It wasn't until the time of the palm lamp that the dimensions of everyone up and down Qingyi upstairs were finally measured. Zong Zhengke's size was measured by Hu Mei himself, and the two of them were in the bedroom, closing the door and talking carefully.

Although it is not possible to use too much time so as not to arouse suspicion, it is clear what can be said and what should be said. Mei Niang was convinced of Zong Zhengke, and decided to go to the most powerful dart bureau in Yuchuan Mansion the next day to hire two masters as guards, and she would also inquire about the news of Dawei through her old friends.

Zong Zhengke generously rewarded several ladies who were dressed by Hu Mei, and also imitated the practice of the eldest princess of Qinghe, and sent someone to order a table of first-class noodles and send them directly to Qiluo Pavilion. Hu Mei was reluctant to say goodbye and took someone away. Zong Zhengke let Mingxin escort secretly.

For a while, Zong Zhengke also had dinner, and Xu came over with a thick list of gifts to invite her to take a look. Because he was in a hurry to talk to Mei Niang, Fang Cai Zong Zhengke just asked the Xu family to accept the gift from the eldest princess's mansion, and did not look at it carefully. After Xu finished measuring the size, he hurriedly took Mingxin Mingyue to count the gifts one by one on the list, and moved them to the warehouse on the third floor to put them away.

Zong Zhengke flipped through it casually and knew it in his heart. The gifts given to her by the eldest princess's mansion were very rich, all kinds of medicinal herbs, precious clothes, head and face jewelry, calligraphy and painting ornaments, and all kinds of carriages, I am afraid that they were more than the rest of the Zongzheng family. Among them, there are three antique treasures that are old and have a long history, and it is difficult to buy them even if you have money.

But is it really good to take this thing? Zong Zhengke flipped to the end of the gift list, picked up a slightly yellowed deed, looked at Xu's fox and said suspiciously: "The title deed of the study? ”

The corners of Xu's mouth smiled, and there was suddenly a lot of different meaning in his expression, and he said softly: "According to the grandmother who followed the car, this is what Fourth Young Master Pei personally confessed. It also allows you to send people to take over the shop, whether you continue to run the study or change to another business. ”

This is what Pei Si said at that time? Zong Zhengke smiled and shook his head, he didn't think it was the same thing, so he accepted it indifferently, and only said: "That aunt Ming'er will go back to Fourth Young Master Pei personally, and I will send someone to pick up the shop in a few days." ”

Xu was holding things in his heart. Without asking the girl's thoughts, she wouldn't want to sleep tonight. She responded first, and when she came to get the gift list, she smiled and said, "The girl will be married in two years." When your mother was your age, there were many people who inquired about her openly and secretly. Girl. The slave and maid looked at the slave and maid of the eldest princess's mansion and was very respectful. ”

Zong Zhengke raised his eyebrows slightly, took the gift list from Xu's hand, re-selected the title deed and put it on the table, and said with a sinking face: "Auntie, return this title deed to Fourth Young Master Pei." ”

She was negligent for a moment. Once he takes over the study from Pei Si's hands, I am afraid that some things will have to be put on the table for discussion. But she never had any intention of getting married.

Xu Shi was stunned, stunned for a moment, and said astringently: "Girl, even if you go out of the pavilion and get married, you can also serve the Buddha." ”

"But Uncle Chengjing has cut me off, at least until I am eighteen years old, it is not suitable to marry. Otherwise......" Zong Zhengke's face was calm, as if he didn't see Xu's suddenly pale face, "Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be a suspicion of Kefu." ”

This is indeed true. Chengjing Shenni also cultivates the Heavenly Eye Vision, although it is not like Zong Zhengke, who has the experience of his previous life, some of his assertions are also extremely accurate. This kind of big thing that matters the fate of the individual. Shenni seldom spoke, but he hit all of them.

Xu snorted, and wanted to say, "Girl, you yourself are Venerable Su Hui, there must be some way to resolve this situation, besides, eighteen years old is not too late, don't you want to marry...... don't you?" She could only sigh lightly and said, "Girl, the slave doesn't dare to persuade you to anything. Think about the old lady. ”

Grandfather really cared for him, so Zong Zhengke lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "Anything that may cause trouble." In the future, my aunt will pay more attention. Even if I forget, my aunt will remind me. As for the grandfather...... I'll talk about that later. She sighed softly.

"The slave knows." Xu bent his knees and blessed his body, took the gift list and land deed, and retired to do business. She still had to think about it a little bit to be thoughtful. You must not offend the eldest princess's mansion, nor can you cut off this road outright.

It's so late, and it's not good for the maids and servants in Qingyilou to go out to run errands again. But this kind of thing of returning other people's gifts has to be done quietly at night, otherwise both sides will not look good. And when it comes to decency, the head of the family must also be informed.

Xu personally went to the inner study of Helu Tongchun Hall to meet Zong Zhengjin, and said respectfully: "The girl said. When she saves people's lives, she actually accumulates merits and good results, which is also extremely beneficial to her own practice. She also has to thank Fourth Young Master Pei, so she can't deserve Fourth Young Master Pei's thanks. As for the reward of the eldest princess, the elder cannot give it; Second, if the elder's intentions are disappointed, it is difficult to say whether she will leave karma behind, so she has the shame to accept it. But sitting in the study, the girl said that she could not keep it. ”

has been immersed in officialdom for decades, how can Zong Zhengjin not understand the deep meaning behind Xu's high-sounding rhetoric? He estimated that this usually quiet granddaughter was only afraid that she had vaguely guessed something, which was to show her attitude to him and the eldest princess's mansion by sitting idly in the study.

Zong Zhengjin simply accepted the title deed, and immediately sent someone to call Man Tangzheng, and asked him to take this title deed to the eldest princess's mansion. He also confessed to the full house, and only said that he meant it - he only found this left land deed in the carriage that sent Fourth Young Master Pei back to his house today, because he was afraid that the Fourth Young Master would be of great use, so he ordered it to be sent over overnight.

He had already figured it out, no matter how Xuan He was in the eldest princess's mansion, and how outstanding Pei Si's character was, he would never consider marrying Ke'er before Pei Si's body and bones were completely recovered. This is a major event in the girl's family's life, and there is no room for luck!

Seeing that Zong Zheng had taken everything on himself, Xu was grateful and relieved. In the end, her own girl is not lonely, and her grandfather loves her sincerely, and he refuses to let her face the unhappiness that may come from the eldest princess's mansion.

Mantang was peeking at Xu's family, and when he saw that she suddenly looked over, her Ying Ying's eyes seemed to be full of affection. His heart was hot, and he simply gave Zong Zheng a neat salute, turned around and strode away.

Zong Zhengjin had a little smile in his eyes. But the Xu family is afraid that he will marry with Zong Zhengke in the future, and if he wants to realize his wish, he will have to leave the Zong Zheng family. However, when he thought that Ke'er did not have the protection of her parents and the support of her brothers and sisters, if Xiaoman was willing to be her companion family, he would be more relieved to close his eyes in the future.

As soon as he thought of this, Zong Zhengjin carefully asked the Xu family about Zong Zhengke's daily trivialities, and said with a smile at the end: "If Ke'er needs anything, it is inconvenient for you to do it for her, you can go directly to find Xiaoman." You can rest assured that he is in good hands. ”

Xu lowered his eyebrows and bowed his knees to Zongzheng, and responded: "Thank you old lady, I was about to report to the old lady, because there was no girl of the right age to be a second-class girl in the last purchase, and the girl meant to let the slave find two more suitable people to come in." ”

"This is a trivial matter, let Xiaoman help you do it tomorrow." Zong Zhengjin took out a book from the study drawer, opened it casually and picked out a silver ticket and handed it over, "Where is there enough for a birthday gift of one hundred taels of silver, and Ke'er is filial to a lot of clothes." You can bring the five hundred taels back to Ke'er, telling her not to wronged herself, and to live as she pleases. If you have any needs, either tell me, or go directly to Xiaoman to say. ”

The Xu family was even more happy, not for the silver, but for the old lady's caring heart. She respectfully accepted the silver ticket, and remembered that Zong Zhengke still needed to be served properly, so she went back.

After she left, Zong Zheng sat down slowly and let out a long sigh. He is almost in the prime of life, how long can he live? When he was alive, he could give Ke'er as much as he could. But no matter what, he has to hold out until Ke'er is out of the cabinet!

I didn't know that I had been classified by the old lady as one of the three girls' accompanying family members, and hurriedly rushed to the mansion of the eldest princess of Qinghe in Ankang Road. Fortunately, Pei Si fell ill that day, and Zong Zhengjin went to visit the patient with Pei Yuma, and he also accompanied him. Otherwise, it was so late, and it was unknown whether the porter of the eldest princess's mansion would help him go to the communication.

Rao is like this, Man Tangzheng also said all the good things with a smiling face, and also sent a red envelope of two taels before being allowed to sit in the gatehouse and wait. After a while, a small servant beside Pei Yuma hurriedly came. When Man Tangzheng saw someone coming, he bowed in a panic and said with a smile: "How dare you work at such a late hour, little brother Yayin, little brother has worked hard." ”

Yayin didn't dare to hold it up, so she hurried over a few steps to support Mantang's arm, and affectionately led him through the gatehouse to the house, and said with a smile: "Uncle Man has tormented the little nephew, but I don't dare to be your 'little brother'." When the horse master heard that Uncle Man had arrived, he specially ordered his little nephew to take it out. What's the urgency of this? ”

Behind the porter was a long corridor, and the two of them stopped to talk. In the dim yellow halo of the palace lights on both sides, Man Zheng smiled sincerely, and was a little anxious, and lowered his voice and said: "I don't know if the fourth young master is in better health, our old lady is very worried." Because we want to prepare our girl for the eldest princess's birthday, the carriage that the girl sent the fourth young master back to the house last time was cleaned today, and I didn't want to find a title deed. The old lady of our family was afraid that this land deed was brought by the fourth young master when it was useful, so he ordered me to send it over quickly. ”

Yayin blinked her eyes and couldn't speak for a long time. Looking at the concern and sincerity on Mantang's face, he really wanted to ...... He couldn't think of anything, so he could only pinch the title deed that Mantang was sending back with such a righteous and bright reason.

Man Tangzheng laughed twice, patted Yayin's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Little brother Yayin, I won't go in so late, please send the deed back to the fourth young master." I'll say goodbye, don't be too little for this idea, it's the uncle's intention. As he spoke, he shoved a silver ticket of ten taels through, then turned and walked straight to the door.

Where did Yayin dare to answer, but he was only a sixteen-year-old boy, and he couldn't be strong enough to be in the prime of life, so he could only half-open his mouth, sizzling and inhaling cold air and calling out. He stretched out his arm and shook the title deed in his hand, and when the night wind blew, he felt that his cold hair stood on end. (To be continued.) )
