A world of glory

I chatted for a while while I was idle, and after lunch, I pointed out some deficiencies in Brother Wen's homework. Seeing that the sun was about to faint, I sent the two little maids and roughly ordered the mother-in-law to send Brother Wen back.After reading the book lazily for a while, Qin Yisu put down the book, spread the paper, and practiced calligraphy.After this practice, he was fascinated, and the sun was setting and he gave up his hands with unsatisfactory intentions.

"My lord's handwriting is getting better and better, but when I write it, I don't care about my temperament, so let's change it. This writing will take an afternoon, which is exhausting and hurting the body." Peiyu persuaded softly. "Of course I know." Qin Yi smiled slightly, then turned to Lanyue and said, "By the way, tomorrow is the birthday of Mr. Qin in the family school, and you are also an exquisite person on weekdays, so prepare a gift for this birthday too." In the end, it can be regarded as my teacher." "I have prepared all of them, a scroll of calligraphy and painting by Kong Qingzi, and a set of four treasures of the study, all of which are Duanyanhu brushes. I have prepared according to the share of previous years." Yizhu smiled slightly replied.

After speaking, Qin Yi remembered that he hadn't had dinner, and ordered the second-class maid waiting outside the door to deliver the meal.Let's not mention it here.Although this Jingpinghou Mansion is said to be the result of meritorious service in the founding of the country, most of the descendants inherited from it are mediocre.Although it is not to the point that in the Red Mansion, except for the two stone lions at the door, there are no clean people.But the luxurious and flashy style of the nobility is not far behind. Fortunately, the population of the Jingping Hou Mansion is not large, and it is only a three-bedroom population. The old lady has three sons in her life, and the eldest son is a descendant.The second son was born by his aunt who was a dowry, and his biological mother passed away early, and he was also raised by the old lady's side, just like his own.The third son was born to a servant girl, and although he raised his aunt, he was still raised by his biological mother's side, and naturally he was not close to the old lady. Once the old Hou Ye left, he searched for fame and went to the south early.The first emperor missed the past, and awarded his second son a title. Although the hereditary line is decreasing, it still blocked the mouths of many people.When the general of the town was rewarded, he originally wanted to choose another place to resettle, but the late emperor thought that the old matriarch was old and could not bear to be separated from his family, so he gave another house connected to the Jingping Hou's mansion as a gift. He came down and settled the family of General Zhen Guo.So one side is in the east, so it is called Dongfu.One side is in the west, so it is called Xifu.Although this Lord Hou is the old matriarch's own son, but because Mrs. Hou was not liked by the old matriarch because of his birth, and Lord Hou has been away for many years, the relationship between mother and son is not as good as that of the second son.Although the old matriarch lives in the East Mansion, her heart is a little towards the West Mansion, and the eldest daughter-in-law is inevitably a little dissatisfied.It's just that she is a virtuous person, and she must uphold filial piety, so she is not easy to talk about.

The second son has no other problems, he just likes to be promiscuous, and he had eight children before he was 40 years old, the oldest one fell ill and died early, and the second son was a matchmaker made by Mrs. Dongfu, who married her natal cousin Niece, that is a smart person, coaxing everyone in the mansion not to like it, even the old matriarch specially invited the couple to come to the East Mansion to take care of the big and small affairs of the East Mansion.It is the second wife mentioned in the preface.

This East Mansion is headed by Qin Yi, and there are three younger brothers and two younger sisters below, the youngest brother is still breastfeeding, and the two younger sisters, Feixue and Feiyu, are raised by the old matriarch.Madam only raised her brother Xian who was born by her own son, while brother Wen was raised by her aunt, no one to control her.The population of this Xifu is much more complicated. The eldest brother Ren died early, followed by brother Xin who married his wife's niece, donated a supervisor, and became a member of the official department.The next one is a sister, her boudoir name is Feishuang, who married far away to the southwest.The next brother Kuan, Hui Geer and Wen Geer are about the same size, and he is still studying at home.There are also three younger sisters, two are eight or nine years old, one is Feixia, one is Feiyan, and one is only one or two years old, Feilu.Here in Xifu, because brother Xin got married too early, he had a sister named Biluan early on.And since last year, General Zhen Guo has been obsessed with mysticism, and he lives in the Taoist temple for more than half a year. The beauty he liked in the past has turned into a woman with a dry bone, and I don't know how much trouble he has saved.

There are no more than a dozen people in these two mansions, but there are hundreds of servants in charge, and each young lady has four personal maids, eight second-class maids, and twelve coarse envoys. Huan, the rule of the six rough envoys, not to mention the fact that each son should have two more accompanying servants, and the number of six servants, it is not known that Qin Yi cares about Yu Yi's side like this When there are more little maids and kabukis sent by others, the mansion accepts more servants, but no one specifically specifies that they will be given to a certain brother.

Fortunately, Qin Yi has always planned for a rainy day, and he has set up a lot of fields in the south and the north early, and he has made a good relationship with the military behind the scenes. Even when the current emperor is short of money for the war, he also turned a few corners and came out. He came up with a few money-making ideas, consolidated the position of the new emperor, and left a little good impression.Of course, he made a lot of money himself, not to mention other things, at least he can be called a golden mountain, but he didn't say it clearly, most of the people in the mansion thought it was the money given to him by the general, although it was a lot, it was also worth it. It's nothing.

In the early morning of the next day, Qin Yi was quite tired, and for some reason last night, he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, and only squinted for a while at dawn.While she was still cleaning her hands, a servant girl with a hanging cloud bun, an emerald green shirt, and a white silk embroidered skirt came to invite Qin Yi to speak.

Although the servant girl was only handsome, she spoke with a bit of sharpness.First, I greeted Qin Yi, and then said: "Yesterday, there was a commotion in the mansion for a while, and a few servants who did not know their identities were sent away. The second wife thought that the young masters must have people around them, so Ask the steward to bring in a few pleasing family members, please come and have a look." Qin Yi took the tea from Peiyu, took a sip, and said slowly: "There is no shortage of people in my yard. I heard that the people around my younger brothers and sisters were a bit unruly, so I might as well change all of them according to my temperament. To save money, the slaves born in the family are more noble than the young master and young lady." " The eldest son is joking." The maid said with a smile.Qin Yi sipped tea for a while, and said in dialect: "You go back to the second sister-in-law, I will go to see it later, and I will thank her for her hard work." After saying that, someone took a silver tree and gave it to her as a reward. The servant girl who sent the message.

After eating, Qin Yi first went to Huicitang to ask for the old lady's greetings, and then went to his wife's place.But I saw one or two daughters-in-law, who sent letters from their wives' natal brothers and several boxes of gifts.Qin Yi just sat down for a while, answered a few words, and then headed towards Zhutao Pavilion where Brother Wen lived.The lady of the Houfu was originally surnamed Zhou, but she was from a prominent family, originally from a family of the previous dynasty.It's just that since the establishment of the new dynasty, the aristocratic families of the previous dynasty have gradually declined.But the Zhou family didn't say anything else, Yifeng Shengyi's ability is pretty good.Although the family situation has declined a lot, at least he still has a place in the court, but his reputation outside is not very good.The eldest son chosen by the old lady was originally the youngest daughter of the former Shang Shuling, a lady from a great family with outstanding family background, virtue and appearance.For some reason, the Zhou family invited the concubine to give her a marriage, so they had to marry this woman who was worthless in the eyes of the old matriarch except for her good family background.Logically, Mrs. Zhou was born in a family in the previous dynasty, and her family education and conduct are very good. Although her appearance is old now, she still has the same charm as before.

But he said that Qin Yi left his wife's yard and headed for Zhutao Pavilion.The Zhutao Pavilion originally didn't occupy much land, but there were only seven or eight houses. Some bamboos were planted in the yard, leading a stream of flowing water to flow around the canal. A few clumps of orchid grass, green vines covered the courtyard wall, and a few small blue flowers bloomed.Entering the yard, passing a corner door, and seeing the house.Several little maids who were laughing in the yard all lowered their heads when they saw Qin Yi, and bowed to salute without mentioning it.

When he entered the room, he saw Brother Wen lying on the bed, a maidservant with jade skin and a beautiful face was fanning him, and when she saw Qin Yi coming in, she hurriedly got up and saluted.Qin Yi waved his hand, and before he could say anything, Brother Wen got up.He was still sleepy, and said coquettishly, "Brother, you are here. We are still thinking about you!" After speaking, he said to the maid beside him, "Xiuying, go and pour tea." Xiuying Fang went. "What about the other maids in your room? Leave Xiuying alone to serve you." Qin Yi asked gently. "There were four maids by my side. Jinhe and Luliu were assigned by my wife a few days ago. Aunt Fang was unwell yesterday, and Jade was a bit clumsy. I was a little worried, so I asked Lianhen to take care of her. Anyway There are not many people in this yard." Brother Wen said with a smile. "It doesn't take many people." Qin Yifang wanted to say something, and he heard a servant girl outside say, "Second Miss is here." Before he finished speaking, one of them was wearing a flowing cloud bun, and a white jade hibiscus hairpin was adorned on his hair. A few gemstones and pearl flowers, a white silk skirt embroidered with pear blossoms reaching the ground, a light green Gu embroidered dress, and a water blue cloak, a soft, delicate and charming immature girl. After walking in, seeing Qin Yi here, he put on a bow and saluted, looked at Brother Wen and said softly: "I heard from Li Hen that something happened in your house, and seeing big brother here today, I think it is I'm worrying too much, you've always been a sensible person, and you won't be disobedient." "Sister Xue, sit down and talk about it. Although it's sunny today, it's still a bit chilly. Your body is weak and you can't bear the cold. Why don't you?" Be careful." Qin Yi smiled and cared, and asked Lanyue, who was following, to hand in his purple gold hand stove and hand it over to Feixue.
