[Qing Chuan + Red Mansion] Midas touch

After reaching an agreement with Er Niang on the matter of Nian's family and Fujin, Hong Hui had dinner in the main courtyard before returning to his own courtyard in front.As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard that the fourth master had returned to the mansion, so he went to pay his respects again.

The court had the intention of sending troops to Zhunge'er, and the burden on the shoulders of the fourth master in charge of the household department was not light.It is now September, and there are still matters to be considered for the winter march and war.When he returned to the mansion, the fourth master would not be idle, and had to discuss various matters with his cronies and staff.But in his own mansion, fourth master can bring his eldest son Honghui with him.

Honghui is the eldest son of the fourth master, who was personally raised by the fourth master as his heir.Only compared to Fourth Master's childhood, Honghui's experience is still less.

Whether it is the fourth master or the other older princes, they have all been on the battlefield. The fourth master intends to ask the eldest son to follow him to experience it, but he is also worried that he is still young, so there may be accidents.

For a while, when the business came up, those children's affections were all forgotten.When the dew is heavy at night, when changing clothes and going to bed, Honghui will let himself think about only envying mandarin ducks but not immortals, and dreaming with the beauties of the world.

……

The next day was still a bright day.After breakfast, Zuo Xi changed into a set of comfortable clothes and got on the carriage.The carriage went all the way to Lin's house, and after picking up Daiyu's siblings and Miaoyu, they turned around and headed towards the city gate.

The carriage in the Baylor Mansion is not small, even if it takes them three, one, one, and four people, it will be more than enough.Because there were children in the carriage, the bored Zuo Xi didn't ask Daiyu and Miaoyu to play against the landlord.The three gossiped a lot, and arrived at Xiaotangshan Bieyuan before they knew it.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the other courtyard, and Zuo Xi saw Eleven waiting there as soon as he came down.There was wind on the mountain, and the chill was even heavier. Seeing Eleven standing there wearing a cloak, Zuo Xi hurriedly stepped forward, touched Eleven's hand, and asked him how long he had been waiting.

Eleven looked at Zuo Xi with a gentle smile, but didn't say how long he had been standing here.

"Hands are freezing." Zuo Xi held Eleven's hands in his own, rubbed them a few times with distressed face, glanced at Tian Guo at the side, and reached out to him, "Bring it here."

Tian Guo awkwardly handed the hand stove that Eleven had handed to him when he saw the carriage to Zuo Xi, and Zuo Xi sent the hand stove to Eleven's hand. Said to Zuo Xi with an expression and tone that I was so moved, "Sister, you are so kind to me."

hehe~

Ignoring Youcha's eleventh, Zuo Xi turned around and looked at Daiyu who was already holding her younger brother's hand and standing side by side with Miaoyu.

Seeing Zuo Xi looking over, Miaoyu and Daiyu saluted Eleven obediently and sensiblely.What surprised Daiyu was Miaoyu's name for Eleven.

He didn't call Eleven Master like Daiyu, but called Eleven 'Uncle'.Daiyu was a little confused, but she lowered her eyes indistinctly.

"You don't need to be too polite, just treat this as your own home. If you want to eat or use anything, just ask someone to take it. If Fujin is not free for a while, it's the same with Miao girl." Eleven looked Daiyu up and down, Some people can't figure out how this little girl can compare to him in movies, but Zuo Xi is so caring.For Zuo Xi's pen pals, Eleven is more open-minded, but for Daiyu, the tenth alarm has been sounded on Eleven, and there are no less than seventeen or eight strategies for competing for favor.Right now, I just met Eleven and I'm already planning to have a small one.

"I'm weak and need to rest, but I'm always not as strong as you are born. Fujin likes to be lively, and I trouble you to chat and laugh with her a few times every day. When she is happy, I am also happy to see it."

Miaoyu closed her eyes deeply ashamed, but Daiyu was a little stunned and forgot to respond.

I didn't expect you to be such an eleventh master.

Seeing this, Zuo Xi also had a helpless expression on his face. He looked at Shi Shi, and then at Dai Yu. He couldn't help but admire Shi Shi.

He was probably the first person to say that Sister Lin was born strong.

╮(╯▽╰)╭

"This is Brother Xuan?" After making tea at the door, Eleven's eyes fell on Little Brother Lin. Little Brother Lin was well-raised by Daiyu. Well, it's enough to be liked if it's tidy.

Lin Xiaobaozi was taught by his sister how to meet each other, when Eleven smiled and said "Brother Xuan", Lin Xiaobaozi followed the rules taught by his sister, and raised his hands to Eleven as if he wanted to salute.

A girl put a futon in front of Xiao Baozi Lin, and the little bun knelt down on it with a plop, but he kowtowed cutely to Eleven, and said hello in a milky way, "Lin Xuan to Eleven My Lord, I wish you well. The Eleventh Lord is in good health."

"Tian Guo, go and help this child up." Eleven, who knows Zuo Xi and knows that Lin Xiaobaozi is not a threat of competing for favor, is very friendly and gentle. Hao Nuanyu handed it to Xiao Baozi as a meeting gift.

Little Baozi turned to look at his sister, then took Nuanyu with both hands, thanked Shiyi, and then got up from the futon.

For a while, everyone entered the gate of the other courtyard.Eleven thoughtfully and magnanimously asked Zuo Xi to lead Daiyu to settle down, then smiled and urged Zuo Xi to leave him alone, while standing in the wind like looking at his wife and stone, watching Zuo Xi leave eagerly.

As the autumn wind blew, Zuo Xi couldn't help shivering, and then pulled Daiyu away quickly.

Does this man have to have trouble with tea?

After a bit of slander, Zuo Xi and the others went to Dianjiang Terrace, the yard prepared for Daiyu's siblings.

Dianjiang Terrace is naturally an excellent courtyard, and Zuo Xi asked someone to arrange it according to Daiyu's preferences in advance.Except for some brightly colored objects, even if Daiyu's siblings don't have to observe filial piety, they won't break the rules when they live here.Leading Daiyu around inside and outside the house, Zuo Xi asked the maids to set up and salute, then took Daiyu to the east chamber where the hot spring water was drawn, and told Daiyu about the benefits of soaking in hot springs and the benefits of hot spring eggs. smell.

She not only introduced, but also asked someone to fetch the eggs.

While hanging the eggs by the string of the net bag, he did not forget to tell Daiyu, "Brother Xuan is still young, don't tell him to slip into the pool. The other courtyard is also big, and children are so naughty when they play like crazy. Keep some people around, and you must not let him go alone. My son asked someone to pick four young eunuchs, all of whom are only two or three years older than Brother Xuan. It is okay to stay in your yard to serve. I I also asked someone to make a batch of bamboo whistles, and I took one with me, and I blow the whistle when I have something to do."

After giving orders, Zuo Xi took Daiyu to Miaoyu's place as a guest again, had refreshments at Miaoyu's place, and Daiyu's room was also cleaned up, fearing that Daiyu would be uncomfortable, Zuo Xi didn't give Daiyu any more. What kind of reception banquet was held, but a daughter-in-law from the stove in the other courtyard was called, and she came to report the menu every morning, noon and evening, and Daiyu ordered.Usually, if you want to eat something, you can just send the girl to the stove to post a message.The small kitchen in the courtyard is erected.Before coming here, he also said that he would ask Daiyu to start a business by herself, but as the days passed, she didn't give Daiyu a chance to start a business by herself.

The rules in the Bieyuan and Baylor House in the capital are similar, except for a fixed menu, the kitchen will also buy the freshest ingredients according to Zuo Xi's request.Every morning, when I bought something, I would come over to talk to Zuo Xi and Shiyi before and after breakfast, and Zuo Xi and the others would order according to the ingredients.If there is anything you want to eat, just ask them to go to Zhangluo.

A lot of people buy it all at once regardless of whether the master likes it or not, whether or not a meal can hold so much.Extremely extravagant and wasteful, spoiling food.Some selfish servants even used the guise of asking the master to eat well, and took home some ingredients that the master did not eat, or did not have time to cook.

In addition, some masters thought that it would be better to give food to the servants of the mansion than to throw away the moldy things.So some servants would buy more ingredients that they couldn't hold back for themselves.

The master and the servants eat together, in fact, there are many disadvantages.After Zuo Xi discovered this problem, he divided the kitchen directly.The cooks for the master's house and the kitchens for the servants are directly divided into kitchens and accounts. After a long time, the rules have been established.

At this moment, just as Zuo Xi led the people away, a well-groomed daughter-in-law on the stove came to the stage, said hello to Daiyu respectfully, and said her identity, and then spoke to Daiyu frankly I talked about what dry goods are available in the mansion, what fresh ingredients I bought today, and what dishes I can cook.After Daiyu ordered the menu for dinner, the daughter-in-law told Daiyu that Zuo Xi told her sister and younger brother to drink tea sooner or later, and asked Daiyu if she wanted to drink pure tea or sugar, or with almonds, fruit, etc. Dried, crushed peanuts.

Then before the daughter-in-law withdrew, she told Daiyu to ask Daiyu about her breakfast arrangements when she brought her dinner.

After listening to Daiyu, she ordered the big girl Danqing to give a reward, but she didn't want to be popularized by the girl arranged by Zuo Xi.

"So that the girl knows, there is a rule in our house. Except for Fujin, each master has ten engraved plaques every month. If the master is satisfied, he will reward the plaques. At the end of the month, when the servants who got the plaques go to pay the monthly bills Get the reward together." The errands in the mansion are easy and decent, the master is good to serve and doesn't rub people, as long as you work hard, the rewards will not be less. "Summarized every quarter, whoever gets the most brands will also be rewarded..."

Daiyu didn't want to have such a rule, and was puzzled when she saw Yinger bring a few new books.

"This is three hundred thousand in Mongolian. Fujin asked the girl to send 'enlightenment'."

Daiyu, Ying'er and Wen Xing are very close friends, and they couldn't help joking when they met, and they might as well talk about the rules set by Zuo Xi.

Ying'er glanced at the waiters in the room, then whispered three words in Daiyu's ear, "Rongguo Mansion"

Daiyu nodded understandingly, expressing that she understood.Seeing this, Ying'er said a few more words before leaving.

Because of Zuo Xi's thoughtful and meticulous thinking, Daiyu soon took her younger brother and settled down here in the other courtyard.Miaoyu didn't return to Hongye Town because of Daiyu's visit to Xiaotangshan.As a company with Daiyu, I often dragged Daiyu around in the other courtyard to recite a few poems and words that Zuo Xi had a headache listening to.

Two years ago, Zuo Xi paid out the money, built a courtyard not far from Xuejiazhuangzi, and hired someone to read to the children in the nearby village.

Brother Lin came to Xiaotangshan. Every morning after breakfast, he would go there for half a day of class and return to the other courtyard for lunch at noon.After taking a nap, go to Eleven to learn textbook knowledge or Mongolian in depth for an hour.For the rest of the time, Daiyu and Miaoyu, two sisters who are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, will give Lin Xiaodi artistic influence.

As for Zuo Xi, on the bright side, Zuo Xi asked Daiyu and Miaoyu to learn housekeeping as an excuse to ask these two girls to take care of all kinds of gifts and exchanges between the other courtyard and Baylor's mansion, and to make expenses.In fact, as the shopkeeper, she put all her thoughts on how to take her family out of the house for a walk on November.

During this period, because Mrs. Xue was pregnant with a baby, Zuo Xi also went to Hongye Town twice.The first trip was with Miaoyu and Daiyu, and the second trip was with only Shiyi.

According to eleven words, a bowl of water should be leveled.

Time unknowingly came to mid-October.Before the gold festival, he went back to the palace today, and even brought Yifei and his sisters back.So Zuo Xi couldn't hide his secret joy on Eleven, leaving Daiyu behind, and took Eleven back to the capital alone for the Golden Festival.

The Golden Festival is a festival that the Manchu people attach great importance to. After breakfast, Zuo Xi and Shi Shi changed into court clothes and entered the palace in a carriage.

Festivals like this have established rules and procedures. As long as you follow the rules and procedures and follow the trend, it is difficult to make mistakes.

After finishing the festive process, Zuo Xi and Shi Shi went to the palace banquet respectively.On Eleven's side, he still had to maintain the coquettish persona, and he withdrew within a quarter of an hour after the banquet started.

Eleventh insisted on participating in the entire celebration, and only withdrew at the palace banquet. Lao Kangtou was already very satisfied with his son.So like the previous few times, Lao Kangtou calmly accepted the early departure on the eleventh.

On the side of the women's family, because Zuo Xi had laid a good foundation earlier, no matter whether it was the concubines, sisters-in-law or elders in the palace, no one would take the initiative to provoke Zuo Xi. On the news of leaving the banquet on Eleventh, she got up and went to talk to Concubine Yi, and also left early.

After the Golden Festival, it is Laba, Xiaonian and New Year's Eve.Sitting in the carriage back to Baylor's Mansion, Eleven also told Zuo Xi that there would be palace banquets in these few days, and the other side said that it was the most difficult and difficult days on New Year's Eve.

It's cold, the food is already cold, and the palace banquet is held in the main hall with open doors. Except for the cold dishes, the other hot dishes are completely cold, and there is a thick layer of white grease on them, which makes people look There is no appetite at all.Back at Baylor's Mansion, the two ate the hot food prepared on the stove, took a hot bath, talked head to head with some sweet words between lovers, and then embraced and fell asleep.

The next day, Eleven and Zuo Xi entered the palace again to greet Yifei and sisters.After a meal at the Yikun Palace Xiaozao in the palace, he took the tribute that Lao Kangtou gave to Yifei and sisters and left the palace in the next afternoon.

Eleven dragged Zuo Xi to live in Baylor's Mansion for a few days, until today he drove to Changchun Garden again, and when the Qing Dynasty sent troops to conquer Zhungeer, he returned to Xiaotangshan in a carriage.

Xue Pan's banner camp was impressively on the list for this expedition. Aunt Xue heard that her son was going to take thousands of people under her command to fight, so she panicked and sent Zuo Xi a message.

Xue Pan didn't get any military promotion in the past two years, and he is still a thousand households of the fifth rank.This time, Xue Pan went west with the intention of making another military contribution to Zhungeer.Seeing his pregnant daughter-in-law, Xue Pan scratched his head, regretting that he could not see his son born, but also looking forward to earning military service and making his son proud of him.

Zuo Xi and Shi Shi arrived at Hongye Town at this time.

In addition to telling Xue Pan to pay attention to safety, don't be reckless and impulsive.To obey the military order, listen to Zhou Yun's opinions more, that is, hand over the accompanying items they prepared for Xue Pan.

There are all kinds of medicinal materials and patent medicines, knee protectors and wrist guards, breast protectors bought at a high price, some dried meat, fried noodles, and various nutritious and filling foods.

In addition, Zuo Xi handed two aged ginseng, two bottles of Yunnan Baiyao and hemostatic powder to Zhou Yun on his back, "Your and my brother's."

On October [-], the army set off.The next day, Aunt Xue and Sister Xue went back to live in Zhuangzi under Xiaotang Mountain.As soon as the two came back, Miaoyu and Daiyu took Lin Xiaodi and moved to Xuejiazhuangzi to live.

Without him, anyone who is teased and teased by others every day has to run wildly and hide far away.

Of course, Zuo Xi can't escape~

Since getting married, Eleven has been in good health.I have fewer illnesses, eat more, and combine sports and entertainment. It seems that this winter is a healthy baby again.Just when everyone was happy for Eleventh, he suffered from his old illness again.

Fortunately, it's not serious, but it will be healed in half a month, but all the fat raised before has fallen off.So throughout the winter, Zuo Xi took the eleven nests in Xiaotangshan to make various supplements, and even the rule of going to Changchun Garden to pay respects to Lao Kangtou and Yifei sisters was put on hold.

On the seventh day of the winter month, Shi Xiangyun, who was about to get married, came to Xiaotangshan in person.While presenting the wedding invitation with both hands, the news that Wang Xiluan, the daughter of Wang Ziteng, Sister Feng's cousin, and Zuo Xi's cousin, was withdrawn by her husband's family also reached Zuo Xi's ears.
