Femme Beauty

In the evening, the man was released from the prison of the Yangzhou government office.When Lin Ruhai heard the news, she was sure it was just a false alarm, so she didn't care.Just asked the housekeeper to send some supplements.What he didn't expect was that after ten days, he got the news from the inner government order.The man handed him a brochure, which was covered in black satin, with silver thread embroidered dark patterns on it, and it was for the imperial edict to pass the brochure to the emperor.

Glancing at the other party, he opened the booklet and found that it contained the process and inference of his murder.Among them are large pieces of investigative and forensic stuff.

The man's surname was Xu, and he went to Yunnan to be the magistrate on his recommendation.The performance is good, and I will return to my hometown in three years to prepare for the official assessment next year.The autumn flowers he brought over were indeed very qualified in craftsmanship.But he was not wronged, although there is no evidence that he directly poisoned.However, his private relationship with the Zhen family is very noticeable.The autumn flowers were not only given to Lin Ruhai for the teeth-beating sacrifice, but also sent to the third room of the Zhen family.The banquet for Lin Ruhai that day was also done by the other two following the uprising.I just brought the words of the third bedroom of the Zhen family, saying that the autumn flowers are very delicious.Compared with the local ones, the taste is much more authentic.That's why, he brought the autumn flowers to set a table.

When choosing tea dishes, there are also people who eat too much greasy food in the past, and want to have something different.With all these signs, although it is impossible to determine who poisoned it.However, it is certain that this Xu and the other two Gao brothers cannot escape suspicion.But in order not to startle the snake, the inner government order simply released it after hearing the news.

Lin Ruhai closed the booklet, got up and thanked him: "Thank you, sir, for clarifying the confusion, but it's hard to say who did it... Maybe there are some people who handled it. It's not appropriate to arrest them together. Besides, I have to leave Jiangnan is here. There is no rush to settle the score."

"If Lord Ruhai thinks so, I can rest assured. I still have tasks for the time being, and I cannot leave Jiangnan. Has Lord Ruhai taken care of the affairs of the capital?"

"Oh...the housekeeper has been sent to Beijing to rectify ahead of time. Our family has an old house in the capital, although it is so old that it is repaired every year."

"That's good!" The man nodded, got up and saluted, took the booklet and said goodbye.They have worked together for more than five years. Although this person is an eunuch, he has a character of not talking much at all.And Lin Ruhai didn't have much contact with him because of his relationship with internal eunuchs and foreign ministers.It's just Yu Wai, somewhat admiring.

Wang Xifeng boarded the boat early and had already traveled half of the distance.A letter from Beijing said that the new Yanzheng was ready to go on the road.The trip would take more than half a month, and Wang Xifeng boarded the boat when he set off there.She sometimes thought that maybe the two ships could still pass by each other.

Looking at the tender willows with branches on the bank, she lamented her experience over the years.

Qiu Ju sat on one side, embroidering a handkerchief.Looking at Wang Xifeng who was in a daze, she put down the work in her hand: "Grandma, what do you think Beijing looks like now?"

"What else can we do?" Wang Xifeng sneered: "The old lady built a garden, how can we say that we have left long ago and have not torn face. The younger generation can't care about the affairs of the previous generation. It's just that I read the letter not long ago, saying that it was mine. It’s up to the father-in-law to fulfill his promise. The title has been restored to Duke Rong, and your grandmother is also the young lady of the Rong state mansion. What’s the matter?”

Wang Xifeng thought clearly about this, especially when Jia Amnesty returned to Duke Rong.Although he is still herding horses in the northwest, he is still a super-class Duke after all.On the old lady's side, not to mention the imperial order, only the second uncle is in Jiangxi with a fourth-rank official position.But she heard that there are many ways in Jiangxi Liangdao, and she still doesn't know what to do in the future.Back then, he let his subordinates follow suit and let them sue.That Jia Yucun is not a kind person. Last year, he was able to bring the book by himself. Who knows what will happen in the future.But she remembered that it was this Jia Yucun, who had achieved the title of Doctor Yushi.In the past, the emperor could use him as a knife, and now he can.

"But we haven't been there for three or four years." Qiu Ju thought about the prosperity of the capital and the aristocratic families inside, and sighed for her grandmother.

"It doesn't matter if you're here or not?" Wang Xifeng understood what she meant.Going back at this time, there is no Mrs. Guogong in the Rongguo Mansion, and I used to be the head grandma.In the original social networking, no one was recommended.She hooked her lips: "You know that although your grandma and I love the excitement, I don't go to all the excitement. Just one thing, I don't go to the excitement in the Second Uncle's Mansion. Besides, Rongguo Mansion got it. Hands. My father-in-law wrote in a letter saying that, except for the main house, other things are up to me. Grandma is the head of the house, and she is still busy."

Qiu Ju glanced at her: "It's really hard to say, maybe when grandma wants to buy someone, the old lady will say that she has kept someone."

"The elders don't dare to resign. After receiving it for two days, we found the wrong one and sold it. Besides, there are only a few of us, and there are only two masters at the top. Uncle Lin will give you all the carriage servants and so on. Master finished it. When they were on the road, I brought them along. The ones around me are all the dowries from the beginning, and the women who have good sewing and sewing in the past two years. How many people can she squeeze in? There are too many people, Why don't I send it back to her if there is no land?" Wang Xifeng smiled mildly and said nothing.

Entering the capital, it is already the end of March and the beginning of April.Because someone had been arranged to come back a long time ago to make arrangements, besides the porters who were waiting at the pier, there were also the stewards who arranged the capital.

After Wang Xifeng bid farewell to Steward Lin on the shore, she got into her carriage.Waiting in the carriage was Dongmei who came back early.

Wang Xifeng entered the carriage and sat down with Mrs. Tang in her arms: "How is everything at home?"

"I didn't move at all. I just cleaned up and tidied up grandma's yard. But in the mansion next door, the second wife sent someone to ask about the return date, and said that there was a banquet for entertainment. I replied that the waterway was lucky. , I don’t know the date to cut it. And grandma came back alone, so it’s just inconvenient to go there.” Dongmei lowered the curtain and urged the driver into the city.

Wang Xifeng touched the warm water in his hand, opened one side of the curtain and watched the bustle outside just after the market opened.At this time, I was walking on the downtown road, but I was looking lively.She looked through and asked about the news here.

"Did you report to my natal family in the past few days?"

"I went there in person, but Madam said that if you arrive, you must go to her place on the first day. And explain, don't mess with the old lady unless you have to."

"But what's the fun?" Qiu Ju sat aside and looked at Dongmei curiously.

"It's hard to say." Dongmei will lift a cracked door curtain because of the wind and make it right. "Not long ago, I wrote a booklet, saying that I would ask my mother to visit my relatives on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. But when will my mother visit my relatives?" There are three of them. There is news from the palace that they will come during the Dragon Boat Festival. They are busy there right now! I heard that even Mr. Zheng wants to come back quickly. However, there is an order from the palace. It is said that it is to let Baoyu And grandma Zhu took Lang Geer to live in. It is not good to say that it is empty, and it is good to be more popular. The old lady asked me to tell me that if grandma came back alone, she might as well live in. I said that grandma came back to play the front station, maybe the second master and the uncle's family will go to Beijing in two months. Besides, grandma is the housekeeper grandma of Rongguo Mansion, so it is unreasonable to live in another place. Let the old woman say Give me a meal, but that's all." Having said this, Dongmei's complexion was a little bad.

Wang Xifeng smiled and pinched her: "If the old lady brings this up to me again, I will have something to say to her. It's not that I don't have my own home. Even if relatives walk around, I must not let the lonely My sister-in-law and my brother-in-law are here to join in the fun. What did sister-in-law Zhu say? Did you live in?"

"Why don't you stay in it? Fortunately, the garden was opened up from the back street, and it must be said that it is very large. The willow pond and the lotus pavilion are very unique. During the period, the courtyard was a little separated. The distance makes it necessary to lock the doors and close the doors at night. Besides, Lang Geer has grown up a bit, and the original small courtyard may not be enough." Dongmei said smoothly, but Wang Xifeng's thoughts followed the memories of the old courtyard. Grand View Garden.

Not to mention the pavilions, each courtyard is exquisite and extravagant.Many of the furnishings inside were taken out of the treasury.There are many other things that have been bought from outside at a high price.At that time, the money in her hand flowed out like running water.At that time, because she wanted to decorate the inside, even some good items in her dowry were taken away by her aunt for various reasons.Later, the Grand View Garden was closed down, and many things were taken back to the government.If not, she would have left a lot of things for sister Qiao later.

Thinking of this, she sighed and shook her head: "Okay, it's better not to talk about the things in the mansion over there. It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, so I guess it won't be too far away. In addition, aunt and uncle will come back then Entering Beijing, I'm afraid it will be even more lively."

Listening to her sigh, Qiu Ju looked out the window: "Hey... grandma has arrived in Daoxiang Village, I'm going to buy some pastries." She opened the curtain and let the driver stop and go out.

Seeing her like that, Wang Xifeng shook her head: "You said that you don't lack her food on weekdays, why are you so greedy."

Listening to what she said, Dongmei smiled with a blaming tone: "That's right, I don't make less snacks on weekdays. But speaking of it, I haven't bought it since I came back. I know if she will buy the donkey I want to eat."

"She..." Wang Xifeng opened the curtains and watched Qiu Ju enter Daoxiang Village, and shook her head with a smile: "It would be nice if she could buy her own pea yellow. Don't think too much about it, at least she can buy it back and give it to you It’s good to eat.”

Dongmei curled her lips with a smile when she heard this.Qiu Ju went in quickly and came out quickly.The way Wang Xifeng looked at her probably looked a little pea yellow.She didn't think much of it, she didn't like this snack very much herself.It's okay to taste the taste occasionally on weekdays, but forget it if you eat too much.What's more, the snacks at this time, although the raw materials are pure, are not smooth enough without isinglass and pectin.

Qiu Ju got into the car with a package of things, and opened the package with a smile. Inside were three small packages, one big and two small.She handed a paper package with red paper to Dongmei: "Your donkey is rolling, I don't have many things today. I just took two. This is my pea yellow. I bought three small ones for grandma."

Qiu Ju smiled and gave the big bag to Wang Xifeng. Wang Xifeng unwrapped the hemp rope, and inside were two pieces of jujube cake, two pieces of horseshoe and one piece of pea yellow.She smiled and rewrapped it: "Let it heat up in the afternoon, and then eat."

"I think so too." Qiu Ju smiled and put the things away, urging the driver to leave.

The plaque of Rongguo Mansion is still hanging on it. Because it was built by She, the main entrance has been repaired in recent years.Years ago, Jia Amnesty regained the position of Rong Guogong, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent people to redecorate the facade.

Wang Xifeng got off the carriage and looked at the red-painted gate and the plaque with gold letters on a black background.Sighing, he picked up the hem of his skirt and stepped up the stairs.

Looking at the open front door, this is the rule for welcoming the master of the family.The boy who opened the door was her former dowry, and it seems that the population is still enough.It’s just that Rongguo Mansion is big after all, and multi-generational management has turned what was originally a three-entry courtyard into a six-entry courtyard with garden side houses.

Entering the main entrance, you will be greeted by a small sedan chair with Ugai.After all, this is only the front yard, and the moon gate has not yet been entered.The straight avenue leads directly to Rongxi Hall in the lobby of the main courtyard.

Back in the courtyard where she lived when she was newly married, Wang Xifeng didn't ask about the affairs in the mansion first.She brought a lot of things, which were also sorted out by the women.Now the old lady took over the house of the servant behind and built a grand view garden.Many people who had served for several lifetimes had to change their residences.However, the house itself was given by the owner.There is nothing wrong with letting them out, but Wang Xifeng knew that some of them had followed them on the battlefield.Although he was a slave, he couldn't be an official or general.But in the end he walked through the pile of dead people.If the old lady does this, I'm afraid it will chill people's hearts.Originally, she would not take care of it, but now she is in charge of this family, even if it is not for Jia Lian, it is for her future children.Is there any good contraceptive method in this world, and if she wants to secure this position, she must have a child.No matter how you think about it, you have to plan ahead.

He took off his shoes and climbed onto the steaming kang.She let out a sigh of relief.Qiu Ju took the cakes she bought to Dongmei and asked her to warm them up on the stove in the small kitchen. Although pea yellow and so on are cold food, it is more palatable to warm them up a little.

"Grandma drink tea!" Qiaoyun, who got up and got off the boat in the morning, saw Wang Xifeng stepping on the kang, and brought a bowl of hot tea over: "This is what Sister Dongmei said, it's grandma's wife who loves grandma Tete Someone brought it here. Xiaomeihong, it is said that there are roses in it! Grandma, eat and see."

Seeing her pleasing look, Wang Xifeng smiled and fiddled with the gaiwan, blew on it and took a sip.The pure fragrance of roses explodes on the taste buds, which is very good.She took two sips and put it aside: "Did someone come to ask this morning?"

"I came in early, and the wife from the house next door sent someone over to ask. She said that if she could arrive at noon, she would have dinner there. She prepared noodles for grandma. I said grandma might not come back until afternoon, but I'm afraid it will be this time." I have already got the letter. Someone will come to invite you later." Qiao Yun answered simply, and Licorice came in with the words.She is someone who stays in the mansion. Just now, a mother-in-law came here, and she brought her here begging to see grandma.

"Grandma, the woman from the next house is here, and she wants grandma to come over for dinner!" Licorice stepped aside and let the woman come over.Wang Xifeng saw that it belonged to Zhou Rui's family.

Zhou Rui's family is dressed in silk and satin, which is very magnificent.She bowed to Wang Xifeng and smiled: "Our wife heard that the second grandma is here today, so she sent someone to keep an eye on her. She said that if she saw grandma coming back, she must ask grandma to come over for lunch. It's not a coincidence, I'm on this errand. But grandma will go there after tea?"

"I'm talking about that woman! It turned out to be Zhou's mother. I just heard Qiaoyun tell me about it. I was thinking, I will go there after eating this bowl of tea. I am a granddaughter-in-law, how did I find it back?" I have to go to see the old lady first." Wang Xifeng gave Qiu Ju a compliment when she entered the door, and Qiu Ju nodded and walked out.She was going to get the soil instrument that she brought over, and it seemed that the first day would not make people feel safe.

"The grandma is eating. There are a lot of things to do when I just came in. I will wait for grandma for a while. Our wife said that if we can't invite grandma, we can't go back." Zhou Rui's family smiled happily, and there are many good things today.After this month, the eldest girl will return home.What an honor that is!

"No, I'll just wait for where my maid went to bring the earthen rituals for the old lady, second aunt, brother Bao, sister-in-law Zhu and Brother Huan." Wang Xifeng picked up the tea, took a sip and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, Put your shoes on.Zhou Rui's family thought it was time to sit down, but when they saw her put on her shoes, they knew it was time to leave.He didn't say much, and went out first.Wang Xifeng followed her and asked Qiaoyun to take a cloak for her to put on.The big red jokes are made of squirrel skin.It is very windy and cold in the north this season.Although the sun is still there, it is not as warm as spring in the south.
