The imminent return of Inspector Zuo to Beijing has caused quite a stir in the northwest city.

Originally, this official's style was unpredictable, but now he was leaving, and all the officials took advantage of this last opportunity to give a good gift to win the favor of the inspector.

However, the Chu family is different from other families, the status is already high, and the military power is feared by the imperial court.

Chu Pei looked at the gift list prepared by the Liao family, thought about it again and again, and still discussed it with the Marquis of Subei.

The Chang family and the Zhou family also prepared a gift list for the inspector, and the Marquis of Subei took it, put it together with the second room, and handed it to Chu Pei, saying, "Look at it, can you see the problem?" ”

Chu Pei took it over and took a look, he has been doing housework all year round, and he can't see the problem at a glance? bluntly said: "This gift is too heavy. With the income of the Chu family and our Zhuangzi, it is reasonable to come up with so many things. The three of us are so anxious......"

Su Beihou knocked on the table with his hand and said, "This is a big problem. It is reported that Zuo Litai was also ordered by the emperor to investigate and punish the officials who were greedy for ink in the northwest city. Although it is on the surface to investigate local officials, but in the northwest, if you want to do something, you have to go through our Chu family? So in essence, the emperor is going to check us. ”

Chu Pei was shocked: "How can that be good?" Originally, the eldest brother held the military power in the northwest, and he was already feared by the imperial court, but now if he adds another greedy ink, then our Chu family will really die......"

"If you know, it's good." The Marquis of Subei sighed heavily, "It seems that the emperor can't wait, one road can't go through, and he has to find another way, the purpose is to eradicate our Chu family and clear the military power." It's time for us to find a way back......"

Chu Pei was also melancholy, and asked: "But the emperor still has to draft, obviously to balance the forces of the previous dynasty by filling the harem, isn't it to show favor to us?" ”

"This is the strength of the emperor, although he has to deal with the four of us, he will not fight a battle without a chance of winning. In the current situation, he doesn't have good cards in his hand, so he really tears his face with us. There was no benefit, so a delaying tactic was made. When the evidence in hand is full, let's give us a surprise attack. As he spoke, Su Beihou smiled coldly again. said: "It's just that he still underestimated us, he can delay the army, and we can also take the opportunity to find a good way out." When the time comes, you really have to live and die, and maybe who will have the last laugh. ”

Chu Pei didn't expect Subei Hou's ambition to be so big, and he couldn't accept it for a while. said: "Big brother, your plan is to push the Chu family to the land of no return......"

Subei Hou said: "The winner is the king, and the loser is the coward, which is also forced by the emperor's boy." ”

"But eldest brother, have you ever thought that if you fail, what can more than a hundred people from the Chu family do?"

Su Beihou looked down on Chu Pei's timidity and fear, and said: "You are really, you have been taking care of the housework at home, but you have become timid." Since I can think of this path, I will naturally think of a way to save my family's life. You don't have to worry about it. ”

Chu Pei still wanted to persuade Subei Hou: "The rest of us are good to say." Sister Dan has entered the palace, what can I do then? ”

"Then it won't take care of that much. The Chu family gave birth to her and provided her with good food and drink for so many years, and it should be time for her to repay her. ”

As the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children, but Subei Hou can give up Danyu, Chu Pei's coldness.

In the days when she was preparing for the New Year, Hui Yu was really not idle, running here and there with Liao. I have to get up early in the morning to discuss things. I'm so tired that I don't get enough sleep......

But I really learned a lot. For example, how to buy New Year's goods and how to distribute them. I learned all the ways to prepare gifts for every household in the city.

It's really uplifting......

Hui Yu was on the bed, and Ren Tang's mother was kneading and pinching behind her back.

Caiyun said: "This time, the girl has learned enough about the feed. I see that the second lady has begun to let go and let the girl take care of things. ”

Hui Yu really didn't think housekeeping was a good thing, and if she could, she would rather be an idle lady...... Then he said: "The second aunt is just too busy to catch me, a strong man." Otherwise, with the level of my half bucket of water, where can people look at it. ”

As soon as the words fell, Duo Yu's voice sounded, and said, "The words of the third sister can make people envious and jealous." How many people want to learn management but can't, but let you play out of tune. Doesn't that mean that those of us who don't have a chance can't do it? ”

Seeing Duo Yu coming in, Hui Yu was embarrassed to lie on the bed anymore, so she sat up and said, "Sister, this is standing and talking without back pain." It's never too late for you to judge when you're really in charge. ”

Duo Yu sat on the stool next to the bed, sighed, and said, "With my identity, I won't be the housewife if I get married." I guess I didn't have a chance to experience this hard work. ”

Hui Yu smiled: "Listening to my sister's tone, it's like I'm going to betrothal you." I'm still older than you, and I haven't landed yet, so how can it be your turn......"

Duo Yu suddenly became upset and said: "Speaking of this, I don't know if it's true, my aunt said that several families are going to propose to my sister, but somehow, there are problems one after another, and they haven't been able to get a commission, and now there are a lot of rumors in the city, only saying that my sister is an ominous ......."

This should be Li Che's doing, only in this way can those who want to marry him be discouraged. It's just that his reputation can't be protected. You can't have both fish and bear's paws, and you will lose if you have gains......

Seeing that Huiyu didn't speak, Duo Yu thought she was sad, and comforted: "Actually, it's okay, it's not a good person." Don't pour it down. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he said: "But if you can't decide on someone else, is the third sister going to participate in the draft?" ”

Hui Yu had a score in her heart, but she couldn't tell Duo Yu well, so she changed the topic and said: "When it comes to the draft, I don't know how the second sister is preparing?" ”

Speaking of this, Duo Yu seemed to be energetic, and said: "It is said that the eldest aunt and aunt have put a lot of effort into the second sister. I invited a special grandmother to teach not to say, and made a lot of new clothes, new jewelry, you didn't see that Duobaolou running to Liuli Pavilion all day long, I'm afraid that the treasures of the town tower will be taken out......"

Danyu did add a lot of new ornaments, but they didn't look good, and they always thought it was not good, so the people of Duobaolou changed it back and forth, and changed it a lot, and the faces of the people in Duobaolou were not good-looking.

Aunt Yang couldn't help but persuade: "Don't be too picky, girl." The slave and maid looked at those ornaments and exchanged them, and when the time came, the lady would have to say you again. ”

Danyu casually picked up a carved gold bracelet, put it on his hand, looked left and right, took it off again, put it in the brocade box next to it, and said to Ling'er: "It's not good-looking, I'll reward you." ”

Ling'er was overjoyed and thanked her again and again.

Aunt Yang couldn't see it, held down Danyu's hand, and said, "Girl, did you listen to what the slave maid said?" ”

Danyu picked up another bracelet and put it on his hand, saying, "I heard it." ”

"Then you still give that bracelet to Ling'er? The newly made bracelet, you didn't even wear it, and you rewarded someone, if this is passed out, how can it be good? Aunt Yang looked anxious.

Danyu continued to try on the ornaments and said, "What is my aunt anxious about?" In this draft, it is the family background, and those who can throw money will go far. I'm just the beginning, and I'm going to have more places to spend money in the future. After speaking, he raised the jade bracelet in his hand, looked at the sun, looked at it carefully, and said: "I am paving the way for the future of the Chu family, and it is always not an exaggeration to spend some money on me."
