[Comprehensive Red House] Infinite Merit

Located in the Jiangnan water town, the courtyard is exquisite and beautiful, surrounded by water, elegant and soft.

In the courtyard, there are phoenix trees and pavilions like covers, and small wind chimes hang from the eaves of the corridor. Whenever the breeze blows, the sounds are as beautiful as pearls falling on a jade plate, which is pleasant to the ear.

The lotus flowers are slowly blooming in the small pond in front of the court. The pink and white flowers are tall or low, or stand gracefully and gracefully among the lotus leaves, or gently nestle beside the green disc, gentle and graceful.Every time the breeze comes, the posture is swaying, straight or curved, slowly telling a school of elegance and subtlety.

The small pavilion with vermilion lacquer is located on the water, and it is nothing more than a small and elegant white marble bridge connecting the two sides of the river, which also shows the heritage in its softness.

There are some exquisite and unique jade bells hanging from the corners of the eaves around the pavilion. The wind blows the bells, which are crisp and melodious.Decorated with white jade, it not only shows the elegant taste of the host family, but also implicitly implies a rich and generous family background.Every time the bell rings, with the white gauze flowing around, it becomes more interesting.

The small place is different from the vestibule of the yard where everyone in the Northland can hold a banquet with their swords, but it does not have a light and unique meaning.

Not far from the fence made of bamboo, Sui Yun in a green dress bowed to the woman whose eyes had been fixed in the courtyard for a long time, and said with a smile, "Madam, please."

This is the wife of Jia Yucun, the new prefect of Yingtian Prefecture in Jinling, Jia Zhen's family.

This Jia Zhen looks like she is in her 30s, and her clothes are considered luxurious. There are two gold hairpins and jade bracelets on her rolled-up hair. She has gentle eyebrows and eyes, and she looks like the most gentle and reserved woman.

She withdrew her eyes and sighed in her heart: I have heard people say how rich the Zhen family is, but the scenery I saw at the Zhen family that day could not compare to this small courtyard.Sure enough, the Xue family that people say is not false, and the county lord's fierce methods are not false, otherwise, which family would be willing to spend such money in the girl's boudoir, and the dozen or so jade bells alone are worth her whole body. up.

Thinking of this in her heart, Jia Zhen smiled, and gave Sui Yun a small purse embroidered with rhododendrons, and said with a smile: "Just a little heart, let's drink tea, girl, please." gone."

Sui Yun lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly, while leading Jia Zhenshi in.

Youyi was sitting in the living room, Manxi was kneeling and cooking tea, standing not far from Youyi like a cloud patron saint, Zhu Yan, Baizhi, and Baishao were all on standby.The tidy and transparent living room is actually not big, with log-colored floors, all light-colored furniture, large windows, inlaid with precious glass, and plain white gauze hanging down. It looks elegant, simple and clear.

Jia Zhenshi glanced lightly, and the shock in her heart couldn't stop.The glass is so precious, she only saw the glass wine glasses put out by Mrs. Zhen when she went to the Zhen family banquet the day before yesterday, which was unheard of before, but now the Xue family can use large pieces of glass as windows, it is really rich and powerful.

He sighed again: It's so strange to hear people say: "There is a lot of snow in a good year, and pearls are like earth and gold is like iron."Now it can be regarded as knowledge.

With so many thoughts in her heart, Jia Zhen had to say hello to Youyi with a smile on her face: "I came to see the grandma. Wouldn't it be nice if I didn't come to greet the county magistrate when I arrived at your mansion?"

Wenying leaned aside and said: "Madam Tongzhi and Madam Zhifu came with her. Because she was not feeling well, she went back first. Order the maidservant to sue the county magistrate for her."

Youyi smiled: "It's nothing."

She said: "Since Ma'am is here, let's stay longer. Did sister-in-law leave lunch?"

The last sentence was for Wen Ying, and Wen Ying smiled and bowed, and said, "I stayed."

Youyi nodded, waved her hands, and didn't speak. She took the tea bowl in her hand and skimmed off the foam on the tea, but she didn't drink it. Instead, she closed it casually and put it on the high table at hand.

Jia Zhen saw that she meant to see off the guests, so she couldn't help but smiled and said: "I heard that the county magistrate has a habit of taking a nap. Today is my concubine's trouble, so I will leave."

"Let my sister-in-law entertain you well." Youyi told Wenying, trying to save face, and then smiled at Jia Zhenshi: "I won't stay anymore, madam, go slowly."

He also ordered people to prepare a bamboo sedan chair, and Jia Zhen said hurriedly, "Don't bother, I will also exercise my muscles and bones."

Youyi nodded, signaled for Suiyun to see off the guests, and then called Zhu Yan, "Take a jar of the newly acquired tea and give it to my sister-in-law."

"Yes." Zhu Yan responded, bowed and stepped back.

Everyone dispersed, Youyi randomly pulled a pillow from the side, tilted it on the couch, and said lazily to Manxi: "Pour me a cup of tea."

Manxi agreed softly, and at the same time offered Youyi a small jade tea clock.

Manxi and Suiyun are beside Youyi. Although they are both close guards, they are different.Man Xiwu was so good at swordsmanship that it was as majestic as the wind, and it was no problem parrying four or five young and strong men alone.In addition to her job, Manxi is also good at tea art, and she has a little bit of experience in lighting incense and flower arrangement. In fact, I am afraid that the average boudoir lady is not as good as her.

Suiyun has a good hidden weapon in his hand, and can easily kill people from hundreds of meters away, without fail.And she has the most keen sense. Although she is used to hiding in the dark, she is the first to notice when someone approaches.

After drinking half a cup of tea slowly, Youyi leaned on the couch with her arms around the pillow for a while, and suddenly said, "Are you in your twenties today?"

"Return to the master, I'm 23." Manxi smiled lightly, her voice was clear and sweet.

Youyi nodded, "hmm" for a lifetime without knowing the meaning, slowly closed her eyes, and said casually: "I'll squint for a while, the people in the room have dispersed. Suiyun, you can go and rest too, as long as Yun Manxi is here. "

Suiyun hurriedly took a blanket from the cabinet and put it on Youyi, Suiyun waved his hand, made two gestures to Manxi and Suiyun, and retreated with the rest of the maids in the room.

In September, the weather in Jinling is cooler than in summer. Although it is still hot and muggy compared to the north, it is enough for people in Jinling who have been ravaged by the scorching sun for several months to breathe a long sigh of relief.

Youyi moved back to live in Chi'an Garden, and was busy for a few days due to the change of seasons, changing the store, changing product channels, or developing new industrial chains. By the time she returned from leisure, it was already mid-September.

The autumn wind is blowing slowly, blowing head-on, bringing the fragrance of chrysanthemums.

It has been one and a half months since Mrs. Chen was pregnant. Although she didn't mention the diagnosis, Dr. Huang, who is enshrined in the mansion, has a lot of research in gynecology. Since he brought it up, there will be no mistake.Therefore, although the month is still young, it is not easy to make it public, but it has spread throughout the Xue family. Mrs. Xue is so happy that she doesn't get angry with her daughter. Landing.

On the one hand, Mrs. Xue refused to let Mrs. Chen serve by her side. She ordered people to stew bird's nest and white fungus three times a day to give to Mrs. Chen. Shi's miscarriage.

In the end, Youyi refused, and selected four experienced children from the family in the mansion to serve Mrs. Chen in turn, and invited a female doctor with a good reputation who was good at gynecology to accompany Mrs. Chen personally.

The combination of Sui Yun and Zhu Yan took over the housework in Xue's house, and the Chen family has since then lived a life of eating, drinking and caring for their children.

"You don't have much for lunch. The servant girl steamed chestnut powder cake with sweet-scented osmanthus sugar, as well as meat floss and milk cake. The preserved fruit and lotus root powder are made in our house, and the taste is much better than the ones bought outside." Qiongzhi mentioned The little red box with filigree came in, bowed to Youyi, and said with a smile.

Youyi leaned on her chin and looked at the dishes of exquisite food, and suddenly turned her head to ask Suiyun: "How many crabs are there in the house?"

Sui Yun said: "There are about forty catties left. This year, I told my grandmother that I was not feeling well, so I gave away less. The wife received a total of ten catties in the courtyard. The wife used four for two meals, and the crab legs were scattered. After a meal, the rest was given to the servants. In the grandma's yard, because of her body, she didn't have a collar, so the servants were also empty. Although we use less here, it is also occupied in the mansion. Big head."

Youyi scooped up a spoonful of lotus root powder at random, and said: "I want to use crab roe soup dumplings in the morning, and I will give a drawer to my mother, and I will have a drawer here. The rest of the crabs will not be kept, and you can share them with each other after cooking. Be careful." , don’t cause a big conflict.”

He asked again: "Have all the bricklayers been found? You must be careful when organizing the Hanling Hall, and everything must be done according to the drawings you prepared earlier. There must be no mistakes. How did you choose the nurse? Zhu Yan, you It’s good to check and choose, there must be no character problems. The servants prepared by the Hanling Pavilion must be carefully selected, but if there is a mistake—you know my temper.”

She smiled softly: "You are the ones I brought back, and I can trust you. But there is a family with a child who is thinking about something, you'd better be vigilant."

Zhu Yan and Sui Yun bowed together and said: "Your servant obeys."

Youyi asked Heyu again: "How is the fetal image of sister-in-law?"

He Yu said with a smile: "Grandma is in good health, and the prescription prescribed by Dr. Huang is also very safe, and the fetal image is very good."

You Yifang sighed softly, and said: "This time, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, I will be much more relaxed once I am born."

Sui Yun smiled and said: "It's rare to see you with such intense emotions."

"I'm not emotional, I'm annoyed by your wife's nagging." Youyi sighed, and suddenly remembered another thing: "The old lady of the Zhen family sent someone to ask for the taste of 'Angong Bezoar' pill', sent it to her?"

"Give it away." Zhu Yan said: "This is also the wife of the Zhen family. How big is the Zhen family, and as for sending me an hour or two away, just for a pill?"

"The Zhen family may not be doing well now." Sui Yun said: "I sent a pair of bottles to the pawnshop before. Guess what? It was fired in an official kiln, and the seal of the inner court secretary was made by Ouchi! I'm curious. , I sent someone to check it out, and it turned out that it was given to the lady of the Zhen family by the Supreme Emperor in the early years! If I ask someone to find out, don’t I know? The grandma who is now in charge of the Zhen family actually stretched out her hand to the old lady’s In the private treasury! If the things are used as turnover, the Zhen family will not have the glory of paving the ground with gold."

She shook her head and sighed: "If you don't say it, things in this world are unpredictable. When the eldest wife of the Zhen family wanted to accept our county master as the second wife of his brother Baoyu, why didn't she expect that the Zhen family would also be able to make ends meet? situation?"

"It may not be enough to make ends meet, it's just that the juniors are making trouble. Now the imperial concubine is still standing. Although the prince in front didn't succeed, she is still the prince. The Zhen family... just watch." Youyi picked it up After taking a sip of the chestnut flour cake, he casually praised Qiong Zhi: "This year's sweet-scented osmanthus candy tastes stronger than last year's."

Qiong Zhi smiled when he heard that, and said to Zhu Yan and Sui Yun: "I don't care about those things outside of you, but the most important thing is that the master eats well now, so don't talk about these messy things. How do you have anything to do with our family? What's the matter?"

"Yes, yes, Qiongzhi, you are right." Sui Yun nodded with a smile, and looked at Zhu Yan outside and smiled, both of them had gentle eyebrows and eyes.
