Chapter Eighty-Five: Preparing for the Feast

When Qingyun and tortoiseshell went to Yun'er's lower room, they were told by the maid on duty that Yun'er had been taken home by her brother.

"What can I do? That Liu Dalang is a frivolous person, if it is, oops, then how should it be. ”

The tortoiseshell stamped her foot in a hurry.

"Let's tell the girl."

According to the current situation, I can only tell the master as soon as possible.

"Don't alarm the master, let's go talk to Xianglan."

None of them were waiting in Shujingyuan, and if they suddenly met, others would definitely be suspicious.

"It's fine."

The two of them stopped a maid named Xianglan at the gate of Shujing Temple, and within half a moment, they saw her come out.

"You two little slippery heads, what are you doing here all of a sudden?"

Xianglan still has something to do, and it's too late to catch up with them.

"Oh, Yun'er was taken away by Liu Dalang."

"Oh yes." Xianglan pondered.

Qingyun and tortoiseshell waited anxiously for her to speak.

Xianglan said leisurely: "The girl already knew, and before she could be discharged from the hospital, she intercepted them." In a few words, Liu Pozi was bluffed away. ”

"That's great."

Xianglan left a sentence before leaving. "See Yun'er, don't mention it."

sent the two away, and Xianglan was guarded by the girl's side.

Yun Zhao was talking to Fu Tinglan, Xia Qiniang and others.

She smiled: "Looking at the handwriting written by Tinglan in her spare time today, I think it is better than what Mr. wrote." ”

"Miss Fu is a tireless and good student, and I think she has grown a lot better than a few days ago." Xia Qiniang smiled slightly.

While Ting Lan and Xia Qi Niang were laughing, Yun Zhao quietly asked, "You just went to see those two girls?" ”

Xianglan whispered: "They are just worried about Yun'er. I told them that I had already asked Mrs. Liu to go back. ”

"Who is she not good to choose, she takes a fancy to Yun'er, rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, why don't they even have a taboo?" Yun Zhao couldn't help but say with disdain.

Xianglan said: "Yes, the Liu family is a fire pit, and Yun'er can't be allowed to suffer that crime anymore." ”

"I have to think about a long-term reason, what I want is that Mrs. Liu will not be allowed to enter the hospital in the future."

Mrs. Liu once beat Yun'er in front of her because she was young and weak, and kept saying that she would discipline her subordinates. The ancient maidservants were all managed by the master when they went to the master's house, and even their biological parents did not have a share of the quarrel. These bullies who are afraid of the hard are too eyeless, and they don't care anymore that there is no royal law in this house.

"What did the jade girl say?"

"Ah, Xianglan and I are talking about Yun'er."

Ting Lan smiled: "It's the girl with a rouge mark on her forehead." ”

"Yes, that's her." Granny Xia smiled.

"That girl has a good appearance, a good temperament, and some style in her words. Xu is a good jade girl, and everyone in Shujing Courtyard is neat. "Tinglan is rarely praised.

Yun Zhao smiled faintly: "Yun'er has been a docile since she was a child, I don't need to say a word, she can do anything well." ”

Xia Qiniang watched Yun'er grow up, she naturally knew how the Liu family's mother and son treated her, but she just disdained to say it in front of outsiders. She only praised Yun'er for being a good girl, and so on.

Fu Tinglan only thought that something had happened to the maid, so she was not very worried.

Qi Niang remembered that today was the first day of the seventh month, so she said: "It's July, and the old lady's birthday will be in a few days." In previous years, it was not carefully organized, should it be held this year? ”

She is now the housekeeper of Yiyuan, and the keys and tokens are in her hands, so she naturally wants to fight for Mrs. Tai's face.

"Birthday feast."

Yun Zhao suddenly remembered that it seemed that he hadn't done it for five or six years. The home is becoming more and more deserted, and every year is not as good as a year. You can't see Xiao Shu outside, and you can't see decency inside. The situation in Yiyuan is not good, and it is overstretched to hold a birthday banquet for Feng Zhan, so where will the money come from to make that empty banquet.

"yes, it's better to move to the mansion to do it."

"I think it's the same as in previous years, and there is no spare money in the park. I asked Yun'er to calculate, if the money on the books is used tightly, it is enough to turn over. But if it is extravagant, I am afraid that I will lose a lot. "Zhao Zhao said truthfully.

Xia Qiniang also thought of it, "The old lady's birthday is only once a year, so you might as well move it from the public school." ”

She said that some of the family wealth left by her grandfather was transferred to her grandmother for her birthday, but those were left by her grandfather and could not be used unless it was urgent.

"I'm afraid it won't work. The rules can't be broken. ”

The money saved is never allowed to be used privately, that is a rule that has been set a long time ago. Xia Qiniang now wants to raise her eyebrows and give the old lady a handful, but if a precedent is set, this borrowing, that one asking, the money will be empty in a few days.

Xia Qiniang had no choice but to give up, "Yes." ”

Yun Zhao didn't want to refute her face, so he said: "The Xiao family still collects our money, which should be enough." ”

Xia Qiniang was overjoyed and said, "Yes, yes, I will send someone to Xiao Shilang's mansion immediately." ”

This Xiao Shilang seems to be a little familiar. Yun Zhao suddenly remembered that Xiao's adoptive father was Xiao Bozhou. So he asked: "This Xiao Shilang, is it Xiao Bo and Zhou Xiao Shilang?" ”

"Yes, girl, have you forgotten? He also came to Yiyuan to visit the Duke of Jin. ”

She remembered that this Xiao Bozhou seemed to be an old acquaintance of her maternal grandfather, but she hadn't been in touch for too many years, and she didn't remember those things very well.

"Oh, I don't quite remember."

Fu Tinglan smiled happily: "Why did you even forget the people of the Xiao family? ”

"Does my sister know him?"

"I don't associate with them, but it's a friendship that we've made in the world."

Yun Zhao didn't know about the old world friends, and he didn't want to know. No amount of friendship is worth a good lintel. Instead of making those unreliable relatives and friends, it is better to compete for something really bright.

"Well, it's been too long for me to remember."

Time has passed, and personnel have long been different.

"I begged for a gift in front of the girls, and bothered the two girls to copy a volume of the Taiping Sutra for the old lady's birthday."

Wan Zhao smiled: "This is the right thing, we must copy it carefully." ”

Fu Tinglan is dedicated to cultivating, and for her, copying the "Taiping Sutra" is just a gesture.

One person is awarded to the crown prince, one person is awarded to the concubine, the crown prince and the concubine are seated, sacrificing wine, lifting wine, and the food is each followed by the liver, and the division is entered by the void and laid in the fence.

The chef washed the knight, drank wine, and drank again, and the crown prince and concubine were all drunk. Three-hundred The crown prince and concubine stand behind the banquet, and the priest descends to the east step, washes the knight, ascends, and drinks outdoors, and the north side lays the knight, Xing, and worships again.

The chef played the "thorough". Si Zeqian knelt down and said: "Si Ze's concubine's surname is Yan, please let His Highness in." "The crown prince entered the east room, released the crown dress, and wore hakama pleats. Si Zeqi concubine entered the house, and the crown prince entered the house. The dishes of the crown prince, the dishes of the imperial concubine.
