345 acquaintances
Zhang Wenche thought so, and said with a smile: "Cen Gongzi, there is a small lake and a back mountain behind this Zhuangzi, there is a bamboo forest on the mountain, if you have nothing to do, go to pick some wild bamboo shoots and mushrooms, catch some fish, and also have a lot of leisure." ”
Duanmu's scarlet eyes brightened, and he suddenly made several dishes with wild bamboo shoots, wild mushrooms, fresh fish and eggs, such as stewed fish head soup with wild bamboo shoots and mushrooms and tofu, porridge with mushroom fish fillets, cold sesame bamboo shoots, and fish soup with hot spring egg nests...... Everything is delicious and delicious.
It seems that my sister likes this Zhuangzi very much. Duanmu Jun has been observing every expression of his sister, and the smile on his bright face is even stronger.
However, as she got up, she suddenly slipped on her feet......
Duanmujun stumbled under her feet, her body shook slightly, and in the next moment, she felt that her right arm was tight, Cen Yin quickly raised her hand and grabbed her right upper arm, helped her, and let go of her hand.
Duanmujun turned his head and smiled gratefully at Cen Yin, his smile was bright and moving, and he was generous.
The two looked at each other, Cen Yin's long and thick eyelashes trembled twice like cicada wings, and then he raised his eyes to look at Duanmu who was playing with water in front of him.
"Boom, la......" Duanmu Fei happily flirted twice with his fingers in the pool water.
Duanmujun also looked at his sister, frowned slightly, and thought: The edge of this hot spring pool is too slippery, what if my sister falls carefully?
Cen Yin seemed to know what she was thinking, and casually proposed: "The edge of the pool is slippery, just lay some pebbles." ”
"That's a good idea!" Duanmujun's eyes lit up, his brows furrowed, and he stroked his palms, "Pebbles are not only beautiful and elegant, but also non-slip." ”
Well, if you want to renovate the bath, you might as well move the yard a little.
Duanmujun said with great interest: "Gongzi Cen, I think the courtyard outside the bath is a little empty, how about planting a small piece of gold-inlaid jade bamboo in the courtyard, which is lush all year round." ”
As he spoke, Duanmu Jun and Cen Yin walked out of the bath one after the other.
Cen Yin pointed to a certain location and said: "You can also build a small pavilion here, and after soaking in the hot springs, you can come out to blow the wind, enjoy the bamboo, and want to come to be comfortable." ”
Duanmujun nodded frequently, his eyes shining. Not bad, my sister will definitely like it, or Lord Cen is thoughtful!
Duanmufei also walked out of the bathroom after him, looking at Cen Yin and Duanmujun chatting quite in front of him, and suddenly he had the feeling of not being able to speak at all in the carriage.
Forget it, it's good that my sister is happy. Duanmu's scarlet soul flew into the sky and followed behind the two.
"Three, let's go and have a look at the back."
Seeing that Cen Yin and the three of them were quite satisfied, Zhang Wenche breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and continued to take them to wander around the Zhuangzi.
Duanmujun's interest became more and more high, and the more he looked at this Zhuangzi, the more he felt good, and from time to time he communicated with Cen Yin about how to rearrange this Zhuangzi:
"Gongzi Cen, I see that there is something missing by this pond, and I have to put another Taihu Lake stone, just right."
"This old tree has luxuriant branches and thick branches, just right for a swing."
"It would be nice if there was another well in this village, and you could ice some melons and fruits in the summer......"
“……”
Talking and laughing, a group of people along a bluestone brick path out of Zhuangzi, then see a piece of front suddenly opened, right front is a large clear lake, and the side of the emerald green bamboo forest contrast, bright and beautiful.
The only downside is that the ground was a little muddy after the rain last night.
Between the steps, the muddy muddy water splashed up, and a little mud stain stained on the red skirt of Duanmu, which looked shocking.
Cen Yin frowned slightly, and said, "Duanmu girl, this place is a little muddy, just use sand to spread it again." ”
"In the future, when we come to play in Zhuangzi, Zhen Zhen can take Feipian here to walk the horses." Duanmu Jun smiled even brighter, and his bright and delicate face was even more gorgeous and moving than the red plum in winter.
She looked at Cen Yin with burning eyes, and only felt that Cen Yin was too thoughtful and careful.
Cen Yin seemed to be burned by that look, looked away, and took a few steps forward casually, and said with a smile: "The scenery here is good. ”
yes, that's great! Duanmu Jun looked around sympathetically, and his heart was quite entangled.
She looked around the Zhuangzi just now and felt very satisfied.
This Zhuangzi is really good, the location is good, and it is just right to use it as a dowry for my sister, but if I miss this time, I'm afraid there will be no next time.
But the problem is that after buying the horse farm last time, she didn't have much money to use, and she probably couldn't afford such a good Zhuangzi......
You can't take credit if you don't have money, right?!
"Miss Duanmu, what do you think of this Zhuangzi?" Zhang Wenche looked at Duanmu Jun with a smile on his face and asked.
Duanmu Jun didn't go around in circles, and asked straightforwardly: "Second Master Zhang, dare to ask how much this Zhuangzi is worth?" ”
Zhang Wenche breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he and Mrs. Zhang had already discussed the price, so he said directly: "Five thousand taels." "That's almost half the market price. If Cen Yin hadn't said "buy", he would actually prefer to give it.
The hot spring Zhuangzi in the capital area is limited, and basically belongs to those clans, nobles and families, and they are almost not sold, which can be said to be hard to find.
Being able to buy a hot spring village with five thousand taels of silver is really hard to find.
Duanmujun's mind flickered, calculated the cash available at hand, hooked his lips and smiled, smiling very happily.
That's enough!
But then, she frowned slightly, the price was too cheap...... Shouldn't it be levied by the imperial court like Qixia Racecourse?
After thinking about it, Duanmujun asked cautiously: "Second Master Zhang, dare to ask why your mansion sold this Zhuangzi and sold it so cheaply?" ”
"......" Zhang Wenche's face was slightly stiff, and he subconsciously glanced at Cen Yin on the side with the corner of his eye, Cen Yin still looked light and breezy, and was talking and laughing with Duanmu Fei, as if he didn't intend to interfere at all.
Zhang Wenche had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "It's not a secret, it's something urgent at home, and I urgently need cash." ”
Hearing him say vaguely, Duanmujun not only did not feel at ease, but became more and more vigilant, and asked again: "This Zhuangzi will not be expropriated by the government, right?" "If it is expropriated, won't my sister's dowry be less?
"......" Cen Yin was stunned, and also thought of the matter of perching on the horse farm, put his right fist to his lips, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
Zhang Wenche's expression was a little strange, and he felt a little indescribable for a while: With Cen Yin, which government "dares" to expropriate your family's things? !
Zhang Wenche took a deep breath and could only promise: "The girl is too worried, my Zhang family is ......" He wanted to say that the Zhang family was upright, but thinking about what the eldest brother did, he couldn't say it anymore, so he changed his words, "If the girl is not at ease, we can add one more piece to the deed paper, and we will not let the girl suffer." ”
The other party repeatedly reassured Duanmujun and nodded in response: "Then it's a word." I bought this Zhuangzi. ”
"Miss Duanmu, when we go back, we will go to Jingzhao Mansion to transfer the household." Zhang Wenche sighed in his heart while proposing: No wonder my father said that it is not easy to "give" gifts.
From beginning to end, Duanmufei didn't intervene, and the deal was already done.
Well, I'll have one more place to play in the future. Duanmu thought to himself.
Duanmujun answered again, turned his head to Duanmufei and said, "Zhenzhen, after the transfer, pack up this Zhuangzi, and we will live for a few more days." ”
Duanmu's scarlet eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to respond. It's getting colder and colder lately, so it's nice to be able to soak in the hot springs!
Zhang Wenche's heart finally let go, and said with a smile: "Two girls, the furniture and furnishings in this village can be sent to two of them together." ”
"Thank you, Second Master Zhang." Duanmujun thanked the other party overjoyed, and thought in her heart: In this way, it will be enough for her to buy a few more people. Then, slowly repair.
Let's fix it according to what I just discussed with Lord Cen Du!
Duanmu Jun made up his mind in his heart, his eyes were shining, and he looked at Cen Yin gratefully, with a bright smile. It's really thanks to Lord Cen that she wouldn't have had time to get the dowry for her sister.
Since the business was negotiated, the four of them did not stay in the Zhuangzi for a long time, and embarked on the way home non-stop.
When they came to the north city gate, it was about the beginning of noon, the sun was hanging, it was the warmest time of the day, according to reason, there should not be many people in and out of the city at this time, and the sunrise and sunset were the most crowded times near the city gate, but today's north city gate was very congested, and the people who came in and out lined up inside and outside the city gate.
Zhang Wenche saw it from a distance, and glanced at a small guy beside him, who immediately understood, and waved the horsewhip on the horse's hip, "snap", and the horse under the crotch ran faster.
After the little servant went to the city gate to investigate, he soon came back, and said back to Zhang Wenche: "Second master, there is a market at the north city gate today, and there are more people and traders in and out, and I happened to meet the lord of the Baichuan clan and several noble girls who had just returned from a trip and wanted to enter the city, so the city gate guards stopped the others first, saying that they wanted to let those noble girls enter the city. ”
Zhang Wenche hesitated, and he didn't know whether to stop and wait for the Roland County Lord in front of him to enter the city.
However, he didn't have time to ask Cen Yin for advice, and he had already seen Cen Yin's carriage heading towards the city gate without stopping. Zhang Wenche didn't dare to delay and hurried to follow.
One of the city gate guards frowned and stepped forward, but when he saw the driver of the car shaking his waist card casually, the city gate guard was startled and respectfully stepped aside.
These insignificant little people, even if they don't know the emperor's jade seal, they won't fail to know the waist card of Dongchang.
The carriage shuttled through the city gate in a majestic manner, and drove forward without stopping for a moment, which inevitably attracted several noble ladies such as the lord of Roland to look in the direction of the carriage.
Among the seven or eight girls, there is also a white-faced and beardless middle-aged waiter, who is Wen Yongju.
Since Wen Yongju returned to Beijing, he was transferred to the capital governor under the excuse that he was not used, and he was sent by the eunuch of the capital governor to accompany these nobles to play around the capital and open the way.
Although Wen Yongju didn't know the carriage, he knew the little scorpion next to Cen Yin, and when he saw that the person pulling the carriage was a little scorpion, he knew who the person in the carriage was.
No matter how much dissatisfaction he had with Cen Yin in his heart, now that the situation is stronger than others, Wen Yongju has always been able to bend and stretch, and immediately bowed his head to the carriage, and asked An with a smile: "Lord Cen Governor." In his heart, he cursed Cen Yin's ancestors for eighteen generations.
He thought that Cen Yin would at least stop the carriage to look at him, but he didn't want to, the carriage didn't stop at all, it galloped directly past him, bringing a gust of wind, blowing his robe slightly, and the dust was billowing ......
On Wen Yongju's half-drooping face, his face became even more gloomy, standing still in place like a stone sculpture.
"Who's that?!"
Ahead, the lord of Roland, dressed in a rose-red embroidered rabbit fur riding costume and riding on a red horse, asked in a somewhat stiff Dasheng in a somewhat stiff Da Sheng language.
Wen Yongju took a step forward and explained to the county lord of Roland on the horse with a smile: "County lord, in that carriage is the eunuch of the dignified master of ceremonies and the eunuch of the seal and the superintendent of the East Factory, and he is one of the best figures in my Dasheng Dynasty...... Please also ask the county lord Haihan one or two. ”
The county lord of Roland raised his chin slightly, looked at the carriage in the distance, and said proudly: "It's just a mere eunuch, dare to be so disrespectful to me, the county lord of the imperial court!" As she spoke, she waved the whip in her hand, and it made a sharp sound in the air.
The guards at the gates didn't squint at each other, but they didn't hear anything.
Several Dasheng nobles around were also riding on horses, looking at each other, no one dared to echo this "bold" county lord, and the atmosphere around them became a little delicate.
Among the several noble women, a figure wearing a primrose-colored cloak also looked at the blue-covered carriage speeding away for a moment, and her eyes were a little dazed.
No one else may have seen it, but Geng Tinglian saw it, and the moment the carriage passed by her, a gust of wind lifted the curtain slightly......
She thought she could see Cen Yin, but she didn't expect that what she saw was Duanmujun's familiar side face.
Cen Yin, is he also in the carriage?
Geng Tinglian subconsciously pinched the horse rope in her hand, and her dark eyes became darker and darker, as if the bottomless deep sea.
A few days ago, she casually mentioned to her father, saying that she seemed to have seen Cen Yin somewhere before, and soon after, her father came to her and asked her to recall whether she had seen Cen Yin when she was a child in the north.
The North is a strange place to her, she doesn't remember the events of more than ten years ago, and even forgot that she had been to the North Border, but after her father mentioned it, she tried to think about it, and only then did she vaguely remember that she seemed to have seen a very beautiful boy and a beautiful woman, it seemed to be a very beautiful mother and son, beautiful like a painting.
The woman kindly took her to her lap and fed her a candy ......
The memory was so hazy that she almost suspected it was just a dream.
Because her father asked her about the north, she remembered the king of Zhenbei, Xue Qiyuan, and later, she secretly tested her mother behind her father's back, and learned that she had indeed gone to the Zhenbei Wangfu in the north with her parents when she was a child.
The king of Zhenbei is a traitor who supports his own army and intends to rebel!
Geng Tinglian bit her lower lip unconsciously, and her face turned slightly pale. At that time, she suspected that her father would ask her like this, probably because he suspected that Cen Yin had a relationship with Xue Qiyuan, the king of Zhenbei.
She didn't know if she was going to remind Cen Yin, she had been hesitant these days......
Could it be that the person she really had when she was a child was really Cen Yin?
Then why doesn't Cen Yin remember her?!
Why are you so good to the sisters of the Duanmu family?!
Thinking about it, Geng Tinglian felt a cramp in her heart, and looked ahead in a daze, a little distracted.
"Miss Geng."
A familiar female voice rang in her ears, which made her wake up suddenly, and she reflexively followed the sound.
A woman wrapped in a lilac cloak rode a horse to Geng Tinglian's side, it was a young woman of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a beautiful appearance, her black hair combed into a neat bun, and a red gold and ruby tassel hairpin was inserted on her head, and three strings of tassels swayed slightly on her cheeks, making her extremely graceful and beautiful.
Geng Tinglian smiled at the young woman, and called out unkindly: "Second princess." ”
That young woman was none other than Chu Qingyu.
The queen asked a few nobles to accompany the nobles of the Luolan County Lord, the Yuzhen County Lord and other tribal nobles to play in the capital, and Chu Qingyu also came under the pretext of sharing the worries of the queen mother. Of course, her purpose was not because of filial piety, but because she wanted to take this opportunity to get in touch with them and win over these tribes for the second prince.
"Miss Geng, I think the girl is a little tired, but she is not feeling well?" Chu Qingyu asked with concern, his eyes flashing slightly.
Seeing Geng Tinglian looking at Cen Yin's carriage in a daze just now, Chu Qingyu's heart suddenly moved, she remembered that the Geng family and Cen Yin had a fierce conflict in the previous life, so this life will not be an exception...... Maybe she can try to get in touch with the Geng family.
"Thank you for your concern." Geng Tinglian smiled again, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes, "I'm just thinking that it's still early, where can I take a few more county lords and county lords to play." ”
For these princes and princesses, Geng Tinglian had already been advised by her parents to let her maintain a relationship with them.
With the transcendent status of the Patriotic Mansion, there is no need to rush to stand in line when the prince is seizing the throne.
Besides, spring and autumn are in full bloom today.
The lord of Roland in front heard the conversation between Geng Tinglian and Chu Qingyu, and interjected in a blunt Dasheng language: "Miss Geng, I heard that the opera troupe in the capital is very interesting, why don't you take us to take a look." ”
The county lords of several other tribes have always looked forward to the lord of Roland County, and they are busy echoing one after another.
Wen Yongju came over and said with a smile: "Lord Roland, the second princess, Miss Geng, you have already opened the road, let's go into the city." We know that there is a good troupe in Beijing, why don't we bring a few over to take a look? ”
Ahead, the idle people inside and outside the city gate were driven to both sides of the road by those city gate guards, those soldiers were ten steps and one post, and the north street inside the city gate in front was empty, and there was no one in the middle of the street.
"Don't hurry up and lead the way ahead!" The lord of Roland said proudly, and as soon as he clamped the horse's belly, the horse galloped towards the city.
Wen Yongju smiled and only agreed, turned over on his horse, and followed.
Seeing that this Gonggong Wen, who used to be in charge of the imperial horse supervisor, became like this, Chu Qingyu's expression became more and more complicated.
Cen Yin is too terrifying, and his means are all over the world!
Thinking back to his previous life, Chu Qingyu's pupils shrank sharply, and his eyes were dark and dark.
Cen Yin is a sharp blade, if she and the second prince can't win him over, it is better to destroy it altogether!
kills two birds with one stone, and she can also use this in exchange for friendship with Geng Hai, the Duke of Weiguo......
If Cen Yin is finished, then Geng Hai will not go on the old path of the first life, with the holy favor of the Weiguo Mansion, he will definitely be able to help the second prince go to the next level!
Thinking about it, Chu Qingyu's lips pursed into a straight line, and his expression gradually became resolute.
Since she is married to the second prince, there is no turning back, she has to think about it.
She must make Feng Yan regret not choosing her!
In this life, Feng Yan doesn't want to go to the clouds again!
"Smack!"
The horsewhip in Chu Qingyu's hand was thrown on the horse's buttocks, and he also entered the city with the other nobles.
Twenty or thirty horses passed through the city gate one after another, and the horses' hooves "triumphantly" stepped on the bluestone brick floor, gradually moving away......
After the figure of the noble girl disappeared on the North Street, the city gate resumed its companionship, and the people came and went, and there was no shortage of bold people muttering that the women of these remote tribes were rude, and the shelves were bigger than the East Factory, and they had to clear the way into the city.
At this time, Cen Yin and his entourage, who "everything is simple", have arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, and it is the new Jingzhao Yin Wanguiran who diligently personally handled the transfer of ownership to Duanmujun and Duanmufei.
The boulder in Zhang Wenche's heart fell to the ground, and he almost couldn't wait to leave.
Cen Yin personally sent Duanmujun and Duanmufei sisters back to Duanmu Mansion, and the carriage turned back to Dongchang.
Duanmujun has done another big thing, and his mood is surprisingly good.
After getting off the carriage, she chattered with Duanmufei that she would send someone to Jiangnan to purchase Taihu stone, glazed tiles, etc., said that she planned to repair the hot spring Zhuangzi within a year, and talked about Duanmufei's dowry......
"Zhenzhen, I have collected all your dowry here."
Duanmujun solemnly held a box and put it in front of Duanmufei, and there was a thick stack of paper in the box, including house deeds, land deeds, land deeds, silver tickets, dowry lists, etc., even if this stack of paper was pinched tightly, it was as thick as three fingers.
Duanmujun put the deed paper in his hand into the box again, with a smug and satisfied smile on his face.
The dowry that other girls have, her sister is naturally indispensable.
Duanmujun raised his hand and rubbed the top of his sister's hair, and said, "Zhenzhen, my sister will let you marry beautifully!" Duanmujun's eyes were as bright as stars.
Duanmu nodded obediently in response.
It's good that my sister is happy.
Besides, she's only twelve years old, and she still has three years left, three years is enough to find her a brother-in-law, right? When the time comes, these dowries can be given to my sister, and there is no need to buy them in a hurry! Duanmu Fei thought to himself and smiled even more cutely.
Duanmu Jun was in a better mood, and solemnly put the box in the cabinet, locked it himself, and put the key in his close-fitting purse.
At this time, Wisteria came in and said, "Big girl, fourth girl, when you go out, the sewing room has brought the freshly made winter shirt, do you want to try it?" ”
Duanmu Fei had just come back from outside, and she was lazy, but she didn't have time to speak, she was already pulled up by Duanmu, and the sisters went to the east together.
In the east room, there are already delicate winter clothes, from gowns, jackets, long skirts, to cloaks, shoes and socks.
According to the rules of the house, the girls have four sets of new clothes every season, if you want extra clothes, you have to pay for each room by yourself, these two years the long room has silver and materials, Duanmu Jun has always spoiled his sister, and he made ten sets of winter clothes for his sister, crimson, madley, plum red, primrose, duck yellow, etc., each color is bright and good-looking.
"Zhenzhen, you see this akane cloak is so beautiful!" Duanmujun picked up a madder cloak inlaid with a circle of white mink fur and draped it on Duanmufei's body, full of praise, "Feng Gongzi's vision is really good, and the materials he chooses are very suitable for you." "Feng Yan really has a heart!
Speaking of Feng Yan, Duanmu stiffened, oh no, she hadn't made the new clothes for Feng Yan yet.
It's almost November in the blink of an eye, and it's December again, Cen Yin said that Feng Yan should be back at the end of the year......
Two months to go...... Hmm, otherwise, she just made a purse?
It's a big deal to give him more roots!
Duanmufei felt that this seemed to be a good idea, and Duanmujun compared those clothes on her, and her soul flew away.
She was afraid that she would be careless and even forget to make her purse, so after trying on the winter shirt, she immediately started to pick out the materials herself.
From a set of clothes to a purse, Duanmu Fei was a little weak-hearted, so he deliberately drew an embroidery sample first, planning to embroider it well.
She was busy every day, and she had long forgotten about women's studies.
However, she forgot, Hanxing didn't.
Early in the morning of the first day of November, just after dawn, Han Xing came excitedly, and dug Duanmu Fei up from the warm quilt, saying that it was today's female school enrollment, and asked her to go to Huilan Garden to see the excitement.
------Off topic------
It's February, and I have a guaranteed monthly pass, okay?
