Through this Liwei, Cao's mother was temporarily suppressed and died down, and because Mrs. Peng beat the servant woman who was arguing on the spot to do hard work, she scolded the garden this time. Chungui happily set up the small kitchen, used the cooking skills of "stealing the master" in Wang Jiugui's house, made a few dishes and sent them everywhere, the old lady was of course flattered and smiled, and the fourth lady was even attracted to the garden, and most of the day was discussed with Chungui about the food scriptures, so that the relationship between the aunt and the nephew had a great/leap forward.

Chungui has not forgotten the previous mention of Lanting, and made a few exquisite refreshments to give to the second uncle and grandmother and other elders at that time for the tea ceremony, in front of the old lady, of course Chungui did not rush to the second uncle and grandmother to be courteous, the piano score copied from Fengyu's collection has not yet found a chance to give, Chungui also wants to wait for more frequent exchanges before making a move more natural.

Of course, I didn't forget the "true meaning" of preparing for the small kitchen, and sure enough, I made soup and sent people to the outer courtyard every day, so Tang Hui still went to various famous stores in the capital every day, bringing back all kinds of delicious food, and the little couple were busy with the interaction of reciprocating the peach, so that the whole house was accustomed to it, and no one was interested in talking about the love story between the uncle and the grandmother.

The days seem to be on the right track, but in a blink of an eye it is approaching the ninth day of August, Lan Ting returned to the garden the day before the end, and was satisfied to find that this residence that has nominally belonged to him for more than ten years is really not what it used to be, it seems that even the flowers and plants in the yard are more vibrant, so that he is very interested in taking advantage of the clear moon, chatting with the spring return tea on the edge of the fish pond in the small backyard If it is not tomorrow, he will go down to the examination room, and he will stay in the room for nine days in a row, and he really needs to recuperate. Maybe he's in the mood for a drink.

"Looking at Huihui's refreshed appearance, it seems that there is nothing uncomfortable and troublesome in the past few days?" Uncle Zhao actually didn't have much confidence, presumably he also knew about the turmoil in the Taishi Mansion.

It's just that even Cao's mother and daughter saw that the uncle was at an "important juncture", and they were very aware of the righteousness and did not bother with the intrigue between women. And she really felt that she could still deal with it, not to the point of staggering, so she was completely relaxed and happy without burden: "How many troubles can be solved, aren't they all solved in advance?" The old lady is now kind and responsive to my needs, otherwise the little kitchen in our yard would not have been set up so smoothly. ”

"Second aunt isn't so easy to talk to, right?" Hearing that Chungui didn't mention Mrs. Peng, Lan Ting was aware.

Speaking of Mrs. Peng, Chungui is really a little unclear in the clouds, because after sending the troublesome servant woman to her for treatment last time, the lady in charge seems to have returned to her original state, and has become a little yin and yang weird and picky and strict, but Chungui except for meeting her in the hesitant garden, the two of them have not much intersection, and their mood is not affected, so they don't mind much.

She thought about it and still didn't hide it from Lan Ting: "Although the second aunt has some prejudices against me, fortunately, there is an old lady to protect me, and it is irrelevant for me to be picked on by her, don't worry about me, if you are really distracted by this idea in the inner house, and a careless mistake goes wrong in the examination room, I can't bear to complain." ”

Uncle Zhao is very big: "It may go wrong elsewhere, but it will never be in the examination room." ”

And in the next nine days, there was really no worry about what Uncle Zhao would do, but the old lady counted anxiously day by day, and sent someone to wait outside the examination room to inquire, worrying that the weather was too hot for a while, and it was really boring in the room; A moment later

I'm worried that I will bring enough rations, but I'm afraid that Uncle Zhao, who is not tired of eating, can't stand this hardship; As soon as I heard that there was heat stroke in the examination room, the candidates who had to leave the examination room were even more anxious; Suddenly woke up from a nightmare, saying that Lan Ting had eaten badly, and his stomach was carried out.

When the township test was finally over, Lan Ting was picked up by Tang Hui and Qiao Zhuang, and found that the old lady had dark eyes and a haggard face, as if she had lost a lot of weight, as if her old man had suffered for nine days.

And for Uncle Zhao, what is even more unbearable is that he has not shampooed and bathed for nine consecutive days, and the first thing he did when he returned to the hospital was to go straight to the clean room, and it took a long time to come out with relief.

No matter how diligent a student is, he has to rest for a while after the township exam, not to mention that Uncle Zhao doesn't seem to be diligent in the eyes of Chungui.

Therefore, when Uncle Zhao woke up and didn't mention the matter of going to the study in the outer courtyard, but plunged into the small kitchen to make food, Chungui didn't think that this situation was so unreasonable.

I don't know if Cao's mother didn't know that Uncle Zhao still had this preference before, but she immediately followed up in the kitchen and persuaded her to persuade the truth of "gentleman far away from the kitchen", but the result was naturally useless, but obviously Uncle Zhao didn't listen to the admonition, but Cao's mother looked at Chungui angrily, and sure enough, the men in the world are not at fault, and the fault is all because of the red face and trouble.

However, Chun Gui has given up the diagnosis and treatment of Cao's mother, her heart is as broad as the Yangtze River, she doesn't mind Cao's mother's disgusting accusations at all, and she still sets up a table in the small backyard with excitement, and the young couple have to go to the garden to hang out after a full meal, but the world of the two is often disturbed, who makes Uncle Zhao's fans too much, almost all the Lanzi disciples of the Taishi Mansion, even the little seven Zhao Lanqiao born to the fourth lady, this child still has two small mustaches and just learned to run, I all know that I want candy to eat after chasing after my big brother's ass, as if Lanting's candy is a different kind of sweetness.

has not been released yet, it seems that many people have heard that Lanting has caught up with this year's autumn season, and the posts are constantly entering the Taishi Mansion, and some people even visit without telling each other, Uncle Zhao is inevitably social, and the quiet days in the garden are broken, and the whole person is so busy that he goes out early and returns late and even sometimes sleeps on the street, and the last four words are a slip of the tongue, she actually wants to say that she is staying outside.

Ju Xi is complaining about those visitors, for no other reason, it is easy to get free before the end of the township test, and there is no need to be busy with the assistant master to manage local government affairs like when he was in Fenzhou, just to enhance the relationship between husband and wife with the grandmother, who knows that the happy days have not passed for two days, and they have been disturbed by these blind idlers.

Chun Gui didn't complain, and in turn comforted the chrysanthemum girl: "Uncle sees that he is going to enter the office, so he has to socialize with the official eunuchs of the family, and he still bears the glory and disgrace of the rise and fall of Xuan Zhutang on his shoulders, how can he just be quiet and idle?" If he really closes the door and only accompanies me to the garden for tea all day long, people like Cao's mother really have an excuse to accuse me of not doing my job properly. ”

For example, how did the tragedy of Lu Fangweng and Tang Huixian (note) come about? There are lessons from the previous experience, where will the scheming Uncle Zhao repeat the mistakes of the past.

But what Chungui didn't expect was that it was not only Uncle Zhao who was "harassed".

Even she received a greeting post, with incense on the orchid note, the handwriting was beautiful, and the signature was Wenmen Yao's.

Chungui racked his brains and didn't remember that he had such an acquaintance, guessing that maybe it was because of Uncle Zhao, and he hurriedly asked for instructions when he returned to the garden this night, and Lan Ting groaned for a while before he woke up to the ins and outs: "You still remember."

Remember Wen Shouchu in Fenzhou? ”

"Is that Wen Erlang with a hooked nose?"

"The day before yesterday, he specially handed over an invitation and invited me to a cheap shop to drink a wine, it seems that when the wine is hot, he will often walk around in the future, this Wenmen Yao is about his wife, if Huihui is not annoying, it is not impossible to see him."

Since Lan Ting said so, Chun Hui also replied to an invitation and met with Yao Niangzi.

Then another visitor, a woman in her early forties, claimed to be the daughter of the deceased with a cart of gifts on the orders of Shu Niangzi, a concubine of Shen Langzhong, a university scholar.

The spring return is confusing again.

The servant woman was extremely respectful to the spring return: "The master's mother's father's house and the grandmother's house are good for the family, only the master's mother married far away to the capital, so I have never seen the grandmother, I happened to hear that Uncle Zhao's relatives were born in Fenyang Gu's family, and the father was Hongfu six years of township trial Xie Yuan, only to know that the grandmother is the daughter of the deceased, because the grandmother is still in filial piety is inconvenient to invite, so he specially sent the old slave to greet. ”

In order to help Chungui "recover his memory", Lan Ting also deliberately explained in detail the family background of Shu Niangzi's husband Shen Langzhong: "Since it is a university scholar's mansion, then it must be the mansion of Shen Ge Lao, the fourth son of Shen Ge Lao, who was the Hubu Langzhong at the time, and I think he is Shu Niangzi's husband." ”

However, this is not of much use to Chungui, she is still confused: "I never heard my father mention the Shu family before, but I heard a few gossips from the clansmen, saying that my grandfather had a friend surnamed Shu, who was close for a while, and decided to marry his children, but then my grandfather's career was hopeless, and the uncle of the Shu family was admitted to the Jinshi, so he ruined the marriage contract." ”

This Shu lady doesn't know if she is married to Chungui's father, but the Gu Shu family has no contact since then because the Shu family reneged on the marriage contract, so they will not turn against each other but they are like strangers, where does this good family start?

Chungui was a little suspicious of Shu Niangzi's diligent intentions, and he didn't dare to accept such a generous gift, so he politely rejected Shu Niangzi's kindness, and Shu Niangzi didn't entangle anymore.

Immediately after that, another visitor came to the door, and the King of Qin and Princess Qin came very much!

At this time, Mo said that Lanting and Chun Gui, even the second, third, and fourth masters of the Taishi Mansion also greeted and saluted, but the old lady seemed a little arrogant, although she also ordered the woman to dress and greet her in person according to the rules, but on the way, she did not forget to pull Chun Gui and whispered: "Don't be so nervous, although the King of Qin is the Prince of Longzi, and his status is noble in the eyes of ordinary people, but all the gateways in the capital have some roots, I know the details of this highness, although he is nominally the son of Zheng Guifei, his biological mother has someone else......

So Chun Gui knew that His Royal Highness King Qin was the third son of the current saint, his biological mother was a palace maid, and the original master of the service was a concubine, but he used improper means to win the favor of the saint, annoyed the concubine, and insisted on punishing her to hard labor.

Concubine Zheng Guifei later gave birth to a son, who unfortunately died, and for some reason firmly believed that he was overcome by the King of Qin, so she regarded the King of Qin who was raised under her knees as an enemy, and the relationship between mother and son was particularly tense.

The old lady, as Concubine Hui's aunt, didn't take King Qin seriously at all, and it was inevitable that she would only entertain on the surface.

Chungui does not have the confidence of the old lady, she has a grudge with Zheng Guifei's father, the third master Zheng Huitang, is Zheng Guifei's cousin, who was reprimanded by the emperor by the emperor for returning to the spring, and was detained in the capital for strict discipline.

After all, King Qin respects Concubine Zheng as his mother, and of course his intention will make Chungui treat it solemnly.
