The 264th Mid-Autumn Festival Flower Viewing Banquet
Spring Night shook his head and said, "The slave and maid are standing outside, and no one is seen going out in the courtyard." ”
Xia Feng smiled: "Maybe the girl and the old man have a heart-to-heart connection." ”
"Well said!"
A smile flashed in Lin Xi's eyes: "Let's retreat and retreat, let's let go, now that we have figured it out, we should change our actions in the future." ”
Spring Night smiled: "The girl is planning to do it?" ”
The corners of Lin Xi's mouth curled: "It depends on whether she drills into it or not." On a spring night, you will enter the palace tomorrow and bring a message to the emperor and Cui Shishu for me. By the way, I went to Chunyang to drop a few eye drops. ”
"Don't worry, girl, the slave maid must have a good talk in front of Aunt Chunyang."
Xia Feng sneered: "Spring night, it's not just that one, there is also a big grandmother, don't forget." ”
"That's it!"
Dongxue said angrily: "Grandma is a human essence. sold the uncle in front of him and showed favor to the girl; The bullet couldn't suppress the uncle, so he borrowed the external force of his wife to put pressure on the girl. Back and forth, she is a good person. ”
Lynsey smiled and frowned. This was said bluntly and mercilessly, and Dongxue was obviously provoked.
"If you don't say it, I forgot, she asked me to maneuver for her eldest brother last time, and this time I entered the palace and said it together."
"Girl, you still help her. Her eldest brother was greedy and lawless, careless of people's lives, and sent Miss Nan to prison, not a good person. ”
Lin Xi smiled faintly and said: "What's the hurry, I just broke the sky for her, and the emperor will not use her again." ”
……
"What?"
Qian straightened up in shock: "The master asked Lin Xi to accompany the shop." ”
Gu Erjia hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'm afraid that today's incident, the master is really angry, and he deliberately did it for Mrs. You." ”
Qian's face was slightly stiff.
Gu Erjia was a little worried: "Madam, after these few temptations, the master is indeed extraordinary to Miss Lin. Even the uncle and the third master are lagging behind, madam, it's not a good thing. ”
A trace of pain flashed in Qian's eyes, and he said after a while: "It's really a ghost, I still underestimate that woman!" ”
Gu Erjia hurriedly said: "Miss Lin will be fifteen years old in the coming year, and it is time to discuss marriage, if there is a suitable one, she will accompany a thick dowry, and send it away." ”
Qian Shi gritted his back molars and said, "That's true. You keep an eye on me and ask around. ”
"Madam, madam, the lord sent two people to the uncle's courtyard!" A little girl in red lifted the curtain and came in to reply.
Gu Erjia waved his hand and said with a smile: "Madam, it's a good thing, my lord, he is taking care of this in the end." ”
Qian let out a breath of turbidity, frowned, and said, "The life in this mansion must be peaceful, and it is not okay to ignore it." ”
Gu Erjia was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
"Now, I'm a little curious about what tricks that woman has used, and after all these years, she has fascinated the old man. Even with the Queen Mother, her old man, also treated Lin Xi with green eyes. ”
Qian sighed faintly.
……
Li Conggao slapped his palm on the small table, and the teacup jumped, oozing a few traces of water.
Jiang Shi was taken aback, and said gently: "Second master, don't worry, not this time, let's find another opportunity." ”
Li Cong's high yin yin face showed a touch of ruthlessness: "It's been in vain for the master's scheming." ”
I thought that the old man would be able to provoke the anger in the old man's heart by seeing the scene of Qian and others persecuting Lin Xi, but the old man picked two women with outstanding looks in the mansion and gave them to the boss, so he pressed the matter lightly.
"Second master, although he favors Lin Xi, but that one is his eldest son. What's more, if it's stiff, how can Lin Xi live in this mansion. What the second master still needs to see is that there is news from the other end that the master will take Lin Xi to inspect the store tomorrow, which is good news for us. ”
Li pulled out of Gao's hand, gently stroked Jiang's Ruyu face, and suddenly smiled: "I was in a hurry." Today, I don't know why, I was thinking of watching a good show, but I don't know......"
Jiang said with a smile: "What is the second master anxious about, the good show is still to come." I see that Lynsey is a very wise one, and she will not disappoint us. ”
Li Conggao narrowed his eyes, kissed Jiang's face and said, "As long as we borrow her hand and get rid of those three people one by one, this Hou Mansion will fall into my hands sooner or later." ”
Jiang smiled happily: "By then, ......"
"When the time comes, I will be the upright owner of this mansion." Li flashed fiercely in Gao's eyes.
……
In the evening, Gao Zecheng returned home and went to the old lady's courtyard.
Wang was coaxing the old lady to laugh, and when he saw him coming, he smiled and said, "The old man is back!" ”
Gao Zecheng bowed his head slightly and replied.
Seeing this, Wang sneered and said, "I'll go for a walk outside!" ”
After leaving the hospital, Wang called the maid beside him, and whispered a few words in his ear, the little maid nodded, and ran into the night.
Gao Zecheng sat down, moistened his throat with tea and said: "Fifteen chrysanthemums in the palace, the house has received a post, which of the four girls to take?" ”
Old lady Gao frowned: "Chrysanthemum appreciation is fake, but it is true to see people." ”
"Exactly. The emperor is not young, and the candidates for the middle palace should also look good. So this time, the people invited to the palace were all young noble ladies. ”
Old Lady Gao's eyes flashed: "What do you think of that position?" ”
"Father means ......" Gao Zecheng kicked the ball back in an old-fashioned manner.
Old lady Gao said: "Our Gao family has produced a prime minister, a high-ranking official, but there has never been a queen. You forgot that now the three girls are coming out. ”
Gao Zecheng was shocked, he never thought that the old lady was fighting iris.
"Father, the marriage of the three girls, the Xia family is already looking at each other."
"Oh, which one are you looking at?"
"The Mei family in the capital!"
"The Mei family?"
The old lady stared and thought for a while, and sneered at the moment: "Marry a wife and marry low, marry a daughter and marry high." Of the girls in my house, only one is better than the other, and there is no one who is worse than the other. I don't know what to do! ”
Gao Zecheng said unhappily: "The Mei family has a good style, and men rarely take concubines!" ”
The old lady sneered more and more: "It has been natural for a man to take a concubine since ancient times. The men of the Mei family do not accept concubines, which can only explain one point. ”
"Which point?"
"The men in this house are all wretched, no wonder they are in the middle of the road, I will never allow such a family."
Gao Zecheng's face was a little ugly, and his eyes fell on one place, not for a long time.
The old lady let out a sigh of relief and said, "On the fifteenth, let the Xia family bring the eldest girl and the third girl into the palace, explain it, and make a few more clothes for this child." ”
……
In the Chaochun courtyard, Xia leaned on the couch with half squints, listening to what was going on in Zhengyang.
The marriage of the second lady in the house is decided, and she will start preparing for the dowry and other matters. Although this family affair was formed by the Zhu family, Aunt Zhu was a concubine in the end, and her daughter's marriage could only be accompanied by some dowry secretly, and she couldn't interfere with half of it on the surface.
Although Xia Yinrou had a headache, she had to take things down and deal with them with her heart. Rao is like this, and the Zhu family is still dissatisfied everywhere, for fear that the Xia family will have a personal vendetta and mistreat his daughter's dowry.
The master and servant were discussing, and Gao Zecheng came in.
Zhengyang closed his mouth in time, called the maid to come in to serve, and after a good time, he covered the door and left.
Gao Zecheng thought for a while and said, "On the fifteenth, you took the eldest girl and the third girl to the palace. The Queen Mother feasted the ladies of all provinces to appreciate the chrysanthemums. Ming'er bought some clothes and jewelry for these two girls, and she must not lose the face of the Prime Minister's house. ”
Xia Shi thought in his heart after hearing this. A few days ago, it was rumored that he was going to show for the new emperor, and this time he would hold a chrysanthemum banquet, could it be......
Xia's heart moved, and he said in a roundabout way: "Who have you invited?" ”
Gao Zecheng knew that she was smart, she knew everything, and she didn't hide it: "As you think, it's really going to be drafted for the emperor!" ”
"Do you have a favorite?"
Gao Zecheng smiled lightly: "How do I know that I can't escape those people." ”
Xia Shi was slightly worried and said: "The master only asked me to bring two sisters-in-law, the eldest lady has already made a marriage, could it be that the master wants to ......"
"It's not that I think, that's what my father meant."
Xia Shi knew that when the man said this, she must have been a little moved in her heart, she thought for a while and said, "Have you ever thought that our house is already full of flowers and flowers, and the fire is enjoying oil. The eldest young master has just solved the yuan in high school, and he will not be bad in the palace test in the future. If this will send the three girls to the palace again, the concubine will think that it will be ...... This is not a good thing. ”
Gao Zecheng's heart sank, and his brows furrowed violently.
Xia's words have some truth. The Gao family is already under one person and above ten thousand, if you send your daughter to the palace, the court, and the harem, they are all the world of the Gao family, and it is too much.
Xia saw that the old man's frowning brows were stretched little by little, so he didn't say more, and only called the maid to bring a fragrant embroidered quilt.
Gao Zecheng suddenly got up and said, "I'll go to the study and come back later, you don't have to wait for me to sleep first." ”
Xia watched the man leave, Zhengyang quietly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "I don't know if the master can figure it out." ”
"He's a smart man, so he understands the implications. The court and the harem can only take care of one end, and if both ends are stained, it will be a disaster. Xia whispered.
"Madame is the third lady, and it can be regarded as a hard work."
Xia sighed lightly: "In that place, you and I have stayed, eating people without spitting out bones." I raised her once, why bother to send her to that unsightly place. ”
……
Lin Xi's days of eating and waiting for death in the Hou Mansion finally ended completely under the order of the Hou Ye.
The so-called shop patrol, to put it bluntly, is that she follows behind Hou Ye's ass, listens to the steward's reply, and looks through the account book.
After a few days, Lin Xi realized that the name of the new upstart in the capital, the Hou Mansion was not in vain, not only the amount of the palace was in the palace, accounting for more than eighty percent, it was the jewelry and jade of Kyushu, and the Hou Mansion accounted for thirty percent. The most famous Tongling Pavilion in the capital is the property of the Hou Mansion.
What surprised her even more was that her grandfather and his old man had all the business of the Hou Mansion in their hands, and although the three uncles were all adults, they could not get involved in the slightest.
Lynsey gasped in shock. No wonder the three uncles spend money like running water all day long, Bao Xiaomi's Bao Xiaomi, and Ji's girl who plays Ji's girl, firstly, there is so much silver that there is nowhere to spend, and secondly, there is nothing to do except eat, drink and have fun.
Lin Xi couldn't help but smile at this grandfather who had nothing to drink and treat all day long.
The old man really has a bit of Taoism, otherwise, how can he create a huge family business from a small silversmith. Of course, there are people in the DPRK and China who are easy to handle, and this is also the biggest key.
It's just that it's easy to start a business and it's hard to keep a business, and it's also a troublesome question to whom this huge family business will be passed on to in the future.
As soon as the doubts in Lin Xi's eyes flowed out, the old man spoke. Of the three sons, only the youngest son can be reused. The implication is that he wants to leave the family business to his younger son.
Lin Xi broke out in a cold sweat. Before her cold sweat was wiped off, the old man said that half of the business was going to give her a dowry in the future. At this moment, Lin Xi's cold sweat was already dripping.
God, it seems that it was I Lin Xi who wronged you in the past, and you really treated me well. It's just that she can't afford this generous dowry. As big a person has a head, she wears as big a hat, and she doesn't let people say that she, an illegitimate daughter, only comes for money to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors.
……
The days went by
The weather in mid-August, autumn is thick, this day is beautiful and sunny, cloudless, it is a good day to enjoy the fun.
The Qian family blew a few cold winds last night, and it was a little unpleasant to get up early, so he ordered the eldest daughter-in-law Zhou to take Fengjin and Lin Xi to the palace together, and repeatedly told them not to lose their manners.
When the word "etiquette" was exported, Qian obviously glanced at Lin Xi, who came to visit the patient. Lin Xi lowered his eyebrows and noticed it, and he didn't say much, just responded one by one.
Therefore, early in the morning, the ladies of the Li Mansion dressed up properly and took a carriage all the way to the palace.
The carriage of the ladies of the Hou Mansion was about to leave, and a small sedan chair stopped at the gate of the mansion.
The maid opened the sedan curtain and helped down a slender woman, the woman's eyebrows and eyes were clear, and she looked at the wide, solemn door of the mansion fixedly.
"Grandma, shall we go in?"
"Since you're here, you're naturally going to go in."
The maid hesitated: "Grandma, who will you go to when you go in, the slave or the maid will directly report the name of the uncle?" ”
Xue Lian'er slowly stretched out a hand from her sleeve, slowly stroked her lower abdomen, and a smile trickled out: "Yueniang, let's not look for uncle today, let's look for Mrs." ”
……
Lin Xi and his entourage entered the palace gate, changed the sedan chair, and were led by the chamberlain, all the way to the Nagato Palace.
The sedan chair fell at the gate of the palace, and everyone got off the sedan chair, but saw that Chunyang had already stood with a smile.
Zhou Shunying was slightly frightened, and hurriedly walked a few steps forward to meet him.
Chunyang bowed his head towards the Zhou family, but his eyes fell on Lin Xi, and said with a smile: "Hurry up, just count the people from your Hou Mansion, you are the latest." ”
When Li Fengjin heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Who else is there today?" ”
didn't even have a title, Chunyang smiled lightly: "The girl went in, and she knew!" ”
Lin Xi stepped forward, winked at Chunyang naughtily, and said, "Sister Chunyang is good!" ”
Chunyang smiled, hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and looked at it: "Look at the face, it's all good." Come in, the Queen Mother and her old man have read it several times in the morning. ”
Lin Xi smiled: "No wonder I was in the car, and I sneezed a few times in a row, and I knew that someone was thinking about me." ”
"Lynsey! What nonsense, don't hurry up and get in, so you don't have to let your aunt wait. Li Fengjin saw that Chunyang only spoke to Lin Xi, and his heart was a little uncomfortable.
Lin Xi was not annoyed, and smiled faintly: "Aunt first, please!" ”
Chunyang's watery gaze swirled around the two of them, and the smile on his face was even bigger.
