The stage of the Qingping Marquis Mansion is set up in a flat place like a training ground, spacious and open, and the theater is directly opposite the stage, and there is no problem at all to accommodate hundreds of people.

When Wang Xi and the others arrived, there was not a single visitor, but all the servants who served there.

Wang Xi was a little surprised.

No matter what kind of building, it is built because of the need.

Wang Xi couldn't help but ask Miss Wu Er: "Do you usually invite a lot of people in your family?" ”

Miss Wu Er nodded and said with a smile: "There are many brothers and sisters in our family, and there are many marriages, and when there are happy events, we can't sit here, and we have to go to the attic next to us to listen to the play." As he spoke, he pointed to a few small two-story attics not far away.

No wonder when the eldest princess had a birthday feast, she would take them to the attic.

Wang Xi pursed his lips and smiled, and at that time, the scene emerged, and he felt a little closer to Miss Wu Er.

Chang Ke looked at it and bit his lip.

She has been used to silence since she was a child, and she is used to observing things first and then speaking euphemistically. But during this time, she had more contact with Wang Xi, but she felt that it was more comfortable to ask directly if she was confused like Wang Xi.

Does she want to learn from Wang Xi too?

This thought flashed in her heart, and after hearing Miss Wu Er tell Wang Xi bluntly that their house is not enough, this place to watch a play is usually a martial arts arena, and when there is something at home, it will be set up as a stage, she settled down and asked 6 Ling: "Why did Mrs. Tai come over today?" Isn't it worrying about you? ”

It stands to reason that Mrs. Tai is an elder and a widow, and if she comes to pay homage to the second wife of the Marquis of Qingping, it will be out of order.

6 Ling was pampered and grew up, and she was also a person who could not say anything to others, and said with a smile: "I am the only one in my family, and if I go out, my grandmother will not even have someone to talk to at home." Every time I have a guest at the Qingping Hou Mansion, I will post to my grandmother separately and invite my grandmother to come to the house as a guest and talk to Mrs. Tai. ”

No wonder!

Chang Ke was stunned.

6 Ling continued without any words: "Fortunately, Mrs. Tai has made a post for my grandmother. Concubine Niangniang didn't know what offended the emperor, she was reprimanded by the emperor last night, not to mention, the third prince and the fifth prince were also grounded, Princess Fuyang cried so much, she didn't dare to beg the eldest princess, let the personal grandmother come to beg my grandmother to go to the eldest princess's mansion to tell the concubine Niangniang. ”

Speaking of this, she pursed her lips and said, "Concubine Niangniang is not good at this, everything is burned when it is needed." Fuyang also learned from her. She begged my grandmother, she was young, and my grandmother couldn't look at her in fear, but the trouble was that she also gave a cart of generous gifts. You say, "What would have become of my grandmother if she had taken it?"

"I had to give her back, and I had to avoid it."

6 Ling's words were dissatisfied, but it made Miss Wu Er break out in a cold sweat.

Miss Wu Er felt that 6 Ling was too unguarded, and Wang Xi was worried about whether she would be implicated if she heard such words.

"This burlesque is what you begged for by holding the arm of the second aunt," Miss Wu Er was afraid that 6 Ling would continue, so she hurriedly interrupted her and said, "Don't you say that you are not interested again?" Otherwise, even if the second aunt wants to defend you, I will go to my grandmother to sue you. ”

6 Ling made a grimace at Miss Wu Er, and obediently followed Miss Wu Er to the flower gallery where she watched the play.

Wang Xi quietly cooperated with Miss Wu Er, and said with a smile: "Only a few of us will open the gong?" “

Singing a play is not cheap, no matter who it is, this is a big deal.

Wang Xi couldn't see anything about them worthy of such attention from the Qingping Marquis Mansion.

"Of course!" Miss Wu Er smiled and said, "This is specially invited by my second aunt for Ah Ling, and I hope that she can play in our house for a day, don't be bored and go back as soon as you come." ”

6 Ling's face turned red, and she said abruptly: "Then, isn't that ignorant when I was young?" When did I run around when I grew up? ”

Miss Wu just pursed her lips and smiled.

6 Ling was embarrassed to pull people, and Chang Ke was dragged and ran to the flower gallery indifferently. Chang Ke was caught off guard and was pulled abruptly, funny and angry, and said while running with her: "You pulled the wrong person!" ”

"Fourth Sister Chang plays with me." She blushed and coquettishly with Chang Ke.

Chang Ke likes the delicate little girls the most, where can she resist, she can only shake her head and take the lead in going to the flower gallery with her.

Miss Wu Er and Wang Xi laughed and didn't say anything, Miss Wu Er was still afraid that Wang Xi would misunderstand, so she quietly explained to her: "This time our house is very grateful to Jiang Chuanbo, if he hadn't helped our family maneuver in front of the emperor, I'm afraid that this year's military salary would not be so easy to allow." So everyone in our family takes better care of Ah Ling. ”

Wang Xi frowned when he heard this.

Military salary is the foundation of the country, but after the layers are issued, there will definitely be people who will make up their minds, or even embezzle a part, but it is not a good thing to delay it from the emperor.

She shouldn't have inquired about this kind of thing, but she and Miss Wu Er didn't talk about it at first sight, and Miss Wu Er was also very honest with her, if she was still hiding, she wouldn't treat Miss Wu Er as a friend. She hurriedly said, "How can this be? Is this how your family's military pay is often like this? Or is it happening by chance? ”

Miss Wu Er was obviously very suspicious of this matter, and said: "Although there were delays in the past, most of them were in the military department or the household department, and it was the first time for the emperor here. ”

"What does the emperor mean?" Wang Xi's heart was even more anxious.

Usually the superior does this, or his subordinates make him unhappy and want to teach him a lesson; Or it's just deliberately making things difficult and wanting to change generals.

The Qingping Marquis Mansion has been guarding the northwest for so many years, and the court has not heard of any peerless famous generals, if the emperor is really dissatisfied with the Qingping Marquis Mansion, it will be a disaster for the Qingping Marquis Mansion and a disaster for the people.

Miss Wu Er's heart warmed when she saw it, and felt that she had not mistaken Wang Xi's friend, so she spoke more bluntly, and said: "The emperor thinks that the war in southern Fujian is more important, and wants our family to collect a part of the military salary and transfer half of the military salary to the dock over there in Tianjin. My grandfather thought it was okay, but he was afraid that the emperor would think that our family had a self-respecting army, so it was inevitable to hesitate, but fortunately, Jiang Chuanbo came forward and relieved our family. ”

Wang Xi was shocked.

Didn't the emperor privately transfer the money from the Tianjin Wei Dock to the maiden family of Ning Concubine, the biological mother of the Seventh Emperor?

Could it be that neither the Qingping Marquis Mansion nor Jiang Chuanbo knew about this matter?

Wang Xi pursed his lips tightly, as if in this way, he could help Chen Luo keep a secret.

Miss Wu Er mistakenly thought that she was holding grievances for the Qingping Marquis Mansion, and comforted her softly: "This kind of thing is not encountered once or twice in our family, it is good to solve it without hurting the muscles and bones, and the rest, slowly figure it out!" ”

Wang Xi's heart was in a mess.

Can't these emperors all have a priority? Isn't militaristic affairs the most important?

Also, is it because of the emperor's idea to give Concubine Ning's mother's family a private house to pay the military salary of the Marquis of Ping? Or do you really see that the Pinghou Mansion is not pleasing to the eye and want to liquidate them?

Whether it is the former or the latter, it gives Wang Xi a feeling that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings.

Where did she still have the heart to watch any burlesque?

With the intentional help of Miss Wu Er, he not only met several elders who served in the military department, but also met the backer of the Shi family, the daughter of Yu Zhongyi, a scholar of the military department and a scholar of Wuyingdian University.

Especially one of Yu Zhongyi's granddaughters, she had a very happy conversation with her, and everyone also made an appointment to go to Jiangchuan Bofu for a few days to enjoy the flowers, which can be regarded as her harvest from coming to Qingping Houfu.

As for today's birthday star, the second wife of the Wu family, Wang Xi also saw it.

She is a tall and thin woman, with an extremely thin figure, but it is not the weak willow that is touching and moving, but as tall and handsome as a pine and cypress, and her skin is a rare honey color among women, with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, she laughs boldly and brightly, with the charm of a woman, and the heroic posture of a man. Standing among so many bright or beautiful ladies, it is like standing out from the crowd, so that people will not forget it at a glance, and it is difficult to move away.

Wang Xi still remembers his exclamation at the time: "Which family's daughter is she?" ”

In her impression, whether a girl is good or not depends largely on what kind of family she was raised.

Miss Wu Er had already seen too much of such exclamations and admiration, and she didn't think so, and smiled very indifferently: "The second aunt's father is the commander of Xining Weidu, she is the only daughter in the family, she has been raised as a boy since she was a child, and she is more powerful than my second uncle in horseback archery and marching formations. Socializing and entertaining people are more exquisite than my mother. My second uncle spent a lot of effort to marry my second aunt back, and he regarded my second aunt as a treasure. ”

Speaking of this, she laughed a few times as if she remembered something, and then said: "My second uncle has become a famous ear in the northwest since then." ”

Wang Xi's eyes lit up, and in the next banquet, he thought about how to make a good impression on the second wife, and he didn't care about worrying about the military salary for a while, but happily became a guest in the Qingping Marquis Mansion for half a day.

It was Chang Ke, in order to bring a letter to Chang Yan, she took the initiative to talk to the fifth lady of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, but the second wife of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion who came with the fifth miss frowned almost invisibly, and pulled her to talk about the family routine for a long time, and asked Chang Ke if he knew who invited the little pear flower?

Chang Ke is not a dull person, listening to the words of the second wife of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, she either went over, or she didn't know, so that the second wife of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion returned in vain, and the people who left the Xiangyang Hou Mansion immediately found Wang Xi and told her about it.

Wang Xi suspected that the Marquis of Xiangyang knew about Chen Luo's post to the pear blossom class, but she felt that there was nothing to worry about.

She has been growing up since she was a child, and there are many people who vaguely want to inquire about news from her, if she is on guard, she can't live a life?

Anyway, she has ginkgo and atractylodes, green silk and red silk in her martial arts, Mama Wang inside, Wang Xi outside, and the elders who maintain her everywhere.
