Chapter 297 Retreat is advance

Lin Xi proposed to finish the inventory of several Zhuangzi in one go, and Li Congwang asked fox friends to drink flower wine in the past few days, listen to the big play, and his face was embarrassed when he heard the words, but he said that this matter was not in a hurry.

As soon as the word "not in a hurry" came out, I saw that Lin Xi's beautiful face had been pulled down. How dare Li Congwang offend the little aunt and grandmother in front of him, he had to respond.

Lin Xi had a smile on his face.

The two of them finished eating, and Li Congwang squeaked and asked Lin Xi to go back to the house first, saying that he had some personal matters and would return home later.

It turns out that this Li Congwang has recently got a new stunner and is on the rise. The house is busy with happy events, and his feet do not touch the ground, and he has not touched the body of the stunner for a few days.

Lin Xi knew that he was going to look for flowers and ask willows, but he didn't care, and only told him to come back early.

After returning home, Li Fengjin and his wife had already left hand in hand.

Lin Xi first went to Hou Ye to inform the situation of the shop one by one, and then told him about tomorrow's plans, the grandparents and grandchildren fought chess, and she took half a catty of good Biluochun before returning to the hospital.

Nothing was said all night.

……

Gaofu, inner house.

In the Chaochun courtyard, Xia Yinrou held the stove, took the book handed by Zhengyang, and put it aside without looking at it, and said, "Mother Liu, is the dowry list of the first lady here?" ”

Mother Liu raised her head and said, "It's all here." Mrs. Xian had her last words before she died, and these were left to the eldest lady as a dowry. ”

Xia Yinrou smiled faintly and said, "Since it was left by the first lady, there is no need to show me this dowry list." Thou shalt have someone copy it again, and keep it for the record. ”

"Back to Mrs. Hui. The eldest lady's dowry is not enough, the palace ......" Mother Liu deliberately muttered and did not say anything further.

"Mother Liu, there have always been rules in the house. It is well documented how much silver the young master used to marry his wife, and how much dowry the young lady gave to marry. Mom doesn't say, sir, Mrs. will also calculate. The eldest lady is a concubine, and she is the first girl in the house, and the old lady only said that she added it, and she had no intention of deducting it. ”

Zhengyang saw Liu's mother's words, half of which was left in half. I don't like it. simply put the words in the clear place: "Why did mom that idleness in vain." ”

Mother Liu's old face was white for a while and red for a while.

There are four young ladies in the house, and three young ladies have decided on someone's house. The emperor even accepted the concubine, and the wedding day will not be far away.

The eldest young master meant to wait for Aunt Cui to come out of the palace. He married the eldest lady. That's it. It will only take a year to prepare at most.

Who knows that madam, there is no movement at the master's end. It's okay for the old man, worrying about the affairs of the court. The affairs of the Wei delegation are not free to take care of.

But Mrs. is obviously presiding over Zhongkui, and she is the eldest lady's mother-in-law, so she should have handled this matter, but there was no movement, which made Mother Liu and others secretly a little anxious. In case the Xia family holds a grudge and wants to do something about the eldest lady's dowry, how can this be good?

So Mother Liu and Narcissus discussed, and then took out the dowry list of the first lady, first, to remind the Xia family, the eldest lady's dowry can be prepared, and secondly, to warn the Xia family, the eldest lady is married to the Cui family, if you dare to do anything about the dowry, you will lose not only the face of the eldest lady, but also the face of the prime minister's house.

Seeing that Mother Liu's face was embarrassed, Xia sneered: "Let's go back, after the anniversary of the first lady, the dowries of the three young ladies in the house will be slowly prepared." The eldest lady is a concubine, and the dowry given by the lord is three points thicker than that of other young ladies. ”

When Mother Liu heard this, she secretly said in her heart, if she didn't get three points, the Cui family would not be able to explain it.

Then he smiled and said: "Since the master, the lady has already planned, but the slave and maid are too careful." The slave and maid are gone! ”

"Wait!"

"What else does Madame command?"

"I heard that Liu's mother is the best at training people, and the eldest lady will marry the maid and the candidate for the room, and I will leave it to Liu's mother to decide."

When Mother Liu heard this, she was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Yes, madam!" ”

"I heard that Mrs. said first, in the future, Mother Liu will follow the eldest lady to marry to the Cui family?"

"Madame did say it before she died."

Xia glanced at Zhengyang, Zhengyang understood, and said with a smile: "Since Mother Liu is going to be busy with the eldest lady's marriage, and she is going to follow the eldest lady out of the house a year later, the errands in this mansion should also be handed over slowly, so as to save the time to be in a hurry, and you can't find a satisfactory person to take over." ”

Mother Liu's heart jumped in shock, and she was about to distinguish a few words, but she heard Xia Shi say lightly: "Zhengyang, go back and pick a loyal and capable person, and follow Mother Liu to learn." Don't ask her to learn from Liu's mother's ten things, only six or seven percent, and she can cope with it. ”

Zhengyang's eyes swept over Liu's mother's slightly green face, and said with a smile: "Yes, madam!" ”

"The maid next to the girl, a few years old, should be released out of sixteen, should be released with a small maid, should be matched with a small maid, this matter, I will also leave it to my mother to do." Xia said softly.

Mother Liu couldn't help snorting coldly in her heart, and the hand hidden in her sleeve clenched her fists and said yes one by one.

……

"Madame's move is to retreat into advance, it's really beautiful, Mother Liu's old face is so angry that it's blue and purple, she deserves it!" Zhengyang has always hated Mother Liu in front of Mrs. Xian, and when he saw her eating turtles, he was happy.

Xia Shi leaned on the collapse, and said with relief: "The two are the same, we should handle the public middle school, you bother more, Aunt Zhu, Aunt He made up for it in private, let's not interfere." The maids who accompany the marriage, the companion room only lets them toss by themselves. When you can save it, the good and the bad will be held on my head again! ”

"Madame, don't worry, I'll save it!"

Zhengyang thought for a while and said, "Madam, I've thought about it." Lin Xi was bought into the mansion by Mrs. Xian, and at the anniversary festival of Mrs. Xian, she was called to kowtow a few times, which was also made, madam, look ......"

Xia's eyebrows jumped, and his gentle eyes were full of surprise, but he hesitated: "She is now the young lady of the Hou Mansion, isn't it good to call her back rashly!" ”

"But there's nothing else to do. We broke off contact with the Hou Mansion because of the matter of the eldest young master, and the lady was worried about the sky again, and her soul was not guarded. Instead of dragging on like this, it's better to have a good time. ”

Zhengyang picked the wick, and the room became bright.

"The lotus flower in front of the eldest young master was originally her life-saving benefactor, and the lotus flower was favored a lot by her wife, if she was asked to say it, this matter would become seven points."

Xia turned his head, tears silently sliding from the corners of his eyes.

Zhengyang sighed secretly. Madame was afraid.

I am afraid that people will come, and in the end I will find that it is not a waste. I'm afraid that people are coming. It's the kid who did it. How to get along in the future.

This lady, who was afraid of torture, could not sleep peacefully at night, and could not be at ease at all times, and she was getting thinner and thinner. Instead of tormenting day and night like this. It's better to solve the mystery happily.

Zhengyang thought uses this. Then he got up and said, "Madame, rest." I'll go to the eldest young master's courtyard and take a look! ”

"Zhengyang, like this...... Is it appropriate? Xia grabbed her hand and said with a nervous face.

"Ma'am. It is reasonable that it will not arouse anyone's suspicion, which is very suitable! ”

Zhengyang said word by word.

……

Mother Liu came out of Chaochun Courtyard, her body paused in the night, and she raised her legs and went to the eldest lady's courtyard.

Gao Jasmine saw that she was coming, so she hurriedly asked the little maid to serve tea on the chair.

Liu's mother pushed back a few times, sat down half of the general, and took the tea.

"Miss, the matter is done, the lady has already spoken, the dowry in the public is prepared by the lord and the lady, and the next things, the lady has handed them all over to me. Mrs. also said that the eldest lady is a concubine, and the dowry is three points thicker than that of other young ladies. ”

Gao Jasmine seemed to have taken a reassuring pill and said with a smile: "It's hard for my mother." ”

Mother Liu said: "The maid Narcissus and I have already looked for a good match, and Mrs. Fang Xian has also explained before her death, now we just need to stare at the dowry of the princess and wait for Aunt Cui to come out of the palace." ”

Gao Jasmine was pink and reddish, and nodded shyly.

Mother Liu said, put the tea cup, and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Mom, what do you mean?"

"I want to ask the girl for a favor."

"Mom got up and spoke."

"The old slave wants to redeem the child Orange and put it outside to marry a flat-headed commoner!"

Gao Jasmine thought there was something big, but she never thought it was about oranges, so she smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this, I personally asked the Xia family for the deed of sale." Just ......"

Gao Jasmine helped Liu's mother up and said, "Isn't it good to let her follow me, my mother is so dedicated to me, I won't treat her badly." ”

Mother Liu said with tears in her eyes: "The old slave has nothing to ask for in this life, but to ask this child to be free, marry a small family, and be a grandmother innocently." ”

Gao Jasmine said disapprerovingly: "Since my mother insists, I naturally obeyed my mother's wishes." ”

Seeing that Mother Liu was suddenly going to redeem her daughter, Narcissus frowned slightly, and found a reason to send Mother Liu out.

took the opportunity to say: "Madame said, I'm afraid it's not these!" ”

Mother Liu picked her up and took her to the corner of the wall, and said in a low voice: "This woman is really a powerful character, I just mentioned the matter of the eldest lady's dowry, she is going to unload my errand, and also ordered me to release all the people in the house who are old, or match the little girl." ”

Narcissus changed color: "So, Madame is coming for you?" ”

Mother Liu said angrily: "Even if you don't come to me, you still want to give us a dismount, and now she is the master of the house, but she is Xia." ”

Narcissus sighed mournfully: "Mom, don't say it's us now, it's Zhu and He's two aunts, and they all retreat and refuse to face Maimang." ”

Mother Liu spat in the direction of Chaochun Courtyard and said, "The person with a black heart." When the eldest young master marries his daughter-in-law and becomes the master of the house, I will see what a good life she has! ”

"Shh

Narcissus hurriedly covered Liu's mother's mouth, looked around and said, "Speak lightly, beware that the wall has ears!" Let's help the eldest lady, Fang is serious. ”

……

The lotus sent Zhengyang away, stood under the eaves for a while, and then entered the eldest young master's study.

In the study, it was as warm as a spring day, and the two charcoal plates on the left and right were burning vigorously, and the handsome face of the eldest young master was slightly red.

The lotus touched the temperature of the teacup, and it was already icy in her hands, so she re-brewed a cup of hot water and put it on the table.

Gao Zizhan raised his face from the book and said, "Who came just now?" ”

"Back to the eldest young master, it's Zhengyang in front of the lady, come to talk to the slave!"

"Oh?"

Gao Zizhan sighed low from his throat: "She came to you, is there anything wrong?" ”

While sorting out the slightly messy bookcase, Lotus said softly: "It's not a big deal. The anniversary festival of the first lady, the house has to handle it. Because of the previous incident, the house and the Xiaoyao Marquis Mansion had a little unpleasant, and the last time Miss Li got married, she didn't even come to a post. Madame's meaning is to take advantage of this opportunity to invite Lin Xi over, and the two mansions can ease up. ”

Gao Zizhan frowned slightly, pursed his mouth at the book in his hand, and was stunned.

Lotus said again: "The slave maid thought that she was bought into the mansion by her wife, and when she was in this mansion in the past, she always said that she wanted to repay her wife's kindness, so she accepted it." I'll send her a post tomorrow. ”

Gao Zizhan's heart moved slightly, and there seemed to be a pair of dark and smart eyes in front of him, smiling shallowly. I haven't seen her for a few days since I went back to the restaurant, and I heard that the house is not very peaceful now, and even the palace has been alarmed, and I don't know how she is living......

Gao Zizhan was worried about Lin Xi, thinking about her identity as an illegitimate daughter, and intriguing with people in the gate of the mansion......

Gao Zizhan endured the pounding heart, and said quietly: "It's okay, when the sky is clear, you can go to the Hou Mansion!" ”

The lotus subconsciously disturbed the emerald bracelet in her hand, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, I had to make a few purses for her, and there is a confiscation line, the slave and maid will stay up all night today, and then they will not go empty-handed." ”

Gao Zizhan smiled faintly and said, "Go back, embroider one for me, and you want to have the same pattern as her." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lotus's mind rumbled, and suddenly thundered, and she murmured, "The eldest young master......"

Gao Zizhan glanced at her and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I have my own measure in this matter!" ”

……

On this day, Lin Xi got up early in the morning, washed up and stood in the courtyard, only to feel that the weather was gloomy, and the north wind was blowing on his face, which was a little stinging.

The ghost weather of the heart is suitable for roasting the fire in the room, tasting tea, eating delicious food, fighting chess with others, and going to the village today. It's a hard life!

Lin Xili sighed in the court for a long time before he went to the elders' room to say goodbye.

Accompanied by Hou Ye used two teas, left and waited for Li Congwang to come, and waited for Li Congwang to come, and was about to send someone to invite, but saw that Li Congwang had a swollen face, two panda eyes, and a false step, which was overindulgence at first glance.

Lin Xi was ashamed in his heart, and rolled his eyes at Li Congwang twice.

When Hou Ye saw his son's appearance, he was so angry that he scolded a few words. Li Congwang also knew that he was acting badly, so he accompanied a few smiling faces and said a few good words, and the uncle and nephew set off, and it was already two o'clock in the morning.

The carriage of the Hou Mansion left the capital, all the way to the north, the car squeaked and hoarse, unhurried and made the same sound, boring and boring.

Lynsey was jolted by the car, her eyes narrowed, and sleepiness struck.

When Xia Feng saw it, he hurriedly stuffed the brocade mat under Lin Xi's head, covered the bed blanket for her, and moved the charcoal tray behind her feet.

"Girl, take a break, there's still a long way to go!"

"Call me when it's time to do it!"

"Don't worry, slaves are staring!" (To be continued......)
