Today, Shen Yan rushed in and reminded Qin Jue, he asked Fang Xiansheng to clean up Songtaoxuan and make his outer study, so as not to let his fox friends break into Han Cuixuan again and collide with his little wife. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Luo Jinyan heard Qingquan say that Songtao Xuan, Qin Jue's great-grandfather and grandfather both made this place an outer study, to Qin Jue's generation, Mingyuan Hall has no female dependents for 20 years, and it has long been inseparable from inside and outside, since the death of Old Lady Qin, Songtao Xuan has been vacant, not only Songtao Xuan, but also in Mingyuan Hall, except for Han Cuixuan, almost all of them are vacant.

Luo Jinyan also knew that there were no pine trees in Songtao Xuan, Qin Jue's grandmother, Mrs. Cheng, did not like pine trees, after she married into the Qin family, she removed all the pine trees in Mingyuan Hall, and there were originally two hundred-year-old pines outside Songtao Xuan, which are now planted outside Tianxin Pavilion.

This coincides with Luo Jinyan, she thinks that pines and cypresses should be planted in the cemetery, and what should be done with this kind of thing at home.

She asked Sao Hong to accompany her to the flower room, not far from the flower room is the courtyard where Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Cheng lived, and this flower house was also built by Mrs. Cheng when she was alive.

There are two open spaces in front and back of the flower room, and the flower room is inlaid with valuable Western glass, but the flowers inside make Luo Jinyan a little disappointed. In addition to more than a dozen pots of famous peonies, there are only a few pots of snow orchids.

Seeing Xue Lan, Luo Jinyan was dumbfounded, this was the kind of flower that was embroidered on her clothes and remembered by Qin Jue for many years.

Sao Hong told her in a low voice: "Peony is the beloved thing of the old lady and the old lady, these dozen pots are divided from the old lady's yard, Xuelan was only transported from Yunnan last year, and there is a mother-in-law surnamed You, who is said to be a master of raising orchids." ”

In other words, before this You Pozi came, the flower house had been abandoned for many years.

Coming out of the flower room, Luo Jinyan asked Sao Hong again: "How many people are there in the knitting room, how many of them are mothers-in-law and maids?"

Sao Hong was stunned, obviously she didn't expect Luo Jinyan to ask about the knitting room, but the uncle had already said that from the day the grandmother entered the door, she was the grandmother's person, and she didn't dare not say anything if the grandmother asked.

Luo Jinyan had already guessed that there was only one maid in Han Cuixuan, and in addition to You Pozi in the flower room, there were only two rough little maids, none of whom seemed to be able to talk to Sao Hong, Sao Hong had a lively personality, and it was impossible to stay in Han Cuixuan all day, so what she could talk to was the person in the knitting room.

The knitting room is full of women.

Sure enough, Sao Hong was very clear about the knitting room, and she said: "The housekeeper of the knitting room is surnamed Cai, her mother is Mrs. Cheng's dowry maid, and her man is the steward of Wanjuanfang." In addition to her, there are three daughters-in-law and four little girls who don't keep their heads in the knitting room, and the others ...... There was no one. ”

Luo Jinyan frowned, how is this possible?

These four little girls who don't keep their heads are at most doing some chores of thread ironing, which can be ignored, which means that there are only four people in the sewing room.

Qin Jue said that the clothes of the maids in Mingyuan Hall are made separately from the house, even if there are few people, they cannot be done with four pairs of hands.

Sao Hong spoke in a hurry, as if there was something difficult to say.

Luo Jinyan glanced at Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi immediately straightened his face, and said to Sweep Hong: "Sister Sweep Hong, grandma has just arrived, but if you want to inquire about anything, it is not impossible to inquire, and now I ask you, isn't it just to watch the love that you have been running in and out for more than a year, if you have to hide it, then hide it." ”

Sao Hong was startled, her face flushed, and she said after a while: "Grandma, it's not that the slave doesn't say it, but I don't know how to say it." ”

Luo Jinyan smiled and walked towards Han Cuixuan, Sao Hong had to hang his head and follow behind, and whispered: "The slave maid came before last, and at that time, in addition to Cai's mother and the three daughters-in-law, there were ...... in the knitting room There are more than a dozen sisters, last year the uncle was swimming in the pond, there was a sister who was ignorant, collided with the uncle, was caught by the nurses, and then she was sick, the steward called her old son to bring people back, and then the sisters in the knitting room married and put them away, and they all left in less than three months. ”

Luo Jinyan's eyes widened, and this is the matter?

The one who bumped into Qin Jue was found to have met by chance in the past, but unfortunately he was met by the nurses.

As for Libai, since they are going to find the second lady Wu, then eight or nine out of ten are from the Wu family, when the aunt sent a girl to her nephew, of course she didn't send embroidery, I'm afraid it was sent to the room, and somehow, she was sent to the knitting room by Qin Jue.

Luo Jinyan was refreshed, and Qin Jue gave her a clean back house.

In the afternoon, she called all the housekeepers and mothers-in-law from all over and asked them to report the manpower that needed to be added, only to find that in addition to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in Mingyuan Hall, there was only a little girl who did not keep a head, and there was only a big girl who swept the red.

After the housekeepers left, Chang Gui's daughter-in-law and Xia Zhi scrambled to praise Qin Jue.

"I don't know how happy my lord would be if he knew that my uncle was so good to Miss. ”

"If you can do this, there will be only one uncle in the whole capital. ”

During dinner, Qin Jue came back from Songtaoxuan, and saw Luo Jinyan looking at him and smiling, laughing so much that he didn't know why.

"I want Chang Gui's daughter-in-law to go to Tongzhou Zhuangzi to pick a few maids and mothers-in-law, and I also want to go to Fengtai to buy some flowers and trees. ”

Qin Jue was overjoyed, she was going to treat Mingyuantang as her home, this was what he wanted to see the most.

Round house or something, he can't think about it yet.

"Okay, let Fang Xiansheng take Chang Gui and Chang Gui's daughter-in-law to Zhuangzi, I'll let them make arrangements, and I'll accompany you to Fengtai tomorrow." ”

Luo Jinyan's gaze swirled around him, and said, "Are you going with me?"

Qin Jue's injuries were not serious, but he still had to pretend.

Qin Jue then remembered that he was still sick, sighed, and said, "Then wait until a few days to go, tomorrow I will write a recital at home, do you want to come with me to sit in Songtao Xuan? There are poems and paintings left by my grandfather." ”

During the reign of the Empress Dowager Dou, he said that he was ill, and the Empress Dowager Dou did not want to return to the government Zhao Ji, and did not want to lose the heart of the prince.

Old lady Qin's poems and paintings have been famous in Shilin for a long time, Luo Jinyan became interested, and followed Qin Jue to stay in Songtao Xuan for a long time the next day.

In her previous life, she had seen Qin Jue's folds, and she frowned at that time, but Zhao Ji appreciated it very much.

But at that time, Qin Jue was the first assistant of the cabinet, and his excerpts could go directly to the heavenly court, but now he can't, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is nothing, and he is afraid that a few cabinet elders will call back.

She wanted to remind him a few words, but then she thought about it, in his previous life, he was also promoted by the Seventh Rank Imperial History, if he could go smoothly in this life, of course, if not, then it would be good for him to endure hardships, maybe he would stop thinking and be an idle cloud and wild crane.

At this moment, Zhu Huo ran over panting: "Grandma, my cousin and grandmother are here." ”

My cousin's grandmother, that is, Li Qingfan's wife, Grandma Fan.
