Since coming to the Pillar Country Marquis's Mansion, Long Xiangye thought that he was an old feudal monarch and could truly enjoy the blessings of his son.

As a result, she didn't expect that every day before dawn, her eldest girl called her up, chanting sutras, chanting Buddha, and waiting for a pillar of incense in front of the Buddha to burn out, before she could go to eat breakfast, saying that the old feudal lords of the family are like this, chanting in the early morning is to pray for the family members, bless the family with good health, longevity, family prosperity, and a hundred years.

After eating breakfast, she wanted to be the same as when she was in the Xiao family's old mansion before, and it was impossible to find a few people to come over and fight cards. Ou Yangniang found a female teacher for her who taught her the rules of the family, and came to teach her every day. For example, the four seasons and eight festivals, the Spring and Autumn Festival, the New Year's Day, and the official eunuch system of nine grades and thirty levels implemented by Daqi, as well as the corresponding female family grades, the service regulations of various grades, daily use, and respect and humility of the upper and lower levels must be clearly explained to Long Xiangye one by one.

After talking about a rule, Long Xiangye has to recite it all, and even write his feelings after reading, until the female teacher is satisfied.

Long Xiangye was once very impatient, claiming that he was Hou Ye's mother-in-law, even if he didn't understand these things at all, Hou Ye would not deny his mother-in-law.

However, after she said this, Ou Yangniang only smiled and said to her that if the old lady didn't want to learn these rules and systems, then for the sake of the future of the Hou Ye and the net worth of everyone in the entire Hou Mansion, she could only send Long Xiangye to the family temple to practice and pray for the blessing of the Xiao family. Because only by doing this, Long Xiangye doesn't have to go out to socialize with the title of the old lady of the Hou Mansion, and he won't be because he doesn't understand the rules. caused a fatal disaster for the Hou Mansion.

Long Xiangye was blocked so that she couldn't speak, besides, she had the best face, and she was most afraid that others would say that she didn't understand the rules, so she was heartbroken, and she also gritted her teeth, took out the rote memorization skills in her previous life, and learned very attentively.

When Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang came to say goodbye, Long Xiangye had just finished chanting in front of the Buddha and was about to go to breakfast.

Du Hengshuang personally served Long Xiangye to eat breakfast.

The female teacher saw it from the side. He coughed softly.

Long Xiangye had no choice but to say to Du Hengshuang: "You don't need to serve." I have maids and wives here, and they will serve me. You sit down with the boss and talk. ”

Du Hengshuang pursed her lips and smiled, sat down with Xiao Shi and Daheng, and ate breakfast with Long Xiangye.

Longxiang leaves are eaten aside. While asking questions. The female teacher coughed again.

Long Xiangye knew that Lu Dao was reminding her to "eat without saying a word, sleeping without a word". His face was red, so he had to eat hard.

After eating breakfast, I drank the food that was brewed. Long Xiangye asked, "How are you preparing for today's feast?" ”

Du Hengshuang hurriedly said: "Thank you mother-in-law for remembering." All are ready, just waiting for the feast to begin. ”

The unitary hour is five o'clock in the afternoon, which is the time when most people eat dinner.

Generally, the important feasts of the family are held at the unitary time, and then eat, drink and entertain until nightfall. The people who can participate in this kind of feast are, of course, rich or noble, and people who can still walk in the city after the curfew.

"Are kabuki and the jugglers ready?" Long Xiangye has learned a lot of the daily life of the family with the female teacher these days, so she has to show off.

Du Hengshuang smiled and said, "It's all ready." Hou Ye drank with the male guests in the outer courtyard, and invited the most famous Maiko Cheng Fo'er in the workshop, and she rehearsed a new music and dance to fly into the sky, which is very extraordinary. After she finished dancing in the outer courtyard, she would come to the inner courtyard to sing and dance to the female dependents, and her mother-in-law would be able to feast her eyes at that time. There are also a few orchids from the Western Regions, who are said to be good at dancing and whirling, and will also entertain the guests when the time comes. ”

Long Xiangye held back in the Hou Mansion for a month, studying hard every day as if he was going to school, and he was already miserable, and he hurriedly said: "Then you have to take a good look." Saying that, Long Xiangye looked at Du Hengshuang again and smiled, "Shuang'er, I remember that your Hu Xuan is also a must, do you want to dance a song for everyone when the time comes?" ”

In Chang'an of Daqi, from the concubines in the palace to the common people of Limin, they all love singing and dancing, especially the Huxuan dance from the Western Regions. If the orchid from the Western Regions can dance a song of Hu Xuan, she will immediately move Chang'an and become famous.

In the banquet of the palace and the family, there are also many palace concubines and family ladies who go down in person, dancing with the orchids, competing with each other.

Du Hengshuang smiled, and was about to speak, Xiao Shiji was already busy saying: "Mother, Shuang'er is very tired for a while, it's good to just hold up and down in this Hou Mansion, and let her dance Hu Xuan, isn't this killing her?" ”

Long Xiangye actually just mentioned it, and he was ashamed of Du Hengshuang, but he didn't expect Xiao Shiji to protect his shortcomings. Long Xiangye was not happy in his heart, his face was cold, and he drooped his eyelids and said, "Oh, forget it." I'm just saying it, and you're going to button your mother's hat tightly. Your mother is in your heart, so unbearable? ”

Xiao Shiji hurriedly smiled and said, "Naturally not." I know that Lu Dao Niang is very painful, but my mother has been cultivating herself in the inner courtyard for a while, and she hasn't come out much, so I'm afraid I don't know these things. ”

Hearing Xiao Shiji say this, Long Xiangye couldn't use it anymore, but he was unwilling to bow his head to Du Hengshuang, so he had to sit there and turn the teacup in his hand without speaking.

Xiao Taiji brought his step-room Long Shuzhi over to greet Long Xiangye, smiled and saluted Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang, and asked as if unintentionally, "Brother Ping and Sister An have left?" I also said that I wanted to talk to them, I haven't seen them for a long time, and I miss them. ”

Du Hengshuang hurriedly said: "They're coming soon." We have something to do today, and we got up early, so we came early. As is customary, it will be a while before the time to say goodbye. ”

Xiao Taiji nodded with a smile, and said to Xiao Shiji: "Big brother, today is the big feast, but is there anything you need my brother's help with?" ”

Xiao Shiji said lightly: "Fortunately, everything is arranged." After a pause, he asked, "How are you doing?" ”

Since Xiao Tai and his people in this house followed Xiao Shi and them to the Zhuguo Hou Mansion, they lived in a house separated from the southwest corner of the Hou Mansion. There is a three-entry mansion with two cross-courtyards, and there is also a small back garden, which is separated from the back garden of the Hou Mansion with Taihu Lake stones.

This mansion does not have a separate entrance, which is different from the old mansion of the Xiao family. In and out or through the gate of the Hou Mansion. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the two brothers of the Xiao family still live together, and the second room of the Xiao family is also the master of the Marquis Mansion of Zhuguo.

Of course, Xiao Taiji and Long Shuzhi were not dissatisfied, although they were also a little weak-hearted, but after Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang came back, they didn't blame them much, and after they stayed for a while, the two of them were nothing.

Xiao Tai said: "There is good news, I want to tell my eldest brother and sister-in-law today." ”

"I want to hear about it." Xiao Shihe bowed slightly.

Xiao Taiji pulled Long Shuzhi over. said to Du Hengshuang: "Sister-in-law is from here. I'm going to help guide us Shuzhi. ——We just asked Lang Zhong to diagnose the pulse yesterday, and Shuzhi is happy. ”

Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shihe were stunned for a moment before they smiled and said, "Then congratulations to the second brother and the second brother and sister." ”

Du Hengshuang also said: "I'm busy today. Tomorrow, I will order someone to make up a congratulatory gift for my second brother and sister. In the future, you will also mention the use of your second room. After all, it's going to be imported. It is also a happy event for our Zhu Guohou Mansion. ”

Xiao Shihe put his hands behind his back. looked at Du Hengshuang and greeted his younger brother and sister, and said lightly: "Your sister-in-law is not a stingy person, you have to live a good life in the future." We must not regenerate incidents. ”

Xiao Taiji's heart sank, and he hurriedly smiled: "The eldest brother is right, the younger brother has always felt ashamed, but the eldest brother and sister-in-law didn't say a word, and the younger brother was even more embarrassed. As he spoke, he shook himself on the ground at Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang.

Xiao Shiji stood still, received Xiao Taihe's salute, the expression on his face softened a lot, and he bowed his head and said: "Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great." As long as you make serious changes, we are still a family. As he spoke, he said to Du Hengshuang: "I'm going to prepare to welcome the guests, let's go first." Come back tomorrow and say goodbye. ”

Long Xiangye kept pricking up his ears and listening, and at this time, Fang waved his hand and said, "If you have something to do, go busy, I'll talk to Tai Ge'er and Shuzhi." ”

Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang left first.

Not long after, Xiao Yanran brought Brother Ping and Sister An over to greet Long Xiangye together.

Long Xiangye hugged the two grandchildren and kissed them for a while, and then said to Xiao Yanran: "Yanran, you come in, I have something to ask you." ”

Xiao Yanran asked the maid to look at Brother Ping and Sister An, and followed Long Xiangye into her warm pavilion.

In the outhouse, it happened that Long Xiangye's maid was out on an errand, and the female teacher was preparing the content of today's lecture in the wing, and only Long Shuzhi, Xiao Taiji, Brother Heping, and Sister An were left in the house.

Long Shuzhi smiled and beckoned to Brother Ping and Sister An, called the two of them over, rubbed their heads and said, "Poor one, do you remember that you used to have a mother?" She takes you to your grandmother every day to talk and eat with her. ”

Brother Ping and Sister An were a little puzzled.

"Are you talking about mother?" Sister An doesn't remember Chen Yuejiao very much, and she has mixed her mother and mother together in her heart.

Long Shuzhi was a little surprised, and couldn't help but say: "Sister An, your mother worked hard to bring you up, but now you have forgotten her completely, it's really ...... Alas, thinking about it this way, what else is the point of raising children? ”

Brother Ping still vaguely remembers Chen Yuejiao, but his impression of Chen Yuejiao is not as good as others think. Because he remembered earlier than Sister An, and he had a lot of success in his heart, he stepped forward to block in front of Sister An, and said to Long Shuzhi: "Second aunt, that mother is not a good person, she wants to harm my mother, doesn't the second aunt know what to do?" ”

Long Shuzhi was taken aback. I didn't expect Brother Ping to be so smart, I didn't know how to do it for a while, and I couldn't help but look back at Xiao Taihe, Xiao Taiji shook his head slightly, and Long Shuzhi hurriedly changed the topic: "Exactly, the second aunt remembered wrong." Brother Ping still has a good memory, that woman is not a good person, let's not talk about her. With that, he said a perfunctory sentence and left with Xiao Taiji.
