Fu Tang paced a few steps on the corridor outside the warm room, a little incredulous, the concubine should have nothing to do with the general's mansion, why should he go against them?

I don't know where my intuition came from, Fu Tang felt that things were not so simple, "Keep checking on me, I don't think things are so simple." ”

It was not only Xiqi who stood aside and eavesdropped, but also Qiu Niang, who was also standing behind the pillar and eavesdropping.

Others don't know the relationship between the concubine and the Earl's Court, can she still not know?

Hearing all this, Xi Ji was a little puzzled, did the people in the General's Mansion also suspect that someone in the palace was targeting them everywhere?

Is the purpose of this concubine coming to the General's Mansion or to the Anguo Mansion?

On the other side, Shui Fang returned to the palace and truthfully returned the news of the disappearance of the concubine and the three of Qin Pozi.

"What! Missing! What do the people of Anguo Mansion do to eat! Can your own enemies run away? ”

Shui Fang listened to the concubine's angry words, and she didn't know how to comfort her.

"It's useless!"

The concubine walked around the dormitory a few times, and suddenly sighed, "I didn't want to use her so early, but it seems that I have to use her now." ”

"Who?"

"Your good sister, Shui Ming."

Shui Fang was shocked in her heart, her sister Guose Tianxiang, was originally prepared to honor the emperor in the Earl's Palace, but she didn't expect to be held hostage by the concubine for her own use, did she have to be sent to the General's Mansion this time?

After eating a painless reception banquet, Qingwan began to arrange accommodation for the three young ladies.

Qingwan sat on the right seat of the main hall, holding the fetal medicine that Mao Qinggang had just sent, and asked Futang who was standing below very calmly: "What other rooms are empty at home?" ”

Fu Tang held the key in his hand, glanced at several young ladies, and replied respectfully: "There was no vacancy at home, and I just cleaned up three rooms in the afternoon."

Originally, when the mansion was renovated, it was thought that the number of people in the mansion had been decided, and the little lady and concubine would wait for the general to come back before making plans.

Therefore, the house on the other side of the lake was not moved, and now that a few young ladies have entered the house, they naturally can't treat them badly.

So the Qiuyuzhai, Chunhetang, and Linfeng Xuan by the back lake were cleaned out, and each house was equipped with a maid to call the little ladies. ”

Qingwan drank the fetal pills, walked to Futang in person, took the key in Futang's hand, gave it to the hands of several little girls, and said: "The house is simple, and the basic repairs are the same, so I will distribute it to you at will." ”

So Caiying lived in Qiuyuzhai, which was closest to the Houhu Zhanqiao, while Cailan lived in Chunhetang, which was closest to the back door, and Shui Ming lived in Linfeng Xuan, which was not in front of the village and behind the store.

As the name suggests, Linfeng Xuandi is a house on high ground, and it is colder in winter, but in fact, the houses by the lake are the same, and the water vapor is sufficient, so it is a little wet and cold.

Although the house is also close to the water's edge, it happens to be a bay, so it is much warmer.

"My sisters don't dislike too few maids, do they? Even though I am the head of the house, there is only one maid by my side.

Mother Jin is in charge of the trivial matters of the inner courtyard, and Qiu Niang is in charge of the trivial matters of the outer courtyard. ”

Mother Jin and Qiu Niang each walked up to the three ladies and bowed.

"I'm one of the most afraid of loneliness and loneliness, before the three sisters enter the house, I can only pull the second lady of the Anguo Mansion as a companion every day to chat, and in the future, the younger sisters will also get up early and stay with me every morning and dusk."

As soon as Caiying and Cailan heard this work, their faces immediately showed embarrassment.

I thought that it would be too cumbersome to live farther away than others, and I had to rush to Linghuaju to chat with my mother every day.

After the entrustment, several young ladies were each moved into their own homes.

Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief, "Alas, I'm tired to death, I laughed for a long time, and my face stiffened with laughter." ”

"Madame, take a break."

Haoqing immediately helped Qingwan, and she was a little distressed when she saw her whole person soften, but she couldn't help but say: "This is to be a lady."

If you treat them like a slave, it is inevitable that people outside will hear that you are mean, and if you are too kind to them, people outside will say that you have no master and mother to be bullied. ”

Qingwan sighed, "Do I have to be like this?" With such a fake face, you accompany them every day to act? ”

"I have to do it."

What Mao Qing said made Qingwan a little loveless, so he had to pick up his pen and start writing to Wu Wen.

There is probably only one meaning in the whole article: Husband, I'm too difficult, come back and save me.

Early the next morning, Qingwan got up early and waited for a few little ladies to come to say goodbye in the main hall of Linghuaju.

An hour has passed, and no one has come, and even Mao Qing feels distressed when he looks at it.

Quietly stuffed a bun for Qingwan, "Madame took advantage of the fact that they hadn't come yet, hurry up and eat one, I'm really waiting for them to come and invite Ann to have breakfast together, you will be hungry." ”

Qingwan sat upright with a smile on her face, she was originally quite hungry, but the delay of these three people made her feel a little resentful.

She is still on a par with the three little girls, and she won't eat if they don't come to ask for peace!

After another quarter of an hour, Shui Ming came to Linghuaju to ask for peace, but just knelt outside. Mao Qing pretended to go and say to Shui Ming, and Mrs. waited for the little ladies to ask for peace and still hadn't had breakfast.

After another half an hour, Caiying and Cailan came and knelt outside.

"Sister Shuiming, come in."

When Shui Ming got up, he almost stumbled and fell, but fortunately, he didn't lose face by holding on to it.

After entering the house, Qingwan gave her a seat, let Shui Ming sit beside her, held Shui Ming's cold hand with one hand and said, "Let my sister be wronged, early in the morning, I knelt outside for so long." ”

"Where, it's the concubine who is late, and she should kneel."

"Drink a sip of tea to warm up, don't catch a cold."

Qingwan warmly comforted Shui Ming, the more she made Shui Ming feel uncomfortable, she didn't know that this was the Lin family giving them a sin, but they couldn't help it.

She sat upright with Qingwan, Qingwan looked at the book by herself, and Shui Ming could only sit and look around, at a loss.

"Lady, why don't you let Cailan Caiying's two younger sisters get up?"

Qingwan raised her eyes and glanced at Shui Ming, "If you really can't stand it, you can go and accompany them, please press late."

If you punish you, they should also punish them, if you are biased, won't it make me, the mother of the house, unable to explain? ”

Shui Ming showed an embarrassed smile, and had to listen to Qing Wan's instructions.

After a while, Qiu Niang came in from outside and handed over a post, it was the eldest lady of the Ministry of Rites who set up a plum blossom banquet at home, and asked the ladies in Beijing to go to the house to have a look.

Qiu Niang said: "This time, does the lady still want to refuse?" ”

"No, let's go, let Futang prepare a gift for me, and I will definitely go to the banquet the day after tomorrow."

Qiu Niang was taken aback, since her wife came to the capital, she had never participated in any banquet for nobles in Beijing, and some ladies simply did not invite them to the Weiyuan General's Mansion.

The people in their mansion were not only excluded from the official circle in the capital, but even their subordinates would be looked down upon when they went out to buy goods and vegetables.

Looking at Qiu Niang, who was full of emotion, Qingwan suddenly apologized: "I'm really sorry, I've wronged you these days." With such an indisputable master, I think your life will not be easy. ”

Qiu Niang took the post and immediately went out to find Futang, and at this time, it was just the right time, Qingwan asked Caiying and Cailan to get up and sit in the room inside.

"If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a circle, in the future, sisters, please look at it early, so that everyone can have a comfortable breakfast together."

Caiying didn't have anything in her heart, after all, all three of them were punished for being late, but Cailan had some resentment in her heart, she came here to be the master.

Although the background is not high, she can only be a concubine, but after all, she is the general's concubine, so her natural identity is different.

No matter how you say it, she is more decent than the head lady of ordinary people, how can she fall into the hands of such a mean lady, she will be punished every day.

Although the three of them talked about being taught, they all had different hopes and had their own thoughts when they had breakfast.

"Madam, the second lady is here, looking for you to go to the warm pavilion to listen to the book!"

Qingwan agreed, and asked the little ladies, "Do you want to listen to the book together?" ”

Cailan was very stubborn, and immediately refused: "I don't like to listen to that, so I'll go back to my room and rest first." ”

Looking at the back of her domineering departure, Qingwan smiled, it would be good if the three of them couldn't hold their breath like this.

The big mansion begs for life, and the comparison is who can bear it.

The next day, Qingwan went to the plum blossom banquet of the ceremonial house of the Ministry of Rites with the prayer post, and she wore a plain dress with only a few plum blossoms on it.

"General Weiyuan's Mansion, Mrs. Lin has arrived."

After Qingwan entered, he saw the veiled Xiqiu.

Although her face is not very good, she is a lively personality after all, and she likes this kind of banquet the most.

She pulled Qingwan to sit down together, sat on the back seat, and the two of them picked up the plum blossom tea in front of them together, looked at each other and took a sip.

The crisp smell of plum blossoms makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally, and while they are smiling, Qingwan just smells the roast venison on the table, and she feels nauseous and can't help retching.

Her actions immediately attracted the attention of the other female relatives, "This general's wife, can't there be?" ”

It's a pity to protect Qingwan and not let others touch her, but the women's relatives are talking a lot, and they can't stop it.

The little guy who suddenly reported said: "The concubine has arrived!" ”

Everyone had to stand up and salute, and Qingwan only felt that when the concubine passed by her, she dug a hard look at her body.

After welcoming the concubine, the ladies still sat in their own places and tasted plum blossom cake, plum blossom tea, and newly brewed plum blossom wine.

"Who is General Weiyuan's wife?"

As soon as Qingwan sat down, she heard the concubine Niangniang calling her, Qingjuan had to stand up and salute the concubine from afar, "The concubine is the wife of General Weiyuan, Lin, see the concubine Niangniang." ”

The concubine looked at Qingwan's haggard appearance, and her heart couldn't help but be happy.
