，

Han Xing waved his hand and asked Yingluo to inquire about what was going on. Xie Xiangling is a stupid person, he doesn't remember lessons, he doesn't remember beatings, maybe he can make some jokes again.

The more Han Xing thought about it, the more he felt that this play might be able to be played several times again.

"Oh, it's a pity, Cousin Scarlet went back too early and didn't see the most lively part." Han Xing shook his head and sighed, secretly thinking in his heart that he would still have to go out of the palace in two days, either to live at his grandfather's house, or to go to Huilan Garden for a day of classes, and to "communicate" with Dangui and them.

Duanmu Guifei, who was sitting on the Luohan bed, slowly drank Biluochun, and watched her daughter smile undignified on the circle chair, and couldn't help but shake her head secretly: Her daughter just can't grow up.

As soon as Yingluo went out on the front foot, Mu Youxian, who was wearing an apricot yellow prince python robe on the back foot, also came in, and his eyes inevitably fell on Han Xing.

Mu Youxian tacitly exchanged a tacit look with Duanmu Guifei, slightly hooked his lips, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Han Xing like this, she is innocent and carefree, I just hope that he, the eldest brother, can protect her for the rest of her life.

Duanmu Guifei waved her hand, and the maids serving in the side hall all retreated.

Mu Youxian took a few steps forward, first saluted Duanmu Guifei, and then got straight to the point: "Mother, Erchen has already settled his grandmother." ”

Settling in grandmother? Han Xinghu blinked suspiciously, sat up straight all of a sudden, and looked towards Mu Youxian.

Duanmu Guifei pursed her full red lips, her eyelashes drooped slightly, and the water in the tea cup was reflected in her eyes, which made her eyes a little complicated.

Mu Youxian continued: "My grandmother should be fine, but my uncle and grandfather's family are afraid that there is some trouble. ”

The trouble of the He family naturally originated from the arson case in Duanmu Mansion.

Because the He family didn't know about the arson in advance and didn't directly intervene, Mu Youxian took a little bit of it, and didn't involve the He family in the arson case, but the He family was in trouble......

"Especially the two cousins." Mu Youxian hesitated and said, sighing leisurely in his heart, "I heard that the He family is going to divorce these two daughters-in-law, so that they can survive with their tails." ”

When he said the last four words, Mu Youxian couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Duanmu Guifei put down the teacup in her hand, her red lips pursed out a disapproving arc, and her expression was slightly cold.

She didn't want to pay attention to the He family's pickled things at all, but the He family was her own mother, of course she didn't want the He family to suffer from prison, as for the He family, she made trouble for her mother, so that her parents deserved to make this situation today.

A cold light flashed at the bottom of Duanmu Guifei's eyes, and her expression was hateful.

Han Xing looked at Mu Youxian for a while, and looked at Duanmu Guifei for a while, and the more he listened, the more confused he became.

What happened to my grandmother and uncle's house? What arson, what is the broken tail to survive......

One question after another appeared in Hanxing's heart, and he couldn't help but ask: "Mother concubine, eldest brother, what's wrong?" ”

Duanmu Guifei was also hesitant to open her mouth to tell Han Xing about this, but since Han Xing asked today, she simply said: "Your maternal grandparents are divorced." "Actually, Duanmu Xian took a leave of absence from the He family, but after all, the He family is Duanmu Guifei's mother-in-law, and she can only use this euphemism.

Yes?! Han Xing looked at Duanmu Guifei dumbfounded, when did this happen?

Han Xing wanted to ask again, but saw that the door curtain was opened again, and Yingluo came back, followed by a small chamberlain.

Yingluo felt that the atmosphere in the hall seemed a little strange, but she didn't think much about it, and walked straight to Han Xing with the little chamberlain.

The little waiter said: "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, the slave has just returned from the Fifth Institute of Qiandong, and Gonggong Zhou has just finished flogging the third princess and returned to Fengluan Palace to resume his life." The face of the third princess was so swollen that the servants were afraid that they would not be able to eat for several days. ”

"The third princess is now arguing fiercely with the third prince, and she scolds the third prince in public for being weak and useless, and he can't even protect his wife, saying that he is even more useless than the fourth prince!"

The little chamberlain's mind couldn't help but think of the gloomy face of the three princes, and he didn't know whether to sympathize with the three princes or worry about the future of the three princesses.

Duanmu Guifei sighed with emotion and said, "The fourth prince can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. ”

A woman like Xie Xiangling, who can't carry it clearly, if she marries into the door, it will really be a disaster for three generations, and she will have a headache for the rest of her life.

The knuckle of Mu Youxian's right hand tapped twice on the small square table next to him, as if he was thinking, and muttered: "I don't know what will happen to the Xie family's property case......

Duanmu Guifei elegantly stroked her sleeve with her white fingers dyed with Kodan, and said lightly: "I'm afraid it's hanging, unless your father and emperor wake up now, otherwise this time the Xie family will definitely hurt their muscles and bones." ”

Duanmu Guifei half-lowered her eyes, looking at the bright red Kou Dan on her fingertips, her eyes flashing slightly.

There was another sentence she hid and didn't say, even if the emperor could wake up at this time, with the current situation, the emperor might not want to suppress Cen Yin for a while.

Whether the Xie family survives or dies, now I'm afraid it's just a matter of Cen Yin's words.

Mu Youxian also lowered his eyes and was silent, he also thought of going with Duanmu Guifei.

I'm afraid the Xie family will not be able to pass the test this time.

Not only Duanmu Guifei and Mu Youxian were paying attention to the Xie family's case, but the eyes of all the provinces in Beijing were also concerned about the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

In the next three days, the Metropolitan Procuratorate concentrated on checking the account books of the Xie family, and "checked" the two hundred and fifty-six dowries of the three princesses, however, the amounts of the two were completely incompatible, and there were many mistakes and omissions.

Then, Master Li sent people to the pawnshops in Beijing that had contact with the Xie family to investigate the pawn items of the Xie family.

According to the results of the investigation, the amount is still not matched.

Xie Xiangling's dowry contained many things that were not at all in the account books, and the whereabouts of some things recorded in the account books were unknown.

There are too many problems in these account books handed over by the Xie family, and the more the Metropolitan Procuratorate investigates, the more they feel that it is wrong, and it is inferred that the account books should be incomplete, and I am afraid that there is a huge amount of unknown family property that has not been found.

In just a few days, this incident caused a stir in the capital, and those literati and students worked hard to demand a thorough investigation of the case.

Even Duanmufei, who went out to buy snacks, inevitably heard a few words of discussion when queuing:

"In my opinion, where did the Cheng'en Mansion get so much money, it must be the result of bribery!"

"In recent years, there have been many officials who have bullied people, maybe they have forcibly seized the income of the people!"

"You say, where did the Cheng'en Mansion hide that huge amount of money?"

"Who knows, Xu dug a hole in the house and buried it......"

“……”

Duanmu Fei bought peach shortbread and corn bee cake from Xiang Crispy Ji and went home, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the housekeeper come to the house and said: "Fourth girl, the concubine Niangniang just sent a grandmother over, and the person has already gone to Hanlian Courtyard." ”

When Duanmu Fei went to see Duanmu Guifei three days ago, she heard Guifei mention that she wanted to send her grandmother to Ji Lanzhou, and after she returned home, she told Ji Lanzhou and Duanmu Heng about it, and got the consent of her brother and sister-in-law, so she sent someone to the palace to deliver the news.

I heard that Duanmu Guifei sent her grandmother over, so Duanmu Fei did not return to Zhanqing Courtyard, but went to Hanlian Courtyard.

"Fourth girl, please come here." The maid of Hanlian Courtyard led Duanmu Fei into the inner room.

Duanmufei immediately found that it was a lot empty, and it seemed that several objects were missing, so he changed the layout slightly.

Ji Lanzhou was still half-lying on the couch, and Mrs. He was checking her pulse, and in addition to Ji Lanzhou's two big maids, there was another plump grandmother beside the couch.

The grandmother turned her back to Duanmu Fei, pointed to the courtyard outside the window and said to the big girl Sizhu: "These courtyards are planted with hydrangeas, right?" Hydrangeas are poisonous, and when they bloom, the pollen gets on the skin, which may cause itchy skin, and pregnant women are sensitive, so it is better to avoid it. and the clove that is easy to make pregnant women dizzy, cough and insomnia, and let people get rid of it. ”

"Yes, Mama Guan." Silk and bamboo only promise.

Mama Guan and Sizhu also heard the movement of someone coming in, and turned to look.

Mama Guan looks like she is about forty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a half-new and old mugwort blue dark pattern gown, dressed very plainly, and a kind round face seems to be smiling all the time, which makes people feel very friendly when they look at it.

Mama Guan didn't dare to hold it up at all when she saw Duanmufei, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask An to see her: "I've seen the four girls." ”

"Mama Guan." Duanmu Fei smiled slightly, she often entered the palace, and she had also seen this Guan Mama several times in Zhongcui Palace, and knew that she had served Duanmu Guifei to give birth to the eldest prince and Hanxing, and she was also the right-hand man beside the concubine.

Duanmu Guifei specially sent this Guan Mama to take care of Ji Lanzhou, which was also very heartfelt.

At this time, Imperial Physician He, who had given Ji Lanzhou's pulse, stood up, and also came over with a smile to greet Duanmu, and said with a respectful and courteous expression: "The fourth girl is relieved, my sister-in-law's condition has stabilized, and she will continue to recuperate like this, and after the fetus is stable in a few months, she should be able to stay and walk." ”

"It's too much of a doctor." Duanmu Fei smiled slightly, and followed, and the big girl Sizhu sent Taiyi He out.

Mama Guan on the side looked at the back of Doctor He with a subtle expression.

When she first arrived, she was actually startled when she saw that Imperial Physician He was also there, and when she heard from the conversation of the maids that Imperial Physician He had been living in Duanmu Mansion for several days, her mood was complicated.

Mama Guan's eyes glanced at Duanmu Fei again, and said secretly: This fourth girl's face is really too big.

In the middle of his thoughts, another round-faced maid came in, holding a few pieces of silk paper full of writing in her hand, and respectfully blessed Mama Guan, "Mama Guan, this is the dish that Grandma Guan has eaten in the past ten days, as well as the prescriptions and medicinal meals prescribed by Imperial Doctor He." ”

"Mama Guan, please take care of yourself." Duanmu said with a smile, walked to Ji Lanzhou's couch and sat down, and talked to Ji Lanzhou.

Mama Guan looked at these lists carefully, and several maids were a little nervous on the side, for fear that there would be something wrong with Ji Lanzhou's diet.

After half a cup of tea, Mama Guan finished reading the lists at hand, and then instructed the maid to prepare pen and ink, and wrote three lists with confidence.

After drying the ink, Mama Guan presented the three pieces of paper to Ji Lanzhou again, "Grandma Da Shao, this is the meal that the slave maid has set for you for the next three days, let's see if there is anything that needs to be changed?" ”

Mama Guan's attitude was very polite, although she was not a slave of the Duanmu family, but after all, she was here to take care of Ji Lanzhou, so naturally Ji Lanzhou should come first in everything.

Ji Lanzhou read these pieces of paper at a glance and ten lines, and he knew it in his heart.

This Mama Guan is really thoughtful, she originally thought that Mama Guan was going to look at the menu of the past few days because she was worried about what she should not eat, but now looking at the menu listed by the other party, she suddenly understood that Mama Guan listed the menu according to her own eating habits, but slightly added or subtracted a few things.

"It's good to be tired of Mama Guan." Ji Lanzhou smiled softly at Mama Guan, and handed over these menus to Sizhu.

When Mama Guan heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking care of a pregnant woman is actually not a good errand, and she does not necessarily have any credit for the birth of the child, if she encounters the kind of pregnant woman who is not easy to get along with, it is really thankless. It seems that this county lord is also a person who knows good and bad, so it will be easier and smoother to do things by himself.

Sizhu carefully took the menus, looked at them carefully, and then put them away.

At this time, there was some movement in the direction of the courtyard, and a little maid was directing four or five coarse women to deal with the lilacs and hydrangeas in the courtyard.

Mama Guan looked out the window, and then at the maids serving in the house, and sighed slightly in her heart: No wonder. It stands to reason that the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law's first child, whether it is her mother-in-law or Ji Lanzhou's mother's family, can take care of one or two, but there is no female elder in this first auxiliary mansion, and Ji Lanzhou's parents are dead, so it's no wonder that the concubine is not at ease and sent herself here to take care of it.

"Mama Guan......" Ji Lanzhou thought that it was not early today, and wanted to let another big girl take Mama Guan down to settle down first, but before the words could be spoken, the door curtain was opened again, and an elegant young man in a azure straight jacket came in.

"Big brother." Duanmu Sfei smiled obediently at Duanmu Heng.

Duanmu Heng had just gotten off class from Guozijian, and he had already heard from the maid that Duanmu Guifei had sent Mama to come, he first bowed slightly in the direction of Ji Lanzhou and Duanmu Fei, and then looked at Mama Guan, and arched his hand decently, "The inner man will take care of Mama in the future." ”

Mama Guan was a little flattered, and hurriedly blessed Duanmu Heng, and said softly: "The eldest young master is polite, this is a matter for the slave and maid." ”

Duanmu Heng is the owner of this room, of course, he also noticed that the layout here has changed a little, and he is a little annoyed, feeling that he is still not careful enough, and he should have found someone to see if there are any objects in this house that are not suitable for pregnant women.

Duanmu Heng said politely: "Mama Guan, if there is anything that requires our cooperation, please just open your mouth, don't be polite." ”

After a pause, he proposed again: "It's better to be like this, Mama Guan, if there is anything that needs attention or taboos, please bother you to dictate it and let people record it." It's incomplete for a while, and then check and fill in the gaps later. ”

Duanmu Fei looked at Duanmu Heng from the side and was in awe, her eldest brother really has a rigorous attitude towards learning. It is conceivable that after Mama Guan's charter is listed, next, the slaves and maids in this courtyard will have to be memorized, and they will have to be spot-checked if they can't do it!

"The eldest young master has a very good idea." Mama Guan responded with kindness, and followed Sizhu out to make a charter.

Duanmu Fei thought that Duanmu Heng and Ji Lanzhou should have something to say, stood up, and took the initiative to leave: "Big brother, sister-in-law, I'll go first." Sister-in-law, you have a good rest, and I will come to see you tomorrow. ”

So, Duanmu Fei left Hanlian Courtyard with her two boxes of snacks.

Who would have thought that she couldn't return to Zhanqing Courtyard this time, and only halfway through, she met Duanmujun.

"Zhenzhen, my grandfather has just returned home, and I was just about to go to Hanlian Courtyard to see Lan Zhou, and by the way, I will go with you to ask my grandfather for peace." Duanmu Jun said while holding Duanmu Fei's arm.

"The eldest brother is talking to the sister-in-law, let's not bother." Duanmu said with a smile, looking intimate.

The sisters changed their route halfway and went to Duanmuxian's outer study.

For Duanmu Fei, Duanmu Xian's place is no different from her own place, she skillfully beckoned the big girl in the study to help her serve the dim sum she bought on the plate.

After the sisters sat down, Duanmu Fei remembered something and said, "Grandfather, Aunt Guifei just sent Grandma over, and she is now in Hanlian Courtyard, I look at this Grandma Guan is good." ”

"That's good, that's good." Duanmuxian breathed a sigh of relief.

Duanmuxian was also a little afraid in his heart, and said in his heart: There is no one to take care of this family, it's really not good, what happened last time almost scared him out of a cold sweat.

The maid asked the small kitchen to heat up the snack before serving it, and after the corn bee cake was heated, it exuded a unique sweet smell of corn, which made Duanmu salivate and secrete.

Duanmu Fei filial piety sent the dim sum plate to Duanmu Xian, signaling him to eat first, and then he couldn't wait to pick up a piece of it.

At this time, Duanmu Heng also arrived, and Duanmu greeted him with a smile: "Big brother, you came just in time, come and try this corn bee cake." ”

After Duanmu Heng saluted Duanmu Xian, he also sat down, and then talked to Duanmu Xian about today's homework.

Duanmu Fei felt very bored when she heard it, her brain was empty, she ate her dim sum deliciously, and said in her heart: Well, the craftsmanship of the master of Xiangshuji is getting better and better, tomorrow she will go to the queue early and try other snacks.

Duanmu Heng talked about his homework until after class, and several classmates of Guozijian debated about the Xie family.

Duanmu Fei swallowed the last bite of corn bee cake, and went to pick up the peach shortbread on another plate, just when he heard about the Xie family, he said casually: "Grandfather, I also heard some when I went out today, and it's lively outside......"

Duanmu Xian, as the first assistant, naturally knows a little more than others.

He snorted mockingly, shook his head disappreciatively, and said, "Xie family, you are really smart!" Now they have handed the 'handle' to Cen Yin's hand by themselves. ”

Duanmu Heng pursed his lips thoughtfully, heard a little deep meaning from his grandfather's words, and asked, "Grandfather, did Lord Cen have long suspected that the Xie family's huge wealth is from unknown origins?" ”

That's for sure. Duanmu scarlet bites into the peach shortbread contentedly.

"Nine times out of ten." Duanmu Xian nodded and replied, "Just now, Cen Yin has ordered Dongchang to raid the Xie family and see where the Xie family hid those family properties. ”

Once the East Factory makes a move, even if it is three feet into the ground, it will be investigated.

Now, the Xie family is afraid that even the belt meat will be picked up, and it is estimated that they will be eaten so much that they don't even want to spit out the bones!

Duanmu Fei knew that the Xie family had been jumping up and down for so long, but Cen Yin had not really moved the Xie family before, just because there was no need for that for the time being.

And now that Cen Yin has started, does it mean that he no longer needs the Xie family......

Duanmu Fei suddenly remembered the good news sent by Ah Yan a few days ago, and quietly glanced at Duanmu Xian.

Grandfather must not have known about this!

In addition to Cen Yin in this capital, my sister and myself know.

Duanmu Fei glanced at Duanmu Jun beside him, and smiled so that his big eyes were half-narrowed, and his eyebrows were crooked, like a cunning and satisfied little fox.

Seeing that his little granddaughter suddenly laughed and didn't know what she was happy about, Duanmu Xian was also infected with a smile, the corners of his lips curled, and he deliberately asked, "Fourth girl, you haven't been to the girls' school for a few days?" ”

"Click......

Duanmu Fei just took a bite of the peach shortbread, and his small mouth opened slightly, and he froze there like a freeze.

In retrospect, it seemed as if she hadn't been there since the Chinese New Year.

Duanmu Fei swallowed the peach shortbread in his mouth, showed a cute and sweet smile at Duanmu Xian, and said coquettishly: "Grandfather, I've been too busy lately. ”

Yes, she was busy, busy embroidering Ah Yan's cloak, busy reading the two Western books she had recently found, and busy accompanying her sister-in-law......

Duanmu Xian smiled, he didn't really care whether Duanmu Fei went to women's school, he just deliberately teased his little granddaughter, wanting to see her behaving coquettishly.

Duanmuxian looked at Duanmufei with a sweet smile, and suddenly felt a sigh that my family has a girl who has just grown up, and his little granddaughter is also fourteen years old, and she will marry this year.

Yes, men should get married, women should get married, and the children have grown up one by one.

Duanmu Xian felt a little relieved and a little sad in his heart, his eyes flashed slightly, and he remembered another thing.

It's time for him to make up his mind.

Duanmuxian picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea, and said coldly: "Ah Heng, I plan to split up." ”
