On the side of the East Courtyard, after lunch, Chang Ru fell asleep, and Nan Yingying quietly walked to the door, opened the door of the East Courtyard, and a figure like a maid broke in. Nan Yingying glanced out twice, hurriedly closed the door and asked, "How are things going?" What about Lamei? Why did you come back alone? ”

The person who came was Nan Yingying's maid Huang Tao, she was responsible for arranging Lamei into Nan Chengye's courtyard to serve Yuye, and she also had to secretly monitor Yuye's every move, and she had to come back to see Nan Yingying after lunch every day.

Huang Tao hurriedly wiped the sweat from his face, panting and said, "Second Miss has been there, and then ...... Lamei died. I'm afraid I heard something I shouldn't have heard, and before I could restore my life, I was gone. ”

Nan Yingying stroked her palms and laughed: "Hahaha, I know." Unexpectedly, this bed-crawling maid has now learned some masters, and I already know her secret. She really thinks that she has done a trickle, this slut, don't want to enter the door of my Nanfu. Nan Yingying suppressed her laughter, so as not to laugh too much, woke Chang Ru up, and read in a low voice, "How is the matter of Xi Po?" ”

Xi Po is considered an accomplice in Nan Xinyue's framing of Nan Yingying, Nan Yingying has excellent acumen and caught Xi Po shortly after Nan Xinyue's death.

Huang Tao said: "I haven't let go yet, I'm holding on, this is a hard bone." ”

Nan Yingying walked back to her house with Huang Tao, curled her hair and played, although she caught this person, she still couldn't find out the real culprit behind that incident, and pondered for a while before saying, "It seems that my mother has to come forward." This bone is a little harder, it's okay, we have time to slowly wear it down. ”

Huang Tao cooked lotus seed soup for Nan Yingying before going out, and it was the summer heat before autumn, and drinking lotus seed soup was the most hot. Huang Tao took the lotus seed soup and handed it to Nan Yingying and said, "Miss, Madame's spirit has not been very good recently, even Dr. Tang has left overnight, and no trace of Dr. Tang has been found yet." ”

Nan Yingying's hand stirring lotus seed soup paused, she always felt that things had been very strange recently, and there were many things that were wrong, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong. Nan Yingying took a sip of lotus seed soup, but it was very cool, and some things were incomprehensible, as if all of them had fallen into someone's strategy and had been falling deeper and deeper in this whirlpool.

Huang Tao said: "Miss, aren't you going to see the third lady?" ”

Nan Yingying put down the lotus seed soup and said after a while: "Mother is asleep now, you just said, my mother has not been in good spirits recently, and I still don't walk around in front of her to annoy her." Wait, I'll go over when my mother is better. ”

Huang Tao silently took the lotus seed soup that Nan Yingying had drunk out of the house, and Chang Ru's housekeeper was standing outside the house, Huang Tao shook her head and said, "Miss is not feeling well today, so I won't go to visit Madame." ”

The steward understood and went back to his life. In fact, Chang Ru didn't sleep for long, and was woken up by Nan Yingying's laughter, she always felt that Nan Yingying was not quite right, so she asked the housekeeper to invite, but she didn't expect Nan Yingying to be reluctant to come, Chang Ru didn't get angry after she knew, but asked about the situation on Nanwen Mountain with an expressionless face.

The housekeeper said: "Madam, the ancestor is in a good mood today, and Ming'er also invited the second lady to go to the painting together." ”

Chang Ru couldn't calm down after hearing this, his facial expression was even more hideous, he picked up the teacup on the table and threw it to the ground, scolding: "He is still so happy when his grandson is dead!" Look at that night, it was his grandson's own father, he was trained like this, what else do you want us to do in the East Courtyard? I see that all he has in his eyes is the two mud in the west courtyard that can't support the wall! ”

The housekeeper was frightened and hurriedly stopped Chang Ru from going on. Now the two brothers and sisters in the West Courtyard are being favored in front of Nanwen Mountain, they can't be said so bluntly, so that people with a heart can listen to it, how can it be good, the housekeeper comforted: "Madame be cautious, you should be angry, you should calm down, or we will be reprimanded by the master again, right?" ”

Hearing Nan Shuo, Chang Ru suddenly calmed down, didn't drop things or speak, and even lost his temper, and the atmosphere in the room was very strange for a while. The housekeeper was sweating a little, and was about to open his mouth to remind Chang Ru of something, but Chang Ru actually began to talk to himself.

Chang Ru said: "Those bastards, seeing that our East Courtyard has no business, they want to let Nan Yiqing take the throne, it's just a dream." ”

"Sir? He eats, drinks and enjoys even when his son is gone, and when his son is gone, he can still find some indifferent Yingge Yanwu outside to give birth to a new one. ”

......

The housekeeper was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he didn't know how to persuade Chang Ru for a while.

Early in the morning of the second day, Nan Shiyu took Jin Zhi to the study of Nanwen Mountain, and when he opened the door, he found that Nan Yiqing was also inside, and he actually pointed to the "Mountain Dwelling Map" there and praised it again and again, and even appreciated the skills of the painting, and praised the painter's superb skills after a while.

Nan Wenshan was very pleased, he didn't expect Nan Yiqing to have such a deep insight in painting, and couldn't help but praise: "Qing'er is right, when did you know so much about painting, you really have attainments everywhere, you are the grandson of my Nan family!" ”

Hearing this, Nan Shiyu stood at the door and laughed in her heart, the two people inside didn't seem to notice Nan Shiyu coming, and they were still praising each other inside, almost making Nan Shiyu laugh and die at the door.

It turns out that the "Mountain Dwelling Map" is a fake! It was sent by Nan Shiyu specially ordered someone, but I didn't expect that the two people in the room couldn't even recognize a fake painting, and even boasted about it, so that Nan Shiyu, the planner, how could he not die of laughter.

Nan Shiyu saw that it was almost over, so she went into the door to salute and greet Nan Wenshan and Nan Yiqing.

Nan Yiqing looked at Nan Shiyu, and said with a light in his eyes: "The second sister came just in time, such a good painting, where did you get it?" This painting method looks like the painting of a famous master, as far as I know, the works of this master are generally not easy to obtain, so it can be seen that you still have some ways to do this. ”

Nan Shiyu pretended to be depressed, lowered her eyes and said, "This ...... This is what I found in my mother's room when I was packing up my mother's belongings. After thinking about it, he smiled happily, and his brows were evacuated, "Since my grandfather likes it so much, I will give it to my grandfather." ”

Speaking of Zhao Ziwei, Nan Wenshan remembered that although Zhao Ziwei was born in a business, she was no different from the ladies of the scholarly family, and she was also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Nan Wenshan looked at the painting on the table, pondered for a while and said, "Then it's no wonder, your mother loved these when she was alive, and she must have gotten it from some master." Speaking of, how do you get a skinny gold body? ”

A few days ago, Nan Yiqing took Nan Shiyu and Nan Yingying out to play, Nan Shiyu wrote a good thin gold body at the poetry meeting, won the first prize, and Nan Yiqing informed Nanwenshan after he came back. Nan Wenshan was also surprised at first, but he didn't expect that Nan Shiyu would actually lose his golden body.

Nan Shiyu explained: "This is what happened to my mother when she was alive. At that time, my mother saw that I was idle all day, so she taught her granddaughter to write, and at that time she taught me to be thin and golden. ”

Nan Wenshan's brows jumped a few times, he frowned a little and scolded: "The Zhao family really doesn't know the rules!" If I teach you some flowers and plants, forget it, these are what the husband wants to teach you, not a woman's business. ”

Nan Shiyu nodded, quickly glared at Nan Wenshan, and then hurriedly praised Nan Qiqinglai: "Grandfather is right, if it wasn't for the second brother who recognized that font that day, I don't know what font it is, my mother just taught me, and didn't tell my granddaughter what it was." ”

Nan Yiqing was a little hesitant, it wasn't him who recognized it first that day, it was Yumo who recognized it first. On the contrary, he also recited Nan Shiyu's ignorance of poetry like those sons, and he was a little embarrassed at the moment, but since it was a long-faced matter, Nan Yiqing didn't want to refuse like this, so he had to respond to Nan Shiyu's kindness and nodded again and again.

Brother and sister, you push me to let me, but Nan Wenshan feels that the relationship between the two brothers and sisters in the West Courtyard is very good, and Nan Yiqing is better than Nan Chengye, although Nan Shiyu is not as good as Nan Yingying, but knowing the thin gold body can be regarded as giving Nan the family face.

Nan Wenshan heard that it was Nan Yiqing who recognized it as a thin gold body, and his face soothed a little before he said: "Speaking of which, Zhao also loved more elegant things such as flower arrangement when he was there, but he didn't expect that he was still a poet who could read poetry and books, and Yu'er was also taught by her well, very good, worthy of being Ye'er's mother-in-law." It's me who made her suffer, their husband and wife were separated, and it also made it difficult for Yu'er and Ling'er's father and daughter to see each other, it's not my old thing. ”

Speaking of this, Nan Wenshan stopped, and his eyes flashed, and he suddenly remembered that there were other things to let Nan Shiyu come over today. Looking at Nan Shiyu's respectful attitude, he was also very satisfied, and said: "I still have something to tell you today, can you take the recommendation card of Yumo Gongzi?" ”

Before Nan Shiyu could answer, Nan Wenshan continued: "The people who can hold this card are all royal relatives and nobles, so you have to treat them well." When you return to Beijing, your family will arrange for you to go to the academy to take the assessment. The family has done so much just so that you can give back to the family in the future, otherwise this recommendation card of yours will be given to other daughters in the family. ”

Nan Shiyu despised Nanwenshan in her heart, and sure enough, in Nanwenshan's eyes, the interests of the family are the most important, and any son and granddaughter are just chess pieces that can be discarded. Nan Shiyu pretended to be scared, and was so frightened that she hurriedly agreed to Nan Wenshan: "Grandfather is right, granddaughter will live up to the expectations of grandfather and family." ”

Nan Yiqing looked at Nan Shiyu as if she was frightened, and hurriedly relieved: "The second sister is still so young, don't be in a hurry at this time." ”

Nan Wenshan smiled kindly and said: "You protect her so much, you can only protect her for a while, but you can't protect her for a lifetime." ”

As everyone knows, Nan Shiyu's eyes are full of ridicule, this time is just an illusion that Nan Yiqing is acting mature and steady in front of Nan Wenshan, and when he returns to Beijing the next day, where will Nan Yiqing protect Nan Shiyu. The whole of this Nanfu is carried away by interests.

After the three of them laughed for a while, the butler came and knocked on the door, interrupting the conversation between the three of them.

Nan Wenshan said: "What's wrong? ”

The housekeeper stepped forward to apologize to the three people, Nan Wenshan asked him not to be so polite and hurried, and the housekeeper said: "It was the third lady who sent some food and drink, saying that it was to apologize to the ancestor for the incident that night." ”

Nan Wenshan was even more overjoyed, and praised Nan Yiqing's brothers and sisters: "Your three aunts have finally figured it out and know how to serve their husbands." ”

The housekeeper echoed: "The old ancestor is right, the third lady has been thinking about it behind closed doors recently, and there is nothing wrong with it. That night, the third lady was ignorant and lost her sense of proportion, so she collided with the old ancestor. This man has three wives and four concubines, but it is a symbol of prosperity and a good thing, but the third lady is actually making a big fuss. ”

The mouths of the two fell to Chang Ru one by one, and the two brothers and sisters of Nan Yiqing had to drink tea and eat snacks on the side, which was also comfortable. After a while, Nan Wenshan said: "You go back and tell her that you will live a good life in the future." ”
