A world of glory

The second lady said: "Su girl, why are you here late today, but there are too many things in the house." The second lady hurriedly smiled and said: "A few younger sisters help me, which can relieve my worries. And It doesn't affect the affairs of the mansion, but sister Luan had a fever all night last night, and she left this morning, because she came late." The second lady said again: "Yesterday afternoon, I saw some maids and sister Luan My son is playing with butterflies, he is so hot that he is sweating all over his head, and he is too naughty, I think it is because of this." The second wife nodded hurriedly and said: "No, when I came back yesterday, I said it was hot, and I took off my clothes and used it. A few pieces of ice, and I developed a fever at night." The second wife Fang said: "Since my sister is ill, you should send someone to tell me, it's only a few words?"

The madam smiled and said: "It's also Su girl's filial piety. I'm afraid my sister will be worried if she finds out, and she will hurt her body." My son is sick, so I need to get some supplements." As he said that, he ordered Caiyun to fetch some expensive supplements to send to Sister Luan.

For a while, the show started again on the stage, and the remnant seats on the table were also removed, and a new banquet was put on.Due to his previous boredom, Qin Yi didn't use much. He only filled a bowl of mountain fungus and pheasant soup and used it slowly.Suddenly, Qingyun came in with a basket of crystal crab meat dumplings, walked to Feixue's side, lowered her head and smiled and said a few words, then put down the dishes and went out.Seeing that Qing Yun had gone out, Fei Xue pulled Fei Yu again, whispered a few words in her ear, and the two of them covered their faces and smiled.

The second wife was at the table, watching Qing Yun's movements, frowned slightly, and said to the old lady with a smile: "Let me go out and have a look, the old lady will save some food for me, and come to drink with my aunt later." The wife was very happy listening to the play, and hurriedly said: "Go and come back quickly. If you are late, you will have to be fined." The second wife just resigned.

After leaving the yard, the second wife led people to the front yard and entered the East Nuan Pavilion first, where Biyu and Shuangcheng were sitting at the table looking over the accounts.Seeing the second wife coming in, she got up and waited for the second wife to take off her clothes. Biyu brought tea and said with a smile: "Didn't grandma go to drink, why are you here again?" On the Wenjin couch, I received a cover bowl with a pastel painted gold play baby picture, and I didn't need tea. I just lowered my head and thought. Seeing this, Jasper took a gold silk spoon and added incense in the Jasper Longevity Ruyi incense burner.The second wife raised her head, suddenly remembered something, and asked with a smile: "Don't be too busy, I will go there later, today I am taking care of Sister Luan, and I am too lazy to care about the affairs of this house, but something happened. Is there anything wrong?"

Hearing the second wife's question, Biyu glanced at the second wife carefully, and then said: "It's not a big deal, but I just listened to the woman in charge saying that the two girls seemed to have a quarrel, and I heard that the eldest son bumped into each other. Come on." The second wife bowed her head and drank her tea. After hearing this, she immediately put down the teacup and said with a sneer, "I also know that there are some daring masters in the mansion. Today it's in a state of disrepair, and even the old lady's words have been obeyed." Shuangcheng has always been a caring and understanding person. Hearing the second wife's anger, he quickly put down the account book in his hand, and said with a smile: "Grandma, please don't worry about it." Get angry, all the daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law in this mansion are like this, they don’t want to die when they see money, don’t talk about the old lady’s words, I’m afraid that the king of hell is here, and he is still holding on to the money.”

Hearing the second wife's smile, she just laughed and scolded: "You stalker, you can make up anything, and you're not afraid of knives from the sky." Shuangcheng just smiled and didn't speak.The second wife said again: "Why did you get involved with the eldest son again? You should also punish these daughters-in-law and mother-in-law, so that if there is a real disturbance, I will lose face as a housekeeper." Biyu smiled and said: " Those people are also watching people order dishes, and it's because grandma is not around, they have no control, they don't know what to do, and there are even more weird things." Shuangcheng came over with a food box, and said with a smile: "Although the words are That's the case, but today's matter is too ignorant. Hearing from Yu Ye, he even dared to play with the opponent's cards in the mansion. If he didn't care about it, he might even imitate the key in Curry tomorrow. "

After hearing this, the second wife knew it clearly, she sneered sternly and said with a prestige: "I have always given them dignity, but now I am more patient than the master. Listen, it's not good to just imitate the pair of cards, I'm afraid it's someone who will be implicated." There are quite a few, I don't care about the truth today, I'm afraid it's my aunt and grandma who will take the responsibility for them tomorrow." Then he ordered: "Today is Brother Xian's birthday, so it's not appropriate to make a fuss, you guys And lead people to arrest all the involved daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, and I will come to interrogate later." Both Shuangcheng and Biyu agreed, and the second wife Fang got up, and led people to Qunfang Garden.

Not long after the second wife Fang went out, Qin Yi was just putting away the soup bowl and carrying a crystal crab meat dumpling. Just as he was about to eat it, he saw a servant girl rushing into the room, saluted the old lady, and said, "Your Majesty is here! Master Zhou Zhou came to send a message, saying that a distinguished guest has come, please come and see him." The old lady heard this, and said: "Since the distinguished guest is here, Brother Yi, let's go out and meet him." Qin Yifang stood up, Take the order and go.

Just after leaving the courtyard, he saw Master Zhou leading people waiting outside. Qin Yi asked, "Who is here? Why did you only call me to go there alone, but what is the reason?" Master Zhou laughed and said, "Master Hou only sent The villain came to pass the message, as for the distinguished guest, the villain doesn't know, the eldest son will go and see." Then he ordered someone to bring up the soft sedan chair, invited Qin Yi to take his seat, and went straight to the front study.

The former study room was abandoned after the completion of the scroll building, and now it is used as a place for the Lord Hou to entertain guests and talk.Qin Yi entered the house, and before he entered the room, he heard Lord Hou's voice saying: "Mr. Ning Nan has praised you absurdly. The emperor's kindness is so great. Why don't you be loyal to your duty and rely on Quan Yin's kindness." As soon as the words fell, the accompanying servant said: The young master is here." Qin Yi went straight into the room, but saw two people sitting in the room, the one on the left was a young gentleman, handsome and well-spoken, but it was Lin Zhonghang, the grandson of Duke Ningnan that Qin Yi had seen before. , hurried forward to salute.Hou Yefang said: "This is the dog Qin Yi. He was born clumsy, but he dare not say the word Chufeng. But he can read some words and a few pages of books."

Lin Zhonghang hurriedly laughed and said: "This is the humble resignation of Lord Hou. I have heard that the eldest son of the mansion is the most hardworking, and he is based on benevolence and righteousness. How can ordinary people compare with it?" Seeing that Lord Hou still wanted to speak modestly, Lin Zhonghang laughed again Said: "The last time I came back from a hunting trip, I saw the eldest son giving porridge and medicine in the village, but he did not say anything for goodness. It is in line with the behavior of a gentleman. He is a hero, and he can be called an heir." Hearing this, his eyes moved slightly, and Fang said again: "This trivial matter is not worth mentioning. Brother Pingyun is doing well recently. It has been more than a year since we left Yunzhou." Lin Zhonghang only smiled and said: "To be safe, my father often mentions Lord Hou, and this time he came to Beijing, he asked me to ask Lord Hou for advice."

Hou Ye brushed his beard and smiled, and said: "Brother Pingyun and I have been friends for decades, and now I am happy to see my nephew talking in a subtle way, with the style of my ancestors." Admiring again, Fang talked with Lin Zhonghang about Yun Regarding the matter of Zhouzhou, I asked: "Yunzhou's first term has troubled a lot of local families. This time, it is Liu Daozun who took over Yunzhou. But there are rumors, but he was born in a humble family, so he is not compatible with the family, and he has no chance to meet each other."

Hou Ye pondered and said: "But because of the matter of Gao's family, I am not the one to refuse. It's just that there are many twists and turns in this matter, and there are imperial decrees, but there is nothing to do." As for family affairs, misfortune only comes, how do you know that my Lin family can avoid disaster and avoid disaster." Hou Ye comforted: "Although it is said that Ningnan Gongfu is related to Gao's family by marriage, but the wind and dust are in the heart of the emperor, and I will be at ease." Compared with the dandy and extravagant family, why bother to deal with the turmoil."

Lin Zhonghang listened and remained silent.Hou Ye said again: "Nowadays, the sage is wise, and the affairs of Gao's family have been deeply investigated. Although it is a disaster, but they have a good reputation for picking people's fat and cruelly torturing the village. The word "wrongful" is just a joke, and it's all about saving some face. I have made up my mind, but my nephew's toil is in vain." Hearing what Hou Ye said, Lin Zhonghang knew that although Jing Ping Hou came from a family, he hated the rich and poor people the most in his life, and the Gao family's affairs were I dare not mention a word again.He only said: "Last year there was another riot in the southwest. Fortunately, the black tiger army cooperated and finally calmed down. My father wrote a letter to ask for an order to raise the army. Unexpectedly, all the Qingliu in the court repayed their grievances with virtue. They only said to live with the people, but Governance and famine cannot be achieved."

Hou Ye laughed and said: "The Qingliu in the court has always been like this. There has never been a sound of fighting to end the war. Brother Pingyun has presented the memorial, and I think he has a plan in his chest. He understands the emperor's heart. It's just a rotten Confucian's cliché, but It's just the wind passing." Lin Zhonghang also laughed when he heard it: "It's my nephew who is lying. I'm sorry to see you laughing at the generous family." Hearing this, Lord Hou's heart was moved, and he sighed to himself that he would cultivate himself and make a family. Seeing that it is known, Ning Nangong's mansion is full of talents, thinking about the mansion, thinking about the foreword, but feeling bored in his heart, he just stared at Qin Yi and said: "You still don't go out, can't you wait for the old lady to send someone to call you? It's useless." Qin Yi heard this, and Fang resigned.

For a while, he was depressed and coughed a few more times, but a few young men who are used to observing words and expressions surrounded him, and said with a smile: "Master, I feel unwell, let's go to the yard and say something here." The sedan chair came over and said flatteringly: "It's a long way here, we'll take you there for a few minutes." Qin Yi knew that these young men were used to begging for rewards and begging, and it was not easy to offend them, so they only took a few A gold thread purse came out and said with a smile, "it's very lively in the mansion today, let's have a drink." Then he coughed again.Those young servants took the purse, touched it, and found that there were a lot of silver boxes inside. They were even more delighted, and helped Qin Yi into the sedan chair, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, this sedan chair is fast and stable." As he spoke, he ordered someone to go to Jingsongyuan to deliver the message.
