If you let Shen Tian know leisurely''s idea at this time, he will say to her that you think too much. If someone is a little more peaceful, he will not be sure who is the first to have bad luck!


    No matter what leisurely thought in his heart, now the imperial edict has been issued, Shen Tian has become the crown prince''s concubine, and there is an endless stream of guests in the crown prince''s mansion. Even the guests at leisurely''s home more than doubled, just at the end of the new year. Those who knew or didn''t know each other sent gifts. Today, the illness of emperor Longde is no longer a secret matter. People who have a little relationship with him all know that the emperor is going to be bad. Naturally, it is necessary to pay more attention to the future descendants. Even if they can''t get along with each other, it''s a good idea.


    Compared with Mrs. Shen leisurely, naturally, Shen Ze has more space to attract people''s interests. So in addition to ordinary gifts, there are also rich businessmen to Shen Ze to send Yangzhou thin horse and Qingjun boy. Although Shen Ze doesn''t like these heretical things, he can''t stand them. There are too many people rushing to give gifts.


    Once again, Shen Ze was directly annoyed by the situation of seeing a girl off at his colleague''s dinner. But he didn''t turn his face on the spot. He just asked with a smile, "is this girl really willing to give it to me?"


    If you are familiar with Shen Ze, you can see his displeasure. But it was a big salt merchant from the south of the Yangtze River who came to give gifts. There was something wrong with his family''s business, so he was busy trying to curry favor with the powerful prince and princess. This is to let him present his own daughter. I''m afraid it''s nothing to give up. Hearing Shen Ze ask like this, naturally he is busy and agrees.


    Shen Ze nodded and accepted the man. Then he told the boy, "send the girl home and give it to his wife."


    The onlookers thought that Shen Ze was finally enlightened this time. Although he didn''t dare to make fun of him, he was a little disdainful to let you pretend. Look, it won''t work. Those who have deep thoughts are pondering. Just now, this one is not as beautiful as those before. I don''t know what it is that Lord Shen has shown me.


    The thin horse girl''s name is Xiaoman, and the soft waist really answers the sentence "willow waist", so it''s named. This meeting son still thinks oneself this is fortune turn, when being taken away, still did not forget to throw a flattering eye to Shen Ze. It''s a pity that this eye is destined to be thrown to the blind.


    When I came back to the Shen family, there happened to be some female relatives of Shen Ze''s subordinates flattering here. Jiang Gongren, a member of general Zhonglang''s family in the imperial forest army, is complimenting: "my wife and commander Shen have always been very affectionate. It''s said that the commander just declined a pair of Yangzhou lean horses sent by others. Shen Da''s affection for his wife is really enviable. "


    As soon as the voice was over, the boy brought the girl. Seeing this scene, the flower hall, which was quite busy just now, suddenly became silent.


    Jiang Gongren secretly clenched his teeth and thought that it was bad. This time, he flattered the horse.


    After the boy led the man to the flower hall, he bowed back and said, "the master said that there were too many girls to send, and they all refused, and they didn''t give people face. Let the little one give the person to grandma and ask her to dispose of it according to her own will. " Then he handed over Xiaoman''s contract of selling himself.


    Leisurely took a look at the hand of the servant girl and nodded slightly. Su he took the contract and put it away.


    Several of the women nearby were thinking that this time, even if Mrs. Shen was not happy, she would have to pretend to be virtuous and magnanimous to make a good living?


    People may not have the heart to watch the excitement, but leisurely did not play the card. She slowly sipped a sip of tea, and Fang said with a slow smile, "since it''s according to my heart, then I don''t pretend. I have a small mind. I can''t hold any sand in my eyes. My sister-in-law is approaching the age of marriage, and she can''t tolerate such a woman. Just in time, the front yard to see the stable of the old Li Tou, the family women go early, there is no descendants. It happened that he was an old man who had served the old man at home for so many years. Even our uncle doesn''t want to look at such an old man. The evening is bleak and there is no one to follow. Let''s take this man to Lao Li Tou to be his daughter-in-law. No matter whether you can have a baby or not, at least let Lao Li be taken care of while he is alive. " In the middle of this, the little man was already scared and trembled. "Dong" knelt down, and could not help kowtowing and crying, "please forgive me. Just leave the maid beside me, even if it''s a kitten or a dog. As a slave, you have to repay your wife''s kindness. "


    No matter how she begged for mercy, she just did not hear. At this time, she could not be soft hearted. If she stepped back, countless troubles would follow. Although she is tough on the face, but a word on the end of such a young woman''s youth, the heart is also a little uneasy. Leisurely sighed in his heart. Even after so many years, he was still influenced by his previous life. She nibbled her lower lip and held up her cup to hide her uneasiness.


    Jiang Gongren is annoyed that she just made a slip of the tongue. The meeting has not developed as she thought. She is thinking about how to save the scene. She hears Xiaoman''s words. She glanced at her leisurely face, gritted her teeth, and said to Xiaoman with a smile, "girl, this is not so reasonable. My wife is willing to give you a future to give you face. Since you claim that you are willing to be a cow and a horse for your wife, now you are only asking you to marry a servant. How can you live and die? "


    Xiaoman cried and said softly, "but my master asked me to come and serve Lord Shen."


    If a man sees a pear blossom with rain, he will feel heartbroken. It''s a pity that these in the room are the original main rooms. The most disgusting thing is such faces. In order to please leisurely, you scold Xiaoman one by one.


    Leisurely put down the teacup and waved her hands with a smile. The crowd gradually died out and looked at leisurely to see how she would end. Leisurely looking at Xiaoman, he said with a smile, "since you don''t want to marry Lao Li Tou, I can''t force others to do so." With that, he made a deliberate pause.


    Seeing that things seemed to turn for the better, the little man kowtowed and said, "thank you, madam."


    Leisurely turned to the boy who brought her in and said, "since this little girl doesn''t want to stay in our house, you can take her back to her old master. We Shen family can''t force others to deal with difficulties. We need a servant who doesn''t want to


    The little guy answers quickly, and Su he hands him the contract of selling himself he just received from his sleeve.


    Seeing this, Xiaoman felt a little "clatter" in his heart. How could Mrs. Shen be different from other ladies she had met before? Aren''t these ladies the most respectable? Even for the sake of fame, I will pretend to accept them first. As long as she can get into the backyard, she can get close to the man


    But how can the situation today be so far from what we imagined? Seeing that he had come to his side, Xiaoman kowtowed and said, "I''m willing to listen to my wife''s assignment." What if I don''t want to? If she was sent back, she would end up a hundred times more miserable. Thinking of those silent sisters who had disappeared in the past, Xiaoman shrank for a moment, thinking that staying in the Shen family might save his life.


    Leisurely this just changed to smile appearance "you wish."

 Chapter 387

    Then, leisurely said, "I see today''s sunny day is a good day, and I don''t have to choose any more auspicious days. Let''s get married today." Turn to order servant girl way "tell big kitchen, prepare two good table noodles, reward to old Li Tou." He also told his wife to take Xiaoman down to clean up.


    At this time, Yang''s mother turned her eyes and asked with a smile, "as a rule, all the servants in the mansion get married with rewards. But this little... The new daughter-in-law is from outside. I dare to ask grandma, what is the reward for the new daughter-in-law? "


    Leisurely light back way "do you think?" Seeing that leisurely seemed a little unhappy, Gan Song said to one side, "Mom, what a big thing, it''s worth asking grandma. The new daughter-in-law hasn''t taken any errands, and she hasn''t worked as a servant girl


    Smell speech, leisurely angry at her one eye, "you talk a lot, so many wives and grandmothers look at it, really according to what you say, no let people say our stingy."


    Then he told mother Yang, "don''t listen to Gan song. Since you are from outside, you should be more respectable. According to the second-class servant girl''s example, give her a dowry of ten Liang silver and three feet of red silk. In addition, I look at her and think she is quite sensible. From my private room, I give her a pair of silver hairpins and a pair of golden cloves


    This sounds very respectable to Xiaoman, but everyone knows that the reward of a servant girl''s marriage is only drizzle, and the things given by the master in private are the big ones. For example, when willow leaves got married, the set of jewelry leisurely gave me when I added makeup was worth two or three hundred taels of silver, not to mention anything else.


    At this time, leisurely servant girls have basically felt the master''s pulse. Gan song took the lead in saying, "I made a slip of the tongue just now, and there''s no need for grandma to punish me. I''ll make amends myself first. I''ll punish myself for giving the bride the silver red jacket I just got a few days ago. "


    Mother Yang said with a smile, "the sewing room is busy making new year''s clothes these days, and there is really no time to get married. Miss Gansong is so generous. Although the clothes are not very red, the bride is the stepmother, and the silver red also makes her happy. "


    As soon as the sound fell, Su he said with a smile, "it happens that I still have a pomegranate skirt and a brand-new Begonia red chinchilla fur coat. Let''s give them to the bride." Then, the other servant girls followed suit one after another, this gave a pair of yarn flowers, that gave a purse, and the atmosphere in the flower hall became lively again.


    Several female guests looked at each other, and they were all confused. Can this be done? Have that careful eye still in the in the mind secretly think, also don''t know Shen adult after coming back how of furious!


    Jiang Gongren responded most quickly and immediately agreed with him with a smile: "madam is really kind-hearted, and she is so generous to her servants. It''s just a coincidence today that I''ve come across this happy event. In that case, I''ll also get together. " Then she asked the maid to take out a purse and said with a smile, "I''m not thicker than my wife''s private room. There are two liang silver in it. It''s a gift for the bride." It''s not that she is stingy and refuses to give more, but the silver is not given to leisurely. I''m afraid leisurely won''t be happy if she gives more.


    It happens that Xu Guang''s new wife, Wei, is also here. Thanks to leisurely husband and wife''s help in her marriage, she has no idea how comfortable she is when she is young. Naturally, she is very grateful to leisurely. Just now, I was still worried about leisurely. At this point, I couldn''t think about Shen Ze''s mind. He immediately said with a smile, "since Jiang Gongren has taken the lead, I''ll give a couple of silver to the newcomers. Let''s join in the fun."


    There were two of them taking the lead, and even though they were unwilling, the other women''s family members also took one or two of them out.


    Leisurely see, let the servant girl take the things to the bride. He said with a smile, "this bride is also able to choose the right time. Just at this time, she came into the door and took a lot of gifts from Bai duo. I feel very uneasy about letting everyone spend money with me. Don''t leave at noon. Just stay. I''ll prepare a banquet for you


    "I often hear my husband say that before he got married, he often came to the house to eat and boast that the food was delicious. It''s a coincidence that I''m here today. If I''m happy, I can still have a good mouth. " I didn''t expect that the Wei family was very good at delivering ladders. He said to her leisurely and kindly, "well, Xu Guang didn''t come here much after he had a daughter-in-law. Last time I saw him by chance, he looked a lot fatter. I think it must be you who took good care of him. I also told him to come and play with you when he had time. As a result, you didn''t come all the time. This boy must have turned a deaf ear to my words. "


    Wei murmured in his heart that Xianggong had not said it to himself. Did he forget it? She was worried in her heart, so she said with a smile, "OK, I''m just teasing you. At the end of this year, there are many things to do in the barracks. After waiting for the new year, you must come here often. "


    Wei quickly agreed with a smile, and then listen to leisurely asked, "you get married almost two months, Gaoming can come down?"


    Wei''s smile "not yet, the end of the year, the Yamen is busy, I''m not more than three grades of Gaoming, estimated to wait for next year."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s still some days before the Yamen holiday. I''ll ask someone to help you. I''ll try to seal it for you before the new year. It''s nice to visit relatives in the first month of next year."


    Naturally, she had enough assurance to say such things in public. Now leisurely living in this everywhere to see the background of the environment, naturally will not affectate put their own large number of contacts do not use. She never does anything harmful to nature, and sometimes it doesn''t get in the way of some icing on the cake.


    Hearing this leisurely, the people in the hall naturally didn''t think she was talking big. They were annoyed that they didn''t help her just now.


    However, Jiang Gongren was a little uncomfortable. She was the first one who came out to help the flag waving just now. How could this Xu grandmother get all the benefits? Fortunately, Jiang Gongren''s nature was quite generous. Although he was slightly unhappy in his heart, he didn''t show anything. When I had to eat, I still talked and laughed at the banquet, and never let it cool down.


    After three rounds of wine, everyone was slightly drunk and said leisurely, "there are some red plum trees in this garden, which are quite fresh. If you are bored in the room, you might as well go out and enjoy the flowers."


    It was the first time that everyone came to Shen''s new house. Naturally, they would like to have a look at it. When they heard leisurely words, they put on their big clothes and went to the garden one after another.


    In front of the flower hall is a half acre pond. At this time, the weather is cold and the water is frozen. There is nothing to look at. On the south side of the pond is a small garden with two acres of land, which is used to distinguish the front and back courtyard. There are more than ten red plum trees planted in the garden. It''s a good time to be in bud. All the people praised him.


    Because of some scattered plum trees, people gradually dispersed. Instead, Jiang Gongren stayed by leisurely side all the time, and leisurely pointed to the nearby scenery to explain a few words to her.


    Suddenly, after a leisurely turn of words, he looked at a bead hairpin on Jiang Gong''s head and said with a smile, "the bead hairpin of palace people looks very chic. It doesn''t look like the craftsmanship of Jingzhong."


    Jiang Gongren held the Pearl hairpin on his head and said with a smile, "madam, you have good eyesight. My mother''s younger brother brought it back from Jiangnan. It''s not a valuable thing, but it''s my younger brother''s intention, so I always wear it these days. "


    Leisurely echoed: "your brother''s heart is the most precious." Then he asked, "don''t I remember that Gong Ren''s mother''s family is also local in Beijing? How can your brother go to Jiangnan? "

 Chapter 388

    When Youran suddenly asked about Zhu Chai just now, Jiang Gongren had some doubts. It''s not that leisurely wants to take her things. After all, the bead hairpin is really just a good one. The beads used are not as big as soybeans. Let alone leisurely, the Pearl hairpin inserted on Su he''s head is more valuable than this one.


    After hearing her talk about her brother, Jiang Gongren''s thoughts flashed through his mind. She put a horizontal heart, dry simply crisp said, "according to common sense, all the way is a family scandal, not to be publicized.". Only the madam is not a stranger, words again said here, I and madam said. My mother used to be a stepmother, but my father left a son. Originally my mother gave birth to two of our sisters, but she didn''t feel happy again for many years. Who would have thought that when it came to me and Ji, my mother suddenly got pregnant again and gave birth to my younger brother. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s a happy event to import more children."


    Jiang Gongren replied, "it''s a happy event for our mother and daughter, but my elder brother doesn''t think so. At that time, the eldest brother of my mother''s family already had grandchildren. Seeing that my father had a baby son, I was afraid that my father would be partial to the baby son and leave all the property to my younger brother, so I encouraged my father to separate the family. My father was so angry that he could not afford to get sick and went there. My eldest brother''s family didn''t feel guilty. Instead, they everywhere claimed that they had killed my father because of my brother''s hard life. "


    Today, Jiang Gongren can''t help but blush at the thought of the hardships he encountered in those days. She said with a choking voice, "madam, I don''t know how embarrassing it was. Even the people I started to marry couldn''t get used to the chaos in my family, so I just gave up


    In leisurely''s heart, Jiang Gongren has always been bright and bright. I didn''t expect that she had such twists and turns when she was young. Leisurely see each other''s handkerchief wet, busy handed a new past, and gently advised, "Gong Ren now children, husband and wife love, also can be regarded as a happy and bitter, before all kinds of disappointments let it go with the wind."


    Jiang Gongren took the handkerchief and wiped his tears from the corner of his eyes. He said with a smile, "look at me, where are you going? In a word, my mother''s family split up after my father''s death. Although my mother''s family had never been a senior official, she had also been a junior official for two or three generations. At that time, her family had twenty or thirty thousand assets. But my mother was weak by nature, and she didn''t want to argue with my elder brother at that time. She shared less than 3000 liang of property. My eldest brother is too much to give, and he wants to deduct my dowry again. Fortunately, my eldest uncle''s work is fair, and my uncle has just been promoted from the Ministry of work of Wupin. With the two of them looking after me, my elder brother is not too much. It''s just that my elder brother thinks that our brothers and sisters have thinned up his family property, and that it''s good if we don''t take care of some of them, and we don''t get into trouble with our orphans and widows. Later, my younger brother grew older. Although he was not very smart, he was more diligent. He had been doing well in ethnology. Who knows, it has become a mistake. "


    Leisurely a little puzzled, "isn''t it a good thing for you to make progress? What''s wrong with that? "


    Jiang Gongren shook his head and grinned bitterly, "the eldest grandson of my elder brother''s family is two years older than my younger brother. It''s just that his lessons have been mediocre, and my brother''s not long after he went there, he caught up with his lessons. My elder sister-in-law said that it was my brother Ke''s grandson who didn''t do well in his lessons because he was not well. She also talked about my brother''s fate in our family. Although we all know that this is just nonsense, it''s just that my sister-in-law''s family was so powerful at that time that people didn''t dare to offend her, so naturally they agreed that my brother was not good. Can those children not remember what their parents say? The children''s family is not proper, and soon my brother was beaten by his classmates in ethnology, bleeding in his seven orifices, and almost lost his life. "


    After listening to this, I pondered and said nothing. It seems that campus violence has a long history. These children are certainly exasperating, but it is the initiator who stirs up rumors behind that is the most hateful!


    Jiang Gongren stopped for a moment and then said, "later, I happened to meet my brother-in-law who went to work in Huizhou. After my brother got well, he simply followed my elder sister to study there. Later, I went to Jiangnan with my sister''s family. Last year, I won the entrance examination of Tongsheng, and I''m going to return to Beijing next year to get a scholar. "


    Leisurely asked, "since you have passed the entrance examination, why don''t you come back to the capital to study? First, it also saves the pain of running back and forth. Second, there are more learned people in the capital. If you can be lucky enough to be a great scholar, you will not be able to learn more, even those contacts are far inferior to those outside. " Jiang Gongren shook his head and sighed, "we know that, but there has been no way. Which one of the famous teachers and scholars in the capital is not full of talents? To be fair, my brother''s qualifications are only medium. When he comes back to the capital, he can''t get into those big academies. It''s better to stay in Huizhou. In the face of my brother-in-law, those gentlemen in the Academy will always make more efforts. "


    Hearing this, he said leisurely, "Huizhou is almost thousands of miles away from the capital. It''s hard to go back and forth like this. Even personal safety can''t be guaranteed. Well, the imperial court will close the pen soon. I''ll take a post to my wife later. After the new year, I''ll let my younger brother go to my mother''s house. Let my mother''s brother take the entrance examination. If he passes the test, my brother will recommend Mr. Jiang to study in Jinghe Academy. How about that? "


    Hearing the speech, Jiang Gongren kept on thanking him for several times, and then hesitated to say, "my brother''s literary talent is really not outstanding. Lord Lin is the number one scholar with both literary and military skills. Can you see him?"


    Leisurely smile look at her a "lady does not believe me?"


    One sentence made Jiang Gongren suddenly open up. Yes, Mrs. Shen has never been that kind of empty talker. If you are not sure, the other party will not open this mouth. Jiang Gongren, who had figured it out, was all in a daze. His good words came out one after another. He praised leisurely from head to foot, from the inside out, for countless times, but he was numb to praise leisurely


    When we returned to the flower hall for tea after visiting the house, we suddenly found that Jiang Gongren''s small eyes narrowed into a slit, and his mouth never closed. Only when someone asked, she took the words to support the past.


    Although they didn''t know what happened, they thought that Jiang Gongren and leisurely had been alone for a long time, and then they became like this. They all thought that Jiang Gongren must have benefited a lot from Mrs. Shen. On the one hand, they despised Jiang''s flattery in their hearts, and on the other hand, they followed suit.


    And leisurely while laughing at social intercourse, while shouting in the heart, can''t afford it!

 Chapter 389

    Fortunately, leisurely now has cultivated enough kungfu to Nourish Qi. No matter what others say, she just returns to the past with a faint smile and occasionally a few words of modesty.


    After another round of tea, everyone left one after another. Leisurely has already asked people to prepare a return gift for everyone. She asked the servant girl to give it to everyone one by one according to the sign. She said with a smile, "I''m not prepared well today. Please forgive me for the neglect. Everyone is busy next year, so I won''t go to everyone''s house to make a mess. I have some new ideas. Please take care of the housework. After a year''s wait, I''ll hold a banquet for you. "


    Leisurely gifts are not very precious. They are all fresh vegetables from our greenhouse and all kinds of fruits well preserved in the cellar. In such a cold winter, they are most rare. Whether it''s for their own banquets or for gifts from relatives, it''s something they''re very good at. When they saw it, they all felt it was ironed and left after thanking each other.


    After Jiang Gongren left the Shen family, he did not go back to his own home first, but went straight back to his mother''s home. Her mother, Jiang Anren, did not expect that her daughter would come at this time. She quickly got up and asked, "it''s almost dark now. How can this meeting come?"


    Jiang said with a smile, "there''s a good thing. Where''s my younger brother?"


    "Where else can the child go? I don''t like to go out. I''m reading in the library. " If you put it in an ordinary home, parents would like their son to work harder. However, when I came to Jiang Anren, I saw my son studying hard and self disciplined. I wish he could be more relaxed.


    Listen to the younger brother in the study, Jiang said, "I first go to see the younger brother, and then come and talk to my mother." It''s no use. I went straight to my study.


    When Jiang went in, his younger brother Jiang Qian was reading a book and was fascinated. He didn''t realize it until Jiang came up to him. Jiang Qian saw that the second elder sister came, so he quickly got up and said with a smile, "why did the second elder sister come suddenly? Please sit down


    Jiang shook his head and asked, "it''s been some days since I went back to Beijing. I saw you studying hard at home in zhenri. In this festival, I often see this literary club and that poetry club outside. Why don''t you go out? It''s not necessarily a bad thing to go out and walk occasionally and exchange views with classmates. "


    After listening to his sister''s advice, Jiang Qian answered with a smile, but he was a little disappointed. He has not been studying in the capital for a long time, and there is no intersection with the scholars here. Although some of the former students of Ethnology came to visit, Jiang Qian was very reluctant to deal with them. So I prefer to study hard at home.


    Seeing that my younger brother looked a little lonely, Jiang said with a smile, "Why are you frowning? Look what good things I have brought you. You must be very happy when you see them." Finish saying, then leisurely gave of card took out from sleeve.


    That post is exquisitely made. It looks like it is used by the female dependents. Although Jiang Qian had some doubts in his heart, he looked at the second elder sister''s cheerful appearance and reached for her. When he opened it, he could not help but stand up and asked excitedly, "this is a salutation for Lin Zhuangyuan?"


    Jiang responded with pride, "that''s nature." Jiang Qian turned around the room excitedly for several times. After he calmed down a little, he asked, "how could my sister have such a post. Who''s Shen''s family? "


    Jiang''s not angry white younger brother a look, "I told you several times, don''t blindly dead reading.". Didn''t I tell you last time? Your brother-in-law''s wife, Shen Tongling, is Lin Zhuangyuan''s elder sister. I''m going to Shen''s house to give you a new year''s gift today. Speaking of you, Mrs. Shen is very sympathetic when she hears about our sister and brother''s past experience. I also heard that you had to go to Jiangnan to study when you were young. I thought it was not easy for you, so I gave you this post. "


    Jiang Qian said happily, "Mrs. Shen is really good!"


    Although there was some suspicion in his heart, Jiang didn''t want to talk to his younger brother. Instead, he nodded and said, "of course, Mrs. Shen has always been kind-hearted. Mrs. Shen also said that this post only gives you an opportunity. If your knowledge can be appreciated by the number one scholar, he will recommend you to Jinghe Academy. If it''s true, then you don''t have to go to Jiangnan thousands of miles away. " Hearing the speech, Jiang Qian suddenly calmed down. "Lin Zhuangyuan is the youngest Zhuangyuan in the Dakang Dynasty. He is amazing and gorgeous. I''m not good enough. Can he see me? And the Jinghe academy, which has been famous in Beijing for a long time, naturally I admire it. It''s just that people with outstanding qualifications are the children of powerful families. Can I really go to study? "


    Different from his brother''s uncertainty, Jiang thought of leisurely words, but he had some confidence in his heart. Seeing his younger brother''s frustration, Jiang almost said it, but he changed it. "I didn''t even try. How could I be so dejected. How do you know that Lin Zhuangyuan doesn''t like you? In other words, even if Lin Zhuangyuan is not satisfied with your knowledge, it is a lifelong benefit for you to have the honor to visit Zhuangyuan Lang once and listen to others'' teaching. It''s a success. It''s a pleasure for everyone. No, it doesn''t hurt, does it? "


    Hearing his elder sister''s advice, Jiang qianfang said with a smile, "it''s still the second elder sister, but my younger brother has made a mistake." Then he got up and saluted respectfully, "thank you for your help." Although Jiang''s words are understated, Jiang Qian is a person who has passed the childhood test. The twists and turns of these interpersonal relationships can guess two points. For no reason, no matter how kind Mrs. Shen was, she would not be so enthusiastic about other people''s affairs. Sister, I don''t know how much effort it took!


    Seeing that his younger brother was so sensible at a young age, Jiang''s heart was a little relieved. Now she is looking forward to her brother''s early success. As long as her younger brother can win the exam, she will give him official status even if she gives up her private property! Those who have trampled their family under their feet will always regret and feel uneasy in the future.


    After seeing them off, leisurely just went back to the inner courtyard and put on his home clothes. I saw a post sent by the servant. It was actually sent by the second room, saying that she was invited to have tea in Qingya teahouse tomorrow.


    How could the second aunt invite herself out for tea at such a busy time? Leisurely in the mind some don''t understand, then to come to send the son-in-law of card to ask "tomorrow still have who go?"


    The woman respectfully replied, "if you go back to grandma Zeda, there is no one else, just our wife and the big girl. Our wife said, "I haven''t seen Miss Xi for a long time. If it''s cheap, I''d like to ask the eldest grandmother to take the girl with me, so that I can talk."


    Leisurely more puzzled, if you ask others to pour it all right, their own people need to run to the teahouse to drink tea? So she asked, "how did the second aunt remember to come out for tea? But what''s so extraordinary about this teahouse? "


    The old lady chuckled, "is there anything extraordinary? I don''t know. I just heard that there seems to be a gathering of literati in the teahouse tomorrow. The second master of our family is also going. My wife wants to take us to cheer for him. "


    After hearing this, yo Ruan has already understood that literati get together. I''m afraid it''s a pretext to cheer up. I''m afraid the second aunt is going to the son-in-law of the prime minister! When it comes to the Spring Festival, Shen Xiang will be nineteen, right? It''s a bit late if we don''t get engaged again.


    So leisurely then said with a smile, "well, I know. You go back and tell the second aunt that tomorrow I''ll take sister Xi with me. "


    In the evening, after Shen Ze came back, leisurely said Shen Xiang''s marriage first. Then he said with a smile, "I''ve done all the things you told me. I don''t know what''s in your mind. Baba''s going to woo his family?"

 Chapter 390

    Shen Ze said, "there is no practical purpose, but it''s just to show you a good idea in case of any unexpected need in the future."


    The future? Leisurely heart next move, and then a little surprised to ask "now even the canonization ceremony has not been passed, is it difficult to become the prince, his highness this meeting..." although did not continue to say, but it is obvious that Shen Ze has understood, he pacified the clap leisurely hand "you said, the prince has just been canonized, even the canonization ceremony has not been held, this meeting has not thought about these. Let''s just be villains first. "


    Then he told him, "you just have a bottom in your heart about these things. Don''t show your deeds outside. Don''t talk about them even with your wife''s family."


    Leisurely angry at him, "I''m so ignorant? Strictly speaking, it''s a big event to be beheaded. It''s too late for me to hide it. I''m going to yell around. "


    Shen Ze took her hand and said, "I said something wrong for my husband. Don''t blame me." With that, he reached out and patted the neck and shoulder.


    Seeing this, leisurely quickly asked, "what''s the matter here? I''ll see you rub it several times later. "


    Shen Ze said with a smile, "it''s nothing. Xu Shi is old. When he was practicing with those recruits this morning, he was a bit incompetent and twisted his tendons carelessly. He didn''t feel comfortable all day. I asked Shuanggui to wipe some wine, but it''s still not comfortable. "


    Leisurely quickly got up and turned behind him, "I''ll see." Then he stretched out his hand to pull Shen Ze''s collar, and saw that the place was still red and swollen. Some distressed people said, "it''s swollen a lot. You didn''t say it earlier. I''ll live with it!" While talking, he called for the maid to come with hot PAZI and Dieda medicinal liquor.


    After a while, something came in. Leisurely first with hot PAZI in the red and swollen place for a while, and then rub on a little wine, with hands repeatedly massage, so that the efficacy of a little faster. Then he covered it with a hot handkerchief, and repeated it several times. It took him a long time to finish.


    The house burned earthworm, originally warm as spring, leisurely busy this small meeting, the forehead even exuded sweat. Seeing his wife''s sweating, Shen Ze felt a little distressed. He quickly reached out and said, "well, I feel much more relaxed. Look at you, you are sweating. Please sit down and have a rest." As she spoke, she sat down beside her.


    Seeing this, the servant girls packed up their things with great eyes and retreated quietly. They didn''t forget to close the door when they left.


    The next morning, leisurely and early got up with Shen Ze. It''s cold in winter, so she usually wakes up naturally. This is the advantage of not having a mother-in-law. Anyway, Shen Ze''s breakfast is taken care of by a servant girl. It''s OK for her to get up so early. It''s better to stay in the warm quilt for a while.


    Shen Ze didn''t want her to get up so early. "Why don''t you sleep a little longer?"


    Leisurely said with a smile, "didn''t the second aunt ask me out for tea today? I''ll get up early so that I won''t be in a hurry. Do you feel better? Let me see! " Smell speech, Shen Ze sit back to bed, obediently let leisurely check.


    After a leisurely look, he said with a smile, "it''s much better. It''s not as swollen as yesterday. You are injured. Don''t go out to practice boxing this morning. I''ll give you another hot compress. I''ll get it when I come back in the evening. It''ll be ready tomorrow. " Then he asked for hot water and medicinal wine and gave Shen Ze a hot compress.


    This kind of hot compress, in fact, is a little painful, I''m afraid that ordinary people can''t bear such pain. However, Shen Ze has worked hard in the army for so many years, and his military achievements are also the result of actual combat. Naturally, this degree of pain is no exception. Although a little pain, but after hot compress is really comfortable.


    Just at this time, two small ones ran in. Kangtai will be seven years old after the new year. Although the etiquette at this time is a little more relaxed, it still pays attention to "different seats for men and women at the age of seven". Last year, leisurely has moved him to the next small cross courtyard to live, first exercise him, ready to wait for a year to officially move him outside. When the brother of Kangtai, although sometimes naughty, but talk and act has become more and more "elder brother" fan. Sometimes see the younger brother mischievous, but also face a serious preaching to the younger brother, so the little adult''s appearance often leisurely tease of can''t help but laugh.


    Strange to say, although Kangping used to make jokes with his mother, he listened to his brother very much. And no matter how fierce Kangtai was, even if he was scolded and cried, he would continue to stick to it soon after. He was a real "brother control". No, I just ran to my brother''s room to sleep last night.


    Because Kangtai is going to the government to study now, he always gets up early. When Kangping hears the news, he gets up with his brother. This time, he will come to see you again.


    Kangtai had a vague impression of what happened to him. After he led his younger brother in, he unexpectedly saw his parents sitting on the edge of the bed, looking very intimate


    Kangtai thought that he had seen something he shouldn''t have seen. He stepped back behind the screen and covered his younger brother''s eyes with one hand and his own with the other. He muttered, "Hello, father and mother." How big a child''s hands can be, it''s not so easy to cover a pair of eyes. Kangtai''s fingers were still wide open, and he said while secretly peeping through his fingers.


    That funny appearance only makes the couple laugh. Shen Ze says with a smile, "since you''re here, what''s the furtive appearance


    Kangtai''s methodical return to the road "sage words, do not look at unless courtesy.". If you have something to do with your parents, please be busy first. We''ll see you later. "


    Leisurely smile way "you just come over." See mother talk big square appearance, also see there are several servant girls in the house. Kang Tai Fang took his brother''s hand and walked over embarrassed.


    In front of him, he saw that Shen Ze''s shoulder and neck were red, and his eyes were red all of a sudden. "Dad, what''s the matter? Has anyone hit you? "


    Shen Ze intended to tease him, "what if someone bullies dad?"


    Kangtai quickly clenched his little fist and said with red eyes, "I''ll go and beat that man to avenge my father." Shen Ze shook his head with a smile.


    At this time, leisurely has already helped Shen Ze to heat up. Hearing this, leisurely interrupts and says, "OK, how old are you? Are you still teasing children?" Then touch the back of Kangtai''s head. "Good boy, don''t listen to your father. He''s teasing you. Your father did not fight with others because he twisted it carelessly yesterday. Your father always likes to reason with people and doesn''t like to fight. In the future, you and your brother should not fight with others in school. Do you hear me? "


    On one side, Shen Ze felt his nose a little uneasily. Yes, I can reason with him naturally, but those who can''t... There are always many accidents in this world!

 Chapter 391

    After listening to his mother''s words, Kangtai nodded, but Kangping didn''t understand a word, but he still followed his brother to a little head. Carefree touch the brothers'' heads, said with a smile, "wash your hands quickly, I will have dinner later."


    Although it''s past Laba, it''s reasonable to say that most people''s ethnology has stopped, but it happened that Enron''s master, Han Di Shi, returned to the capital for the Spring Festival and was invited to teach his ethnology for two days. Mr. Han, what kind of person is that? What we can''t even see is that the children are not sensible, and the parents all know that such opportunities are rare. Even if they are strong enough, they will send their children. Such a character, even remembering a word or two from others, is enough for these children to be taught all their lives.


    Kang Ping doesn''t need to be strong with his parents. Strictly speaking, Han Di Shi is his ancestor. He has seen him since he was a child, and Kang Ping has been taught by Han Di Shi. What''s more, he didn''t say it, but in his heart, he felt that his teacher''s lecture was more interesting than that of Mr. ethnology. Therefore, although Shizu''s class took up several days of annual leave, Kangping still ran there happily.


    With breakfast, Shen Ze and his eldest son go out to the Yamen and go to the Yamen school. Leisurely changed to see the guest''s clothes, let a person to call Shen Xi, ready to go out.


    Who knows Kangping is a good boy. As soon as he sees his mother changing her big clothes, he guesses that she is going to go out. He has to follow her.


    If you go to other places, leisurely must take him. But this time I went to the teahouse. What a quiet place? Take a child to go, cry to still don''t provoke of a circle of people side eye?


    Leisurely, Kangping didn''t listen to what he said. Looking at the boy''s rascal, he took a deep breath for several times without getting angry. She felt that she was on the verge of collapse. If she kept pestering, she would be angry.


    At this time, Yulian comes with taoliang. Jade lotus sees Kang Ping pout a small mouth to be very aggrieved of appearance, hurriedly pull him to oneself side, ask "Ping elder brother son this is how?"? This little pout can tie a buffalo


    Although Kang Ping could say something, he couldn''t say it when he was worried. He pointed to himself leisurely, then pointed to the outside, and then shed tears wrongly.


    Jade lotus hears a servant to say, today son leisurely want to go out, see this circumstance to all guess. She said to Kang Ping with a busy smile, "my mother has something to do. It''s no fun for you to go out to drink with her. I''m going to take your sister shopping in the street. Would you like to follow us to buy sugar balls and see New Year pictures? At noon, let''s go to grandma''s house and play with your cousins, OK


    Good food, fun and playmates of the same age are all temptations that children can''t refuse. In addition to leisurely and busy, Kangping has spent most of her time with Yulian. Kangping is also very close to her and taoliang. Therefore, this meeting did not hesitate to change to the embrace of Yulian.


    Leisurely seeing this, he was slightly relieved, and then asked, "do you want to go back to the Lin family?"


    The jade lotus nods a way "is exactly, younger siblings a few days ago isn''t some not quite comfortable?"? After taking the medicine I prepared, I said it had some effects, so I prepared some more. I''ll give my aunt a new year''s gift. I''ll give it to her by the way. "


    Smell speech, leisurely not without worry of ask "younger sister this is how to return a responsibility?"? Because it''s a private disease, I didn''t mean to ask in detail that time. She only said that it was a small day. What are the symptoms? "


    Yulian sighed, "it''s not a serious illness. It''s just that she accidentally caught a few drops of cold rain when she came to her last time. In addition, he was busy cleaning up his house and moving, and then met several festivals in mid autumn and Chongyang, so he didn''t take good care of himself. In December, the cold weather is not easy, and the new year''s Day is hectic. It''s not aggravating the disease. That day is really painful, can''t stand, she just let people ask me to go. You don''t see her like that. She''s pale and purple. Fortunately, I have a good foundation, and I can take care of myself in time. If I delay for another half a year, I''m afraid it will affect my children. "


    Leisurely said, "my sister-in-law is good everywhere, but sometimes it''s better. But I can''t say too much about my elder sister. I''ll talk about it with Enron Haosheng in a few days and let him take care of his daughter-in-law more. " After hearing this, Yulian said, "this is very true. It''s easy for the two of them to say anything when they close the door. It''s you. Don''t patronize others. I see you are tired these days. You see, your eyes are blue. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "I just got up early these days. If I didn''t sleep enough, I''d like to have a rest for two days. Since you want to go there, you can bring me a good one. In addition, I have some superior Guanyan and snow clams sent by others. You can bring some to my mother and sister-in-law, so that they can live and nourish. When you come back, I''ll give you some more. "


    Yulian shook her head and said with a smile, "the bird''s nest you gave me last time has not been finished. How can I eat so much? You can''t eat it all by yourself, so it''s hard to save it for a present. "


    Leisurely also didn''t insist, thinking that when the time comes, the person will send it directly.


    Seeing that they talked endlessly here, Kang Ping began to be reluctant again. Just then, Shen Xi changed his clothes and came over.


    Seeing this, Yulian was afraid that Kangping would cry when she saw leisurely go, so she coaxed him to go first. They walked not long, leisurely then took Shen Xi also to ride the carriage to leave the door.


    By the end of December, there were more carriages and pedestrians on the streets. It usually takes only a long journey, but it took less than half an hour to get there.


    Fortunately, the second wife had already arranged everything. When they got out of the carriage, a smart assistant led them to the elegant room on the second floor.


    When they got to Yajian, there were two girls in the room besides the second wife and Shen Xiang. Leisurely slightly a Leng, and then said with a smile, "we are late, please two aunts don''t blame." Then he bowed down.


    The second wife quickly reached for her arm and said, "why do we have to be so polite? We have just arrived. There are so many people in the lunar month that the carriage dare not run fast. A little later is better than some accidents. "


    After a moment''s blessing, Shen Xiang broke in with a smile and said, "I don''t know. When my mother was on the road, she was afraid that she would come late and make her wait. She was also afraid that she would run into a pedestrian in a hurry. It''s not easy for the driver to tell him to drive faster and to drive safely. "


    At this time, leisurely see the two girls behind the second wife, one is younger, wearing a lot of luxury obviously, the other is a little higher, looking at it quietly. The young girl was obviously a little upset. She tried to cut in several times, but she didn''t get in.


    The second wife was not angry and nodded her forehead. "You talk a lot, but you even set up your mother." Then he pulled Shen Xi''s hand and said, "look how quiet your sister is? Look at you again, how old you are, and how impatient you are


    Leisurely busy way "two aunts don''t want to say her, I quite like Xiang sister such temperament, how generous and refreshing? Usually, I don''t think sister Xi is too gentle and quiet. After that, if someone else''s family is aggrieved, wouldn''t it be more worrying to say that she can''t do it? "


    Then, leisurely, he looked at the two girls with a smile and asked, "who are these two girls

 Chapter 392

    Hearing leisurely''s inquiry, the second wife seemed to think of them. She patted her forehead and said with a smile, "look at my memory. I''ve been patronizing here, but I forgot their sisters. These two are my mother''s brothers'' two daughters. My eldest niece is Ke Xin, only one year younger than Xiang''er. Her name is Kezhen. She is the third in the family. She is the same age as Xi''s sister. She has a month''s birthday with Tong''s sister in the second aunt''s family. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it turned out to be the two cousins of the Zhou family. I used to say that our children are all outstanding. Now when I see their sisters, I really feel that there is a day beyond." You can see that although the dress of Miss Zhou is not as luxurious as that of the third girl, she also has some precious jewelry, which doesn''t look like a common woman can wear. For a moment, he was not sure about the identity of the other party, so he glanced at Shen Xiang. Shen Xiang was a good girl, and he understood it at a glance. He whispered a word in leisurely''s ear, and leisurely understood everything.


    Alas, what about the girl who lives in the stepmother''s hands and takes up the first two words? After all, we have to suffer a lot of grievances.


    She sighed in her heart. She took back a pair of Jasper Bracelets from her wrist and handed them over. "I didn''t expect to see a charming guest today, and I didn''t prepare a gift. These bracelets are OK. You sisters can play with them one by one."


    The two sisters took it together and said thank you. Then Shen Xi came forward to meet them again. They were all girls of the same age. No matter what happened inside, they lived outside for a short time and soon became familiar with them.


    This elegant teahouse is a famous gathering place of literati in Beijing. The first floor is a very spacious hall. A wall to the West was full of bookshelves and books. The north wall and the east wall are full of ink treasures left by various literati. Of course, the number of people who can get on the wall is a little famous. For example, the four character plaque of "Zhilan room" in the middle of the north wall is said to be the ink treasure of Emperor Han when he was young.


    On the second floor, there is a circle of elegant rooms around the hall on the first floor. Different from ordinary teahouses, the windows of these elegant rooms are facing inward, while the corridor is set outside the elegant room. That is to say, you can see the scene of the hall on the first floor from the window of the elegant room on the second floor.


    Most of the people gathered here today are the children of some official families, basically the students of Guozijian or Wenhua Academy. They wrapped up the whole teahouse early in the morning, so as not to let the others in. On the second floor, most of them are female elders. In fact, one of the purposes of such a gathering is to let mothers have a good look at the literary grace and etiquette of these students. If there is a girl in the picture, she will find a way to get someone to deliver a message.


    I don''t know when this custom began. Up to now, it has become a tacit understanding.


    As soon as the room was settled, they heard three gongs beating downstairs without waiting for a sip of tea, which meant that the poetry festival officially began.


    At the beginning of the poetry festival, several young girls couldn''t sit still and gathered at the window to watch the bustle downstairs.


    Seeing that they were far away from them, leisurely asked in a low voice, "I heard my eldest aunt say a few days ago, isn''t the second aunt the son of peace and the wife of Xibo mansion very close? Why are you here again today? "


    The second wife waved her hand. "Don''t mention it, I was in love with the third of their family. The daughter-in-law of the young son doesn''t need to be a director of the family, so it''s easy to get married. The third member of his family is also quite polite and has a good appearance. I mentioned it. I thought that he was at least the direct grandson of Bo''s family. He might not be able to see the origin of Xiang''s sister. I didn''t expect that lady Shizi was very happy. I thought it was because of the dignity of the princess. Later, the elder sister-in-law inquired and found out that the old man was a good girl. There was no beautiful girl in the room, but there were two pretty boys beside him. Moreover, I also heard that this man and several princes of the Duke''s family were not clear about it. I won''t let Xiang''s sister go to this muddy water, no matter whether it''s from an empty hole or not. "


    Leisurely nodded and said, "yes, although it is inevitable that some villains in this world like to chew their tongue, there is no wind but no fire. Even if the third young master didn''t do anything bad, he must have done something inappropriate. Otherwise, he would not have said such words. Fortunately, there are plenty of talented young people, and the second aunt doesn''t have to worry too much. Take your time. Maybe you''ll find someone you like today. " The second wife said in a low voice: "although there is a princess in our family, and some high-ranking families are stretching out olive branches, but I don''t want to let Xiang''s sister marry into such a family. Besides, your second uncle is a commoner. I didn''t know how much unfair treatment he received before he lost his fame. He didn''t have a good impression on these people. He told me not to marry them. Nowadays, there are few excellent children in this noble family. The only outstanding ones are either too prominent in our family, we can''t keep up, or we get married early. Now there''s no way. Just look for a good child in the family of a similar official. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "second uncle is now the capital official of the fifth grade. It''s not too small. Second aunt is modest."


    The second wife shook her head with a smile. "Isn''t it the Duke who is willing to take care of you that makes your second uncle what he is today? Otherwise, with his wooden head, it would be nice to be able to boil to six grades. However, we also know that your second uncle will not be able to become an official from the fourth grade at most. Fortunately, our family still has some family background. The dowry of Xiang''s sister is no worse than that of the second daughter of the Duke''s family. Therefore, regardless of the other party''s family background, as long as the character is good and the knowledge is good, I am willing to


    At this time, there was a thunderous applause downstairs. They looked at each other, and the second wife said with a smile, "go, let''s go and have a look."


    When the girls saw that they were coming, they quickly made room for them to pass. In the hall on the first floor, a group of people were surrounded by compliments from a young scholar. The second wife asked with a smile, "who is this?" Shen Xiang replied lazily, "I don''t know. It''s just a clever pair. Is it necessary to be so arrogant?"


    Seeing that her tone was not very good, she asked with a smile, "what''s the matter with sister Xiang? You don''t seem very happy? "


    Shen Xi pointed to another young man in the field with a smile and said, "sister Xiang always thought that the student could win. Who knows, he lost in the end."


    Shen Xiang scornfully looked at the student who was sought after by the public, and coldly said, "if you really succeed, you will be rampant, but you are lucky enough to win a game, so make it public. Look at that young master. No matter whether he wins or loses, he always looks steady and gentle. That''s what a modest young master should look like. "


    The second wife covered her mouth and said, "OK, although the situation here is special, it''s not good for you to talk about a foreigner like this." Then he took a look at the student, but he really felt that the other side had a good bearing. He could not help frowning, "our family has little contact with these literati families. I don''t know any of them. Come and have a look, can you recognize them?"

 Chapter 393

    Well, this must be the reason why the second wife asked leisurely to come here. At least leisurely has a brother who is the number one scholar. He has some contacts with these civil servants. He can''t recognize some of them.


    Although Shen Xiang''s brother is downstairs, it''s not good to call him up in full view of the public. It''s too revealing.


    Leisurely along the direction of the second wife''s fingers, he immediately said with a smile, "if I don''t know someone else, I do know this person."


    The second wife asked, "whose son is this?"


    Leisurely he said, "this is a nephew of my adoptive father. He is also a close disciple of Han imperial master. His name is Han Zeng. I''ve seen him several times because he, his husband and his mother''s brothers are all martial brothers. "


    Seeing her daughter''s eyes suddenly shining, the second wife sighed and asked, "don''t ask any more about Han Di Shi''s disciples. I just don''t know if he''s married? "


    Leisurely shook his head and said, "no, this child is not very lucky. The year before he was a scholar, he was only 15 years old. He was really a young talent. Originally, he was preparing to go to kaoju next year. Unexpectedly, his grandfather was overjoyed when he heard of the news of his middle school scholar. He was lost by a mouthful of phlegm and went there. He is the bearing grandson of his family. Naturally, he has to be filial for three years. Last year, it''s so easy to be filial at home, but also to be filial at home. This is not true. It''s been delayed until now. I met his mother in my adoptive mother''s home and said that I was going to take the exam next year. After more than four years of filial piety, even the imperial examination was delayed, let alone marriage? That time, his mother asked me to keep an eye on the girls of the right age. "


    On hearing this, Shen Xiang''s face turned red. Naturally, the second wife saw what was on her daughter''s mind, so she had to speak for her daughter and said, "I see this child is really outstanding, but I don''t know what''s going on in his family." My daughter can have a fever. She has to be calm.


    "Han Shidi''s grandfather and father are all from a family background, and his grandfather became an official when he became a county magistrate. His father didn''t donate to the government. After failing in the imperial examination several times, he was in charge of the family''s elementary education. My family is not very rich. I have saved it for several generations. There are thousands of acres of good farmland and some woodlands in the suburbs of Beijing. It seems that there are several shops in Beijing. In a word, it is enough to live normally. Another advantage is that younger martial brother Han has only one sister and a couple of concubines. In this way, his family property will be limited in the future. "


    The second wife has heard of the Han family''s Ethnology. It''s a place full of talents. How many foreign surnames do you think hard to send the children in? Since Mr. Han can master the Han family''s elementary education, all kinds of gray filial piety must be indispensable. Although the family background is a little thinner than his family, Han Zeng''s child looks really good.


    The second wife saw from the window that several familiar ladies turned their eyes to the students on the first floor. She knew that a young man as outstanding as Han Zeng would not have been delayed until now if it had not been for his filial piety. For fear of being taken the lead, the second wife said impolitely, "I won''t be polite to you as a family, and the Han family is half of your family. Your sister''s life depends on you."


    It''s hard to refuse that she was driven to the shelves. Shen Xiang grew up with her. This meeting looked at Shen Xiang''s small eyes, and had to say, "it''s just time for me to go and greet my adoptive mother. I''ll leave soon if I''m not late. It''s just that I''m not sure it will work out. "


    The second wife clapped her hand. "Look what you said, since the matchmaker is just pulling the strings, you can rest assured that I will give you a big red envelope. If it doesn''t work out, it means that their two children have no fate. Who will blame you?"


    Finish saying, leisurely then hurried away, look at the sky, leisurely heart sigh, this hour just to go there, also don''t know can rub morning meal?


    Fortunately, leisurely was lucky. When she arrived at Han''s house, Meng had not eaten yet. Seeing her coming, Meng said with a smile, "I''m just saying it''s boring to eat alone, so you''re here. It''s just that there''s silver carp from the North today. It''s the freshest and most delicious time. I''ll let them fix one. Let''s have a taste. " Then he told the servant girl to go to the kitchen to send a message. Leisurely smile way "ganniang small kitchen craft is the most outstanding, this time did not come, daughter heart has been talking about it."


    Meng''s not angry white she a look, "OK, I''m afraid this small kitchen technology is not worth when you think about it. In such a busy season, there must be something wrong with you coming here. We women are not outsiders. Don''t put on airs for me there. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "you can''t hide anything from ganniang. In fact, it''s not a big deal. Isn''t there a student club in Qingya teahouse today? Our two aunts have a crush on younger martial brother Han Zeng here. They can''t wait for the end of the conference, so they rush to drive me over for fear that someone else will take the lead. "


    Meng was surprised. "Are you talking about sister Xiang? They are quite old. It''s just that Xiang''s sister was brought up by your great aunt. Now she is the only cousin of the crown princess. Her status is not delicate. This Zeng Ge''er''s family is not a famous family. Can your two aunts match his family


    Smell speech, leisurely and hastily return a way "my two aunts only this a di daughter, nature also is to ache her.". Those princes with outstanding children may not look up to the origin of Xiang girls. Instead of going to the declining xungui''s home, it''s better to find a family with a clean family, and it''s only reasonable for her daughter to live well in the future. Moreover, I see that the second aunt''s family also intended to avoid the rich families in Beijing. "


    Meng thought for a moment, nodded and said, "since you were young, your second uncle was a man with a simple face and a clear heart, or he could not have today''s fate. Well, you are not familiar with Zeng Ge''er''s mother. I''ll take care of it. If it doesn''t work, I''ll get back to you as soon as possible. "


    After talking about this, leisurely heart will put down a stone, horizontal and vertical this red line, she has been led, can be, depends on them.


    Things are developing faster than leisurely expected. Three days later, she received a post written by her second wife, asking her to attend Shen Xiang''s wending ceremony on the 26th day.


    This speed is really fast! After the Spring Festival, most of the Yamen are locked, and Shen Ze doesn''t have to go to the Yamen every day.


    So on the 26th day, the couple took Shen Xi and their two sons to the second room.


    Here, leisurely not unexpected met Xu Shen, after all, she is Shen Xiang''s aunt, such a day can not come. Since the accident that Miss Xu made a few years ago, leisurely has been much colder to this cheap aunt''s family. Leisurely and not silly, the second aunt''s family has no male master, a common woman again heart big, the legitimate mother wants to subdue is just a matter of words. But the second aunt obviously indulged the common girl, which made leisurely feel very angry.


    In addition to the occasional encounter in the government and Shen Xiang''s home, they seldom met at leisure. Even if we send festival gifts, we usually send our servants to send them. Anyway, leisurely doesn''t want to have too much contact with this aunt.


    Even Han''s, after thinking about it clearly, is a little indifferent to Xu Shen''s. you, a concubine''s aunt who is separated by several rooms, actually hit your nephew''s attention. It''s really asking for trouble!


    Shen now also some secretly regret, at the beginning in the end Meng Lang some, now also want to try to save. However, leisurely obviously didn''t pay much for her. After a little greeting, he went to talk about home affairs with the second wife.

 Chapter 394

    Leisurely smile to the second wife said, "two aunts action is really fast, before I was scared, never thought things so smooth."


    The second wife replied, "they are all children who know the root and the bottom of the earth, and their elder sister-in-law and your adoptive mother make peace with each other. Isn''t that right? I''d like to thank you for your help in this matter. You''ll have to drink more later. "


    Leisurely smile said, "two aunts rest assured, since sister Xiang''s wedding wine, it is not for this, I also want to drink a few more cups."


    After a while, Han''s maid came with her. The second wife hurriedly welcomed her to the second gate. "I thought that my sister-in-law would have a lot to do at the end of the year. She just wanted to send Xiaoding away. If she didn''t have time, she didn''t have to come."


    Han said with a smile, "how can that be? If you don''t say that Xiang sister grew up beside me, she just didn''t grow up in front of me. You and your second younger brother share such a legitimate daughter. Can I come to such a day? " Does that mean that the concubine''s words will not come? Anyway, the second wife was very pleased to hear this. Fortunately, the concubines of the second room were not in front of them. If they didn''t listen to this, they would have to vomit to death?


    Then, Han''s smile to Shen Xi to his side, to leisurely said, "Xi sister-in-law after 16 years, although the girl stay at home for a few years, you this when sister-in-law should also pay attention to."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "isn''t it? I paid attention to it early in the morning, but I''m not too old or too young. I don''t have much chance to meet a foreigner when I''m a guest. I can''t compare with my great aunt, who has a lot of knowledge and a little sister''s marriage. I have to ask my great aunt to help me. "


    Han''s funny point her forehead, "you, used to be lazy, actually find so many reasons. I used to be far away, but now I''m close. I don''t have time to be filial to me. What kind of good children can''t see? " Everyone was happy with what he said.


    Leisurely took a look at the Liu and Wang who followed the Korean style, and said with a smile, "my aunt is not filial without a daughter-in-law. Why tease me like this?"


    Wang said hastily, "my wife always praises my sister-in-law for her good behavior at home. We know that she is not as bad as my sister-in-law. It must be her wife who looks down on us and wants to take my sister-in-law home."


    Liu said, "in this case, please don''t go to our house. Our sister-in-law was clumsy, and sister-in-law Ze went several times, which made us useless. So I said that sister-in-law Ze had better go less. Go, we just good wine and good food for, just don''t let her to his wife filial piety. In this way, we will not show our clumsiness. "


    The sister-in-law only coaxed Han and all the people present into laughter.


    While everyone was joking, Fang Xinsu came with his servants. For a moment, all the people are in a hurry to go out to pick up, but only Han is still sitting on the seat, Wen Feng does not move. Not to mention that the second wife herself was overjoyed, even Mrs. Xu Shen and Mrs. Zhou, the second wife''s mother-in-law, were also quite radiant. This is the legendary princess of the county. How many times can they see it in their life?


    After a while, the news spread to Shen Xiang''s yard. Today is a good day for her, so several girls from her relatives gathered in her room to talk. This will hear the news that Fang Xinsu has come over. It''s just a few girls of the Shen family. The second girl of the Xu family has also met the cousin of the princess, and she is still calm. Only a few girls from the Zhou family, especially on Tuesday, wanted to see the princess. But seeing that no one else wanted to get up, she had to say to herself, "since it''s the princess, don''t we have to go out to meet her?"


    Shen Xiang sneered in his heart. It''s just that it''s not a good day to talk a lot. Then he looked at Shen Xi with a smile. Shen Xi said with a light smile, "no, my cousin came here to congratulate my cousin. Since I''m at home, I don''t have so many scruples. We have to go out when we have a gift. I''ll see you then. "


    On Tuesday, I heard that I still had a chance to see Fang Xinsu, but I didn''t get entangled any more. In the hall, people gathered around and gave Fang Xinsu a seat. She was not polite either. She just sat down at the bottom of Han''s seat, and then the second wife and others.


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "congratulations to the second aunt. The eldest cousin has become a relative. Now sister Xiang has ordered another one. The rest of the second cousin is still young. The second aunt has been able to be light for several years."


    The second wife replied with a smile, "isn''t it? In the past two years, I''ve broken my heart for the sake of their brother and sister''s marriage. I''m just a poop. I''ve been married, and I''ll see you every day after I get married. Not to marry a daughter, but to worry about this and that, for fear that a bad delay her life. But it''s not too late for a good marriage. If it hadn''t been delayed for the past two years, maybe we wouldn''t have met Zeng Ge''er. "


    Fang Xinsu replied, "isn''t that right? The Han family is a century old family. It has been well-known since the previous dynasty, and its style of tutoring is also very popular in the capital. It''s said that sister Xiang''s son-in-law is still a student of the Han imperial master, so there''s no need to say more about his character, talent and appearance. With her aunt''s face there again, sister Xiang doesn''t have to worry about being wronged when she gets married. It''s really a good marriage. "


    The words coaxed the two wives to smile and bow.


    Han''s smile broke in and said, "OK, Xiang''s marriage is first-class. This wise man can see it, so you don''t have to repeat it here. But what about Jane''s marriage? Do you have a clue? "


    Hearing this, Fang Xinsu sighed, "not yet? Don''t mention brother Jane. I don''t even have one to look at, let alone him. Although master kongdao said the year before last that he was destined to marry later, he saw that he would be twenty-three years later. If he didn''t marry again, he would be very late. "


    Han also followed with a sigh, his nephew in marriage is not smooth. How many children is Miss Kong? It''s a pity that you have a bad life. In terms of his qualifications and family status, those first-class families may not look down on him. But in the end, through the front of this girl Kong, although she was married in secret, she entered the gate according to the original specifications. No matter how the back was, she was also a stepmother. When it came to sacrifice, she had to hold the concubine''s ceremony! Who would be willing to teach their own hard out of the legitimate daughter to others do steproom? Those second-class families, needless to say, always have a poor outlook on children''s education. If Fang Xinsu is really outstanding, she can''t see it for a moment. Can she be a good aunt?


    At this point, she can only comfort, "don''t worry, we just slowly search, can always find good."


    The second wife also said, "don''t worry, madam. Uncle Fang is very talented. She is sure to have a wonderful marriage."


    Fang Xinsu replied, "OK, now I don''t ask for so much. The second aunt also helps me pay attention to the girls I''ve met when I''m free. Regardless of the family background, as long as the girl''s own character is outstanding and she acts generously, it doesn''t matter if the family is a little worse. "


    Just after saying this, there was a loud noise outside. It seemed that the Han family had come. Han and Fang didn''t get up. Others, including Youran, went out with the second wife to meet the Han family.

 Chapter 395

    Mrs. Han is a gentle and elegant woman. Although she is over forty, she looks like she is in her early thirties. It is full of scholarly atmosphere that is revealed between actions, words and behaviors, which makes people feel comfortable when they see it.


    Just now I saw Fang Xinsu''s instrument driver outside the gate. Lu was quite surprised. She had thought that her daughter-in-law was a commoner, so she might not have a high position in the Shen family. Now it''s just wending, and all the princesses of Yijie county come to watch the ceremony in person. It seems that she is still more popular in the Shen family. Although Lu is not aiming at the daughter-in-law in the background, if the other party has these things, she is naturally happy to see it.


    In sum, Han is Lu''s eldest sister-in-law. They have known each other for decades, so they are not unfamiliar. Lu was able to agree to the marriage all at once because Shen Xiang grew up with Han and followed him back to his mother''s home to visit his relatives. Lu Shi met Shen Xiang many times and had a good impression on her. Therefore, Meng Shi almost agreed to her as soon as she mentioned it. He also went home and learned a lot of good words in front of her husband, so the marriage went on so smoothly.


    With Han''s mediation, the atmosphere is not embarrassed at all. The second wife first asked people to call out the other girls to meet Han and Lu.


    These girls have all met Han, so she has nothing to say. But Fang Xinsu and Lu Shi are new to each other. They both have a valuable status and a seniority. They have to be presented with a gift. Fang Xinsu just said a few words on the scene, but Lu Shi looked at this and that, and praised it. He said with a smile, "I''ve seen quite a few girls in the past. I''ve seen some neat children, but there are few outstanding girls like Qi Shushu''s Ju Du."


    Then he took Shen Xi''s hand and said, "is this the eldest girl of commander Shen''s family? It''s even more elegant. I think it has the character of an old lady. " The old lady here is an''s mother, who died early. An''s family is the daughter of the government. Her grandmother is a princess of the royal family. After she got married, she is also the first-class lady of the state. Even Han''s family can''t compare her status. She can be said to be the most noble person in the Shen family for three generations. Lu said this with a kind of flattery.


    After chatting for a while, it was time for some young wives to help Shen Xiang out. Shen Xiang today wore a group of pomegranate red embroidered Begonia flowers. She was thin with pink and black, and her face looked like hibiscus, which attracted people''s praise.


    Wending ceremony is nothing more than gold and silver jewelry, clothing cloth, tea and fruit snacks and so on. Although Han Zeng''s family is not as rich as Shen Xi''s, Wen Dingli has also made great efforts. Besides two sets of exquisite and valuable gold and silver jewelry, there are also two boxes full of small pieces of jewelry. The rest of the silks and satins are also high-class goods, which is extremely rare for Han Zeng''s family.


    The ceremony went smoothly. Lu personally inserted a phoenix shaped gold hairpin with red treasure into Shen Xiang''s hair. Shen Xiang presented several kinds of needlework he had made. The ceremony was a great success.


    Everyone was in admiration, but Mrs. Zhou murmured in a low voice, "that gold hairpin looks at the yellow one, but it doesn''t look like it''s made now." This heterophony mingled in a congratulatory victory, it is particularly abrupt, actually caused people a Leng.


    Leisurely would like to take a look at Mrs. Zhou''s head. Is there water in it? Are all the people present blind? Who can''t see that the hairpin''s style is not new? However, since they have brought it out in such a solemn way, they naturally have their own opinions, that is, they have no opinions. As long as they don''t intend to give up their marriage, they should turn a blind eye to it. Why did Mrs. Zhou come to such a show?


    Shen Xiang in the end young, listen to this straight gas silver teeth dark bite, in the end take into account the occasion did not attack. Even the second wife was not angry. Fortunately, Lu had been prepared for this, and he was not embarrassed. He just took Shen Xiang''s hand and said to the second wife, "mother in law, don''t worry. It''s too late for me to treat such a good child badly. Although the hairpin looks old, it was put on by my mother-in-law at the beginning of Xiaoding. It is said that it has been passed on to my eldest daughter-in-law for four or five generations. Now I give it to my sister Xiang. Naturally, I hope she can help me pass on this hairpin for a long time in the future. "


    Han then said, "I remember this hairpin was handed down from our ancestors. It''s the same style my sister-in-law used to wear in Xiaoding. The style is old, but it''s a good thing. You see, although the red treasure on it is not very big, how even and pure is the color? How red is it? Nowadays, it''s hard to find such gems. Xiang''s sister needs to put them away. Don''t take it seriously because of its old style. " Shen Xiang bowed down, but Mrs. Zhou''s face turned red. After the hairpin was inserted, there would be no Shen Xiang''s business here. Liu''s and other young wives sent her back to their own yard, and even the other girls packed and took her with them.


    Here, the second wife ordered the servants to prepare the dinner. Han whispered to Lu about the family routine. People from beginning to end did not pay attention to the insolent aunt Zhou, such a disregard for ordinary people may have long been unbearable. This Mrs. Zhou is also a strange person. She even sticks to it. After a while, she takes Xu Shen''s family to talk about her family.


    Leisurely can''t help but look at her there, but listen to Fang Xinsu called her, she hurriedly back to ask "what''s the matter?"


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "what''s the matter? What are you looking at? Looking silly? What''s the matter, sister Xiang? What''s the difference between your aunt and the white lady who lived in your house? "


    Leisurely angry with her, "you are the most narrow! However, there are some similarities between them. " Fang Xinsu beat her and said, "what about me? You are the most narrow-minded person in my heart. It''s just that I don''t look like I''m talking about everything outside. I''m just complaining in my heart, but I look like I''m quiet and steady. In fact, who doesn''t know who? " Then he hummed softly.


    Seeing her haughty appearance, leisurely only felt lovely, and could not help teasing her, "who is not hiding half of her words outside? Do you think they''re all like you? "


    Fang Xinsu said, "what''s wrong with me? How comfortable am I? There are few people who dare to look me in the eye. " Then he came closer to her and asked in a low voice, "have you ever seen Xiang''s fiance? It''s said that he looks like a jade tree facing the wind. Is it true or not? "


    Leisurely said with a smile, joking, "before the wind, you can at most see, is there any other idea?"


    After hearing this, Fang Xinsu was so angry that he wanted to beat her, but it was not good at all. The movement was too loud, so he had to say in a low voice, "it''s time for others to look at your face. What''s the mess in your mind?" Fortunately, knowing that she was joking, she didn''t really get angry.


    Leisurely saw that she was a little shy and annoyed. She quickly laughed and said no. Fang Xinsu was still proud and charming. With a turn of her eyes, she ran to Han''s side and whispered a few words.


    Han''s smile a little bit leisurely forehead, and looked at the side of Fang Xinsu. Fang said with a smile, "today is a happy day for Zeng Ge''er and Xiang jie''er. We''ve all met the bride, but why hasn''t the bridegroom come? Although there is no need for him to show up here, since he is here, he has to come and ask for an encore. He''s older than his elders and sister-in-law here. When we meet again, we won''t know each other. Isn''t it a joke? "


    Lu said with a smile, "I thought there were many young women in the back, so I didn''t let him come here rashly."


    Han said with a smile, "what''s the point? All the girls have gone to the yard. We old things are here. What''s to be afraid of? Let''s get someone to come So a servant girl went to the front and invited Han Zeng over.


    Although all the girls went out, all the servant girls in the room were in the mood for love. When Han Zeng came in, he looked around and saw several young women in the room and some green and tender maids. He quickly lowered his eyebrows and didn''t dare to look directly at them, so he went straight to the crowd and asked them to say hello.


    Han is not only his aunt, but also his aunt here. Naturally, he had to be involved and introduced him one by one.


    Seeing that his face turned red, the second wife felt sorry for her son-in-law and said, "it''s going to be a long time. I can''t recognize him for a while. Is it going to be dinner soon? Today, your cousins are all here. Go and accompany them. " After Han Zeng left, he joked, "it''s still the second aunt who loves her son-in-law. It''s not so bad, so she sent the man away. Mrs. Han has not spoken yet. "


    The second wife was not ambiguous, and said with a smile, "my mother-in-law is here to be a guest. Even if I love my son, I''m sorry to say so. The new son-in-law is thin skinned. Your daughters-in-law are more and more fierce one by one. If I don''t let him out soon, I''m afraid you''ll break his face. "


    Leisurely made a look of grievance, took Liu''s hands and said, "two younger sisters, look, we''ve only been married for a few years now, and we''ve become shreds in the second aunt''s mouth. If you have a son-in-law, you won''t need our daughter-in-law. "


    The eldest daughter-in-law of the second wife was only married this year. She has been married for less than half a year. She is still a little constrained on such occasions. She just laughs and says nothing. Other people know that they are making a joke, and they just watch them "acting" quietly.


    But Liu has always been clever, with the lament, "is not it? Second aunt is really tearing down the bridge. Do you need us when sister Xiang gets married? "


    Wang also echoed: "Alas, the second aunt has her own daughter-in-law and a new son-in-law. It''s no longer the meeting when the younger brother in the lobby didn''t get married. I see, this is about to open, the second aunt must love those food and wine, so try to run us, so that we can go away


    Liu nodded. "The third sister-in-law is right. The second aunt must have made such an idea. Just, we can''t be so cheap. She wants us to go on an empty stomach. We still have to stay and eat this table Wang also nodded.


    It was a leisurely sigh, "if you want me to say, we''d better follow the second aunt''s wish and leave quickly. If you really stay, you will lose a lot! "


    Wang asked, "how can I lose so much?"

 Chapter 396

    After listening to Wang''s words, he said with a leisurely smile, "do you think that if we leave, we will fall out with the second aunt? After that, we can''t help but save money as well as hard work. How about having the best of both worlds? "


    Liu Wang and Wang looked at each other and said in unison, "it''s still my sister-in-law''s thoughtfulness. Let''s go." Say, want to get up.


    The second wife quickly stretched out her hand to stop her, feigned anger and said, "that can''t be done. It can''t be so cheap. You have to leave the makeup of girl Xiang to go." Say, oneself palm not live to smile first, slant a careless smile fork gas, unexpectedly cough.


    Leisurely hurried forward, while helping her with her anger, she said with a smile, "second aunt doesn''t have to be so worried, daughter-in-law is joking with you. The things for sister Xiang have been prepared long ago. No matter you are in charge of the meal, we will come to add makeup at that time." Second wife just a little, heard this, directly angry beat her, "really should be your own words, is a rash broken settled, but also your sister-in-law are bad." Then he laughed again.


    The master and servant girls in the room were all laughing. Fang Xinsu took the fan in his hand and patted it on leisurely shoulder. "What did I say? No one among us can match you in terms of narrow mindedness. "


    Han also laughs, but points to leisurely and says to Lu, "this child has always been a steady one. Today, I''m worried that her second aunt will marry her daughter. I''ll try my best to make her aunt happy. Don''t let her be a madman."


    Lu said with a quick smile, "these young daughters in law are so lively and interesting, which shows that the elder is generous and the sister-in-law is kind enough to play such a joke. As a matter of fact, it''s the right way to talk and laugh in our family that makes us lively and friendly. "


    As soon as she finished, she saw leisurely come over and said to Han with a smile, "my great aunt knows what I''m thinking."


    Han''s smile white her one eye "you that careful thought, concealed other people also can conceal me to go?"


    With a leisurely smile, he said, "of course, I can''t hide it. I''m just like monkey sun. I can''t turn over the palm of your hand." The people who said it laughed again.


    If Han does not say, others did not think leisurely pull this all have no, there is its original mind in it. The second wife looked at her stupefied daughter-in-law. She sighed in her heart. Although she was very filial on weekdays, her mind turned slowly. When she looked at the daughter-in-law of zege, she was just a little reluctant to give up when her in-law put on Xiang''s sister-in-law, and they saw it. No wonder my sister-in-law has been so close to her all the time. Even my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law may not be so intimate, right?


    The second wife sighed and called the people to dinner. After lunch, seeing off all the people of the Han family, Xiaoding is a complete success.


    After all, every family has its own business to do. But Shen Xiang insisted that Shen Xi stay here for two days, and the second wife also said, "let sister Xi stay here for two days, so that no one can talk to her and she will be alone." On one side, Mrs. Zhou is very angry when she hears that you don''t pay attention to your daughter. But your niece is here. How can sister Xiang be alone? In fact, the second wife didn''t mean that. The two nieces came late in the end. Shen Xiang and Shen Xi are not as intimate as each other. I think her daughter must have something intimate to say to Shen Xi.


    Although Shen Xi was in charge of some rituals at home, he thought that Shen Xiang''s marriage had been decided, and the day of marriage was not far away. In the future, there were not many days for the two sisters to have a heart to heart talk together, so they simply agreed.


    It''s just that Zhu you, Shen Xi''s big servant girl, went back to Shen''s house leisurely and collected some personal things for Shen Xi.


    Before zhuyou left, leisurely specially called her to him and said, "you go there and tell the big girl that the time for Miss Xiang to stay at home is limited. Let her bear more burden and don''t conflict with her sister. In addition, there are several common girls in the second room and several girls in the Zhou family. When there are more girls, there will inevitably be some quarrels and tell the older girl that although we don''t cause trouble, we are not afraid of it. If there are those who don''t want to face, don''t be too weak. " Then he said, "the big girl is thin skinned. If she is not good at speaking some words, you should learn to share your worries with the master." Bamboo you immediately respectfully promise down.


    Then leisurely asked people to bring two wallets: "here are some scattered gold and silver. Take them to your girl and let her keep them for reward."


    After Zhu you left, Gan Song said with a smile, "grandma is so heartless. Today she''s twenty-six. At most, the big girl will come back after living there for two or three days. Can she stay there for the new year? Look, what about grandma? On weekdays, big girls sometimes go out and stay all day. Why don''t you see grandma talking like this? "


    Leisurely sighed, "in the past, Xi''s friends were mostly girls from relatives'' families and schoolmates from girls'' schools. After all, they were all children who knew etiquette. Look at the girls in the Zhou family. Apart from the girl in the Zhou family, the others are more and more frivolous. How sister Xi has seen such a battle before? I''m afraid to frighten her. "


    Gan song comforted him and said, "although the big girl always reports good news but not bad news, what kind of girl in the female school has no temperament? Maybe the big girl has been used to it for a long time. Besides, I''ve never seen one like this before. In the mansion over there, Miss Xiang and the second wife look at it in person. Who dares to wink at our big girl? "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "you know better than I do."


    Gan Song said hastily, "grandma, it''s not that she doesn''t understand, it''s that caring makes her confused. You can rest assured that in two days, our eldest girl will surely come back. "


    Care is chaos? Isn''t it? Since she got married, she has been with her, and every day she has to see at least the last speaker. What''s the difference between having a daughter after all these years?


    But he said that after zhuyou had packed up his things, he took them to Shen Xiang''s house by car. When she came to the second door with her servants carrying things, she met Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou heard that her son was drunk at noon. She just went to the front yard to see him. I was about to go to the inner courtyard to see my daughter again when I met with Zhu you.


    Zhu you stopped to say hello. Mrs. Zhou waved her hand and asked with a smile, "aren''t you the maid beside Miss Xi? Where did you go and how did you get these things? "


    Mrs. Zhou saw that there were six or seven servant girls behind Zhu you. Two of them were carrying a large wooden box, and the others were carrying bags and baskets.


    Zhu you said with a smile, "my uncle and wife have a good memory, but I remember my maidservant when I see her. Isn''t our girl going to stay here for two days? I went home and picked up some household belongings for the girl


    Mrs. Zhou pointed to the things in their hands and asked, "are these all from your girls?"


    Of course, there are also some clothes of their servant girls. It''s just the end of the story. Zhu you remembers the master''s orders and intends to make a big name for her. He laughs and says, "yes, it''s going to be new year''s day soon. Our girls will stay for one or two nights, so we''ve just packed up such an idea. Let''s make do with it. It''s not far from here. If you want something, just go home and get it. "

 Chapter 397

    After listening to Zhu you''s words, Mrs. Zhou immediately felt that she was in a panic. She would take these things with her for a night or two, but she would just make do with them?


    Look at the big and small bags in their hands. Even Zhu you is carrying a small one. Mrs. Zhou lived here for a few days and knew that the big servant girl in the family would not do it by herself. It''s not a big burden, but the weight seems to be heavy. Judging from the shape, it''s supposed to be something like a dowry box. Thinking of the pearly appearance on Shen Xi''s head today, I don''t know how many good things there are?


    When Zhu you saw that she didn''t speak for a long time, he said with a smile, "if my uncle and wife don''t have other orders, please forgive me for leaving first."


    Mrs. Zhou put some other thoughts into her mind. It was rare for her to have a pleasant smile. "Since you have something to do, please go ahead."


    Although Zhu you felt that the other party was not right, he didn''t think deeply. After the ceremony, he took the others to Shen Xiang''s yard.


    At this meeting, Shen Xi had already taken off the jewelry on his head. He had long black hair and tied a chignon with two red head ropes. At this time, he was sitting cross legged on the Kang and playing chess with Shen Xiang.


    Seeing her coming, Shen Xi threw the pieces in his hand and said, "I won''t play any more. Anyway, I won''t win much in this game. I''d better give up as soon as possible. I''ll change my clothes first."


    But Mrs. Zhou went to her daughter''s place and saw that she was holding her cheek and was unhappy. There was a pile of new clothes on the table next to her. Mrs. Zhou recognized at a glance that she had just ordered a new dress for her daughter from a famous embroidery shop in Beijing two days ago. "What''s the matter?" he asked? Why do you look unhappy when you have new clothes


    How about Zhou Kezhen''s "no matter how new it is?"? It''s just plain goods. "


    Mrs. Zhou said, "this is the most popular brocade in Beijing this year. The style is also up-to-date. It costs more than 20 liang of silver. I''m not willing to make such expensive clothes myself." This is enough for their family''s expenses in the past half a month. If it hadn''t been for the past half a year, the whole family lived in the Shen family and saved a lot of money, she would not have been willing to make such expensive clothes for her daughter.


    Hearing his mother talking there again, Zhou Kezhen felt even more upset. Originally, when she was in her hometown, she felt that she was very outstanding. She didn''t want to come to the Shen family and see all the girls who were not inferior to her. Shen Xi, in particular, was wearing a set of pearls when he saw him in the teahouse that day. Today, he is wearing a set of tourmaline. All of them are exquisite. They are more exquisite than what his cousin usually wears. Really, isn''t they just hanging out in their own family? Need to show off like this? Who didn''t?


    Mrs. Zhou, who has always known her temperament, sighs when she sees her daughter Wu Zi''s sullen. She has always been a good girl, but she is not brilliant today. She must be unhappy. She had to find a way to divert her attention. She turned to the opposite wing room and asked, "where''s the opposite one?"


    Zhou Kezhen''s disdainful "where else can I go? I went to flatter my aunt. I don''t like her. When I was at home, I was numb. When I got here, I knew how to pick up high branches. Hum


    Smell speech, Mrs. Zhou takes a finger to point her forehead, a pair of hate iron does not become steel appearance, say "you ah, really brain is not clever.". Your aunt''s family is so rich. The big girl flatters her a little. What''s leaking in her fingers is enough for her to enjoy for a long time. "


    Seeing that her daughter looked rather contemptuous, Mrs. Zhou bit her lips and said, "your mind is clear for your mother, but you don''t know the situation of our family. You only have so much money in a year. Don''t say your father that person, left an aunt, right a room of Na came in, and gave birth to several son of a bitch, that silver is the general flow of water to scatter out. My mother also plans to save money for your brother and sister''s marriage. There''s really limited money on hand. But your aunt is not the same. There are only five or six Chuang Tzu managers who come to close the accounts at the end of this year. I heard that your aunt''s Chuang Tzu, big and small, now has a total of three or four thousand mu of land. With the harvest of several shops, their income in one year can match our income for more than ten years. That''s not even your uncle''s salary. " Zhou Kezhen frowned and said, "that''s not a lot. There''s a lot of input and a lot of expenditure. How many servants are there in this family? I look at my cousin''s head and face, and it costs 100 Liang silver. Since then, I''ve seen 20 or 30 sets only. Not to mention the clothes, all the Shu Brocade and Yun Brocade have never been seen before. They are all sharp. They are all the legitimate daughters of the family. How can my aunt care for her daughter like this? I haven''t seen my uncle. What''s your opinion? That time, I just fell in love with a little bird hairpin. It''s only tens of taels of silver, so my father won''t buy it for me. "


    Mrs. Zhou shook her head helplessly and said, "if you want to go out and walk more, do you know that your cousin grew up with Mrs. Guogong who came here today. She has been raised by her husband and wife for so many years. Just like a daughter, she gives her a lot of clothes and jewelry every season. And the Crown Princess and the princess of Rongjun love your cousin very much. Do you remember that your cousin''s birthday party this year has not yet gone abroad for filial piety, but the two empresses also sent people to send extremely valuable headdress and clothes. It is estimated that the birthday gifts your cousin has received in recent years will be enough to buy a decent dowry. "


    Looking at her daughter''s beautiful appearance, Mrs. Zhou was also very distressed. If it wasn''t for her husband who didn''t know how to make progress, with her daughter''s condition, what kind of high-ranking family couldn''t reach her? Now living in the Shen family, although the eldest sister gives her daughter monthly silver according to her family''s share, what can she do with two taels of silver a month?


    Thinking about this, she complained, "your aunt says she loves you, but she can''t buy a box of better powder for two Liang a month. What do you think your cousin is wearing? Which one is not made of silver? She must be able to help her daughter in private


    After listening to her mother''s words, Zhou Kezhen frowned and said, "it''s better for her mother not to say that. How bad is it if she is heard by her aunt? My cousin is my aunt''s own daughter. Who is she not facing? " In the heart after all some lose, oneself how didn''t reincarnate into aunt''s daughter? Otherwise, won''t the beloved become himself?


    Mrs. Zhou thought about what Fang Xinsu said today. Others just laughed at it. But after listening to it, she had some small plans in her mind. She always thought her daughter was good. Since Princess Rong said that she didn''t care about her family, she said that she couldn''t let her eldest sister-in-law help her lead the line?


    If you are leisurely to know her mind, I''m afraid it will be thunder. How dare you think about this man!


    This meeting leisurely is talking with Jiang Gongren. Jiang Gongren''s brother has passed Enron''s examination, and will be able to go to school after Jinghe college starts. Although he failed to worship those famous scholars, Enron also recommended an experienced gentleman. The day before yesterday, Jiang went to see Mr. Xin.


    This time, his younger brother didn''t have to go to school for thousands of miles, and he also had a good teacher. Of course, Jiang Gongren was very grateful. This time, he came to express his thanks to you ran.

 Chapter 398

    Jiang said sincerely, "if it wasn''t for his wife''s help this time, my brother would not know how long he would be studying abroad? Sometimes when the weather is bad outside, I can''t even come back for the Spring Festival. Now it''s OK. No matter what the students are doing, they are always in front of us. We relatives are also at ease. In particular, my mother and her elderly can be regarded as a wish, thousands of exhortations and thousands of exhortations to let me have a good life, thank you, madam


    Leisurely back to the way "respectful people polite, but it''s just a matter of lifting a hand, in the final analysis, it''s still my brother''s own real talent. If not, he would not be able to pass the assessment even if he had my post and my brother''s recommendation. I''ve heard from my brother that your brother''s basic skills are very solid, but he still has some deficiencies in strategy theory. However, he is still young and has a good life. After several years of training, he will always be able to pass the entrance examination for a scholar. Even if he is a scholar, he may not be able to pass the entrance examination. "


    When she heard leisurely praise her brother, Jiang was really proud of him. She said modestly, "my brother is not smart, but he has a steady temper. I don''t ask him to be a Jinshi or anything. As long as he can be a scholar next year, it''s much better to talk about marriage. " When it comes to his brother''s marriage, Jiang''s heart suddenly murmurs that Mrs. Shen''s sister-in-law is the same age as her brother. Does Mrs. Shen want to take care of her brother like this?


    Then, Jiang shook his head secretly to stop the thought. What''s the identity of Miss Shen? What do you think of my brother? I think so much!


    If leisurely can read Jiang''s heart at the moment, I''m afraid there is absolutely no gentle face at the moment.


    Two people said a few home, Jiangshi see leisurely here people come and go very busy, then know the machine''s leave.


    Jiang just left not long, leisurely is worrying about what to eat at night? See Shen Ze big stride back. After she came out of the second room at noon, Shen Ze took her to the entrance of the alley and left in a hurry. He said that he would go to the Yamen first to have a look, and then he would go to some old people''s homes in the afternoon to walk around. He agreed that he would not come back for dinner in the evening.


    Leisurely step forward a few steps, help him to take off the big fur clothes outside, and then ask, "don''t you mean you won''t come back for dinner tonight? Why are you back all of a sudden? "


    Shen Ze looked a little strange and said with a smile, "guess." Leisurely can''t guess, but Shen Ze just didn''t let go, and beat him several times with a leisurely "if you have a word, just say it, look at your strange look."


    Shen Ze had no choice but to smile twice. Fang said, "I thought it was just an ordinary dinner. Who knows when I went there, there were several flower maidens there. I thought if the lady in the family knew about it, it would be OK? So I left


    Leisurely some don''t believe "you pull it, since those people ask you must be something, can so easy to let you go?"


    Hearing the words, Shen Ze felt his chin helplessly. "What did you do last time? Who doesn''t know that Shen Ze is afraid of me? So I just said, "I don''t like the smell of wind and dust on my body, so no one stopped me. I just came back." Finish saying, helplessly spread hands. Leisurely doesn''t care about his reputation of being "jealous", but the people who make trouble all know it and feel a little surprised. He immediately frowns and says, "but just a little thing is really known to all?"


    Shen Ze nodded. "Originally, it would not have passed so fast. It''s just that our family come and go in this festival. The bride of the driver in the front yard has to come out to help her husband, but she is respected by the servants of every family. Naturally, her deeds are even more famous. "


    Although leisurely does not want to be "famous" in this way, if this kind of reputation can bring some warning to some people with ulterior motives, then be famous.


    She thought about it for a while and then took back her mind. She looked up and saw that a plate of yam cake on the Kang Table had been eaten clean by the couple. She pours a cup of hot tea and hands it to Shen Ze. She laughingly asks, "didn''t you have enough at the second uncle''s at noon? What a hungry ghost reincarnation look


    Shen Ze shook his head and said with a smile, "don''t mention it. The meal at noon is not good. It''s all big fish and meat. It''s a little cold when it''s delivered. It''s so white that I have no appetite. I''m full of wine. The Yamen is on holiday, and there is nothing to eat in the afternoon. I''ve been hungry for most of the day, haven''t I? " Leisurely busy way "then you didn''t say earlier, I''ll let people prepare food.". In the afternoon, Chuang Tzu just brought some fresh pheasants. I asked them to simmer the pheasant soup in a earthen pot. There are ready-made mutton and beef at home, as well as fresh vegetables. Shall we have a pot


    Shen Ze nodded and said, "it''s OK. It''s cold today. It''s still hot to eat this. What about the two boys? Why didn''t you see it? "


    Leisurely first told the servant girl to pass the meal, then turned around and said with a smile, "as soon as they came back, they happened to meet their aunt and asked someone to come and give them something. If they had to go and play with their younger brothers and sisters, I would let them go. Just now someone came to reply and said that he would not come back tonight. "


    Shen Ze sighed, "at the end of this year, there are many things going on with his mother-in-law. Didn''t these two smelly boys make a mess in the past?"


    Leisurely back to the way "no problem, I let taoliang a follow in the past.". A few of them are still very obedient to her


    Shen Ze said with a smile, "it''s still a girl who is clever and sensible. The eldest sister has no less help for you. You can make up for them more during the festival. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "do you still need to say that? My own mother''s sister, can I treat her badly? "


    Shen Ze shook his head and said, "I don''t mean that. I''m just looking at these things. You always use your own private house to make up for it. I love your private house for you. Although it seems that your husband''s family is not as rich as your private family, you can still start a family. You don''t have to save for me. " Then he took out some silver tickets from his arms and handed them to her. "Here, this is the pocket money given to you by my husband. Let''s spend it in your private room."


    Leisurely reached for the bill and looked at it. There were more than five thousand taels of silver. But the red seal in Shenze yamen had been issued long ago, so he asked, "where did you get the windfall?" She won''t worry that Shen Ze will take the money he shouldn''t take. She doesn''t lack money, so he can''t make it.


    Shen Ze comforted him and said, "I helped the man deal with some things, and the man rewarded me."


    As soon as he said this, leisurely he guessed that it was his Royal Highness''s reward. Then he said with a smile, "this master is generous." Then he said, "although the Conferment Ceremony of the prince and the empress is scheduled for the coming year, it''s time to prepare the gift. It''s just that I''m not sure about this. I''ve drawn up a list. You can help me to have a look at it later. "


    At the end of the new year, there are many things to do. Although the fifth prince became the crown prince, on the one hand, he was responsible for the sacrifice to heaven instead of emperor Longde. On the other hand, Emperor Longde simply asked him to manage the government affairs of the imperial court. On the other hand, after being canonized, their family would move to the east palace. How to look at the time before the new year are very tense, so the crown prince and Princess of the canonization ceremony are set in February next year.


    Shen Ze nodded, just as the servant girl had prepared the dinner, so they went to have dinner with each other. After the meal, he took a look at the gift to the prince''s residence.


    It''s rare that a few small ones are not here. After dinner, people also retreat. They have passed a rare two person world.

 Chapter 399

    The next morning, after breakfast, Shen Ze still had to go out for a walk. After leisurely seeing him off, he turned back and muttered to the servant girls, "I don''t know if sister Xi is sleeping well there? The girl, like her brother, is always picky about food. She didn''t move her chopsticks very much during the dinner last night, and she didn''t know what to eat at night? "


    Su he said with a smile, "I heard that the owners of the second room all like to eat meat. Besides, there is no warm room at that end. The fresh vegetables at home must not be as many as ours. I can see that I just picked several baskets of fresh vegetables and some bean sprouts on the other side of the greenhouse today. Grandma might as well have someone send them to me. "


    Leisurely nodded and said, "well, I''ll leave it to you. You can pick out some Xi''s favorite food and put some on it. In addition, you can pick out a box of the small things that my sister-in-law brought yesterday and take them to Xiang''s sister. I''ll leave them for her to play with."


    When Su he got to the second room, the second wife said with a smile, "your eldest girl has just stayed here for one night, and your master is worried?"


    Su he saluted with a smile, stood up and said, "the second wife is joking. Our grandmother said that as long as the wife doesn''t feel noisy, she will stay with the big girl for as long as she is willing to. She doesn''t worry any more. My grandmother saw that several vegetables collected in the greenhouse this morning were very fresh. She thought that there might not be any fresh vegetables at home yesterday, so she asked me to send some


    At this time, fresh vegetables are hard to find. Even in large families, not every family can build a warm house. Although Er Fang is still rich, he still dares not open up to eat such fresh vegetables at this time. So the second wife was very happy to see Su he bring these things. She said with a smile, "it''s your grandmother who is careful. Although she has prepared some at home, she still has to prepare them for the first month, so she dare not eat them openly. With these, at least at noon can be happy to add a few dishes Then let people put things in the kitchen.


    Seeing that Shen Xi wasn''t here, Su he took out a box with a smile and said, "this is what our grandmother gave Miss Xiang. It''s just some small things from the south. Our grandmother said let the girl keep them for people to enjoy."


    The servant girl took the box and handed it to the second wife. The second wife opened the box and looked at it. She saw that there were rings, earrings, pendants and other small objects in it. There were pearls, agates and other shapes. They were all scattered beads. Although they were good in quality, they were not big. It was better to make them exquisite. It was the most suitable way for young girls to take them away.


    The second wife picked up an agate ring and praised, "the craftsmanship in the south is exquisite." As soon as the voice fell, I heard the maid''s greeting outside the door. Then the curtain was opened and Mrs. Zhou led the girl in.


    Seeing them coming, the second wife quietly put Dingxi back into the box, covered the box and handed it to the servant girl. She said, "go and send it to Xiang''er."


    Su he said with a smile, "as it happens, I''ll go and greet the girls."


    The second wife joked, "I know I don''t want to worry about you girls. Go and have a look."


    Seeing Su he left, Mrs. Zhou asked, "isn''t this the servant girl of commander Shen''s family? Why are you here again? "


    The second wife said with a smile, "my niece and daughter-in-law asked her to send some things. Are you busy? Why do you have time to come here at this time? "


    Mrs. Zhou stabbed her daughter secretly, motioned to her to say two words. Zhou Kezhen just did not know. Angry Mrs. Zhou secretly gritted her teeth. But she said with a forced smile, "isn''t this Jane who wants to say hello to your aunt? So I have to come with me. It''s just that the child is too shy. When he comes here, he''s shy again. "


    After living here for such a long time, the second wife had already found out their temperament. After listening to her words, she murmured to herself that this sister-in-law really didn''t know how to stop! And this niece, how about greeting yourself? Renkexin, no matter whether it''s windy or rainy, comes every day before Chenshi. It''s only this Kezhen. There''s never such a rule in her eyes as "morning and evening decide the province". At the beginning, I just mentioned a few words, which aroused the complaints of my mother and daughter. Why bother? Anyway, I''m just a niece. Let''s go! This time, Kezhen sat beside her sister-in-law in a low voice, and felt that she was a little pitiful. The child was delayed by her mother. After all, it''s his own niece. Zhou couldn''t help but feel soft hearted and said with a smile, "there''s nothing to say between you and our old lady. Your sisters should be playing in Xiang''s house. You can go too. The girl''s family is more intimate when they talk together. "


    Mrs. Zhou also said, "yes, your aunt is right. Let''s go." Although Kezhen was a little reluctant, she thought that it would be better to go back to her room and see what they did for recreation.


    Seeing her daughter''s departure, Mrs. Zhou sat down for a while and said to the second wife with a smile, "I have something to discuss with my sister."


    The second wife sneered in her heart. As expected, she had something to do. She picked up her tea cup and asked, "what''s the matter?"


    Mrs. Zhou salivated and said, "didn''t the princess of Rongjun say yesterday that she was going to say goodbye to her brother? Why don''t you tell her to him? "


    As soon as the words fell, the second wife was not choked by the tea in her mouth. After coughing twice, she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and sneered, "you think it''s beautiful! I advise you to live in peace and don''t think about these untouchable things. What is the identity of the Fang family? They have both titles and real power, and they have fame and wealth when they are young. What''s Jane got? Do you have family background or talent? Fortunately, there is no outsider in this room, or people will not laugh at this? "


    Mrs. Zhou murmured, "why not? Doesn''t the Fang family have to call you aunt? If you invite him to be a guest at home and find a way to let him and Jen see each other, won''t it be possible... "


    Before she finished speaking, she saw a teacup flying over her face. Mrs. Zhou quickly dodged. The teacup wiped her body, flew out and fell to the ground. Mrs. Zhou quickly took a handkerchief to wipe the tea stains on her clothes. The material of the clothes was made from her aunt last time. It was the first-class Sichuan brocade. She only wore it twice. I don''t know if I can wash the tea?


    She still has leisure to worry about her clothes. The second wife over there has long been angry with her words. The second wife pointed to her brother''s daughter-in-law''s nose and scolded, "don''t take your mother''s bad ways to teach our Zhou girls. How precious is the reputation of a girl''s family? Don''t you know that? Just like that. You''ve broken a good girl! "


    Mrs. Zhou was very aggrieved. "I''m also doing it for my daughter''s sake. Since my elder sister says that the Fang family is good, let Jane marry her. You''ll have a bright face as an aunt."


    The second wife sneered, "light? If you really want us to do what you want, I''m afraid our family will have no face to stay in the capital. "


    The two people make such a big noise, naturally it is to disturb the outside servant girl, the master bicker, the servant girl dare not persuade, someone told the news to Shen Xiang.

 Chapter 400

    When Su He and Zhou Kezhen arrive at Shen Xiang''s house together, Shen Xiang is talking and chatting with her sisters in her house. In addition to Shen Xi, there are also the sisters of the Zhou family and several common daughters of the Shen family. When Shen Xiang got the box, she opened it and said with a smile, "my sister-in-law still loves me. If she has something good, she thinks of me." Seeing that all the girls in the room focused their eyes on the box, they said with a smile that they didn''t care, "they''re all gadgets. It''s better to be delicate. If the sisters don''t dislike it, they can choose two of them."


    Then he said to Zhou Kexin, "my sister is the biggest. You can choose first." Zhou Kexin took a look at Shen Xi. Thinking that the other party''s identity was more valuable, he said, "let sister Xi choose first."


    Shen Xiang looked at Shen Xi with a smile and said, "don''t pay any attention to her. Her sister-in-law gave it to her. There are better ones designated by her family to keep for her. We are not cheap for her. You just have to choose when you grow up. "


    Zhou Kexin saw Shen Xichong smile, a Hun don''t care about the appearance, he said with a smile, "then I''m not polite." Said, with the box took two, thanks.


    Then, Shen Xiang said to Zhou Kezhen, "my sister just happened to be here. You are the guest. You can choose first." When Zhou Kezhen was at home, she was a domineering man. She had a strong point everywhere. When she came to the Shen family, she wanted to say goodbye to Shen Xiang. It''s just that Shen Xiang is not so easy to bully. Even her mother has to give her three points, not to mention an unfamiliar cousin. Zhou Kezhen has suffered several losses in her hands, and only then has she converged a little.


    This time, Shen Xiang asked her to choose. Somehow she knew that she would thank her first, and then she chose two rings of pink hibiscus stone and a pair of red gold earrings with red agate. These two things can be regarded as two of the most exquisite in this box.


    The rest are the common women of the two families. The obedient one takes two things and puts them in his hands to play with. He also discusses two sentences from time to time.


    Sisters, you look at mine and I look at yours. What is being said here is lively. One of Shen Xiang''s servant girls came in and whispered a few words in her ear.


    Hearing that his mother and aunt had quarreled, Shen Xiang frowned. Although she didn''t know where to go, she still didn''t want to make a big deal. So he said to the girls, "my mother has something to do with me. I won''t keep my sister. Let''s play another day." Then he left in a hurry.


    All the sisters were a little confused, but Shen Xiang had built up a lot of prestige in the family. Besides, it was hard for the guests to stay without the master, so she left one after another.


    Shen Xiang went and came back about half an hour later. Seeing that her face was not worried, Shen Xi began to ask. Shen Xiang had always been close to her, so she said it in a low voice. Finally, she was still a little angry. "This aunt is really a toad. She wants to eat swan meat, but she doesn''t want to think about who Fang''s cousin is? It''s said that the uncle has no fame, no real power and a poor family background. What can he do to get married? "


    After listening to this, Shen Xi felt speechless and said, "OK, you don''t have to be angry. We can''t help you with these things. We can only persuade my aunt not to be angry."


    It''s inconvenient for Shen Xi to stay in the second room. It''s just that Su Hegang sees something wrong and doesn''t leave. Shen Xi tells his cousin that he wants to go home.


    Shen Xiang nodded and said, "it''s OK for you to go back. My mother is determined to punish her aunt this time. She doesn''t know how to make trouble. I don''t have time to take care of you here, so I won''t leave you in vain. "


    Shen Xi said with a smile, "I''m so grown-up, can I still take care of you? It''s just that I can''t get involved in such a thing here. The net income will cause you trouble. Besides, there are still a few days left for the Chinese New Year. I couldn''t stay for a few days. Let''s play together on New Year''s Eve. "


    Shen Xi packed up his things and told his second wife to leave. The second wife took her hand and said, "good boy, I wanted you to stay here for a few more days. But when you come across such incessant relatives, the family is noisy and you can''t stay. I won''t leave you empty. I''ll come back to play with your sister after a year." With that, he sent his wife Haosheng to send Shen Xi and his party back. Leisurely originally saw Su Heyi go most of the day did not come back, some muttered in the heart. It would be so easy to see her come back. Unexpectedly, she brought Shen Xi back too. She asked, "why did you come back today? I''m thinking about how Xiang sister wants to stay with you for a few nights."


    Shen Xi said with a smile, "I wanted to live two more days, but there was something wrong with my second aunt''s family. After all, I was an outsider. It was inconvenient to be there, so I took the opportunity to come back." Then he said it again.


    If you follow the style of those scholarly families, such things as this should not be known to girls, let alone discussed. Leisurely used to follow the customs here, but after Shen Xi and Ji, leisurely began to teach her some things in private. On weekdays, she would pick and tell her some of her family''s strong points and gossip, so that she could learn some experience from them. So this meeting, Shen Xi did not mince, just told his sister-in-law about it.


    After hearing this, he shook his head and sighed, "there are all kinds of muddleheaded people. Men in this world all boast that "a woman without talent is virtue", so they do not want women to read. But you see, whether it''s men or women, if they don''t know big words, let alone etiquette, they don''t even have the minimum moral bottom line. If you are ignorant and do things in a muddle headed way, you will often bring trouble to your children. What else do you want to talk about


    Seeing Shen Xi''s thoughtful appearance, he said with a leisurely smile, "well, let''s not talk about her. It''s just a jerk. Even if she thinks carefully, it''s just a fantasy. The second aunt will try to control her. You''ve just come back. You must be tired. Go back to your room and have a rest. At noon, I''ll let the kitchen make some vegetables you like. Let''s have dinner together. "


    This matter soon spread to Fang Xinsu''s ears. Fang Xinsu was angry and laughed. At that time, she just casually said a modest word. Did anyone believe it? She just thought the house was noisy, so she came here by car.


    They just said a few words, but no one really cared. Fang Xinsu solemnly said to leisurely, "I''ve told you several times, but you didn''t care. How old is brother Jane? Not even a daughter-in-law. I''ll let you pay attention to it. You haven''t paid attention to it


    Leisurely cried out, "this is really unfair to me. How do you know I didn''t care?"


    Fang Xinsu snorted coldly, "why didn''t you mention it?"


    Leisurely and helplessly, he said, "if it''s someone else, I''ll see it almost. But your sister and brother are so picky. If I don''t know all about you, I''d like to talk to you


    Knowing that she was not a free talker, Fang Xinsu immediately asked, "you say that, but what''s a good candidate?"

 Chapter 401

    He pondered for a while and said, "I really know a girl here. Her character, talent and appearance are excellent, but there are some shortcomings in this family."


    Fang Xinsu interrupted, "OK, you don''t want to play tricks. The family background that can make you hesitant is no different? Come on, whose girl is it


    Leisurely then said, "do you remember the Tang girl we met last time in Yongchang Marquis''s residence?"


    Fang Xinsu thought for a long time before he remembered, "are you talking about her? Her grandfather and father were both granted the title of dingxihou, and her younger brother also inherited the title of dingxibo, which is not low in terms of family background. You just said that there are some deficiencies in your family, but I didn''t think about her


    Leisurely said, "I''m not talking about the title. She''s the one whose parents died. It''s said that her mother left early at the beginning, and there''s a lot of reputation of" Xing Ke "in Beijing. Otherwise, according to the good character and family background of Miss Tang, the marriage will not be wasted till now. "


    Fang Xinsu sneered and said, "it''s just the others. I really can''t believe that. My sister and brother are both dead parents, aren''t they? On this point alone, this girl of the Tang family has something in common with me. But I am a little better than her life. My uncles and aunts really love our sister and brother. It''s not like the two of the Tang family, but also the calculation of the other family. After the great achievements, if not for the vital interests, who will have nothing to do to make their rumors? You don''t have to think about it to know that it must have been done by the Yongchang Marquis''s house. "


    Then she frowned and shook her head. "It''s a wonderful choice, but I''m afraid it''s difficult."


    Leisurely was a little surprised and asked, "how can it be difficult? You don''t like her? "


    Fang Xinsu said with a dumb smile, "how can I miss a girl who even the queen likes? In fact, I have met Miss Tang several times at Niang Niang''s, which is a little familiar. How can I not see her such a good character and appearance? It''s just that I look at the empress''s meaning. It''s very meaningful to match her with the young master of the Meng family. That''s why I left it


    Leisurely then suddenly realized "so it is. I thought you were not familiar with her. Well, that''s a pity. "


    Hearing the words, Fang Xinsu also sighed, "no, the girls in Xun GUI''s family seldom see such a quiet and inflexible one. They can''t hide the fragrance of books. I fell in love with her at a glance, too. Alas, how can this good girl be occupied by others? "


    Now that the matter had come to this point, they had to put it aside for further discussion.


    In the twinkling of an eye, the new year is coming. After the prince sacrificed the emperor''s mausoleum, he presided over the royal family dinner on New Year''s Eve!


    Shen Tian looks at the two more charming maids in the east palace. Others don''t know, but she gets the news and knows that they are sent by Gu''s family. Looking after the family, it seems that she has made a lot of plans. Now it''s not easy for her daughter to send her directly. Why don''t she send her two inner favourites first? She sneered in her heart, and gently ordered the palace lady to arrange them for a good life. But she turned her head and mercilessly applied an eye medicine to Gu''s family.


    Although the heart should be diaphragm, Shen Tian is still patient, seemingly inadvertently mentioned two people to "Your Highness how to think of this time so two people come in?"


    The crown prince has been enjoying himself very much recently. Hearing this, he joked, "what''s the matter? Is the princess jealous? "


    Shen Tian picked up Liu Mei and said with a smile, "what are their identities? And I''m jealous? "


    Then he talked to the prince like a virtuous man, "I don''t know what I think of the family that sent me? Although his Royal Highness has now moved into the East Palace, he has successfully taken the place of his father to supervise the state and administration, but I don''t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you? Father is now sick in bed, at this moment, if someone will come in new things told father. Your highness, how do you think your father''s heart will be? " Seeing that the crown prince''s face was a little dignified, Shen Tian continued, "if the family has the heart, it''s not too late to send them after all the dust is settled! But at this point, it''s not that I''m so thoughtful. What a rough mind can I do for such an improper thing? Your Highness has always been cautious. How come this time... "


    The prince had a few more drinks at the banquet that day. They were not only beautiful but also considerate. He was so comfortable that he was so soft hearted that he brought them back.


    This time, after listening to Shen Tian''s words, I felt that something was wrong with it. They had been married for many years, and he knew that Shen Tian was never that sour and jealous, so he still believed in her. When you rub your chin and say, "why don''t you send someone back?"


    Shen Tian didn''t have a good temper and said, "it''s all here. Isn''t it more guilty to send it out?" Seeing that Shen Tian was angry, the crown prince quickly advised him, "it''s the lonely king who is not good. After getting drunk, he was confused and did something wrong. But two girls, what you want to do is up to you. The lonely king has absolutely no second words?"


    Hearing the speech, Shen Tian asked with a straight face, "then I''ll let them go to the washing place. Can your highness be willing?"


    Prince Xin said, in fact, is reluctant. But he thought that this was his original wife, and he wanted to give some face, so he said, "the lonely king has said that he can''t give up any more."


    Shen Tian then said with a smile, "I''m joking with your highness. It''s your Highness''s beloved. How can you really let them go to Huanxi to do rough work? It''s just that under such circumstances, your Highness has nothing to do with them. I heard that their needlework is pretty good. Why don''t you let them stay in the sewing room and help your highness make inner clothes and shoes. On the surface, they are just the maid of the sewing room. Even if others ask, we have a reply. What does your highness think? "


    At this time, how can women not do needlework? Such as the queen and Shen Tian, they occasionally make several kinds of stitches for their husbands or children. Hearing that the Crown Princess just let them act as maids in the sewing room first, the crown prince felt that the arrangement was very appropriate. Then he took Shen Tian''s hand and said, "it''s still thoughtful of you. If it wasn''t for you, Gu Wang would have done something wrong."


    Shen Tian held back the chill in his heart and said with a smile, "Your Highness is managing everything every day. The government affairs in the court alone are enough for you to be busy. It''s inevitable that there will be some negligence in such a small matter. It''s not that I''m talkative. This time, your highness is not aware of it. People around me should also mention it. "


    The crown prince frowned and said, "you know the lonely king. It''s useful to look at xiaodezi when you were in the palace. After entering the East Palace, I feel that he is lacking. "


    Shen Tian said, "Your Highness is now the crown prince. Naturally, you have to have the constitution of the crown prince to act. It''s good for your highness to have some servants who are familiar with the affairs of the palace."


    Hearing this, the prince sighed, "how can the lonely king not know this? It''s just that the eunuchs in the palace are young. Old and smart, they all have their own masters behind them. It''s just the other side. If you find someone who''s right, aren''t you alone? "


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "who does your highness think is the one who doesn''t want you to have an accident?"


    The prince thought hard for a long time. How can he feel that there is no good man in the palace? Even empress Meng, who has always had a good relationship, could not believe it. So he frowned and asked, "who are you talking about?"

 Chapter 402

    Seeing that the prince didn''t understand for a moment, Shen Tian didn''t bother to beat around the Bush and said with a smile, "Your Highness is really a fan of the game. His father has lost several sons in succession. Now your highness is the only adult prince who can be worthy of great responsibility. With his father''s wisdom, he naturally doesn''t want to see you have an accident. "


    Hearing this, the prince suddenly realized, "thanks to your advice, otherwise the lonely king would have gone the wrong way." Then he patted Shen Tian''s hand and said, "it''s worthy of being the original wife of the lonely king. This insight is extraordinary."


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "Your Highness, I''m flattered. I just thought about it for a long time this afternoon. Your highness is so busy that he has no time to think about it, otherwise he would have thought about it. In other words, your highness doesn''t blame me for being talkative. "


    The prince saw that Shen Tian had a deep understanding of righteousness, so he only liked it more. After hearing this, he just said with a smile, "it''s just a private conversation between our husband and wife. What''s the matter?"


    From the next day on, Shen Tian heard that the crown prince often took the chief eunuch sent by Longde Di with him. He was secretly relieved that her efforts were not in vain.


    And the eunuch in charge of the East Palace is not someone else, it is Chen Jiang who is familiar with leisurely!


    But he said that after listening to Shen Tian''s words, the crown prince really didn''t get involved with the two maids, and after that, he gave a lecture to Gu Jingke, the father of Gu''s family. And this matter somehow even spread to the ears of the Gu family girl.


    Miss Gu is not a vegetarian. She told her elder brother in front of her mother. Mrs. Gu also disagreed with her son''s practice, and Gu Jingke was in a mess for a while.


    I don''t know all these things. Seeing that the new year is coming, something unpleasant has happened at home.


    It turns out that Yulian only went back once after he left. Needless to say, she was very unhappy. So for so many years, Yulian never went back. Generally, it''s just for people to take back the things they give their parents.


    But now Yulian''s elder brother does some small business at home and often comes to the capital. Yulian''s parents know what kind of virtue their daughter-in-law is, and they don''t want their daughter to go back to be angry. They occasionally follow their eldest son to see their daughter. Their mother''s flesh and blood can be seen two or three times a year, but it doesn''t matter.


    This time, someone sent a message that Yulian''s mother was ill and asked her to go back and have a look. This big new year''s day, and other idle people will not tell such lies at this time. What''s more, it''s about her mother. Yulian doesn''t have time to think about it. She says it with leisurely, and she is in a hurry to pack up and go back.


    Leisurely but feel something is not right, but think of my brother back to ancestor worship has not come back, is what things always take care of Yulian. So people set up a car and sent two stout women and two young men to follow.


    It was exactly what leisurely thought. It turned out that Yulian''s second sister-in-law tried to find someone to take Yulian back. The reason is that her mother''s brother died and her daughter-in-law left her three children. At leisure, no one would want her daughter to be the stepmother. Even those who don''t care for their daughters want a very high betrothal gift. Yulian''s second sister-in-law thought of her sister-in-law. She thought that she was a widower and widow and could make a couple.


    These years, Yulian has not been back to her mother''s home, but is lazy to deal with these people. Yulian''s second sister-in-law thought that her sister-in-law was the cowardly and indisputable character before, and she was easy to cheat. So he tried to find a way to send her back to the village, and then let himself meet her at the entrance of the village. At that time, he cheated her into the empty room prepared in advance, and her brother was waiting there. When the time came, raw rice would be cooked. What if the family didn''t want to? Anyway, she has two sons.


    But she never thought that Yulian had brought so many people back. All plans are empty, but careful thinking is known by everyone.


    After the incident, Yulian only looked at her second brother and asked, "does the second brother know this?" Yulian''s second brother didn''t answer, but he lowered his head in shame.


    Seeing this, Yulian didn''t say a word. She turned around and got on the carriage.


    Leisurely heard with the car''s mother-in-law said things after "Lin Niangzi''s second sister-in-law, strength is really not small, if not for a few maidservants came forward to hold her away, light Lin Niangzi back, not necessarily how."


    After listening to this, leisurely felt some fear. She rewarded several servants with the car, especially the two women, and only told them not to tell any more about it. When people see that this matter involves the master''s family, they naturally dare not say more.


    When she came back, she went straight back to her yard. When she went in leisurely, she saw that she was leaning on the couch and crying silently, and taoliang was also brushing her tears. Seeing her coming in, Yulian didn''t move. Seeing Tao Liang''s poor appearance leisurely, he went over to help him dry his tears with a handkerchief and comforted him, "good boy, your mother is just in a daze. Don''t join in the fun. Look at my eyes. They''re swollen. I''ll have someone take you to Aunt Xi, OK


    Tao Liang shook his head, looked at Yu Lian and said, "I''m not going. I''ll be here with my mother."


    Carefree touch her head "is really a good child, then you go to wash your face, change clothes, see you are still wearing the clothes to go out.". I advise your mother


    Taoliang just nodded. Su he hurriedly came forward, took her hand and said, "I''ll take watch girl to wash."


    Seeing the silent tears of Yulian, she sighed leisurely, "I''ve heard what they said. It''s really heartbreaking. But, if I say, it''s not worth it to be sad for such a person. You are always transparent. Why can''t you understand? " As she spoke, she helped her wipe the tears from her face with a handkerchief.


    Jade lotus wry smile a "second sister-in-law do what, I again angry is also limited.". As you said to me before, it''s just irrelevant. Just ignore it. However, I didn''t expect that the second brother knew about it and even helped to hide it from me. If I hadn''t brought a few more people back this time, I would have been ruined for the rest of my life. He''s my brother! When I was a child, I was very painful. When I went shopping before I got married, I would remember to bring me some snacks or gadgets. I didn''t expect it to be like this now! "


    Leisurely pat her on the shoulder, "people will change, but some people change more. Brothers and sisters are close to each other when they were young. When they grow up, they have their own families. Naturally, their thoughts are different from before. The second cousin may not feel sorry for your sister, but in his heart, his wife may be heavier. It''s said that if you marry a daughter-in-law and forget your mother, you''re just a sister. It''s normal to be forgotten. "


    After listening to this, Yulian laughed. She said with tears and laughter, "you don''t know what''s in your head, but it''s some crooked ideas, and it''s just what you said."


    Leisurely don''t care, said "tube her unreasonable, can make you laugh."

 Chapter 403

    Taoliang just changed his clothes after washing. Seeing that Yulian had wiped away her tears and had a smile on her face, she quickly kicked off her shoes and jumped into her arms to act like a coqueter. "Niang, don''t cry like this in the future. I''m going to die of heartache."


    Yulian embraces her daughter''s soft and fragrant body. Listening to her soft and sweet voice, she just feels that her heart has changed. But he still said, "how old are you? Still so clingy, not afraid of your aunt''s jokes? "


    Leisurely said, "how sensible the child is, I won''t laugh at her." Then he said, "look, the child has been crying with you for a long time, and his eyes are swollen. Not for others, just for this clever and sensible girl, you should be more open-minded. OK, you two have been running around all day, so you can have a rest. It looks like the Chinese New Year is coming. Don''t cry any more. "


    Jade lotus nods to answer a way "cry this one, the affair also passed.". I know you''re busy. Go ahead and ignore me. "


    After coming back in the evening, leisurely told Shen Ze about it, and then sighed, "it''s still my brother, so it''s not reliable."


    Shen Ze replied, "there are so many villains in the world. There are so many people who sell their wives and daughters. There are so many like him. You two cousins are really not very smart. They are just pushing the rich out. "


    Leisurely way "isn''t it? Fortunately, they didn''t know that sister Yulian had such a thick family background, or they didn''t know what would happen. Even aunts and uncles only know that the price of the embroidery in sister Yulian''s daily life is good, but they don''t know that she has saved several houses and shops. "


    Shen Ze felt his chin and said, "it''s more than that. I saw taoliang''s clothes tied with a piece of lanolin jade. We don''t have many pieces of lanolin jade. I''ve seen similar things in taoliang several times. It seems that my cousin''s medical skill is very good. "


    In fact, at first Shen Ze thought that they were all from his daughter-in-law, but later he saw more and more good things in Tao Liang, so he didn''t think so. His daughter-in-law''s temperament is still a little bit clear. He is a little bit addicted to money. She doesn''t care about the ordinary palace flowers, beads and hairpins. But such a level of good things, she has always been only in and out. Of course, he thought about it in his heart. For the sake of harmony between husband and wife, it''s better not to say it. Since it''s not from the daughter-in-law, it can only be earned by others themselves.


    Leisurely some strange look to their prime minister, "how do you care about your cousin today?"


    Hearing this, Shen Ze coughed and said, "in fact, someone asked me about your cousin."


    Leisurely all of a sudden came the interest "who is asking?"? What do you want to know? "


    Shen Ze replied, "today I went to Juyuan building for dinner. I happened to meet Lao Si and some friends who were also there. I went in and sat down and said hello. During the dinner, there was a doctor of the Chinese family, who was a doctor of the Chinese family. When he got to know his cousin, he asked me a few questions. But I didn''t ask anyone else. I asked my cousin if she was going to see anyone now. She said that there was a woman in her family who didn''t feel well, but no one in her family could treat her. I wanted to ask my cousin to see her after the first month. "


    Leisurely frowned and said, "my cousin seldom goes out to see a doctor now. Maybe she has been wronged when she went back to the princess''s house. Now she doesn''t want to go out to see a doctor, and many people who come to see her have been pushed. Only a few familiar contacts with the past. "


    Shen Ze said helplessly, "if you don''t say that these golden branches and leaves are extremely delicate, even if they are gentle, there are always those who step on the high and hold the low. Going out for a walk is inevitable. But if cousin is not used to it, it''s nothing. We don''t need their mother''s food. "


    Leisurely shook her head with a smile and said, "you don''t know, sister Yulian looks weak, but she is a bit strong in her bones. You see, she''s in our house. Although she''s useless, she makes shoes and clothes for their brothers and sister Xi. She''s not very willing to spend herself, but she''s generous to her children, and she''s willing to do anything valuable. " Then she asked mysteriously, "do you know how much money my cousin has saved these years?"


    How can I know that? I don''t have to go to my aunt''s private room to find out what to do? "


    Leisurely back to the way "I''ll tell you one, let your heart have a bottom, save you to look down on people. It''s only a few years since my cousin came to the capital, and she has already saved more than ten thousand dollars. "


    After listening to this number, even Shen Ze was surprised. "My cousin is really good at making money. I didn''t expect that she could save so much money."


    Leisurely explained, "of course, there is not so much cash, but the total number of houses and shops is this. You don''t know. I only know that once, she cured a lady of her stubborn illness for many years and helped her conceive. She was given 1000 Liang in cash. "


    At this point, leisurely frowned and said, "I always feel that the Chinese doctor you are talking about has no good intentions. As you have said, since you are a medical family, there are always a few medical masters who can''t see through what kind of diseases? What''s more, there must be some women who know medical skills in such a family. Why do you have to ask my cousin to see a doctor? I don''t know what''s wrong here. I think it''s better not to let my cousin go to this muddy water before it''s too late. "


    Shen Ze said with indifference, "anyway, I didn''t answer. Let''s discuss this with your sisters. Well, let''s not talk about other people. A silver building just opened in the winter moon on Zhuque street. When I passed by that time, I went in and had a look. I saw a pair of jade bracelets. They were really good, delicate and translucent, but the carving was not very good, rough and clumsy. I''ll buy it back and make it a new one. Do you like it? "


    Say, take out a purse from the bosom, after opening, inside is a pair of mellow and full blessing bracelet. Fubangle is commonly known as the round bar, pay attention to the outer circle, inner circle, ring circle three circles in one. To tell you the truth, she would not like this kind of solemn bracelet style if she looked at it leisurely. But after so many years in ancient times, leisurely is more and more like the round bracelet of the kind of simple strength.


    The color of this pair of bracelets is full green, which is close to the color of green pepper. Because of its own water, it is transparent and moist, and it will not be particularly old-fashioned. Leisurely put on the hand, although the ring is a little big, but the color is really beautiful.


    Leisurely, the more you look at it, the more you like it. I''m enjoying it. Just in time, Shen Xi came with two small ones. As soon as he entered the room, Shen Xi saw the new bracelet on leisurely wrist. Turning to see his brother''s appearance, he said angrily, "my brother has bought good things for my sister-in-law again. I don''t know if he has any younger sister in mind?"


    I really forgot. But Shen Ze is very familiar with the truth that women rely on coax. He is extremely calm and says, "naturally, I can''t forget my sister. What I gave you is in the study. I''ll send it to your room later."


    Shen Xi pouted, "why wait until later, brother, let someone take it now?"


    Before Shen Ze''s reply, Kang Tai said, "Dad can''t favor one over the other. I want a gift, too." Seeing that his brother said so, Kang Ping echoed.


    Seeing such a scene, Shen Ze shook his head helplessly. The ancients didn''t deceive me. It''s really "only women and villains are hard to support"!

 Chapter 404

    As a last resort, Shen Ze had to let people go to his study and take a few exquisite things he usually collected.


    Shen Xi was given a delicate and moist tianhuangshi seal, while his two sons were given a pair of jade handpieces. What can make Shen Ze treasure are all good things, which can be regarded as a massive hemorrhage. At least, it can be regarded as pacifying a few small ones.


    Because the crown prince was canonized, the Shen family as the mother of the crown princess, this new year''s natural is unspeakable flower brocade trend. Fortunately, the state of Shen has always been cautious in public affairs. He has restrained his people for a long time, and no one is allowed to bully others. In addition, Shen''s father and son, one has no real power, and the other is young. Even if others want to find the Shen family''s mistakes, they can''t start for a moment.


    The new year passed in an atmosphere of excitement and tension.


    I don''t know what happened. For four or five years in a row, the capital has not been peaceful. The royal family, in particular, always goes wrong one after another. It was supposed to be a happy event to confer the title of Prince, but it was so disappointing in front of Longde''s illness.


    At the banquet on New Year''s Eve, Emperor Lund forced himself to show his face. Although the Communist Party of China stayed for less than a quarter of an hour, he retreated. At least the concubines in the palace were a little relieved.


    But before they could put their hearts back in their stomach, lundeti''s body was getting worse day by day. At this time, the imperial concubines, princes and daughters of the harem were really worried. They took the initiative to serve Longde for two days without saying anything. They all had extremely meticulous intentions. If there is no such empty words as deep feelings, at least Lunde is alive. As emperors, concubines and children, they all enjoy first-class treatment. When someone else becomes the emperor, the princes and daughters are also OK. At least the ones who ascend the throne are their own brothers, and they can get by on the whole. But the harem concubines, especially the childless concubines who have no children, have a hard time.


    Fang Xinsu came back from the palace and said to leisurely, "I see that the gate of Qian hall will be leveled by these people. And then there is the Huangjue temple. It''s said that it''s often overcrowded recently. If I say, why? If Buddha worship is really so useful, there will be no birth, aging, illness and death in the world. "


    Leisurely back to the way "these big truth, we may not know, but just for a peace of mind." Looking up, she saw that Fang Xinsu was a little haggard recently. She thought she was worried about the queen. She said, "I know you have a lady in mind, but you have to take care of your body. Look at you, your face is thin and your eyes are blue. At this time, you should take more care of yourself. "


    Fang Xinsu almost told the truth about his life experience, but he just held back and said, "I know, you don''t have to worry."


    It was so easy to survive the Shangyuan festival that lundeti collapsed completely. On his deathbed, he ordered the prince to ascend the throne, and then called him to his bed to instruct him to support empress Meng and his concubines, and to be kind to his brothers and sisters.


    In the end, it was his own father and son. The prince was not sad to see his father dying. He naturally responded to his father''s orders one by one.


    The rest of the princes and grandchildren and the highly respected princes and ministers are also staying in the hall at the moment. Leaning against the big soft pillow, Longde looked out through the gate of the back hall and saw Qi Heng standing outside the hall. He sighed deeply. The most sorry thing in his life was their mother and daughter. For the sake of the so-called fame, he could not even recognize his own daughter. I don''t know if Qi Heng can treat Le''an well after he left.


    Thinking of this, Emperor Longde said to the prince in a low voice, "there''s something I''ve been hiding from the palace. Le''an is my own daughter and your own sister. "


    Prince a Leng "unexpectedly has this matter, the son minister has not known." No wonder the Empress Dowager was so kind to Le''an that she left her so much property on her deathbed. Fortunately, it''s just a daughter, not a princess. Then, he hesitated and asked, "does my father want to make her a princess?"


    Long de Di shook his head. "Because of some antecedents, I can''t let her recognize her ancestors. She doesn''t even know about it. You just know it. I just hope that if she is wronged in the future, you can take care of her more for the sake of flesh and blood. Her life experience no longer needs to be known to outsiders. Otherwise, I can''t explain to the Shen family. " Hearing that lundeti just asked him to take care of him for a few minutes, the prince was relieved. Naturally, he was too busy to deal with this little matter.


    Long de Di has been ill for a long time. Today, after talking for a long time, he didn''t feel tired. In his heart, he also felt a little bit sensitive. Taking advantage of the good spirit of Huizi, he called queen Meng and her princes, grandsons and close princes to him and gave them a few instructions one by one.


    People see such a situation, which is not clear that this is a return? But in my heart, I''m looking forward to the fact that lundeti can really get better.


    It''s just that this kind of expectation is empty. As soon as emperor Lund''s instructions are finished, Xu feels that his mind is happy, and there is no sign at all. As soon as he tilts his head, he goes.


    Emperor Dakang Shizong died in Qianyuan hall on the 17th day of the first year of chongtian.


    As soon as emperor Longde left, his sons and grandsons, princes and ministers began to cry.


    After a while, the news came to the back palace. Shen Tian knew it and ordered him to go down. He closed the palace and put on plain clothes to prepare for crying. He also changed his clothes and got up to go to Fengning palace.


    As soon as the emperor Longde left, empress Meng would feel sad, but when she came back to Fengning palace and saw the two pots of orchids left by her niece, most of the sadness was gone. However, at this time, all the concubines of the whole palace came to her. Naturally, empress Meng would not be taken for granted. She was still very sad.


    After a while, Shen Tian came with the imperial concubines from the east palace. After meeting Shen Tian, empress Meng wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief and choked, "as soon as the emperor Daxing goes, I just feel uncomfortable and tight in my heart. I''ll leave the things in this palace to you."


    Shen Tian quickly declined and said, "my daughter-in-law is young and inexperienced. It''s better for the harem to rely on the mother and the queen. "


    Empress Meng shook her head gently and said, "you don''t have to refuse. You are the prince''s original wife. Sooner or later, the harem will be handed over to you. Just do it boldly."


    The concubines are not easy to talk about this. After all, the wives of the new and old emperors are all here, so it''s not the second wife''s turn to talk.


    In the end, the eldest princess of Dening clapped and said, "OK, the princess should not give way. What the empress said is that sooner or later the harem will be handed over to you. You should learn to do this time. "

 Chapter 405

    Shen Tian didn''t mean to shirk or make a gesture, but most of the concubines in today''s harem are still the concubines of emperor Dahang. Now, she is still in the name of crown princess, and she is also a junior. If she takes over the palace affairs rashly, she will be hard to convince the public for a moment.


    Empress Meng had been treating her well, and Shen Tian expected that this meeting would simply let her have the right. But Shen Tian didn''t expect that the eldest princess of Dening, who has always been known for her rigidity and seclusion, would speak for her at this time.


    At this point, if Shen Tian refused again, he would be hypocritical, and he would take care of the palace affairs properly.


    At this time, in the Qianyuan palace, the prince and others wept bitterly for a while. Xia Zhaoyi''s ninth prince was the first to give the prince a big gift, choking: "father''s last words, want the prince to inherit the great rule. Long live, long live, long live, long live, long live. "


    The other princes and the royal families make complaints about the nine princes. They used to look at the younger generation''s children. They never thought that the dog legs would be on the legs of the new prince at this critical moment.


    No matter how to make complaints about the heart, Chu Jun was early established. Besides, many people have heard what Longde''s emperors have said, and there is no objection to it. Someone took his head and fell to his knees one after another. Long live the mountain.


    After the new King became emperor, with the help of several old ministers, the will of the government was issued one by one.


    As for the harem, although there is no clear decree, the emperor has orally appointed empress Meng as empress dowager, and Shen Tian has successfully become empress.


    After the news of the new emperor''s accession to the throne reached Fengning palace, the imperial concubines and Princess Gaoming, who had a wait-and-see attitude, suddenly changed their colors. In particular, the favoured daughters of emperor Longde, if they were proud of Shen Tian just now, now they have to change their attitude to be warm and warm.


    Shen Tian was also secretly relieved. After years of planning, she finally took a big step today. But now there are so many things. She has no time to think about them. She just keeps up her mind and should be responsible for the palace work. Fortunately, with the guidance of Empress Dowager Meng and her outstanding ability, everything went smoothly.


    When the death knell rings in the Forbidden City, leisurely knows the news of emperor Lund''s funeral. Fortunately, years ago, she quietly asked her servants to prepare plain clothes and plain curtains. As soon as he heard the death knell, he hurriedly changed his family into plain clothes. In order to welcome the new year, he also changed all the bright decorations.


    Leisurely changed his clothes, entrusted the family affairs to Yulian, and hurried to the palace to cry.


    Two days ago, there was a heavy snow in Beijing. It''s time to melt the snow. With the northwest wind, it''s even colder. Even though I had some preparation in my heart, when leisurely came out of the carriage, I was still shivering with cold.


    The palace doesn''t let the servant girl go in. Su he hands over a hand stove and says, "why don''t you take this hand stove with you and put it in your sleeve quietly? I don''t think it will be found by others. It will be warmer." Leisurely shook his head, "no need, if people see it, it''s disrespectful to Emperor Dahang." She rubbed her hands, covered her face again, straightened her clothes and went to the palace.


    There is no need to talk about the painstaking work of weeping. We have to attack before dawn every day and return at dusk. Especially in this cold season, the taste is always very bad. There are many weak people who can''t stand to fall. Especially the older ones, several of them fell ill. In fact, it seems to be a convention. Every time someone in the palace passes away, there will always be a few people in Gaoming pile. In the past, those people had nothing to do with leisurely, but this time Zhuang Shu''s grandmother, Feng Laofu, unfortunately fell ill.


    At that time, in the palace, leisurely though I was worried, I couldn''t do more. After hearing this, the queen ordered the royal doctor to come to her for treatment. When she was sober, she was sent home.


    In the evening, after returning home leisurely, he changed his clothes in a hurry and asked people to find an old ginseng which he had collected for 50 years. With a few other medicines, he went to the waiting house of Jinxiang in a hurry. When she arrived, Zhuang Shu was really waiting here, and even Lin Mu came with her. As for Enron, now that the new king is on the throne, he is so busy that he has no time to come. He is not the only one. He has never met his husband since the emperor''s visit.


    Leisurely see Zhuang Shu face is OK, heart will fall a big stone, busy concern asked "how old lady?"


    Zhuang Shu said, "the doctor gave me a pulse, but I''m old and weak. I''m running back and forth these days, and I can''t stand it any more. It''s said that it''s good to have a rest for a few days and it won''t hurt. This time, I''ve drunk the medicine and gone to sleep. "


    Hearing the speech, leisurely just relieved, "it''s good that the old people are old after all, and some of them are weak for a while. You don''t have to worry too much. As long as the doctor prescribes any medicine, our family is still in charge of it. It''s better to take good care of the elderly first. "


    Zhuang Shu frowned and said, "the Taiyi asked her grandmother to drink shenyangrong soup, but after searching all over the house, there were no two good ginseng with a year. There is only one at home for 20 years, which my sister gave to my mother that time. I have no choice but to use it for emergency. After a while, I will go to find a good one to make up for my mother. "


    Pat her hand leisurely "that thing is prepared for a rainy day, if you can use it, just use it.". I''ve also brought a 50 year old ginseng here. You see, if it''s used, use it first. "


    This year''s old ginseng, needless to say, must be used to press the bottom of the box. Zhuang Shu said, "elder sister doesn''t have to be so polite. The doctor said that my grandmother needs to take care of her illness slowly, and she can''t make up for it too much at once. Twenty years of ginseng soup is enough. I''d better put away such a good thing for future use. "


    Leisurely handed the box to her hand, "you take it first, and it''s not too late to return it to me when the old lady recovers." Zhuang Shu knew that her aunt had never been a gimmick, so she immediately ordered her maid to take care of it.


    Seeing that her face was not good, leisurely he said, "since the old lady is OK, I feel at ease. It''s getting late, so I won''t stay any longer. "


    Zhuang Shu nodded and said, "as soon as my grandmother fell down, there was no one in charge in the backyard of the house. Now it''s still a mess, and I don''t want to leave my sister." Then he said to Lin''s mother, "it''s getting late, and we don''t know what''s going on in our family. Why don''t our mother go to her house with her sister tonight and go to the palace with you tomorrow morning. With my sister''s care, I can save my mind. "

 Chapter 406

    Because there are no adults in the Lin family, the two children are also in the Shen family these days, with Yulian and Shen Xi taking care of them. At this time, after listening to her daughter-in-law''s words, Mrs. Lin said, "OK, I haven''t seen two children for several days. I just went to see them. Old lady, you are going to work hard here. You should pay more attention to your health and don''t be too tired. "


    Zhuang Shu answered one by one and personally sent them to the second gate.


    When they got home, a maid brought hot water to wash them. When they put on their clothes and came out, the steaming dinner was ready.


    Leisurely see, smile to jade lotus way "these days, thanks to the elder sister help, otherwise a walk so a few days, the family still don''t know what kind of chaos?"


    "Don''t thank me. I''m just looking at my children. It''s sister Xi who is capable of arranging everything in this family. She must be a good hand to live in the future."


    Lin''s mother also said with a smile, "sister Xi is really capable. Your sister-in-law was not so experienced at her age."


    Shen Xi said, "my aunt is joking. I just learned a little from my sister-in-law."


    Leisurely is talking with some children. After hearing the words, she helps her forehead and says, "OK, you are all very capable. You don''t have to be modest there. Now that the food is ready, let''s have a quick meal. My stomach is going to be flat. " Then he asked the people to sit down.


    Yu Lian said with a smile, "you just came back and said that I would not wait for you. Sister Xi and I took the children to eat first. You and the second aunt don''t care about us. Eat quickly. "


    Hearing this, leisurely then didn''t politely greet them, and directly called mother Lin to have dinner. They went to the Marquis''s residence in Jinxiang for such a long time. It''s very late now. Several children have been sleepy in that can''t open their eyes, see, leisurely busy let the mammy take them down, their placement did not mention.


    For several days in a row, there were elderly people who fell ill one after another. Later, after discussing with the empress dowager, Shen Tian ordered people to clean up the side halls, put fire pots and other things, and allowed them to take turns to rest. He also promised that Gao Ming, who was over 60 years old and had no physical discomfort, would not have to go into the palace to cry. Leisurely has been exercising all the time. Although it''s hard, he can endure it, but he lost a lot of weight in the end.


    After the coffin of emperor Dahang was officially moved to the mausoleum for burial, Shen Ze finally returned home. As the commander of the Imperial Army, he had to be on guard everywhere during the transition from the old to the new. He always lived in the army these days. It''s so easy to wait for the emperor of Lunde to enter the mausoleum. After the new emperor officially ascended the throne, he was free to return home.


    In sum, the couple had not seen each other for more than a month. This is the longest time since we got married.


    Leisurely watching Shen Ze lose a lot of face, can''t help heartache to say "how thin so much? On such a cold day, why is it so dark? "


    Shen Ze held her hand and said, "it''s a bit dark outside all day? Don''t patronize me, I see you''ve lost a lot of weight, but your skin is still as white as before. "


    Leisurely back to the way "at least every day I can go home to eat some hot food, sleep a safe sleep, not as hard as you sleep outside. But this is a little relief. I asked someone to prepare hot water. Take a bath first. In the evening, let''s drink mutton Guiqi soup so that we can supplement it for you. "


    Shen zerou said, "these days, you have to go to the palace to cry, and you have to worry about your family. You are also involved. Let''s make up for it together."


    Thanks to the servant girls, they have already retired, otherwise this meeting will not be numb to death


    Seeing that the emperor Dahang had been buried in the mausoleum, and that the new emperor had succeeded to the throne, the Manchu Dynasty just relaxed, and the news of the invasion of Tartars came from daningwei in Beiguan. The Tartars did not know how to lobby, but they gathered the forces of many grassland tribes. This time, they gathered 100000 troops to invade. Only 50000 or 60000 troops were stationed in daningwei, but the neighboring Guangping county was also invaded by Gao Liguo and failed to send reinforcements for the time being. Although general Dingbei, who guarded daningwei, led his troops to fight hard, he failed to keep daningwei''s pass and could only stop the enemy outside daningwei''s palace. This time, he has sent several folds to Beijing to ask for support.


    It shouldn''t be too late. Now the enemy troops are on the way to the city. If we don''t send reinforcements quickly, once the city of Daning Prefecture is broken, there will be no barrier north of the capital to stop the enemy''s invasion.


    There are now more than 200000 elite troops stationed around the capital, but these troops are not easy to mobilize. The emperor ordered 100000 elite troops to be transferred from Zhili, Tanggu and other places and immediately went to Daning Prefecture for reinforcement.


    Soldiers are easy to adjust, but the leader has become a problem for a while. As for Ding Anbo, Ji Guogong and others recommended by the ministers, when the emperor thought of their relationship with the princes, he could not relax even if they would lead the army again.


    Xinjun looked around the ministers in Qianyuan hall, but he didn''t like it. He would not doubt Shen Ze''s loyalty and ability, but at this time, the imperial guards who are responsible for guarding the Forbidden City are not suitable for fighting.


    Seeing that the new emperor was still hesitant, Luo Shangshu of the Ministry of war immediately stepped forward and said, "tell the emperor that the position of commander is not trivial. In addition to bravery, he must have great talent. Shen Mingchang, a loyal Lord, has been fighting for many years. He once made great achievements in Northwest China. His heroic strategy, throughout today''s imperial court, is beyond his control. The commander-in-chief of the northern expedition must be Duke Shen. "


    As soon as these words came out, all the generals in the temple, such as Duke Ji, were not happy. Although the enemy''s sneak attack was abrupt, it was only a matter of time before Dakang was able to cope with these small countries. In a deeper sense, although there are risks in this expedition, once the victory is won, the military achievements will not be illusory. It can also be said that it is so easy for those Tartars to dare to fight against Dakang when the new and old emperors change. How could they be taken by the loyal Duke. He has made a lot of contributions. He has been said to be ill at home. Will you excuse him this time?


    So they all added that Shen Guogong was not in good health, and that he was old. In short, they didn''t want Shen Mingchang to be commander-in-chief this time.


    But the Emperor didn''t think so. Naturally, the emperor trusted his father-in-law more than the generals in the palace. In particular, today''s empress Zhonggong has two legitimate sons, which makes the emperor feel more secure. He firmly believes that for the sake of himself, his daughter and two grandchildren, Duke Shen will surely beat the enemy down.


    Thinking of this, the emperor looked at Shen Ze with a little sadness. "Shen Tongling, I''m busy with government affairs these days, and I haven''t seen my father-in-law for a while. How is his old man recently?"

 Chapter 407

    Under such circumstances, what can Shen Ze say? Although his family doesn''t need to steal the credit of others, it''s obvious that they have military merit now. Can''t they push it out?


    So Shen Ze respectfully replied, "tell the emperor that I just asked for my uncle''s peace yesterday. Although he was a little sad, he was still strong. It was my uncle''s lifelong belief to protect my family and defend my country. If the emperor sent me, I''m sure my uncle would not shirk it. "


    At this time, I don''t know who said, "Duke Shen has leg disease."


    It''s hard for Shen Ze to answer this. The other party has dug a hole. No matter how he returns, it seems that he is easy to fall into the limelight.


    The emperor looked at the man and felt a little displeased. At the same time, Ding''an came out and said, "the people who are in charge of the army don''t have to go to the front. Although Shen Guogong has leg disease, he just walks a little slower. If the emperor still has doubts in his heart, he might as well ask the Duke of Shen to enter the palace and ask him face to face. " The emperor readily agreed and sent his servants to pass the edict.


    Ji Guogong scolded Ding Anbo in his heart for being a slippery old man. There was no one who could control his speed at the sight of the wind! Then he turned his head and thought that although he had supported his Royal Highness the king of Chu for many years, the emperor was not so careful. He would not go back to the past now, would he? Your nephew, his Royal Highness the king of Yue, has been showing no signs with the emperor in the past two years. Don''t think that if he flatters the Emperor today, he will look up at you.


    Ding Anbo didn''t think so much about it, but as the saying goes, "he who knows current affairs is a hero.". Now that the new emperor ascends the throne, there is always something in the court that he can''t control for a while. If he doesn''t show his loyalty at this time, can he really wait at home to be robbed?


    At the moment, the emperor was worried about the border war, and had no time to think about the bowels of these ministers. After a while, the Duke of Shen came down to Qianyuan hall under the guidance of the servant.


    As a result, it is needless to say that Shen Guogong''s intention to retire at the beginning of his life was to hide his talents and keep his low profile. The provincial government''s hesitation in the court hindered the emperor''s eyes. In case of being instigated by villains to say "high achievements and shocking the master", his efforts for so many years would be in vain.


    Only now that the new emperor ascended the throne and made it clear that he trusted him did he want him to go to daningwei. Not to mention that his leg disease is not as severe as the external claims, even if he is really lame, the emperor will let him go, and he must go too!


    The Duke of Shen showed his loyalty immediately, and the new emperor also said a lot from the bottom of his heart. Because of the time constraint, the army started all night. Shen Guogong didn''t even have the time to go home and pack up, so he went to the barracks to inspect.


    As early as when people came to the palace, Han had a premonition in his heart. Later, after getting the letter of approval, he quickly packed his bags and sent them to the barracks.


    Leisurely heard the news, also busily picked up some herbs to send in the past. After meeting her, Han said angrily, "what kind of medicinal materials do you have at home? How can you send them all the way?"


    Leisurely smile back, "I know there is no lack of good medicine in my aunt''s home, but I brought some patent medicine. On weekdays, it''s made by my cousin according to the prescription, mostly for hemostasis and detoxification, and a small part for wind cold and wind heat. Xianggong once took it to the imperial army to test. Although the medicine effect was not as good as that in the palace, it was better than that in the pharmacy outside. There is no eye for swords on the battlefield. Let uncle bring more of this, and we can feel at ease. "


    After listening to her words, Han opened the package and went to have a look. There were small wooden boxes inside. The medicine in each box was different. There was a label on it with the name and efficacy of the medicine written on it. There are more than 20 kinds of patent medicines in Han''s family. It can be said that some common diseases and minor injuries can be dealt with with with the patent medicines here.


    Han just nodded and said, "although I have some, they are not as complete as you. On the battlefield, these are life-saving things. I won''t be polite to you any more. " With that, he tied up the burden again and ordered people to put Haosheng in an ebony box together with the salute to Duke Shen. The emperor officially made the Duke of Shen a marshal of jingbeida, who was in charge of the defense of daningwei. Even though it was getting dark, the situation in daningwei was not optimistic, and the army started immediately. As for food, grass and military supplies, they can be slightly delayed.


    Leisurely husband and wife accompanied han to the city gate to see off Shen Guogong.


    Han and Shen Guogong have been together for many years. Even though they have had a grudge, their feelings are very deep. Different from his last expedition to the northwest, Shen Mingchang has grown old in recent years. He has a few white hairs on his temples, which makes him old. Han sighed, "if it''s superfluous, I won''t say it. I just hope my husband can return safely."


    Shen Mingchang patted her hand, "don''t worry, I will come back." It''s just a simple sentence, but it''s still heavy from Shen Guogong''s mouth.


    In particular, there are relatives and relatives who come to see them off. Some of them are calm and some of them are not. Someone began to cry in a low voice. At first, it was only sporadic. Later, more and more people began to cry.


    Even leisurely also infected by the heavy atmosphere, can''t help but wet his eyes. How many people have fought in ancient times? Civil servants are always envious of the promotion of military generals. However, they won the military service and the future with their lives?


    Shen Mingchang took a deep breath and said, "I''m in a hurry to leave. I have to say goodbye to the queen in the future. When you are free to enter the palace, please give my regards to the empress. " Han nodded his head.


    Shen Guogong looked at Shen Ze again and said, "after I leave, the internal and external affairs of the family will be handed over to you." Shen Ze knew what he meant and solemnly answered.


    Seeing that it was not early, Shen Guogong ordered the troops to move forward at full speed, expecting to arrive at Wucheng in three hours. This time, he personally led 70000 elite soldiers drawn from the capital camp and Zhili Prefecture, and 30000 elite soldiers from Tanggu will go directly to daningwei from there to join him.


    Shen Guogong put on his armor, turned and stepped on his horse. With a wave of his hand, the bugle of assembly sounded in the army. All the soldiers said goodbye to their relatives and were ready to go. The army of Dakang was under strict control. The assembly call was only half a quarter of an hour, and the whole army had been assembled.


    Shen Guogong once again took a look at the Shen family. He nodded his head to this side. Then he took the lead and ran away


    After a long time, leisurely think of this farewell scene, still sigh, some things have their own destiny.

 Chapter 408

    It was not until the army had gone away that they could no longer be seen that Han turned to go home.


    Leisurely came forward to comfort a few words, and asked, "if you have something to do, just let someone call me, and you should take care of your body."


    Han said with a smile, "don''t worry. I know it in my heart. If a man goes to fight in front of him, I will help him to guard the rear area at home, so that he will not have any worries. "


    Although Han seems very strong, but leisurely couple in the end not at ease. It''s just that both of them have a big business to do. It''s impossible for them to go to the government to accompany Han. After returning home, leisurely discussed with Shen Xi. The next day, he sent her to Han''s company.


    Leisurely thought, Shen Hong although sensible, in the end is a boy, not more intimate than a girl. The two young grannies in the government are both concubines'' daughter-in-law, and leisurely knows that they are not very popular with Han. Sister Hui is still a young girl who needs to be taken care of by others. She would be better off if she had Shen Xi, a niece, talking with Han and being open-minded all the time. As for women''s courses, at their age, they have finished teaching basic courses, and the rest of them can still practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at home. As for the side of the etiquette and so on, is it difficult for a female student to compare with Han''s husband and wife?


    The next day, when leisurely sent Shen Xi to the government, he met the second wife who also sent Shen Xiang. Originally, er Fang and the Han family were going to get married this year, so the marriage would be in a hurry. Unfortunately, if we catch up with national filial piety, the marriage can only be postponed.


    Let alone one year, even three years, the Han family is willing to wait. After all, the difference between the crown princess''s cousin and the Queen''s cousin is not one and a half stars.


    Leisurely see two aunts and Shen Xiang, busy salute, and then said with a smile, "did not expect this time, I and two aunts even thought of going together."


    The second wife said with a smile, "isn''t it? It''s hard for us to think of one, but your aunt is not willing to


    Han said with a smile, "I''m not happy anymore. It''s just that such a beautiful girl should go to school and go back to do dowry. I have sons and daughters-in-law, and there are so many servant women in my family. Who can''t talk with me and use them to accompany me? "


    Leisurely and the second wife looked at each other, and then said with a smile, "my second aunt and I brought them here, which was selfish. Who are you? The daughter of the Marquis, the wife of the Duke of the Kingdom, and the mother of the empress, are no better than the gentleman in the school? In particular, Xiang sister, the marriage has been decided, can be in her mother''s time is not much. You are an old man''s aunt. How can you say that without taking this opportunity to give more advice to your niece and daughter? My sister Xi is here to join in the fun. You are free to teach or not. "


    Han was made to laugh and cry by her, "you monkey! Well, since you are willing to be your mother and sister-in-law, I''m happy to have two girls with me


    When Shen Tian heard that his father was in charge of the army, he was not worried. Yesterday, I almost went out of the palace to see you off in person, but I was stopped by people around me. Now that she has become a queen, she has become the mother of the nation. In the eyes of others, she seems to represent infinite glory and power. But only she and the people around her knew how many invisible swords were hidden behind the glory.


    Less than two months after emperor Dahang''s funeral, some people were ready to move. In the past half a month, in the name of greeting the empress dowager, the emperor has "happened to" meet two girls of the Zhong family and the Gu family in the harem.


    But Dakang has always ruled by benevolence and filial piety. As the king of a country, the emperor naturally has to set a good example. Therefore, he has to keep his father''s filial piety for three years before he can prepare for the draft.


    Shen Tian sneered. The girls of these two families are not young any more. After waiting for another three years, they will be old girls. In general, the patriarchal princes can marry freely only after one year of national filial piety. Shen Tian was curious. He didn''t know why the two families would delay their daughter''s marriage a year later? These thoughts just flashed in Shen Tian''s mind, and she threw them aside. Now what worries her most is her father who went to Beiguan. However, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, she can only silently pray for her father''s safe return in the bottom of her heart.


    Shen Tian worried that Han was at home, so he sent the palace to the government to have a look. Shen Tian was quietly relieved when he heard that the two cousins were accompanying his mother in the government. Her parents didn''t have to worry about her for the time being, so she put all her heart and soul into palace affairs.


    Although the Empress Dowager''s decentralization was very simple, some of his concubines stayed in the palace longer than the Empress Dowager. Many people still hold a lot of power in their hands. Otherwise, the girls of the Zhong family and the Gu family would not have met the emperor so easily. Shen Tian would be surprised if no one in the palace delivered a letter to them!


    To tell you the truth, Shen Tian doesn''t care that these girls have gone all out to seduce her husband, but now she is the master of the harem, so she will never allow anyone to be out of her control in this mu of land. They are only the widows of the former Emperor. If they were more peaceful, she would not be stingy of the money. If she becomes a widow and doesn''t know how to restrain herself, then she doesn''t mind hitting each other.


    Over there, Han left leisurely and his second wife to have a light meal in the house. After dinner, Han asked people to take two girls down to settle things. He and leisurely and others say some home gossip.


    Han said with some regret that "because of the emperor''s funeral, the good days of Xiang girls have to be postponed. It''s a pity."


    The second wife replied with a smile, "I don''t think it''s bad. I thought the wedding date was a little urgent. Now that the marriage is delayed, I have enough time to prepare some detailed things for Xiang''er. "


    Han asked, "have you got all the furniture?"


    The second wife nodded and said, "the wood was prepared early in the morning. It''s all red and sour branches in water. When I decided to get married a few years ago, I hastened to find a good craftsman to do it. I was expecting to get married this year, so the artisans rush to work day and night. Now they have done it. Just put it there to dry. "


    Hearing the words, Han said with a smile, "the red sour branches are neat, but they are not as elegant as red sandalwood and yellow pear. Well, when Tian got married, your elder brother got some Huanghua pear wood from Hainan. Now I have plenty of time. I''ll ask someone to give her a set of desks and a Luohan couch. "


    After listening to this, the second wife said, "since my sister-in-law is so willing, I won''t be polite to her. I was going to paint a set of red sandalwood passionflower six square table and a red sandalwood floor panel for her dowry. Now, with more of what my sister-in-law gave me, the furniture of Xiang''s sister-in-law is extremely decent. "


    When the three said Shen Xiang''s dowry again, they heard the second wife sigh, "it''s easy to say, but the wedding date has been postponed for some days, so there''s no need to worry about the dowry. Now I''m worried about the other two little ancestors. "


    Leisurely didn''t respond for a moment, so she asked, "who is the second aunt talking about?"

 Chapter 409

    Hearing leisurely inquiry, the second wife sighed and said, "who else can it be? Aren''t they my nieces? "


    Han met her brother''s daughter-in-law and knew that was not reasonable. "You''re just an aunt, no matter what."


    The second wife shook her head and said, "if I don''t care, these children will really be finished. After all, they are all the blood of our Zhou family. If we don''t teach them well, it will affect the reputation of Xiang girls. Among them, the eldest sister is still able to take the hand, the others are not on the table. By the way, speaking of this, I still have something to ask my sister-in-law to lend me the mother song who teaches the rules in your family. "


    Han hesitated and said, "mother song has always been responsible for teaching the rules of the servant girls at home. I''m afraid it''s not good for her to teach the girls? What''s more, she always has a heavy hand. If you beat the girls hard, don''t you feel bad? "


    The second wife said in a deep voice, "this meeting can''t care whether it hurts or not. These girls, one by one, don''t worry. They have to be fierce. Taking advantage of the fact that there are still a few years to go before the marriage talks, we should make a quick adjustment, and the future of the province will come out of the door and start to make a demon. At that time, the reputation of a large family will be ruined. "


    When it comes to fame, it''s obvious that Han cares more about it than his second wife. After all, her daughter is now the queen. If something bad happens to her sisters, she still doesn''t know how to be criticized in the palace.


    Thinking of this, Han said, "you''re right. But Mother Song didn''t teach the girl. I''m afraid she didn''t have much experience. I''ll let mammy Yu go with her. Mammy Yu is in charge of teaching and mammy song is in charge of supervising. How about that? "


    The second wife knew that mammy Yu was a retired female official in the palace. She used to teach a few common women etiquette in this house. What else she didn''t want to do? She was grateful immediately.


    After solving the problem of raising Mammy, the second wife was much more relaxed. She turned to see leisurely drinking tea there. He said with a smile, "nephew and daughter-in-law, my aunt has something to ask for your help."


    Leisurely almost not choked by her numb tone, she only said with a smile, "what''s the matter with Auntie two? Are we still using such empty heads?"


    The second wife was angry with her and said, "I''ll just say it, just a few small ones. My eldest niece is only half a year younger than Xiang''er. After the new year is 18 years old, this country filial piety delay another year, a little delay, to 20 or so. The child''s life is hard, and it''s even harder to get married when he''s older. Therefore, I thought that Huizi would secretly search for her first, and if there is a suitable one, I would decide it in private first, and then wait for the national filial piety to celebrate directly. Wouldn''t it save some time? "


    Leisurely answer a way "the aunt says of in reason, just you and I say this, don''t want me to help to say a marriage to big girl Zhou?"


    The second wife patted her hand and said, "my niece''s daughter-in-law is smart. You can make a guess!" Then zhengse said, "my brother has no fame. He has only one donated from Qipin. Fortunately, my father was still a five grade official at the beginning, and my niece was just a lady of the official family, so the rules were OK. Her biological mother left early, and her stepmother was so shameful. Although the child''s character and appearance are outstanding, it''s just a matter of family background. I don''t think it''s those scholarly families, even the ordinary serious farming and reading people may not be worthy of him. Therefore, I want to show you that if there are people of the same age in the families of those personal lieutenants under zege''er, as long as they are of good character and willing to bear hardships and make progress, it doesn''t matter if their family background is a little thinner. "


    This is not difficult. I nodded leisurely and said, "I didn''t pay attention to these before. Since my second aunt trusted me so much, I will visit you when I go back."


    After listening to the conversation, Han said with a smile, "that big girl, I''m still steady and sensible, but she has a good character. In this case, why don''t you find a match for her in our family? "


    The second wife quickly replied, "my sister-in-law thought that I had never thought about it. She just looked around and found that none of these children was of the right age. There are several sisters in law in the clan who want to say goodbye to their relatives, but I don''t like their careful thinking. " Han nodded. "That''s true."


    Who knows leisurely hears this, clap a head to say with a smile "look at my brain, there is a suitable one in front of me, how can I use it to look outside?"


    On hearing this, the second wife asked, "who are you talking about?"


    Leisurely said with a smile, "brother Jiang, who has been following my uncle all the time, what does his aunt think of him?"


    The second wife frowned and said, "I''ve only heard about this child, but I''ve never seen him. I don''t know how I am?"


    One side of the Han said with a smile, "I know that this child can endure hardships and do things well. He has been helping leisurely run the shop, hasn''t he?"


    Leisurely return a way "I so two shops, also not much matter. It''s not that Xianggong doesn''t have an arm around him. Since last year, he has been around Xianggong, running errands and taking care of some common affairs. " Then he glanced at the second wife''s face, and then said, "my husband told me a few days ago that although Jiang Ge''er didn''t succeed in his studies, he still had a look and was more stable than his peers. After two years, I will donate a family background to him, which can be regarded as the friendship between the elders of the two families. "


    Hearing that Shen Jiang was following Shen Ze now, the second wife was willing. Although she said she didn''t care about each other''s wealth, the man always had to have some family background, and he always had to raise his wife and children. There are many people in the Shen family who depend on the government. Most of them are poor. Who else is willing to let their good children run errands for others? However, there are several kinds of people who are dependent on Shen Ze. If they can be brought around by Shen Ze, it means that they are somewhat smart. If she can really donate a family background in the future, even if she is a minor official, she and her relatives can also explain.


    So, the second wife said, "well, I believe you two have bad eyes. You can''t take them with you for so many years. When I have a chance to meet this child, I will have a score in my heart. "


    Leisurely from is one breath agreed to come down. She was also looking forward to this marriage, or she would not work so hard to say good things for brother Jiang. In fact, as Shen Jiang, it''s hard to find a daughter-in-law. It''s really hard to find a daughter-in-law. It''s a girl from a small family. Her upbringing is poor, and some of her family members don''t look up to his family background.


    However, some of Shen Ze''s colleagues wanted to marry his concubine daughter or concubine sister to him, but they were all pushed by Shen Ze. Don''t say that the common girls of these families have no education. No matter how good the girls are, Shen Ze doesn''t want to deal with them?


    Why, let his brother to intermarry with his subordinates, there is a suspicion of clique. Shen Ze naturally won''t be stupid here. Even Shen Jiang is smart. Some people see that Shen Ze is not easy to make sense. They think Shen Jiang is young and easy to fool. In private, they try to provoke him. Shen Jiang dissolves them one by one, but he doesn''t offend these people. Shen Ze secretly praised this ingenuity.


    In the evening, leisurely told Shen Ze about it. Shen Ze touched his chin and said, "second aunt''s niece? What about character? I don''t look very sensible at her nephew. "

 Chapter 410

    Seeing that the other party was so suspicious of his own eyes, Shen Ze gave a leisurely and angry look and said angrily, "look what you said, brother Jiang, I grew up watching. If that girl is not good, can I mention this marriage?"


    In fact, Shen Ze said it subconsciously, but he didn''t expect to provoke his daughter-in-law. He quickly made up his mind and said, "I just asked casually. Is my daughter-in-law''s eyes boastful? Just looking at your husband and me, others will know how brilliant and long-term you are, madam. Few of you can compare with you when you look at the whole capital... "


    Nice compliments came out of Shen Ze''s mouth one by one, which made him boast that there was something in the sky that others didn''t have. Leisurely crying and laughing to stop Shen Ze, "OK, the older you get, the more unstable you get. I don''t know where to learn such sweet words. They only fool people. "


    Shen Ze said solemnly, "how can this be a trick? It''s just the truth. " Know this is the other party to coax her, leisurely mouth although "hum" a, but still can''t help smiling on the face. She raised her eyes and saw that the servant girls were not in the room. Otherwise, she didn''t know how to laugh at them.


    Seeing that the topic was far away, leisurely and busy, she came back again. "Don''t worry. I''ve seen it coldly. This girl of Zhou has a plan in her heart, or she can''t spend so many years under Mrs. Zhou''s stepmother. As for brother Jiang''s life experience, if he has been in trouble all the time, it''s all right. If one day he''s not careful and prospers, his sister-in-law is not a good friend. There must be a good wife in the house who can help. In a short time, it''s hard to understand the twists and turns of small households. In the current situation of elder brother Jiang Er, except for those who have ulterior motives, the rich family, even the common women, are afraid to give him permission. I''ve watched it in private for two years, and there''s really no one more suitable than Miss Zhou. "


    Seeing that Shen Ze was still noncommittal, he said with a leisurely smile, "but now you don''t have to worry about brother Jiang. It''s not certain that other girls will take a fancy to him


    "What is that? How clever our brother Jiang is! Why don''t those people try to recruit him as their son-in-law? " Shen Ze said with some displeasure.


    This man is good at everything, but he has some short guards. Leisurely also does not care about him, sighs the mouth air way "these people hit what abacus you do not know?"? Don''t say brother Jiang is clever. He is a fool. He will be willing to be a concubine in order to flatter you. Jiang Ge''er is our own child. We look at everything naturally. However, for one thing, he has no permanent property, and for another, he is a donator. He has no fame and no reward. He can only start from a junior official of eight or nine grades. What is he in other people''s eyes? No matter how poor Miss Zhou was, she was also the eldest daughter of the fifth grade official, the eldest daughter of the eighth grade official, and a serious official lady. In terms of birth alone, it''s more than enough for brother Jiang. "


    Shen Ze sighed, "I don''t dislike the origin of Miss Zhou, but the situation of the Zhou family is really chaotic. Miss Zhou has no sisters. Once she is out of the cabinet in the future, it will be good for her family not to drag her down, let alone help her. But brother Jiang''s elder brother doesn''t know how to help him. What''s more, the wife''s family, who doesn''t have much help, won''t it be difficult in the future? "


    Leisurely just want to refute, but look up to see Shen Ze brow locked appearance, had to swallow words back. He just said with a strong smile, "look, we''ve been talking here for a long time, but we haven''t asked Jiang Ge''er what he thinks. It''s still early for this meeting. Why don''t you call him over and ask him? "


    Shen Jiang lives in the front yard. When he hears leisurely and his wife calling him, he thinks it''s something important so late. He puts on his clothes and comes over in a hurry.


    When he got to the room, Shen Jiang was relieved to see that they were both friendly. Leisurely smile to give him a seat, and let the servant girl tea, waiting for the tea, but also waved the servant girls are sent down.


    Seeing that Shen Jiang looked a little confused, he said with a leisurely smile, "I didn''t ask you to come here for anything else. If you are old this year, it''s time to talk about marriage. I''ve heard people say that you are very popular in the Yamen. Many people want you to be their son-in-law. "


    Shen Jiang scratched his head and said, "my sister-in-law is joking. Those people don''t want to flatter me? Stupid as I am, I can still understand the idea. " Leisurely busy way "you can see these, that is not stupid. I''ve got a girl here. I''ll tell you about it first, and you''ll listen to it. " Then she told me about Miss Zhou. Then he said, "although there are some shortcomings in her family, fortunately, she knows the root and the bottom of her character. She knows better than other girls. We are a family, and I''m telling you the good and the bad. If you think it''s intentional, I''ll arrange for you to meet. If it''s not, it''s OK. "


    Although the mouth said so, leisurely heart really did not expect the other party will refuse. So when Shen Jiang said with shame, "I''m sorry, but I still want to practice for two years, and I don''t plan to start a family for a while. What''s more, I don''t know how many people are looking at us. I don''t want to damage my brother and sister''s reputation because of my own affairs. "


    Although the words are euphemistic, but leisurely know that the other side this is a clear refusal. Although she felt some regret in her heart, she didn''t say any more. She just said with a smile, "it''s a good thing that you have ambition. Since you don''t want to, it''s OK. I''ll search for you when I''m out of filial piety. "


    Then, Shen Ze and Shen Jiang said a few words of gossip, then sent him down. When he left, Shen Ze was a little sad and said, "if you really like the girls of the Zhou family, you''d better find a way to let them see each other in a few days. I can''t say that brother Jiang would like to. I can''t let you waste your time. "


    Leisurely gently shook his head and said, "it''s all right, it''s not sweet to try to change things. Looking at brother Jiang''s appearance, I didn''t see the girl''s background last week. In this case, I don''t need to talk about it any more. I''m just a matchmaker for the first time, and I''m a little bit disappointed. "


    To tell you the truth, it was a bit unexpected. She thought Miss Zhou was good. Even if her stepmother was a little out of tune, what was the point? What can''t be tolerated? Even Shen Jiang''s family has many shortcomings. I didn''t expect that the two brothers were not happy.


    As a last resort, leisurely had to go to the second room in person and embellished Shen Jiang''s words several times. He only said, "I didn''t expect that the child was a man of backbone. He only said that he had no wealth now and didn''t dare to delay Miss Zhou. I advised him that it was all right, but he insisted on waiting until he had finished his house and property. The child is so stubborn that I can''t help it. "


    The second wife had to be a little disappointed. When she came back yesterday, she asked her niece in private. Niece was not picky, as long as the other party was progressive. I thought it was certain, but Shen Jiang didn''t like it


    Seeing that the second wife was not worried, leisurely she had to persuade her, "aunt, don''t worry. Cousin Zhou''s marriage is on me. I will find a good marriage for her."

 Chapter 411

    The second wife is also an individual. Wen Yan said with a smile, "I know you must have done your best, but this kind of thing also depends on fate. Since they have no fate, they have no choice but to do it. I never thought that brother Jiang was a man with great ambition. In the past, I underestimated him. In the future, I only wish he would become a talent as soon as possible and find a good wife of the first class. " My heart is secretly Tucao, I would like to see what kind of fairy this kid can make complaints about.


    Leisurely always feels sorry for the failure of the marriage. When I see Miss Zhou, I feel even more regretful when I see her still smiling and generous. With this calm, this girl deserves a look. Maybe brother Jiang has missed a good marriage this time.


    Leisurely never likes to make a slip of the tongue. Since she has made a promise in front of her second wife, she decides to find a good family for Miss Zhou. Just for a moment, there was no suitable family, so leisurely put it aside.


    From the second room, leisurely went directly to the palace of King Zhou to see Princess Zhou who was about to give birth. Princess Zhou was extremely difficult. She met with several accidents and almost couldn''t keep it. For the sake of the child, even crying, Princess Zhou only went for three days, and then she kept the baby in the house.


    The two met for the first time since the emperor''s death. Seeing Princess Zhou''s extremely thin and gloomy face, leisurely was startled. If it wasn''t for her tummy, leisurely thought she had a miscarriage, and her face was too ugly. Leisurely asked with concern, "what''s the matter with you? Last time I watched in the palace, although I was a little thin, I was not so haggard. How can this son''s face be so gloomy? "


    Princess Zhou faintly smile "nothing, just a little big reaction, can''t eat things, how can face look good?"


    Luo Ying, Princess Zhou''s servant girl beside her, said angrily, "my wife also knows that our princess''s baby is very difficult. Originally, she had a good tonic to support, and she can still carry it. But since the first emperor''s trip, the house of residence has the final say of the deputy chief of the household. Madam may not know that Gu''s family is the uncle''s family of our princess''s stepmother. The princess and her stepmother were not in harmony, but they didn''t expect that they would cheat too much. For the reason that emperor Dahang passed away and the palace was busy, we held on to the rules of our palace. Even if they were issued, they were useless. Our princess didn''t pay attention to them, and they became more and more arrogant. The bird''s nests I sent two days ago are all crumbs. To put it mildly, let alone the princess, I don''t care about them... "


    Luo Ying had to say that she was stopped by Princess Zhou. "OK, you can say less. Mrs. Shen has been here for a long time. You are not going to pour tea, but you are talking nonsense here. Why don''t you pour tea soon? " In this way, Luo Ying''s talent has gone on.


    Princess Zhou rubbed her eyebrows and said, "my former big servant girls have sent them to get married. Although Luo Ying is loyal, she talks too much and says nothing."


    Leisurely frowned and asked, "do those people in the house really go too far with what she said?"


    Princess Zhou sneered, "these people are all watching dishes. Originally, the treatment of the prince and the emperor''s brothers was different. Our Lord and his majesty had some disagreements in the past. With the help of taking care of the family, those villains were naturally too busy to go down the well. "


    Smell speech, leisurely stand up and say "these people are deceiving people too much, how can the emperor be like this" the person who must repay, I go into the palace to tell the empress


    When she said that she was going to go out, she was suddenly pulled by Princess Zhou''s sleeve and said, "when are you so upset? Sit down first."


    Leisurely thought that she had some scruples in her heart, so she quickly comforted her and said, "don''t worry, your royal highness and the emperor used to have some disagreements, but his majesty has just ascended the throne, and it''s time to win over people''s hearts. He will never embarrass the palace of King Zhou at this time. It must have been done by those villains behind your Majesty''s back. I''ll tell the empress that I''ll treat these villains. "


    Princess Zhou helplessly supported her forehead. "You are really smart. If you really go to the palace to complain, I will be busy for a while." Said, picked up the handkerchief to wipe in the face spare time place, originally some gray complexion unexpectedly changed white tender. This is the first time that I''ve seen people dress up in beauty. She asked in surprise, "what''s the matter? Do you mean to make yourself so haggard? "


    Princess Zhou did not answer. Instead, she sat down at the dresser, picked up some small boxes and wiped them on her face. Her face turned pale and haggard again. If it wasn''t for her own eyes, leisurely couldn''t believe that her haggard face was made up.


    Seeing her shocked look, Princess Zhou chuckled and said, "you forget, I told you last time that I was a stylist or a makeup expert in ancient costume dramas. What kind of makeup can''t be made up?"


    Leisurely then breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you were really sick. You were scared to death. I''m just going back to collect some bird''s nest for you


    Princess Zhou picked her eyebrows and said, "if you want to send it, I won''t stop you. I know that you are the most popular person in Beijing. I''m afraid you''ve been soft handed in receiving gifts, haven''t you? It''s just that the tonic''s effect is not as bad as the rumor. Take bird''s nest as an example. Its nutritional value is not much higher than Tremella fuciformis. In fact, I don''t like to eat those things. It''s just bird''s saliva. What can I eat? Otherwise, if you really want to eat, you can''t buy it with your own money? "


    This is also true, but leisurely or some doubts, "then why do you do this?" What''s the haggard? What has the final say is that Zhou Wang is lying in bed half dead and alive. This week, the Royal Palace is the one who has the final say.


    Princess Zhou patted her stomach. "What else can I do for? It''s not for the little thing in her stomach. You have to plan for him. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, I won''t be involved in this time''s dragon work, but I can think about it next time. "


    As soon as the voice fell, leisurely then some understood. She was surprised at the quickness of Princess Zhou''s news, and she learned from Fang Xinsu about Gu''s plans. I didn''t expect Princess Zhou to be able to find out, and obviously planned to use her own pit to take care of the family. Leisurely light frown tip of the brow "you think too far also some?"


    Princess Zhou took a look at her, then said faintly, "I''m afraid that lady in your family thinks much earlier than me. I used to think that I''ve been well-informed and resourceful for two generations. I''m afraid there are few intelligent women in this world. But this empress really makes me look at her with new eyes. I can only sigh for her eyes. I believe that this person, one day, will stand on the top of the Forbidden City. And I, even if not for the sake of children, can personally participate in such a regime change, it''s not a waste to go through this time. "

 Chapter 412

    After listening to Princess Zhou''s words, leisurely only felt that he had gone through it in vain. Take a look at other people''s lofty aspirations, and then take a look at yourself, who has always been at ease. With a gentle sigh, people are really different from others.


    However, she was worried and asked, "I know you are ambitious, but you never thought about it, in case..."


    Princess Zhou interrupted, "there won''t be a day. Your husband''s family, Han''s family, Fang''s family, and others are hidden behind. These people have been planning for so many years, and they will never give up easily. What''s more, even if you lose, so what? Anyway, this lifetime is just picked up. " With that, Princess Zhou looked at leisurely and said, "I don''t think you want queen Shen to lose, do you?"


    Leisurely wry smile way "that is of course, if the empress loses, what good end can my family have?"


    Princess Zhou sighed, "yes, even if it''s not for ourselves, we can''t shrink back. Therefore, we should not miss any chance to bring down the enemy. This time, we have to let the Gu family hurt their vitality.


    Leisurely back to the way "I am very happy now, you and I are standing on the same boat, or else it will hurt the vitality of our family." Then he took a deep breath and said with a smile, "well, since you''re not in a big way, I''m relieved. If there''s anything I can do for you, just ask


    Princess Zhou shook her head and said, "you don''t have to worry about this. It''s not suitable for you to be involved in this matter. Don''t worry. I''ve already arranged it. The empress also said hello. Then you can just follow the empress''s will. "


    He nodded leisurely and said, "OK, I see. It''s just that you are not alone now. You must take care of your children and don''t waste too much time. "


    Originally leisurely also wanted to ask Princess Zhou if there was a suitable single guy here, but seeing that she was pregnant with a child, she still thought so hard, so she didn''t mention it again. After some gossip, leisurely went home.


    The next day, Jiang Gongren came to leisurely to thank him. Leisurely this just remembered unconsciously this year''s scholar had tried, and Jiang Gongren''s brother finally passed the scholar examination this time. Not to mention how happy Jiang''s brothers and sisters are, Jiang Gongren thanks leisurely a lot. He points to a burden he brought with him and says, "as soon as the list comes out, my mother is the happiest in the family. She knows that it''s my wife who helped me a lot this time. Her mother says she has nothing to thank. This bag of Hua Jiao and Xue Yan was sent back from the south by my sister. They are all excellent things, My mother asked me to bring it to my wife. It''s more or less my intention. Please accept it with a smile. "


    Hearing that it was the old man''s things, he said leisurely, "since it''s my sister''s intention, I should keep a good life for the old man. I''m a little embarrassed for giving it to me."


    Jiang Gongren said with a smile, "my younger brother won the entrance examination of a scholar, but my son is waiting in front of him. I often see him. I don''t have to worry about him day and night. This is the best tonic for my mother. My mother is much younger these days, which is something she did not dare to think of in the past. If it''s not for my wife''s help, how can I have today? My wife must not refuse. "


    Seeing her sincerity, she took it with a smile and praised Jiang Xiucai a few times. "A scholar of your younger brother''s age can be regarded as a young talent. Now that you are a scholar master, and you have a good marriage, your school will be complete."


    Jiang Gongren echoed, "isn''t it? Now as long as we give him a good marriage, get married early next year and have children, our family will be at ease. "


    Leisurely smile way "your younger brother is so talented, can say a wishful marriage certainly."


    After Jiang Gongren left, leisurely people invited Yulian to come over and said to her, "look, these things are clean?"


    After careful examination, Yulian said, "it''s all very good glue and bird''s nest, no problem. It''s the delivery man, isn''t it? How can you be so careful? " Leisurely shook his head and said, "that''s not true. It''s just that I think these things are good and I want to give them away. After all, it''s something imported. It''s better to be cautious. " Then, people sent the things to King Zhou''s house.


    A few days later, a big event happened in the capital. Princess Zhou suffered from dystocia and deficiency of both qi and blood. The imperial doctor said it would take more than 50 years to slice the ginseng to save her life. But the old ginseng stored in King Zhou''s mansion has been consumed by King Zhou in recent years, and there are only some red ginseng in the mansion, which has a poor effect on Tonifying Qi. The servants of King Zhou''s house had to go to the house of internal affairs to get the ginseng in this month. Unexpectedly, the Ministry of internal affairs refused to issue a copy on the pretext that time was not up.


    Seeing that the road was blocked, the next people went to the palace to see the queen, but they were stopped by the guard outside the gate of Dakang. Princess Zhou''s servant girls begged, but the guards just refused to accommodate. One of them, Caixia, accidentally knocked her head on the stone slab and died on the spot!


    This happened to be seen by Princess Leyi, who was about to go to the palace to ask for peace. She heard that Princess Zhou, who was having a difficult labor, was also involved in it. Princess Leyi did not dare to neglect it, so she rushed in and told the queen and the Empress Dowager.


    Hearing that it was a matter of great importance, the empress quickly assigned two imperial doctors to the palace of King Zhou, and asked the female official to take a hundred year old ginseng and many supplements to the palace of King Zhou to visit her. Fortunately, Princess Fu had a big life. Although she hurt herself, she still struggled to give birth to a baby boy.


    When the news of the safety of Princess Zhou''s mother and son reached the palace, the emperor was relieved. How long has he been on the throne? If his brother''s daughter-in-law, who is in difficult labor, dies two times for the sake of a ginseng plant, he still doesn''t know how to be ridiculed by the world?


    Thinking of this, the emperor frowned and asked the queen, "what''s the matter? Why can''t you even find a ginseng in sisao''s mansion? "


    Shen Tian sneered in his heart, but on his face he said, "I''ve just heard that because my fourth brother has been ill several times these days, now I''m almost hanging my life with old ginseng. My fourth sister-in-law is eating all the good ginseng in the house with my fourth brother, so I can''t find old ginseng in the big palace. It''s all my fault. My mother is not well these days. The eldest princess has been ill for some time. Chen Meiren''s baby is not stable. I was just looking at these things, but I forgot that my fourth sister-in-law was about to give birth, and I didn''t send someone to see her. After all, it''s my sister-in-law. I''m afraid I''ll ask too much, which will make my sister-in-law feel uneasy. I thought everything was ok, but I never thought that the slave of the house of internal affairs was so bold and dared to take the place of the royal family. I really didn''t pay attention to the patriarchal clan law. "


    After hearing this, the emperor realized that Shen Tian''s face was also a bit haggard. Then he thought of the constant events and small things in the womb. As soon as the queen took over the harem, she must be very busy. In addition, her brother and daughter-in-law are really bad, always staring at the eldest brother''s house. In this way, the emperor changed his color. "I blame the empress wrongly. I blame the slaves for this. Gu Qing, in particular, has failed to live up to my trust. "

 Chapter 413

    Hearing the emperor''s dissatisfaction with Gu''s family, Shen Tian didn''t go down the well. Instead, he gently advised, "don''t be angry with the emperor. Mr. Gu has been loyal to the emperor for many years. If you want to look back here, you just want to fight for the emperor''s injustice, so you deliberately wait for the princes. It turns out that this is a common thing, but I didn''t expect that this time I was having a difficult labor with my fourth sister-in-law. The fourth sister-in-law almost died of one corpse and two deaths. Her servant girl was also killed. It was only in and out of the palace that there was so much trouble. "


    Emperor chongtian knocked on the table with his fingers and said in a deep voice, "I have told Gu Qing many times that it is better to do more than less. Everything will wait until the court is stable. This matter had a very bad influence in the imperial family. Just now, several elders of the imperial family came to inquire about it, which made me very passive. The fourth emperor elder brother was very ill, but his imperial concubine met such a mess when she gave birth. I don''t know how mean I am to make such a fuss for a ginseng! "


    Shen Tian said, "several imperial concubines and the eldest princess also went to the empress to cry. Fortunately, the empress was just. She only said that the subordinate was not good at doing things, which saved some reputation for her majesty. Now that things have happened, no amount of investigation will help. Your majesty has just ascended the throne. You must not leave a stigma at this time. This matter must be handled carefully. Let alone the harem. I''m afraid it''s not easy to explain even to the court. "


    Hearing this, Emperor chongtian rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, "the queen is right. Fortunately, I haven''t caught up with the imperial assembly these two days. Otherwise, the imperial censors would not have drowned me with saliva. Rao is such, Crusade my fold also placed a large pile. But, in Zitong''s opinion, how should we deal with this matter? "


    Hearing the emperor''s inquiry, Shen Tian didn''t shirk, but said with a smile, "I don''t want to talk much about the affairs of the imperial court. I think your majesty has his own conclusion. It''s just that the fourth sister-in-law needs to live and appease here. This time, the fourth sister-in-law was wronged, but she was honored as a princess. She had no choice but to benefit her children. The emperor might as well make his son born to his fourth sister-in-law the son of the king of Zhou and allow him to study in the palace after he is six years old to show the emperor''s generosity. In this way, people in the palace dare not neglect him as they used to. In addition, the eunuchs and bodyguards who took the lead this time spent the noble''s belly with their own villain''s heart. There may not be no revenge. The emperor can''t be soft hearted. He needs to be severely punished. "


    Emperor chongtian nodded, "what Zitong said is very true. These people are really hateful. They have ruined my reputation for nothing."


    Shen Tian pursed her lips and hesitated, "there''s one more thing, I don''t know whether to say it or not."


    Emperor chongtian held her hand and said, "we are a couple in need. What can we say? If you think of anything, just say it. "


    Shen Tian replied, "this time something happened. My concubine knew that it was not only the house of King Zhou, but also the house of the emperor''s brothers. More or less, they were treated slowly. My concubine was very cold when she knew that, no matter how many disputes there were between my brothers and sisters in law before, it was between the masters. It''s not nice to say that the Emperor didn''t speak. Why do these people dare to humiliate their clansmen? Don''t you think it''s good to hide it from the emperor? The house office is in charge of the royal family and clan affairs. In the final analysis, it''s better to hold it in the hands of our own family. "


    Emperor chongtian pondered, "I see what you mean. I will consider this matter carefully." Then she thought of what she had just said and asked, "how''s the baby of Chen Meiren?"


    Shen Tian''s heart was stiff, and he said with a smile, "maybe I moved the palace a while ago, but I''m not used to it. Now I''m fine. In another two months, I will be able to add a lively and healthy little prince to the emperor. "


    Hearing this, Emperor chongtian couldn''t help but smile and said, "it''s hard for Zitong to take charge of the harem. I saw a piece of lanzhiyu in the warehouse that day. It''s very rare. I think, such a good suet jade, only Zitong can match, then let a pair of fengtouzan for you. Do you like it or not? "


    Shen Tian naturally accepted it with a smile on his face. He had to be grateful.


    Emperor chongtian was also a neat man. When Shen Tian left Qianyuan palace, the imperial edict of canonizing the legitimate son of King Zhou as the son of the world had been issued. After returning to Fengning palace and shaking back the palace people, Shen Tian''s face gradually became dignified. When Chen Meiren was pregnant, it was just at the time when the king of Liang had just conferred the crown prince. In addition to the illness of emperor Longde in the palace, Shen Tian knew about it. At the beginning, Chen Meiren, who was still a housewife, had been pregnant for nearly three months.


    Shen Tian doesn''t care about the pregnancy of a Tong Fang. She cares about the body of chongtian emperor. Didn''t you say you hurt yourself? How come no one has been pregnant in the palace these years? How come someone is pregnant again this time. She checked in private for two or three months. It was easy for her to get the news. It turned out that emperor chongtian had already learned about his illness and let the imperial doctor take care of him for a long time in private. Today, chongtian emperor''s health is much better. As long as he takes care of himself for another year or two, he can recover to 70% or 80%. It''s said that the Gu family was so trusted by the emperor because they offered a rare herb.


    This news is not good news for Shen Tian, she can not care about Chen Meiren''s children, because after all, she comes from a humble family, no matter what, she can not threaten her status. But three years later, the draft, in any case, can not escape. Now there are several noble women secretly planning to enter the palace. At that time, even if she does not take the initiative, these people will not easily let her and her two sons go.


    Shen Tian looked down at the Golden Phoenix embroidered on his skirt. He thought in his heart that it seemed that the plan would be advanced.


    After a while, a palace man came in and whispered a few words in Shen Tian''s ear. Shen Tian sneered after hearing this. It seems that the emperor really trusted Gu Qian. He was only reprimanded for making such a big mess. He was demoted from the fourth grade interior minister to the fifth grade Honglu Temple minister. Compared with the mistakes he made, the punishment was not painful. However, as long as Gu Qian leaves the house of internal affairs, she will have a way to nibble away the other party''s power in the house of internal affairs.


    When leisurely went to see Princess Zhou, they also talked about it. "I didn''t expect that the emperor was so partial to adults. I''ve heard from Xianggong that Lord Yan, the Minister of Honglu temple, is over 60 years old this year. Maybe he will become an official one day. With the emperor''s trust in Lord Gu, he will not be in his pocket at that time? But it''s hard to disobey the emperor''s orders. Don''t be too cold. "

 Chapter 414

    After hearing leisurely''s words, Princess Zhou sneered, "it''s just acting. Even if it doesn''t achieve the expected effect, it''s just a little lost.". That is the one who just takes this matter to ask for directions, and wants to find out the pulse of our emperor. Now she has the bottom in her heart. "


    Leisurely nodded his head and said, "yes, I thought that those things were just done by the lower leaders. Now it''s enough to explain a lot of problems to look at the attitude of the head up to Mr. Gu


    Her heart is a little sad, really did not expect that the monarch of a country, even so small stomach. Even though there were some contradictions at the time of seizing the right, now his elder brothers are dead and disabled, and the rest are only young women and children. Why do you deceive others so much? He must repay his brothers and relatives like this. Can he govern the country well in the future?


    In fact, Emperor chongtian really didn''t instruct his subordinates to do those cruel things. Since he ascended the throne, he has been too busy with the government. How can he think about these things? Emperor chongtian just felt that people like Princess Zhou had far less weight in his heart than Gu qianlai, who had never met before, so he couldn''t bear to criticize Gu family. Moreover, he used to be a prince. He was a virtuous and ruthless man in fashion. Now it''s so easy for him to be in the ninth five year plan. It''s hard to avoid some complacency, so he''s willful.


    It''s just that emperor chongtian forgot that the ninth five is the most capricious position in the world. This wayward behavior of him has directly killed many people''s good feelings towards him. In particular, the several generations of aristocratic families, aware of the emperor''s disposal of this matter, face quietly, but heart is shaking his head, not only the new emperor is also a little bit more gracious.


    Here leisurely and Princess Zhou are talking. Suddenly, a baby''s cry comes. It turns out that xiaoshizi in the compartment wakes up. Princess Zhou didn''t want her son to be brought up by the nursing mother, so she cleaned up the west room of her living room and put her son there. That is to say, Princess Zhou came in person and refused to let the nursing mother feed her. Although this is not consistent with the practice, now Zhou Wang Fu has the final say, and the people do not dare to talk. In any case, they should be given a lot of examples, usually there are thick rewards, these nursing mothers are still happy.


    After a while, the mother took the baby to Princess Zhou and said, "mother, I''m awake. I''ve changed my diaper. The maid looked at him as if he was a little hungry. "


    Princess Zhou quickly propped up and took the swaddling clothes. When leisurely just came here, the child was sleeping soundly. She only looked across the curtain. She looked at her head for a while. I saw the little prince has stopped crying, a pair of black eyes around. After being held in the arms of Princess Zhou, the little guy smelled the milk fragrance of his mother and arched into the arms of Princess Zhou, his mouth still ticking.


    See, leisurely busy way "look, little son is really hungry, you feed him quickly, don''t be hungry, careful he cry for you to see."


    Princess Zhou looked at her son''s appearance and was worried. She only took the warm handkerchief from the servant girl and wiped it before feeding the baby.


    Looking at the way Princess Zhou takes good care of her children, leisurely heart slowly breathes a sigh of relief. If the former Princess Zhou always has a chill, and some refuse to be thousands of miles away, now she is obviously more than some of the world''s fireworks. Looking at her mellow face, which was originally cold and hard, now it becomes soft. Leisurely, I just feel that my mother is really the greatest identity in the world.


    After he had enough to eat and drink, he nestled in his mother''s arms and fell asleep. Princess Zhou handed him over to the nursing mother. He said with a smile, "this child is really a pig. He is like a piglet. He only eats and sleeps all day."


    Leisurely covered his mouth and said with a smile, "such a big child is like this. He''s not full moon yet. When he''s older, he''ll have a lot of fun in three or four months." She has been here for a while. Looking at Princess Zhou''s tired face, she said with a smile, "I''ve got a great time to come. If you don''t want to delay your rest, you''d better go first. I''ll come again some other day."


    Princess Zhou said, "how long have you been here? Are you going to leave? I''ve been lying in bed all day, bored and tight. I''m not allowed to do anything. My bones are almost crispy. It''s so easy for you to come. Why don''t you say a few words? You have to leave. I''m not going to go. I always have lunch before I go Leisurely but helpless comfort way "you this sit confinement, can''t too tired, I''m not afraid to disturb you rest?"


    Princess Zhou waved her hand and said, "it''s nothing. I just lie down during the day and dare not sleep too much, or I won''t be able to sleep at night. I have something else to trouble you with. "


    Smell speech, leisurely busy way "something you say, as long as I can do, no longer shirk."


    "You know, I had a bad relationship with my stepmother when I was in my mother''s house. My mother''s father never cared much about girls. Even though he knew that I had suffered a lot of grievances, he never asked. Fortunately, at that time, the third aunt of the family was kind-hearted. She often said good things for me in front of my grandmother, and often looked after me in private. That''s why I have the opportunity to go to school and draft with other girls in my family. The third aunt has only one son. She is 18 years old now. She is about to get married and have children. I just didn''t expect that my three aunts have been ill since last year. Now I''m just trying to find a lovely daughter-in-law for my cousin. Otherwise, as soon as the three aunts leave, I don''t know what kind of settlement I will find for my cousin because of the malice of those people in my mother''s family! "


    Leisurely some don''t understand "make cousin good or bad is the third grade right all censor''s next of kin grandson, as long as don''t go out of style, also afraid to say not good marriage?"


    Princess Zhou patted her head and said, "look at me, I didn''t make it clear. My third uncle is a concubine, but his mother is my grandmother''s servant girl, and the third aunt is my grandmother''s niece and granddaughter, so the third aunt can speak well in front of my grandmother. But the relationship between her and my third uncle is not very harmonious. My grandmother is old, and my third aunt is afraid that her son''s future will be destroyed after she leaves, so she asks me for help. Originally, I was going to search after my first month of confinement, but my mother, who was close to my third aunt, came to tell me that my third aunt''s illness would not last for two months. I really couldn''t delay it. "


    Leisurely frowned and said, "even if there are suitable girls, they can''t get married right away. It''s still in national filial piety."


    The princess of Zhou said, "I asked the officials in the government. The third uncle doesn''t have any official titles. Just like the common people, he can only keep the filial piety for a hundred days. Besides, it''s not necessary to have this meeting to get married. As long as it''s settled, it''s settled. "


    Smell speech, leisurely contemplate a way "I pour just have a girl of suitable age here, just don''t know your that cousin''s concrete circumstance."

 Chapter 415

    Afraid of causing the other party''s misunderstanding, leisurely busy way "the woman''s family background is general, your brother in the end is the grandson of the top three, I''m afraid you dislike the girl''s origin."


    Princess Zhou sneered and said, "I''ll tell you straight. As long as the girl is good and has her own opinions, no matter how low her family background is, my three aunts are willing to. If the other party is really a noble girl, it will be difficult to get married. The lower the family background, the fewer people my mother''s family will stop, and the easier it will be. "


    Hearing this, leisurely knows how confused the other party''s mother''s family is. He sighs, "when I read those travel novels before, I always felt that the author had deliberately exaggerated some things. They were all flesh and blood of a family. How could they fight so bitterly? I''ve been here for so many years, and I''ve seen so much before I know that the fact is always more cruel than the one in the novel. "


    Princess Zhou nodded and said, "are we tired at that time? No matter when the word "profit" is harmful to people Then he perked up and asked, "by the way, whose girl are you talking about? What''s your character like? "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s the eldest daughter of our two bedroom aunt''s brother''s family, and this year is also 18. Life is really a beautiful face, character, if others ask, I will naturally say gentle and generous. But you''re not an outsider, and I won''t hide it from you. Let''s put it this way. The girl looks soft and weak, but she has an idea in her heart. Otherwise, he could not grow up to such a big age safely under his stepmother''s hands, and he was quite literate and had a degree of advance and retreat. Of course, her biological mother has left her a loyal servant, but if she can''t stand up, it''s useless for people to persuade her. "


    She took a sip of tea, and then said, "my second aunt is also a person, but she is very close to her, or else she can''t bother about her marriage. I looked coldly at her. She was quite clever and had some ideas. Fortunately, her nature was not bad. What she did was only used to improve her situation, and there was nothing harmful. I think it''s not easy for her to lose her mother when she was young. A few years ago, I lent her a few pieces of materials and two kinds of jewelry. She made a pair of purse to thank me. It was embroidered by her own hands. I would say that her needlework is just like that, but the difficulty is that she knows how grateful she is. Otherwise, no matter how much my second aunt says, I don''t care about these things. "


    Hearing the words, Princess Zhou said with a smile, "it''s so good. I''m not afraid that she''s scheming. That''s how weak she is on the outside and how powerful she is on the inside. I''m also afraid to tell my cousin about a paper tiger. How can I compete with those cruel and cruel "relatives"


    Leisurely back to the way "well, I''ll go back to ask the second aunt."


    Princess Zhou nodded, "thank you. But marriage is for the sake of two surnames. I don''t have to hide my mother''s family''s affairs. Just tell the truth. If Mrs. Shen doesn''t want to, I''ll do something else. Otherwise, it will be a disaster. "


    Leisurely nod should, two people say some side gossip. After a while, the maid brought the chicken soup, and Princess Zhou reluctantly took a few mouthfuls, then waved her hand away. The servant girl advised, "the empress didn''t eat much in the morning. Drink more." Princess Zhou shook her head and said, "this woman''s snack is good. The one beside it is really ordinary. I can''t drink it."


    On one side, leisurely saw the clear appearance of the chicken soup, and said with a smile, "just look at the color, you know that the soup must be painstaking, and there is not a trace of oil star. The person who cooked the soup still doesn''t know how much effort it took. You must dislike the chicken soup, don''t you? "


    Princess Zhou nodded and said, "isn''t that right? One by one, they all said that they couldn''t eat too much salt in the confinement. No matter what they made in chicken soup or fish soup, they didn''t have any taste. Unfortunately, the cook who used to be good at making soup in my small kitchen was seriously ill and couldn''t get up. It''s hard to find one for half a while, so let the one who made the snack deal with it first. It''s just a little short of time. "


    Leisurely advised, "no matter how superb the cooking skill is, it will give you too much seasoning to stew. It''s normal to taste lighter, so you should be patient for a while. Not only for the sake of others, but also for the sake of feeding the little son. You are picky here. Isn''t the child also short of nutrition? "


    It''s nothing for Princess Zhou to eat less herself, but she can''t bear to let her children suffer. So she drank half a bowl of chicken soup and ate a few mouthfuls of chicken. Seeing that she finally ate more food, the maids were also very happy. Luo Ying said with a smile, "it''s still Mrs. Shen who can speak well, and the maids can''t persuade her even if they have worn their mouths out. In the future, Mrs. Shen will have to come often."


    Although she didn''t say it clearly, it''s easy to see that Princess Zhou would rather eat less than find another cook from outside. And even if the cook''s skill in her small kitchen is not good, what about the big kitchen? Can''t you even find a cook who can cook a mooncake? What''s more, the original cook was very sick. She didn''t get sick late, just in time? It''s necessary for some people to make trouble while Princess Zhou is in confinement.


    Leisurely thought about it in his heart, and then said to Luoying, "if your mother really doesn''t like soup, let the small kitchen make something nearby. Millet porridge, fish porridge, eggs in sugar water and so on." When I think of Princess Zhou''s saying that she is from Shandong before, I can remember that Shandong cuisine is rich in oil and red sauce. So leisurely said, "I''ll write a few prescriptions for you later. They are all suitable for those who sit in confinement. You take turns to make them for your mother."


    In fact, sometimes leiran felt that he was a poor fellow countryman. His mother''s family was not close to him. King Zhou''s biological mother died early, so he didn''t even have an elder to take care of. Even if there are several old mothers, they are servants in the end. It''s hard to be intimate.


    Luo Ying went to get the pen and paper in person, picked up the pen leisurely, and wrote three full sheets of paper. Finally, tired leisurely arms are sour.


    Luoying picked up the paper, gently dried the ink on it, and held it to Princess Zhou. Princess Zhou saw that there were more than 20 recipes, such as peanut pig hand soup, stewed spareribs with Tongcao, Luffa crucian carp soup, stewed hen with ginger and sugar, and so on. When Princess Zhou looked at it, she felt that her saliva was about to flow down. She handed the prescription to Luo Ying and said, "find a girl who can read and teach her the same dishes to Mrs. Zhang so that she can learn. They all make chicken soup. There are five or six ways to make chicken soup. If she wants to do it in turn, I won''t be bored with it. "


    Luo Ying covered her mouth with a smile and agreed to go.


    At noon, she made lotus root porridge and crucian bean curd soup, steamed eggs with minced meat and braised pig''s hands. After seeing these dishes, Princess Zhou was so excited that she could eat meat at last! No matter how good the chicken soup is, it''s hard to drink it every day for more than half a month. It''s so easy to change the pattern today. It''s not easy!


    Princess Zhou didn''t pass the dishes to leisurely in the big kitchen. She gave leisurely the same dish as herself. She gave her some advice and only added two kinds of vegetables. One of them was on the bed, the other on the table, so they had a lunch.


    In the end, there are so many servant girls around the palace. When they eat, they still pay attention to their manners and bring the rule of "food without words" into full play. Leisurely and eating, and Tucao in my heart make complaints about eating and eating.

 Chapter 416

    When he came out of King Zhou''s house, he thought that he would pass by Er Fang, so he went to ER Fang by the way. The main reason was that Mrs. Zhang''s illness could not wait.


    When leisurely arrived, it happened that the second room and the girls of the Zhou family were talking in front of the Zhou family. See leisurely come, busy one by one to meet.


    There were three unmarried concubines in Er Fang, and there were two in the Zhou family. Plus the three legitimate daughters of the two families, they were really a large group of Yingyan. Leisurely and they meet each other, smile to sit in the seat of the second wife said, "no wonder the two aunts in recent days to see more and more young, every day there are so many beautiful girls to accompany. It''s estimated that the second aunt will be full every day just watching the beauty. She saves food and looks young. She really has a lot to do with one stone. "


    The second wife closed her mouth and said with a smile, "really, your mouth is sweeter than honey." Then he said to the girls, "you all learn from your sister-in-law Ze. If you have half the dexterity of her mouth, it''s enough to flatter your mother-in-law in the future." The girls who talked about it all laughed with embarrassment.


    Seeing her coming here not too early or too late, the second wife knew that leisurely must have something to say. So he told his daughter-in-law, "these girls just said they were going to the back garden to pick flowers to make Rouge? Take them with you. "


    He also told Shen Xiang, "look at your sisters. You can pick flowers. You can''t waste them at will."


    After they all went out, leisurely first praised that "the second sister is more magnanimous, the younger sister is also kind, and the aunt''s good fortune is still to come."


    The second wife sighed, "well, I''m not worried about their brother and sister, but look at the rest. There are two sons in front of me. In the future, I''ll be worried about marriage alone. But the big niece''s marriage is not smooth, said several failed. Although there are those who are in a hurry to get married, but those people are not pure. How can I marry Kexin to such a family? Didn''t it hurt her all her life? "


    Leisurely way "but just a few days did not see, just look at can Xin cousin actually seems to be reduced a lot."


    The second wife sighed again and said, "her marriage is not going well. My useless brother, after listening to his daughter-in-law''s words, wants to marry Kexin to a merchant''s house. I''m not the one who rigidly comes from. If the boy over there has good conduct, it''s all right. But he''s a widower in his thirties who died of two wives. Not to mention that there are only three or four children in the family. There are a room of aunts and seven or eight children in the backyard. The eldest child in his family is not a few years younger than Kexin. The couple is just a couple of thousands of betrothal gifts, and they are going to push their daughter into the fire pit! It''s insane. Thanks to the boy''s strong heart, he knows to come to me for help. If he is weaker, he will die in the pit in his life? "


    Leisurely and hastily pacify way "two aunts don''t have to worry, say can''t be Zhou''s cousin''s predestination hasn''t arrived yet."


    Hearing this, the second wife frowned and said, "if she was two years younger, she would still be able to wait. However, her father and stepmother are unreliable. Now I''m still trying to hold my brother down. I''m afraid that there will be any more trouble when the time is too long. "


    At this time, leisurely Fang said, "I have a family here, but there are also some defects. I''ll tell my aunt first." Then he talked about Zhang''s situation. Then he said, "the situation of Zhang''s family is more complicated. Their house is a commoner, but sooner or later Zhang''s family will be separated. Although Zhang Wulang didn''t succeed in studying, he was still proficient in common affairs. Now he helps Princess Zhou with her dowry and other chores. Princess Zhou also said that in the future, no matter whether he can share the family property from Zhangjia or not, she will have a private property here for her cousin. "


    After hearing this, the second wife said, "my niece and I really don''t care much about what property is not. You may not know that Kexin''s mother is a girl from the Zheng family, a famous salt merchant in Jinzhou. Although it was only a side branch, there were 45002 dowries when they got married. She is also very good at business. After three or four years of marriage, her dowry rose by 30%. Unfortunately, when she gave birth to her second child, it was difficult to give birth. The child was born out of breath. Unfortunately, she encountered massive bleeding again. At that time, I happened to go back to my mother''s home to visit my relatives. She entrusted her dowry and daughter to me in the hospital bed, but she was afraid that Kexin would not be able to find a home. " How nice that sister-in-law was at the beginning. If she were still here, my brother would not be like this! The sky has no eyes! The second wife wept for her brother-in-law, then wiped her tears and said to leisurely, "I''ve been looking for someone to take care of my sister-in-law''s dowry these years. Now the world is flat, and Jinzhou is a rich and prosperous place. The land price and rent have more than doubled. Over the years, her farm and shop have accumulated 7000 liang of income. When I went back to Beijing the year before last to buy a home, I also helped her buy a 300 mu village in the suburbs of Beijing. The rest of them happened to be in qiwan lane, where they bought her a small house with three entrances. Now they rent it out, and they also earn 100 Liang a year. I''m not going to marry her to a big family. The money is enough for her to spend. Therefore, I really don''t care whether the man has money or not. The main reason is that he is down-to-earth and willing to make progress. As for family disputes, the child has been fighting since he was a child. He is not used to marrying people. "


    Listening to this tone, she said with a leisurely smile, "Princess Zhou, you must know that you can''t be more cautious. If her cousin''s character is not good, let alone help him to get married, you can''t give him his dowry. What''s more, it''s said to be a "male Xiao Mu". Mrs. Zhang is so kind and amiable that the children she raised are no worse? Of course, these are all words without foundation. If my aunt agrees, why don''t you find an opportunity to meet both sides? "


    The second wife thought for a moment and said, "I remember that Princess Zhou had a Western shop which was very famous in Beijing. It happened that there were two rare things in your sister Xiang''s dowry. I''m going to hang out in that shop the next morning. "


    Leisurely hear string song and know elegant, busy way "aunt don''t worry, this matter to me to arrange."


    The second wife patted her hand and said, "whether it''s successful or not, my aunt knows your feelings. If it does, I''ll give you a big red envelope


    Well, Princess Zhou seems to have said the same thing. No wonder so many people like matchmaking. It can be said that a marriage can not only win double red envelopes, but also attract people''s contacts. At that time, it can also have a matchmaking banquet. It''s really worth killing many birds with one stone!


    A few days later, Princess Zhou sent a message to get married!

 Chapter 417

    Leisurely doesn''t know how the second wife''s aunt and nephew look at Zhang Wulang, but when you look at the smiling face of the second wife, you can see that she is very satisfied. It was the girl of Zhou, with a smile on her face, but calm in her eyes.


    Because Mrs. Zhang''s health was really bad, with the promotion of Princess Zhou, the two families soon exchanged Geng tie and decided to get married, even in less than a month. And the betrothal gifts also really surprised the two families.


    Although there is no separation between the two families, Zhang Wulang''s betrothal gifts come from the public. But because his father was a commoner, only one thousand taels of silver were given to him. However, as many as 6700 taels were sent to the second room. Needless to say, the rest were subsidized by Mrs. Zhang San with her private room.


    Everyone thought that Mrs. Zhang San had taken this opportunity to save her private house in advance. After all, some people knew that she had so much dowry. But as a matchmaker, leisurely knows from Princess Zhou that Zhang Wulang still holds twice as many property shops as this one. They are private houses that mother and son have accumulated in secret over the years, but they are unknown to outsiders.


    Since it was to help him get married, leisurely met Zhang Wulang several times. This boy, who still looks childish, doesn''t seem to be quite good at business. In the eyes of Zhang Jia people, Zhang Wulang is a rather dull person who has accomplished nothing. Even though people know that he helps Princess Zhou to manage some common affairs, they just think that Princess Zhou is asking him to do some errand work in the face of Mrs. Zhang San. They can''t imagine that this ugly young man is actually a business expert.


    Think about Zhang Wulang''s silence and introverted, think about Miss Zhou''s calm and steady, leisurely, can''t help but help the forehead are some calm, these two people together in the future, don''t know what life will be like!


    She suddenly regretted that she had connected the two. If she could make up another couple, wouldn''t she be guilty?


    However, both of the big hires have passed. Leisurely feels that if you stir up this meeting again, you will be regarded as a ghost


    So she had to bury this worry in her heart and think about it in her heart. Later, she met with the eldest daughter of Zhou and asked Princess Zhou to teach her little cousin more


    Shen Ze looks at his wife, who is obviously wandering in the sky, and reaches out to touch his chin. Is it because he has tanned his face after practicing outside recently and lacks charm? How can his daughter-in-law''s attention on herself be reduced these days


    Leisurely in his husband''s affectionate gaze back to God, one eye is to see Shen Ze these days a lot of black and thin face. I can''t help blaming myself for being busy with other people''s affairs these days and forgetting that it''s the most bitter summer in my family. The military camp pays special attention to "training in March and September in winter and in March and ambush in summer". Although it''s hot season, the training is more strict and the food is not comfortable


    He felt his husband''s chin and said, "look, I''ve lost a lot of weight these days. I''m sure I haven''t had a good time to eat. Just let the kitchen make Poria cocos mung bean duck soup today. You''ll drink two more bowls of tonic later. "


    In fact, Shen Ze really doesn''t like the old duck soup on hot days. Is it very hot? However, under the leisurely hospitality, he was still given two bowls of soup in the evening. Fortunately, leisurely knew what he liked and didn''t force him to eat the duck. Seeing that he had finished the soup, he put in a chopstick of cold dishes and said, "this is your favorite spinach with shredded chicken. Eat more."


    On one side, Kangtai saw him and said, "mother, I want to eat shredded chicken, too."


    A leisurely glance at him: "there is mustard in it. Don''t you like mustard the least?" With that, he put in a stewed chicken claw and said, "here, have a chicken claw." After taking care of Xianggong and his eldest son, he naturally couldn''t ignore his younger son. He also served half a bowl of shrimp with hibiscus to his younger son. There is also a little sister-in-law who glances at her from time to time. She can''t leave her, so she can hold a chopstick of shredded bamboo shoots with cold sauce. After a busy circle, leisurely began to eat slowly.


    Stewed chicken feet is Kangtai''s favorite. With this, he doesn''t care if his father has shredded chicken to eat. As for what spinach is directly ignored by him, what''s good for those vegetables or meat. The dish of fried beef with Scallion on the table looks delicious. Kangtai has decided to eat it after solving the problem. It''s just that some unscrupulous adults are very dissatisfied with the eldest son whose son robbed his daughter-in-law''s attention. Just after Kangtai chewed the chicken feet, he picked up the chopsticks to reach for the beef. Shen Ze put a large chopstick of cold chrysanthemum in his bowl and told him, "I saw you eating meat all night. It''s obvious that your red eyes are a sign of fire. Eat some chrysanthemum to reduce the fire."


    Shen Ze''s chopsticks and vegetables are full of Kangtai''s bowl, or the bitter chrysanthemum he dislikes most. Is it really bitter? But forced by his father''s usual power, Kangtai was angry and had to eat the bowl of chrysanthemum silently. When he finished eating the chrysanthemum in the bowl and looked up to pick up the beef, he found that there was no beef left, and there was only scallion on the plate


    Kangtai looked at his father''s bowl full of beef, and his heart couldn''t stop tears. He wanted to ask if you were my father?


    When Kangtai was at the front of the rampage, he calmly brought the bowl of beef in front of Shen Ze to his son. "Your father knows you don''t like to eat scallion, so he specially helped you to pick out all the beef. Eat it quickly."


    So Kangtai''s face turned cloudy and clear, and he took the bowl with a smile, "thank you, mom." Then he said to Shen Ze, "thank you, Dad. You''ll know that dad is the best." Finish saying, also ignore father adult''s face of amazement, bury oneself in eating greatly.


    After watching the whole scene, Shen Xiang laughed when he saw that his eldest brother was shriveled.


    Shen Ze stares at her. She stops laughing, but she still lowers her head.


    Seeing that Shen Ze''s face was not good, leisurely he took another chopstick to stir fry the kidney. "Didn''t you praise Xue''s cooking that time? I went out of my way to find the recipe Xue Gongren asked for. It was made by our cook. How about you try it? " Shen Ze saw that his daughter-in-law was still interested in him, but just a casual compliment, so he went to ask for Fang Zi. It was so sweet! So he bowed his head and began to eat.


    Seeing the father and son, they finally stopped and breathed a sigh of relief. Turning his head, he saw his little son eating shrimp with a spoon. He helped Kangping wipe the stains on the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief. He praised, "it''s still our brother Ping who is clever and has a fast and quiet meal. Come on, have some more of this tofu. It''s also tender and fragrant... "


    Another pair of father and son can''t help but have nothing to say to each other. Does that mean we are not good? It seems so!

 Chapter 418

    Fortunately, Shen Ze''s reaction was quick. Seeing that her daughter-in-law seemed to be a little displeased, seeing that her soup bowl was empty, she quickly helped to add a bowl and handed it to her. "Lady, it''s hard. It''s hot. Drink more soup to reduce summer heat!"


    Leisurely took the bowl, helplessly angry at how big a person he was, and also angry with the child?! Shen Ze smiles a few times, blinks his eyes, and tells his innocence in his eyes. Leisurely, he can''t help laughing, and the anger in his heart disappears.


    Shen zeneng has a leisurely mood to joke with his son at home. Naturally, he won the battle at the border. I, Dakang, won the battle. Shen Mingchang, as the leader of the battle, played a brilliant role there! It''s said that the emperor''s Long Yan has been very respectable to the empress recently. Although the Shen family tries their best to restrain themselves, they can''t help but be jubilant.


    Now there are only a few issues left, and Shen Mingchang will soon lead the army and some of the Tartars'' prisoners back to Beijing. Knowing that Shen Mingchang is safe and sound, the family''s worries are much less. Now they are just waiting for Shen Mingchang''s return.


    In addition to Shen Mingchang, the commander-in-chief, the most remarkable one in this war was the young general dingxibo Tang. When general Tang heard that the Tartars who invaded Beiguan this time were of the same clan as the enemies who invaded Beiguan at the beginning, he was very jealous and cried out to avenge his father and ancestors. He went to Beiguan with the emperor''s orders. Originally, people didn''t pay much attention to him because he was still young. However, with his superb sword technique, he successively killed several of the other party''s generals, and also killed the tartar commander with one knife. The other side will be hanged soon by our Dakang soldiers without leaders.


    The compromise that Marquis Shen handed back to Beijing was that he greatly appreciated dingxibo and gave him all the first achievements in the war. Therefore, although the army has not yet returned to Beijing, dingxibo has been praised as something in heaven and nothing on earth.


    The Lu family of Yongchang Marquis''s residence, as the outsider of dingxibo, is also very proud. People are coming and going in these days. If it wasn''t for the national filial piety, people would be more or less restrained. I''m afraid the house would be more than ten times busy.


    The Lu family''s grandmother and leisurely are still serious sisters. Naturally, she had to be sent a gift, and Miss Tang would not be left behind.


    Granny Lu is very happy to see that the gifts from her mother''s house and Shen''s house are very heavy. After all, the long face of her mother''s family is also her blessing, isn''t it? Just the next second, a steward came in and said, "if you go back to grandma, both the second and third wives said that they have received a lot of visitors this month, and they have run out of orders. Now there is such a big happy event in your family. You should get an extra one. "


    Han Yuanzhen sneered in her heart, but her brow was locked and she said with a little sadness, "what the two aunts said is reasonable, but I don''t care about it. The money in the back yard has always been collected from the front yard, and there is a fixed amount every month. These days, due to the need to receive the distinguished guests, it is already overspending. The front yard cashier is already unwilling to pay money outside. Today, several old ladies come here, but my grandmother doesn''t even have any decent tea. If you want to pay 200 taels of silver in cash to buy the cashier, you are not willing to. You say the cashier doesn''t have any cash now. Let''s take the existing support. But my grandmother never likes tea. The Cihui hall usually provides hospitality for other people, not to mention the princess. I''m afraid even other people''s servant girls don''t want to drink it. So it''s spread out to let outsiders know that our government can''t even afford a decent idea of tea. How can we make people laugh? "


    The steward who came to reply quickly fawned on her smile and said, "granny is smart and capable. She must have a way."


    Han Yuanzhen sighed, "it''s hard to cook without rice. What can I do? However, there happened to be a jar of sparrow tongue given by my cousin Princess Rong. It came in from outside. I had to take it to support today''s day. I don''t know how to treat the princess''s son-in-law tomorrow? You go to tell the two aunts that it''s not that I''m stingy and refuse to give them. It''s just that the harvest in spring has already been used up in Huizi''s house. There''s really a lot of money left. We have to wait two or three months for the rent in autumn. Even the old lady has made up a lot with her private room these two days, not to mention the present from my mother''s family. I have to take my private room as a gift in return, but I have to take it to the public. I still have a lot of grievances here, there is no place to complain! The two aunts in Hengli''s room are all relatives of their own family, so let them make up for their grievances by taking their private rooms. Anyway, the gifts in each room are collected by themselves, and they can''t lose money in any case. There''s no way for me here. If the two aunts still have any opinions, they can tell the old lady directly. The old lady is still in charge of the house! " The lady was speechless, so she had to go back and talk to her master. The second wife and the third wife were talking together. Seeing that they didn''t get the money back, they had to teach her a lesson. In order to transfer the master''s anger, the servant naturally gave Han Yuanzhen eyedrops and learned her words. On hearing this, the wives of the two bedrooms suddenly became angry and began to bite their silver teeth.


    In particular, the third wife, relying on the fact that she and the old lady are distant relatives, usually gets the old lady''s attention. She angrily says, "well, she''s Han Yuanzhen, but she''s a key keeper. Do you really think she''s an onion? This family is not her! It''s really lawless that a younger generation is still the stepmother. I''ll go to the old lady now. "


    The second wife was still hesitant. "This, the eldest grandmother''s family is strong, and she is also the empress''s cousin. If it''s too big, will there be something wrong?"


    The third wife sneered, "it''s just a concubine. It''s not sure whether the queen knows her or not! If you really have a good relationship with the queen, why have you never seen her get a reward from the palace Then he went straight out.


    Seeing that she went in the direction of Cihui hall, the second wife was afraid that she would be late and would not make a profit, so she went with her.


    Han Yuanzhen knows that neither of them wants to be respectable. She has to start first. After sending the lady in charge away, she went to the bedroom with a few things selected from the gifts from her relatives. When she arrived, several girls in the house were also serving the old lady.


    Lu Er, the third wife''s daughter, came in with a servant girl and a box. She said with a smile, "what good thing has my sister-in-law got to show her respect to her grandmother? Do you have any of our sisters?"

 Chapter 419

    Han Yuanzhen saluted the old lady respectfully first, and then said with a smile, "naturally, I won''t forget the sisters. It''s just that the old lady is the elder, and the good things are given to her grandmother first."


    Then he took a brocade box from behind the servant girl, opened it and said, "several relatives of my mother''s family sent people to send some things. I chose some good ones to honor my grandmother first. Here''s a box of good red ginseng. It''s not as strong as ginseng. It''s most suitable for grandmother''s age to use as a daily tonic. "


    Then he took another box and said, "here is a box of agate beads. Grandma can keep them for people to enjoy. In addition, the material looks good. Grandmother, please keep it for clothes


    Old lady Taiyuan is also a young lady of the Duke''s family. What good things have you never seen when you are so old? At a glance, he saw that the material was extraordinary. At the moment, he said with a smile, "this material is excellent. It looks like it came out of the palace."


    Han Yuan Zhen said with a smile, "the old lady has good eyesight. It was sent by her mother. She said it was awarded by the queen. I have only two, one for my grandmother, and the other for my mother. "


    The old lady said with a smile, "you should keep such a good thing for yourself. Your mother and I are old. What can''t we wear?"


    Han Yuanzhen replied, "look what my grandmother said, it''s only when I''m old that I should dress up! It''s the decency of our younger generation that you wear more brightly and delicately. "


    The old lady made a full gesture, and then said, "I''m sorry you have this idea. In that case, I''ll take it." Then he patted her hand and said, "there are many things in the house these days, so you should take more care of yourself."


    Tang Ying, a girl from the Tang Dynasty, saw the two people performing the drama of zuci and sunxiao. She lowered her eyelids and said that the Han family''s wife was not very friendly to the common women. But look at this, isn''t it common? Although it''s hard to avoid some small calculation in private, it''s always generous on the whole. In particular, the last time she went back to her mother''s home for a few days, and then came back, she was completely transformed. She had rules and regulations, and she was more capable than before. Not to mention her, even the other few common girls I met in the Han family were very organized in their words and deeds, which is enough to show the Han family''s upbringing! It also shows the bearing of the Han clan''s wife!


    Another glance at Lu Er, whose face is full of injustice, makes Tang Ying look down on her. She thinks about other people''s things all the time and shows a arrogant attitude. Who is a fool? My grandmother still wants to tell her to my brother. Is that to pull his back? Even if she asked her younger brother to marry a Han girl, she would not marry a Lu girl. It''s a pity that the Han family doesn''t have a daughter. Otherwise, she has to fight for her younger brother.


    When Lu Er saw that the old lady was only talking to her sister-in-law, she was not angry. She turned her eyes, but said with a smile, "when grandma saw her sister-in-law, she just left us all behind. The elder sister-in-law is a good person and generous. Unfortunately, we don''t have such good things to honor our grandmother. "


    Han said with a smile, "what are you talking about? Is grandma such a person who only looks at things? It''s a pity that the old lady loves you most, and you still say such piercing words. " Seeing that Lu Er''s face turned red with anger, she went straight to Tian Shi and said, "I know. My second sister must have seen that I only showed filial respect to my grandmother and didn''t bring anything to their sisters. I''m not happy!"


    Then he went to Lu Er, took her hand and said, "good sister, sister-in-law is joking with you. I brought things for your sisters. Knowing that you are all here, I specially brought them together? "


    As soon as she waved her hand behind her, a maid came over with a brocade box. Han Yuanzhen took it over, opened the box and said with a smile, "I still have a box of delicate pearl hairpins. Although the beads are not big, they are rare in color. They are all made of pink beads. You see, each one chooses a right. "


    Lu Er looked at the jeweled box and was about to reach for it. However, Han Yuanzhen turned to Tang Ying with the box in her hand. "My cousin is a guest, and she is the oldest. You should choose first." Tang Ying looks at Er Tieqing''s face, and thinks that the number of paragraphs is getting higher and higher. All the movements conform to the "rules", but some people have toothache. In her heart, she admired Lu Er''s face. She reached for a pair of Pearl hairpins and said with a smile, "thank you, cousin." Han Yuanzhen then went back to Lu Er and saw that her face was very blue, but she was surprised and said, "what''s wrong with ER Mei''s face, but what''s wrong with her? There is no outsider here. If you have any discomfort, you must say it. "


    As soon as the voice fell, the third wife lifted the bamboo curtain and came in, "who is not comfortable?" As soon as I came in, I saw Han Yuan Zhen standing in front of Lu Er and talking to her with concern! Hurry up, push her away, holding Lu Er''s face up and down to see "daughter, are you ok? What''s wrong? Who bullied you? "


    Although Lu Er was arrogant, his brain was not stupid, so he would not tell the truth. Only light said "no one bullies me, Niang, you don''t see also is where?"? Who dares to bully me in front of the old lady? "


    It''s like someone bullied the old lady where she couldn''t see? Han Yuanzhen sneered in her heart and said, "aunt three, don''t worry. I''m giving something to my sisters. When I came to see the second sister, she didn''t look well. I thought she was uncomfortable, so I asked by the way. Unexpectedly, she was heard by Aunt three. In the end, the mother and daughter are connected. Is it hard for the third aunt to know that the second sister is not comfortable from a long distance, and she is in such a hurry? They''ve all draped themselves. "


    Mrs. Lu sang coldly, "what do you want me to do, you don''t know?"


    Han Yuanzhen suddenly realized, "I know. My third aunt must know that my sisters and I are here to talk with the old lady. I''m afraid we''ll take your favor and come to wait on the old lady, right?"


    Then, without waiting for her to refute, she handed her the box in her hand and said, "the third aunt is just in time. I''m distributing things for my sisters. It''s the second sister''s turn. May I help the second sister choose a pair?"


    The third wife was about to get angry, but her daughter pulled her sleeve several times. She turned back to see her daughter''s pleading eyes. Seeing a room full of people in the room, he had to suppress the anger in his stomach and said with a fake smile, "my nephew and daughter-in-law are still rich in dowry and generous. Daughter, come and see what you like. Don''t be polite to your sister-in-law. She has a lot of money


    Yongchang Marquis''s house is not only fighting here, but also leisurely and Fang Xinsu are talking about the family.


    Fang Xinsu said to leisurely with a smile, "it''s easy to know that the Empress Dowager doesn''t mean to say goodbye to Miss Tang. You have to help me this time."


    Who knows, leisurely but no one should say, "Granny Lu is my serious sister. I can always find a reason to go to the Lu family. But have you asked the queen about this marriage? "

 Chapter 420

    Fang Xinsu was puzzled by leisurely''s words. "How can I ask my cousin about this? My cousin said last time that Miss Tang was very good. "


    Leisurely busy way "I didn''t say that Miss Tang is bad, if before this marriage is no good, but now the little general Tang has just won the war, it''s not so simple."


    With Fang Xinsu''s wisdom, when he mentioned the four words of general Tang leisurely, he had already figured out the joint. Now the Shen family has quite a few powerful relatives. If Huizi is connected with the Tang family again, I''m afraid it will arouse the suspicion of others. In particular, it is not a good thing that the foundation of the sage is not stable and the influence of the later clan is too big. In the end, she could only sigh, "at the end of the day, it''s the two of them who have no chance."


    Seeing that she was so depressed, she comforted her leisurely and said, "now she''s still in national filial piety. Even if there''s that good girl, she''s hiding at home. What''s your hurry?"


    Fang Xinsu gently frowned, "you are now a husband and wife and a beautiful son, but naturally speaking standing does not hurt your back. His relatives and classmates, who are as big as brother Jane''s, are beginning to enlighten their children. His daughter-in-law doesn''t know where he is. Now I often dream of my mother crying to me that there is no successor in the Fang family. Why don''t you say I''m in a hurry? If it doesn''t work, I can''t sleep well. "


    Leisurely still want to persuade again, see Su he come in to return a way "Uncle grandma came, still take a young lady of the eye."


    Regardless of the sun is high outside, leisurely busy up personally received the corridor, sure enough to see Zhuang Shu with a beautiful lovely young woman to come. Leisurely smile way "is the sun most poisonous time, how this meeting son came over?"


    Zhuang Shu said with a smile, "I really have something to ask for this time. I don''t know if my cousin is at home?"


    Hearing this, leisurely heart a tight, "who is bad?"? It''s hot these two days. She hasn''t gone out. She''s been pounding medicinal materials in the yard. " Finish saying then pointed to a servant girl to shout jade lotus.


    Zhuang Shu pointed to the girl behind her and said with a smile, "this is my cousin from my uncle''s family. She just followed her parents back to Beijing a few days ago. It''s not my aunt. She''s walking on the road and it''s hot. She''s not feeling well. I went to see my aunt today. Seeing that her condition had not improved, I mentioned my cousin''s medical skills. Who knows, the girl can''t sit down when she hears about it. It''s said that the cousin is not easy to give treatment to people now, and she has to come in person. I have to bring her here. "


    The girl of the Feng family looked at her leisurely eyes and gave a quick salute.


    Hearing that it wasn''t Lin''s mother, leisurely was relieved at first. Then he thought that since he wanted to invite Yulian, most of them were gynecological diseases, and there were few in Beijing who were better than Yulian.


    As she thought about it, she helped Miss Feng up and said, "don''t worry, cousin. Although sister Yulian seldom goes out to see a doctor, she will never lose face with her relatives. It''s hot outside. Let''s talk inside. "


    Fang Xin has always known that the Shen family rarely set up a set of instruments. The two sisters did not expect that there were other guests in the room. They were a little surprised when they came into the room.


    Zhuang Shu and Fang Xinsu are also familiar, and they are not too surprised to know that she is making friends with leisurely. They salute and say with a smile, "I didn''t expect that the princess is here too. Please send her regards."


    Fang Xinsu didn''t care and waved, "Mrs. Lin doesn''t have to be polite." Then he pointed to the Feng girl and asked, "who is this girl?"


    Smell speech, Zhuang Shu busy way "this is my cousin''s cousin." Miss Feng quickly went to see Fang Xinsu. Although she was a little surprised just now, she soon picked up her mood and gave a gift to Fang Xinsu.


    Her actions left a good impression on Fang Xinsu. Fang Xinsu praised her without stinging: "I haven''t seen such a girl in Jingzhong for a long time. What''s your name? How old is this year? "


    Listening to her question, she gave her a leisurely look and turned to see Miss Feng. Only listen to Miss Feng crisp way "minister female name cloud leaf, this year 17 years old." 17¡¢ I''m not too old or too young. I just don''t know if I''m engaged?


    Fang Xinsu''s eyes turned and said with a smile, "the cloud leaves fall in spring, and the flower shadows clear the branches."


    When he heard the other party praising him, Feng Yunye said, "the princess is too proud. I didn''t read much in the past. Today, I heard this poem for the first time. In a word, the name of chennv has nothing to do with any poetry. According to my mother, when my daughter was born, it happened that my father was working in Mizhou. There was a local tree in Mizhou called "Yunye", which grew very luxuriantly in the mountains. My daughter often fell ill when she was young. My father named her because he wanted her to be as strong as a Yunye tree. "


    Fang Xinsu was a little disappointed when she said she didn''t read much. But in front of this little girl''s body that rare beautiful vivid, but let her some greedy.


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "since it''s a name given by my father full of hope, it''s more precious than any poetic and picturesque meaning." "I don''t know if I can meet you today, and I''m not prepared. But I happen to have such a thing here. It matches your name. It''s also a rare fate. Keep it for fun. "


    Seeing that the jade pendant was very valuable, Feng Yunye felt a little uneasy. She looked up at her cousin. Seeing that her cousin nodded slightly, she took over the jade pendant with a smile. "In this case, it''s better for her to be respectful than obedient. Thank you for your reward."


    Fang Xinsu was very happy to see her without any embarrassment. "I like such a bright and generous girl."


    It''s the first time we met. It''s natural that we should express ourselves in a leisurely way. It''s also a gift.


    When the conversation was over, he arranged for the two sisters to sit down and said with a smile, "you''re just here. I''m having tea with the princess. The princess has just brought this year''s new tongmuguan smoked Chigan. You can have a taste, too. "


    Although Feng Yunye is worried about his mother''s illness, it''s no use worrying about the current situation. The doctor hasn''t come yet. I had to cheer up and chat with you.


    Seeing that a cup of tea was about to see the bottom, Yulian came in a hurry. As soon as she came in, she apologized and said, "it''s said that there''s a distinguished guest at home. It''s my neglect. Please forgive me." It''s not that she deliberately delayed her time, but she was processing some herbs in the yard these two days while the weather was good. They are all old clothes and their hair is only in a loose bun. They can''t see people. They have to dress up before they come out.


    Except Fang Xinsu, everyone else in the room stood up. Zhuang Shu said with a busy smile, "it''s our abrupt coming. It''s disturbing my cousin''s leisure. I''m not surprised."

 Chapter 421

    Although Feng Yunye covered up very well, we still saw her worry and urgency. Therefore, Yulian didn''t delay much. She exchanged a few words with leisurely and left with Miss Feng. There has always been a custom that people don''t see patients at noon, so Zhuang Shu didn''t go to Feng''s house with her. She just assigned several proper servants to escort her cousin and others.


    After several people left, Fang Xinsu asked Zhuang Shu with a smile, "how old is Miss Feng? Is there a match? "


    Although she was a little surprised at her directness, Zhuang Shu thought about it and said with a smile, "my cousin is seventeen years old. When she first came back to Beijing, I heard from my grandfather that she had not decided to get married. This time, my uncle''s family came back to Beijing to report on their work and find a proper marriage for my cousin. After all, our family is here in the capital, and there are many in laws. Even if Uncle Tang is released, he doesn''t have to worry about his cousin''s lack of support. "


    Fang Xinsu nodded and agreed, "it''s true that parents naturally think a lot about their children." Then he put it aside and talked about the fashionable clothes, materials and jewelry in the capital.


    Zhuang Shu saw that she changed the topic, but also smart did not say much. Therefore, it was thought that if the princess really liked her cousin''s character and wanted to tell her to general Fang, the marriage would be quite beneficial to the declining Marquis''s house of Jinxiang. For example, this time, because there is no deep relationship between Beijing and China, uncle Tang''s external senior staff from grade three can only find out the actual lack of grade four. Although most of the foreign officials came to Beijing to report their work were demoted to half rank and remained in office, the actual difference between the third grade and the fourth grade was not only half rank? How many people can''t get through the third grade in their life?


    Leisurely looking at her sister-in-law, she seems to have something on her mind. She only thinks that she is worried about Mrs. Feng''s illness, but she doesn''t care much. She only helps her to smooth out the omissions in her words.


    When the sun was a little bit West, Fang Xinsu took her maids and went away.


    After she left, she said to Zhuang Shu with a leisurely smile, "it''s nothing to go back. It''s better to have dinner in my house. I''ll take someone to pick up my mother and children."


    Zhuang Shu by eyebrow soft smile way "today is really a little difficult, come back another day."


    Leisurely, seeing that she was really a little tired, she said, "yes, you''re not tired after you''ve been out for most of the day? It''s getting late. I won''t leave you empty. Go back and have a rest early. "


    Zhuang Shu bit her lower lip and hesitated. She said, "there''s something I want to ask my sister to do me a favor."


    Who knows, without waiting for her to say it, leisurely said with a smile, "you don''t have to say it. I guess it''s for Miss Feng''s wedding, right?"


    Zhuang Shu slightly some shy smile way "elder sister as expected ice snow is clever, what all hide but you.". I don''t want to embarrass my sister, as long as I can say a few good words at the right time. "


    Pat her on the shoulder "OK, we don''t have to say these compliments. Since there is a good marriage, it''s certain to consider one''s relatives first, and it''s not a shame. I saw that girl Yunye was easy to get along with, and she was easy-going. It was rare for her to get into the eyes of the princess. You don''t have to do anything for the time being. What did you do in the past? What will you do in the future? If you care too much, you will miss the mark. The princess is always smart. If she is not careful, it will backfire. We just pretend that we don''t know anything. When fate comes, it''s natural. If not, there are so many talented young people in the middle of Beijing. They will always find a husband for Miss Feng. "


    Smell speech, Zhuang Shu busy way "sister don''t worry, this idea I still have, this is my own heart ponder some, won''t go out to talk nonsense, after all, the girl''s reputation can''t stand what toss."


    Leisurely patted her hand and said, "you are a proper person. Naturally, I am relieved, but it''s a white charge. Old lady Feng has been better recently? "


    Zhuang Shu replied, "it''s much better. I got up that day and strolled in the yard for a while. Now I can drink more than half a bowl of coarse cereals porridge and eat some steamed stuffed buns. It''s better every day. I''d like to thank my sister for the old ginseng, but it''s a great help. " Leisurely way "medicinal materials, is to use at a critical moment, if only blindly put in the warehouse, no bad mold or old lost efficacy.". It''s also that the old people are still alive. After that, the good days are still to come. " If she remembers correctly, Mrs. Feng seems to be 73 years old this year. According to the previous life, 73 and 84 are important ages. If these two ages can survive safely, there will be fewer disasters.


    Smell speech, Zhuang Shu light smile, "sister Xie Jiyan, I now do not ask for anything else, just my grandmother can live a few more years of health." The last time Mrs. Feng fell ill, Zhuang Shu was really scared. She was young, but now she has gone through too many life and death. Now there is only one family member left in her family. Even if she gives her dowry, she will let her grandmother live a few more years.


    Carefree and placid clap her hand "certainly will." Send her to the second gate in person.


    When it was going to be dark, Yulian came back a little tired. Leisurely while ordering the servant girl to make tea for her, he asked eagerly, "how is Mrs. Feng''s health?"


    Yulian said, "it''s not a big problem. It''s just a long journey. Some of her body can''t bear it. In addition, she didn''t seek medical treatment in time. Some of her vitality was hurt. It''s good to have a good health for a while. "


    Hearing that the other party is not in serious trouble, leisurely just a little relieved, and sent his servants "to tell my uncle and grandmother that Mrs. Feng is in good health, please don''t worry about it."


    During the conversation, a servant girl came back and said, "young masters and girls are back from school." After a while, Shen Xi and Tao Liang came in hand in hand. Now they are both in the Shen family''s girls'' school, and they are very close to the Shen family''s school. Several children go back and forth together. Leisurely and so on, they feel relieved.


    When it comes to the Shen family''s female education, it was suspended after Shen Jiaxiang''s several successive hairpins. Later, when Shen Tian became the crown princess, she motioned to the Han family to reopen the family''s women''s school, and then sent two female officials from her side to help teach etiquette.


    Although the Shen family is a noble family, the Han family comes from a scholarly family and has always been quite fond of girls'' education. When she got her daughter''s signal, she found a few women''s school masters again, together with several parenting mothers, and started the women''s school again. At the beginning, she did not recruit female students. Only Shen xitaoliang, a few girls from her family and relatives, used to support her.


    Until Shen Tian became the mother of the nation, the number of women''s school places in the capital suddenly became hot!

 Chapter 422

    Most of the girls in the first-class Prince''s family went to their own girls'' school or went to Wenhua girls'' school. Even if the Shen family had a queen, they would not easily let their daughter "condescend".


    But many middle-class official families are willing to send girls to Shen''s school. Not to mention that there is a queen in the Shen family, the ladies invited by the Shen family and the female officials from the palace are enough for these families.


    Although Shen''s female school doesn''t want to accept too many students with different surnames, it can''t hold up the face of relatives'' old home. Rao is a student in the women''s school. He is very strict in his apprenticeship. In the end, he has 20 or 30 female students.


    Naturally, it''s not just a few families, but the Shen family''s one-year training costs 300 liang of silver, which is not a small amount even in the capital. There''s one with a slightly lower family background. I just didn''t scold him face to face. Your family is obviously robbing money, right? I invite a female husband at home for 100 Liang silver a year, and every girl in my family can go to school together. When you arrive, you will receive 300 Liang. What a lion!


    This is why some people are discussing this with their own men. After all, the expenditure of three hundred Liang a year is not a small amount. It''s just a bunch of repairs. When girls go to school, they always have to be accompanied by transportation, right? When you come to the women''s school, it''s all the gold of the official family. It''s very natural to wear them. Can you only make two clothes for your daughter? What we can''t see is all silver. The cost of one year is not necessarily less than that of bundle repair.


    It''s not others who are discussing this matter with Xianggong. It''s Xue Gongren, who is familiar with leisurely. One of Jiang''s daughters is just ten years old. She used to recognize some words with Jiang at home and finished reading the four female books. Compared with other girls, Jiang has some experience, but because he often comes to the Shen family, he has met two girls in the family. Needless to say, Shen Xi''s younger sister, who was born there, could be accepted no matter how scholarly she was. Even the girl Lin, who was born slightly cold, was as old as her daughter, and she had a certain bearing. In recent years, although the marriage is well matched, if a girl is really outstanding, it is common for her to climb a little higher. Naturally, Jiang wants her daughter to have a good life, so she makes up her mind to let her go to this school.


    But Lord Xue didn''t think so. Three hundred Liang a year was enough to buy a small house in the last five or six years. So he retorted, "why do girls read so many books? Anyway, I''m going to get married sooner or later. I don''t have to waste so much money! "


    Jiang was very angry, but he knew that he could not fight against men at the moment, so he pressed down his anger and said in a slow voice, "the master also said that his daughter will marry someone sooner or later, but this marriage can be divided into high marriage and low marriage. Any brick in the capital can hit a third class officer, not to mention the master, a fourth class general. My daughter''s family background is decided. If she has ordinary conditions, she can only look for relatives in the family of similar generals in the future. But if she goes to school for two years, it''s not the same. Don''t mention the girls who are learned by ordinary women, they can go up to a higher level. This time, it''s a female school of the Queen''s family, and the head of the mountain is named by his wife. We don''t have to compare with the one in the palace. Let''s just talk about Shen Tongling''s wife. At the beginning, she was just a servant girl beside the lady of the Duke of the country, but now she''s all three grade Gaoming, one level higher than me. If our daughter can go to school for a few years, not to mention that she can learn something, it will be nice to talk to her parents in the future


    Seeing that Xue Shenjiang was somewhat moved, Xue Gongren advised, "although 300 Liang a year is not cheap, I asked Mrs. Shen. Mrs. Shen said that the school provided free tea, snacks, ink, paper and inkstones for girls, as well as necessary utensils for learning Qin, Qi, calligraphy and painting. This is not much money. "


    The man still hesitated. The front yard steward said that he had something to return to. Xue Shen got up and said, "let me think about this again." Then he went out with his feet raised.


    Think again? If you think about it again, you don''t necessarily have a chance. Although their family thinks it''s a lot of money, some rich people are willing to pay for it. Xue Gongren still asked leisurely to get a place, so naturally he didn''t want to give up easily. So send someone to stare at Xue Shenjiang, and invite him back as long as he is busy.


    But after half an hour, the servant girl came back and said, "the master came out of the study and went straight to Aunt Zhang." Jiang''s secret hatred, bowed his head to think about it, called the servant girl and said, "go and tell Aunt Zhang that if she can persuade the master, I will let the third man go to the Mongolian College of Wenhua college."


    The servant girl exclaimed, "I often hear the master praise the third young master for his intelligence, and now I have already recognized many words before I read seriously. If he was allowed to study seriously again, wouldn''t he compare the first young master with the second young master? "


    Jiang''s mouth pulled out a smile: "although the third brother was born by Aunt Zhang, he is my son after all. If he is really a promising man, what if I become a mother to help him?" In my heart, I thought to myself that Aunt Zhang was a criminal, not to mention that her son''s aptitude was just average. Even if she was really a talented person, she would stop at the scholar in the future. Although the imperial court did not explicitly stipulate that you are not allowed to become an official after committing an official offence, all the scholars who participated in the official examination will be severely investigated. Not to mention your eighteen generation ancestors, the next three generations will definitely be investigated.


    This is also the beginning of knowing that Aunt Zhang has a lot of means, and Jiang still allows her to enter the house as a concubine. Because if it''s a maid who gives birth to a child, although her status is a little low, the mother of the child can only be her. The son of a concubine can write his mother''s surname on the ID card.


    Jiang''s mouth, Zhang thought he was smart enough, but did not know she wanted to turn over the road has long been blocked by himself. Six or seven year old children, can recite a few Tang poems, a few "Three Character Classic" what''s wrong? It is only Zhang''s such shallow and master as the rough people think that this is very extraordinary.


    With Jiang''s instructions, Zhang was secretly happy that she seemed to have seen her son''s bright future. But when her son went to elementary school in the future, she had to pay the fee from the public. She did not dare to offend Jiang for her son.


    Therefore, rou Sheng advised, "although the master thinks it''s very expensive for his daughter to go to school for one year, the master should also think that although the Shen family today is only the Queen''s family, it may be the Queen Mother''s family in the future. I spend three hundred taels a year on a relationship with the houzu. Do you think it''s worth it or not? "


    In this way, general Xue Shen immediately felt that the money should be spent, so he asked his servant to tell Jiang that he agreed to it.


    With Xue Shen''s approval, Jiang ordered his servants to prepare some new clothes for her daughter. While preparing a gift, the next morning he took his daughter to leisurely home.


    It''s said that Xue Shen will agree to let his daughter go to the Shen family to study. Leisurely is quite unexpected. She probably knows something about the Xue family, and she has a harvest of several thousand taels every year. Three hundred Liang is not a small expense for the Xue family.


    However, since others are willing, she naturally won''t have any objection here. She asked people to take their own post and give it to Jiang Shi, "you just need to take this post and sign up."


    Jiang said with a smile, "thank you, madam. I just heard that there is an entrance examination. I don''t know if it''s difficult?"

 Chapter 423

    Listen to Jiang''s words, leisurely and calm back to the way "Gongren just rest assured, in order to make the level of love will be able to pass."


    Jiang knew that leisurely was not the kind of empty talker. After listening to her promise, he suddenly fell a big stone in his heart. After the mother and daughter had a conversation here, Jiang said, "in that case, we''ll leave first. There are still some things that are not ready for school, so I''ll take my daughter back to prepare. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "then I''ll leave you two. When I''m free, just come and play." Then he took two pieces of silk from the maid''s hand and said, "these two pieces of material are bright in color. Take them back to make clothes for ling''ai."


    After a glance, Jiang saw that one of them was hangsi with red crabapple, and the other was light and thin satin. Jiang could not name it, but he knew it was a good thing. I was a little embarrassed and said, "madam, I''m very polite. This time, I''ll thank you for your help. We haven''t given gifts to Madam yet. Madam has given us something instead. You can keep such a good thing even if you can''t use it yourself. My big girl has rough skin and thick flesh. She doesn''t need these. "


    Leisurely eyes a horizontal, said with a smile, "look at what you say, a little girl with many people and beautiful water, let you talk like a rough man. The girl''s family is as beautiful as jade. She should have dressed more. If these materials are not used in a hurry, the new year''s pattern color is out of fashion, but also white in the warehouse. Why do you have to be such an outsider with me? "


    "Since Madame said so, I won''t be polite to you. Daughter, come and thank your wife. " Jiang said with a smile.


    After the mother and daughter got into the carriage, Jiang looked at her daughter stroking the satin and said with a smile, "such a light and soft satin should be the best thing to use. Such a bright red color has been seen on weekdays, but few of them have such a right color. And the hibiscus flowers on the top are also beautiful. I can save the time for embroidery. I''ll let you cut them when I go back. "


    Miss Xue hugged her mother''s arm and said with a smile, "thank you, mother." Although she didn''t lack clothes, she didn''t wear much material like this, so she was very happy.


    In fact, the family background of Xue family is the family background of a normal fourth grade official.


    Leisurely''s family, without the support of the government and Shen Tian, would not have accumulated such wealth in just a few years. After all, the better a business is, the more eye-catching it is. If it''s not for the Shen family, it''s a matter of two whether the bookshop can run smoothly.


    Today, the Shen family''s women''s school has been gradually on the right track. Although the battle is not small, most of the students recruited are not very prominent, and they have not attracted too much attention from outsiders.


    When Shen Tian, who is sitting in Fengning palace, sees the list in his hand, his mouth is slightly tickled. These girls don''t show their family background now, but most of them are strong and promising. I''m not sure that some of them will be able to rise to the top in the future.


    Shen Tian took a few glances and wrote down the names on the list. Then he put the paper into the teacup and burned it. Seeing this, the green grass next to him rushed forward and poured the ashes into the flowerpot beside him. He washed the teacup with tea and put it back to its original position. Now, in addition to some tea stains left in the tea cup, we can no longer see the others. It''s not the first time to do it.


    Instead, Shen Tian took a look at the camellia that had been watered with tea and said with a smile, "don''t just water it in this pot of flowers. There are few of them in leisurely. What''s her baby like. I don''t know how to be distressed if I know that I''ve been tossed by you with tea every day! "


    Qinghe sneered, "it''s easy to be a slave. This flower is the tallest in the hall. I don''t think it''s inconspicuous inside! The flowers are almost blooming. Why don''t you let me change them tomorrow? "


    Shen Tian nodded slightly. "It''s OK to carry it down and let the gardeners take good care of it, so that it won''t happen to me if the tower stays here. I''ll move it back next year." At this time, another confidant of Shen Tian''s, Qiushi, came in and whispered in Shen Tian''s ear, "the first assistant, Mr. Zhang, has already made an official pledge."


    Shen Tian was a little surprised when he heard that "if the palace remembers correctly, Zhang Xiang is only about sixty this year, and he is healthy all the time. How can he suddenly become an official?"


    Although she is also very envious, she will not act rashly at this time. The key is to pull Zhang down. She doesn''t have the right person to be the first assistant. Li Bu Shang Shu is her uncle, so there is no doubt about her political position. However, there have always been unwritten regulations in the cabinet, and the Minister of the Ministry of officials is not included in the cabinet. Although she also has her hands in other films, they are still far from the height of Shangshu.


    Shen Tian pondered for a while, and then frowned. The most qualified person in the cabinet was Xiang Shu, the Minister of rites, and Xiang Shufei''s grandfather in the palace. There''s something wrong with it!


    She looked down at the bright yellow Phoenix robe on her body. Although her identity was noble and boundless, it was full of shackles and hidden arrows?


    Shen Tian thought for a moment, looked up at the pot of Camellia path, "this pot of flowers is not energetic, let Mrs. Shen come to have a look tomorrow. I haven''t seen sister Xi for some days. Let her come in and let me have a look. "


    Leisurely after receiving the palace''s will, he felt a little strange. Shen Tian seldom called his mother''s family at random. I don''t know if something happened this time.


    Although she has no bottom in her heart, she still has a good life and instructs her sister Xi. The next morning, my aunt and sister-in-law dressed up and rode to the palace.


    Fortunately, their new house is close to the Forbidden City. In less than half an hour, the carriage arrived at the gate of Dakang.

 Chapter 424

    Shen Tian had already sent his entourage to wait here. Seeing them coming, the man quickly welcomed them and said with a smile, "I''m looking forward to my wife and girl. My mother is waiting for you in the palace."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "Lao Gonggong has been waiting for a long time. How is your mother recently?" Said while quietly stuffed a purse in the past.


    The waiter took the purse and laughed more sincerely. "Everything is fine, but I miss my relatives."


    Several people said while moving forward, but did not feel that the road is far away. After a while, when I got to Fengning palace, there was a servant girl from Shen Fu waiting outside the palace. Seeing them coming, he walked quickly to meet them and said with a smile, "I haven''t seen you for a long time, madam. You are more elegant than before."


    Then he took another look at Shen Xi. "This is Miss Xi. I remember when I first met her, she was a little girl. This time, she has become a graceful young lady."


    Leisurely return way "still say she, don''t you also? When I went out with my mother, I was not a few years older than her, and now I am also a dignified third grade female official. Now who will not call you aunt in green? "


    The green dress pursed a smile, "Madam knows to tease maidservant, all are three grades, I this three grades and you that three grades Gao life but no match."


    Then she said, "the lady is receiving the old lady. She told you to go in directly."


    So leisurely aunt and sister-in-law went into the hall under the guidance of green clothes and gave Shen Tian a gift. At the bottom of the hall sits an old lady with gray hair, and beside her stands a middle-aged woman about 40 years old, who is somewhat similar to Xiang Shufei. It should be Xiang Shufei''s mother.


    Leisurely carrying Shen Xi, he rushed to the old lady and made a salute. "I''ve seen Xiang''s wife, Xiang Gong''s people."


    Xiangjia''s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law only nodded slightly. She didn''t care. She stood up straight. Shen Xi was still young. She didn''t expect that the other party would treat them so slowly. It was still in front of the empress. Now her face was not good-looking. It''s just that I''m concerned about the occasion.


    Shen Tian, sitting at the top of the table, naturally saw all this in her eyes. She sneered in her heart. She didn''t know how Xiang became a minister of rites? Zong''s family members have no manners. No wonder Xiang was so arrogant at the beginning!


    She dropped her eyes and said in a soft voice, "take the chair to my sister-in-law and cousin and sit down." Then he recruited Shen Xi and said with a smile, "come, sister Xi, come with me and let me have a look."


    Although some days have gone by, the people in front of us have become the mother of a country. But in Shen Xi''s heart, the other side is still the cousin who once taught her to read and read. This meeting also don''t wriggle, big square square of walk to Shen Tian front.


    Shen Tian took her hand and looked at it carefully for a while. He said to leisurely with a smile, "sister Xi has really grown into a big girl, and I like her graceful strength." Then he told the palace humanitarian to "bring the set of red gold jewelry inlaid with eight treasures that came in front of her."


    But a moment later, the maid of honor came out with a brocade box. With Shen Tian''s signal, the maid of honor opened the brocade box and saw the precious light shining in it.


    Shen Tian checked it, took out a silk inlaid flower hairpin and put it on Shen Xi''s bun. After examining it, he said with a smile, "well, this bright jewelry is still suitable for a girl of your age."


    Shen Xi went into the palace today. Although he deliberately dressed up, he didn''t wear high-profile clothes and only wore a few simple and elegant jewelry. Now the hairpin is more expensive.


    But today Shen Tian let her into the palace, but some of their own careful thinking, do not want to let her hide, see her neck wearing a colorful wreath ring with a gold inlaid white jade lock piece, immediately said with a smile, "this hairpin and you this wreath is also a match, this box of jewelry you take back to wear." Then he and leisurely said, "Kang Ge''er should have gone to school. Why didn''t he bring Ping Ge''er over?"


    Leisurely and hastily, he said, "the child saw that all his brothers and sisters had gone to school. He cried that he was bored at home all day, and he followed his brother to school two days ago. What''s more, the child is mischievous, for fear that he will run into the noble again. "


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "what''s the point? Whose boys were not mischievous when they were young. It''s the boss. He''s just a little obedient. "


    Leisurely back way "Niang Niang this words is too modest, who don''t know the big prince since childhood steady sensible, even the emperor is often praise."


    In short, the two of you come and I go to talk about the lively, straight to the home mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hang aside, ignore.


    Xiang''s heart was full of hate. He wanted to fly to the granddaughter''s palace with wings. It was better than sitting on the bench here. But in the Queen''s palace, if the queen doesn''t let them go, can they still ask to go first?


    If he did that, it would be against Shen Tian''s wish. With such a family member who didn''t know how to be polite, it would be the end of writing to the old man''s Ministry of rites. But even though Xiang didn''t pay much attention to it, she didn''t dare to offend the basic rules after being taught by Xiang Shangshu for so many years. No matter how anxious he was in his heart, he had to cheer up and smile to listen to the family of Shen.


    Xiang''s wife is better. There is a stool to sit on, but Xiang Gong is not so lucky. Standing there motionless, his legs are going to be stiff. She secretly glanced at the stool where Shen Xi was sitting, and there was a fire in her eyes. A white girl with yellow hair also had a seat here. She was the fourth grade Gao Ming. The mother of lady Shufei was only worthy of standing like a palace maid. She couldn''t help complaining.


    In fact, at the beginning, Shen Tian didn''t really aim at them. He was just a couple of confused people. What''s the advantage of haggling with them? But these two people are also too ungrateful, leisurely two people in the end are their own mother''s family, let alone leisurely body there are three products Gaoming, is a white body, your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can not be so careless by my mother''s family''s gift! It''s just the old ones. No matter their age or seniority, they are all there. I don''t know the standing one. He didn''t even return half a gift.


    If you dare to treat my mother''s family slowly today, she will dare to neglect me the queen every day. Shen Tian is not tolerant. Although he is not easy to denounce openly, it is not easy to let his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law suffer some hidden losses on his own land?


    It took them half an hour. Shen Tian''s eyes swept away, and he seemed to have come back to himself. "Why are you two still here? Aren''t you going to say hello to the lady?"

 Chapter 425

    Seeing his mother-in-law''s and daughter-in-law''s blue faces, Shen Tian even despises that they are both old people, and they don''t even have such a little self-cultivation skill!


    Shen Tian said with a light smile, "these slaves are the same. They don''t know how to remind us to wait here for so long. I think the lady must be impatient to wait. She will send someone to her wife and to the courteous people. "


    Xiang''s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked back with a strong smile. When they got out of Fengning palace, their face suddenly drooped. Xiang Gong looks back at the gate of Fengning palace. He thinks about what his family is planning. He thinks that Shen family, a group of bitches, don''t have a good thing. When his daughter is in the back seat, she will never give them good fruit to eat!


    When they met with Xiang Shufei, they had to add more oil and vinegar to what happened today. Especially Xiang''s wife, who has always been used to self-respect at home, was not angry with Shen Tian.


    Today''s Xiang Shufei has been immersed in the backyard of the palace for many years. Now she has become a palace concubine, and she is more cautious. Hearing the complaint from his wife, he quickly stopped and said, "look what my grandmother said. The queen only stayed a little longer when she watched you get close to her mother. It''s a glory that no one else can look forward to." He winked as he spoke.


    Xiang''s wife followed her granddaughter''s eyes and saw the eunuch in the palace standing beside her. She was surprised to find that she had made some slip of the tongue and was busy. To find a reason to Shufei palace people are sent out, grandson three talent whispers.


    After Xiang''s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went out, Shen Tian sneered, "these two don''t look like the family members of the Minister of rites."


    Leisurely advise a way "is just some carry not clear of just, hear empress don''t need with them set spirit."


    Shen Tian chuckled, "who are they? It''s not worth making me angry." Then he stood up and went to the pot of Camellia and said, "I don''t know what''s going on with this pot of Camellia recently. It''s always a little dull. It''s just that you''re here. Come and help me have a look."


    Smell speech, leisurely and hastily walked over to look at for a while, and then said with a smile, "it''s OK, it looks like some waterlogging."


    Shen Tian stretched out his hand to hold a blooming flower and said, "the craftsmen in the Royal flower shop have cultivated some Camellia themselves. I''ve seen them. Although they look energetic, they don''t have the spirit you raise."


    Leisurely modest way "empress over praise, are just the same flowers."


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "I have two cuckoos from Nanyu in the back hall. They are still water. Let''s go and have a look."


    Naturally, there are not only two rhododendrons in the back hall of Fengning palace. At the beginning, the Empress Dowager liked orchids. There were many orchids here before they could be transplanted. There were also many exotic flowers and plants. Although most of them were plain in color, they were not conspicuous, but they smelled delicious and fragrant from a distance.


    They chatted among the flowers, and the palace people were far behind.


    Just as she was talking, someone from the palace came in and said, "tell me, the Empress Dowager has heard that Mrs. Shen and Miss Shen are here. She wants to invite them to talk."


    Shen Tian said with a smile, "since the Empress Dowager called each other, you can go there." She should have finished what she said.


    So leisurely took Shen Xi to say goodbye to Shen Tian, followed the palace to the Ci''an palace.


    The Empress Dowager has seen leisurely many times, but it is Shen Xi''s first meeting today. Originally thought that the queen and Le''an''s appearance was outstanding, but did not expect that the present appearance was more beautiful.


    Empress Dowager Meng waved and said, "good boy, come to me." Shen Xi took a look at his sister-in-law and went to the Empress Dowager.


    Empress Dowager Meng took her hand and rubbed it for a while. She went up and down in detail and said, "how old is this year? What do you read at home? " Shen Xi answered one by one. Although he was a little nervous when he saw the Empress Dowager for the first time, Shen Xi was still generous and didn''t seem to be timid. Seeing the Empress Dowager''s gentleness, Shen Xi gradually became less nervous and became more calm in answering. Empress Dowager Meng had always liked young girls, so she was more happy to meet Shen Xi.


    It happens that Xia Zhaoyi, no, should be called Princess Xia now. After the great deeds of the former Emperor, the widows of the former Emperor are naturally given preferential treatment nowadays, especially the concubines with children are basically upgraded. Xia Zhaoyi was successfully promoted to Princess Xia.


    This is not, Princess Xia with daughter nine princess came to give empress dowager Meng hello. Speaking of it, because leisurely she had been unhappy with Fang Xinsu, she was punished by the Empress Dowager. Now when I think of the past, Princess Xia can''t bear to look directly at her young and frivolous self. How could she have been so stupid at the beginning and offend people who have nothing to do with her? It''s ridiculous to think about it.


    Back to God, Princess Xia looked at her leisurely eyes with a little uneasiness. They have seen each other before, but they can say a few words. Until she saw Shen Xi beside leisurely, Princess Xia suddenly felt her eyes brightened. Even after spending so many years in her own harem, the little girl in front of her also made her feel beautiful and lovely.


    Although Shen Xi and Shen Tian are far from each other by blood, to outsiders, there are some similarities between the two sisters. In particular, the unique oval face of the Shen family makes them imagine a lot.


    It''s just that Shen Xi is a little more beautiful and gentle than Shen Tian, who has spent many years at a high place. He also has the unique coquettishness of a young girl. It''s easy to attract the favor of older women rather than repel them. In fact, to put it bluntly, no matter what age, it depends on the beauty!


    Princess Xia took Shen Xi''s hand and looked at it for a long time. Then she said with a smile, "it''s true that the empress has such an outstanding sister in her family. She doesn''t call her to the palace earlier to let us open our eyes and just hide people at home. Is it difficult to be afraid of being robbed? "


    One sentence made empress Meng laugh. She pointed to Princess Xia and said with a smile, "isn''t it true that other girls are too young to stand the teasing? Especially if someone like you, who has a son, wants to abduct someone again, won''t it make the queen more worried? "


    Princess Xia said with a smile, "I used to think that although my little eight was not very outstanding, I could take the hand. The girls in Beijing were not worthy of their son. Today, I met Miss Shen. It''s not that I have a high eye. It''s that I haven''t seen anything good. Now let me say that my little eight is not worthy of others. "


    Empress Meng and Princess Xia are there, you come and I go, leisurely can''t get in the mouth, but they are secretly worried. How do you listen to this tone? Princess Xia seems to have taken a look at Shen Xi''s meaning?


    She wondered in her heart whether the empress knew what Princess Xia was going to do, or whether it was originally arranged

 Chapter 426

    Wen Yan leisurely felt a little uneasy. For Shen Xi''s future, she and Shen Ze once said that they didn''t want to let her marry into a big family to live in, hoping to find a middle-class family with a simpler family.


    Leisurely, not sure of the truth in the words of Princess Xia, she had to reply with a smile, "the empress of Princess Xia is really joking. What kind of girl is not worthy of the eight princes'' imperial concubines? Only my little sister-in-law, who was lost when she was young, and her brother and I have been spoiled. Now we are quite dignified here, and we love to play and make trouble at home. "


    Princess Xia said with a smile, "what''s the point? It''s normal for such a big girl to love to play and make trouble. When I was such a big girl, I also liked to play and make trouble with my sisters. "


    Empress Dowager Meng also said with a smile, "well, it''s just better for such a big girl to be more lively. She''s as free as that wooden stake. Otherwise, at the age of AI Jia, I don''t have enough energy to play. " With that, he took a gentle look at Shen Xi. "The child''s eyes are flexible. I think he is flexible." At the beginning, when Ying''er left, was she this age?


    Both of them are smiling, praising Shen Xi. Leisurely, they can only be modest occasionally. Her face is a pair of and have honor Yan appearance, but in the heart can''t help but heavy a few minutes.


    After coming out of the palace, on the carriage back home, he was carefree and full of worries. However, looking at Shen Xi''s joyful appearance, he had to work hard to cope with it. Leisurely thinks that she is still young, some things should not let her know too much.


    When they got home, both Kangtai and Yulian were worried about the two people entering the palace, so they came to the main courtyard early after school in the afternoon. See two people come back safely, nature is very happy.


    In particular, Shen Xi also got a lot of things from the Empress Dowager and the empress. After the servant girls carried them in, they even set up a small Kang. Boys pour just, but casually, see mother and aunt are safe and sound back, there is no worry, then went to the garden.


    Although Shen Xi was usually quite steady, he was young after all. When he entered the palace for the first time, he got so many rewards that he was naturally happy. Although she had seen and used many of the things in the palace, they were not as good as those given to her alone.


    When Shen Xi was happy, he couldn''t help showing off and said with a smile, "I was shocked when I heard that the Empress Dowager was going to be summoned. After all, I didn''t have any preparation in my heart. Fortunately, my sister-in-law calmed me down. Later, when I met the empress dowager, I found that her dignified and solemn appearance was not the same as I imagined. She was very gentle and kind, but there was an indescribable grace between her actions. It was really amazing. I also met a princess Xia and nine princesses there. The nine princesses were born by Princess Xia. They were only four or five years old this year. They were not arrogant. They were already very regular in their actions. And the empress of Xia Taifei is also very refreshing and amiable. " Pointing to the objects on the Kang, she pointed them to Yulian and her daughter one by one. "This is from the empress dowager, this is from the empress dowager, and these are from Princess Xia..."


    Shen Tianshang''s jewelry is valuable, but it''s his cousin. There''s nothing to say. The Empress Dowager''s reward is also quite regular, that is, four pieces of fashionable materials and a seven treasure wreath in the style of Begonia.


    However, the things that Princess Xia sent are somewhat unpredictable. Two pieces of satin are just the same. In addition, there is a pair of white jade carved phoenix pattern hairpin. Needless to say, the quality of jade is naturally the best Hetian white jade. It is warm, delicate and lustrous. However, the pattern of the jade hairpin is not thought-provoking. In the Dakang Dynasty, there were strict rules on the wearing of jewelry, and the phoenix pattern was always only used by the royal family.


    Although the jewelry they wear on weekdays is often called "big phoenix hairpin" or "little Phoenix hairpin", they are all bird patterns similar to Phoenix. It''s just a nice name, not a real phoenix pattern.


    If to this meeting, leisurely still don''t know Xia Taifei''s meaning, then she also white through so many years.


    At this time, Tao Liang also saw the hairpins. She took a look and said, "the hairpins are really beautiful. The jade is very precious. Is the Phoenix carved on them? The sculptors are really wonderful and lifelike. " This words a, originally didn''t realize of Shen Xi first changed facial expression. Since she was born, she has been walking among the big families and naturally knows these rules. When Princess Xia gave her a hairpin, she didn''t look at the pattern on her head. She just thought it was an ordinary hairpin. Now taoliang said that, she picked up a hairpin with some trembling, and then looked helplessly at leisurely.


    "It''s OK. It''s just a pair of hairpins. Everything is up to your brother and me. " See her a pair of six gods have no master of appearance, leisurely and comfort way "you today also tired, first go back to the room to change clothes, good life rest for a while." Then he said, "pack up all these things and carry them to the girl''s room." Instead, he left the hairpin quietly.


    Shen Xi some absentminded took the servant girl to walk, even leisurely afterward words all didn''t hear clearly. Otherwise, with her usual thoroughness, she will surely share the materials with everyone.


    Seeing Shen Xi''s absence, Yulian''s mother and daughter are surprised. Yulian has been walking around a big family, and she seems to feel something in her heart. Although Tao Liang was not very clear, he didn''t ask again. Mother and daughter saw leisurely a tired look, said a few words and left.


    In the evening, when Shen Ze came back, he leisurely said what Shen Tian told him. After hearing this, Shen Ze frowned and said, "I know. I''ll check these things myself. You can rest assured. This Xiang''s home is not a small scheme. He has been very restless these days. "


    Leisurely and worried, he said, "I''m afraid it''s not just Xiang Jia. I''m afraid there''s no leisure behind the others. The outsider only looks at our empress, but who can see her these are not easy. There was a man in the harem with a sinister mind. If he was careless, he would be doomed. I have a good relationship with Princess Zhou. Is she in charge of the house now? As usual, there are people who make demons. It''s not easy to be an ordinary Royal daughter-in-law, and it''s even more difficult to be a queen. "


    Shen Ze holds her hand. "It''s hard for you to understand the empress."


    Leisurely looking at him, he said, "it''s good for you to write down the lady''s orders. There''s another thorny matter here, which concerns sister Xi''s life, but we have to deal with it carefully." Then he took out the hairpin and put it in front of Shen Ze. "This is what Princess Xia gave Xi Er when she entered the palace today." Then, she said again what Princess Xia said and did today.

 Chapter 427

    After listening to the leisurely narration, Shen Ze can''t help but take the palm of his hand and rub the armrest, pondering, "you can relax first, it''s no big deal. With our family now, it''s just a princess, and my little sister can do it. "


    Leisurely sighed, "I''m worried that the Royal daughter-in-law is hard to do. It''s not as good as ordinary people. My younger sister has a soft temper. If she is wronged in the future, it''s not easy for us to reason with her. "


    Shen Ze patted her on the shoulder and said, "I haven''t got a word yet. What do you want to do in the long run? It''s just a trial. When you enter the palace next time, it''s not too late to ask the empress what she means


    He nodded leisurely and said, "that''s all I have to do. But sister Xi seems to be scared. I''ll go and see her. "


    Shen Ze got up and said, "I''ll go out with you. It happens that I have to go to the study to deal with some business." They went out of the main courtyard together. Shen Ze told them, "you don''t have to worry too much about it. It''s no big deal."


    After they separated, leisurely went to Shen Xi''s yard. The woman who was guarding the yard saw that she was coming and helped to open the door. "Grandma is coming. Please wait. The stones at the door are not smooth."


    When Shen Xi heard the news, he put on his coat and said, "how can my sister-in-law come back so late?"


    Leisurely see her face is OK, in the heart relaxed breath, smile way "also nothing, think today you first time into the palace, walk so some road, don''t say still stand for a long time, afraid you tired, so come to see you."


    Two people carry each other into the room, Shen Xi orders his servant girl moon trace way "to bubble a pot of Phoenix Narcissus, don''t let the little servant girls spoil the good tea, you go to stare at." The moon trace promised to go, conveniently closed the door. It''s hot in summer, and the stove for boiling water is put in the shade under the corridor. While the moon is burning water here, it helps the master stare at the door to prevent someone from disturbing him.


    Waiting for the servant girls to quit, leisurely just patted Shen Xi''s hand and said, "it seems that you are much more stable than I thought. I''m afraid you''re worried and can''t sleep."


    Shen Xi said, "in the future, no matter who you marry to, you will just change from one yard to another. Even if you really marry to that house, you will only have more rules. What''s the difference between the others? My brother is a good man and our house is clean. But the students in the school, which family is not a bunch of concubine sisters? It''s the same competition everywhere. " Since she was 15 years old the year before last, leisurely would tell her some rich gossip and marriage leave in private. So Shen Xi and his sister-in-law don''t talk about marriage at all like ordinary girls.


    But this saying is reasonable, let leisurely for a moment don''t know how to speak. Maybe this is the difference between the aborigines and the walkers. No matter how big the walkers are, they may not be able to accept the concubine system here for a while. But a lady like Shen Xi, who has been used to it since childhood, can naturally accept it.


    Leisurely had to say, "it''s hard for you to think so thoroughly when you are young. You can rest assured that everything is with your brother and me. In the future, no matter where you marry, your brother will protect you from injustice. "


    Shen Xi said with a smile, "I know, sister-in-law. I don''t know what would have happened if my brother and you hadn''t protected me and spoiled me all these years! " Although she has no parents, she has always been very comfortable, even more carefree than many girls with both parents. Although some girls secretly dislike leisurely family background, they are envious of her exquisite dress and money.


    Leisurely embrace her shoulder "silly child, we own people say these why? As long as you are well, your brother and I will be happy. It''s not easy to be a woman in this world. Remember, no matter what happens in the future, there will be a family behind you to rely on. "


    Shen Xi nodded deeply.


    Under empress Shen Zede''s instruction, she sent people to investigate the Shang family''s situation, but there was no big harvest. She had to send people secretly to monitor the Shang family. On the 15th day, as a rule, the family members of the concubines in the harem can visit the palace. Leisurely early in the morning, he made an appointment with Han. On this day, he went to the palace to greet Shen Tian.


    Today, there are quite a number of female dependents who have entered the palace. They have been in Fengning palace for quite a long time before they are quiet. Shen Tian waved his hand to let the palace people back down. He said wearily, "we niangs can finally speak quietly."


    Leisurely said: "the last time the empress ordered, Xianggong has let people to check, but there is no news yet."


    Shen Tian nodded, "well, let people stare first!"


    Seeing that there was no outsider beside him, Han asked, "is that Xiangjia? Is there anything else they can do? "


    Shen Tian sneered, "which of these concubines doesn''t have any calculation, it''s just that Xiang''s family is the most obvious."


    Han said with a sneer, "it''s really funny. Who knows the details of his family? Mrs. Xiang is just a stepmother. Now she''s like the lady of the Minister of rites all day long. I don''t know if she''s in trouble! "


    Hearing Han''s words, Shen Tiansi cableway said, "I remember what my mother said. Xiang Shangshu''s first wife seems to be Ding Anbo''s aunt, right?"


    Han replied, "isn''t that right? Although the aunt of the Feng family was a concubine, when she was born, her family was still a duke. I vaguely remember that she was raised by the old lady of Ding''an, and her manners were quite outstanding. I often listen to adults praise her. It''s just a pity that you have a bad life! If she were still alive, Xiang''s home would not be as chaotic as it is now! "


    Leisurely, hearing that this is also a concubine, I think of the girl Feng who doesn''t know her life and death. I can''t help saying, "how are all the concubine girls of the Ding''an family like this..." finally, I don''t know how to describe it.


    Han echoed: "it''s strange to say that it''s hard for the Feng family''s legitimate branch to have a legitimate daughter, but there are quite a few outstanding concubines. Although our concubine Feng was born directly, she was born in the second room, which is really a side branch. "


    At this time, Shen Tian suddenly said, "in terms of seniority, Xiang Shangshu''s first wife should be uncle Ding''s aunt, right? I heard that at the beginning, the aunt of the Feng family was unfortunately killed by two dead bodies. There were many doubtful points. Although she was born a concubine, she was Uncle Ding''s aunt in the end. If she was really wronged, even if she went there, her heart would be unfair. I don''t know whether Ding Anbo had been entrusted by his ancestors to dream in the middle of the night


    With that, Shen Tian looked at leisurely, "I remember you still have some friendship with Mrs. Ding Anbo. After you go out of the palace, you might as well ask Mrs. Feng to see if there is an ancestor pleading for injustice in a dream."


    Although this is the hot season, leisurely can''t help shivering after hearing this.

 Chapter 428

    She took a deep breath, calmed her mind, and respectfully replied, "when I saw Mrs. Feng last time, I thought she didn''t look well. I think there must be something bothering her. The minister''s wife will visit again when she comes out of the palace. "


    Wen Yan, Shen Tian nodded with satisfaction, and then talked about other things with Han.


    One side of leisurely is full of worries. Less than half a year after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, the fight between the harem has been so deep and hot. The fight for the right has not been leveled, and another wave has arisen. I don''t know when it will end?


    But now, there is no way out for their family. They do not fight, does not mean that others do not fight.


    In the chat, Shen Tian takes the initiative to mention Shen Xi''s marriage. "I think Princess Xia''s intention must be to tell you that although the eighth Prince is only working as an assistant in the house of internal affairs, it''s a serious job. What''s more, the emperor said that after the first emperor''s annual sacrifice, these brothers would have to seal it again. It''s not nice to say that those brothers in front of them could not be rewarded. Among the younger brothers, they belong to Lao Ba and the Holy One. They have a little love for incense. At that time, a princess can''t run away. If this marriage can be done, it will be quite respectable. "


    Leisurely back way "respectable not respectable minister wife is not thought about, I and my husband before talking about Xi''er''s marriage, never thought up.". Originally, he was preparing to find an innocent middle-class family. His mother also knew that Xianggong had always been fond of Xi''er. Knowing this, I''m afraid that Xi''er will be wronged in the future. It''s hard for him to come to the door to reason. "


    Hearing this, Shen Tian said with a smile, "don''t mention you. Sister Xi lived in my family for a while when she was a child. I grew up looking at her. Don''t I love her? The temperament of the eighth Prince is not only among the princes, but also among the great princes in Beijing. In addition, Princess Xia is not so mean and unreasonable, so I agree to this marriage. "


    She took a cup of tea, took a sip of tea, and then said, "I know what your husband and wife are thinking. I don''t want her to be wronged, but who can guarantee that if you marry her to a middle-class family, you will live a safe life? We all know that some people just look good on the surface, but inside they are a mess. And if the royal family is in trouble, they have to abide by the rules of face. Since Princess Xia opened this mouth, she meant to show her kindness to our family. With her, there will be no big trouble in Laoba''s house in the future. What''s more, I see that sister Xi is more and more aggressive. If I marry her to an ordinary family, can I protect her? No matter how powerful my cousin is, he will only be a relative of his mother''s family. I''m afraid that some things are just out of reach! "


    Leisurely back to the way "from that day back, I and my husband also discussed, these principles can also understand. What''s more, since the empress has agreed to this matter, our husband and wife have no more opinions. It''s something that people can''t even hope for. It''s just in our house. I think about it in this way. I wish I didn''t say we were hypocritical. " What if you don''t agree? Can you twist your arm over your thigh? In addition, Shen Ze secretly inquired about the personality of the eighth prince. They all said that he was gentle and polite, and they were more or less at ease.


    Shen Tian smiles and shakes his head. "It''s this forward-looking that makes you valuable. It shows that you are really thinking about sister Xi. It''s not the same as those who want to make their daughter rich. But now it''s still in national filial piety. We just have a number in our hearts, and there''s no need to publicize it everywhere. If anything happens in the future, it won''t damage Xi''s reputation. "


    Han echoed, "this is true. How important is a girl''s reputation? Naturally, we don''t talk too much, but we don''t know about Princess Xia... "


    Shen Tian said in a deep voice, "don''t worry, Princess Xia is a smart woman. She naturally knows what to say and what not to say."


    After finishing their business, the three of them relaxed a little and were talking about the gossip of the capital. Suddenly, a maid in waiting came in and said, "tell the empress back. It''s no good. Miss Chen just fell down in the imperial garden and saw red on the spot. Now she has been sent back to her bedroom."


    "See red?" Shen Tian suddenly stood up and asked, "is xuantaiyi there?"


    The maid in waiting said, "it has been announced. This meeting should be on the way." Shen Tian immediately ordered that "the emperor''s descendants are of great importance, and then let people go to ask the Qin imperial doctor and Yan imperial doctor to pass."


    Then, she said to Han and leisurely, "this matter is very important. I need to see it myself. My mother and sister-in-law will go out of the palace and go back to the house first." Then he said to Qinghe, "send your mother and sister-in-law out of the palace in person."


    Then he left like a gust of wind.


    Although Youran and Han are worried about Shen Tian, after all, if something goes wrong with the pregnant imperial concubine, the queen will have the responsibility that is hard to shirk. Therefore, naturally, both of them are looking forward to Chen Meiren''s success and mother and son''s safety. It''s just that the rules in the palace are so big that they can''t wait here all the time. They have to go out of the Palace first.


    On the way, Han said anxiously to you ran, "I remember that this beauty Chen is more than eight months pregnant. If she falls down in such a big month, it is likely that she will give birth prematurely. It''s said that she will live seven or eight days, and I don''t know if she can give birth to the emperor''s son safely. "


    Leisurely comfort way "palace with the emperor''s Dragon protection, Chen beauty will be able to safely produce." She can''t even say that. It''s so easy for Chen Meiren to get through this month. She will be very careful. She can follow other people''s way, which means that the other party has made a dead hand, and naturally will not let her give birth safely. But now it''s hard to say it openly. All we can do is hope that Chen Meiren and her baby will be lucky and survive this disaster.


    Leisurely with the Han family back to the government and other news, in the evening, the palace came a not very good news, Chen Mei life next little prince, but she fell and was frightened, unexpectedly inadvertently postpartum hemorrhage, so went. Little prince because of premature birth, plus in the fetus by the shock, the body is also a little weak.


    Hearing that the little prince was born safely, leisurely felt relieved. As long as the prince is safe, it is difficult to involve Shen Tian. It''s not that she doesn''t care about Chen Meiren''s life and death. But for a stranger, Shen Tian''s stability is the most important. For the unfortunate death of Chen Meiren, she can only silently recite the Buddha in her heart.


    When she got the news, Han''s frown relaxed. Naturally, she and leisurely thought of going together.


    But before the Shen family put their hearts into their stomachs, just two or three days later, there were rumors all around the capital that Zhonggong was not virtuous, resulting in the lack of the emperor''s heirs.


    Then there was the imperial censor who was not very competent when she was the princess of Liang. Relying on her position as the wife, she wantonly suppressed and maimed the expensive concubine, which made the former concubine of Liang, now the lady of Shu and the princess of De, who had been with her for many years, have nothing to do!


    For a moment, the storm suddenly!

 Chapter 429

    As soon as this matter came out, leisurely and others were worried. She was a strange woman and could not enter the palace at will. Now at the top of the storm, she doesn''t want to bring more trouble to Shen Tian because of her words and deeds.


    Han''s idea is the same. Although she is worried about her daughter, she also knows that it''s even worse to be in a mess at this time. She said to Shen Ze, "I don''t know who is taking care of these moths in the dark. But the Duke hasn''t come back yet. There are not enough people in this house. I have to trouble you to find out for yourself."


    Shen Zeying said, "don''t worry, auntie. I''ll go and find out." The situation was urgent, and he went out in a hurry.


    Leisurely see Han''s face is not good, busy comfort way "aunt don''t have to worry too much, Empress''s temperament we are clear, will never do those things. But the villain bullied the empress and the Shen family before the LORD came back. Things will always be found out, and it will certainly give her a clean reputation. "


    Han cold hum a "these villains, can only do these privacy calculations, really disgusting."


    Then he thought for a while and said, "this meeting, it''s not suitable for us to enter the palace. It''s too conspicuous. It''s time for sister Su to go. I''ll send a message to her. "


    Leisurely smell, busy stand up and said, "such a thing is not very good, let the servant spread a word, or I personally go."


    Han nodded, "well, you can speak more clearly, but you''re going to be involved."


    Leisurely back to the way, "aunt, this is out of the ordinary. It''s all my family''s business. It''s all my business. I''m going now. " With no delay, he went out in a hurry.


    When she arrived at the prince''s residence, Fang Xinsu was about to enter the palace by car. When she arrived, she quickly got off the car and said, "you''re here, but it''s about your cousin?" While talking, he took her to a quiet place to talk.


    Leisurely quickly replied, "isn''t it? I was very anxious after hearing the news. I just came out from the government, and my aunt was worried. It''s just 15 years after the meeting. If we put the sign into the palace again, it would be eye-catching. On the contrary, it would make trouble for the empress. I don''t think you have different identities, so I want to entrust you to the palace to have a look. "


    Fang Xinsu said, "I went to Chuang Tzu before, and only when I got the news did I come to the city. Otherwise, this meeting would have been in the palace long ago, and I still need your advice. OK, I know almost everything. I''ll go to the Empress Dowager to say hello and explore the situation in the palace. You go home first, and I''ll send a message to you when you have news. "


    Leisurely nodded and said, "OK, be careful yourself. These people obviously want to drag our family into the water. They may not be able to cut you off. You should be alert. "


    Fang Xinsu nodded and got on the bus. "I know, there is a empress dowager in the harem. For a while, it''s not the villain''s turn to be a demon. Go back quickly." And then he went away.


    But Fang Xinsu went to the Imperial Palace in a hurry. As soon as he entered the Ci''an palace, he looked at the oppressed people in the palace. His heart sank at first, and then he said with a moderate smile on his face, "Oh, this person is really neat today."


    Then he went straight forward and asked the Empress Dowager for an. Empress Dowager Meng said with a smile, "you have not come to please the sad family for several days, and you don''t know what you are busy with."


    Fang Xinsu replied with a smile, "I heard that the blue lotus flower in Zhuangzi had sprouted this year, so I couldn''t wait to go to Zhuangzi. I wanted to wait to see the flowers bloom and come back. I didn''t expect that there was a happy event in the palace. The emperor added a new prince. I''m busy coming back to congratulate the Empress Dowager and the emperor


    Without waiting for the Empress Dowager Meng to open her mouth, a sharp female voice began to ring out: "it was a happy event for the royal family to have a baby, but it''s a pity that Chen Meiren went. The poor little prince was born without his mother. He was also very weak. I don''t know what will happen in the future! Alas, it''s really distressing to think about the emperor. It''s so easy to have an emperor''s heir in these years, but it''s so disastrous. I don''t know what''s going on? " These words all point to Shen Tian, but the palace imperial concubine of leisurely seldom has such straightforward. Fang Xinsu fixed his eyes and saw that the voice was not from others, but from Princess Feng, the mother of the king of Yue. She gave a sneer in her heart. This princess Feng was silent for a long time when the emperor left. Now, seeing some troubles in the palace, she was busy jumping out. I''m really tired of living. You, the concubine of the former Emperor, have nothing to do with the harem of the new emperor. You are so full that you have nothing to do!


    After a while, she was about to satirize the Feng family, when Princess Zhou said, "what Princess Feng said is biased. In recent years, something happened to the royal family one after another. Since the empress dowager, she has been filial for many years. It is not only the Holy One, but also the palace of kings. Why does the imperial concubine only care for the emperor? It''s not very nice to say, princess. You''re just the emperor''s side room. How about our emperor? The Empress Dowager has to worry about it. It''s not your turn to worry about it! "


    Fang Xinsu almost didn''t shout a "good" word on the spot. She looked at Princess Feng''s uncertain face and changed her eyes with Princess Zhou.


    In front of so many people, Princess Feng was reprimanded by Princess Zhou face to face, and immediately felt that her face could not hang "this palace is at least an elder, you, a younger generation, just talk to this palace?"


    Princess Zhou was also very single. She stood up and gave a salute. "It''s not my fault. I just thought about the rules of my ancestors and forgot that the princess was an elder. It''s really impolite. Next time, I''ll remember to be gentle and not let the princess be so angry when she does something against the rules. "


    Seeing that she was so generous, Princess Feng was even more angry. She stretched out her right hand to cover her forehead, and looked like she was tottering.


    Sitting at the bottom of her head is Tang Xianfei. Seeing that Feng''s appearance is not good, she quickly helps her to sit down. "Don''t be angry."


    Then, Tang Xianfei turned to Princess Zhou and said, "Princess Tai is the widow of the former Emperor. We are all younger generation. Why don''t we give up some? The princess would like to apologize to the princess. If it makes her feel unwell, isn''t it our unfilial duty? "


    She thought that if she had passed this step, Princess Zhou would follow the trend. Unexpectedly, Princess Zhou sneered and said, "before she came out of the cabinet, she was a famous talented woman in Beijing. Now it seems that the name of" talented woman "really needs to be discussed. When you use the words "widow of the former Emperor" on Princess Feng, where do you put your mother? I don''t know who taught me the rules of the empress. Have you forgotten the basic difference between the two? Or did the empress intend to confuse the public at the beginning? "

 Chapter 430

    When the big hat of Princess Zhou was buttoned down, Tang Xianfei was so angry that she didn''t dare to go on like this. She quickly pleaded, "I didn''t mean it, but it was just a slip of the tongue."


    I saw Princess Zhou''s lips tick "Empress is the master of the palace at any rate. It''s better to pay attention to her next time. This room is full of our own wives, but it doesn''t matter. But if it comes to the ears of the censor, it will be a big deal. "


    Then she no longer looked at Tang Xianfei, who was very pale. She said to Feng directly, "I don''t need to be angry. I''m just talking about the matter, and I don''t mean to aim at anyone. But the mother has always been good, even though some people forget the rules of their ancestors, but I can''t go down. Xu has been nurtured by his grandfather for a long time. He can''t tolerate sand in his eyes. He has to say a few words. Don''t annoy me


    If she didn''t explain it, it was just like adding fuel to the fire. The top of Feng''s head was about to smoke. When she pointed her hand to Princess Zhou''s nose, she was almost ready to swear.


    At this time, Princess Xia walked forward with a faint smile, held her arm and let her sit back in the chair. "Sister Feng is really sick, so she should have a good rest in her own palace. Princess Zhou''s temperament has always been like this. Her elder sister has always been generous and generous. Why did she get up with the younger generation today? This is the Ci''an palace. The Empress Dowager is still here. " The implication is that you want to spill it, and you don''t want to see whose territory it is!


    Princess Feng was even more irritated. She had suffered so much humiliation today. Naturally, she didn''t want to let it go. She was just about to open her mouth and say something. The Empress Dowager Meng, who has been quiet all the time, said, "OK, it''s rare for you to have such a complete set. It''s not easy to get together. It''s good to say something about family life calmly. You have to make trouble like this."


    She also said, "you are too. How old are you? Why do you still care with the younger generation? Didn''t you always say that your chest was stuffy a while ago? Today, I thought you were quick. I saw you cover your heart several times just now. I don''t think you have recovered from this disease. In this case, you can go back and have a rest. You don''t have to hurry to greet me. "


    Then she told her maids to say, "take Princess Feng back to her bedroom in person, and let the doctor treat her well."


    The palace maid got the instruction, took a few palace people "politely" to send off Princess Feng, and didn''t give her any chance to argue at all.


    Fang Xinsu watched the play coldly, and saw that in the end, Princess Feng was unwilling to be taken away. All the concubines of the former Emperor just stood on the sidelines, and no one begged for her. How arrogant was Princess Feng when the late emperor was there? If the king of Yue is not the one who ascends the throne today, I''m afraid it''s another situation in this hall today. She lowered her eyes and thought to herself, no wonder everyone in this palace has to fight for blood. It''s impossible not to fight!


    After taking Princess Feng away, Empress Dowager Meng glanced at the people in the hall and said in a deep voice, "in recent days, I''ve heard a lot of rumors inside and outside the palace. As Princess Zhou said, it''s just some villains who are harboring evil intentions. AI Jia believes in the empress, not to mention that she has two legitimate sons, even if she doesn''t have them. As the emperor''s original wife, she doesn''t need to play some private tricks to dirty her hands! You are not the first emperor and the second imperial concubine, or the favorite imperial concubine of today''s emperor. The empress should be clear in her daily life. When she hears such rumors, she should stop them face to face. "


    Then he took a sip of tea and said, "there are rules in everything. The rules in this palace should set an example for the world. Let alone the old fourth daughter-in-law, even if she is sad for her family, she can''t tolerate sand in her eyes. No matter what you do, you must remember your identity. "


    After that, it seems that some of them have a glance at Tang Xianfei, who seems to be from the same family as her stepmother. Empress Dowager Meng sat on the table and looked at the low profile of Tang Xianfei. She sneered in her heart. She really deserved to be a family. The manner of Tang Xianfei was exactly the same as her stepmother, who was praised as "virtuous and respectful"!


    The Empress Dowager Meng beat down, and the people in the harem immediately converged a lot. Although there were still small movements secretly, at least no one dared to talk about it openly. Fang Xinsu went to Fengning palace directly after she came out from Ci''an palace. She was relieved to see Shen Tian. "I''m relieved to see my cousin''s appearance. Although I''ve known for a long time that my cousin is not the kind of person who can''t see the wind and waves, I still have to see her in person to be relieved."


    Shen Tian put the palace affairs in his hand aside and asked people to serve tea. He said with a smile, "what''s the big deal? With a few words of gossip, I want to make a mess of myself, which is too contemptuous. "


    She went on, "I don''t think it''s anything. I''m afraid it''s my mother and they''re worried. You''re just in time. Go back and tell her I''m fine in the palace. I''m not embarrassed by this little idea. "


    Fang Xinsu nodded, "OK, I''ll talk to my aunt when I go back. What dissatisfaction did the emperor ever express when the story was so noisy? "


    Hearing this, Shen Tian sneered, "dissatisfied, I''m afraid he''s very satisfied!"


    Seeing that Fang Xinsu was a little surprised, Shen Tian said in a deep voice, "I see that my father is about to return triumphantly. At that time, the Shen family will be rewarded again. How can such a thing happen at this time? If this matter is not handled properly, the face of the queen of the palace will be trampled on the ground. Even the reputation of the whole Shen family will be affected. When my father comes back to see such a situation, won''t he be angry? If you do something out of the ordinary in anger, isn''t it just what the emperor wants


    Fang Xinsu said, "you are his original wife. Is the emperor really so cruel?"


    Shen Tian''s face looks like water. "In front of the supreme imperial power, what is the original wife? Now that he is the king of a country, what kind of national color does he want? "


    Although she didn''t care, Shen Tian was disappointed with the emperor. Just as Xin Su said, they are the original couple. Shen Tian thought that even for the sake of the faces of the two legitimate sons, the emperor should make a statement about it.


    Unexpectedly, the cousins far away in the suburbs all got the news, and the long live master was still pretending to be stupid. What we''re trying to do is to make our queen''s reputation worse? I''m afraid no one knows the truth better than the Emperor himself. Just in order to suppress the power of the queen family, let others pour dirty water on themselves. How cool!

 Chapter 431

    Originally, Shen Tian felt a little guilty about accumulating her own power in secret. After all, the emperor had not done anything sorry for her, but she was just preparing for a rainy day!


    Now that this happened, Shen Tian was very glad for all the preparations he had made. When she thought of the tragic death of Feng, she could not help clenching her fist. It seemed that some plans would be carried out ahead of time.


    In the evening, leisurely got the news sent by Fang Xinsu, Shen Tian is not serious.


    Leisurely in the heart of a sigh of relief, the evening after Shen Ze back to tell Shen Ze. Shen Ze nodded and said, "the lady is determined. I don''t think such a little gossip can hurt her."


    Leisurely sighed, "although it''s just rumors, it makes people feel frustrated. It is because of her strong temperament that I am more worried. She has been struggling all day in the palace. Is it sad that she has been splashed with such dirty water this time? If she can cry happily, she can vent her depression. Now that everything is under pressure, how can I feel comfortable? When we find out which villain did it, we''ll have to punish her, so that we can export our evil spirit to her! "


    Shen Ze touched his chin and said, "it''s almost done. It''s the same as what we thought. There''s more than one company that did it. But I''m afraid you can''t guess what''s behind it! "


    Leisurely angry at him, "when is the time, why do you want to show off? Come on, say it. " Gossip is the most annoying.


    Shen Ze said, "I''ve started to focus on Xiangjia. After a long time of investigation, I found that although Xiangjia made some small moves, he didn''t have a deep foundation and didn''t make any big moves, but he followed some rumors that were not good for her. It''s the Tang family. They used to look very low-key, but this time it happened to be their work. "


    "Tang family? But Tang Xianfei''s family? I remember her family was not very prominent Leisurely frowned and asked.


    Shen Ze said that "Tang Xianfei was born in a side branch, and her father was just a five grade official, which was really not prominent. However, the great ancestor of the Tang family was the founder of the first dynasty who had followed Taizu. It was also a hundred year old family. The descendants of the Tang family are related to the major families in the capital, and some of them are officials in the dynasty. Now the head of the Tang family is Tang Jiyuan, the Minister of Dali temple. Tang Xianfei''s grandfather and he are cousins


    After a pause, he said, "in the past, when Tang Xianfei was just a concubine in the palace, the Tang family was still stable. Now the imperial concubines in the Imperial Palace have become the emperor''s concubines. Can''t the Tang family sit down? I''m afraid Chen Meiren''s affairs have something to do with the virtuous lady in the palace. "


    Leisurely realized that "it''s such a thing. I didn''t expect to see Tang Xianfei always follow her peacefully in the past. It''s just that the empress governs the palace strictly, and the Empress Dowager looks at it. Where does Tang Xianfei come from? "


    Shen Ze sighed, "things are related to the harem. We don''t have a clue about some things at the moment. Why don''t you go and discuss with Princess Le''an tomorrow. " Fang Xinsu still has some old people left by the Empress Dowager. After many years in the palace, they may know some inside information.


    The next day, he went to talk about it with Fang Xinsu leisurely. After a little meditation, Fang Xinsu said, "you don''t have to worry about it. Just leave it to me. They don''t think about how to serve the imperial court. They just work hard on these privacy calculations. They really can''t get on the table. "


    Leisurely echoed, "well, if it''s true, it''s not easy for us to say anything. We really don''t like these secret means. It''s just that there are so many things like this. It''s one thing to deal with people. The key is to waste our time and energy. "


    Fang Xinsu nodded and said, "who said no? My cousin is also tired of them. This time, I''m going to clean up those who have extended their claws. "


    Just as they are trying to find out the mastermind behind the scenes and vent their anger on Shen Tian, news suddenly comes from the palace that the newborn Prince has gone because of his weak body. Although he has only survived for less than half a month in this world, it turns out that it was after the new emperor ascended the throne that the Empress Dowager Meng personally went to Huangjue temple to pray for the great Kang dynasty because of the constant rumors in the palace a few days ago. She also said to the Emperor, "in recent days, there has been a lot of trouble outside the palace. It''s really not peaceful. It''s time for the emperor qintianjian to have a good life and have a good heart."


    Emperor chongtian understood the meaning of Empress Dowager Meng. He thought that it was just for emperor qintianjian to make an appearance, so that he could find a reason to solve the problem. Who knows, qintianjian actually found out something.


    This is what qintianjian said to the Emperor: "I watched the stars at night and found that the seven Red Army breaking star flew to the southwest of the Forbidden City. This star is one of the four most dangerous stars, Jueming star. The Lord''s body is weakening day by day, and there will be a disaster of blood and light. The most insidious is that this star is the star that destroys Ding, and the most powerful is the son of the conqueror. "


    Hearing this, Emperor chongtian frowned, "can you find out who the disaster star is?"


    JianZheng huidao said, "this star falls into the southwest of the palace, where earth and gold coexist, and all things do not exist. Your majesty, just find out who is Jinming here. "


    Emperor chongtian frowned and said, "the southwest of the palace is big. How can we find out so many people?"


    The supervisor replied, "this disaster star is a woman. According to the fate, it should be a 23-year-old snake or a 40 year-old rat."


    So the emperor asked people to follow this to check, a check on the body of Zhou de Fei.


    When leisurely learns that Princess Zhou Defei invited herself out of the palace and went to baiyun''an to take Faxiu to pray for the blessing of the country, she feels a little confused and familiar. Is that ok?

 Chapter 432

    Leisurely, it''s no surprise that Shen Tian will attack Zhou Defei, because Shen Ze has found out about this rumor, and Zhou''s family has been involved. But she didn''t expect that Shen Tian would use such a name. After all, Shen Tian is not the kind of person who likes to visit God and worship Buddha, and it''s hard for her to come up with such an idea.


    As a result, she met Princess Zhou by chance and realized that the idea was given by her fellow traveler. Leisurely a little surprised, "I guess this idea will not come from the empress, but I didn''t expect it to be you. No wonder I think this routine is so familiar."


    Princess Zhou calmly said, "I didn''t watch many TV dramas in my previous life, but I watched this episode twice. I''ve been here for so many years. Sometimes I think, thanks to watching such a play, otherwise I might have died a long time ago. " At the end of the speech, the tone has gradually become lonely.


    Leisurely quickly took her hand and said, "fortunately, now you''ve had a good time."


    Mentioning her son, Princess Zhou''s face was a little warm. "Yes, now I''m looking forward to my son growing up and watching him get married and have children, and my life will be complete."


    Then she took her eyes and looked leisurely up and down several times. Leisurely couldn''t bear it. "What are you doing? People who look at it are hairy. "


    Princess Zhou frowned and asked, "your youngest son is several years old. How come he hasn''t moved any more? Don''t give birth to him. I''m going to give you a daughter so that I can be your daughter in law. "


    Leisurely return a way "I am to give birth to a daughter, also don''t want to let her marry to go to the king''s mansion, the rule how big?"


    Princess Zhou didn''t get angry and said to her, "isn''t it that the rules of ordinary people are not big? The rules mainly depend on my mother-in-law. In such a world, where can you find another mother-in-law who is more open-minded and reasonable than me? "


    This seems to be very reasonable, leisurely said, "I''m not pregnant now, even if I can have a daughter again, I''ll think about it seriously when I have a daughter. However, my little niece is also very good, you can also consider it. "


    Princess Zhou white her eyes, "your little niece is good, but it has been set."


    Smell speech, leisurely very shocked "settled? Who? Why don''t I know? " A series of questions blurted out.


    Princess Zhou didn''t look at her angrily. "I really want to pry your head open and see what''s inside. It''s smart to look at it everyday. I always feel confused at the critical moment. You don''t think about it. What''s the relationship between your niece and the queen? Can you let people enjoy things to your mother''s house? Is it because of you? You can''t put gold on your face. You don''t have such a big face as the princes of clans and counties. "


    Leisurely biting her lower lip, "I''m not so narcissistic, but the empress is always generous. I thought it was because of my brother''s dignity..." she knew that Enron didn''t give Shen Tian less help in private, so although Shen Tian treated the Lin family more favorably, leisurely always thought it was because of her brother. Is Shen Tian really in love with Qingfu? Now think about it, there seems to be a little sign.


    Seeing that she was lost in thought, Princess Zhou patted her hand to remind her, "you don''t have to think too much. I looked at Mrs. Lin coldly and didn''t see the way here. Even if Niang Niang has that idea, it will not be said clearly until your niece and hairpin. You don''t know anything. How to raise your mother''s family. If there''s something wrong, it''s good they don''t know. "


    Leisurely smell speech light smile a "you say right, perhaps Niang Niang just looks at Qing Fu lovely, rare two years just.". Maybe when she gets older, she won''t think about it. " As she said that, she thought of her own doubts. "I wonder how you talked about the emperor''s supervision. I heard that these people are not allowed to enter oil and salt."


    Princess Zhou sneered, "what oil and salt do not enter? If you are really the kind of virtuous person who is not compatible with the powerful and powerful, you would have gone to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Since you are an official in the imperial court, what you want is nothing more than fame and wealth. Those so-called things are not moved by foreign objects, but the weights are not enough. " With a sigh, "I also feel that the old man''s will is not very firm. If he is a little firm, let me try the truth that" people always get sick when they eat cereals ". As a result, the prepared things are useless. It''s a pity."


    After hearing this, a mouthful of tea in leisurely''s mouth almost didn''t come out. She coughed twice, and then said, "if you have to, it''s OK. But it''s a little too much to do harm for the sake of a star and a half. Even if you don''t care, you should accumulate more virtue for your children. "


    "I knew it was time for you to preach again. I just thought about it, didn''t I? But you''re right. After having this child, my heart has softened a lot. I was not a good man originally. In the past, I didn''t know how much blood my hands would be stained with... But now I regret it. I don''t care about it after I have lived two lives. I''m afraid I''ll repay my children. "


    Leisurely comfort way "know the wrong can change the great! You used to do many things because you couldn''t help it, but now you have stopped. If you feel uneasy, you may as well do more good deeds. "


    Princess Zhou sneered, "what is charity? Just like you, I donate porridge and silver. I don''t know whose pocket the scattered silver has fallen into! Even if you really help others, maybe you will raise some white eyed wolves because of Shengmi''s hatred. Isn''t that asking for trouble? "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "what you do good is to be satisfied in your heart? It''s our business to see the suffering and help or not, and it''s their business to feel grateful or not. As long as they are worthy of their own conscience, what do we have to do with whether they receive emotion or gratitude? "


    Princess Zhou had no choice but to smile, "it''s really strange that you think so. But there seems to be some truth


    Leisurely also said, "you don''t need a few taels of silver. If you take out several hundred taels or thousands of taels every year, the right is to buy a reputation for your son."


    Princess Zhou echoed, "it''s better than being attacked by those moths. When I get back, I''ll have a look. "


    At this time, in Fengning palace, Qinghe came up to Shen Tian and said, "madam, just came the news from baiyun''an, master Hui''an, because of her devotion to Buddhism and her resolution to cut off her love for the world of mortals, has been officially lost."


    Shen Tian was reading a palace newspaper when he heard that he was a clever man. He was showing weakness to me


    She asked people to send a message to her mother, saying that she would like to light an ever burning lamp in front of the Buddha and pray for her every day, so that the Buddha can bless her for peace and happiness all the year round. "


    Hearing this, Shen Tian said in a deep voice, "if she doesn''t curse me, it will be a blessing."

 Chapter 433

    Qinghe said with a smile, "she''s a prisoner now. Now she''s eager to surrender to her mother. Naturally, she doesn''t dare to make any small moves. Besides, where is Baiyun nunnery? The eldest princess is looking at it. If she lives in peace, it''s all right. If she has any strange ideas, the eldest princess will not be the first to let her go. "


    Shen Tian put down the Diao newspaper in his hand. "Now the situation is not up to her. She has to bow her head. She still doesn''t know how to resent the palace."


    Qinghe muttered, "what''s the matter with the empress? The emperor''s will to make her become a monk is in person. The empress doesn''t treat her lightly. In other words, if they had not been big hearted, they would not have come to this stage. " Then, she said with a smile, "this time, the emperor is really facing the empress. He doesn''t have the slightest soft hand to those who slander the empress. It can be seen that the emperor still believes in the empress."


    Hearing this, Shen Tian was not happy at all. She always felt that the emperor had connived at her this time, and almost everything came according to her heart, which was not in line with the style of the emperor.


    Shen Tian sneered, "if something is abnormal, it''s a demon. I don''t know what our emperor is thinking."


    Seeing that Shen Tian was so defensive to the emperor, Qinghe sighed in his heart and gently advised, "Your Majesty may not be as the empress thought. Maybe it''s just the empress''s illusion."


    Shen Tian gently waved his hand, "forget it, don''t talk about these meaningless things. Since Zhou showed weakness, he told her not to treat her lightly in daily life. It''s just that we can''t really relax our guard. It''s better for baiyun''an to relax outside and tighten inside. "


    Both the Tang family and the Zhou family fell too fast. Before the people in the back palace and the court hall could react, the two imperial concubines with high positions in the back palace had been disposed of quickly. While sighing with regret for the Queen''s quick action, they were also in awe of her.


    Now the only one who is still in the imperial palace is Shang Shufei. Seeing that the Tang family and the Zhou family have been in trouble one after another, Shang Shufei is worried for a few days. Seeing that the matter has not affected her and her mother''s family, she is secretly relieved.


    On this day, I went to Huangjue temple in Xishan to ask for a peace talisman. I happened to meet Mrs. Ping''an who also came here to offer incense. After some gossip, they separated.


    When she went down the mountain, her car just met a group of people who wanted to go up the mountain. Leisurely today, I took a humble Zhu lunqinglie carriage, and the maid ladies took an ordinary blue carriage.


    The other side obviously didn''t pay much attention to their ostentation. Soon, a man in charge came up and yelled, "whose family are you from? We''re in the car, but the lady''s family, so we''ll get out of the way. "


    Gan song wants to open her mouth, but Su he stops her. Su he winks at her. Then he calmly said, "it''s Xiang''s wife, but I don''t know whether it''s Xiang''s wife or Xiang Gong''s wife? Our wife is the direct wife of the commander of the imperial army. She is the third grade official. You keep calling for us to get out of the way. Is it to the old lady in the car? "


    The other party was stunned for a while, it seems that he didn''t expect that Sanpin Gaoming''s trip would be so simple. But he was just stunned for a moment, and then said, "what''s wrong with the third grade Gao Ming? Our wife is the real mother of lady Shufei. Even the empress has to give her some face. "


    When the empress meets an outsider, unless the other party makes a big mistake, she will not smile at anyone? Is that respectable? Seeing that the other party was so shameless and overbearing, even Su He, who had always been steady, was a little upset. At this time, only a leisurely voice came out of the carriage, "since Xiang Gong is a man, let''s give way. At least we should give the lady such face."


    To the family''s servants got a bargain, but also sell well "or the wife is reasonable." With that, he didn''t even have the word "thank you". He swaggered back to reply.


    Gan song was impatient and said to leisurely, "madam, look at their arrogant and domineering appearance. Let''s not give way to them!" Leisurely gently frowned, "well, we don''t have to fight with them for a moment. Let the coachman pull the car aside."


    It''s quiet in the mountains. Even if it''s not close, Xiang Gong sits in the car and listens to the conversation. When her carriage passed by, she lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, took a look at the leisurely carriage, and hummed, "I think she''s interested."


    The servant girl nearby quickly flattered and said, "that''s right. She''s even higher than her wife. What''s the matter? You are the mother of lady Shufei. How many products of Gaoming flatter you? If she doesn''t know what to do, let our lady give her a good reprimand. "


    Xiang Gong''s not so sincere admonishment said, "OK, what do you say? Our empress is not in charge of the palace affairs. How can we reprimand Gao Ming''s wife at will?"


    The servant girl said quickly, "who doesn''t know that when I was in the palace, my mother was the one who was most favored by the emperor? Now entering the palace is still a favorite. Look what happened in this womb. Tang Xianfei and Zhou Defei suffered. Our empress is safe. If it is not for the protection of the emperor, what is the reason? "


    To respectful person smell speech busy Chi way "you a small servant girl know what, will talk nonsense." But the corner of his mouth rose slightly.


    After Xiang Jia''s carriage passed by, Gan song could not help saying, "Xiang Jia is too domineering, isn''t she Shufei''s mother? The lady of our country is the mother of the queen. She has never been so arrogant. It''s arrogant and unreasonable Then he muttered, "my wife is too kind, so they bully me."


    Su He lifted the curtain and scolded, "OK, you can say less." Glancing at the leisurely, she closed her eyes and said, "madam, it''s natural that she has her own reason to do this. Is it up to you to arrange it? How bold you are


    After the carriage was driven again, the breeze from the mountains came into the carriage through the curtain. Su He touched his arm and said, "the mountain wind is cool. It''s chilly."


    Leisurely opened his eyes and said, "the wind is a bit of autumn wind, it has passed the heat?" Su he said, "yes, ma''am, autumn will begin in a few days."


    Leisurely open the curtain, looking at the scenery outside, gently murmured, "after autumn grasshopper hopping for a few days, let her once again how?"


    Xiang Shufei carefully spent a few days, looking at Shen Tian, she didn''t seem to move her meaning, and slowly returned to her old style. From time to time, she competed with the emperor for a favor.


    Just when everyone thought Xiang Shufei and Xiang Jia had escaped the disaster, Xiang Shangshu was also ready to fight for the position of first assistant. A case received by Dali Temple caught their family by surprise.


    Ding Anbo personally wrote a complaint to Dali temple and sued the Minister of rites for colluding with his aunt 40 years ago.


    For a short time, both inside and outside the court looked at it!

 Chapter 434

    Although it''s quite a long time ago and most young people have never heard of it, some elderly people still vaguely remember it. After all, the government of Ding''an in those days was still the government of Ding''an. It was a time of great power, which is not the same as today. Although uncle Feng''s aunt was a concubine, she was the only daughter of the Duke at the beginning, and she was also very popular. At the beginning, Mr. Feng was afraid that his daughter would be wronged if she married to a wealthy family because of her identity. He chose Xiang Shangshu, who was born in a poor family at that time and just won the scholarship.


    It''s just that the fact that a man can''t be a jerk really has little to do with his family background. According to the idea of normal people, the married life of the grand family should be quite comfortable. The truth is not known today.


    But from the confession to the family, it can be said that Feng''s life in Xiang''s family was rather bad. At that time, Xiang''s family was just a poor family in Shanxi Province. His family had only a few hundred mu of land. Xiang''s grandfather was an old scholar, and he could hardly be regarded as a farming and reading family. The Feng family was born in the government of the people''s Republic of China. They are very respectable. They travel with one foot and eight feet. Their daily expenses of food and clothing are not to mention. Naturally, they are exquisite and valuable. After getting married, Xiang Shangshu''s mother can''t stand the etiquette style and wearing habits, even if she is deliberately restrained. Even though the original Feng family used her dowry and treated her parents in law with filial piety, she did a lot of efforts, but Xiang Shangshu''s mother still didn''t like her. They even took their favorite nieces and nephews to live at home.


    This niece is now Xiang''s wife Liu.


    According to the old slave of Xiang family, Xiang Liu and Xiang Shangshu had a beginning and end when Feng Niangzi was alive, and Liu was pregnant when Feng was about to give birth. Later, Liu paid off the midwife when Feng gave birth, and made a trick out of it, resulting in Feng''s dystocia and death, one corpse and two lives.


    He and his wife naturally refused to admit such a statement, especially when they told him that Ding Anbo had slandered him. But Ding Anbo didn''t have no reason to talk this time. He not only found the midwife of that year and the maid who had been waiting on his wife for many years as a witness, but also had the iron evidence that he embezzled his wife''s dowry from the minister.


    It''s funny to say that when Feng died in childbirth, she had no offspring. Naturally, the Feng family wanted to take back the dowry. At that time, Feng''s dowry was also quite rich. He had all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin. However, when the Feng family received the dowry, they found that many precious jewelry were missing, and even a small Chuang Tzu with an area of more than 200 mu was sold off. It was the Feng family who spent their time talking to the family. At the beginning, the Feng family lost their daughter, and the few things were nothing to Ding''an Bofu. In addition, Feng Guogong and his wife are quite dissatisfied with Xiang Jia''s style and do not want to deal with this family any more, so they have no further investigation.


    But now Chuang Tzu, who was supposed to be Feng''s dowry, appears in Liu''s name. Although Chuang Tzu was small, he was close to the Yangtian mountains, surrounded by other courtyards of high-ranking officials or royal families. Today, such a small Chuang Tzu costs more than 6000 taels of silver. In addition to this Chuang Tzu, some valuable jewelry and ornaments that were lost in those years appeared one after another in the betrothal gifts to the family''s children and grandchildren and the dowry of their daughter.


    Even if it''s a witness, Xiang Jia can not agree with it, but once this piece of hard evidence comes out, Xiang Jia is really at a loss. Xiang Shangshu even has the heart to kill his stepwife. His mother secretly hid all these things. Later, he told Liu to let her dispose of them. Unexpectedly, Liu was so greedy! This kind of clear evidence of disaster is reserved, but it''s also used in a big way.


    Even the emperor, who was quite interested in defending Xiang Jia, was quite disappointed when he heard about the incident. He no longer spoke in reply, but let Dali Temple deal with it impartially.


    Dali temple made a thorough investigation and confirmed that Ding Anbo didn''t lie. The death of Feng was really related to Liu. Although Xiang Shangshu insists that he doesn''t know anything about this, it is a matter that he has no matchmaker with Liu and is unmarried and pregnant. What''s more, he has taken over the dowry of his deceased wife.


    This time, the Royal censors who had been lonely for a long time finally got the chance. Usually, there are trivial things, and most of them are involved in minor officials. Now it''s easy to catch a second-class senior official and let them participate. These people have made great efforts and almost hollowed out their heads. They have written a brilliant memorial to impeach Xiang Shangshu. Moreover, those who have fallen into the trap have organized many charges, such as soliciting lawsuits, forming a clique for personal gain, accepting bribes and so on. There are even letters between Xiang Jia and his former traitor, Linjiang Wang Dangyu.


    It''s nothing else. Seeing that Xiang Jia actually had contacts with the rebel party, no matter whether he really participated in the rebellion or not, it was not tolerated by the emperor. Soon, Xiang''s family was ransacked for "Treason", and all the adult men in Xiang''s family were executed. All the men under the age of 16 were exiled, and all the women were not official slaves. And Xiang Shufei, after knowing these things, once begged the emperor, but in the end, she didn''t save the emperor''s mind. In despondency under swallow gold "suicide".


    After that, leisurely and Shen Ze talked about it and sighed, "I didn''t expect that the empress should have such a good eye and could find the evidence of treason to her family." She knows Shen Tian''s temperament. Even if she cleans up her opponent, she won''t deliberately frame him up. In particular, she is still involved in the crime of the nine nationalities. Shen Tian would never have done so if he had not mastered the conclusive evidence.


    It''s just that Shen Tian didn''t do this time. She was also puzzled. She asked Fang Xinsu to come and ask, "what''s the matter? It''s not brother Jane''s fault, is it


    Fang Xinsu was surprised and asked, "didn''t the empress find someone to do this? Jane told me about it yesterday. We all thought it was the evidence collected by her mother. "


    Shen Tian didn''t wrinkle, but he was also puzzled. "My staff didn''t find out about it, otherwise I wouldn''t let Xiang Jia be free until today. The people behind this do not know what is sacred, and what is the purpose of doing so? "


    Seeing her like this, Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "I think my cousin just thinks too much. Doesn''t it mean that the letter was found by accident when the officials of Dali Temple went to investigate the Feng''s case at home? Apart from the Feng family, who has such a big blood feud with his family, but if the Feng family has such ability, it won''t stay until today. "


    Shen Tian gently shakes his head, and the other side says, "I''m not sure if the Feng family did it, but the Feng family is not so unbearable. In the end, it''s a century old family, and its foundation is as deep as ours. "


    Fang Xinsu nodded, "that''s the same."


    While Shen Tian is talking to Fang Xinsu, an unexpected visitor comes to leisurely''s home.

 Chapter 435

    It''s not a stranger. It''s Tang Ying, the eldest daughter of the Tang family. Although they are familiar with each other, they seldom meet each other in private except for new year''s day and various banquets, so they are a little surprised.


    Besides, Tang Ying didn''t come by herself. She followed a ten-year-old girl behind her. She didn''t look like a first-class maid.


    Sure enough, after seeing each other, Tang Ying pulled out the little girl behind him and said with a smile, "this is one of my cousins. Her surname is Lu and her name is Qiu Yu." Then he said to his cousin, "come and see Mrs. Shen."


    As expected, the little girl stepped forward and saluted leisurely. "I''ve met Mrs. Shen."


    Leisurely see that the little girl long beautiful, elegant and beautiful, the heart has liked three points. This meeting with her soft Nuo can be everyone''s appearance, more like, reach out to pull her to his front, with a smile boast way "originally thought your cousin is a very outstanding person, originally thought you this do sister unexpectedly more outstandingly."


    Turning his head, he said to Tang Ying, "I''ve seen many women. It''s really rare for me to be as beautiful as my cousin." Speaking, he took off a pair of Hetian jade sprinkling gold bracelets from his wrist. "I''m not prepared to have a distinguished guest at the door today. Take it with a little care."


    The little girl was a little worried when she saw that the bracelet was of good quality. She turned her head and looked at her cousin. After Tang Ying''s approval, she reached for it and gave it a solemn thanks.


    Leisurely see her big square heart praise, and took the little girl''s hand eagerly asked, "how old is this year? Have you ever read any books? "


    Thanks to Lu Jiabiao, she is a quiet girl. She is not frightened by leisurely''s attentions. She still says with a smile, "if you are madam Hui, Qiuyu is eleven years old this year. She has learned a few words with her mother for several years when she is at home."


    Leisurely was amused by her serious appearance: "look at your face full of books, you will know that you must be modest. You don''t only know a few words. Girls themselves are limited by their status. They can''t travel thousands of miles. They should read more books to broaden their horizons. Let''s not listen to the saying that "a woman without talent is virtue". Let''s not say that in a family like ours, it''s a family of common people. Girls can read a few words and have less trouble living. "


    At this time, Tang Ying said with a smile, "madam, don''t praise her any more. She is also a naughty girl at home. Her sister-in-law gave birth these days. Her mother didn''t have much time to discipline her. She took a group of little servant girls to play around at home. Yesterday, I picked all the roses in my house. It''s called Rouge plaster. Her mother is so angry that I can help her find a more reliable female school and let her go to school for two years. "


    After hearing this, Miss Lu was a little embarrassed and said, "people really want to make rouge. They don''t really want to spoil things."


    Tang Ying helps the forehead and looks at her helplessly. "Even if you really make rouge, you don''t act like that. As I saw in your home yesterday, all the branches of flowers are bare poles, and there are few half open flowers left. No wonder your mother is angry. " Lu Qiuyu had no words to refute for a moment, and he turned his mouth.


    Leisurely looking at all this, she said with a smile, "such a big girl just loves to play and laugh. When she grows up, she will be sensible and don''t have to be too cruel. In the past few years, learning is the second most important thing. The key is to get to know a few girls with similar interests, so as to avoid being bored at home. There are just two places left in Shen''s women''s college. If you don''t think it''s not as famous as Wenhua women''s college, I can help you introduce them. "


    Seeing that leisurely was on the way, Tang Ying took the initiative to say it and said with a smile, "I just don''t know how to say it, so my wife helped me to say it. Wenhua''s female education is good, but Shen''s is not bad. It''s the empress''s family after all. Madam is really modest. Now that my wife has opened her mouth, I have the cheek to ask her to help me introduce her. "


    This matter for leisurely is just a matter of words, she naturally readily agreed down. Then they chatted. It is learned from the conversation that Miss Lu''s mother and Miss Tang''s biological mother are of the same family, although the two families are obviously not as close as the Yongchang Marquis''s house in terms of blood relationship. But from Tang Ying''s tone, it is obvious that she is much closer to this aunt than to the whole family of Yongchang marquis. The intimacy between her and Lu Qiuyu can be seen at a glance. At noon, leisurely and warmly invited the two sisters to have dinner at home. They wanted to leave. Tang Ying said with a smile, "I''ve been bothering my wife for a whole morning. It''s really hard to give her any more trouble." Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s just a meal. What''s the trouble? I have nothing to do at home. If you don''t have anything else to do, just stay at home a little longer. My aunt and my niece will be back at the beginning of the afternoon. Since Miss Lu wants to go to Shen''s school for girls, it''s better to have a chat with them first and learn more about the situation in the school. "


    This reason is reasonable. The two sisters are really hard to refuse, so they stay.


    After lunch, Tang Ying said with a smile, "I''ve heard that Madame is a famous flower grower. Even the gardeners in the palace are inferior. Do you have the honor to visit Madame''s flower house?" Today''s leisurely is not the girl who used to rely on planting flowers to support her family. The flowers she plants today are really just for her own sake. In the past two years, she has raised many rare varieties. Besides a few close relatives, it is hard for outsiders to get money. Therefore, she has become more and more famous in Beijing.


    Leisurely doesn''t care much about it. She says with a smile, "what''s the point? These flowers are for people to appreciate. Since you are not too hot, let''s go and have a look. "


    Today''s Shenfu has set aside a courtyard for leisurely flowers, which is at the western end of the mansion. From the leisurely courtyard to here, it''s just through most of Shen Fu.


    When he got to the courtyard where the greenhouse was located, Tang Ying asked with a smile, "after walking so many roads, he only felt that the trees were full of shade and the scenery was pleasant. It was really one scene at a time. He didn''t feel stuffy and boring at all. I don''t know which master gardener drew the drawings for this house? "

 Chapter 436

    Smell speech, leisurely embarrassed to cover a smile, "girl over praise, but it is casual."


    Seeing that Tang Ying was a little stunned, Su he said with a smile, "all the plants and trees in this house are arranged by our wife, even the layout of the house is painted by her own."


    Tang Ying was a little surprised and said with a smile, "in the past, I only heard that my wife was a master of cultivating flowers. I didn''t expect that my wife had such high attainments in garden management. I really didn''t know what to do."


    Leisurely quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "this is my own house. I''m worried about it. It comes with my own preference, but I feel comfortable, and there is nothing particularly outstanding. "


    Tang Yinghui said, "it''s this casual comfort that''s rare. Compared with those majestic and majestic houses that lack some human feelings, the layout of lingfu is more intimate. Our Tang family''s house is under construction. At that time, we have to ask my wife to help us to have a look at it. "


    Smell speech, leisurely meal, surprised to ask "make sister and brother is to build a new house to move out of Yongchang Marquis house?" Asked while leading Tang Ying into the greenhouse.


    Tang Ying said with a smile, "my younger brother is going to be the year of weak crown. After the crown ceremony, you will become an adult. You will inevitably have to get married and have children. It''s not good to trouble your grandparents for a lifetime. "


    This reason is reasonable, leisurely but casually asked, even if you guess there is something wrong in it, it is not easy to intervene in other people''s family affairs, so you have to laugh it off.


    If the outside of the greenhouse is still a little stuffy, the inside of the greenhouse is cool and comfortable. The flowers in this greenhouse are not here all the year round. In winter, they are afraid of cold, while in summer, they are fond of shade and humidity.


    Several people accompanied by a return to enjoy the flowers, go back leisurely with the two sisters and go another way, enjoy a different scenery with the time. Rao Shi leisurely felt that he had good physical strength. This time, he also felt that he was physically and mentally deficient, and a lot of sweat came out of his forehead. But the two sisters were used to it, especially Tang Ying, who didn''t see her forehead sweating. Leisurely, she was secretly surprised.


    When they got back to the flower hall, before they had finished a cup of tea, they heard the servant girl say, "big girl and Miss Lin are back. They are getting off at the second gate."


    Leisurely quickly said, "tell them that there are distinguished guests at home. Come and see them first. Don''t rush back to change clothes." The servant girl agreed to go.


    After a while, Shen Xi came in from outside with Tao Liang. Shen Xi came in and said with a smile, "sister-in-law, I heard that there are guests at home. I don''t know which one?"


    Leisurely pointed to Tang Ying''s sister and said, "I''m not an outsider. Do you remember Han''s elder sister who married to Yongchang Marquis''s house? This is your brother-in-law''s cousin, sister Tang Ying, and that is sister Lu Qiuyu, sister Tang''s cousin. "


    Shen Xi and Tao Liang hurry up to meet each other. Naturally, Tao Liang doesn''t like to be called a sister. He is embarrassed to call his aunt or something. He only vaguely calls her a girl. Tang Ying was a little uncertain about Tao Liang''s identity, but when he first met them, he thought that they would be his cousin''s classmates, so he gave them a very heavy gift. Shen Xi raised an eye to see leisurely, see her tiny nod, just smile to accept. See her accept, peach good also just followed accept, a concurrent gift thanks.


    After that, leisurely said to Shen Xi, "you Lu''s sister will go to Shen''s school soon. You will be classmates in the future, but you should get along well."


    Smell speech, Shen Xi pulled Lu Qiuyu''s hand way "originally Lu''s younger sister also wants to go to school with us, good." Then he looked up and said to leisurely, "sister-in-law, I''ll take sister Lu to my yard for a while."


    Leisurely nod should be way "go, good health to take care of the guests."


    After they went out, Tang Ying turned to leisurely and said, "your sister''s upbringing is really good. She is very elegant at a young age. It''s another young girl. She looks about the same age as my cousin, but she''s quite organized. I don''t know whose girl she is? " Leisurely replied with a smile, "well, she''s two years younger than your sister. She''s my mother''s niece. She lost her father when she was young. She''s been living in our family with her mother. I''ve always been my own daughter."


    Smell speech, Tang Ying nods to answer a way "no wonder I see she and madam have two points of similarity."


    This makes leisurely a little surprised, isn''t it? It''s the first time I''ve heard people say that. Those who have seen her mother say that they are carved out of the same mold, but no one has ever said that she looks like me. "


    Tang Ying said with a smile, "in fact, it''s not a long image. It''s just that her charm is somewhat similar to that of her wife. Maybe it''s because she''s been with her for a long time and has been influenced by some factors."


    Leisurely nodded and said, "that''s true."


    Shen Xi took Lu Qiuyu for about half an hour. He said something about learning and sent her back.


    Tang Ying took a look at the sky, then got up and said goodbye. "It''s really late. We''ll visit again some other day."


    This time leisurely also did not leave them, personally sent them to the second door to come back.


    In the evening, leisurely and Shen Ze talked about the two Tang Ying sisters and said with a smile, "I see that the Lu family girl is very outstanding in appearance and etiquette, but it''s not funny to ask her about her family background. In terms of age alone, it''s a good match for brother Hong. "


    Shen zewen said with a smile, "how old is brother Hong? It''s too early for you to worry about being a sister-in-law. "


    Carefree nudge him, not angry to say "early what? But I know that my aunt has been paying close attention to the expensive girls in Beijing for two years, and she has entrusted me to take care of them in private. Some of them looked coldly and secretly for two years. Some of them said hello to each other in advance and went to propose marriage when they were old. It''s too late to save. A good girl has been picked out. "


    Although Shen Ze didn''t like it, he didn''t retort and let leisurely mutter there. After a while, he suddenly stood up and asked, "what''s the name of Miss Tang''s cousin you just said?"


    Seeing that he was so worried, he could not help but reply, "Lu, listen to Miss Tang, the two families are not close by blood, but their friendship should be very good. What''s the matter? Is there anything wrong? "


    Shen Ze shook his head gently and said, "there''s nothing wrong with it. It''s just that the Dali Temple official whose name is Lu and whose ancestral home is Jincheng was released from Henan to Beijing a few days ago."


    Leisurely and hesitantly, she asked, "that''s it. Miss Tang did say that Miss Lu''s father works in Dali temple. It''s just, so what? Isn''t it a coincidence that the letter was obtained


    Shen Ze''s strong eyebrows gathered together and said in a deep voice, "where are so many coincidences in this world? It seems that the Lu family and the Tang family need to make a good investigation. "


    Leisurely has no objection to this. "If you don''t feel at ease, just check it out. If you can''t find out anything, it just proves the innocence of the Tang family and the Lu family. If you really find out something wrong, it''s a share of the worries for the empress. "


    The next day, Shen Ze arranged for his servants to investigate the details of the two families. This investigation really found out some stories.

 Chapter 437

    In fact, Shen Ze didn''t find out by himself. He just found out that there were some problems with the origin of Lord Lu''s wife and mother-in-law. According to Miss Tang, her dead mother and Lord Lu''s wife are sisters of the same race. Later, however, Shen Ze found out that there was no daughter married in those years.


    Just when Shen Ze wants to send someone to investigate deeply, Shen Tian in the palace sends out a password, saying that she already knows the cause and effect of this matter, and orders him not to investigate again.


    Later, when I leisurely went to the palace to greet Shen Tian, I realized that Lord Lu''s mother-in-law was not someone else, but Mrs. Feng, who had been "killed" by his family. As for how she had cheated, others can not know. However, those treacherous letters were not framed, they were real. They were discovered by the dark pile that Feng had spent several decades cultivating at home.


    In the old lady''s words, "although our mother and daughter have to live in anonymity and exile for so many years, it''s not worth it to be such a black hearted guy. It''s not necessary to clean up their own affairs at home. It''s not a small crime just to straighten out their own rotten things. There''s really no need to dirty our hands. "


    Leisurely go home and talk about it with Shen Ze. "It''s said that old lady Feng didn''t expect that Xiangjia would have something to do with the anti thief. If she knew, she would report when the emperor was there. I won''t lie dormant in that remote place in the Northwest for so many years, which has wasted her son-in-law''s future. "


    After that, he said with a smile, "this old lady has a way."


    But Shen Ze still had a question in his heart: "at the beginning, Liu almost killed her. Why didn''t she ask for help from her mother''s family? At the beginning, Xiang was not a big official. If it was a big deal, why did he choose to escape? "


    Leisurely said, "the empress didn''t say any specific things. She only said that he was valued by the emperor for helping him with some private affairs. Otherwise, he didn''t dare to have anything to do with Liu. As for the Feng family, I happened to hear someone say that old lady Feng''s biological mother was favored by Duke Feng when she was alive. No matter how much Feng Guogong loves his daughter, he can''t manage the inner house. At the beginning, there were many doubts about this marriage. Mrs. Feng''s actions in those years must have some difficulties. "


    Hearing this, Shen Ze sighed, "the world just can''t see through it. They have to make their wives and concubines make a mess. Why? How nice it is to be as quiet as our family? "


    Leisurely said, "what Xianggong said is that there are too few men in the world who think like Xianggong. Most of them are concerned about sitting and enjoying the happiness of all. If Mr. Xiang was willing to take good care of his first wife after he got married, with the power of the Ding''an government and his ability, today''s appointment to his family will not be the end of the day. " Then he looked at Shen Ze with a smile.


    Shen Ze quickly patted his chest and promised, "don''t worry, madam. I don''t have this kind of mind for my husband any more."


    He seldom does such funny action, amuses leisurely to have a smile, in the heart thought again honest man also wants to knock from time to time, otherwise cannot say will have what moth.


    Once this happened, a big stone fell from the heart of the Shen family. It''s just that there are so many things involved. Leisurely has a private discussion with Shen Ze, but he hasn''t mentioned anything to others.


    Now that everything was clear, leisurely went to the government to say hello. Lu Qiuyu soon went to Shen''s school. She and Shen Xi in the end a few years, although the relationship is said to go, but not as close as and taoliang.


    Shen Xi is very open-minded about this. They are much different in age, and the topics they can talk about are limited. She has several good friends of the same age, and she doesn''t care much about it.


    Seeing that August is approaching, although the Mid Autumn Festival can''t be held in filial piety, the whole Shen family is still looking forward to Shen Mingchang''s early return and a family reunion dinner.


    It''s just that this thought has become a luxury forever. In the autumn of the first year of chongtian''s reign, Shen Mingchang, a loyal and benevolent Lord, died of an emergency on his way back to Beijing!


    When the bad news came to the capital, leisurely doubted her ears. She stood up and asked the servant of the government who came to report, "what do you say? Again, who''s gone? Isn''t it a mistake? "


    The old lady was already crying. After hearing that, she stopped crying and tried to calm down and said, "there''s nothing wrong with the words of grandma Hui. The news is from the palace. It''s really that the Duke is gone. As soon as she heard the bad news, she fainted on the spot. Now the house is in a mess, and the two young grannies can''t hold down the battle. Please go and help her. "


    Leisurely has no time to answer, hears outside to spread a burst of hasty footsteps, looks up, unexpectedly is Shen Ze big step meteor''s rush back. Just as she was about to ask, when she saw Shen Ze''s face, she asked sadly, "is the bad news true? How could that be? "


    Shen Ze asked the servant girl to get the plain clothes, and said in a deep voice, "it''s true. Uncle''s body is still at Beihai pass. I''ve asked the Holy Father to go to the North customs. First, I''ll welcome back my uncle''s body. Second, I''ll make an investigation. When I''m away, you should take care of your family and the government should take care of it more. "


    Leisurely, holding back his fear, nodded and said, "don''t worry. I''ll change my clothes in a moment. Even our family will change its decoration. It''s just that it will take several days for you to go there. I''ll take some with me for you


    Shen Ze closed his eyes and said, "OK, I''ll go to the study first. I''ll clean it up later. I''ll send you to see if my aunt has any orders."


    Smell speech, leisurely and quickly endure tears, Fengfenghuohuo to Shen Ze out a line of courtesy, and put on plain clothes. Originally in the national filial piety, the home furnishings are not very eye-catching, because it is not my own uncle, there is no need to hang a white flag at the door.


    Yulian was at home today. After hearing the news, she hurried over and gave a few leisurely orders. After trusting her family, she took a carriage and went to the government with Shen Ze.


    At this time, the white flag had been hung on the gate of the government. But after entering the mansion, leisurely saw that the people who came and went were all in a hurry with sad faces. They were not as neat as they used to be. They sighed in their heart.


    To Yuehua courtyard, Han''s face is full of tears, but he has struggled to sit up, is leaning on the edge of the bed, intermittent command family. But at this time, she was in a state of great uneasiness, and it was inevitable that she would take care of one thing and lose the other. Fortunately, several years of women in charge are all experienced, and they can''t help reminding me.


    Han couldn''t help slapping her forehead, but she was so sad that it was hard for her to recover. Glancing at the two concubines'' wives who were standing next to each other in the shape of quail, I regretted that I didn''t give them any experience because I didn''t give them too much power. This will see leisurely, but can not help but shed tears down, "good boy, you come, I am at ease."

 Chapter 438

    Leisurely also couldn''t help but wet his eyes, forced to hold back tears and said, "when I heard the news, my husband and I rushed here. Xianggong has asked the emperor to go to Beihai pass to get his uncle back. Now he''s waiting outside. What else can my aunt tell me? "


    Han took the handkerchief to wipe several times at random, choked and said, "what''s the taboo of our wives? Let him in Then she calmed down and told the servant girl, "go to the front yard and call brother Hong. In addition, tell Bai Wei to let her quickly clean up a courtesy for the young master. Don''t ask for luxury, just keep everything simple."


    After ordering these, Han struggled to get out of bed, leisurely and hurriedly came forward, and Wang took her to the imperial concubine''s couch.


    After a while, Shen Ze came in under the guidance of the servant girl. Before the ceremony was finished, Han waved his hand and said, "it''s time to do these empty rites. I''ve heard from your daughter-in-law. I''m glad you can do it. Beihai pass is a military fortress. You are not allowed to enter without permission. Some of your brothers in this house have neither fame nor title. They have a heart. They can''t deliver this will to the palace for a while. In the past, everything in this house was supported by your uncle, but now he suddenly left... "And he was sad again.


    Although the husband and wife were red faced and quarreled with each other when they were young, they still had deep feelings for decades. Especially in recent years, as they grow older, they are more understanding and considerate to each other, and their relationship will be more intimate than when they just get married. The man had beaten back the enemy, but he just returned to Beijing to recover his life. How could he suddenly die of illness? The reason is that Han didn''t think much about it.


    But she soon controlled her emotions and said in a deep voice, "Ben, you''re just a cousin. You can go or not. But the identity of the second and third is not enough. Even if they go, they can''t hold the scene. In addition, everything in this house must be made public. Auntie won''t be polite to you any more, but you can''t let yourself go. Take hong''er with you. " Wang''s and Wang''s looked at each other. They both bowed their heads and said nothing.


    Shen Ze hesitated. "The cause of my uncle''s death is unknown. Going to Beihai is extremely dangerous. Brother Hong is my uncle''s only legitimate son. His identity is valuable. Besides, he is still young. Why don''t you let him wait at home?"


    Han shook his head firmly and said, "it''s because he is the only legitimate son of Guogong that he can''t refuse some things. Since he enjoyed the treatment of his own son, he naturally had to bear the corresponding responsibility. This huge mansion is the glory of his father''s blood and tears. If he has to look forward to this danger, how can he support this family in the future? Besides, you are not young at the age of 15. When you were 15 years old, you already went to the battlefield with your uncle. "


    If Shen Ze wanted to say anything more, he heard a clear male voice saying, "my mother is right. Since it''s my responsibility, then I won''t shrink back."


    I saw a thin young man in plain clothes come in. He first gave a gift to Shen Ze and his wife, then went to Han''s and said firmly, "mother, don''t worry, I will bring my father back."


    Han nodded tearfully, "you are a good child. You don''t have to ask too much for your mother. The future is very dangerous. You should listen to your cousin''s advice in everything. You should not be reckless Shen Hong nodded with red eyes.


    Han is a decisive person. Since he has made a decision, he won''t hesitate any more. However, after a few words of advice, he said, "it''s getting late. Now that he has decided to go, don''t delay any more. Hurry up and get on the road."


    His men had already been ready to go outside the gate, so the two brothers did not delay any longer. After they said goodbye to everyone, they galloped away.


    Leisurely standing at the second gate, looking at Shen Zeyuan''s back, I can only hold back at this time, even though I am reluctant to give up. Shen Ze has been protected by the government for many years. It can be said that without Shen, there would be no Shen Ze today. Now Shen Guogong''s unexplained illness is outside. He has to go in person because of his feelings and reason. Otherwise, he will not be at ease in his whole life. Leisurely knew his thoughts, so even though he knew that his trip was extremely dangerous, he didn''t say a word to stop him. A man must have some blood to be a man. If he blindly pursues advantages and avoids disadvantages, how can he stand up to the conscience of heaven and earth? Before I could get back to myself, I heard the sound of wheels. Soon, a carriage came in. They are the second wife and Shen Xiang.


    Leisurely hurriedly welcome up "two aunts come."


    The second wife''s look was obviously a little alarmed. She had never expected this. When she saw leisurely, she was surprised and said, "when I went to the newspaper, I thought I had heard it wrong, but I never thought about it. It''s not on the battlefield. We''ve already won the battle. How can we still get an emergency that can''t be cured? "


    If you want to talk about feelings, she can''t see her brother-in-law and eldest brother-in-law in a year, so it''s really hard to talk about deep feelings. However, the Shen brothers have a good relationship. The second wife knew that Shen Mingchang was the biggest pillar of the Shen family. Without Shen Mingchang and the government and her husband''s official donation background, how could she be a fourth grade official at this age?


    Shen Ze''s position is at least from his own fighting in the battlefield. Without the protection of the government, they are also hard to get a foothold in Beijing. Therefore, hearing the bad news, Mrs. Erfang was sadder than anyone else. Even so, it may seem that the second wife is powerful. But in the final analysis, the interpersonal relationship in this world is always inseparable from the word "interest".


    As they spoke, they entered the main courtyard and saw Han''s haggard and sad appearance, which used to be graceful and noble. The second wife also felt a pain in her heart, and her tears fell down. "Sister in law, big brother, how did he leave like that?"


    Han''s heart was aroused by her crying, and her sister-in-law began to cry bitterly.


    Shen Xiang and others had to persuade him, but he was stopped by leisurely. "Since I heard the bad news, my aunt didn''t cry so much. Let her cry so much this time. It''s better to vent than to hold her in my heart all the time."


    After hearing this, everyone felt reasonable, so no one tried to persuade them. They let their sister-in-law cry. Many of the old people who are waiting on them also wipe their tears with them. A few children see adults cry, also followed to cry.


    When Fang Xinsu came to see the chaos in the room, he was also a little stunned.


    Fortunately, Han''s vent a pass, also feel a little better, looking at the yard crying a, his first stop tears. Seeing that the master did not cry, several big servant girls quickly dried their tears and served han to wash again.


    Han''s face had recovered her old composure. She called in the steward who was waiting in the yard and ordered her to go on one by one. He also said to leisurely, "there must be many relatives in the government these two days who have come to inquire about the news. I''m in a bad mood. I have to ask you to help me. Don''t go back. Stay here and take your two younger sisters and brothers with me."


    Turning his head, he said, "now the house is still busy. I''m only worried about the empress in the palace. Other people are not as cheap as you, so you have to go into the palace to have a look. "


    Fang Xinsu nodded and said, "don''t worry, aunt. I''ll go into the palace now."

 Chapter 439

    But Fang Xinsu said that after entering the palace, he went to the Ci''an palace to greet the Empress Dowager. I didn''t expect that the emperor and many imperial concubines and concubines in the harem were all here, but without Shen Tian, Fang Xinsu suddenly "clattered" in his heart, and an inexplicable uneasiness came up.


    She resisted the agitation in her heart and saluted one by one according to the rules. After that, Empress Dowager Meng called her to the front and said, "you must know the news when you enter the palace. Are you coming to see the queen?"


    Fang Xinsu had noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the main hall, but he said quietly, "it''s the Empress Dowager who knows. When she first heard the news, the whole family couldn''t believe it. It took a long time to recover. My aunt, they are thinking about the body of the empress, and specially entrust me to come into the palace to have a look. "


    Empress Dowager Meng took her hand and said with a smile, "look, it''s the blood relatives and the Queen''s body. It''s not like some people with shallow eyelids. In the end, they only care about the power of the palace, and they don''t know whether they are qualified or not! "


    In Fang Xinsu''s impression, the Empress Dowager Meng has always been gentle and generous. She seldom has such a fierce voice, and seldom makes people feel embarrassed in the face.


    But when she heard the word "power" and looked at the embarrassed faces of Zhaoyi and Zhaorong in the palace, Fang Xinsu had already guessed that her cousin must have fallen ill because of grief, and these imperial concubines must be thinking about seizing the power of the palace!


    Seeing that the Empress Dowager was angry, the emperor also laughed awkwardly. "Don''t be angry, Empress Dowager. They are also looking at the empress''s health and want to help.". If the mother doesn''t like them, she can make another arrangement. "


    Hearing this, Empress Dowager Meng sneered in her heart. She is worthy of being father and son. The emperor is as unkind as the former Emperor! How much effort did the Shen family make to help him ascend the throne? As a result, the seat under the buttocks is not stable yet, so I''m in a hurry to get rid of the grind and kill the donkey. I don''t want to look too ugly! Not to mention whether Shen Guogong''s death has anything to do with him, the people outside the Queen''s palace have helped him to worry a lot. They just died and their father fell ill. As a husband, you are not good at accompanying and comforting him. You should think about weakening her power first. What a cruel heart!


    The Empress Dowager Meng had a bad feeling in her heart, and then she said, "they are not sensible, and the emperor has forgotten the rules? There is no precedent for concubines to take charge of palace affairs in the back palace of Dakang. The emperor doesn''t like the old lady of AI family, but Shujia and the second princess are old enough to learn from the director of the long family. Even if the queen is ill, they can take the place of the palace


    The emperor quickly stood up and bowed back and said, "the empress is joking. You are at the peak of spring and autumn. How can you speak old? I have not considered this matter carefully. I went to see the queen just now. Alas, she is very ill indeed. In this way, I had to take over the palace affairs for a while after working hard. "


    The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "I''m not tired of such a little thing. What I said just now also counts. Let Shujia and the second princess come to help me share some. Well, these are all housework. The emperor doesn''t have to worry too much. He just pays attention to the state affairs. " Speaking of this, her face has softened a little. "Don''t blame the family for being so talkative. The royal family is the model of the world. How many models are there in every move? Today, if they are really willing to take the place of the palace, then the people will hold up their concubines. How much chaos will it bring? What should future generations think of it? "


    The emperor solemnly replied, "what the empress mother said is very true. It''s because her children and ministers are confused. In the future, they must be careful not to break the rules of their ancestors."


    The Empress Dowager Meng reproached him, and felt a little happy. This meeting was kind to her. "You always have a way of doing things. I think it''s because you''re worried about the Queen''s illness. In the end, the original couple, this feeling is not general. I went to see her just now. Although she felt a little sad for a while, it''s certain that her body and bones are OK. Don''t worry too much. Otherwise, if the queen knows that you worry too much about her, wouldn''t her virtuous disposition add more sorrow? Well, that''s settled. Knowing that your country is busy, I won''t leave you here. "


    There are indeed many government affairs waiting for the emperor to deal with. Seeing that the power of the palace can no longer fall to his side, he no longer tangled and left according to his words. Fang Xinsu followed the people in the hall to salute "to the emperor." The eyes that hang down but secretly glanced at the emperor''s far away figure, thinking deeply.


    After the emperor left, Empress Dowager Meng said to her, "you are the empress''s family. It''s better to be lenient. I have some tonics here. You can take them for me and let her take care of her illness. I''m still watching in this palace, and I can''t turn the world around! "


    After seeing Shen Tian in feng''an palace, Fang Xinsu was scared. "Cousin, how can you be so sick?" Shen Tian, who has always been in high spirits, has a dark yellow face and a dark green face. He looks very haggard. How can he have the glory of the past?


    Seeing her coming, Shen Tian struggles to sit up and winks at Qinghe. Qinghe sends all the people down to the palace. He and Qiushi hold the door of the palace in person.


    Fang Xinsu saw that she was very weak, so he quickly stepped forward and put a pillow behind her waist.


    Shen Tian closed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, "if it wasn''t for one of my people who knows medical skills, maybe now the Shen family would not only welcome the news of his father''s death."


    In a word, Fang Xinsu was shocked by "yes, who did it?"


    Shen Tian sneered, "besides him, who has such strength in this palace?"


    But why? You are his original allotment... "Before I finish, I can''t go on. She and Qi Heng are not the original couple? But now it''s not the same life?


    She returned to her senses and exclaimed, "aren''t you in a very dangerous situation? He can do it the next time, he can do it the second time


    Shen Tian shook his head gently and said, "this time, he will know that I have been on guard. I will not fight again for a while. Besides... "After a pause, she choked," besides, my father has gone. Our mother and Shen family are no longer a big threat to him. Father, he gave his own life in exchange for our whole family''s muddling along. " Tears ran down her cheeks.


    Hearing this, Fang Xinsu lamented, "you used to tell me that" birds are good at bowing. "You said that he was not reliable. I think you are a little worried. I didn''t expect that this man was so cruel! "


    Shen Tian quickly stopped the tears on his face. "I will get revenge sooner or later."


    With that, she calmed down, and then whispered something in fangxinsu''s ear.


    The next day, leisurely found a reason to pass the sign to the palace. If you want to say what''s different about this visit to the palace, it''s that leisurely''s side is not su he and Gan song who are used to following her into the palace, but a young woman who is unfamiliar. Of course, this is relative to the palace people of feng''an palace.


    Wang GUI, the eunuch in charge of the palace, also asked with a smile, "this mammy has a good look. It seems that she has never been in the palace before?"

 Chapter 440

    Leisurely heart a tight, complexion as usual back way "father-in-law good memory." He said, his face darkened. "It''s not that I''ve been accompanying my aunt in the national government in recent days. I''ve handed over the family affairs to my younger sister, but she''s very young and tender. I''ll let the two servant girls help her and save the time for me to make some small moves while the master is busy. It''s very annoying."


    The original words were reasonable and didn''t mean anything else, but Wang GUI had a ghost in his heart, and he was quite uncomfortable when he heard that. However, he was also a veteran in the palace for most of his life, and his face didn''t show half a point. He said with a smile, "Madam said that these undertakers would cause some trouble in a few days, but it can''t be done without hard beating. The lady is waiting inside. Please, madam


    Leisurely took the jade lotus to walk in, even if in the heart already had the preparation, saw Shen Tian''s appearance also can''t help but feel distressed to get up "Niang Niang how did you get such a field?" Now she is very glad that it was not Han who entered the palace. Otherwise, how could she live to see her own daughter like this?


    Shen Tian didn''t have half a point of sorrow, and said with a smile that he didn''t care, "it''s good to keep this life. Why do you care too much about the others?"


    Then he turned to Yulian and said, "we''ve met again. I''ll have to bother you." "It''s a blessing for women to be able to work for their wives," she said


    Shen Tian said, "although you studied medicine later, you still have talent in medicine. You don''t have to belittle yourself. There''s no need to be polite. Let''s start. "


    Smell speech, jade lotus hurried forward to give Shen Tian start pulse, after a long time slightly frowned.


    Seeing this, leisurely asked "how is the condition of the empress?"


    Yulian said in a deep voice, "this poison is a kind of chronic poison. It is colorless and tasteless. After a short time, there is no symptom. But once it breaks out, it is often the medicine stone that has no effect. Fortunately, Niang Niang Ji has her own natural appearance. It should be that what she eats can counteract the effect of the medicine and induce the toxicity ahead of time. Although it looks dangerous, as long as you have a good health, you can recover in a month or two. "


    Then Qinghe led her to the other side to write the prescription.


    Leisurely some don''t understand of see to Shen Tian "the imperial doctor isn''t every half month to give Niang Niang check a peace pulse?"? Since someone poisoned, how could the imperial doctor not find out? " Speaking of the end, I suddenly realized that it was the emperor! If there is anyone else in this palace who can make the whole Taiyi hospital keep silent, only the emperor can do it.


    She sighed, "we Shen family and empress have no place to be sorry for him, why doesn''t he read a little old love?"


    Shen Tian sneered, "in front of authority, it''s not worth mentioning any affection. Have you forgotten how Feng''s concubine got there? Now he''s just doing the same thing again, trying to repeat the old story to me. I had a chance to escape, but my tired father lost his life for me. " When it comes to the end, it''s hard to avoid feeling down.


    Leisurely quickly comforted: "people are doing things, and the sky is watching. If they do more injustice, they will die. Some causes and effects are not unreported, but the time has not come. But now it''s not hard. We have to keep a low profile for a while. We just want to aggrieve the empress. "


    Listen to this, Shen Tian praised three points in his heart, "what you said is exactly the same as what I thought. You go back and slowly tell your mother about this, and ask her to write a letter to the clan. We Shen family will be dormant for some time. Next, I''m afraid I''ll be suing her for a long time. No matter what rumors there are, I''ll tell her not to take them seriously. " Han is a newly widowed woman. In order to avoid taboos in the palace, it''s hard to enter the palace before filial piety.


    Leisurely nodded and said, "this palace is full of traps and frightening steps now. We can''t help anything outside. Please take care of yourself."


    Seeing that it''s time to go to the palace, the more leisurely it is at this time, the more reluctant it is to do something beyond the rules to discredit Shen Tian. The words have been said clearly, and the prescription has been opened. Leisurely finally gives Shen Tian a serious salute, and then leaves the palace. Back to the government, leisurely see that Han has a lot of energy, he thought about the things said. Han''s heart has long had a guess, and now it has been confirmed, but also with a long sigh, "at the time of the emperor''s wedding, I was still glad that the fifth prince was not well-known, and I don''t think he would be involved in the dispute of seizing the throne. Later, he won the title of king of Liang. I knew in my heart that he was not as harmless as he appeared. Later, as soon as the prince died, I pondered how our family could not avoid this dispute. Since ancient times, it has been a common method for the superior. But we, your majesty, are too anxious. "


    It was not only the Shen family that sighed, but also the courtiers who saw something strange. But this thought was just a flash in their hearts. They were all busy trying to divide the political resources left by Shen Guogong after his death. It''s just a good abacus, but it''s all empty handed.


    Without him, none of Shen''s own nephews were officials in the court. Shen Ze, the only one who is close and in a higher position, is only a family nephew in terms of etiquette and law, and is not in the line of filial piety. His two sons-in-law are not bad, one is the vanguard of Sipin, and the other is the magistrate of Sipin. It''s just that no one who is a son-in-law resigns to keep filial piety because of the death of his father-in-law. Therefore, when a Duke of the Kingdom went, they didn''t find a good one. It''s really frustrating.


    No matter how upset they are, before Shen Mingchang''s remains come back, the door of the Shen family is closed and no visitors are seen. Shenjiahe, including those from Jinzhou, were all restrained when asked.


    Leisurely did not know that day, not long after she came out of the palace, Princess Zhou went to Fengning palace. No one knows what Princess Zhou said to Shen Tian, but it''s undeniable that this woman has given Shen Tian unlimited motivation and courage in a way.


    Of course, these are afterwords. Leisurely, while helping Han take care of some affairs, he is looking forward to his husband''s return as soon as possible.


    Fortunately, a few days later, a servant of the Shen family finally came to report that Shen Ze and Shen Hong had safely transported the remains of the Duke back to the north city.


    Hearing the news, Han stood up and "spread the word, open the middle door of the mansion, and all the people in the mansion, regardless of their rank, will wait at the gate."


    Then she looked at the people in the room and said, "go, let''s go to pick up the Lord."


    In a word, even leisurely can''t help crying.

 Chapter 441

    No matter how sad the Shen family is, the lives of the dead can no longer be recovered. For family members, they just try their best to do a good job behind him and let him go.


    Maybe the emperor was ashamed, or maybe it was to block the mouth of the world. In a word, since the coffin of Duke Shen returned to Beijing, the emperor issued many imperial edicts successively, and bestowed a thousand taels of gold on the emperor as the super first-class loyal Duke and the first-class Chengen Duke. He was worshipped in the Xianliang temple and the Zhonglie temple, and his posthumous title was Zhongwu. Later, he issued a decree to express his gratitude for his outstanding military achievements, and allowed his son Shen Hongping to be a first-class loyal Duke. Because he avoided the Empress Dowager''s taboo, he was also a second-class Duke. Han was granted the title of wife of the Duke of chaopin.


    In general, the succession of the title of a prince''s family is not so smooth. Most of them need to be approved by the minister, the Ministry of rites, and then played to the emperor. It is a royal grace that the succession of the Shen family''s title is so smooth.


    In leisurely''s opinion, the mother and the son would rather not have the chance to accept the grace. But it''s hard to disobey the emperor''s orders. No matter how much hatred and resentment they have in their hearts, they can only kneel down respectfully and kowtow to thank you at this time.


    Leisurely once again appreciate the cruelty of this dynasty, but also once again feel a sense of powerless frustration.


    In addition to the weakness of reality, leisurely heart has a kind of panic. Zhongwu Gong is dead. Shen Tian is now closed for recuperation. Shen Ze is the most eye-catching member of the Shen family. With today''s suspicious temperament, I don''t know if I can accommodate Shen Ze.


    It''s just that Shen Ze was busy with the funeral of the national government at first, and then it was so easy to finish everything. Shen Ze went out early and came back late every day, and he looked very tired when he came back. He didn''t know how to tell him about it.


    Today, it''s not easy for Shen Ze to come back earlier, but before he has a chance to say it, Shen Ze begins to say, "these days, you take the time to quietly pack up your family''s gifts. I''m afraid we''ll have to go to the southwest soon."


    Leisurely surprised to ask "why is this?"


    Shen Ze said, "the southwest was originally guarded by the Fang family, the father of Princess Le''an. But later, general Fang was killed, so the emperor ordered Dingxi to guard. According to reliable sources, a few days ago, a group of floating bandits raided the southwest waters, and the local garrison was caught off guard for a moment, and was beaten suddenly, with countless casualties. The father and son of dingxihou are afraid of committing suicide. "


    Hearing this, leisurely more puzzled, "I haven''t heard any news, but even if it''s true, what does it have to do with us? My Lord, will you go to the southwest? "


    Shen Ze pause for a moment, "our family has not done anything treacherous. My uncle has died, and my mother has also given up the power of the palace. He still wants to kill everything? The rabbit bites when it''s urgent. Our Shen family is a century old family, and has a lot of information since the previous dynasty. He is also afraid to do too much, which will make many aristocratic families attack. Isn''t that why the former dynasty perished? "


    After a little pause, he continued, "but he certainly doesn''t want me to stay in the capital. After all, there are more than 50000 people in the imperial army. How can the emperor rest assured that our family will command so many military powers? "


    Leisurely way "but if you really let you go to the southwest coast, then you can control more soldiers?"


    Shen Ze sneered, "how much? The southwest is thousands of miles away from the capital. Even if I want to raise troops to rebel, I''m afraid I will be destroyed before I get to the capital. I''ve seen it coldly. The emperor must control all the troops in the capital in his own hands to be at ease. "


    After hearing the words, he sighed leisurely, "one emperor and one courtier have been like this since then. This is also a common trick used by emperors. But, you haven''t told me, how can you be so sure that the emperor will send you to the southwest? Isn''t it the northwest? "


    Shen Ze said in a soft voice, "there are very few soldiers who can be used in the capital, and those who can fight are guarding at the border. Now it''s still the turn of the old and the new dynasties. Just after an accident happened in the north, it''s no doubt that it''s asking for trouble to randomly transfer the city guards from other places. I''ve been to the southwest coast to fight. My qualifications and other qualifications are the most suitable. What''s more, it''s up to us. Even if he doesn''t want to use me, we can do something about it. " My husband has always been a bit mysterious, leisurely not too much investigation, between husband and wife also need privacy, some things or when don''t know better.


    Because Shen Ze said that everything should be carried out quietly, leisurely side told Su He and Gan song two secretly quietly clean up the soft home. On the other side, Shen Xi and others are planning to follow their husband and wife. I''m afraid the marriage with the eighth prince will turn yellow. When you think about it leisurely, if it''s yellow, it''s yellow. Let''s not talk about Shen Tian. Let''s have a look at Fang Xinsu and Princess Zhou. Which one is more introspective? She was just worried that Shen Tian would be disappointed when he was young.


    Now it''s still early to think about this, leisurely put the idea aside, let people change the jade lotus cousin. She secretly hopes that Yulian can go with her family. After all, it''s a long journey. If a doctor follows her on the journey, she can always feel at ease.


    After waiting for the jade lotus to come over, leisurely slowly said with her, then way "this matter estimates can have 78 accurate letter, I tell you is to want to ask your meaning. Would you like to follow us to the southwest or stay in Beijing. If you don''t want to travel far away, it''s good to stay here and have an elder brother''s family to take care of you. "


    "If you didn''t take us in these years, how could we have a good life today? You don''t dislike our cumbersome, our wives will follow you. "


    Leisurely raised his hand to stop her, "don''t rush to make a conclusion. Tao Liang has an idea. You''d better ask her what she means first."


    Yulian said with a smile, "I don''t need to ask her. I usually think I''m a girl and it''s hard to go out at will. Don''t you see how many travel notes and local chronicles she read? I often fantasize that I am a man and I can have a chance to go out. How happy I am to have such an opportunity? "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "this child''s hobby is similar to mine. I also like to read travel notes, which are much better than those storybooks."


    Yulian''s helpless way "isn''t it? If it wasn''t for your liking, how could there be so many travel notes in the family to show her? " Both of them laughed.


    Later, taoliang came home from school and was very surprised to learn about it. She is a very precocious girl. Since Shen Guogong went to school, although Shen''s female school has not been suspended, many female students suddenly find various reasons to leave school. Today, there are only about ten female students in the family. Fortunately, my husband is not perfunctory because of the decrease of students. On the contrary, he is more meticulous and devoted than before. Tao Liang also guessed some clues from these changes. Now he heard that Shen Ze''s family is going to the southwest. No matter what their future is, they are determined to follow.


    Yulian didn''t think as much as her daughter, but she was happy to see her daughter happy. Secretly, it''s necessary to quietly pack up and leave.


    For leisurely, it''s OK to say something about salute, but these industries at home are really a headache. Who should be entrusted with better care?

 Chapter 442

    Leisurely doesn''t want to tell Lin Mu about these things in the imperial court. Her old man is old in the end. These things involve a lot of people, and you can''t say a few words clearly. Leisurely doesn''t want Lin Mu to worry about her family. But Enron and his wife have to say something about it. They have to be prepared for something. If the emperor doesn''t cut his own family, it''s all right. If he doesn''t let his own family go, the Lin family, as an in laws, can''t ask for anything.


    But it seems that Enron is more comprehensive than she thought. After listening to leisurely''s worry, Enron comforted her and said, "sister, don''t worry too much. Even though the man is suspicious, his foundation is not stable now, and the border is so turbulent, so there should be no more exceptional actions in a short time. You don''t have to worry about me here. I still have some legacy of the former Emperor. At most, I''ll be given a cold reception. Over the years, I''ve added a lot of sacrificial fields to my family. No matter what, I can''t be hungry. "


    Looking at the chatting little boy in front of me, I feel relieved. This once half boy has grown into the man of today unconsciously.


    Seeing that my younger brother was ready, he relaxed a lot and entrusted most of his private property to him, mainly some shops and Chuang Tzu, with a total income of 10000 Liang every year. In addition, the Chuang Tzu Shen Tian had given himself was very close to Fang Xinsu''s Chuang Tzu, so he entrusted that Chuang Tzu to her leisurely, and there were four or five thousand harvests every year. The southwest coast is too far away from the capital, so it''s not very safe on the road, whether it''s silver or bills. Therefore, leisurely asked them to help take care of it, and let them take care of the harvest temporarily.


    Although people have ulterior motives, leisurely doesn''t worry too much, because both of them have more money than her. Fang Xinsu doesn''t need to say much. Even Enron saved Shengjia and the first Prince one after another, and the reward he got was not lack of gold and silver jewelry grange, although many things could not be sold. But the annual income of those Chuang Tzu shops was not small. They were both richer than her, so she didn''t worry much.


    As for the family''s property, which is Shen in the end, leisurely even though he wants to be lazy and let his mother''s family take care of it, he is afraid that it will cause the Shen family to talk nonsense, so he has to entrust all those things to the government.


    During the filial piety period, Shen Hong couldn''t do any entertainment. Shen Hong wanted to find something for her mother. She was very sad, so she took it over.


    It''s a relief to settle these things. In addition to clothes, jewelry, bedding, and so on, there are also some commonly used four treasures of the study, ornaments and utensils, as well as the necessary herbs and tonics. Even if they are streamlined, they can easily pack their own things into seven or eight large boxes.


    I don''t know how Shen Ze works behind his back. Within half a month, the appointment of the imperial court really came down. The position is not low. The second grade chief of Fujian is responsible for the defense and training of Fujian. He has been promoted to two levels. Beijing officials are generally promoted to a higher level when they are put out to other places. This is the case when they are put out to Fujian where Japanese pirates are prosperous. It seems that it is not unreasonable to be promoted to a higher level. But some discerning people clearly see that the emperor is not willing to let Shen Ze stay in the capital. After all, no matter how second class the chief soldier is, he has to run thousands of miles away. If he is far away from the emperor, the sacred heart will be far away. With what great contribution you have made outside, how can you serve around Shengjia and have a broader future?


    Some of them thought they were very smart, and then they began to think carefully, such as Xue Shenjiang. As I said before, Xue Shen was the fourth grade, second only to Shen Ze in the imperial army. Since he knew that Shen Ze was going to leave, he had been very excited. No matter in terms of seniority or merit, he was the most suitable person to replace Shen Ze in the imperial army.


    If Shen Ze had ever wanted to promote Xue Shenjiang before, Shen Ze had already regarded him as a "dead man" in his heart when he let his daughter leave Shen''s school without hesitation after the Shen family''s accident. It''s not really about what to do to him, it''s just that this person is obviously not worth their support or promotion.


    Even leisurely, he was not angry with Xue Gongren. Although I was a little careful when I took the initiative to help her brother, from my heart, I didn''t feel sorry for them any more. What''s the result? I haven''t had an accident at home yet, so I''m so busy that I''m far away. Although it is to find a reason for a child''s physical discomfort, only to go home to rest for two days, leisurely is not a fool, can''t you see her family''s abacus? It''s just to watch. If the Shen family has something to do, get rid of the relationship with them earlier. If the Shen family has nothing to do, come back later. Abacus is excellent, but leisurely do not eat this set. It''s just that she broke her face because of this. At that time, she said to Xue Gongren, "since Qianjin is ill, it''s better to go home and have a good rest. It''s also a coincidence that the Shen family is now in a troubled age. Besides, the government has to keep filial piety to the Duke of the state. The female school is planning to not accept students with other surnames. When you''ve made the daughter recuperate, you''d better choose another good boudoir school. "


    When leisurely said this, he looked so serious and sincere that Xue Gongren believed it at that time. She is still a little guilty. Mrs. Lin has helped her family so much, but it''s really wrong for her to do so at this time. But Mrs. Lin is so magnanimous that she won''t care about these trifles with herself. After all, it''s human nature to pursue the advantages and avoid the disadvantages. I have never done anything wrong with the Shen family, and I haven''t said anything wrong about the Shen family behind my back. I''m very worthy of the Shen family and Mrs. Lin.


    Xue Gongren left the Shen family with his tolerance, but he didn''t see leisurely''s disappointed eyes at that time.


    Therefore, today, when Xue Gongren comes to the door with a special gift, he is only perfunctory and no longer treats each other sincerely. It''s good for Xu to cover up leisurely. Xue Gongren thought she was as kind to herself as before. Therefore, after a few words of greetings, she directly said her intention. It turned out that she wanted to help her introduce Fang Xinsu leisurely.


    After listening to Xue Gongren''s intention, he can''t help sneering in his heart. Does he really treat himself as a fool? The reason why she wanted to see Fang Xinsu was not to mention that she knew that her husband Qi Heng was now the emperor''s most trusted foreign minister. Isn''t she trying to marry Qi Heng through Fangxin Suba?

 Chapter 443

    Qi Heng and the emperor met when they were young, but their affection was extraordinary.


    As soon as the emperor came to power, he directly promoted Qi Heng to the position of commander of the Imperial Army and assistant leader of the internal affairs government. Both of them were important positions and rich positions. There is no need to say more about the importance of the commander of the imperial army. The emperor, who was so suspicious, did not hesitate to let Qi Heng take the position. It shows that he has a great faith in Qi Heng.


    Leisurely is again good nature, at this time on the surface also not from cold a few minutes, own prime minister has not gone! You can''t wait to think about the upper position. Don''t look too ugly!


    She looked cold, and then said, "the princess is always busy, not any outsiders are happy to advice."


    If Xue Gongren knew what he was interested in, he should find a step down and expose it. After the two families met, at least can maintain face on the friendship.


    Maybe she had been too warm to her family before, which made Xue Gongren forget the sharp way she used to deal with the thin horse. She just thought she was good-natured. See leisurely did not immediately agree, the face is not so good-looking, Yin Yang strange way "is because of the princess''s valuable identity, we just ask the wife to help introduce.". After all, who doesn''t know that lady and Princess Rong have the best friendship in the capital Then she turned her eyes and said with a smile, "don''t worry, madam. I won''t let you go in vain."


    Leisurely sneer: "although our family is not very rich, but at least there is no lack of food and clothing, we don''t care about those things in your family."


    After hearing this, Jiang was shocked and said, "what does that mean, madam? Don''t you want to help? " Then he stood up and glared at leisurely.


    Leisurely eyes clear straight at her, without flinching, said, "yes, I just don''t want to help introduce, is it difficult for Xue Gongren to have any opinion?" The maids, who had been waiting outside, heard the tone of their master''s voice rise abruptly, and immediately came in. Seeing their tit for tat appearance, they all stood in front of leisurely.


    Jiang was also angry for a while. After all, she was used to the image of leisurely and gentle old man. She always felt that the other side was easier to handle. Now I see her suddenly in trouble, and then I think of her original means. Jiang couldn''t help regretting it. She calmed down and remembered that she was in someone else''s territory. She couldn''t stir up the other person''s popularity without saying the leisurely means. In addition, he felt guilty, so he had to say with a smile, "why do you have to fight like this, madam? I just want to say that if you don''t like it, I''ll leave now. "


    Finish saying, then took the servant girl ash to walk, bring of thing all still put on the table.


    Leisurely sneer, "Xue Gongren doesn''t have to leave in a hurry. I have two words. Please take them back to Xue Shenjiang. Let alone the fact that my prime minister is now promoted. Even if he is demoted from Beijing, it''s up to the emperor to decide who will take over the post. If it''s not good enough, there are the Ministry of officials and the Ministry of war. It''s not up to Xue Shen to be a fourth class military officer to control these events. No one has stipulated that the commander of the imperial army must be selected from the Imperial Army, right¡°


    Smell speech, Jiang Shi a Leng, chase after a way "madam, what meaning is this?"? If you don''t choose the Imperial Army, where will you choose? "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "as I said, it''s not up to the virtuous couple to worry about this. After all the dust is settled, don''t you know? " With that, he stroked the golden step beside his temples. The ruby on it was shining in the sunlight, but it was very dazzling in Jiang''s eyes.


    But leisurely obviously didn''t care about her mind, and said, "well, I have to decorate my luggage. I really don''t have the time to accompany you to grind your teeth here. Come and see the guests off. " As soon as the words were heard, several strong women bowed down and "invited" Jiang and others out, with nothing left.


    After she left, Gan song stood up for herself and said, "this Xue Gong person is too much. Grandma always treats her badly. As a result, there were some rumors in the capital after our country''s father went, so she couldn''t stop asking her daughter to drop out of school. These two times I came here with a look of arrogance. It''s obvious that I''m watching our jokes. It''s really a villain''s mentality. " Su he saw that she still had the will to go on, and quickly advised, "OK, you can say a few words. Just do these things to her, we know that their family will not be developed for long. It''s said that a villain will be rampant if she gets ambition. Before she gets ambition, she will be so arrogant, and she will suffer later. "


    This said leisurely all laughed "our family Su he is really more and more transparent, casually say is the truth of life, it''s really amazing." After that, he said to Gan song, "you don''t listen to me when I ask you to read more books on weekdays. How can I be convinced? Can you say that? "


    Gan song was unconvinced and said with a smile, "what grandma said is really a fight. It''s better to roll up her sleeves and have a big fight if anyone has time to listen to her preaching. In those days when grandma was in the government, if I hadn''t carried the airs, her soft temper would have been torn by those godly women! "


    Smell speech, leisurely smile way "yes, our sweet pine girl that can be really brave invincible! I remember. Thanks to you two being in this family, I forgot to reward you when I came back. Now that I''m here, I have to make it up for you. Didn''t Fujian Chamber of Commerce send two boxes of jewelry yesterday? I see that the pair of gold bracelets inlaid with pearls in it is quite exquisite. You two can do it one by one. " The news of these businessmen is really well-informed. Less than half a day after Shen Ze''s appointment, a generous gift was sent there. But with this insight, the Xue family is far behind others.


    Gan song was a little embarrassed and said, "it''s like the slave wants something from the master on purpose? I''m sorry. "


    Su he joked: "you have such a thick skin. Do you feel embarrassed sometimes? Since it''s from grandma, I''ll take it. You don''t want me to take it for you. " Leisurely looking at the two people joking with each other, the slightest bit of unhappiness in my heart also disappeared immediately.


    Anyway, they are just irrelevant people. Since the other party is so confused, she doesn''t need to waste her time. In this world, there are some people who can''t help.


    When Shen Ze came back in the evening, he talked about the day with him leisurely. Shen Ze knew that she didn''t pay attention to it when she saw that she was calm and magnanimous. But she still calmed down and said, "there are always some stupid people who like to be self righteous in this world and don''t have to worry about them. I used to wonder that this general Xue Shen was quite steady. Although he didn''t make any great achievements, he didn''t make mistakes easily. It''s reasonable to say that his seniority should be up to three grades. After all, it''s easier for a military officer to be promoted than a civil officer. However, he has been wandering in the position of Sipin all these years, which has something to do with his own character. "


    Leisurely agreed, "if he understood, he would have been promoted a long time ago. I can''t say that even the commander of the imperial army can''t be your prime minister. "


    Shen Ze laughs, "if you don''t do it, don''t do it. It''s as easy for the commander of the imperial army to do it as it is for a tiger."? Especially in recent years, there have been constant disturbances in the capital. I am always not comforted. Now it''s time to unload the burden. Now I feel much lighter. "


    Smell speech, leisurely and carefully looked at Shen Ze''s face, nodded and said, "well, listen to what you say, and then carefully look, it''s so young. Alas, by the way, did the emperor say who would take your place? "

 Chapter 444

    Shen Ze did not answer immediately, but looked at her with a smile and said, "guess what?"


    Leisurely angry look at him, head a turn, and then said, "I guess nine times out of ten is general Tang."


    It was Shen Ze''s turn to be surprised. "This news was only known when I entered the Palace this afternoon. Only three or four people present knew it. How did you find out? "


    Leisurely squint at him, "Guess! It''s not easy. With our Majesty''s temperament, none of those high-ranking military officers in the court dare to believe it. Qi Heng, the only trusted one, has become the commander of the imperial army. How good is general Tang. He has just made a great contribution and let him take over the job. No one else can say no. The Tang family has been stationed at the border for several generations. It is needless to say that they are loyal. Now there is only one man left, and there is no capable man in his foreign home Yongchang. Neither of his two close brothers. The most important thing is that general Tang is young and easy to handle, and he is not married. When the time comes, he will choose one of the princesses and princesses to marry, so he will firmly hold the Tang family in his hand. You say, who is more suitable in this capital than general Tang


    If the emperor had to admit leisurely here, he would be talking about his heart. Every sentence was to the point. Shen zezan said, "I didn''t expect that my wife has more and more potential to be a counselor. I really underestimated my wife in the past." Said to sigh a "Madam so witty, for husband also can slightly rest assured."


    Smell speech, leisurely surprised ask "rest assured what?"


    Shen Ze reluctantly replied, "I''m here today. I''ve been told that because there is no one in charge of the overall situation in the coastal area, the Japanese pirates seized a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, but also killed many innocent people. The sea trade business has also been greatly affected. Therefore, the Lord asked me to take office as soon as possible after handing over the affairs of the imperial army. Therefore, I can only follow it lightly and take the lead. "


    Leisurely heart a tight, but still try to calm asked "when to go?"


    Shen Ze touched her head and "left early in three days."


    Leisurely nodded and said, "I know. Don''t worry. I''ll sort out your things separately tomorrow."


    Shen Ze looked at her apologetically, "don''t bother too much, just take a few clothes to change."


    Couple for many years, some words have no need to express, both sides can accurately read each other''s mind.


    Seeing him like this, leisurely turned to comfort him and said, "it''s not your decision. It''s hard to disobey the emperor''s order. At that time, I have Yulian and they are with me, and I''m on the official boat. There''s nothing to worry about. It''s you who have to travel day and night. You have to be more careful on the way. Besides, I don''t know what kind of chaos there is. You have to be careful. "


    Shen Zeying said, "I know it in my heart. Don''t worry about it for me. I used to stay there with my uncle for several years, and I have some plans for the local situation. I won''t make trouble." Then he said, "I''ll leave brother Jiang to you. I''ll help you with your itinerary on the way."


    Leisurely busy way "there is no one around you, or let brother Jiang follow you!"


    Shen Ze took her hand and said eagerly, "no, my mother has entrusted several clansmen to me, and several younger martial brothers who are willing to go with me. I have enough people around me. You''re all women and children. You don''t have enough status. There must always be a proper person around you. "


    Listen to him say so, leisurely just agree to come down. They talked a lot again, and didn''t close their eyes for a short sleep until midnight.


    In the morning, they inevitably got up late. Shen Ze went to the imperial yamen without breakfast. Leisurely also just picked two mouthfuls of rice at random, then hurriedly opened the packed salute. Originally intended to go together, many things of the two people are packed together, now it is necessary to pick him out and put him alone. Fortunately, men''s things are easy to take care of. They''re just clothes and pills. It''s hot in the south, so you don''t even need to take big clothes. So just two big burdens are enough.


    While packing, the servant came to report that "Uncle Yang and grandma are here."


    Husband and wife seldom come together in the daytime. Leisurely, they are invited to the flower hall. After finishing their clothes, they pass by.


    When she went in, she saw that Yang Lu and his wife were both restless and forward-looking. She couldn''t help asking, "what''s the matter with my cousin and sister-in-law? But what happened to the shop? "


    As soon as he saw her, the couple seemed to have found the backbone. Yang Lu said quickly, "something really happened." Then he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said, "this is the notice just issued by the imperial court. Cousin, take a look first."


    Leisurely and roughly, you will understand. It turned out that the notice said that the government planned to build a large Mongolian College at the south end of Wenhua street, with both male and female students. But the land was occupied by the common people and businesses, so the government informed them one by one and gave them two months to move out as soon as possible. The government paid different amounts of compensation according to the amount of money registered with the government when they bought land and shops. To put it bluntly, it is the same truth as the demolition of later generations.


    After reading the notice, leisurely asked, "how many shops are involved?"


    Yang Lu replied, "there are a lot of shops. From Shujuan lane to the south, there are dozens of shops, and the people are countless. Everyone stayed there well, suddenly received such news, can''t accept it, shouting there. I watched the shop open in disorder. I simply closed the door and came with my mother-in-law. "


    The Yang family''s Lu said, "no, it''s so sudden that we are both shocked. My cousin has to make up her mind From her point of view, naturally, she didn''t want to close the shop. Now the two husband and wife are in charge of both the shop and the guest house. They have a fixed income every month, and the red envelopes they receive from the leisurely Spring Festival are also very rich. If the shop is closed, where are they going to make a living?


    Is it hard for them to go back to the village? It''s ok if she didn''t come out before, but now she''s used to life in the city. The couple also bought a small house in the capital, and the eldest son is at the age of marriage. Accustomed to the city girl''s smart and generous appearance, she did not want to find her son a country daughter-in-law who did not know big words and was timid.


    Lu Shi is in his own thoughts, suddenly heard a sentence: "in this case, according to the official''s meaning, simply shut the shop."


    In a word, Lu''s heart is cool

 Chapter 445

    "Is this the way to close the shop?" Lu said


    Even Yang Lu frowned and said, "the profit of this bookshop has always been considerable. Even the business of the cloth shop is very prosperous now. It''s a pity to close it like this."


    Leisurely back to the road, "originally our shop has made a lot of profits in recent years, which has hindered many people''s eyes. I''m also afraid that we should encounter any unexpected events after we leave. It''s a small matter to pay for some money, but some people have no scruples about doing things for the sake of money, and it''s not good to hurt anyone at that time. I was also hesitant about what to do with this shop. Since the government has posted such a notice, we don''t have to hesitate. We just do what the government wants. Hengli has also made a lot of money in recent years. Now it''s time to let go. "


    Then, after a pause, she said, "I know these shops have gathered a lot of your painstaking efforts today. It must be heartbreaking to close the shop suddenly now, but I put a lot of effort into them. Can''t I not feel heartbroken? You don''t know how powerful these people are in the capital! Now, as soon as the appointment of Xianggong came down, some people started thinking about my shops. In fact, even if there is no such thing, I also want to close the book shop. "


    Yang LV and his wife were both surprised, and Lu said, "isn''t there a queen in the palace? Why are these people so bold? "


    Smell speech, leisurely wry smile a "Niang Niang is now resting body, how these small things are worth startling Niang?"? It''s all right. I don''t need the silver now. Just close it. "


    Yang Lu said in a deep voice, "I know that my cousin doesn''t want to cause more trouble, but if she is always modest, I''m afraid she will be looked down upon." Lu heard her husband say so, for fear of provoking leisurely unhappy, quickly quietly pull his sleeve.


    Leisurely smile way "cousin, don''t worry, I have propriety. I''m not going to let those people take advantage of me. "


    In fact, the bookshop is OK. Although several families have inquired about it, they just politely asked a few questions, but they didn''t get involved. Leisurely, the most profitable shop on hand is the glass shop. There are many people staring at it. At the beginning, only the Zhong family, the husband''s family of the owner of Jinghua County, asked people to say that they wanted to set up the shop. Leisurely, they pushed it. The owner of Jinghua County was always careful. Seeing that his family could not take advantage of it, he encouraged several princesses and the royal family to come forward and want to take over the shop. Now leisurely hasn''t figured out what to do with them. Even the emperor doesn''t want to deal with them, let alone leisurely. But she didn''t want to take advantage of her efforts. Now she is in a dilemma.


    Seeing that Youran''s face was not worried, Yang Lu knew that there must be a lot of disputes here, and then sighed, "even if the empress is not in good health, there are still the eldest prince and the eldest princess in the palace. Can these people not even pay attention to the prince and the princess?"


    See leisurely suddenly smile, "cousin is really a word wake up the dreamer, I always only see the prince and princess as children, but forget their identity." Then he said, "in this case, let''s do things according to the official''s will. Everything should be done early rather than late. It''s not good for us to delay for a long time. In addition, as soon as these shops are closed, my cousin and sister-in-law are exhausted and have no livelihood. I wonder if my cousin has any plans now? "


    Yang Lu said with a bitter smile, "in recent years, my cousin has been generous to us. Our family has set up a small house in the capital, not to mention adding hundreds of acres of land to our hometown. If this shop is closed, whether it''s a small business in the capital or going back home, it will be able to survive, so my cousin doesn''t have to worry about our family. "


    I just heard leisurely ask, "my uncle and aunt have gone with my big cousin. I don''t need my cousin and sister-in-law to go back to my hometown to be filial. I don''t know if my second cousin''s family would like to follow me to Fujian?"


    As soon as these words came out, Lv''s eyes lit up first. He was willing, but why not? There''s nothing to worry about at home. The second uncle and his mother''s family help to look after the land in his hometown. What''s more, with all the silver in one year, how can you compare with the rich oil and water around you? It''s just that she can''t rush to speak before her husband and wink at Yang Lv. Yang Lu glared at her and said with a smile, "in fact, I had this idea when I heard that my cousin''s family were going to Fujian. I''m just worried about the business of the shop. Now that the shop is going to close, I have no worries. Of course, I''d like to go out and see the scenery of the south. Even a few children, it''s good to go out and see. "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "well, then we have a deal. The prime minister has official business and will start early in the morning. We are not in such a hurry, but we will start in half a month at the latest. I asked. At the speed of the official ship, we used to walk for two months. In case of any storm and heavy rain on the road, the journey will be delayed. Now it''s the end of August. If we don''t hurry up, we''ll be on our way to celebrate the new year. "


    Hearing this, Yang Lu said, "in this case, we won''t delay. Now we''re going to deal with the shop."


    Leisurely got up and said, "OK, if there''s any goods in the shop that you''re willing to take over, let''s get rid of them cheaper. I''ll ask someone to say hello again in yamen, and we won''t lose our land money. Since I want to travel far away, my second cousin and sister-in-law always have to find time to go back home and take care of my second uncle''s family. "


    Yang and his wife agreed and went. It''s easy to say, but the bookshop alone has three floors full of goods, and the cloth shop has a lot of goods. Even Lu Shi can''t save much. Many people in the guest house have been renting for several years. Now it takes a lot of time to ask someone to leave. Fortunately, the notice of the imperial court has been pasted all over the streets and alleys nearby. The guests know that they will move sooner or later. In addition to returning their remaining rent, they are willing to pay one more month''s rent, so they all go out to find a place.


    Seeing off the second cousin''s family, leisurely handed the sign to the palace and asked to see Princess Shujia. When Shujia received the news, she was greeting Shen Tian in Fengning palace. When she saw the post, she was surprised and said, "I don''t know how Mrs. Shen suddenly asked to see me?"


    Shen Tian took a look at the post. He pondered, "your aunt always has a sense of propriety. Since you are looking for help, you may have something to ask for. At that time, you will think about it. As long as you don''t go out of the way, just answer it. Since your grandfather left, your uncle is still young. Now our family is supported by your uncle. In the future, you and your brother should respect them more. "


    But Shujia perfectly inherited her mother''s wisdom and wisdom. After listening to her mother''s words, she turned her eyes and felt worried.


    Unfortunately, the next day when leisurely entering the palace, I met the mother and daughter of Jinghua County.

 Chapter 446

    Today, she is still in the period of national filial piety. Although her dress is very simple, you can see that her dress is definitely thoughtful.


    Leisurely heart turned a trace of disdain, the face is as usual salute hello.


    The owner of Jinghua County was very angry and walked directly in front of leisurely. But miss Zhong stopped to give a salute and said with a smile, "is the lady coming to the palace to greet the queen? But it doesn''t look like the way to Fengning palace? "


    Leisurely and politely back to the way, "the queen is resting, nothing we are not good at disturbing, I am going to Yuzhen palace to Princess Shujia please."


    Miss Zhong is also very polite. "So, we won''t delay my wife''s time." Then he took a look at his mother who had already gone to the front, and he had no choice but to smile bitterly. "My mother is a little angry these days. Please don''t worry about any impoliteness."


    Leisurely light smile "girl said and laughed, but the royal blood is flowing on your father. It''s normal that you don''t pay attention to me like this. It doesn''t matter what''s impolite. It''s just that autumn is dry. Since the county leader is not well, it''s better to stay at home. Otherwise, the palace is full of valuable people. If they collide with people more noble than the county leader, won''t they cause trouble? "


    Although the tone of the words, the meaning of the words is not soft at all! Miss Zhong thought leisurely looked like a good talker. She apologized for her mother. She should have exposed it. Unexpectedly, she didn''t speak so much.


    Miss Zhong is very angry. Although she knows that she can''t be wild in the palace, she still can''t help but stab that "the lady''s glib appearance is quite different from her usual gentleness and amiability."


    Seeing that Miss Zhong''s always dignified and quiet appearance was torn by herself, she was in a good mood. Fixed to look at her, mouth slightly up "can''t afford, dare not in front of big girl Zhong."


    "You, you deceive too much." Miss Zhong is really annoyed this time. Jinghua County''s daughter seems to have suffered a loss, so she quickly comes here.


    At this time, I saw a group of people turning on another Palace Road, headed by Princess Xia.


    Leisurely and others quickly bow their heads to say hello. The head of Jinghua County, who was still arrogant just now, and the girl Zhong, who was extremely ashamed and annoyed, have also restored their usual dignified appearance this time. Leisurely heart only feel funny, really worthy of a mother and daughter, face changing skills are first-class.


    Xia Taifei politely asked them to get up and said with a smile, "what a coincidence. How did you meet each other?" He said to Youran, "I met the eldest princess at the Empress Dowager''s place just now. She said that you are going to come to the palace today, so she went back to her palace early to wait for you. I haven''t seen my wife for a long time. I''m on my way to Yuzhen palace and my Jingfu palace. My wife might as well join me. How about we talk? "


    Leisurely busy smile way "solid wish also, dare not invite you." With that, he nodded to Jinghua''s mother and daughter, then went to the side of Princess Xia and left with her. Only leaving Jinghua and her daughter in the same place.


    After a few steps, he said with a leisurely smile, "thank you for helping me out. Otherwise, I don''t know what will happen."


    Princess Xia glanced at the back of her mother and daughter from the corner of her eyes and said with disdain, "on that day, our palace was the first emperor to serve after entering the palace. She never dared to do more before she was officially selected. The girl of the Zhong family is not so reserved. I don''t like such a person. It''s just that the Empress Dowager tolerates the emperor''s favor. Anyway, she''s just a concubine. As long as she doesn''t go out of her way, the Empress Dowager can''t help but turn a blind eye. It''s just that the mother and daughter treat other people as idiots. They think that they should be careful. They don''t know about other people. They pretend to be clean in the town. To whom? If you want to be... And still want to build a memorial archway, how can you have such a beautiful thing? "


    Smell speech, leisurely can''t help "Puff Chi" smile. "What are you laughing at? Is that what I said wrong? " Leisurely busy way "that''s not, just so many years, the princess is still as straightforward as before."


    Princess Xia also thought of the past, shook her head and said with a smile, "yes, I''m not too straightforward. I''m going to make trouble for you who have no grievance or hatred for the sake of other people''s words. I was really stupid at that time. But now I haven''t become very smart. I''m born with this temperament. No matter how I hide it, I''ll show some traces. "


    Leisurely smile way "Niang Niang now already is penetrating many, looking at is extremely energetic appearance. The eight princes and the ten princes are sensible, and Princess Lexin is so clever and clever. The good fortune of the empress is yet to come. "


    Princess Xia said with a smile, "I''d like to borrow your lucky words. It''s said that my wife is going on a long journey soon. I''ve prepared some gifts for Miss Shen. I''ll send them to Yuzhen palace for you later. "


    After a leisurely meal, she said, "lady, you''re too polite. There''s no need for that. Now this is the situation... I''m afraid what the princess said before will be empty. " Under such circumstances, the emperor would not allow the Shen family to have another pro princess.


    Princess Xia patted her hand. "I really like your sister Xi, but it''s my responsibility and the two children have no fate."


    After all, leisurely heart is not without regret, she can understand the choice of Princess Xia, Princess Xia mother and son now all rely on the emperor''s grace, how dare she marry a daughter-in-law that the emperor does not like?


    Now under such circumstances, she did not deliberately alienate themselves, it has been very leisurely gratified.


    After separated from Princess Xia, leisurely went to Yuzhen palace.


    When Shujia heard her intention, she was a little surprised. She thought leisurely had something difficult to ask for her help. Unexpectedly, leisurely proposed to give her the Liuli shop.


    Shu Jia wants to also don''t want to flatly refuse "aunt why so?"? If I''m worried that my shop will be left unattended after I go south, I can take care of it. I really don''t have to. I often help my mother to run the glass shop business, and I know how profitable it is. My mother has already got your glass shop. I''ll take your glass shop again. What''s it going to be? "


    Leisurely advised, "Your Highness knows what''s going on at home. To tell you the truth, there are not one or two families staring at this shop, but I don''t want to take advantage of these villains with all my efforts over the years. If you give it to the princess, it can be regarded as filial piety. If you give her some pocket money, your highness will just accept it. "


    Shujia still refused. Later, Shen Tian sent her Qiushi to help her and said, "since it''s the lady who sends her off sincerely, your highness will accept it, otherwise, the lady will not be safe. Everyone is a family. If your highness feels guilty, he will find a chance to have a better life in the future. "

 Chapter 447

    But Jinghua''s mother and daughter suffered a great loss in leisurely. Jinghua was not angry, so she went to Princess Jingrou''s house immediately after leaving the palace. Princess Jingrou and her contemporaries are today''s aunts. On weekdays, even the Empress Dowager and the emperor should be given some dignity. However, her husband''s family business is declining day by day. In recent years, Jingrou has done a lot of extortion for her beloved grandchildren. As soon as jinghualue encouraged her, she moved her mind.


    This will listen to Jinghua said that Mrs. Shen went to the palace to find a backer, sneer, she is at least the eldest princess, but when you see such a shop, the Lin family is still so hesitant, it is not that they do not give money. It''s really shameless. I immediately sent someone to call my favorite little grandson and whispered a few words of advice.


    Jingrou''s husband''s family name is song. This favorite grandson is a senior in his family. On weekdays, he is called "fourth master of song" among the dandies in the capital. Song Siping did these things every day. When he heard his grandmother''s instructions, he answered, "grandmother, don''t worry, grandson will help her out." With that, he went bravely.


    Jinghua saw these and said with a smile, "the princess is still well-trained. Look how clever and sensible our four CHILDES are."


    Hearing the speech, Jingrou waved his hand and said, "this child is a little smart, but he is better than his close heart. He is the most filial to me on weekdays, better than his Laozi." One side of the maid quickly complimented, "our fourth young master is the most pure filial. I know that the eldest princess likes peony best. That time I saw an excellent Yao Huang in Feng''s garden. I tried my best to ask for it, just to make the princess smile. "


    After listening to these words, Jinghua is a little speechless. It''s a matter of years. I don''t know how many times I''ve been told. My ears are getting callous. But she still endured the heart of the greasy crooked smile way "this matter I also heard, said four childe is really filial." Then he said a lot of praise to the fourth young master and flattery to Jingrou, until Jingrou''s praise was in a mess.


    Song Siping used to run wild in the capital every day. This time, with the support of his grandmother, he immediately made an appointment with some of his usual friends. Well, to do such a big thing, why should we hold a small meeting to study it? So a few people went to the famous huamanlou in the capital for entertainment. At the wine table, you said a lot of insidious moves, Song Si felt that he had a point in his heart, and he called everyone to eat, drink and have fun. Prepare to start the next day.


    Although Princess Shujia was young, she had a lot in her heart. The next morning, while greeting the emperor, she said directly about the shop. Unlike Shen Tian''s younger brother, she looks more and more like the emperor. For this eldest daughter who is somewhat similar to himself and doesn''t care about her throne, the emperor still has some love and tolerance.


    The emperor was not surprised to hear that she said this. The Shen family is the family of their eldest son and daughter. It is common for them to have filial piety in the future. So he was very single and said, "since it''s given to you, you can keep it. It''s just a shop. Such a small matter is also worth talking to my father? "


    Shujia said with a smile, "Mrs. Shen only said that she would add some money to her son''s son. But she heard that this shop is very profitable, and now many people are thinking about it."


    The emperor waved his hand and said, "who else can pass you? You''re my eldest daughter. You''re golden. Just take care of yourself. You don''t have to think about it. " Then, looking at her daughter''s appearance, she said with a smile, "it''s the woman''s family who is careful. I don''t even find that my daughter is a big girl, but it''s not easy to dress up?"


    I also saw that my daughter only wore a pearl crown on her head, and her clothes were plain and clean. I thought that she was still in the period of national filial piety, so it was not easy to add a title to her daughter. So he waved his hand and said, "I see Yuanyuan looks very nice wearing this corolla. I remember that in my private library, there is a white jade crown from Hotan, which is very good for you. There is also a box of Nanzhu. I asked them to find it for you. I''ll give you another thousand taels of silver, and I''ll tell my father if I''m short of money. Can my daughter still be short of silver? "


    Shujia coquettishly said, "I don''t need money for my son''s ministers. I have enough money for my son''s ministers. My grandmother and mother often supplement my son''s ministers. It''s just... "After a pause, he whispered," it''s just that since my mother was ill, my son didn''t want to dress up. Who knows, there are many villains in the back of the tongue, spread to the palace also don''t know why the tune. Unexpectedly let the foreigner think that the daughter was wronged in the palace, so my aunt came to visit me in a hurry. " This is half true and half false. After all, it is certain that the palace people have been slighted since Shen Tian recuperated. Although no one dares to gossip face to face, there is no less discussion behind the scenes. Naturally, some rumors will spread to Shujia''s ears. Shujia has been the beautiful girl of heaven since she was born. How ever has she suffered from this kind of rejection? When I think about it, I''m really aggrieved.


    When the emperor saw that his eldest daughter wanted to cry or not, he was very distressed at the moment. "Well, my dear daughter, your mother is ill, and I''ll make the decision for you. If anyone dares to neglect you in the future, you just let them go and I''ll make the decision for you."


    Shujia''s eyes were just red for a while, and then she changed. "After the emperor''s grandmother knew about it, she had cleaned up some ignorant palace people for her children''s ministers, and now she is much better. In the end, the children''s ministers also have part of the power of the palace. Those people will not dare to neglect me and my second sister Then he said, "yesterday I said that my second sister would come with me today. Unexpectedly, I suddenly felt sick today. My father would also give her some things. Let her be happy. Maybe she will get better soon


    Emperor zhanyan said, "it''s rare that you are so considerate of your sister. Although you are taking my things as a favor, I will depend on you."


    At this time, the servant had found out several things that the emperor had ordered. The emperor pointed to the pile and said with a smile, "do you like it?"


    Shu Jia saw that the white jade crown was made of Hibiscus flower style, with a little yellow color in the middle. It was really lifelike. Shujia fell in love with it as soon as she saw it. She immediately said with a smile, "thank you, father. My daughter likes it very much."


    The emperor laughed, "you like it." A servant came and whispered a few words in his ear. The emperor got up and said, "there are ministers waiting in Qianyuan hall. I''m going to pass."


    See him to go, Shu Jia salute way "son minister send father emperor."


    Then Shujia went to the Empress Dowager''s palace. After greeting the empress dowager, she pointed to the white jade crown on her head and said, "grandma, look, is the new crown beautiful?"


    The Empress Dowager Meng nodded with a smile and said, "it''s really beautiful. The jade is warm and delicate, and the carving work is good. It''s rare to see such an atmospheric object in the palace. Where did you get it? "


    Shujia replied, "just now I went to give my father''s greetings. He gave me a reward."


    The Empress Dowager Meng praised, "it should be like this. Your younger brother is the prince. The older he is, the harder it is to please him in front of your father. You are a daughter, usually in front of your father to do filial piety, to you and your mother, brother is good


    Hearing the speech, Shujia stood up and said, "thank you for your instruction."


    The Empress Dowager reached out and asked her to sit down. "OK, why do we have to be so outsider? You don''t dislike me as an old lady. Just be talkative. By the way, didn''t you come here this morning? What happened again? It''s not just to show me your new face, is it


    Shujia quickly flattered with a smile, "or the emperor''s grandmother know me, I so little mind was the emperor''s grandmother to see through. It''s nothing, but there''s a little thing I want my grandmother to approve. "

 Chapter 448

    After leisurely giving the shop to Shujia, she feels relaxed. Although there are still several shops in her name, they are all rented out. At that time, just let people collect the rent, and don''t worry too much.


    After Shen Ze knew her behavior, he felt sorry for her. "Your glass shop has had a good business in the past two years, and it needs at least ten thousand taels of silver every year, right? It doesn''t hurt to send it out like this? "


    Leisurely smile way "what good heartache? In the past, the shop could not sell many things all the year round. In the past two years, more and more people have bought them. Don''t we all look at it for the sake of the empress? How many do you really like? I started this shop to kill time, but I didn''t really want to make money. Now I don''t think it''s any good to send it out. In addition, I have two teachers who have skills in the shop. I have already agreed with them to take them to Fujian. If you want to do this business at that time, it will be easy to start a new business. "


    Hearing that she had a plan for everything, Shen Ze knew that she was not in the mood for a moment, so she was at her disposal.


    Leisurely did not mind, while watching them pack, while there inventory. Although the accounts of her shops and Chuang Tzu have always been very clear, she hasn''t collected her own general ledger in these years. It''s just that she will have a chance to collect her own private property.


    Fortunately, she remembers the accounts of the past years very clearly, so it will be OK soon. Seeing that number, she nodded with satisfaction. Well, yes, she finally entered the array of rich women in her life. It''s no longer the loser who was overwhelmed by the mortgage in her previous life.


    Is leisurely stealing music, Su he came in from the outside in a hurry, "madam, here comes the eldest princess."


    Smell speech, leisurely a Leng, think oneself hear wrong, she asks a way "you mean Princess come over?"? But really? "


    Su he said quickly, "how dare you talk nonsense about such a big event? The princess just got off the car outside."


    Regardless of stealing music, leisurely even clothes also too late to change, hurriedly welcome out. After seeing Shujia, she sighed with relief, "why did the princess come here quietly, and didn''t drive. In case of being collided, isn''t it my fault?"


    Shujia said with a smile, "it''s nothing. There are many palace attendants following. My uncle also sent twenty imperial guards to follow me. It''s just that I don''t want to be conspicuous, so I let them all change their clothes and stay far behind. "


    Leisurely this just slightly relaxed some heart "although today''s peace and prosperity, but the street inevitably have those not long eyes, we''d better be careful."


    Shujia nodded and said, "I have a sense of propriety. My aunt can rest assured. In this meeting, we''d better take orders first. "


    Leisurely surprised to ask "then what purpose?"


    Shujia said with a smile, "naturally, it''s the will of my aunt''s second grade Gao Ming. Yesterday, I saw that my aunt was still wearing three kinds of Gaoming clothes, so I mentioned it to my father and emperor, who asked the Ministry of rites to handle it. As a result, those people are still dallying. If they continue to dally, their uncles are gone. I asked someone to ask. I heard that Gaoming''s clothes were ready, so I brought them by the way. " With that, he pointed to the two men in official clothes who had been following her and said, "these two are the people sent by the Ministry of rites."


    Leisurely while secretly holding the forehead, he hastily sent someone to put the incense table in front of him. Fortunately, the servants acted quickly and quickly. Leisurely received the order, then from three grade Gaoming up to two grade Gaoming. The people in the house had to kowtow and congratulate. With a wave of their hands, they were rewarded with a month''s money. Then the servants who followed Shujia also had a red envelope.


    The two officials in the propriety department were a little embarrassed to take it in front of Princess Shujia. Shujia looked at them with a smile and said, "since Mrs. Shen gave it to you, you can take it. Today, I''m going to let you go. You can''t work hard in vain. Take it."


    Two people this just expect Ai Ai''s to accept, then looked for a from head to go in a hurry. This toss down, time is approaching noon, leisurely smile way "it''s this time, if the princess don''t dislike, might as well have a meal at home and then go?"


    Shujia said with a smile, "of course, I don''t dislike it. It''s only easy for me to take a day off with the emperor''s grandmother and plan to go around the capital. Do my cousins have time?"


    Leisurely said with a smile, "naturally, I''m free. Since the princess wants to have a look around, let''s go out and eat. There is a huixiangju on Zhonggu street, which was opened only last year. There are several famous dishes in it. The most important thing is that they are clean. Would you like to try them


    Shujia said with a smile, "well, I heard that this restaurant was going to let my cousin take me to eat when it opened last year. Later, something happened and I didn''t have time. Today, I''ll take my aunt''s blessing, but I didn''t bring out any money. I''m going to trouble my aunt to invite me. "


    Leisurely don''t care about smile "look what you say, it''s just a meal, what''s there?" Looking down, he saw that his clothes were suitable, and he didn''t want to change them. He took Shujia''s arm and went out. She gives Su he a wink. Su he turns around and goes to the front yard to find the chief manager. She asks him to go to Dingya room as soon as possible. "This time, the lady wants to invite the eldest princess to have dinner. The princess doesn''t want to reveal her identity, but you also need to mention some shops. In case of bumping into a noble man, they can''t afford it."


    In charge of the matter, he rode a fast horse and took the path to do it.


    Because it was still early, they were not in a hurry to go to the restaurant immediately. Leisurely, they let the master take a long way around and just arrived at the most prosperous Kangsheng street in the capital. Leisurely''s carriage is equipped with soft smoke gauze, which can be seen clearly from the inside out, but only a cloud of smoke can be seen from the outside, so that outsiders can''t see the situation in the carriage, which is very popular with Shujia.


    She said with a smile, "in the past, I didn''t know that ruanyanluo was so useful. I''ll let someone paste a layer on the windows of the palace."


    Leisurely light a smile way "the princess said extremely is, this kind of material uses to make the window screen and the bed curtain most suitable."


    While enjoying the scenery outside, they chatted. After half an hour, they said with a leisurely smile, "we''ve been around for a long time. It happens that the restaurant is not far ahead. How about having dinner first?"


    After shopping for a long time, Shujia was a little tired, so she nodded happily.


    When they went, the steward had already arranged everything and took them to the appointed Yajian. In charge of the big package under the entire third floor, in addition to serving in the room, the rest of the next people also have their own seats.


    Huixiangju''s food is really worthy of the name. After a meal, the guests and the hosts are happy.


    After dinner, I sat in the carriage and looked at Princess Shujia, who was sitting next to me. I thought to myself, no wonder Chinese people like to talk about things at the dinner table. Look at the old princess, who was just a little unruly and reserved, and she will become very close.


    Shu Jia was going to go straight back to the palace after lunch. She advised her leisurely, "it''s not easy for your highness to go out of the palace. Now that she''s out, let''s go and have a look at the glass shop. It''s not far from here. It''s only a quarter of an hour by car. "


    So they went to Liuli shop together and leisurely gave it a very romantic name - Liuguang Pavilion.


    Shujia went to the shop to have a look. After appreciating the glazed ornaments, she said with a smile, "it''s really Liuguang Pavilion. These things are really colorful and magnificent."


    Leisurely did not have time to answer, he heard a noise coming from the door, and then several strong men escorted several childe like people to step in.

 Chapter 449

    Seeing this, leisurely let the servant girl around her surround Shujia first. The shopkeeper, who had been waiting on the side of the shop, quickly stepped forward and said, "you are very polite. We are receiving distinguished guests here. There is a sign at the door that is not open for the time being. Please come back some other day."


    The man at the head snorted coldly, "what a broken shop? Young master, it''s the first time I''ve heard that someone is driving guests out. It seems that you don''t want to drive any more? "


    This man is not a bystander. He is Song Si who deliberately came to make trouble. But he said that after spending the night with a group of fox friends last night, Song Si slept until noon this morning, and they found a place to have lunch, so they made an appointment to come. Now that we have a meal, we have to drink some wine. We are not afraid to do it with the strength of wine. This is also discussed in advance by the public. Even if they come to the door at that time, they can avoid being drunk


    Hearing that Song Si opened his head, the rest of them followed suit and said, "that''s what a broken shop is. It''s not a big shop. The rules are not small." One of them went to a set of glazed lamps, picked up one and looked at it. Then he looked at the price tag with a sneer. He saw that it was clearly written on it. It was a four piece set of glazed lamps with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, five hundred taels of silver. He opened his eyes wide and said, "is your shop a black shop? Does such a small cup cost more than 100 taels of silver? It''s like pitching people. "


    Another dandy nearby scoffed, "you can''t even afford a small change for your private money. Don''t let it go."


    The man said with a smile, "yes, I''ll put it down." However, the hand holding the glass lamp was obviously deliberately inaccurate. People watched him throw the glass lamp on the other three, and the four lamps broke three.


    The shopkeeper quickly came forward to check, distressed way "my guest how so careless, unexpectedly suddenly destroyed three glass lamp."


    The dandy sneered, "why did I break it? It''s obvious that your things are too easy to break. It''s more expensive to sell than gold, but it''s so easy to break. Isn''t that obvious


    The rest of the dandies echoed, "that''s it. This is a black shop."¡° That is, it''s worse than stealing money! "


    Seeing this situation, leisurely can''t see that these people are here to make trouble, and don''t know where the imperial guards who protect Shujia have gone. Just now I was walking around behind. When I got to this meeting, I had to work hard. Why can''t I see anyone?


    Leisurely doesn''t want to make things big. Even if she knows that these people are wrong, she plans to bear it. It''s a small thing to damage something. In case she hurts Shujia, she can''t do it at will. So she stepped forward and said with a smile, "I don''t mean to look at this young man, but it''s just a few small things. Forget it. Shopkeeper''s, seeing off the guests. "


    Who knows these people are not in the least affectionate, Song Si is a sneer, "forget it? If you want to deceive people, you''ll scare my brother. Now you just want to forget it. If you don''t go out and inquire about it, I''m so easy to get rid of it? "


    With that, he looked at leisurely with unrestrained eyes. Today, leisurely wears casual clothes, and only wears two or three inconspicuous hostas on his head. Song Si looked at her and thought that she was a servant. He said with disdain, "it''s not your turn to talk to me here. Isn''t this shop Shen Ze''s wife''s? Let her come out and give me an account in person. "


    The people next to him also began to coax, "that is, if you dare to mislead the fourth master of the Song Dynasty, you are tired of living!"


    Leisurely see them a pair of rogue like, very angry in the heart, think or want to send Shu Jia away. Who knows, Shu Jia just pushed aside the crowd and came out. Looking at Song Si, she said with a cold smile, "your name is Song Si? How dare you! I''m looking at you to die! "


    Song Si has been rampant in the capital for many years. When was he pointed at by the nose? Now the person who scolded him is still a little girl in her early ten years. She is angry and points at Shujia''s nose. She is about to scold her. But when she sees the other person''s face, she is dumb. Song Si is also a descendant of the royal family. A few years ago, when he was young, he went to the palace with his grandmother to greet him. He also went to the banquet of King Liang''s house and saw Shu Jia several times. Now, although I haven''t seen it for several years, I look familiar. Song Si held back the roar of his throat and thought about it. If you take a closer look at each other''s clothes, the white jade crown of lanolin on your head will tell you that it''s not ordinary. The servants around you, except the maid, have two pretty little guys. Their movements will tell you that they are the first-class eunuchs. Song Si suddenly sighed in his heart, this is really over!


    The rest of the dandies don''t know. Their family background is not as good as that of Song Si. No one has ever seen a member of the royal family, so they can''t guess the identity of Shu Jia. This meeting with Song Si suddenly crowed, one of them also joked, "Song Si, what''s the matter with you? Can''t it be that you can''t bear to scold someone when you see their beauty? They point at your nose and scold you for looking for death. We can''t bear it if we change it! "


    Voice did not fall, see song four vicious look back at him, "I see you are looking for death!"


    Then he knelt down to Shujia and said, "I''ve seen Princess Shujia. She''s a thousand years old. I do not know if the princess is here, and the offense is also requested by her royal highness. Yes, Song Si also had a donated six grade official position, so he could call himself "micro minister".


    The dandy, who was scolded by Song Si, was about to get angry. Seeing his action, he was stunned for a moment. Fortunately, the boy''s reaction was very quick, and he knelt down immediately. "I''ve seen the princess, the princess is thousands of years old, thousands of years old."


    The rest of the dandies also knelt down, one by one frightened and shivering, no longer as arrogant as before.


    Princess Dakang is very tough. Although she was not famous in the past, she can walk across the whole Dakang just because she is the eldest princess of Yuan Dynasty. They are nothing in people''s eyes.


    Song Si lamented in his heart that he didn''t expect to kick the iron plate this time. Pray in secret that Princess highness must have a good temper.


    Just at this time, the bodyguard who had been missing just now came into the shop with someone. He saw that this was the case. The head of the bodyguard was sweating. They just helped the princess to move some things to the nearby glass shop. How could they have done this in a short time?


    He sneeared at Miss Chia, and was thankful that his royal highness was safe and sound, or that his family''s life was not enough.


    If you want to say that Shu Jia had some scruples just now, the bodyguards who met her all came back, and she had the confidence in the moment. She went straight to Song Si and said, "who said it was a black shop just now? The shops in our palace have always been marked with a clear price. How can they become black shops without any deception? "

 Chapter 450

    Song Si is also a bachelor. He immediately slaps himself in the face. "Wei Chen is just joking. Since it''s your shop, how can it be a black shop? It''s just a joke, your highness. Don''t take it to heart. " But in the heart is can''t help scolding, don''t say this shop is Shen family? When did she become Princess Shujia. On second thought, the Shen family is Shujia''s outsider, and it''s unknown that there are Shujia''s members here. I''m really confused. I should persuade my grandmother. After all, the queen is only ill now, and she hasn''t officially collapsed yet! He scolded the owner of Jinghua County, who encouraged his grandmother.


    Shujia no longer looked at him, but went to the dandy who had just broken the set of glass cups, and asked crisply, "the set of glass cups you just broke, but the beloved of our palace, was so wasted by you, what should we do?"


    This dude is not saying that she has lost her hand now. She shivered back and said, "the little one really doesn''t know the love of her royal highness, or she dare not touch it. The princess will do whatever she says.


    Shujia sneered, "I''m lazy to worry with you. I''ll pay three times the original price."


    This person a listen, immediately stunned "what, five times?" He thought twice as much as he could pay for a big deal, so he could collect his private money and borrow a little more. This meeting Shu Jia wants five times all of a sudden, where does he go to raise so much money? If you want to go home, you have to be beaten to death by the elders.


    See him dare to retort, Shu Jia directly Jiao chide way "since five times too little, then ten times." After that, he took a look at the people on the ground. "Look at you, you should be very friendly on weekdays. Shouldn''t you be in trouble at the same time? Your brothers are bleeding. I''m sorry to come here for nothing. We don''t care more about one thing than the other. Each of you is filial to us for 5000 taels of silver. It''s over. How about it? "


    A few people want to swear, five thousand taels each! How dare she!


    Seeing that everyone was not satisfied, Shu Jia sneered and called the chief bodyguard, "these people have committed crimes and collided with our palace. According to the law, what should be the crime?"


    The chief bodyguard bowed himself and said, "I''ll report to the princess. I''ll collide with the princess''s instrument frame for no reason. I''ll cut it as usual." The bodyguard had been on the battlefield, and he had seen blood in his hand. At this time, he said this with full spirit, which made the hearts of the people on the ground tremble.


    Song four lips, want to rely on the mouth to beg for mercy, but the result Shu Jia is lazy and they again perfunctory go on, straight from command way "since they give face don''t, so don''t blame this palace merciless.". Each of them has 20 sticks, and then each of them will send them home. My palace is shocked today, so I want to go back to the palace and find my father to make decisions for me. "


    Then he raised his legs and was about to leave. All the dandies were shocked when they heard that they wanted to go up to heaven. Did they really have a good idea about this to the emperor? Shouted, "Princess Royal!"


    Leisurely also saw that most of Shujia''s words were made up of power, and now he advised, "it''s not a big deal. If it''s spread to the emperor, the emperor will punish her severely. When the time comes, their families will be angry that these people have provoked the princess and the emperor. How can they still take care of them? These people are lucky enough to get away with their lives. If they are not lucky enough, they may even have to take their lives. As soon as the princess is kind to her heart, why don''t she spare them? This time, it can be regarded as doing good every day. "


    This can be said to be every sentence of the hearts of the people, you know, Dandy also have dandy distress ah.


    Leisurely, he took another look at Song Si and said, "in particular, the fourth master of song is still the grandson of Princess Jingrou. In terms of seniority, he is also the cousin of the princess." Hearing leisurely speak for himself, Song Si''s eyes suddenly grow up.


    Shu Jia snorted, "I don''t have such a shameful cousin."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "no matter whether the princess recognizes it or not, where is the blood. Princess Jingrou is the elder of the clan. She is always reasonable. I think her grandson is not such a rogue. There may be something else to tell you about today''s affairs. " She had a premonition in her heart that there was the shadow of Jinghua''s mother and daughter in this matter, so she cheated. Sure enough, on hearing this, Song Si Yi immediately cried out, "still this lady has a unique vision. Aren''t our brothers cheated? The owner of Jinghua County was to blame. He went to the palace yesterday and didn''t know what he was angry with, so he ran to his grandmother and said bad things about the shop for a long time. Grandmother was very old and soft hearted. She believed it, so she asked the younger one to give her an explanation. I also listened to the villain''s provocation and mistakenly thought that the store was insulting, so I gathered a few brothers to come here. "


    After that, he cried out, "it''s all because I don''t know people clearly and believe slander by mistake, which leads to today''s disaster. These brothers are called by me to help me. When one person works alone, the princess wants to kill and cut. Just rush towards me, and ask the princess to show mercy and put them back.


    I didn''t expect that Song Si had some backbone, not only leisurely, but also Shu Jia looked up at him.


    People kowtow and beg for mercy one after another. "We are all together. We want to go together. Please forgive me this time, and I will repay you for your kindness. "


    When Shujia heard that the preface didn''t match the following words, "poof Chi" burst out with a smile, "look at your clothes. You must have read books. You haven''t learned any serious literary talent and martial arts, but you have learned all this nonsense."


    With that, he paused for a moment and said in a crisp voice, "just look, I''ll spare you this time because I''m in a good mood today. I''ll pay double for that set of glazed lamps. Go away. "


    On hearing this, song four took the lead in kowtow, "thank you very much for your royal highness. Then he took out a few banknotes from his pocket, counted them, no more, no less, just a thousand Liang, and handed them to the attendant next to him.


    Shujia didn''t look at it, and said, "let''s have tea. Everyone will have a share of it if you come out with us today." The next people are very happy, have more than thanks.


    Looking at this scene, those dandies are bleeding to see others. Nowadays, people are doing better than themselves. They can easily get tens of taels of silver. It''s a month''s worth! Although few of you live on monthly income alone, it does not hinder their "hatred of the rich" in this situation.


    Especially Song Si, covering his empty purse, was about to cry. Was it easy for him to buy a pet from his grandmother every day? The Communist Party of China has saved so much private property. Now it''s good. There''s no money left.


    Shu Jia saw that they were still in the same place and frowned, "why don''t you go? Is it difficult for us to send someone to see you off? "


    Song Si said with a smile, "don''t bother the princess. I''ll leave now." Finish saying, take brothers to be about to turn round, listen to Shu Jia to shout again "stop!"


    The Song dynasty war came back with fear. "I don''t know what your royal highness commands."


    Shujia said, "don''t talk about today''s affairs. If there''s any gossip outside, you should be careful of your head."


    Song Si shivered and joked. They said that they would not talk about it. Let the family know, at least not a board?


    He quickly squeezed out a smile, squeezed his face and said, "don''t worry, your highness. I promise you won''t talk nonsense."


    Shujia nodded and said, "well, I''ll trust you once. Besides, the shop in our palace is always in good business. Apart from you, you can''t help but have other people who don''t have eyes to make trouble. I have lived in the palace for a long time, so I always know things outside slowly. Since you are so lucky to bump into me today, we will give you the safety of this shop. If something similar happens in the shop in the future, no matter who did it, I will write it down to you. "


    The four eyes of the Song Dynasty turned round, instead of reluctantly, instead, they solemnly replied, "Princess your highness, please be assured that after that, the little ministers will take a tour with their brethren every day. Whoever wants to make trouble will never give them any mercy." If he can rely on the great prince by the power of the great princess, then he will see who dares to laugh at him for being a dandy who can accomplish nothing! Of course, now he only dares to say a word in his stomach.


    Shu Jia saw that he was on the way, but also relaxed his face. "If you can really do something serious, you have your own advantages. Well, let''s go. You have ruined the good mood of our palace today. "


    Seeing that Shujia''s face changed several times after only a few words, Song Si''s heart was dripping with sweat. This was the real golden branch and jade leaf. He could do whatever he wanted. Although his grandmother was also the respect of the princess, he had to coax her when he met this one. In the end, it''s still a little thin with today''s blood.


    Think of here, song four not from the past arrogance convergence a few points.


    As soon as they walked, they finally breathed a sigh of relief: "it''s all my fault, or I have to take the princess to see the shop, and I won''t let the princess have such a bad heart. It''s a surprise to the princess. " Finish saying, deep line a big gift.


    Shujia took her arm and said with a smile, "my aunt is so polite. You were kind. How could you expect such a thing? Anyway, it''s no fun to go back to the palace. Today, I''ve opened my eyes and seen some different scenes in Beijing. Otherwise, I''ve only heard the word "dandy" before, but I haven''t really seen it yet. "


    After that, Shujia told the servants, including the bodyguards, not to disclose today''s affairs. Everyone knew that if the palace knew about it, Princess Shujia would be reprimanded, and they would be miserable, so they were all busy.


    After staying in the palace for a long time, I knew what to say and what not to say.


    Seeing off Shujia, leisurely at last, I felt relieved. This day is more tiring than when I was a little servant girl.

 Chapter 451

    When Shen Ze came back in the evening, he told him about the day. Then she covered her chest and said, "although Princess Shujia is young, she is kind and reasonable. Otherwise, I''m afraid it can''t be done well today. I really didn''t expect that Princess Jingrou was so overbearing and wanted to do that thing


    Shen Ze frowned and said, "when did the Song family come up with the idea of your dowry shop? Why haven''t you talked about it before? "


    Leisurely then he felt that he had let slip his words. He said with a smile, "the steward of the eldest princess''s family has been here once. Through such a little meaning, he wants to spend some money to set up Liuguang Pavilion. I thought that as long as it was almost the same, I would sell Princess Chang''s mansion a face. However, the price they offered was too unreasonable, so I didn''t agree. I thought it was the past, but I didn''t expect that their family would be so blatant. "


    Shen Ze sneered, "the Song family, relying on the power of the eldest princess, has done a lot of things to bully others. If you can say words like "not like words", it seems that they must have given very little money? "


    Leisurely sighed, "it''s not rare. Their family only gave 5000 taels of silver. They wanted to take over all the shops, workshops and teachers." If you can, leisurely also do not want to fight against the clan. It''s just that they really look down on people when they offer this price. Not to mention the workshop, this shop alone is worth more than 10000 taels of silver at the current market price.


    After that, she said with emotion, "our lady is still here, these people are so arrogant, do you think our family will decline?"


    Shen Ze patted her on the shoulder and said, "there will always be snobs like that. Don''t worry about them. It is estimated that they will only use some similar private means, but they dare not directly attack us. Fortunately, we are going to leave soon, and there will be a few years when we don''t have to pay attention to these villains any more. "


    Leisurely reaches out his hand and holds Shen Ze''s hand. "I don''t worry about us. Now that person wants to use you, it won''t make us shameless. I''m just worried about the queen. What''s that place in the palace? The most important thing is to step down and hold high the boundary. Although there is a prince and a princess in the palace, they still don''t know how to wait for the empress. There are also so many imperial concubines. Which one is a good friend? "


    Shen zeshen sighed, "now we are just worrying for nothing, and we can''t work hard in the palace. However, you also said that as long as the prince and the princess are there, and the Empress Dowager is watching, those palace people will be indifferent. What we can do now is to go to the southwest to build some achievements, so as to add some support to the empress. "


    Leisurely nodded, "now, it can only be so." Then, thinking of something, he raised his head and asked, "these two days, several close people have come to inquire. You have just been promoted to second grade and are about to leave. Everyone wants to send you."


    Shen Ze pondered a little, then shook his head and said, "forget it, the time is not right now. I left early in the morning, and some of my official duties have not been handed over. I really don''t have time to do this. "


    Leisurely echoed: "I think so too. Now it''s better for our family to keep a low profile. It''s just that there are quite a few of your colleagues in other families. If you''re not good at making your own decisions, just ask your opinions. " Shen Guogong just left that meeting, leisurely obviously can feel these people and oneself walk around reduced a lot. Just waiting for Shen Ze''s promotion, some people are busy coming to give gifts, which really makes leisurely dislike.


    According to the temperament of leisurely past life, such as this kind of snob, she is lazy to see. But the world is so, leisurely here for so many years, has long been used to wearing a mask of hypocrisy and all kinds of hypocrisy.


    Fortunately, such days will soon come to an end. To the other side of Fujian, Tiangao emperor far away, with her Gaoming level, do not want to see people do not have to perfunctory, think about it, feel comfortable!


    Early in the morning of the third day, Shen Ze took some of his subordinates and went to battle light. Before dawn, he left the capital quietly. As soon as the news came out, many people who want to give gifts again were disappointed. Leisurely doesn''t have time to care about whether these people are disappointed or not. Although all the things are picked up by servants, she needs to worry about what to take with her and what servants to leave behind. Some precious gold and silver are soft, and she doesn''t trust to let the little servant girls do it. She takes several big servant girls with her to tidy up.


    In addition, there must be a big difference in diet when we go thousands of miles. Leisurely has been to Gulangyu in her previous life, but the logistics was very developed at that time. After she went there, she did not seriously study the local food except eating fruit or fish balls. Apart from fish balls and seafood, leisurely can''t remember what special food there is in Fujian


    It''s just that I''m not used to it and I can''t help it. It''s estimated that any food can be broken even if it''s taken there so far. In addition to some pickles and dried vegetables, seasonings and other things, leisurely let their own pickle shop will choose a jar of pickles. It''s also a cool autumn season, and a thoughtful Chuang tou specially sent the fresh dried vegetables. There are cowpeas, radishes, lettuce, vegetables and other dried vegetables, as well as some dried apples and pears.


    It''s the right gift to leisurely''s appetite, so it gives people a thick appreciation of the villa. It''s just that there are too many things, so as long as the servant girl tidies up one of them, the rest will be given to the people who are close to her.


    Knowing that they are going to leave, everyone must have a congratulatory gift. Especially in the family of her parents and other physical relatives, there is a lot of sadness. Originally, Lin''s mother worried that her son-in-law would leave ahead of time, which would make it inconvenient for her daughter and other women and children on the way. Later, he knew that his nephew would follow him, which was a little reassuring. After all, no matter how capable Shen Jiang was, he had not yet got married. In the old man''s heart, the one who didn''t get married was that she didn''t grow up. She always regarded Shen Jiang as a child. She always felt that he was not as safe as the older one. Yang Lu is also his own nephew. Naturally, he is more kind. My worry is a little less. No matter how worried she was, she couldn''t tell her daughter to stay. Lin''s mother is a young widowed man. Although she hasn''t been through this, she has seen enough in such a big year. She knew that no matter how well the couple left for a long time, the relationship would be alienated. If she really stopped her daughter, she would have harmed leisurely all her life.


    In this way, leisurely with the care of relatives, with a pair of sons and Yulian and others, on September 20, after saying goodbye to all, he formally embarked on a distant journey.

 Chapter 452

    They first took a carriage to Jinmen port, and then changed to the official ship. Along the way, Yang Lu, Shen Jiang and other people were out to manage the food and daily life, which was really appropriate. After all, now leisurely is also a second-class official. It''s too late for local officials along the way to curry favor with each other, and they don''t make trouble on purpose any more.


    It was a long journey. The official ship went all the way south. It could be said that it passed most of the coastline of kangchao. Naturally, there were many prosperous ports on the way. If leisurely had the chance to pass through so many places in his previous life, he could not help going down for a stroll. But now she only wants to get on the road as soon as possible so that she can get to Fujian as soon as possible, so she doesn''t have much interest in browsing the scenery except for the necessary stops along the way.


    In fact, it''s not just her. This time she''s going south, in addition to her relatives, several of Shen Ze''s subordinates are also with her. Xu Guang''s wife, the Wei family, the wife of another deputy general, Chen Shan''s, and the family members of several soldiers were all attached to this official ship. Fortunately, the official ship is big enough, three stories high and has more than 20 rooms, so the people who live in No. 100 are not too crowded.


    All of you are in the same mind. You all want to get to Fujian as soon as possible and see your husband as soon as possible. Therefore, even though many ports and docks are extremely prosperous, no one proposes to go shopping. Maybe someone has this idea, but if you don''t say it, leisurely you don''t know. Anyway, she didn''t see anything good in her previous life? Moreover, Rongcheng port is the most prosperous sea trade port in the Dakang Dynasty. What''s good there? Why delay on the road? If there is any more accident, it will be more worrying.


    Therefore, the official ship was in a hurry all the way. In addition, the Lord of heaven made a beautiful trip. He didn''t encounter big waves all the way. It can be said that it was smooth. Although it was a little too far in a day, it was normal to walk hundreds of miles a day. Fortunately, the official ship was big enough and stable enough. Although we were not used to it at first, we got used to it after a long time. Bored, a few women get together to play horse crane, drink tea, chat, and so on, and time passes quickly.


    Leisurely was worried about the young and weak children and what would happen on their way. I didn''t expect that several children adapted very quickly, especially kangge''er and heping''er, who had never been seasick at all. They were lively and energetic all the way. Every day in the boat up and down the run non-stop, often run to the deck to see play.


    There are still some bumps on the boat. Leisurely is also afraid that they will hurt their eyes when they read on the boat, so they don''t care about reading or reading. Let them play on the boat, just send nanny and others to watch them. Even they did not stop talking and playing with boatmen and sailors. Boys should see more of the world. Now it''s so easy to have such an opportunity. What can we learn from staying in the room?


    Wei''s son is two years old this year, which is the age of running everywhere. When she saw leisurely style, she did not care about her son. She often asked the servant girl to hold her son to play with Kang and Ping.


    Her move made Guo, another married woman, disdain her. Guo''s family is the oldest among the family members of this group. She is different from the general family members. She was born in a farming family. Her father was an imperial scholar. Therefore, compared with other colleagues, Guo hopes that his son will be a civil servant in the future. The eldest son of the Chen family, who is 14 years old, studies in Wenhua Academy on weekdays. This time, instead of going south with him, he stayed in Jingzhong to go to school. With her is the eldest daughter Yuzhen and the youngest son Yulin. Although Yulin is only seven years old this year, she has already memorized the thousand character essay and the Three Character Classic, and can recite hundreds of Tang and Song poems.


    In Guo''s eyes, the younger son''s aptitude is better than his brother''s, so she is trying her best to cultivate her young son. Every time the sound of children''s fighting comes from the deck, little Yulin can''t help but yearn for it. He hoped that his mother would let him go out to play for a while, but he could only bury the hope in his heart when his mother''s eyes were full of hope.


    Guo can''t see the extravagance in her son''s eyes. She just hopes that her son can concentrate on studying hard and become famous all over the world in the future. Then she will be successful in this life.


    On this day, there were drizzles in the sky and dark clouds outside. Although there was not much wind and waves on the sea for the time being, for the sake of safety, the official ship stopped at a nearby port. This place belongs to Haitan County of Jiangnan Prefecture, which is also a very busy big port. The place where they stopped this time was very close to the shore, because there were not many vegetables, fruits, rice and noodles on board, which needed to be supplemented. Yang Lu was just about to take someone ashore to purchase, so he sent someone to ask if he had anything to bring. Kangge''er and heping''er heard about it and ran to leisurely. They insisted on going to have a look together. Leisurely looking at the continuous drizzle outside, frowned and said, "it''s raining outside, you two don''t play around."


    It''s easy for the two little ones to seize this opportunity. Naturally, they won''t let it go. Don''t mention the two of them, even the little girl taoliang is shining a pair of bright eyes, looking at leisurely with full expectation.


    It happened that several of the women''s family members were here. Wei first said with a smile, "since the two young masters are going, let them have a look. As usual, it''s dark when we pull in. Although it''s cloudy today, it''s just noon. Let them go and open their eyes and find more servants to follow


    Leisurely headache stroked the forehead, she didn''t want to let her son open his eyes. But such a port has always been a gathering place for all sorts of people. As long as she thought of the scene of Yinglian lost in the Red Mansion, she was not at ease. She said to her two sons, "your uncle is going to do something. Isn''t it cumbersome for you to follow him?"


    This reason obviously can''t convince the two brothers. Kangge''er said with a strong voice, "that can let uncle Jiang take us."


    Leisurely back to the way, "you Jiang Er Shu still have things to do, how can you just accompany you around." As soon as their ship landed, the local parents would send someone to inquire. There must always be a man with enough status on board.


    Hearing this, Xu said with a smile, "if they want to go, let them go. Take a few more steady servants. I guess brother Ming will want to go too. Let him come with him and have a look after him. " Mingge''er is her eldest son. He is 15 years old. In order to avoid suspicion, he has been living with his father on the first floor and has never come up.


    Leisurely knows that brother Ming is not old, but he always follows his father with a lot of experience and is very safe, so he answers.

 Chapter 453

    Leisurely called two son''s wet nurse to come over, carefully told some, turn head to see peach good a face of envy. Look at Shen Xi again, although not as obvious as Tao Liang, his eyes also show some yearning. At the moment, he said with a smile, "well, if you two don''t dislike the rain outside and the mud on the ground, you''ll go with them to open your eyes."


    Two people are very happy. What''s the rain? There are shoe covers on both sides. Isn''t it a pair of shoes? Such opportunities are not always available. So they went back to their room to change their clothes.


    See two people in a hurry back, leisurely can not help but smile to the side of the crowd said "in the end are still children, like to go out to play."


    Several of the women''s families all agreed with each other with a smile, "yes, at our age, don''t we also like Han eating and playing?" Only Guo''s heart is not satisfied, that taoliang is just, looking at is ten years old, barely a little girl. But the eldest lady of the Shen family, I heard that she is sixteen years old this year, two years older than her own daughter. She still wants to go out to play when she is so old, so she shouldn''t be. Mrs. Shen didn''t stop her. It''s really out of order.


    Only Guo Shi is not stupid after all, know this words can''t say clearly, only in the bottom of my heart abdominal Fei some time.


    He sent the little guys away and said with a leisurely smile, "it''s raining all the time. I can''t go today. You may as well go back and see what you want to buy. You can send people out to buy some. Even if you want to go shopping, it doesn''t matter. I''ve inquired about it. The public security of this port is pretty good. There are many shops on the wharf. It''s feasible for you to go shopping. Just pay attention to safety and come back before dark. "


    Hearing this, everyone was very happy. They were so busy that they took leave one after another and went back to make their own arrangements.


    After everyone left, Gan Song said to leisurely, "since the opportunity is rare, why don''t you go up and have a look?"


    Carefree touch their own pain in the abdomen, since she married, although has been careful to recuperate, but this dysmenorrhea problem is only alleviated. Usually, there are many inconveniences on this ship, but it happens to be such a rainy day. Everywhere she felt wet, and her lower abdomen was extremely uncomfortable. She had not suffered like this for a long time.


    Hearing Gan song''s question, he just said with a smile, "it''s nothing. It''s raining. It must be wet outside. I don''t want to go out. Just as they are all gone, help me to bed for a while. "


    Gan song hesitated and said, "I see that I''m going to have lunch soon. Why don''t you wait for me to have lunch and have a rest?"


    Leisurely shook his head, "I don''t want to eat, so they don''t have to send it here."


    While talking, Yulian and Su he came in from the outside side by side. Su He, holding a tray in his hand, went to leisurely, took a small bowl from the top, and said with a smile, "aunt, you look a little bit bad, so she went to make this bowl of black fungus and red dates soup for you. Please try it quickly."


    No wonder just now everyone was talking, jade lotus suddenly disappeared, it is to busy this. Leisurely heart a warm, smile way "let cousin trouble."


    Yulian said with a smile, "this is nothing. I can''t help you. I can only do this little thing. It happened that there was no brown sugar in the kitchen, so I asked Su He for some. Know you don''t eat ginger, there is no ginger in it, otherwise the effect will be better. Drink while it''s hot. "


    Leisurely took the bowl with a smile and ate it one by one. Yulian asked Gansong to drink a soup. She wrapped it in a sweat towel and tied it to her waist. "This is the root of your illness when you were young. It''s not easy to go. I look at you every time you come back to a small day, as long as it''s cloudy and rainy, it will be very difficult. This time I was on the boat again, and I felt even worse. It''s just that there are so many people just now that I can''t make a list of them for you. "


    Soup on the total Sheng palm big bowl, talking, leisurely has been eating soup and water. Seeing this, Yulian asked, "how are you? Are you better?" Leisurely smile nodded, "or cousin careful, I thought to endure a past even." After eating the soup for a while, leisurely I felt a warm feeling in my lower abdomen, and the pain was much lighter than just now. Jade lotus angry her one eye "know you save trouble, but also can''t take own body joke." Leisurely said with a smile, "I don''t know when it''s serious, but it will be better in the morning. Maybe I didn''t pay attention to accompany them with two cups of tea just now. That''s great. It''s not easy to say that in front of those people. "


    Smell speech, jade lotus facial expression is more bad "still say oneself know weight, when, also dare to drink tea! I''ve told you many times that I''m not allowed to drink tea here, but I don''t have a long memory. I deserve it. "


    Leisurely embarrassed smile way "good elder sister, I know wrong, later never dare."


    Yu Lian clapped her hand helplessly. "You, you are usually very steady. Sometimes you are naughty. You are not as good as a child. Well, I''m tired for a long time. Take advantage of noon to have a rest


    Leisurely smile and nod. After seeing off Yulian, she got up and went to the clean room to change the moon belt. Su he wanted to help, but she stopped him. After all, the influence of previous life is still there. After all these years, I''m not used to having outsiders present when I do these private things. Just now she felt strange, but later she felt much less pain. At this meeting, there are lots of clots.


    After changing into clean clothes, leisurely then went to bed to lie down. Originally just want to lie down, after all, in broad daylight may not be able to sleep. I didn''t think that she was a little tired and weak these two days, so she soon fell asleep.


    Hazy, leisurely heard a voice, she put her ears, see no one came in reply, and turned over to continue to sleep.


    In his sleep, leisurely felt as if he was wrapped up by a group of warm things. What a familiar touch. Leisurely can''t remember what it felt like, but he instinctively moved towards that direction. She tried to open her eyes, but still couldn''t help sleeping. Until the belly tied to the soup woman some cold, she vaguely solution down to the side. Accustomed to the warm environment of the abdomen all of a sudden direct contact with the humid air, and suddenly some uncomfortable. Leisurely frowned, holding his right hand over his head. In a moment, I felt a big warm hand covering the back of my hand.


    Wait, big hand? Looks like a pair of men''s hands!


    Leisurely moment wake up from sleep, she "Shua" opened her eyes, just on a pair of familiar slightly smiling eyes. She asked pleasantly, "when did you come? Isn''t it in Rongcheng? Why are you here all of a sudden? "

 Chapter 454

    It''s Shen Ze, not someone else.


    It''s only reasonable that Shen Ze should fight against Japanese in Rongcheng at this time? Why are you here all of a sudden. Leisurely heart murmurs, mouth straight asked out.


    Shen Ze pondered, "the Japanese pirates are just a group of refugees, some of whom were deserters before the Jinsha state. When I got to Rongcheng, I tried to find out the details of them, and it was easy to catch them all. This time, I also went to the nearby Bincheng to check the coastal defense. Who would have thought that the ship was blown to this side when there was a storm on the sea. Originally, after a long time of trimming, I was ready to leave, but also happened to meet my cousin in the city. When you know you''re here, come and have a look. "


    Although Shen Ze''s words are very light, leisurely intuition is that things here are not so simple. But since he didn''t say it, leisurely he didn''t ask much. There may be some important military secrets here. Since Shen Ze doesn''t say that, there must be his reason. As long as she knew that the Japanese pirates had been annihilated, her husband would be safe.


    Leisurely brain a turn, and asked "Japanese pirates so quickly out, the emperor will not call you back?"


    Shen Ze shook his head and said, "not for the time being. Although most of the Japanese pirates were destroyed, a small part of them fled overseas. When these people may be killed, Rongcheng is the most important sea trade port, so the public security here is particularly important. For a while and a half, the emperor will not transfer me back. At least he will wait for my three-year term to expire. "


    Nodded leisurely, "that''s fine." With a smile, he asked, "do you want to stay and go back to Rongcheng with us?"


    Seeing her hopeful eyes, Shen Ze wanted to nod down. However, after hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and said, "no, I still have official business on me. I''ll leave soon."


    Leisurely frowned and said, "it''s raining outside. It''s going to be evening soon. There will be another storm on the sea. How can you go?"


    Shen Ze took her hand and rubbed it. "We don''t want to go by sea. We''ll ride directly. It''s only 200 li away from Bincheng. We''ll be there soon. After two days in Penang, I''ll go back to Rongcheng. When you get to Rongcheng, I''ll pick you up at the dock myself. "


    Leisurely although know what he said is very reasonable, but still have a very reluctant heart. He only put his backhand around Shen Ze''s waist and buried his head in each other''s arms without saying a word.


    Shen Ze reached over her shoulder and patted her on the back. "Well, my wife is so intelligent and virtuous that she can understand her husband, right?"


    Leisurely poked his finger at Shen Ze''s chest and muttered, "I don''t want to be a good wife and mother. I want to be a fox spirit. I will entangle you and won''t let you go."


    She seldom does such a coquettish little daughter posture, occasionally a let Shen Ze heart is also tender hearted, can''t help but reach out to her more tightly.


    The couple have not seen each other for more than two months. It''s the first time they''ve been apart for such a long time since they got married, so leisurely really has some feelings of missing.


    It''s just that she is not the kind of person who has no sense of propriety. Some words are just words. After a moment, he raised his head from Shen Ze''s arms, bit his lips and said, "since you still have to go, you should go quickly. Kangge''er has gone to the wharf and has no idea when he will come back. You don''t have to wait any longer, or you won''t be able to get to Bincheng tonight. "


    Shen Ze nodded, "OK, I''ll wait for you in Rongcheng."


    Leisurely then said, "it''s raining outside. Do you have rain proof gear on you? Have you got anything to eat? " Shen Ze nodded, "don''t worry, everything is ready."


    "It''s still raining outside. How can I be at ease when I''m on my way on such a day and I don''t have a good sight I don''t know why, leisurely at the moment, there is always a bad feeling in my heart. She wanted to keep him, but she also knew that he was not the kind of person who would ignore official business for the sake of his children''s private feelings, so she had to let him go. Shen Ze reached out and stroked her silk and said softly, "it''s OK. It''s not raining much outside. It''s just drizzle. It''s nothing without rain gear. However, in order to let my wife rest assured that my husband will be dressed neatly, and strive not to get a drop of rain, will not let himself sick. How about that? "


    Leisurely heard the sound of raindrops beating on the edge of the window. He was speechless in his heart. Although the rain was not big, it was windy by the sea and the wind direction was not fixed. He would get wet on his body and face on horseback. What Shen Ze said was obviously just to coax her.


    Although knowing that what the other party said was empty talk, leisurely also had no other way, so I had to bite my lower lip and say, "this is what you said. Even if you were caught in the rain and sick, you are next to us. We can''t take care of you or take care of you. Everything depends on you."


    Shen Ze chuckled, "don''t worry. I will treasure myself for your mother''s sake." Then he looked at the floor clock in the room and said, "it''s really late. I''m leaving." Leisurely nod, get up to see him off.


    Seeing that she was wearing thin clothes, Shen Ze pulled down a cloak from the shelf and put it on for her. "It''s a set of lessons for others, but I don''t know how to take care of myself. The ship is wet. You should pay more attention to maintenance. If you need any supplements, just let people buy them. It''s estimated that it will rain for a few days. If you can''t leave for a while and a half, you can go to the shore and have a look. Don''t be so bored. "


    I didn''t expect that I would stop talking, but this man was talking about it and laughing leisurely, "OK, I know. There''s a cousin watching. I''ll be fine. It''s you. You must be safe on the road. "


    Shen Ze agreed. They went to the door together. Shen Ze didn''t let her go out. "It''s windy outside. Don''t come out as soon as you wake up. It''s a pain in the wind."


    Leisurely hand a hat button, straight out of the door, "so there is no wind."


    Seeing this, Shen Ze shook his head helplessly and pinched her palm again. "I''m gone, you go in quickly." With that, he walked away with great strides.


    Leisurely watching his back disappear in the stairway on the third floor, and looking down from the railing. A moment later, Shen Ze appeared on the deck of the first floor. His men were waiting on deck. Xu Shi feels the leisurely eyes. Shen Ze turns around, smiles at her and makes a move to let her go back to her room. Then he left with the crowd.


    This time, he didn''t look back. Turn leisurely to the other side of the string and watch them go to the shore, mount their horses and head south. Until they can''t see the news from their back, they go back to the house with a sense of loss.


    Fortunately, leisurely not lost for a long time, Shen Ze left for a while, Kangtai they came back chirping.

 Chapter 455

    Leisurely heard the movement and waited in the room. But after waiting for a long time, he didn''t see them coming, so he told Su He, "go out and have a look. Why didn''t you come back?"


    Su he went out, but she came back in a moment. She covered her mouth and said with a smile, "madam, don''t worry. It''s just muddy outside. The young master and the girls are not clean and tidy, so they all go back to the room to clean up. After a while, they''ll come to greet madam."


    Smell speech, leisurely smile "so I don''t want to go out in rainy days, no matter how fun it is, the thought of covered with mud ideas has no interest."


    Just then, Xiaokang Ping came in wearing a suit and holding a small wooden knife. "Mother, mother, look at my big knife, OK?" His wet nurse and servant girls came after him with clothes, shoes and socks.


    After Xiaokang Ping came in, he jumped into leisurely''s arms. Leisurely reached out and held him in his arms. Seeing that he didn''t even wear shoes, he couldn''t help but say, "you are naughty again. It''s so cold on the ground. How can I come here barefoot, and I don''t wear a coat. If I catch a cold accidentally, I''ll have to drink some medicine. "


    Kangping outstretched his tongue and obviously didn''t like this topic. He stretched out his voice and called "mother". Then he raised the knife in his hand to leisurely and said, "mother, look at my big knife, isn''t it very powerful?"


    He nodded his forehead leisurely. "Yes, it''s awesome! I just admire our great Xia Kangping Kangping didn''t care about the teasing in his mother''s kiss. He was still happy and beautiful.


    At this time, Gan song beat a basin of warm water to come over, wet PA Zi, help Kang Ping clean feet. Seeing this, his nurse quickly put on his shoes and socks and muttered, "the second young master can''t do this in the future. It''s getting colder and colder. It''s not a joke if the soles of his feet are frozen."


    Smell speech, carefree knead Kang Ping''s small nose "hear the words of nurse?"? You can''t be so bold in the future, you know? " While talking, he took the coat from the nurse and put it on Kangping.


    Kangping was a little reluctant. His little mouth pouted, but he said, "I know, mother." Then he said to his nanny, "nanny, I know it''s wrong. Don''t be angry." Nanny even said she didn''t dare.


    Leisurely then he touched his head with a smile, "our Kangping is the best."


    When she said this, it happened that Kangtai came in with short legs. When she heard this, she was not happy. "Mother, you only praise your brother, don''t you think I''m good?"


    Leisurely helpless smile way "good, you are also good.". You are all my good sons. " She never deliberately let her older son give way to her younger son. Clothing, food, housing and transportation are always treated equally. Even, occasionally, he would lean to the elder brother to help him maintain his "dignity" in front of his younger brother.


    In the end, Kang Tai is still young, which shows a smile. He handed his brother a kaleidoscope in his hand. "Here, this kaleidoscope is for you." Because Kangping was young and had limited monthly savings, it was not enough to buy a kaleidoscope. He had no choice but to buy the wooden knife. His elder brother gave him a kaleidoscope. Then he took it with a smile and threw the small wooden knife away.


    After a while, Shen Xi and Tao Liang also came. Leisurely, seeing that they were all satisfied, he said with a smile, "this time, did you fulfill your wish? What about? Is it fun on the dock? "


    Shen Xi said with a smile, "it''s really no fun to play. It''s just all kinds of shops. But the houses here are different from those in the capital. The houses in the capital are built in a wide atmosphere. The houses here are very low and narrow. Even the shops are deep and secluded. The windows are all made of wood. There are very few glass windows. It would be dark if there were no lights on this day. "


    Tao Liang also echoed: "the house is really narrow and small. I heard that the first floor of the house they live in is uninhabitable. I don''t know if the place where we will live in the future is the same? " Leisurely did not think about this problem, she comforted, "we will live in the government, it will not be too bad, rest assured." Then he asked, "since there''s no fun, why did you go so long?"


    Hearing this, Shen Xi said with a smile, "although most shops don''t have much to shop around, there is a Western shop and a north-south shop that are very different. The two shops have large facades, and the doors and windows are inlaid with large pieces of glass. They look magnificent from the outside. It''s also full of food, food, play and so on. We just went for a stroll. When we saw it was late, we came back. We didn''t even finish half of the stroll. " There was a sense of something in the tone.


    With that, she took a beautifully packaged brocade box from the servant girl behind her. After opening it, it was a gorgeous and colorful gem brooch. Shen Xi handed it to leisurely with a smile. "Those western things are fresh. If you look carefully, the workmanship is not very fine. It''s hard to choose a decent gift for my sister-in-law, and it''s a pleasant thing to look at. "


    Then Tao Liang took out a box and opened it. He said with a smile, "this pair of silk enamel Rouge boxes are exquisite. It''s for my niece to show filial respect to my aunt."


    Since it is the children''s heart, leisurely will all accept. After a careful appreciation, he turned around and gave it to Su He, "Haosheng put it away."


    Then he said with a smile, "sure enough, I''m still a girl. You can read me when you go out to play. It''s really gratifying. Look at the brothers. They don''t think about that at all


    Shen Xi quickly argued with his nephews, "don''t blame them, sister-in-law. They are still young."


    Leisurely smile and shake his head, "with you as an aunt, how dare I blame them?" Shen Xi pulled leisurely sleeve and cried, "sister-in-law knows me."


    Laughing, Gan song with a small maid brought a beam pot and a number of bowls.


    Seeing this, he said with a leisurely smile, "although it''s not raining much outside, you''ve got some moisture when you go out like this. Come on, let''s drink a bowl of brown sugar and ginger water to get rid of the cold."


    The two small ones, like leisurely, don''t like ginger most. Smell speech all pouted a small mouth, after waiting for the servant girl to put the bowl to the side of the mouth, all coincidentally turned the head to one side.


    The nannies are servants in the end and dare not persuade them deeply. Leisurely face a board, said, "obedient, you two brothers are men, quickly drink the sugar water, save the cold."


    Kangtai put out his tongue and said bitterly, "but the taste of ginger is so strange that I don''t like it when I smell it."


    Leisurely sigh, helpless way "in this world you don''t like many people and things, now is just a bowl of ginger sugar water, you can''t drink, let alone the future?" Then he sighed when he saw the two sons with almost the same big eyes as their father. It''s not a medicine, it''s sugar water, it''s sweet. Drink this quickly, save the cold and drink bitter medicine. Come, mother, drink with you


    With that, he took a bowl of "Gudong Gudong" from the table and drank it down.

 Chapter 456

    In fact, you don''t like the taste of ginger very much. After drinking this bowl of ginger syrup, you just feel that it''s a straight pungent taste from your mouth to your stomach. Just in front of the two children''s face, but it did not show any difference. With a light smile, he turned the empty bowl to the two brothers. "Look, mother, this weak woman has finished drinking. It''s up to you two little men."


    Xu was stimulated by the "man", and Kangtai took the porcelain bowl "Gudong Gudong" from the nurse''s hand with his mouth bulging. Kangping saw that his mother and everyone had drunk it. Knowing that he couldn''t escape, he picked up the bowl and finished the ginger soup.


    The next two days were rainy. In particular, they were at the seaside, and sometimes there were strong winds and waves. They were afraid to move forward in such weather, so the official ship had to stay here for a while.


    Although Shen Ze only stayed for a short time that day, how much relieved his leisurely thoughts and worries. So this time there was a gap, and she was quite interested in going to the quay. This time, it can be said that Shen Xi and Tao Liang are still in high spirits, although they visited once that day. With Yulian and Xu, there are many female dependents.


    This time I have plenty of time, and Yang Lu and others are familiar with the surrounding environment. Knowing that there are many cars and sedans specially rented out near the wharf, Yang Lu took his servants to rent some soft sedans and came back.


    In fact, there is really no fun, this is the first feeling after leisurely arriving on the shore. Some things may seem strange in other people''s eyes, but ordinary in her eyes. After staying on the boat for a long time, leisurely felt that even walking on the land was like floating. But it''s better than staying on the boat.


    Just like taoliang said, there''s really nothing to visit near the dock. Most of the facade is low and dreary, leisurely, even without the desire to go in. However, the two shops they visited at that time were really good. Leisurely, they also wanted to go shopping.


    The two shops are next to each other, North and South shops in the north and Western shops in the south. Having a leisurely look, I let the sedan chair driver stop at the gate of the Western shop. The owner of this shop is obviously intentional, and the servants in the shop are very good. As soon as the sedan chair came down and leisurely came out with Gan song''s hand, a young woman with a friendly face came up and said, "Hello, madam. I''m Zhong Liu. I''m in charge here. If you want anything, please give me your orders. "


    Leisurely and polite smile, "thank you, lady Zhong." I didn''t expect that this ancient shop had such considerate service. Not only was it welcomed, but also the floor was carefully paved with clean carpet. When I got off the sedan chair, I didn''t have to worry about being soiled by the mud on the ground.


    Everyone got out of the sedan chair one after another and went inside. Shen Xi murmured to Tao Liang, "when we came that day, no one came to the door to meet us. It was my sister-in-law who looked magnificent." Tao Liang replied, "no, we didn''t even have a sedan chair that day. We came all the way here. Our clothes were splashed with mud. We were somewhat embarrassed. How can we have such prestige now? We must follow my aunt when we go out in the future. What a show! "


    The jade lotus is laughing lightly to hiss a "come on, don''t be in that blind mutter.". Don''t talk. The shop is full. You two should be careful not to rub things Several people''s voice is not small, leisurely in front also listened to a probably, her heart is also wry smile, oneself which have what manner? It must have been someone else who looked at his family and found a steward. At least, it''s group shopping. It''s different from individual customers, isn''t it?


    As a matter of fact, she thought it was the same. The whole Party took a grand sedan chair for about 20 years. In addition to a few leisurely ones, even the big maid Su He and a few stewardesses had sedan chairs to do. In addition, there are some small servant girls and rough make the old woman to follow in the sedan chair side. Such a battle is not small, especially leisurely. Even the little servant girl in the house is well dressed. The clerk in charge of welcoming guests in the shop saw this person from a distance and told the shopkeeper. After hearing this, the shopkeeper pondered that there were only two big shops in the street, and they were all the same owners. He estimated that there was a big business coming. Needless to say, it was the women''s family members who were traveling in this battle, so the shopkeeper sent a woman steward to the door to meet them.


    It''s natural that lady Zhong has her own specialty to be a woman in charge. She has been in the shop for so many years, and the guests she has met are quite discerning. Leisurely although wearing a relatively low-key, and did not wear all over the head Zhucui. But at a glance, Mrs. Zhong could see that the white jade carved bamboo hairpin on her head was of lustrous quality and exquisite workmanship. At a glance, she knew that it was not an ordinary product. Leisurely, although she doesn''t feel that she has any special bearing, she has been a third grade Gaoming for several years. It was easy for lady Zhong to feel the unusual atmosphere in her, and she was more respectful when she thought of a group of young men and women waiting outside the shop. Leisurely and casually in the first floor around for a while, although a wide range of things, but not what she wanted. She glanced at it and then dropped her eyes. Even the jewels in the glass counter in the innermost section of the shop just made her glance more. Seeing this, Su he asked, "are these the only goods in your shop? Is there anything better? "


    The general female dependents are dismissive of other things, and they will be surprised when they see the jewelry. I didn''t expect that leisurely is a common appearance. Lady Zhong just began to murmur in her heart. Hearing Su he''s words, she quickly said, "yes, yes, please move to the second floor


    Shen Xi and Tao Liang look at each other. "How could there be a second floor?"


    Leisurely back to greet people, "go, let''s go to the second floor to have a look." Yulian said with a smile, "I won''t go up. I see that there are many good things on the first floor. Let''s have a look here." Xu also echoed, "yes, I just saw that some of the fabrics over there are very good. I''m going to have a look." Although she also wants to go up to open her eyes, the price of many goods on the first floor has already deterred her. Don''t go up on the second floor. Isn''t it more painful to see that the beautiful things can''t be bought?


    Wen Yan, leisurely also did not force "since this is the case, then you are free." But Tao Liang said with a smile, "then I''ll go up with my aunt and open my eyes."


    In this way, leisurely with two small on the second floor of an elegant room. The room is exquisitely decorated. The most wonderful thing is that there is a huge window on the sea side, with bright glass embedded in the window. At the moment, there was no sunshine, and the bamboo curtains were rolled up. Leisurely have a moment of trance, seems to have returned to the past life, here is not a distant different time and space, but the decoration of retro teahouse restaurant.

 Chapter 457

    In the end, living in a strange land, leisurely is just a moment of absence, and soon recovered as before.


    Lady Zhong asked leisurely to take the upper seat in the room, and Shen Xi and Tao Liang took the second seat. Leisurely with the corner of his eyes to see her behavior, heart secretly praise. It''s just Shen Xi. As the only lady in the Shen family, she has the style of everyone. However, taoliang is young and a guest, so his daily clothes are very low-key, sometimes not as gorgeous as those of several big servant girls. Lady Zhong''s eyes are also vicious. She can quickly tell who is the master from this group of people.


    After a few people sat down, a little servant girl brought fruit snacks and tea.


    Lady Zhong took a teacup from her little servant girl and delivered it to you ran in person. She said with a smile, "this is our special product" silver Monkey Mountain orchid ". Would you like to have a taste of it, madam?"


    When I took the cup leisurely, I saw that the middle leaves of the white porcelain cup looked like silver hooks, and the color of the tea was yellow. When I sniffed it gently, the fragrance of the orchid was fresh and pleasant. Then I took a sip and praised it as "sweet and mellow, it''s really good." Then he handed the cup to the maid.


    This tea is regarded as the top tea in their shop. It has always only served distinguished guests. This time she also saw leisurely wear bearing is not general, just took out the pain. I didn''t expect that after the other party tasted it, she was used to it. There were only two reasons for this. One was that the other party didn''t know tea, the other had a better one, and the other couldn''t see her own tea.


    Look at Shen Xi and Tao Liang again, the two little girls also have a calm look. Especially when Tao Liang is still young, he doesn''t know how to put on airs. It seems that the source of the other party is really not small. Lady Zhong can''t help being more careful.


    If Tao Liang knew her thoughts, she would make complaints about it. Although she is still young, her taste is not light. Like the general taste of green tea in her mouth is almost dull, she likes the aroma of Dahongpao and black tea and so on. For green tea has always been dispensable, even into the tea in her there is not very popular. Therefore, although the tea is good, it tastes like that to her. It''s better than drinking white water. If let Shen Xi know, must laugh at her "cow chew peony".


    Mrs. Zhong was not in a hurry to sell the goods. Instead, she waited for the three of them to have a rest for a while before she asked with a smile, "what kind of things does the lady want to see?"


    He took a leisurely look at Shen Xi and said with a smile, "do you have any better gems?"


    Lady Zhong said with a smile, "it happens that a batch of new products have just come to the shop. The gems are big and of good quality. I''ll take them myself." Ordinary people are not qualified to pick up such valuable jewelry.


    A moment later, lady Zhong came back with several boxes in her hands. She put things on the table in front of leisurely, opened them one by one, and saw a box filled with red gemstones, all the size of quail eggs. Although it''s not very big, it''s better than pure color. It''s a rare "pigeon blood red".


    The other box contains some cherry red, water red and other slightly less colored gems, all of which are the size of longan. The remaining two boxes are smaller, and they are also mixed in color, green, blue, purple.


    Leisurely picked up a few gems to have a look, in the heart is extremely satisfied with the quality of these gems. Then he asked with a smile, "what''s the price of these gems?"


    Lady Zhong replied with a smile, "which one does the lady like?"


    Before you go out, you can easily gather enough money, so you will have the courage to ask, "all these are required, please make a price." She felt a little dry in her mouth. Just as she wanted to reach for the tea cup, she thought of her childhood and gave up again.


    Seeing this, lady Zhong said with a smile, "look, I''m really careless. The tea is cold. Come on, go and get another cup." Then call to come over a small servant girl low voice to enjoin two. She was shocked by leisurely''s words just now, so she also took this opportunity to calm herself. Their shop is not small, and they don''t have such big customers, but they are usually big merchants. It''s rare to meet such a large-scale individual. In particular, the price of a single gem is extremely expensive. The total price of these boxes is close to 20000 taels. She hesitated for a moment about how to quote. Zhong Niang son talks to smile to temporarily diverge a topic, just in time small servant girl very quickly carry a tray to come back, still secretly handed a wink to her. This time, it was not green tea, but rose tea, and the cup was not porcelain cup, but glass cup. Although the glass is not as clear as the one in Shen Tian''s shop, it is also crystal clear.


    Lady Zhong put the teacup in front of leisurely and said with a smile, "our Dakang''s tea tastes the same. Maybe my wife is tired of it. Try this rose tea. It''s from France. This rose is the most suitable tea for women. First, madam. I''m not in a good position to make decisions on such a big deal. I have to ask the shopkeeper for advice. " Nod leisurely and let her be at will.


    This glass teacup is almost twice thicker than later generations, and its surface is slightly uneven. Today, with the bright rose, it is more simple.


    Waiting for them to drink most of a cup of flower tea, lady Zhong came back with a smile. This time, her attitude was more respectful than before, and she thought leisurely that she should know something. Think about it. If you can open such a big shop on the side of the wharf, the boss behind must have a good eye. Their identities were not deliberately concealed, and those who wanted to find them could find them.


    Lady Zhong said with a smile, "our shopkeeper said it''s rare to meet such a big client as Madam. This business won''t make money for your wife. I''ll only charge you a little capital. You can give me 20000 taels of silver altogether. "


    If these gems are brought to the capital, they can be sold for at least 50000 taels of silver. I''m afraid this price is really a purchase price. Leisurely, I don''t have any pretentious excuses. I immediately said with a smile, "OK, then I''m not polite. Thank your master for me. " Then he told Su He, "go and get the bank note."


    Then she turned her head and asked Shen Xi, "is there anything else you two want to buy?"


    They both shook their heads. When they came that day, they didn''t know they would stay here for several days, so they bought a lot of things. Now it can be said that they are short of money.


    Seeing them shaking their heads, they said with a leisurely smile, "it doesn''t matter. If you have something you like, just buy it. I''ll pay for it." These boxes of precious stones were much cheaper than she had imagined, so she was in a good mood and had the impulse to spend all the money she had saved.


    Seeing that they still shook their heads, leisurely they said to lady Zhong, "take some of the jewelry suitable for little girls here."


    Zhong Niang Zi agrees, let a person deliver to come over very quickly. It''s not one piece or two pieces. Three or four little maids brought over a dozen boxes, big or small, and the table was full.


    You can see that these jewelry have western style, but most of them are from the Kang Dynasty. Not from strange "Yi" a "your home is not western shop? Why is there something from kangchao? "

 Chapter 458

    Lady Zhong replied with a smile, "to tell you the truth, madam, the North-South shop next to us belongs to our family. We have our own silver house and some good silversmiths. These jewelry are made by us. I''ve selected some more exquisite ones for my wife. "


    Leisurely picked up a hairpin to have a look. The craftsmanship in the south is quite different from that in the capital. Although there is less atmosphere, the craft is more exquisite. The hairpin on her hand is filled with silk. First, make a rough flower shape with thicker gold wire, then curl it with thin wire, and fill it in the flower leaves. A few fingernail sized flowers clustered together to form a small flower ball with a red gem the size of a lotus seed in the middle. This hairpin is just one of a set of jewelry. The rest of the heart picking, top hairpin and other crafts are the same as this one. You can easily see it at a glance. With a smile, he said, "this set of head mounted gems is a little light pink, and the craftsmanship is exquisite. It''s quite suitable for little girls to wear." Then he took a look at Shen Xi. "I remember you had several sets of Hongbao faces. Let''s give them to taoliang."


    Then he pointed to a set of jadeite carved into a butterfly style head and said, "although the head of jadeite here is slightly worse, it''s better than the crisp and tender color. It''s also suitable for you to wear." Both of them smile and thank you. Then leisurely again chose the same jewelry for Yulian and Xu.


    Tao Liang saw that she was only looking at others, and pointed to one of the five treasures embedded in the silk. He said, "I can see that this set of faces is OK, and my aunt can buy some for herself. Otherwise, how can we live with it?"


    Leisurely smile at her look, "you talk more." With that, he said with some regret, "it''s very good, but I''m tired. I''ve already had several sets, and this set is nothing new."


    At this time, Shen Xi pulled out a box from one side, which was pressed at the bottom, and said with a smile, "I see that the carving process of these jade hairpins is pretty good, and the gems embedded on them are also neat. Does my sister-in-law like it¡°


    Leisurely took a look at her hand, "if it''s really good, our Xi sister''s eyes are more and more vicious. Just find one. " Then she pointed to a pair of red coral bracelets and said, "add this pair of bracelets and the ones mentioned just now


    Lady Zhong agreed with a smile.


    After choosing something, he glanced at the Western clock in the room and saw that it was the end of the hour. He couldn''t help laughing and saying, "I don''t think it''s noon after watching it for a long time. It''s time we went to lunch


    Then, he turned to ask lady Zhong, "is there any cleaner restaurant around here?"


    Lady Zhong said with a smile, "go out here, walk 200 meters north, and then turn right. There is a Deshun winery, which is built near the sea and has a beautiful environment. It''s also very clean and tidy. Zhejiang cuisine is very authentic. If you don''t want to eat local food, go straight north 500 meters, there''s a Beijing style restaurant, which specializes in Beijing cuisine. It''s also delicious. "


    Smell speech, leisurely smile, "it''s not easy to come here, of course, to taste the local characteristics." Then he turned to look at Shen Xi and said, "what do you think?"


    Shen Xi nodded and said, "it''s better for my sister-in-law to be the master." Taoliang, on the other hand, is something that some people don''t choose.


    So, several people went downstairs with each other. As soon as I got to the stairway, I heard a quarrel, and leisurely I heard Xu''s voice. Shen Xi was also a little surprised and said, "it seems to be my cousin''s voice." Lady Zhong, who is behind, is worried. I don''t know who is in conflict with this pedestrian. Don''t spread it to her shop.


    Leisurely walk a few steps down the stairs, only to see at the counter, Xu and Yulian several people are with another group of married women confrontation.


    Just listen to Xu''s angry way, "this hairpin is clearly my first choice. How can you come up and grab it? How unreasonable


    Just listen to the young woman who is full of gold ornaments on the other side and say, "I''m unreasonable? Look at your poverty. Can you afford such a hairpin? I''m afraid the most I can do is to try it on the plug. I won''t buy it at all. " With that, he said to a guy on the side, "you know my identity. You can''t wipe my face for a stranger." Man, you''re in a dilemma. When she was about to go back, she heard a cold female voice ring, "she won''t buy this hairpin, but not because she doesn''t have money, but because she doesn''t like it."


    Then he turned to Xu and said with a smile, "my cousin really wants you to go to the second floor with us. You have to wait here. This floor is full of ordinary goods. How can you look up to it? Come and see if I like the hairpin I picked for you? " Then he took a brocade box from the maid''s hand, opened it and handed it to Xu.


    Leisurely helped her to pick out a pair of red silk gold hairpins with five treasures embedded in Ruyi pattern. Even in the room, the jewel beads as big as lotus seeds were shining brightly. The woman beside her had straight eyes.


    Xu thought leisurely was just looking for a place for her, so he said with a smile, "it''s still like this to my appetite. The hairpin just now is more westernized in its work. I''ll take it up and see what''s unusual. What''s so good about a gold-plated hairpin without jewelry? "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "isn''t it? The world''s Officialdom likes to judge people by their appearance, but some people like to look down on others instead of their own knowledge. Without saying * *, the single lady''s hair on the head of the wood is also worth ten hairpins.


    Yulian also echoed the saying, "that''s to say, the predecessors said," even if there is a box of jewelry, it''s not as good as ebony. ". Come on, why do we have to have the same opinion with those people who are just watching the sky? "


    Leisurely took Xu''s hand and walked out. As he walked, he said, "that''s right. It''s a disgrace to talk to these people. If you want me to say that my cousin shouldn''t talk to her, just find a servant girl to send her away. Well, if you don''t mention the disappointment, are you tired? Let''s go to dinner first. "


    The woman heard that leisurely looked down on herself. She was not angry. She was about to follow the theory with her arms open, but she was hugged by some strong women in the hall. She was about to get angry, but she was dragged to a single room by the women.


    Lady Zhong sent leisurely and his party out with a smile on her face. She was afraid that leisurely would get angry because of this person. Fortunately, leisurely didn''t say anything until she left. Lady Zhong wiped the cold sweat on her forehead and went back to the shop. When she heard the struggle from the single room, she sneered. Then he went straight to the room and winked at the women who were pressing her, and they let her go.

 Chapter 459

    That woman didn''t suppress, just jumped up, pointed to lady Zhong and scolded, "well, you widow Zhong, give you two faces, how dare you open Yan Fang? I don''t know who my aunts and grandmothers are. How dare they let me be attacked? I don''t want to work when I look at your position in charge! Look, I won''t let the second master drive you out of the shop. "


    With a sneer of indifference, lady Zhong said, "I advise you to take it easy, but you''ll be overjoyed if you get the second master''s favor. This shop is my private property. I can''t reach here. What''s more, even if the elder brother wants to give face to the second elder''s family, it is also to give face to the second grandmother. Which brand are you from? If I were you, I''d stop. I don''t even earn a decent aunt. I want to get involved in the personnel in this shop. It''s too much. "


    Then he called out to the two women, "come and send her back to the house. Tell the second master, don''t let her come to the shop. All the people here are dignified. She''s not a long-sighted lady, and she''s making trouble for you, isn''t she? "


    Dan Hong was very reluctant and wanted to scold, but when she saw that the two stout women on the side were not looking well, she touched the inside of her arm which was still in pain. Thinking of their means, she had to bear the evil spirit in her stomach and went out. Her little servant girl is waiting outside. Dan Hong has no place to vent her anger. She pinches her two little servant girls angrily. "Useless things, even your master can''t protect them. They can only eat dry food." All the way away.


    After she left, a servant girl next to her said anxiously, "I heard that this Danhong girl is in favor now, and even her second grandmother wants to stay away from her. Sister, if you offend her, will you cause trouble? "


    Lady Zhong said slightly, "no matter how much she is favored, she is only the second master''s person. We''ve got a head here, and her hand can''t come in yet. "


    They have no way to know what happened here. After they went out, they found that the rain had stopped for a while, and the noon sun was at its strongest. During this little meeting, the water stains on the street were almost dry.


    Leisurely, seeing that the road was paved with bluestone slabs, and there was not much soil after it was dry, he said with a smile, "people here say that there is a restaurant not far ahead with good food. Let''s walk directly."


    Xu''s first response was "OK, I''ve been on the boat for so many days, but I''m bored. It''s just right to move my legs like this." Other people naturally have no objection.


    It''s not far from Deshun winery that lady Zhong said. After a while, they arrived. Just now, some guys have come to book the elegant room. When they arrived, they went straight to the second floor.


    It''s close to Fujian. Besides the delicacy of Zhejiang cuisine, it''s also a bit light. It''s also located in the harbor with prosperous trade and mixed with some advantages of other cuisines. It''s a good combination of many cuisines.


    It''s not easy to have such an opportunity. Leisurely won''t be stingy with the money. He ordered several famous dishes and many local specialties recommended by the second child. In fact, she likes to try something new, so she orders nearly twenty dishes unconsciously.


    Seeing this, Xu first stopped and said, "there are too many of them. We are just a few people. It''s not a waste if we can''t finish eating too much."


    Leisurely smile back to the way "we are so easy to come back, can not taste a few more?"? In addition, there are many kinds of dishes, many of which are small dishes and snacks. In fact, there are not many hard dishes. What''s more, we can''t finish eating, and there are maids. We can''t waste them. "


    Xu knew that she had enough money, so he stopped her. After leisurely ordering the dishes, take out the jewelry box and put it on the table. "Thank you for opening your eyes for me just now, which made me angry. It''s better to take it back quickly, cousin. I always feel uneasy when I put it here. "


    Leisurely smile way "this thing originally is for cousin''s sister-in-law, return to do what?"


    Hearing this, Xu quickly waved his hand and said, "this can''t be used. This jewelry is very valuable. If the head of the family knows that I''ve received such a valuable thing as you, they can''t scold me to death after they go back. I know you''re generous, but our relatives don''t have to spend so much. " At this time, Tao Liang advised, "take it. My aunt picked a pair of hairpins for my mother. If my aunt doesn''t take it, my mother is embarrassed to take it."


    Leisurely teased her, "it''s OK. If your aunt and your mother don''t accept it, how about giving it to you?"


    Taoliang said with a smile, "that''s very kind. I''m saving my dowry. I can''t give you too much."


    The jade lotus sitting on the side quickly covers her mouth, "you smelly girl, what words also go to the outside. Whose girl is thinking about her dowry all the time? Thanks to the fact that there is no outsider here, otherwise, people will not laugh to death? "


    Tao Liang spits out his tongue. "Isn''t that what I said without outsiders? I''m straightforward. I want to tell you which girl who wants to go out of the cabinet doesn''t care about her dowry, but they all like to pretend to be clean and cheat? I can''t stand such affectations. "


    The jade lotus annoys a way "more say more and more vigorous, you don''t look up to others, others still don''t look up to you.". How old are you? How can you say "mother-in-law" in the future


    One side of leisurely busy advise way "well, elder sister why say she, I look at Tao Liang in the mind know.". I just like her cheerful disposition, which is much better than those who hum and don''t know what to say for a long time. "


    Xu also hastened to make ends meet. "That is to say, each flower enters each eye. Some like to be quiet, while others like to be refreshing. I like Tao Liang''s temperament. The girl in my family, I always think she is too dull. She only stays at home to read and be a girl. It''s very sad that she won''t even come out to have a look. "


    Jade lotus one face envies of way "the Fang elder sister son is more gentle and quiet, such disposition will only then be good in the future to say a marriage.". I''ll be content if my sister Fang is half as clever as I am. "


    Xu sighed, "I''m just worried that she''s quiet and her mouth isn''t sweet. When I go to her mother-in-law''s house in the future, won''t I let her be rubbed?"


    "How can I?" she said? It''s too late for people to love her. Who is willing to rub her? If you don''t worry, let''s go slowly and find her a family that knows the root and the bottom, and choose the one whose mother-in-law is gentle, won''t it


    Xu just laughed. "What my sister said is just right for me. You can''t help me to find it at that time."


    The jade lotus busy way "certainly, if have that suitable family, natural first tight we own child is not?"


    A group of people talked and laughed, and the awkward atmosphere just now diverged.

 Chapter 460

    After returning to the boat, Xu asked the little maid to hold the things she had bought and return to her room with the gold hairpin she had sent.


    Her daughter Fang was originally planting flowers in the house. When she saw Xu''s coming back, she rushed forward to meet her. Xu waved his hand, sat down on his seat and asked, "didn''t you say to go and play with Yuzhen? Why did you come back so early? " Then, without waiting for her answer, she said with a smile, "it''s a pity that you didn''t go this time. Your aunt gave me a pair of extremely valuable hairpins. You see Then he opened the box.


    Fang''s sister only felt that she was faced with pearls. Although she was always quiet, there were few girls who didn''t like them. Immediately also surprised praise way "is really gorgeous incomparable."


    Xu said with some regret, "if I say it''s a pity, if you go, your aunt will definitely buy you a gift. Such a good thing is to be used as a dowry in a few years. You see, there are so many peaches. They are so good that they have a whole set of white faces


    Fang''s sister pulled Xu''s sleeve. "Niang, what do you say? How bad it is for outsiders to hear


    Xu also realized that he had made some blunders. He immediately covered his mouth and said, "well, I won''t say it." Then, he excitedly pointed to the things on the table and said, "come on, look at these. How about this rose red DORO? The color is so festive, waiting for someone to make a coat for you. And this Enamel Jewelry box is just right for you


    Mother and daughter were talking when they heard a voice outside the door saying, "are you in there?"


    Listening to what seemed to be gan song''s voice, Xu responded quickly, "yes, come in."


    Then the door opened and the one standing outside was really Gan song. She walked in, saluted and said with a smile, "our grandmother just forgot to let you take Miss Yang''s gift, and specially asked me to send it to miss yang." Then he put a box in his hand on the table and said, "the things have been delivered. I have work to do when I go back. I will stay soon."


    Xu stood up early in the morning, personally took her to the door, "I know you are busy, I will not leave you, and come back to play when I have free time."


    When Gan song''s figure went away, Xu opened the box and saw a whole set of pearls inside. The craft is not so complicated. All of them are simple and generous. The rare thing is that the beads used are all round. The bead in the top hairpin is the size of longan.


    The mother and daughter were a little stunned, until Yang Lu and his son came back.


    Seeing Yang Lu, Xu Fang felt that he had the backbone. He took him by the hand and said, "master, come and have a look. This is just from my cousin. And the hairpins over there were given to me when I was visiting the Western shop this afternoon. I said no, she insisted. I came back and sent this set of pearls for our sister Fang. Isn''t it too expensive? "


    Yang Lu took a look, thought about it in his heart, and then said, "since it''s from my cousin, you can take it."


    Xu''s some uneasy asked, "you say, cousin why suddenly send us such valuable things?"


    Yang Lu touched his chin. "I don''t think it means anything else. It''s just a show of kindness. I guess she thinks that our family has been displaced from their hometown. It''s very difficult to follow her thousands of miles away. It''s just compensation. You just keep it


    Xu said with a smile, "we are willing to come. My cousin is too polite, which makes me feel very sorry."


    Hearing this, Yang Lu said in a deep voice, "my cousin has always been kind-hearted. How ever did she mistreat us these years? I''m afraid the situation in Fujian is extremely complicated. You all remember that no matter what happens, our family can''t rely on our cousins. None of you is allowed to commit treachery. " Both of the children responded respectfully. Xu Shi angry at him one eye, "OK, look at you fierce like that, our family''s children are so countless?"


    Over there, leisurely looking at some hesitant Yulian sitting opposite her, she asked, "what''s the matter with you? Why do you look like you have something on your mind? "


    Yulian took a look at the outer room and saw her daughter playing chess with Shen Xi. She lowered her voice and said, "what do you think of brother Ming?"


    Leisurely began not to respond, only nodded and echoed, "is a very good child ah, young temperament is very stable, not rash." As soon as his voice fell, he suddenly realized, "do you want to promise taoliang to him?"


    The jade lotus busily does not stack of nod, a pair of eyes bright bright of stare at leisurely.


    Seeing her like this, she joked leisurely, "you are a mother-in-law. The more you look at your son-in-law, the better you look at him, right? But Tao Liang has always been a big thinker. Why don''t you ask her? "


    Yulian said with a smile, "I just had this kind of meaning. What do you want her to do? Don''t do anything else. "


    In a leisurely low voice, "brother Ming is indeed a good child. Even his cousins and sisters in law know the general situation. You can watch in secret first. If the truth is true, I''ll find a chance to ask my cousins for you when I get to Fujian. It''s just that your concern is right. Don''t let the children know about it. Otherwise, if it doesn''t work, won''t it make the children sad for nothing? "


    "That''s not the reason," she said


    On the second day, the weather suddenly cleared up. The official ship sailed again, but it arrived at Rongcheng harbor on the next day.


    Shen Ze had already sent his boys and servants to wait here a few days ago. Leisurely, their boat was far away from the dock, so some servants went to inform Shen Ze to go quickly.


    Waiting for the official ship to slowly enter the port, leisurely when they get off the ship, Shen Ze has been waiting there.


    Although it''s only a few days, leisurely feels that it''s been a long time. At this meeting, she really realized the taste of "one day without seeing is like three autumn". Apart from many outsiders, leisurely and Shen Ze distant look at each other, full of worry are filled in the eyes.


    The next step was to go ashore by car, and the carriage stopped for half an hour. I changed the sedan chair and walked for a quarter of an hour before I got to the place. The maid lifted the curtain, and Shen Ze helped her out.


    He pointed to a courtyard in front of him and said, "we''ll live here in the future. Do you like it or not?"


    Different from the grand atmosphere of northern architecture, a small moonlit gate appears in front of leisurely eyes, through which several courtyards are scattered. At first glance, it is simple and quiet.


    She gave Shen Ze a little smile, "as long as the house can live, anyway, where you are, there is our home."

 Chapter 461

    Smell speech, Shen Ze smiles to clench her hand: "go, go to see our yard."


    Along the way, flowers and plants flourished, but there was no clutter. At a glance, it was the result of careful repair. The garden was bigger than leisurely imagined. It was 100 meters from the second gate to their courtyard gate. Shen Ze pointed to an empty tunnel in the garden and said, "don''t you like playing with flowers? I''ll leave that place to you, whatever you do. " Smell speech, leisurely feel in the heart very appropriate.


    Wait until the backyard, leisurely see the house clean and tidy inside and outside, the heart is very appropriate. Turn head to deep Ze to say "see to know is elaborately arranged, labor mutually public expense heart."


    Shen Ze is good at touching her hair. "I just told her a few words casually. All the work is done by my servants. But as long as you like it. " In order to meet his requirements, how those people were tossed back and forth by him, someone put it all in the back of his mind.


    After walking around the room, he said with a leisurely smile, "this room is much bigger than I thought. In the past, they all said that most of the houses in Fujian are small and dark, but now it''s a bit unexpected."


    Shen Ze laughs and shakes his head. "That''s what happened before. In recent decades, business has flourished in Fujian, and Rongcheng is an important harbor. The common people have enough money, so they will not be stingy on the house. The original owner of the house was a rich businessman, so naturally he was more willing to spend money. Look at the glass inlaid on the window. I heard that it was transported from the capital all the way. When I look at this craft, it''s probably something from the lady''s shop¡°


    Leisurely went to the window to take a closer look, and then said with a smile, "isn''t it? I can recognize this craft at a glance. It''s the craft of the glass workshop. This family is really willing to spend. Not to mention that the glass is very valuable, the cost of traveling from the capital to here is even more expensive than the glass. Is there no glass in Fujian? Do you have to go to the capital to buy it? "


    Shen Ze said with a faint smile, "that family just didn''t take silver seriously. All the children were extravagant and wasted, which eventually led to the fact that they couldn''t make ends meet. Later, he started the business of selling illegal salt. After being investigated and dealt with, the whole family was ransacked, and the house was bought by Mr. Jiang, the former political envoy. When I came here, I was just in time for Mr. Jiang''s full term of office. I was transferred to sell the house elsewhere, so I bought it


    "Ah? Did you buy it? I thought it was an official mansion. Is your government far from here? "


    Shen Ze said helplessly, "you forget that not long ago there were Japanese invaders attacking the city. The governor''s office was the most attacked, and the house was very dilapidated. Now the government is in a tight financial situation, so it has to look after the soldiers'' pay first. I paid for the house. "


    "My husband is really unselfish. I have enough confidence to live in my own house. Now, I don''t have any psychological burden to deal with. It''s just that this house is not cheap, is it? Xianggong, when did you save so much private money? " Leisurely smile asked. Although she never takes care of men too tightly, she can''t get down without tens of thousands of taels in such a big house. The income of the family is in her hands. Shen Ze has a little private house in his hand, which is only eight thousand at most. It''s not enough to buy such a big house. I don''t know where he got such a large sum of money.


    Although her tone is still soft, Shen Ze, who is familiar with leisurely temper, can''t recognize that this is the precursor of anger. He coughed twice and said with a dry smile, "don''t think about it. You just beat back the Japanese pirates and copied their nests. In addition, several officials and large families in this city were involved in it. Naturally, these people will also be copied. I just took my share. It''s not much. It''s only eighty thousand taels of silver. "


    Just now the servant girls knew that Ji didn''t follow in. The children went to see their yard. Now there are only two of them in the room.


    Hearing Shen Ze''s words, leisurely couldn''t help being surprised. She looked out and saw that there was no one else outside. Then she said in a low voice, "are you crazy? How can I take so much? Our family is not short of this silver. What if someone pokes us out? "


    Shen Ze quickly comforted him and said, "it''s not that serious. You can rest assured. There are few people who know about it, and they don''t take less than me. If you shake it out, who can do well? It''s all routine. Even if the leader knows it, he will turn a blind eye to it. " Leisurely still worried about the way, "that person was dissatisfied with our family, I''m afraid he will deliberately make a mountain out of a molehill."


    Shen Ze had already thought about the consequences of this matter for a long time. He didn''t care much and said, "don''t worry. Now when he''s still using me, he won''t do anything about us for the moment. Besides, there are some things that we can''t compromise. If he wants to deal with us, he still needs to collect evidence? It''s a disaster to put a crime in our family at will. " Speaking of the end, Shen Ze can''t help sighing. He stroked leisurely''s shoulder and said, "you don''t have to worry about these things. I''ve got a sense of propriety."


    Then he said with a smile, "by the way, it cost about 40000 taels of silver to buy the house and utensils. I''ve already sent someone to pick up the remaining banknotes, and there are also some boxes of things. You can just put them away when they are delivered."


    Leisurely a little disappointed "how are you going out?"


    Shen Ze pinched her face. "Yes, I have to go to the barracks this afternoon. In the last few battles, many soldiers were seriously injured. I go to see them from time to time to appease them and save the doctors for a long time to wait for them. "


    It has always been the case that "once a general has achieved success, ten thousand bones will wither.". It''s just that the leaders always only care about their own promotion and wealth, but they forget these soldiers who are really bleeding and sweating. Xianggong, you''ve done the right thing. If there''s anything I can do for you, just let me know. "


    "I know that my wife is the most righteous, but don''t worry. This time, I''ll watch myself. The silver for the soldiers'' recovery and the silver for the families of the soldiers who died in the war are enough. My soldiers will never let them be wronged for defending their country. " Shen Ze said firmly.


    Leisurely admiration said, "Xianggong, you are such a real man of indomitable."


    Hearing his wife''s praise, Shen Ze couldn''t help laughing bitterly. In a trance, he remembered that when he was young, he was still ignorant. When he was young, he followed his uncle to visit the wounded soldiers. That''s what his uncle said. These words are deeply imprinted in his mind, and have been firmly remembered since he joined the army.


    Now he has become a commander-in-chief, but the old man who took him to follow the instructions has been buried in the ground.


    Shen Ze closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened them again, his eyes were firm and incomparable. There was always a day to avenge this hatred.

 Chapter 462

    Shen zegang was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly remembered something, and then said to leisurely, "when I first came here, my colleagues sent many servants over. There are many things in the army, and I haven''t taken care of them all the time. You can take care of them yourself. If you don''t like it, you can just let it go. You don''t have to worry about who will lose face. "


    After seeing off Shen Ze, leisurely Fang Fen instructs his servants to come in and clean up the house. The usual daily utensils and ornaments are put on one by one, and the bed curtain and cushion are replaced with the ones leisurely always likes.


    Even though there is a place for bathing on the ship, the fresh water on the ship is limited, which is not as cheap as on land. Now leisurely down, leisurely only feel uncomfortable. She said to Gan song, "go to the kitchen. Have they prepared hot water? If they don''t, let them burn some and send it to me. "


    At this time, the little servant girl fennel said, "this idea is a little thing. Why should sister Gansong go there in person? I''ll just go there."


    This fennel was originally used in the yard, but it was just upgraded to the third grade before leaving Beijing. Now it''s time to concentrate on performance.


    Leisurely smile echoed, "well, this message was originally your job, but I summoned the wrong person. In that case, you can go. By the way, I want some water to come over and make tea. "


    Fennel crisp agreed to come down, find out the water with the big copper pot neatly left.


    But said fennel from the main hospital, first to find someone to ask the location of the kitchen, and then went straight. Who knows, after going to the kitchen, there was no one inside. Fennel yelled for a long time, but no one answered. I couldn''t help but be angry.


    But she was not willing to go back like this. After a tour, she finally found a water tank and a big boiler to boil water. There''s water in the boiler, but it''s only a little bit warm when you touch it. The fennel goes out when it sees that some firewood in the stove is half burnt. It''s obvious that people leave before it''s finished. As soon as she looked for the fold to light the firewood, she heard a voice saying, "Oh, girl fennel, why did you start the fire yourself?"


    It was Mrs. Liu who was in the kitchen when she was in Beijing. She looked around and said, "why, there is no one here. I just put away my luggage and thought it was almost lunch time. I was ready to come and give a hand. Doesn''t that mean there''s a cook here? "


    Fennel shook his head and said, "who knows? When I came here, there was no one. Look at the cold pot and stove here. There was no hot water. There was no meat or vegetable. It was like preparing lunch? It was my wife who sent me here because she wanted to have a hot bath. Look at this, I''m afraid someone is going to attack us. "


    When Mrs. Liu saw that fennel picked up another stick and threw it into the stove, she quickly pulled her up and said, "even if they want to do us a disservice, there''s no need for girls to do such rough work. You should have a rest and I''ll do it."


    Fennel stood up and said, "well, madam wants me to take some water to make tea. I''ll go to reply to her first. When the hot water is ready, mother will find two women to carry it to the main courtyard. "


    Then he took the big copper pot and filled it with clean water and walked away.


    When she got back to the yard, another clove, who was carrying the third class with fennel, just saw it. She quickly stepped forward and took the copper pot from her hand. She said, "Why are you so stupid? Don''t you call a woman from the kitchen? Do you have to carry such a heavy pot yourself


    Fennel chuckled, "I''m still looking for someone. When I went, there wasn''t even a gasp in the kitchen. I don''t know where all the original people in this house have gone? If it wasn''t for mother Liu''s rush to help me burn hot water, I would not have been able to lift the water. "


    Clove tongue "how can this be ah?"


    Fennel''s words happened to be heard by Su He. She frowned and asked, "what you said is true?" Fennel quickly stretched out his hand and swore, "if I tell a lie, I will be struck by God." Su he said angrily, "OK, what is Hu Qin in front of the master? Let''s go. You come with me to see my wife


    After listening to lilac''s retelling leisurely, he could not help but smile, "no wonder I was asked to take care of it before my uncle left. It turned out that these people who were sent to our house were not servants, they were all uncles."


    Then he said, "go and see where the housekeeper is and invite him."


    The stove, teapot and Silver Charcoal she used to make tea were all in the box she took with her. The maids soon made the tea and sent it.


    Leisurely sipping tea, a cup of tea will be finished, housekeeper also just came.


    Although it''s late autumn, the climate in Fujian is already hot and humid, and the housekeeper has been busy for a long time. Now he is sweating. Although he was old and had not so many men and women''s defenses, he stopped at the door and said with some embarrassment, "if the slave is dirty, he won''t go into Grandma''s house. What''s the lady''s order?"


    Seeing this, leisurely asked, "isn''t the front yard not stable? Did those people trip you? "


    The housekeeper wiped the sweat on his forehead. "My wife is wise and anticipates everything like a God."


    Leisurely chuckled, "what is my wisdom? It''s all down to my hostess. I''m still smart! "


    This made the housekeeper even more ashamed, "they are all small incompetent, can''t control them, let Grandma be wronged."


    Smell speech, leisurely pacify him way "not you are incompetent, is some hand stretch too long.". I haven''t been beaten in the face like this since I got married and took over the charge of the Shen family. " Then he asked in a deep voice, "the soldiers who sent us haven''t left, have they?"


    The housekeeper replied quickly, "as you said, these people have been working hard and have given them three days off. The slave had the honor to invite them to lunch before they left


    Leisurely replied, "you are very worried that if we were not escorted by them all the way, we would not be so safe even as official ships. But I''m afraid the big kitchen can''t make this lunch. They haven''t prepared our food at all. "


    "Well, I only care about the affairs ahead. I haven''t had time to go to the kitchen to check. How can I be good now?" Housekeeper also smacks his tongue. Are these people making too much noise?


    Leisurely said with a smile, "is it possible for living people to starve to death? You immediately send a few competent managers to take people outside to find some big restaurants, and let them do the first-class dinner to send them. The family members all went back to their own homes. There were only more than 30 of us, and the soldiers were no more than 100 people. They called for ten tables to get together today''s lunch first. The soldiers, in particular, must be well served with good food and good wine. After lunch, I have something else to ask for their help. "


    The housekeeper quickly agreed to go, but Grandma only said about them. As for those people in the original house, ha ha, grandma didn''t mention it, and he just didn''t remember it.


    After the housekeeper left, leisurely narrowed her eyes and sneered that she didn''t like the nails sent by others. The way these people did just gave her a reason to do it. I''m afraid I''ve miscalculated if I want to give her a bad impression!

 Chapter 463

    The housekeeper was leisurely after the command, immediately went to the front yard. He also didn''t find the guy in charge who came with him. It''s the first time for these people to come to Rongcheng. For a while and a half, where can I find a restaurant? But the soldiers were all Shen Ze''s private soldiers. Some of them had come to Fujian with Shen Ze. Therefore, the housekeeper went directly to Chen Qianhu, their leader.


    Chen Qianhu said, "it''s all a small matter. Our brothers haven''t eaten anything. It''s good to have a full stomach. Just eat some soy sauce or something."


    The housekeeper said with a smile, "this can''t be done, madam. But she told me that I can''t wait for you. After lunch, she still has something to help you."


    The intelligence quotient of those who can make a thousand households is not too low. After hearing this, he said, "I''m confused. Naturally, we big soldiers can eat anything, but women''s families in the backyard can''t suffer like this. Well, I''ll take someone to do it myself. Don''t worry. I came here a few years ago, and I know a few clean restaurants. I''m going to have dinner with my brothers. "


    The housekeeper said with a smile, "I''ll bother you." Then he handed over a purse and said, "this big noon, you can''t let the brothers run and put money on their legs. The rest is to buy the brothers a drink. "


    Chen Qianhu padded a purse and patted the Housekeeper on the shoulder. "Brother, you''re welcome. To tell you the truth, we really don''t have so much cash, so I''ll accept it." Finish saying, ordered a few soldiers at will, then walked with a big stride meteor.


    On the other side, you ran has learned the origin of these servants from his family. The governor of Fujian sent the most people. There were 13 people in three rooms. One of them has been in charge of the affairs of the house these days. In addition, the deputy general Xin''s family sent two cooks and several small servant girls. Finally, the commander Yang''s family sent four big servant girls. It''s just a little servant girl. What''s the big servant girl doing? It''s easy for people to see.


    The little boy was a little depressed and said, "although these people used to be arrogant, they did all the work they should do. Before going to the Yamen this morning, my uncle came here specially and praised them for cleaning the yard. But when grandma came, she couldn''t afford to be ill. "


    Leisurely heart sneer, it''s not a plague, who''s the next group of people sick? However, some people thought that her new arrival was not good, and all of Shen Ze''s colleagues were offended, so they tried her depth. These servants just rely on the power of the old lord or simply accept the orders of the old lord, but the root is not on them. Thinking of what Shen Ze said, it has been three or four months since the imperial edict was issued and the Yamen of the general army arrived leisurely. Let alone renovate it, even a new house can be built.


    Originally, leisurely thought that Shen Ze''s words before he left were just random instructions. Now, it seems that he is also constrained in the army. There are three fires when a new official takes office. Since Shen Ze is not good at some things, let her light the fire first.


    Chen Qianhu''s action is very sharp. After taking a bath and changing clothes, the hall is already full of tables and mats. Leisurely let people to Shen Xi and Yulian, Xu and others called over, together with a hot lunch. Not to mention that the food in this restaurant is really good. Although it''s a long way to go and it''s taken some time to deliver it, they just eat it warm, but it''s still delicious.


    Leisurely treat servants has always been generous, although the table set for servant girls and maids is not as good as they eat, but it is also a table of two liang silver. People are very happy to eat.


    They are satisfied to eat here, but those people on the other side can''t sit still. In particular, Zhang Guanshi, who has been acting as the leader in the company, is even more puzzled. They should not, because of this point, urge people to go shopping and cook? Are these people not hungry?


    Another steward Liu, seeing that things were not right, said to him, "it seems that things are not good. Even if Shen Zongbing''s wife is really as humble and insightful as elder brother said, she has been Gaoming''s wife for so many years. How can she have no ideas and means?" Zhang Guanshi stares at him, "even if there are means, what? My wife is the head of the county. Now even if she is Gaoming''s wife, she can''t hide the fact that she is humble. She used to serve tea to our wife when she was a servant girl, but now she dares to take our wife''s strength? "


    After hearing this, manager Liu said with a quick smile, "yes, yes, I''m worried too much." Although the mouth said so, but a little beat drum in the heart, can''t help but call a little guy back to inquire about the news. But the little guy was blocked and tied up before he walked two steps out of the yard. Besides him, others who were sent out to inquire about the situation were also tied up. This is also the reason why they have not got the exact information.


    They just think that the people at the bottom are playful, but they don''t think deeply. When they were all tied up by Chen Zongbing, who had enough to eat and drink, and the soldiers at the bottom, Zhang Guanshi was still doing the spring and autumn dream of sending people to bow their heads to show their love!


    Steward Zhang didn''t expect that leisurely would be so tough, still struggling there. "My wife is the granddaughter of the late emperor, and the head of the county. You dare to treat me like this, but you don''t give our wife face, and you don''t give our clan face."


    Before the words were heard, Chen Zongbing spat on the leader, "who are you fooling here? It''s just a servant. How dare you drag it to the imperial clan? I''m not afraid of the wind! You are just bluffing the local people who don''t know the details. If you have the ability, you can go outside the Forbidden City and yell. Don''t say it''s you. Even when your master arrives in the capital, he has to be a man. I don''t know


    Leisurely called his housekeeper in the past, Haosheng told him a few words, but the housekeeper hesitated and said, "if we are like this, will we be too ruthless? You will have to deal with them in the future."


    Leisurely don''t care about smile "I don''t want to just come and they make like water and fire, but you see, if I retreat today, I''m afraid this banyan city won''t have my foothold in the future. Just do as I tell you. I''ll take care of everything. "


    When the housekeeper saw that leisurely had made up his mind, he had to act according to his words.


    In the backyard of the governor''s office, the governor''s wife is also Shujing. The county leader just woke up for a nap, and the maid took jasmine tea to gargle her. As she wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, she casually said, "I don''t know what happened to Zhang Gui."


    The big servant girl, who was waiting on one side, quickly complimented that "Zhang is always reliable in handling affairs, and will not let his wife down."


    Shujing said, "I hope so." Then he snorted coldly, "I think that Shen Lin used to be just a little servant girl. When I went to Shen''s house as a guest, she served me tea. Now she''s even higher than me. Is it hard for me to make her a little girl?"

 Chapter 464

    When Shujing is waiting for the good news of Zhang Gui''s success, a servant girl comes back and says, "madam, it''s not good. They are sent back by all sorts of ties."


    On hearing this, Shujing stood up and said, "what? That''s ridiculous. "


    She angrily took people to the front courtyard flower hall, saw Zhang Gui several were blocked mouth on the ground, the situation is particularly embarrassed. Shujing felt that a stream of anger was burning from the sole of her feet to the top of her head, and she was about to spray out.


    But he didn''t want Shen Guan to send someone in advance to please his wife. These servants neglect their duties, leave their posts without permission, deceive their superiors and subordinates, pass inferior goods on their behalf, and even incite the servants and wives to pretend to be ill and strike together. Our wife came all the way home, even without a cup of hot tea and a piece of hot rice. She was very upset. If you want to deal with them, they keep saying that they are the servants of the governor''s family. Our wife doesn''t have their deed of sale, so it''s not easy to deal with them. Send the small ones back. What''s more, they even talked about you in their words. My wife said, "my wife is the head of the county. She has been righteous, dignified and virtuous since she was a child. She certainly won''t tolerate such incongruous things. It must be the nonsense of these slaves."


    The words were crisp and clear. Shu Jing was a little angry, but she was speechless for a moment. She wanted to stir up three points without reason, but Shen Guanshi didn''t give her this opportunity. She said with a smile, "I heard that governor Luo''s term of office is coming. My wife estimates that you must go back to Beijing with Lord Luo to report your work. I don''t know you will meet again in the future, so I want to take advantage of these days to get close to you."


    Shujing is waiting for a cold refusal, suddenly in a hurry, a woman whispered a few words in her ear, Shujing stay for a while, finally still pressed down the chest unwilling, not cold not light said "in this case, then I''ll wait for your post."


    Then looking at Zhang Gui on the ground, he gritted his teeth and said, "these unsightly slaves, I just kindly asked them to go to the house to help for two days. Who would have thought that they were so unbearable? They really failed my original intention and added obstacles to Mrs. Shen. Go back and tell Mrs. Shen that I will teach them a lesson. Please forgive me. "


    Then he ordered people to send Shen Guanshi and his friends out.


    As soon as the Shen family left, Shu Jing didn''t look at the people on the ground. She went straight through the crowd to the flower hall. She saw a man in a brocade robe sitting in the flower hall at some time.


    Shu Jing frowned and asked, "why don''t you let me teach the servants of the Shen family a lesson? A few days ago, didn''t you ask me to give them some color?"


    This man is the governor of Fujian, Lord Luo.


    Lord Luo sighed, "I was also blinded by my aunt''s letter. My aunt didn''t know what she had suffered in the Shen family. She had to fight against them. I can''t help but feel sorry for my aunt. As a result, my mother''s letter later said that we should not be fooling around with my uncle''s family. She also said that the situation in Beijing is complicated now, so we should do more things than less, and be safe and stable. I didn''t quite understand, so I wrote to my friends in Beijing and asked them. "


    Mrs. Luo sneered, "your so-called good friend in Beijing is not the fourth of the Song family, right? He''s just a dandy. What can he know? "


    Lord Luo coughed a little uneasily and said, "a dandy is useful for a dandy. In the letter, he scolded our aunt Haosheng, saying that his aunt encouraged the eldest princess to do something disrespectful to the Shen family, which caused him to bump into the noble. Fortunately, the other party was generous and didn''t have the same understanding with him, or maybe he had to take his life. Later, when the princess came into the palace to invite her, she was also asked a few words by the Empress Dowager. Finally, he specially mentioned that you should not be fooled by your aunt to do anything harmful to the Shen family. He said that even if the empress is ill now, there are still the eldest prince and the eldest princess. As long as these two do not fall, the Shen family will not fall for a while. Shen Ze''s wife is only Han Shangshu''s adopted daughter, but her status in the Han family is similar to that of her own daughter. He just salivated for Mrs. Shen''s shop, and Han Jin Haosheng cleaned it up. So he told me never to do anything stupid. " Hearing the speech, Mrs. Luo gritted her teeth and said, "it''s me who is reckless, and I look at people with old eyes. No wonder the servants of the Shen family only warned us when they told us about your return to Beijing to report on your work? "


    Lord Luo sighed, "it''s not your fault. I misjudged the situation in Beijing."


    Not to mention that the Luo family discussed how to make an apology to the Shen family, they leisurely sent away those servants who were in the way of the eyes. Fang took the servant girls with him to install the utensils. Some things that didn''t agree with him always had to be slightly changed.


    The next morning, the porter sent a post over there and opened it leisurely. It turned out to be a post from the Zhao family of Dingnan uncle. Thinking that Ding Nanbo died on duty, she quickly received the visitors from the Zhao family in person.


    This is a woman of some years old. Leisurely, as soon as you see her, you know that you have to use it in front of the master. "Mrs. Bo is so polite," she said with a smile. "It''s reasonable that our family should pay a visit first."


    The old lady quickly said, "our wife said that your family has come all the way. It''s our master''s visit, but our family is still in the period of filial piety. The masters are not allowed to go out at will. I wish my wife didn''t dislike our family''s bad luck. "


    Leisurely don''t care about smile "Mrs. Bo is really too careful, horizontal and vertical has passed the filial piety, there is no taboo.". Go back and thank you for me, madam. I will visit you in person some other day. "


    The old lady replied with a smile, "when I go back, I will tell my wife, and she will welcome me."


    Two or three generations of dingnanbo''s family have been defending the frontier in Fujian, and their foundation here is very deep. Even if dingnanbo died in his duty, their family''s influence in this place is very huge. As soon as the people of the Zhao family left in front of them, the congratulatory gifts from the local officials, gentry and businessmen were sent to the door.


    Although she didn''t need to receive them in person one by one, she was still in a hurry for a long time before she was able to settle down.


    Leisurely early in the morning let people send a post to each family, set in 20 days banquet guests.


    Although it''s winter, the temperature here is still warm. In the past 20 years, the public has been making great efforts to sweep away the haze of the past few days and create a clear sky. Not to mention the Shen family, even many of the guests who are going to the banquet are secretly amazed. Mrs. Shen is really good at choosing the day. God will give her more face.


    It is leisurely oneself, looking at the blue sky outside, smelling the fragrance of flowers in the air, also feel that all these are good omens.

 Chapter 465

    In fact, this day is not deliberately chosen, but just by Shen Ze''s holiday. After all, for the first time in their family, Shen Ze''s colleagues and Rongcheng''s officials always have to have a banquet together.


    The world is often bullied, afraid of hard, leisurely a few days ago, so a pass, let those who want to give them a hard nail. The public would not dare to provoke his family again. After all, Shen Ze''s position is there. If it really annoys him, no one will get a good job, will it?


    Therefore, on the day of the banquet, everyone came early with heavy gifts, and the greetings were full of laughter. In particular, the wives of the Xin and Yang families were more careful in their conversation. Just leisurely did not mention this stubble, there are many people watching, two people did not mention it.


    Leisurely face does not show, but the heart is to look at the two. Mrs. Yang is just that. She looks ordinary. She looks about the same age as Mrs. Xin in her thirties. It''s said that she is not very popular at ordinary times, but commander Yang is a lecherous woman. She has no idea what she says at home.


    Although Mrs. Xin is old, she is well maintained. She has a pair of Danfeng eyes. She looks at them in a leisurely way, but it''s not good.


    As soon as they were welcomed in, they were surrounded by a group of servant women and two sedan chairs.


    Looking at the battle, leisurely speculated that it was the governor''s wife.


    Sure enough, the lady who came down was not Shujing?


    Before leisurely choosing her expression, Shu Jing came forward with a smile on her face. "I haven''t seen her for many years. Sister Lin''s demeanor is better than before. If I didn''t meet here, I would not dare to recognize her."


    Sister? I make complaints about you.


    Although as the saying goes, "you don''t smile when you reach out," people are so enthusiastic. It''s not too cool to be leisurely. It''s just that she''s a little embarrassed by each other''s actions. She only says with a smile, "you''re welcome, madam. You''re the head of Shujing county. What''s my family background? I dare not be your sister


    After hearing this, Shujing was not upset. She still said with a smile, "I know. My sister must be upset about the day before yesterday. It''s really my fault. Originally, I thought that there would be many inconveniences when my sister''s family first arrived, so I sent two servants to help. But I didn''t expect that these people didn''t help, instead, they brought a lot of trouble to my sister''s family. It''s really hateful. Don''t worry, elder sister. I''ve severely punished these slaves. I dare not add obstacles to my elder sister on such a good day today. I''ll make them kowtow and make amends to my elder sister another day. "


    Leisurely didn''t want to do more involvement in this matter, so she said with a smile, "madam, you''re welcome. It''s just a small matter. It''s not worth the publicity. Now that the county leader has punished them, it''s over."


    Shujing said with a smile, "I know that my sister is the most generous person. We are worried for nothing."


    According to Shu Jing''s original intention, even if she wants to apologize, she won''t put her posture so low, but she can''t stand her husband''s sincere request. In recent days, the old friends in Beijing who were asked by their husbands to inquire about the news sent back letters one after another, saying that they should not fight against the Shen family at will. Not to mention that there is a prince and a princess in the Shen family. Even queen Shen is not a vegetarian. It''s not sure what the future will be. This is not, a few days ago in the palace "sick" empress has recovered from the palace, back in charge of the palace?


    Hear this news, Shu Jing is no longer willing to have no way. The royal family always refers to the marriage of the children of the imperial family. Although they can say hello in private, her biological mother died early, and her stepmother is eager to see the jokes of her sister and brother. If she offends the Queen''s family, how can she be right to her mother who gets up early?


    Think of here, Shu Jing also has a lot of regret, that day should not be encouraged to do such a thing. Even if it''s done, how big a face do you have when you hurt each other''s face? Without any trace, she glanced at the back of Mrs. Xin''s head and sneered at the old lady. When she had something to do, she would only encourage others to come out and make rafts, but often she would hide behind and pick up the bargains. I was careless this time. She instigated me. One day, she will find this place. For Shujing sudden enthusiasm leisurely quite some not adapt, she can not believe each other''s mouth nonsense. If you really owe something, there should have been some movement. You have to wait until today to say this. Either you are putting on airs or something happened.


    The current environment also can''t tolerate leisurely deep thinking, she just a little thought, will focus on entertaining the female dependents.


    The banquets between the women''s family members are just those of clothing style, powder and jewelry. Leisurely because of today''s banquet, specially dressed up for a while, and also with everyone in quite sweet mouth, but praised her from the beginning to the end.


    Even Shen Xi on one side has not been ignored. Leisurely, his face has become much thicker over the years. Shen Xi is almost ready to get hot, and his face has become red when he is praised by many ladies. At last, leisurely saw that it was really a little too much, so he helped her out and said, "well, you don''t want to praise her any more. She''s young and thin skinned. If you''re ashamed of her, I''ll feel sorry for her. "


    So everyone began to praise leisurely. One said that she was "sister-in-law" and the other said that she was "virtuous and virtuous". In a word, leisurely thought that she was really a model of women''s morality for a moment.


    One side of Shujing can''t come forward to flatter, she is looking at all this coldly. When people praise leisurely, Shujing wants to say leisurely hypocrisy in her heart. But seeing Shen Xi''s whole body style and his dependence on his elder sister-in-law, he couldn''t scold him. The head of clothes can be temporarily worn to fill the scene, but the kind of dignified and generous calm between speech and behavior can''t be put on for a while.


    Even in Shujing''s critical eyes, Shen Xi''s words and deeds are impeccable at her age. As soon as she came, many of the girls in Rongcheng would be eclipsed.


    Then, Shu Jing secretly looked at the faces of Xin''s mother and daughter. After all, Mrs. Xin''s city is so deep that she is stable. From time to time, she praises Shen Xi with the people around her. Miss Xin did not have her mother''s city. Although she was forced to smile, her smile was worse than crying, especially the jealousy in her eyes.


    In fact, it''s not just miss Xin. Many girls are not angry and can''t help looking at Shen Xi''s clothes. The main reason is that Shen Xi''s clothes are really outstanding today.

 Chapter 466

    What Shen Xi is wearing today is not a new set of jewelry, but a set of white jade inlaid with tourmaline decorated with emerald head that Shen Tian appreciated on his birthday the year before last.


    Today, all those who come here are women who have some insight. No matter how precious the white jade and the tourmaline are, they have all seen them before. Because the emperor Taizu of that dynasty despised this craft for being too cruel, he banned it and then developed the technique of burning blue. Nowadays, there is no craftsman in Dakang who can handle Diancui. Most of the common Diancui ornaments on the market are left behind by the previous dynasties, and few of them are high-quality products.


    Shen Xi Dai''s set is exquisite in workmanship and exquisite in materials. At first glance, it is a fine one. Let alone Xin''s mother and daughter, there are only a few pairs of green hairpins in Shujing''s dowry. Such a complete set of headgear can''t be taken out.


    Shu Jing is also a bachelor, and directly asks, "Miss Shen''s head work is so exquisite that it''s from the official family. I don''t know where it comes from?"


    Shen Xi had a leisurely look at it, and his mind was collected. He calmly replied, "this was given by the empress when I was 15 years old the year before last. It was originally from the palace of the former dynasty. It was given to the empress by the Empress Dowager. I was lucky to know that."


    Wen Yan, Shu Jing Xin next tight, such jewelry must be very precious, had been received in the palace of the previous dynasty. It seems that the Shen Ze family is really valued by Queen Shen.


    Some of them are from a slightly worse family. Let alone seeing them, they have never heard of Diancui craft. They are not interested in the jewelry made of bird feathers. What they care about is that it is the Queen''s reward. What does it mean? It shows that the queen is Shen Xi''s younger sister, and her relationship should be good, or she won''t be given a birthday gift.


    At that moment, someone began to calculate. It was said that the Shen girl had no husband''s family, and I didn''t know whether her son would win the favor of the Shen girl. Many people have calculated that they should let their son come around the Shen family in the future. Maybe they can have any adventures.


    So, just a few days after the party, leisurely heard from the housekeeper that there were many strangers around the house recently. Leisurely still thinks that someone else''s family has sent him to inquire about their family. Disgusted, he directly asks Shen Ze to send a team of soldiers to drive them out twice, and the family is quiet.


    Of course, it''s all later. It''s still at the banquet. After listening to Shen Xi''s reply, Shu Jing immediately said with a smile, "I see that the craftsmanship is so exquisite. I guess it''s something in the palace of the former dynasty. The empress loves you so much. I''m afraid there are not many of them left in the palace. I''ll give you a whole set. "


    Shen Xi replied with a smile, "because it happens to be the hairpin ceremony, the reward given by the empress is a little heavier than the usual birthday. It''s said that the Empress Dowager gave you a set of gold silk inlaid with jade inlaid with precious peony, Luan and bird patterns when she came out of the pavilion


    Wen Yan, Shu Jing a stagnation, and then said with a smile, "did not expect such a long thing, Miss Shen also know."


    Shen Xi seemingly inadvertently replied, "the things in the palace are not what I can know, but a few days ago, Princess Shujia took charge of part of the palace affairs on her behalf. When she looked at the palace archives, she wrote it down. Later, knowing that our family was coming to Rongcheng, she told me that it was this set of headgear. She looked at the style very chic, and asked the interior government to make a similar set. "


    Shujing didn''t want to understand the meaning of the head for a moment, so she had to say, "it''s also my honor to be liked by the eldest princess. In fact, why bother like this? If I had known that the princess liked it, I would have dedicated my set to the princess to save more effort. "


    Shen Xi said with a smile, "even if the princess doesn''t give orders, the house will make a new face for the princess every month. The princess herself ordered the pattern, and the one over there was more economical. However, the princess was just on the spur of the moment. She only looked at her face and didn''t wear it once. I said with a smile that if she didn''t wear it, wouldn''t she waste so many pearls and gemstones? Guess what the princess said


    Shu Jing is more puzzled. She really doesn''t know what medicine Shen Xi sells in his gourd. Long winded for a long time, can''t you just show off her intimate relationship with the eldest princess? Seeing her like this, Shen Xi didn''t care about it any more, and directly replied, "the princess said, I heard that the county master''s mother still has a brother who is not married. When the time comes, the palace will reward the bride, and then give this set of jewelry to your brother-in-law. Isn''t it a good thing for your sister-in-law to wear the same head?"


    Sure enough, what she expected was right. Shujing sighed in her heart. After turning so many corners, she was just reminding her mother''s brother of her marriage!


    Seeing each other''s smile, Shujing can''t help but look at Shen Xi''s leisurely smile. This man teaches his sister-in-law so much that her own city is even more unfathomable. Think is also, no two brushes can boil from a servant girl to two grade Gao life? Not to mention the elder sister of the number one scholar, the elder sister of the emperor, she was miserable! Shujing can''t help but be annoyed. She is really a lard. She has nothing to do with it. Well, I''m threatened by others!


    However, Shujing had some city officials in the end. Although she was annoyed, she pretended to have nothing to do with her face. She said with a smile, "that''s very kind. In the future, it''s really like what Shen''s sister said. That''s a great honor for my mother''s family. If it does, then I''ll give my sister a big gift. "


    Without waiting for Shen Xi to answer, Shu Jing said with a smile, "I didn''t wear that set of headgear today, but looking at the headgear that my sister-in-law wears is very similar to my set of craftsmanship."


    Shen Xi was still a little immature. She immediately changed the topic with her. "Yes, the Empress Dowager rewarded her sister-in-law''s face, and it''s also the craftsmanship of the house of internal affairs. They are all made of silk inlaid with treasures, but the patterns are different."


    Shu Jing praised that "such a smart orchid pattern is lining Lin''s elder sister''s elegant temperament." As soon as she opened her mouth, a slightly lower grade Gaoming naturally welcomed her.


    Leisurely felt that he couldn''t hold on any longer, so he quickly brought disaster to the East and said, "you are so ridiculous. How can I be so outstanding as you said? But it''s true that this face has added some luster to me. By the way, speaking of this, it''s said that Mrs. Xin''s family has opened a silver building, which is famous in Fujian. The headgear Mrs. Xin is wearing today is exquisite. Is it from your own silver house


    Hearing that the topic finally shifted to herself, Mrs. Xin was satisfied that she didn''t waste her time in order to attend today''s banquet.

 Chapter 467

    Hearing leisurely words, everyone really put their eyes on Mrs. Xin''s head. Different from the luxurious and complicated craftsmanship in the palace, the craftsmanship in Fujian is more flexible and meticulous, which is also more in line with the local people''s aesthetic standards. Everyone praises it together.


    With a modest smile, Mrs. Xin said to leisurely, "I''m an old woman, and I don''t have much to dress up for. Fortunately, I opened a silver house at home, and I didn''t lack these, so I chose one at will. "


    Leisurely praise way "Madam picked a suit at will, so exquisite, the thing in that shop is not more brilliant?"? I don''t know what''s the name of my wife''s silver house. I''ll go and have a look some other day. "


    Hearing this, the smile on Mrs. Xin''s face deepened a little, and she eagerly replied, "my silver building is a bit thin in Rongcheng, it''s called Jinfu building. If madam is in the past, just give me my name and promise me a favorable price. " Seems to be aware of leisurely or a potential big customer, Mrs. Xin''s expression is more sincere than before.


    Leisurely back to the road, "there will be time to pass."


    Dingnan uncle''s family can''t keep filial piety. Shujing and Mrs. Xin are the two most important female dependents in Fujian officialdom. Both of them try their best to show their love to leisurely, so others will not ask for nothing. On the other side of the front yard, Lord Luo is a civil servant. They can be said that the well water does not violate the river water. There is no need to compete with Shen Ze in terms of position and other aspects. Although deputy general Xin is unwilling, Shen Ze has won the support of Dingnan Bofu. In a short period of time, he has firmly grasped the military power here. If he is not willing, he has to bow down for a while.


    As a result, the banquet finally ended safely.


    In the evening, leisurely and Shen Ze talk about the day, quite a little doubt, "Mrs. Xin pour just, that politeness is just pretend.". But Mrs. Luo is a little hard for me to see through. Today, I saw my elder sister and cried out. If she hadn''t been married long ago, I almost thought that she had something to think of you! "


    Hearing this, Shen Ze said with a smile, "what do you think? Mrs. Luo is the head of the clan county. She has a high vision. How can she look at me, such a rude man with no family background? "


    Leisurely said with a smile, "why don''t you have any family, plus the 40000 taels you gave me two days ago, our family has more than 100000 taels of silver now. The main reason is that it cost more to buy and repair houses in the past two years, or there would be more cash left. Now that you have a house, land and silver, who can''t look up to it? "


    Shen Ze said with a wry smile, "it''s mainly thanks to my wife''s hard work in recent years that I can help my husband buy these industries. My husband is far worse than my wife here."


    Leisurely angry smile way "that is of course, can marry me, but you are a great blessing."


    Shen Ze held her in his arms and said with a smile, "of course, I must have accumulated merits for several generations to marry you." Leisurely by he coax of some dizzy, early Shu Jing what to throw aside.


    It''s said that beauty is wrong for people. In fact, well, sometimes men are wrong for people


    The next day, leisurely thought of a business, while Shen Ze has not gone out to discuss with him, "Dingnan uncle''s family not only sent us gifts, but also helped you a lot. According to reason, our two families had no contact before, and we had no common relatives. How can his family help us so much?"


    Shen Ze nodded at her nose with a smile and said, "Uncle Ding Nan has been away for half a year, and a hundred days of filial piety has passed. But Shizi is still Shizi. His family has lived in Southwest China for a long time. It seems that they have no good relatives in Beijing. "


    Hearing this, leisurely already understood that "it''s for this, uncle Ding Nan died for his country. After he left, shouldn''t the imperial court give preferential treatment to his family?"


    Shen Ze sneered, "the Dingnan family has been guarding Fujian for many years, and their family has a high prestige in the army here. The late emperor was generous. As long as the Nanbo family was in good order and kept here. Our new emperor doesn''t have such a big measure. Now it''s hard to get a chance to reduce the influence of Bofu on the army. Naturally, we won''t let it go easily. " Leisurely gently frowned, "I don''t say that. It''s too chilling for that one to do so."


    Shen Ze''s mouth slightly said, "is that man still doing little to cross the river and demolish the bridge? That''s all. Let''s not talk about that. I have my own ideas for uncle Ding Nan, but since they have already shown us kindness, we are not too arrogant. You send a post first, and say that next time I''ll take a rest, we''ll visit together. "


    After receiving the post sent by leisurely, Zhao Haixuan, the eldest son of Dingnan, did not dare to neglect it. I personally took the post and went to the backyard to show it to his grandmother, the old lady of Dingnan Bofu.


    After reading the post, Zhao Laofu said in a deep voice, "since people don''t dislike the bad luck of our family, then we should have a good reception." He said to his eldest grandson, "I''ve wronged you these days. I thought your father died on duty. It shouldn''t be difficult for you to inherit this title. I didn''t expect that our folding paper had been handed over for such a long time, and there was no explanation in the palace. "


    One side of the Dingnan Bofu humanitarian "in laws also said to ask the Ministry of rites Huang adults help on the fold, but the emperor there has been left in the hair."


    Shizi''s wife was rather embarrassed and said, "it''s all my mother''s family''s fault. What I can find is only a small official. I can''t help my family and my husband."


    Mrs. Zhao waved her hand and said, "what is that? The root of this matter is not in others, the father-in-law has been helping. But the upper authorities are in a dilemma, not to mention the father-in-law. Even Yan Shenggong is afraid that he can''t do anything about it. "


    "I don''t know if general Shen is willing to help me."


    Zhao old lady''s eyes slightly coagulate, "it depends on the sincerity of our family."


    Mrs. dingnanbo was puzzled. "Xuange''er has already helped general Shen to introduce soldiers. Isn''t that enough?"


    Smell speech, Zhao Laofu in the heart a sigh, this daughter-in-law anything good, is sometimes think things too simple. It''s OK to manage the family affairs. It''s extravagant to point out that she can teach her husband and children in government affairs. Then she took another look at her granddaughter-in-law, Lu. Fortunately, the granddaughter-in-law married well. Although her family background was a little worse, her ability was enough to make up for this.


    After the banquet, leisurely here received a lot of reply posts. After a careful selection, she found that she didn''t have to go in person. Most of them refused or let the servants give her a big gift.


    She is a person who can''t stay idle. When she is free, she wants to find something to do for herself. Think of that day Shen Ze said that his family is thin, although it is a joke, but compared with his private money, the public money is not much. So leisurely he calculated what to do with the silver in his hand.

 Chapter 468

    Think of here, she then let a person call Yang law to come over, said own plan.


    After coming to Rongcheng, Yang Lu saw that the sea trade here was prosperous, and he had his own plan in his heart. He had been interested in business since he was young, or he would not even have failed the imperial examination.


    This will hear leisurely saying, he said with a smile, "now that I''m here, I''m going to have an idea to talk to my cousin. Seeing that brother Ming and sister Fang are not young, they will be married in two years. My cousin knows that in the past two years, thanks to your help, she bought a house in the capital and a hundred acres of land in her hometown. Although I have no ambition, I also want to buy some decent betrothal gifts and dowries for my two children. In particular, sister Fang is a girl. Nowadays, both in the capital and in Fujian, it''s very popular to marry a daughter. Although I don''t want to compete with those rich families, I also want to do my best to make sister Fang''s dowry more respectable. "


    Smell speech, leisurely smile say "we are all close relatives, cousin have what idea to say is, very need not so polite."


    Yang Lu was embarrassed to smile. "In fact, it''s nothing. I see that the business here is prosperous, especially the silks, satins and fabrics of Dakang are very popular with foreign businessmen. A few years ago, when I helped my cousin run a shop in the capital, I quite knew the owners of several cloth shops. I could get some goods to sell from there. In addition, the spices, jewelry and Western things here are very rare in Beijing, so they can be transported to the other side of the capital. In this way, we can earn more than we have. So I want to try to be a businessman while I''m not too old. If it''s possible, it''s also good to save more for the two children. "


    Leisurely nodded and said, "cousin, it''s right to have such an idea. In fact, when I first came here, I had such an idea. I wanted to let my cousin find a business he liked. I''m just afraid that my cousin will think more and misunderstand me again. Now that my cousin wants to do this, just do it. I have forty thousand taels of silver here. My cousin, take it and buy it first. " What she said was not a cliche. When she was in the capital, she had many industries in her hands, so she could find out a few to take care of Yang Lu. Now there is only one house in their family. Shen Jiang helps to manage some of Shen Ze''s affairs, and it''s not easy for Yang Lu to intervene rashly. Leisurely originally wanted to find another shop to do some business and let Yang Lu take care of it. He had his own idea and was more happy.


    Although Yang Lu knew leisurely was always generous, she didn''t expect her to be so straightforward. He waved his hand and said, "not so much. This first time I just wanted to try my hand. How could I use so much silver?"


    Leisurely back to the road, "although it''s a test of water, it''s always a good thing to start with one shot.". Cloth is just waiting for goods. When we opened that shop, we had less than 8000 taels of goods. But if you want to take things back from here, any box of better gems will cost tens of thousands. If you throw this silver into the Rongcheng harbor, you won''t even be able to splash it. "


    Smell speech, Yang law a little think, also know what she said in reason. I can only make up five thousand taels of silver. I was expecting to get some cheap goods. With all these, he can choose more kinds of goods.


    At this time, he said with a smile, "but the silver is not given in vain. I have something to delay to my cousin. If I can''t do it well, I won''t give the silver."


    Yang Lu said with a smile, "if you have something to do with your cousin, just tell her." Leisurely pondered, "it''s not by the side, that is to say, our eldest brother has to work here for at least three years. It''s said that the harvest here is unstable, so I''m lazy. I just want to salvage and buy some suitable shops, or let the people below do business ideas, or rent them out directly. It''s better to have some profit than a family sitting empty. "


    After listening to this, Yang Lu said with a smile, "my cousin is really joking. If you are sitting on the mountain and eating nothing, then my cousin will drink more from the West. Don''t worry, cousin. It''s up to me. My business can''t be done immediately. I have to ask more about it. "


    After Yang Lu returned to his yard, Xu Shi saw that his face was as heavy as water. He could not help but "clatter" and hesitated to ask, "what''s the matter? Isn''t it my cousin''s refusal? Even if I don''t agree, I don''t want to agree. Although businessmen make a lot of money, they are so dangerous on the way back and forth for thousands of miles. It''s frightening to think about it. When we come here, we will take the official ship. When we go back, we will get the official ship to do it for you. If you want me to tell you to stay here safely, can your cousin treat you unfairly? " After listening to Xu''s complaint, Yang Lu couldn''t help laughing bitterly, "I didn''t say anything, so you just said it. When did I say my cousin didn''t agree? "


    Smelling speech, Xu''s many unfinished words were blocked in his throat. After a moment, she asked with a smile, "what did my cousin say? I know my cousin is the most reasonable person. "


    Yang Lu Heng looked at her. "Didn''t you just say that I could stay here safely? Why did that change your mind again? "


    Xu chuckled and said, "I didn''t see your bad face when you came in. Did you think the matter was not settled? Now that it''s done, I''d like you to earn more money. "


    After that, he sighed, "when I was in the countryside, I didn''t think there was anything inferior in our family. There were houses and lands, and the children were obedient and motivated. When we got to the capital, my cousin didn''t treat us badly. Not to mention the bonus money, even our mother''s food, clothing, housing and transportation were often admired. Later, my family bought a house and bought land in my hometown, so I should be satisfied. But that day when I stopped in Bincheng to go shopping, I found that it was not like this. Even taoliang''s mother didn''t show up on weekdays. She was more generous than our family. Although she didn''t buy many things that day. But also chose a lot of good things, said to taoliang save dowry. If there is no one else, our husband and wife can''t add up as much as the dowry she saved for her daughter. Won''t it be a joke in the future? "


    After listening to these words, Yang Lu had a bad feeling in his heart, so he had to persuade him, "why do you belittle yourself? Our family is good, too. It''s just that taoliang''s mother has her own fortune. She has that kind of skill. She goes in and out of rich families. Even the empress once asked her to check her pulse. It''s no wonder that she has accumulated more things. OK, you don''t have to think about it any more. It''s a man''s business to earn money. Just give it to your husband. You just take care of the two children. By the way, where''s Ming boy? "


    Xu said with a smile, "this child is always sensible. He is reading a book in the room. He said that he will come back to be a scholar in the next spring."

 Chapter 469

    When he heard that his son knew how to make progress, Yang Lu was also very proud. "Fortunately, the child didn''t follow me. He was a bit smart in reading. I almost killed myself when I was a scholar. I don''t ask much. If the child can pass the exam, I will be successful in my life. "


    He said, "what is a person like? It''s really glorious to be an official in the dynasty if you can pass the imperial examination like his uncle. "


    Yang Lu said with a smile, "you''re right, but the child is still young and can''t put too much pressure on him. Otherwise, it''s not worth the loss to force him to read. "


    In the next few days, Yang Lu has been running outside to investigate. Rongcheng port has always been prosperous. There are few idle shops. Most of those who transfer business are small shops. Let alone leisurely, even Yang Lu despises them. After running for several days, he didn''t have a clue. He was still relieved that "it''s too urgent. Sometimes it depends on fate. Just look at it slowly."


    Yang Lu replied, "I''ve met several famous Chinese people these days, and I''ve already asked them to help me. Seeing that the new year is coming, I wonder if my cousin wants to send something to Beijing? "


    Leisurely smile back way "this is natural, I''ve been thinking about this two days, but we just settled down, housekeeper Shen here still have a lot of business to be busy, this will also can''t get away.". I haven''t figured out who to take this trip. "


    Yang Lu said with a smile, "if cousin can trust me, let me do it."


    This is a bit unexpected for leisurely. "This round trip will take at least three months. If my cousin goes, he won''t be able to come back for the Spring Festival. My cousin, aren''t they worried? "


    Yang Lu didn''t care and waved her hand. "She and I have agreed that we should take advantage of the high price of goods at the end of the year. She and her two children live with my cousin, and I don''t worry about it. It''s better to start as soon as possible, but I always remember it in my heart. "


    In the past, the Yang family didn''t worry so much about money, and they didn''t know what they were stimulated by. Seeing that he had made up his mind, leisurely and not much, he had to say, "it''s a long way to go. My cousin must be careful. Two days ago, I heard from my husband that there was an official ship going to the capital to deliver the annual confession. When he came back, I asked him to help me find a bed for you. It''s better than we hire our own boat. "


    While talking, she asked the servant girl to take out a black lacquer box from the inner room. "What my cousin said is reasonable. Since you want to go, go. This is the silver agreed last time. If it''s not enough, tell me again. "


    Yang Lu took the box and said with a smile, "these are more than I can take out. They are enough. Don''t worry, cousin. This silver is your stock. I''ll give my cousin 70% profit when I earn it. "


    Leisurely didn''t say no. after all, Yang Lu had to borrow Shen Ze''s name to do business here. The money is supposed to be paid by Gongzhong, and then the bonus will be returned to Gongzhong, which can be regarded as an account to the Shen family. So she replied with a smile, "I don''t want to shirk from my cousin, but I don''t need to follow what my cousin said. According to the Convention, it''s divided into five and five, so I''ll take five and make it better. After all, I just spent some money. I still have to work hard all the way to buy and sell goods. I can''t share my cousin''s worries. It''s a bit unkind to take these. "


    Yang Lu hurriedly replied, "what my cousin said is that other people''s family can''t get the bonus for nothing. If my cousin says it''s not kind, then there will be no kind people in the world."


    Both of them are happy people, impatient of those hypocritical and polite words, so they settle down in a few words.


    When Shen Ze came back in the evening, he told him the story leisurely. Shen Ze nodded and said, "my cousin is right. It''s really the best time to sell goods at the end of the new year. For businessmen, it''s the most profitable time of the year. It''s a pity to miss this opportunity for nothing. Well, I''ll write a post in person later. Tomorrow, you ask your cousin to take you to find Mr. Zhang of the marine affairs department. This time he took the boat to the capital


    The next day, Yang Lu took Shen Ze''s post to see Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang and Shen Ze are old acquaintances. They have known each other since Shen Ze came to Rongcheng many years ago. At that time, Mr. Zhang was just a minor official in Rongcheng, not very impressive. Today, although his official position is not big, he has a lot of real power in his hands. He can get this hot seat, and then there is the operation of the Shen family. It''s just that they didn''t have much contact with each other, so no one else thought of it. This meeting, Yang Lu came with Shen Ze''s Autographed post. Mr. Zhang showed great enthusiasm and became a brother. For Yang Lv''s request is busy, but also enthusiastically arranged for him a beautiful suite. It''s said that Yang Lu has to bring things to the Shen family to give gifts in the capital, but he doesn''t even accept the silver ticket he handed over. This is too warm, let Yang Lu a little confused, the other side is also straightforward, said directly, "I heard that my brother will go to Han Shangshu''s house to give gifts, I also have no other request, at that time, if my brother can help me to bring a new year''s gift, I will be very grateful."


    Yang LV naturally didn''t dare to decide such a thing. He just said with a smile, "it''s easy to talk about other things, but I can''t do it with respect to my brother. I always have to go back and ask for instructions."


    Zhang adults do not care, said with a smile, "this should be, brother back how to say on how to say it."


    The official ship was scheduled to leave in three days, so Yang Lu could not care too much. Go back to tell leisurely this matter, then rush to the port to choose goods. Fortunately, he has been talking with people these days, and many things can be delivered directly to the silver to pick up the goods.


    Leisurely here also seize the time to buy things, ready to let Yang LV take away, about the shop thing had to plan to finish the new year. Fortunately, there are many specialties in Fujian, such as tea, lacquerware, shell carving, wood carving, dry seafood and so on. In addition, these days the family received a lot of exotic western things from outside. It''s also appropriate to add them to the annual gift.


    There are many families who want to give gifts. It is needless to say that the national government and Youran''s family, as well as the Han family, the prefecture government, the Zhou government and the Fang family, can not be left behind. There are also festival gifts for the empress of the palace, which are put in the things of the government and handed over by Han''s help. In addition, there is the old house of the Shen family. It''s better to express something. Fortunately, I''m able to help you, but I''ve bought it properly in two days. I went to see it leisurely, but I didn''t find anything wrong.


    That day, Xu was helping Yang Lu pack in the room. Suddenly, she heard the little servant girl say, "madam, lady Lin is coming."

 Chapter 470

    Hearing the little servant girl''s return, Xu rushed to the door and said with a smile, "how can my sister come here when she''s free?"


    Xu''s question is not because of the bad relationship between them, but because of her identity, Yulian has always been strict and never comes to the outer court at will. When they were on the boat, they often got together to talk and do some work. When they arrived at Rongcheng, however, most of them went to find Yulian, so they asked.


    The jade lotus returns a way "isn''t this something mutually beg to come?"? It''s said that brother Yang is going back to the capital. I have something here. I want to ask brother yang to bring something to my mother''s family. "


    As soon as he heard about it, Xu said, "it''s easy to say. Just stick the seal on the things. Our family leaders will go back to the countryside to celebrate the new year. They just pass by your village, and then they will take them for you."


    Yulian said with a smile, "in this case, I''d like to thank my second brother and sister-in-law first." Then he complimented, "the second sister-in-law was worried about Fang''s dowry last time. It''s a big business profit. Yang''s second brother has run several times. You even have the money to marry your daughter-in-law."


    Xu sighed softly, "Oh, I hope so."


    Seeing that her face was not quite right, Yulian asked, "why is the second sister-in-law''s face not right? She was fine yesterday, but what kind of embarrassment did she encounter?"


    Xu asked the little maids to go out and said, "I can talk to my sister about this. Aren''t we buying goods these days? Originally, he bought almost all his goods. This morning, I saw a lot of cloth, including Dorothy, feather yarn, feather satin and various Western cloth. We wanted to buy less goods, but the foreign businessman refused to take them apart. He only wanted to pack them and sell them together. The total cost was 20000 taels of silver. But the silver that my cousin gave me was already in other goods two days ago. We managed to collect ten thousand taels of silver, but there was still half of it. I said no, he also said that this batch of goods is a rare good product. It''s the first time for foreign businessmen to come to Dakang. There are no other old customers and the price is very affordable. He''s afraid he won''t have such an opportunity after missing this one. "


    Hearing this, Yulian said with a smile, "brother Yang always has a way of doing things. He always wants to order this batch of goods for the sake of the future. It''s not that bad. Good students can always make it up. "


    Xu said, "for people like us, that''s a huge sum of money. Our family is not in this number. I said I would go to borrow some more from my cousin, but the head of the family would not allow me to make trouble for her. He''s pestering the foreign businessman to see if he can make it cheaper. I''m just going to pick up my head and some ancient books and inkstones that my husband collected before. First, I''ll pawn some silver for him in case of emergency. "


    Yulian frowned and said, "no matter how much money you live or die, there are few pawnbrokers who don''t cheat. If you live or die, these things will be hard to redeem."


    Xu sighed, "well, what can I do? It''s rare that our family leader wants to do something wholeheartedly. I have to help him even if I break the pot and sell iron. "


    Before she heard the words, she saw Yulian holding her hand. "Why should my sister-in-law say that she is so miserable? It''s only ten thousand taels of silver. How can she break the pot and sell iron? I understand my sister-in-law''s unwillingness to trouble her cousin. As it happens, I have also saved some private houses over the years. I can still get 10000 Liang. Anyway, I don''t need it for a while and a half. I''d better give it to my second brother first. I''ll go back and get it now. "


    Then he got up and was about to go out, but he was caught by Xu''s hand. "I won''t say anything polite. Thank you for trusting our family."


    "We''ve known each other for so many years. We know each other well. What''s the matter with distrust. Well, time is running out. I''ll get the bank note first. You can send it to the second brother earlier. "


    But Yang Lu over there spent a lot of money to buy out the Chinese, and with the name of the general office, he stabilized the foreign businessmen for the time being. However, when the foreign businessman came to Dakang for the first time, he was also extremely careful. When he saw Yang Lu saying that he would not take cash for a long time, he was also a little suspicious. Although Yang Lu pretended to be indifferent, he was also murmuring in his heart. He didn''t know if the mother-in-law could raise ten thousand taels of silver. I''ll be looking forward to Xu''s collecting all the money. After all, this batch of goods is really rare. After all, these are all the painstaking efforts collected by her family over the years. There are all kinds of festival gifts sent leisurely and the best goods Yang Lu cut off from the shop. They were originally intended to pass on to her family. At noon, when the foreign businessmen couldn''t see the silver, they became impatient. They turned around and grumbled with the Chinese. After listening with a smile, he was just about to speak to Yang LV when a long follower of Yang LV came in from the outside, whispered two words in his ear, and then handed him a purse.


    Yang Lu opened his wallet and saw that it was a twenty thousand taels silver note. He couldn''t say whether he was happy or lost. At this time, he didn''t know that the silver was borrowed by Yulian. He just thought that Xu had pawned all his valuable things.


    After the settlement with the foreign businessmen, Yang Lu went back to his house in a hurry. He thought his house should be like a house with no family. I didn''t expect that when I entered the house, I found that there were only a few precious ornaments in my family. Even Xu''s head was still wearing jewels. Yang LV was surprised and asked, "didn''t you pawn anything?"


    Xu said with a quick smile, "I was just about to tell you about it. Originally, I was almost ready to go out. It happened that Lin''s sister came to see me when she had something to do. Seeing that I didn''t look well, she asked. I thought that she was not an outsider, so I told her the story. I didn''t expect that sister Lin didn''t show up very much on weekdays. After hearing that our family had lost 10000 taels of silver, she took the silver ticket to our family for emergency. I don''t know how to be grateful. "


    Yang LV pondered a little, and then said, "the goods I have ordered are really good. Let people get some back. After a while, you can choose some good ones and send them to your cousin and Lin''s sister. It''s also our idea. There is also Lin''s younger sister. You say that we have recorded her kindness. This silver is just like that of my cousin. It is regarded as her income, and she will get dividends in the future. "


    On hearing this, Xu couldn''t help feeling a little distressed. "Is this too much?"


    Yang Lu glanced at her angrily, "if it wasn''t for the help of others, we could have sold this batch of goods so smoothly. I''ve calculated that according to the usual price in Beijing, this batch of goods can be at least quadrupled or quintupled, and the benefits can''t be enjoyed by our family alone. What''s more, if we treat her too leniently, we will not be happy to let her know. "


    Although Xu''s family is a bit mean occasionally, he still listens to people''s advice. After listening to his husband''s words, he says with a smile, "you''re right. If you don''t look at anything else, we should take care of their orphans and widows. I''m mean. It''s still the head of the family who does things openly! " Then he stretched out a thumb and amused Yang Lv.


    Leisurely is teaching Shen Xi to write a gift list in the room, when he sees Xu''s coming with a little servant girl.

 Chapter 471

    In addition to the Xu family, there are several women coming in with a lot of cloth and so on.


    Seeing this, leisurely can''t help but wonder, "what are you doing?"


    Xu replied with a smile, "isn''t Xianggong making inventory these days? It happened that he met this batch of foreign cloth. The price is cheap and the quality is excellent. "


    Then he opened all the packages outside the cloth and showed the things inside to leisurely. "Look at these. I don''t know much about them, but I feel them smooth and soft. I guess they should be good things."


    Leisurely one by one to see a circle, and then praised, "if they are really good things, especially these pieces of feather yarn and satin, there is no difference in follow-up, it''s really rare." Then he said, "no matter how cheap such a good thing is, the price can''t be too low. We are not outsiders. Why do we have to be polite? My cousin has just started to do business. He hasn''t made any money yet. I''ll be happy when he makes a lot of money and gives it to me. "


    Xu''s face collapsed and said, "look what you said. Although it''s hard at first, it''s true, but we can''t just get in and out. We don''t even care about the normal walking of relatives. We''ll take all the precious jewelry you sent to our wives. It''s not a valuable thing. It''s just our idea. If you don''t accept it, you just don''t like us. "


    Leisurely Fang said with a smile, "my cousin''s mouth is really tight. OK, can''t I take it?" Xu just began to laugh.


    After leaving leisurely here, Xu went to Yulian yard without touching the ground. Yulian looked at several pieces of cloth brought by Xu, which were piled as high as a hill on the table in her room. I can''t help laughing and saying, "what''s sister-in-law doing?"


    Xu said the same thing again, for fear of Yulian''s refusal, he said, "don''t hurry to refuse. Look at these goods carefully. But my cousin has said that these things are the same as what I have entered. You are not prepared to give taoliang a dowry early in the morning. If you don''t accept such a good thing, you can''t buy it with silver another day. "


    Smell speech, jade lotus had no choice but to accept so many cloth. Only two pieces of Dorothy were selected to make winter clothes, and the rest were collected. They were really going to make dowry for taoliang. But Tao Liang has always been willing to discipline himself. Seeing that his mother had received such good things, he said, "isn''t the material used to make clothes? Mother, if you put them all up, you won''t be afraid that the weather here is so humid. "


    Yulian didn''t look at her angrily. "I specially paid a lot of money to buy ebony box to put these materials. If it''s still bad, it''s only bad luck for you. At that time, you''ll have less good materials to press the bottom of the box in your dowry, and I can''t help it."


    Tao Liang immediately felt that he had no words to refute, so he had to say "well, mother, you can do as you like, you are always happy." She could not help but sigh that her mother should not belong to the dragon. She should belong to the dragon. She could not get in


    Seeing that she was dispirited, taoliang was also reluctant to give up. Thinking that her daughter had not made new clothes for the new year, she was ready to give up another batch of materials. Then he asked, "come on, which material do you like?"


    On hearing this, Tao Liang immediately showed a smile. He went forward to take Yulian''s arm and said, "I know that my mother loves me most. I saw that there was a purple brocade in it. The color was very good, and the material was fine and thick. It was suitable to make a coat."


    Yulian was angry with her and laughed, "you girl, your eyes are poisonous." Taoliang flattered, "isn''t it just a matter of mother? If it wasn''t for the warm climate in Fujian and no snow in winter, I would have made my cape out of that feather satin. Because of the mild weather, I chose that material


    Smell speech, jade lotus helpless way "you ah, really is not in charge of the family, don''t know firewood and rice is expensive.". How unworthy is such a good material just to make a coat? It''s better for your mother to take it away and make a dowry for you in the future! If you want to wear purple clothes, I remember that there is a piece of purple brocade in the box, which is brighter than this one. It''s more suitable for your age. Or I''ll make clothes for you with that. " With that, he got up and turned it out in the cupboard and handed it to his daughter. Taoliang saw that the color of this material was more elegant than that of the previous one, and the tentacles were extremely smooth, so he was happy to reply. Then he said, "this ruler is very big. There is still a lot left after finishing the coat. It''s better to make a short coat for my mother."


    "I''m a half old woman, how can I wear such a bright color?" she said


    Taoliang said with disapproval, "why is your mother old? Outsiders say that you are like my sister, not my mother. I know you don''t like publicity. Isn''t that what I want you to wear? I made it for my mother. I''ve decided the style. I''ll make a long sleeve jacket out of that rose purple Dorothy. The color is just right. Mother, what do you say? "


    Jade lotus helpless smile way "you all calculate good, can I say not good?"


    Soon came the day of Yang Lv''s departure. Early in the morning, leisurely couple took Yang Lv to the gate and went back to their yard. It''s not that they don''t want to send it to the dock. First, it''s too eye-catching. Second, it''s an appointment to visit dingnanbo mansion today. They have to make some preparations.


    A family of five with early meals, dressed properly, they took the early morning ready gifts, took a carriage to the Zhao family.


    The Zhao family cleaned up the yard early in the morning. When their family arrived, Shizi and his wife came out to welcome them in.


    Leisurely with Shen Xi and two children back yard, Shen Ze is accompanied by the son of the front yard.


    Of course, my mother went to greet Mrs. Zhao first. Although Mr. Zhao was old and gray, his eyes were not blurred and his ears were not deaf, and his thinking was still quick. See leisurely with a few small all bow down, busy let his daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law to hold them, bluntly said "can''t make can''t make can''t make, madam although young, Gao Ming is there, such a big gift old body can''t accept."


    Leisurely smile way "first no matter what Gaoming not Gaoming, the old lady''s age in that place, I line a junior ceremony is also should."


    Mrs. Zhao said with a smile, "Mrs. Zhao is really a man of rules. Unlike today''s young daughter-in-law, she is very arrogant and doesn''t pay attention to people by relying on her mother-in-law''s family. But I don''t know that the circumstances of life are always changing, and a person like Mrs. Shen can have a long life only if he is modest and low-key. "


    Leisurely nodded and echoed, "no wonder people often say that" an old man is like a treasure in a family. "The old lady''s words are like pearls, and let the younger generation be taught."


    Mrs. Zhao shook her head and said with a smile, "when you are old, you can''t help but like to nag. If you don''t think I''m noisy, you''ll be fine."

 Chapter 472

    Then the others on both sides met one by one. When Shen Xi and his two little friends came here for the first time, the three generations of their ancestors and grandchildren in Dingnan mansion gave them a lot of gifts. Leisurely had expected this, so he prepared some heavy gifts early in the morning. I won''t feel embarrassed to accept them.


    And the wife of Shizi has a little girl more than one year old. Her long pink jade carving is very lovely. Leisurely has always been fond of girls. After seeing them, she can''t help holding them in her arms. The child doesn''t know who she is. Seeing that leisurely wants to hold herself, with her two small arms open, she can''t stop talking.


    Leisurely looking at the little doll''s small face, I really want to pinch two, but because I am not familiar with other people''s elders, I don''t want to do it. But the little baby''s hands are very sharp. She may feel that the jade Hibiscus pendant wrapped in a multicolored necklace hanging around her waist is more conspicuous. She holds it in her hand and won''t let go. Leisurely seeing this, she reached out and teased her with a smile, "do you like this? You little girl, you have a good eye. " Then she put the jade in her hand.


    The little doll obviously didn''t know what it was to push off. When she got it, she had to put it in her mouth. She was stopped by leisurely. "Oh, good baby, this thing can''t be eaten. It''s dirty."


    One side of Lu Shi see this, quickly some ashamed way "the child is not sensible, be careful not to the lady''s jade pendant to dirty." Then he took the jade pendant out of his daughter''s hand and gave it back to leisurely.


    As soon as the jade pendant left her hand, the little baby was unwilling, and her eyelashes blinked and tears came down.


    Leisurely busy way "she is still small, why recruit her?"? It''s not a valuable thing. Let''s play with it. "


    Lu replied, "it''s not like that. I''m getting older every day. It''s not a good habit to ask people for things. If I don''t correct it properly, it''s not easy to manage when I''m older. What''s more, my wife has already given me a gift. I can''t ask for it again. "


    Then he took his daughter to his child and said softly, "Yueping, you are the most obedient child. Shall we return the jade pendant to others?"


    Although the little doll was still reluctant, she nodded her head cleverly, then lay on Lu''s shoulder wrongly, pouted her little mouth and didn''t move.


    See, leisurely not from for Lu''s daughter strict education. Put yourself in the other''s shoes, if you change yourself, I''m afraid you can''t be so cruel. To avoid embarrassment, she said with a smile, "although the child is young, he is really sensible."


    Shen Xi also said with a smile, "not only is she sensible, but her name is also very interesting. It happened that she and Ping Ge''er of our family had the same word."


    Leisurely to Lu''s way "isn''t it? It''s a coincidence that my youngest son''s nickname is Kangping. " Although men and women are different, they are still under five years old. There is no pressure to talk about names.


    Lu''s grandparents and grandchildren all said with a smile, "it''s really a coincidence. It''s also fate."


    Kang Ping, who was sitting with his brother, jumped out of his chair and ran to leisurely and asked, "Niang, whose name do you think I am similar to?"


    Leisurely pointed to the little doll, "it''s this sister. Her breast name is Yueping. Isn''t it a coincidence?"


    Kang Ping has just learned a few new sentences recently. He will show off his "literary talent" intentionally. He turns to Yueping, who is still pouting, and nods, "it''s a coincidence. It''s really" there''s nothing strange in the world. " While talking, he shakes his head. The little adult''s appearance makes everyone in the room laugh.


    Kangping didn''t know why everyone laughed, and he didn''t care much about it. He just ran to Lu and said to Yueping with a smile, "sister, why are you not happy? Isn''t joy just joy? You have to smile more. " Then he handed a ruyi nine chain that he had played in his hand to xiaoyueping, "this is for you to play. Don''t be unhappy. You are so cute. You have to smile more to look good." There is a sense of disorder in the wind on one side of leisurely. She looks very serious on weekdays. This little son is not old enough. How can he be so familiar with the means of coaxing girls? He is like a "habitual criminal"!


    Fortunately, Kang Ping is young, and others just don''t take his words seriously. If he had been ten years old, he would have been beaten out with a broom.


    This Ruyi nine link is small and exquisite. When it''s combined, it''s a ring style. It''s also inlaid with some burnt blue patterns, which adds some delicacy and elegance to the whole nine link. After Yueping got hold of it, he played there, and soon recovered his usual smile.


    No matter how delicate it is, it''s nothing but silver. Lu''s view that it''s not very valuable, and it''s also given by children, so it''s not easy to shirk. He said to his daughter, "Yueping, look how good this brother is. I''ll give you my toys to play with. Don''t you thank him?"


    More than a year old child has been able to speak a few words, smell speech, xiaoyueping squint small eyes, showing pink gums, happy arched hand way "thank... BAM..."


    Leisurely see Kangping not moved, can''t help but push him a "sister thank you, you also don''t return a gift."


    Kang Ping was a little unhappy and said, "she called me" bang bang ". I don''t want to agree."


    Everyone was made to laugh by his childishness. Leisurely, he could not laugh or cry and said, "my sister is still young. She is learning to speak, and it''s normal that her pronunciation is not accurate. You are a man. How can you have the same understanding with such a little girl?"


    Kangping tilted his head and thought for a while. He seemed to think that his mother''s words were very reasonable. He just nodded to Yueping and said, "my sister is good, you''re welcome."


    Then a servant from the front yard came to report that shiziye wanted to meet Shen Tongling''s two sons. Mr. Zhao pointed to the two old ladies and said, "you are very kind. You can send the two young ladies to the school and come back at lunch time. Their elders are careless and their children can''t eat enough with them." The two old ladies were busy and respectful.


    The nurse and servant girl of the two children who followed quickly took the big clothes in their hands and put them on. After tidying up neatly, they followed the old lady of uncle''s house.


    With the nursing mothers, leisurely is also more at ease.


    After the two brothers left, Lu also let the mother-in-law take some sleepy Yueping down.


    Looking around the hall leisurely, some hesitated and asked, "I heard that there are still some girls in my family. Why don''t you see them?"


    Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao said with a smile, "unfortunately, I have only three granddaughters. The eldest granddaughter was accidentally infected with the cold a few days ago, and she will still be in the house. It happened that the weather was cloudy and sunny this year, and her illness was sometimes good and sometimes bad. Otherwise, she should come out to greet her wife anyway. As for the little granddaughter, she was born by her aunt. Her aunt was pregnant originally. After hearing the bad news about the dog, she unfortunately gave birth to a premature baby. After struggling to give birth to a girl, she also went. My second granddaughter is a filial, determined to fast for her aunt in the temple for three years, we can not stop her, so we have to let her go. The little granddaughter is still young and weak, so she didn''t come out. "


    Although the other side only said a few words, but leisurely but feel like listening to a rich secret. There have never been so many coincidences between wives and concubines. Some of them are just temporary peace after life and death.

 Chapter 473

    Before coming to Nanbo mansion, leisurely once inquired about the situation of his family. They all said that it was a rare family that was stable and friendly. Now it seems that under the appearance of stability and harmony, there are still dark waves.


    It''s just that it''s someone else''s family business after all. These thoughts dissipate in leisurely mind. She would never be too energetic for irrelevant personnel expenses.


    After Mr. Zhao finished, leisurely only said with a smile, "I''m here to express my feelings. Unfortunately, I''ve prepared a few gifts here, and I''d like to ask the old lady to hand them over." Then she asked the maid to take out three tables. Because inquired in advance, knew that Mrs. Bo had only one legitimate daughter, therefore leisurely specially made the distinction in the table ceremony.


    Sure enough, after Mrs. Bo looked at it, although she had no words, her face was much better.


    Leisurely in the side of these are secretly close in the eye, but in the heart of this life a little bit of respect and far of thinking.


    Towards noon, leisurely wanted to leave and go home, but he couldn''t bear the warm hospitality of all the people in Bofu. In addition, Shen Ze had a message sent to him, so the family stayed here for lunch.


    Because uncle''s family is still in the filial piety period, the lunch is also vegetarian, not even a little wine and water.


    At the end of the meal, Lu said with a smile, "today there are only vegetarian dishes. I''ll treat you sparingly. I''m sorry for the poor reception."


    Leisurely back to the way, "you''re welcome. Although it''s a vegetarian dish, the cooking skills of your family are extraordinary and the taste is delicious. I''m not inferior to the famous vegetarian treasure house in Beijing."


    Lu''s deep smile a bit "where? Su Baozhai is famous all over the world. We don''t dare to compare with each other. "


    The first time we met, it was just polite remarks. After dinner, the leisurely family left.


    When I got home, I took a sip of the tea from the servant girl, and relaxed for a long time.


    Both the two children and Shen Xi went back to their room to have a rest. There were only two husband and wife in the room. Seeing her like this, Shen Ze put down his tea cup and asked with a smile, "how can you look very tired? Is that Dingnan uncle''s mansion a place full of dragons and tigers?"


    Leisurely and soft, I leaned on the big pillow behind me and said with a smile, "although it can''t be said to be the dragon''s den and tiger''s den, I can''t see that the house is as calm as it seems. After staying in her house for half a day, I feel more tired than going to the palace."


    Then he slightly frowned, "I don''t know what''s going on with the empress now. I don''t know if the letter that I just came to Beijing has been delivered."


    Shen Ze patted her hand placidly, "don''t worry. According to reliable information, the empress''s" illness "has been cured, and she should have been in charge of palace affairs again."


    "Really? When is this news? You didn''t tell me earlier


    Shen Ze helplessly put out his hand. "I just got the news two days ago. It''s not that I''ve been busy training. When I come back, there are always such and such chores, and I don''t care to talk about them with you."


    What he said is true. Recently, there have been a lot of trivia at home. Leisurely was in a good mood when he heard the good news of Shen Tian''s safety. As soon as he showed a smile, he heard Shen zeshen say, "in a moment, you pack up some luggage for me. I''ll lead my troops to the seaside to guard the frontier tomorrow."


    Smell speech, leisurely some surprised, "this garrison thing still need you to go in person?"? Did someone trip you up again? "


    Shen Ze shakes his head and says, "how come the people here are suddenly easy to talk after our last dinner? Although it''s thousands of miles away from the capital, there are many things in it that the empress is in charge of the palace affairs. They know it earlier than us. Now, taking advantage of their scruples, I want to train an army for my own use as soon as possible. Otherwise, in case of another war in the future, the situation will be unpredictable. " No wonder Shujing county master''s attitude is so warm last time, which is quite different from the dust-free lady in leisurely impression. After all, it''s just the influence of the word "right".


    Although not give up, but in public and private leisurely can not stop Shen Ze. When Shen Ze finished, she took the maids to pack up a wooden box and several big bags and came out, wearing and using properly prepared. Finally, he told Shen Ze, "I heard that the seaside barracks is very humid and the environment is poor. Don''t make do with what you need when you get there. Just send shuangshou Shuangfu back to get it. It''s not like there''s a war here. You''ll be more comfortable in your daily life. You''ll have more energy to train soldiers. "


    She talked about it for a long time, but Shen Ze didn''t feel bored. On the contrary, he felt that this kind of rambling leisurely and lively fireworks would not make him feel that the other party was far away from him.


    After Shen Ze left, he took a few small ones with him at home and seldom went out to walk. Since they came to Fujian, they didn''t study in local academies all of a sudden. Leisurely''s idea is to invite a teacher at home to give them a lesson, but for a while and a half, I haven''t found such a suitable teacher. Now I have to let the two brothers study their lessons by themselves.


    After leisurely putting her attention at home, she suddenly finds that Xu''s mother and daughter and Yulian''s mother and daughter don''t know when they are particularly close. Two pairs of mother and daughter often talk together, do needlework do not say, also often eat together. Is it difficult for the two families to get married?


    She found a gap and asked Yulian in private.


    Yulian said with a smile, "didn''t you say that brother Ming was a good child last time? I''m also in love with that child, and the two families have known each other for so many years. They all know the root and the bottom. I''ve been looking at Yang Er Sao for quite a while, and I''ve never stopped her. "


    Hearing this, he nodded his head leisurely. "Brother Ming is really good, but we taoliang are not bad either. We are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It''s also the entrance disciple of the Royal concubine. Even the children of officials can marry. You don''t have to belittle yourself. "


    Yulian replied, "our wives are not so ambitious. They have to marry into that big family. For me, as long as the child is safe and happy, I really want to climb too high, and I''m afraid she will be wronged. By the way, taoliang specially told me that she would not let me tell her how to worship the princess. She said that if she wanted to find someone who really liked her, she didn''t want to find those who liked her family background. "


    Leisurely smile way "I said early, this child is still very independent."


    Hearing this, Yulian shook her head and said, "well, she''s just a smart elephant. Although she has some ideas, she''s young and inexperienced. To be honest, how can there be a mother-in-law who doesn''t like her daughter-in-law''s family background? It''s Yang Er Sao. If she didn''t take a look at me this time, she would have taken out ten thousand taels of silver. She might not have been able to see my taoliang. "

 Chapter 474

    After listening to Yulian''s words, leisurely and hurriedly advised, "how can I? Although the second cousin was a little cautious, her nature was not bad. It must have been taoliang''s temperament that she wanted to marry. Otherwise, when I was in Beijing in the past, my cousin made friends with many rich families, and I didn''t see my second cousin change her mind. "


    Yulian said with a smile, "even if she has a good eye on my dowry, it doesn''t matter. As long as she can treat my daughter well in the future, I will compensate taoliang for all my wealth. So what? This is the only girl I have


    Leisurely echoed, "yes, aren''t we parents looking forward to the happiness of our children?"


    Jade lotus gently shakes her head and says, "well, anyway, Tao Liang is still young. I''m anxious to make a decision for her now and a half. However, my second sister-in-law and I have a bottom in mind first. It''s not certain that my brother Ming''s father will like our daughter."


    Smell speech, leisurely busy angry she one eye "see what you say, we Tao Liang''s character, there are a few not in?" Then his eyes darkened and he said, "Tao Liang is still young. It''s not too late to talk about it in three or two years, but sister Xi is really big. Although bowl marriage is popular among high-ranking women in the Kang Dynasty, it takes more than a year to get married from a young age. If there is a personal choice, it''s OK. Now I don''t even have a personal choice. I''m very anxious when I think about it. "


    Yu Lian advised her, "it''s no use worrying about it. Now that we are new here, we still have a dark eye on this place, and we know nothing about the outstanding young talents. We have to wait a little longer before we can find out. Fortunately, seventeen is not too big. Let''s search slowly and find something good. "


    Leisurely smile with a nod, but some regret in my heart, that day if not with Princess Xia had a tacit understanding, she would have been looking for Shen Xi''s mother-in-law. Who would have expected that later the man would have to put in a bar in order to limit the influence of the Shen family, which delayed Xi''s youth for nothing.


    But when I think about it, it''s better to delay a little time than to have an "accident" after I get married.


    Seeing that the new year is getting closer and closer, you have to buy new year''s goods with your family. In addition to the customs in the capital, we should also take into account the local customs. We should also prepare enough food and utensils for the Spring Festival here.


    On this day, the weather was rare and sunny. Leisurely, there was nothing urgent at hand, so he said to Shen Xi and Tao Liang, "it''s a rare day today. Let''s go shopping together. Last time I said I would go to Mrs. Xin''s Jinfu building and have a look. Let''s go and have a look later. As long as we don''t go too far, we will always buy some things. It''s a round place. "


    The two girls were very happy to have a chance to go shopping. Leisurely got up to change clothes, and turned to Tao Liang, said, "it''s not good just to take you two to leave Fang''s sister behind. Go to find a servant girl and say, let''s go when I change clothes."


    So they went to the front yard with their little servant girl to tell Yang Fang that Fang didn''t want to go. Or Xu advised, "since your aunt sincerely invited you, you should go with her to broaden your horizons. What''s the fun of being at home all day? Look at your brother. He''s very steady on weekdays. He can''t sit down at the end of the year. He can''t run in the town. I usually tell you that your cousin has a lot of insight. It''s always inconvenient to be far away. How nice of you to go and ask for your peace while you live in a house? "


    "I went there ten times and got something from my aunt five times. I was very embarrassed. It was like asking for something on purpose."


    Smell speech, Xu Shi is not good angry of point her forehead "have thing to take still not good?"? What a silly girl! Who''s your aunt? She can show you something. If you don''t like you, you can''t get one out of ten times. Besides, how rich she is, she doesn''t lack that little bit. You see, taoliang is younger than you. How sweet that little mouth is. Your aunt treated her as her daughter and got more things than you. I didn''t see any embarrassment from others. "


    Fang''s sister frowned, "Niang, how can you say that about taoliang?" Xu also felt that he had made some blunders. Fortunately, the little girls were all instructed by her to go out to work. They only wanted their mother and daughter in the room. Seeing that her daughter didn''t want to, she had to coax her into saying, "well, well, I''m not good. I''m wrong. If they call you kindly, go quickly. " Then he took out some broken silver from his pocket and gave it to his daughter. "Although I have new clothes and headgear for the new year, I can buy some of my favorite gadgets."


    After hearing her mother''s words, Fang changed her clothes and went out with leisurely.


    Before going to jinfulou, leisurely they went to other big jewelry shops in the city. Maybe it''s because it''s located in the harbor. There are many kinds of jewelry and exquisite workmanship here. The price is much cheaper than that in the capital.


    Although there are countless headgear at home, it is hard for women to resist the temptation. Even though leisurely and restrained, I bought a few boxes of things when I went to Jinfu building.


    Shen Xi, who was taught by his sister-in-law that "women should be better to themselves" since he was a child, didn''t use his sister-in-law''s money because of his rich private money. He also bought a lot of things he liked.


    It''s just two aunts and sisters. After all, the family is there. But taoliang bought things that kind of eyes don''t blink a pain, let Fang sister some unexpected, in her eyes each other''s family is almost the same as their own. Moreover, they are still orphans and widows, and they have their own father and brother. However, compared with others, they are just like the girls without the protection of their father. They are reluctant to look forward and backward when they see a hairpin.


    Girls have always been precocious, Fang girls usually do not speak much, but the mind is more delicate. She has long been aware of the change in her mother''s attitude towards taoliang''s mother and daughter. Originally, she didn''t have any opinions. After all, taoliang was a very easy girl to get along with. However, after today''s incident, she hesitated and didn''t know whether to tell her mother about it. If the other party spends so much money, he will become his own sister-in-law in the future. I don''t know if he can afford it.


    If Tao Liang knew what she was doing, he would say to her, "girl, you think too much. I''m not going to marry your brother yet


    Leisurely with the corner of his eyes, he saw that Fang''s sister was a little worried. He couldn''t help sighing. Although Fang''s sister was closer to her than Tao Liang in terms of blood relationship, after all, Yulian was only a cousin across the room, while Yang Lu was her cousin. But obviously, Fang is not as intimate as taoliang. Perhaps, this is everyone''s fate.


    She was a little annoyed that she had made a mistake today. Maybe she shouldn''t have brought her out. If this meeting son subsidizes her again, with this child sensitive mind, still not necessarily can think of where to go. If you just do it, you can''t bear it. You can''t buy them here, let them just watch them?!

 Chapter 475

    Fortunately, Tao Liang is a good-looking girl. She saw the discomfort of Fang''s sister and said, "Oh, no, I can''t. I''ll go shopping with my aunt. I don''t have any money left in my purse. I need to save some money to buy some rouge powder. "


    Shen Xi teased her and said, "Oh, I''ll know how to be thrifty. Just now I looked at your big spending and thought you really didn''t lack money."


    Tao Liang took Shen Xi by the hand and said, "how much money do I have? Aunt Xi still doesn''t know? It''s just the lucky money I''ve saved these years and a little money I''ve earned from embroidery. I watched my mother save all day long. She didn''t want to add a piece of jewelry, so she bought more things for her mother to wear. I don''t lack jewelry myself


    Shen Xi nodded her nose with a smile. "You have many reasons." Then, she said to leisurely, "I don''t really want to go to jewelry shops. There are several Rouge shops in that street just now. Why don''t I take them two to have a look?"


    This is just in line with leisurely mind, so she nodded with a smile, "well, then you go, be careful on the way, take good care of their two little ones."


    After arriving at jinfulou, I sit in the carriage and lift the driving curtain. I can see that the front of the silver building is so big, and people come and go at the door. It seems that business is booming. Mother Yang went first, and soon a shopkeeper came out with her. The shopkeeper invited leisurely an outside the carriage and said with a smile, "I don''t know if Mrs. Shen is here. I''m really sorry to meet you. Unfortunately, my wife has just left, so I''ll send a letter to her. "


    Leisurely light said, "don''t specially tell Mrs. Xin, I''m just casual to see, why bother your wife''s leisure."


    The shopkeeper''s Square way "that is good, that madam please get off the car, to upstairs elegant sitting."


    After sitting down in the elegant room, the shopkeeper sent tea and snacks to the shopkeeper first. "Madam, use it first, and the little one will show her the head. I don''t know what the lady wants? "


    Leisurely pondered: "there are some exquisite jewelry suitable for young girls to wear, take a few samples, and find some neat set of inlaid head."


    After listening to leisurely want to embed treasure head, the shopkeeper quietly looked up at a piece of Begonia beside her temples, and shook up the hanging longan ruby. He was worried. He turned around and went out for a while and came back with several boxes.


    The jewelry workmanship of jinfulou is really good. It is more exquisite than the previous ones, and the price is within the acceptable range. So she scratched several sets of headgear and some scattered jewelry. The shopkeeper saw leisurely so generous, and he was secretly happy. He said with a smile, "thank you for taking care of me. My wife has already told me that she will give me a preferential price."


    Leisurely don''t care about smile, buy things, then simply get up and leave, own servants stay behind to pay.


    When she came out early in the morning, she ordered a room in Juyuan restaurant, a famous restaurant in the city, and agreed with several small ones to meet there, so she went to the restaurant by carriage.


    Although it''s still early, but the restaurant is already very busy, leisurely with the servants to the private room, Shen Xi they have arrived. See leisurely arrived, a few people stand up to greet the door.


    Seeing this, he said with a leisurely smile, "your movements are quite fast. Have you bought everything?"


    Shen Xi replied, "although those fat powder shops are big, I don''t like the things in them, but I bought some at will. It''s taoliang who asked for a share of all kinds of embroidery in a sewing shop nearby. She piled up a small half of the car and looked like she was going to open a sewing shop. "


    How can Tao Liang''s words be so exaggerated? Aunt Xi would tease me. But this morning I spent almost all my money in my private room. I don''t want to do more embroidery work for some pocket money. " Leisurely and hastily, he said, "money is not there for a while and a half. Now you have no place to spend money. What''s the rush to do? Your mother doesn''t expect you to subsidize her family. You can only do a little bit of it a day, but you can''t do it for too long. First, it''s bad for eyes. Second, it''s easy to hunchback when you always work with your head down. This body is not good-looking. How do you say it to others in the future? "


    When she heard the first point, she didn''t like it. When she heard the second point, she felt uncomfortable. No wonder she always felt that her body was not as slender and straight as other people''s?


    At this time, Shen Xi had a sudden idea, had some ideas, just about to open his mouth, saw the side of Fang sister and stopped.


    After lunch, leisurely took a few small ones to buy some porcelain, and then went back home.


    When she got home, she leisurely went back to her room and sat down to find that Shen Xi was gone. Knowing that Fang''s sister and Tao Liang were going back to her yard, she asked her maid, "why is Xi''s sister gone? All her things are here. "


    Su he said with a smile, "the maid just saw that the girl took Miss Lin''s hand and ran to the lotus pond. Even the maids didn''t want to follow her. They didn''t know what was going on."


    Leisurely also don''t understand, shake head light smile way "this wench, now is more and more naughty.". No matter who she is, there will be a lot of noise later. " Since she got the white phoenix hairpin from Princess Xia that time, Shen Xi has become much quieter. Later, after she wanted the hairpin to come out from Shen Xi and return it to Princess Xia, Shen Xi could not deceive her, though she was reluctant to part with it.


    Now seeing Shen Xi''s more and more lively appearance, leisurely heart also gives birth to a kind of "blessing in disguise, how can we know it is not a blessing in disguise" feeling.


    Just as she expected, when she took a bath and changed her home clothes, they came hand in hand.


    Seeing that both of them are excited, I can''t help asking, "what''s the matter? You are both red. Is there anything good going on?"


    They looked at each other. Shen Xi said, "sister-in-law, I just discussed with sister taoliang. We want to open a powder shop to sell our own Rouge powder. What do you think, sister-in-law?"


    Leisurely said with a smile, "well, the idea is very good. Now that you have thought about it, do it. But if you lose money, don''t cry. "


    Shen Xi pursed his lips and said, "sister-in-law, can''t you say something nice?"


    Leisurely helpless shake his head "well, then I wish you a prosperous business."


    Tao Liang said with a smile, "when we earn money, we will be filial to our aunt."


    Leisurely smile touch her hair "or our family taoliang the best."

 Chapter 476

    Seeing that they were in high spirits, leisurely just wanted to say that he would give them the two small shops he had bought a few days ago, but then he thought about it and shut up. It''s not that she loves the two shops, but that it''s better for the children to do something for themselves for the first time. If everything is done for them, they will never know what''s inside.


    Young people, it''s better to suffer more.


    When Tao Liang came back to his house, he found the box where he had saved money. Although she is not very old, she has collected all the lucky money and money she has received since she was five or six years old. In addition, she has received a considerable amount of money from her daily work. Of course, the big head is the lucky silver given by leisurely and her master. Her master, in particular, gave her a bag of all kinds of gold coins for the Spring Festival, which was worth seven or eight hundred taels of silver.


    In fact, taoliang doesn''t spend a lot of money in his daily life, and the gold in his property hasn''t been touched. This time, she found out all the gold and silver she was reluctant to spend, and counted them one by one.


    Seeing her like this, Yulian couldn''t help asking, "what are you looking for just after you come back?"


    Taoliang tossed and said the matter to his mother.


    Smell speech, jade lotus some not quite at ease of way "good end of how to think of to do these?"? Isn''t it difficult to give you enough pocket money on weekdays? "


    Tao Liang said with a smile, "who is too much of silver? If I were myself, I would be hesitant. But now aunt Xi is so easy to take me with her. I always have to have a try. "


    Yu Lian frowned and said, "what''s Xi''er''s family background? Not to mention the dowry left by her mother alone, there are thousands of taels of income every year. It''s nothing to take out a thousand and eight hundred. What''s your total wealth? What''s good if you lose? "


    Taoliang duzui "Niang, you can rest assured that Aunt Xi''s face is there. As long as the things in this shop are not very bad, they will make a steady profit. My mother has been reluctant to wear it for me these years. I want to earn more money. At that time, I''ll buy several boxes of headgear for my mother, so that you can''t wear it again every day. "


    This makes Yulian a little sad, saying that she is not sensible, and that she is very tricky when she sees things. Say she is sensible, occasionally speaking is still a cavity childish.


    Later, he advised Yulian leisurely, "you don''t have to worry too much, although I don''t have a big tube on my face and this person is watching me, I won''t let my children suffer a lot. I thought in my heart that in their business, even if they buy shops and bring things, two thousand taels of silver will be enough. Even if it''s all lost, it''s limited. "


    One thousand Liang is a bit painful for Yulian, but it''s not that she can''t afford it. Seeing that her daughter was so attentive to this matter, she was not willing to pour cold water on it, so she had to acquiesce.


    But after two days, taoliang came back and said to her, "mother, don''t worry. That Rouge shop doesn''t need me to invest money. Aunt Xi said that I only need a prescription to buy shares, which accounts for 20% of the bonus. "


    Hearing the news, Yulian was relieved at first, and then said uneasily, "your Rouge powder is only made by yourself. Is it really valuable? Will it take advantage of others? "


    Tao Liang touched his forehead and said, "Niang, you really have an endless heart! Well, you can leave it alone. "


    Later, when what has been said of this thing, jade lotus said, "this child is really spoiled by me, and has the final say for everything. I can''t take care of her when I''m older. I don''t know how to turn the world around when I''m older? "


    Leisurely advised, "children and grandchildren have their own happiness, I look at Tao Liang is a know-how, what do you have to worry about?" Yu Lian sighed, "I have a good idea of my daughter''s character. I''m worried about her temperament. It''s not nice to say that even if she''s a hundred times stronger, I''m not going to share with girls. But how can she be good at marrying someone in the future? Whose mother-in-law can accommodate such a powerful daughter-in-law? "


    This is also true, leisurely had to say, "she is still young, now is the time to express themselves. Don''t twist her too much. If you have something to say, please tell her slowly. Although the child is better, he is not the one who can''t be persuaded. What''s more, one year old and one year old, there are still many years left for her to talk about marriage. Maybe by then, she will have changed her temper without your advice? "


    "That''s all I can hope for now." Jade lotus some helpless smile.


    Leisurely in the letter to Shen Ze, Shen Xi and Tao Liang will open a shop, explain the reason why he didn''t intervene this time. Although Shen Ze has always trusted her, it is better to say something ahead. If some of the servants who are not in the right mind try to stir it up, will it not ruin the couple''s feelings for nothing? Shen Ze''s reply fully praised and agreed with his wife''s foresight. He also said that his two sons should also uphold this belief. When it comes to hard hearted education, they should be hard hearted and never be soft hearted. For example, Kangtai, the eldest, is already a 10-year-old, not a child. It''s time to exercise. It''s better to send them to the barracks and exercise with them.


    Seeing her husband''s letter, leisurely suddenly realized that her eldest son was already ten years old. Also, when she first married to the Shen family, Xi was a child of six or seven years old, but now she is a big girl of her mother-in-law''s family. Usually always feel that life is slow, suddenly look back to realize that time is really in a hurry like water.


    Although leisurely discipline children will not spoil, but really want to send him to suffer, but also some reluctant. He simply asked the servant girl to call Kangtai over, said the matter again, and then asked, "that''s what your father meant. Now I want to ask your will. If you want to go, I''ll ask someone to pack up for you. If you really don''t want to, wait two years. "


    Who knows Kangtai should come down "go, why don''t you go? I''ve wanted to go to the barracks for a long time. I''ve been worried about not having a chance. "


    Looking at his exultation, he could not help saying, "you have to think clearly that the military conditions are tough, and food, clothing, housing and transportation are not as comfortable as home. You don''t enjoy yourself there. Your father will practice you well, and you won''t be allowed to cry at that time. "


    Kangtai snorted, "I''m an adult, so I won''t cry."


    Seeing his son''s yearning, leisurely can''t bear to break his fantasy. It''s about 20 days before the Spring Festival. The two of you are going to come back for the Spring Festival, so you have the right to go to military training as sons.


    So that afternoon, Kangtai followed Shuangfu to the barracks.

 Chapter 477

    Leisurely thought that he was not a child doting person, but he didn''t think that Kangtai left that night and missed sleeping all night. Fortunately, things were busy at the end of the year, which took up a lot of her energy, so that she didn''t feel very hard. In this way, it took several days to get used to it.


    Kangping suddenly lost his brother. He missed him so much that he yelled for him every day. It''s said that Kangtai went to the military camp and muttered something like "father''s partiality". Usually when Kangtai was there, he took his younger brother with him, and Shen Xi would take him occasionally. This meeting Kangtai went to the barracks, Shen Xi was busy with the shop, Xiaokang had nowhere to go, so he had to spend all day in front of leisurely. Leisurely helpless, can only deal with family affairs while freeing up some effort to take him. Xiaokang flat pedal nose face, later directly at night also don''t go back to his yard, on the leisurely bed don''t go. Leisurely also had to turn a blind eye to let him stay.


    In the talent of reading, Kangping is obviously higher than his brother. If Kangtai is outstanding among peers, Kangping is definitely the one who stands out from the rest. It''s just that leisurely doesn''t have any urgent idea of expecting his son to succeed, so he never asks too much for the two brothers in class. Leisurely so also just, but her family that son is also such disposition. Shen Ze often said, "with our family background, as long as they don''t change their temper.". Why do you have to study hard for many years to take the laoshizi imperial examination? Are you tired? "


    Therefore, when they were in the capital, they were criticized by Enron in private. They said frankly that they were wasting their children''s talents. Later, I don''t know what Shen Ze and Enron said, but gradually he didn''t mention these things.


    If you change your parents, I''m afraid you''ll find a good teacher for your child before you leave Beijing. No matter how poor it is, shouldn''t we first find a husband or a college for our children when we come to Fujian? Who''s going to take the kids to the barracks first?


    Life is so not salty, it is the time that Xu came. Mentioning Shen Xi''s shop, there is a sour smell inside and outside the story. Inside and outside the story, it''s just that you are greedy for the 20% bonus of taoliang.


    Leisurely didn''t feel that what Shen Xi did was wrong. Let''s not say that she and taoliang grew up together as children. Fang''s sister can''t match her. Besides, Shen Xi is not stupid. The bonus she gives taoliang is not for nothing. Isn''t it necessary to use other people''s prescription?


    But she couldn''t say these words clearly, so she had to say with a mild smile, "it''s just a small shop. It''s just a small shop. It''s full of profits and losses. Let''s go by herself. If you want me to say that she is not short of money, how nice it is to stay at home quietly? I don''t know if I can make money. It''s just that she''s iron, so let her go. When the children are older, they have their own ideas. I''m not a good sister-in-law to interfere too much. "


    Xu replied, "sister Xi, I''m very lucky to have a sister-in-law like you. You see how good her character is. She is dignified and quiet on weekdays. She is still a bit strong in her heart. Unlike my sister Fang, who is always soft and doesn''t like to go out and talk, I''m really worried. You say, your cousin and I are not so strict with her. Why is this child so timid and dull? "


    Leisurely pondered, "maybe it''s because she''s been with you since she was a child and has little contact with girls of the same age. I watched her doing needlework with Tao Liang these days. She was more lively than before. They didn''t live together before, but now they live close. Let them play by themselves. "


    Wen Yan, Xu''s embarrassed echo a "yes." In the heart is bitter, she that day heard that Shen Xi opened a shop to let taoliang into the gang, but did not have his daughter''s share, in a rage not to let the daughter and taoliang exchanges, which will have the face to go to others? She is willing to face, daughter''s face so thin, how willing to go?


    Leisurely at this time do not know the inside story, see Xu''s face is not good, just think she is distressed daughter, also said a children with her. Later, Yulian came over, and Xu''s face was even more relaxed. He said a few words and left.


    After Xu left, he asked leisurely, "what''s the matter with you two? What''s wrong with it? " She wondered in her heart, didn''t the two families go very close some time ago? I''m going to be a parent-in-law now. How can it look like this. The jade lotus sighed a tone, slowly way "is not for the business of Xi elder sister''s that shop."


    Leisurely frown "Xi sister that shop is just a child tossing play things, how also involved in adults?"


    Yulian replied, "it was nothing to do with us, but when Yang''s sister-in-law saw that taoliang had the bonus from the shop, she thought that taoliang was the one who got in the way, so she didn''t let her come to taoliang to play. Tao Liang went to find Fang''s sister twice, but she came back with a good face. Later, she never went there again. Heaven and earth conscience, taoliang that child you know, although a bit clever, but never do such a shady thing. Now I''ve carried this black pot for nothing, and I''m very sad. I''ve shed tears several times in the dark. "


    Alas, it''s hard for an honest official to break the housework. Xu has always been a little cautious. This is a leisurely look to know, so in those years in the capital, she and Xu have been just to maintain a face. When she came back to Fujian, she was in the same boat. Leisurely usually treated her favorably. I didn''t think that such a thing happened now!


    Yulian said it, wiped her tears, and sighed, "it''s all right. Anyway, it''s over. I think I''ve evacuated my mind when I say it. It''s a big deal. It''s far away in the future. Can''t you get away from us? But my daughter is also the meat on my heart, I am absolutely reluctant to let her go to rub round and flat for others. Anyway, my daughter is still young. It''s not too late to see some things in a few years. Maybe we''ll go back to the capital then. "


    This is to give up brother Ming''s meaning? Leisurely also sighed, "well, the age difference between the two children is a little big. Why can a good girl like taoliang not find a good son-in-law in the future?"


    When it comes to her daughter, Yulian has a spirit again. "This girl, I really don''t know what to say about her. When I was not happy, I wandered around in the street. When I came back, I told me that I fell in love with a shop and wanted to buy it. I went to see the shop once. It''s a little small, but it''s near the wharf. The location is pretty good. This is not, she took the last time did not use the private silver plate down. It''s been rented out. It''s worth sixty taels of silver a year. In the girl''s words, our mother''s money for one year has come out. "


    "The rent is sixty liang? It seems that the shop should not be too small. " Leisurely asked with a smile.

 Chapter 478

    Yulian shook her head and said, "what''s the big deal? The Communist Party of China is only about five meters wide from east to west and seven meters long from north to south. The owner of the original house was in a hurry to use money because of something at home. He had to sell it for 1200 taels of silver. Who would buy such a small shop with so much money? If it wasn''t for the good land boundary and Tao Liang''s insistence, I would not agree with this business. "


    Leisurely back to say, "this is expensive, I let people buy the two shops, the price is not much cheaper than before in Zhuque street. But expensive has its advantages. The rent here is also high. Sixty taels of silver a year is more than just money. Your wife''s daily expenses are almost enough. "


    Hearing this, Yulian said quickly, "thanks to your care, my wife and I have saved the room money with you. You often take extra care of us and don''t give us anything to wear? Otherwise, I can''t save so much money. "


    Leisurely smile, wave your hand and say, "it''s like you didn''t help me. Well, our family won''t make such polite remarks. "


    Two people said some gossip, looking at leisurely here people in and out of very busy, Yulian went back to his room.


    The custom here is not the same as that in Beijing. Generally, after the 24th of December, people will not kill again. Leisurely nature is to do as the Romans do, in advance to let the servants will be used for the new year chicken and duck and other things ready, the air dried, the pickled. Cattle, sheep and other things that used to be common in Beijing are rarely sold here. Fortunately, there are fish balls, seafood and other rare ingredients in Beijing. In addition, because the climate here is mild, there is a temperature of nearly 20 degrees even at the end of the month, so there is no shortage of vegetables and fruits. In particular, all kinds of flowers are competing to open, such as narcissus, orchids, camellia and other colorful flowers, adding a bit of auspicious joy to the new year.


    Shen Ze and his son didn''t come back until December 29. Father and son are black and thin, especially Shen Ze can''t find a trace of fat. Kangtai originally had some baby fat face, but also a lot of thin, leisurely can''t help but feel a bit distressed. However, looking at his son''s energetic appearance, especially his boxing skills, leisurely and proud. This kind of complex and tangled mood, I''m afraid only when the mother can understand.


    As soon as the father and son came back, they busily told the servant girl, "go to the kitchen and stew a red ginseng chicken soup to make up for them." After that, he said to Shen Ze angrily, "you came back late enough. I thought you were going to spend the new year in the military camp."


    Shen Ze took her hand. "Isn''t there you at home? Can we come back? " After that, he reached out and stroked her cheek. "We''re still talking. I''ve seen that you''ve reduced a lot these days. We have just moved here. We have a lot to do at home, and it''s hard for you to keep everything in order for the new year. It''s really hard for you these days. "


    Leisurely smile way "we close husband and wife, say these do what?"


    Shen Ze pinched her face. "I''m in the army with tiger. I exercise every day. It''s normal to be thinner. Why did you lose so much weight? Are you not used to the food here? "


    Leisurely smile back, "I don''t like big fish and big meat. It''s like spring all the year round. Fruits and vegetables keep growing all the year round. It''s just right for me. What''s wrong with me? It''s just that I don''t have much appetite these two days. Maybe there are too many chores and I always feel stuffy and uncomfortable in my chest. Just wait until the Spring Festival is over. "


    Smelling speech, Shen Ze frowned and said, "you, in the town, you can only teach others how to treat yourself so slowly? Since it''s uncomfortable, it''s time to find someone to have a look. You don''t want to ask for a doctor. Aunt Hengli is here. It doesn''t cost much to ask her to help you. " With that, he called a woman to invite Yulian.


    Knowing that Shen Ze and his son are coming back today, Yulian is afraid of disturbing people''s meeting, so she deliberately avoids not coming. Heard the mother-in-law to please, thought there was something big, clothes did not have time to change on the hurry to come.


    When I came to see that the husband and wife were talking to each other over tea, I was relieved and said with a smile, "what the old lady said in the past is not clear, which makes me think there is something important. You two are clean. " Then he looked around and asked, "why didn''t you see Kangtai?" Leisurely smile back to the way, "just came back, busy to learn a new set of boxing for me to see, made sweating, I let him go back to the bath to change clothes. Brother Ping hasn''t seen him for a long time. He sticks to him and goes with him. "


    Yulian said with a smile, "pingge''er has been talking about his brother. This meeting has just met. How can they kiss each other for a few days?" Then he said to Shen Ze, "my brother-in-law is really tired this time. I''ve seen a lot of reduction."


    Shen Ze replied, "it doesn''t matter if I lose a few kilos of meat. I just came back to see that my wife is much thinner. She said that she has no appetite recently, so I asked my aunt to come and feel her pulse."


    The jade lotus saw one eye leisurely facial expression, surprised way "or younger brother-in-law heart is careful, isn''t thin many?"? His face turned yellow. He was fine two days ago. Why didn''t he come here a few days ago


    Leisurely some of his heart faint induction, just can''t be sure. Therefore, he only said with a smile, "Xu is a little tired these days and doesn''t like eating very much." As he spoke, he moved to the imperial concubine''s couch by the window and sat down. He put his hand on the Kang Table.


    At first, Yulian didn''t think much about it. She just thought she was disharmonious with the spleen and stomach. After a while, he suddenly changed his face and changed his hand for a while. Seeing leisurely''s face, he said with a smile, "Congratulations, don''t you always want a girl? Maybe this time we''ll get what we want. "


    One side of Shen Ze also some inexplicable, Yulian said to him with a smile, "Congratulations brother-in-law, and again when the father."


    Although he already has two sons, Shen Ze is still very happy to hear the good news Then she asked, "she just said that she felt uncomfortable and didn''t like to eat. Is it in the way?"


    Yulian said with a smile, "you can just rest assured. It''s OK, but it''s all normal reactions. This will be more than a month, it is easy to have symptoms, after the first three months


    Leisurely again pregnant, Shen Ze naturally is very happy, just in the new year, immediately reward the house everyone a month''s money. After a while, it spread all over the house.


    Shen Xi and Tao Liang just came back from the outside. They had heard that Shen Ze had come back to visit his brother. This time, they heard that his sister-in-law was happy. They rushed to celebrate. Even the elder brother, whom they had not seen for a long time, was put aside.

 Chapter 479

    With this good news, the new year of the Shen family is very happy and lively. It''s just that Shen Ze didn''t spend much time at home even during the Chinese New Year. After the first and second day of the lunar new year, he rushed back to the military camp. If the Japanese pirates take advantage of the slack guard at the seaside during the Spring Festival and take action, it will be a big deal. It is not that similar things have not happened before.


    Although the heart is very reluctant to give up, but leisurely know that this is the other party''s responsibility, so can only restrain the heart of love, personally to Shen Ze pack to send him away.


    It was supposed to be a good day to visit relatives and friends in the first month, but the couple went to the military camp one by one, and the other kept the baby at home and closed the door. The well-informed know that leisurely pregnant, have prepared a gift to congratulate, leisurely mostly to body discomfort to declined. Except for some of the more valuable female dependents, she couldn''t get away from it.


    This is the back of Shujing County, although leisurely do not like each other''s temperament, but Shujing is always a smile, leisurely is not good, too brush her face. I''ve come and gone, and I''ve become familiar with it.


    Shu Jing can be a good wife to her husband, and she is not a good person for nothing. At the beginning, it was difficult to adapt to the change of identity. Secondly, it was provoked by villains. After she calmed down, she was relatively easy to get along with. After all, it''s a precious girl, and she has learned all kinds of hospitality etiquette since childhood. As long as she wants to, it''s easy to make people feel good.


    This meeting, Shu Jing some envy of looking at leisurely stomach, "you say your side life is good also just, even the stomach is also more competitive than the average person.". After I got married, I didn''t move for several years. Later, it was easy for me to have a son, and I lost my body. Now, I haven''t moved for many years. I don''t want too much. I''ll be content to have another daughter. "


    Leisurely some surprised asked "the big girl around you is not born?"


    Shujing shakes her head in a lonely way. "I was born by a servant girl, but she had a hard life. When she gave birth, she didn''t save her life, leaving only such a girl. I took it to my room. However, we are all in the main room. You should understand that no matter how nice the words are, how can we really like the children born by our husband and other women? What''s more, they are either born by themselves or separated by a layer, so they can''t support their parents. "


    This is very reasonable, but leisurely some strange, according to the two people''s friendship, such private words she should not say to herself.


    Leisurely doesn''t know what medicine the other side sells in gourd, so she has to advise, "you are still young. You are younger than me. If you want to have a good life for two years, you may not be able to get what you want. Don''t be too negative."


    Speaking of this, only listen to Shujing some hesitant said, "say here, sister here has a request, also hope sister can help accommodation."


    Because I don''t know the other party''s purpose, leisurely had to say vaguely, "if the county leader has something to say, just say it straight. As long as I can do it, I will never shirk it."


    Seeing leisurely look, Shujing knew that the other party might have misunderstood and said with a smile, "my sister doesn''t have to face the enemy like this. In fact, it''s not a big deal. I heard from a close friend in Beijing that there is a lady Lin around my sister who is very good at gynecology and is very accurate in medication. I wonder if she can help me to have a look?"


    Smell speech, leisurely slightly relieved. Then he pondered, "it''s just that the person you said is not my servant. She''s my mother''s cousin. There were some accidents in the old year, and now she''s not very popular. Well, since the county leader has found me here, I''ll let someone take the county leader there. As for whether she can feel her pulse, I can''t force her. "


    Shujing said with a busy smile, "sister is willing to pull a line is already a great favor, as for the side, it depends on the will of heaven."


    Then, leisurely let the servant girl take Shujing to the courtyard of Yulian. Two people have a tacit understanding, jade lotus will not give leisurely face, personally welcomed Shu Jing into the hospital, gave her pulse, and opened a prescription. Shu Jing saw that what she said was right. She could see many hidden diseases that she didn''t even know about her maid. She couldn''t help being convinced. She was very convinced of what she had said. As soon as she got out of the Shen family, she couldn''t help asking people to take the medicine.


    Seeing this, the servant girl asked, "madam, I don''t know how many famous doctors I''ve invited. I haven''t seen you pay so much attention to it before. How can a little-known village woman pay so much attention to the prescription?"


    Shujing sneered, "most of the so-called famous doctors can''t live up to their names. But these are not very well-known. They don''t look impressive, but they have real Kung Fu in their hands. What''s more, how do you know that this lady Lin is an unknown person? They just don''t want to be famous and deliberately keep a low profile. You know, when she was in Beijing, she was the one who gave pulse diagnosis to the empress. "


    The servant girl was a little surprised. "Give the empress a pulse? Isn''t this lady Lin very good at medicine? Why didn''t you hear about it? "


    Shu Jing didn''t have a good look at her. "I told you, people are deliberately low-key. Even in Beijing, few people know her fame. However, her medical skills were really good. She had helped many ladies who were not well, or she could not go to the palace to help the empress see a doctor. What she gave her diagnosis and treatment was the first-class lady''s daughter. Everyone was just talking in private, and the ordinary people had never heard of it. "


    What she didn''t say was that what this lady Lin showed people were all very private diseases. Even if she was cured, few people would say it. Instead, she gave her a lot of money to keep it secret. Had it not been for her childhood friendship, a close friend might not have told her that.


    Shu Jing took care of her body according to the prescription. After nearly a month, although there was no good news, she had recovered most of her hidden diseases for many years. Especially the small days will never be as painful as before, which makes Shujing secretly happy and comes to Shenfu to thank again. Not only to the jade lotus sent a heavy gift, even leisurely there are also gifts.


    Leisurely look at each other to send a few pieces of cloth, smooth and fine, especially fine soft, better than the previous Songjiang cloth. He quickly took out one and had it made for the whole family. First, I made two suits for Shen Ze and sent them to him. He also took one and made many small clothes and bedding for the fetus in his stomach.


    When Yulian came over, she saw that she was directing Gansong to cut clothes. She couldn''t help laughing and saying, "you are really positive. How old is the child? You start to prepare small clothes."

 Chapter 480

    Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s nothing to be idle, just to pass the time. If they didn''t let me do it, I would like to do it myself. "


    "Oh, my little ancestor is here. Please stop. Just after a few days, I began to make trouble again! You''d better stay in peace. If the pregnancy and vomiting are not enough, who will bear it for you? "


    "Alas." Leisurely suddenly sighed, startled the jade lotus, "what''s the matter with you? It''s not common to groan like this. "


    Carefree curl your mouth, touch your stomach and say, "it''s said that if the child''s gender is different, the pregnancy will be different. However, like the first two, my baby is very picky about food and vomiting. Maybe I''m still a son. "


    Smell speech, jade lotus quite some helpless wry smile way "I think what matter?"? My son is not good? Although I also love taoliang, if she is a boy, I only like her more. Although you have two sons, three are not too many. It''s not that you can''t afford to marry a daughter-in-law without family background. Why do you sigh so much? "


    Leisurely glance at her, some disappointed said, "son has son''s advantage, daughter has daughter''s advantage." With that, she looked at her from head to foot, and her heart was a little hairy. Fang said slowly, "look at you, from head to foot, which is not the girl''s order for you? It''s a good idea to change a boy. I don''t ask you for money to please other girls. Can I buy your head clothes with my own private room? Dream


    Yulian looked at herself. It was really that! Although she often gave taoliang pocket money, but careful calculation, taoliang saved money to buy things for her. This child is really filial!


    She said in her heart, seeing leisurely mood is not good, she knew how to avoid this topic. Then she said, "don''t lose heart. Isn''t it not born yet? I can''t say when I gave birth to a girl! Whether it''s boys or girls, you should take good care of yourself. Look how thin you are. It''s nearly three months, and your stomach is still flat. How can a child like you do well? When my brother-in-law came back to see you so haggard, he didn''t blame me for not taking good care of you? " Then he carefully asked, "do you have anything to eat? If you have something, just say it. I''ll send someone to exchange it for you. "


    Leisurely thought for a time, and then said, "you ask, I really like to eat."


    "What is it?" asked Yulian


    Leisurely and embarrassed, he said, "it''s the pickle that every family used to pickle when we were in Linjia village. Take it out and wash it, cut it into shreds, then add coriander and shredded pepper, and then mix it with vinegar. You''ll drool when you think about it. "


    After listening to this, Yulian couldn''t help helping her forehead. "It''s really my aunt. You don''t want to eat any delicacies, just eat this! If it''s OK in the capital, where can I find pickles for you in the southwest coast? " Jade lotus vomit two words, look at the look of leisurely, make complaints about her. She knew that her ability was hard to find, so she called the housekeeper of Shen''s house and explained the matter.


    As soon as the housekeeper heard that it was something his wife wanted to eat, he felt speechless, but he still didn''t dare to neglect it. He turned around and asked the servant to look for it, but he didn''t find it after two days.


    Coincidentally, Wei and Guo''s mother and daughter came to visit leisurely that day. When they heard the servant talking about it, Guo said with a smile, "I knew my wife wanted to eat this, so I brought it to her. If you want to say that I don''t have other things at home, there is no shortage of them. The couple and the big boy in my family also like this, so when I came here, I brought two jars of pickles. Since my wife wants to eat, I''ll go home and take them. "


    Leisurely busy way "you just come, why hurry to go? Just find a servant to go back. " Smell speech, Guo Shi then orders own small servant girl to take Shen family servant to go.


    After waiting for the servant girl to leave, leisurely some shy way "also don''t know how, suddenly think of eating this, really let you see joke." Wei and Guo quickly waved their hands, Wei said with a smile, "what is this? When a woman is pregnant, there are so many different tastes. I didn''t eat mutton before, but when I was pregnant with my son, I passed by a mutton shop and couldn''t walk all the way. Later, someone bought a leg of lamb and went home. He ate most of it by himself, which surprised Xu Guang. "


    All the people who said it laughed, and Guo said, "your kids like eating meat when they were born. No wonder they are so strong now."


    Wei nodded and said with a smile, "isn''t it? This boy, like his father, has been fond of meat since childhood. It''s not enough for them to eat a roast chicken. Fortunately, the family has been more generous in the past two years, otherwise they would not be able to support this boy. But my second brother is not so greedy for meat and vegetables. If my two brothers can eat the same, my family will be poor. "


    Leisurely smile way "see you say so exaggeration, Xu Guang now at least from five grades, a year''s salary is not a minority, how can so easily eat poor!"


    Guo''s side echoed: "my wife''s family is big, I don''t know our difficulties. What Xu''s sister said is not unreasonable. As the saying goes, "half a kid eats poor Laozi.". There are four members in our family. The head of the family is in the army all the year round. The remaining three members of the family, plus several servants, need four or five taels of silver to eat and drink every moonlight. One year in charge of the family is just a little salary. It''s really not enough without calculation. "


    Are you here to cry for poverty? Leisurely do not want to pay attention to, but also think of people''s livelihood is a major event. In particular, the men of these two families are Shen Ze''s right arm. If their family members feel aggrieved in the long run, and then encourage the men in the family to do something bad, wouldn''t it be difficult for Shen Ze to do it?


    But in the blink of an eye, leisurely has thought a lot. She pursed her lips, and then said with a smile, "you are right. In fact, I also know that the salary of a man alone is barely enough for a family. If you want to save something for your son and daughter, it will be difficult. "


    "It''s just what my wife said. I can only barely get enough food by relying on my family''s salary. I don''t even have enough human relations, let alone the children''s marriage in the future. In fact, we are not so thin skinned, we have to get some benefits from my wife. It''s just that I''m not familiar with my life and land here. I can''t even buy land. I want to do some small business, but I don''t have the brain. So I have the cheek to ask my wife for advice. "

 Chapter 481

    Leisurely pondered, "I don''t have any good methods at the moment. If you have enough money, you can buy a shop here. The annual rent is enough for your family. In addition, a relative of mine sold some goods to the capital a year ago, and agreed to come back after the new year. If this trip goes well, he will sell goods next time. You can earn some money. It''s hard to say if you have more money. You can always earn money from your mother''s money. Or just find a reliable person to do business for you. "


    After hearing this, Wei said busily, "if we have such people, we don''t have to bother my wife." Guo also nodded his head and glanced at his daughter, but he had some other thoughts.


    They stayed for a while, waiting for Guo''s servant girl to come back with pickle pimple, and then they left. Because of the promise, the smile on their faces did not break when they left.


    After the two left, Su he said, "don''t they want to take advantage of our family? Why did the lady agree so easily? "


    Leisurely glanced at her, "OK, I have my own discretion in this matter, you don''t have to worry too much." In fact, she knew that the life of the two families was not as difficult as she said. When Shen Ze came back with the silver, Xu Guang and Chen Shan were able to share two or three thousand taels of silver according to their grades. This time alone is enough for the two families to live for a long time. It''s just that people always want more.


    The Chen family, in particular, sees a couple of children about to get married, so it''s normal for them to think about it. The reason why leisurely agreed was that she was afraid that they would be instigated to do something against discipline and law after they went out, and then the gain would not be worth the loss. Now, it''s just a little bit from her own share. It''s not a bone breaking thing for leisurely. Therefore, she can agree very happily. She didn''t care whether the other family members were jealous or not. First of all, no one else followed them from the capital. Secondly, she believed that they would not be so stupid as to publicize it all over the street.


    After leaving the Shen family, Guo said to Wei with a smile, "my younger sister is not old, but she has many ideas. Sure enough, when you say that, my wife agrees."


    Wei said with a smile, "I''ll tell you. My wife has always been very kind to us. She won''t refuse this little thing. It''s just that it''s not good for others to know about it. In case others all come to make noise, madam, it will become our fault. Therefore, I hope my sister-in-law will keep it secret. "


    Guo echoed: "sister, don''t worry. I know this well." Then he glanced at the girl who had already got on the carriage and said with a smile, "you see, I didn''t even tell my daughter."


    Wei took Guo''s arm and said with a smile, "I know that my sister-in-law is always cautious, but I''m only asking in vain. Since she came here, Jen''s appearance has become more and more vivid. At that time, I don''t know who''s the cheapest kid. "


    But no mother does not like to hear others praise their children, hear each other praise their daughter, Guo''s smile eyes are narrowed into a slit.


    As soon as they were about to go their separate ways, they saw two carriages coming. Wei recognized that the carriage in front of him was the one Shen Xi used to sit on. He immediately said with a smile, "it''s Miss Shen who has come back." Before I heard it, I saw that the curtain of the carriage was lifted up, showing a beautiful smile. "Please send your regards to the two ladies. If it''s not convenient for me to get off outside, I won''t go down to give you a present." This is the corner gate of Shen''s family. Although it''s a little quiet, the street outside is full of people. It''s really hard for Shen Xi to get off.


    They quickly waved their hands. Wei said with a smile, "you''re welcome, are you just coming back from outside? Just now my wife was talking about you. It''s said that I''m preparing my own Rouge shop recently. I''m really capable. Just take care of yourself. Don''t be tired. "


    Shen Xi replied, "thank you, Mrs. Xu. I''m just playing. I''m not tired. It''s a coincidence that I met two of you today. I have a sample of the fat powder I just made. I''d like to send some to the two wives. If you use it well, you have to help me publicize it more. " Say, take two purse from servant girl''s hand, let mother-in-law hand to two people''s hands.


    After Shen Xi''s carriage went in, Wei sighed, "look how old they are. They set up shop by themselves. When I was so old, I only knew how to compete with my sisters. It''s different. " With that, he praised the delicacy of the purse in his hand. When he opened it, there was a delicate porcelain box with white background. Wei said with a smile, "I''m afraid this porcelain box alone will be worth hundreds of money, let alone other ones." Guo opened his eyes and said, "Mrs. Shen is really big hearted. Let my sister-in-law do this."


    Hearing this, Wei chuckled. "It''s said that Miss Shen uses her own dowry silver. I think Mrs Shen can''t manage too much. But Mrs. Shen is kind-hearted. Whose sister-in-law will take care of her dowry before her sister-in-law gets married? Well, I''ll go back to prepare lunch instead of talking to my sister-in-law. I''ll go first. " Her home was closer, so she went home without taking a car with two little servant girls.


    After seeing Wei off, Guo took another look at the eaves of the Shen family and thought of Shen Xi''s gorgeous carriage. Looking at the mottled paint and shabby carriage of her carriage, she sighed to herself that the dowry of Miss Shen should be quite rich. If anyone can marry her, it''s like marrying a god of wealth. As Guo got on the bus, he pondered in his heart. He heard that Lin Zhuangyuan''s family background was very simple, but his wife was rich in dowry. If his eldest son is able to succeed in the examination, he may not be able to propose to the Shen family.


    Leisurely at this time do not know Guo is playing her sister-in-law''s idea, if you know, you will say "Guo An Ren, you think too much." It''s not a leisurely snob who doesn''t like her family. But leisurely heart is not very like Guo''s person, she always feel Guo some son, and although she looks respectful, but in the heart is some despise their origin. In the words of later generations, this person has a natural sense of superiority to his origin.


    This meeting, leisurely also don''t care Guo''s temper character, she looked at the eyes of the thirsty even drink two bowls of tea Shen Xi, helplessly said, "see you thirsty, told you how many times, don''t be too tired. Look at the face you''ve been running back and forth these days. The sun here is more poisonous than the capital, and I''m not afraid to tan myself! "


    While chanting, while still can not help but command the kitchen stew job''s tears lotus seed soup to give Shen Xi to dry health.

 Chapter 482

    Shen Xi didn''t care much and said, "I''m wearing a hat when I go out. I can''t dry it. Besides, the shops are almost finished now, and they won''t be so busy in the future. "


    Seeing that she was so interested, leisurely did not ask too much. If not just in time for pregnancy, and pregnancy is not very good, say leisurely will help, but now she is really lack of energy, can only occasionally mention a few words.


    However, as leisurely expected, Shen Ze''s Rouge shop has been booming since it opened. Although the price is a little higher than that of the other family, the women''s family members are very generous here, and the quality of rouge powder is really good, so the shop soon gained some fame in Rongcheng.


    Seeing that Shen Xi''s shop is booming, Xu''s family, who is easy to calm down, is stimulated again. But Yang Lu is not at home, and others can''t persuade her. Even leisurely thinks that she has become a lot more acerbic recently, but it''s not good to have the same opinion with her. Yulian mother and daughter are far away from her, do not want to provoke her.


    Fortunately, before long, Yang Lu came back with a lot of things. He also came back in an official boat this time, and all the way was quite smooth. In addition, the price of the goods we brought along is very good, so we can''t hide our complacency.


    In addition to some goods, Yang Lu also brought back some gifts from various families in the capital. Leisurely family members, such as his mother''s family, the government, the Han family, Prince Rong''s family and so on, gave rich and valuable gifts in return, and even some of Shen Tian''s gifts. They put a box alone. Although there are not many things, they are also very respectable. Because of this box, on the way back, Yang''s preferential treatment was more obvious.


    Leisurely side let people register, and then regular storage. On the one hand, he picked up some things to send to many people who often walk around in the ordinary days. Because she got a lot of things from Shujing these days, leisurely specially gave her more things this time.


    Shujing received two palace satins from leisurely. She gently stroked the pattern on her head and said with emotion, "when I was in Beijing in the past, my family never lacked these, and I didn''t think they were good things. Sometimes I even feel that these palace satin and palace brocade are only famous, not as gentle as the outer cloth. Later, when I left Beijing, it was rare to see them, so I thought they were precious. "


    Then he looked at the other boxes and said, "although bird''s nests are common in Rongcheng, it''s rare to see such excellent red ginseng and deer antler. Mrs. Shen also has a heart. She can put it away and keep it for medicinal use. "


    The servant girl on one side said, "when I didn''t come out of the cabinet before, why did the county leader lack these? Later, since the old lady left, these precious medicinal materials and cloth rarely came to the county master''s eyes. "


    Shu Jing sneered a little. "It''s also my bad life. My fate with my biological mother and mother-in-law is not enough. When I''m at home, I stand on my stepmother. When I''m out of the cabinet, I stand on my stepmother. " If not for her mother''s family and her mother-in-law''s family did not have an intimate elder to point out, she would not have nearly made a big mistake.


    Seeing that she was in a low mood, the servant girl quickly coaxed her into saying, "the good thing is that our adults have a prosperous official career, and they have been sticking to the main body of the county all these years. This alone is worth the thousands of other shortcomings. "


    Wen Yan, Shu Jing look has not improved much, some lonely pull mouth "can only think so." If it is true that the couple love each other deeply, how did the elder sister come here? This girl is in her own pregnancy, and she has always been healthy. How could she suddenly bleed when she gave birth? She was almost dead? Some things she does not say does not mean that the heart is not clear, just have to bear it.


    Shujing feels her stomach, hoping that this time Mrs. Lin''s prescription will have an effect. No matter whether she is male or female, she will always leave her son a kinship.


    After returning to Rongcheng, Yang Lu was really in a hurry for several days before he sold out all the goods he had sold back from the capital.


    After checking all the accounts, he went to leisurely without any delay. Pass the account book back and forth to you ran. You ran turns over two pages, and you can see that all the expense details are clearly written. It''s just a round trip. Originally, the cost of the three families was less than 60000 taels of silver, but it has more than doubled. Now there are 150000 taels of silver on the book. Although Youran expected a huge return, she did not expect such a huge return. Her capital of 40000 taels of silver has now risen to nearly 100000 taels. Leisurely biting his lower lip, he said, "I know the business is very profitable, but the silver is more than I thought."


    In fact, it''s a coincidence this time. It''s an official boat to travel back and forth. It saves money, not to mention taxes and management fees. Otherwise, we''ll have to pay tens of thousands of yuan for our goods. In addition, after arriving in the capital, Han''s son-in-law and uncle Fang helped to sell most of the goods, and the prices were extremely high. Otherwise, I''ll earn at least thirty or forty thousand Liang less just by my way. It''s just that Han''s son-in-law and uncle Fang are not willing to ask for my filial money. This kind of human feeling will inevitably fall on you in the future. "


    "Don''t worry about these things. I have my own plans," he said Then he explained the plans of Guo and Wei again, and then said, "they all came from the capital with their prime minister. I can''t refute their face. Take them with you in the future. As for the bonus, you can calculate it according to the amount of money they have invested in. "


    Yang Lu is also familiar with this kind of thing, and he has no aversion to it. Although Shen Ze is a high-ranking man, the so-called "king of hell is better than a kid". Some trivial things are not worth mentioning. When Shen Ze is disturbed, he can ask these two people for help.


    As early as before Yang Lu came back, Yulian had entrusted leisurely to help her pull back her own elements. So at the end, leisurely took out the prepared speech and said, "my cousin has a few shops here. The location and price are very suitable. But after all, her private house is limited, and she wants to be safe, so she wants to take out the money and buy another shop to earn rent. "


    Yang Lu frowned and said, "last time, if it hadn''t been for lady Lin''s help, I couldn''t have collected the silver. Why did she suddenly withdraw her shares after earning money and paving the way? Is it hard not to believe me? "


    Leisurely busy way "this is not, but you also know that although the business profit heavy, but the sea risk is also quite big. My elder sister has always been cautious. They are orphans and widows. They are inevitably worried. Therefore, they would rather earn less than be afraid. "

 Chapter 483

    Yang Lu''s intuition is that there are other questions here, but if he doesn''t say it leisurely, he won''t ask any more. Even if the bonus and the capital of Yulian are calculated together, the total amount is 24000 taels of silver and entrusted leisurely to Yulian.


    Then Yang said, "I heard that you were pregnant after I came back. I didn''t prepare anything in advance. Just this time I got a few pieces of aloes in the capital. It''s said that it has the effect of calming the nerves and enlightening the mind. It''s just right for you. You can keep it. " Then he handed a box to leisurely.


    Leisurely took the box and opened it. There were three or four pieces of aloes the size of fists inside. After seeing it, she said with a smile, "it turns out to be a rare black oil lattice. This kind of agaric fragrance is pure and can be used as medicine. But I have a string of Qinan hand strings here. You''d better take it back to your cousin. "


    Yang Lu said, "don''t worry about her. I left two pieces for her. These are for my cousin. You''d better take it. "


    Leisurely Fang said with a smile, "then I won''t be polite to my second cousin. Strange to say, although it''s near qiongdi, it''s very good. You can see the best aloes, but most of them are from foreign countries. "


    Yang Lu nodded and said, "I''ve inquired about it before. It''s said that the aloes and other things in qiongdi are monopolized by several local families. After harvesting the spices, they were sold to the capital and other places. Basically, they didn''t circulate to Fujian, so there were very few eaglewood here. "


    Leisurely nod to show understanding, it seems that no matter when this profiteering industry has a monopoly.


    Send away Yang LV, leisurely then gave the silver to Yulian. As early as before Yang Lu came back, Yulian had asked for a shop. This time, after getting the money, she went to pay the money and bought the shop. She didn''t expect to earn so much, and she wanted to leave some cash in her hand, so the shop she chose was more than 8000 Liang. With so much money, I was so glad that I bought another shop for 6000 Liang. The two shops are not small, and they are located in very prosperous places. The annual rent can add up to five or six hundred taels. Although the profit is far less than Yang Lu''s, Yulian doesn''t want to take advantage of others. Instead, she thinks it''s so down-to-earth.


    Even taoliang, who has always been a financial fan, is quite in favor of this and praises her mother for doing right. Although she likes silver, she has pride in her heart. There was no filthiness between the two families, and she did not want to take advantage of it. What''s more, she was stabbed twice by Xu''s last time. She didn''t say it, and her heart was full of anger. Now that she can clean it like this, it''s just taking advantage of her wish.


    After all, Xu''s troubles spread to Yang Lu, who was also quite helpless. Although he was annoyed that Xu entrusted him with his hind legs, it was the old husband and wife who had been in love for many years. When the children were old again, they wanted to save face for their mother. Can be a private good life, taught her a lesson, let her bring a gift pro to make amends to Yulian. He asked leisurely to make amends to Yulian.


    Are relatives, leisurely also don''t want them to make too stiff, had to mediate from some. Then, when Xu took things to make amends to Yulian, Yulian accepted things, but also magnanimously said that she didn''t care about them. She had some bad feelings in her heart and alienated the Xu family. But Fang''s sister has always been gentle and gentle, and Tao Liang also quite get along, the two gradually play together.


    This season is just in March, when the spring flowers bloom. The climate in Rongcheng is warm again. When it comes to March, all kinds of flower banquets are arranged. The leisurely tire has passed the first three months, and the tire image has gradually stabilized. It''s boring to be at home all day, so she occasionally goes out for a party.


    She didn''t go to these banquets all because she was bored. Shen Xi''s eyes were bigger than day by day. After the new year, she would be eighteen. Although there are a lot of people in Dakang who only get married in their twenties, it''s time to get married at this age. These officials'' wives are also elite. Seeing leisurely go out with Shen Xi all day long, I understand her plan in my heart. Not to mention the others, Shen Xi''s own quality is very likable, so many people who have sons turn their eyes to Shen Xi.


    Especially since Shen Xi opened the rouge shop, more people have paid attention to her. Although the servants of the Shen family were more strict, the news of Shen Xi''s rich dowry still flowed out under the prying of the intentional people. In addition, Shen Ze was in a high position when she was young, and some people with different ideas couldn''t help but hit her. Today, at the dinner party of Xin''s family, Mrs. Xin was very enthusiastic. As soon as we met, she took Shen Xi''s hand and praised her all the time. "Miss Shen is really more and more out of style. Looking at her elegant appearance, she can compare all the girls in Rongcheng."


    One side leisurely listened to this words, only feel harsh, this is not the other people''s girls have been offended! So she quickly said with a smile, "Mrs. Xin is really good at joking. If she is outstanding, where can she compare with your daughter?" Said without trace will Shen Xi pull to his behind.


    All the girls present knew Mrs. Xin''s style. She always had her eyes above the top and felt that her daughter was the best girl in Rongcheng. I''m afraid that I have an abacus in my heart when I praise the Shen girl like this today. All the people have a clear mind, but they are not high-grade, so they dare not speak. More that kind of psychological dark, but is eager to see the Shen family and Xin family out of some dirty, they look lively.


    In the end, Shujing said with a smile, "Mrs. Xin really is! Miss Shen is from the capital. She has always been quiet and used to it. It''s not that our border girls are used to beating and falling. Look at the girl''s face that you are ashamed of. You''d better say a few words


    As she said this, she pulled Shen Xi to her side and pointed to her eldest daughter, saying, "your niece has always admired the prosperity of Beijing, but she followed our husband and wife out of Beijing since she was a baby. I don''t remember anything. I said that she would go to your house to find you, but I''m still shy. It''s so easy to catch you today, so you should be next to her, so I can tell her something about Beijing. "


    So Shen Xi took advantage of the situation to sit on the top of Miss Luo. Naturally, the little girl who didn''t come out of the cabinet would not sit with the married one. With the help of Miss Luo, Shen Xi soon chatted with the girls in Rongcheng.


    Leisurely saw these, in the heart secretly relaxed tone, hurled a grateful smile to Shu Jing.


    Until the end of lunch, it was quiet, and Mrs. Xin didn''t talk about Shen Xi any more. But I don''t know why, leisurely heart always has a bad premonition. Especially after dinner, when Mrs. Xin asked her daughter to take her girls to the garden to dissipate, this kind of bad feeling became more and more. She just wanted to wink at Shen Xi, but she found that she had already turned away. It was hard to call her back in public. But seeing several servant girls beside her, leisurely in the heart secretly steadfast a few minutes.


    As it turns out, her hunch is absolutely right. Not long after that, I saw a mother-in-law of Xin''s family come over in a hurry and said, "no, there''s a young lady falling into the water!"


    Leisurely eyes a Lin, really have a moth!

 Chapter 484

    Hearing the words of Xin''s mother-in-law, all Gao Ming couldn''t sit still. They were so surprised that they stood up one after another. Mrs. Xin asked, "whose girl fell into the water?"


    The woman murmured and said, "I haven''t seen clearly since I was far away."


    "It''s useless," she said Then he took the lead and went to the garden. Others followed him.


    Shujing some worry pulled leisurely sleeve, "my family that is a concubine, it''s nothing, Mrs. Xin to your sister-in-law but quite some thoughts, you have a preparation in mind." Leisurely is quite calm shaking his head, "who fell into the water is not necessarily! Let''s go and have a look. "


    Seeing her face determined, Shujing was a little more at ease, but she still told her, "this Xin family is full of heart. You two should be careful."


    After a few words, they fell behind the crowd. As soon as they got to the gate of the garden, before they could get to the scene of the accident, they heard Mrs. Xin''s sharp voice scolding the servant girl, "how do you serve the young lady? How did you let her fall into the pool?"


    Leisurely look up, just across the crowd to see the graceful Shen Xi, only to see her slightly invisible towards this side to make a wink, leisurely see her nothing, can not help but feel relieved. Seeing that the Gaoming people around gathered their eyes to a place where they were whispering, leisurely, they couldn''t help but follow the people''s eyes. On the edge of the pond, in addition to Xinda girl, who was surrounded by maids, there was a wet young man curled up by the rockery!


    Seeing this scene, needless to say, leisurely has also made up several kinds of "the hero saves the beauty carelessly and abruptly, and the beauty has to agree with each other by example" in her mind. Leisurely slightly squint eyes, such a situation is very similar to harm others and harm yourself. If it''s just a coincidence, if someone set up a plot against Shen Xi, she will never give up!


    The servant girls all cringe, dare not make a sound, only a strength of kowtow to ask a crime. An older Gaoming next to him advised, "don''t be angry, madam. These servant girls can teach you any time. Now you''d better send the girl back to the room first. Although it''s already March, the water in this pool is still very cold. Be careful if the girl gets cold, she will fall ill. "


    When Mrs. Xin looked at her pale daughter with her eyes closed, and at her wet nephew, she felt a surge of anger in her heart. She had carefully cultivated her daughter for so many years. Originally, she wanted to take her to climb a high branch. Now, such a thing happened, and her future is over.


    She closed her eyes and waved her daughter back to the room.


    Just now, everyone was very glad that it wasn''t their daughter who had an accident. Now seeing Mrs. Xin''s face, they were afraid that they would be implicated, and they made excuses to leave.


    Leisurely see Shen Xi no accident, also don''t want to do more stay in this land of right and wrong, put Shen Xi to his side, ready to leave.


    But before they came out of the garden, Mrs. Xin called, "Mrs. Shen, Miss Shen, please stay."


    Smell speech, leisurely brow a frown, then as if nothing had happened of turn head to ask "how? What else can I do for Mrs. sheen? " Those Gaoming, who were going to leave, stopped one after another when they saw the excitement.


    Mrs. Xin hummed coldly, "naturally, it''s something that calls Mrs. Shen and her party." Then he pointed to the maids kneeling on the ground and said, "our maids have all said that it was Miss Shen and my maid who stood by the pond to feed the goldfish just now. Why did my girl accidentally fall into the pool, while Miss Shen was unharmed? "


    The inside and outside of these words are obviously accusing Shen Xi!


    Leisurely doesn''t know the details, but she believes that Shen Xi''s character will never harm others for no reason, so she immediately smiles and doesn''t ask, "what does Mrs. Xin mean? This is Xin''s garden. In case of an accident, Mrs. Xin is not happy to ask her servants how to let the master fall into the water because of dereliction of duty. Instead, she is questioning the guests here? Mrs. Xin has been bothering our family for several times. Is it because she is dissatisfied with our Shen family? Or did general Xin complain that Zhuo Fu was in charge of the military power in Fujian? My husband''s duties are all from the saint. If general Xin really has any objection, why don''t you just give the saint a compromise? Why do you have to take the reputation of a girl''s family? " Listen to a few words of Kung Fu, leisurely will today this matter to military and political affairs up, Shu Jing heart secretly admire. In the past, the Xin family relied on their own foundation here to be her husband. Now that they have seized the opportunity, Shujing naturally doesn''t mind falling into the well. By the way, she can get a good job in leisurely. So she immediately asked, "that is, Mrs. Xin is too overbearing in her work! We saw that Miss Xin was frightened when she fell into the water, so we gave Mrs. Xin some dignity. I didn''t expect that Mrs. Xin would do something wrong now. I didn''t ask just now. Now that it''s a dinner party for women''s families, why did a man come in the inner courtyard of Xin''s family? I didn''t know that the entrance guard of general hall was so lax before! "


    At this time, Shen Xi said, "when I was in the capital, I even attended a banquet in the Palace once. Today is a big eye opener. Miss Xin, it''s hard for you to give birth to the host. You''re just entertaining the ladies who come here. You''re still trying to trouble me. I don''t have a lot of opinions about her upbringing. It''s true that so many people here look at it. Even if they don''t say it, they must know it. I''m different from the girl who is used to being bullied by Miss Xin. My wife doesn''t have to think about giving me a big hat. Although I''m only a branch of Zhongguo government, I can''t be bullied by any cat or dog at will. "


    Then she pointed to the two strong maids around her and said, "before I came here, the eldest princess heard that the people here were fierce. For fear that I would be bullied, she gave me two palace maids who could do some Kung Fu. Mrs. Xin asked me just now that I was standing with ling''ai. Why did she fall down and I didn''t get hurt? It''s because they''re holding me in time. Look at their dresses. They''re both soiled by the mud near the water. If it had not been for them, who would have fallen into the pool now? When Ling AI wakes up, Mrs. Xin might as well ask her, originally she was standing behind me, how suddenly she passed me and fell into the water? I almost fell in. Now I''m afraid to think about it! "

 Chapter 485

    Mrs. Xin didn''t expect that Shen Xi was so clever when she looked at Wen Jing. She said that most of the people had believed in her. The thoughtful one has already guessed the course of the matter. Most of it must be that the Xin family wants to calculate Shen Xi. However, Shen Xi still has Kung Fu palace maids around him. Instead of harming others, his family suffers. It''s really stealing chicken that doesn''t eat rice!


    Seeing that everyone had whispered to her mother and daughter, Mrs. Xin was angry, but she didn''t get angry on the spot. Instead, she said in a soft voice, "it turns out that there are such capable people around Miss Shen. It''s my daughter who has a hard life. People are useless and can''t get help from people around her. She fell into the pool. Unfortunately, she was ruined by others, and now she has to be pointed out. My daughter''s life is really miserable


    Leisurely listen to this, really be angry not light, this person is really very tricky! Now it''s time to pull Shen Xi. She took a deep breath and sneered, "Mrs. Xin, you don''t have to show off here. You know what''s right and what''s wrong in this matter today! I think all of you present, Mrs. Gao Ming, have a clear heart! Just now my eldest girl has already saved enough face for your family. You have to be reluctant! Well, I''ll ask you again, why did a man come into the inner courtyard where the wives gathered? Is someone deliberately put him in, or is the access control of Xin''s family so loose that men with different surnames can go in and out of the inner courtyard at will? "


    There were many people who had old grudges with Mrs. Xin. Wen Yan immediately sneered and said, "Mrs. Shen said this very well. No matter what the situation is, I dare not come to Xin''s house. It''s not a coincidence to think about this. Last year, when the girl of the Liu family came here to participate in the flower fair and played on the swing, she accidentally fell down and was cut on her face by sharp stones


    When someone started, there were more people who agreed with him. "That''s right. A few years ago, the former Zhonglang family''s daughter was scratched in the face by the flower cat that came out of the house suddenly."


    Shujing felt her chest and said, "it seems that Mrs. Xin''s house is not clean. It''s time for Mrs. Xin to clean up her garden."


    For a moment, Mrs. Xin was speechless. She leisurely took Shen Xi to Mrs. Xin and said, "so many" coincidences "have happened in your mansion? It seems that Mrs. Xin doesn''t look like she will explain to us. It''s not good for us to force ourselves too much. We''re just doing it. We''re looking at the sky. "There''s a God in the sky." if we walk too much at night, we''ll always meet ghosts. Even though Mrs. Xin is not afraid of private retribution, she should think more about it for her future generations! "


    Finish saying, carrying Shen Xi''s hand also don''t return of walk. Seeing this, the rest of the women followed, but for a moment, the garden, which was still bustling, became quiet. People have lowered their heads to do quail like, even the atmosphere did not dare to out, for fear that this time will make the master unhappy.


    Rao was so angry that she kicked the servant girl several times. Then he pointed to her nephew and scolded her.


    After returning home, leisurely first wrote a letter and sent someone to send it to Shen Ze. With the style of Xin jiasuri, I''m afraid it''s hard to do good today. I''m afraid general Xin will trip Shen Ze. She has to tell Shen Ze.


    That night, Shen Ze asked Shen Jiang to send a reply in person, telling leisurely to let her just let it go. Although the family members also need some communication, there is no need to be too weak. You can do whatever you want, as long as you have the word "Li".


    So leisurely prepared for the next move of Mrs. Xin. When she was reading the palace newspaper, she came across a piece of news that the prefect of lezhou was praised by the Emperor himself for his outstanding achievements during his term of office. Seeing the news, she wrote a letter to Enron, asking people to rush it to the capital.


    After more than a month, there was no action from Mrs. Xin. On the contrary, I heard that Miss Xin was married to her nephew at a very fast speed.


    Then Mrs. Xin came to Shen''s home with a lot of gifts to compensate aunt leisurely, and invited several Gaoming to accompany her. She sincerely apologized, in front of the public, leisurely, although the heart diaphragmatic should, but also had to make a look of ice. In the heart is secretly alert, she intuition Xin family will never be willing to bow to admit wrong. Sure enough, not long after that, there was a rumor that Shen Xi was "unruly and shrewd and could not save himself when he saw death". Although it''s nonsense that someone knows the inside story, the rumors spread quickly, casting a layer of dirt on sister Xi''s reputation.


    This leisurely husband and wife are extremely angry, just wait for leisurely to see the letter from my brother on the desk, feel a lot of peace. Then the old story of the big girl of the Xin family, who was jealous of killing many girls, was shaken out again, and the story of Mrs. Xin''s killing the concubines and the eldest daughter-in-law Xu was poked out! The common son is limited to the internal contradictions of the Xin family, but her eldest daughter-in-law is involved in the Xu family.


    The Xu family is not a military family, but a family of civil servants. Xu''s grandfather used to be governor of Fujian. At the beginning, the official position of Lord Xin was a little lower. In order to climb up, the Xin family begged to marry Xu''s granddaughter for their eldest son. Later, before they got married, Governor Xu died. Xu''s family had to go back to their hometown to keep filial piety, and Xu''s father and brother were temporarily idle at home. At that time, general Xin made a great contribution to the war. He was promoted from the fourth grade to the third grade, and his power gradually increased.


    Looking at the decline of the Xu family, Mrs. Xin looked down on her eldest daughter-in-law. Later, after the Xu family got married, she rubbed her hands in every way. When she was pregnant, she deliberately raised her servant girl to her son saitongfang, which made Xu''s pregnancy depressed. She died early before she had to give birth. At that time, Xu''s father had not yet recovered, and Xu''s hometown was far away. When their family received news that someone was coming, Xu''s family had been buried. Even though the Xu family was suspicious, they had to hate each other. Before he left, he took away Xu''s dowry, and there was no contact from then on.


    Now the eldest son of the Xin family''s stepmother has given birth to two children. The more powerful general Xin has been in recent years, most of the people who know this are silent, and the world is gradually forgetting it. Now the old story is brought up again, and the Xin family is also very active. In particular, Xinda''s grandmother had a lot of attacks at home.


    Xin family this chicken flies dog to jump is to divert the attention of the people of Rongcheng very much, the rumor about Shen Xi gradually subsided. In addition, Shujing and the people of Dingnan Bofu all help her to say good things, which at least brings back Shen Xi''s reputation.


    General Xin has always been afraid and short guard. Seeing that his wife has been so wronged, knowing that she has done something wrong, he can''t help but help her find the place. So in a few days, general Xin wrote a memorial to impeach Shen Ze for his corruption and dereliction of duty!

 Chapter 486

    In general Xin''s opinion, no matter how much the emperor trusted Shen Ze, he had to stop his military duties before sending Imperial Envoys to investigate. This time, it will take three or four months. In such a long time, he can do more.


    But general Xin didn''t fully understand Shen Ze''s character, or he didn''t see Chu''s decisive decision hidden under Shen Ze''s polite mask.


    General Xin didn''t know that the servant who sent the memorial to him was taken care of before he left Rongcheng. He''s still waiting to see the reaction of the emperor, and he doesn''t know that his subordinates have had an accident.


    Leisurely here don''t know oneself mutually Gong has already made a move, in the heart to the Xin family exasperate, to Shen Xi even better. Just in time for the Dragon Boat Festival, according to the Convention, the female family members of the government will go to the seaside to participate in the annual Dragon Boat race.


    Although Shen Xi has always been open-minded, but a while ago those messages in the end are a lot of harm to her. Leisurely weekdays in every way to comfort, but still looking at her a little bit of emaciation down, the heart is also very distressed. On this Dragon Boat Festival, leisurely specially took pearls and gems, so that people gave her two sets of extremely delicate new faces, and took the latest materials to make some clothes for her.


    In order to give Shen Xi a surprise, leisurely deliberately did not tell her ahead of time. This day, when she came to invite her, she deliberately said, "it''s windy today. Look, your bun has been blown out of order. Go to the interior and ask Su He to comb it for you again." Su he has always been skillful, and his craft is inferior to that of the servant girl beside Shen Xi. After listening to his sister-in-law''s words, Shen Xi didn''t think much, so he sat down in front of the dressing table in the inner room and said to Su He, "thank you, sister Su He."


    Su he said with a smile, "girl, I don''t think I''m rough." As she spoke, she took apart Shen Xi''s bun, and then said, "the wind by the sea is not softer than the wind in the capital. Although the girl combs the bun today, it''s beautiful, but it''s easy to blow. How about a maidservant wearing a flying swallow bun for the girl? "


    Shen Xi said with a smile, "that''s a good feeling. I remember when my sister-in-law didn''t get married, she also liked to wear a flying swallow bun. At that time, she thought it was very good-looking. It''s just that the servant girl beside me is clumsy and doesn''t look good when she combs it. I can only make do with it. "


    Su he looked at Shen Xi''s servant girls with a smile. "That is to say, the girls have a good temperament. They are tired and lazy one by one. No matter how stupid they are, it''s better to practice a few times. How can the master make do with the slave?


    Shen Xi joked, "my elder sister is so skillful and capable that they can''t even compare with half of my elder sister. If my elder sister is willing to follow me, then I don''t want them. As long as my elder sister serves me alone, I''m afraid my elder sister won''t give up."


    In the outside leisurely hear this, smile back to say, "what is this reluctant? I can''t wait for this. There are always about ten servant girls around you. The monthly sum is nearly ten taels of silver. If you only want Su He to pay her two liang of silver a month, you can save eight liang of silver a month. I don''t want any more. "


    Shen Xi said with a smile, "let''s make a deal. From now on, sister Su he will be with me. I don''t want anyone else. Let''s just let it go."


    Although this is a joke, leisurely knows that Shen Xi is holding a fire in his heart. Since her former servant girl came out of the cabinet, none of the others could stand up. They were either too clever or extremely stupid. Otherwise, Shen Xi would not be in such a situation in Xin''s house that day.


    Today, hearing Shen Xi''s words, both inside and outside, he meant to beat his servant girl. Leisurely, he said with a smile, "that''s a good feeling. A few days ago, the front yard manager also said that there are about ten guardians in the family now. I''m worried about where to find their daughter-in-law. If you change all these servant girls, you will save more than half of the trouble. "


    After hearing this, Shen Xi''s maids said, "I''m sure I won''t be lazy any more. I''ll try my best to take care of the girl. Please don''t change us."


    Shen Xi sneered, "I''ll know if I''m going to beg for mercy. What did I do earlier? How many times have I told you that I should learn more when I know I''m stupid. I can''t even learn how to make a bun. What can I do with you? " When he said this, Shen Xi had a smile on his face, a bit like a joke and a bit serious. But this is not exaggerating at all. Her several servant girls looked at each other, but they didn''t expect that their master would be in trouble suddenly. Shen Xi''s expression was unpredictable. They were not sure whether it was a joke or serious. Just as they looked at each other, Su he said with a smile, "OK, girls don''t have to scare them. Look, they are scared white." Then he told several servant girls, "girls, you should be more or less kind. As slaves, we should try to be ahead of the master in everything. Do you want the master to always mention us? "


    One of them said, "what sister Su he taught me is that the maidservants will learn from her more and dare not be lazy any more." The others followed suit.


    As he speaks, Su he has already combed Shen Xi''s hair. Then he opens a box on the dresser and takes out some jewelry to help Shen Xi put it on. After looking around, he said with a smile, "it''s just the girl''s beauty that sets off such bright jewelry."


    Smell speech, leisurely came to have a look, smile way "my eye is really good, this style is lining Xi sister."


    Shen Xi felt the little Phoenix hairpin on his head. Although it was small, it was very delicate. The small phoenix tail is divided into three strands, each of which is inlaid with several pearls of different sizes, while the Phoenix mouth is carrying a string of fringes of ruby and tourmaline, which is hanging down Shen Xi''s eyebrows, which makes her more picturesque and charming. Shen Xi also said to Su He with a smile, "sister Su he really said that she combed my hair. Why did she put on my sister-in-law''s jewelry again? It''s my sister-in-law''s good intention to have such a delicate face designation. Be careful that she beats you. "


    Su he said with a smile, "girl, I dare not deal with my wife''s kindness at will. This set of headgear is a new one that my wife just asked me to give to you recently. How do you like it


    Shen Xi to leisurely way "such exquisite thing I naturally like." Then she felt the conspicuous red treasure and pearl on the hairpin, and said in a lonely way, "is this just too conspicuous?"

 Chapter 487

    Looking at Shen Xi''s thin face, she could not help feeling distressed. She patted Shen Xi''s hand and said, "what''s the matter? Huaguduo''s age should have been bright and pretty. What''s more, your brother is a senior member of the second class. In the boundary of Rongcheng, which lady''s status can be higher than you? If you don''t dress up, it''s hard to be inconspicuous? Although the style of our family has never been arrogant and domineering, it can not be easily underestimated. You listen to me and dress up beautifully. If there is someone who doesn''t have eyes and dares to offend you, just go back. My brother and I will support you! "


    Then he took out a brocade box and handed it to Shen Xi. He said with a smile, "this is the best Nanzhu that your brother just sent this morning. Now it''s too late for people to make jewelry. You should take it first. The last time I saw a set of chrysanthemum head in the jewelry shop, it''s still exquisite. You can go back and have a look. If you like it, people will use it to wear it in mid autumn. "


    Shen Xi was not that kind of weak and deceiving temperament originally, but he was frustrated for a while, and he couldn''t be relieved. Now seeing that his brother and sister-in-law all love her so much, he feels warm and boisterous. At this moment, she felt that as long as there was a family, she was not afraid of the rumors outside.


    On the day of Dragon Boat Festival, the grandstand beside the wharf, which was specially set up for the women''s families of the government, had already been enclosed with curtains. It was full of tables and chairs, and it was clean and spotless. According to the experience of previous life, the last thing is to arrive at the end, so leisurely estimate that people are almost there, then Shi Shi ran and Shen Xi arrived. My aunt and sister-in-law arrived late, and both of them were dressed up to attend, so they attracted the eyes of most of the people present.


    My aunt and sister-in-law are not bad at all, so they are even more charming. Most of the women on the scene were still unwilling to have a bad relationship with the Shen family, so they praised them one after another. Shujing pulls Shen Xi to her and says to leisurely with a smile, "you''re really a pain in the neck when you''re a sister-in-law. You can compare us old bones if you''re so good at treating my sister-in-law."


    It''s not that she is leisurely and arrogant. Among the girls in Rongcheng, she is really no better than Shen Xi in terms of appearance. In addition, she was raised by Han''s side in the government since she was a child, and her demeanor is also better than others. In a word, in leisurely''s heart, her sister-in-law is the best. Thinking like this, she said modestly, "the county leader has said that she is still young, but the county leader is so gorgeous that she is not old."


    Shen Xi also said with a smile, "my sister-in-law always tells me that among the Gaoming of Rongcheng, the county leader has the most noble style. I always want to learn more from you."


    Shujing took the handkerchief to cover her mouth and said with a smile, "Oh, no one has praised me like this for a long time. Today, your sister-in-law and I are all praising me like a flower." Then he praised Shen Xi''s jewelry: "today, the face is really exquisite, and the filigree is also exquisite. The little girl is still dressed so brightly." Then he pointed to his concubine, "I don''t like the red one in my family. I don''t like the vulgarity of the red treasure. I chose this set of pearls." He said with a smile and pushed the concubine, "look, aunt Shen is wearing this red treasure. Is her face vulgar?"


    Luo was also a little smart. She knew that her own mother wanted to flatter Shen Xi. She immediately said with a smile, "mother, just tell me. You see how smart aunt Shen is. Her skin is white and tender. She can match any color. My face is so black that it doesn''t look good on anything. "


    Hearing this, Shen Xi said with a quick smile, "your face is not black, just a little red. You are still young. If you can eat more whitening food, the longer you are, the whiter you will be


    No matter how old a woman is, there are few who don''t love beauty. Hearing that there was such a whitening prescription, Miss Luo rushed to Shen Xi and said with a smile, "what kind of food can whiten? Tell me, aunt Shen


    Shen Xi said, "everyone''s constitution is different, and the ingredients they need are not the same. I have a girl from a relative''s family who is good at this. In the past, my skin was a little yellow. Later, after drinking the stew for two or three years according to her prescription, my skin became much more white and tender. I''ll ask her to feel your pulse and make a prescription for you


    Miss Luo did not immediately respond, but secretly looked at her own mother. Shujing sighed in her heart and said with a smile, "is sister Xi talking about the girl under lady Lin''s knee? I only know that her mother''s medical skills are superb. Can she see a doctor? " Leisurely Yingying said, "she doesn''t have such consummate medical skills, but since childhood, she has been influenced by some basic pulse conditions. Young girls like to dress up, they also have the spare time, usually study flower powder more, they have accumulated a lot of skin care methods and experience. You ask our servant girl, which hasn''t been chased by her, it''s impossible to prescribe medicine. But at least it''s not in vain. These maids are very healthy, and very few of them are ill. "


    Shujing said with a smile, "no wonder your servant girls are so smart. They have a knack. Tomorrow, I''ll find a way to do it. I''ll try my best to bring out the water spirit that our servant girl has trained. I''ll go out and look at it, and my heart will be bright. "


    Their two families here, you and I, plus a few of the side of the female family members flatter make fun of, talking and laughing very lively.


    Some flatter, others hate. Needless to say, Mrs. Xin''s face has been numb since she and her party came in. These days, everything goes wrong with the Xin family. Mrs. Xin, who has been well maintained, has a few more fine lines around her eyes. Seeing that leisurely is in the limelight today, Mrs. Xin wants to make a few sarcastic remarks. She wants to hear her husband''s name before her arrival, so she has to suppress her anger and sneer in her heart to make your family proud again. When the imperial court''s will comes down, you will cry.


    In addition to Mrs. Xin, there is another person full of hatred for Shen Xi. Yang''s wife has always followed Mrs. Xin''s lead, so she naturally sat next to Mrs. Xin on such occasions. The eldest girl of their family watched Shen Xi from head to toe several times. She felt the little Phoenix hairpin on her head. It took her aunt a long time to make a new face for her. She also had a gem the size of a lotus seed embedded in it. Although the gem is not big, its color is a rare peach red. Before Shen Xi arrived, she was a little bit in the limelight with this Phoenix hairpin.


    As a result, Shen Xi came to her and grabbed half of the limelight. Shen Xi was very delicate from head to toe. Not to mention the head, the collar button is also gold inlaid with red treasure. Even the slightly exposed embroidered shoes are decorated with peanuts. Unlike her, except for a phoenix hairpin, other jewelry are mostly plain gold or gilded, let alone inlaid with beads.


    Thinking of this, Miss Yang gently held the little Phoenix hairpin beside her temples and said to her sisters, "it''s just a common face of red treasure. What''s so strange? I don''t like red gems any more. How old-fashioned

 Chapter 488

    Her voice is not small, and people around her have been paying close attention to the movements of the Shen and Xin families. So this word, the field immediately quiet down. Her words clearly and loud spread to leisurely several ears.


    This is too low-level, leisurely first annoyed, she glanced at Miss Yang''s position, and then sneered back. Then he said to Shen Xi in a low voice, "it''s just some clowns. You don''t have to see her in the same way. You see, this man is designated to lift a stone and hit himself in the foot."


    Then he glanced at Mrs. Yang''s head and saw a hairpin inlaid with red treasure shining in her hair. Sure enough, Mrs. Yang''s face turned black after listening to the concubine''s words. As Miss Yang''s direct mother, even if she was no longer in favor, she could not allow a common girl to make fun of her. As soon as Miss Yang''s voice fell, she heard her mother scold, "don''t ask Hu Qin! If you can''t speak, don''t talk nonsense. There are so many ladies here. Do you have your share in talking? "


    Yang''s aunt was old and not very popular, so she didn''t dare to offend Mrs. Yang either. She immediately silenced her voice and lowered her head.


    Next to Mrs. Xin chuckled, "common women are common women, and only the side room will like pink and peach, and their eyes are just like that." Then she complained to Mrs. Yang, "I''ve told you many times that I want to take out the shelf of your main room. Don''t be too vertical. Look, even a common girl dares to run wild on your head now! You''re so disheartened. You''ve given birth to two sons. You can''t even handle the side room. It''s a joke to tell them! "


    After listening to this ridicule, Mrs. Yang only felt that her chest "Teng" gave birth to a group of anger, and other people''s jokes were behind her back, so you were the only one to laugh at me face to face? Why do you come here to tell us about our family affairs?


    Mrs. Yang spent a lot of energy to suppress her anger and forced out a smile to say, "what madam said is true."


    Not far away leisurely just witnessed this scene, she thought that the Yang family is the most loyal supporter of the Xin family, and Mrs. Yang has always been Mrs. Xin''s follower. Today, it seems that there is no gap between them. Mrs. Xin, who has always been smooth in the public, didn''t give Mrs. Yang any face. It''s a habit to see that. Although Mrs. Yang pretended to be indifferent, her fist clenching was still leisurely seen.


    The Yang family has been in contact with the Xin family for many years, and Mrs. Yang may know something about Xin. Leisurely thought in her heart. She shook the fan in her hand. It seemed that it was time to find someone to check Mrs. Yang.


    Leisurely thought so much that he didn''t even know when the dragon boat race started. It was not until she heard all kinds of cheers that she regained her mind. She saw that everyone had focused on the sea. At the critical moment, the strength of the two teams is equal and surpasses each other from time to time. The competition is extremely fierce. The quayside is full of all kinds of loud cheers, gongs and drums. You can forget your thoughts and watch the event attentively.


    After the Dragon Boat Festival, leisurely asked his servants to check Mrs. Yang''s background. Soon, there was news. Mrs. Yang is not as generous and virtuous as she seems. It''s not that she is cruel. But in the process of being a housekeeper, she didn''t cut the money from the public into her pocket. After all, there are more than a dozen aunts in Mrs. Yang''s family, and their maid and mother-in-law make a lot of money every year. However, the owner of the silk shop where the Yang family used to buy clothes was Mrs. Yang''s brother. If there was nothing fishy about it, I would never believe it again.


    Mrs. Yang''s maiden name is Li, and her brother is a sophomore at home. Unfortunately, her elder brother died young, so she took over the Li family''s business. The old man of the Li family used to work in the army, but later he retired after being injured. He relied on the contacts he had accumulated in the army to get an idea of Quartermaster business. Later, after Mr. Li went, Yang Er took over the business of the Li family. Li Er was flexible in his work. With his brother-in-law''s rising step by step, the business of the family has been growing over the years.


    Leisurely also inquired that Li Er was hard to be born by his mother. Later, Master Li married a stepmother. This steproom is very harsh and slow to the children left by the original spouse. Later, after the steproom gave birth to her own children, it was even worse. The death of Li''s eldest brother seems to have a lot to do with this steproom. Li Er, who was still in his infancy at that time, survived thanks to his elder sister''s care. The stepmother wanted her son to inherit the property of the Li family very much, so she always regarded the Li family, who had sacrificed her life to protect her younger brother, as an eyesore. Later, when it was time for Li to say goodbye, he convinced Li to marry him to conductor Yang, who was still a gangster at that time. It is estimated that she did not expect that commander Yang also had some good fortune. After he went to the army to do a calligraphy, he was promoted step by step. Now he has reached the fourth grade.


    Well, that''s a bit far. Although Li Er Su is very flattering to his brother-in-law because of business needs, he also has a lot of dissatisfaction with his brother-in-law, who is always flirting and making his sister sad. Otherwise, he would not help Li to get money from the Yang family. According to the information inquired by my servants, Li erpingri is quite honest and trustworthy. He has a bottom line in business and often helps the weak. He is quite chivalrous.


    It''s just that all these are hearsay, which is not accurate. Leisurely pondered for a long time, find Yang LV, let him think of a way to contact Li Er.


    Yang Lu went to see Li Er Yi Hui from the beginning and said, "I''ve seen a lot of big and small businessmen over the years. Except for individual people, those who do business are basically able to talk. Li Er is also very good at chatting, but what he says is of high standard. He doesn''t just exaggerate. He knows that he has read books and has real material in his stomach. It''s really a Confucian businessman. "


    Leisurely smile to ask "that compares with cousin how?"


    Yang Lu said with a smile, "I''m much better than me. I''m just a little more touched by your family. I''m afraid I''m far inferior to the second master Li in terms of ability and ability." Then he said, "this man is very clever. As soon as I show my identity, people will know what it is for. He said immediately that his parents and sisters always wanted to come to see you alone, but they had no chance. "


    Carefree gently rubbed the cup in his hand and said in a soft voice, "commander Yang has always been general Xin''s right arm. Naturally, Mrs. Yang is not easy to make friends with our family in public. It''s just that I don''t know whether Li Er''s words are true or not. "

 Chapter 489

    As soon as the leisurely voice fell, Gan song came in and said, "madam, the wife of commander Yang has come. She said that she has come to compensate for her."


    "It''s really Cao Cao! Look, your front foot just went to see Li Er, and his back foot''s sister came. I don''t know what kind of medicine they sell in gourd. " Leisurely said to Yang Lu.


    Hearing the speech, Yang Lu said to her, "I guess their sister and brother must have passed the anger. Since she came here, she must have made some decisions in her heart. Go and have a look." Then he got up and went out.


    Leisurely he took him to the door, turned his head and asked, "where is Mrs. Yang now?"


    Gan answered, "I''m waiting in the front hall."


    Leisurely nod, hand stroked hair bun, "go, let''s go to meet Mrs. Yang." Although she had seen Li many times in the past, Li was always silent and inconspicuous with empress dowager Xin. The only thing that impresses people is the weather that has been eroded by years.


    After arriving at the front hall, Li saw leisurely come over, stood up and said with a smile, "I''m here presumptuously. Please don''t blame me, madam."


    Leisurely back to the way "what is this word? It''s my pleasure that Mrs. Yang will come. " While talking, he took her back to the chair and sat down. He found a seat to sit down.


    At this time, the servant girl brought the tea and said with a leisurely smile, "this is the spring tea that my adoptive mother''s sister brought from Lu. It tastes different from that in Fujian. How about Mrs. Yang?"


    According to Li''s words, he took a sip of the tea cup and said, "the aroma of tea is really refreshing!" Then he lowered his head and took two sips, praising that "the tea in the north is still sweet and mellow, unlike the tea here, which is really nostalgic."


    Leisurely did not think much about it. There are goods from the north and south of Fujian. It''s not unusual for Li to drink Lu''s tea. He just said with a smile, "it seems that Mrs. Yang has drunk this kind of tea before."


    Li was silent for a moment, then said with a smile, "have you ever had a drink? My wife may not know that my grandfather''s family is from Ludi. When I was young, I took my younger brother to live in my grandfather''s family for several years. I didn''t come back here until my grandmother died. "


    It turns out that your younger brother once lived in the hometown of Confucius and Mencius for several years, and my cousin always praised your younger brother for his Confucian businessman style. That''s why. "


    Li said with a bitter smile, "my brother actually has some talent in reading. When he was ten years old, he was already familiar with the four books and five classics. Unfortunately, he never had a chance to go to school again after he came back, so he was delayed. Now, as a businessman, although he doesn''t worry about food and clothing, he is easily looked down upon after he goes out. "


    Leisurely see her look a little lonely, he advised, "the past things are in the past, Mrs. Xin also don''t have to think about it, now that the family is good, let the children work hard and make progress, if you can test a fame back, it is also a good thing to glory."


    After hearing this, Li took a deep breath and said, "now that I''m talking about the children, I won''t beat around the bush with my wife. I think my wife has long heard about my husband. I''m so old, and the children are looking at me. I don''t want to take care of him. But now he wants to take my daughter to the Xin family, but I can''t stand it. No matter how dandy the third young master of the Xin family is, I can''t let my daughter jump into the fire pit just for a mother-in-law like Mrs. Xin. "


    Leisurely gently shakes the fan in her hand. The last time she went back to the Xin family to make Shen Xi''s idea, she asked someone to check the third son of the Xin family. She knew that he was a dissolute son who ate, drank, prostituted and gambled all kinds of things. He usually did evil in the city by virtue of his family''s power. Otherwise, she would not have been forced to marry Shen Xi because of her bad reputation. In fact, now leisurely also don''t know what''s wrong with that. Xin Sanjing, who should have dived to "save people", has been replaced by Mrs. Xin''s nephew. It''s just that the Xin family is powerful and won''t let their children spread such a bad reputation. In most people''s words, the Xin family is modest and polite. Thinking of this, she asked with a leisurely smile, "why does Mrs. Xin say that? Although I have never met the third young master of the Xin family, I also heard that he is a mild tempered young man. Besides, the Xin family has a great career. If you''re not afraid to worry about it, you''ll still be able to climb up the ladder. "


    Li zhengse said, "madam, you don''t have to tempt me. What''s the situation in Xin''s family and what kind of bastard Xin San is. I think madam knows better than me. Their family''s reputation is rotten now. Who will marry their daughter in this Rongcheng area? "


    Leisurely asked, "excuse me, even if there is no suitable one in Rongcheng, how many neighboring cities? How could Mrs. Xin wait until today to mention it if she had met Ling Qianjin early in the morning? " As far as she knows, Mrs. Xin has always loved her young son and always wanted to tell him about a wealthy young lady. I''m afraid she doesn''t like the Yang family.


    Li said with a sneer, "she naturally wants to tell her son a good marriage, but now she is waiting, but her son can''t wait." With that, some hard to say in a low voice, "I got reliable information from Xin''s family. Xin San got that kind of dirty disease, and the doctor said that it would be difficult to recover."


    Leisurely frown "and this? I didn''t know at all


    Li''s wry smile "this matter Xin family conceals the iron bucket general, if not her family a servant once received me an idea favor to reveal this matter to me, I also can''t know." Then she said angrily, "Mrs. Xin used to dislike my daughter''s cowardice, but she thought she was easy to handle. She wanted my daughter to marry and live as a widow. I can think of her abacus. If her son gets well, my daughter will not be able to live. She appointed to find a girl of higher rank for her son. If her son is gone, my daughter will be the culprit for her son''s death. Even if she is lucky enough to live, it will be the end of her life. Horizontal and vertical is not good! I will not let her succeed even if I fight for it. "


    Leisurely sigh way "this marriage event in the end depends on the meaning of parents, Yang commander has agreed to this marriage?"


    Li sneered, "what he won''t agree to, general Xin promised him all kinds of benefits, and sent a Huakui from Tianxiang building. Don''t say it''s a daughter, even a son can''t bear it! "


    With these words, Li suddenly knelt down to leisurely, "please help my poor daughter!"

 Chapter 490

    Leisurely didn''t guard against Li''s sudden appearance. She was surprised. She couldn''t take care of the others. She squatted down and helped Li up. "Mrs. Yang, why? Let''s talk about it slowly. We really don''t need to give such a big gift. "


    Gan song and Su he came to help Li get up. Li touched his eyes with a handkerchief and said with a wry smile, "if I were not desperate, I would not ask my wife to come here. To tell you the truth, madam, I don''t want to live with my family for a long time. It''s just that my mother''s family is declining, and I have to take care of the children''s future. That''s why I have to give up for so many years. Now, he is determined to die. I don''t care about his ending, but I''m afraid it will affect the children for nothing. "


    After saying this, Li bit his lower lip and whispered a few words in leisurely''s ear. Leisurely was shocked by the words. "It''s not a small matter. Can''t you be joking?"


    Li shook his head and said, "how can such a thing be taken as a joke? If you don''t know it, you can''t do it unless you do it yourself. He will be punished sooner or later for doing so many cruel things. If I don''t say it, governor Shen will find out sooner or later. I still said that, I don''t care what he will do, I just don''t want the children to be involved by him. "


    Leisurely asked, "what do you want?"


    Hearing the speech, Li closed his eyes, then opened them and said firmly, "as long as he can die a little clean, I can hand in the evidence I have collected over the years. The evidence is enough for the Xin family and him to die hundreds of times. "


    Leisurely didn''t promise immediately. After all, it''s very important. She sent li away with her front foot, and then sent someone to invite Shen Ze back.


    Shen Ze''s servants only said that there was something urgent at home. Shen Ze thought that leisurely''s body was OK. When he came back and saw leisurely sitting there, he was relieved. "Those boys, I can''t say a word clearly. I thought it was you who didn''t feel well." As he spoke, he collapsed on the chair.


    The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Shen Ze has been soaked with sweat since he came back all the way. Leisurely see his hot sweating, while wringing PAZI to wipe his face, while people give him tea pour water. Seeing her busy, Shen Ze grabbed her hand and let her sit beside him. "OK, you can have a rest. You''ve been busy since I came in. How tired you are. Let the maids do it. You can talk with me. What''s the matter with calling me back in such a hurry? "


    Leisurely sent out all the maids, and handed a cup of warm tea to Shen Ze with his own hands. "You should drink some water to quench your thirst first." Shen Ze took two mouthfuls of the cup and drank it.


    Seeing that he had finished drinking the water, he leisurely told Li''s story and finally said, "I don''t think it''s a trivial matter. I can''t tell the truth of Mrs. Yang''s words, so I invited you back to discuss with you."


    After hearing this, Shen Ze pondered, "I guess it''s very possible that it''s true." Then he said to leisurely, "do you remember the time when we met in Linhai City when you came here?"


    Nodded leisurely. "Of course, I remember that you only said that you had official business, and I didn''t ask much. It''s a very important and secret thing to just think about designation, or you won''t run to the boundary of zhezhou. " At the end of the speech, he was surprised and said, "is it hard to be? Are these two things still related?"


    Shen Ze nodded back and said, "if Mrs. Yang doesn''t lie, there''s a big connection in it. Although the suppression of bandits in the last round was a complete victory on the surface, according to the confessions of the prisoners, it should have been several extremely important Japanese pirates'' leaders, and a large number of gold and silver disappeared. I was so easy to find a little clue, along the search has been to Zhejiang, but suddenly broken. Later, there was no harvest. Now I think it''s really hard to guard against internal thieves. At the beginning, the people who went to Zhejiang with me were selected by thousands of people, but they must have mixed in with the spies, otherwise the good clues would not have been suddenly broken. "


    Just as he was about to go on, when he saw leisurely''s protruding stomach, he suddenly softened up. "Forget it, leave the rest to me. Just take care of the baby and don''t worry about these messy things." While talking, he put his hand on leisurely stomach and asked with a smile, "is this baby good? Have you been bothered these days? " Leisurely smile way "the baby can be good recently, a bit also did not toss a person, I can eat can sleep, you see my face is round up."


    Shen Ze felt her cheek. "How fat? It''s just a little bit more meat than before. I happened to see other people''s pregnant daughter-in-law. They are all fat like buckets. Look at you. It looks like they are seven months pregnant? It''s like I can''t afford you. "


    Carefree touch your stomach "I eat a lot, every day when I open my eyes is a variety of tonic soup, what bird''s nest, snow clam, donkey hide gelatin do not eat less, is not long meat also can''t help. But fortunately, it didn''t grow much meat, or it would have become a bucket waist in your mouth, and I don''t know what it would be like to be abandoned! "


    Smell speech, Shen Ze helplessly touch his nose, pregnant woman''s nerve is really sensitive, a little inattentive to say the wrong thing. He said with a smile, "you''re joking. No matter what you become, my heart for you will not change. It''s too late to hurt. How can I dislike you?"


    A word is finally leisurely and to coax happy "well, you can talk."


    Shen Ze stood up with a smile and said, "I''ll take a bath first, change my clothes, and then go to the study." Leisurely got up and asked, "will you leave in a moment or tomorrow morning?"


    Shen Ze patted her on the shoulder. "There''s something else to deal with in the Yamen here. I''ll stay at home for a few days and then go back to the barracks and have dinner together in the evening."


    Looking at each other''s back, leisurely always feel that something is wrong, think for a long time to remember, before clearly not talking about the Japanese pirates? Why did you suddenly change the subject?


    She had no choice but to pat her head and was taken away by someone!


    Shen Ze took over the Li family and the Xin family''s affairs, and refused to let leisurely hold half a snack. Although leisurely in the heart remembers, but also knows that compared to these things to the belly of the child is more important, had to let Shen Ze arrangement.


    Yang Lu has prepared the goods to the capital early in the morning, but he has not been able to help leisurely a few days ago. This meeting leisurely had nothing for him to do, so he came to say goodbye, "I want to take advantage of this meeting to go to the capital to sell these goods, and get some rare goods here, and try to come back before mid autumn."


    Leisurely way "although the time is a little tight, but almost can come back.". It''s just that the weather on the sea is unpredictable. If it''s really stormy, don''t just go on the road and lose your life. "

 Chapter 491

    After listening to leisurely words, Yang said, "don''t worry, I''m not a hairy boy. I know it in my heart."


    The cargo and the ship were prepared early in the morning, so after Yang Luhe left, he was ready to leave. Before leaving, he specially enlightened Xu: "it will take me at least two months to go back and forth. You take the children to live here. Don''t be too competitive in everything. Although cousin is good-natured, you should be grateful and contented. Don''t find yourself unhappy if you have nothing to do. "


    Xu was still not satisfied. "When did I find myself unhappy? That time I was just for the sake of Fang''s injustice! In this house are all the same table girl, not to mention Xi sister Shan and Tao good, even the maid women also like to flatter her. It''s not that I said, how old is this taoliang girl, that she knows how to bribe people with small favors. It''s really treacherous! "


    Yang Lu said, "OK! The more you talk, the more shameful it is. How can you do that? It''s easy to say what''s wrong with other people''s children. I look at Tao Liang very well. When I was young, I had my own ideas. I made a decision when I was in trouble. In the future, I can''t say that I have a good fortune. But we, sister Fang, have been taught by you to know nothing about the world, and whether we can protect ourselves in the future is unknown! "


    Although Xu agreed with this in his heart, he didn''t accept "who said that? Let''s talk to sister Fang about a good family then


    Yang Lu sighed helplessly, "why don''t I hope our daughter can find a loyal family in the future to avoid the competition from her mother-in-law''s family? However, people in the world often know people and face, but they don''t know their heart. There are so many good people outside and treacherous people inside. How can they be so easily distinguished. That''s why I often say, "how good is it to let sister Fang walk around her and learn more knowledge and skills while living in the same house with her cousin?"


    Xu pouted and said, "my aunt and sister-in-law are both partial to taoliang, and my sister-in-law Fang is a sullen gourd. I''ve been wronged in the past. How can I feel distressed?"


    Yang Lu rubs his eyebrows. This woman is not sensible, and she wants him to teach these things in the inner house. What a headache! Well aware of Xu''s temperament, he immediately denounced, "OK, I see that it''s not good to have a tired sister Fang with a mother like you."


    Hearing this, Xu felt wronged and said with tears, "how can I make trouble? It is clear that they are partial to taoliang. Why can''t I say that? "


    "What is eccentricity? Ah? A belly out of the thick and thin, that is called eccentric! If nothing else, taoliang''s mother''s surname is Lin, and her cousin is a sister of the same clan! As for us, we are foreign relatives, and we are far away from others! You still don''t want to take your daughter to walk around. Do you still want to be invited? Who are you? What''s your face? To be a man, you have to have self-knowledge. " Yang Lu spluttered. Seeing that Xu was still there, he wanted to get angry, but he couldn''t start. He had to whisper, "don''t feel aggrieved. Think about how many courtiers and children are spending money to trust their relationship. It''s hard to meet their cousins. You are a common people. If you can meet every day, you will be satisfied! There are taoliang there, you don''t just blame others eccentric, put taoliang himself aside, people her mother how capable ah! How many women''s families of high officials and noble families have been cured of hidden diseases, and they have been to the palace to see the empress. If you have the ability of others, your cousin will look up to you. So don''t blame people for being partial, just because we parents don''t have the ability! "


    Xu took a handkerchief to wipe his tears and said, "if you say this, you look down on yourself too much. Even though I have no ability, what have you done for my cousin these years? Without you, she would have earned the money? "


    Hearing the speech, Yang Lu frowned and said, "I say you always feel aggrieved. The root is here! Together, you are fighting for your husband! " Said self mockery smile, "you really look up to your husband!"


    What''s wrong with Xu''s indignation? Am I right? How much effort have you put into helping your cousin all these years? How can our daughter not be as valuable as a widow''s daughter? I don''t care for you


    Yang Lu said with a wry smile, "I naturally know that you love me, but fortunately you didn''t say it outside, otherwise people would treat us as a joke. You think your husband has the ability, but you don''t know that if you don''t have the power of your cousin''s husband and the old relatives of your cousin, I can''t do this business on my own. " Xu does not believe that "so many people do this business, how can others do it and you can''t do it?"


    Yang Lu shakes his head and says, "you have shallow eyelids, and you still feel aggrieved. Which of the businesses that are doing well have no support behind you? Do you think it''s really all on your own? If it doesn''t matter, can I get on the official ship when I went to the capital a year ago? Save along the way of filial piety taxes, not to mention, the official ship is also a first-class security. You go out to inquire about how many of those private merchant ships were robbed by pirates? Those who have lost their goods and silver are very lucky! It was my cousin who helped us to do these things. If not, there are many capable people in their family who can do it by themselves. Why do you have to ask me? Don''t think that other people have taken advantage of us. What''s really happening now is that we are in the spotlight of other people. "


    Seeing that Xu lowered his head and said nothing, Yang Lu said ruthlessly, "you can''t go on like this in the future. If you can''t carry it clearly, just go back to the capital with me. There are still fields and houses in Hengli''s hometown. You can take your children back with you. "


    From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality is difficult. Over the years, Xu has been used to the life of a servant girl, a carriage and a sedan chair. She is no longer willing to let her go back to deal with the earth. What''s more, she also wanted to tell her son and daughter a good marriage. If she returned to the countryside, how could she have such conditions now? So he quickly swore, "master, don''t worry. I used to be confused and didn''t make things clear. Now I understand what you said, and I won''t do it again. Not to mention the others, our elder brother Cheng has just settled down in the Academy here. Is it a mistake to go back and forth? "


    Yang Lu just beat her. She won''t really let her go back to the capital. Not to mention the others, if their wives really left, how could they be a lonely man living in their cousin''s house?


    This kind of beating can be said to have an immediate effect, soon, leisurely aware of Xu''s change. In the past, I didn''t go back. Now I come to talk with my sister Fang every day. From time to time, I pay homage to some melon and fruit snacks on the market. Although they are not worth a few dollars, they are very happy to receive them.


    Even to the mother and daughter of Yulian, Xu''s attitude is a lot softer. It''s not the last time''s kind of soft face, but the real soft heart. Yulian is a good person, and she will not hold her airs when she is soft. Several families often get together to talk and joke, but they are more harmonious than before.


    This day, leisurely is reading in the room, suddenly Su he quickly walked in and said with a smile, "madam, go to see it, madam Luo has sent a lot of gifts."


    Leisurely is a frown, "this is not the festival, how suddenly send a gift?"

 Chapter 492

    Su he replied with a smile, "it''s a happy event! Mother Li, who came to give the gift, said that Mrs. Luo was pregnant again, so she sent a special gift to thank her wife and aunt


    Leisurely look a loose "this is really a happy event, but it helps what, also dare not take credit, you let people send things to the cousin yard."


    Su he replied, "Mrs. Luo has already arranged it. The present is divided into two parts. There is something for my aunt alone."


    Leisurely Fang said with a smile, "that''s good." Then he pondered, "I guess there is no lack of bird''s nest in Luo''s house. You take a box of snow clams and red ginseng that we just got, and add two suitable things to let mother Li take them back. It''s said that Mrs. Luo is very happy. It''s reasonable that I should come to the door to congratulate myself. But I''m not going to come to the door because I''ve been a little sick recently, so that I won''t give it to Mrs. Luo when I get sick. " Su He promised to take care of himself.


    Mother Li didn''t see leisurely, but she didn''t care much. Today, besides sending gifts, her most important task is to ask Yulian to come by as ordered by her master. It happened that Yulian had nothing to do at home, so she went with mammy Li. But I didn''t want to go, but I just caused a disturbance.


    But this is later, here leisurely busy to pregnant Shujing gift. In the capital, someone is also preparing something for her.


    In the storeroom of King Zhou''s mansion, Princess Zhou looked down at the list and asked, "are you clear? When will boss Yang leave? "


    A servant girl on the side replied with a smile, "I''ve asked. I said that when I first came to the capital, I had to throw out the goods in my hand. I can''t leave until the goods are sold out. How could it take ten days and a half months?"


    Princess Zhou nodded and said, "find a steward to have a look. If there''s something that our family can use, we''ll buy some back. It''ll save him time wandering around. Let him leave early when he''s done, and take back what I gave my daughter-in-law as soon as possible. "


    The servant girl covered her mouth and said with a smile, "lady is really joking. Mrs. Shen hasn''t been born yet. How can you know that she must be a daughter?"


    Princess Zhou waved her hand and said, "you don''t understand. I have feelings in my heart. It must be a girl in her stomach." Then he said with a smile, "I remember when I was pregnant, I was given a set of nine links in white jade and twelve zodiac animals carved in jade in the palace. They were put in my private library. You can find them later." Then he pointed to the things on the shelf and said, "take this, this and that, take them down, and the ones I just found out. All of them should be carefully wrapped and packed in boxes, so that boss Yang can take them with him before he leaves."


    The servant girl estimated for a while, and the things that Princess Zhou said were enough to hold three or four boxes. In her heart, she wiped a sweat silently for Yang Lu, which was brought by their master alone. In addition to the things of the government and the Lin family, I don''t know if the boss Yang''s boat can still have some space to load?


    Yang Lu was not worried about the goods this time. Before he came here, he had discussed with you ran. The common goods in the capital, such as red ginseng and pilose antler, are rare in the southwest coast, and the profits are also high. So this time, the main thing is to get some valuable tonics, which the dignitaries over there are scrambling for. It happened that there was a shop selling these things in rongwangfu in Beijing. Yang Lu took leisurely posts and letters to rongwangfu and got the goods at a very affordable price. In addition, there are some high-class official silk, official kiln porcelain and so on. Foreigners like these things. These things are of high value and occupy little land, so there is enough space to carry things for leisurely.


    In Shangshu mansion of the Ministry of official affairs, Han Jin went to the backyard to greet Meng. First of all, she praised, "the dress my mother is wearing today is really exquisite. You are several years younger, and the Pearl''s head is also exquisite. It doesn''t look like the craftsmanship in Beijing."


    Meng said with a smile, "your eyes are poisonous too. This is what your sister youyou just asked someone to bring back from Fujian. The head was beaten by the craftsman, but she made the clothes herself. She said that I couldn''t come back when I was born, so she made two clothes for me. In addition to this set of honey color, and a rose purple, all bright tight, I tried this, just ready to change, you saw


    Han Jin replied, "my mother is still young. It''s just the right color to wear. It''s much more beautiful than the autumn fragrance and the royal blue. The embroidered orchid is also exquisite. It looks smart." Meng stroked the embroidery at the skirt and said with a smile, "isn''t it? This craft is embroidered by youjieer herself. No matter how delicate other people''s needlework is, it doesn''t have her aura. " He said with a sigh, "there are always people who talk about partiality. If there is anything good, they are willing to send people to Fujian thousands of miles away, rather than scatter them around. The person who said this was red in eyes, I hurt her, but I didn''t think about why I hurt her. So far away, she has a big stomach. Even if she doesn''t make clothes for me, can I choose her gift? Although our family is not a prince, what kind of clothes do you want? But she did it by herself and sent it to me. Are these two clothes what I lack? It''s not that I value her. You can only exchange your heart with your heart. You just want me to be careful with my liver by the perfunctory three or two flattering words. How can that be a good thing? "


    Han Jin knew that her mother was criticizing the concubines in the family, and quickly coaxed her: "they are all shallow skinned. Why should her mother have the same opinion with them? One by one, I''m old enough to go out. After that, my mother will be clean. "


    Meng sighed, "I hope they don''t want to compare with you, but it''s their fortune to have half of your eldest sister."


    Then he told Han Jin, "although your eldest sister is a commoner, she is also the eldest daughter of our family. Now she has given birth to her eldest son for her mother-in-law''s family. I don''t care how they used to bully her as an elder. I can''t do that again. It makes people think that our Han girls have no support from their parents! It''s not good for the rest of your sisters. "


    Han Jin said with a smile, "yes, my mother complains, but she still loves her sisters. Don''t worry. I''ll let people beat the second and third rooms of the Zheng family these days. But the old lady of their family is not a vegetarian either. If it wasn''t for her supporting in the back, it''s estimated that the second room and the third room couldn''t be so arrogant. "


    Meng nodded, "you don''t have to worry about the women''s family. If you have me, I''ll clean up the two men first."


    As the two women were talking, the young man beside Han Shangshu came to reply, saying that the emperor had some important business to discuss with several Shangshu, and he had left Han Shangshu to eat in the palace.


    The mother and the son looked at each other, and Meng rubbed the teacup. "I haven''t heard of anything important in the court today." Then he looked at his son and said, "it''s a long time for you to come back. It''s time to go to the princess''s house. Don''t let the princess forget. Youjie has something for you. You can take it back with you. There is also an idea that she specially filial piety gave me. The taste of silver needle is excellent. I remember that the imperial concubine and empress also like this taste. You can take a jar back and ask the princess to send it to her in the Palace tomorrow. By the way, please have a chat with he

 Chapter 493

    Mother and son heart to heart, Meng said, Han Jin heart understand. Although my father can bring news when he comes back, the palace of the former dynasty and the back Dynasty are close. Sometimes some insignificant changes in the palace can foretell many things.


    Han Jin goes back to the princess''s house next door and shows her daughter-in-law what leisurely gives her. As a princess, Le Yisheng always boasts of her extraordinary knowledge, but she always finds some surprises when she sees the things leisurely gives. She looked at the lavender pearls in the brocade box and said, "I''ve seen many pearls since I was a child. I''ve seen purple pearls, but it''s the first time I''ve got such a whole set of purple pearls. Our sister Yi is so polite. She always gives such valuable things, which makes me feel a little sorry. "


    Han Jin said with a smile, "my sister is not an outsider. If I give it to you, just keep it. Don''t think about it. I''ve heard from my mother that my sister is pregnant again. If you really feel bad about it, you can pick up a gift for someone to take. It''s also a token of your heart. "


    Hearing this, Yue Yi said with a smile, "sister Yi is really lucky. She has two legitimate sons. This time she has good news. It''s good for both men and women."


    Then he touched his stomach and sighed, "it''s a pity that my stomach doesn''t hold up. I haven''t heard from him since I gave birth to my eldest brother. The elder brother''s body is weak. He was born in seven disasters and eight difficulties. I always feel sorry for his son-in-law. "


    Seeing that her eyes were red when she spoke, Han Jin quickly helped her wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and coaxed her into saying, "what are you talking about? As soon as we had a big brother, we caught up with Guoxiao, which is very lucky. Besides, it''s common for children to be frail. I see that elder brother is much better now. In the past six months, he seldom gets sick, isn''t he


    Yue Yi nodded and said, "yes, it''s also thanks to Yi Jie. The doctor Huang she recommended before she left is really skillful, and is even better than the imperial doctors in the palace. I didn''t see him prescribe many expensive prescriptions, but a few common herbs combined with dietotherapy made my elder brother much healthier. I used to have a fever in the middle of the night, but now I haven''t been sick for more than half a year. In the past, drinking too much bitter medicine soup in the hospital did not have such a good effect. "


    Han Jin said with a sneer, "those people in Taihu hospital, besides the two imperial doctors, have some medical skills. Other people just make a Taiping prescription. It''s useless to find them in case of any emergency."


    Husband and wife said some gossip, Han Jin by the way told Le Yi into the palace to and Princess please. After dinner, they were just about to go to bed when they heard the servant come back and say, "Han Shangshu has something important to ask Han Jin to come over."


    Smell speech, Han Jin "Teng" sit up, look dignified to Yue Yi way "so late, my father must have something important to discuss with me, I go to have a look. You go to bed first. You don''t have to wait for me. "


    Princess House and Shangshu house are separated by a wall. For the convenience of communication, a corner door is specially opened between the two houses. Han Jin put on clothes in a hurry and came to Shangshu mansion from the corner gate.


    Han Shangshu is already waiting in the study. When Han Jin goes in, he is having a meal. Although imperial food was given in the palace, in front of the emperor, no minister dared to open his stomach.


    Seeing his son coming, Han Shangshu finished the porridge in a hurry. Han Jin quickly took a handkerchief from Xiaosi and sent it to her father in person. "The emperor left you in the palace so late, but what happened in the palace?"


    Han Shangshu waved his hand to let the boys retreat, and then said in a deep voice, "it''s nothing serious. Censor Zhang told me that he was ill and didn''t go to the Grand Court meeting today. The emperor specially sent the imperial doctor to visit him. Although the imperial doctor didn''t say it clearly, he estimated that the situation of censor Zhang was not good. Zuodu censor can''t be done by anyone, so the emperor specially left us for discussion


    Han Jin personally made a cup of tea and handed it to her father. "Zhang Yushi is nearly 70 years old, which is expected. It''s this time again. I''m afraid it''s just the heart of the emperor. "


    Han Shangshu inclined his eyes with a smile. "They are all the people who are fathers. They speak so rashly. Can you arrange them at will?" Han Jin said with a smile, "my son is just saying this to my father. I won''t say this again when I go out. Who does the emperor want to take over the censor station? "


    Han Shangshu took a sip of tea and said, "the heavenly power is unpredictable. Even if the emperor has something in mind, he won''t show it easily. It''s a discussion, but it''s just a trial. "


    Smell speech, Han Jin frown way "we this Saint suspicion is also too heavy some."


    This time, Han Shangshu didn''t reprimand his son any more. He just took the lid of the teacup and flicked it a few times. "It''s too high to be cold. No matter how generous people sit in that seat, they will be suspicious for no reason, let alone... Although this makes us act without any reason, we may not be able to turn bad things into good things if we make good use of it."


    Not to mention how the father and son planned to put their own hands in the change of Yushitai. Leisurely here is still ignorant of the changes in Beijing, Shen Ze stayed in the city, but the day back to the barracks. Now Shen Xi has taken over all the family affairs, and taoliang and Fang start to fight. Leisurely, I have nothing to do but read books and practice calligraphy.


    On this day, both Yulian and Xu were talking here. After a while, the porter handed in a post saying that it was Mrs. Chen and Zhang Yiren who came to visit. Leisurely some puzzled "Mrs. Chen, I know, Zhang Yiren is which family?"


    The old woman replied, "it''s Zhang Tongzhi''s wife."


    This time leisurely more puzzled, Zhang Tongzhi is a civil servant, and their family has never been very moving. Why did you suddenly come to your home this time?


    No matter how confused, the visitor is a guest, leisurely is still polite to welcome them in.


    When Yulian and Yulian heard that the guests were coming and wanted to leave, they leisurely stopped and did not let them go. "Mrs. Chen is not a stranger. Since she is the one she brought, she is not an outsider. Let''s meet together."


    Xu was eager to meet such an opportunity of long-term knowledge. Hearing the words, he quickly agreed, "that is, we can''t easily meet the wife of a fellow scholar in ordinary times. It''s good to have a chance to have a knowledge."


    Seeing her saying so, Yulian had to stay.


    After a while, they came in under the guidance of the servant girl. Mrs. Chen first said with a smile, "I know that my wife likes the thousand page cake of Fangji. I went to buy some specially. I happened to meet Zhang Yiren. I heard that she also wanted to come to see her, so I came with her."


    Leisurely and Zhang Yiren have seen each other before, but they are not very familiar with each other. After a few words of greeting, they sat down as guests of honor.


    Just as it happened, Zhang Gongren was sitting diagonally opposite Yulian. She took her eyes and looked at Yulian twice. Then she asked with a smile, "this lady looks a little similar to her wife''s face. I don''t know what to call her?"


    Although her face was full of smiles, leisurely heart felt that there was something wrong with the smile.

 Chapter 494

    Leisurely intuition each other some bad, so specially said, "this is my mother''s cousin, not out of the cabinet with me has always been close, this time also with me to Rongcheng." She specially pointed out that they were close to each other, thinking that if they had any bad ideas, they could be restrained.


    It is said that Zhang Tongzhi is still a relative of Princess Zhou''s mother''s family. After leisurely coming here, Princess Zhou specially told her that she had eaten the filial piety of this family on weekdays, which is a bit of friendship, but this person often behaves in a wrong way. If she really does something that touches her interests, it doesn''t need to be too soft hearted. At that time, leisurely thought, where can they be involved in the difference between the two families? As a result, people came to me today.


    It''s a pity that not everyone in the world has the ability to adapt to circumstances. At least Zhang Yiren doesn''t have it. After listening to leisurely''s words, the corners of her mouth split even wider. "No wonder I see that this lady is similar to Mrs. Shen. It turns out that she is her mother''s sister. That would be better! " While talking, he kept an eye on Yulian.


    One side of Mrs. Chen to see her look at the jade lotus is not right, the heart is also straight make mutter. Although she brought them, they didn''t really have much friendship, but they met by chance, and the other side deliberately came forward to make a few words. Zhang Tongzhi happens to be in charge of local academic administration, and Mrs. Chen also wants to make a good relationship in advance. Therefore, when she heard that Zhang Yiren wanted to meet you ran, she enthusiastically introduced her. Zhang Yiren''s style is not right. He can''t help but secretly regret that if he offends leisurely, what''s the use of his son''s being a scholar? Is the final examination going to the capital?


    At this time, when she heard Zhang Yiren say this, Mrs. Chen said subconsciously, "what''s better about this


    Zhang Yiren Yang said with the handkerchief in his hand, "it''s not that lady Lin is really outstanding. That day, she was just shown by my master in the backyard of the magistrate. It took me a long time to find out that it was Mrs. Shen''s relative. I heard that she is a widow now, so I was sent to ask for marriage. "


    Before her voice fell, Yulian could not sit down. As soon as she was about to get up, she could not hold back her eyes. Leisurely in the heart is also extremely angry, waiting for Zhang Yiren to finish, but smile Yingying asked "marry? Since then, only mingmatchmaker''s legitimate wife can use this word. Is Zhang Yiren here for Zhang Tongzhi? Do you want to make peace with Mr. Zhang? "


    Zhang Yiren choked and said with an uneasy smile, "it''s not my slip of the tongue. My master wants to make lady narin the second room." Joke, she followed her husband hard for half a lifetime, it''s so easy for her husband and wife to live a five grade life. How can she give up her wealth to others? If her husband didn''t insist on her coming, how could she be willing to accept a baby for her husband?


    Zhang Yiren murmured a few words in his heart. Suddenly, he heard the sound of "Dong". He put the teacup on the table and said, "hum, er Fang! It''s a good plan for your family! The law of Dakang doesn''t recognize the mess of the three wives and four concubines of the previous dynasty, but only the first wife. What kind of concubines are not the first-class concubines after all? Qitong business! Now as if it were raining flowers, I really entered your family, and I was not going to has the final say. Don''t say it''s my mother''s sister. I''m still dependent on the Lin family. Even widows who are lonely and helpless outside would rather set up their own women''s households than be small for others. "


    Leisurely has not been so angry for a long time. In a rage, I feel some tumbling in my stomach. She touched her stomach with her hand and took a deep breath. After a little recovery, she said, "I don''t care what plot your family has. Seeing that Lord Zhang is a relative of Princess Zhou''s family, this matter has been exposed. If from now on, let me hear half of the rumors that are harmful to the reputation of my Lin family, Lord Zhang will be the end of it! "


    Zhang Yiren saw leisurely angry, also was surprised, all said this lady is a and angry? It''s not like the style at all! She said with some injustice, "since my wife knows that my Lord is a relative of the princess, I heard that my wife is very close to my mother. Why don''t you give me any affection?"


    Leisurely sneer "if it''s not for the face of the empress, you can''t stand here now. OK, I have also said what I should say. I''d better keep my words in mind and don''t try to challenge my bottom line. Well, it''s not a short time for pleasant people to come. I''ll stay soon! " Zhang Yiren is still a little unconvinced. "It''s just a sister, not a sister! I''ll go back and write a letter to the lady to judge if she doesn''t give me face like this! "


    Leisurely don''t care back way "pleasant just go back to write! How could the Grand Prince Zhengfei not even have the ability to distinguish right from wrong? There is also a face to mention Niang, you are not obvious in this style is to discredit Niang''s face? With my understanding of Niang Niang and such shameless and dirty calculation, she won''t give you two mouths to scrape. It must be because it''s too far away to reach. "


    "You, you..." Zhang Yiren was blocked and could not speak, so he had to walk away with a black face.


    After she left, Mrs. Chen quickly said, "Oh, I didn''t know Zhang Yiren had such a plan. I can''t bring her here at all, as long as I know. "


    Finish saying, abnormal guilt of see to jade Lotus "all is my fault, let Niang son be frightened."


    "No matter what you do, even if you don''t bring her, she can come to the door. But I can''t agree with her. I only went to Mrs. Luo''s yard when I went to Luo''s house last time. I didn''t walk around and I didn''t see any outsider. Why did Mr. Zhang say that he had met me? In addition to my own two servant girls, there are several old ladies and servant girls of the Luo family. They can all testify. " When it comes to the end, her eyes are red, which is a real disaster for her.


    On one side, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Chen quickly comforted her.


    Leisurely also came to advise, "it''s estimated that someone must be behind the fire. In fact, it may not be aimed at you. You are also affected by our family."


    Xu''s side echoed, "that is, who don''t know what kind of pinge you are? They must have said it casually. I look at this picture. Although it''s a five grade Gao Ming, it''s much worse than Chen''s sister-in-law. It''s also possible that Yulian''s sister bought a house and bought land a few days ago and caught people''s eyes. That''s why today''s disaster happened. "

 Chapter 495

    Although Xu was angry with Yulian a few days ago, he was still fighting for her when he saw someone bullying her. In the final analysis, it''s still that people''s original intention is not bad, not those villains who do whatever they can for the sake of interests.


    Leisurely Haosheng comforts Yulian and asks Xu to send her back to the yard, while he asks people to go out and find out the truth of Zhang Tongzhi''s family. On one side, Mrs. Chen regretted that leisurely''s face was uncertain and worried. She hurried forward and said, "it''s all mine. I shouldn''t have brought her here."


    She looked at her leisurely, shook her head gently and said, "it has nothing to do with you. How can you know what she is here for?" Seeing her eyes full of fear, she comforted with soft words, "OK, I know what you are. Don''t worry about it. Go back first."


    Mrs. Chen knew that it was useless to stay, so she said, "I''ll go back first. If there''s anything I can do for you, please don''t give up and just give orders."


    Leisurely nodded, "OK, if I really need your help, I''ll come to you."


    After Mrs. Chen went out, she felt her stomach leisurely and thought that the people in the official circles of Rongcheng might be looking at themselves and talking so easily that they bullied each other to the door. It seems that tigers don''t get angry. They really treat themselves as sick cats.


    Zhang Yi came home in a rush of anger and told her husband about it. Zhang Tongzhi thought that he was also the Royal concubine''s younger brother. He was sure to accept a woman who was separated from the Royal concubine. Unexpectedly, the other party didn''t agree? He walked back and forth several times and asked, "did you ever tell her that it was not an ordinary aunt, but a formal wine to make her a second room?"


    Zhang Yiren pursed her lips and said, "of course I said it. For the sake of" asking for a wife ", Mrs. Shen also blocked me with a lot of rules. They are all words in books, and I can''t learn them."


    Zhang Tongzhi sneered, "rules? Isn''t her Shen Lin family a servant girl? If you really want to obey the rules, how can you become the governor''s wife


    Seeing her husband saying this, Zhang Yiren quickly echoed, "no, I don''t like her parentage. I hate to be your aunt to my master. Fortunately, I mean to say the rules in front of me. The most exasperating thing is that I''ve mentioned our lady''s name, but she still doesn''t give me the slightest bit of affection and let people blow me out. " Then she murmured, "I guess Shen Lin must have taken her elder sister as a cash cow. It''s said that when she was in Beijing, she gave a visit to many senior officials and their families, and the reward would be very rich. She must have let the property of sister Mou Tun stop her from getting married. What she said is so nice. "


    Zhang Tongzhi felt his moustache and hummed, "that''s what it is. Dare to look down on me, I must give her a good taste. You hurry up, write a letter to the empress, tell us something, and let the empress decide for us. "


    Zhang Yiren is a little uncertain and says, "can the empress manage this?"


    Zhang Tongzhi did not have a good look at her: "you will not send some gifts with the letter. The dowry of empress is not richer than that of Princess Rong, and her husband is also powerful. She is not well-off in her hand, and then she will put on three no, five thousand taels of silver." His daughter-in-law was surprised and said, "not so much? How much money do we have? "


    Zhang Tongzhi said impatiently, "didn''t the salt merchant Wang''s family just send 5000 Liang that day? Use that one. " Seeing that her mother-in-law was still reluctant to do anything wrong, she had to calm down and said, "you know what, I checked the bottom of the Lin family in the Yamen. This year alone, she has set up three or four shops in Fujian, which cost nearly twenty thousand taels of silver. Think about it. If you marry her, these shops will be ours? It''s a good deal to exchange 5000 for 20000! "


    Listening to Zhang Tongzhi''s words, Zhang Yiren''s eyes picked out: "the master checked it clearly, but he said that I would have to keep the title deeds of these shops at that time."


    Zhang Tongzhi thought that he would coax her to deal with this matter, so he agreed, "well said, well said, our account book is not in your charge?" After the couple''s calculation, they wrote a letter and sent their confidants to Jingzhong as soon as possible. Then they waited for Princess Zhou to decide for them.


    More than a month has passed. Finally, Princess Zhou''s reply was not received, but the imperial edict came first. It turned out that the censor of Fujian reported to the imperial court that Zhang Tongzhi had accepted bribes, engaged in malpractices for personal gain, had an affair with salt merchants, and had forced people to accept women. In particular, one of Zhang Tongzhi''s concubines was accepted during the period of national filial piety. After seeing this, the emperor was particularly angry. He ordered to dismiss his official post and exile for three thousand li.


    It was not only Zhang Tongzhi and his wife who felt that the accident had come too suddenly, but the whole Fujian officialdom was shocked by it. Zhang Tongzhi is an official of five grades. Among the civil servants, he is the second leader of Fujian. Although he is a bit greedy, he is not a big problem in the eyes of the public. How many officials are not greedy? Why did he let the court do it quietly?


    In particular, Lord Luo sent someone to inquire about it. He went back to Shujing and said, "xingku, at the beginning, we were quick to see the opportunity, but we didn''t continue to fight with the Shen family. Otherwise, we can''t say our end is miserable." Because of his short time as an official and timid, Zhang Tongzhi has never been involved in anything that is really related to human life. However, magistrate Luo is not the same. He is quite cruel in his work. In order to climb up, he has done several things that hurt the natural sense.


    After listening to her husband''s words, Shujing also felt a little afraid, "how can Xianggong know that this is the Shen family''s hand? Their family is very respectable among the nobility, and they have won over a lot of civil servants? "


    Lord Luo sighed, "you''re right. It can''t be counted on the Shen family. It should be done by Mrs. Shen."


    Shujing exclaimed, "how could it be her?"


    Lord Luo replied, "why can''t it be her! If it wasn''t for Zhang Tongzhi and his wife''s idea to fight lady Lin, I''m afraid they would not have brought this disaster! The world only looks at Mrs. Shen''s servant girl background, but forgets that her brother is now a senior official, and the Minister of the Ministry of official is her adoptive father. Apart from Han Shangshu, it is estimated that such a small official can''t reach his old man. As far as Lin Zhuangyuan himself is concerned, there are countless close disciples of Han imperial master. If Zhang Tongzhi is clean, it''s not easy for others to deal with him because of his pigtails? "

 Chapter 496

    Shu Jing nodded. "You''re right. Fortunately, we stopped in time, otherwise we couldn''t get better. However, Zhang Tongzhi''s fate today is purely due to her own fault. How polite and gentle lady Lin is, she almost made him have a bad reputation. Besides, I saw it in our backyard. I don''t know when our backyard will let him come and go freely? If it gets out, our family''s reputation will not be lost? "


    Lord Luo comforted him and said, "OK, isn''t this thing over? It''s just a couple of miscreants. It''s expected that they will come to this end. We don''t have the same opinion with her. " Then he reached out and touched Shujing''s stomach. "Is our baby daughter good today?"


    This matter leisurely also did not plan to hide, did not have several day Kung Fu Rong City officialdom should know other people knew. This time, people really saw the means of the governor''s wife. This lady usually looks very low-key and modest, but her hand is unambiguous. Almost when everyone is not aware of it, people do not bother to do the same thing, and the reason is still so aboveboard. Now, no one dares to underestimate leisurely any more. The Gaoming women, big and small, were more careful when they saw leisurely again.


    Even Shen Xi said with a smile, "as soon as this happened, I got a lot of light. No one dares to disrespect me when I go out. A while ago, the girls here didn''t have much contact with me. Now they are all posting. Even my Rouge shop has more orders from many big families. These people really, when they were polite to them in the past, they all looked at people from the corner of their eyes. Now I''m lazy, but I''ve pasted them one by one. "


    Leisurely advised: "most people come and go in this way, mostly because of the word" profit ". In the past, they didn''t think it was good for them to make friends with us, or they didn''t think it was bad for them to offend us, so they had many taboos. Now see the strength of our natural dare not underestimate us. If you don''t like these snobbish people, you don''t have to care too much about them. It''s just a matter of living on a large scale. "


    Shen Xi nodded and said, "sister-in-law, I know. I''m not stupid. When I was ridiculed by the Xin family, there was no one to speak for me except the big girl of the Luo family. Miss Zhao in filial piety also let people give me something to comfort. Like these two people, even if they don''t know the foundation, at least they can try to meet each other. Let''s forget about other people. "


    Caressing Shen Xi''s hair leisurely and lovingly, "our sister-in-law Xi has grown up, and she has an idea in her heart. It''s really happy to see you so outstanding." Shen Xi is a little embarrassed by leisurely praise. He gets up and says, "I''ll see how taoliang''s new rouge is doing." Then he turned and ran.


    Looking at her back, her leisurely eyes were filled with sadness and resentment. If it wasn''t for the bad reputation of the Xin family, no one would care for such a good girl until now!


    Think of here, leisurely and involuntarily clenched the fist in the hand, if so let the Xin family, she is really unwilling.


    Naturally, it is inevitable for the Xin family to know about Zhang Tongzhi. At first hearing the news, Mrs. Xin murmured in her heart. Unexpectedly, Shen Lin was so powerful that she managed Zhang Tongzhi all at once. I don''t know if she will be bad for my family because I was so stiff with her last time. However, Mrs. Xin thought that her husband was a third class military officer and had been in Fujian for many years. Naturally, she could not beat him easily. Then he let go.


    But Lord Xin is not at ease. The people he sent to the capital have been away for a long time. How come there is no news yet? On the one hand, he secretly contacted his cronies and searched everywhere for Shen Ze''s "criminal evidence" in the army. One of his subordinates was quite embarrassed and said, "I''ve been staring at governor Shen for a long time. I really haven''t found anything to do with him. No matter in the Yamen or in the military camp, all the accounts are clear. He doesn''t take money or promote casually. I really can''t find any evidence. "


    General Xin was not angry and spat on him: "you idiot, how can I teach you this little thing? Can''t it be made without evidence? It''s not the first time. What are you doing here? " He shrunk his arms, opened his mouth and said nothing more. In the past, he helped general Xin build evidence to frame other people, but those people were all big men with no foundation, and their military positions were all under five grades. Now let him frame governor erpin, he is not so bold! What general Xin didn''t know was that Shen Ze had already told him what he had done. Therefore, no matter what kind of intrigue he wants to make, he is under the surveillance of Shen Ze. Shen Ze listened to the spy''s secret report, but his heart was also a little heavy. He had asked people to collect the criminal evidence of general Xin and send it to the capital. But the emperor obviously didn''t want to attack general Xin at this time. He pressed the fold and wrote a secret letter to Shen Ze. Just to say that nowadays the Japanese pirates are rampant on the sea, it''s time for the coastal generals to unite as one to resist foreign enemies, and they must not fight inside. In order to avoid shaking the morale of the army, general Xin, as a general along the southwest coast for many years, had better not have an accident at this time.


    Although what he said was extravagant, Shen Ze didn''t know that the emperor was also preventing him from monopolizing the military power in Southwest China. As everyone knows, he did not dare to be interested in the military power here. General Xin thinks that he has a lot of people in his hand, and he is against him everywhere. He doesn''t want him to control the power of the army, but he forgets that the real local snake in Southwest China is the Zhao family of Dingnan uncle who is keeping filial piety. Seeing that the Zhao family is about to show filial piety, the Emperor may have made an idea to let the two families fight.


    Shen Ze narrowed his eyes, remembering that his mother''s secret letter to him said that Yuan Hong, the commander of the capital camp, was old and had a relapse. He was afraid that his life would not be long, so he had to make plans. He reached out and knocked on the table. Since the Emperor didn''t want to take charge of the military and political affairs in Southwest China, he wanted to show him. Thinking of his wife''s worry about his little sister''s marriage, he hummed coldly. It''s time to avenge his little sister!

 Chapter 497

    Xin''s family wants to start first. Shen Ze doesn''t wait to die. He just sends people to watch general Xin''s action and prepare to make a plan.


    But on Luo''s side, Shujing was a little puzzled when she saw her husband''s sullen appearance for several days. This day, she saw that he came home early and didn''t do any serious work. She just leaned against the window to read a miscellaneous book, which was quite different from his busy and capable appearance in the past. Shu Jing retreated from the maids and asked, "how can I look at your absent-minded appearance these days, but what''s the trouble?"


    Magistrate Luo shook his head gently. "Zhang Tongzhi''s business just happened. Now all the officials are honest and tight. Everything is in order. What''s the trouble?"


    Shu Jing more confused "that is for what matter so lost?"


    "I''m just lamenting the impermanence of the world. I think I''m from a noble family, and I have some talent. But when I first came to Rongcheng, I was quite helpless in the face of the complicated situation here. Especially at that time, the former Emperor was still alive, and the king of Zhou still had some hope of seizing the throne. I was suppressed by Zhang Tongzhi. Later, after the first emperor left, he gradually subsided. Even now, with my ability to deal with him, I can''t be as calm as Mrs. Shen. However, they did. I have to admit that I''m not as good as a woman or a child. "


    Seeing that her husband was so depressed, Shu Jing quickly comforted her and said, "every life has its own chance. Mrs. Shen has her own chance, which we can''t force."


    Magistrate Luo nodded, "I know that, but I''m not reconciled after all." After that, he sighed with emotion: "according to the official scholar, the eldest son of the Shen family is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also has solid knowledge, which can be called both civil and martial arts. It''s a pity that the eldest sister is a commoner. If she comes out, she can''t be a daughter in law with the Shen family. "


    Shujing was quite surprised and said, "you didn''t look down on others in the past. How come you want to be a daughter in law?" Magistrate Luo said with a wry smile, "I used to have eyes but didn''t know Taishan. I didn''t really realize the strength of others. Now when I see it, I have to think about it." He said with a self mocking smile, "in the past, I was full of pride for my husband. I thought that as long as I had the ability to work hard, I would be able to get ahead. But now it seems that I''m really wrong. I really need to rely on my own ability to get ahead. Unless there is a big chance, everything is just a fantasy."


    Then he took Shujing''s hand and said, "you know, we are both original children. We don''t love our parents. I started from the fourth grade mainly by relying on my family''s idea of dowry management of the old and my biological mother. If I go up again, it''s easy to say that the fourth grade is good, but if I want to go up to the third grade, it''s useless to have no iron relationship in the court. "


    Smell speech, Shu Jing feel some confusion, "then, this matter with governor Shen what relationship?"


    Magistrate Luo stood up and breathed a long breath, "I don''t care only about Shen Ze, but also the loyal government, the empress and the prince behind him!" He set his eyes on Shujing: "you came from the imperial clan, you should know that the greatest contribution has always been from the dragon."


    Shujing was surprised to stand up, "when did Xianggong have such an idea? It''s true that the dragon''s work is rewarding, but what if it doesn''t work? Before the emperor''s filial piety, the prime minister was thinking about seizing the emperor''s right. Isn''t it too urgent? "


    Magistrate Luo shook his head and said, "it''s not that I''m eager, but that we don''t have much time. If you think about it, my father is over 50 years old this year, but as my eldest son, I am not even a real son. Even if you can barely inherit the title, I''m afraid you''ll end up with a shell mansion and a group of troubled people. "


    Shujing whispered, "but when we left Beijing, didn''t we agree not to take care of everything in Beijing? Don''t we agree not to fight? "


    "But I''m not reconciled. I''m the eldest son of my father. It''s natural for me to inherit the family property. I don''t have to fight for it. I can''t do that! And my brother-in-law. My father-in-law is a second wife. He doesn''t have to think about any titles. But are you willing to let him stay idle all his life at home and be a poor clan who has nothing to do all day and can only live on his own branches? " After many years of marriage, magistrate Luo clearly knew where his wife''s weakness was. In a word, he blocked all her opposition. In fact, it''s not only her husband''s unwillingness. Since the day her stepmother came in, her unwillingness has been deeply buried in her heart. Now, it''s just all dug up.


    Not to mention how the Luo family and his wife negotiate and plan, leisurely here is the stomach day by day. It''s time to give birth. I put everything aside and concentrate on the labor. Yulian is here almost every day, and Shen Ze sends people back to greet her every day.


    On this day, leisurely is looking at the income from Chuang Tzu. At the beginning, for the convenience of eating and using, although I knew that the land yield here was not high, leisurely still let people buy a small Chuang Tzu of about 500 mu nearby. There are lotus root fields, tea hills, vegetable fields, orchards, a 20 mu flower shed she made, and a dozen Mu flower fields for Xi''s rouge. After a year, the government has almost enough vegetables and fruits. However, there are not many kinds of rice. The climate here is warm. The rice is almost double cooked a year, and the yield is not low. You just don''t think the rice here tastes good. It''s much worse than Wuchang rice, which is sweet, soft and slightly tough in the past, so you don''t like it very much. Shen Ze and his sister grew up in Beijing. They were not used to eating rice since childhood, but they ate more pasta. This is also true of the people coming from the capital, especially the soldiers, who often say that they are not satisfied with rice and have no strength. Thanks to the convenience of sea transportation, the price of wheat from the north is not too high. Otherwise, eating alone will be a headache.


    As she read the account books, she calculated in her heart that in addition to eating and drinking at home, part of the output of Chuang Tzu was sold. In addition to some of the seasonal flowers she had to be looked after, the little Chuang Tzu had a harvest of nearly 1000 Liang a year. In sum, it can basically meet the daily expenses of the government.


    Leisurely calculating, I sigh in my heart for a while. I want to worship Buddha if I can save a hundred taels of silver in the first year of junior high school. Now I can''t feel that thousands of taels of silver can enter her eyes.


    While she was sighing, Su he came in and said, "madam, a Huanghua pear tree you ordered a while ago has been packed and sent. Do you want to have a look?"


    Leisurely raised his head, "it''s natural to have a look."

 Chapter 498

    Although Huanghua pear trees at this time have not reached the stage of special scarcity in later generations, because of the limited manpower, there are not too many trees that can be traded every year. Leisurely, it took a long time for someone to find such a whole tree. In the past, she didn''t care much about this. The wood in Shen Xi''s dowry had been prepared long before he left Beijing. It was also made of Huanghua pear wood, and there were several items of red sandalwood and chicken wing wood.


    Since I got pregnant again this time, I felt that this was a girl, so I began to save dowry for my daughter. In addition to wood, there are pearls, gems, spices and so on. Some things that I didn''t care about before are also slowly bought.


    Leisurely just walked to the door, just ran into the door of Shen Ze, suddenly surprised, "how do you come back?" Shen Ze was followed by his little fellow, with several bundles in his hand.


    Shen Ze took her hand with a smile. "People say you''re OK, but I''m still worried. It happens that the Yamen has some business to deal with, so I''ll come back to live in the city for a few days."


    The servant girl in the yard took over all the baggage in the little boy''s hand, and leisurely told them, "you take all the laundry items of the old man and wash them, and then send them back." Then he said to Shen Ze with a smile, "you''ve just come back. I ordered a Huanghua pear a few days ago. It''s just delivered. I don''t know much about that. You can go and have a look with me. "


    Hearing this, Shen Ze took her hand and went to the front hall. As she walked, she asked, "we don''t know how long we will live here. Do you want to change the furniture of huanghuali?"


    Leisurely smile angrily way "you said, we can''t point to which day will move, I spend all those efforts to play what rosewood furniture?"? I''m not prepared for our daughter


    Seeing that she mentioned her daughter''s full of expectation, Shen Ze stifled the sentence "in case it''s a boy again" which was about to rush to her mouth, and then said, "yes, it''s my wife''s thoughtfulness."


    Husband and wife for many years, leisurely how can not see his idea, just pretend not to know it. Even if it''s a son, good furniture can be inherited for many generations.


    The merchant who sent Huanghua pear was introduced by Yang Lu to you ran. He specialized in precious wood business, and often went back and forth between Hainan and Fujian. He also often dealt with foreign merchants. Such a person, naturally happy to catch up with a governor. Therefore, I did my best to help you find this wood.


    Leisurely said that she didn''t know much about wood, but she had seen a lot of Huanghua Pears. The color of Huanghua pear is soft, the pattern is smooth and natural, and it also exudes a faint fragrance. It''s true. Shen Ze went forward and looked at it carefully. He also took his finger to knock on the wood. Finally, he nodded, "this wood is good. It''s worth putting it away."


    The timber merchant on one side heard Shen Ze''s praise and said, "because there are many rich families in Beijing who are going to marry in the past two years, the price of rosewood will go up very high. It''s hard to make big furniture. That time I got the news from boss Yang. I knew that it was Mrs. Shen who wanted it. I didn''t dare to delay. I entrusted my old relationship for many years to get this wood from the Li people. Now I can get a good word from you. It''s a little busy. "


    Shen Ze was noncommittal and said with a leisurely smile, "as long as the wood is superior, you can''t miss your benefits. Did I hear from the red sandalwood I said last time? "


    The timber merchant said with a bitter face, "Madam Hui, this is not a small Naqiao. The red sandalwood is very rare. With ten sandalwood and nine empty sandalwood, there are fewer materials that can be used to make large furniture. Now there is really no news. As soon as there is news, I will tell my wife immediately. "


    Without waiting to speak leisurely, Shen Ze said, "don''t say those excuses, your beautiful words will scare my wife. If you can''t even get a red sandalwood, you''ve been in the wood business for so many years. I''ll give you a month. If you don''t see anything, you won''t have to do business here in the future. "


    The words were light, but the wood merchant recognized the strong smell of gunpowder in it, and quickly flattered him and said, "my Lord, how dare I take Joe in front of you and your wife? I will do my best to collect a good red sandalwood for your house as soon as possible. " Leisurely knows that Shen Ze is not the kind of person who makes trouble out of nothing. Since he talks like that, he must have something in his heart. At first, she thought the merchant was quite elegant, but now she was in a bad mood. She lost interest in looking at the wood and said, "I''m dizzy after seeing the water ripple on the wood for a long time. I''ll go back to my room first." Then he said, "take the wood to the warehouse and put it away. Be careful, but don''t knock it."


    Seeing that she looked very sad, Shen Ze said, "I''ll accompany you." Then he helped her out of the front hall.


    On the way, leisurely seeing that he was far away from the man, he asked in a low voice, "I look at you as if you are aiming at the businessman. Is it difficult for him to provoke you?"


    Shen Ze replied, "this man looks very polite. In fact, he is quite respectable. When I came here a few years ago, I dealt with him. I always promised him well, but I didn''t do much practical work. His family''s ancestors are in the timber business. Why can''t they even find a decent red sandalwood tree in their family? They just don''t think our family is worth his efforts. "


    Leisurely is very surprised: "our family is not worth being wooed? Xianggong, you are the governor of zhengerpin. "


    Shen Ze sneered, "what''s the matter with the governor? I''m a military officer. I can''t control him easily. Besides, this man is not stupid. He knows that our family can''t be attached at will, so it''s just a nice talk. The really good things will surely be left by him to the people who are most beneficial to him. As far as I know, there were two excellent red sandalwood trees in Dingnan Bofu yesterday. They are said to be used as dowries for their eldest girls. Do you think it has nothing to do with this man? "


    Hearing this, leisurely immediately feel a little speechless, "according to you, this person is also more powerful.". If I had known, I wouldn''t have had his wood. Second brother is also, usually work is always safe, how this will introduce such a person to me. I thought he was a good one


    Shen Ze grabbed her shoulder and said, "I don''t think my cousin knows about this. Who doesn''t pretend to be human when they socialize outside? Time is short, how can we know the details so quickly. What''s more, even if my cousin knows about it, I''m afraid there''s nothing I can do about it. Their family has been in this business for the longest time, and the good wood here in Fujian is basically taken over by them. Even if we are looking for someone else, we can''t help it. "


    Two people are talking, behind a small servant girl panting ran in, "to uncle, grandma please, uncle Yang came back."

 Chapter 499

    When the couple looked at each other, Shen Ze said with a smile, "it''s really ''talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived''. As soon as they talked about him, they came back."


    Leisurely way, "I guess it''s time to come back. When he left, he said he would come back before mid autumn. Now it''s the end of July. If you don''t come back, you can''t sell the goods. " Then he asked, "where are the people?"


    The little servant girl replied, "Uncle Biao has brought a lot of boxes back and is unloading the truck outside."


    Leisurely thought that all the boxes were goods brought back by Yang Lu, but he didn''t think about them at all. He joked with Shen Ze, "it seems that my cousin has gained a lot in Beijing this time."


    As a result, she went back to the room, and just helped Shen Ze change into her home clothes, she saw that the boxes outside were carried in turn.


    Seeing this, leisurely also asked, "this is not the box my cousin brought back. Why don''t you move it to his yard? What are you doing here?"


    Looking at the box, a woman in charge said with a smile, "my servant asked my uncle. He said these boxes are all your things. It''s said that it was given by relatives and friends in the capital. There are signatures and gift lists in it. You can look at things according to the list yourself. "


    Leisurely looking at the dozen boxes on the ground, he opened one of them. Inside was the signature of the government. Then he believed. In addition to these, there are still young men and women moving here.


    Leisurely can''t help rubbing the temple, said: "Gan song, Su He, you come quickly, the things in this box are neat, the filing of the archive, the warehousing of the warehousing, sorted out the list to me." Then he called out to a little servant girl, "go to the kitchen and tell them to prepare a good banquet on the table. I''m going to meet your uncle tonight." And he called his servants to invite all the people of the Yang family and Yulian''s mother and daughter.


    Shen Ze on one side looked at her standing there with a big stomach and was busy all the time. He pulled her forward and pushed her to a chair to sit down. "OK, it''s nothing serious. Just sit here and let them do the rest. Your servant girls are so capable, which one can''t replace you? " She said, touching her stomach gently. "You see, you must have been worried too much. You are almost full-term, and you don''t have much meat on your body. It''s strange to just look at your stomach. If you don''t feel sorry for yourself, you should think about it for our daughter. She doesn''t want you to be too tired. "


    Wen Yan, leisurely and quite helpless, said, "I''m not as tired as you said. I''m dying of idleness at home in the past, so I just happened to be in a hurry today, and I was just met by you. If you don''t think about it, there are so many things at home. Besides, sister Xi and taoliang are helping to manage the family. I''m almost free and ill. You said I didn''t grow meat. Look at my face. It''s round a lot. "


    Shen Ze carefully looked at it, and saw that her original pretty oval face was really mellow, which made her feel a little relieved. "I haven''t been able to accompany you at home these days. I''m really wronged you. By the way, didn''t you say sister Xi would help you with the housekeeper? Why didn''t I see them? "


    Leisurely back, "isn''t it going to be the end of the month? They went to the shop to make an account And then he praised, "don''t mention that these two girls are not old enough to do things reliably. Now the shop is more and more prosperous, and the business is really good."


    Shen Ze doesn''t care much about the way "just to pass the time for them, even if the loss is no harm." In his opinion, rouge powder is only for women''s business, which is not worth his attention.


    Seeing that he doesn''t care, leisurely deliberately doesn''t tell the profit of the shop. He plans to let Shen Xi report to her brother in person at the right time. At that time, he can see Shen Ze''s surprise.


    In the evening, when I met Yang Lu, I looked at him and saw that he was much thinner than before, but he was more capable. The whole family just came together to talk about their relationship. They didn''t talk about silver. They didn''t worry about how much money they made. But looking at the new face on Xu''s head and the joy in her eyes, she thought leisurely that Yang Lu would make a lot of profits this time. Sure enough, the next day when Yang Lu came to collect the account with leisurely, he told her that this time, because he had more capital than last time, he made more profits. But according to what he had said in advance, Yang LV naturally changed all the silver into goods, so he could not see the silver for the time being. He handed a box to leisurely and said with a smile, "thanks for your blessing, I got on the line with Prince Rong''s mansion. This time, I got some pretty good red ginseng, snow clam, deer antler and so on. There are also some excellent Dongzhu. They are very round. I''ve chosen a box of good ones for you


    Leisurely open the box, there are more than a dozen longan beads in it. Although the size is not very prominent, it is full and round, and the color is crystal clear. So he said with a smile, "such a big Dongzhu can be called a rare treasure. I only have one or two in my hand. It''s a good thing to keep for my sister Fang. I''m sorry to have given it to me. "


    Yang Lu replied quickly, "I can''t get these things without your blessing. There isn''t a lot of such a big government. I''m not willing to take out. I''ll keep it for my family. I left some for her as dowry. There is also a box of lotus seed size, ready to take out to sell, that many, enough hundreds, if you want, I will spare some for you


    Leisurely shook his head and said, "I also have some Dongzhu big lotus seeds, so I won''t leave them. Since it''s goods, let''s go to take out first. Although there is no shortage of Haizhu, the price of Dongzhu is also very high. "


    Yang said, "no, Dongzhu is more expensive than Nanzhu. Those foreign businessmen also like Dongzhu."


    Because the goods Yang Lu brought back were rare here, and the quality was excellent, all the goods he brought back from the capital were sold out in a few days. When he got the silver, he sent leisurely''s share of the profits. After one visit, except for those given to Chen Shan and Xu Guang, he was able to leave about 100000 taels of silver.


    Chen Xu and his family were very excited when they received the silver tickets sent by leisurely people. Mrs. Chen, who has always been restrained, can''t help saying to her men, "no wonder people here want to do business on the sea. It''s very profitable. That''s a lot of work, and we''ve tripled our money. "


    Although Chen Shan was also happy, he was more rational and said, "OK, isn''t that 10000 taels of silver? Look at your interest. You only look at the people who make money. Why don''t you think about how many people die at sea every year? How many families have lost their property? You can earn so much money thanks to the help of the governor and his wife. You have to be careful in the future. Don''t go out there. Last time, if you hadn''t talked too much, you couldn''t have brought that disaster to your wife''s sister! "

 Chapter 500

    When it comes to this, Chen Shan''s family is obviously guilty. "I didn''t mean to do it, but I just said it casually. Who knows that Zhang Yiren''s mind is so vicious, and he''s going to do evil to lady Lin in a twinkling of an eye. Fortunately, Mrs. Li gave all the family a lot of help, or I felt awesome. Then she patted herself on the chest. "My wife has always been kind to us. She usually acts generously. I didn''t expect that she would be so angry this time. That''s a high-ranking official of five grades. He became a prisoner all of a sudden! Speaking of this, I''m still a little flustered. "


    Then he pulled his man''s sleeve and said, "I haven''t talked about it with anyone else. Don''t say it outside. If it comes to my wife''s ears, I don''t think I can do well."


    Chen Shan impatiently pulled back his sleeve, "I can''t handle this matter properly. You''ve made mistakes outside. I''m not the one to lose face? In the future, you have to be more restrained. If you don''t talk like this, I''ll take care of you. "


    Chen Shan''s family peeped at her husband''s face, which didn''t look like a joke. They were submissive and said with a smile, "I''ll know this once, and I won''t dare to do it again. Well, master, it''s rare for you to come back. Don''t be angry with me. I''ll let you stew your favorite mutton on on the stove. Then I''ll send someone to buy some stewed mutton. I''ll let you drink two more cups later. "


    Chen Shan''s daughter-in-law has always been a little disgusted with the fact that her husband is a rude man. When she looks down on him like this, Chen Shan is very proud in her heart. She still pretends to be annoyed. By this reason, she has been addicted to being an uncle.


    Chen Shan and his wife are very happy at home, but they don''t know that leisurely has a bad heart for them. They think they are hiding things from each other, but they don''t know that leisurely has already learned the truth from Zhang Jia''s servants. Originally she thought, if Chen Shan''s family can say this matter openly and honestly, and give jade lotus compensate is not, this matter even past. But it''s obvious that Chen Shan''s family doesn''t have this plan, and Chen Shan is obviously facing his daughter-in-law, helping to hide the matter.


    Although people have selfish side, but also to divide what. After Zhang Yiren came to the door that time, he thought many times leisurely that if his mother''s family and husband were not in power now, I''m afraid the second half of her life would be ruined. Although the Lin family has always been a descendant, they have never been a little girl. If Zhang''s wish is really fulfilled, the women of the whole Lin family will be affected. Leisurely not only can''t face the cousins and uncles, but also can''t face the ancestors of her mother''s family.


    Therefore, even if we know that Mrs. Chen is unintentional, leisurely can not be completely relieved. And regardless of this, just look at the usual style, Wei''s approach obviously makes her feel warm. Unconsciously, leisurely mind has been more inclined to Wei family and Xu family.


    At the beginning of the investment, Xu Guang took out twice as much silver as the Chen family, so this time the profit was also doubled. Wei''s heart was naturally happy when she got the silver note, but she was born in Bofu. When she was young, because of the favor of Wei''s concubine, she also saw a lot of people. Therefore, although the business is profitable this time, she can still be stable.


    When Xu Guang came back from outside, he saw that she was sitting in the room doing needlework. He couldn''t help laughing and saying, "I heard that my wife has made a lot of money this time. How can I not see any happiness?"


    Wei raised his head and said, "what''s the big money? Keep your voice down! I''m afraid others don''t know! "


    Xu Guang doesn''t care much about the way "it''s not something to sneak around, what''s the shame?"


    Wei Shi stares at him and looks up to see that there is no one outside. Fang Zheng says, "how many times have I told you? Don''t make a fuss about it. The court ruled that officials should not engage in business. How did the lady''s brother ever make a big noise about it? You have to keep your mouth tight. Be careful what comes out of your mouth


    Xu Guang didn''t pay much attention to this: "it''s OK. There are many things that go against the law. I just said a few words at home. What''s the matter? Madame is not such a mean person


    Hearing this, Wei put his needle and thread aside, frowned and said, "I always see you are smart. How can this meeting seem to lack a tendon? Naturally, I know that my wife has always been generous, but there is a bottom line for her generosity. If you step on that thread carelessly, I''m afraid you don''t know how to die! Zhang Tongzhi''s example is in front of you. You don''t know how to converge! Madam always keeps a low profile. Even if we know what''s inside, we can''t reveal anything against madam. Otherwise, it would be a disaster for his wife. If his wife is not happy, can the governor be happy? " Seeing that Xu Guang was still a fool, Wei knew that he didn''t pay attention to his words, so he whispered, "I know you think I''m making a mountain out of a molehill, but you have to listen to me about it. Don''t learn from the Chen family that they think they are smart and alienate their wife. I ask you, is there no elder brother Chen''s business when we went back to suppress bandits? "


    Xu Guang went to the imperial concubine''s couch and said, "well, there are only a group of Japanese pirates. There are no more than 20 people in all. That day, Chen Shan just went to do something else. He didn''t catch up. What''s more, even if he doesn''t catch up, he''ll get as much as he deserves. "


    Wei sneered, "hum, don''t tell me that your trip to other people''s home was in vain." In a word, Xu Guang was embarrassed, but he didn''t run in vain. Although there are few pirates, there are many things in the den. It seems that they have just robbed a ship and haven''t had time to sell the stolen goods. There are more than 30000 silver tickets alone, a box of inch gold, several boxes of pearls and gems, and countless porcelain and silk. It was Xu Guang who led the army that day. He left 5000 silver tickets, and his brothers shared 5000. In addition, Xu Guang also intercepted the box of inch gold and a box of excellent gems. The rest of them were brought back to the Yamen. When they arrived at the yamen, a small half of the things were intercepted and distributed to the generals who didn''t go, and the rest was handed over to the imperial court.


    Now the jewels on Wei''s head are made with the jewels in that box. Chen Shan, who had only five hundred taels of silver and several pieces of silk, was not as valuable as the jewel on Wei''s head. The gap is not so big.


    Xu Guang touched his moustache, but he couldn''t believe it. "That''s what happened. I saw that the governor was very close to Chen Shan."


    Wei added, "one thing is a coincidence. When you went back to copy Zhang Tongzhi''s home, and when you went to check the smuggled merchant ship the day before yesterday, did brother Chen not go?"

 Chapter 501

    As soon as he heard this, Xu Guang was a little surprised. He sat up and said, "don''t tell me, I didn''t care much about these things. It''s really true that Chen Shan didn''t take part in any rich work in the past two months. Why do you say that? I don''t think Chen Shan has done anything wrong to the governor and his wife. "


    Seeing that he was interested, Wei didn''t worry. He slowly returned to his original place and picked up the shoes in the needle and thread basket to make them.


    Seeing this, Xu Guang rubbed to Wei''s side with a playful smile. "Good daughter-in-law, you know that I have a rough heart for my husband, and I can''t think about some things thoroughly. You have to be a good student for my husband and say, don''t let me be a fool." Seeing that Wei''s hand was made of a pair of children''s shoes, he boasted that "lady''s craftsmanship is more and more dexterous. Looking at the tiger head on the shoes, it looks like it''s really made. If you want me to tell you, I''ll let my servants do the rough work. I''d better have a rest. " Finish saying, want to stretch out a hand to take the shoe of Wei Shi''s hand, was dodged by Wei Shi.


    I saw Wei''s angry Jiao chide: "you didn''t wash your hands when you came back from outside. Your hands are dirty. I''m so easy to finish embroidery. Don''t get dirty."


    Xu Guang frowned and said, "for whom? Why is it so delicate? "


    Wei Shi glanced at him and said, "those two leather boys in our family wear such delicate shoes? It''s for the unborn child of his wife. Don''t be careful! "


    Hearing the speech, Xu Guang said with a smile, "no wonder it''s so exquisite." Then he scratched his head. "But isn''t the gift for his wife and children already ready? Last time you said that your wife likes jade, so I went out of my way to search for a good jade collar. Did you forget? Why do you want to do this again? "


    Wei had no choice but to look at him. "The collar was sent when we were preparing for the full moon. The things were more valuable, which showed our sincerity. I''m going to send these shoes tomorrow and the day after tomorrow before my wife is born. Although such sewing is not valuable, it seems that our two families are close. Who do you think is the wife''s child who can make the needle and thread? "


    Xu Guang scratched his head and said, "you high-ranking women have a lot of heart and mind. They are so particular about giving gifts! I don''t understand everything. I''ll give it to grandma. Grandma works hard. Please accept my gift! " With that, I really saluted the Wei family.


    Wei was startled and turned to avoid it. She spat at Xu Guang again, but the rising corner of her mouth showed her happy mood. When she got married, none of the sisters in the house thought highly of her. At that time, Xu Guang was just a small official with seven grades. His family was withered and he had no powerful relatives and friends. Those sisters who were in a hurry to please her directly decided that she had no future in her life, and even disdained to maintain her face. She doesn''t know how to raise the branch, but also offends Wei side imperial concubine. But her stepmother, who had always been strict with her, devoted herself to her marriage. She also asked Mammy to teach her a lot about how to be a wife. Even the dowry gave her the standard of a commoner daughter in her uncle''s family. She kept this kindness in mind all the time, so she never broke up with her mother''s family since she got married.


    Listening to the laughter of her husband and children outside, Wei thought of his stepmother''s letter, and he had made up his mind.


    Since Zhang Tongzhi''s story, Yulian is more in-depth and simple than before. Even Luo''s house refuses to go any more. She just takes care of leisurely body. Although Shujing regretted that Yulian''s medical skills could not be used by her, she still felt that she was in debt to her, so she found another good doctor to see her.


    For a time, Yulian even wanted to sell all the shops in hand. She cried to leisurely, "or am I too greedy? If I hide the money at home, who will know? If I had known that these shops would cause such trouble, I might as well not have thought about it! "


    Leisurely exhorted him once, "the business of the shop has always been done by reliable people. If it wasn''t for Zhang Tongzhi who was in charge of this business in the yamen, he would not have known. Now that it''s all over, it''s more noticeable if you go to sell shops in a big way? It''s better to search for buyers after a while. "


    In addition, taoliang''s intimate cotton padded jacket helps her mother to get rid of her worries day and night, and Yulian gradually calms down. These days, Yulian worried about leisurely fetus, every day is early in the morning to see her all right to calculate peace of mind. This morning, I made the leek box that leisurely talked about last night and brought it to her. I watched her finish and then I went back to my yard to have a rest.


    Leisurely, I haven''t had such a genuine taste of hometown for a long time. No matter how well the cooks in the house do, the food made by the family is not the same. She couldn''t help but eat a little more, and the consequence was that she had been burping after breakfast. Although the people nearby were not different, she still felt a little embarrassed. Then let the servant girl take a handful of tea to chew and eat, and went to the garden for a walk. Looking at the garden of a jasmine leaves grow too messy, they personally built some. When she finished pruning the flowers and trees, the hiccups were silent.


    Looking at the sunshine, leisurely felt that his mood had improved a lot. He said to the servant girls with a smile, "such a good sunshine can''t fail in vain."


    When Wei arrived at the Shen family, leisurely was turning the servant girls around. Seeing this, Wei said with a smile, "I didn''t expect my wife to be so busy. It''s a coincidence that I came here."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s no accident. I see it''s a good day today, so I let the servant girls take out the cloth to dry."


    Wei looked up at the sun in the sky and said, "there''s nothing wrong here. It''s always windy and rainy. It rains all the year round. It''s been raining for several days. It''s a nice day today. "


    As she spoke, she took a burden from her little servant girl and said, "I think it''s time for my wife to give birth. There''s nothing good in my family to show filial respect for. I made a pair of tiger shoes for my unborn sister. It''s also my idea. I hope my wife won''t give up. "


    Leisurely grinning, he reached for the shoes, took them in his hand and said, "if you can''t ask for such a delicate job, how can you dislike it? You really have a heart She listened to Wei''s words very well, and saw that the shoes were really exquisite and lovely, so she had a better impression on Wei. He handed the shoes to Su He, and then chatted with Wei.


    Coincidentally, before they finished a cup of tea, they felt pain in their stomachs, which seemed to be a sign of labor.

 Chapter 502

    Leisurely, who has already had two children, knows that this is the precursor of production. She calmly orders the maid to call wenpo and Yulian, who have been invited for a long time, and then lets the kitchen make a bowl of eggs with sugar water. Finally, I arrived at the side room which had been prepared early and lay down.


    As a result, the child was also acute. As soon as he lay down, he was born before the eggs in the kitchen were ready. Simply smooth can not be smooth, just before and after wenpo and Yulian feet to help take care of the postpartum things.


    Yulian holds the wrapped baby to leisurely look, "this time can be regarded as you wish, is a white and beautiful daughter."


    "I''ve been delivering babies for half my life, but it''s rare for me to be as neat as my sister''s. my sister really loves her and doesn''t want to let her suffer!"


    Yulian replied, "isn''t it? It''s still a girl


    Leisurely looking at her little daughter, although she closed her eyes and her face was a little red, leisurely still felt that she was the most beautiful girl in the world. Hearing what Yulian and wenpo said, they didn''t feel exaggeration at all. On the contrary, they thought it was very appropriate, didn''t they? I suffered a lot when I gave birth to those two smelly boys. My little girl is the best


    Su he personally went to the kitchen to watch the eggs made by the old lady. As soon as he came to the gate of the yard with a bowl, he saw that the people in the yard were very happy. Gan song just came out of the delivery room and saw that she came back with a bowl. She took the tray and said, "grandma has given birth. You just come here. I don''t know if grandma will eat. Let''s go in and congratulate her."


    Su He Lai refused to leave at the same place. "You said it for a long time, but you didn''t make it clear whether your wife gave birth to a brother or a sister?"


    Gan Song said with a smile, "our grandmother is so blessed. Naturally, what she wants is what she wants!"


    When the two enter the room, Gan song brings the soup bowl to leisurely. Su he pleads with him, "the maid keeps urging Mrs. Zhou to hurry up, but she doesn''t think that grandma is so quick. When she brings the eggs back, grandma will have a baby. It''s the maid who comes back late."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "it''s OK. I can''t eat this. Let''s put it aside."


    Gan song puts the tray aside according to his words, and then looks at Su He. They suddenly kneel down and say, "congratulations to grandma. I wish grandma everything she wants and a thousand gold!" Su he was more daring and said with a smile, "grandma, the maidservants are here to ask for rewards."


    Leisurely gently shook his head and said, "you two! That''s true After a little pause, seeing that they were a little worried, they joked, "we can''t do without your reward. Everyone in the whole family will give us a double monthly reward!" Then he said, "in addition, if you take five hundred taels of silver from my private room and set up a porridge shed outside the city for three days, it will be regarded as a blessing for your sister."


    Shen''s subordinates know that leisurely has always wanted a daughter. Now it''s expected to see her so happy. Only the midwife and Wei Shi heard the news, and they were very sad.


    When Shen Ze heard the news of his daughter-in-law''s birth, he came back early in the afternoon. No matter what taboo men don''t enter the delivery room, he went to see his daughter-in-law first, and only when he saw that she was all right could he rest assured that "I feel at ease when I see you are safe, and when the child comes out, you can be relaxed. Look, you''ve lost weight after giving birth to your baby. You have to let your cousin take care of you. "


    Carefree touch his cheek, said, "thin point or, I gave birth to a lot of round face, now can be regarded as thin down."


    Shen Ze touched her face and frowned, "I don''t think you''re fat. Be obedient and eat more." The voice of speaking is a little loud, and the baby sleeping beside leisurely grunts twice in protest.


    Shen Ze was distracted by his daughter''s voice. He carefully touched his daughter''s little hand, then raised his head and said with a smile, "don''t mention that the daughter is different from the child. You see, just born, you can see that the skin is delicate, and the eyebrows are beautiful." Wen Yan, looking as like as two peas in her father''s face, almost can''t help asking her to ask whether this can be called Qingxiu. Then I saw the lovely appearance of my daughter''s smash bar and smash bar mouth, and instantly convinced myself that she was pretty and handsome!


    Without Shen Ze''s advice, Yulian has already prepared a rich tonic list for leisurely. In addition to the light millet porridge and egg soup for the first two days, pigeon soup, old hen soup, pig''s feet soup, crucian carp soup, tripe soup and kidney flower soup came in turn. If only the main material is good, the key inside will also match all kinds of traditional Chinese medicine, what Houttuynia, angelica, astragalus, eucommia and so on.


    Needless to say, the taste of traditional Chinese medicine is not much better, but the taste is leisurely and tolerable. The most unbearable thing for her is that most of the ginger will be put in it. For a person who doesn''t eat ginger, it''s just suffering. But to ginger, the effect of some soup will be greatly reduced, no way, for the sake of their own health, leisurely had to squeeze the nose into the mouth.


    Just after drinking a bowl of pig liver soup, he frowned and said, "I remember that my brother had ginger in his soup, but I didn''t think ginger was so strong at that time!"


    "Maybe it''s the ginger here that tastes so good? Actually, I don''t really like the taste. Since you don''t like it, we won''t eat ginger. After five or six days, it should be enough! Next time, I''ll let the kitchen make soup without ginger for you


    When dinner arrived, the kitchen brought soup of white gourd and spareribs, shredded chicken with sesame oil, a dish of vegetable and a small plate of rolls. Leisurely looking at appetite, eat most of the food, feel some support. Although she was in confinement, she got up and walked around the room for a while.


    Just as Shen Ze came in to see her, she went down and said, "why don''t you lie down?"


    Leisurely said with a smile, "I just ate a little bit too much. I came down for a walk."


    Shen Ze came forward and pulled her to the bed to sit down. "Then you just sit on the bed for a while, don''t come down and walk. It''s been raining these days. The ground is wet. Don''t get cold. " Finish saying, take a thin quilt to gently cover her legs, "always see you talk about health matters to be reasonable, to their own partial forget clean."


    Leisurely back to the way "my own body, I can not cherish? It''s just two steps to get out of bed without doing any heavy work. My cousin and granny Wen have said that proper exercise is good for your health. "


    Seeing Shen Ze''s disapproval, she felt helpless. She couldn''t tell a man about this woman''s confinement. So she suddenly turned away from the topic, "by the way, our daughter has been born for several days, have you thought of a good name for her?"

 Chapter 503

    Shen Ze sighed softly, "their generation has a Jinhui in their long room. This is our eldest daughter. How about Jinyuan?"


    After a moment''s deliberation, he shook his head and said, "it''s not a proper name. We are a side branch of the government. You don''t have a long time in the family. What do you think of it


    Shen Ze patted his forehead and said, "if you don''t tell me, I''ve forgotten this. I''m used to being the master of my own family, and I''ve forgotten these."


    Seeing that he was a little tired on his face, he said leisurely, "I think you''ve come out early and come back late recently. Although I don''t know what you''re busy with, I don''t think it''s an easy thing. I can''t help you with things outside. I shouldn''t even bother you with such trifles. Otherwise, we can teach her how to set up a sister according to our agreement. "


    Shen Ze looked at her lovely sleeping face and said, "it''s all right. I''ll take it as my nickname first. When I come up with a good word later. "


    Smell speech, leisurely nod "this is good, anyway now we are outside, also can''t take her sacrifice into genealogy, let''s think about it slowly."


    Although Shen Ze never said anything about the outside world, he knew that there was something wrong with his face. Think of always domineering Xin family, these days instead of calm very leisurely, feel more abnormal.


    As a result, sister an''s full moon banquet was very low-key. She invited only a few families close to each other, including Chen Shan and Xu Guang''s, Zhao''s and Luo''s. Shu Jing is pregnant and comes here specially. She greets chuihuamen leisurely. "You''re not convenient. Just send a servant to come here. You''re tired. It''s hard for me to come here in person."


    Shujing said with a smile, "now you are both satisfied with your children. I''m looking forward to coming here to enjoy your elder sister''s happiness and have a little cotton padded jacket!" Miss Luo had been careful to serve her mother. When she heard this, she couldn''t help shivering.


    Standing on the opposite side, leisurely just saw this scene, took Miss Luo''s hand and said, "isn''t your little padded jacket here?" Then he gave a wink.


    With Shujing''s EQ, she naturally won''t forget her elder daughter. She just thinks that she is careful when she comes in and asks about her biological mother in private. Shujing was a little annoyed at her, so she said this on purpose. Now, seeing her cautious appearance, Shujing sighed that she came down the leisurely steps and patted her hand. "How could I ever forget this eldest daughter, which I brought up when I was a baby. It''s just that it''s so easy to grow up with such a beautiful face. It''s hard for me to think about going to other people''s homes in a few years. It''s this big sister who''s so sweet that I want to have a small cotton padded jacket. When the big one comes out, the small one will accompany me, so as to save the loneliness around me. "


    After listening to this, the other hand of Miss Luo slowly loosened and said with a smile, "what does mother say? I don''t want to go to other people''s home. I''ll stay with my mother all my life."


    Shujing patted her hand with a smile. "Silly boy, you don''t think so after two years. Well, go and play with aunt Shen. I''ll talk to Mrs. Shen about parenting. "


    Before her, the rest of the women had arrived. As soon as Shujing came, the steward arranged for the ladies to attend. Chen Shan''s family looked at Wei sitting beside him with a pair of pearly appearance, and his heart was sour. Although Chen Shan gave her several hundred taels of banknotes, she was reluctant to dress up when she saw a couple of children approaching the age of marriage. What I wear is the green treasure hairpin I bought in the Dragon Boat Festival, and the gem is only the size of a lotus seed. The ruby on Wei''s golden step rock is as big as longan!


    The more Chen Shan''s family thought about it, the more angry she was. Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Luo couldn''t compare. Now even the Wei family is going to climb on their own head!


    They sat next to each other. Wei didn''t know her care. He only thought that she was older. Seeing her face was not good, he asked with concern, "what''s wrong with my sister-in-law''s face? But what''s wrong? " Chen Shan''s family said with a strong smile, "no, I didn''t sleep well last night. I''m old and I don''t sleep much. I wake up in the middle of the night with the sound of rain and I don''t fall asleep any more. "


    Wei replied, "there is too much rain here. It''s a bit annoying. But my sister-in-law says that I don''t recognize her age. You ask the ladies here to judge if we are the same age. "


    This table is respected by both of them. Wei said so, and others naturally agreed. "To tell you the truth, Mrs. Chen and I are about the same age. If you want me to say, we are about the same age when we first came to Rongcheng. I''ve been here for more than a year, but Mrs. Chen is getting younger and younger. "


    "It''s not easy," said a woman next to her. "It must be that the soil and water in Rongcheng is good. It''s not as big as the sandstorm in Beijing. After a long time, the skin looks good."


    Just now, the woman shook her head and said, "that''s not right. If you want to say that the soil and water here is good, why are only Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Wei getting younger and younger, and we are still old skinners? I don''t know how the two wives maintain themselves. Can you tell us the secret? "


    Chen Shan''s family was a little flurried by these words, and he said with a smile, "what''s the secret? Don''t you just live like you?"


    Wei said with a smile, "sister Chen is really forgetful! Why is there no secret Then he took out a delicate porcelain box from his pocket and said, "the secret is this. We all use the powder from the big girl''s shop before our skin gets better and better."


    A married woman said with a smile, "this is it! To tell you the truth, this girl also gave us two boxes for each person at the beginning, which is very useful. After I finished, I still wanted to buy another box to use. As a result, I was shocked when I asked about the price. This box of flour cream costs five Liang silver! I can only use it for one month, so I''m not willing to buy it. In addition, I bought a box of five silver, which is cheap and can be used for more than two months. It''s affordable! "


    Wei sneered, "you really lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame! Isn''t it just five taels a month? Who can''t afford it? If you don''t spend it, someone will spend it for you! Although it''s not easy for men to earn money outside, they can''t hold the white horse Lane in banyan city to attract men''s love! Let''s save money at home for the sake of twelve or eight taels of fat and powder. The men in the family are ungrateful and will only despise us for our old age! A trip to Baima Lane costs at least a few tens liang of silver. What we have spared no effort is not enough for others to squander! So spend what you should, and don''t save money! "


    The words made all the ladies in the room sink into meditation, and even the other table could not help nodding. There are only those who agree with us, and naturally there are also those who oppose us. One of the women''s dependents, Xu, was touched and couldn''t help saying, "they all say that women are the ones who please themselves. All the men in our family can''t stay at home for ten days and a half months. I''m just dressed up to show them!"

 Chapter 504

    It was Zhang, a young daughter-in-law, who was quite familiar with her. Seeing her like this, he quickly advised her, "OK, I''m just joking. It''s worth it!" Then he said in a low voice, "take back your tears quickly. You don''t want to think about what day it is today. You''re crying here!" A few of the women''s family members also comforted him. It''s ok if they didn''t persuade him. After persuading him, Zhang thought of his grievance and cried even more. Although she tried to take back her tears, the tears did not listen and rolled down.


    This situation, let Wei some quite at a loss. She always knew that Zhang''s life was not happy, for fear that she would be angry again, leisurely, home designated no good fruit to eat. So desperately take the PA Zi to help Zhang wipe tears, not for a while two people''s PA Zi to wet through.


    Just as Wei was about to find his servant girl to get a handkerchief, he saw a slender jade hand stretched out and handed over a white silk handkerchief. Zhang''s side sad while angry at their own failure, suddenly a cluster of delicate orchids appeared in front of their eyes. She followed the handkerchief and raised her head, only to see that it was the hostess of the banquet who was standing in front of her.


    Zhang''s heart more ashamed, quickly stood up to salute, "I lost my manners, disturbed the big girl''s full moon banquet, really shouldn''t! Please punish me, madam! "


    Leisurely didn''t take her words, just took the handkerchief to wipe off the residual tears from the corner of her eyes, and said in a soft voice, "it''s not wrong for a woman to please herself. But we are often limited. Who stipulates that the one who pleases himself must be a man? We women in this world is more difficult than men, if no one else to please themselves, then please yourself! Who says we have to dress up for men? Let''s put ourselves in a beautiful place. First of all, we are happy in our hearts. "


    Then he reached out to Su He and said, "take your dressing mirror." Su he quickly took out the mirror from his pocket and handed it to you ran. You ran put the mirror in front of Zhang and said, "remember what you look like now." It was the first time that Zhang used such a clear western mirror. He saw his eyes and nose crying red in the mirror, and his hair was a little messy. He felt that he couldn''t see it, so he put aside his head. Open mouth to see leisurely, eyes filled with guilt.


    Leisurely patted her hand and said with a smile, "you don''t have to feel guilty. What''s the best way to celebrate the full moon of every child? It''s just a way for us sisters to get together. Since I was pregnant, I have not been able to walk around and have few chances to get together with you. I didn''t know that you would suffer from this kind of grievance when you came here with my husband from afar. Now I know that I can''t manage other things, but I can help with my dressing. "


    Then he took Zhang''s hand and said, "I just caught up with you today. Let me dress you up myself. Please wait for a moment. " Smell speech, Zhang Shi even say don''t dare, the Wei Shi on the side pushed her a "you only see the madam''s dress then know madam, but this aspect''s expert, you still don''t hurry to follow up!" Seeing leisurely''s mild complexion, Zhang was also a little bit adrift. Unconsciously, he followed leisurely to the back hall.


    Leisurely let Zhang sit on a chair, there are already maid carrying washing things waiting here. Leisurely first let the servant girl serve her to clean up again. Seeing that leisurely was not serving herself, Zhang was relieved and let the servant girls help her. Leisurely looked at her, and summoned a little servant girl to order a few words, the little servant girl immediately ran away. After a while, Zhang washed his face and wiped the facial grease. Leisurely looked at Zhang''s bun and said, "your bun is a little loose. Please comb it again." Then she called the fennel over and said, "the maid''s hair is pretty good. Let her comb it for you. It''s just that your pretty face, with this bun, seems to be several years older and not good-looking. "


    He said to fennel, "lily bun, did your master teach you?"


    Fennel nodded, first helped Zhang to remove the original bun, took a grate to comb her hair thoroughly, and then began to braid her hair. Leisurely take advantage of this Kung Fu, picked up next to some of the powder box began to greet Zhang''s face.


    Zhang''s see leisurely hands-on, surprised to stand up, leisurely was a hold down "you sit, don''t move." See her complexion dignified, Zhang''s scared atmosphere also dare not come out, obediently sit there move dare not move.


    Leisurely picked up a white porcelain box with a jasmine pattern, opened it, dipped it with a small brush and brushed it on Zhang''s face, "you are young, you have a good foundation, you don''t need too heavy water powder. This one is made of superior white jasmine mixed with pearl powder. It''s even and light white on the face and can moisturize the skin. It''s better than the lead powder bought outside. " Then he opened a red porcelain box. There were some pink paste objects in it. Zhang could smell the fragrance of roses from a distance. Leisurely with Zhang''s hairpin removed from the head picked a little paste on the palm of her hand, and then gently rub her hands again and put it on her cheek and lips. By this time, fennel had combed her hair. Leisurely nodded and said, "I think it''s good. This bun really suits you." Then she looked down at the table next to her. There were only a pair of beaded hairpins and a beaded flower. The materials and workmanship were good. The earrings and bracelets should be complete sets. It just looks like it''s been a while. The gold is not so bright.


    She put on Zhang''s headdress again. When she saw that the side of a Bingdi Qiulan was just right, she cut it off with scissors and inserted it in Zhang''s hair. Then she said with a smile, "Qiulan is graceful, but it matches your appearance." Then he asked someone to show Zhang a mirror.


    Zhang looked at himself in the mirror and couldn''t help feeling the orchid in his hair. He exclaimed, "is this me? I don''t think it''s like me! "


    Leisurely smile patted her on the shoulder, "this is of course you! Remember, no matter where we are, we women should be nice to ourselves. We don''t cherish ourselves any more. Do we still expect others to cherish us? Just like orchids, even in the mountains and valleys without outsiders to appreciate, it will always strive to bloom. Some people say it''s narcissistic, but I think it''s self cherishing. I give this Qiulan to you today. I hope you can cherish and love yourself as well as it. "


    When the ladies in the flower hall saw that leisurely took Zhang, they were all curious. Some of them thought that leisurely would punish her secretly under the banner of taking her to wash. When people talk about it, someone will come up with one or two words. Some people who are good friends with Zhang are worried about Zhang though they don''t believe it.


    Just then, there was a commotion in the back hall, and then leisurely appeared in front of everyone with a bright and moving beauty.

 Chapter 505

    Who is this beauty?


    They didn''t recognize it at first. First, Wei exclaimed, "ah, is this really Sister Zhang?" After that, he stepped forward to Zhang and looked at her from beginning to end. Then, tut tut said, "if I hadn''t watched you go in and out with your wife and your clothes didn''t change, I wouldn''t have dared to recognize you. This change is really great. If you look at it carefully, you''ll still be the same person, but you''ll look better all at once. It''s incredible! "


    Others echoed, "isn''t it? It''s so beautiful all at once! "


    It was the first time that Zhang was attracted by this kind of attention, and he was very worried. It was Wei who pulled her under the seat that calmed her down. One of them, a daughter-in-law who had a good relationship with Zhang, asked, "Sister Zhang, what powder is on your face? It''s a lot whiter all at once? "


    Zhang touched his face and said, "it''s the lady who wiped it for me. It''s from the big girl''s shop." She is also a Zhiqu, and then she took out the powder box from her purse. "Madam gave me a box directly, that''s it. You see."


    The box recognized by some of you said, "isn''t this the jade hairpin powder in yurongzhai? I saw it last time. It costs 12 Liang silver for such a small box. It''s more expensive than huayanzhi. I didn''t dare to take a second look. "


    Other people echoed, and Zhang said with a smile, "if I had been in the past, I would not have been willing to buy it. Just now, I only used it once, and I knew that it was expensive. Madam said, this is made of superior white jasmine seed and pearl powder. It can not only hide the ugly but also moisturize the skin. How much better is it than the lead powder outside? You see, if I don''t say it, can you see the powder on my face? "


    After a close look, they really couldn''t see it. Wei said with a smile, "I can''t see it, but I know it as soon as I smell it. How else can I call it" smell the fragrance and know the beauty " This made Zhang''s face red, and everyone laughed.


    At this time, the nursing mother came with sister Ann in her arms. It''s easy for everyone to see that today''s Zhengzhu can''t help going to see sister an, and Zhang''s affairs have been exposed. However, after leaving the Shen family, the one who has a heart goes to the Yurong Zhai of Shen Xi to buy a lot. The passers-by who doesn''t know where to go also go to see the excitement. At first glance, many people took out the money, so the business of yurongzhai was very hot for a few days.


    Because leisurely got Shen Ze''s sign, the full moon banquet didn''t give Xin''s family a post at all. So anyone with a clear eye can see that this is the rhythm of the two families tearing their faces apart. Immediately the team of the team, don''t want to team on the wary clip in the middle, the atmosphere of Rongcheng suddenly tense up.


    Xin''s family has always been above the top. Seeing that Shen''s family didn''t even give him a post, the whole family was angry to death. General Xin angrily broke many porcelains at home. "Shen Ze is really deceiving people! But just because you are the Queen''s people, what''s the big deal? "


    On one side, young master Xin saw that there was a pair of precious Xuanyao porcelain pots in the broken porcelain. He was very distressed. If it was changed into silver, he would be able to go to Baima lane for half a month! It''s not important for Dad to start.


    In order to prevent his father from making such a fuss again, Xin Da Shao quickly comforted him and said, "why should my father have the same opinion with them? They will do nothing but look down on people by their origins. Since Shen Ze is so uninteresting, his father might as well give him a little face to see, so that he doesn''t know his manners! "


    General Xin nodded, "you''re right. I''ll go to consult with someone." Looking at the debris on the ground, he could not help frowning and saying, "hurry to find someone to clean up here. Don''t let your mother see it, or you''ll have to nag for half a month." He said he left in a hurry.


    This words hit Xin Da Shao''s heart. Seeing that general Xin had gone far away, he picked up a black jade paperweight and a water drop from Ru kiln on his desk and put them into his arms. Then he cleared his throat and called for his servants to come in and clean up.


    I don''t know how general Xin actually operated. Within a few days, there were rumors all over Rongcheng City that there was a remnant of the royal family of Jinsha Kingdom coming to the port of Rongcheng. They had already plundered many ships at sea. The invasion of Japanese pirates is not a trivial matter. The generals of Fujian urgently get together to discuss the matter. Without waiting for Shen Ze to speak, general Xin said, "I remember that the governor and the former loyal Duke personally exterminated the Jinsha Kingdom, and I don''t know where the remaining evils of the royal family came from now."


    Shen Ze''s cronies were naturally not angry. Xu Guang and others were just about to say something, but Shen Ze raised their hands to stop them. "What general Xin said was that he was also curious. Except for those who were annihilated in the war, the rest of the royal family of Jinsha were in the capital now. All the places where they lived were guarded by the imperial guards, and the general had never heard of any changes in Beijing. We have to find out this matter after all! "


    Xu Guang quickly agreed that "it''s just that some small pirates did these activities under the name of Jinsha state."


    Shen Ze frowned and said, "no matter what the people behind us come from, we can''t let them harm our people. However, I have had people check it. There are hundreds of people coming, and even guns, so I can''t be careless. General Xin, I don''t trust that these Japanese pirates will be handed over to others. Why don''t you take charge of suppressing bandits this time? "


    General Xin frowned at first. He wanted to block Shen Ze''s business. Unexpectedly, he turned around and threw the hot potato to himself. Then he thought, it''s nothing to take a trip. It''s just a chance to "earn some" military merit, and also to seize the opportunity to win over the underdog. Therefore, with a little hesitation, he agreed.


    However, what general Xin never thought was that once he went, he never came back! Most of the soldiers who went with him to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates were killed and injured. Later, it was Shen Ze who personally led the people to the battle that wiped out the "Pirates" at one stroke.


    In the end, it''s the third grade military officer. Naturally, the news of his death will be reported to the capital.


    The emperor frowned after reading the urgent news from Fujian. Originally, he thought that the Xin family had been operating in Fujian for many years, so they should have some influence, just to contain Shen Ze. I didn''t expect his bad luck! No matter what''s wrong with his death, it''s obvious that Shen Ze has grasped the military power of the southwest coast. What should we do to get rid of his military power?

 Chapter 506

    The emperor was worried that Shen Zebing''s power would bring great threat to him. He only felt a surge of anger in his heart, and his actions brought him some unhappiness. In Qianyuan palace, when people saw Wansui''s bad face, they all served him carefully, but some of them were punished for their bad luck.


    The news that the emperor was in a bad mood came to Shen Tian''s ears. Shen Tian knew what was going on after a little thought. He was a bit contemptuous in his heart. The long live master is more and more careful now. You want people to work hard for you, but you don''t want to give people any benefits. How can such a good thing come from this world?


    Thinking of this, she asked Qinghe around her in a low voice, "if the new year is over, the filial piety period of the former Emperor will be over. What''s the matter with all the people at the bottom?"


    Qinghe hurriedly and respectfully replied, "according to the order of the empress, I''ve been ready for a long time. I''m clean and can''t find any fault."


    Shen Tian nodded, "you''ve always done everything well. I''m at ease. Thanks to the loyal company of you and Qiushi these years, otherwise I don''t know how to survive in this cold harem. "


    Qinghe''s eyes look at her once bright and open-minded girl who is forced to work step by step like this. She only feels that her nose is a little sour. "When the Emperor gave her marriage, the maidservants were very happy for her. Now over the years, looking at the hard life of the empress, I only have heartache left. "


    Seeing that her eyes were red when she spoke, Shen Tian gave a light smile and patted her hand. "Well, I just said that by the way. I''m tired. Our aunt Qinghe is going to lose golden beans. You don''t know the temperament of your master. No matter who you marry, it''s not destined to be a stop. Now it''s good. Although life is hard, there''s a rush. Besides, how big the Forbidden City is, it''s better to stay here than to be trapped in a common backyard. If you want to see a play outside, you have to pay for the troupe. Here, needless to say, there are so many people scrambling to perform for me every day. It''s interesting, isn''t it? "


    Even the capital city thousands of miles away has a little wave for the death of general Xin, not to mention the banyan city, the headquarters of the Xin family.


    Ordinary people naturally don''t know the twists and turns here. They only know that governor Shen once again beat back the pirates and helped them maintain the safety of Fujian. The common people are jubilant, and it is obvious that Shen Ze has been worshipped as a God in the street.


    As for the suspicions of the generals in the army, Shen Ze didn''t think much of them. He thought that according to the nature of the emperor, he would not stay here for long if there was no accident.


    Shen Ze back home, see leisurely a face of resentment looking at himself, can''t help but wonder "what''s the matter? I won the battle and I''m not happy to see you back? "


    Leisurely sighed, "I''m glad that you won the war, but I think you know better than me what happened in this war. I''m just fighting for the innocent fishermen. It had nothing to do with them, but it was hurt by some people because of their own interests. The better can still fall a whole body, and the less fortunate can''t even find a skeleton. This general Xin is just a crime to deserve to die! But this kind of people still enjoy the glory of death in the name of heroism. I don''t even think about it. "


    After listening to her daughter-in-law''s words, Shen Ze patted her hand. "You can rest assured that I won''t let him enjoy the glory after death just for the sake of those people who died miserably."


    In this way, leisurely knew that his husband had made a decision again. First he was happy, then he was disappointed. "Unfortunately, I originally wanted to deal with the Xin family from other places, but I didn''t expect that heaven had eyes and let this man die in his own hands. It''s a pity."


    Smell speech, Shen Ze only silently nod, no words, some inside information is hidden in his heart, if there is any private retribution also don''t involve his family.


    In fact, even if Shen Ze did not say, leisurely from his expression and this series of changes also see some clues. Leisurely knows that Shen Ze doesn''t say it''s for his own good. After all, these things are involved in the lawsuit. Shen Ze is afraid that if he knows it, he will not be able to bear it. But he didn''t know that leisurely was not a woman born and raised in this era. She had experienced so much information bombing in her previous life. How could she not see through the mystery? Leisurely doesn''t like to see blood, but it''s not the kind of white lotus. She especially likes a great man''s saying that if people don''t offend me, I won''t be a prisoner. If people offend me, I will be a prisoner! The Xin family has never done anything for general Xin, because the reward from the imperial court has not come down yet. All the people of the Xin family think that general Xin was killed by suppressing bandits. The imperial court always has a saying, so they keep his body in ice all the time. It''s also thanks to the rich family background of Xin family, otherwise the daily load of ice can''t be used by ordinary people.


    Unfortunately, to the despair of the Xin family, they did not wait for the reward from the imperial court. Instead, they were exiled because the charges of embezzling military pay, risking military merit, buying and selling official posts, and taking bribes were exposed. The once majestic general''s office collapsed overnight.


    This day when leisurely went out, she happened to meet the Xin family''s female dependents who were sold. She looked at Mrs. Xin from a distance. Now she was a prisoner who was slaughtered by others. Instead of the relief of revenge, she felt sad.


    Leisurely looked for a while, then put down the car curtain, let the driver drive away from here. No matter how pitiful the wife of the Xin family is, she can''t be soft hearted at the moment, otherwise she will bring disaster to herself in the future.


    The carriage finally came to Yongquan temple outside the city. The abbot of the temple got the news early and waited outside the mountain gate. He saw leisurely coming up and down from the carriage. "Amitabha, I''ve been waiting here for a long time."


    Leisurely hastily return a gift "have laborer Zhang to wait for a long time."


    They exchanged greetings and entered the temple gate.


    For religion, leisurely feelings have always been contradictory. On the one hand, after so many years of science education, she felt that these things were superstitious. On the other hand, she can travel through this strange time and space, which is not very scientific, so she has to be full of respect for these things. In addition, she has been here for so many years. Every year, she just goes through the motions and donates a lot of money and incense in the temple.


    This time, she came for the innocent people who died in the hands of "Pirates". Leisurely out of the silver, let Rongcheng Yongquan temple, the most famous to hold a super ceremony for them, also can be regarded as a consolation for the dead. Today is the last day of the ceremony. She came to offer incense in person and expressed her piety.


    After the incense, leisurely will go out. The abbot sent her to the door again, praising that "the lady is kind-hearted, and the local people are really blessed."


    Leisurely hakodai: "abbot, I''m flattered. It''s just what I can do." After I got on the carriage, I laughed at myself. I was kind-hearted. After all, I just spent money to buy some peace of mind. Then he looked down at the peace talisman she had sent to him by her father-in-law before parting. I hope that she can eliminate Shen Ze''s evils by doing these things.

 Chapter 507

    After leisurely returning home, Shen Ze came home early and was playing with sister an. "Why did you come back so early today?" he asked


    Originally quiet and clever sister an heard her mother''s voice and suddenly began to cry. Leisurely first took Shen Ze''s hand and looked at her daughter, "is the baby good today? Will dad hold it? "


    When Ann saw her mother, her little hand suddenly came out of her swaddling clothes and waved to let her mother hold her. One side of the nursing mother said with a smile, "the elder sister is really smart. She was very clever when her wife was away just now. When she saw her, she began to be lively."


    Leisurely, I haven''t seen my daughter for a long time, and I miss her very much. I just thought that I had just come back from the outside. I was afraid that I was not clean. I went to the inner room to change my clothes and simply cleaned up. Seeing her mother''s shaking in front of her, an''s sister suddenly burst into tears, letting Shen Ze and her mother coax her in vain.


    Leisurely washed his face, even before he had time to wipe the facial grease, he ran out and took his daughter from Shen Ze''s arms. "You little man, your mother just changed her clothes, can''t wait? How good is it for Dad to hold it? " As soon as sister an arrived at leisurely arms, she calmed down and listened to her mother''s words. She was still babbling, as if she could understand them.


    Shen Ze looked at her daughter''s lovely appearance and couldn''t help flicking her forehead. "You little man." Perhaps the strength is a little bit bigger, just stopped sister an began to open her mouth and cry.


    "You don''t know how to control your strength. You see, Ann''s forehead is red."


    Shen Ze quickly said with a smile, "it''s not mine. I take sister an as the two smelly boys. I forget that she''s a girl and she''s not as rough as the boys."


    Leisurely gas did not pay attention to him, the daughter to the inside to give her milk. Sister an soon fell asleep after she was full. Although she prepared two lactating mothers for her daughter early in the morning, she did not let her daughter eat their milk. She always thinks that it''s better to feed her own children, and the nursing mother just helps to take care of them. Even the two boys had a big appetite at that time and didn''t eat other people''s milk.


    To see her daughter asleep, leisurely call the nurse will hold her to the compartment. He sat down opposite Shen Ze, and Shen Ze asked her, "I heard you went to Yongquan temple to pray today?"


    Nodding leisurely, "yes, I went to donate some incense and silver, and asked the masters to help the innocent and miserable dead to pass the time. You came back late these two days, and I forgot to tell you. But what''s wrong? "


    Shen Ze shook his head. "What''s wrong with this? I heard that you didn''t withdraw money from the external accounting room. I think you must have spent your private room again, so I want to supplement you. " With that, he took out a stack of bank notes from his arms and said, "these are for you. You don''t need to keep accounts in the public, just take them as your private money."


    Leisurely took a look, about 20000 taels of silver, can not help but wonder, "I thought my business mind is good, did not expect you are not bad."


    This made Shen Ze laugh. "What''s the point? It''s just that some of them used to depend on the Xin family, but now they''ve fallen back and come to surrender. Those left behind are not Xin''s confidants. I didn''t intend to catch them all. But since they feel that they can only be relieved by spending some money, I can only accept it Leisurely knew that it was a common occurrence in officialdom, so she said, "although there is not too much silver, I always feel hot with it. When I was passing by today, I heard that there were many orphans because of something happened a while ago. There are also many homeless widows in Fuji nunnery. Our family doesn''t need the money. We''d better give it to them. "


    After listening to leisurely''s plan, Shen Ze pondered, "your intention is good, but if you donate all the money, it''s too much. Why don''t you just send some rice, flour and clothes instead of silver? On the one hand, the manager of the province will take advantage of it. On the other hand, things are always more low-key than cash. Don''t have too many things. Find someone to change their identity and send them in batches. " Leisurely smile nodded "or Xianggong you think thoughtful, according to you said to do."


    She was thinking about what to buy and who to look for to do it. Shen Ze asked, "how many properties do we have here?"


    Leisurely a pick eyebrow "many, how?"


    Shen Ze gently rubbed the armrest with his fingers. "No matter how much, come back first. I don''t think our majesty will trust me to stay here too long. "


    This question leisurely once thought about, so he nodded and said, "I think so too, but we''ve only been here for less than two years. Your majesty, even if you are not at ease, you will have to wait until your three-year term of office is over. "


    Shen Ze nodded, "I''ll just talk about it casually. If something can be dealt with in advance, it can be dealt with ahead of time. We''ll be caught unprepared by the imperial edict."


    After the matter was agreed, leisurely did not take it into consideration. She thought about how her family still had more than half a year to deal with it. So I just mentioned it to Yang Lu and asked him to make plans earlier, while I was busy donating materials and building a porridge shed outside the city to make porridge.


    However, it took only three days for the porridge shed to be built, and the imperial edict came from the middle of the court, asking Shen Ze to take 30000 elite soldiers to the southwest to support Nanzhao county. It turned out that the Lancang state took advantage of the lax border guard on the Mid Autumn Festival to sneak attack on Ankang state, which is adjacent to Nanzhao. The Lancang state was not powerful, and the Annam state didn''t think so. But Lancang state colluded with the northern Prince of the Annam state for a long time, and soon captured the Annam state. Under the protection of his own soldiers, the crown prince of Annan fled to Nanzhao house in Dakang.


    Because of this, the magistrate of Nanzhao sent an urgent report to the imperial court. The emperor was angry and wanted to send troops from the capital to the south. But at this time, Yumenguan in the northwest was also invaded by small countries such as Wusun and Dawan Xiaowan. The soldiers in the capital are limited. On the one hand, the emperor sent people to support them separately. On the other hand, he wrote an imperial edict to send people to Fujian to help Shen Ze.


    The military situation was urgent, so Shen Ze had to pack his bags in a hurry, and now he was ready to go. Leisurely know the news, although in the heart some unknown premonition, but still quick to help him pack up a lot of useful salute. She silently took him to the gate, bit his lower lip and said, "I know you are brave and resourceful. I''m not afraid that you will fight with the enemy. I''m afraid that" it''s easy to hide a gun, but hard to defend a hidden arrow. "

 Chapter 508

    Shen Ze naturally knew what the "hidden arrow" in leisurely''s mouth meant. He reached out and patted her on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "don''t worry, I will pay attention to it carefully. Moreover, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. There are some things that the emperor can''t reach. You don''t have to worry too much about me. Take care of yourself and the children. If there is any change, don''t go to the capital. Go overseas by boat. "


    Seeing that Shen Ze had thought about his future, leisurely he knew that he was well prepared for that man in his heart. But she didn''t want to let the other party worry about herself when they killed the enemy in the battlefield, so she said with a smile, "it''s not as exaggerated as you said. Now the Grand Prince is not weak, and your Majesty''s offspring are not rich. In the past three or two years, it won''t be so dangerous."


    However, she couldn''t make sure that her Majesty was not a calm person. She couldn''t wait to kill her father-in-law, who had made great achievements in the war. For others, who knows how much patience he can have?


    Listen to her words, Shen Ze helplessly light hiss a "hope so."


    After Shen Ze left, he took care of the children and began to deal with his family''s property. Although I don''t know how long this battle will last, I guess their family won''t stay here for long. Leisurely, I can''t help but be glad that I didn''t buy a lot of good land here in order to save some effort. Besides this house, I only have those shops on hand, which is relatively easy to sell.


    Leisurely handed the matter over to Yang Lu, who naturally agreed. When he returned to the yard, Xu asked, "are you back so soon? What can I do for you, cousin? "


    Yang Lu just sat down on the chair. "My cousin wants to get rid of all the shops in her hand. I''ll go out in a moment and find a reliable middleman."


    Xu was surprised and asked, "why is the shop going to be sold all of a sudden?"


    Yang Lu looked at her and knew that she didn''t know anything about the current situation. She sighed, "the things are too complicated. I told you that you don''t understand. No matter what the outcome of my brother-in-law''s expedition, he can''t continue to do it. Sooner or later, we have to go back to the capital. It''s better to make plans as soon as possible. "


    Hearing this, Xu said disappointedly, "our family''s business has just improved. We are going back to Beijing. I think I''m going to find a house to live in. "


    Yang Lu said with a smile, "what''s the point? Our home is not here. If we buy a house here, we will leave sooner or later. If we have money in hand, we''d better go back to the capital and buy a house. "


    This is Xu''s appearance. "My husband is right. Our house is only a second entrance. I used to think it was quite spacious. But now I think it''s a bit embarrassing. When brother Ming marries his daughter-in-law and has a grandson, he''ll be even younger. It''s really reasonable to go back to Beijing and buy a house. " Then he frowned and asked, "what about our business? I won''t do it in the future? "


    Yang Lu replied, "I didn''t plan to do it often. After all, don''t you also hope that brother Ming will be able to take the exam in the future? If you have a businessman''s father, it''s not good for his future reputation. "


    This let Xu particularly disappointed, "unfortunately, such a good business can not be done after." She knows how much money her husband has made in the sea trade business in the past two years. Now when she hears that her husband wants to stop, she feels bleeding in her heart.


    Seeing her so haggard, Yang Lu sighed helplessly, "well, don''t be dejected. What do you look like! Thanks to our cousin''s family, we have made more than ten thousand silver in these businesses, which we didn''t dare to think of before. We must be satisfied. I''ve asked someone to buy 600 mu of good land in the suburbs of Beijing. In addition, I bought nearly 1000 mu of land before. I can always get a thousand taels of silver a year, which is enough for our family. What''s more, we''ve already explored the way here. After we go back, we''ll buy a house, and then we''ll take the rest of the money to set up a shop. Why can''t we support your mother? "


    Hearing that he had already planned, Xu was relieved. "I was just a little flustered when I first heard that the business could not be done. If I had known that you had planned, what would be so sad? Although I''m greedy for money, I don''t want you to do this sea trade business in my heart. It''s too risky. Every time I hear people talking about the salvage of a sunken ship on the sea or something, my heart suddenly panics. It''s better to go back to Beijing. Let''s do some small business safely. The whole family is better than anything. In fact, I''ve had enough of this place for a long time. The food and drink are not the same as ours. Let''s go out. I can''t understand what other people say. I can''t even go shopping. " Hearing Xu''s words, Yang Lu was a little surprised. "Lady, today''s words really make her husband look at her with new eyes! When did you become so reasonable? " Not to mention Xu, even when he first heard the news, he was disappointed to know that this profiteering business could not continue. At first, he was afraid that he would do anything radical when he was disappointed with Xu''s temperament, so he came to appease her first. Unexpectedly, she was much happier than he thought


    Xu said with a smile, "you can only look at people with old eyes. You don''t think that I live in the same house with your intelligent and open-minded cousin all day long. Why can''t I learn how to behave? If you don''t believe me, you should believe your cousin. "


    To see her such a righteous look, Yang LV couldn''t help laughing.


    After seeing off Yang Lu, leisurely sent someone to write to Jingzhong, told his younger brother about the situation here, and asked him to help pay attention to the trend of Chaozhong.


    After writing the letter, she asked someone to take out the pamphlet of her warehouse. As soon as she wanted to make a list of her family, she heard that a piece of red sandalwood had been sent outside. Leisurely and quickly went out to see a time, see that the wood is good, then the person put away. Over the past two years, she has accumulated a lot of red sandalwood and yellow pear wood, as well as a few pieces of ebony and Hercules, and the worst is red sour branch, which is enough to give sister an a decent dowry.


    When I think of the dowry, I can''t help thinking of Shen Xi''s marriage. Her dowry has been prepared in the early days. The furniture is mostly made of yellow pear wood and red sour branches, and there are several kinds of red sandalwood. But now her marriage has not been settled, and the furniture can only be piled up in the Treasury of the capital. She will be 19 years old after the end of the new year, and she will be very old in the aristocratic class who advocate late marriage. It''s just that it''s useless to be in a hurry now. We can only make plans after we go back to Beijing.


    If you want to talk about this person, it''s not easy to talk about it. Leisurely just finished worrying about Shen Xi''s marriage, she came in with taoliang''s hand.

 Chapter 509

    Leisurely busy to them to his side, "how do you have time to come over?"


    Since they jointly opened a rouge shop, they have been very busy all day. Either working in the shop or going to Chuang Tzu to check the raw materials of fresh flowers and think about new products.


    They look at each other. After Shen Xi sits down, he directly opens the door to the mountain road. "Sister in law, I heard that after the Xin family is copied, his shops will be sold. You said, "can I buy his gold shop?"


    Leisurely asked in surprise, "Why are you interested in his gold shop? Is it difficult to do gouache business and want to do jewelry business? "


    Shen Xi said with a smile, "how can I? With the help of my sister-in-law, the business of my shop is very good. The goods in it are often out of stock. Isn''t it because the business is so good that I think the original shop is a little small and I want to change to a big one? Taoliang and I have been in Rongcheng for a long time. We think that the shop belongs to Xin''s is the most suitable one. If I hadn''t thought about it before, now I can''t help it. "


    Leisurely sighed, "it''s normal for you to have a hot eye for a good shop like that, big and spacious. But I advise you not to think about that shop any more


    Taoliang immediately asked, "why? Hasn''t it been sold yet? We don''t want any silver! "


    It''s a child''s talk! "It seems that you really earned a lot, but it''s not a matter of money. You''re not the only ones who are interested in such a conspicuous shop. It''s already decided by others! It just didn''t show up in the face. Moreover, even if no one occupied the shop, you should not buy it. If you have silver in your hand, why don''t you ask someone to find a shop in the capital? "


    Shen Xi''s news is better than taoliang''s: "sister-in-law, is our family really going back to the capital?"


    Nodding leisurely, "I don''t think I''ll leave right away, but I don''t think I''ll be here long. You should take care of what you have. You should take care of it. Don''t take it by surprise. "


    Shen Xi heard this, although some lost, but soon adjusted his mind. Most of the time she opened this shop was to pass the time. After all, she also knew that if she wanted to open a shop by herself, she would not even have private property before she came out of the cabinet. It''s not too disappointing that this shop can''t be built now.


    However, Tao Liang was lost for a few days when he heard the news. Or Yulian knows her temperament and shows her the dowry box she bought for her in the past two years. After seeing the boxes of pearls and gems that his mother had prepared for him, taoliang was happy again.


    Leisurely know this news, dumbfounded, let a person will play his new set of inlaid bead head to peach good sent, to show comfort.


    In the past two years, when she saw better pearls and gems, she kept them. However, she always had a high vision, and most of them were high-quality products. It costs a lot of gold and silver jewelry to wear before sister an goes out of the cabinet in the future, and the gold and silver jewelry here is much cheaper than that in the capital. So while they were still there, they were busy buying gold, precious stones, spices, foreign goods and so on. As for other fabrics, such as silk and satin, she thought that the patterns of these things would be renovated year by year, and there were a lot of them at home, so she only bought a few of the best, which were all good things that had been handed down for generations. If she wants to buy something, it will be delivered directly by a big businessman, and the price is absolutely not high. Therefore, Yulian and Xu also took the opportunity to buy a lot of good things.


    Xu went back to Yang Lu and muttered, "I really don''t see my cousin hurt her daughter like this. Sister an is only a few months old, and people are busy preparing her dowry. If you want to say that sister Yulian loves taoliang, it''s because she has only one girl. Who don''t give it to her? My cousin has two sons! I think she bought a whole box of pearls and gemstones. She spent nearly ten thousand taels every day these two days. Listen to her meaning, these are all prepared for sister an. She is so generous that she does not think about what her two sons will do in the future? "


    Smell speech, Yang Law helplessly shakes his head, "that day just praised you, today again make old trouble.". My cousin spent her own money, but it didn''t work for you. What''s your hurry? Cousin is not the kind of heart without spectrum, so do her own reason. What''s more, it''s the same with big families. As long as they have their own daughter, they have been accumulating dowries for their daughter since childhood. Small to needle and thread cloth head, big to farm floor shop, eat and drink with everything. We used to have a poor family, but now we have some. You should take this opportunity to buy more gold, silver and jewelry for sister Fang and marry her in law''s family. All these are her strength. " Xu quickly nodded and echoed, "I know. I bought a lot of them, didn''t I?" Then he took a few boxes of things he bought to show him, but he was reluctant to give them to his daughter. Although she loves her daughter, she always feels that her daughter is going to get married in the future, so she is only willing to give a small part to Fang''s sister and leave the rest to her children and grandchildren.


    Yang Lu glanced at them and saw that they were all ordinary goods. He knew that she loved silver, and he knew that she was partial to her eldest son. Therefore, although she didn''t say anything, she secretly bought two boxes of precious stones and pearls with excellent water head, together with some of the precious stones and pearls she had saved before, which she entrusted to leisurely for her future marriage.


    Leisurely see things also some doubt "since it is for Fang sister-in-law, how don''t let cousin put away, Ba Ba put me here?"


    Yang Lu sighed, "well, don''t you know your cousin''s temperament? She has always been partial to ming''er. If these things were left with her, she would not know how much she could get? It''s better for you to collect it first, and I''ll put it directly into her dowry when she comes out of the cabinet in the future, so as to save the fuss. "


    What Yang Lu said is also the normal state of the world, "the water splashed by the married daughter"! For many years, people have been deeply influenced by this kind of thought. Leisurely, they can''t change it. They can only treat these girls better within their own ability.


    Leisurely constantly looking for things to do for themselves, often late into the night to sleep, not long because of pregnancy and slightly plump figure again thin down. Because she dare not let herself idle down, as long as there is leisure, she can''t help but worry about Shen Ze who is going to fight outside.


    Although this is not the first time for Shen Ze, it is the one that worries her most. Fortunately, a month later, she received a letter from Shen Ze, which said that he had arrived safely and asked her not to worry.

 Chapter 510

    It''s impossible to say that you don''t care. It''s just that leisurely has always been an introverted person, and in front of the children, naturally he won''t feel sad every day. He tries to keep a gentle attitude every day.


    Children under one year old are the fastest growing, and they will change after a few days. Thanks to sister an, this little girl makes some strange situations every day, which restrains most of leisurely''s energy. In addition, although the two boys are still obedient, they can''t help being mischievous and mischievous by nature. They often do things that make people laugh and cry. Leisurely, they feel that they are approaching the rebellious period now, and they also spare some time to communicate with them every day.


    In addition to some human exchanges and other trivia, the time is inadvertently at the end of the year. Shen Ze sent several letters one after another, saying that they had defeated the enemy of Lancang and retreated to the territory of Annam. Now Dakang has no worries. However, the court did not deny the Nanan Prince''s request for Dakang to help recover the lost land, so the war became stalemate.


    Judging from Shen Ze''s letter, there should be no big problem in defeating Lancang. As for other things, if the southwest war was deliberately like this in Dakang, then the northwest was really in a deadlock. Leisurely pieced together the situation in the northwest from the Imperial Palace newspapers and some gossip. Originally, the northwest border became desolate after the war a few years ago. The local people tried every means to escape to the pass, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled, resulting in a serious shortage of local troops. Although the imperial court''s reinforcements had arrived, many soldiers fell ill when they arrived in the northwest. Therefore, the commander-in-chief of Northwest China only tried his best to recover some lost land. If he wanted to completely fight back the invaders, it was difficult to do so in a short time.


    In such a situation, there are not many generals in the court who can fight. Except for a few old, weak, sick and disabled, there are really few talents available. Therefore, no matter how suspicious the man is, he can''t attack Shen Ze at this time.


    Five years ago, the Yang family returned to the capital in the name of visiting relatives and giving new year''s gifts. At the same time, leisurely also asked him to take back the wood and some bulky items he had accumulated. The gold and silver left in Rongcheng are soft and relatively easy to carry.


    It was just that there were not many people in my family, so I left the Yang family all of a sudden, and the whole house seemed empty, even for the Spring Festival. In the absence of the adults, for the first time this year, Kangtai showed his responsibility and spirit as the eldest son. Whether it''s human relations or controlling people, Kangtai is much better than leisurely''s imagination.


    Looking at the original milk dumpling suddenly became a modest and polite young man, to see the eldest son so promising, leisurely is doubly gratified.


    Leisurely estimated that the court would never let the southeast war linger for too long. After all, with the nearly 100000 troops there, there are now 150000 people gathered there. The daily food requirement of so many soldiers is not a small amount. In addition, in the later years of the reign of the former Emperor, there were frequent events in the court, and the Treasury was not very full. Therefore, the emperor would not let the war last too long for public and private affairs. Now it''s just to get more benefits from Annan.


    As soon as the first month came out, leisurely began to pack up. Except for some commonly used furnishings and appliances, the rest should be packed. He just waited for the news from there and then left for the north.


    As leisurely expected, good news came from the Imperial Palace newspaper before February. Shen Ze, as the commander-in-chief, is on his way back to Beijing with his army.


    Then the imperial court''s reward came down. In addition to gold, silver and jewelry, there was also a decree from the empress dowager, who immediately went to Beijing to receive the reward with the family members of Shen Ze, the commander of Southeast China.


    Although there is no letter, leisurely is some can''t wait to leave here. But when this day really came, leisurely suddenly gave birth to a strong not give up. After living here for more than two years, I have some feelings. In addition, the journey is thousands of miles away. I''m afraid I will never come here again in my life. Such a thought, leisurely not give up more deeply.


    But the imperial envoy was waiting in the post house, and he had only three days to pack up and say goodbye to the lady''s family. Seeing that Shen Ze had made military contributions and returned to Beijing to report on his work, everyone was willing to burn the hot stove of the Shen family. With the imperial edict, the Shen family would not be quiet for a moment, and they would be crowded with people who came to see them off every day. Rao is leisurely, only to see a few people have to see, or busy feet do not touch the ground. Fortunately, most of the things have already been packed up, or I don''t even have the time to sleep.


    A few days later, leisurely again boarded the official ship, all the way to the capital.


    Shen Ze and his party did not go along with them. The army went by inland water, mostly along rivers, much closer than by sea. Otherwise, he will come back and join leisurely before leaving.


    When they came, the boat was smooth, and the journey was smooth, so they didn''t arrive in less than a month. Now the return is retrograde, the boat is slow, and there are several storms on the way. Although they also took the water route later, it took them more than three months to get to the capital.


    At the beginning of the boat ride, Rongcheng, located in the South China Sea, was still chilly in spring. When they got to the capital, it was already a hot time for everyone to shake their fans.


    Shen Ze gets a leisurely letter. He estimates that she will arrive in the next two days. Early in the morning, he sends his family to wait at the dock. When he meets his official ship, his family members run to the Yamen to deliver the letter to Shen Ze.


    On the other hand, the steward who was guarding here was busy getting on the boat to greet leisurely, and asked people to carry the sedan chair prepared in the morning to the boat to prepare leisurely waiting for the masters to go ashore.


    Leisurely, they first went ashore in sedan chair and then changed carriages. When I got to the gate of the city, I lifted the car curtain leisurely and saw the towering gate building in front of me. I was really filled with emotion. Into the city, through the thin window screen, you can still see the bustling crowd on the street. Although Rongcheng is also a very prosperous sea trade port, it has fewer people than the capital. Besides, the weather is also different. At the foot of the emperor, even the bluestone slabs on the road show a different kind of grand atmosphere.


    The carriage soon arrived in front of the house. People left behind in the house knew that the hostess was coming back. They cleaned the house early in the morning and spread the red carpet to more than ten meters in front of the door. The middle door, which had been closed all the time, was now open, and the servants were waiting on both sides of the door to welcome the hostess''s return.

 Chapter 511

    Back in the backyard, leisurely met the steward and others who came to salute, and let them down. Home early in the morning ready hot water, leisurely bubble a hot bath, wash away a tired, and then a little bit of rice, then a deep sleep.


    In the end, sister an''s cry awakened her. Leisurely get up, touch some dizzy head, ask "now what time?" While asking, she got out of bed and put on her shoes. Then she hugged her with a smile and said, "is my sister awake? How about sleeping here? "


    Sister an has been one and a half years old, and her speech is very clear. "Well, it would be better if she was hugged by her mother." Then he buried his head in leisurely neck and tried to be coquettish.


    Su he said, "it''s the beginning of Shenshi now."


    Counting the time, she slept for an hour and a half, leisurely blame "I sleep so long, you don''t call me!"


    Su he said with a smile, "how long has my wife not been sleeping so well? Seeing that you are sleeping so well, I can''t bear to ask you to sleep a little longer. "


    Leisurely hold sister an for a while, then let the nurse take her to the garden to play. When sister an came back for the first time, she felt fresh and curious about every part of the house, so she had a good time.


    When her daughter left, she took a sip of tea and asked, "have you sent all the posts before lunch?" Since she came back, she had to send a letter to someone close to her. As for the earth instruments and other things she brought back, she hasn''t seen them for several years. She has to visit them in person. It''s better to send them out in person.


    Gan song replied, "the boys who sent the letter are all back. Everyone is very happy to hear that his wife is back. It''s still OK for others. I heard that my wife knew that she was going to come back to Beijing, and she was going to come by car now. It''s still my uncle and grandmother who talked me into it. "


    Smell speech, leisurely light sigh tone "I also miss my mother very much, tomorrow first go back to my mother''s home." As far as she is concerned, Lin''s mother can''t compare with her previous mother; But for Lin Mu, this body is her own daughter. No matter when, no matter how old, children are the most worrying in the eyes of parents.


    Knowing the news that his daughter-in-law had returned to Beijing, Shen Ze went home early in the afternoon. The couple didn''t see each other for more than half a year. Naturally, they have unspeakable affection. Others are OK, but sister an doesn''t know Shen Ze because she was young when she left home. In particular, Shen Ze had been in the southwest for so many days, and his skin was quite tanned. The people who fought in the war had a strong sense of desperation. As soon as PU met her, sister an was frightened by her father and began to cry.


    Leisurely coax her for a long time, and take before she has been to see the portrait of Shen Ze and I contrast. Sister an looked at it for a long time, but she still didn''t recognize it. Shen Ze suddenly turned into a string of crystal clear sugar gourd from behind. With the temptation to eat and the nature of father and daughter, sister an gradually became familiar with her father.


    But in the evening, looking at the sister who was sleeping between them, Shen Ze was a little sad. Strange to say, originally saw her fall asleep, Shen Ze is to let the nursing mother take her out. But as long as she left the bed for half a step, she began to cry with her eyes closed. After two or three times of this, Shen Ze was not in any mood. I had to let this little girl sleep between them.


    After they had been separated for so long, there were still many departures to talk about. After talking for a long time, Shen Ze suddenly mentioned Shen Jiang, "by the way, I forgot to tell you that brother Jiang''s marriage has something to look forward to."


    Originally some sleepy leisurely a listen to this words suddenly sober a few minutes "really? Whose girl is it? " Shen Jiang''s marriage should have been settled for a long time, but his situation is neither high nor low. In recent years, he has been running back and forth with Shen Ze, so he has been delayed.


    Leisurely plan is to settle down in Beijing as soon as possible after Shen Xi and Shen Jiang''s marriage to do. It''s just that it''s still hard to get married. Although Shen Jiang has been through six grades with his military achievements, he is still not a good match for those middle-class families. His rank is too low for him. Now I''ve heard that Shen Jiang''s marriage has begun. Why are you not happy? Shen Ze said with a smile, "it''s no one else. It''s Chen Shan''s daughter."


    On hearing this, leisurely''s first reaction is, Chen Shan''s family? Chen Shan is OK. His daughter-in-law Guo''s is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If Shen Jiang is her son-in-law, it''s hard to get a good word. It''s just that Guo''s eyes are always above the top. A few years ago, he revealed that he wanted to marry sister Xi for his son. Can such a person fall in love with Shen Jiang, an orphan whose parents died and who has no permanent property?


    These are just leisurely thoughts from the bottom of her heart. She knows that Shen Ze has always been interested in Chen Shan and other old subordinates. Therefore, he did not rush to express his opinions. Instead, he asked with a smile, "if you want to know each other, you have known each other for many years. I didn''t see anything to do with them before. Why do you suddenly start to discuss marriage now?"


    So Shen Ze talked about it. It turned out that when he was fighting against the enemy of Lancang, Chen Shan was cut in the thigh by a general of the other side. Under the pain, he fell off his horse and saw that the enemy general''s machete was about to cut his neck. Thanks to Shen Jiang''s arrow in the distance, he shot the enemy to the ground and saved Chen Shan''s life. Later, Shen Jiang took Chen Shan to his horse on horseback and protected him in the chaos.


    After the war, in order to thank Shen Jiang for saving his life, Chen Shan specially said that he would betroth his daughter to him. Shen Jiang has seen Yuzhen before, and he has a very delicate and gentle girl in his mind. Besides, he was quite old, so he agreed.


    Speaking of this, Shen Ze also said, "after coming back to the capital, brother Jiang originally wanted to ask the official media to come to propose marriage. But Chen Shan''s daughter-in-law says that we don''t have a wife who is in charge here. She thinks it''s not serious, so she''s waiting for you to come back to take care of it. "


    Hearing this, leisurely heart has concluded that Guo is not very keen on this marriage. It''s just that Shen Ze is excited to mention this. It''s estimated that Shen Jiang is more than him. If he doesn''t feel comfortable, he will pour cold water on him. He thinks that it''s not too late to go and find out Guo''s words in a few days. What if people really fall in love with Shen Jiang?


    The next day, it happened to be muxiu. Leisurely family took a car to the Lin family. My parents haven''t seen each other for many years, so it''s inevitable to cry bitterly when we meet.


    Leisurely a pull has been out of the quite girlish style of niece, "I left Qingfu was a little girl, now are grown into a big girl."


    With that, he took a colorful wreath inlaid with seven treasures from the maid''s hand and put it on her. As it happens, Qingfu wears a Hetian jade lock around his neck, and says with a smile, "this ring of Yingluo matches your jade lock."

 Chapter 512

    Seeing that the jewels on the wreaths were dazzling, Qingfu knew they were very valuable. She couldn''t help looking at her mother with her eyes. Zhuang Shu said with a smile, "since it''s from your aunt, take it. Your aunt is a big family. Remember that she will give you something later. Just keep it. Don''t feel embarrassed. "


    Smell speech, a room person all laughed. Leisurely angry way "two years no see, sister-in-law this mouth is actually more tricky."


    The family talked and laughed, and soon faded the estrangement they had not seen for several years. Only Lin Mu, excited to see her daughter, wiped her eyes from time to time. Leisurely know her mother''s heart, only whisper comfort, silently help her wipe tears.


    In the past, it was said that Fujian was poor. When Lin''s mother saw that her daughter had not lost weight or turned black in recent years, she was really comforted. In addition, there were children making fun of her. Lin''s mother soon began to smile.


    After returning to her mother''s home, she visited the government and the Han government in the next few days. After a lap, leisurely felt that he had lost another lap. Among them, the most abundant harvest of their family is sister an, in addition to a series of praise without heavy samples, there are many precious gifts.


    In particular, Princess Zhou gave the most, frankly speaking, sister an would be her family in the future, and no matter how much she gave, she would not lose. Leisurely, seeing that King Shizi of Zhou was young, pretty and sensible, he really had some thoughts in his heart. It''s just that the child is still young. She doesn''t want to bind her daughter''s future too early, so she only said that she would discuss it later when the children are older. Princess Zhou knew her scruples, so she only mentioned them in private, and didn''t make the whole city stormy.


    After all the families that should be visited were gone, Shen Jiang''s marriage was leisurely remembered, and he took a bus to Chenjiang early that morning. She thought that the two families had always been close, so she didn''t post. When she arrived at the Chen family, she found that the Chen family was more lively than she had imagined. Also, because Chen Shan also made great achievements in this war, he was promoted to general Mingwei and deputy commander of Sipin Jingji guard. No, it''s been more than a month since the edict was issued, and there''s still an endless stream of people coming to give gifts.


    Of course, Shen Ze was naturally promoted to a higher rank. He was the first-class Hussars general and the commander-in-chief of Jingwei, who was in charge of the defense of the capital. At first glance, this position is very high, commanding all the troops in the capital, including the forbidden army, the gate army, the patrol army and so on. It''s very powerful! But how can we say that the imperial guards and the imperial guards of Dakang were directly under the command of the emperor. Without the imperial edict and the tiger amulet, the governor of Jingwei could not directly mobilize these troops. Therefore, this position just sounds good. Generally, it is a position used by outstanding military generals to provide for the aged.


    However, leisurely heart has been very contented, at this stage, Shen Ze hands no real power is always more stable than gonggaozhen.


    Guo heard the news, quickly welcomed out from the inside, "I don''t know the lady''s presence, it''s really a loss to welcome far away."


    Leisurely said with a smile, "I''m here. I didn''t expect you to be so busy now."


    "Madam, I''m really joking. Our family can''t compare with madam''s family. Now your family is a real family." Guo said with a smile.


    In the meantime, he arrived at the flower hall. Guo asked him to take a seat in front of him. He was busy and told him to "hurry up and find Biluochun, who was sent by the official of Jingzhou."


    Then he said with a smile, "I should have visited my wife first. But for her help, we could not have come back so smoothly. I wanted to be busy for a few days, but I didn''t think my wife came first. It seemed that I was impolite. "


    Leisurely back to say "we are not outsiders, say these, on the outside.". Besides, I''m not in a hurry. Someone in my family is in a hurry. I don''t want to come and I can''t do it. " Then he looked around for a week with a smile. "By the way, where''s sister Jane? Why isn''t it here? "


    Guo''s face froze, and then he said with a smile, "in her room, this is not the intention of the palace. In a few days, our families will go to the palace to see the empress? Our small family had never been in the palace before, so we invited an old lady to teach us the rules of the palace, so that we could make a mess of the rules in the palace and annoy the lady. " Wen Yan nodded leisurely and said with a smile, "it''s like this. It''s the first time I entered the palace. I''m a little worried. In fact, there''s no need to be too nervous. I know the empress''s temperament. She''s the most tolerant, but she won''t get angry for no reason. Just tell Jane to let her relax. "


    At this time, the little servant girl brought the brewed tea. She picked up the teacup and lifted the lid of the bowl. She only felt the fragrance was strong, so she praised "it''s really good tea." Then he took a sip.


    Guo heard leisurely praise, heart proud, also took a cup to drink. But she didn''t find it. Leisurely, the cup of tea just touched her lips and put it down.


    See Guo put down the cup, leisurely just about to open mouth, see outside come in a servant girl ran to Guo side whispered a few words. Guo took a look at leisurely, light hiss way "don''t you see I''m here to treat guests?"? Let them wait in the side hall for a while. "


    Leisurely heart sigh, it seems that this matter today is said not! So he got up and said, "since you have something to do at home, you should be busy first. It''s the same for us to talk about it another day."


    Guo said with a quick smile, "I''m sorry, madam. It''s not that we don''t have a decent head, so we asked zhenbaofang to send us some. But we asked them to wait for a while. This makes us impatient. It''s really sad."


    Leisurely don''t care about smile "into the palace audience is a major event, should be more attentive.". Moreover, zhenbaofang is also a well-known dajinlou. Naturally, business is very busy. You can choose it quickly. I''ll come back another day. "


    Guo''s rather guilty will be her to the door.


    After two farewells, she got on the carriage leisurely. She lifted a corner of the curtain. Guo could not wait for her carriage to go far, so she went back to look at her head. With a smile of self mockery, she put down the curtain.


    Su He poured a cup of green tea and handed it over. The tea was put in a warm pottery pot. In this hot summer, it was still warm even if it was put for an hour. Leisurely even drink two cups, feel the body and mind are light a lot. So he praised, "we Suhe are the best. I know your master is thirsty."


    Su he said, "look, my lady didn''t use tea in the Chen family just now. Isn''t her tea good? I see that your lips are a little dry, and I won''t drink them. "


    Leisurely gently shook his head, "tea is good tea, but it was ruined by the people who made it." There''s a smell of powder in the tea. It''s estimated that the maid who made the tea must have gone to make the tea without washing her hands.


    The maid making tea is as perfunctory as her master!

 Chapter 513

    Shen Jiang knows that leisurely is going to Chen''s today, but he doesn''t have time to change his clothes when he comes back from Yamen in the afternoon, so he''s busy to come and say hello to leisurely.


    Leisurely didn''t expect that he was so interested, so he had to comfort him: "I went to Chen''s today. Unfortunately, Mrs. Chen was inviting a lady from the palace to teach etiquette, and was busy cutting clothes and jewelry, so she didn''t have time to talk to me about this. Let''s talk about it after we meet the queen some other day. "


    After hearing this, Shen Jiang shook his head with a bitter smile. "I know that Chen''s sister-in-law has always looked down on me. Now elder brother Chen has been promoted to the fourth grade capital official. I have no father or mother, and I have no support. How can I be worthy of other people''s beloved daughter? If not, forget it. " Previously, Guo repeatedly delayed Xiaoding, and he was indifferent to Shen Jiang. How could Shen Jiang, who was used to seeing his face when he was young, not feel it?


    At this time, Shen Ze just came from the outside. When he heard this, he said, "how can I do it at will? It''s not like we''re in a hurry to get married. Chen Shan himself wanted to betroth his daughter to you. Those who heard this that day did not know that our brothers and many soldiers in the army had heard and witnessed it. He could not help but deny it. It''s not thanks to you that he can be promoted to the fourth grade this time? Without you, he would have lost his life and wanted to be promoted to the fourth grade? "


    Leisurely frowned and said, "it''s just a forced marriage. It''s better to have two surnames. If the Chen family really doesn''t want to, we don''t have to force it."


    Shen Ze sighed, comforted Shen Jiang and said, "I don''t think Chen Shan has any intention of going back. This matter is also related to his future. You don''t have to worry about it first." Shen Jiang nodded, said a few words and went back to his yard.


    After Shen Jiang left, he talked with Shen Ze leisurely and said, "whether the Chen family''s marriage is successful or not, brother Jiang''s marriage will not be delayed. Today''s world chooses son-in-law for its daughter. In addition to her character and ability, it also depends on her family background. It''s OK that brother Jiang hasn''t married with us now, but in the eyes of outsiders, it''s because he doesn''t have a piece of tile to cover his body. It''s inevitable that people will look down on him. "


    Shen Jiang said with a smile, "what are you going to say directly, that is, how can you become such a wheezer?"


    Leisurely smile "you always take him as your brother. I''m not afraid that you think more, so I''ll talk to you slowly? Just in time, I heard from my sister-in-law that there was an old Hanlin on the back street of her home who wanted to go home and sell out the house. My sister-in-law had planned to buy it, but she went to see it once and said that it was a little small, with only a dozen rooms in front and back. I heard that there is such a yard, and the price is not expensive, so I asked someone to buy it. Such a small courtyard for the newly married couple to live is also said to be in the past. In addition, brother Jiang has been fighting with you for the past two years, but he has also saved ten thousand taels of silver, all of which are here for me. The one thousand mu Chuang Tzu that I bought in the western suburb a few days ago is divided into two parts. Half of it is left for sister Xi to make a dowry, and the other half is given to brother Jiang. With this house and land, brother Jiang also has his own property. No one can underestimate it in the future. "


    Shen Ze once held leisurely''s hand. "The world says that you are blessed, but I don''t know that it''s me who is really blessed. I''ve burned incense for eight generations to marry such a generous daughter-in-law as you."


    Leisurely was praised by him a little embarrassed "OK, it''s all old husband and wife''s, don''t talk about these nice things. When Jiang Ge''er came here, he was a half boy, and I grew up watching him. Besides, he has been with you all these years. No matter what we do, we can''t treat him badly. You will give him the house deed and the land deed tomorrow, and let his heart rest first. "


    Not only does Shen Jiang''s marriage come to mind leisurely, but the Chen family over there are also murmuring about it. Guo angrily said to her husband, "I don''t know which one of your tendons was wrong at the beginning, so I hastily promised our daughter to go out. Now it''s a good thing. I don''t know how to refuse when someone comes to talk about it with your words as an imperial edict


    Chen Shan said impatiently, "what is there to refuse? A man is a man with a spit and a nail. I''ve said everything, so it''s settled. Shen Jiang is also a sixth grade captain now. What''s wrong? It''s better than the guy you were looking forward to before. His father has five senses. He''s not a white man himself? "


    Guo retorted, "what happened to Bai Shen? His father is a doctor of the Imperial Academy, and all the students are the sons of the powerful. If Zhen can marry him, she will worry about the future of Yulin Smell speech Chen Shan not from sneer a "you calculate of pour is excellent, but the other people is not even don''t take words."


    Guo choked for a moment, and then said, "people don''t think you''re vulgar. You can wait until Yulin gets the examination. The future of our sister Zhen is behind us! I don''t agree with you to marry her to Shen Jiang. What''s up with that kid? He''s just a distant relative of the government. He''s very poor. Now he has this little official by relying on general Shen. If he doesn''t fight in the future and has no military achievements to make, where will he go? Isn''t it true that our sister Jen has never been able to make a breakthrough in her life? Even if he saved your life, let''s give him some silver as a gift. We can''t catch up with our baby daughter. Even if he has general Shen as his backer, he can''t take advantage of his kindness. "


    Chen Shan was more and more annoyed when his daughter-in-law said, "OK, let''s talk about it later." In the heart but also had some vacillation, that day oneself original intention just want to make a joke, didn''t think Shen Jiang that kid unexpectedly agreed! Didn''t he have such a plan to save himself?


    People are like this, and they are often greedy. At this time, Chen Jiang has obviously forgotten that it was he who repeated the matter repeatedly. Shen Jiang nodded when he saw that he was sincere. Now it''s Shen Jiang''s intention. He didn''t think about it. The situation on the battlefield is always changing. How can Shen Jiang have so much time to think about too many different things? His daughter is not a fairy!


    Early the next morning, Shen Jiang was very excited when he saw the house deed and land deed handed over by Shen Ze. First, he politely declined and said, "these are too expensive. I can''t take them."


    Shen Zejiang put the deed paper into his arms and said, "take it for you. What are you talking about! It''s not for nothing, but for the money your sister-in-law saved for you. " Then he joked, "your sister-in-law said that with these, no matter who you marry, you have confidence in your heart. You don''t have to think that there is anything that is not worthy of others."

 Chapter 514

    Shen Jiang was even more moved when he heard that the land price in central Beijing was increasing year by year. A piece of Chuang Tzu like this costs more than twenty-one mu, and the 600 mu land lease alone costs more than ten thousand taels of silver. Plus that house, at least two thousand Liang.


    Seeing that he suddenly turned red, Shen Ze patted him on the shoulder. "OK, if a man has tears, don''t flick them lightly. Hold back your tears. Don''t look like a woman here. After married a daughter-in-law to live a good life, your sister-in-law and I will be satisfied. All right, go to the Yamen quickly. "


    In the end, Shen Jiang is younger. Suddenly, he has such industries. After being excited, he is naturally overjoyed. After arriving at the yamen, someone who knew him well thought that his marriage had been decided. He could not help joking. Shen Jiang quickly stopped and said, "OK, I haven''t written these eight characters yet. I can''t say it nonsense. It doesn''t damage the reputation of others."


    That person disapproves of way "Chen general says in front of us so some people''s face, can you still repent?" Seeing Shen Jiang''s dignified face, he couldn''t help saying, "OK, I know you have many rules. Let''s not talk about it. Oh, no, since it''s not a marriage, why are you so happy? Did you pick up silver on the way? "


    Shen Jiang felt that there was nothing that could not be said about it, so he said with a smile, "I''m more happy than collecting silver!" Then he said something about the house and Chuang Tzu. The one who spoke to him was not a person who could hide things. Everyone knew that he turned around and yelled.


    Beijing officials, even if they are able to achieve four grades, are not particularly scarce. They earn two or three thousand taels a year. Apart from household expenses and human relations, there is often not much left. Therefore, such as those Beijing officials of four or five grades, a family of three generations crowded into a three-way house can be found everywhere. It''s really amazing that Shen Jiang has his own house and Chuang Tzu at such a young age. In the past, although people knew that Shen Ze always valued his younger brother, they didn''t expect that he would be so generous. His actions were house and Chuang Tzu, which was more transparent than giving money directly.


    Many generals with daughters in the Yamen regret that they didn''t notice such a potential stock. They were cut off by Chen Shan for nothing. What a pity!


    Soon the news reached Chen Jiang''s ears. He turned around and told his mother-in-law about it. At first, Guo didn''t believe "is this true? Can''t that kid cheat? Our family has only bought 500 mu of land this time. "


    Chen Jiang shook his head and said, "how can it be deceiving? I went all the way to ask my former subordinates. It''s true. Several of them of the same age went to Shen Jiang''s Chuang Tzu on horseback, and then went to his new house to drink! But I didn''t expect that the general would treat this younger brother so well. One shot would be ten or twenty thousand silver. "


    Thinking of the sea trade business that his family had just finished, Guo thought that his family had only made 20000 yuan after two times. The general''s office didn''t know how much he had earned! "The general''s house is rich and powerful. Naturally, it''s not bad for this star and a half. However, with these fields, we have no worries about food and clothing at all, and we can make a living when we get married. "


    Chen Shan can''t help but say, "what does it mean to be able to live! This is very good. How can Chuang Tzu, a 600 mu village, have a harvest of 6700 Liang a year? The general five grade officials in Beijing don''t have such a salary! What about? I have a good eye! You don''t know the expression of jealousy when those old people talked about it with me today. If I hadn''t started it early, such a good son-in-law would have been robbed! Next time, Mrs. Shen will talk about it again. You can''t take Joe any more. You should come down quickly. "


    Guo said vaguely, "if you know, the day after tomorrow is the day to enter the palace. How can you talk about it after the audience?" But my heart has already acquiesced in this matter.


    Today, the wind and the sun, leisurely up in the morning bath make-up, a product of Gaoming dress wearing on the body heavy. Leisurely has been a long time without such a big make-up according to the product, and at first it''s not suitable to wear. She took Shen Xi to the gate of the palace by car. After meeting with the families of other meritorious officials, Fang entered the palace under the guidance of the palace people.


    It''s not the first time that Aunt leisurely came to the palace. When Wei was a child, she came to the palace twice with the light of her aunt. Only the mother and daughter of the Chen family came in for the first time. While nervous, they were shocked by the majestic palace buildings. In Fengning palace, Shen Tian had been waiting for a long time. Leisurely in the first row, under the guidance of the palace people, he saluted Shen Tian three times and nine times. After the ceremony, Shen Tian busily said, "hurry up, help Mrs. Shen up."


    Qinghe went down the steps in person. He used to help leisurely, and leisurely got up. He said to Shen Tian, "I''ve been away for a long time. Now I see that my lady is still beautiful, and my wife is at ease."


    They haven''t seen each other for a long time, so they can''t help saying more. In addition, Shen Xi and Shen Tian had a relationship of master and apprentice when they were young, so their relationship was even better than others.


    Wei didn''t feel anything. She had known for a long time that she was not the protagonist today, so she stood there quietly, looking at her eyes, nose and heart. Guo''s heart is suddenly some injustice, feel that he is also a meritorious minister''s family, how the queen just talk with Mrs. Shen?


    On the other side, Chen Yuzhen saw such a splendid palace for the first time in her life. She used to be at ease, and suddenly came up with the idea that if she could live in such a palace, even if only for one day, she would have no regrets in this life!


    Chen Yuzhen is shaking God, suddenly heard a familiar name. It turned out that the queen asked about Shen Jiang''s marriage. She suddenly got a little flustered. When I heard leisurely, I just said, "I''ve got a suitable family, and I''m talking about it." Without mentioning her name, Yuzhen was relieved. She slightly raised her head, quietly looked to the throne, but did not see the Queen''s face, only to see the pearl inlaid treasure of the unusual Phoenix hairpin. When I think of the little Pearl hairpin on my head, I suddenly feel envious. How can I be a woman and look down on myself in front of my eyes?


    Yuzhen was startled by her own idea, so she quickly took back her mind. Then she heard the empress say, "if our family''s children and grandchildren are like this, our palace will have no worries. This child is also willing to make progress. When he gets married, he will send a message to the palace, and the Palace should also send a congratulatory message. "


    Leisurely smile way "Niang Niang this words, Chen Fu can write down for river elder brother son, wait until the day must come to Niang Niang to seek reward."


    After a while, someone in the Palace said it was time. Shen Tian sighed, "I don''t think it''s time to say a few words. It''s all right. When you go back to the capital, you''ll see a lot of days in the future. Go back first today. " With that, he rewarded the people with what he had prepared in the morning.


    Leisurely is used to Shen Tian''s big pen, so she sees that things are extremely precious and looks as usual. Although others were excited, they also finished the ceremony as usual under her leadership.


    After the ceremony, they went out under the guidance of the palace people.


    I saw that this visit was coming to a perfect end, but just after walking out of the gate of Fengning palace, there came a picture of luanjia!

 Chapter 515

    The only one who can set up this battle in the harem is the long live master!


    Leisurely and others quickly kneel down to meet. No matter how the emperor responded to Shen Ze, he met his wife and stopped to say "Madam Shen has been working hard with general Shen these years. The queen has always been very concerned about her. Mrs. Guogong has been in poor health for several years. It''s inconvenient for her to enter the palace. The queen often misses her family, but no one can see her. Now that you are back, come and see the queen more. "


    After listening to the emperor''s words, leisurely while taking words to support, he sighed in his heart that life is really like a play, all depends on acting skills, and this master''s acting skills can be said to be the best in some aspects. Look, what the emperor said is sincere. After listening to it, outsiders thought how much the Emperor cared for the queen! If you don''t know his true features, you may be confused, but now it only makes her feel frightened.


    Leisurely here, she was shocked. A girl kneeling in the crowd was shocked by the emperor''s words. She did not expect that the emperor was such a gentle person. In her memory, her father and mother always spoke in a rude voice. I only hate that my family is too shallow to be inquired by the Emperor himself. When she was annoyed in her heart, she heard the voice suddenly ring in her ear, "this lady looks at me, I don''t know whose family is it?"


    At this critical time, Guo was so excited that he felt his tongue was not easy to use and could not say a word. Yuzhen, who has always been a little shy, somehow gave birth to a lot of courage and said, "if you are my Lord, my daughter''s father is Chen Shan, and this is my daughter''s mother, Chen Guo. My mother suddenly saw Tian Yan. She was so excited that she lost her grace. I hope your majesty will forgive me! "


    Guo''s meeting also slowed down. When he heard that the rules in the palace were very strict, he quickly bowed his head and asked for "I''ve lost my honor. Please forgive me."


    The emperor laughed and said, "it''s just a little thing. Chen Gongren doesn''t have to be so scared." With that, he took a meaningful look at Chen Yuzhen. "General Chen is brave and good at fighting. Only this time can he make great contributions. I didn''t expect that his daughter was quite brave! Looking at Miss Chen, it''s time for Jasper. I wonder if she can be married? "


    Guo''s heart a excited, quickly back to the way "report the emperor''s words, the little girl has no family." Shen Jiang was left behind by her at the moment. Joking, how can the wealth of hundreds of Mu compare with the master in front of him? After listening to her mother''s reply, Yuzhen knew there was something wrong here, but she didn''t correct it. She thought, this public, mother''s words have been said out, and then change it will not become the crime of bullying the king?


    The emperor said with a smile, "I look at Miss Chen. She is gentle and beautiful. Her future is hard to limit, and she is not in a hurry to get married."


    After hearing this, mother and daughter immediately salute and thank you. After the ceremony, Yuzhen forgot all the rules of Mammy''s teaching. She secretly raised her head and had a look at the emperor''s smiling eyes. Yuzhen was surprised, and quickly lowered her head. Her heart was as if she had knocked over a bucket.


    This time, the emperor did not stay any longer and went straight to Fengning palace. Looking at the back of the emperor, Yuzhen was immediately covered by his followers and dependents, and she felt lost.


    She is still at ease here, feel lost, one side of leisurely witnessed the whole process, but only feel angry! This mother and daughter''s style is really disgusting! The marriage of the two families was originally proposed by Chen Shan in front of the whole army. Now I''m doing this in the palace. It''s a slap in the face!


    Otherwise, because I am in the palace now, I really want to throw my mouth to her!


    When they got out of the Dakang gate, all the servants who came to see them off went back to recover their lives. Leisurely, they sneered and said to their mother and daughter, "Miss Chen, what a chance! I used to look at you gently and shyly, but I didn''t expect to be brave in front of the emperor. What a surprise


    Naturally, Wei also knew that the two families were discussing marriage. He also looked down upon the manner of the mother and daughter. He agreed, "no, I really underestimated Miss Yuzhen in the past." Yuzhen was younger in the end. When they said that, her eyes became red in an instant. As soon as Guo saw it, he came out to defend it and said, "what are you talking about? Since we didn''t let go of Xiaoding, it means that we didn''t make a decision about the marriage, and we didn''t make a mistake. Both of you are elders. Why bother my little girl? "


    The Wei family wanted to say more. Leisurely but lazily, he paid attention to their rogue face. He looked up around and said in a loud voice, "we can''t afford what Chen Gongren said! Long live your family''s fortune. I''ve praised my future. Maybe it will be... We don''t dare to be embarrassed. Well, we still have things to deal with at home, so we won''t stop here. Goodbye


    Then he took Wei''s hand and got into his carriage.


    After getting on the bus, Wei is still fighting for Shen Jiang. He quietly lifts a corner of the car curtain. He sees the guards on duty outside Dakang and some servants waiting for their master are whispering, and there is a sneer in the corner of his mouth. Since you want to go straight up, I''ll give you a ride!


    Shen Tian knows that she will not be affected by such things. But it''s hard to tell the other masters and their families, and the noble women who have long made up their mind to enter the palace. If they know that someone will go ahead of them, what will they do?


    Since you are unkind, don''t blame me!


    Only in this way, Shen Jiang''s situation is too embarrassing.


    Thinking of this, leisurely immediately sent the boy to tell Shen Ze about it.


    Here, Chen Shan is discussing with several colleagues to have a drink in the restaurant after the shift. Suddenly saw Shen Jiangfeng burst in, Chen Shan was stunned at first, and then said with a smile, "you boy, if you don''t work well, how can you come here?"


    The next few people naturally know the origin of the two. They can''t help joking that "it''s more important to be on duty than to please your future father-in-law! Look, the boy is still carrying a burden. Did he come to give you a gift? "


    But Shen Jiang said with a straight face, "just a few adults are here, just to be a witness to the boy." Then he took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and offered it to him. "This is the jade pendant that General Chen gave me when he betrothed his daughter to me. Now he returns it to the general. Since then, it has nothing to do with marriage."


    After hearing this, Chen Jiang''s face was shocked, "Teng" stood up, "what do you mean?" The rest of the people followed suit and said, "what are you doing? How can you easily go back on your marriage


    Shen Jiang sneered, "it''s not the boy''s repentance, it''s Miss Chen''s noble status. Even the emperor said that Miss Chen''s future is limitless, and I''m not worthy of Miss Chen as a big soldier with shallow foundation! General Chen should go back to ask Mrs. Ling and her daughter about specific things! I''m still on business. I''ll stay soon. " Finish saying, ignore the public''s question, big step meteor''s U-turn left.

 Chapter 516

    Chen Shan was there. He was puzzled. He saw a servant coming in from outside. "Is general Chen there? The emperor orders you to enter the palace immediately. "


    Hearing the speech, Chen Shan and others looked at each other. One of them, who was in a good mood, quickly handed a purse to the waiter and said, "I dare to ask my father-in-law, what''s the matter with the emperor summoning General Chen?"


    The waiter was satisfied with the weight of the purse, and felt that the Chen family was on the verge of development. He said with a smile, "long live, how do we know what you think? Regardless of our estimation, it will be a good thing. "


    Chen Shan''s heart relaxed, but he was still at a loss. The emperor did not dare to neglect him. He quickly straightened his clothes and followed the servant.


    Leisurely when she got home, she still felt very angry. She thought Guo was just a little cautious, but she didn''t expect that she would make such a thing as concealing the engagement.


    At night, leisurely see Shen Ze himself back, thought Shen Jiang back to his yard, and said, "brother Jiang back to his yard? It''s really irritating to have such a thing happen. You should try to persuade him. "


    Shen Ze replied in a deep voice, "he''s gone."


    Leisurely surprised "gone? Where have you been? "


    Shen Ze replied, "if something like this happened, he would only make a joke when he stayed in Beijing. If we can help other people, we can''t help him either because he is the son of heaven. I asked him to go to Yumen pass, where the war was chaotic, and no one else had leisure to investigate his past. If you get away with it, you can still earn a military contribution. "


    Leisurely sighed, "look at your injuries. How can you earn military merit so easily? If he has a problem, how can we treat his parents. Alas, the child''s life is really miserable! His parents left early, but his brother and sister-in-law refused to pity him. Now he is very young, and he has worked hard to earn an idea. That''s it... So is general Chen. If he could not bear his daughter, he would not have mentioned this marriage at the beginning. Now it''s done like this, wouldn''t it ruin brother Jiang''s life? "


    Shen Jiang has come to their home since she was a teenager. They all say that his elder sister-in-law is like a mother. After all these years, she has treated him as a relative for a long time. Now, her heart is also very hard. Just like Shen Ze said, if the Chen family is married to other people, they still have the strength of door-to-door theory. Now they really can''t afford to be provoked.


    However, even if it is not provoking, it is not a problem to make a little stumbling for Chen''s daughter. She ponders in her heart.


    Later, Fang Xinsu came to comfort her when she knew about it. "The Empress Dowager also knew about it. It was said that Chen Yuzhen''s words were very inappropriate when she saw Shengjia that day. The Empress Dowager was very unhappy and said frankly that such a frivolous woman would not be in a high position even if she entered the palace in the future. What''s more, there are quite a few people of noble origin who have entered the Palace this time. She can''t get it well. Just rest assured. "


    "I don''t care if she can get better now. I just don''t care for my brother Jiang. By the way, when was the draft decided? I didn''t hear anything. "


    Fang Xinsu said, "the road is clear, but in private we have a tacit understanding. It''s said that there have been ministers in the court who have played on this matter, but they have been refuted by our Lord. " He said, "you don''t know that person''s temperament. You have to pretend to shirk it for several times. I guess you can set a specific date nearly a year ago. Oh, by the way, brother Jiang is a man, but he can still wait. It''s sister Xi, but I can''t wait. When the time comes, the imperial edict of the draft will definitely be in the draft as Xi Jieer. Although you can apply for free election, but if that person deliberately obstructs, will sister Xi enter the palace or not


    After hearing Fang Xinsu''s words, leisurely and abruptly, he was scared out of a cold sweat. Their family and the government have always been in the same boat, but as Xin Su said, if there is something wrong with that person, won''t their Shen family be in chaos from the inside? Why should anyone else do it then? Think of here, leisurely not from anxious up, "you said I do not know, but this time and a half will, where to find the right person to go?"


    Fang Xinsu patted her hand and said, "don''t worry. Xi''s wife and her family are all taking care of her marriage. There seems to be something on her aunt''s side. When you have time, go and ask."


    Leisurely, he said, "well, I''ve only been to the government once since I came back. I''m still in a hurry, and I haven''t talked to my aunt Haosheng. I''ll be there some other day."


    At this time, sister an woke up in the afternoon, shouting for her mother, and the nursing mother took her over. As soon as she arrived in her mother''s arms, she calmed down, took her in her arms, wiped her face and braided her hair. Sister an''s spirit gradually rose. She pointed to Fang Xin and asked, "mother, who is this handsome aunt?"


    One sentence made Fang Xinsu''s heart blossom. "Ouch, I heard countless compliments when I was a child. Only sister an''s words made me feel the most sincere and beautiful. Good boy, come on, let your aunt hold you


    With that, he opened his hands to an''s sister. An''s sister didn''t want her mother any more. She jumped down from leisurely and ran to Fang Xinsu. Fang Xinsu took her to her lap with a little difficulty and said, "ouch, I haven''t held a child for a long time since the boy of our family grew up. This little girl is really weighty. I almost can''t hold her."


    Leisurely some hesitated to say "you and Rong Wang''s heart knot has not been opened?"


    Fang Xinsu shook his head and said with a smile, "that''s not true! We can''t be separated easily. Since we want to live together, we can''t always be on the tip of the needle. Now think back, at that time in the end is still young, but it is a small idea, feel like the sky fell down. Now it''s nothing else. Maybe it''s because our children''s fate is shallow. In the past two years, I''ve seen countless famous doctors, and they all say that we''re both healthy, but we haven''t heard from each other. Now I''m dying. "


    Leisurely smile comfort her, "if you are not old this year, good health maintenance, maybe one day you will get it."


    Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "if it really can be as good as you say, it''s a thousand good, or my brother Chen will be one of his own. It''s too thin."


    At this time, sister an suddenly pointed to Fang Xinsu''s stomach and said, "there is a younger brother here."

 Chapter 517

    Listen to sister an''s words, leisurely and Fang Xinsu look at each other, and they are surprised in each other''s eyes. Before they had time to speak, the servant girl who served Fang Xinsu exclaimed: "I just remember that my mother hasn''t changed this month?"


    Smell speech, leisurely also no longer hesitate, busy life servant girl to please jade lotus. Although Fang Xinsu is also looking forward to getting pregnant again, she has not been able to achieve her wish for so many years, but she is indifferent: "sometimes there are delays in her childhood, so don''t make a big fuss, just in case it''s not a joke."


    Leisurely pacified patted her hand: "there is no outsider here, who will laugh at you. It''s not. It''s also good for your cousin to invite you a safe pulse. "


    After a while, Yulian came over and diagnosed the pulse for fangxinsu. It was confirmed that it was Ximai. Even if Fang Xinsu was not happy, she picked up sister an and kept kissing her: "we sister an are really my lucky stars."


    She didn''t feel anything. Instead, she hurriedly took sister an back and said angrily, "look at you, you will be the mother of two children soon, and you will jump off like this. Although your pulse is stable, you must be more careful in the first three months. You can''t do such actions as holding a child like this in the future. "


    Fang Xinsu couldn''t help laughing: "you, you always have an endless heart. Isn''t it just having a baby? It''s not like I''ve never had a baby. How can I be like that? "


    Leisurely smile at her: "it is always careful, right, your belly of the child can be expensive."


    With such good news, Fang Xinsu went back after a while. It is Rongjun Wang know this matter is also very excited, happy, but also let people send a lot of gifts to leisurely. Because leisurely specially asked, heart element back did not mention sister an, only privately sent a lot of precious things to sister an.


    When Shen Ze came back to know about it in the evening, he also thought Cola: "I didn''t expect our daughter to have such ability."


    Leisurely light beat him: "you Hu Qin what? Children''s words are not taboo, children say a word casually, just to catch up with them. It''s just that when it''s spread, it''s inevitable to spread the wrong information. The more it is spread, the more mysterious it is. What''s the good for sister an? Don''t show off. "


    Shen Ze nodded and said with a smile, "I don''t even have this sense of propriety. It''s just a joke."


    Because of Shen Xi''s marriage, leisurely went to the government the next day. After discussing with Han, he decided on three candidates to go home and give them to Shen Ze for selection.


    Shen Ze frowned as he looked at the profiles of the three men: "this boy of Weiyuan''s family is not good. He is not literate. He is not a dandy, but he is not a promising person. I''m not blind to follow him. Sister Xi is such a good person. Zhou Hanlin''s son is even worse. He and his master are scholars of the same discipline. I''ve seen him twice before, and some of them are pedantic. Moreover, it is quite different from the inside. It looks like a man of integrity. Behind his back, he likes to drink flower wine most, and his salary is all thrown into the flower house. Although it''s all about ten years ago, it''s hard to guarantee that my son won''t learn from Lao Tzu. Who knows if Mr. Zhou and his Lao Tzu are the same? Even if he is a good one, this week''s family style is not what sister Xi''s temperament can adapt to. "


    Leisurely was puzzled: "I''ve been asked about it specially. They all say that Mrs. Zhou is kind and kind, and that Mr. Zhou is very polite and progressive. He''s a young man and has already gained a reputation. Even if some Meng Lang in Zhou Hanlin''s youth must have changed now, what''s wrong with the style of the Zhou family? "


    Shen Ze replied, "don''t you think there is such a young man of the right age in his family. His neighbors will not speak ill of his family as long as they don''t have a big holiday with them. But I remember that Zhou Hanlin was born in a poor family, his salary was not high, and his family''s expenses were supported by Mrs. Zhou''s dowry. "


    Smell speech, leisurely quickly followed to deny this person: "this is determined not to succeed, our Xi elder sister can''t have Mrs. Zhou''s kindness, that week''s family still calculate.". In this way, there is only one Feng Song left. " This Feng song is the successor song Ge''er who Zhuang Shu''s grandmother adopted for her son. Leisurely light frown way: "to say Song elder brother son, is younger sister''s cousin, also can be regarded as I look to grow up.". The child''s temperament is fair, he can ride a horse and pull a bow, he can read and read, and he is a rare scholar among xungui''s children. Just looking at myself, my aunt and I are both satisfied. But his mother is not a worry, the old lady in there are still people can suppress her, once there is no suppression, this is not vegetarian. In addition, the Marquis''s residence in Jinxiang is quite complicated. Up to now, Feng Song''s title has not been inherited, and I feel a bit drummed. "


    Speaking of the end, leisurely suddenly felt that he and Han had chosen carefully for most of the day, and the selected ones were all quite inadequate. He could not help sighing: "now, I don''t know what''s wrong with this batch of children in Beijing, but there are few successful ones!" Then she looked anxiously at Shen Ze: "it''s just that the draft rules are going to be decided. We still have to make a decision for her this morning. I can feel at ease. Is there no suitable person in your army? "


    Shen Ze said with a bitter smile: "if I had the right one, I would have made it. How can I use it until today? No, just Feng Song. At least the child knows the root of the problem. Now that he has been adopted, he is the son of the Marquis of Jinxiang. He has nothing to do with his mother-in-law. As long as Xi''s sister takes care of him, he will not suffer. As for the title of nobility, as long as a man has the ability, why can''t he make achievements? Can you come second


    Although they made up their mind, leisurely felt that it was about Shen Xi''s life, so they called her over to talk about Feng Song. Seeing that she kept bowing her head, leisurely thought Shen Xi was shy and didn''t think much about it. He only said with a smile: "no matter what else, you and song Ge''er met when you were a child, and his temperament is rare, gentle and polite. Although the Marquis''s residence in Jinxiang is a bit of a mess, on the one hand, there is still an old lady. On the other hand, your brother and I will make decisions for you. You will not be wronged at that time. How do you like it? "


    Listen to sister-in-law said gentle polite four words, Shen Xi mind can not help but flash a gentle face. Although it''s just a glimpse, she still has some memories. Originally thought that person would be his own lover, but unfortunately, the day does not fulfill people''s wishes! It''s said that the man''s fiancee has already been decided. She is the daughter of the master of shuning county. She is of noble birth, beautiful and dignified.


    It''s just that, after all, it''s predestined! Shen Xi closed his eyes, then nodded slightly invisible: "everything depends on my sister-in-law."

 Chapter 518

    If not close, leisurely can not hear what she said. This meeting she nodded, leisurely only happy, did not notice Shen Xi''s abnormal, also smile patted her hand, said: "I''ll go back to my mother''s home, this thing ah, still have to entrust to sister-in-law to do."


    Leisurely back to the Lin family to talk to Zhuang Shu about this, Zhuang Shu naturally did not be unwilling. Her parents died early. Thanks to the love and protection of her grandparents, she was able to find a good man. Jinxiang Houfu is her mother''s family. If the future hostess of Houfu is her acquaintance, Zhuang Shu would be happy to see it.


    Mrs. Feng is now over 70 years old, but she is still strong and energetic. She has been worried about Feng Song''s marriage all these years, and the child''s marriage is really high or low. Now hear Zhuang Shu talking about Shen Xi, also feel very surprised: "said Xi sister I have seen several times, character appearance that is not picky.". She is the same age as song Ge''er, and I don''t think about her. But with the increasing success of governor Shen Du, her identity has also risen, but our family is declining. If it''s OK for people with ordinary friendship, it''s your sister-in-law''s girl. At that time, I was afraid that your sister-in-law would not be offended again, which would destroy the friendship between the two families in vain, so I had no words. This meeting, Shen family can think of song Ge''er, so it''s their fate. "


    The Marquis''s residence in Jinxiang is now dominated by old lady Feng. She also specially called Feng Song and asked him once. Both families are relatives and have met several times in the past. Feng Song''s impression of Xi jie''er was also very good. Naturally, he nodded and agreed. So the two families have a little tacit understanding, just waiting for the Feng family to choose an auspicious day.


    Soon, the Marquis''s office of Jinxiang sent the official media to propose marriage. After the two families decided to get married, they quickly released Xiaoding and exchanged the Geng tie. As for the date of marriage, Shen''s family is not willing to let Xi''s sister marry too hastily. And Feng song also wants to take part in the Spring Festival of the next year. Now is the time to work hard. It''s not good to be distracted by chores. So the two businessmen made an appointment and decided to marry them on an auspicious day after next year''s Spring Festival.


    According to the custom here, the marriage of the two families is a certainty. At this point, even if Shen Xi was reluctant, he had to face the reality. What''s more, she has always been a sensible girl. Seeing that her brother and sister-in-law are struggling for their marriage, she naturally doesn''t want to make the family unhappy because of her own privacy. She can only bury that person in the bottom of her heart, and then goodbye is just a passer-by!


    Shen Xi''s marriage is certain. Leisurely, he only feels that a stone has fallen to the ground in his heart. He even feels much more stable when he sleeps. Shen Xi is always shy and speechless in the face of marriage. Even if something is not right, she only thinks that Shen Xi''s condition is similar to that of premarital phobia, and she doesn''t realize that her sister-in-law still has a deeply buried sweetheart. She also excitedly calculated all kinds of dowries for her sister-in-law.


    That night, she discussed with Shen Ze and said, "our family has prospered over the years. You have only one sister. Can we treat her badly this time. In addition to what she had in her own hands, I thought that Gongzhong would give her another 10000 taels of silver to buy dowry for her. In addition to the small Chuang Tzu in the western suburbs, I also asked someone to buy land in Zhili, and then I will buy her a large Chuang Tzu of about 1000 mu. It''s a pity that there are only two shops in Tongde, and we haven''t found any suitable ones. "


    Shen Ze said with a smile: "the two shops in Tongde Street are not the same as ten in other places? What''s more, there are fifteen hectares of land left, which, together with what she had, is quite a lot. It''s only ten or twenty thousand silver for the daughter of Duke''s mansion to get married. Our family has a shallow foundation. I know you love sister Xi, but don''t go too far. "


    Leisurely angry at him: "if you say this, people think sister Xi is my mother''s sister! I know what you''re worried about. It''s just that a girl is hard in this world, and she has no parents since she was a child. We brother and sister-in-law don''t give more dowry, which makes people think that she is not to be spoiled in her mother''s family. Secondly, the dowry we give is so thin that the one above can see us well? To put it bluntly, no matter how careful our family is, sooner or later we will have to fight him. It''s better to be happy than to be tied up. If you lose at that time, it''s not in vain. "


    Wen Yan, Shen Ze can''t help but help: "things haven''t come to that step, you think too long!" He sighed, holding leisurely hand: "you can rest assured, I have arranged the way back, even if things are not good, there will be your mother''s shelter." Leisurely smile and shake his head: "there is no way out! Remember, if you die, I''ll never live alone. And the children, rather than let them cower in the dark for the rest of their lives, it''s better to join us. At least, there is a companion on the way to huangquan! "


    Shen Ze''s eyes were moist, but he replied with a smile: "well, you has the final say." It was a matter of life and death, but it was said as a joke. Both of them are smiling, but their hearts are heavy. Shen Ze knows that leisurely looking at the surface is soft, but she is stubborn in her heart. She also knows that her words are not meant to be playful, and she has a worry in her heart.


    The next day, leisurely found out a few big red feet and came to Shen Xi''s house: "although the wedding dress will be made after my brother-in-law''s imperial examination next year, the wedding dress should be made now. Although these pieces of materials are old, they are all made in the time of emperor Gaozu. Today''s masters may not be able to weave them. You should use them first. " The so-called family background is reflected in this way, not blindly pursuing new patterns, but rather some things pressing the bottom of the box. The really good objects are always lasting, and the longer they are, the longer their charm will be.


    Shen Xi knew that she would take things leisurely and would not let her refuse, so she accepted it happily. Then leisurely he showed her the preliminary dowry list. Shen Xi took a cursory look and shook his head: "it''s too much. I know my elder brother and sister-in-law love me very much, but given so many things to me, what can Kang Ge''er do in the future? I still have a lot of private houses. I don''t have to pay so much money at home. "


    Leisurely clapped her hand: "what is that? Your private house is private. Can our family send you that dowry? " Anyway, no matter how Shen Xi shirks, leisurely just take the money and let the servant buy according to his plan.


    Just as the Shen family was busy buying a dowry for Shen Xi, the imperial court''s imperial edict on the draft was officially issued: all the daughters of officials and famous families can be named in person for selection.


    The first general election of the new emperor officially began.

 Chapter 519

    As the first general election after Guoxiao, this draft has long been expected by many people. The imperial edict is that those who are interested in it are busy signing up for their daughters, and on the other hand, they are busy buying clothes for them. The gold and silver shops and silk shops in the capital made a lot of money.


    On this day, Yang Lu came over with a smile. Leisurely saw him and joked: "look at my cousin, I think I earned a lot of money this time."


    Yang Lu replied: "thanks to my cousin''s words at that time, I didn''t rush to sell the cloth and gems I brought back from the south. This time, I caught up with the excitement of the draft, and the price was twice as high as usual. I''m here to give my cousin money today. We''re not outsiders either. I''ll just let you know. I don''t want to open a shop. I don''t know if my cousin will take all the money back or leave some of it in the shop? "


    Leisurely smile and shake his head: "with my cousin''s wealth now, what shop can''t open? I don''t want to get involved. I just let people know that there''s a big Chuang Tzu to sell in Zhili. I''m going to save some money to buy land. "


    Yang Lu nodded: "well, then we''ll clear the account this time. If we save time, we''ll make some mistakes."


    Two people a set of accounts, because this last time of jewelry cloth profit is quite rich, leisurely and entered a hundred thousand taels of silver.


    At the beginning of October, Chen Yuzhen was taken to the palace by a small sedan. She was joined by the wives of two other meritorious officials. This made the Chen family, who had been full of expectations, a little disappointed. However, when they thought that their daughter was more advanced than the girls, they suddenly felt that the Royal grace was great. But they didn''t know how many people hated them.


    Needless to say, this idea is Shen Tian''s. In the words of our empress, since you are a meritorious official, you should be given some preferential treatment. You don''t have to be crowded with many beautiful girls in the draft. It''s better to enter the palace ahead of time in autumn, or to add some good news to the palace before the new year.


    After learning the news, leisurely a little thought will know Shen Tian''s intention. These generals are the families that the emperor wants to win over, but after they are all meritorious officials, it''s hard to ensure that the emperor can get rain and dew when they enter the palace together. At that time, whether they are favored or not, it will be difficult for their families to twist into a rope. The emperor''s plan was half dissolved. Leisurely has to admire Shen Tian''s clever moves in her heart. She just thinks that she will live in all kinds of calculations every day when she opens her eyes, and deeply feels that she is not worth it. Such a bright and intelligent woman should have been treated better.


    Things really and leisurely expected the same, Chen Yuzhen and other three people together into the palace, at the beginning of the seal is five talent. As a result, within a month, Yuzhen became a beauty from the fourth grade because she was the most favored. It is said that the emperor praised her for her meekness and peace, so he gave her the title of "Rou".


    Originally, these things had little to do with leisurely. On this day, she wanted to go to the silver house to see the jewelry, so as to make a dowry for Shen Xi. I happened to meet Chen Guoshi in the silver chamber.


    Today''s Chen Guo family is really different from the past. She is full of jewels and smiles when she sees leisurely: "I didn''t expect to meet Mrs. Shen here. Is she here to make jewelry?"


    Leisurely replied with a smile: "come and have a look at the head. I haven''t seen Chen Gongren for a long time. I haven''t congratulated you on Chen''s promotion to the fourth grade of beauty. It''s really as promising as the emperor said."


    Chen Guoshi didn''t know if he really didn''t recognize the irony in leisurely words. He narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Oh, I''m flattered. The Emperor just likes my mother''s meekness. I''m flattered, isn''t it? My mother is the purest and most filial. She has not forgotten her parents in the nest of wealth. This is not a box of pearls for me to wear. Although there are pearls at home, they are something given by the palace. How respectable, aren''t they? "


    Then she said to the man in the silver house, "this is something that is rewarded in the palace. I tell you that you should be careful. If you bump it, you can''t afford it!" The man was submissive. Chen Guo turned to leisurely again and said, "I heard that the eldest girl in your mansion has decided to marry? Although the marquis in Jinxiang still has the name of marquis, it''s a pity that the eldest girl''s betrothed son is only the heir. In the future, the title of marquis... Look at my mouth, I''m really careless and say something wrong. Madam, you''d better not take it seriously. It''s true. At the beginning, our lady was different from Miss Shen, but now it''s the other way around. Do you want me to ask our mother to say a good word to Miss Shen''s fiance when I enter the palace next time, so that he can inherit the title earlier? "


    The several servant girls nearby were all angry at this, but they had to suppress their anger because the master didn''t give orders. Leisurely and placidly, he said, "I''m sorry, but according to the ancestral rules, the concubines in the back Palace are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty. Whether Feng song can succeed to the title is governed by the law of the imperial court, so our family won''t give Roumei any trouble. Moreover, in terms of the friendship between our two families in the past, I would advise you to be more careful in your speech. According to the rules, the empress can only be called the master of imperial concubines with two or more grades in the harem, and the rest can only be called the "little master". Like the five Phoenix hairpin on your head, it can only be worn if you are above the third grade. I see that it''s OK. If the censor knows it, it''s necessary to take part in your "surpassing system". When the time comes, there will be no light on her face. It''s true that a gentle and beautiful person is favored by Chen Jiaguang, but a respectful person should also cherish her. It''s not easy for her to be in the palace. Don''t let her be delayed by her family. I have something else to do. I''ll leave first. "


    With that, regardless of Chen Guo''s iron green face and the retention of the staff, he took his servants out of the silver house. After getting on the carriage, Su he said with a smile: "it''s still the change of wife''s timing. Chen Gongren can''t speak in a few words. It''s just that there''s a beauty in the family who''s so arrogant. Our government is the Queen''s family, and it''s not like that since then. "


    Leisurely light smile: "you say this, a hundred years of the family''s heritage is not an outbreak of generals than the family?"


    Gan song made a gesture and hit himself in the mouth: "yes, madam is right. Maidservants really shouldn''t be. How can their family be compared with the government?"


    I don''t know if someone did it on purpose. A few years ago, there was a royal censor telling me that general Wei''s family members wore headgear to surpass the standard. Although the Emperor just reprimanded Chen Shan a few words and punished him for his salary in March, he didn''t care about Chen Yuzhen, and instead spoiled other people. In addition, there are many things to do at the end of the year, so the hot soft beauty suddenly has a sign of falling out of favor.

 Chapter 520

    Naturally, it can''t escape the eyes of the master of the harem. Shen Tianwei said: "before the new people enter the palace, the old people will fall out of favor. This is not good. It''s rare for the emperor to like it. If you ask someone to call Chen, you''ll have to wait until the beautiful girl enters the palace. "


    Green he some don''t understand: "maidservant don''t understand Niang Niang this is what meaning?"? Why do you want to help her? "


    Shen Tian sneered: "the others are too useless. Among the four people, only Chen''s is a little interesting. As soon as his majesty ascended the throne, a "double pearl in the capital" appeared. They both had great ambitions. The so-called "heaven will bring great responsibility to these people, so we must first work hard to make them happy."


    The so-called "double pearls in Beijing" refers to the daughter of Gu Jingke, the Minister of household affairs, and miss Zhong, the daughter of the head of Jinghua County. Compared with Chen''s, these two obviously ambitious women make Qinghe even more unhappy. She naturally happy to add to the two blocking, but also afraid that it will go wrong, but let Chen''s profit.


    So Qinghe still hesitated: "if Chen''s family is really big, isn''t it..."


    Shen Tian concentrated: "with her family background and knowledge, if she can be prosperous forever, it''s also her ability. You don''t have to worry about it. Was it rare to see such things in the palace before? "


    Seeing that Shen Tian didn''t care about it, Qinghe sighed in his heart. He didn''t know whether to be happy or sad for the master. She calmed down. In any case, the Lord''s words were the imperial edict. She just wanted to live well and follow them.


    On this day, Chuang Tzu sent some excellent crispy lotus roots, fresh river shrimp and other things, as well as a few strings of red grapes. Leisurely see that grape grain is not big, hand picked a put in the mouth: "this grape is not big, the taste is really sweet."


    The woman who came to deliver the goods said with a smile: "no, it grows in the mountains. Most mountain grapes are sour. It''s rare to meet such sweet grapes. It''s also a coincidence that we are in charge of the family to meet such a grapevine. There are not many in all. We chose the best one to taste for our masters. "


    Leisurely said with a smile: "you bother." Said to let the servant girl take a red envelope to her, and let a person take her down to rest.


    Seeing that it was still early, leisurely said to Shen Xi and Tao Liang: "it''s a rare fine day today. It''s always boring at home. Why don''t we go to the street and have a look at the princess later. I haven''t had time to visit her since she left


    Shen Xi didn''t want to go out, but Tao Liang clapped and praised him: "that''s a good idea. Shifu likes grapes best. I think there are two rhododendrons in my aunt''s flower house. It''s just when they are in bud. Let''s take them with us to the master to make her happy. "


    Leisurely rather helpless looking at her, but Shen Xi was angry and happy by her, took a finger to point her forehead: "you this'' borrow flowers to offer Buddha ''also use too slip, net take sister-in-law''s good things to honor your master."


    Tao Liang spat out his tongue: "I''m not without a thing? Besides, with the relationship between my aunt and my master, even if I don''t say it, my aunt won''t lose my master. " Then he jumped to leisurely, shook her arm and said, "aunt, is what I said reasonable?"


    Leisurely smile: "nature is reasonable."


    Shen Xi said to one side, "my sister-in-law will be used to her!"


    Leisurely smile to peach good make eyes: "don''t go to coax your aunt." Peach good understanding, butt bump butt bump ran to Shen Xi: "good aunt, I also filial piety you." Then he took out a very small and delicate white jade box from his purse and opened it and said, "look, aunt, this is my latest dough paste, which is made of superior pearl powder and red ginseng. It''s going to be winter. With my assurance, aunt, you dare to face the cold and have a beautiful winter. "


    Shen Xi is amused by her one joy: "you ah, how come so some witty words." It is leisurely to feel this words a little familiar, but she also didn''t think carefully, the eye sees time is not early, several people urgently changed clothes and then went out.


    Leisurely thinking that the jewelry shop didn''t succeed that day, he said to them, "we''re just going to walk on Guangning street. Fangjieer''s shop is there. Let''s stop by and have a look."


    Smell speech, Tao Liang some accident: "I just heard Fang sister said her family to open a South shop, did not expect to open to Guangning street, where the shop is not cheap?"


    Leisurely nodded: "it''s said that it costs 45000 taels of silver to buy a shop alone. It''s also a coincidence that a wealthy family wants to go back to their hometown to keep filial piety. They want to sell the shop here and go to Jiangnan to buy a new one. Otherwise, the shops here can''t be bought with money. "


    Tao Liang sighed a little lonely: "well, I thought I had earned some money in the past two years, but I felt very poor after such a comparison. I wanted to buy a shop, but now I guess my silver is not enough. "


    Shen Xi comforted her quickly: "the big one can''t afford to buy a small one. You don''t have enough money. I can lend you some. You look so sad. It''s ugly."


    Smell speech, peach good face more collapsed, nose eyebrow of all wrinkled together. Leisurely smile: "OK, OK, change back quickly. Your aunt is right. You''re not good-looking. " Then he comforted her: "didn''t you say you saved six or seven thousand silver last time? Even if you can''t buy a big shop, it''s more than enough to buy a small shop on the side street. You don''t have to belittle yourself all the time. The dowry of the commoner girls in the Duke''s family is not so much. For example, the Marquis''s office in Changping is generous to the common women, and each of them has only five thousand taels


    Tao Liang opened his eyes wide: "aunt, is that true? Isn''t it said that thick marriage prevails nowadays? I don''t think we can get down the things we have prepared for my aunt with 5000 liang of furniture alone, let alone other things. What''s the big family doing with 5000 yuan? I can''t even buy a shop. "


    Shen Xi knew more about the way here: "well, the example is the example. But if you get the favor of the elders, naturally there are private subsidies. Plus a part of the dowry, the dowry will not be too ugly. "


    Tao liang thought for a while, then nodded thoughtfully: "it seems that it''s not easy to be a common girl. Dowry is a matter of one generation. What''s the use of looking good on the face? If you don''t have something practical, if you marry a concubine again and become a couple, you don''t even have pocket money. What a tragedy


    Shen Xi curled his lips: "OK, you are a big girl who talks about getting married all day long. When outsiders hear you, what can you say about your mother-in-law?"


    While talking, the carriage just stopped. Taoliang was busy getting out of the car to see the new store of the Yang family, but he didn''t care to quarrel with Shen Xi.


    Tao Liang looked at the big shop with four doors on the upper and lower floors. He couldn''t help but tut tut: "this shop is really impressive!"


    There happened to be a servant girl passing by. After listening to her words, she looked at her clothes and thought that she was not well dressed, so she snorted: "I don''t know where she came from. I really don''t know!"

 Chapter 521

    Don''t say it''s taoliang, even leisurely who got off the bus later was very angry when he heard this, and didn''t know whose servant girl was so rude! Leisurely is about to export inquiry, listen to a delicate voice from the servant girl behind ring up: "Cui Rou, don''t be rude!" Then, the man came to leisurely and gave a salute: "the little girl is helpless under the rule. She let the servant girl collide with her wife. Please forgive her." Finish saying then let servant girl give peach


    Good make amends, that servant girl curls to curl a mouth, don''t want of line a gift, peach good see her that appearance in the heart only feel flustered. But thinking that the other party was at least a guest of Yang''s uncle, she could not damage the business of Yang''s family, so she had to endure.


    As soon as I saw this girl, I frowned slightly and said to myself silently: I blame myself for not looking at the Yellow calendar before going out. I think it''s not suitable to go to the street these days. How can I meet people I don''t want to see every time I go to the street. After so many years, leisurely has already learned how to say something wrong. She doesn''t like each other any more and says with a smile: "Miss Zhong is polite. My niece has always been a little bit off. She is not as dignified as the girl. She makes the girl laugh." It turned out that this little girl was once brought by Fang Xinsu on that day


    Miss Zhong, who went to see each other leisurely.


    Miss Zhong said with a light smile, "I''m not sure. I heard that this shop has just opened. I didn''t expect that my wife also heard about the name of this place." Leisurely heart sneer, is not only heard? But he didn''t say much. Thinking of the other party''s identity, he turned his eyes and said with a smile: "yes, I heard that there are excellent gems and other things here. Don''t I want to prepare a dowry for my sister-in-law? Just want to come and have a look. " Said, with Tao Liang two make an eye


    Color.


    A lot of peaches are so good that they suddenly understand the meaning of leisurely and pretend to be impatient: "OK, aunt, let''s go in quickly, or the good things will be robbed by others." Said, preempted a step to walk in.


    Leisurely see taoliang in, then deliberately delay time, so that she and inside communication. So he said with a smile, "I haven''t seen the Lord of Jinghua County since I returned to Beijing. How is he now?" Miss Zhong replied with a smile: "my mother is always fine. Thank you for your memory. But madam, after so many years, she is still a face full of Hibiscus, without any trace of time. She really has the skill to keep her face What she said is not all big talk. There is no woman who does not love beauty. Miss Zhong


    Unmarried girls are over 20 years old. In some ways, they are not as good as those green girls who are 16 or 17 years old. Now she saw that leisurely in her early thirties was still like a young girl, with no wrinkles on her face, and she was not envious.


    Leisurely smile back: "girl over praise, I am just a better mentality, which than the natural beauty of the girl! It''s said that the girl is also in the draft this time. I think she will be able to stand out from the crowd


    Although Miss Zhong had some ambition in her heart, she refused to admit it. She quickly said, "madam, I''m joking. I''m Pu Liuzhi, but I don''t want to embarrass my family when I''m in the draft. I don''t dare to think about other things."


    Don''t think much about it? Hum, I''m afraid I want too much!


    Leisurely estimated time is almost, then said with a smile: "girl is really polite." Then he looked around and said with a smile, "look at me, I haven''t seen you for a long time. I''ve been chatting with the girl, but I forget that it''s in the street. Let''s go in and have a look. "


    In the shop, Tao Liang and Yang Lu have already discussed. Today we must slaughter the fat sheep of the Zhong family! Let her not well discipline servant girl, dare to look down upon oneself!


    Leisurely, as soon as they entered the shop, taoliang welcomed them: "aunt, the shopkeeper here said that a box of excellent gems had just arrived. In addition to the common pigeon blood, there was also a very rare rose ruby. If you want to make a headdress for your aunt, you''d better be gorgeous."


    Shen Xi saw that she couldn''t help winking at leisurely. He felt funny in his heart, but he forced himself to smile and give her a way out: "what are you huqin? I''m not going to the draft. What do I want to do? What''s more, I don''t lack red treasure in my head. "


    Tao Liang pulled her sleeve: "look, it''s nothing." With that, he said to the shopkeeper, "take the box of gems you just said and show them to us."


    Shopkeeper''s understanding: "also invite a few girls and madame to the elegant room for a moment." Miss Zhong used to just stroll around. Now when she heard that there was such a rare gem here, she was curious. Women, who don''t love gems? She really wanted to see it, but it was obvious that leisurely and his party said it first, and she didn''t want to be the first. People come and go here,


    If you are too overbearing, it will do harm to your reputation


    When Miss Zhong was thinking about how to open her mouth, she suddenly said, "I don''t know what Miss Zhong wants to see? If you don''t have a clue at the moment, you might as well go in and have a look with us. "


    This is exactly what she wants, but miss Zhong declined to say: "please look at it first. In case the little girl and her wife fall in love with the same thing, won''t it spoil her elegance?"


    Leisurely heart tut Tut, just by this not only want to be XX, but also want to set up a memorial archway style, the Zhong girl must be in line with today''s heart. It''s the same affectation!


    Leisurely and pretending to invite some, Miss Zhong just "reluctantly" followed them into the elegant room. In the end, nature is very "sorry" to rush to buy the rose ruby that can be "gorgeous".


    After the Zhong family left, Yang Lu handed the money ticket to Tao Liang: "you little girl, you really have a heart. You sell a two hundred taels of gems to two thousand taels. I''m also ashamed of this skill."


    Tao Liang took the silver note with a smile and took out one from it and handed it to Yang Lu: "this is also the light of my uncle. It''s not good to use your place for nothing. This is the tea money for you."


    Yang Lu waved his hand and said with a smile, "OK, we are not outsiders. Don''t follow me. Put it away as a dowry."


    Smell speech, peach good then put the silver ticket roll eight roll bar into his purse, smile of say: "that I don''t with Uncle polite."


    Seeing this, leisurely and Shen Xifang had some aftertaste: "together, this gem is yours, not from this shop?" Taoliang nodded: "Uncle Yang, all the top-grade goods here have been cut off by our family? I don''t think there''s a place to live in! I took two precious stones with me to press the bottom of the box. When I saw them, I took them out for use. Originally, I thought that Miss Zhong was born in a noble family. She didn''t have to be aggressive. I didn''t expect that she really paid a high price for it. If I had known, I should have taken another pink ruby with better quality and bigger size. "

 Chapter 522

    After listening to Tao Liang''s words, leisurely said: "at the beginning, you were so shameless that you ground those rare gems with your uncle. Didn''t you say that you wanted to be a dowry? How can you be willing to sell it? " Different from the ordinary girl, when she heard that dowry was necessary to blush and be shy, taoliang said, "I''m not in a hurry now. I still have several years to save dowry. It''s like Miss Zhong who is in her twenties just now. I''ll go back to her


    They all respect the old and love the young. How can they compete with her? "


    Shen Xi sneered: "I think you''re embarrassed to have trouble with her silver."


    Tao Liang said with a smile: "that is, who can''t live with silver in this world. But in the final analysis, I am a noble person. I can''t bear to see people dreaming of a stone, so I have to give up. It''s rare for a girl like me to sacrifice herself for others. "


    Shen Xi was angry and happy by her: "you are the most unreasonable."


    It''s leisurely nodding with a smile. In this cannibal society, a man should be as shameful as Tao Liang.


    "Oh, no!" Shen Xi still felt that something was wrong. She asked strangely, "aren''t we going to Prince Rong''s house? What are you doing with a gem? "


    Tao Liang opened his wallet to them and said, "play with it. When you''re in a bad mood, take it out and have a look at their glittering and translucent appearance There was also an emerald the size of a lotus seed and several pearls of different colors.


    Mmm... This hobby is like the magic dragon in legend!


    Shen Xi laughs: "your hobby is really special!"


    This kind of special hobby makes leisurely and Shen Xi amused. After laughing for a while, Shen Xi frowned and said, "it''s just like Miss Zhong''s idea that makes her crown the harem. Doesn''t it make our lady sad?" Leisurely smile: "no matter how much she is favored, can she still surpass the empress? Our empress is the most virtuous and generous. She will never bother with her concubine. " Then he changed his mind and said to taoliang, "since you are not in a hurry to save the dowry, why don''t you take out that peach Ruby and do good deeds? Beijing Double


    There are two of them, pearl. Are you biased towards the Zhong family


    Taoliang nodded with a smile: "that peach is bigger and more even. My aunt has to sell it for me at a good price!"


    Leisurely look at her: "don''t worry, you are indispensable. Well, it''s getting late. If it''s too late, let''s go. "


    So the three of them went to Prince Rong''s house with each other. Fang Xinsu was very happy to see them: "you''re just in time. I''m bored at home. I want to go out and have a look.". The man also said that within three months, the tire was not stable, so it was better to go out less. I''m considerate of others. In middle age, it''s not good for me to have only my brother as a direct son. It''s too against him


    ¡£¡± Behind her, a girl in her early ten years old changed her face when she heard this, and was just looked at leisurely. She stepped forward and took Xin Su''s arm: "OK, don''t install samples here. It''s so easy to have this baby. It''s like you''re not happy!" Say it while you go back


    I''ve got a big mouth. Fang Xinsu understood the meaning of leisurely, but she didn''t care at all. She said to Tao Liang with a smile, "you little heartless girl, if your aunt doesn''t come, you don''t come to greet the master. What are you doing at home all day? I''ll have to test you later. If my painting skills go down, I don''t want to


    According to the law


    Tao Liang said with a smile: "although I am lazy in other places, I am not afraid of the test."


    Fang Xinsu said happily, "that''s good. If you really draw well later, master, I have something good for you." Qi big girl see always to oneself not false color''s direct mother, the outward person is the appearance of amiable countenance, in the heart more injustice. Face more with a bit of grievance, a pair of eyes watery eyes will leave tears.


    Just as Fang Xinsu turned around to see her like this, she just felt angry: "it''s nothing to do with you. What are you doing with this appearance?"


    Leisurely and hurried forward to conciliation: "big girl may be in the eyes into the sand, designated not sincere, why so. How clever and sensible your eldest girl is. Don''t be dissatisfied. " While talking, I winked.


    She said, holding Qi''s shoulder: "your mother''s concubine is pregnant when she is in an unstable mood. Sometimes she loses her temper, but it''s not aimed at you. Don''t worry about it." And then let her mammy take her out.


    After she left, Fang Xinsu was still a little angry: "like her biological mother, she only pretends to be in a good mood in the town. She is always tearful, just like others owe her." Leisurely advised her: "I know your temper, also won''t advise you to do that kind and generous appearance. Is it just that she is going to grow up, or is it just that you are not going out to be a guest in the future? If your stomach is a boy, it''s OK


    Your heart is a girl. In the future, there will be a poor elder sister and her reputation will be hindered. "


    Fang Xinsu sighed: "I understand what you said, but every time I see her, I think of what happened in those years. I always feel that I can''t get out of it." Shen Xi had already taken Tao Liang to the garden. There were only two of them left in the meeting room. He said leisurely, "if you don''t like her, you can send her away. Find two well behaved mothers and good students to teach them. How can they live on this big plane. Her aunt is gone, and she is still young


    I''ll help you in the future. " Fang Xinsu shook his head gently: "it''s nothing. I can''t think of anything that can help me or not. I''ll tell you, the rules don''t work well. When the time comes, it''s still the face of the palace. I just think it''s for the palace. " Then he sighed: "it''s really hard for women in this world to do it. Sometimes they think about themselves


    I also think it''s a boy or a girl. If we want to have a baby, we can go to our husband''s house in the future. Let''s just endure some of our own sins. How can we give up when it comes to children? " Leisurely said with a smile: "you''re right. Girls are really hard in this world. You still laugh at me when I saved dowry wood for sister an. Now you know my mood? In addition to the fact that she will spend a lot of time on her marriage in the future, that is to say, more money will be given to her dowry. She will have enough money to marry her husband in the future. "
