Chapter 33: Home, Home, Home

Guan Zhuofan was stunned: What do you mean?

After thinking about it, he said in a tone as relaxed as possible: "There is the Empress Dowager Lao's thoughts." Uh, didn't you just move into the small street of Chaonehoku? Over there in the wicker alley, it hasn't been refreshed yet, and when it's all picked up, it's breakfast-"

He grinned: "There is still something to eat." ”

Cixi glanced at him: "I'll tell you seriously, don't take it seriously with a hippie smile." When you say 'refreshing' and 'picking up and understanding', do you mean moving the Bai family and the Ming family across the north side street? ”

"Yes," Guan Zhuofan put away his smile and said solemnly, "Queen Mother Mingjian, two sisters-in-law, I have the responsibility to support them, but I can't enter the prince, the princess, change the mansion, and let the two sisters-in-law live by themselves." Someone will poke me in the back if I do that. ”

"Look at what you said!" Cixi said angrily, "Did I tell you to ignore the two sisters-in-law? You took the Bai family and the Ming family to the north street of Chaonei, which should be divided. However, if your daily life and diet are still taken care of by your two sisters-in-law as before, what do you think of calling the two princesses? In your family, the two of them are serious housewives, so aren't these two housewives derelict in their duties? In their hearts, can it be the taste? ”

Guan Zhuofan's mind is spinning, ah...... I see what you mean.

You have to pretend to be stupid on your face: "This, how should the minister ...... Uh, please make it clear to the Queen Mother. ”

"I think," said Cixi, "that you have too little time to be with Dunniu'er and Liniu'er!" One month, one princess, only six days, two of them. Even if you want to take care of your diet and daily life. Also...... Alas. To put it mildly, 'rats pull turtles', I don't know where to start'! ”

Sister, your metaphor is really ......

"I think it's time to adjust your 'schedule', a princess. For a month, you stay at least ...... Well, double, eleven or two days, right? In this way, the Bai family and the Ming family can also suffer a little less! You're married, and you're still salivating to trouble your two sisters-in-law? Can't you just call the two of them and spend a few days idle? ”

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, and Guan Zhuofan's face remains unchanged. But I couldn't help but beat a drum in my heart.

I always feel like you know something......

Nature. In this way, the Bai family and the Ming family can really suffer a little less "tired", but this "tired", the two of them are willing to "suffer" a lot, and they really "suffer" less "tired", but I am afraid that people will not be happy......

Seeing that Guan Zhuofan hesitated and didn't answer, Cixi frowned and said, "Let me tell you, this matter, 'Dongbian' and I, our sisters, all have the same meaning!" Since you are married, you should honestly guard your wife, and don't wander around anymore - Dun Niuer and Li Niuer are all top people who are selected by thousands of miles and thousands of miles, and if you can marry two such beautiful wives, you can be regarded as cultivated in your previous life! ”

"Also, there are two 'trial marriage qualifications', Dun Niu'er's Xiaoxi, and Li Niuer's...... Oh, it's called Cui'er - I've seen it too, two girls, both of them are very talented, and they are all used by you, and you are not enough? ”

Cixi said it in one breath, and her tone had changed a little. Guan Zhuofan originally wanted to say a few cheap words such as "not enough - unless you also return to me, it will be enough", but after thinking about it, Cixi is serious and menacing, and it is not good to make such jokes now.

He touched his head and smiled slightly bitterly: "The Queen Mother's admonition is really an initiation." ”

Cixi smiled, slowed her tone, and said, "'Dongbian' said that she still wants to hold her grandson earlier!" You stay with the princess for a few days a month, when will we be able to hold our grandson? ”

The words "hugging her grandson" were actually said by Cixi herself when she lobbied Ci'an, and now she has gently and skillfully placed it on Ci'an's head, anyway, it is impossible for Guan Zhuofan to use this to confront the queen mother.

"You just do as I said, a month, a few more days, live with the two princesses, husband and wife are harmonious, give birth to a noble son early, you have three meals a day, there are also people waiting, you see, there are a lot!"

Well, these reasons, sounding, are both above board and considerate, and I seem to be happy to get into it, otherwise I just don't know what to do, and I will be embarrassed.

But, sister, I know your true intentions.

"The Ministers are respectfully respectful. However, the Queen Mother Mingjian, among them, there is still a joint, uh, not without worry. ”

"Oh, what's the problem? Tell me, what's the problem? ”

"Yes." Guan Zhuofan said calmly, "The minister is in charge of the cardinal, and after he gets off duty every day, he has to meet people in the mansion to do things." Three meals a day, well, breakfast and lunch, needless to say, this dinner, even if it is used in the house, is often used to entertain guests. However, it was not confidants and friends who had private drinks, but court officials gathered to discuss matters. After all the lights are in charge, you still have to see people to do things. The Queen Mother knows all this. ”

Cixi frowned slightly, she reacted quickly, and she already knew what Guan Zhuofan was going to say.

I hadn't thought of that......

Guan Zhuofan continued: "In the mansion of the two princesses, there is no suitable person to serve the pen and ink - the Queen Mother Mingjian, the case of the minister, which is very heavy, and it is divided into details, and the clues are complicated. The study of the servant must be coarse and ink, but it is not enough to be coarse and ink. Uh, still have to ...... Knowing the severity, access, and end is not limited to ink research and scrolling. It's not easy. ”

After a pause, he said: "Besides, it is not advisable to carry a large number of official documents with you -- every month, the ministers have to go back and forth in Chaoyang North Street, the Hutong behind the Lifan Yuan, and the Hutong of Xiaosuzhou. ”

In other words, I can't work with two wives, one wife for eleven or two days a month? Do I still have to work like that?

Cixi was silent.

"Also," Guan Zhuofan said eloquently, "In the mansion of the two princesses, the grandmother, the maids, and the servants are all sent by the Internal Affairs Government, and the ministers have not interfered at all. The Queen Mother also knows how reliable the mouths of the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs can be. If I see someone in the princess's mansionβ€”"

After a pause, "hehe" smiled, and said: "I'm afraid, nothing has been decided on tonight's discussion, and early tomorrow morning, everyone in Sijiu City will know." ”

"This ...... Well, it's 'not worrying'. ”

"Yes. Also, in Dunrou's house, there is about my ...... The people of the sixth brother. ”

This sentence almost said "In Dunrou's house, there are about my father-in-law's people", and after thinking about it, it's not right, so I hurriedly stopped and changed my words.

According to the patriarchal law, since Dunrou was recognized as a daughter by the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and crowned Princess Gulun, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces is her "Imperial Mother", and her "Huang Ama" is the Wenzong who is the guest of the dragon, and on the table, King Gong can no longer be called "Ama". Then, my father-in-law, on the table, should also be Wenzong, not the "sixth brother".

Damn, that's enough...... Disorderly.

What Guan Zhuofan was thinking, Cixi naturally didn't know, but she admitted that what Guan Zhuofan said made sense: Yes, I can secretly install eyes and ears in Dun Niu'er's mansion, and the sixth child is naturally more able to do this, after all, Dun Niuer is his biological daughter.
