Qishan Marquis Mansion

In a single attic in the backyard, in front of the window on the third floor, there was a woman dressed in red with a hairpin full of beads.

Looking at the lively voices in the front hall from afar, the woman wondered, "Which guest is this entertaining?" ”

The maid who was holding a hairpin for her behind her heard this, and hurriedly stopped, and said respectfully: "Back to the county lord, today is the lady's cousin who borrowed the place in the house to hold a banquet!" ”

Also a feast? Savor these three words. The county lord of Yun'an looked at the lively scenery in front of him, and a cool smile appeared on his lips.

The maid behind her who was grooming her looked at it, and her hands shook in fright, and the sharp golden hairpin accidentally poked at the scalp of the county lord of Yun'an, causing her to snort lightly.

"County Lord! It's the slave and the maid who are negligent, please spare the slave and maid's life! The maid was startled, hurriedly let go of her hand and knelt at Yun An's feet, kowtowing and begging.

Looking at her description, Yun An sneered and pulled the crooked golden hairpin out of his hair and gently put it on the table, and said meaningfully: "What are you afraid of?" You are so diligent, how can the lord of this county kill you? But... If you want to live, you have to do one more thing for me. ”

Seeing her weird appearance, the maid was even more frightened and trembled, and said with a crying voice: "Please... Please make it clear to the county lord. ”

Glancing at the guards guarding the gate of his courtyard through the window, Yun An chuckled, "Take me to see my father." ”

"County Lord......" Yahuan heard this, and said cautiously with a sad face: "Hou... Master Hou has been unwell lately, and he is being raised behind closed doors, and Madame has also ordered that no one should disturb him..."

Yun An snorted coldly when he heard this, but he didn't speak again.

Since she came to the mansion of the Marquis of Qishan, she deliberately chose this small attic on the shore of the garden lake, and originally only felt that this place was extremely exquisite and luxurious, and the scenery was also very good. It wasn't until she was confined and locked up in this rarely visited courtyard that she felt that this attic was very lonely and lonely, as if she was incompatible with the Qishan Marquis Mansion.

Princess Linhua's incident finally made Yun An understand the unreliability of people's hearts: the people in front of you are just warm and attentive to you on weekdays, what's the use of asking for warmth? At that life-and-death juncture, it's not for self-preservation that I abandoned you!

But in the future, I am afraid that this revenge will not be avenged?

Thinking of this, Yun An's eyes were full of seeping resentment, and the golden hairpin in his hand forcibly drew a mark on the mahogany dressing table.

How much effort did it take me to get rid of the life of begging for charity in a low voice? Now that he finally has this wealth and glory, how can he honestly be bullied!

Even if others don't look at her, Yun An knows that he still holds the hole card of the head of the Hou Mansion and his father Qi Shanhou in his hand! But this Qi Shanhou has always been frail, and most of the time he is closed to visitors, and he ...... There is still a life at any time, the risk of dying, I am afraid that it is not enough to rely on him alone, so I have to take advantage of the fact that Qi Shanhou is alive, and use his power to rely on a more secure tree!

Looking at the master's fixed appearance, the old lady who was personally sent by Mrs. Qishan Hou to serve on the side hurriedly stepped forward and said, "County Lord, Mrs. has sent you a lot of dresses and jewelry in the past two days, do you want to try it?" ”

At this time, Yun An, who was distraught, seemed to have lost interest in these things, and said impatiently: "No need, you can leave it for me first." ”

After saying that, Yun An turned his head and continued to look at the bustle of the front hall, not knowing what he was thinking.

But looking at it, Yun An found that a young man dressed in white and extremely handsome suddenly appeared in the Dangui Guilin by the lake, and the white face of the boy was plated with a layer of warm yellow light in the noon sun.

Fang Cai's eyes that were still full of resentment suddenly lit up, and Yun An hurriedly said, "Mama! Which is the white-clothed boy in Danguilin! ”

The grandmother looked at it carefully, and then said: "The old slave heard from the grandmother in the front yard that the eldest young master of the Fang Mansion today is dressed in white, which is the best in the world, and I want to come... It's this son! ”

"Fang Mansion? How many officials is their master? ”

"County Lord, the lady who borrowed our mansion to hold a return banquet today is Lord Fang's wife! This lord is a fine food waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and the official worships the six products. ”

Six products? When Yun An heard this, he pursed his lips in some disappointment and didn't continue to ask.

Because Mrs. Qishanhou had already ordered someone to quietly stare at Yun'an, it didn't take long for the actions and words of the county lord of Yun'an to reach the ears of Mrs. Qishanhou.

Mrs. Qi Shanhou sneered: "What's the matter, does she still look down on Liupin?" It's too late to pick a husband now! You keep an eye on her for me, and don't let her step out of this courtyard until she's out of the cabinet!" Also, you go to the palace to deliver a message for me..."

At this time, Yun An, who didn't know anything about this, eased up for a while, but finally let Fang Shaoze's face comparable to the flower of spring dawn hook his soul, and began to plan wholeheartedly how to get this handsome son.

Yin family

As soon as he saw Yin Ling enter the door, Yin Nian's family rushed up impatiently and said, "Ling'er, I just heard the maid come back to pass the word!" How, did the eldest young master of Fang Mansion really fall into your eyes? ”

When Yin Ling heard this, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Mother, where are you here!" ”

Yin Nian's clan directly ignored his daughter's reaction, and said to himself: "Oh Ling'er, Fang Cainiang also specially asked people to inquire, although the eldest young master of the Fang family grew up in a remote area since he was a child, but if he is serious, he is a down-to-earth eldest young master, and his status is higher than that of Mrs. Qin's son!" And even if the child's family background is average, we don't need to be rich and expensive, you husband and wife will work together to run it at that time, why can't you save a family business! ”

Shaking his head helplessly, Yin Ling smiled bitterly: "Mother! These things that can't be beaten with eight poles, you can talk about the husband and wife when you ask! I told you before, I will never marry in this life! ”

"Nonsense!" Yin Nian's face sank when he arrived, and he said hurriedly: "Mother knows that you want to enter the Shang Shan Bureau, but you don't want to think about how far the Yin family's so many generations of people who have been in the palace all their lives have finally fallen!" There are those who lost their lives because of the intrigue of the harem, those who were martyred with their masters, and those who missed the best age and could only eat with the eunuchs! How can you let your mother rest assured that you will enter the palace! ”

Yin Ling retorted: "Then didn't my cousin and grandmother live to be more than eighty years old without incident!" ”

"Safe?" Yin Nianshi snorted coldly and said, "Although your cousin and grandmother lived to be more than eighty years old, when did she sigh in the rest of her life, like asking for an heir?" When she was young, she was as proud and ambitious as you, and then she finally had to talk about family affairs, but her parents were afraid that your cousin and grandmother would not be able to help the family in the palace, so they beat the mandarin ducks and ruined the happiness of her life! My mother still remembers the envious and sad look when your cousin and grandmother looked at your brother! Isn't the most important thing in a woman's life to be a husband and teach children, but such an ordinary happiness, your cousin and grandmother have never gotten it in their lives in order to help the Yin family, and finally ended up dead...... Ling'er, can't you listen to your mother's advice? ”

Saying that, Yin Nianshi sat at the table a little weakly, and said with red eyes: "Ling'er, I want to know your thoughts." Isn't the reason why you want to enter the palace is to spell out some fame, so that your mother and your brother can raise their heads in this Yin family and never have to look at people's faces again? If you are a man, your mother will not stop you, but you are a little girl in the prime of your life, and you have no regret medicine to take after a few years of youth! Mother is already very satisfied with this life now, and your brother and he are even more unwilling to rely on his sister, so Ling'er, don't put so much pressure on yourself, my mother's only wish is that you can live happily! ”

Yin Ling listened to her mother's heart-wrenching words, and her heart was also a little sour: "But my mother ......"

"Ling'er, you are the heart and soul that I have brought to this world with all my might, my mother just wants you to be happy for the rest of your life, do you understand? If you are old when the time comes, and in your old age, you will look like your cousin and grandmother, but in fact you are sad, and the juniors in the house only hope that she will breathe her breath early to get a share of the property, then how sad your mother should be in heaven! ”

Listening quietly, Yin Ling was already so distressed that she burst into tears. Yin Nian's words made her a little shaken, but the last bit of obsession in her heart was not easy to disperse.

Since she was a child, Yin Ling has watched her unkind father bring trouble to the Yin family and her mother because of the flowers and grass everywhere, and watched her father slap her mother in the face for other women, and even until he was terminally ill, he had to order the little servant to find a prostitute for him to go home to serve! Although not all men in the world are like this, Yin Ling has been heartbroken by his father since he was a child, and he has no hope for men in this world.

couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, but he couldn't bear to let his mother continue to be sad, so Yin Ling could only agree with his conscience for the time being, which coaxed Yin Nian's family to rest at ease.

But just as Yin Ling was about to go to relax, he saw his master come to the door in person.

Mr. Xu sighed and entered the door, and said sadly: "Two days ago, the Marquis of Qi Shanhou had a poor appetite, and he talked to the Queen Mother several times about wanting to eat rose cakes, so the Queen Mother ordered us to send it over. But I and the white case cook in the imperial dining room have improved several times in a row and failed to get into the eyes of Qi Shanhou, and the queen mother has a big temper, and said that if you don't satisfy Qi Shanhou, you will deduct a year's money from the imperial dining room! I don't care if I'm an old thing, but there are still a lot of young children in the dining room who have to support their families, so I can only come to see if your cousin's old recipes are made of rose cakes. ”

Yin Ling, who has high hopes for the Yin family, has flipped through the secret recipes of her cousin and grandmother since she was a child, and even most of them have been memorized, but those recipes have all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and there is no dim sum that ordinary people can afford such as rose cakes.

Yin Ling shook his head, and said in confusion: "Master, in terms of the craftsmanship of you and those seniors in the imperial dining room, there is no possibility of making this rose cake unpalatable!" Yes, I wonder if the Marquis of Qi Shan will have any special requirements for the rose cake? ”

After hearing this, Mr. Xu said abruptly: "The Queen Mother said that the mother of the county lord of Yun'an used to run a dim sum shop in the past, so I guessed that Qi Shanhou should miss that taste!" But I heard that the mother of the county lord of Yun'an has passed away for many years, and the teacher has not even tasted a bite of the rose cake, how can she make it? ”
