A world of glory

Seeing Qin Yi enter the house, Lanyue put down the cup in her hand, stood up and took off the crane cloak for Qin Yi, while undressing, said angrily: "But the dew in the forest even moistens the robe inside, It's better to change into another suit to avoid the cold." Qin Yi said with a smile: "I don't need to change any clothes, anyway, I won't go out today. Just take some homely clothes for me to change into." Lanyue According to his words, he took a half-new satin robe with moon-white peony pattern and dark flowers, and asked Qin Yi to change it into it. Fearing that Qin Yi would catch cold, he also took a purple-gold colored glaze hand stove for Qin Yi to hold.Peiyu found a little maid, and told her to pass the message in the small kitchen, while she made a pot of tea on the porch, and carried it into the house on a white-glazed green-patterned plate.

Peiyu put the plate on the table, took a cup of tea, handed it to Qin Yi and said, "Master, warm yourself with tea." Qin Yi put the hand stove aside, leaned on the couch, took the tea, and asked Drinking, suddenly remembered something, smiled and said: "You take that post and let me have a look." Pei Yufang went into the side room, took the lacquer post and came out, Qin Yi took the post and looked at it, suddenly smiled and said: "I Who is it, so it is this sloppy bug." Smiling, he put the post aside, and said to Peiyu, "You know the person who delivered the things, and it was Duanyan who was by my side." Peiyu He laughed and said, "It turned out to be him. No wonder he sent a post without writing his name, and sent a dumb man to deliver things. His temperament has not changed at all." Peiyu doubted again: "He has only been out for a few years. , To be able to achieve success, but foolish people have foolish blessings."

Lanyue smiled and said: "Where is he so lucky? My wife kicked him out, and our young master sent someone to send money to redeem him. Let him take care of a small village." Peiyu listened After Lanyue said this, he quickly smiled and said: "I remember this, but the year before last, I bought the Zhuangzi on the west side of the Chu River, but it was only a dozen hectares of land, and it was also a "person" field, and there was not much harvest throughout the year. I still kept that Zhuangzi as a young master because of the hot spring on the Zhuangzi, but unexpectedly I let Duanyan go to the Zhuangzi." Qin Yi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Although Duanyan was kicked out, But in the end, he is the person next to me, and he has served me for several years, no matter what, there is still a trace of affection. Letting him manage Zhuangzi is just grinding his temper, but he never thought that it has been a few years, and he is still the same. He's so rough." "After all, his nature is hard to change. If you feel that he is muddled in his work and misses his old friendship, you might as well find a day and let the managers of Zhuangzi from all over the country come to Beijing. If there are any omissions, there are some Anything wrong will be dealt with together." Lan Yuexi said. "Although it is a few small Zhuangzi, but if it spreads, it will hinder the family tradition. Let's wait for a while to try." Qin Yi thought for a while, made up his mind, and ordered people to settle down for the mute.

After Fang passed on the message, Danyan, a second-class maid, came and asked where to set up the meal.Qin Yi thought it was cold and he was too lazy to move, so he ordered: "It's cold in winter, so don't stick to any place, just put it in the east hall." Dan Yanfang went down and gave orders.Peiyu laughed and said, "Didn't you order people to repair the courtyard in the past, just like the previous dynasty, and build warm roads in several halls? If you think it's cold, you might as well use one or two places." Qin Yi said with a smile He said: "I didn't know anything before, I only knew how to do nonsense. This heater is easy to repair, but it's too extravagant to use. Let's order the little maid to add more heaters." Pei Yufang took the order and went.

After Qin Yi had his lunch, he went to the study to read, and Nong Yun followed him, grinding ink for him.Peiyu and Lanyue were busy counting and sorting the New Year's goods that were delivered, and distributed some ordinary things to the people in the yard according to their duties.Nongyun was left alone, embroidering on Luohan's bed, and he felt quite at ease.

Suddenly seeing Zisu, the maidservant next to the madam, she lifted the curtain and came in and said, "You girl, you are getting more delicate. You are so strange, what are you doing curled up on the bed?" Yi Zhu only smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, you I'm starting to make up the arrangement. I'm free, I just want to embroider a few stitches for fun." As he spoke, he turned his side on the bed, let Zisu sit down, and said, "You always talk about not being idle on weekdays, Why do you have time to come over today, can you see how my embroidery is?" Zisu then said with a smile: "I don't have time to spare, but it's almost the day of offering sacrifices to the kitchen stove, and it's time to make new clothes for the mansion as usual. But you also know that most young masters and ladies don’t like to wear clothes from the Knitting Academy. Madam can only send me to ask around, if there is anything that doesn’t bother me, I’ll pull out the fabric and make clothes everywhere.” "A few boxes of silk and satin sent by Lord Hou a few days ago are still sealed in the warehouse, and my wife wants to pick up the clothes again, but I don't know what clothes to use. Unfortunately, all the things sent are always made of various fabrics. It can't be finished, and it's inappropriate to give it to the servants, and it will be put in the warehouse for nothing." Yizhu frowned and sighed.

"My good sister, you said this because you are good to the master." Zisu looked around with a smile, and Fang said: "You haven't seen anyone else in the house, but you know, Aunt Wang. Yes, no matter what, she was favored, and gave birth to a sixth son. The day before yesterday I met Hu Po, who was next to her, and I asked privately before I found out that the things that Lord Hou sent someone to send were divided up by several old ladies. I only left a few things for appearance." Yi Zhu said strangely: "Didn't they just dismiss a few unclean women a while ago, why did someone dare to stretch out their hands again, and I'm not afraid that Aunt Wang will hear the wind." "I My good sister, you can't stay here, without the support of your wife, would those wives dare to touch Lord Hou's favorite concubine? Don't talk about withholding a few things, it's not a big deal to send them out like the West Mansion?" Zi As Su Qi said, Fang sneered again: "You can't be a wife if you are a Bodhisattva. After all, you are from the family of a lady. Now you are so kind and kind, but you are doing it for outsiders to see." Here, although there is no such thing as pampering concubines and destroying wives, there are many girls who are restless, if Madam has no means, how can the whole family be submissive." Yi Zhu said disapprovingly.Zisu took Yizhu's hand and said, "You said Ma'am was trying to suppress Aunt Wang, and she really underestimated Madam. Aunt Fang was more favored than Aunt Wang in the past, why didn't Madam pay much attention to her?"

"That's true. Aunt Fang is an old man around Master Hou, and she has given birth to a son and a daughter for Master Hou. Speaking of which, she is the happiest among the aunts in the house. It's not as unreasonable as this." Yi Zhu sighed. "Ma'am, why should anyone be suppressed? She's acting like this to make an example. Brother Xian's temperament is unstable. Although the eldest son doesn't care much about this title, it's hard to guarantee that other people don't think so. It's just right for her to use Aunt Wang to make her powerful." Well." Zisu said with a smile, and then carefully said: "You entered the mansion late, but I don't know the reason here. Madam was also a virtuous person at first, and the girls around Master Hou are worthy of a man. People, they were sent away, leaving only Aunt Fang as a show. Seeing that the old lady was indifferent, and listened to the instigation of several daughter-in-laws around her, she actually did a few scandalous things that hindered the family tradition, which angered the old lady. Jun cursed a lot, and was beaten up by Lord Hou, and was almost dismissed and went home, only then did he know what was going on."

"I've never heard of this. I only heard a few old people in the mansion say that no matter how kind the master in the mansion is, there are tricks. I just don't know about this matter." Yi Zhu said with a smile. "You can't make a show in front of the old matriarch. Although this kind of thing happened, it is the madam's own initiative, but it is also related to the reputation of the mansion. So the old matriarch dismissed all the people involved in this matter. Three generations of my family have worked in this mansion. I don’t know anything about the affairs of this mansion. If it weren’t for the sake of us being aunts and relatives, I wouldn’t want to tell you these things. You’ll be left alone flow." Zisu said dissatisfied, as if angry.Yizhufang put down the work in hand, smiled apologetically and said: "Good sister, I didn't know that I failed you, so don't be angry, I will remember your kindness?" She smiled and asked again: "What is the standard cloth for the new clothes this time?" Zisu said with a smile, "I heard it is made of brocade and brocade, and the cloth is still the same as in autumn, only two more cloak materials. "

She wanted to say more, but she heard the voice of the little maid outside: "Sister Peiyu, Sister Wenmo came to look for you earlier, but when she saw that you were not there, she went back." Peiyu asked, "What's the matter with her? " The little maid replied: "Seeing that Brother Wen likes to eat the seafood that I sent yesterday, she came to ask how much there is." Peiyu said, "I see, you can go down and play." Then he entered the house with a box in his hand.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Nongyun and Zisu sitting together. She smiled and said, "It's all done today. I'm going to find Zi girl, so I'll save time." Zisu and Peiyu used to enter the mansion together, But it was a friendship since childhood, so she smiled and said, "I see that you are also majestic, but you can't invite me anymore, but I have to come to the door." Peiyu put down the box hurriedly, and said with a smile, "You said What do you mean, is it because I look for you a lot, or you come a lot, are you just confused?" As he spoke, he stepped forward to play and laughed for a while, and the three of them made a fuss. Just give up.

Zisu stood up and straightened her hair, and asked, "Is there a mirror, let me clean it?" Peiyu smiled and said, "There is a mirror rouge in the warm pavilion in the east. If you don't think the things I use are bad, Let's reapply your makeup." Zisu said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with the things you use. Do you still have the dew you gave me a few days ago? Let me have a few more bottles." Peiyu pulled Zisu After going to the Nuan Pavilion, Yizhu also got up and said: "I'll go to tidy up together, so that the young master won't make jokes when he comes back." The three of them went together.
