Chapter 042 A Good Idea

A thief like He Qiao came out of Shaoxiu Academy, causing Yinhu to lose his temper, and even He Qiao committed suicide in prison but failed to quell his anger.Fortunately, he has cultivated a forbearing and stable temperament since he was a child, even a personal servant like Chen Xi who has served Yinhu for more than ten years can't see that his master is still burning with anger.

"Great chrysanthemum tea, which is a new tribute this autumn, please drink a cup." Seeing that Yinhu's expression was still a little displeased, Wan Ning quickly motioned for Hu Po and Huamei to go out, sat behind Yinhu and pressed his shoulders, "My lord looks a little tired , but there are too many court affairs recently?" Apart from the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, the emperor ordered Yinhu to assist the sick Prince Yu in managing the Guangshan Treasury, which undoubtedly increased Yinhu's workload.

"The things in the court are not tiring." Yinhu rubbed his forehead, "It's just that our house has not been safe since autumn." It was said that Zhan's foot was sprained at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet and almost fell down. The insider thief was found in Shaoxiu Academy.No matter it is Yuqing Palace or the elder brothers' mansion outside the branch mansion, there are not so many complicated things.

"There are no minor situations in the house, so why should I keep them in mind." Wan Ning rested her head on Yinhu's generous back, "It is said that painting a tiger's skin is difficult to paint, knowing the face but not the heart. Follow along with the girl Qiao I have been around me for so many years, I still don't know what kind of person she is. My master is busy outside every day, so how can I know everything about the internal affairs like the palm of my hand? Besides, although Chen Xi and Nanny Guan are ordered by the master to manage the affairs of the mansion, Chen After all, Xi has to follow Grandpa to take care of her, and Nunnery Guan has to take care of Zhan's stomach during this time, so it's conceivable that she can't take care of everything."

"You can talk." Yinhu naturally wouldn't say that his third brother Yinzhi made fun of him today, "But this time I know that our mansion is not as stable as I imagined."

"My lord means," Wan Ning rolled her eyes and said in a low voice, "There are nails in our house?"

Yinhu just smiled slightly, and Wanning understood the meaning of his smile.He stroked the white jade wrench on his thumb: "It seems that the house needs to make a big move."

It seems that Yinhu is in a bad mood these days not only because of these bad things in the mansion, but also because of the anger of the people who found out that they were cheating.However, if he can take advantage of the incident with Joe at this time, and thoroughly investigate the entire Baylor House, maybe he can clear out the unruly people lurking in his yard as soon as possible as soon as possible.But after thinking about it, Wan Ning still didn't say anything. After all, it would definitely be a big move to conduct a thorough investigation in the whole house. If Zhan Shi, who was raising a baby, was alarmed, then she would be blamed.

"You don't have to be so angry, just order Chen Xi to conduct a thorough investigation in secret. Although this will always make people feel uncomfortable, it is not a day or two for those people who eat inside and outside the mansion. Now we can only bear it for now. " Wan Ning comforted, "Besides, Zhan is still pregnant, so it's not appropriate to make a big show of it. If it alarms her, it will not be good for her or the child in her belly."

Yinhu frowned slightly.

"My lord also said that some people in the mansion have been dishonest recently. Aren't you afraid that they will take the opportunity to deal with your heirs?"

The incident of Zhan's fall can't possibly be a strange thing. Yinhu himself has understood this fact in the palace for so many years, but it happened in the palace, and it was the Queen Mother's birthday. Who would work hard for such a terrible thing?Although Concubine Hui and Concubine Liang attached great importance to it, Concubine Tong was the number one in the palace now, so Concubine Hui had to restrain herself a bit.It will take some time for Concubine Liang to investigate.

"Then follow what you said, first let someone investigate secretly." Yinhu lowered his eyes.He has never had any grudges with others, but if someone provokes him, he is not easy to bully!

The atmosphere in Babeile Mansion is like a dark vortex flowing down a calm river. Guo Luoluo has a ghost in his heart who dare not interfere with the affairs of Shaoxiu Academy, so he can only watch Chen Xi arrange all the staff of Shaoxiu Academy, which is suspicious All those with signs were transferred to the outer courtyard, leaving only familiar old people around Wanning and Hu Tuli.

In mid-November, Zhan's body, who had been recuperating from his injuries, was finally safe, and Wanning finally saw Zhan, who had been recuperating for a long time.She looked ruddy, and her figure was much plump. With the help of Qiu Ju, she supported her waist and slowly bowed to Guo Luoluo and Wanning.Her belly is not very obvious yet, but a slight curvature can already be seen.

"Get up, Rose, sit down." Guo Luoluo's eyes flickered a few times before smiling, his eyes fixed on Zhan's stomach, "It's been five months, how does your body feel now?"

"During this period of time, Nanny Guan is looking after her, and the medicinal herbs sent by Fujin are warming her body. This servant feels much better." Zhan smiled slightly, but she still dared not look directly at Guo Luoluo.It would be a lie to say that she is not afraid in her heart. She was able to conceive because Guo Luoluo persuaded Yinhu to go to her yard a few days ago, but she turned around and kept it from Guo Luoluo. From Roche's point of view, this is completely unforgivable.

"That's good, everyone in the house is watching your baby." Guo Luoluo smiled and glanced at Lang again, "There are still five months. If you give birth to the heir of the eighth master safely, before the eighth master The promise naturally came true. But I saw that your belly is smaller than when my sister was pregnant before, what do you think, sister?" She turned to ask Wanning.

Wan Ning originally planned to be a silent existence today, but she didn't want Guo Luoluo to ask her what she meant.Although Zhan's stomach is a little smaller than when she was pregnant with Hutuli, Zhan's body is thin and weak. She was frightened and recuperated before, so she has to pay attention to many things she eats, and it is very difficult to gain weight. normal.She turned her beautiful eyes, coughed while pinching the handkerchief, and said: "I don't understand it very well, but Jang Gege's body is delicate, and it's very common for my stomach to look a little smaller than before. It's better to ask the imperial physician to carefully Make adjustments for Jang Gege."

Wan Ning didn't take the bait, and Guo Luoluo didn't care, he just told Dou Kou: "This is the menu I drew up after discussing with the imperial doctor and the cook. From now on, you will follow this menu for all your meals. I have already asked the master for instructions." , he also agreed, and tomorrow a craftsman will come to your yard to open up a small kitchen for you. Your monthly provision will also be provided according to the Shufujin monthly provision. , the title of Shu Fu Jin will be yours sooner or later."

As soon as this remark came out, not to mention Lang and Qi Jia, even Wanning looked sideways.

It seemed that they couldn't do it secretly, so Guo Luoluo changed his strategy and provided all the good ones in the mansion to Zhan's. It seemed that he wanted to see who could not sit still or Qi Jia's first.

Wan Ning glanced at the menu, all of which are nourishing and nourishing, abalone wing belly is complete, and there is rock sugar bird's nest after dinner every night, and various stewed soups are changed every two days, although These are beneficial to the body, but if you eat them continuously like this, I'm afraid it will be too much.Wanning withdrew her eyes and glanced at Guo Luoluo, lowering her eyes slightly.

Her mother told her when she was pregnant that if she eats too much and does not exercise often, the fetus will grow bigger and bigger in the future, and it will be difficult to give birth when it is time to give birth.Guo Luoluo seems to be thinking about Zhan, but in case the fetus is too big and difficult to deliver, even if it is necessary to make a choice, Yinhu can only choose to keep the child even if he is reluctant.Once Zhan's is gone, Guo Luoluo can not only get rid of this thorn in his side once and for all, but also raise Zhan's children by his side.

Mrs. Zhan didn't seem to see Guo Luoluo's plan, but happily took the menu and thanked her with a smile.

"Master, Qi Jiagege is waiting outside, saying that he has brought a newly made purse and wants to show the master." Thrush brewed tea and placed it by Wanning's hand, and said in a low voice.

"Let her come in." Wan Ning took a sip of Lu'an tea and nodded.

It was the first time for Qi Jiashi to step into Shaoxiu Courtyard.Seeing that although the courtyard is not as big as the main courtyard, it is patchwork, with exquisite pavilions and pavilions, which shows the hard work of the craftsmen.She lowered her head halfway, but she assumed in her heart that this side Fujin was indeed as favored as in the legend, no wonder Fujin was even afraid of it.But today, Fujin is willing to see her, does it mean that her low-key and calm these past few months have played a role?

"Sit down." Wan Ning asked Qi Jia to move a soft stool over, smiling.

"I shouldn't bother Fang Fujin at this time," Qi Jia said with a smile on Yan Yan, "but I just learned a needle technique, so I can't wait to come and ask Fang Fujin for advice." He took out one from the embroidery basket The purse, embroidered with the pattern of hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren, was handed over to Wan Ning, "I intended to make this for Sister Zhan, let Fujin see how I did?"

Wan Ning glanced at Qi Jiashi pointingly, played with the purse casually, and said with a smile: "The design is a good intention, but now is not the right time. Zhan Shi has just recovered, and it is not appropriate to go now." Go and give gifts to congratulate, so as not to disturb the cleanliness of others. After all, Fujin values ​​Zhan's child very much now, if someone bumps into him, if Fujin is not happy, he will make the master angry."

"What Chu Fujin said is that the concubine has been educated." Qi Jiashi blinked, smiled and nodded.

"You're very smart." Wan Ning motioned for Amber to take out a brocade box, "This is a pair of rhinestone jade silk-wrapped hairpins I got recently. I thought it was very suitable for you when I saw it, and I put it away specially for you. .”

"Thank you for the reward from Fang Fujin." Qi Jiashi breathed a deep sigh of relief, and took the brocade box from Amber with both hands, with a brighter smile on his face.Although her mother-in-law said that Fujin is the mistress of the Baylor Mansion after all, and following Fujin to do things is always right, but in her opinion, Fujin is too cruel, and following her is not a long-term solution after all.

She doesn't want to be favored by the Eighth Master, it is enough to live a peaceful life in Babeile's mansion.
