The sky was bright, there were more people on the street, and the Gao family was snubbed in front of the door because Gao Lingbo had already invited him to go out and the emperor allowed it.

However, the front of the door is cold, but the door is still lively.

The front hall and backyard are full of people and flowers.

"It's just that the stage is full." Someone laughed and pointed to the empty stage outside the pavilion over there.

"Last year, the sun and the moon were eclipsed, and the snow disaster was in turmoil, the Son of Heaven was worried, and the people were uneasy, and they had ordered a ban on joy. The person on the side said.

"However, it's not too much for us to enjoy singing and dancing at home." Someone said again, gesturing to the woman who was walking in from outside the hall.

"Oh, Little Lady Zhu is here."

The men scattered in the hall all looked over.

"Didn't you say it was hard to please?"

"Hard please? It depends on who invites you! ”

There was chaos outside the hall, and it was passed into the hall, so that behind the curtain closed his eyes, Gao Lingbo, who was beating his legs and pressing his head, frowned slightly.

"Are you going to leave after the beginning of spring?" A staff member said from the side.

"How so." Gao Lingbo closed his eyes and said, "I sincerely admit my guilt, and I sincerely admit punishment, and I will leave after fifteen." ”

"It's good for adults to follow the trend." The staff nodded and said, "King Ping is getting older, and he is already fourteen years old after the New Year, plus last year's double eclipse of the sun and moon, this year will inevitably be a clean government, and you can ask for the crown prince." ”

"Once the crown prince is established, I will bear the brunt of it." Gao Lingbo said.

"Yes, the adult family is a relative in the end, and he can't live in the court for a long time." Said the staff. "At this time, please come out and obey the emperor's wishes. It also avoided the limelight. When the dust settles and turns around in the future, what will stop you? ”

Speaking of this, he laughed, and Gao Lingbo, who closed his eyes, also laughed.

"So don't be anxious when you see bad things, bad things can become good things." "And a good thing can be a bad thing." ”

Everyone in the room laughed.

Gao Lingbo suddenly raised his hand to stop everyone's laughter, and while opening his eyes, he was helped to sit up by the little maid.

"The piano outside plays well." He said.

Hear this. The people on both sides hurriedly pulled up the curtains, and the little lady sitting and playing the piano in the hall appeared in front of them.

"It's the little lady Zhu of Desheng Building." Said the staff.

Gao Lingbo nodded.

The woman in the hall is worthy of being the best of the flowers, her face is like a peony, her color is like a peony, and her clothes are gorgeous but not vulgar.

"Not bad, not bad." He said.

I don't know whether to praise the sound of the piano or praise the people, while leaning on the little maid, while gently beating the beat to cater to it, enjoying the leisure in the first month.

…………………………………………

Mrs. Cheng took Cheng Jianniang into the courtyard.

looked at the servant woman who greeted her and nodded with a smile.

Jia Zhigao of the Imperial Academy, a person from Beijing. The ancestors married with the clan and earned a good industry and made a fortune. A servant woman whispered again in the ear of Second Lady Cheng.

"This is a note." Second Mrs. Cheng said in a low voice. "What else did Banqin say?"

"I didn't say anything else, just said that Madame was casual." The servant woman whispered.

Random?

This is the correspondence between the families of the eunuchs in Beijing, can it be the same as that in Jiangzhou?

Second Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but look back at Cheng Jianniang and a girl standing behind her.

It's all called Banqin, why don't you let that Banqin come?

There were already a lot of people sitting in the back house, the older and the younger, and the room was full of flowers.

Mrs. Jia personally greeted the past.

"Mrs. Cheng, you're here."

"Mrs. Jia." Second Mrs. Cheng hurriedly returned the salute and said.

Before the ceremony was finished, Mrs. Jia was already looking at Cheng Jianniang with a smile on her face.

"Cheng Niangzi, hurry up and please come inside." She said.

It sounds a little strange, but... Looking at the enthusiastic smiling face of the lady in front of him, whatever.

Second Mrs. Cheng smiled and nodded, raising her feet to follow.

More people in the hall stood up and greeted each other with smiles, of course, everyone knew who this enthusiasm was directed to.

"Mrs. Zhou, why didn't your family invite this niece last time? Wouldn't it be even more lively? ”

Looking at the scene of the stars holding the moon in this hall outside the door, a lady smiled at the lady next to her.

Mrs. Zhou's eyes fell behind Mrs. Cheng, the woman had already taken off her cloak, and she was dressed in a gorgeous winter dress suitable for the occasion and age, which made her face youthful and beautiful, which made people happy, but Mrs. Zhou only felt a chill.

As if sensing someone's prying eyes, the woman looked up.

Like a needle piercing, Mrs. Zhou was so frightened that she immediately turned away, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

I'm good to her, I'm really good to her, and I have no intention of harming her.

Mrs. Zhou stroked her heart and repeated the Buddhist scriptures.

"Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou?" The lady next to her noticed her gaffe and hurriedly reached out to push her, "What's wrong?" ”

Mrs. Zhou came back to her senses and smiled reluctantly.

"It's fine." She said.

The lady smiled a little knowingly.

"Envious, right? Don't envy her, she's just a steproom, and you're a serious aunt. She laughed, "You stand there, where is her place." ”

Envy?

If she had known they would come, she would never have come.

Mrs. Zhou looked over there again, looking at Mrs. Cheng who was being surrounded by compliments and was raising her sleeves to hide her smile.

"I'm not envious." She muttered, "It wouldn't be ridiculous if I were to stand next to her." ”

Poor Second Mrs. Cheng....

Did she think that the Bodhisattva standing behind her was a bodhisattva who made fortune and attracted good fortune? That's a Nakshatra!

"Don't talk nonsense here, let's go, take me to meet your niece, maybe you can get something if you're lucky." The lady next to her pushed her to urge.

Mrs. Zhou turned around.

"I suddenly felt unwell, so I went back first." She said, and before the lady could come to her senses, she hurried away.

This New Year, Mrs. Zhou was recuperating at home and declined any banquet.

When it's dark. Second Master Cheng turned over suddenly.

Mrs. Cheng Er, who was sitting in front of the dressing table and looking through the jewelry, was startled.

"The master woke up so early?" She asked in surprise.

Second Master Cheng glanced at her.

"You're not too late." He said.

Second Mrs. Cheng sat down with a smile.

"Sir. There is a feast to be sent today. Look, I'm good at using that golden hairpin? She said, while taking advantage of the morning light to give the five hairpins in her hand to Cheng Er.

The five golden hairpins of different sizes are a bit dazzling.

Second Master Cheng frowned.

"I think it's all good." Second Mrs. Cheng smiled and looked at herself, "But you can't take it all out and use it like this, leave a few and make a dowry for Qi Niang in the future." ”

A few broken hairpins sent by other handmaidens can be kept for his daughter as a dowry!

"You can see any things!" Second Master Cheng suddenly became angry, and raised his hand to knock the golden hairpin down. "Why are the eyelids so shallow!"

Second Mrs. Cheng was busy picking it up.

"What are you angry about?" She said displeasedly, "I haven't seen it, and no one has given me so much, I'm from such a poor scholar's family, and I can't take my eyes off the money when I see it." ”

I haven't seen it, and no one has given me so much, these two sentences came into the ears of Second Master Cheng, and it sounded a little awkward.

Has he taken less of what he has brought home over the years? It's not as good as what a servant girl gave her?

With this awkwardness, the last sentence of Second Mrs. Cheng was like a torch burning to his tail.

"You dead woman!" Second Master Cheng jumped up and shouted.

Second Mrs. Cheng was also annoyed.

"The lord of the Great Lunar Month, is this going to curse me?" She said with an eyebrow raised. "It's not enough to die one, but also to die a second?"

Cheng Er's old man's face turned green. If you want to fight, you don't dare to fight, you have to scold, and there is already a low sound of walking outside.

"What a system!" He had no choice but to throw up his sleeves and walk out.

Listening to the sound of the door outside, Second Mrs. Cheng pursed her lips, raised the golden hairpin in her hand again, and looked at it carefully in the brighter and brighter morning light.

"That's not all I like." She said with a smile, "However, I don't dislike these petty profits. ”

The official hall of the New Year is lazier than at other times.

"Let's leave early today, rush to the east gate to have a meal of mutton soup, and go to Jintian Lane in the afternoon to have fun." One of the officials smiled and said to the other.

The other pouted and shook his head.

"I'm afraid it's too early, so let's wait until evening." He said, holding his hands.

"What's wrong?" The previous servant asked puzzled.

Then the little officer will go to a government hall and nunu.

"There's a hard-working adult who's still busy." He said.

Industrious adults?

The little official was stunned.

Seeing that the door of the official hall over there was opened, an official looked out with a tiger face.

"Someone, someone, go to Jingzhao Mansion and get me these documents." He said loudly.

The little official stuck out his tongue at him, and the response was upside down, and he nodded and stretched out his hand to take the cigarette.

A thick stack of books was placed on several cases, and the already full cases were even more chaotic.

"My lord, this is what you want from the Jingzhao Mansion." The little official said.

Second Master Cheng hummed and stretched out his hand to look at it.

"My lord, you don't have to rush to handle the case." The little official said with a little flattery, "We will definitely help the adults well." ”

It is said that this Cheng Dong is an official who only wanders around in remote and inferior states, and he came to this Dali Temple by relying on the emperor's reward, and the yamen in this capital is easy to live in?

When a new official takes office, don't say that he will give others three fires first, he must first welcome the dismount of the old people under his subordinates, and the surging official duties, the old cases that have accumulated for many years will be piled up in front of him, and if he doesn't do it well, he will leave a joke, and he will also lose a little bit of pride.

I think Cheng Dong is also guarding against this, but this time he is really worried.

Not to mention that there are nobles who have specially greeted him and are not allowed to embarrass him, just say that there is no nobleman to greet him, just because his surname is Cheng Mingdong and he gave birth to a daughter Cheng, it is enough for adults to offer up, and it is embarrassing! Who eats enough to find his own death!

One Feng Lin is enough!

The little official was thinking about it and preparing to unravel it again, when there was a snap, and Cheng Dong took a few cases.

"Found it!" He said with a happy face.

When I looked up, I saw that the little official was stunned, and he hurriedly corrected his expression.

"Go down."

Drove away the little official, Cheng Er took a deep breath, rummaged faster, and soon the other volumes on several cases were pushed down, and only four or five volumes were left to unfold.

The slightly gloomy indoor vision was a little dim, but the second master Cheng still clearly saw the clear four words of Cheng's Jiaoniang on the documents in front of him.

"Sure enough..."he said slowly, "It turns out that it was her own name that was left, not the Zhou family...."

Speaking of this, he stretched out his hand and slapped a few cases again.

"What a fool!"

He shouted.

"Grandparents, parents are here, don't have different wealth, don't be filial, and go to prison for three years." [Note 1]

"How can it be so casual! No wonder I am always accused of being attacked, I keep people and handles by myself! ”

Although he said it harshly, a smile bloomed on Cheng Er's face.

"It's so dangerous, it's okay, it's okay, I came in time, and I was reminded in time, otherwise it will inevitably be made of this in the future."
