Zu Baishou continued like this for a while, occasionally opened his eyes to look, but he couldn't speak, even so the Zu family was still very happy, feeling that this was a good omen.

Shanbao thought, who knows if Zu Baishou is returning to the light.

The reconstruction of the guest house has also been carried out for a while, when the apricot blossom in front of the hugging house blooms, the guest house has been beamed on the wall and tiled on the house, many craftsmen are working day and night, and the grandfather who is responsible for this errand also left the books and the stars and the moon to take care of it, when Aunt Li is bragging everywhere about how capable her son is, the corner room newly built in the guest house for stacking sundries fell down with a bang, and everyone ran to see it one after another, and then pointed the finger at Zu Gongwang, saying that he had unfavorable supervision, and said that he had deducted the money for the reconstruction of the guest house and cut corners. Shanbao, who was sitting in the hugging building, was not in a hurry.

Li Qingzhao couldn't help but say, "The house has fallen, why aren't you in a hurry." ”

Shanbao was keeping accounts one by one, and said without raising his head: "Are there any casualties?" ”

Li Qingzhao shook his head: "I haven't heard of it." ”

Shanbao replied: "It's an inconspicuous corner room?" ”

Li Qingzhao nodded: "Yes." ”

Shanbao put the pen on the pen holder, and looked at the account book, which was all the expenses after the rebuilding of the guest house, and I don't know if she said the things in the account books or the collapse of the house, but said, "This is very good." ”

The second monk Li Qingzhao was puzzled: "Is it okay if the house falls?" ”

Shanbao beckoned Jin Se to add tea, and said with a smile: "It's not the main house that is time-consuming, laborious, and silver-intensive, isn't it good?" Wouldn't it be nice if there were no casualties among the craftsmen or even their families? ”

Li Qingzhao pondered: "That's the reason. ”

Shanbao took a sip of tea and was full of thoughts: "This matter is worth celebrating." Tonight, the wine will be set in the flower hall. ”

Li Qingzhao didn't understand again: "Pour a house and set up a wine to celebrate, don't you need it?" ”

Shanbao smiled secretly: "It must be used." ”

For this eccentric cousin, Li Qingzhao felt that she must have some ulterior secret.

Shanbao does what he says. That night, a banquet was set up in the flower hall, and the male and female masters of the ancestral family and the housekeeper Lao Hao were invited.

The night breeze is sultry, the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating, the wine is intoxicating, and the pretty maids are seductive, and after the grandfather of the party involved in this matter was scolded by his mother, he actually broke the jar and closed the door and played a game of cat and mouse with the girls in the room. When the servant girl caught him, he could kiss him for free, and when he caught the servant, he had to listen to him recite the "Long Song Xing" ten times, and he heard that Shanbao wanted him to go to the flower hall to go to the banquet and became afraid.

The eldest girl rose said: "Hengzhu, you are the fourth young master of the ancestral family." It's hard for grandma to eat you. ”

Grandpa Wang's ears have always been soft, and as soon as Rose said that he was confident, he took a handmaid to the flower hall, and was intercepted by Aunt Li halfway. Pointing to his head, he hated that iron could not become steel and said: "The fourth young master doesn't want to save himself at this time." Is it possible to expect the grandmother to let you go and collapse the house, one is unlucky, and the other is that it costs so many wood and stone so many craftsmen to build the house and fall, how much responsibility you have. ”

Rose protected the master and said, "Auntie, don't say a few words, the fourth young master is annoying here." ”

Aunt Li spat at the rose: "The second young master respects me as the second mother." You slut will die if you call me the second lady? ”

Rose was scolded for no reason, and turned around angrily to wipe her tears. Zu Gongwang handed her a smoked and fragrant handkerchief, and said to his old lady angrily: "You asked me to take this errand at the beginning, I was not interested at all, but now you know how to scold when something happens." ”

The five young masters of the ancestral family, the most useless is their own son, Aunt Li sighed one after another, thinking about how she could give birth to such a waste, but there is only such a son, and she has to be thoughtful for him, so she offered a plan: "The people who scold you are all for your good, and I am afraid that I will have a plot against you to make you happy, and after that, I will have more contact with people like the second young master, and less crazy trouble with these foxes." ”

Rose knew that she was scolding her, so she dropped her grandfather's handkerchief and ran away crying.

Grandma wanted to chase after him, but Aunt Li grabbed him: "You hurry up and ask the grandmother to open the net, after all, the grandmother is young and good-hearted, and she has a thin face, as soon as you beg her, she will be able to spare you, maybe she can think of a foolproof plan for you, after all, now she is the big boss of the ancestral family, and no one dares to object when she opens her mouth, otherwise just wait for the big guy to laugh at you, especially your brothers, who hate you for not dying." ”

Grandpa looked down and thought about it, feeling that what the old lady said was reasonable, so he came to Baoxia with a cheeky face, and just when Shanbao came out and wanted to go to the flower hall, he saw Shanbao fall to his knees and fell to the ground, which scared Shanbao.

"Fourth Young Master, what's the matter, the man has gold under his knees, so he can kneel whatever he says." Shanbao asked Jin Se to go over and support Zugongwang.

Zu Gongwang said with a crying voice: "The house fell, I didn't mean it, and please spare me this time, our family, the eldest brother's mother is the father's original wife, the eldest brother is the eldest son, respected, the second brother's mother is also the wife of the main room, and the second brother is famous from the ancestral family to the entire Lei Gong Town and even the capital, the third brother has a big temper and ordinary people dare not provoke him, the fifth brother was born with a popular like him, I am alone, and I am the only one, and there is such a mother who is annoying to people by playing right and wrong everywhere, and she has no power to restrain the chicken, and she can't get famous in reading, I don't understand business, so I got the errand of rebuilding the guest house, and now there is such a thing, if the little lady doesn't save me, I can't hold my head up in front of my brother and be a man from now on. ”

He said it with great affection, and finally wiped away tears.

Shanbao actually expected that he would come to him, maybe he couldn't think of this, but his mother could think that he came the best, and he fell into the trap he had planned, and initially promised to let him take such an errand, because he didn't want to offend Aunt Li and Wen Wanyi, but he knew that he couldn't, on the surface, he was in charge of things, and secretly Shanbao and Zugong took care of him, so Shanbao wanted to take this opportunity to take him, not afraid of others, afraid that he would listen to Aunt Li's words, and continue to deduct the money for the reconstruction of the guest house. Anyway, this fourth young master is not bad-hearted.

Shanbao said: "It's okay to let me help you, but you have to promise me to take the initiative to unload this errand, which is also called blaming yourself." ”

Zu Gongwang had no reason not to agree, so he said yes twice, and Shanbao taught him a few more words. Then they came to the flower hall with their front and back feet.

Apricot trees are planted all around the flower hall, a tree is blooming lively, and the flower hall is more lively. poured the house and set up wine to celebrate, everyone felt that the good little lady was too incredible, and the outspoken Zu Gongdao even shouted: "She poured the house and put wine to celebrate, if our father died, would she sing a big drama and set off firecrackers?" ”

Grandpa Yuan sat lazily on the chair with his huge head drooping, and listened to the third brother say this, and hurriedly scolded him: "Dad, don't talk nonsense." ”

Zu Baifu leisurely sipped tea, looking at Zu Gongwang who was hiding in the corner and hanging his head. He secretly admired his wife Dou's clever calculation, and asked him to instigate Aunt Li to find this errand for his grandfather, just because he knew that his grandfather was overwhelmed. will inevitably cause trouble, the bigger the better, the bigger the good little lady is more tired of coping, and maybe there will be times when she can't cope with it. Then sit and reap the benefits yourself. Little by little, remove all the stumbling blocks in front of him, and his ancestral house belongs to his second room.

But at the moment, Zu Baifu couldn't figure out why Shanbao wanted to invite everyone, and he was faintly ominous in his heart, and wanted to knock on the side from other people, but saw that Shanbao was accompanied by Li Qingzhao and a few maidservants into the flower hall. Shanbao hummed and sat down first, and then ordered, "Let's eat." ”

The maidservants rushed in. Plates of delicacies were put on the table, a jar of old wine was poured into the cup, and one by one the male and female masters entered the table, or Zu Gongdao couldn't bear to be curious, and asked Shanbao: "Pouring the house is not a natural disaster or **, putting wine to celebrate, do you think that our ancestral family is not unlucky enough." ”

Zu Gonglu was not there, and when Zu Gongqing saw that there was no one to protect Shanbao, he pulled Zu Gong and said: "Third brother, how can you talk to Xiao Niang like this." ”

Zu Gongdao's eyes glared: "You let everyone tell me, first my father had an accident, and then the guest house was burned down, and now the house has collapsed for no reason, and I don't go to the mage to find Mr. Feng Shui to see, but here to eat and drink to celebrate, do you think this house is falling well, or do you think that our ancestral family are all fools." ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone responded, and Zu Gongdao's words were really doubtful in Zu Gongqing's heart, so he looked at Shanbao and hoped that she could give a reasonable explanation.

Zu Baifu silently recited one, two, three, hoping that Shanbao would be speechless, and then everyone would criticize her.

Shanbao calmly sandwiched a chicken leg for Li Qingzhao and said, "You have lost weight recently, make up for it." ”

Li Qingzhao touched her fat cheeks, she eats roast chicken every day, and the old Feng's roast chicken shop also gave her a plaque as an honorary customer for this, why did she lose weight? Suddenly felt that something was wrong, my cousin rarely flattered himself like this, the so-called nothing to be courteous or a thief, looking at the current situation, probably my cousin was afraid that the ancestral family would attack her, and wanted to help her fight, looking around, all of them were hideous, and the ancestor alone couldn't beat him, so he hurriedly returned the chicken leg to Shanbao, and said: "I've been losing weight recently." ”

Shanbao also rarely saw Li Qingzhao refusing to eat meat, and asked curiously: "Why did you lose weight?" ”

Li Qingzhao thought about it and came up with a reason: "Spring outing." ”

When it comes to the spring outing, Shanbao remembered many years ago, Li Qingzhao and the scholar made an appointment to meet on the spring outing, and the guy ran away when he saw her, and finally sold himself to the Gongzi Pavilion and refused to get along with Li Qingzhao, so he asked: "Who are you dating this time?" ”

Li Qingzhao was an excuse, where was there an appointment with someone, but at the beginning of the lie, it must be rounded, think about it, think about it, come up with someone: "Gongluo." ”

Because her grandfather was not there, she dared to lie.

Shanbao heard that Zu Gongluo was approached by Aunt Qiao to discuss matters tonight, and he couldn't guess what they were discussing, but he understood that Li Qingzhao was using Zu Gongluo to cover up, and he didn't poke her, and he felt that he had whetted the appetite of those people, and seeing that everyone was waiting for his own explanation, he took a sip of wine, which was a little spicy, and he pressed it after eating a mouthful of food, and said: "The house that fell down is not a natural disaster, let alone **, but I let people push it down." ”

Everyone is stunned.

She turned a blind eye and continued: "A few days ago, the Rong family of Hejian Mansion brought a letter, and Miss Rong was going to come over as a guest. ”

Everyone was in an uproar, and they all looked at Zu Gongqing, because Zu Gongqing and Miss Rong were not married, and it was really difficult for her to come to her husband's house as a guest.

Shanbao ignored everyone's curiosity, and continued: "Because Miss Rong is a female dependent, and she has not yet married the fifth young master, it is inconvenient to come to live in our house, I want to place her in the guest house, because it is inconvenient for her to live at home, I want to build a garden in the corner room, so that Miss Rong can go to the garden when she is bored, and not use the main courtyard." ”

The reason for this is unassailable.

Zu Baifu was eating tea with his head bored, of course he didn't believe that it was Shanbao who deliberately demolished the house, he had already asked the husband who played the watch in the guest house, in the middle of the night, for no reason, the house collapsed, and the husband was scared to the point that the seven souls flew out of the six spirits, so it was very profound, Zu Baifu understood that this was Shanbao lying, I am afraid it was not for Zu Gongwang but for herself, secretly said that this good little lady is extraordinary, she wanted to use Zu Gongwang to hit her, but let her find such a reason to hide, looked at Zu Gongqing, and said lightly: "Miss Rong is here, Just give them a marriage. ”

Zu Gongqing suddenly objected loudly.

Zu Gongdao snorted in his nose: "The daughter of the Rong family can't wait, send it to the door by herself." ”

His wife Fang secretly pulled off his clothes, signaled him not to talk nonsense, and then secretly glanced at the ancestral princess.

Regarding Miss Rong's coming as a guest, Zu Gongqing had already heard Shanbao mention it, and he was even ready to run away from home, but he said: "Fifth Young Master, if you leave at this time, others must think that you are because of the slave maid, and the slave maid has become the target of the public, so why should you stay in the ancestral family." ”

The reason why Zu Gongqing didn't leave was because of Coral, but he made up his mind not to marry Miss Rong, and I heard that Shanbao arranged Miss Rong to live in the guest house, and he was a hundred in favor, so that he would not bow his head and not look up with Miss Rong, so he said: "Little Niang arranged it like this, we have nothing to say." ”

Zu Gongdao still has objections: "Even if the house was deliberately demolished by Xiaoniang, Gongwang is supervising the reconstruction of the guest house, why doesn't he know about it?" Could it be that he is just an ornament. ”

Zu Gongwang muttered in a low voice: "I am a Confucian student, I study to seek fame, and I know how to build a house and a hospital." ”

Zu Baifu smiled slyly: "You don't understand, who mined those wood and stones?" Who got those craftsmen back? ”

Zu Gongwang followed what Shanbao had taught before, and said: "Xiao Niang, it is Xiao Niang who found the craftsman for the wood and stone she procured. ”

Zu Gongdao laughed: "Sure enough, you are a waste." ”

Aunt Li saw that her son was forced to squat in the corner, licking the calf deeply, and said: "Take advantage of this opportunity, the fourth young master will quit this errand, go back and continue to study hard, and get ahead sooner or later." ”

Zu Gongwang nodded: "That's what I mean." ”

As he spoke, he turned to Shanbao and said that he didn't understand the matter of building a house and wanted to quit his errand.

What was planned, Shanbao easily agreed.

The matter was resolved, each had their own hearts, and those who believed and did not believe continued to eat and drink, Zu Baifu said that he was not comfortable, and went back to his home, saw his wife Dou, and told her in detail what happened in the flower hall.

Dou Shi sighed with emotion: "This good little lady is really not ordinary, I am afraid that she played a double reed with Gongwang, she used a strategy to kill two birds with one stone, and successfully recaptured the beauty of the guest house to rebuild, and let Gongwang mother and son read her good, this good little lady is really a fox who has practiced for thousands of years." ”

Her family scolded angrily, and the fox who had practiced for thousands of years was gnawing on chicken legs with her cousin, discussing the matter of a spring outing another day.

At this time, Ah Jiu came in and reported: "Grandma, there is a Xi'an county lord to see you. ”

Xi'an? Also the county lord? Shanbao was stunned, he didn't have such a relative or friend. (To be continued.) )
