The newly moved house can't be cleaned up very neatly for a while, a few girls roughly sorted out the front and back, Suning'er was already hungry and a little croaking, Qi Shi told Shuang'er and Ying'er to go out to buy some cooked food and come back to satisfy their hunger.

There are four pavilions in this backyard, all of which are separate and not far from each other.

The main courtyard in the middle has a guest hall, a side hall, and a study, and there are two bedrooms, Suning'er thought that the Qi family would worship the Buddha and meditate on weekdays, and also worship the spiritual seat of the deceased father, and occasionally it was inevitable to meet relatives and elders, so she asked Qingchun to arrange it and leave it for her mother to live in, and she herself chose the easternmost courtyard.

She used to live in this small courtyard and was also a small jasper, and the decoration inside and outside the courtyard was extraordinarily warm and elegant, which had to make people feel that the previous owner was a woman full of taste.

There is a large space in front of the hospital, and a medicine fence is enclosed on both sides, and golden black orchids are blooming inside, adding a bit of vitality to this solemn winter atmosphere.

A few branches of plum sticking into the medicine bar are covered with the golden color, but there are a few different kinds of beauty.

Leaning on the two big trees by the pond, there is also a swing in the middle, which looks much more exquisite than the one in the Tanghua courtyard.

Qin'er, the girl, knew that Suning'er liked swings the most when she was in Tanghua Courtyard, so the house was tidied up, so she took a handkerchief to clean up the swings.

Looking at her staggering steps, Suning'er always had an indescribable sourness in her heart, on such a cold day, she naturally had no interest in sitting on the swing, and pulled Qin'er into the room quickly.

Yin Xiu didn't know where to find some charcoal, and was lighting a fire, Suning'er helped Yin Xiu light the charcoal fire, so he helped Qin'er to sit down on the edge of the charcoal fire, and said: "We just moved into this yard, and there is no need to be in such a hurry to take care of it outside, just keep it and clean it up slowly later." ”

The bedroom in the center of this small courtyard is connected to a small inner room, and on both sides there are independent dressing rooms and two side rooms where the maids rest.

Suning'er thought that Yin Xiu was more withdrawn, so she left a small side room on the edge to her, and told Qin'er and Shuang'er to live in a wing room close to her bedroom.

After arranging these, Shuang'er and Ying'er had already bought them, and they also found a coachman to bring some charcoal and fresh fruits and vegetables.

Although these girls are rarely responsible for the purchase of living materials in the Su Mansion, they are now independent, but they are also very clever, they only need to hand over the money to them, and all aspects are very thoughtful, and they don't need to worry about Suning'er and Qi at all.

After filling her stomach and having strength, Suning'er inspected the house again, many of the furniture in the yard were brand new, as if they had been repurchased, and some of the small daily necessities that were missing were brought over by the slaves from Tanghua Courtyard, so that when they got together, there was no shortage for a while.

Suning'er didn't know how long she could live in this new house, so she didn't want to spend too much effort to tidy up the house, thinking that the song she was going to compose for the palace would have to be handed over to the matchmaker in the next two days, so she told Shuang'er to set up her piano in the wing room, and compose a new song in the room all afternoon.

......

Just after noon, an old woman in red silk clothes slowly followed the servant into the palace at the door of the Sixteen Princes' Mansion Qingwang's Mansion, and went directly into the backyard.

There was a graceful middle-aged woman sitting in the middle of the hall, and when the old woman saw the middle-aged woman, she first bowed respectfully, and bowed her head and said, "The slave family respectfully invites the concubine to be kind." ”

This middle-aged woman was Concubine Qin, the biological mother of King Qing, and she glanced at the old woman carefully, with a gentle smile on her face, and instructed the maid beside her to serve tea to the old woman.

After the old woman sat down, Concubine Qin held the teacup, muttered for a while, and said slowly: "I invited Yu Hongniang to come over today, not for anything else, but because I wanted Yu Hongniang to go to the Su family for Qingwangfu and withdraw from the family affairs of the two families." ”

Before Yu Hongniang could take a sip of tea, she saw Concubine Qin's straightforward explanation of her intentions, and after a moment of surprise, she said with some embarrassment: "Again, will you retreat again?" ”

Concubine Qin pursed her lips and nodded heavily: "This fact of marriage is not appropriate, I have thought about it carefully, and I still think that I should find another in-law for my family's thirteen langs." ”

Yu Hongniang's face immediately showed a strong bitterness: "It's not a secret, before the concubine was summoned, the Su family sent someone to the cold house to inform the slave family, saying that he wanted to discuss the levy with your mansion." ”

"Recruitment?" , Concubine Qin smiled sarcastically: "This Tian Shelang still has the heart to think about this matter, I heard that Su Yilang brought an aunt back from Yangzhou, and the main room in the house went to make a big fuss about it, and the whole Chang'an City was in an uproar." ”

Yu Hongniang carefully examined Concubine Qin and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that Concubine Qin wants to withdraw from her family because of this matter?" ”

"Hmph", Concubine Qin looked solemn, opened the teacup and took a sip of warm tea, and said angrily: "If it's just because of this matter, then the Su family is really not a good family, the behavior of the head of the family and the housewife, and the small ones are all foxes, not harmonious inside, and constantly wrong outside, how can such a family marry my Qingwang Mansion." ”

Yu Hongniang heard it clearly, and when she raised her eyes to look at Concubine Qin again, she was already red-faced, and hurriedly got up to salute, not daring to stay any longer: "The concubine's meaning is that the slave family will definitely bring it to the Su family." ”

Concubine Qin's face tightened, her emotions were one after another, seeing that Yu Hongniang was leaving, she suppressed the anger in her heart, and told her: "Don't worry, Hongniang, you have worked hard for my Qingwangfu, and my Qingwangfu will not treat you badly." ”

As she spoke, she gestured to the maid on the side, and saw the maid walking up to Yu Hongniang with the tray in three steps and two steps.

Concubine Qin said again: "Please accept these silver coins from the matchmaker, and be sure to handle the matter cleanly and thoroughly." ”

Yu Hongniang hesitantly took the money, shook her body respectfully again, and turned away with a heavy face.

I just went out of the room, but I saw a handsome man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes.

"The slave family has seen His Royal Highness King Qing."

Yu Hongniang saluted the man in a panic, didn't dare to say a word, bypassed him and hurriedly left.

The handsome man covered his mouth and coughed lightly, seeing that the old woman was in such a hurry, he had a bad premonition at the moment, and walked straight to Concubine Qin's side, hurriedly made a salute, and hurriedly asked: "Erchen heard that Su Yilang has returned from Yangzhou, and the mother concubine summoned the matchmaker into the mansion but is ready to discuss the matter of accepting the levy?" ”

Concubine Qin's eyes narrowed slightly, a gentle smile appeared on her face for a moment, she stood up and helped King Qing to sit down on the seat next to her, and said unhurriedly: "Thirteen Lang is not well, he shouldn't come out and walk around, just keep it in the house." ”

"The retainer is fine", King Qing was so anxious that he hurriedly interrupted her words and asked, "When is the concubine going to send someone to the Su family to discuss the matter of levy?" ”

Concubine Qin slowly retracted her smile, calmly walked back to the chair and sat down, thinking for a long time, and then replied truthfully: "Wei Niang has already asked Yu Hongniang to go to Su Mansion to withdraw this family business." ”
