Yue Zhongqi's story had been told, and Fu Heng was still immersed in the tragic and unbearable past, holding the already cold tea bowl with both hands and staring at the corner of the house and groaning. After a long time, he woke up, smiled to himself, and said, "It's so thrilling! And then? "The sixth master knows what happened later," Yue Zhongqi got up and refilled a cup of hot tea for Fu Heng, and sighed, "Later, I lost the battle with Tongbo, and I was stripped of my title and official position to Beijing to listen to the survey, and I never returned to Sichuan." I am the main general, and the crime of losing my teacher, humiliating the country, working for the people, and hurting money is beyond reproach. It is already a great favor for the Lord not to put me to death, and I should not have thought about it anymore. I just think that now that I am not old now, I should do more for my master, so that I can redeem my past mistakes a little and not have a lifelong grudge. The sixth master is a close minister today, if I can play this point of my mind to the master, Yue will not be in vain for today's painstaking conversation! With that, he snorted.

"Do you want to re-lead the troops and go to Jinchuan?" Fu Heng was stunned for a moment and asked.

Yue Zhongqi smiled bitterly, "Being able to be a staff member of the army and doing a little bit is enough!" ”

Fu Heng was thrilled when he heard this. Qingfu looked up and down about the matter of taking the lead and failed, although he did not sit down, but looking at his actions of not withdrawing his troops, the news that Ban Roll was not dead is true. It is difficult to guarantee that my relatives have been unable to protect these days, and I also want to lead the troops in Jinchuan as the Minister of Military Aircraft and make meritorious contributions to the field! Compared with the battle of Heicha Mountain, this messenger is simply one in the sky and one underground. If you can get this messenger in your hands and ask this veteran to join the army to participate in the council, it will not be a great achievement! He thought, so excited that he couldn't help but jump up, and suddenly thought again, what if his relatives thought the same way, what if it was good? Seeing Yue Zhongqi looking at himself with a surprised gaze, he hurriedly froze and said, "Don't think too narrowly, how can you be overly used today?" I waited before my master, what did I not know? The master still values you in his heart. Zhang Guangsi won a new victory in Miaojiang, and he was very favored by the master, no matter who the coach is in the future, he always has to rely on Zhang Guangsi. I have had a relationship with Zhang Guangsi, as long as I refuse to be his slave, no one can get along with him. If you are in a hurry to go out and become a subordinate to them, then it will be a disaster! Dongmei, if you hadn't poured out these heartfelt words tonight, I wouldn't have been like this. After the battle of Jinchuan is fought, the Lord will follow the example of the Holy Ancestor to conquer the Tianshan Mountains! There are many opportunities to send troops and release horses! I, Fu Heng, am not a villain, I will definitely do justice to you when the time comes, and I won't let you be wronged all the time......" While speaking, I faintly heard three dull afternoon cannons from the direction of Gongchentai, Fu Heng took out the gold watch in his arms and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's late tonight, I will face the saint tomorrow morning." If you have time, you can walk around my house. In three days, my son will be 100 days old, and you will be the first guest I will invite. ”

"The sixth master's words moved me." Yue Zhongqi saw him get up and say goodbye, and he also got up and said with a smile: "The sixth master has both civil and military skills, and he is smart, not to mention that Heichashan fought beautifully, even if he didn't have this battle, it is also admirable." I have read all the articles and regulations on the rectification of military and political affairs during your tenure in Jiangnan. You are a relative of the country, if I don't run to the house for no reason, wouldn't it be suspicious? Everything is about fate, and now that fate has arrived, it is naturally a different matter. Ling Gongzi Jiachen, I must go! ”

Fu Heng saw that the courtyard was very depressed, and said with a smile, "You didn't even bring a woman to wait by your side in Beijing!" Ming'er picked a few from my house and sent them over. Yue Zhongqi shook his head and smiled: "Sixth Master, don't do this!" I'm still a guilty person! The daughters of the family stayed in the old house in Chengdu to take care of my mother. These people around me are all old soldiers who have followed me for decades, and they take turns to serve me, and they can take care of everything—" He sighed as he pointed to an old soldier standing at the door with a lamp, 'You see, he is inconspicuous! He is a general who appreciates the top of the second grade! With that, he sent Fu Heng out of the gate. Fu Heng waved to Yue Zhongqi under the dim light and said, "Talking to you overnight, it's better to read for ten years, and we'll see you another day!" ”

Yue Zhongqi looked at the lights of the car car that was gradually moving away at the bottom of the stairs, and for a while he was grateful that Fu Heng was not arrogant or arrogant in his high position, and envied him for his youthful pride, and he entered the cabinet to worship the prime minister before the age of thirty...... For a while, he was cranky, and it was endless.

Fu Heng returned to the mansion and was already ugly. The little king was pacing around in front of the mansion with his hands behind his back, and when he saw the sedan chair falling, he hurriedly took a few steps and lifted the sedan curtain for Fu Heng, helped Fu Heng out of the sedan chair, and complained with a smile: "My lord, I will come back sooner or later!" Just now my dad called me in again and reprimanded me. Fu Heng saw that no one in Hefu was sleeping, so he asked, "Has anyone been here, why don't you sleep?" ”

"Lord Neqin has been here at the right time," Xiao Wang said as he walked, "he didn't say anything, and the minions naturally didn't dare to ask." The father-in-law of Bu Yi in the palace of nourishing the heart had dinner and sent the recital approved by the emperor as usual, and the slave was placed in the master's study. But he left Father-in-law Bu to say a few words, saying that Long Live Lord was unhappy for some reason, and said that the emperor met with a Westerner with a high nose, blue eyes, and yellow hair. Also, Le Lao Ye Lemin also came to worship, saying that Cao Xueqin and Cao Xianggong came back from the south and sent a few chapters of the newly written "Stone Record", wrapped in red silk, which was very precious, and the slave took it and put it in the master's study, and the rest of the more than a dozen relatives, the day after tomorrow is a good day for our little young master to catch Zhou'er, they came to give gifts, because the young master has not yet given a name, and said that he will make up the gift post when he has a name......" He paused slightly, and said: "I didn't care if there were a few people who slept lazily in the first half of the night, or our old man went from house to house to check, They all beat with crutches. He also said that we can't compare with Mr. Zhang's family even if we are not good! Saying that he had reached the head of the second door, the housekeeper Lao Wang Tou was in good spirits and came out of it, Fu Heng smiled at him: "You are seventy years old, you should rest early." I don't think everyone needs to stay up like this, just set aside a group to sleep during the day and wait at night. ”

"Yes!" The old king didn't talk as much as his son, and bowed down and answered, "Ming'er will do as the master instructs." ”

Fu Hengyin heard the cry of the child choking on milk in the upper room, so he walked in. Seeing a few nurses busy changing diapers next to the shaker, Fu Heng knew that he not only choked on milk, but also wetted the bed, and couldn't help but smile. Mrs. Tang'er was half-lying on the kang and pretending to sleep, and when she saw her husband coming back, she sat up, swept her sideburns, and said, "You will come back sooner or later?" Even if you don't sympathize with your own family, you should also think about others, and Lao Xiangguo is also a person in his seventies. There was a mistake on the spot, and it didn't look good up and down - the ginseng soup left for the old man on the hanger was brought over! It's not that I said you, three or four nurses can't even take care of a little baby, I really don't know how you are a messenger! - Give it to me, child! A few servant women blushed and said nothing, and gave the child to Tang'er in a sneering manner, and were busy pouring foot washing water for Fu Heng and serving ginseng soup. Fu Heng took a sip of ginseng soup and put it aside, and said with a smile: "Child, what's the matter of crying twice?" You have also learned the old woman's tongue now, and the chatter is endless! I went to Yue Zhongqi on order today, comforted him and asked him about the military by the way, and listened to a very moving story! Seeing that there were two red cloth buns on the case, he asked, "Who sent this, and what is it?" ”

"That big bag was brought by Le Sanye, and there are a few chapters of "Dream of Red Mansions" in it." Tang'er pursed her lips and smiled, "Le Min went to Prince Yi's mansion, and Prince Hongyan hasn't read it yet, knowing that you like this book, I will show it to you first, and I will send it over." There is also a purse embroidered by Fang Qing for the child, and a pair of shoes with mille-feuille soles were specially made for you! - You have to take care of it! That small bag was brought by Gao Heng from Shandong, I didn't ask, and I didn't bother to look at it, who knows what! ”

Fu Heng smiled when he heard this, Gao Heng was courteous in front of Tang'er, or Tang'er told him, he opened the bag and looked at it, but it was about two catties of good ejiao, so he pushed it to Tang'er and said, "The official doesn't give gifts, not to mention that we are relatives with him?" He didn't have a good heart, you should be on guard first, and first say irresponsible things to yourself in shock - Ejiao is still a good thing, and you can just accept it if you send it. Tang'er said: "I don't like his things, it's so disgusting!" Since it is a good thing, you put it away, if you go out to lead the troops again, maybe you will meet someone better than Juanjuan, and then you will make love to me and me before the moon, wouldn't this Ejiao be more useful? After saying that, he wiped his tears with a handkerchief. Seeing that there was no one around, Fu Heng hurriedly came over and took her in his arms, stroked her hair and whispered, "I love to see you coquettish and petty." I also know that you are lonely, and the opportunity to be close like this is rare. There is a point here: I am a Manchurian, and I am the younger brother of the main palace mother. This identity is inherently easy to recruit people to talk about long and short, a 'national uncle', the messenger does a good job, people say you have internal help, and the messenger smashes people say that you have internal help, and you can't do it well, and the horizontal and vertical are not good. What's more, I became such a big official at a young age. How many can there be from ancient times to the present day? If you don't work hard, isn't it heaven to live up to it? To put it mildly, if I were to accompany you every day, and now I am still an uncle of the Minister of Loose Rank who eats idle meals, would that kind of day be very interesting? ”

"Let's go!" Tang'er didn't wait for him to finish, flicked Fu Heng's face with her fingers, and smiled "Huh", "I blame you for being so busy in the dark, don't trample on your own body and bones." Who cares about you but me? is like Yue Zhongqi, a bad old man, telling a story will make you sleep in the middle of the night. Look at Zhang Xiangye, no matter how little sleep you have, there is an hour. In addition to the holy decree, no one wants to be alarmed, and every meal has an imperial kitchen and imperial doctor to make medicinal food. There is also a relative, an official like you, you see him stuffy like a gourd, more healthy than you! The monthly food is one hundred and twenty taels, and I also invite a Western Lang to check the pulse from time to time......"

She babbled and "complained" that Fu Heng would not be able to nourish herself, Fu Heng just hugged her and squinted to listen, slowly, she was already breathing evenly and snoring slightly, and she still murmured in her mouth, "I'm strong...... Where is it useless for a while? There are some places that you can't pay attention to, so you have to worry about it...... I'm still thinking about copying Xueqin's "Dream of Red Mansions...... Yiwangfu sent it over, copied it and hurriedly returned it to others......" Tang'er saw that he couldn't sleep, and even worried about these little things, so he smiled along his tone and said: "I can save it, Prince Yi has suffered Honghui's loss, and now he hasn't turned over." I'm waiting for you! Don't talk about the prince, even if the Internal Affairs Office comes to our house in the form of a pen post, the smoke and tea reward does not dare to be short-lived...... You are now Xiangguo, and I also know that your mind wants to be a famous minister, and the big and small things in the family can only help you, not distract your heart. Cao Xueqin's family Fangqing gave birth to her firstborn son and gave fifty taels of bonuses, and Qian Du came last month, saying that she had it again, and sent it as a previous example...... This Fang Qing is also yes, others are rushing to us, she is familiar with the door, and she usually doesn't even come to see her...... Maybe you're too busy after seeing you...... Actually, I don't like to put on a lady's clothes. The last time my relatives came to give a congratulatory gift, I sent him a distant nephew, and I said a few words to him through the curtain......"

Tang'er had a ride without talking to coax Fu Heng to sleep, listening to him no longer answering, quietly pulled out, personally lit the incense, touched the kang, tiptoed to the porch, and instructed the fire-burning woman: "The master will not change his clothes tonight, and then it will be a little hot, continue the fire evenly, and be careful to make a sound." He turned around, put three incense sticks on the statue of Guanyin, prayed a few words silently, and turned back to the kang to blow out the lamp, but heard Fu Heng ask: "My relatives never accept gifts or give gifts, he has been diligent recently, what does it mean?" What did they say? Seeing his eyes blazing, Tang'er felt funny, and said with a smile: "You scared me, look at what time it is, why don't you hurry up and be confused for a while?" I didn't see my relatives. Listen to your absence, and the people will go. One of his nephews can say anything other than a carload of good things? You're careful, too! ”

"That's not what I said," Fu Heng put his hands on his arms, let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "I already have something in my heart, and I missed the sleepiness." You don't know, my relatives have been enthusiastically leading troops to Jinchuan to quell the rebellion for a while, and I am afraid that I will fight for this messenger......"

"Are you still fighting for this messenger? You are already a person who has led soldiers, and you have won another battle, so you should accept it when you see it! No wonder the last time a few counties in western Sichuan came to introduce, you were receiving and staying, I still felt strange in my heart, and the governor didn't have this heat! Do you also ask the doctor of the Tai Hospital to write a prescription to prevent snake bites, mosquito bites, and miasma...... Dare Qing is planning to be a marshal to lead the troops and release the horse! Fu Heng listened to her words and words, even consolation and ridicule, couldn't help but smile, just said, "It's really a woman's knowledge-" Tang'er said: "As long as a woman's knowledge is right, you should listen to it." I see that you are addicted to the battle of Heichashan, and you forgot Fu Erdan of the seventh uncle's family in the old third courtyard, what a smart person he was, he fought for twenty years, and finally died in Kobdo! It's Yue Zhongqi, who is a famous general in my dynasty, and he still loses the battle! You sent troops to fight Heichashan, some people said that you made a mistake in using troops, and the court wanted to lower the punishment, I am not afraid! I'm afraid that you will lose your life, and the court will count you down! What's the fun of being embarrassed to hit a guy? You still expect another female swordsman to show mercy to you, to give you an internal response, and to hang your arms in the peach blossom forest......"

Fu Hengxian was still smiling, and slowly his face changed color, and when he saw a few girls and old women next to the smoke cage outside, he probed his brain, and said sharply: "Get out!" "I was about to have a seizure, but I calmed down again. Although he didn't know the ambiguous relationship between Tang'er and Qianlong, the queen and the queen mother loved this Yipin lady for ten minutes, and they entered the palace twice in three days to talk and play cards to relieve the boredom of the masters of the two palaces, which was very decent. If she has a seizure, firstly, she will make people laugh, and secondly, her temperament will be revealed when she enters the palace, and even the emperor will know that she has no prime minister's measure. He slowly changed his face again, touched Tang'er's shoulders with both hands, and said softly: "You and I have always been affectionate, how can you be petty?" As soon as I said that, you brought me a cart of bricks and tiles, and it was as if we were divided. That's not good, is it? Last time, I took you to see Mrs. Hengchen, the old lady's virtuousness, the unhurried gentleness, and the warmth of treating people, you came back and said that the prime minister's internal assistance should be unambiguous, and you have to learn a little - why forget it in a hurry? A word reminded Tang'er, she was stunned for a moment and then a little embarrassed, and whispered: "People are not for your good, but for those who have no conscience, they blame me!" If you don't let the Prime Minister of the Peace do it, and you want to get a knife to make the gun work, can you reassure people? "The prime minister is not the same as the prime minister." Fu Heng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Zhang Tingyu has been working hard for more than forty years since he entered the study, and now he is just an earl. There are no field exploits, and they are careful to do errands, and the things that are behind them are nothing more than that, and the prime minister is definitely not hereditary. Tuhai, the great general in front of the first emperor, defeated Chahar in one battle, and Pingliang City in another battle, and awarded a first-class duke, and the temple is hereditary! I won't talk about you, I won't have to suffer anything in this life, that's because the master is treating us now, and you dare to ensure that our children and grandchildren will be reused by the court, the emperor's favor? I'm planting blessed fields and planting big trees for my children and grandchildren! Now I am just a viscount, and this viscount is not earned by me on an errand in Jiangnan, nor because of the palm print at the military aircraft, or because of my exploits in Heicha Mountain! Whoever has a knighthood, a private house can be called a palace. Ji Yun's ruffian pointed at me and just smiled, and said: "What kind of "palace" is written on Fu Liuye's forehead, that is really outstanding! I thought about it and smiled. All he said was the word '**'......"

"The first Liu Xiaolin, and the second Ji Xiaolan, are all narrow ghosts!" Tang'er thought of Ji Yun's tall and fat big man, a pair of round black eyes, and a treacherous appearance when he spoke, and couldn't help but smile, "No matter how good it is, it will change the taste of his tongue as soon as he chews it, just this one, among the literati, I also want to praise Xueqin, her talent and temperament are all good, how dignified and decent......" Fu Heng personally poured a cup of warm tea for Tang'er to rinse his mouth, and said, "You didn't read their books, if you talk about Wen Li, it's still better for Ji Yun." Although he is funny, he follows the way of Confucius and Mencius everywhere in his work and writing, and does not deviate from the norm at all. Xueqin was born at the wrong time, her family suffered a tragic change, she was lonely and angry, and her talent was vented from "Dream of Red Mansions", which was not in line with the world, and it was rare for Confucius and Mencius to enter his eyes, and the article was full of color, dazzling, and fascinating! If it is beneficial to the people of Xiaolan in preaching the holy way, it is not as good as Xiaolan......"

"Stop! Who will write with you, and your mother-in-law will evaluate the text! Tang'er interrupted Fu Heng's reverie meditation, sipped tea and said: "-I didn't care about it, but when you say this, we can also earn a Guogong, and hang a Guogongfu sign on the door!" There is a way for a husband to sing and a wife to follow, you have this heart, why can't I fulfill you? Didn't you tell the emperor a letter about your ambition? ”

Fu Heng was half-crooked on the kang, staring at the ceiling without saying a word, and said for a long time: "The lawsuit that is right up and down is still going on." Qingfu gritted his teeth and said that Ban Roll was dead, but he refused to withdraw the army. In addition to government affairs, everyone is singing this drama. On the stage, off the stage, beating the drum board and playing the gong, they are all secretly exerting their strength. Zhang Guangsi actually said that he asked the imperial court to send someone to verify the facts, but in fact, he was the most enthusiastic about the title of general, and he and Zhang Guangsi were actually most afraid that I would rob it. If someone is jealous as soon as I stretch out my hand, whoever this red rice ball falls into, they will stare at it! So you advise me to settle down, I'm afraid I'll be better if I'm cold! After that, he stretched his waist and said, "It's really not early, let's rest, there is still time to finish?" ”

Tang'er was so teased by her husband's words that she couldn't sleep. The words "Grandpa Guo" and "Duchess Guo" only linger in my heart, and a single "Prime Minister's Wife" has no taste - Jiangnan Guanfeng is poor, and her husband is beautiful, that is because he has the wisdom of Wenchen, Shanxi Heichashan was captured in a battle, and no one has fought such a beautiful battle against bandits since the Yongzheng Dynasty, that is because he has the talent of a military general. Even the person who couldn't stand a fart with three feet wanted to do this, but he stopped the man! She pursed her lips, as if laughing at herself, as if she wanted to laugh. Thinking of his son, his heart is even more hot and unbearable - since everyone is more energetic, let's compare who is talking "inside", thinking of Qianlong, his face turned red again. I wonder if he's still thinking about himself now? Gao Heng came to the house before going to Shandong to gossip, saying that the emperor has now promoted Xu Dehe to the doctor of Guozijian, and entered the East Palace, not because the surname Xu is good for learning, but because the Xu family's lady Wang is the emperor's friend, every time the emperor goes to Baiyi Nunnery to incense, he has a tryst with her there...... I don't know if it's true or not, but the men are really unbelievable here,...... In a moment of cranky thought, he fell asleep.

The next day, Tang'er woke up, and it was already Chenzhengshi. Tang'er has something on her mind, she has made up her mind to enter the palace last night, and asked for an envoy for Fu Heng in front of the Queen Mother Lafayette and the Queen, and she wanted to get up and leave, but at the moment she hesitated: The Empress Dowager never received the wife in the morning, so she rushed to ask for an envoy, wouldn't she be in a hurry? Besides, the court has not yet discussed this matter, so it is unreasonable to say it recklessly...... She sat in front of a large, half-human-tall glass mirror and looked at herself as she thought.

This is a beautiful young woman's face, with a melon seed face, apricot eyes, and two smiling eyes next to her small lips, which are visible when she purses her lips. Because of the maintenance, the delicate skin is like clotted nephrite, with a light red in the whiteness, and the young woman's face is faintly full of girlish charm. She picked up the rouge and picked a little bit of it in her left palm, looked at her cheeks, shook her head slightly, and only wiped it lightly on her lips. He sipped his slightly fluffy sideburns, sucked his lips in satisfaction, wanted to laugh, and stopped. She picked up the eyebrow pencil, stared sideways at her face repeatedly, and only lightly traced her eyelashes before putting them down. She remembered Qianlong's words, as long as there are no scars or scars, a woman's eyes are good-looking, and excellence is only the charm between the eyebrows. No matter how careful you are with your eyebrow pencils, it is easy to expose straight, shallow, and ugly, and some women are only worried that their eyebrows are thin and not charming, so they draw and depict, but they don't know that they have lost their nature; The original charm of the eyebrows is gone. She carefully opened a gold box, took out the French eyebrow pencil given by Qianlong, and gently wiped it, aggravating the midline of her eyebrows, and slightly raising a little wrinkle towards the center of her eyebrows. Sure enough, the already delicate face like a flower added a hazy feeling, like a flower showing its charm in the fog. Seeing the big girl Qiu Ying holding her clothes behind her, she was stunned and smiled: "Why are you in a daze?" As long as that pine flower silver and red gown, plus a milky yellow shoulder, you hold such a bunch and sell clothes? ”

"I see my wife dressing up, it's really beautiful, ten times better than the lady painting Qiu Shizhou painted in that room! Originally, my wife was beautiful, and this makeup, tsk...... Just now I was thinking, the peony flowers I picked are beautiful, they are not as fresh as the ones that grow on the ground, and I have to spray them with water......" she said while smiling and dressing Tang'er, "My wife looks good in whatever clothes she wears, but it's cloudy today, and there are already snowflakes outside, so this piece of windy hairy Tianma Pikan shoulder is more suitable, this orangutan felt is only prepared, and it's cold outside!" ”

"I'm twenty-five or sixteen years old, and I still pay attention to what is beautiful or not, and people don't laugh when they go out." Tang'er changed her gown and put it on her shoulders and smiled, "Is it snowing outside?" The old man loves snow the most, and instructed the old king that no snow is allowed to be cleared. No footprints are allowed in this courtyard. There is a fire on the side of the reading pavilion by the sea in the West Flower Hall, and the master may go over there to live. You send two girls to clean up, re-paste the window paper, and I'll go over. After that, he went back to the room, took out Cao Xueqin's manuscript and folded it neatly on the kang table, locked the shoes made by Fang Qing into the box, and came out with the bag of ejiao. As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and came out.

Qiu Ying followed out, squatted behind her with a smile, and said, "Mrs. forgot, the ex-aunt sent a purse to report the good news, their second grandmother had already given birth to a child, and Mrs. also gave her twenty taels of rulers." This is for fetal protection, the slave maid is bold, beg the wife to reward the slave maid a little, my second sister has a three-month body-" Before she finished speaking, Tang'er smiled. "I remember, your second sister, is the one who sent me old corn and old gourds in the autumn? Pity all those who see her! - I remember the wine dates she sent last year, and the lord said that it was good, but the grapes were good to my spleen and stomach, so let her send some more next year. Qiu Ying hurriedly squatted down to thank the reward, smiling with joy. said: "The second sister has been rewarded by his wife, she said that when she was a child, she followed my mother to serve Fujin in the old prince's mansion, and Fujin is also benevolent, but it is not as kind as Mrs. Yicheng. Compare the two and they will go down! Her family specializes in fruit trees, and since the old lady has the right spleen and stomach, she asked them to set up a garden for you! ”

Tang'er listened to her greeting words from the full car, and just laughed secretly in her heart. Walking down the stairs in a big hat, when I looked at the sky, it became more and more cloudy, and the snow flakes like goose feathers were big and soft, and they were blown by the wind and swirled around. Fu Heng's three concubines, Yin Zi, Yan Hong, and Chun Fang, were all chatting with the nurse in the east chamber, teasing the young master, and seeing the wife come out through the glass, they all came out to greet her. Tang'er didn't look at them anymore, only smiled, "Don't always surround the young master, his villain can't stand it." Yan Hong hurriedly said: "The baby is too lovely, and he can't complain about us." But as I said, the young master will be 100 days after tomorrow, and the names of the gift posts sent outside are empty, so it won't be called 'baby' when the time comes? The old lady has to hurry up and come up with a good name - with an official seal, a grand and blessed longevity, loud and catchy......" Tang'er smiled: "Then there will be naturally." Seeing Chunfang standing aside with a big belly, he said, "You go back and rest, you don't have to stand in front of the master and me in the future." ”

Tang'er instructed the housework, and only took the two old women out of the west door to the reading booth to check the layout. As soon as I went out, I felt the cold air, looking at Haizi from afar, there were already willow branches hanging snow, Qionghua was all over the ground, Tang'er smiled: "Thanks to this orangutan felt, the courtyard and the courtyard are not cold and hot," because he saw the old Wang Tou walking into the second gate with a group of long-term followers, beckoned over, and asked: "We are in a few Huangzhuang in Kazuo, why didn't anyone come to send the New Year this year?" ”

"Back to Mrs.," the old king hurriedly shook his waist and replied: "I reported that I came back on August 15, and the old man said that this year's New Year is not good, and there are big floods in several places in other provinces, and there are droughts, and some bad people are making trouble, and several Huangzhuang in Montenegro almost made trouble. Tell Zhuang Tou to re-calculate, some of the old, weak, lonely and widowed, disabled and sick can be spared. They just reported it again yesterday, and the old lady is busy, and I am ready to go back to my wife in the future, and ask my wife to decide! ”

"Have you seen the list? I'll see. ”

"Yes!"

The old king hurriedly agreed, took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, and held them with both hands, and when Tang'er looked at it, it read:

12 pieces of white fox skin, 300 pieces of mink skin, 300 pieces of sable skin, 500 pieces of sable skin, a total of 2,200 pieces of rice paper, 1,000 pieces of Song ink, 50 sets of lake pens, 20 sets of inkstones, 20 boxes of bamboo fans of Xiangfei (for the lord to reward people), 30 ancient swords, 30 jade heads, 500 pieces of lake silk, 600 pieces of river silk, 12 pieces of Dadong pearls, 20 kg of ice antlers, 20 catties of purple Huoluo Dan, 100 boxes of deer placenta cream, 60 boxes of ginseng, 30 catties of ginseng paste, 30 pairs of live deer, two pairs of bear bile, 20 pairs of bear paws, 30 pairs of white rabbits (send my brother to play), 120 urns of yellow rice, 5,000 catties of jade tooth glutinous rice, 5,000 catties of japonica rice, and a statue of Yushou Buddha, two feet four inches high, one statue of Guanyin, two feet six points high

Tang'er's eyes were dazzled and asked, "How much is the net silver?" ”

"In the future," said the old king, smiling, pointing to the next page, "in addition to gold and silver utensils and wine utensils, two thousand gold bills, ten thousand silver bills, three thousand taels of small silver slots, and two hundred or forty-eight thousand taels of silver." ”

Tang'er still patiently read the list, thinking in her heart, and said in a tone that was neither soft nor hard: "I was not in good health before, and I didn't ask about housework. From now on, don't bother the master with these trivial things at home. There is your son on the façade outside, and you still put the boss at the helm, and you are still in charge of the income and exit accounts within twenty taels, and the rewards and punishments of the servants in the family. The girls and mothers-in-law within the second door are all cooked by Qiuying, Qiushuang and the three aunts in my room. It doesn't matter if you make mistakes, as long as you don't deceive the Lord and don't hide your selfishness, I can tolerate it. ”

"Yes!" The old king hurriedly said: "I have something to ask my wife to show me." I don't know how to distribute the money this year? Lao Lai's family, Cheng Fugui's family, Huang Shiqing's family, the man died when he followed his master to Shanxi. These families have four or five babies, they are not born in our family, they are divided into sins, although the master rewards each person with a string per month, and the wife and children are not enough to eat and drink. Yesterday they came to me crying and wanted to ask the children to take over the errands. There are more than a dozen households in the East Lower Courtyard, all of which are orphans and widows, and they are all pitiful, and they all have to be dealt with by the master. When the wife said so, she asked for her grace. ”

Tang'er tightened the strap of her cloak and said as she walked, "I'm going to talk about this when I look for you." The old man went to Shanxi with twenty-four long-term followers, one died of illness, three died in Heicha Mountain, and five were injured. Although it has been appreciated, it is not the norm. I think that the reward for the blood and the sweat and the tears will be separated. The three families of the Lai family, the Cheng family, and the Huang family not only cannot be poor, but also want them to become rich and give them enough dignity and honor. I will give it to these three families for twenty taels of money every month, and according to this example, the mother-in-law of the three families will allocate sixty taels of silver, just like me! The old king's eyes widened when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Ah," and hurriedly said, "Yes!" Tang'er said again: "The five injured people, in addition to their original monthly cases, plus ten taels and twelve taels, are on par with your two current monthly cases." Following the master to send troops to release horses, the family can't help but worry and worry, this is tears, each person adds five or two months per month. This is the great truth of what the heavens have passed and the earth has done, so it doesn't matter whether you buy it, or you get it from the sin, or you are a slave with a child, whoever follows the master to send troops to release horses, cut off heads and spill blood, must be different from others! The rest of the people who went to Shanxi were rewarded with silver but not land, and those who bought land were not rewarded with silver, and each person was rewarded with eighty taels of silver. That old Feng Danshui was lame, I thought it was the old cold leg, so I asked someone to ask, it was the old man on the back of the mountain who called Jing Shu'er to pierce the instep of his foot! In this way, those who suffer for the Lord must be raised according to the example of the dead, and they will be rewarded with houses and land, and if the children are promising, I will ask the lord to go out and be an official. All this silver came out of the Zhuangzi. As for some of the slaves, who are poor, old, lonely, and have a low monthly rate, they will be allocated from the money of the officials and at your disposal, depending on the situation, which is different from the grace in front of you, and your heart will be refreshed! ”

The old king listened and agreed, but he was only surprised in his heart: this noble lady has never asked about such trivial matters, why did she suddenly make such a move today? It was expected that some slaves from the conscription said something later, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Shengming, our family is no better than those nouveau riche, and we never treat slaves badly." Only the slave knew that there was no one who was so poor that he couldn't open the pot. The slave is a person who has been used by the old man's family for three lifetimes, and he has never dared to give himself a ...... on silver money."

"Where do you think of it! If I can't trust you, can't I find a new butler? Tang'er stopped his confession with a smile, "It's all my idea." Last time, the old man went to Shanxi to quell the chaos, and picked a few sturdy people to follow, either because there were corns, or because of the cramps in his legs and feet. When the war returns, if there is no difference in grace, who will follow the death force in the future? - Let's do it! With that, he stepped on the snow and entered the moon cave gate of the West Garden.
