[Red Chamber] Jagged Lin Daiyu
Chapter 90
"Doesn't matter if you are within three feet of the study?" Fourth Sister Wen sneered, and she became more and more suspicious that he was doing something indescribable with the mirror.Regardless of the two apprentices who did not return home at night and were dating men, they strode straight to the study.
However, he didn't dare to rush in directly, and when he reached the door, he faltered: "Brother, brother, I have something to ask you."
Zhuo Donglai's voice in the study was still cold and reserved: "Ze Lan? You,, come in."
Fourth Sister Wen rushed into the room, and when she saw him sitting calmly behind the table and gently putting down the pen in her hand, she couldn't help laughing, slammed the door behind her back, rushed behind the table, hugged him and kissed him Take a sip: "Wow~ I miss you~"
"You are so cute." The ice on Zhuo Donglai's face melted a little, and he smiled and said, "Aren't you happy in the palace?"
He is a person with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, and his beard must always be clean-shaven, and the remaining beard must be trimmed daily according to the length and shape of the years.No matter when you wear a little purple, clothes should be stacked in different boxes according to different materials and lengths according to the map. Jade pendants are sorted by size, belts are separated by metal buckles and jade, and they are still sorted by width. There must always be a half-full bottle of wine in the bottle, and the cloak you wear when you go out needs to be washed three times.
All the books in the study room should be sorted according to the rhyme of the first word, and it is impossible to miss a single one. All the newspapers sent should be sorted according to the "Ten Dao of the World (Guannei Road, Henan Road, Hedong Road, Hebei Road, Shannan Road, Longyou Road, Huainan Road, Jiangnan Road, Jiannan Road, Lingnan Road)' to be stacked separately, and the most important ones are placed on top.There are four trays on the table, and there are four categories of 'haven't read', 'useless after reading', 'to be dealt with' and 'attention' respectively.The subordinates complained a lot at first, but later they also got used to paying attention to the appearance and the ordering of reports.
Now the table is in a mess, stacks of papers are stacked on stacks of papers, and the messy flies have nowhere to land.
Fourth Sister Wen put her arms around his neck: "Why can't you be unhappy? I don't go to see those people who I have to bow my head to be polite. It's good to study new dishes in the imperial dining room and chat with Yao Sanlang. It's just that I want to see you, and I want to hug you."
Zhuo Donglai smiled, the black eyes were a little obvious, he hugged her: "Well, I miss you too."
"Brother, do you still have time to miss me?"
"Take time out of your busy schedule to think about it. I am very busy, and I only think of you when I eat, sleep and drink water."
Fourth Sister Wen's heart is about to melt, that's already all your rest time, she smirked: "Hey~ Xiang Baozi's book hasn't been finished yet for sale, and Jing Huan can't see it at all, why is brother calling me into the palace in such a hurry , Is there anything inconvenient for me to know?"
Zhuo Dong looked at her for a while, then smiled lightly: "No, it's just that I don't have time to accompany you, and I don't want you to feel left out."
Fourth Sister Wen slightly raised her eyebrows, doubtful, and said that you were so busy that you would go crazy, and sometimes you would ignore me for ten days and a half months. At that time, you would let me go to the kitchen to play happily, experimenting with various new dishes every day. You eat, why not now?She glanced at the table with a smile: "What are you busy with now?"
Zhuo Donglai put his hands on her waist, and said softly: "You want to know? Sit down and explain to you in detail."
"Okay, okay." The little silly girl happily agreed.
Zhuo Donglai casually took a stack of papers: "This is the inner court. It can be selected from the roster of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The list of suspicious personnel, um." The birthplaces, addresses, addresses of foreign residences, relationships, and the number of bribes of the sixteen officials who opposed the thorough investigation of my father-in-law’s injustice, and the reasons for their opposition.”
He paused: "I'm currently busy with these two things."
Fourth Sister Wen didn't believe it, and raised her hand to touch his dark circles: "Brother, with your ingenuity, these two things will make you so tired?"
Zhuo Donglai's face darkened slightly, and he habitually began to analyze in his heart: She felt that I hadn't told the truth, and even concealed some things, why would she think so?She wants to know what I'm doing.
Strangely, the cutest thing about Zelan is that she is stupid but sensible, and she doesn't ask about things she doesn't understand, so that I don't have to spend a long time explaining what I still don't understand.Why did she start to be curious?Is it because of marriage, or did someone say something?
He laughed and said: "It's easy to say, but it's not so easy in reality. Although there are no three thousand maids in the palace, the total number of maids, eunuchs, servants, and bodyguards is close to 2000. Suspicious people will not be exposed on the outside. Whether there is any eyeliner in the palace, we can only start from the minutiae, on the one hand, thoroughly investigate whether these people have suddenly become rich or died in their homes outside the palace, on the other hand, first study who can be bribed, and then let these people who have been bribed by me provide information Who is suspicious of surveillance."
"Ah...are there so many people in the palace? I always thought there were only a few hundred people." Fourth Sister Wen kissed him: "It's really a huge project, but you have to take care of your health. Look at your dark circles. You have a small waist, your waist is thinner than mine, you must have forgotten to eat again." Touching his waist, he kneaded it reluctantly.
Zhuo Donglai patted her hand off: "Ze Lan, don't make trouble, it will take three months."
"What?"
"...It's fine if you don't understand, you will naturally understand when the time comes."
"(⊙o⊙) Oh?" Fourth Sister Wen tried her best to control her state, and said softly: "Let's put aside my father's business, since you are busy, don't rush to do it together, don't tire yourself out died."
Being a widow right after I got married and my father and mother have been dead since I was a child, I feel that others will say that I have a hard character.
"It doesn't matter, Qin Zhongyu's new official has three fires, and this is the right place to start." Zhuo Donglai pinched her fleshy ears, and said happily: "Everyone knows that Lord Qin is very indignant at the death of General Wen, and has repeatedly written letters, If he is transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and does not retry the case, the world will say that he is trying to gain fame and supplement his reputation with heroism, which will not be good for anyone."
Fourth Sister Wen was puzzled: "You have already collected a lot of evidence, which is enough. Since Mr. Qin intends to retrial, and he is the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, you can just give him the evidence. What are you up to?"
"He is the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, one level lower than Shangshu." Zhuo Donglai continued to pinch her fleshy earlobe, and said happily, "I am giving a dowry to my father-in-law~"
Fourth Sister Wen blushed: "You helped me kill Huang Jinlang, wasn't it a gift for my father?"
Dowry or something, so embarrassing.
He thought to himself, I might as well explain it to Zelan, she is a little too naive. "You have to know that there was a huge problem with the process at that time. Huang Jinlang falsely accused the border guards. The court should have sent people to thoroughly investigate the authenticity. The officials did not review it carefully. I checked these days, and many people have died, but there are also some people who have been implicated in it, and those who benefited from it are still in the officialdom, old and strong."
Fourth Sister Wen nodded slightly: "I know, after careful calculation, this matter has affected half of the officialdom, including the current prime minister, but what's the use of knowing, I can't kill them all, then we won't have a foothold place."
Murder is a kind of thing that is full of losses, but modesty benefits~
Zhuo Donglai chuckled lightly and said, "If all the officials implicated in it were killed at once, it would of course raise people's vigilance and make the emperor and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty afraid. However, I am not going to kill them all at once. Every few years, use Different reasons and excuses. Some officials are imprisoned, some officials are implicated and relegated, and some officials die unfortunately. Isn’t that interesting? It is normal for officials to die for these reasons.”
Fourth Sister Wen felt a chill out of thin air, not the coldness of late autumn, but a chilling feeling, and hugged him to keep warm: "Brother~ I didn't know you had done so many things."
"Hehe." Zhuo Donglai wanted to mock her for running away for several years, but he was afraid that she would be sad or angry, so he laughed and said, "Although you don't know, my father-in-law receives gifts from me every year, and there is no way to reciprocate them. If not, promise you to me."
Fourth Sister Wen curled her lips arrogantly: "Hmph, I like you, so I don't need his permission."
While talking, he buried his head in his neck: "Brother, you are so kind~ muma~ What I told you, you must have taken the Fengyue Baojian, the person who dared to go to your bedroom to steal things is not yet born It’s already been hacked to death, don’t use that thing, Yao Sanlang said (omit the content of the previous chapter).”
Zhuo Donglai nodded, and said calmly: "Okay." Yao Shenxian is quite capable of fooling people.
Fourth Sister Wen looked at him in surprise: "Did you already know that something was wrong with the mirror? Yao Sanlang told you?"
Zhuo Donglai sighed softly: "When there was a goblin who was your enemy, you inexplicably got a mirror that can see illusions. Do you need others to say more? Of course there is a big problem. At that time, you led the way in a strange way. I went to sell my sheep and exchanged them for a mirror with a mysterious origin, and then I didn’t eat for three days. When I heard my subordinates report these things, I knew that the mirror was dangerous.”
The mystery of the ages, I have taught her for so many years, why is Zelan still shrewd in other people's affairs, but stupid when it comes to her own affairs?
Fourth Sister Wen remembered the origin of that mirror, (⊙o⊙) ah!Looking at him intently: "I always thought that there were only people sent by Lianrong outside my house."
Zhuo Donglai smiled: "That's my man." Even Lian Rong didn't know~╮(╯▽╰)╭
"Okay, you go back, I still have a lot of things to do. I'll be free in two days, and I'll stop by to see you when I go to meet the emperor."
"Well~I want to kiss~" Fourth Sister Wen got it, she simply got up and left, walked to the door and turned around again: "Don't take out the Fengyue Baojian just because you miss me."
Zhuo Donglai looked at her expressionlessly: "I'm too busy to have time."
Fourth Sister Wen chuckled: "I'm still worried, you give me the mirror, I'll take it to Yao Sanlang and let him deal with it."
Zhuo Donglai just picked up the pen and put it down again, and said calmly: "Although he is good, you don't need to rely on him for everything."
"No, I'm obviously very dependent on you."
Zhuo Donglai pointed to the foot of Fourth Sister Wen: "Turn off the carpet and the floor tiles, the mirror is there. You take it out, find a goldsmith with a tip, give him 200 taels of silver, and call him Find a way to get the mirror into the hands of the second master Bao of Rongguo Mansion. Promise him that there will be 200 taels of silver after the job is completed. If it fails, return the silver and the mirror. , Don’t blame me for attacking (resentment), let him read some tricks (be blind).”
Jinjin: This kind of business is the most difficult to do in the field of Jindian.First, the face-to-face gentleman should be handsome and imposing. Based on that person's appearance, and then "hanging a fire shirt", that is to say, he is dressed luxuriously, and he can scare people by standing on the ground. pressure point.The meaning of this is that just like the characters in an opera, there must be a typhoon to warn people.The second is to have a clean plate (that is, the ability of lips and teeth).The third is to have "Tang'er" (that is, to have a voice).
Choujian: People in the Jianghu tease that they can really read photobooks, divination and other books and call them Choujian.
Fourth Sister Wen lifted the carpet and floor tiles, saw something buried in the soil, ran to the side and picked up a pickaxe, frowned: "I'm afraid it's not good for Yuan Nian'er. It's not on time." Yuan Nian'er: Attract the target .
Zhuo Donglai smiled lightly: "What's the matter with you?" You are stupid, they can get the money if they can, but they can't change people!
Fourth Sister Wen dug things out of the soil, suddenly became interested, and rubbed her chin: "Why don't I go for a walk? Recently, Daiyu also talked about them, and Yao Sanlang also talked about them, and I saw Rongguo Mansion again from you. It shouldn’t be difficult to deceive them for a while.”
Zhuo Donglai's face darkened: "Don't go! You are a person of status now, not as poor as Shui Mazi (poor) in the past, and now most of the people I associate with are officials and dignitaries. You have been to Rongguo Mansion again, don't let people recognize you. Lan, if you are bored, you can go home and have a banquet, and invite some ladies of your status to socialize."
Fourth Sister Wen immediately bowed her head to be obedient, and wrapped the mirror with a handkerchief: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely find someone who can handle the matter well." Communication and so on, although I know there will be a day when I can't escape, but now forget it~
Zhuo Donglai snorted softly and let her go.Hmph, I can pick out one thing to scare her~ She forgot to ask me why I sent Fengyue Baojian to Rongguo Mansion, I was not happy to show off my plan.
Plan: If Jia Baoyu and Princess Xuanzhen really have some fate, he will see Daiyu in the mirror, and after a long time, people will know.At the same time, the person Jing Huan cares about can be used to test whether the mirror is harmful. If Jing Huan comes to take away the mirror as soon as it is in Baoyu's hands, it means that the mirror is very harmful, otherwise it is harmless.If the mirror is harmful, and Jing Huan is afraid of Yao Sanlang and his teacher, then it can be tested to find out how harmful it is!At the same time, it proves that Jing Huan has given up.
After all, Fourth Sister Wen was a well-known person, and she also had some knowledge in the world.
I went to the area where the physicists gather, and soon I saw a very suitable one (handsome, with real skills, but not good character).
Just about to strike up a conversation and discuss this hot business (rich business).
Suddenly, Taoist Bilu was holding seven or eight paper bags, exuding a hot and seductive fragrance all over his body, his thin lips were a little red and swollen for unknown reasons, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red, as if he had cried, "Fourth Sister Wen?"
Fourth Sister Wen was surprised: "Why did the Taoist priest come here? The Taoist priest smells so good, do you want to eat the pot?"
Taoist Bilu was overjoyed: "Eat it! I love spicy pots the most."
Fourth Sister Wen pointed out: "My apprentice's house is not far from here, how about a favor from the Taoist priest?"
Taoist Bilu wasn't quite sure what it meant to give him a face: "Do you want to treat me to hot pot? That's great~"
Then the two of them happily smelled the smell with a lot of peppers in their hands, and the other carried a magic mirror, and walked side by side to a place where the stove could be borrowed - Laotan pickle shop.
Fourth Sister Wen went into the store, slapped the counter, and said in a deep voice, "Tell your shopkeepers to come out!"
An old man in his 40s yelled and ran to the back of the house in a frenzy: "Ah! No! The shopkeeper! The shopkeeper, come quickly! Your master is here!"
The aunt who came to buy pickles looked at Fourth Sister Wen expressionlessly: "You and that guy are the most boring people I've ever seen in my life."
Taoist Bilu was a little frightened at first, and didn't know what she was going to do. Hearing what the man said, he couldn't help laughing: "It's so interesting!"
The aunt gave him a disdainful look, she was too handsome to despise, so she left with pickles.
Two beautiful women came out hand in hand, shaking their heads helplessly: "Master, your friend has the same weird smile as you."
"Ahahaha, otherwise, could he be my friend?" Fourth Sister Wen went around the counter, walked to the back kitchen with ease, took out a piece of silver and threw it over: "I suddenly want to eat hot pot, so I went to buy mutton rolls, fish balls and other dishes. Come. Let me borrow your stove."
"Go and buy vegetables~" Lianrong ordered, looking at the beautiful young Taoist priest: "Master, if you want to eat hot pot, it must be related to this Taoist priest." The smell made me hungry.
Yun'er smiled and asked: "It seems that the Taoist priest just finished eating hot pot, and he wants to have another meal? Aren't you afraid of feeling uncomfortable afterwards?"
Taoist Bilu didn't dare to look at these two beautiful women and could only look at the pickle jar: "Xiaodao just ate the big pancake roll with hot sauce."
Spread the pancakes on top of the pancakes, dip the dough pancakes into it, cut the small pancakes and eat them in between. It’s delicious no matter what you eat~ There are diced meat in the hot sauce that Yunqi bought for me~
Yun'er giggled coquettishly, and shouted to the kitchen: "Master, give us some stir-fry as well, we both want to eat tonight."
Taoist Bilu heard that she wanted to seriously fry the hot pot base, so he hurried over to discuss with her the preparation and dosage of spices in the hot pot.
Fourth Sister Wen said: "You love spicy food so much, and you live so long, why can't you cook?"
Taoist Bilu blinked, and tears rolled down: "Five colors make people blind, five tones make people deaf, five flavors make people happy, galloping in the wild hunts makes people mad, and hard-to-find goods make people lose their way. It is the sage's stomach and eyes, So go and pick this. I have eaten dishes with clear soup and little water for many years."
Backing away while crying: "Okay, it's too hot to take hot peppers for hot pot." Sobbing.
The lotus seed paste is used to make vermicelli, and the cook is asked to choose various vegetables in the kitchen, and cut radishes and bamboo shoots.
Yun'er took out all kinds of seasonings, chose them, and put them in a bowl, and put them all at the master's hand.
Seeing the hard work of the two apprentices, Fourth Sister Wen burst into tears: "It's really too hot. I didn't know how to cry before. I haven't done it for a few days, and my skills have regressed."
The two beauties huddled together smiling and ran away.
Taoist Bilu quickly adjusted his posture, stuffed a bunch of hot peppers he had just bought into his sleeves, protected his face with the three flowers on top, and stood calmly and gracefully beside the thick and wanton hot pot ingredients that were emitting green smoke : "You have a demonic aura on your body, and you are wearing a beauty curse."
Fourth Sister Wen waved the mirror: "Is that the evil spirit?"
"Correct."
Fourth Sister Wen asked: "Master Taoist, do you have any taboos when eating hot pot? For example, can you eat things like beef louvers, pork liver, and duck intestines?"
"Normally you can't eat it." Taoist Bilu chuckled happily, "But don't tell me what it is, it's fine~"
Fourth Sister Wen: "Hahahaha, okay, I won't tell you anything!" She continued to stir-fry the bottom ingredients, guessing that the wine and fermented soybeans were about to be added, when she suddenly remembered: "Hey? Didn't you grow a lot of things yourself? Why? Didn’t grow chili? Master won’t let me?”
Taoist Bilu said sadly: "Oh, it's a long story. A few years ago I retreated once, about ten years or so. Before I retreated, I entrusted the vegetable garden to a senior brother. I planted some of each kind every year, as long as the seeds can continue. He was lazy and only planted it once a few years after harvesting the seeds, but unfortunately, someone made barbecue and took all the peppers left over to grind and eat."
…………
Interjection.Yesterday afternoon, Xue Pan was limping and got a little dust on his body, but luckily Chen Xiang couldn't see the dust.Bringing the 'beauty in red' home with a smirk on his face, Xue Baochai was shocked when he saw it: "Brother, why are you injured? Fortunately, mother is not here, go and clean up."
Xue Pan said embarrassingly, "I accidentally dropped it."
Baochai didn't quite believe it, so she sat down with her master in the house and asked, "Master, did you really not hit my brother?"
Peony suppressed a smile and looked at the little apprentice, pouted: "How do you think he fell down?"
Baochai thought for a while: "Master, you secretly gave her a split palm, or a sweeping leg, and then my brother fell down."
Murong Mudan gave her a big roll of the eyes: "He didn't stand still, leaned on the horse pretending to be coquettish, and the horse ran away."
Baochai said very seriously: "My brother has a nickname of Daibawang, but this is no longer Dumb."
Murong Mudan laughed loudly: "Go and ask him!"
Baochai stood up and was going to ask, but after thinking about it for a while, she felt that it was wrong, so she smoothed things over: "Master, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this matter is too unbelievable."
Murong Mudan wiped away tears with a smile: "I also find it incredible, hahahaha."
Before he finished his cup of tea, Baochai came back with a heavy face: "My brother didn't admit it, but I can tell it's true."
Peony: "Hahahahahahaha"
Baochai asked leisurely: "Master, can I let my brother join your sect?"
Peony hasn't laughed enough yet: "Hahahahaha no way!"
Baochai blinked and seduced her: "Master and apprentice are like father and son. If my elder brother worships under your sect and becomes my junior apprentice, he will not dare to speak ill of you again. Besides, it is natural for a master to teach his apprentice. If my elder brother becomes a master Your disciple, you can fight whatever you want."
Peony showed an expression of great anticipation that was almost impossible to refuse, and hesitated for a long time: "Well, but he is not good-looking."
Baochai hastened to persuade Master persistently: "He is just too fat now and lacks education.
Didn't you see when he was young, when my elder brother was young, he looked like a pair of sisters when he stood with me on a lotus face and a willow waist. "
Mudan thought for a while: "Forget it, let's not mention him for now. Baochai, give me a punch and let me see. Have you been lazy lately?"
Eat after punching, chat after eating, and sleep after chatting.
Baochai did not hesitate to pester her master to stay and sleep with her so that her elder brother could become a teacher.
Mudan also stayed. Originally, there was a bachelor Xiang Baozi waiting for her at home, but now Xiang Baozi and Mr. Qin are very happy, and I am still alone.Seeing that I was about to fall into the same situation as my master back then, I didn't have a brother who was willing to love me secretly for many years, and then tried every means to marry me, so distressed.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Xue questioned whether Murong Peony is so young and so beautiful, can she really teach her apprentice well?Then she watched Xue Pan being taken into the yard by Xue Baochai and beaten up, unilaterally. Although the attack was not harsh, it looked very bluffing.In order to prove that the beautiful sister in red can be my master, Xue Pan yelled miserably and wailed.
Murong Mudan chuckled lightly and said, "What does Mrs. Xue think?"
Mrs. Xue took her hand: "Girl, where do you live? Who is there in the family? Have you made an engagement?"
When I marry a daughter-in-law, I don’t care whether I have money or not. There are only two requirements. First, treat Baochai well. My daughter-in-law and sister-in-law have never dealt with each other. When I was a sister-in-law, I opposed my sister-in-law. Half dead, I don't want Baochai to suffer too.Second, if he can control Pan'er, he will be like this for the rest of his life. Don't expect him to have any great abilities, as long as he can live a stable life without committing crimes!
Murong Mudan was stunned, and the two who cheated each other in a ball in the yard were also stunned.
Mrs. Xue has already observed her speech and behavior: Although she is not ladylike enough, she does not have the air of a village. Seeing the aura of wealth and nobility in this room, gold, jade and antiques do not stare straight at her.Although wearing bright red is too gorgeous, she doesn't wear any hairpin jewelry on her head or hands, doesn't wear flowers, doesn't wear powder on her face, and has a plain face that doesn't hide her national color. She seems poor, but the material of the red dress is very good.Although he often showed his face in public, he didn't look frivolous. He stood like a pine and sat like a bell, and repeatedly refused to accept a young man as an apprentice.
Holding her hand felt a little rough, either because of holding a knife, or because she usually works at home and is a hardworking person.Although he looks glamorous, how could he win Xue Pan's heart otherwise, that silly boy stretched his neck like a wooden goose, what a shame!Why do I have such a stupid son, if you really worship her as your teacher, you won't be able to catch her!
Mrs. Xue smiled very kindly: "Oh, you look so beautiful, but your hands are so thick, you must have suffered a lot. Girls should be raised with gold and jade. Look at Baochai, every day Clothes are stretched out, hands are eaten, mouths are opened, playing the piano, reading books, or writing and embroidering, and now I have added martial arts, how comfortable. Listen to me, the Xue family has been an emperor for generations..."
Although Pan'er has changed his mind and started a new life now, there is no guarantee that his old ways will germinate that day. It is better to hire someone who can manage him.
No wealthy family in Jinling City is willing to marry their daughter to Pan'er. Now there may be some people in the capital who are willing, but there is a storm in the capital. Yesterday there may be high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and tomorrow all families may be imprisoned.I also looked at the girls of Jia's family, but they were not satisfied. Since the stupid son is staring at her, why not ask her about her family's background.If you marry me, you can manage the house, teach my son martial arts, and discipline him well. Wouldn't it kill three birds with one stone?
Murong Mudan yelled: "It's time to stop!" She stood up and ran away.
The Xue family siblings were interrogated by their mother for two hours about her details.
…………
Xiang Baozi and Qin Zhongyu finished writing together.
Qin Zhongyu asked her to go out to the theater, but was mercilessly rejected.
Holding the manuscript, she cheerfully went to find her master, leaving behind Qin Zhongyu who was puzzled.
Qin Zhongyu was puzzled: "Am I not handsome? Although I am not handsome, I have good facial features and a face of righteousness.
Am I poor?Although I am poor, I am in a high position at a young age, so it should be said that I have a bright future.
Am I boring?Just made her laugh non-stop.
Could it be that the family style is strict and they are not allowed to go out to watch theaters with men?Don't be ridiculous, no one cares about the peony girl riding alone for thousands of miles. "
At the same time, Xiang Baozi presented the manuscript tremblingly, and asked shyly, "Master, Ajaan asked me to go out to the theater."
Zhuo Donglai flipped through the book: "Go."
Xiang Baozi lowered his head: "I'm too fat, and he's also a man of distinction, what if others laugh at him?"
Zhuo Donglai thought to himself: He himself is not afraid of losing face, what are you afraid of?On second thought, no.Then he took a sip of wine lazily, and continued to flip through the book: "Losing weight." You can eat four times the amount of mine in one meal, so it's no wonder you're not fat.
Xiang Baozi counted on his fingers: "I tried to lose weight by eating only watermelon in summer, and eating only radishes and boiled cabbage in winter. Every time I passed out, and I didn't lose weight at all. I have never been lazy in practicing martial arts every day..."
Zhuo Donglai frowned and looked at her: "You are so stupid. How is Mudan's figure?"
Xiang Baozi sighed: "I am Baozi, and she is chopsticks."
Zhuo Donglai snorted and said, "If you want to be as thin as her, then you can eat whatever she eats, and you can eat as much as she eats, not too much. She practices martial arts every day, so you can practice martial arts with her." .Close-to-hand combat and light skills are your weaknesses."
Xiang Baozi said in a low voice: "Senior sister eats a lot."
"Hehe. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I ate half a crab. Zelan licked a crab leg. Lianrong and Yun'er each ate one, Mudan ate two, and the remaining ten you ate for two hours." It's all eaten up."
Xiang Baozi ran to the side by himself to recall the difference in appetite between himself and his senior sister.The more I think about it, the more I feel ashamed. Although I always finish eating with my senior sister, she chews thirty times in one bite, which is enough for me to eat four or five bites.
After reading the book, Zhuo Donglai called out, "Come here!"
A servant ran in from outside the door: "My lord, please order."
"Ask Sun Liang to send this box to the bookstore, and immediately arrange for workers to typeset and print the book. Within two days, I will see this book go on sale in the capital."
"Yes." The boy repeated, seeing the uncle nod, he immediately took the box and went to work.
Seeing that he had nothing to do with himself, Xiang Baozi left quietly. He was going to have a big meal to celebrate, but now forget it, let's run five laps to celebrate.
…………
The queen was crying.The book said that being frightened could easily lead to miscarriage, how could she not cry.
The book also said that crying and depression can easily lead to miscarriage. She was worried while crying, and it became even more uncomfortable, and her stomach still hurt.
A group of imperial physicians consulted for a long time, and said vaguely: "Your Majesty is a little bit pregnant, I dare not make a judgment." They went out for consultation.
Daiyu comforted her: "Mother, don't cry, don't scare yourself."
The queen cried and said, "I don't want to be afraid, but I can't control it, it's too scary."
If something happens to the child, I won't be able to live.
Daiyu sighed helplessly, she knew that her mother was even lingering on the bed because of her younger brother's death, and she didn't want her mother to do the same: "I'll tell you some stories, listen carefully, don't think about what's there, just relax Enough."
"Um……"
Daiyu is a good storyteller, but now she can't think of any stories: "Well, there is a special food in winter, the whole body is bright red, wrapped in a layer of crystal-like coat. It tastes extremely crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Waxy, each bite has a contrasting sweet and sour taste."
The queen listened carefully: "What is that?"
"Candied haws~hehe." Daiyu was a little embarrassed: "When I was a child, every Chinese New Year, there were dozens of candies and hundreds of snacks at home. I went to see the lamp. At that time, I had already started practicing martial arts. My father wanted to carry me away, but I refused. I felt that I had grown up, and I could walk as far as I could go over the wall with the light function, so I didn’t need my father to hold me. So skinny, it's hard to hug me every time."
The queen stopped crying, wiped her tears and laughed: "You are such a good daughter."
Daiyu shook her head: "In the end, Daddy carried me out to look at the lamp, because I was too short to see the lamp."
The queen covered her mouth and smiled, thinking about a cute and short little loli, although she couldn't see it with her own eyes, but thinking about it would melt her heart: "Daiyu, this year's Lantern Festival, you want to go home and reunite with your parents Is it? Let me tell you quietly, don’t say it outside, the emperor intends to transfer your father to the capital as an official, firstly, his term of office has expired, and secondly, he wants you to spend more time with your parents.”
The emperor was crying miserably at that time. Why did he cry because he wanted to raise a son but would not wait for him? My mother-in-law who only wanted one side was really miserable. Having such a filial and good son did not enjoy the blessings.
Daiyu was overjoyed: "Really? Thank God, it's great."
Seeing her smiling so sweetly, the queen was also happy: "Don't tell me, the emperor is going to do this quietly, and I will give you a pleasant surprise. Just pretend not to know in front of him."
Daiyu nodded seriously, with a smile on her face that she couldn't hide.
The queen rubbed her belly: "Huh? Suddenly it doesn't hurt anymore. I want to eat candied haws~"
Her complexion changed suddenly: "Ah, pregnant women can't eat hawthorn. In the evening, I ordered a shredded sweet potato to eat."
Daiyu suddenly remembered that Master could eat two or three candied gourds in winter, and his face was covered with sugar, so he hurriedly said, "Madam, where did you see the list of taboos? I want to see, but you can't even eat hawthorns." .” Make a copy and send it to my master!Her old man grows in the soil that swims in the water flying in the sky, and there is nothing that he dare not eat!Moreover, she is in good health and has not seen a doctor for so many years that she does not believe in the doctor's advice. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, my master and I took precautions, but she still stole a crab leg and licked it.
It's not good for a high-tech artist to use it boldly in this place!
However, he didn't dare to rush in directly, and when he reached the door, he faltered: "Brother, brother, I have something to ask you."
Zhuo Donglai's voice in the study was still cold and reserved: "Ze Lan? You,, come in."
Fourth Sister Wen rushed into the room, and when she saw him sitting calmly behind the table and gently putting down the pen in her hand, she couldn't help laughing, slammed the door behind her back, rushed behind the table, hugged him and kissed him Take a sip: "Wow~ I miss you~"
"You are so cute." The ice on Zhuo Donglai's face melted a little, and he smiled and said, "Aren't you happy in the palace?"
He is a person with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, and his beard must always be clean-shaven, and the remaining beard must be trimmed daily according to the length and shape of the years.No matter when you wear a little purple, clothes should be stacked in different boxes according to different materials and lengths according to the map. Jade pendants are sorted by size, belts are separated by metal buckles and jade, and they are still sorted by width. There must always be a half-full bottle of wine in the bottle, and the cloak you wear when you go out needs to be washed three times.
All the books in the study room should be sorted according to the rhyme of the first word, and it is impossible to miss a single one. All the newspapers sent should be sorted according to the "Ten Dao of the World (Guannei Road, Henan Road, Hedong Road, Hebei Road, Shannan Road, Longyou Road, Huainan Road, Jiangnan Road, Jiannan Road, Lingnan Road)' to be stacked separately, and the most important ones are placed on top.There are four trays on the table, and there are four categories of 'haven't read', 'useless after reading', 'to be dealt with' and 'attention' respectively.The subordinates complained a lot at first, but later they also got used to paying attention to the appearance and the ordering of reports.
Now the table is in a mess, stacks of papers are stacked on stacks of papers, and the messy flies have nowhere to land.
Fourth Sister Wen put her arms around his neck: "Why can't you be unhappy? I don't go to see those people who I have to bow my head to be polite. It's good to study new dishes in the imperial dining room and chat with Yao Sanlang. It's just that I want to see you, and I want to hug you."
Zhuo Donglai smiled, the black eyes were a little obvious, he hugged her: "Well, I miss you too."
"Brother, do you still have time to miss me?"
"Take time out of your busy schedule to think about it. I am very busy, and I only think of you when I eat, sleep and drink water."
Fourth Sister Wen's heart is about to melt, that's already all your rest time, she smirked: "Hey~ Xiang Baozi's book hasn't been finished yet for sale, and Jing Huan can't see it at all, why is brother calling me into the palace in such a hurry , Is there anything inconvenient for me to know?"
Zhuo Dong looked at her for a while, then smiled lightly: "No, it's just that I don't have time to accompany you, and I don't want you to feel left out."
Fourth Sister Wen slightly raised her eyebrows, doubtful, and said that you were so busy that you would go crazy, and sometimes you would ignore me for ten days and a half months. At that time, you would let me go to the kitchen to play happily, experimenting with various new dishes every day. You eat, why not now?She glanced at the table with a smile: "What are you busy with now?"
Zhuo Donglai put his hands on her waist, and said softly: "You want to know? Sit down and explain to you in detail."
"Okay, okay." The little silly girl happily agreed.
Zhuo Donglai casually took a stack of papers: "This is the inner court. It can be selected from the roster of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The list of suspicious personnel, um." The birthplaces, addresses, addresses of foreign residences, relationships, and the number of bribes of the sixteen officials who opposed the thorough investigation of my father-in-law’s injustice, and the reasons for their opposition.”
He paused: "I'm currently busy with these two things."
Fourth Sister Wen didn't believe it, and raised her hand to touch his dark circles: "Brother, with your ingenuity, these two things will make you so tired?"
Zhuo Donglai's face darkened slightly, and he habitually began to analyze in his heart: She felt that I hadn't told the truth, and even concealed some things, why would she think so?She wants to know what I'm doing.
Strangely, the cutest thing about Zelan is that she is stupid but sensible, and she doesn't ask about things she doesn't understand, so that I don't have to spend a long time explaining what I still don't understand.Why did she start to be curious?Is it because of marriage, or did someone say something?
He laughed and said: "It's easy to say, but it's not so easy in reality. Although there are no three thousand maids in the palace, the total number of maids, eunuchs, servants, and bodyguards is close to 2000. Suspicious people will not be exposed on the outside. Whether there is any eyeliner in the palace, we can only start from the minutiae, on the one hand, thoroughly investigate whether these people have suddenly become rich or died in their homes outside the palace, on the other hand, first study who can be bribed, and then let these people who have been bribed by me provide information Who is suspicious of surveillance."
"Ah...are there so many people in the palace? I always thought there were only a few hundred people." Fourth Sister Wen kissed him: "It's really a huge project, but you have to take care of your health. Look at your dark circles. You have a small waist, your waist is thinner than mine, you must have forgotten to eat again." Touching his waist, he kneaded it reluctantly.
Zhuo Donglai patted her hand off: "Ze Lan, don't make trouble, it will take three months."
"What?"
"...It's fine if you don't understand, you will naturally understand when the time comes."
"(⊙o⊙) Oh?" Fourth Sister Wen tried her best to control her state, and said softly: "Let's put aside my father's business, since you are busy, don't rush to do it together, don't tire yourself out died."
Being a widow right after I got married and my father and mother have been dead since I was a child, I feel that others will say that I have a hard character.
"It doesn't matter, Qin Zhongyu's new official has three fires, and this is the right place to start." Zhuo Donglai pinched her fleshy ears, and said happily: "Everyone knows that Lord Qin is very indignant at the death of General Wen, and has repeatedly written letters, If he is transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and does not retry the case, the world will say that he is trying to gain fame and supplement his reputation with heroism, which will not be good for anyone."
Fourth Sister Wen was puzzled: "You have already collected a lot of evidence, which is enough. Since Mr. Qin intends to retrial, and he is the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, you can just give him the evidence. What are you up to?"
"He is the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, one level lower than Shangshu." Zhuo Donglai continued to pinch her fleshy earlobe, and said happily, "I am giving a dowry to my father-in-law~"
Fourth Sister Wen blushed: "You helped me kill Huang Jinlang, wasn't it a gift for my father?"
Dowry or something, so embarrassing.
He thought to himself, I might as well explain it to Zelan, she is a little too naive. "You have to know that there was a huge problem with the process at that time. Huang Jinlang falsely accused the border guards. The court should have sent people to thoroughly investigate the authenticity. The officials did not review it carefully. I checked these days, and many people have died, but there are also some people who have been implicated in it, and those who benefited from it are still in the officialdom, old and strong."
Fourth Sister Wen nodded slightly: "I know, after careful calculation, this matter has affected half of the officialdom, including the current prime minister, but what's the use of knowing, I can't kill them all, then we won't have a foothold place."
Murder is a kind of thing that is full of losses, but modesty benefits~
Zhuo Donglai chuckled lightly and said, "If all the officials implicated in it were killed at once, it would of course raise people's vigilance and make the emperor and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty afraid. However, I am not going to kill them all at once. Every few years, use Different reasons and excuses. Some officials are imprisoned, some officials are implicated and relegated, and some officials die unfortunately. Isn’t that interesting? It is normal for officials to die for these reasons.”
Fourth Sister Wen felt a chill out of thin air, not the coldness of late autumn, but a chilling feeling, and hugged him to keep warm: "Brother~ I didn't know you had done so many things."
"Hehe." Zhuo Donglai wanted to mock her for running away for several years, but he was afraid that she would be sad or angry, so he laughed and said, "Although you don't know, my father-in-law receives gifts from me every year, and there is no way to reciprocate them. If not, promise you to me."
Fourth Sister Wen curled her lips arrogantly: "Hmph, I like you, so I don't need his permission."
While talking, he buried his head in his neck: "Brother, you are so kind~ muma~ What I told you, you must have taken the Fengyue Baojian, the person who dared to go to your bedroom to steal things is not yet born It’s already been hacked to death, don’t use that thing, Yao Sanlang said (omit the content of the previous chapter).”
Zhuo Donglai nodded, and said calmly: "Okay." Yao Shenxian is quite capable of fooling people.
Fourth Sister Wen looked at him in surprise: "Did you already know that something was wrong with the mirror? Yao Sanlang told you?"
Zhuo Donglai sighed softly: "When there was a goblin who was your enemy, you inexplicably got a mirror that can see illusions. Do you need others to say more? Of course there is a big problem. At that time, you led the way in a strange way. I went to sell my sheep and exchanged them for a mirror with a mysterious origin, and then I didn’t eat for three days. When I heard my subordinates report these things, I knew that the mirror was dangerous.”
The mystery of the ages, I have taught her for so many years, why is Zelan still shrewd in other people's affairs, but stupid when it comes to her own affairs?
Fourth Sister Wen remembered the origin of that mirror, (⊙o⊙) ah!Looking at him intently: "I always thought that there were only people sent by Lianrong outside my house."
Zhuo Donglai smiled: "That's my man." Even Lian Rong didn't know~╮(╯▽╰)╭
"Okay, you go back, I still have a lot of things to do. I'll be free in two days, and I'll stop by to see you when I go to meet the emperor."
"Well~I want to kiss~" Fourth Sister Wen got it, she simply got up and left, walked to the door and turned around again: "Don't take out the Fengyue Baojian just because you miss me."
Zhuo Donglai looked at her expressionlessly: "I'm too busy to have time."
Fourth Sister Wen chuckled: "I'm still worried, you give me the mirror, I'll take it to Yao Sanlang and let him deal with it."
Zhuo Donglai just picked up the pen and put it down again, and said calmly: "Although he is good, you don't need to rely on him for everything."
"No, I'm obviously very dependent on you."
Zhuo Donglai pointed to the foot of Fourth Sister Wen: "Turn off the carpet and the floor tiles, the mirror is there. You take it out, find a goldsmith with a tip, give him 200 taels of silver, and call him Find a way to get the mirror into the hands of the second master Bao of Rongguo Mansion. Promise him that there will be 200 taels of silver after the job is completed. If it fails, return the silver and the mirror. , Don’t blame me for attacking (resentment), let him read some tricks (be blind).”
Jinjin: This kind of business is the most difficult to do in the field of Jindian.First, the face-to-face gentleman should be handsome and imposing. Based on that person's appearance, and then "hanging a fire shirt", that is to say, he is dressed luxuriously, and he can scare people by standing on the ground. pressure point.The meaning of this is that just like the characters in an opera, there must be a typhoon to warn people.The second is to have a clean plate (that is, the ability of lips and teeth).The third is to have "Tang'er" (that is, to have a voice).
Choujian: People in the Jianghu tease that they can really read photobooks, divination and other books and call them Choujian.
Fourth Sister Wen lifted the carpet and floor tiles, saw something buried in the soil, ran to the side and picked up a pickaxe, frowned: "I'm afraid it's not good for Yuan Nian'er. It's not on time." Yuan Nian'er: Attract the target .
Zhuo Donglai smiled lightly: "What's the matter with you?" You are stupid, they can get the money if they can, but they can't change people!
Fourth Sister Wen dug things out of the soil, suddenly became interested, and rubbed her chin: "Why don't I go for a walk? Recently, Daiyu also talked about them, and Yao Sanlang also talked about them, and I saw Rongguo Mansion again from you. It shouldn’t be difficult to deceive them for a while.”
Zhuo Donglai's face darkened: "Don't go! You are a person of status now, not as poor as Shui Mazi (poor) in the past, and now most of the people I associate with are officials and dignitaries. You have been to Rongguo Mansion again, don't let people recognize you. Lan, if you are bored, you can go home and have a banquet, and invite some ladies of your status to socialize."
Fourth Sister Wen immediately bowed her head to be obedient, and wrapped the mirror with a handkerchief: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely find someone who can handle the matter well." Communication and so on, although I know there will be a day when I can't escape, but now forget it~
Zhuo Donglai snorted softly and let her go.Hmph, I can pick out one thing to scare her~ She forgot to ask me why I sent Fengyue Baojian to Rongguo Mansion, I was not happy to show off my plan.
Plan: If Jia Baoyu and Princess Xuanzhen really have some fate, he will see Daiyu in the mirror, and after a long time, people will know.At the same time, the person Jing Huan cares about can be used to test whether the mirror is harmful. If Jing Huan comes to take away the mirror as soon as it is in Baoyu's hands, it means that the mirror is very harmful, otherwise it is harmless.If the mirror is harmful, and Jing Huan is afraid of Yao Sanlang and his teacher, then it can be tested to find out how harmful it is!At the same time, it proves that Jing Huan has given up.
After all, Fourth Sister Wen was a well-known person, and she also had some knowledge in the world.
I went to the area where the physicists gather, and soon I saw a very suitable one (handsome, with real skills, but not good character).
Just about to strike up a conversation and discuss this hot business (rich business).
Suddenly, Taoist Bilu was holding seven or eight paper bags, exuding a hot and seductive fragrance all over his body, his thin lips were a little red and swollen for unknown reasons, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red, as if he had cried, "Fourth Sister Wen?"
Fourth Sister Wen was surprised: "Why did the Taoist priest come here? The Taoist priest smells so good, do you want to eat the pot?"
Taoist Bilu was overjoyed: "Eat it! I love spicy pots the most."
Fourth Sister Wen pointed out: "My apprentice's house is not far from here, how about a favor from the Taoist priest?"
Taoist Bilu wasn't quite sure what it meant to give him a face: "Do you want to treat me to hot pot? That's great~"
Then the two of them happily smelled the smell with a lot of peppers in their hands, and the other carried a magic mirror, and walked side by side to a place where the stove could be borrowed - Laotan pickle shop.
Fourth Sister Wen went into the store, slapped the counter, and said in a deep voice, "Tell your shopkeepers to come out!"
An old man in his 40s yelled and ran to the back of the house in a frenzy: "Ah! No! The shopkeeper! The shopkeeper, come quickly! Your master is here!"
The aunt who came to buy pickles looked at Fourth Sister Wen expressionlessly: "You and that guy are the most boring people I've ever seen in my life."
Taoist Bilu was a little frightened at first, and didn't know what she was going to do. Hearing what the man said, he couldn't help laughing: "It's so interesting!"
The aunt gave him a disdainful look, she was too handsome to despise, so she left with pickles.
Two beautiful women came out hand in hand, shaking their heads helplessly: "Master, your friend has the same weird smile as you."
"Ahahaha, otherwise, could he be my friend?" Fourth Sister Wen went around the counter, walked to the back kitchen with ease, took out a piece of silver and threw it over: "I suddenly want to eat hot pot, so I went to buy mutton rolls, fish balls and other dishes. Come. Let me borrow your stove."
"Go and buy vegetables~" Lianrong ordered, looking at the beautiful young Taoist priest: "Master, if you want to eat hot pot, it must be related to this Taoist priest." The smell made me hungry.
Yun'er smiled and asked: "It seems that the Taoist priest just finished eating hot pot, and he wants to have another meal? Aren't you afraid of feeling uncomfortable afterwards?"
Taoist Bilu didn't dare to look at these two beautiful women and could only look at the pickle jar: "Xiaodao just ate the big pancake roll with hot sauce."
Spread the pancakes on top of the pancakes, dip the dough pancakes into it, cut the small pancakes and eat them in between. It’s delicious no matter what you eat~ There are diced meat in the hot sauce that Yunqi bought for me~
Yun'er giggled coquettishly, and shouted to the kitchen: "Master, give us some stir-fry as well, we both want to eat tonight."
Taoist Bilu heard that she wanted to seriously fry the hot pot base, so he hurried over to discuss with her the preparation and dosage of spices in the hot pot.
Fourth Sister Wen said: "You love spicy food so much, and you live so long, why can't you cook?"
Taoist Bilu blinked, and tears rolled down: "Five colors make people blind, five tones make people deaf, five flavors make people happy, galloping in the wild hunts makes people mad, and hard-to-find goods make people lose their way. It is the sage's stomach and eyes, So go and pick this. I have eaten dishes with clear soup and little water for many years."
Backing away while crying: "Okay, it's too hot to take hot peppers for hot pot." Sobbing.
The lotus seed paste is used to make vermicelli, and the cook is asked to choose various vegetables in the kitchen, and cut radishes and bamboo shoots.
Yun'er took out all kinds of seasonings, chose them, and put them in a bowl, and put them all at the master's hand.
Seeing the hard work of the two apprentices, Fourth Sister Wen burst into tears: "It's really too hot. I didn't know how to cry before. I haven't done it for a few days, and my skills have regressed."
The two beauties huddled together smiling and ran away.
Taoist Bilu quickly adjusted his posture, stuffed a bunch of hot peppers he had just bought into his sleeves, protected his face with the three flowers on top, and stood calmly and gracefully beside the thick and wanton hot pot ingredients that were emitting green smoke : "You have a demonic aura on your body, and you are wearing a beauty curse."
Fourth Sister Wen waved the mirror: "Is that the evil spirit?"
"Correct."
Fourth Sister Wen asked: "Master Taoist, do you have any taboos when eating hot pot? For example, can you eat things like beef louvers, pork liver, and duck intestines?"
"Normally you can't eat it." Taoist Bilu chuckled happily, "But don't tell me what it is, it's fine~"
Fourth Sister Wen: "Hahahaha, okay, I won't tell you anything!" She continued to stir-fry the bottom ingredients, guessing that the wine and fermented soybeans were about to be added, when she suddenly remembered: "Hey? Didn't you grow a lot of things yourself? Why? Didn’t grow chili? Master won’t let me?”
Taoist Bilu said sadly: "Oh, it's a long story. A few years ago I retreated once, about ten years or so. Before I retreated, I entrusted the vegetable garden to a senior brother. I planted some of each kind every year, as long as the seeds can continue. He was lazy and only planted it once a few years after harvesting the seeds, but unfortunately, someone made barbecue and took all the peppers left over to grind and eat."
…………
Interjection.Yesterday afternoon, Xue Pan was limping and got a little dust on his body, but luckily Chen Xiang couldn't see the dust.Bringing the 'beauty in red' home with a smirk on his face, Xue Baochai was shocked when he saw it: "Brother, why are you injured? Fortunately, mother is not here, go and clean up."
Xue Pan said embarrassingly, "I accidentally dropped it."
Baochai didn't quite believe it, so she sat down with her master in the house and asked, "Master, did you really not hit my brother?"
Peony suppressed a smile and looked at the little apprentice, pouted: "How do you think he fell down?"
Baochai thought for a while: "Master, you secretly gave her a split palm, or a sweeping leg, and then my brother fell down."
Murong Mudan gave her a big roll of the eyes: "He didn't stand still, leaned on the horse pretending to be coquettish, and the horse ran away."
Baochai said very seriously: "My brother has a nickname of Daibawang, but this is no longer Dumb."
Murong Mudan laughed loudly: "Go and ask him!"
Baochai stood up and was going to ask, but after thinking about it for a while, she felt that it was wrong, so she smoothed things over: "Master, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this matter is too unbelievable."
Murong Mudan wiped away tears with a smile: "I also find it incredible, hahahaha."
Before he finished his cup of tea, Baochai came back with a heavy face: "My brother didn't admit it, but I can tell it's true."
Peony: "Hahahahahahaha"
Baochai asked leisurely: "Master, can I let my brother join your sect?"
Peony hasn't laughed enough yet: "Hahahahaha no way!"
Baochai blinked and seduced her: "Master and apprentice are like father and son. If my elder brother worships under your sect and becomes my junior apprentice, he will not dare to speak ill of you again. Besides, it is natural for a master to teach his apprentice. If my elder brother becomes a master Your disciple, you can fight whatever you want."
Peony showed an expression of great anticipation that was almost impossible to refuse, and hesitated for a long time: "Well, but he is not good-looking."
Baochai hastened to persuade Master persistently: "He is just too fat now and lacks education.
Didn't you see when he was young, when my elder brother was young, he looked like a pair of sisters when he stood with me on a lotus face and a willow waist. "
Mudan thought for a while: "Forget it, let's not mention him for now. Baochai, give me a punch and let me see. Have you been lazy lately?"
Eat after punching, chat after eating, and sleep after chatting.
Baochai did not hesitate to pester her master to stay and sleep with her so that her elder brother could become a teacher.
Mudan also stayed. Originally, there was a bachelor Xiang Baozi waiting for her at home, but now Xiang Baozi and Mr. Qin are very happy, and I am still alone.Seeing that I was about to fall into the same situation as my master back then, I didn't have a brother who was willing to love me secretly for many years, and then tried every means to marry me, so distressed.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Xue questioned whether Murong Peony is so young and so beautiful, can she really teach her apprentice well?Then she watched Xue Pan being taken into the yard by Xue Baochai and beaten up, unilaterally. Although the attack was not harsh, it looked very bluffing.In order to prove that the beautiful sister in red can be my master, Xue Pan yelled miserably and wailed.
Murong Mudan chuckled lightly and said, "What does Mrs. Xue think?"
Mrs. Xue took her hand: "Girl, where do you live? Who is there in the family? Have you made an engagement?"
When I marry a daughter-in-law, I don’t care whether I have money or not. There are only two requirements. First, treat Baochai well. My daughter-in-law and sister-in-law have never dealt with each other. When I was a sister-in-law, I opposed my sister-in-law. Half dead, I don't want Baochai to suffer too.Second, if he can control Pan'er, he will be like this for the rest of his life. Don't expect him to have any great abilities, as long as he can live a stable life without committing crimes!
Murong Mudan was stunned, and the two who cheated each other in a ball in the yard were also stunned.
Mrs. Xue has already observed her speech and behavior: Although she is not ladylike enough, she does not have the air of a village. Seeing the aura of wealth and nobility in this room, gold, jade and antiques do not stare straight at her.Although wearing bright red is too gorgeous, she doesn't wear any hairpin jewelry on her head or hands, doesn't wear flowers, doesn't wear powder on her face, and has a plain face that doesn't hide her national color. She seems poor, but the material of the red dress is very good.Although he often showed his face in public, he didn't look frivolous. He stood like a pine and sat like a bell, and repeatedly refused to accept a young man as an apprentice.
Holding her hand felt a little rough, either because of holding a knife, or because she usually works at home and is a hardworking person.Although he looks glamorous, how could he win Xue Pan's heart otherwise, that silly boy stretched his neck like a wooden goose, what a shame!Why do I have such a stupid son, if you really worship her as your teacher, you won't be able to catch her!
Mrs. Xue smiled very kindly: "Oh, you look so beautiful, but your hands are so thick, you must have suffered a lot. Girls should be raised with gold and jade. Look at Baochai, every day Clothes are stretched out, hands are eaten, mouths are opened, playing the piano, reading books, or writing and embroidering, and now I have added martial arts, how comfortable. Listen to me, the Xue family has been an emperor for generations..."
Although Pan'er has changed his mind and started a new life now, there is no guarantee that his old ways will germinate that day. It is better to hire someone who can manage him.
No wealthy family in Jinling City is willing to marry their daughter to Pan'er. Now there may be some people in the capital who are willing, but there is a storm in the capital. Yesterday there may be high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and tomorrow all families may be imprisoned.I also looked at the girls of Jia's family, but they were not satisfied. Since the stupid son is staring at her, why not ask her about her family's background.If you marry me, you can manage the house, teach my son martial arts, and discipline him well. Wouldn't it kill three birds with one stone?
Murong Mudan yelled: "It's time to stop!" She stood up and ran away.
The Xue family siblings were interrogated by their mother for two hours about her details.
…………
Xiang Baozi and Qin Zhongyu finished writing together.
Qin Zhongyu asked her to go out to the theater, but was mercilessly rejected.
Holding the manuscript, she cheerfully went to find her master, leaving behind Qin Zhongyu who was puzzled.
Qin Zhongyu was puzzled: "Am I not handsome? Although I am not handsome, I have good facial features and a face of righteousness.
Am I poor?Although I am poor, I am in a high position at a young age, so it should be said that I have a bright future.
Am I boring?Just made her laugh non-stop.
Could it be that the family style is strict and they are not allowed to go out to watch theaters with men?Don't be ridiculous, no one cares about the peony girl riding alone for thousands of miles. "
At the same time, Xiang Baozi presented the manuscript tremblingly, and asked shyly, "Master, Ajaan asked me to go out to the theater."
Zhuo Donglai flipped through the book: "Go."
Xiang Baozi lowered his head: "I'm too fat, and he's also a man of distinction, what if others laugh at him?"
Zhuo Donglai thought to himself: He himself is not afraid of losing face, what are you afraid of?On second thought, no.Then he took a sip of wine lazily, and continued to flip through the book: "Losing weight." You can eat four times the amount of mine in one meal, so it's no wonder you're not fat.
Xiang Baozi counted on his fingers: "I tried to lose weight by eating only watermelon in summer, and eating only radishes and boiled cabbage in winter. Every time I passed out, and I didn't lose weight at all. I have never been lazy in practicing martial arts every day..."
Zhuo Donglai frowned and looked at her: "You are so stupid. How is Mudan's figure?"
Xiang Baozi sighed: "I am Baozi, and she is chopsticks."
Zhuo Donglai snorted and said, "If you want to be as thin as her, then you can eat whatever she eats, and you can eat as much as she eats, not too much. She practices martial arts every day, so you can practice martial arts with her." .Close-to-hand combat and light skills are your weaknesses."
Xiang Baozi said in a low voice: "Senior sister eats a lot."
"Hehe. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I ate half a crab. Zelan licked a crab leg. Lianrong and Yun'er each ate one, Mudan ate two, and the remaining ten you ate for two hours." It's all eaten up."
Xiang Baozi ran to the side by himself to recall the difference in appetite between himself and his senior sister.The more I think about it, the more I feel ashamed. Although I always finish eating with my senior sister, she chews thirty times in one bite, which is enough for me to eat four or five bites.
After reading the book, Zhuo Donglai called out, "Come here!"
A servant ran in from outside the door: "My lord, please order."
"Ask Sun Liang to send this box to the bookstore, and immediately arrange for workers to typeset and print the book. Within two days, I will see this book go on sale in the capital."
"Yes." The boy repeated, seeing the uncle nod, he immediately took the box and went to work.
Seeing that he had nothing to do with himself, Xiang Baozi left quietly. He was going to have a big meal to celebrate, but now forget it, let's run five laps to celebrate.
…………
The queen was crying.The book said that being frightened could easily lead to miscarriage, how could she not cry.
The book also said that crying and depression can easily lead to miscarriage. She was worried while crying, and it became even more uncomfortable, and her stomach still hurt.
A group of imperial physicians consulted for a long time, and said vaguely: "Your Majesty is a little bit pregnant, I dare not make a judgment." They went out for consultation.
Daiyu comforted her: "Mother, don't cry, don't scare yourself."
The queen cried and said, "I don't want to be afraid, but I can't control it, it's too scary."
If something happens to the child, I won't be able to live.
Daiyu sighed helplessly, she knew that her mother was even lingering on the bed because of her younger brother's death, and she didn't want her mother to do the same: "I'll tell you some stories, listen carefully, don't think about what's there, just relax Enough."
"Um……"
Daiyu is a good storyteller, but now she can't think of any stories: "Well, there is a special food in winter, the whole body is bright red, wrapped in a layer of crystal-like coat. It tastes extremely crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Waxy, each bite has a contrasting sweet and sour taste."
The queen listened carefully: "What is that?"
"Candied haws~hehe." Daiyu was a little embarrassed: "When I was a child, every Chinese New Year, there were dozens of candies and hundreds of snacks at home. I went to see the lamp. At that time, I had already started practicing martial arts. My father wanted to carry me away, but I refused. I felt that I had grown up, and I could walk as far as I could go over the wall with the light function, so I didn’t need my father to hold me. So skinny, it's hard to hug me every time."
The queen stopped crying, wiped her tears and laughed: "You are such a good daughter."
Daiyu shook her head: "In the end, Daddy carried me out to look at the lamp, because I was too short to see the lamp."
The queen covered her mouth and smiled, thinking about a cute and short little loli, although she couldn't see it with her own eyes, but thinking about it would melt her heart: "Daiyu, this year's Lantern Festival, you want to go home and reunite with your parents Is it? Let me tell you quietly, don’t say it outside, the emperor intends to transfer your father to the capital as an official, firstly, his term of office has expired, and secondly, he wants you to spend more time with your parents.”
The emperor was crying miserably at that time. Why did he cry because he wanted to raise a son but would not wait for him? My mother-in-law who only wanted one side was really miserable. Having such a filial and good son did not enjoy the blessings.
Daiyu was overjoyed: "Really? Thank God, it's great."
Seeing her smiling so sweetly, the queen was also happy: "Don't tell me, the emperor is going to do this quietly, and I will give you a pleasant surprise. Just pretend not to know in front of him."
Daiyu nodded seriously, with a smile on her face that she couldn't hide.
The queen rubbed her belly: "Huh? Suddenly it doesn't hurt anymore. I want to eat candied haws~"
Her complexion changed suddenly: "Ah, pregnant women can't eat hawthorn. In the evening, I ordered a shredded sweet potato to eat."
Daiyu suddenly remembered that Master could eat two or three candied gourds in winter, and his face was covered with sugar, so he hurriedly said, "Madam, where did you see the list of taboos? I want to see, but you can't even eat hawthorns." .” Make a copy and send it to my master!Her old man grows in the soil that swims in the water flying in the sky, and there is nothing that he dare not eat!Moreover, she is in good health and has not seen a doctor for so many years that she does not believe in the doctor's advice. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, my master and I took precautions, but she still stole a crab leg and licked it.
It's not good for a high-tech artist to use it boldly in this place!
