In addition to Cen Yin and the little chamberlain dressed as a small servant, there was also a middle-aged Tsing Yi broker in the back.

Cen Yin is traveling in civilian clothes today, looking like an ordinary nobleman, although the Tsing Yi broker doesn't know Cen Yin's identity, but he can also see that this line of people is either rich or expensive, and he is very attentive between descriptions, even if he waits for a stick of incense, his face is still smiling.

The two sisters got out of the carriage one after the other, greeted Cen Yin, and Duanmu Fei looked at the house in front of them with great interest.

This house is located in the Golden Carp Hutong on Zhongchen Street, only forty or fifty zhang away from the mansion of the eldest princess of Anping, and the location is excellent.

Cen Yin casually instructed the Tsing Yi broker: "Take us to see this house." ”

"Yes, yes." The Tsing Yi broker replied in a loud voice, stretching out his hand to make a petition, "This son, two girls, please go this way." ”

Duanmu Fei crossed the high threshold with Cen Yin and Duanmu Jun and entered the house from the main entrance, and as soon as they entered, they saw that there were big umbrella-like trees planted on both sides of the courtyard, blocking the sunlight above them.

The Tsing Yi broker led the way in front, and he had no leisure in his mouth, and introduced: "Three, the location of this house is excellent, Zhongchen Street is the most central area of the capital, quiet in the middle of the noisy, in front of it is the mansion of the eldest princess of Anping, and the past few alleys are also inhabited by dignitaries, such as Xingwangfu, Kangjun Wangfu, Andinghou Mansion, all of which are on this street and the adjacent two streets. ”

"The previous owner of this house was Lord Li of Taichang Temple, who had just returned to his hometown half a month ago, and had left the capital to return to his hometown, so the house was sold cheaply, and the furniture in it was complete. If it weren't for Master Li leaving Beijing, it would be difficult to buy a house on this street on weekdays. ”

On the left hand side after entering the gate is the inverted seat room where the gatehouse lives, and behind the inverted seat room is the horse shed, and a disgusting smell comes to the nose.

Duanmujun looked at the stable in front of him and stopped, frowning.

The Tsing Yi broker noticed that Duanmujun's expression was a little wrong, and hurriedly said, "Girl, Lord Li's family is in a hurry, and he hasn't cleaned up this stable properly." If the girl wants to buy it, I'll find someone to clean it up for the girl. ”

Duanmujun shook his head, and was about to speak, when he heard Cen Yin's voice ringing in his ears: "This horse shed is still pushed." ”

That's right. Duanmujun naturally said: "My family can't live in this kind of dilapidated stable...... and Feipian will often come here with her sister in the future, this stable.

Duanmufei was also looking at the stable in front of him, and nodded thoughtfully. The stables were so broken, the roof was broken, and the mottled walls looked crumbling, but they were torn down and rebuilt.

The little chamberlain silently wrote it down, thinking: The overseer himself has spoken, he can be smart, and he will quickly find someone to push this stable and rebuild it. The four girls will surely be happy, and when the four girls are happy, the overseer will be happy.

Seeing that they didn't seem to be upset about this broken stable, the Tsing Yi broker secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to take them around the house.

Passing through the Hanging Flower Gate, there is the inner courtyard, there are east and west wings on both sides, and in front of it is the main house, bypassing the main house from a few small gates, and there is a backyard and a back cover room and a small garden in the back.

This is a three-entry house, not big, but the environment is quite quiet, and the layout is elegant.

They finally came to the small garden in the northwest corner of the house, which was actually less than half the size of the garden in Duanmu Mansion, but it was also a small sparrow, with pavilions, rockeries, pools, flower galleries, and so on.

Duanmujun's eyes were shining, as bright as the stars in the night sky, and he said with a smile: "This house is really good, and it is enough for me to live alone." ”

Duanmujun said while thinking in his heart: After her sister gets married, she will move here to live, and at that time, Duanmuheng should also be married, and her future younger siblings will take over. This house is close to the princess's mansion, and my sister can come here from time to time to stay for a few days in the future.

Of course, Cen Yin also heard Duanmujun's words, and his face inevitably showed a hint of surprise.

He originally thought that this house was bought by Duanmujun as a dowry, but now he knew that Duanmujun was used to live by himself, and he lived alone?

Cen Yin's long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and a touch of extremely complicated emotions flashed through his narrow eyes.

He quietly looked at Duanmu Jun's gaze, and suddenly looked away, looking at the sparkling pond in front of him, a little golden sunlight jumping happily on the water, as if sprinkled with a piece of broken gold, and the eyes of Cen Yin also seemed to be shining with broken gold.

Duanmu Fei didn't pay attention to Cen Yin, she looked down at the tip of her shoes, and sighed faintly in her heart: It seems that my sister really hasn't considered getting married at all.

Duanmu pursed her lips, a little entangled, but think about Wuyang again, Wuyang is now living in the princess's mansion and is very free, if you marry casually, it is better to be at ease alone!

That's right, she slowly chooses for her sister, she would rather lack than abuse, her sister is so good, she must marry a brother-in-law worthy of her. Duanmu thought to herself, looking like she was "heartbroken for her sister".

Duanmu Jun looked around leisurely, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

Although this house is a little old, the advantages of this "location" alone can cover all the shortcomings, at most she can find someone to repair the house again.

Thinking of repairing the house, Duanmujun thought of the hot spring Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing again, and said to Cen Yin casually: "Cen Gongzi, the hot spring Zhuangzi has been repaired last time, and my sister and I just went to see it not long ago, and we both like it very much." I also want to rebuild this house, why don't you give me another idea and see how this house needs to be rebuilt? ”

Cen Yin looked at the pond in a daze, and did not move for a while.

"Cen Gongzi ......" Duanmu Jun saw that he didn't react, and took a step closer to him.

Cen Yin moved at this time, turned his head and smiled at her, and said lightly: "I was thinking just now that I would dig this pond bigger and deeper, and it would be good to plant some lotus flowers." ”

Duanmu Jun stroked his palms and smiled: "This is a good idea, you can also raise some more carp." "My sister likes to feed the fish the most.

Yes, you can also dig lotus roots and lotus pods to eat in the summer. Duanmu Fei also thought it was a good idea, and nodded with a smile.

Cen Yin and Duanmu Jun returned the same way, and continued to talk about changing the house:

"I think this garden is a little smaller, anyway, the population of this house will be simple in the future, so I will simply push off half of the back light room and make this garden bigger."

"Also, the exterior walls around the house could be made taller."

“……”

Cen Yin casually said some things to be repaired, and the Duanmujun and Duanmufei sisters occasionally added some details, and the little attendants who followed everyone silently wrote them down.

Within half an hour, Duanmujun decided to buy the house and decisively gave a deposit.

Duanmufei was not surprised, and said in his heart: Sister is sister, and the speed of buying things is so fast! Whether it's a horse farm, a hot spring, or a house!

"Girl, you've got it right." The Tsing Yi broker nodded with a smile, his eyes narrowed, he said a bunch of nice things, and asked Duanmujun when he planned to handle the transfer.

Duanmujun has always been resolute, and after a few people left Jinli Hutong, they immediately went to Jingzhao Mansion.

Jing Zhaoyin put down other official duties at hand and completed the transfer as quickly as possible.

Later, the small house in Jinli Hutong was renamed Duanmu.

Duanmujun touched the deed in the purse, thinking that he had done another big thing today, so he felt refreshed, and said to Duanmu with a smile: "Zhenzhen, didn't you say that you want to pick jade for your piano to make goose feet?" ”

Duanmu Fei almost forgot about the goose feet, and nodded busily.

Cen Yin escorted the carriage of the two girls to Liuli Street in the south of the city, Liuli Street is a street that sells jade jewelry in Beijing, since the opening of the sea ban, in addition to the common hairpin hairpin, Yingluo, bead flower, forbidden step, hairpin crown and other jewelry in the Central Plains, there are some more Western jewelry, but to add a bit of exotic style to this street.

Cen Yin accompanied the sisters to see three shops in a row, and Duanmufei looked at at least hundreds of pieces of jade, but he still felt dissatisfied, either the quality of the jade was not good enough, or the color of the jade did not match the jade.

A shopkeeper heard that Duanmu Fei was looking for mutton fat and white jade, so he kindly persuaded two sentences:

"Girl, Hetian mutton fat white jade is the most precious kind of seed jade, even if you have silver, you may not be able to buy this kind of exquisite product."

"Besides, even if any shop has mutton fat jade, it will be polished into finished jewelry, and the girl wants jade, it's not so easy."

"If the girl has to, I'm afraid she will have to wait a while, and Rong Xiao will ask around for the girl......"

When they came out of the third shop, Duanmujun had already begun to think about sending someone to Jiangnan to look for them.

"Although the seed jade is precious, it is not nowhere to be found." Cen Yin saw her thoughts, and laughed out loud, laughing like a spring breeze.

The little chamberlain in the back thought it was true, what kind of character was the overseer, what treasure had never touched his hands, but it was just a mere seed jade.

It's true?! Duanmu Fei looked at Cen Yin with bright eyes, looking at his master expectantly like a well-behaved little milk cat, and those big eyes seemed to be able to speak.

"I'll have someone fetch it for you." Cen Yin's smile deepened, and then he raised his hand and made a gesture, and commanded a few words in the ear of the little chamberlain. The little chamberlain respectfully accepted the order and left in a hurry.

Duanmu Fei looked forward to it.

Then, she looked at Cen Yin, smiled very well-behaved, and said, "Sister, Cen Gongzi, I'm hungry." ”

Just now she was just looking at the jade, and she didn't notice that her stomach was hungry.

Cen Yin hooked his lips, the expression on his beautiful face became softer, and he raised his hand and pointed ahead and proposed, "I remember that Yunting Restaurant is nearby, let's go have some lunch first." ”

Duanmu Fei nodded again and again, as long as there is food to eat.

Yunting Restaurant was more than ten zhang away, so the three of them left the carriage and horses and walked directly and leisurely.

"Three guest officers, please!" Xiao Er enthusiastically led them up to the private seat on the second floor, "The guest officer came just in time, and there is still a private seat on the second floor." ”

Xiao Er said and came to a private seat at the entrance of the stairs, and the wooden sign next to the door was marked with three red characters: "Cedar Room".

"Squeak", Xiao Er pushed open the door of the elegant seat.

Duanmujun and Duanmufei walked into the elegant seat one after another, and they didn't notice that the door of the elegant seat opposite them also opened, and a long figure wearing a royal blue brocade robe walked out, describing handsome and tall, it was Geng Anhao.

Geng Anhui didn't expect to meet Cen Yin here at all, and looked at him for a moment, his gaze slightly condensed.

Then, he looked towards the cedars, and a slender back came into his eyes, which was so familiar and nostalgic to him.

Geng Anhao's pupils shrank, even if he didn't see the other party's face, he would never admit it, it was Duanmujun.

How could Duanmu Jun be with Cen Yin?!

Duanmujun in the private seat was talking to Duanmufei while walking towards the square table by the window, not paying attention to his back at all, and naturally he didn't see Geng Anhao.

Cen Yin, who was still in the corridor, glanced at Geng Anhao lightly, and didn't intend to greet him, so he went directly into the cedar room.

"......" Geng Anhao froze in place, only to feel that Cen Yin's eyes just now were full of provocation, his fists were tightly turned into fists on the sides of his body, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were bulging.

"Squeak", the door of the elegant seat was closed by Xiao Er, only Geng Anhao was still standing quietly in the corridor, through the somewhat thin door, Xiao Er's slightly raised voice could be faintly heard: "What do the three guest officers want to eat?" Our chef has a lot of good dishes, such as West Lake vinegar fish, braised lion's head, anchovy shrimp ......"

Geng Anhao's eyes were fixed on the closed door, staring at the wooden sign by the door with the words "between the cedars" written on it.

The bright red words were deeply reflected in his eyes, and his eyes were red. His ears were ringing, and he could no longer hear the sounds around him.

My father is right, with the current situation in the court, Duanmuxian will definitely not cooperate with the Geng family.

Thinking about it, Geng Anhao's facial features also became hideous, and the whole person seemed to be shrouded in a thick haze, and secretly swore in his heart: If what their Geng family planned came to pass, he would let Cen Yin's body be broken!

When the time comes, Duanmuxian will willingly marry Duanmujun to himself.

Geng Anhao's eyes flickered brightly and secretly, and his eyes looked at the Qinglan room in the depths of the corridor again, and the scenes that happened in the Qinglan room that day flashed in his mind, and his eyes quickly became precipitated, as if he had made up his mind.

He wanted to get Duanmu, this was the only way!

He'll be sure to treat her well.

Geng Anhui resisted the urge to push the door in and pull Duanmu away, and walked downstairs with a "kick".

Geng Anhao's stay was meaningless to the three people in the seat.

Duanmu Fei was casually gossiping with Xiao Er: "Little Second Brother, I heard what you just said is the cuisine of Suzhou and Hangzhou, could it be that your chef is from Jiangnan?" ”

Xiao Er smiled hehehe, and said with foam: "Girl, our chef is from Beijing, but when he was young, he traveled all over the country, Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Hunan cuisine...... These eight cuisines are proficient in all aspects. ”

"Whatever you want to eat, girl, just say it! Isn't it spring? Our chef said that eating some Jiangnan dishes in spring is the only way to meet the occasion. ”

"Everything recovers in spring, and it is suitable to eat 'fresh'," Duanmu said with a smile, "Zhejiang cuisine and Suzhou cuisine in Jiangnan are good." ”

Cen Yin said: "Zhejiang cuisine, Suzhou cuisine make good use of vegetables, the dishes are mostly crisp, soft and refreshing, handsome and beautiful, pay attention to maintaining the true color and true taste of the ingredients, Zhejiang cuisine in the cooking of seafood, river fresh is particularly unique, but also should be eaten 'fresh'." ”

Duanmu Fei listened to Cen Yin's words, his eyes lit up, and he accidentally chatted with Cen Yin about the major cuisines, and Xiao Er on the side stood a little embarrassed, and said in his heart: Do you still order food?

Duanmu Jun couldn't help but hook his lips, and directly asked Xiao Er to prepare a table of their chef's specialty dishes, and asked Xiao Er to quickly bring some snacks so that his sister could fill her stomach first.

Three or four plates of hot and fragrant dim sum came up, and the little chamberlain came back panting, holding a mahogany carved box in his hand, and respectfully served it to Cen Yin.

Cen Yin opened the box casually, and saw that the box was full of white flowers, all of which were mutton fat and white jade, and they were not blue or yellow, all of them were like curd white fat, which made Duanmu Fei, who was eating Dingsheng cake, almost dazzled.

She has seen mutton fat jade, and there are also mutton fat jade jewelry, but such a big box, and all of them are of the best jade, crystal clear, she has seen it for the first time.

This shouldn't be a tribute intercepted by Cen Yin, right?

Duanmu Fei couldn't help but have a thought in her heart, and then her head was empty, and she said to herself, she didn't know anything.

Cen Yin raised his hand and rummaged through the box casually, and slowly took out a jade pendant, a hosta, a jade lock, and a jade pendant...... Everything is exquisitely carved.

Duanmu Fei took those jade ornaments in his hand with great interest, and enjoyed and tasted with Duanmu one by one, and praised the crane on the jade pendant for a while......

Duanmu Fei was busy talking to Duanmu Jun, and he didn't notice that Cen Yin on the side casually glanced at the little waiter, and that look seemed to say, let you take the jade material, how did you take a bunch of "waste"!

Cold sweat oozed from the forehead of the little chamberlain, and he couldn't hold the jade material that the fourth girl wanted, and he was afraid that he would make the overseer wait for a long time, so he simply brought all the mutton fat white jade that he could find, thinking about polishing the jade pendant or something at most.

Cen Yin took out a jade cicada, a jade bracelet, and then a pair of seal stones the size of a baby's fist from the box.

Seeing that the size of the seal stone seemed to be quite appropriate, Cen Yin played with it casually and called, "Fourth girl Duanmu." ”

Duanmu Fei was talking to Duanmu Jun about the carving of the jade cicada, and his intuition answered, and he turned his head to look at him, looking stupid on his little face.

Cen Yin just looked at the little girl like this, and felt happy, and handed her the seal stone in his hand.

Duanmu was stunned, and then as if he suddenly thought of something, his eyes instantly brightened like cold stars, and his eyebrows and eyes were bent like a crescent moon with a smile.

"Master Cen, these two pieces are just the right size, and I can use them when I go back and polish them."

Duanmu Fei took the seal stone, and played with it with his eyebrows, and his hands were already itching. Everything is finally ready, and her piano should be finished this month!

"Master Cen, when my piano is ready, you must listen to me play a song......"

Duanmu Scarlet boasted about how good her piano was, only saying that it was comparable to the top ten famous pianos, and Cen Yin couldn't help but laugh and laugh when she heard it.

The three people in the room talked and laughed, until Xiao Er's messy footsteps interrupted them, and one after another delicate and delicate dishes were sent in steaming, full of color and flavor, Duanmu Fei feasted to his heart's content, and ate happily.

This trip out, the sisters are full of harvest, Duanmujun bought a house, Duanmufei got the mutton fat jade, and after that, Duanmufei was at home for a few days without going out, looking like she didn't hear anything outside the window, but the news from the outside world still inevitably came to her ears.

On the first day of the fourth month, the tablet of Emperor Chongming was personally enshrined by the emperor into the Taimiao, and he was no longer commensurate with the pseudo-emperor.

On the same day, the emperor issued an edict to hold a ceremony for Emperor Chongming in Huangjue Temple three days later.

This is the largest royal ceremony, all the civil and military officials above the third rank and their descendants have to go on that day, and there are only two times in the history of the Dasheng Dynasty for more than 100 years, and its grandeur can be seen.

"Commandment."

Duanmu Xian led the people of the Duanmu family to receive the decree at the Yimen, he carefully and carefully held the holy decree, and then got up, and was about to say a few words to Gonggong Liu, who came to deliver the decree, when he saw that Gonggong Liu's gaze directly skipped over himself, and he went to help Duanmu Fei up with a diligent face, and greeted with a smile What "the four girls are good", "The four girls are good" and the like, the affectionate tone made Duanmu Xian speechless, and there was a kind of strange sigh.

Since Cen Yin recognized his four girls as "righteous sisters", the eunuchs and servants of the twelve eunuchs in the inner court have been very polite and respectful to the four girls, far more attentive than to him.

After Gonggong Liu and Duanmu exchanged pleasantries, he remembered Duanmu Xian sluggishly, arched his hand at him with a smile, and then took a few small attendants who came to announce the decree to say goodbye.

Soon only the people of the Duanmu family were left near the Yimen, and everyone in each room had already gotten up.

Duanmuxian casually handed over the holy decree in his hand to the maid on the side, his eyes quickly swept around everyone, and then said: "This time the Dharma of Huangjue Temple, I will take the second and second daughter-in-law, Sister Wei, Brother Heng, and Sister Qi...... There are also four girls to go with. The emperor said that he would take a three-day break, and you should also bathe and fast for these three days as a sign of respect. ”

"Yes, grandfather." Duanmu Heng and several people responded one after another.

Duanmu Fei glanced at the holy decree of the colorful weaving cloud and crane pattern, and said in his heart: In fact, the emperor has not been to the court much since the beginning of the year......

Duanmu Xian's eyes were dark, as if he had something on his mind, so he didn't say anything more, waved his hand, and let everyone disperse. He took Duanmu Heng to the outer study by himself, wanting to ask his eldest grandson about his homework.

Duanmu Fei was afraid of being stopped by Duanmu Heng, so he hurriedly took Duanmu Jun and walked towards the inner courtyard.

Soon the people scattered in all directions, and returned to their own houses.

Most people didn't notice that Duanmu Yuan landed at the back of everyone, her cherry lips tightly pursed into a straight line, and her expression was indignant.

She couldn't help but look back at Duanmuxian and Duanmuheng, and then looked forward at the Duanmujun sisters who were smiling and smiling, her eyes were even more gloomy.

Why is everyone the descendant of the Duanmu family, they can all go, but only their own house can't go!

Duanmuyuan stopped, his slender figure was as tight as a bowstring, and suddenly, Duanmuqi in front of him stopped, turned his head and met Duanmuyuan's gloomy eyes.

Duanmu Yuan nodded coldly, not wanting to look at Duanmu Qi.

Duanmu Qi's eyes flashed slightly, turned around and walked to Duanmu Yuan's side, and called softly: "Third sister." ”

Duanmuyuan continued to walk forward, not wanting to pay attention to Duanmuqi, Duanmuqi still looked like a smile, walked beside Duanmuyuan like a shadow, and whispered two words in her ear.

Duanmu Yuan's face changed slightly, and he stopped again.

Duanmu Qi hooked the corners of her lips, stopped, and continued to talk to her quietly.

Before they knew it, only their two cousins were left, and the others had long since disappeared.

Duanmufei had already returned to Zhanqing Courtyard with Duanmujun.

She locked herself in the small study alone, sent Jin Se, the little starling and the little fox, burned incense with her hands, polished the ink and laid the paper herself, and then began to copy the scriptures.

When copying scriptures, Duanmufei always likes to be alone.

She was so calm and engrossed that as soon as she picked up the scriptures, she forgot the time, and all that was left in the room was the ticking of the Western clock.

Tick, tick, tick......

Time passed quietly.

The Western clock makes a monotonous "ticking" sound continuously, day after day.

Duanmufei has been copying this scripture for some time, copied to the evening of the second day of the fourth month, finally finished copying a volume, and slept beautifully until three poles in the sun, Duanmufei took the carriage to the Anping Princess's Mansion on Zhongchen Street.
