Chapter 436: Chess is one move

Hengshudian is the largest pawnshop of the Mu family in Beijing, and there are nobles to entertain on weekdays, which is naturally cleaned up exquisitely, and Qin Siyue (Longxi) is seated, Hua Li personally served the tea cup up, and Mu Huang said: "The small shop is narrow, there is no good tea for a while, and the women have sent people to buy, and Chitose is reluctant to take this throat moistening." ”

"You're welcome, Mrs. Gu. Qin Siyue (Long Xi) took the teacup and took a sip, "This is very good!"

After a long and short gossip for a while, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) looked at Hua Li and praised: "It's difficult for you to help your mother and brother take care of the family business at a young age." ”

Hua Li said humbly: "It's the duty of the people's daughter." ”

"You should have ...... this year" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) nodded her finger and asked Mu Huang, "Seventeen?"

Mu Huang responded with the word "yes".

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) asked casually, "Mrs. Gu can look at others?"

Hua Li blushed with shame, and when he was about to retreat, it was inconvenient to retreat, so he lowered his head and said nothing.

Mu Huang could only reply: "I am also looking at each other, Xu is fate has not arrived, and there is no one who agrees." ”

"Such an excellent child should be carefully selected. Qin Siyue (Long Xi) put down the teacup, "It's not that I prefer my own family, the son of the official eunuch of the family, Bufan is considered to be a subordinate to the top, and he is the nephew of his aunt's wife, and he is quite old, so he didn't think about it." ”

Mu Huang opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "Bufan is a good child, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the people's women to climb high." ”

"These are the words of the outward. Qin Siyue (Long Xi) didn't seem to pay attention to the eagerness in the eyes of the Mu family's mother and daughter, picked up the fan and said, "It's hotter this summer, and I'm sweating when I breathe." ”

Mu Huang hurriedly asked the maid to add ice basins, and the topic turned to Tianshi clothing.

Sitting for half an hour, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) didn't mention the matter of marriage until she got up and left, Mu Huang was anxious, and there was no way to do it.

Not to mention how Mu Huang's mother and daughter figured out Qin Siyue (Long Xi)'s thoughts, Zhong Rui's family also welcomed a distinguished guest that night.

Zhong Rui and his wife were also decent, and recently they have regained their favor, and there is also a little girl at home to serve, opened the door and saw Xia Lian, and asked curiously: "Who are you looking for?"

Xia Lian reported her name and surname, and the little girl went to report that Zhong Rui was not at home, Zhong Rui's daughter-in-law was shocked and afraid, and rushed out to see the main owner, and hurriedly scolded the girl to welcome Xia Lian into the main room.

The maid in front of Qin Siyue (Long Xi) is more decent than the four chief managers of the Shenlong General's Mansion, how dare Zhong Rui's family be lazy, serving tea and ice, lest the hospitality be inadequate.

"Auntie doesn't have to be busy. Xia Lian motioned, "Sit!"

Zhong Rui's daughter-in-law was worried: "How did the girl come here at such a late hour?"

Xia Lian smiled: "Our master has two words I want to discuss with my aunt, and it is inconvenient during the day, so I can only choose to come at night!"

Zhong Rui's daughter-in-law was so frightened that her true soul came out of her shell, and immediately knelt on the ground: "The master has an order, and the slave goes to the fire, how can there be a little discount, where can he afford the word 'consultation'." ”

"It's me who misworded. Xia Lian smiled slightly, "Auntie, hurry up." ”

Zhong Rui's daughter-in-law was still apprehensive, and sat next to the chair for half a corner.

After gossiping for a moment about things that don't matter, Xia Lian cut to the chase: "The day when Aunt Mu will go on the road is set." ”

"Don't dare to lie to the girl. Zhong Rui's daughter-in-law replied honestly, "It's too ...... The second wife couldn't wait, so she urged the slave to start early. ”

"Hmm. Xia Lian nodded, "Aunt Mu really deserves to die." ”

Zhong Rui's daughter-in-law just wanted to agree, but Xia Lian's words changed: "But it is still useful for our master to keep her, it is really embarrassing!"

"This ......" Zhong Rui's daughter-in-law had a headache.

Xia Lian asked unhurriedly: "I heard that the eldest mother has a son who is on an errand in the house, and he was expelled because of a drunken accident, and there is still no dispatch, does the eldest mother have any plans?"

Zhong Rui's daughter-in-law has always been tactful, how can she not understand the truth when she hears this, she gritted her teeth and agreed: "Please ask the girl to play the princess and grandmother, the slave must understand." ”

The master must be relieved when he learns. Xia Lian lowered her eyes and said, "The Shenlong General's Mansion still lacks a leader of the Imperial Village in Beijing, if the eldest lady does not dislike the difference, Mr. Lin will arrange the ......."

Zhong Rui's family was overjoyed, and knelt down and kowtowed upwards again: "Grandma's kindness is as deep as the sea, and the slave is grateful!"

Before leaving, Xia Lian suddenly stopped when she walked to the door: "There is another matter that I have to ask my aunt to help me with which idea." ”

Zhong Rui's family said busily: "The girl just said." ”

"Although our master is a painstaking man, the third master and the second girl don't know, the master is not good at publicizing and annoying the second wife, and he doesn't want to show merit to them in private, and the slave doesn't want the master to be kind and backsliding, can the eldest mother teach me how to do it?" To put it bluntly, Xia Lian wanted the Meijun sisters and brothers to know that Aunt Mu's life was protected by Qin Siyue (Long Xi), and she didn't want to run to declare it by herself, so she simply handed over the problem to Zhong Rui and his wife.

"This is easy!" Zhong Rui's daughter-in-law was full of words, "Don't worry, girl, this matter can only be handled by the slave." ”

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) and Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) and Gu Kui sisters each have their own in Jinghuangzhuang, it is not difficult to find the boundary where Aunt Mu is placed, Gu Bu is not difficult to use many means to inquire about the whereabouts of the birth mother, when she has already died, thanks to a companion named Qian Hua and Zhong Rui's son, the set of drunk words to know that the mother is a cousin-in-law, and the heart is a little calmer.

Another day, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) took two boys to Rongqing Hall to say goodbye, and halfway through, I heard that Gu Lao Taijun went to Cheng'en Mansion early in the morning, and was about to go to the upper room, but when he saw that it was not difficult for Gu Chen to come out of the study, he stood on the side of the road with his hands to say hello.

After Gu Ming and Gu Ying saluted, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) asked, "I was called by the old men to take the school examination?"

No, Brahman replied with a "yes".

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) nodded: "Go ahead!"

Gu Bu said suddenly: "The dim sum that my sister-in-law rewarded the day before yesterday tasted very good, my brother Houqin, can I ask you for some more?"

Qin Siyue (Longxi) is particular about diet, and there are often novel dishes to share in each room, but it is not difficult to taste it, but everything sent to the second room will be considered the end of the Huang family, and nine and a half times out of ten will be sent to the Bufan room.

Bufan didn't understand the trick inside, and also said to Qin Siyue (Long Xi): "Let's go together, I like the 'lotus crisp a little clear', it tastes very smooth." ”

"Second uncle!" Gu Chen intercepted, "I read a small mountain word yesterday, and there are two sentences that I don't quite understand, and I want to ask you for some advice." ”

Bufan didn't care: "Later, you can take the book to my courtyard." ”

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) said with a smile: "It's still important to do learning, but two kinds of snacks, I'll teach someone to send them to you." ”

Bufan had no choice but to respond.

Miss Gongzi, who is mixed in the mansion of the public family, can more or less be immersed in some inner house ghosts, and when they grow up, even if they have snow satin character, they will also hang ink dots.

Of course, there are exceptions...... For example, not Brahman.

In the previous dynasty, there was an anonymous writer who wrote a satirical "Journey to the West" that was handed down, among which the interpretation of Shamen is the most interesting: Rulai Buddha's maternal uncle swallowed the population of a country without being punished, and returned to the West Heaven in peace; Guanyin Bodhisattva rescued the goldfish essence that had caused countless evils, and exterminated all the creatures in a river with his magic power; Tang Seng who was full of compassion blamed the monkey for killing, but he was glad that the place where the crime occurred was in the wilderness and did not have to suffer a lawsuit...... It really depicts the theme of slandering monks and slandering the Tao to the extreme.

Gu Lao Taijun and the Huang family both believe in Buddhism, but they believe in the Buddha and Bodhisattva in "Journey to the West". This is understandable, but Gu Bufan has been raised into a white lotus, although he has an adult body, his scheming is worse than Gu Mao, for example, now, it is not difficult for Gu Bufan to say that he has a point, but Bufan really cares about a literal meaning, if it is not for Gu Chen's help, Gu Bufan will have to teach him to make bad calculations.

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) instructed Chunlan to send Gu Ming's brothers and sons to Rongxi Hall, and then asked, "What do you have to tell me?"

"Sister-in-law. Gu Bu was not difficult to get straight to the point, "Auntie is there now?"

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was surprised, looked Gu up and down, and said, "Ridiculous! Which one is chewing his tongue in front of you?"

"Sister-in-law, why hide it from me. Gu Bu smiled bitterly, "My brother just doesn't understand, why do you want to help your aunt." ”

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) bowed slightly: "I misjudged you!"

Gu Bu owed his body: "My brother doesn't dare." ”

"Your aunt really deserves to die!" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) hung the fan upside down, "I didn't want to meddle in things, but after careful investigation, I turned out her accusations, because this article caused you and the second girl to lose their mother, although it was unintentional, it was difficult to feel at ease after all." ”

Gu Bu said hurriedly: "Since my sister-in-law is willing to do good, why don't you send the Buddha to the West Heaven?"

"Good is not necessarily good!" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) said lightly, "I want to take a look, you can support the lintel of the second room as Changbai said." ”

As far as Qin Siyue (Long Xi) is concerned, it is not difficult to teach her to put it in her eyes, and the reason why she saved Aunt Mu as a meat ticket is the same as keeping Ma Daopo.

The vague thought of hesitation immediately became firm after Qin Siyue (Long Xi) knew that Dan Qi was pregnant again.

Today's Concubine Gu is in the limelight in the East Palace: second only to the crown princess, the cousin of the prime minister, the maternal uncle of the governor Yungui, and the aunt of the rich family...... plus the royal grandson under his knees, the crown princess's mother and son only have a name.

Waiting for Queen Shi to send away the palace people who were rewarded, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) smiled slightly: "I also taught me to win the jackpot and go back to report the good news, which is also a great merit." ”

"In the early years, the crown princess wanted Cong'er to recognize you as her mother, I said it was ridiculous, and the prince was dismissed, but now it seems ......" Queen Shi looked at Qin Siyue (Long Xi), "What do you mean?"

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) shook her head: "The Gu family only recognizes the emperor, regardless of relatives, and asks the imperial uncle to investigate in detail." ”

"We believe in your character. Empress Shi sighed, "But after all, you are the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, if you are not clear and righteous, how can you rely on the four words of righteousness to abandon your grandson? ”

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) pondered for a moment and said: "Yongzong was barely able to afford it when he was the grandson, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him to become the prince and emperor the next day?"

Queen Shi had a headache: "Xuan'er is slightly older, it's good that Brother Mao is a girl!"

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) said in her heart: My daughter's mother-in-law must not be a person like the crown princess.

Gu Xuan is older than the grandson and holds the gold bricks, Gu Mao and the age difference between the lord of the East Palace is only three years old, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) originally had plans to set a princess for the second son, but she turned her face with the princess later, even if she still has the heart, Yonglin and his wife still have to weigh whether the little padded jacket will be abused by the "evil mother-in-law"......

The queen asked tentatively, "Do you want to go to the East Palace to have a look?" ”

"Okay" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) agreed very happily.

Queen Shi believed that her expression at the moment must not be described in words, so she hurriedly sent the little palace maid to follow her to visit Xin'er.

In terms of etiquette, the hostess of the East Palace is the crown princess, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) did not deliberately bypass her, and showed impatience without waiting for the tea cup to be served: "I just heard that Concubine Gu is pregnant, I came to see her at the behest of the master, is it convenient now?"

The crown princess didn't dare to say much, and personally led Qin Siyue (Long Xi) to Danqi's courtyard.

Dan Qi didn't expect her sister-in-law to give face like this, even in front of the crown princess, the excitement on her face still couldn't be suppressed, and she asked the palace maid to come out with Jin Yan to ask her aunt for peace.

"You're pregnant, you don't have to be busy!" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) shook her fan and said, "If the old lady knows, she may like it, your brother said that it will be the birthday of the emperor and grandson in a few days, and discussed with Brother Kui'er to prepare a gift, but he added good news, and he should come to break the bank." ”

Dan Qi smiled: "Run'er is young, how can he be worthy of the love of his brother and sister-in-law." ”

"The flesh and blood of the family, there is no need to go outside!" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) asked again, "But what do you want to eat? I taught them to make it and send it personally." ”

Dan Qi hurriedly said: "I haven't changed my taste yet, I must tell my sister-in-law when I think about it." ”

Sending food to the palace is easy to teach people with intentions to plot, even if it is okay, Dan Qi is still unwilling to tell the truth.

"Hmm!" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) also knew the reason, just mentioned it, nodded and said, "The eighth day of the first month is the birthday of the emperor's grandson, so I asked my master Niangniang to move the day of the visit of my relatives for a few days, what do you think?"

Danqi's face was full of joy: "Sister-in-law couldn't be more thoughtful!"

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) glanced at Nian'en: "After I go back, I will transfer your parents and family to the name of Zheng Guofu, you have worked hard in the palace, I will reward them as appropriate, the head of the Earl's Mansion has not yet been decided, and teach your brother to fill the vacancy, what do you think?"

Nian En hurriedly kowtowed: "The princess and grandmother are higher than the sky, and the slaves and maids are loyal and sacrificed, and they will never be repaid!"

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) nodded with a smile: "Get up." ”

The crown princess was pale, and she vaguely knew that Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was "Xiang Zhuang Dancing Sword Blade Pointing Pei Gong".

Dan Qi secretly rejoiced: Sister-in-law's move is very meaningful, although she controls Nian'en in her own hands, it also indirectly shows that she has the idea of supporting herself, and she is talking about a confidant, even if she wants her to surrender in person, it is a rare long-cherished wish.

A woman's heart is a needle, and Princess Chaoyun's mind is not something that a mere concubine in the East Palace can guess.

Nian En came in with a strange look to deliver the news: "Master, the eldest grandmother met the prince and grandson at the door, and took the grandson out of the palace by the way." ”

Dan Qi seemed to have been beaten with a stick, and couldn't help muttering, "What does she mean by this?"

Leaving Yongzong in the princess's mansion and instructing Gu Kui and Gu Mao to accompany him, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) went to Rongxi Hall to return the news of Danqi's pregnancy to Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang is a little worried: this is going to have another boy, and there will be two palaces in the second room.

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) said again: "I took the grandson to the princess's mansion, and I will go over to stay for a few days, and I want you to keep an eye on it at home." ”

There is a capable daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang feels that it is in vain to worry too much, and after hearing this, she smiled and said, "You can rest assured." ”

Dan Qi is pregnant with the dragon grandson again, Gu Lao Taijun and the Huang family hate to tell the world, Mrs. Zhang is about to postpone the date of the invitation and the two of them know, Gu Lao Taijun is undiminished: "The princess is thoughtful, and the birthday gift of the emperor and grandson is ready." ”

Mrs. Zhang looked at Sister Qing and said, "There will be a report in the inner court in the past two days, you are ready, and then set a reward for the old lady!"

Sister Qing agreed, and asked her mother-in-law: "Do you want to tell your relatives to know?"

"That's not necessary!" Mrs. Zhang thought for a while, "Now that it is public, the master of the palace, Xu Jue, is frivolous, but he is burdened with the side concubines." ”

Even if the Huang family was dissatisfied, she couldn't say anything, and Sister Qing didn't mention it.

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) has a lot of complaints about his wife's move to bring the imperial grandson to the family if he has something to do, to a certain extent, the Shenlong General's Mansion is a potential opponent of Yongzong, in case he has a good deal in the Gu family's territory, who can afford to pay for it?

"Yonglin is not worried, why should you worry about the sky?" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) had a bright and upright expression.

The crown prince may not be worried, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) bumped into the two of them at the gate of the East Palace, and asked Yongzong on a whim: "Recently, the palace has had a heat stroke, would you like to stay in your aunt's house for two days?"

Yongzong was willing, and turned his head to look at the crown prince.

Yonglin hesitated slightly, and when he saw Qin Siyue (Long Xi) pulling his legs and leaving, he reluctantly instructed his son: "Listen to your aunt, don't miss your homework." ”

It's certain that you will miss your homework. The exchanges between the Daqing Dynasty and the West are becoming more and more frequent, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) wants to fight with the Yi people, how to know yourself and know your opponent, recently collected a lot of idle books left in the old years to read, and it is understandable that you can't bear it, and you can only endure it with two children, after all, there is a psychology of being a role model, and some boring can only endure it.

In fact, from Emperor Taizong to Emperor Yongtai to the prince of the East Palace, there is no one who has not worked Western studies, Yongzong is still younger, and the concept of right and wrong has not yet been finalized, so Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was able to be his enlightenment master.

I was going to take this opportunity to hide from Qingjing, but before the arrival of Qixi Festival, Sister Qing went to the princess's mansion to ask Qin Siyue (Long Xi) for permission to take care of Gu Lian's affairs.

According to common sense, no matter how long Princess Yun's hand stretches, she can't catch the uncle's house.
