Weak Concubine [Qing Wear + Red House]

"Hurry up, hurry up, the mover is coming soon, and you haven't finished cleaning, how dare you be lazy at this time, is it itchy!"

"Mother?"

"Oh, it's really the end of the talk, this Duobao Pavilion can be placed, let's put it here..."

"Mother Zhao is busy!"

"Oh, Miss Ping is here, but grandma has something important to say?" Mother Zhao smiled reservedly.

Ping'er chuckled lightly:

"Grandma is checking the booklets in the warehouse, and asked me to take a look."

"Oh, you can't just call any little girl over for this matter. The sun is so poisonous, and the dust is everywhere, so you can't feel wronged girl!"

Ping'er put away half of his smile:

"Telling mom to take care of this matter is because of grandma's trust in mom. Mom, don't let grandma lose face. Just now the second master was called to scold him by the old master, saying that he didn't pay attention to treating guests with sincerity. If there is any trouble here again, That grandma will not spare anyone lightly!"

Mother Zhao looked left and right, and dragged Ping'er to the side room:

"This place has just been cleaned, the girl came over to have some tea!"

Ping'er didn't shirk, she followed and sat down.

Mother Zhao looked at no one around, and whispered:

"Miss, do you know the identity of the visitor this time? Our family usually receives relatives, but we don't see such a big crowd this time. Could there be some reason?"

"Mom is really right. Who are you talking about?"

"Who? Could it be some high-ranking official whom we met for the first time?"

"I haven't seen such a high-ranking official, the master, this time the status is unusual, but the serious relatives in the mansion, it is said that they are a pair of children from the aunt and wife, the nieces and nieces of our eldest brother's sister, you think they can be ordinary. Is it?"

"What? Auntie? Isn't there only one aunt in our family who married into the Lin family? Did you leave Miss Lin at home a few years ago? Why is there another aunt?"

Ping'er sighed:

"You have been in the mansion for 20 years and have never heard of such things, and we little ones don't know about it. It was only a few days ago when we got the letter that we knew that there was not only that aunt in our mansion. There are three more, among them, the eldest aunt and wife are from the compatriots of the elder master, but they are serious daughters-in-law!"

"..."

In Jia's mansion, the sons and daughters of the aunt's wife are coming to visit. This matter is like water entering the oil pan in the mansion. Don't mention the splashing water. Anyone who has such a good thing can't help but ask the old man in the mansion. Only then did I realize that the old Duke actually returned a wife first. It turned out that the elder master and the eldest aunt were both born to the first old lady, and the concubine daughters from the other two aunts also married early. Also never returned to Ning, only the second master and Mrs. Min are the old lady's own.

This is really a big melon. After the old lady took care of the house, most of the old people in the house were dismissed, and the rest did not dare to spread things under the old lady's hands that she didn't like to hear, so that these servants thought the old lady She is the first wife of the old Duke and the biological mother of the Grand Master.

Now looking back at what she did to the great master, it has a lot of meaning.

Baoxia next to Rongxi Hall

"Grandma has a headache again, do you want to press it?"

Wang Xifeng leaned on the imperial concubine's bed, supported her head with one hand and said exhaustedly:

"Where have you been wandering for so long, don't you see that I'm busy, and don't say you'll come back earlier to help me, I'm used to being lazy." Wang Xifeng's beautiful eyes were filled with anger.

"Grandma, don't be so busy getting annoyed. I didn't look at the mess in Lanyuan, and worried that they would lose grandma's face, so I helped Zhao's mother for a while, and I came back late."

Ping'er was familiar with his master's personality, so he was not afraid when he heard the words, and stepped forward to help rub his head.

"We need to keep an eye on them. The old people in our house are very shrewd. If they fool us inadvertently, we will be the ones who will be ashamed."

Ping'er hesitated:

"Grandma, why can't I understand what you said? Even if the children of our aunt's wife came here, it's not without precedent. Let alone Miss Lin who lives in the old lady's yard, Isn't she also the daughter of the first aunt? Isn't she crowded with the old lady after entering the mansion for a few years now?"

Wang Xifeng chuckled:

"Don't you think I don't know? When I heard that the cousins ​​were coming to the house, I planned to arrange them with the second girl, so that I would save a lot of worry by not having to deal with them, but what happened? The old man didn't know the day before yesterday What's the matter, angrily called the second master to go over to ask questions, when he heard the arrangement, he immediately threw his glass in annoyance, and scolded the second master to death, saying that he didn't see him as an old man, and now he wants to be a supervisor himself, Watching someone tidy up the yard, if he is not satisfied with the tidying up, it will be another lawsuit!"

"Then... the old lady just let the old man torment like this? In the past two days, people have turned their backs on their backs, and now there are not many people in the whole house who have no complaints."

Wang Xifeng said for a while:

"After all, it wasn't the old lady's own birth. The old man justified everything this time. The old lady is so sick that she doesn't care about things." It is said to be sick, but it is actually pretending to be sick. Anyone with a discerning eye knows in his heart that no one will expose it.

Ping'er took a breath:

"This matter is really incomprehensible. You said that the aunt did not marry a poor family. The aunt is a dignified second-class public. The current governor of Huguang, a big official, such a big official, why not Walking around frequently, without even mentioning it, the old man who has been in the mansion for more than 20 years does not know that there is such a relative!"

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows:

"I'm young, and I haven't been married for a long time, so I don't know the specifics. But I guess, although this aunt and wife did not go around the house, she must have lost contact with the old man. She is the real sister. Brother." As for the possible feud between the aunt and the old lady, I can only guess in my heart and dare not say it.

"Okay, since the old lady doesn't care about it, I still have to listen to the old man and settle the place. Earlier, I found Gesha to paste the windows and make the curtains. I was ridiculed by the old lady, and the old man was not happy. You Go to the storeroom to look for other good yarns that can be used. We are not small households, so don’t let the guests from afar make fun of us! There are also decorations, and we must choose some elegant ones, and we are not permanent residents. It's so grand!" Wang Xifeng became angry when she said that.

At the same time, Mrs. Xing is also carefully serving the angry Jia She.

"If the master thinks something is wrong, just order Lian'er and his wife to change it. Why did you get so angry and hurt yourself!"

Today she robbed Wang Xifeng not for other reasons, but because she learned "Three Obediences and Four Virtues" since she was a child, married and obeyed her husband, and always carried out Jia Amnesty's words as if it were an imperial decree.

Jia Amnesty snatched the fan from the girl who hit the fan, and slammed it fiercely:

"Counting on them? Hmph! That Lian's daughter-in-law seemed to understand at first, but now that she thinks about it, she is no more than that. She actually arranges the dignified daughter-in-law in the yard of a concubine. Who is she looking down on? If you are so contemptuous, what is it if you don’t offend someone?”

"The same goes for the outer courtyard. It's arranged outside my study, and the inside is decorated in a garish way. What does it look like? It's a hot day, can the place smell good? What if it smells like my nephew?

My nephew came to Beijing to rush for the exam. If it's because he didn't have a good rest... Bah, my nephew will definitely be named on the gold list!

In short, we can't wait for the children, the house can't produce good things, I have them in my private treasury, but they are my nephews and nieces who are half of my blood are the same as mine! "

Xingshi swallowed the words he wanted to say:

"Yes, I listen to the master. I will definitely watch them tidy up the yard of my niece, so that my daughter can live like my own home." As for the smell of their yard in summer, it doesn't matter, I have been used to it for so many years.

"You are determined, time is a bit rushed, I guess it will take less than three days for Gengyao and Jinyao's boat to arrive, you have worked hard these few days, madam!"

Xing Shi was pleasantly surprised:

"Look at what the master said, those are also my nephews and nieces. Naturally, I have to do my best. Don't worry, the master, I, I will go and see now..."

Beijing Ping'an Wharf

The three Guangzhou boats slowly approached the shore, and the Libas waiting at the pier surrounded them with a clamor, and the foremen said one after another:

"Master, do you hire Liba? They are all strong and the price is cheap."

"Please give way, everyone, please!"

The second steward of the Nian family, Nian Fu, calmly drove away the surrounding Liba, and ordered the hundred or so servants on the boat to disembark first to protect the owner's boat from being collided, and looked around for the servants of the Nian family who were coming to pick up the boat.

The Libas were all discerning, and when they saw so many servants on and off the ship, they knew that the guests would probably not hire strangers, so they spread out slowly to make room for the docks to let people disembark and unload the cargo.

Soon a middle-aged man of medium stature ran over:

"Slave Li Shun pays respects to Second Master and Fifth Miss! Master and Miss have worked hard all the way, do you want to return to the residence immediately?"

Before Nian Gengyao could answer, another person came running from a distance.

"But the Second Nian from Huguang is now?"

"Exactly, you are..."

"Greetings to Young Master Biao. The younger one is Lin Zhixiao, the steward sent by the Grand Master of the Rongguo Mansion to pick up Young Master Biao and Miss Biao."

"Oh? How is uncle?"

"Okay, okay, I just miss my aunt and look forward to the early arrival of Biao and Miss Biao, please wait a moment, Biao, our second master Lian is also here, not far away, I will wait for the young one to report and go back together House!"

Nian Gengyao nodded and let people leave, before he said to Li Shun:

"You and Steward Fu will move the bulky luggage back to our mansion first, and save the presents. My sister and I have to go to my uncle's house for a while, and you will still be in charge of the affairs of the mansion."

"Yes, Second Master!"

After all the goods on the cargo ship were loaded into the carriage, and the noise stopped, Nian Jinyao, who was so sick from sitting on the passenger ship, helped the maid's hand, and stood up gracefully:

"The capital is finally here!"
