Besides, here, more than a dozen maiden rings such as spring flowers and autumn moon have come forward to thank you.

The happiest thing is Qiu Yue, she feels that she has jumped out of the sea of bitterness all of a sudden, although she doesn't know what will happen in the future, but it is better than marrying Steward Zhou's nephew who is not a good person and specializes in eating and drinking and beating his wife.

Chunhua was also very happy, she knew that of course she was using Steward Zhou to tie a raft today, and Steward Zhou was not using Qiuyue to tie a raft, and wanted to test the depth of the water.

It is said that this kind of maid ring around the master, even if he wants to be married to the boy in the outer house, he must discuss it with the master, especially with Xiao Nier first, and finally with the consent of the other.

Steward Zhou directly crossed the two masters and made his own assertions, obviously relying on Mrs. Tai's favor and not taking these two people into account. This year, the autumn moon has moved, and next year the spring flowers will have to be moved, and the two of them are twenty and nineteen, and they have reached the age of marriage.

No one expected that things would change, and the old man, who had always thrown his sleeves, suddenly took care of the housework himself.

The old man made the final decision, and the girls were all happy, although they didn't dare to be sure that they could really make their own decisions about their marriage in the future, after all, the big and small things in the house had to be decided by Mrs. Tai in the end, and that was the real head of the family. The big house and the second room in the marquis's mansion are not separated.

But with this lesson, it is estimated that Steward Zhou will have some scruples in the future and dare not act on them unscrupulously.

Besides, he smiled: "You have to pay attention to yourself in the future, and if you like any young man, come and tell me, and Master Ben will make the decision for you." He almost made a subconscious movement of his beard.

It's really not used to calling himself this master, this generation has risen too high all of a sudden, and it makes him feel as if he is a man of fifty or sixty years old.

Xiao Nier laughed uncontrollably, and besides, she didn't have a beard under her chin at all, and her upper and lower lips were only short hairy.

The girls also laughed secretly, and they were also very embarrassed, so it was not easy to pretend to be old.

"Thank you, sir, for your kindness. The girls all withdrew after thanking them.

Xiao Nier looked at the situation and smiled without saying a word, the god situation and could read it, as if watching a child do a prank, pampering, pity and tolerance.

"Why, you don't believe what I say counts?"

"It depends on what Mrs. Tai says, you are not really a family member here. Xiao Nier laughed.

Besides, he didn't speak, but he made up his mind, if he didn't do it according to his wishes this time, he would leave directly, withdraw from the Marquis's Mansion in a good way, and never make a show.

He is not angry, but tired of being the master of this kind of tablet, what he has always regretted is that when Qin Changqing came, he failed to insist on his opinion, although it does not matter whether the two brothers of the Zheng family are dead or alive, but the important thing is that his words were rejected.

After listening to Steward Zhou's statement, Mrs. Tai smiled: "Zhou family, what's the use of you telling me these things, now the second master is in charge in the second room, what he says is the king's law, and you have to do what he says in the second room." ”

The surname of the man who this Zhou housekeeper is surnamed Zhou, so Mrs. Tai calls her the Zhou family, and the woman follows the male surname, and others also call him Zhou Steward.

Steward Zhou said hurriedly: "But, ancestor, this family is still up to you." The second master is a good person, but he is still young, and there are some things that he has not yet passed, so you have to take the helm for him. ”

Some maid housekeepers in Mrs. Zhou's room also smiled when they looked at Steward Zhou, they were all used to Steward Zhou's style, and they all knew that the old lady remembered the love she had served the old man back then, and had always tolerated her.

"Although he is still young, he doesn't need anyone to take the helm for him, there are some things he has never experienced, but no one comes from this age, let's learn slowly. Besides, he didn't do anything too out of the ordinary, just some girls around him, he could do whatever he wanted, let him be. Mrs. Tai was still very patient.

A housekeeper smiled and said: "Sister Zhou, the second master is a good person, and the benevolence and righteousness that scholars often say refer to him like that, although he has been in our house for a few days, but who in the house does not read his good? ”

Mrs. Tai clapped her hands and said, "Exactly." When it comes to benevolence and righteousness, there is no one to compare with my youngest son, and you know that. He does everything from benevolence and righteousness, not from randomness. Have you seen him take care of anything? He just took care of this matter, which means that he feels the need to take care of this matter, and it is right to manage it this way. ”

Mrs. Tai didn't blame Steward Zhou, it was because she was happy in her heart, and she finally started to take care of affairs, which shows that she really regarded this family as her own home.

For such a long time, besides, there is no sense of belonging to the Marquis's Mansion, not only Mrs. Tai knows, but many people know and can understand, after all, he was not born and raised by Mrs. Tai, nor did he grow up in this family, in the end, he did not have many subordinates of this family to have feelings for the Marquis's Mansion.

Although Mrs. Tai is not in a hurry, she is still worried about this matter, and now that she has finally found a sense of belonging, of course she will not pour cold water at this juncture.

As for wanting those girls to choose their partners according to their own wishes, it is indeed not in line with the rules of etiquette and family, but he is in his own one-acre and three-point land, and he can do whatever he wants.

Another housekeeper smiled: "The second master is in love with these girls, right? I want to keep it for myself, he is young and thin-skinned, I'm embarrassed to say that, why can't you hear it." ”

Steward Zhou clapped his hands and said, "Look at what you said, if the second master means this, what else will I say." Don't say keep those girls, even if you want more, I'll have to find them. I'm just afraid that the second master will be instigated by those girls, and because of their temperament, there will be no chaos in the house. ”

"Don't worry, he's measured, besides, some girls want to turn the sky upside down, that's impossible. There is no need to discuss this anymore. As long as the second master orders, you will do what he says. Mrs. Tai waved her hand a little impatiently.

Steward Zhou had no choice but to withdraw in a gloomy manner, she realized her mistake, she didn't dare to deal with this matter, she just wanted to sue a few girls, but no matter what, this kind of thing seems to be saying that it is not, no wonder Mrs. Tai is impatient.

Everyone in the Marquis's Mansion knows that the second master is the old lady's reverse scale, and he will never touch it.

Besides, he didn't know what was going on, so he finished dealing with the affairs of the family and rushed to Pomegranate.

He rode in a carriage and weaved through the bustling crowd along the way.

Looking at the bustling scene outside, he suddenly felt a little pain in his heart, all of which would come to naught in less than a hundred years.

Although Nanjing in the Qing Dynasty was also prosperous, it was much worse than this time, and then after the changes of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Nanjing was almost in ruins, and the ancient capital of thousands of years, although it stood forever in the long river of history, suffered too much.

He thought to himself, and came to the shore of Xuanwu Lake, boarded a boat to cross the lake, and came to the teacher's study.

"Well, you came just in time, why are you late today?" Chen Musa smiled when he saw him.

"I was held back by some small things, and I delayed my work a little. After saluting, he smiled.

"It's not going to be a small thing to hold you down. Chen Musa said with a smile.

"Why didn't the teacher go out today, and no one invited him?" he asked.

He didn't want to bother the teacher with these little things, so he asked rhetorically.

"I can hide as much as I can now, by the way, I heard that you had some unpleasantness with the Duchess of Wei yesterday?" Chen Musa looked at him intently and asked.

Besides, I remembered that I was despised by the Duchess of Wei yesterday, and I was a little panicked in my heart, and said with a forced smile: "It's not counting, the Duchess of Wei said that I am not as good as my senior brother, but she is not wrong." ”

"This woman, she is still haunted by the incident back then, don't mind. Chen Musa comforted.

"I don't mind, what others think of me, the disciple has always listened to me, and the teacher also knows. ”

"Well, that's good. Although the woman is a little unclear in the matter, she really loves the pomegranate, and you will have to deal with it in the future, and you will hear a lot of cold words in the future, so you can only endure it more. Chen Musa smiled apologetically.

Besides, it is also a wry smile, what else can he say, the title of Duchess of Wei Guo can't scare him, and she is just on the same level as the Duchess and Mrs. Tai of England, but she is the wife of her senior brother, that is, her elder, and she has to listen honestly when she scolds herself, and she can't refute it at all.

"By the way, your handwriting is good, write me a few words, carve it into a sign, and the tree is outside the island. ”

Chen Musa asked him to write a notice on a piece of paper:

He was ordered to read quietly and wait for Hugh Ming to be advocated. All ushers, weddings and funerals are all declined.

Among them, "quiet reading" and "advocating Xiu Ming" are the original words in the holy decree, and officials of all sizes in Nanjing also know that ushering in and sending them to the natural officialdom is a visit, and weddings and funerals are several major events in personal private life.

Chen Musa thanked the guests in this name, basically to live on this island in a simple way.

He lived this kind of life in Suzhou, and the Nanjing officials and gentlemen were very familiar with him not to bother him, whether they were official or private, all kinds of red and white ceremonies, etc., but after he came to Nanjing, he could not enjoy this tranquility.

Yesterday was the banquet of all the main hall officials of the Nanjing Sixth Ministry, the Duchayuan, the Taifu Temple, the Dali Temple, the Honglu Temple, and the Nanjing Military Reserve Garrison Mansion to invite him, and today it is the public banquet of all the officials and gentry of Wuzhong in Nanjing, and the day after tomorrow is the banquet of the deputy hall officials of the Sixth Ministry, which was followed by the banquet of Tianfu, the banquet of various large and small organizations, etc., the invitations have accumulated into a thick stack on the desk, and it has been almost full for more than a month.

During this period, the banquet of Zhongshan Wangfu is not counted, after all, he has also lived in Zhongshan Wangfu for a few years, and he has some feelings of his own family, so Zhongshan Wangfu has not been officially posted, but the two families are basically a daily thing.

Moreover, after writing the notice, Chen Musa asked his family to take it out, found a carver to engrave on the wooden plaque, and then planted it at the entrance of the Xuanwu Lake Ferry.
