Chapter 64: The General's Mansion
Bu Qin's court service was made overnight, and after it was made, it was sent to the Bu family. Bu Qin walked around with his son in his arms every day, and Xi Yunzhi still looked at the size of the court clothes and accepted them.
After coming back, Xi Yunzhi asked Bu Qin to wear the court clothes to her to see, but Bu Qin coldly refused.
Since Bu Qin came back, Xiao An has become less sticky to Xi Yunzhi, but he is very sticky to his own father, a few times several adults in the court came to visit, Xiao An refused to leave his father's arms, Bu Qin had to hold him in his hand to talk to those adults.
Because the New Year is approaching, Xi Yunzhi's shops in the north and south are busy every day, fabrics, jewelry, almost all swept away, if it weren't for Xi Yunzhi deliberately made an appointment with a few more ships of goods at the Shandong wharf a few years ago, it would really be green and yellow, and there would be no goods to sell.
It was difficult for Zhen to come to her store, so Xi Yunzhi took her to the private room on the second floor, ready to take the opportunity to choose the goods and talk to her well.
Zhen seemed to be in a good mood, and Xi Yunzhi asked while pouring her tea:
"Is something good happening?"
Zhen put a string of agate beads on the table to play with, a smile overflowed the corner of his mouth, and then he hooked his finger at Xi Yunzhi with a look of 'I have gossip, do you want to listen'.
Xi Yunzhi didn't know what she was thinking mysteriously, so she leaned over, only to hear Zhen say in a voice that almost laughed:
"The daughter of the Ministry of Rites was slept with yesterday and was arrested on the spot."
As soon as Xi Yunzhi heard it, she knew that only the affairs of that circle could make her so energetic, so she asked casually:
"Really? Who did you sleep with, so carelessly. ”
Zhen seemed to be waiting for Xi Yunzhi to ask this, and replied almost immediately: "You also know that man, Xi Yunzheng's brother should also be your brother." ”
Xi Yunzhi gestured to pour tea, and said strangely: "Xi Yun? ”
Zhen took her teapot and did it himself: "I don't know what his name is, anyway, I heard that it is Xi Yunzheng's brother, what happened this morning, Lord Yin also called the Ministry of Rites Shangshu to the mansion for questioning." ”
“……”
Xi Yunzhi sighed lightly, she already knew that Xi Yun would be bad sooner or later, he tried his best to make a name for himself in the circle of nobles in the capital, flattered everyone, and flirted with everyone, thinking that he could cope with it easily, but he didn't want to think about it, what kind of background did the noblewomen in the capital have, he thought that they were all girls from civilian families, and they could leave if they provoked a pat on their butts?
"And then?"
Xi Yunzhi finally understood the reason why Zhen was so excited, because this matter was also full of the temptation of gossip for her.
Zhen shrugged: "And then ...... I heard that Lord Yin was scolded by the Ministry of Rites, and then handed Xi Yun to Lord Yin and took him back, and then, Xi Yun was beaten again, and then I came here to tell you about it. ”
“……”
The daughter of the Ministry of Rites and the strange man were arrested, raped, in, and bed, and the matter spread in the city, and the heroine of the incident, Xi Yunzhi, saw it once in the previous party, the little family Jasper, didn't talk much, but she didn't expect it to be her.
However, what she didn't expect was that this thing, which can be described as 'ugly', was spread out unabashedly.
The people of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion will never do this kind of self-slapping thing, they tried their best to hide it, but this matter is still spread out so bizarrely, so what is the intention of the people behind the scenes, and who spread it, the answer is about to come out.
Sure enough, not long after the news spread, the news came that Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was going to marry his daughter.
Xi Yun really played a good chess game, first hooked the daughter of Shangshu to him, wanted, stopped, no, can, and then after being discovered, he simply calculated it, and came to a bitter trick, relying on himself to be the brother-in-law of the Zuo Governor Yushi, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites could only use his fists and feet against him, and did not dare to kill him directly, which gave him time to buffer the message, which led to today's result.
For Xi Yun, this scandal not only did not damage his reputation, but on the contrary, as soon as he 'heard' the news, he rushed to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites to take the blame, and proposed to take responsibility and marry Shangshu's daughter.
***
Xi Yunzhi was busy buying New Year's goods at home, and even if he had heard about these things, he didn't plan to meddle or stop them.
After Bu Qin was reinstated by the official, the small courtyard of the Bu family began to be lively.
Every day, the people of the court came to visit the house, and the congratulatory gifts they sent were enough to fill an embroidery room. Bu Qin was tired of coping, so he went to the store with Xi Yunzhi early, and played with Xiao An in the backyard, hiding quietly.
Fifteen days later, Bu Qin had to put on the court clothes, the color of the gauze robe wearing water jade, stepping on the black leather boots, the middle of the complement on a very painting of the Wu Qilin teeth and claws, vigorous and vigorous, Bu Qin is tall and handsome, deep facial features, what to wear can bring out a kind of luxury, now wearing a military attache court uniform, is even more powerful and unyielding, heroic and unyielding.
Xi Yunzhi waited for him to finish dressing, he couldn't wait to take two steps back, he admired it beautifully, and at the moment before Bu Qin was about to go crazy, he came back to his senses smartly, and then put on a golden cicada hair crown for him.
Bu Qin saw the smile on the corner of her mouth, and the curiosity of a pair of eyes eager to stick to him, felt a little funny, so he took it into his arms, hooked his lips in her ear and said:
"If the lady likes to see it, how about wearing it in the curtain for the husband to wear in the curtain at night for the lady to see?"
“……”
Xi Yunzhi pushed him embarrassedly, Bu Qin just took her into his arms and bullied her before he was willing to let go, Xi Yunzhi was ashamed, and pushed him away with desire, refusal, return, and welcome, and smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes for him with a pair of plain hands, and then sent him out of the hospital, watched him ride on a tall horse, and took Zhao Yi and Han Feng to the gate of Zhengyang Palace.
***
Although Bu Tan said that as long as she likes it, she doesn't have to worry about anything else, although she just lets it go, but Xi Yunzhi still feels that in the past, she just showed up, and now if she often goes in and out of the store like an ordinary businesswoman, it may bring unnecessary trouble to Bu Tan, so she stopped going to the store, and asked the shopkeepers to follow the practice of Luoyang shops, and sorted out the list and accounts every half a month and sent them to her house for her to see.
Xi Yunzhi spent a leisurely life at home, running around with Xiao An, but she never expected that a person she couldn't have imagined would suddenly find her door.
When he appeared in front of her with a dusty face and a thin horse, Xi Yunzhi was stunned for a long time before he recognized him, and exclaimed:
"Zhang Yan?"
Who is this embarrassed guest if he is not Zhang Yan?
Zhang Yan's first sentence when he saw Xi Yunzhi was nothing else, just a sentence of 'Is there anything to eat?' Xi Yunzhi asked Ruyi Ruyue to bring pastries and tea, and asked Liu's mother to go to the kitchen to cook rice quickly, and made a few dishes and served them.
Zhang Yan gobbled it up, and he couldn't wait for a few more mouths to eat.
Xi Yunzhi looked at him and couldn't help but say, "You eat slowly, don't choke." ”
Zhang Yan's mouth was full, and he shook his hand at Xi Yunzhi vigorously, not knowing what he wanted to say, Xi Yunzhi added some tea to him, and after he took two sips, he spoke a little more clearly:
"I've been hungry for three days."
Xi Yunzhi said: "You are also the owner of the restaurant, not really." ”
Zhang Yan glanced at him: "The owner of the restaurant can't resist the rampant thieves." When I passed through the stone pavilion, all my belongings were robbed, and this old and thin horse was left. ”
“……”
Seeing that he was pitiful, Xi Yunzhi couldn't help but ask again: "Then what are you doing in the capital when you have nothing to do?" ”
Zhang Yan made a natural look: "Of course I defected to you." You are now the richest man in Luoyang, and when you arrive in the capital, you have become the wife of a general, and you are flying high, I don't come to you, who will I go to? ”
“……”
Although Xi Yunzhi has the righteousness of a friend to Zhang Yan, she absolutely can't do this kind of thing to leave a man in the house, so she made room for him next door and let him rest here first, and when Bu Tan came back in the evening, she told Bu Qin about Zhang Yan honestly.
I thought that with the character of his husband, he would definitely let Zhang Yan get away, but he didn't expect that Bu Qin heard that the person who came was Zhang Yan, so he didn't say anything, just nodded, indicating that he knew.
Xi Yunzhi felt very strange about Bu Qin's reaction, so he asked unwillingly:
"Husband, Zhang Yan is a man, he came to the capital to find me in a good manner, don't you think...... Angry? ”
Bu Qin changed into his regular clothes, shrugged his shoulders and said:
"Why are you angry, he's Zhang Yan, isn't he?"
“……”
Xi Yunzhi didn't understand why her husband was so relieved of Zhang Yan. But since Bu Qin said so, Xi Yunzhi also felt that it was nothing, so he asked Zhang Yan to stay next door to Bu's house, follow Xiao Hei, and run the house for her.
Zhang Yan's ability to adapt is surprisingly fast, so fast that Xi Yunzhi can't help but wonder if he is a native of Beijing, and he knows all the horns that even Xiao Hei and them haven't touched.
In just a few days, he found no less than ten mansions for Xi Yunzhi, and he made a name for himself among Xiao Hei and them at once.
***
In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao An was dressed like a small cannon by the nurses, and the round little appearance had grown, looking at a miniature version of Bu Qin, he smiled when he saw people, and anyone who was cute wanted to reach out and pinch his white and tender little face.
Early in the morning, Bu Chengzong took him out for a walk, and when he came back, just in time to eat glutinous rice balls, Xiao An saw Xi Yunzhi and turned sideways to ask her to hug him, Xi Yunzhi hugged his hand, he smiled and began to concentrate on eating his hands.
Xi Yunzhi fed him a few mouthfuls of sweet soup, the little tongue smacked with a look of great enjoyment, Bu Qin looked at the itchy hand, so he reached out to take it, Xiao An left his mother's arms, and stared at Bu Tan with his eyes, Bu Tan also learned from Xi Yunzhi's example, scooped some sweet soup with a small spoon, and sent it to his mouth, but he didn't eat it, and his little hand couldn't stop grabbing Xi Yunzhi.
There is an endless stream of people who greet the New Year, and the steps are annoying, but because it is the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is not good for him not to be at home, so he can only deal with it mentally.
At this time, Xiao An solved a lot of troubles for him, as long as those people mentioned something he didn't want to answer, he used Xiao An as an excuse, saying that he was hungry for a while, going to find his mother to feed, saying that he was urinating, saying that he was impatient, and so on, could rest for a while in Xi Yunzhi, and then hugged Xiao An over to entertain guests, and sent away a wave of guests over and over again.
At the beginning of February, the construction of the General's Mansion was completed, and the craftsmen of the Mansion came to ask Bu Qin to come over and take a look, and Bu Qin brought Xi Yunzhi over.
Needless to say, the General's Mansion occupies an area, but it is true that you can't see the end at a glance.
Xi Yunzhi and Bu Qin walked on the nine-curved corridor above the lake, looking at the picturesque scenery around them, Xi Yunzhi felt his scalp tingle for the first time. With so many luxurious houses, so many rare flowers, so many small yards, and such a big place, how many people have to come back to take care of them all.
It's not that she's short of money now, it's just that she's really not used to the mansion being too big and the space is empty, so Bu Qin thinks it's good, even if she instructs the craftsman to add a few more boats to this lake.
The craftsmen were ordered to leave, and the palatial general's mansion was completed. With Bu Tan's affirmation, the craftsmen can report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send someone to review, and then after going through the motions, the Bu family can move in.
The initial time to move in was early March, Xi Yunzhi returned home, and looked at Lanfuyuan, a place where she had lived for less than a year, although it was small and old, she liked it very much.
Liu's mother and Ruyi Ruyue were very excited, shouting every day that they were going to move to a new house, and they worked extra hard to clean up.
At the beginning of March, the Bu family moved into a new house in the southern suburbs. The Ministry of Internal Affairs allocated 30 people to be sent to the General's Mansion as servants, some were responsible for cleaning, some were responsible for raising flowers, some were responsible for taking care of fish ponds, and some were responsible for cooking.
It saved Xi Yunzhi a lot of trouble. However, Bu Qin did not have a good impression of the people sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and set a rule that they were not allowed to enter and leave the master's courtyard that day, and those who violated it were severely punished.
At first, Xi Yunzhi didn't quite understand what he meant, but after a few days, she understood a little.
These servants were all sent in by the Internal Affairs Office, that is to say, they are all people from the Internal Affairs Office, and it is not because they have entered the General's Mansion now that they are really from the General's Mansion, and the servants in the palace are different from the domestic servants outside.
There are many people, and there are many people.
Although Bu Qin accepted them to do things in the mansion, it didn't mean that he could allow these people to spy on their lives at will.
