Episode 071: Try to cooperate with your acting
It is said that this year's autumn harvest is coming to an end, and the rest of the time, it is Old Man Li who leads everyone to cook rice in the backyard every day.
The empty ears of rice and weeds left in the fields behind were picked up and put in the stables, and mixed with the husks of the rice that were later taken off to make horse feed. Eventually, the useless weeds were burned out by fire, and the ashes of the plants and trees were covered in the field, which was considered to be fertilized for the soil.
The busiest days of the Marquis of Jiansheng's Mansion had passed, and Shui Sheng began to do the things that Feng Ran explained to him, and seized the opportunity to take Rongwang and others to go around the county.
In fact, at this time, it is reasonable to ask a helper to come forward to inquire about the details of the county. They often wander in the city of Jinxian County, and they know best which piece is the inside story. But he was deceived too badly by Sun Xiang and Feng Xiucai before, and Shui Sheng didn't dare to trust outsiders easily, so he would rather bother to go out twice by himself.
Feng Ran doesn't need to worry about the matter of the rice, Old Man Li is very safe in doing things, and he helps her fiddle with it very uprightly. The accounts spread out on the surface were almost folded together, and she finally freed up her energy and shifted her focus outside the Hou Mansion.
Feng Ran took Yun'er to the county every once in a while to help Yun'er buy the odds of marriage. It is true that there is no shortage of things to buy, and the things that should be inquired about are also not left behind. However, Yun'er was always depressed, and always felt that Feng Ran was driving her out of the house in disguise.
On this day, the master and servant walked around the county for several hours, carrying half a cart of goods back to the mansion. The carriage squeaked and rolled over the wheels, and in the arched compartment, Feng Ran fiddled with the red happy words in his hand.
It seems that the details of the marriage between the little cannon fodder and Sui Yu are not described much in the original text, and Feng Ran is not impressed at all. When she prepared these things for Yun'er, she was very excited and did her best.
In the final analysis, Feng Ran herself has not gone through the step of getting married, and once she has passed, she has become the lady of Sui Yu.
"Yun'er, did you have an awkward fight with your brother Jin again? When you go out today, your little face has been drooping. Feng Ran stuffed the word Xi into her hand, "Take a look, how beautiful it is?" ”
Yun'er threw the word Xi'er aside, and asked angrily: "Is it that the little one has become a parent, so he has to go to the house to take over the rice shop that has no shadow?" ”
Feng Ran nodded slightly, she knew that this little girl was thinking about it. However, she had already made a decision in her heart, this matter had to be done by Yun'er and Jin Sheng, and there was no more suitable person than the two of them.
"Don't marry the little one!" Yun'er cried and said negatively, "I'm not happy, I just want to serve by Madame's side, and Madame should send others to do those things that use your brains!" ”
"I can't trust anyone else." Feng Ran lazily leaned back on the arch wall, "You will make a mistake." ”
"The most difficult days have been survived, but now my wife is going to leave the smallest, and I feel uncomfortable." Yun'er wiped her tears, "The small chest has no big ambitions, and there are not so many ambitions or anything." ”
"Think of it as if you were helping me." Feng Ran took her hand and shook it, "It's not that you can't see each other when you leave the mansion, not to mention that it's arranged for the time being." When we have a firm foothold in Jinxian, you can travel to and from the Hou Mansion generously. ”
"What about Jin Sheng? He has been waiting by Hou Ye's side, if he leaves the Hou Mansion, can Hou Ye be willing? ”
"Of course not." Feng Ran sighed deeply, sat up straight, and said, "You are the people who went out of the Marquis of Jiansheng's mansion, and your identity will be exposed sooner or later." It's just that we sent you out in the early stage, and we can eat a little more in Jinxian. Otherwise, when it comes to dealing with the Marquis of Jiansheng's mansion, everyone has to worry about three points. ”
Yun'er thought for a while, and said with a wry smile: "It sounds small and quite important~"
"That's nature!" Feng Ran's eyes turned pale, "When the time comes, signing, drawing, and signing contracts will have to sign your or Jin Sheng's real name." If the two of you elope with the money, I have nothing to do with Master Hou. ”
"Take the money and elope?" Yun'er knew that Feng Ran was making fun of her, so Fang said, "Madam is a little pointer, and I will point to this to make a fortune." ”
"Yes~ I have to look at Yun'er's face in the future. If you're in a bad mood and don't want to pay money to the Hou Mansion, I can only cry and wipe my tears. ”
Yun'er finally burst into tears and smiled, she understood that the lady in front of her had given her the greatest trust. This trust is the friendship that has been accumulated day after day in the half a year that they have endured.
Feng Ran's master and servant had not yet returned to the mansion, and when they were far away, they saw a two-person official sedan chair parked in front of the main entrance. Two sturdy sedan chairmen stood on one side of the gate in a regular manner, and two docile old horses were tied to the white marble horse stake in front of the door.
They were supposed to bypass the main entrance of the street and enter the house through the West Point Gate to stop the carriage. But Feng Ran was anxious when she saw this, worried about some unexpected situation in the house, and before the carriage could pass by, she had already asked the coachman to stop.
"Madam, slow down, don't be in such a hurry!"
Feng ran towards the Hou Mansion like a wind, and Yun'er behind her couldn't keep up with her pace.
Who's coming? Feng Ran thought uneasily, it didn't seem to be Ling Che and Ling Tian'er. Is there something coming from the capital? Or did officials in Jinxian County come to find fault?
What was Sui Yu doing at that time? Is it secure in a wheelchair? Who is serving around him? A whole bunch of questions lingered.
Feng Ran wore a half-worn yellow plain silk wide-sleeved gown today, wore a hairpin sandalwood on his head, and a small pearl tassel fell from the skirt.
Because he ran a little fast, his movements were too big, and his body was clanging. When she saw Sui Yu, the step was already crooked, and the forbidden step had already moved out of position.
Sui Yu sat quietly in a wheelchair, and Guo Lin was waiting for him behind him. In the middle hall of Baxiazhou, Sui Yu was sitting on one side, and a middle-aged man with a big belly was sitting on the other.
This person is none other than Miao Jianqi, the magistrate of Jinxian County.
He didn't want to come to the Marquis of Jiansheng Mansion at all, he had long heard that Sui Yu had a stinky temper, and in the past year, he had been dealing with this Marquis in secret, and Miao Zhiqi had a headache when he thought about it.
But he had to come over to visit, because someone in the capital forced him to observe the state of Sui Yu with his own eyes. Miao Zhiqi can't afford to offend those big Buddhas in the capital, what they want him to do, he has to do.
Miao Zhiqi brought his most trusted master with him, and when he came, he was ready to be turned away by Sui Yu. This Hou Ye has been in Jinxian for nearly a year, but he, the local parent official, has never visited him once, and it is normal for Sui Yu to give him any face.
No matter how poor you are, isn't it still the Marquis of Jiansheng? Miao Jian thought so in his heart, unexpectedly, he only waited outside the gate for a long time, and their group came in quite smoothly.
From Miao Jianqi's gaze to the Hou Mansion, what it was like when he majored in this Hou Mansion at the beginning, and now when he comes in and looks at it, it is still the same, almost nothing has changed. The Hou Mansion looked deserted and almost unpopular, only the vegetation that suddenly appeared in front of Baxiazhou made him very impressed.
I don't know where the people dug up the big tree, but even in autumn, it looks like it's growing well.
Miao Blade Qi saw Sui Yu for the first time in the true sense, and the last time was on the day he first came to Jinxian, Miao Blade Qi glanced at it from a distance in the dark. Since then, all the news about Sui Yu has come from the mouth of the spies.
His first impression of Sui Yu was that such a handsome man could lead troops to fight? Sui Yu didn't look like a military general, he looked very thin and weak, and his face was extremely pale.
As everyone knows, it was Sui Yulin who smeared a handful of phoenix-dyed gouache before coming out to meet the guests. Where would he use a woman's things, he just casually poured it in his hand and rubbed it on his face.
At first, Miao Daoqi didn't dare to sit, and after respectfully saluting Sui Yu, he stood on his side. Sui Yu's second impression of him was that this person should be extremely difficult to get along with, and he could feel that chilling aura when he was so far away.
It was Sui Yu who opened his mouth coldly and asked him to sit down and speak. But before Miao Zhiqi's ass could sit hot, the Marquis of Jiansheng ran in in a hurry.
Sui Yu raised his phoenix eyes and said, "What's the alarm?" The voice was slightly low, as if it had been deliberate.
Feng Ran straightened his appearance and stepped forward. Over there, Miao Daoqi had already stood up and said humbly: "Miao Jianqi, the magistrate of Xiaguanjin County, has seen Mrs. Hou. ”
Feng Ran shook his head, blessed with his hands in front of him, and said, "Lord Miao is polite." ”
After that, ignoring Miao Jianqi's eyes, he came straight to Sui Yu's side, leaned over and said softly, "Why did Master Hou come out?" The wind chill is better. ”
Sui Yu paused, a little unsure of what to say. Feng Ran is going to act again? He couldn't read her routine.
"Hou Ye was lying down, and he knew that it was the magistrate who came to the door, so Hou Ye stood up." Guo Lin responded to the road on the side, making an embarrassed look.
"My lord, I'm a straight person and don't like to beat around the bush." Feng Ran turned around and smiled dignifiedly, "My family's marquis hangs half his life with medicinal soup, you can tell me anything." This Hou Mansion is watched by me for the Hou Ye. ”
"You go down." Sui Yu said sharply, "How can you speak here." ”
"I don't." Feng Ran refused to back down, "What is Master Hou so strong?" ”
"You ......"
Sui Yu only said this one word, and began to cough incessantly. Feng Ran took advantage of the situation to pounce in front of Sui Yu, first patted his back, and then quickly pulled out a handkerchief to cover Feng Ran's lips.
I saw that Sui Yu's originally miserable white face was held for breath, and he couldn't relieve himself, and he kept coughing, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.
Miao Zhiqi was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything, he didn't say a few words when he entered this room, for fear that Sui Yu would suddenly die in front of him without being angry. Then his sin will be great. What if he is relied on by Mrs. Hou, and then says that he is angry with Hou Ye because he came to the door?
Miao Jian Qi was annoyed, what are you doing? Look at the crippled and declining sick seedlings falling in front of you? He glanced at the master behind him painfully, and really wanted to lift his leg and leave.
Sui Yu's coughing finally stopped, and Miao Blade Qi could be regarded as gasping. But in the next moment, the lady began to weep and ripple.
She trembled and opened the white silk handkerchief, and the handkerchief was suddenly red, this is the blood that Sui Yu coughed up?
"Crying for what? I'm not dead yet! Sui Yu said hoarsely.
"Push the Hou Ye back." Feng Ran instructed Guo Lin, but he was a little hesitant.
Feng Ran lost his temper, slapped the Eight Immortals table in the center with one hand, and raised his voice and said, "Push back!" ”
Guo Lin didn't dare to be disobedient anymore, no matter how Sui Yu in a wheelchair "resisted", he resolutely sent Hou Ye back to the Dongzheng room.
Feng Ran turned around and was sitting on the Taishi chair at the top, looked at Miao Zhiqi who was stunned, and said with a smile: "Let Master Miao see the joke." Hou Ye is weak, and he will lose one day if he lives for a day. What is the situation of the Hou Mansion, you know it very well in your heart. When you come here today, you can tell me what you have to do. ”
