Surrounded by a group of maids into the Hou Mansion, walking in for a long time, you will see a well-carved pavilion and pavilion come into view, and there are artificial ponds surrounded by water, mountains and rivers interspersed, very magnificent and luxurious.

After staying in Su Mansion for so long, she already felt that the Su family could be regarded as a large mansion and villa, and almost occupied an alley in the southwest corner of Guangdefang.

However, now she realized that she was lonely and unheard, and the Su family was only from a merchant family after all, and she was not the richest man like the Tao family.

The Ye family of Shangshu Mansion controls the financial lifeline of a country, and if you want to seek some personal gains, I am afraid that it will be easy to come by in such a dynasty.

Before, she had also heard Li Wanwan mention that now the right to operate salt and iron has been taken over from the local government to the imperial court, but I don't know if it has anything to do with the household department?

Just thinking about these messy things, I heard a delicate voice ringing in my ears: "Yiniang, Yiniang." ”

Suning'er hurriedly looked over, only to see Ye Erniang leading two personal maids to hurriedly greet her.

Her clothes in the house were very different from those she had seen on the court that day, with a light red shirt and a pair of swords, looking particularly radiant.

Ye Erniang held her hand affectionately, and when she raised her eyes to look at her, she was still full of awe.

He glanced casually at the brocade in the hands of the slaves, and although the color was very gorgeous and bright, it did not attract much attention from her.

The servants in the courtyard came and went, and they all looked very hurried.

It was the first time for Suning'er to enter such a dignitary's house, and she didn't know the situation in the house on weekdays, so she was a little curious, but she didn't dare to ask more.

Ye Erniangying said with a smile: "The night before yesterday, there was an urgent report from Cangzhou, saying that there was a thief, and my father was urgently summoned to the palace last night to discuss the matter of counterinsurgency. ”

Suning'er replied with a smile: "It doesn't matter." ”

"Hehe", Ye Erniang happily pulled her arm tighter, not at all:

"I invited the fifth sister of the Cui family to enter the house with Wan Niang, but such a disaster happened in Cui Mansion, Wan Niang also had no intention of coming to the meeting, and sent someone yesterday, saying that he was going to be at home for the Cui family's father and brother Dai Xiao, and the slave family was also afraid of wronging a mother to come alone, I wanted to change the date, but my father felt that the first time I was invited to enter the house, I couldn't be so lazy, and the slave family missed a mother very much, so I still invited a mother to come over according to the previous agreement, and a mother should not be blamed."

Seeing that she explained so carefully, Suning'er replied with sincere fear: "Erniang's words are serious, Erniang and Ling Zun put themselves in the shoes of the slave family, and the slave family is very frightened. ”

"Ha, a mother is full of talent, and has a marriage contract with King Qing, to be able to appreciate the face and meet the stupid person of the slave family, the slave family is extremely honored, and you should be thoughtful, if you provoke a mother, His Royal Highness King Qing will blame if he knows it, and the slave family will be uneasy in the future."

When Su Ning'er heard her mention King Qing, her heart couldn't help but feel hot.

Thinking about the polo field two days ago, she didn't know what the relationship between the Ye family and the Qingwang Mansion was.

The women of other families are all vying to get another look at King Qing, but this Ye Erniang is willing to be the green leaf between her and King Qing.

It's incredible.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and before they knew it, they had entered the inner courtyard, and the surroundings became much cleaner.

Ye Erniang suddenly seemed to think of something, and hurriedly asked her: "I heard that Uncle Yiniang returned to Jiangnan a while ago?" ”

Su Ning'er nodded: "For some business matters, the slave family actually doesn't know much about this." ”

"I'm afraid this counterinsurgency is going to last for a while, and the envoys from all over the country are praying for the household department to allocate funds to purchase additional ordnance and horses, and the imperial court just ordered to purchase more Turkic war horses for the Shence Army a while ago, and now there is such a disaster, and the Su family is also in the supply book, and your uncle is afraid that he will have to work for a while."

"Well, it's a pity that we're just daughters, and we don't have much talent, so we can only pray that this disaster will end soon."

Suning'er said this, and there was a faint worry in her heart.

After all, this era is not as good as the heyday, and if the treasury is sufficient, it will be enough; If not, it will be these rich businessmen who will suffer.

"It's just a small turmoil, it can't make much waves, now the national strength is sufficient, and there are countless capable ministers, how can we worry about this", Ye Erniang said with a smile:

"But Yiniang is a good blessing, that day on the court to see your eldest lady treat you so kindly, although there is less Ling Zun's company, but there are such elders in the house who care about you, it is really gratifying."

Suning'er just smiled bitterly when she heard this.

After all, I don't have a deep friendship with her, and I can't explain a lot of sadness to her, and I just know the sourness and warmth.

Entering the wing, Ye Erniang hurriedly invited her to take a seat, and asked the servant to bring up the refreshments prepared in advance, and said with a smile: "I heard Wan Niang say that Yi Niang loves Jingyun Zhai's 'Crisp Mountain' very much, and the chef in the house happened to make this dim sum very well, Yi Niang might as well taste it quickly." ”

Su Ning'er looked at her earnest eyes, she was really meticulous, and she even inquired about her favorite food so clearly, she was really flattered, and hurriedly took a piece, and while tasting it, she casually looked at the furnishings in the room.

The whole wing room is very elegantly arranged, and the murals pasted everywhere, regardless of the figures, flowers and birds, all appear lifelike, as if they are presented in front of you.

Inadvertently, her eyes were on the pages of poetry scattered around the bed.

The whole room was neatly tidy, except for the one that looked a little messy.

Ye Erniang also discovered this, hurriedly went up and took the pages of poetry and put it on the table, and said a little shyly: "The slave family of the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Club liked Yiniang's poem very much when they saw it, and they had to copy it several times every day. ”

Sun Ning'er fixed her eyes and saw that the poem on the homepage was neatly written in italics, "Don't ask where the infatuation goes, and there is no lovesickness and no fate".

Before she could answer, Ye Erniang rushed to the side of the bed and got a delicate box.

opened the box with a smile, and the enthusiasm in his eyes was real: "Haha, the slave family also prepared a gift for Yiniang." ”

Su Ning'er looked at it carefully, but it was a pair of extremely delicate brushes.

"If it is about gold and silver jewelry, Yiniang has the imperial gift of a saint, and it is not uncommon for the slave family to move a gold mountain to Yiniang", Ye Erniang glanced at her again with a determined look:

"But this Xuanbi is only afraid that the sage uses the imperial pen is not as good as this pair of Zihao, this pair of Zihao is still when the father was an official in Xuanzhou, Xuanzhou City pen everyone personally gifted, how many literati can be proud of using this Xuanpen, but it is a pity that everyone has already retired, this pair of Zihao has become the masterwork of the old man, the slave family has been treasured for many years, and today I finally met the master who deserves to enjoy this pen."

"Ah, how can the slave family afford such a heavy gift."

Suning'er looked surprised.

That Zihao is precious, but she didn't expect her to value herself so much.

But she is not a literati or calligrapher, and she feels that a mountain of gold is more real in comparison.
