Man Yan rested in Hehuan Garden last night. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info how many people can't sleep at night, she actually slept soundly.

It was just that dream again, and this time she saw it clearly. The shadow of the "cross" is indeed two people, the grandfather lying on the bed horizontally, and the grandmother sitting vertically, wearing a sea green cultivation robe with wide sleeves and black robes, feeding medicine to the grandfather. Although my grandmother only had one back, she wore that dress when chanting scriptures in the small Buddha hall.

I don't know what this dream means, could it be that my grandfather was really fed medicine by my grandmother before he fainted. Man Yan couldn't help but worry about it, the matter of lying in the salary will not cause any more turmoil, right? But when my grandmother said and acted, she couldn't see anything wrong.

Everyone in this mansion was waiting for the battle, and the second lady Wang had already taken the third lady and a few servants to wait at the Yimen. In terms of name, this old lady Wang is her mother and the grandmother of Miss Eight. In fact, since last night, she has been so angry in her heart that the old lady wants to come to the Hou Mansion to pay a visit, but she didn't inform her in advance, but it seems that she has become an outsider. Thanks to the second master's patience and coaxing for most of the night, she was able to behave as usual today.

When Mrs. Wang was led to the Yimen, her chin was unconsciously raised by an inch. Look at this battle to welcome guests, it can't be compared with the Guogong Mansion, the people of the Fu family are too thin, and every concubine of their Wang family can be a housewife here. But if it is their royal family, why should they personally let the master mother come to the Yimen to welcome the guests. Alas, it's all for her little ancestor...... Looking at the happy little grandson Wang Yi'an beside him, thinking of him talking about it for so many days, Mrs. Wang's heart softened, and the corners of her mouth added a smile when she saw the old lady of the Hou Mansion.

"Old sister, you are really a noble person today. Since the morning, I have heard the magpies in the yard calling all the time. Mrs. Feng waited at the gate of the courtyard, always respectful and polite, not enthusiastic, but she couldn't find fault with it.

Old Madam Wang is the second grade, and Mrs. Feng is a little lower, and this old sister is more than enough. Regarding today's visit of the old lady of the Guogong Mansion, Mrs. Feng was not without doubts in her heart. But she knew that someone was more anxious than she was to know why.

After everyone saw the ceremony, the second lady couldn't wait to open her mouth: "Why did my mother come over today, but my daughter was so surprised." ”

Mrs. Wang didn't look at her, and asked the old lady, "Is the old lady better now?" ”

"The disease of stroke can only be slowly raised, and there are not many hours to be awake now, but fortunately, the second master is filial, but he often accompanies him in the past."

Mrs. Wang held the old lady's hand with a look of pity. "You can also relax, this illness is not an emergency."

The old lady sneered in her heart: I have nothing to be relieved about, I have to worry when he stands. The old lady has never liked to play dumb riddles, and this old lady Wang, who has eyes above the top, is afraid that she will not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. I have never been close, but I suddenly came to see the old lady, don't say that she doesn't believe it, and I'm afraid the one in the second room doesn't believe it either.

Wang Yi'an was a little anxious when he saw that these people couldn't get into the topic after a long time, so he took the initiative to kneel on the futon and made a big salute. "Say hello to my aunt and grandmother."

A "aunt and grandmother" made the old lady hesitate for a long time. She wondered even more, this young master of the Wang family had seen her once or twice before, how could he have been so affectionate to her. His real aunt and grandmother are actually Chang's, all of whom are the concubines of these concubines, and they have messed up the titles...... It has also spoiled people's hearts. After all, the child made a big gift, and she still asked Mama Fang to hand over a bag of golden nudes.

Old Madam Wang secretly glared at Wang Yi'an. Then he looked at the old lady and smiled: "I don't know why this year's Dragon Boat Festival, and the queen didn't call us foreign women to see us." Quietly, she picked up the teacup of the purple clay pot, as if she thought the tea was too hot, and the teacup lid was crisp and hit the edge of the cup a few times. Taking a sip of tea, Mrs. Wang said slowly: "There are a few girls in the Fu family who are also going to run for election this time." Last time I saw one, she was beautiful, elegant, generous, and reasonable, and her future is limitless. ”

"The old sister praised it falsely, and it is still the emperor's mercy, otherwise how could our family with thin heirs have such an opportunity. If you want to say that you can train girls, you don't dare to compare with your family. The old lady said, unconsciously glancing at the second lady.

When Mrs. Wang saw her precious grandson scratching her ears and cheeks, she was afraid that she couldn't sit still. He stopped playing tricks and asked, "Why don't you call your girl out for me to see, don't you want to accept my gifts?" ”

Finally got to the point. The girls of the Hou Mansion have been waiting in the side room for a long time, and it is a rare opportunity to show their faces in front of the old lady of the Guogong Mansion. Since last night, several wives and aunts have been worried about what to wear for their daughter today. There is only the third young lady, who is alone in the Hehuan Garden thinking about things. Man Yan had already understood that she had never seen outsiders, and she would probably not be able to see Mrs. Wang this time.

The old lady asked the girls to come over, but they were only six or seven years old anyway, and they couldn't talk about the defense of men and women. After the girls saluted, they received a bag of gold nudes from Mrs. Wang, and stood quietly aside. Old Madam Wang praised a few words, and there was a faint hint of disappointment in her eyes.

The other ladies are all gone, the happiest is Miss Eight, today's guest is her grandmother, and the ladies in the house are not as faceless as her. Besides, I also met her brother An. Fu Man whispered softly: "Brother An, let's go to the Green Garden to see the peach blossoms." ”

Wang Yi'an was a little upset, he was supposed to come to see the third lady today, but he couldn't be biased. He felt the heat in the room, pulled down his neckline slightly, and said coldly: "Now the peach blossoms are all gone, it's not interesting." ”

The second lady didn't want her daughter to lose face, so she hurriedly played a round: "Brother An, you take your sister to the garden to play, and let the ancestor talk here." ”

Wang Yi'an lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and asked, "Grandmother, why don't you see the third sister?" ”

Everyone was surprised, especially the second lady, who couldn't believe that her nephew took the initiative to care about Fu Manyan's girl. Mrs. Wang explained: "This child went to play in Zhuangzi last month, and saw the three girls planting bamboo in the field, and said that the three girls of your family have turned that wasteland into fertile land. In a child's house, a little thing should be very new. ”

Wang Yi'an was not convinced, and refuted in a low voice: "What's the matter, it's obvious that the third girl made a bamboo knife and gave one to the second cousin." ”

As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent for a moment, and everyone fell into deep thought. The second lady was horrified, and her nephew had never heard of one thing after another; Eighth Miss Fu Manyou was inexplicably flustered, as if something had been snatched away. The sixth lady, Fu Manhua, frowned, and realized in her heart why her brother had not left the third sister recently.

Even Old Madam Wang was shocked, and the wrinkles on her face spread like ripples. "An'er, don't talk nonsense. The three girls are a small child, how can they do such a big thing? ”

Wang Yi'an saw that everyone didn't believe it, so he told what happened in the academy.

The second young master, Fu Baisong, has been studying in the "Bishui Academy" for a while, and he can barely keep up with some simple things at first. But after all, he has a bad foundation, and it is quite difficult to listen to Mr. lectures these days, and he was fined by Mr. for copying 20 large characters a few days ago. The students in the academy thought that he would not be able to hand in his homework the next day, but Fu Baisong handed in a lot of 20 large characters. Wang Yi'an and Fu Qingnian took a closer look, and the handwriting was clearly written with a bamboo knife. At the beginning, the bamboo knife was ten taels of silver, and later the students of various academies found that the bamboo knife was the most effective for dealing with the punishment of copying large characters, and it was written quickly and well. After the news gradually spread, many gentlemen of the academy, the scribes of the Hanlin Academy, and the various clerks of the General Administration Department began to buy this kind of fast pen, and the bamboo knife rose to twenty taels, and I heard that the bamboo knife of Moxiangzhai is now almost sold out.

But no one believed that Fu Baisong bought the bamboo knife himself, so some students in the academy suspected that he had stolen it, and Fu Baisong finally had no choice but to confess that it was given to him by his third sister. Wang Yi'an inquired carefully, and then strung together the things in Zhuangzi, and knew that the bamboo forest was probably used to make bamboo knives.

After listening to Wang Yi'an's words, everyone looked at the old lady. The old lady had no choice but to say: "Old sister, there is some misunderstanding here. Chunxi, go and invite the third lady. ”

After listening to Chunxi's grandmother's situation, Manyan endured a headache and went to Songhe Hall, and found that the number of people was more complete than that of the fifteenth day of the first month, except for the aunts who were not qualified to meet the guests, the rest of them declined, and even her fourth brother Fu Qingnian came. The room was full of people staring at her, with different expressions. As soon as he went in, he was confronted by the second lady's questioning, and Man Yan secretly said that it was not good. Looking at Wang Yi'an's unbeaten appearance of "I found out", as well as Fu Manyou's undisguised disgust, I intuitively feel that this little kid is the root cause of trouble.

Man Yan didn't answer Wang's question immediately, but squatted down to salute, "Say hello to the old lady." ”

Old Madam Wang's face looked kind, "You can just call me with You'er, and my grandmother will do it." ”

Man Yan smiled slightly, but did not change his words: "Old Madam Xie is magnanimous." ”

She glanced at the old lady and said lightly: "Second Aunt Fang Cai has wronged me." This bamboo knife was obviously thought up by my grandmother, Yan'er just found someone to test it, if you want to say that it was invented, it is still the work of Mo Xiangzhai. As for the bamboo forest, it was indeed to be sold to Mo Xiangzhai, and I just begged Mr. Zheng to improve the land. ”

Fu Manyou said with a cold face: "Why did the third sister give it to the second brother alone, why don't you also give each of us sisters a bamboo knife?" Anyway, the bamboo is yours. ”

Man Yan smiled slightly: "Don't hide it from everyone, I'm afraid I can't." Now Mo Xiangzhai's bamboo knives are sold out soon, how can I have Mo Xiangzhai without it. Seeing that the faces of her younger brothers and sisters were not good-looking, she added slowly: "When Mo Xiangzhai makes the next batch of bamboo knives, I will buy some and give them to my sisters, well, there are four brothers." ”

Fu Manyou is just a good one, don't turn your head and don't squeak.

Wang Yi'an smiled and came over: "The third sister will also give me one." I'll have something good for you to get back. ”

Man Yan hurriedly took two steps back, polite and polite. "Thank you, cousin." Just messing up her plans like this, cousin, is really a speechless species. With this experience, Man Yan just wants to stay away from him, far away. Later, the third lady will be sluggish throughout the whole process, you ask me to answer, you don't ask me to be too lazy to speak, until the end of the humble and joyless to send the nobles away.

When Mrs. Wang left, she left a boxy treasure box with lotus branches. Mama Fang opened it and took a look, a bag of lamb's golden nude, a pair of pearl hibiscus flowers and a pair of pink quartz lotus hairpins. The third lady is a sheep, and several pairs of headdresses are also suitable for eight or nine-year-old girls, simple and plain, which is in line with Manyan's preferences.

Mama Fang said: "It seems that the old lady of the Guogong Mansion is fake this visit, and it is true to come to see the third lady." ”

The old lady was not shocked when she saw Manyan, so she asked her to put away the gift, and she didn't say much about Mrs. Wang's intentions. The granddaughter doesn't take it seriously, so why should she, the grandmother, worry about it. After all, Yan'er is young, and it's too early to say anything. But it was good that the bamboo knife thing was revealed, which made her mind more determined. The old lady's eyes were blazing, and it seemed that it was time to hand over the post to the palace.
