Chapter 011: Face or life
However, it was said that Shui Sheng and Jin Sheng chose the right time to avoid going out of the Dongzheng room, and the two of them eavesdropped inside against the door panel for a long time, and finally relieved themselves when they heard the roar of their master gradually fade.
Shui Sheng and Jin Sheng glanced at each other meaningfully, and admired the Hou Ye Lady in the room more and more.
Jin Sheng picked up the Sui utensils with one arm, sent the little guy back to the opposite room, and handed it over to two maids to take care of. Sui Qi was already crying out of breath, and muttered intermittently: "Daddy...... To kill...... Mother! β
Yun'er and Rui'er were shocked by these words, but fortunately, Jin Sheng was there to explain the reason in time. He patted the back of Sui's head and coaxed: "Your father and mother are having fun, don't take it seriously." β
Where is Sui Qi willing to believe? Thanks to the two maids echoing each other, the little guy barely quieted down.
Shui Sheng told a few young men who often served by Hou Ye's side every day, and asked them to wait for Hou Ye's dispatch outside the Dongzheng room. After that, he called Jin Sheng, and the two walked out of Baxiazhou and turned straight into the backyard.
Walk through the corridor into the moon cave, and come to the third courtyard of the Hou Mansion. The magnificence of the buildings in the courtyard is second only to the main house of the upper courtyard, but no one is occupying it at the moment, and most of them are idle.
Who taught Sui Yu's parents to die early, he himself has no sisters and brothers, and even his wife and concubine are only Feng Ran. The people of the Marquis of Jiansheng Mansion are not prosperous~
One of the rooms, the hall was very spacious, and it was set up as a temporary chamber in the palace by two permanent attendants. On weekdays, the idle affairs in the house are mostly decided to be dealt with here. Because Sun Xiang entered the mansion, it evolved into a place where he was on duty during the day. It is also inevitably clichΓ©d to install a good name: "Paoze Building".
Jin Sheng and Shui Sheng opened the cotton door curtain and walked in, and Sun Xiang and Guo Lin were already among them. It was not as cold as it was outside, but there was only one brazier in the huge hall. The carbon fire in the basin had burned white, but no one had come up to add new carbon.
Sun Xiang and Guo Lin sat on either side of the brazier, both of them leaning down and discussing something in a low voice. Seeing that the aquatic students walked in, they hurriedly asked the little man behind them to move two more circle chairs.
After the two compartments saluted, the four of them sat down again. Shui Sheng glanced at Xiao Mi, who was carrying the circle chair for them, wearing only a layer of white-washed single clothes, and his nose and ears were red from the cold.
"Master Hou knows the truth." Shui Sheng said bluntly, "I just lost my temper in the upper room. β
Guo Lin, who had not yet sat down, stood up on the ground, and the circle chair behind him fell to the ground. He scolded and asked, "Who is the mouthful?" Lao Tzu pumped him to death! β
Shui Sheng and Jin Sheng were not surprised when they saw it, but they frightened Sun Xiang and sighed secretly, this Jiansheng Marquis Mansion is worthy of being the team of military generals.
"It's small, Guo Jiang." Shui Sheng admitted with a dry smile, and stretched his neck in front of Guo Lin, "Why don't Guo slash my neck with a knife?" β
"What the hell is going on?" Guo Lin was taken aback again, not embarrassed or embarrassed, and turned around to help the circle chair that fell to the ground, "Can Master Hou know it?" With his irascible nature, I'm so scared! β
Jin Sheng told them what happened in the upper courtyard so clearly, Sun Xiang was silent, and Guo Lin was already excited to jump up.
"So, why don't you wait for me to come over? What did I do in the past? A knife wiped the lady's neck? I'm full and have nothing to do? Don't go, don't go! Guo Lin waved his hand again and again, shouting uneasily.
Shui Sheng laughed lightly and said faintly: "Anyway, Brother Jin and I have already brought the words, and it is a matter of Guo Jiang whether to go or not." β
"You, you ......"
"Okay, don't joke with General Guo, how did you discuss with Mr. Sun? Is there any good way to think of it? β
Guo Lin hung his head like a wilted eggplant, Sun Xiang put his hands in his sleeves, and said: "I dare not talk about the intentions of the imperial court, just talking about the current situation of the Hou Mansion is really not optimistic." Now that Hou Ye knows the inside story, at least he doesn't have to work hard to hide him. β
Everyone nodded according to their words, and Sun Xiang continued: "I know that everyone here wants to keep the water flowing for a long time, and when the Hou Mansion has no income, it will last as long as possible." But now is urgent, everyone can not eat meat for many days, but should the cotton clothes of the people in the house be added? Do you still need to buy the required carbon fire? β
The little man standing next to him sneezed twice. Guo Lin grabbed his hair bun and boasted: "Our brothers can still deal with it for a while, and we don't need to buy cotton clothes." As for the carbon fire, we practice every day, and our bodies are very strong, and we can carry the cold! β
Jin Sheng was not worth a sigh, so he grabbed Bai and said: "No matter how strong your body is, how good can it be if you eat grass every day?" We came from the capital, how many people in the house are unadaptable, do you think the Hou Ye didn't count in his heart? β
"Mr. Sun, don't delay this month, let's distribute it to everyone today." Shui Sheng picked up the copper tongs and dialed the white carbon fire, "If the days drag on for too long, the people below will inevitably complain." β
Sun Xiang bowed slightly to Shui Sheng, and Guo Lin took over the conversation and said, "Who dares to complain? Who in this Hou Mansion has not received the help of the Hou Ye? Who didn't come to the Marquis of Jiansheng Mansion of their own free will? β
"That being said, people have to live first." Shui Sheng sighed helplessly, and Sun Xiang praised: "It's still Shui Ye who has foresight." β
"Mr. Sun, don't bother the little ones." Shui Sheng was flushed, bowed his head and said, "The monthly case should be issued, the cotton clothes should be added, and the carbon fire must be purchased as usual." After this heavy snowfall, I don't know how cold the weather will be. β
"But......" Guo Lin didn't know what to say, so he had to punch his thigh twice.
"Just do what Brother Shui says." Jin Sheng shrunk his neck and said abruptly: "I'm afraid that except for Hou Ye's house, other places are so cold, and it really can't be like this for a long time, so I have to think of a way to come out quickly." β
"Jin Sheng and I followed Hou Ye, there was no shortage of food and clothing, and we couldn't freeze. Mr. Sun will save our monthly routine first. β
"I haven't spent all the money in my previous monthly allowance, so let's save it first."
Sun Xiang accepted them one by one, and then went to the account book to record them.
Shaoyan, the three of them said goodbye to Sun Xiang and walked out of the Paoze Building. The snow had already weakened, and Jin Sheng subconsciously looked into the robe tower and asked, "Is this Mr. Sun reliable?" Why do I think he's a little too dignified? β
"Mr. Sun is knowledgeable, and the accounts are very fast. I look at it, but I don't talk much. Guo Lin said with a smile, his tone was full of admiration for Sun Xiang.
Shui Sheng pondered, and sighed sideways: "Let's try it for a month or two first, if the Hou Mansion has no money, his monthly allowance will not be less." β
"Actually, you can do this living water brother, but you have to find an outsider to intervene." Jin Sheng shrunk his neck and folded his hands in front of him.
"It's okay to help Master Hou serve tea and pour water, where have I managed such a big mansion? Before Mr. Sun came in, I thought that the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and even if the imperial court cut off the reward of the Marquis of Jiansheng's mansion, we could maintain it for a year or two. After Mr. Sun came, he dialed in on the addition, subtraction, and realized that I was too naΓ―ve. β
As he spoke, the three of them had returned to Baxiazhou from the backyard. Guo Linton was in the building in front of the middle hall, and he didn't dare to go in for a long time. Jin Sheng bumped him with his elbow, and said with a low laugh: "General Guo, they all came back with us, and they are still afraid to go in to see Master Hou?" You haven't come here to show your face today, have you? β
"Don't make fun of me!" Guo Lin kicked him, "Hurry up and go in with Shui Sheng to take a look, if Mrs. comes out, I'll go in again." β
Shui Sheng took a step forward to inquire about the situation, and after a while, he turned back into the hugging building, and said with a smile: "Madame has returned to the room, does Guo want to go in?" β
Guo Lin breathed a sigh of relief, took two steps inside, and suddenly turned his head and asked, "Why don't you two go in together?" β
"Hou Ye has gone a little too far with his wife today, I want to go over and make amends for Hou Ye." Shui Sheng glanced at the west main house, and then lowered his voice and said: "I won't mention it before, let's just say that after settling in Jinxian, how Mrs. treats Hou Ye, none of us can see clearly." β
"Who's to say it isn't!" Jin Sheng stepped to Shui Sheng's side, "I'll go with you." β
Guo Lin raised his chin and smiled contemptuously: "Are you ashamed to say this? Thought I didn't know you two took the benefits of Madame? β
Jin Sheng immediately kicked him back, "Nonsense! The two of us are innocent and dedicated to Master Hou. β
Guo Lin bent down and dusted off his clothes, and went to the east main room without detail.
It is said that the two are often introduced into the bright room of the west main room with Rui'er, and Yun'er goes to the inner bedroom to be dyed with phoenixes.
It turned out that Feng Ran was pushed down by Sui Yu and injured her wrist, and then he humiliated her with words, which made Feng Ran angry, and when he got up, he took the herbal tea on the table and splashed Sui Yu's body. threw down a sentence: "I don't know what to do." After that, he turned around and ran out.
Feng Ran didn't understand, what was he obsessed with? He should be trapped in such a small border county.
Sui Qi saw that Feng Ran's face was ugly, and he didn't dare to step forward to say more, and the two maids didn't dare to talk casually. Feng Ran simply didn't say anything, and went straight back to the bedroom to lock the latch.
She came to the space with her red and swollen wrists, and while complaining to Lingquan about Sui Yu's various evil deeds, she put her wrists into the warm Lingquan water to soak.
"Do you think he's sick? The dog bites Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people. Feng Ran gritted her teeth with hatred, "The old lady is really fed up, otherwise I will take you and Daqi to escape, right?" β
There were microwaves on the surface of the spiritual spring, and after a while, a line of small words surfaced: "Little master, you can't leave Master Hou." β
Feng Ran read it back and forth several times, and said in his heart, he knew that he had to bring conditions to give me a plug-in. Then he asked, "Why?" β
"The closer the little master is to the Hou Ye, the stronger the effect of the spiritual spring."
"What?! You were brought out by me from the Feng family, what does it have to do with their Sui family? Can we be a spiritual spring with integrity? β
"Don't be angry, little master, I don't know why. I know that when you get close to others, the spiritual spring does not react, only when you are close to your husband, the effect of the spiritual spring is much stronger than usual. Whether it is the water potential of the spiritual spring, or the growth of the surrounding vegetation. β
Feng Ran still wanted to continue chatting with Lingquan, but Yun'er had already knocked on the door outside the bedroom, so she had to come back and let Yun'er come into the ward.
Without going to Si Xu, Feng Ran walked back to the bright room with Yun'er. Shui Sheng and Jin Sheng were shocked when they saw Feng Ran holding their red and swollen wrists, and they knelt down without saying anything, "For the sake of Hou Ye's crippled legs, don't resent him." β
