Pass! Pass! Pass! Dear friends, if you have a monthly pass, don't keep it, so what...... You know~

------Off topic------

Qin Zheng was stunned at first when he heard this, but when he saw Xie Fanghua's face was slightly red, and he looked at Aunt Fu with a speechless expression, he suddenly remembered something, and suddenly smiled again, his eyes were so clear that people couldn't bear to look at them directly, reached out to hold Xie Fanghua's hand, tilted his head and asked her, his voice was so gentle that it could drip water, "Dowry?" Wedding dress? Is that so? ”

"It's not just about making clothes, it's about making wedding dresses." Aunt Fu pursed her lips and smiled, "I'll prepare a dowry for Miss!" ”

"What do you do with the fabric? Making clothes? Qin Zheng was in a very good mood and asked with a smile.

Aunt Fu was naturally happy, and smiled, "Second son, aren't Miss and I just talking about happy things?" You're back just in time, come and help Miss choose clothes. ”

Is she happy? Xie Fanghua couldn't help touching her face and glanced at Aunt Fu again.

Qin Zheng suddenly smiled so much that his eyes were crooked, the corners of his mouth curled, as if he was extremely happy, he walked to Xie Fanghua's side briskly, and smiled softly at her, "What are you and Aunt Fu talking about?" ”

What she said was not coming, but coming back, she didn't notice the difference between the two words, but Qin Zheng heard it clearly.

Xie Fanghua was too late to accept those things, so she could only put her hand away, raised her head and glanced at him, seeing that he was in a relaxed posture, with a smile on his face, and walked in handsomely, she was in a good mood, she suddenly remembered the purpose of his entry into the palace today, and immediately threw away her embarrassed thoughts, and asked him, "Just came back from the palace?" ”

"Huh? What do you need from me? Qin Zheng had already opened the curtain and walked in with a smile.

Xie Fanghua wanted to cover Aunt Fu's mouth, but it was too late.

"Hey, the second son of Zheng is here, just in time!" Aunt Fu smiled and shouted outside, "Second son, come in, it just so happens that you are needed here." ”

Xie Fanghua woke up, and his intuition didn't want Qin Zheng to see the fabric on the table, so he immediately waved his hand to put it away.

The voices of the two were very crisp, and they clearly penetrated into the living room.

At this time, the waiter painting and waiter Mo outside suddenly saluted respectfully, "Second son Zheng!" ”

"Miss?" Aunt Fu spoke for a long time, but she didn't see Xie Fanghua answering, and when she saw her in a daze, she couldn't help but look up at her.

Is Aunt Fu too anxious? Or did she always think that marriage was far away? Even if Princess Ying and Qin Zheng both said that they wanted to get married in advance, she didn't have much personal feelings, after all, it wasn't something that could be done overnight. But now she is really confused.

Xie Fanghua looked at the dozen or so kinds of red fabrics mixed in dozens of fabrics, listening to Aunt Fu's words, she was a little dizzy all of a sudden, she didn't understand, why did she suddenly seem to be the one who was going to marry from her daughter's family?

"Earlier, the old slave was worried that you wouldn't be able to embroider, but the old marquis said that you had learned embroidery skills with the princess in Prince Ying's mansion, and the old slave was relieved." Aunt Fu said with a smile, "There are also wedding dress materials here, you can also choose one." The old slave will help you cut it, and you can embroider when you have time. ”

Xie Fanghua shook his hand when he heard this.

Aunt Fu saw that she had chosen seriously, and she was happy in her heart, and said in a rambling manner, "These dowries and old slaves can help you make them, but you have to ......embroider the wedding dress yourself."

She sighed.

Aunt Fu is old, and there are not many things that make her happy, and besides, when she came to her today, it must have been approved by her grandfather and brother.

Xie Fanghua looked at her, if she didn't choose, she wouldn't give up, she could only calm down and look at all kinds of fabrics carefully.

"Your size old slave knows, even if you don't get married this year, next year's wedding, you won't change too much, I follow your current appearance, pressed the folded edge, set aside two more inches to collect the inside, this year can get married, just this year, this year can not be married, next year will fold in the side to put out, naturally can wear. Can't you believe in the craftsmanship of the old slave? Aunt Fu looked at Xie Fanghua persistently, and she must choose, "These are all high-quality materials that will not go out of style, you must order cloth in advance, Miss choose quickly, you are done, I will arrange for the embroidery girl in the house to buy it back, and cut it quickly, I have spare time, so I will sew it with the embroidery girl." I have a lot of things to prepare besides clothes......"

Xie Fanghua was speechless, "Aunt Fu, I am also the time to grow my body, even if I do it now, I don't know what year and month I will get married when the time comes, and I will be too young to wear it." There's no rush to this. ”

"This is the clothing in the cloud workshop, you specify that you don't have time to choose, so the old slave will use this method to get it for you and make new clothes for you." Aunt Fu said happily, "The old slave is old, and his eyes are not good, so it's still the fabric you choose!" ”

Xie Fanghua saw that Aunt Fu was serious, since the servant sent someone to confirm it, there was no doubt about it. She thought about it for a while, but she didn't come up with why Zuo Xiangfu was in a hurry to marry her daughter. She rubbed her eyebrows, "Since you are going to prepare a dowry, what are you doing with these strips of cloth?" ”

"The old slave is also strange, but people say it clearly, and no one can believe it. In particular, the person who asked for the calculation was Master Puyun of the Dharma Buddha Temple, and after hearing this, I found the waiter, and the waiter sent someone to confirm it. Aunt Fu said.

Xie Fanghua suddenly realized that Aunt Fu had listened to the words from the outside and had decided to prepare for her to collect the dowry. She was a little strange, "Where did the purchaser hear the rumor?" Zuo Xiang and Qin Hao went to Linfen Town, if the Linfen Bridge is to be repaired, the fastest construction period will be two months, and now it is mid-March, how can it be the day of May? ”

"It's not early, how can it be early!" Aunt Fu shook her head, "You know Miss Lu from the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, right?" The queen decreed the marriage, and then the prince of England took the eldest son to the ceremony of adoption not long after, this morning, the old slave listened to a buyer coming back from outside to chat, saying that Mrs. Zuo Xiang was looking for someone to calculate, and it seemed that a good day for May had been chosen. Think about it, the queen gave the marriage, and by May, it would only be half a year. If people haven't prepared a dowry for a long time, isn't this too busy? However, it is said that the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion has been slow and dizzy, so you can think about it, it has been prepared for a long time. ”

Xie Fanghua couldn't cry or laugh for a while, "Aunt Fu, I naturally don't treat you as an outsider, you are my mother's dowry, my mother is gone, for so many years, you have to take care of grandpa, brother, and me, this Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is your home." However, Qin Zheng and I are only married by holy decree, what ceremony has not passed, and even Gengchen has not changed, so it is too early for you to prepare a dowry! ”

"Madame left early, and she didn't have time to prepare anything for Mademoiselle. In addition to you, the female dependents in this mansion are also old slaves who can afford the old marquis, the prince, and the young lady, licking their old faces and not treating themselves as outsiders. If you're busy with chores, you don't have time to prepare your own dowry. The old slave just thought, begging the young lady for a word, let's do it now, and help you prepare in advance. Aunt Fu said in a low voice.

Xie Fanghua was stunned.

Aunt Fu said in a low voice, "The old marquis said to the old slave today that the prince handed over the affairs of the house to the young lady, and told the old slave that the young lady will not wait three years before getting married, and it will definitely be advanced, and I don't know how long it will be in advance." The old slave thought that the young lady's dowry should be prepared. ”

Xie Fanghua looked at her puzzled.

Aunt Fu looked at her a few more times, and when she saw that she was really fine, she stepped forward with a smile and spread out the ball of cloth in her hand, which was originally wrapped in various strips of cloth, about dozens of kinds.

"No, I'm just a little tired." Xie Fanghua sat up and saw that Aunt Fu was holding a ball of cloth in her hand, it seemed that she was looking for her for something, and when she found it, she asked with a smile, "Do you have something to look for me?" ”

Aunt Fu walked into the back room with a smile, and saw Xie Fanghua nestled on the recliner, lazy, with a faint brow, she smiled a little, and asked carefully, "Miss, are you not feeling well?" ”

"Aunt Huifu, here." The two of them moved out of the way.

About two teas later, Aunt Fu came to the front yard, and when she saw the painting and ink, she immediately asked, "Two girls, can the young lady be inside?" ”

Seeing that the young lady had no intention of going back, the waiter and the waiter Mo stayed at the door of the living room.

Seeing that Yan Lan was gone, Xie Fanghua did not leave immediately, but half-lay down on the chaise longue in the living room.

Yan Lan looked at her, and seeing that her eyes were calm, she didn't linger anymore and said goodbye and left.

Xie Fanghua shook his head, his expression unchanged, "I don't know!" ”

Yan Lan still wanted to say something, but seeing that Xie Fanghua's meaning of sending off the guest was obvious, she nodded, but when she walked to the door, she still mustered up the courage to ask in a low voice, "I am two months younger than you, and I call you sister." Sister Fanghua, I want to ask you, do you know my brother's whereabouts? ”

Xie Fanghua waved his hand and sent off the guest, "If there is nothing else, you can go back and take care of Mrs. Hou!" ”

"Thank you!" Yan Lan took it and thanked her sincerely.

After a short time, Xie Fanghua wrote a piece of paper and handed it to Yan Lan, "This is to write about what you can eat every day and the amount of food, and also write about the things that you can't eat." You don't have to follow this, the general direction is not biased, and it will be fine. ”

Yan Lan was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Xie Fanghua to be so happy, she thought that she would always knock on her side again, just like waiting for her to say a lot of words yesterday, and finally Princess Ying and Xie Mohan came before she spitted.

Xie Fanghua picked up the pen and wrote.

The painter and the ink immediately stepped forward, one laying paper and the other grinding ink.

"It's not difficult!" Xie Fanghua stood up and walked to the table.

Yan Lan had just heard what she said, she was not very well and didn't want to see her, but she heard that she might have something to ask for, so she came to see her. She was not easy to speak, but thinking about the ugly face Xie Fanghua looked at yesterday, and it was not interesting to cover it in front of her, since she appreciated her face, she simply said directly, "You instructed me yesterday to let my mother have a good life, and don't make up for it, my father and I think about it, I can't follow the rules, and I want to beg you to give her a prescription for medicinal diet, and we can adjust her diet according to that every day." ”

Xie Fanghua smiled, "I'm not welcome to thank you!" Is there anything else you can do? ”

She said her mother, her father, and her in one sentence, and the gratitude of the three of them. In other words, the Yongkang Hou Mansion accepted this thanks.

Yan Lan nodded, "My mother slept all night yesterday, and told me this morning that she couldn't get out of bed and walk around, so my father looked at him and prepared a gift, and I will thank you." ”

Xie Fanghua asked her to sit down, she didn't have much friendship with Yan Lan, and when she didn't speak, she asked straight to the point, "Is Mrs. Hou in a good state?" ”

Yan Lan saw her coming and stood up.

She didn't stop, the waiter opened the curtain, and she walked in.

Through the bead curtain, Xie Fanghua saw that she had lost the anxiety and anxiety of yesterday, sitting there, although there was still a faint sadness in her eyebrows, but her expression was safe, it seemed that in a short period of time, she had grown a lot, and she was no longer the Yan Lan when she was with Lu Xueying.

Xie Fanghua came to the front yard, this time Yan Lan did not wait at the door of the living room, but waited inside eating the tea brought by the maidservant.

Hearing this, he answered and ran away.

"Then let's meet!" Xie Fanghua thought for a moment, sat up, and instructed as she walked out, "Please ask her to go to the living room." ”

"She seems to want to see you in her voice, thank you in person, I look like I have a request for you, do you want to see or ......" Hearing this, he asked carefully, he has been by Qin Zheng's side for many years, and what he can see the most is people's faces.

"Huh?" Xie Fanghua thought about what else Yan Lan had to ask her?

Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Miss, but the little county lord seems to have something to ask you for." ”

Xie Fanghua knew that the waiter was now the chief housekeeper in the house, and the errand work would naturally be handed over to the person who had just been asked to go by his brother, as long as his brother was in the house, the affairs in the house would naturally be reported to him first, and then he would send someone to her. She said lightly, "Let's go for a trip to serve painting and ink!" Let's just say that I was tired yesterday and unwell today, so I accepted the thank you gift, so I don't have to see it. ”

Xie Fanghua lay down for about half an hour, and when she heard the words outside, she ran in and said, "Miss, the little county lord of the Yongkang Hou Mansion is here, saying that he has prepared a thank you gift, and he is here to thank you." ”

I couldn't help but think that Qin Zheng had been in the palace for a long time, I didn't know what to do, I forgot to ask my brother just now, but I thought that my brother hadn't gotten the letter from the palace yet, if he did, he shouldn't have to say it without her opening his mouth.

Xie Fanghua was tired of reading the account book in the morning, so he closed his eyes and rested at noon.

After the brother and sister had dinner and chatted for a while, Xie Mohan walked out of Begonia Garden.

Xie Mohan nodded.

Xie Fanghua bowed, "When they come to our house, my brother will inform me, and I will also secretly take a look at these two people." ”

"I went to the palace yesterday to pay a visit, and today I should go to Prince Ying's mansion." Xie Mohan said, "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will also come to our house." King Yuqian has been away for many years, the first time he returned to Beijing, he didn't arrive first, his two sons are juniors, always have money to worship, see it, give some gifts, and get some gifts. ”

"Where did Qin Yi and admiration go today?" Xie Fanghua asked.

Xie Mohan nodded, "He is a smart person, so after returning to Beijing, except for the palace banquet, he devoted himself to setting up the mansion, studying in the mansion, and did not go out to walk around." also understands that the emperor is staring at him. ”

"I sent Qingge to help him secretly, and because he came back with his uncle all the way, the emperor was not very relieved that he was sure, after all, we didn't hide the matter of the third son of the Cui family in Qinghe earlier, and we were in a hurry at that time, and the emperor noticed the rumors." Xie Fanghua said lightly, "Don't care about him for now, these days, the emperor is probably testing him to see if he is involved with our mansion, and the attitude of Prince Ying's mansion towards him." ”

"He bought a mansion in Beijing, and now he is cleaning up his new mansion." Xie Mohan said, "The emperor will definitely enable him to enter the court, but how to enable it, whether the military squire can still give it, it's hard to say." It seems that he is still not very worried about him. ”

"Where is Cui Yizhi now?" Xie Fanghua asked again.

Xie Mohan shook his head, "I didn't say it." After a pause, he said, "Although Cui Yizhi has done this trip, it is not too proper." After all, Qin Yu broke away from the team and almost had an accident at Linfen Bridge, if the emperor ruined his earlier words, others would not be able to criticize him. ”

"You just didn't talk about joining the military department?" Xie Fanghua raised her eyebrows.

"At the palace banquet that day, the emperor praised him, saying that he had worked hard all the way and would rest for a few days first." Xie Mo said.

She has always remembered that the emperor said that if the matter of welcoming Qin Yu is done, then she will be exempted from the three examinations and three schools, and she will be a squire in the military department when she enters the court.

"If you haven't crossed the open road, you have also crossed the dark road. Otherwise, the emperor would not have let Yuqian Wangfu marry the daughter of the Lu family. Xie Fanghua knocked on the table, "Although Cui Yizhi didn't pick up Qin Yu, but picked up his uncle, he could be regarded as having completed the task given by the emperor." What is the emperor's arrangement for him now? ”

Xie Mohan suddenly became solemn, "According to this, it is still approved by the emperor." ”

Xie Fanghua smiled, "Maybe it was Qin Yu who won over King Yuqian through the Lu family." ”

Xie Mohan was already smart, and when he heard this, he suddenly became transparent, "You said that King Yuqian has secretly taken refuge in Qin Yu?" ”

Xie Fanghua poured him a cup of tea, "I didn't know how to connect it earlier, but now that my brother said that Qin Yi married a woman from the Lu family, I figured it out." First, Yuqian Wangfu made trouble with the woman that Qin Yi liked, and then found out that it was the Lu family, and put it aside for a year, and then somehow mentioned it again, and then the emperor allowed it, discussed marriage, and married two surnames. After that, Qin Yu went to Mobei and seized his uncle's military power, and then, the emperor enabled Lu Yi. Brother, don't you think, is there any connection between this? ”

Xie Mohan looked at her.

Xie Fanghua smiled, "In the past few years, I didn't see anything, Yuqian Wang An'an kept to himself, abided by his duty, did his best to the fief, and did a good job." It's only been since last year that something has happened, and although it's obscure, some clues can still be found. ”

Xie Mohan nodded, "Lingnan does have a gap to drill in the tug-of-war, you are right." ”

Xie Fanghua nodded, "Over the years, although King Yuqian has gone to Lingnan, he may not be worried that the emperor will not tolerate him, and the emperor may not be at ease with King Yuqian, after all, the emperor is far away." Between this gentleman and a minister, a brother and a brother, there is always some invisible estrangement. If I want to do something, not only to avoid the emperor's eyes and ears, but also to find out some news, Lingnan is a good place. ”

Xie Mohan was stunned, "Is it because Lingnan is the fief of King Yuqian?" ”

"It's true that the No. 6 painting boat was recommended by King Yuqian, but there are a few people in it who are mine." Xie Fanghua said, "Five years ago, my Tianji Pavilion started, and some things were used in Lingnan and set up in Lingnan. ”

"Naturally remember! It is said that she has been appreciated by the emperor and Prince Ying's mansion, and now she has been placed in Beijing, and Prince Ying's birthday should have a performance. Xie Mohan looked at Xie Fanghua and knew that she had a connection with the painting boat, so he couldn't help asking, "What is my sister thinking?" What's wrong? ”

Xie Fanghua narrowed his eyes, "Brother still remember the No. 6 painting boat?" ”

Xie Mo said with a smile, "When I mentioned this matter to my grandfather, my grandfather said that the emperor was afraid that he was going to use the Lu family. It's only been a year, and sure enough, my uncle retired from the Mobei military camp, and someone from the Lu family took over. ”

Xie Fanghua frowned.

"It was last spring, and you were still outside at the time, so you didn't know about it. After the emperor ascended the throne, he did not have a big use of the mother family, and only posthumously sealed his mother concubine Lu Guiren. After so many years, the Lu family has only barely survived by relying on the protection of the emperor's mother. It is said that as early as the year before last, Lingnan made a fuss that Qin Yi had fallen in love with a woman and was bent on marrying her, but King Yuqian knew that it was a member of the Lu family, so he was not very satisfied, so he put it on hold. Later, another year passed, and for some reason, King Yuqian went to the fold and asked the emperor. The emperor immediately agreed. The matter was not difficult, so he married the man into the door. Xie Mohan said.

King Yuqian is a clan, and his heirs want to go to the family tree, she is actually asking redundantly, if the emperor does not agree, even if it is thousands of miles away, Yuqian Wangfu cannot marry.

Xie Fanghua was stunned, "It turned out to be the Lu family?" Or Lu Yi's sister? Did the emperor agree at the beginning? ”

"The descendants of the Lu family are said to be Lu Yi's sisters." Xie Mo said.

Xie Fanghua nodded, "Which family is Qin Yi's wife?" ”

"Qin Yi is twenty-one this year, and he has already married last year, and it is said that his wife was pregnant half a year ago. Admiration is as big as Qin Zheng, he is seventeen this year, and he has not yet married. Qin Yixing is steady, after all, he is the eldest son of King Yuqian, cultivated since childhood, and King Yuqian used to be almost the same, humble and introverted. Admiration is the reason for the second son, and it is said that he is very favored at home, and he is young and young, but his lightness is a child's fun, much worse than Qin Zheng. Xie Mohan said, "The appearance of the two of them follows Prince Yu, and from the perspective of the capital, they are not very outstanding, but in Lingnan, because of the identity of King Yuqian, countless boudoir ladies flock to them. ”

"What does it look like?" Xie Fanghua asked.

Xie Mohan nodded, "It's in Beijing, after entering Beijing at noon yesterday, I went directly to the palace to see the emperor, the queen, and Concubine Lin. ”

Xie Fanghua remembered that the two sons of King Yuqian of Lingnan had entered Beijing yesterday, so he asked Xie Mohan.

Xie Mohan was not very relieved, so he came to Haitang Garden again at noon, and when he saw that Xie Fanghua was fine, he was relieved and accompanied her to eat.

At noon, Xie Fanghua waved his hand and let everyone eat and rest.

These eight people are worthy of being the people that Xie Mohan has cultivated for her since she was a child, and she must have selected a few people to focus on training before she cultivated them earlier, and they should be used for the manpower she is equipped with for marriage in the future. Now she's using it early. Sure enough, each has its own ability, and after half a day's effort, the mountains of ledgers were classified.

After Xie Fanghua and the waiter, Pin Zhu and other eight people went to the study, they plunged into the mountains and seas of account books.
