A world of glory

Qi Xuan saw that Qin Yi's mood was slightly relieved, and he didn't seem to do it reluctantly, and asked with a smile: "Brother Qin ordered people to build an embankment at the bottom of the slope. Flowers and trees are planted everywhere, but the 'Qin embankment' is full of flowers."

Hearing this, Qin Yi said with a smile: "Brother Qi, just joke around. After a severe drought, there will be a severe flood. Don't look at the embankment that is still strong, but it is built of earth and cannot withstand wind and waves. If you don't hurry up and build it, today's embankment will be destroyed." Zhuangshang can still help others, but when the flood hits tomorrow, I can only ask God to open his eyes."

Qi Xuan picked up the peach leaf cup, lowered his head to taste the name, heard the words and raised his head with a smile: "According to Brother Qin's background, there are only one or two Zhuangzi under his name, why do you need to plan like this?" Qin Yi was about to speak, but Zhaoying entered He came to the house and said with a smile: "I have found the medicine, and I am also looking for a bottle of elixir that I couldn't find before. I don't know when I let it go." He also held a blue and white porcelain plate in his hand. Put a sapphire auspicious cloud bottle and two plates of fine dim sum.

When Qin Yi heard the word "elixir", he felt a little puzzled, and saw Zhaoying come in with a snack, and said with a smile: "Today, it's fine to talk about poetry and papers, but I just chat for a few words, and I don't think it's a waste of time." If you come back tomorrow, you have to ask Brother Qi carefully."

Hearing Qin Yi's words, Qi Xuan laughed and said, "How can I ask for advice? I'm just a man from the mountains, and I can't do anything but general in poetry and prose. As long as Brother Qin is well versed in the past and the present, the articles he writes should be elegant and pleasant."

Qin Yi smiled and said: "Brother Qi prefers to tell jokes, but today I should read Brother Qi's article. It must be the best text in the world. It will be passed down through the ages, not to mention the success of the toad palace."

As soon as these words came out, Qi Xuan's eyes darkened, and he said again: "But I never said that there was a family precept in the ancestors, and the descendants of the Qi family were not allowed to take the imperial examination to become officials. The hard work of winning laurel is only for Brother Qin to do gone."

At dusk, Lanyue came into the house with a bunch of thin brochures. Seeing Yizhu leaning on the couch, embroidering handkerchiefs, she put the brochures down, and said bitterly, "There are hundreds of people in the brochures, not only do they have to be coiled." The relatives at home, what else do you do with in-laws, it’s so annoying." Yi Zhu smiled sweetly when he heard this, and only joked: "If it wasn't hard work, why would you take it on, but let people enjoy leisure. "Lan Yue said with a smile: "Don't even think about being idle. I manage all these books by myself, and I don't know when they will go. Since you are idle, don't even think about being lazy. You should also help arrange them. That's right."

Yizhu lost the embroidery stand, got up and approached, poured a cup of tea, and said: "Just look at the roster in the courtyard, what's the use of it, there are dozens of people outside, if you really check carefully, I'm afraid there will be no one." It won't work in a year and a half."

Lanyue spread out a booklet and said with a smile: "We don't care about the outside. My son ordered others to take care of it. Only the matter in the yard is not like checking the roster in previous years, marking it, and then it's over." Today, the young master specially ordered it, but it is difficult to say, just such people who have children in the family, I don’t know how many people are closely related, and there are also people who come in from outside, whether they are from aristocratic families, or they are sent in by dignitaries. If you want to investigate, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack, it’s really embarrassing.”

Yizhu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "You are usually clever, but today you are stupid. If you come with me, you will take care of those who wait in the room first, and then take care of those who are in charge of various duties. Let the girl and mother-in-law take care of it when you have free time. After the left and right spring, we will not stay in the mansion for a long time, even if we don't move out."

Lanyue thought about it carefully, and only smiled: "That's not the reason. If Chunwei releases the official, who will take care of this matter again, but don't pick the important place to deal with it first."

Just as he was talking, Peiyu lifted the curtain and came into the room. As soon as he entered the room, he smiled and said, "Where did you put the engraved seal of Tian Huangshi? I couldn't find it when I needed it urgently." Lanyue smiled and said, "It's on the side of the cabinet It's in the red brocade box, why, but something happened, the seal was about to be moved."

Peiyu took out the box and said angrily, "I don't know what's going on recently. Things happened one after another. Yesterday, the two ladies were in charge, and the second grandma got angry and arrested her. Just now, they are still under trial. Some people said that Aunt Lin, who went out the other day, is gone today, but her daughter took her job and took care of the flowers and trees in the yard, so she also went out in the yard, so she should be rewarded with a few taels of silver. The account book is divided, and the money can only be obtained by printing, so I don’t have to go there. The ones in the mansion can imitate the right cards, but there is no imitation in the courtyard.”

Lanyue covered her sleeves with a smile, and said: "You are more cautious. Speaking of which, the young master is too lenient. There is a quota in the mansion for the servants who go out, but in our yard, we not only rewarded money, but also granted permission to the family members." Going back for seven days, I can't find it even with a lantern. I was born in the yard, and I was a little confused. I didn't say kindness, and there were quite a few who turned kindness into hatred. According to my words, it's better to drive them out for a while. One, it’s all about being clean.”

Peiyu opened the box, and after hearing this, she understood in her heart, and said with a quick smile: "Don't say that, the person who nominated Dao's surname earlier made me unhappy. The short-tongued words haven't come to an end yet. You mention this again, but you have to be arranged again. The family in the house has a child, you know, it is a decent life for several lifetimes, how can we just throw it away at will. The ones sent from outside are even more extraordinary. That one didn't come out of the dignitary's mansion, besides the young master who opened his mouth, even the second mistress has to keep a respectful distance, and can't move easily."

After hearing this, Lanyue only frowned and pouted, without speaking for a while.But Yizhu laughed, and said: "Sister Peiyu sees it clearly. Seriously speaking, let alone the mansion, even the courtyard is getting worse than before. Some people always remember a few words in the past. I don’t dare to do it again, but now I’ve been disciplined a little bit, and it’s just a rumor, which can make people worry, and I don’t know where it came from, it’s just funny.”

Peiyu didn't say much, just smiled and said: "That's not the case. It would be better if it was tighter, but if it is a little wider, it will make more nonsense, which is quite exasperating." Saying that, she turned to Yizhu He smiled and said: "I asked Nongyun to go to Linbo Pavilion for me before, but I don't know if this girl is lost. If you are free, go and look for it."

"Who gets lost, if you are in the mansion, you can't tell the difference between south, east and north. If you go out tomorrow, you don't have to report to the official to find someone." Qin Yi came into the room with a smile, and said jokingly. He laughed and said: "I was talking about Nongyun, I don't know where the madness has gone, and I haven't seen anyone come back all afternoon?"

Yi Zhu stepped forward to untie Qin Yi's cloak with a smile, and only said: "Not only Nongyun, but the young master is also a lazy bird returning home. Just now, the old lady sent someone to deliver things, and then asked why the young master is not in the mansion. Fortunately, I passed by." Qin Yi frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked with a smile: "What did you send, did you send someone back?" After speaking, he sat on the couch, and took the package that Lanyue handed over. Teacup.

Peiyu said with a smile: "It's just some medicinal materials such as bird's nest, ginseng, and Shouwu. They are all top-grade." After speaking, he lifted the curtain and went out.Yizhu ordered the servant girl to bring in water, and while serving Qin Yi to wash, he said: "Not only did the things come, the old lady also sent someone to say that Master Huining from Jihe'an will come to the mansion to give a lecture. If you have nothing to do, the young master will go to see you, I heard that Master Hui Ning is quite knowledgeable in medicine, maybe he prescribed a prescription and cured the young master's illness."

Qin Yi lowered his eyes slightly, and said indifferently: "I'm going to the General's Mansion tomorrow, but I don't have the chance, I'll just wait until later." Before the words were finished, a little girl passed the word outside the door: " Second Mistress, please go over there, Eldest Young Master." Lan Yue closed the booklet and said with a smile: "I really answered Pei Yu's words, today's events happen one after another."

Yizhu ordered someone to bring out the basin, and hurriedly took out a moon-white peony gauze robe with tangled branches, and helped Qin Yi change, and said with a smile: "I knew I was going to go, and I wasn't too busy changing clothes before. I don't know what's up with Second Grandma, but I'll just send someone to bring a message and it's over, why bother to ask the young master to go over there."

Qin Yi smiled slightly, took out the folding fan, played with the warm fan pendant, and said with a smile: "But I'm confused. In the past, it was just a matter of passing on a few words. It's just a matter of sending someone away. Today must be something. That's why you invited me over." Seeing Yizhu nodding his head slightly, he ordered again: "Where did I get that set of glazed dolls I got a while ago, and I took it out, I'll take it with me."

In the courtyard of Shandeju, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stood on the ground, and there were seven or eight daughter-in-law in charge kneeling in front of them, all with fluffy buns and anxious expressions.The second wife was sitting on the grand teacher's chair, holding a teacup in her hand, Yaohua and Xuanzhen stood behind, holding an umbrella and fanning the second wife.

The second wife flicked the teacup with the cup lid, looked at the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law in the yard with a sneer, swept around, then raised her voice, and said calmly: In the past, I was said to be unreasonable, and I smiled at the king of Hades. I have heard of the name, and I only make wood sculptures and clay sculptures, and I don't like theory.I just thought about it, you grandmas became more and more wanton, and you really regarded me as a clay bodhisattva in that temple. One or two are acting out of their temper, forgetting things today, and bickering tomorrow, I will be lenient.But this wide, I feel more and more troublesome, relying on my own decency, I am going to come up with crooked ideas. Today I want to investigate and try to find out my innocence. Let's see who is making trouble here?How decent and courageous you are, when you come to the front, you still say you are wronged with red lips and white teeth.It seems that the house is full of innocent people, but I am the only one who makes a lot of trouble out of nothing.
