Xue Jin was talking with her father and aunt in the house, and her personal girl outside took the opportunity to sneak out and go to the room quietly.

1510 learn to Mrs. Xue, Mrs. Xue listened, snorted coldly in her nose, "I want to see how the master opens this mouth with me, and allocates the family property to the concubines and concubines, the master is not dead, and the slut will fight the idea of the family property." ”

Mrs. Xue was angry for a moment, and said to the maid: "You keep an eye on it, if there is anything going on, come back to me immediately." ”

The maid saw that there was no one in the courtyard and quietly left.

The next day, Xue Yanling came back from the next court, and went directly to the upper room, Mrs. Xue Wu heard the sonorous boots outside the door, and called the maid: "Go and see if the master is back"

The little maid walked to the door, and the old man was walking into the house, shouting inside, "The master is back"

Mrs. Xue went to the ground in a hurry, with a decent smile on her face, "The master came back early today?" ”

I was busy calling the maid to wait for the old man's wide clothes, and ordered to fetch water, and served the old man to wash his face, and there was still a while before dinner, and the couple sat down to talk, and the little maid was fanning on the side.

After asking a few words about family matters, General Xue got to the point, and he also felt a little difficult to speak, so he coughed dryly, "What I mentioned to my wife, has my wife thought about it?" ”

Mrs. Xue asked knowingly, "What's the matter?" Lord"

Xue Yanling saw that she was pretending to be confused, her thick eyebrows furrowed, her beard spread out for a moment, and she smiled and said, "Is it that Wu'er recorded in your name?" ”

Mrs. Xue raised her arm and gently stroked her sideburns with her fingertips, "What should I do, the lord took it seriously and said, it turned out to be Wu'er's matter of being a son-in-law, if the lord asks me what I think, this matter must not be, the lord is not a concubine of Wu'er, he promised Wu'er, so if other concubines should also do the same, if you only remember Wu'er alone, the same concubine, two treatments, how can you convince people, then again, I didn't give birth to a son for the master, since ancient times, there is no superiority and humility, I am afraid of causing trouble Xiao Wall, and the house is restless, The lord doesn't want that either! ”

Xue Yanling didn't expect that as soon as he mentioned the conversation, his wife would say such a big thing, and he was so reasonable that he had nothing to say, and he was unhappy, "If you can be tolerant and generous, what kind of trouble will there be, it is clear that you are calculating, mean to the concubine mother and son." ”

As soon as Mrs. Xue heard her husband speak to the concubine, she was so angry that she grabbed the placket of her clothes under the table and sneered twice, "The concubine is too tolerant and generous, so she is used to being so arrogant, do I care?" If I don't care, I will record all your litter of sons and daughters in my name, the whole family is a concubine, and I am not afraid of people's jokes when I say it, the old man is an official in the court, and he can say such things, if you want to remember the name, you can find the Chinese military minister of the court, evaluate the reason, if they all say that I am not virtuous, the old man will leave me. ”

Xue Yanling's matter was not done, and she was scolded by her without a nose and face, and she was a little annoyed and angry, "If it weren't for Yong'er's face, do you think I wouldn't dare to divorce you?" ”

Mrs. Xue's face turned pale with anger, and she pursed her mouth tightly, so that she didn't say anything more ugly.

Xue Yanling stood up, flicked the curtain and went out of the house, and didn't care about the family property.

As soon as the old man left, he stood aside, and Mrs. Xue's companion Feng Baosheng, who didn't dare to intervene, said: "Madame didn't agree, and the old man was offended, and the relationship between husband and wife was broken." ”

Mrs. Xue said disdainfully: "I'd rather break off the relationship between husband and wife than let her wish, I won't agree, see what he can do?" opened the ancestral hall and put the concubine directly on the status of a son-in-law, but who is the biological mother? It is not possible that the son is a son-in-law and the biological mother is a concubine. ”

Feng Baosheng's family said: "The words are true, that is, the lady and the master have made trouble this time, and the master will not enter this house in the future." ”

"It's best not to come, the weasel enters the house, and it's not good to come." Mrs. Xue doesn't care, she has a son, and if she makes trouble with her master, he will talk about anger anyway, and he doesn't dare to really take a break from himself.

"It's all the little hoof." Mrs. Xue gritted her teeth and secretly hated the concubine.

"The eldest girl is very careful, and she is naughty with her wife, and when she gets married, she goes home to stir up trouble."

Mrs. Xue said fiercely: "I'll be patient for a while, I will make her suffer sooner or later with this little hoof, if it weren't for Yong'er and his father to be affected, I would have made a fuss a long time ago, and I put up with him for a long time, thinking that I was really afraid that they wouldn't succeed." ”

Feng Baosheng's family was worried that the old man was in a hurry, and he couldn't stand the fire of the concubine's mother and daughter, so he really gave all the money to the concubine's mother and son, and it was necessary for him to remind his wife to make plans in advance, "What should Mrs. prepare?" You can't let the old man come and divide all the property to the aunt, mother and son. ”

Mrs. Xue sneered twice, "The family wealth, the title deed, and the house deed are all in my hands, I can give it when I say it, if I say I don't give it, unless he kills me with a knife, he can't take it away if he kills me." "All the money in and out of the Xue Mansion is in the hands of Mrs. Xue, she is soft and deceitful on the surface, but she firmly grasps the power of the family in her hands, Xue Yanling is a martial artist, and she is lazy to spend her energy on family affairs, so she will be handed over to Mrs. to take care of, and rarely ask.

Wang Baosheng's family said worriedly: "If the master is angry, the master's temper will do everything, then the slut mother and daughter instigated, in case the wife is divorced, how can it be good, at that time, the eldest young master has no one to shelter, and the Xue Mansion is at the mercy of the slut mother and daughter." ”

Mrs. Xue looked out of the window, and the maid stood at the door of the main room, signaling Wang Baosheng's family to close the inner door, and whispered to Wang Baosheng's family: "His handle is in my hand, I'm in a hurry, he won't let me get better, I won't let him get better, I don't think about him seriously for Yong'er's sake, if you take him seriously, see if he is afraid of it." ”

"Does the old man know this?" Wang Baosheng's family was obviously very surprised, and Mrs. even hid it from her for such a big event, which shows that Mrs. is not a weak and bullying master who has no success in her heart.

Mrs. Xue said coldly, "He doesn't know what to do, so he thinks I'm a bully over the years." ”

Anwangfu

"Master's painting of "Smoke and Rain in the Cold River" is vividly drawn." Concubine Han's personal maid Hongjin Road.

"The moon-white silk cloth is so thin, this landscape is the same as the real one, and the master can't find a few painters all over the capital." The other girl flattered.

At this time, the bead curtain shook wildly, and a girl walked in recklessly, "Master, I have inquired"

Concubine Han glanced at her, the maid stuck out her tongue, lowered her eyebrows and pleasing her eyes, "Back to the master, I inquired about it, Concubine Xue prepared a painting with two poems, Mrs. Shen is embroidery, Mrs. Xiao didn't hear any movement, Mrs. Xiao Han seems to be a thing." ”

Han Lan only said that this girl was stupid and couldn't support the wall, and she inquired about it, but the most important person didn't say it, and she didn't have any brains, so she said dissatisfiedly: "What did the princess prepare there?" Didn't you find out about this? ”

"I didn't hear anything in the princess's house."

Concubine Han took advantage of the fact that Concubine Zheng did not enter the palace, and during the period when she was in charge of the palace, she gathered a group of subordinates, and she was relatively well-informed.

The maid saw the silk painting on the table, the moonlight silk was as thin as smoke, hazy rain and mist, the artistic conception was very beautiful, and she praised: "The master's paintings are expressive, and they are worthy of the name of the master's first talented woman in the capital. ”

Han Lan shook her head, as if she was still not satisfied, and said, "With this painting alone, it can only make people praise a few words, nothing unusual, if I embroider such an effect, it can really be amazing." ”

A few girls admire the master in their hearts, and the reputation of the first talented woman in the capital is not a waste of fame, the master is a real talented woman, without half a cent of water, such a woman, is the prince not a point?

Han Lan thought to herself, the Empress Dowager valued her, and she should also show some skills, not to disappoint the Empress Dowager, and let the prince know her true skills, which are different from other vulgar powders, unlike the princess's straw bags and embroidered pillows, and she can't even get a decent needle and thread.

"It takes some effort to embroider, anyway, the prince will not arrive until next month's birthday, prepare in advance, and work slowly." Han Lan estimated that the prince's birthday next month, a month's effort, more than enough, and thought, he needed to show a lot of ability, Fang Zhen could live in the palace and do women, and other women must have worked hard to please the prince.

Mrs. Xiao's small yard

"I heard that the palace and other side concubines and wives have begun to prepare, what will Mrs. use as a birthday gift?" Mrs. Xiao's maid detective heard that several side concubines and ladies had begun to prepare, and their master didn't even mention it, so she felt a little anxious.

Mrs. Xiao sat on the swing frame made of flowers and rattan in the courtyard, swinging gently, and the thin and soft sound floated over with the swing that fell together, "Concubine Han and Xu Meiren in the palace are both known as the first talented women in the capital. ”

The maid said, "What is the lady going to use to present the prince as a birthday gift?" ”

Mrs. Xiao embroidered her shoes on the ground, the swing stopped, and her jade fingers poked out of her sleeves, and she stretched out a bright blue silk silk and tied a jade ornament under her slender neck.

The maid had been following her, so she understood, and said, "Madame wants to send this to the prince, this is Madame's talisman, Madame has carried it with her for many years, and she is never willing to leave this treasure." ”

Mrs. Xiao held it in the palm of her hand, "As long as I can protect him for the safety of his life, what else can I be reluctant to." ”

The maid looked at her, and stopped talking.

Shen Wanzhen crouched on the bookcase, sketching with her hands, and Xiuju looked at the master beside her, like a man and a woman, snuggling together, like a pair of lovers, looking very much like the prince and the princess from the outside.

Shen Wanzhen knows a little about painting, and uses a sketch technique, wanting to show two intimate lovers, like two vines, entangled together, inseparable from each other, her painting skills are shallow, but sketching is better, she is good at grasping the charm of the characters, and can basically express what she wants to present.

After eating, she began to sit and draw, drew two, felt not very satisfied, and threw the paper on the bookcase.

Qiao Shan walked quickly to the main house from the cloister, since the summer, it has rained a few times in a row, the bluestone bricks in the yard are full of water, the eaves are ticking, and several princesses in the house of the second and third class maids stretched out their hands under the eaves to catch water and play, saw her coming, and said with a smile: "Sister Qiao Shan, come quickly!" ”

Qiao Shan smiled: "You guys play!" I have important things to do. ”

I entered the bright room, looked at what Shen Wanzhen was painting on the desk, walked over, stretched my head and looked, the master had a few simple lines, outlining the demeanor and actions of the characters, and I actually felt that it was a pair of men and women who were lingering and sympathetic, Qiao Shan had already passed through the personnel, blushed all of a sudden, and whispered: "How did the master draw this, beware of letting people see it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly found that the pair of men and women looked like the prince and the princess, and grinned, "The slave is dull, the master is going to give the prince a painting?" ”

Shen Wanzhen finished painting this and looked at it, but she was not very satisfied.

The little maid outside patronized and played in the water in the corridor of the West Wing, and didn't see Zhao Shijiao enter the courtyard.

Shen Wanzhen was pondering with the piece of paper, and there was a man's footsteps at the door, and when Zhao Shijiao lifted the bamboo curtain, Shen Wanzhen hurriedly hid in his sleeve.

Zhao Shijiao saw her action and smiled: "What are you hiding?" Carrying me? ”

Shen Wanzhen squirmed, "When the time comes, the prince will know the truth." ”

changed the topic and said: "Lord Wang, I said that Ming'er took the concubine to Xishan to play, didn't you forget?" ”

"My princess's order, this king dares not to remember."

At this time, the little girl who was laughing under the eaves of the porch outside, one of them had sharp eyes, and saw the concubine and the lady enter the main courtyard, Concubine Han and Concubine Xue walked in front, Concubine Han whispered: "Sister Xue heard it really, the prince wants to take the princess to Xishan for a spring outing?" ”

Xue Jin lowered her voice for fear that the little maid in the corridor would hear it, "My sister heard it with her own ears and could have a fake, the prince was eccentric, and only took the princess out of the house, and I waited for the town to stay in the palace, like a bird in a cage." ”

The little maid hurriedly told the other maids, and a few maids hurriedly squatted down and saluted, "The slave maid has seen the side concubines and ladies." ”

"The princess is in the house?" Concubine Han's voice was neither high nor low, just as it could be heard in the house, Shen Wanzhen looked out of the half-branched window, and said in her heart, as soon as the prince came back, he followed like a fly, and it really didn't stop for a moment.

The little maid shouted to the upper room: "Go back to the prince and princess, and the side concubines and ladies have come to the prince and princess." ”

In the morning and dusk, Shen Wanzhen exempted the evening invitation, and the prince generally had nothing to do, and he would go back to the palace in the evening, tired of these women dangling in front of the prince.

Shen Wanzhen looked back at Zhao Shijiao and whispered: "Did you hear that the wind announced that you should follow you when you go out for a spring outing?" ”

Zhao Shijiao smiled, "The ears are really long, sweeping the king's prosperity." ”

As soon as she spoke, she said a few times, "The concubine has seen the prince and the princess." ”

Shen Wanzhen has already sat with Zhao Shijiao, "free of courtesy"

Xue Jin covered his mouth and smiled contrivedly: "The concubines and others have a reluctant invitation, I heard that the prince and the princess are going out for a spring outing, can you bring a few concubines?" ”

Concubine Han's smile was standard, no more and no less than a point, "The concubines won't disturb the prince and the princess, right?" ”

Xiao Han hurriedly agreed, "The concubine and other knowledge, even if you follow it, it will not hinder the prince and the princess, and you will not sweep the prince and the princess Yaxing." ”

Whatever she said, this group of women said, if Shen Wanzhen said that she didn't bring this group of women, she said that she was stingy, so she looked at Zhao Shijiao with a smile and said: "My sisters want to go out to play, why don't you go together, there are many people, the prince said it's good?" ”

Zhao Shijiao is generous, seeing Shen Wanzhen's proposal, he nodded with a smile, "Go back and prepare, Ming'er ordered someone to set up the car early, and go out while the weather is cool in the morning." ”
