Chen Peier watched the maid Bai Zhi trim her eyebrows for herself, her eyes were not sad or happy. Although her eyebrows are naturally slender, like a weeping willow in March, they still need to be pruned from time to time, so as not to be discussed by other housewives or servant wives in the house, and lose the demeanor of a woman.www.biquge.info

Bai Zhi trimmed a "willow leaf eyebrows" for her, the style of this eyebrow is from the ancient "split eyebrows", "the tips are divided and oblique" is the most fashionable, although she is a little more heroic than ordinary women, there is the ambition to help the world, but it is not exempt from vulgarity, and the heart is thinking of cutting a fashionable style.

Yesterday, my sister Chen Ting'er came to visit and sent the scales of the anchovy, which is a treasure and has to pay tribute to the court every year, which is the most precious. Hearing that Nanjing women like to stick fish scales on their faces to make "flower jing", she decided to give it a try.

But when I thought of "Nanjing", Chen Peier couldn't help but sigh, her husband had been touring Jiangnan for almost a month, in the past, her husband only knew how to read and write, and she felt that he had no talent, not a hero, and she didn't sigh in her heart, but now her husband has the ability, and he took more than 2,000 people to tour Jiangnan, but he misses it very much, it can be seen that things in this world, don't think about two if you have one, there is no perfect one.

Bai Zhi saw Chen Pei'er sighing, and thought that she thought that the flowers were not good-looking, so she hurriedly said: "Young grandma, this anchovy scales are the most cherished, the color is like silver, bright and lovely, many people can't ask for it, your face is originally white, and now you have this anchovy scales, which complement each other the most!" She was only sixteen years old, with a round face and big eyes, and a small dimple on the left side of her face when she smiled.

Chen Pei'er sighed: "Why don't I like this anchovy?" I just thought, after the young master has been away for so long, he wrote a letter to his family, and he still asked me to give him money, and he didn't mention missing me in half a sentence, it's really sad! ”

As soon as Bai Zhi heard this, her originally high mood was also a little low, and she muttered: "If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan, now the whole Jiangnan is spreading this poem, saying that the young master is a literary song, and there is a good woman when he was young, this is simply a rumor!" ”

"Whether it's a rumor or not, where do you know? You have been married with me since you were at home, and you are not from this Liufu, how do you know that the young master did not have a good relationship when he was young? Chen Peier said dissatisfiedly.

Bai Zhi thought about it, and immediately said with a smile: "A beauty like the young grandmother, even if it is in the sky, it is rare, the young master is afraid that he will not find a second one in this world, how can he not fall in love with the young grandmother?" ”

Chen Peier knew that Bai Zhi said this to make herself happy, although she was confident in her appearance, she didn't dare to say that she was unique, and she cared more about practical things than her appearance, so she said: "Bai Zhi, you are my confidant, there are some things I don't say to others, but it's okay to talk to you." I have read all the history books, read through the classics, and have never been able to serve people with color, and love to relax, without exception, if a woman feels that she can make waves with a little color, then when the color declines, she will inevitably have to repay her debts! You are my personal person, when you are old, you either want the young master to lift you, or you want to let go out to marry, if you follow the young master, I can still remind you from time to time, if you go out, but you must remember! ”

After a pause, Chen Pei'er said again: "You also know the situation of the young master in the past few days, and he has made a lot of achievements, seeing that he is the head of this Jiangnan Shilin, and he has written two big books, "Confucius Reform Examination" and "Xinxue Pseudo-scripture Examination". Since we women can't show up and get in and out, this back house must be taken care of, neither can there be the bullying and ruining the reputation of the young master, nor can there be the rumors that make people uneasy, if you are willing to marry the young master, you will be an assistant of mine in the future. ”

Seeing that Chen Pei'er said solemnly, and marrying her young lady's husband was a means for the eldest lady to fix her favor, Bai Zhi didn't show a shy look, but just nodded and agreed: "The slave knows." ”

Chen Peier took a look at her makeup in the bronze mirror again, felt that there was no flaw, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's good that you understand, let's go, I have to go to my mother to say goodbye today, but don't be late, lest people talk again!" ”

After saying this, she sighed faintly, but unfortunately she was born as a daughter, and she was not allowed to be an official in the imperial examination, nor could she gallop on the field, otherwise she Chen Peier would not have to make a career!

The Liujia mansion is located in Songjiang Mansion, located in the north of Puzhao Temple, and Puzhao Temple is only one street away, if there are any festivals, birthday incense is the most convenient. This mansion is built by the ancestors of the Liu family, the base is spacious, the hall is profound, there are high walls, heavy doors are stacked, and the regulations are grand, which can be compared with the prime minister's mansion, but this Jiangnan area is a luxury style, so no one to say. The old grandmother of the Liu family is the most believing in Buddhism, and she only eats long fasts at home every day, copies scriptures and books, and only goes to Puzhao Temple to worship incense when there is a Buddhist thing, and she does not go out easily, and the juniors do not dare to disturb.

Liu Xu's mother Zhang is also an ignorant person, she only knows the "three obedience and four virtues", and when there is a big event, she just asks Liu Xu for advice, and Liu Xu is usually a bold person, so Chen Peier is equivalent to the big housekeeper of the whole house. Fortunately, she often followed her mother to learn how to manage the house at home, and she was smart and clever and proficient in arithmetic, so the huge Liufu was managed by her in an orderly manner, and everyone praised her.

Chen Peier thought about her housekeeper's exploits over the years, and was in a good mood in her heart, and walked with Bai Zhi and the three maids for a while, but found that the window above a living room was actually painted with a red mark, this window Chen Peier remembered that it was originally "unqualified", except for the square holes in the upper and lower and middle of the place, the others are dredging, the style is quite exquisite, it is said that it was passed on from the Song Dynasty traitor Qin Hui. On the other hand, a mark about the size of a thumb is drawn on the lattice, which is round on the outside and square on the inside, and on the inside is a symbol that resembles Chinese characters but does not exactly look like Chinese characters. This mark was originally very small, and ordinary people would not pay attention to it at all, but Chen Pei'er has excellent observation and can find the difference in the subtleties, so that she can see the clues from the subtleties.

Chen Pei'er took a closer look, and the paint of the mark had not completely dried, obviously it had just been painted today.

"What's going on with this window? Who of you knows? Chen Pei'er looked left and right, saw a servant nearby, called him over and asked.

"Back to the young grandmother's words, I don't know the little one, but today I saw Steward Liu passing by here for a while."

"Alright, you go down. Chen Pei'er waved her hand and sent the servant away, frowned and said, "What the hell is this Liu Chuan doing?" Recently, some subordinates have reported to me that his hands and feet are not clean, and I haven't settled accounts with him yet, and he has made such a show again! ”

When Bai Zhi heard this, she immediately said: "Young grandmother, this Liu Chuan is said that he is in debt for gambling outside, and he wants his life if he has no money to pay it back, doesn't this person want to remove the window and sell it?" ”

"Nonsense, although this window is also made by a craftsman, how much money can it be sold for? If he wants to be corrupt and take bribes, why should he use such methods? Chen Pei'er's brain was running rapidly, "What is the use of this mark, and what does it have to do with Liu Chuan?" It is estimated that the one who comes in this matter is not good, and the good one does not come. ”

Suddenly, a maid said, "Didn't this Liu Chuanmo learn some evil method and want to use it at home?" ”

Chen Pei'er's heart moved, but she remained silent on the surface: "What do you know, the evil method there can only be used by drawing marks?" Don't talk about it, you can go with me and say hello to my wife! ”

While walking, Chen Pei'er quietly called Bai Zhi and said, "You go find a few reliable domestic servants and ask them to find out what Liu Chuan is doing all day, be sure to be detailed!" ”

My wife lived in the "Shan Yan Tang", and although she did not believe in Buddhism as much as her grandmother, she was also quite devout, so she changed the name of her residence.

When the maid saw Chen Pei'er coming, she immediately saluted and said, "Hello young grandmother." ”

Chen Pei'er nodded and said, "My daughter-in-law has come to say hello to my mother, and I'm tired of reporting it." ”

"Mrs. said, as long as the young grandmother comes, you don't have to report it, you can go directly."

Seeing this, Chen Peier didn't speak anymore, and directly led people into the room.

Mrs. advocates simplicity and does not like pearl jade, so there is not too much gold and jade decoration in the room, but after all, the Liu family is a local family, so the furniture in the room is rosewood, this wood is produced in Hainan wood, the color is purple red, slightly fragrant, the texture is like the spot of a raccoon cat, so it is called "flower civet", which is most suitable for making beds, screens and other utensils.

Mrs. seems to be looking very good today, she doesn't wear too much jewelry, she is wearing a purple flower jacket, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, when she saw Chen Pei'er coming, she said happily: "Today's daughter-in-law looks very good, but she received Xu'er's family letter?" ”

Her words just poked Chen Pei'er's heart, Chen Pei'er sighed, and said with three points of sadness: "The family letter is here, but it's a pity that it's better not to come." ”

"How do you say that?" Mrs. Qi said.

"Mother doesn't know, Liu Xu has no conscience, he has done a lot of work outside, first took thousands of people to destroy the Wei Zhongxian Temple in Jiading, and then gathered in Suzhou Tiger Hill to fight against castration, there are tens of thousands of participants, saying that it is the thunder of heaven that destroyed the Suzhou Ancestral Hall, and the public trial of the Suzhou prefect, issued a document, calling on the world's scholars to work together to fight against castration, and now it is estimated that it will be killed in Nanjing!"

"Oh my God!" The wife clutched her chest and exclaimed, "This little beast has done such a big thing without me!" Thinking about this Wei Zhongxian, who is known as nine thousand nine hundred years old, what a great authority, so many adults and gentlemen in the court have not been able to get rid of him, and killed so many gentlemen in Donglin, how can he do such a thing with a small person! ”

Seeing his wife's appearance, Chen Peier sneered in her heart, she was angry and proud, angry because there were few brave people in the Liu family, and she was scared like this when she heard this, and she was proud because of her husband and now led Jiangnan scholars to tour Jiangnan, causing a sensation in China, looking around, there are few people in this world who can have this feat!
