A world of glory

Back in the garden, the old lady ordered someone to order "Changshenglu", and the actors on the stage were heavily made up and sang in a melodious and twisted manner.Seeing Qin Yi's return, the second wife asked with a smile: "Oh, brother Yi is back, which way can you see the distinguished guests from the gods?" , are all on the stage, and you should go up and sing a song, just to ask for a blessing." Qin Yi said with a smile: "It's Lin Shixiong from Nanning Nangong's mansion, just for the sake of a chance, so I went to see you See you." Hearing Qin Yi say that someone is coming, Madam just held the cup, drinking tea and listening to the opera, without moving a muscle.

The old lady smiled and said: "Ningnan Gongfu, but it is also an old friendship for many years. Since you have come to the mansion, you should come in and see it. Why don't you dislike my old lady?" Qin Yi said with a smile: "Brother Lin Shi Fan came to Beijing, but he came here for business, and he is still talking with his father in the front study." The second wife said with a smile: "What's the big deal, his old man is still there, and he has made several generations of merit Speaking of which, it’s nothing but busy.”

Hearing the madam cover her face and laugh, the old lady also pointed to the second wife and said: "The girl who should slap her, this can also be arranged. The more people like us, the more cautious we should be, and we should be cautious in our words and deeds. " Then he asked Qin Yi, "Have you found out what's the matter?" Qin Yi replied with a smile, "It's about the Gao family in Yunzhou. If something happened to the Gao family, the Lin family is in-laws, so how can they stand by and watch?"

After hearing this, the old lady just smiled and said: "The Gao family in Yunzhou climbed up to Ningnan Gongfu back then, and relying on Ningnan Gongfu, it has gradually grown up. It's just that Gao's family was not decent at first, and so were the children of the clan. Most of them are dandies, and few of them keep their own place." Looking at his wife thoughtfully, he said with a smile: "The Gao family's misfortune has to be solved by Ningnan Gongfu. The Lin family couldn't let go. According to the old woman, marrying a daughter-in-law not only needs to be of the same family, but also depends on the family style. Like the Gao family, even if there is a good one, it will be dragged down. "

The second wife laughed and said: "I heard what the old lady said. It's strange that people say that if there is an old man in the family, it is like having a treasure. Look at the old lady's calculations. Brother Xian is only a full year old, but he even counts the marriage. It seems more and more us If you're dumb, don't listen too much, you're also very smart." The old lady laughed and said, "If you're an idiot, there won't be any smart people in this world. If you keep being smart, you'll probably grow your tail." When the words came out, everyone in the room laughed.

After chatting for a while, the old lady was also a little tired, so she smiled and said to his wife: "Let's watch them having a good time eating and drinking, and don't let the young ones get drunk and be punished by their father." He agreed, and said to Mrs. Gu: "I'm old, so I can't stay with you for a long time, and let your sister accompany you." Fang took Caiyun's hand and led the people back to the house to rest.

After returning to the house, the old lady was sitting on a low-foot couch with red sandalwood inlaid with jade bat and chime pattern, leaning on the lead pillow, looking out the window with dazed eyes at the lotus vat.Caiyun held the tea and said with a smile: "Old lady, drink some tea." Put the tea on the small table in front of the bed, and ordered the little girl to fetch water.The old lady Yin said: "Why didn't Yuye and Huanhua disappear? They became more and more lazy, and they went out and never came back."

After hearing this, Caiyun smiled and said, "Why did the old lady forget the errands she ordered. They must have been stuck helping the two girls to manage the affairs, so they must have come back late." After hearing this, the old lady, Then he said: "I think about it, it's not an errand, anyway, you act according to the rules, you have been with me for so many years, if you can't even take care of this errand, it's better to go out."

When Caiyun heard this, she hurriedly laughed and said: "There are so many people in the mansion today, you can't take care of them when you want this and take that at other times. Besides, the little girl and mother-in-law are inevitably careless. Since they have taken this job, if they ignore it It's done, how can I come back to deal with business."

Hearing Caiyun's words, the old lady hurriedly said: "That's very true, and it's true when I think about it." As soon as the words fell, Yuye and Huanhua lifted the curtain and entered the room with unhappy expressions, but they didn't speak.Yuye took the beauty hammer and beat the old lady's calf.Suddenly someone from outside the house brought something, Huanhua took the food box, put the fruit and vegetables on the small case, bowed his head and said: "This is sent by the order of the second master."

The old lady narrowed her eyes, took a look, and said with a smile: "He is filial." Then she looked at Huanhua and asked, "I see two girls as directors today. Is there a charter?" What the wife meant, she just said: "The two girls are the first time directors. Although they don't understand much, they have made progress. It's just that if the names are not correct and the words are not right, they will inevitably make things difficult." Someone is restless."

Yu Ye raised her head and smiled, and said: "The old lady is really sharp-eyed. Logically, our house should also be rectified, not to mention that there are even imitations of the right cards today. Even the eldest son's yard has always been fortified with iron walls. But I heard from Peiyu that the Eldest Young Master ordered someone to set up another medicine storehouse, thinking about it, it’s not like there is no wind and waves.”

The old lady only smiled when she heard this, and said slowly, "Brother Yi, I don't know about this, but is there an introduction?" Caiyun has served the old lady for a long time, knowing that the old lady might be angry, He hurriedly said: "A few days ago, the eldest son was not well, and he was stubborn not to invite a doctor. Peiyu came over, but the second mistress met at that time, so he didn't disturb the old lady. Thinking about it, the eldest son also There are often three disasters and six diseases, I'm afraid I have heard some gossip."

The old lady sighed, and said: "Brother Yi has always been a careful and serious person. He only has a few gossips, but it's not like that. Something must have happened. He is a filial man, and he doesn't want to worry about these things. Toss, if you can bear it, bear it, but I have wronged this child." Sighing again, he said to Caiyun: "It is better to set up another medicine storehouse, I remember that there are still some medicines rewarded by the palace in the cabinet, You can send it for me, and see if there is any restlessness along the way." After hearing the old lady's order, Caiyun hurriedly responded, only going out to fetch medicine and deliver things without mentioning it.

The old lady took another sip of tea, and said to Yu Ye: "In the past, there were still a few old people who came and went frequently, and since they went out, they didn't come in very often. You should also pass on a message to let Nanny Qin The old mother of their generation, come in and talk to me."

Yu Ye said with a smile: "Why don't you come in often? Mother Qin just gave gifts yesterday. There are so many guests and friends, it's not easy to come in. I just wait for tomorrow to celebrate Brother Xian's birthday."

The old lady Fang nodded, and said with a smile: "She has always been caring, and she is worthy of a master and a servant." After a pause, she looked around, and ordered: "The matter of the eldest son setting up the medicine storehouse, don't make it public. , if Master Hou finds out, you don’t have to stay anymore.”

The dimly lit candle flickered, the golden osmanthus was fragrant, and there was a faint fragrance. Qianqian held the wick in her hand, and her soft voice seemed to be muttering to herself: "It's such a coincidence that the person from Jingsongyuan met, and the news spread again." Arrived at Shande Residence."

A figure was reflected on the screen window, swaying with the wind, and replied: "That's not the case. If I had known that that man was always playing tricks, I shouldn't have taken advantage of him before. Since I made a move, I simply let him go with his old lady." The soft and charming voice smiled softly, the laughter was extremely pleasant, like pearls falling on a jade plate, and after laughing for a while, Fang said: "If it is so simple, why should I bother, since the layout is complete, I just wait to sit on the sidelines." ’” The figure said again: “Just for today’s matter, where is Shande living, how should he act?”

The hand that was holding the wick paused, a spark bloomed, and in a soft voice, she whispered softly: "Since the beginning and the end are over, don't worry about him, only the Jingsongyuan side, it's time to stop the medicine. Just waiting for the opening of this big play in the mansion. After all, this role is already ready." The cold wind blew, and the delicate voice lingered, like a nightworm mourning, almost inaudible.

In the early morning of the next day, Qin Yi was reclining on the couch, watching Lanyue watering the flowers and Peiyu grinding ink at the desk.Qin Yi looked at it for a while, and saw that although the trees in the garden were shady and dense, they couldn't block the scorching sun.Thinking of this, Qin Yi smiled slightly and asked: "What I ordered a while ago was done properly. Although it's not an important matter, there was a disturbance yesterday, so it should be done urgently. "

Yizhu was embroidering flowers. Hearing Qin Yi's words, he just smiled and said: "How can it be so fast, not to mention that although the maids in the yard are not over a hundred, they are almost gone. They are related to the mansion. There are already a lot, and there are also those sent from outside the mansion, which is even more difficult to understand. The ones from outside the mansion are fine, but the ones sent from the mansion are all born in the family. Yes. It’s either an old man from several generations of ancestors, or he’s involved with the housekeepers, so it’s okay to only check one or two, for such a mobilizing teacher, I often listen to jokes and jokes.”

Lanyue came into the house, cleaned her hands in a carved silver basin, and said with a sneer: "What kind of joke is it? I only dare to complain in private. If you really dare to make a scene, don't be ashamed when the time comes, you will know what it is." It's called regret." Yi Zhu embroidered a few stitches with a smile, and then said: "It's only you who say so, no matter how much you make a fuss, you are still in this mansion, if you really feel uneasy, you can just drive them out, why bother to let people see joke."

Hearing this, Peiyu stopped writing, and said with a smile: "Yizhu girl, but she is a calm person. She only knows how to be kind and considerate, but she doesn't know the details of this place. I have seen many tricks such as killing people with swords and igniting fire with wind." , no matter how much you care about it, you should make up for it, so as not to cause others to bear a bad name in vain."

As soon as the words came out, Lanyue covered her sleeves and smiled, and said: "You just arrange it, I'm not that good-natured, just don't regret it in the future."
