Outside the door, a middle-aged man was standing in the hallway, about to raise his hand and knock on the door.

The middle-aged man is about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, tall, wearing an official green moire brocade robe, with a rhino horn belt around his waist, and his appearance is majestic, but he has begun to make fortune, and between his eyebrows can still be seen the capable and handsome of his youth, and a pair of sharp eyes are bright.

"Uncle Yuan, please come in." Geng Anhao respectfully welcomed the middle-aged man into the house.

At the other end of the corridor, there was the sound of Xiao Er's "kicking" downstairs, and as soon as the man surnamed Yuan entered the elegant seat, he was indignant and complained for Geng Hai: "Grandpa Guo, the emperor is too much!" ”

"Grandpa Guo, don't worry, we are all pulled up by you, you shout, we will go to the soup and the fire, and we will not give up!"

The more the man surnamed Yuan spoke, the more angry he became, his eyebrows were deeply locked, and he looked worthless for Geng Hai.

"Brother Yuan." Geng Hai raised his hand and made a silent motion, and glanced in the direction of the corridor again.

The door of the private seat was still wide open, and the chatter of the tea and wine guests in the lobby outside was faintly heard:

“…… Speaking of which, the Heavenly Family is still boycotting the dynasty, right? ”

"This crime has come out, what kind of dynasty is it going to, the name is not right!"

"That's right. I think 'that one' is now shameless to face the court officials. ”

"It is said that since ancient times, there have been no fathers and sons and no brothers, and this is really the case......"

Hearing that the matter of the edict was being discussed outside, Geng Hai only felt that his mood was becoming more and more solemn, and he said in his heart: It seems that the emperor's killing of his brother and seizing the throne is really unbearable, so it's okay!

In other words, the son is afraid that he will be disappointed......

Geng Hai looked at Geng Anhao's angular side face, and his thoughts flew in his heart: his son was really infatuated with that Duanmu Jun, but according to the current situation, it was impossible for them to choose the eldest prince and the Duanmu family.

The current situation of the Geng family is too bad, of course he hopes to find evidence that Cen Yin tampered with the edict and bring Cen Yin down in one fell swoop, but time is too tight, if he really can't come up with evidence to prove his innocence, he has to retreat to the next best thing and "take risks"!

Thinking about it, two clusters of flames faintly popped up in Geng Hai's eyes, which was something called ambition.

He had already thought about it, if he was really forced to go to "that step", he would have to force the palace to rebel, clear the monarch's side, and then support a certain prince to ascend the throne......

The problem is that the eldest prince is thousands of miles away in the south at the moment, which means that it is impossible for the eldest prince to return to Beijing in a short time, and they naturally cannot support him to ascend the throne.

That's probably fate!

Geng Hai sighed secretly and said to himself, his son likes Duanmu Jun so much, if there is a chance to make him happy, he is a father, and he still has to let him be happy.

At most, wait for the matter to be completed, and then arrange it...... When that time comes, how dare the Duanmu family say a "no" to their Geng family!

However, as a last resort, Geng Hai still didn't want to go to that point in his heart.

Forcing the palace is not a trivial matter, it needs to be carefully planned, just like the present in the past, and prepare in advance.

If you are too anxious, it means that it is impossible to plan Zhou, just like King Su and Sun Mingying, the end of rushing to the palace is an empty game, losing all the games, and the funeral of the family will be involved!

As long as Cen Yin can be eliminated and this crisis can be resolved, Geng Hai feels that he can wait a little longer and wait for a more suitable time to come.

He knew in his heart that even if he got rid of Cen Yin, he and the emperor would never be able to go back to the past, just like a broken mirror, even if the pieces were put back together, the rift would not disappear.

"Ahn." Geng Hai called, and Geng Anhao hurriedly closed the door of the elegant seat.

With a "squeak", the door closed completely, and the sounds in the lobby were also isolated from the door.

There was still a lot of discussion in the hall, and everyone expressed their opinions and emotions were high.

As Geng Hai expected, the matter of the guilty edict could not be suppressed at all.

There was almost a ruckus in Shilin, and some people felt that the emperor killed his brother and seized the throne, and he was not in the right position, and he should abdicate; However, some people also proposed that Emperor Chongming did not leave an heir, and he retreated to no one and did not reconcile with the patriarchy, and would only start a dispute for the throne in the court because of this; Some people say that they have been on the throne for more than 16 years, and that they have not committed any major faults during their reign, and that they have confessed their sins, which can be regarded as self-examination......

Since the incident of the 16 March edict, such controversies have not ceased and have intensified.

Although the emperor quit the court, he did not close his eyes and ears because of this, and he also knew that this matter could not be suppressed.

On March 28, the emperor finally wrote an edict in which he said that when the emperor was dying, he had verbally deposed the crown prince. Later, after Emperor Chongming ascended the throne, he also wholeheartedly supported Emperor Chongming, but he didn't expect Emperor Chongming to be suspicious because of the first emperor's oral edict.

No matter what the reason is, he still killed his eldest brother after all, and he has repented all these years, so he will make an edict to introspect himself.

This paper edict is like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, setting off a stormy wave in Beijing, and the streets and alleys of the capital are discussing it vividly.

Bi Chan is the most well-informed, she heard about it outside when she went to Jinshiji to buy dim sum, and immediately ran back to Duanmu Mansion, and told Duanmu Fei these things with a fluttering eyebrow.

In the garden, flowers are blooming, birds are singing, and Duanmu is setting the emblem position for her piano in the pavilion.

The piano has thirteen emblems, but also thirteen part-tone points, no more, no less, subtract too simple, increase is too complicated, its use is as the positioning of overtones, but also the reference for the pianist to take the sound according to the lower finger.

For a piano, the emblem is naturally an extremely important component, which needs to be calculated repeatedly in order to be appropriate and appropriate.

Duanmufei's movements were cautious, as if his subordinates were a priceless treasure, and Jin Se gave her a hand on the side, handing her tools from time to time and wiping sawdust.

There are already seven emblems on the piano, there is a way to be "golden emblem and jade", Duanmu Fei chose the red gold luodian as the piano emblem, which is particularly eye-catching on the chestnut-colored piano surface.

Bi Chan said her, Duanmu Fei was busy with her, and there were those who didn't listen to it.

After finishing the eighth emblem, Duanmu Fei breathed a long sigh of relief, took a candied fruit to eat, and couldn't help but turn his thoughts to the emperor's edict.

Duanmufei raised his eyes and glanced in the direction of the palace, from the location of Duanmu Mansion, of course, he couldn't see the palace, but even if he hadn't seen the emperor recently, Duanmufei could roughly guess the emperor's thoughts.

The reason why the emperor decided to issue this edict was that when the first emperor died, only the deceased Xianqing Yuanbo was present, and the "dictation" of the first emperor to abolish the prince was his shield.

Duanmufei couldn't help but think of the Yang family, thought of the year before last it was Cen Yin and Dongchang who raided the Yang family, and thought of why the Yang family was raided back then......

She swallowed her saliva, hurriedly picked up the warm tea on the side, and said in her heart: It's better to drink tea, don't think about something that you don't have......

This spring is just right, so why bother yourself!

Her head began to empty again, and there was a dull look in her eyes.

Bi Chan continued to talk to her about the edict: "By the way, girl, Huang Shanghai said in the edict that he would correct the name of Emperor Chongming." ”

"......" Duanmufei was almost choked by the tea in his mouth, and eagerly put down the teacup and looked down at the carp pond outside the pavilion.

A red carp happily flicked its tail in the pond, carefree, and when it swam, there were ripples on the water surface, spreading out in a circle, and Duanmu's eyes also rippled slightly, and his heart moved.

After ascending the throne that year, Emperor Chongming was designated as a puppet emperor, and even his tablet failed to enter the temple to worship, and the bones failed to enter the imperial tomb.

Now the edict openly admits that the name is correct, at least the tablet and bones of Emperor Chongming can be in their place.

Duanmu pursed her lips, and Feng Yan appeared in her mind, but for some reason, her heart suddenly twitched, and her eyes were a little sour.

This emotion came extremely suddenly, and it was also extremely strange.

What does that feel like?!

Duanmu crooked his head, and planned to take care of it in an attitude of researching knowledge, and at this moment, Duanmujun's familiar voice came from the front right: "Zhenzhen!" ”

Duanmu Fei was suddenly diverted, and following the prestige, on a cobblestone path outside the pavilion, a girl wearing a plum red dress walked one by one, the girl combed a thick green silk comb, and a lotus flower golden hairpin inlaid with southern pearls was obliquely inserted in the bun, which was glorious, more bright and moving than the flowers beside her.

Duanmujun walked into the pavilion with her skirt on her shoulder, sat down next to Duanmufei, and looked at her piano curiously.

Even Duanmujun didn't know anything about the qin, in the past year or so, he watched Duanmufei make this qin step by step, and listened to her recite the Qin Sutra, and now he has four or five points of understanding of the qin, at least he can see what stage this qin has reached.

"Zhenzhen, your piano is almost ready, right?" Duanmujun casually chatted with his sister.

Duanmu Fei nodded, and said crisply: "After the emblem is set, I will put good strings and goose feet on the piano, and my piano will be completed." ”

After more than a year of busyness, her piano is finally finished. Duanmu Fei looked at the qin in front of him, and felt happy in his heart, and said: "No, I still have to think of a name for it before it is finished." ”

Yes, the last step of this qin, and the most troublesome step, should be to choose a name.

Duanmu frowned her little face, and quickly thought about it: When she is wound, she will think about this again.

She took a sip of tea with a smile, and changed her words: "Sister, Mrs. Yang came to you for the second sister's marriage?" "The Yang family is here, the other party is the future in-laws, and Duanmujun is not easy to see, so he has to go to entertain the guests in person.

Between the words, Jin Se served tea to Duanmujun, Duanmujun nodded and said: "Mrs. Yang just said that your second sister is about to get married, and the Yang family wants to set the marriage date between her and the third son of Yang, and Mrs. Yang means that it will be set on April 15, I just said that this matter has to be decided by the elders, let Mrs. Yang discuss with her grandfather." ”

Duanmu Fei grabbed a handful of fish food and sprinkled it into the pond, and the carp in the pond was in a commotion, and you fought for me.

Duanmu Fei looked at the impatient fish, and said with a smile: "The Yang family is in a hurry. ”

As soon as the matter of killing his brother and seizing the throne came out, Yang Hui, the first Qing Yuanbo, was the only important minister who was on the side when the first emperor died, but the Yang family offended Jinshang because of the collusion of officials and bandits and accepting bribes.

"Sister, you're so smart, just push it to your grandfather." Duanmu said with a smile, a fox-like smile on his little face.

Grandfather Duanmuxian is a smart person, how can he not know the key, at this time, he will definitely not let the Yang family get his wish. The emperor decreed that Duanmu Qi and Yang Sangongzi were married, but Duanmu Xian, as the head of the court, wanted to drag a marriage very simply.

Thinking about it, Duanmu Fei silently gave Duanmu Xian and himself a tear of sympathy, in fact, their Duanmu family has already boarded the "biggest thief ship", and everything else is just a trivial matter!

Duanmujun said with a smile: "When my grandfather comes back, I will go and tell him about Mrs. Yang's visit today......" Duanmujun was too lazy to pay attention to the affairs of the second room, and was happy to be the shopkeeper.

Duanmujun also fed the fish with Duanmufei, said piano, enjoyed flowers, watched butterflies, and drank tea...... Talk about it.

I don't know how long it took, Mama Zhang brought a middle-aged woman in her forties to the garden, the woman was of medium stature, ordinary appearance, wearing a simple blue dark striped jacket, and her round face could not hide the dust.

The sisters saw the middle-aged woman from a distance, and Duanmujun recognized each other at once, it was Wang Dabao's family, and she sent the steward Wang Dabao and his daughter-in-law to Jiangnan to buy it a few years later.

Duanmu was in good spirits, and after a while, Wang Dabao's family came to the pavilion with Mama Zhang, and she didn't dare to come in, so she stood outside the pavilion and respectfully saluted the sisters: "Big girl, fourth girl." ”

Duanmujun instructed the maid to bring a pestle to Wang Dabao's family and let her sit down and talk.

After thanking the master, Wang Dabao's family sat down and got straight to the point: "Big girl, the slave and the slave and the slave and the maid have just returned to Beijing from Jiangnan today, and it is still early to see that the slave and maid will come over to say hello to the girl first." ”

"The slave maid went to Jiangnan this time to purchase a lot of tea, cloth, jewelry, and porcelain...... It is the material of Jiangnan Yujin Cloth Village that needs to be booked, and it is estimated that it will take two months to send it to the capital. ”

"It's really good luck to go back to Jiangnan this time, I happened to see some precious rosewood, and the slave's family also bought it back, and the slave and maid looked at the furniture that should be completed, and it was more than enough."

As soon as they heard that Wang Dabao and his wife had bought rosewood on this trip, Duanmujun and Mama Zhang's eyes were bright, and Mama Zhang hurriedly said, "Big girl, it's great." After a few days, I will go to the princess's mansion to measure the size of the new house, and then I can start to make furniture. ”

Duanmu Jun said with a smile: "No hurry. I want to invite a few masters from Jiangnan to come back and fight. ”

Wang Dabao's family was very clever, and said: "Big girl, the slave maid's family has inquired, there are two furniture shops in Jiangnan where there are several masters with excellent craftsmanship, and those dignitaries in Jiangnan are all going to these two shops to make furniture......"

Wang Dabao's family talked about the affairs of Jiangnan, Duanmujun was quite satisfied, and bowed his head slightly from time to time, but Duanmufei was dizzy when he heard it, and he had already lost his soul in the sky......

After Wang Dabao's family retreated, Duanmu Jun smiled and said to Duanmufei: "Zhenzhen, I have already found someone to paint the appearance of the furniture, such as the Babu bed, the Luohan bed, the beauty couch, the wardrobe, the table and chairs, and the screen...... It's all the latest tricks this year, I'll show you later, what else do you want to change? ”

Duanmufei's eyes almost didn't turn into a pan incense, and he said, "Sister is in charge." ”

Her big black and white eyes were wide open and serious, like a cat squatting on the ground and looking up.

My sister is so cute. Duanmujun just looked at it like this, and felt that her sister was so cute, so she couldn't wait to take her in her arms, hug her, and rub it.

However, the good times didn't last long, and Duanmuqi suddenly came with a maid in a hurry.

Looking at her frowning brows and sinking face, you can see that she is not in a good mood, the little maids and mothers-in-law around the pavilion hurriedly avoided it, these two girls are not soft people, in case they are angry, that is, they are just unlucky.

"Big sister, is someone from the Yang family here?" Duanmuqi walked quickly to the entrance of the pavilion and asked straight to the point.

As the day approached, Duanmuqi became more and more afraid, and recently it was even more difficult to sleep and eat, and it didn't take long for people to lose a lot of weight. Of course, her personal maid also noticed this, but she was helpless, this marriage was given by the emperor, who could resist and disobey the order!

Just now, Duanmuqi was anxious when she heard the maid say that Mrs. Yang was coming, but when she ran to the Chaohui Hall, Mrs. Yang had already left, and Duanmuqi could only come to the garden to find Duanmuqi again.

"What did Mrs. Yang do when she came to the house, she ...... Did she come to mention the marriage contract? Duanmuqi subconsciously rubbed the handkerchief in his hand, feeling a little apprehensive and his voice was difficult.

"Not bad." Duanmujun nodded and answered truthfully, including that Mrs. Yang wanted to set the wedding date for April 15.

Rao is Duanmu Qi had already guessed, and when she heard Duanmu Jun's words, she couldn't help but shrink her pupils, as if a Nine Heavens Xuan Thunder had slashed on the Heavenly Spirit Cover, and her body instantly tensed, standing like a pole at the mouth of the pavilion.

After Duanmujun briefly relayed what Mrs. Yang said, he said, "Second sister, your grandfather will decide on your marriage." ”

Duanmufei sprinkled another handful of fish food into the pond, and casually reminded: "Second sister, you can rest assured, with the current situation, there is a chance that this marriage will not be successful." "So Duanmu Qi shouldn't look for trouble for nothing.

Duanmu Fei kindly reminded Duanmu Qi, but in Duanmu Qi's ears, he felt very harsh, and said angrily: "Fourth sister, everyone is a sister, all surnamed Duanmu, there is a way, one is prosperous, one is humiliated, as a younger sister, is it appropriate for you to say cool things at this time?!" ”

Duanmuqi felt that Duanmufei was saying so lightly, that is, the matter did not come to her.

Duanmu Fei is only twelve years old, and there are still three years left, and when she is married, she will marry into the mansion of the eldest princess of Anping, and she wants to see if she is in a hurry!

Duanmuqi was too lazy to talk nonsense with Duanmuqi, and eagerly took a step towards Duanmujun, and said in a commanding tone: "Big sister, you are the eldest sister, and you are in charge of the housekeeping of the family, and the fourth sister is not sensible, you should always know that my marriage into the Yang family is not beneficial to the girls of our Duanmu family......

"Second sister, how is my sister, I can't let you put your beak!" Duanmu interrupted Duanmu Qi unhappily, his eyes clear and firm. Her sister is the best in the world.

Besides, what should be said and what should be mentioned, they have also said it, and the rest is Duanmuqi's own business!

Sister mighty! If it weren't for Duanmuqi's face being so ugly, Duanmufei would almost want to applaud Duanmuqi.

There was a dead silence in the pavilion.

Duanmuqi's maid was really distressed when she looked at her own girl, and she felt aggrieved for her own girl. The big girl is so ruthless.

Duanmuqi's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and majestic anger brewed at the bottom of his eyes.

She didn't plan to come to ask Duanmuxuan, she just wanted to ask what was going on, but she didn't expect that she hadn't opened her mouth yet, and Duanmufei said those cool words first as if she was afraid that she would drag their sisters into the water.

Yes, Duanmu Jun will not help himself; My grandfather only valued interests and would not care; The mother is powerless and can't be the master; Grandmother was imprisoned; Han Xing only plays with Duanmu Fei now, and he won't beg the emperor for her...... The only one who can help her is the Queen Mother, who has liked her since she was a child, and treats her as her own granddaughter, and the Queen Mother will definitely help her!

Duanmuqi's face changed several times, and he quickly made up his mind in his heart.

She straightened her chest, gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I can't care about the fourth sister...... I don't need you to mind me! ”

After she dropped this sentence, she left resolutely, leaving only a slender and thin back, and when the wind blew, some empty dresses on her body were blown to hunt, and the corners of her skirts flew like butterflies, and the whole person was so thin that it seemed to be blown away by the wind at any time.

Duanmuqi ran away, Duanmujun and Duanmufei glanced at each other, but they didn't care.

Duanmujun continued to talk to Duanmufei about the dowry, she rubbed the top of her soft hair, and said softly: "Zhenzhen, you don't have to worry about anything, the furniture and dowry or something, my sister will arrange it for you." ”

Duanmu smiled obediently and said, "Sister, such a good rosewood, you can give yourself a set." ”

Since my sister doesn't care about her own dowry, it's good to just do everything in duplicate. Duanmu's eyes lit up, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good idea.

Duanmujun originally wanted to say what furniture she needed if she didn't get married, but when the words came to her mouth, she remembered one thing and muttered to herself: "I should also make a set of furniture." ”

Duanmujun's voice was not loud, but Duanmufei was sitting next to her, so she naturally heard it.

Duanmu Fei's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart: Is she going to have a future brother-in-law?!

Duanmu Fei was about to test Duanmu Jun for a few words, but he heard Duanmu Jun turn his head to look at her, and said seriously: "Zhen Zhen, Cen Gongzi said that there is a three-entry house to sell on Zhongchen Street, and you can accompany me to see the house tomorrow." ”

What Duanmujun thought in her heart was that since she was going to buy a new house, of course she also needed new furniture, and it was not bad to play two sets of furniture together.

"......" Duanmu was stunned, and also remembered, my sister seems, it seems that she has been talking about buying another house, and she has chosen it so quickly?!

Well, think about it carefully, in fact, the Luoxia Racecourse and the Hot Spring Zhuangzi were also picked quickly, as if every time she heard about it, within a few days, her sister chose it.

Also, this good thing must be done quickly, otherwise, if you miss this village, you won't have this store.

Duanmufei thought about it, and responded obediently, and said casually: "It just so happens that I have to pick another piece of jade for this piano to make goose feet, sister, when you finish the house, you can accompany me to pick it...... The jade I bought last time was used to make jade. Duanmu Fei said, her eyes fell on her baby piano again, her eyes were slight, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became.

She can't wait to get it on the strings and goose feet to try it out!

But what kind of name should be given to it?!

Duanmu blinked, his eyes were in a trance, and his soul flew out of the sky again......

Duanmu Fei meditated hard, accidentally slept late, accidentally overslept in the morning, and accidentally arrived late for a stick of incense.

"Master Cen, it's all my fault, I overslept in the morning."

As soon as Duanmu Fei saw Cen Yin, he poked his head out from behind the window of the carriage and obediently admitted his mistake, looking sincere and cute.

She is the sister of the Overseer! When the little chamberlain behind Cen was invisible, he was dumbfounded, and thought: Probably except for the emperor, only the sister of the overseer dares to let the overseer wait for a stick of incense.

"It's okay." Cen Yin, who was wearing a lake blue brocade robe, smiled slightly, and under the golden morning light, there was a soft smile on his beautiful face, not only why, but the little chamberlain actually saw a touch of kindness from it, and said secretly: Could it be that the overseer raised the four girls as daughters?
