There was a lot of noise at the gate, and their carriage stopped outside the east corner gate and waited for nearly a cup of tea before being welcomed into the house by the two porters.

Duanmujun in the carriage frowned, and was about to ask what had happened, when he heard a hysterical cry from the direction of Yimen:

"Master, master, are you okay?!"

"Father is so ruthless!"

"How...... How did it beat you up like this?! ”

The voice was so sharp that it almost tore through the eardrums, and even if they didn't look at it, they knew that the owner of the voice was the third lady Tang.

The carriage soon came to a halt, and the maid came over to help the three girls get out of the carriage in turn.

Duanmu Fei glanced in the direction where the voice came from, and saw that Duanmu was supported by two mothers-in-law with big shoulders and round waists on a sedan chair, his face was pale, his hair was loose, and even his clothes were a little messy, shouting and screaming "It hurts".

Tang's, Duanmuyuan, Duanmuxuan and other people in the three rooms were nervously gathered around Duanmuchao's side, and several people cried and shouted, turning into a pot of porridge.

Tang nervously pulled his voice and admonished: "Be careful, be careful!" Don't hurt you, sir! ”

Duanmu Yuan pinched a handkerchief and sobbed, his pretty face turned pale, and he shouted: "Father." She cried so much that she was raining.

"Where's the doctor?" Duanmuxuan nervously instructed a grandmother beside him, "Has the doctor invited you?" ”

"I've already gone to ask for ......"

In the chaos, Duanmu and the sedan chair were carried away by several servants, and the cries of several people in the third room also disappeared......

What the hell is going on here?!

Duanmujun, Duanmufei and Hanxing looked at each other in surprise.

The subordinates of the surrounding porters were whispering to each other, but when their eyes looked over, the subordinates were silent again, as if they were afraid of being blamed by their master.

Duanmujun was not in a hurry to ask, and took his two younger sisters back to Zhanqing Courtyard first, and then asked people to find Mama Zhang.

There was also a little fox who entered the east room with Mama Zhang, and the little fox rubbed on the side of Duanmufei's skirt, and then flexibly jumped to Duanmufei's knee and lay on his stomach obediently.

"Mama Zhang, what happened to the third uncle?" Duanmujun asked straight to the point.

Mama Zhang's face was a little complicated, she glanced at Hanxing, and thought: Although this matter is a family ugly, the fourth princess is not an outsider, and this matter cannot be hidden, I am afraid that it will be spread to the whole capital tomorrow.

Mama Zhang sorted out her thoughts and said, "Big girl, the old lady personally went to the Ministry of Officials today to resign from the third master. ”

Duanmu raised his eyebrows, not surprised, yesterday his grandfather mentioned that he wanted Duanmu to resign.

Mama Zhang continued: "The third master left the place without authorization, and the officials have already taken the fame of the third master, and he will not be appointed for life in the future, and he also flogged the third master in public with 30 boards and fined 5,000 taels of silver to set an example." Before the afternoon, someone from the Ministry came to pull the third master to flog, and he was just sent back. ”

Duanmu Fei slowly touched the little fox on his lap, knowing that the third uncle Duanmu Qi had hit the tip of the gun this time.

Grandfather Duanmu Xian has never been a selfless and upright person, if the Duanmu period is not in time for today's "sensitive" period, Duanmu Xian will probably help this son fool the past, but the timing is not good.

The eldest prince Mu Youxian has just returned to Beijing, and Duanmu Xian is worried at the moment, for fear of making a mistake.

Especially now that the lesson of the Chengen Mansion is in front of him, Duanmu Xian is not only secretly happy, but also secretly vigilant that he must not repeat the mistakes of the Chengen Mansion.

During this period of time, Duanmu Xian would mumble to Duanmu from time to time, so Duanmu Fei knew Duanmu Xian's mind best.

Now that the third uncle Duanmu has suddenly returned to Beijing in such a hurry, it is easy to be used as a handle to attack the Duanmu family, rather than harming the entire Duanmu family, Duanmu Xian would rather be ruthless and remove this handle himself.

Duanmu Xian took the initiative to accuse and let Duanmu resign, and he should be punished, which is the best choice now.

Duanmu Xian has always been so decisive in doing things, otherwise he would not have been able to sit in the high position of the head of the hall by himself.

"I'm afraid the third uncle is still dreaming of being promoted." Han Xing wrinkled his little face and said, "If you sneak back like him, you can still be promoted and make a fortune, what is the difference between this and the Cheng'en Mansion that relies on the four princes to jump up and down?!" ”

Even the simplest Han Xing, yesterday he could see that Duanmu Xian was very dissatisfied with Duanmu Period's unauthorized return to Beijing.

Duanmujun slowly brushed off the floating leaves on the tea soup with the tea lid, and said lightly: "I'm afraid that the third uncle can't understand his grandfather's intentions, and thinks that his grandfather deliberately wants to force them to death." ”

Although the flogging is a bit heavy, it is not to the point of dying or living, looking at the way they cry and shout at the Yimen, I am afraid that they will make trouble!

Mama Zhang smiled and said mockingly: "Big girl, you guessed right. The third lady was making a fuss over there, saying that the old lady was going to force the third room to a dead end regardless of the relationship between father and son, and the third lady also said that the whole family would hang themselves together. ”

These three ladies have been gone for more than four years, and they really haven't grown at all, and they still cry, make trouble, and hang themselves at every turn.

Mama Zhang shook her head in disagreement, "The slave and maid are estimated to have made trouble in the past few days, and the third lady also said that she would go back to her mother's house to find someone to call the shots!" ”

The three little girls are just listening to the fun.

Half of Han Xing's attention had already shifted to the little fox on Duanmu Fei's knees, Duanmu Fei looked funny, and hugged the little fox to Han Xing.

Han Xing touched the little fox's supple white hair, again and again, satisfied, and muttered casually: "The third uncle and the third aunt have just come back, and they are so noisy, and I don't know what they are confused about." ”

Hanxing said that he had no intention, but Duanmu Fei was the listener's intention.

Duanmu picked up the blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand and squinted thoughtfully.

Speaking of which, the timing of the third uncle's return to Beijing during the Duanmu period was too coincidental, as if he came back just in time after the eldest prince.

Duanmu Fei slowly brought the teacup to his lips, wondering if he should remind his grandfather.

However, with my grandfather's current way of disposing of it, no matter whether he reminds him or not, there shouldn't be anything wrong.

Truly! Duanmu Xian can be regarded as resolute this time, and the day after Duanmu returned to Beijing, he went to the Ministry of Officials to do everything, and even took the initiative to take out a fine of 5,000 taels of silver, and publicly stated that Duanmu Period was sick and returned to Beijing, so he would be sent to Zhuangzi to recuperate.

In this way, even the last handle is blocked.

Regardless of whether anyone scolds Duanmu Xian for being cunning behind his back, at least there is no leakage on the surface.

As a result, Duanmu was immediately sent to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing to "recuperate".

And the third lady Tang was also frightened by Duanmu Xian's series of actions, and she and her children circled around the house like headless flies.

"Brother Xuan, Sister Yuan, even your father was sent to Zhuangzi by your grandfather, and your grandfather's heart is too ruthless!"

"What to do? Will your grandfather send me to the temple or Taoist temple to practice? ”

"No, I can't sit still. Sister Yuan, you better go back to Tang's house for a while to avoid the limelight. I finally came back from that ghost place in Ru County, and I don't want to go to Zhuangzi and the temple to suffer anymore! ”

"You see, how many gray hairs have I had on my head in the past few years! No, Sister Yuan, you should go back to the Tang family with me to live. ”

Tang said that she would leave, and she took her daughter back to her parents' house that day, wanting to avoid the limelight.

The people in the whole house looked at the third old man and his wife, who had just come back and left two days later, and they were confused.

In just one day, Duanmu Mansion returned to calm.

Duanmu secretly praised: Grandfather has always been so decisive in doing things.

She didn't have time to think about this, and the next morning, Duanmujun took her out, and only after getting into the carriage did she know that they were going to the Anping Eldest Princess's Mansion to complain.

They didn't come out of the princess's mansion until lunch, and then Duanmufei went to Fengfu in a carriage alone.

Duanmufei's arrival made the Fengfu explode.

The porter's mother-in-law hurriedly ran to Mrs. Feng: "Mrs. Tai, the fourth girl of Duanmu asks to see you." ”

Mrs. Feng, who was sitting on the Luohan bed, heard this, and the teacup in her hand almost didn't slip, she was startled at first, and then the corners of her lips curled slightly.

Sure enough, Duanmu Fei really came!

Originally, Feng Congyan and Song Wan'er were kicked out of the palace yesterday, and Mrs. Feng was quite nervous, for fear that something would go wrong, but now it seems that Duanmu Fei is still afraid after all.

Also, no matter what I say, I am also Feng Yan's grandmother, and filial piety is greater than the sky.

Since Duanmu Fei is the future Feng woman, she has to respect her elders a little bit, and she has to be taken care of by herself!

Mrs. Feng slowly took two sips of hot tea, and said with a shelf: "Go and welcome the fourth girl of Duanmu in." Then, she instructed the eldest maid beside her, "Go and invite the eldest girl and the cousin." ”

The porter and the eldest maid hurriedly received the order and retreated in a hurry.

After nearly two teas, a handsome little girl in Tsing Yi came with Duanmu Fei.

Mrs. Feng looked Duanmu Fei up and down with a critical gaze, today Duanmu Fei wore a scarlet hibiscus entwined branch flower carved silk gown, below is a pink thread long skirt, a black and dense green silk pulled a double bun, and a pair of beaded flowers embedded with rubies on her head, bright and dazzling rubies lined her big eyes as bright and clear as stars, looking forward to falling generous.

The fourteen-year-old girl already faintly has the delicate curves unique to a girl, blooming like a delicate flower.

Duanmu Fei walked up to Mrs. Feng and bowed slightly to her with a smile: "Mrs. Feng." ”

The corners of Mrs. Feng's mouth stiffened, and she pinched the rosewood Buddha beads in her hand.

The little girl of the Duanmu family didn't even salute when she saw the elders, this is too unruly!

Also, Duanmu's family is just a poor family, and even the mud on his legs has not been washed, so what kind of table can the girl who taught him go on!

Hey, she has a good grandson, but she has to be matched with such an unruly girl, that is, there is Cen Yin's way!

Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with a little girl.

Mrs. Feng said lightly: "Fourth girl Duanmu, sit down and talk." ”

At the same time, the maid of the Fengfu hurriedly served tea and snacks to Duanmufei, and then bowed his head and retreated to the side.

There was silence in the hall.

In a three-legged incense burner with a blue and white glaze in the corner, wisps of green smoke are rising in the air, and the faint fragrance of smoke fills the air, peaceful and quiet.

Duanmu picked up the teacup calmly and tasted the tea slowly.

This Pu'er tea is good, and it is the most suitable to drink this fermented tea in autumn to nourish yang energy.

This should be a twenty-year-old Pu'er tea bar, which is well preserved, and this incense should be the ten pins of incense from Jiangnan Pinxiangtang, and this family still has some taste.

Duanmu sipping tea carefully, calmly and leisurely, as if she was in her own home.

Silence spread in the air, and the room was so quiet that a pin could be heard.

The maids seemed to feel the tense atmosphere, and they were silent one by one.

The silence lasted for nearly a cup of tea, but Mrs. Feng couldn't bear it anymore first, she pretended to take a sip of tea, and asked, "Fourth Miss Duanmu, I don't know what happened to your visit today?" ”

Duanmufei put down the teacup, smiled slightly, and said, "Mrs. Feng, I'm just here to ask for peace, and I'm about to leave." ”

"......" Mrs. Feng couldn't figure it out all of a sudden, and slowly twisted the string of Buddhist beads in her hand.

She was about to speak, when the voice of the maid came from outside the curtain: "Madam, eldest girl, cousin girl." ”

Immediately afterwards, the door curtain was raised from the other side, and three shadows rushed in, and Feng Congyan and Song Wan'er, who walked in the front, followed by Feng Congyan and Song Wan'er.

Mrs. Feng took the opportunity to change her words: "It's rare for the fourth girl of Duanmu to come, so let's sit for a while." ”

The Jiang family, Feng Congyan and Song Wan'er walked to the Luohan bed, first saluted Mrs. Feng, and then gave Duanmu a salute:

"Fourth girl Duanmu."

"Sister."

Duanmu Scarlet drank tea by himself, neither looking at the three of them, nor paying attention to them.

Her ignorant appearance made Feng Congyan and Song Wan'er's faces slightly stiff, but Jiang Shi still smiled lightly, and she quietly pulled Song Wan'er's sleeve.

"Sister." Song Wan'er took half a step forward and smiled at Duanmu Fei, "I heard Cousin Yan say that my sister is not only good-natured, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is a well-known talented woman in the capital. Although I am only a little learned, I am quite interested in the piano path. ”

She is not very beautiful, but her skin is particularly fair and delicate, as moist and smooth as white porcelain, when she smiles slightly, it is like the white magnolia on the branch trembling slightly in the wind, soft and refined, not aggressive, which makes people feel good when they look at it.

Duanmu Fei didn't speak, and Feng Congyan helped to pick it up: "Cousin, it's rare that the fourth girl of Duanmu is here, I think it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, you can simply ask the fourth girl of Duanmu for advice." ”

"Then I'll be ugly." Song Wan'er smiled, and hurriedly instructed the maid to fetch her piano, and then said to Duanmu Fei, "Sister, I recently got a remnant score by chance, and it took me a few months to complete it. ”

"Cousin, don't be modest, in my opinion, your song "Lotus Wind" has been perfected......"

Seeing the two cousins singing and talking for a long time, Duanmu Fei calmly put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Mrs. Feng waited for Duanmu Fei's words, and she smiled, laughing so much that the corners of her eyes were squeezed together. She tried her best to make a friendly and kind appearance, and said in a loving tone: "Duanmu Fourth Girl, my granddaughter grew up with Ah Yan's childhood sweetheart, and the two of them are also in love with each other and ......."

When Mrs. Feng said this, Song Wan'er half-lowered her eyes, her long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and a faint flush appeared on her delicate skin like white porcelain.

Mrs. Feng glanced at Song Wan'er, and her disc-like old face was quite embarrassed and emotional, "The Feng family and the Song family are in-laws, and they know the roots. The emperor said that this holy decree for marriage is naturally not to be disobeyed," Mrs. Feng sighed helplessly, and her tone became softer, "I think about it, it's better to let Wan'er give Ah Yan a second room, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds." ”

"Wan'er has been a well-behaved and obedient person since she was a child, with a soft temperament, and will never cross the girl."

With Mrs. Feng's words and sentences, Song Wan'er's head hung lower, the flush spread from her cheeks to the roots of her ears, and a pair of plain hands clutched the handkerchief in her hands tightly, and even her fingertips were red.

The eyes of the others present were all focused on her, their eyes burning.
