+++++++++++++++++++ what is the past (III) (bottom) dividing line?

After experiencing too much and training too much over the years, Liu Zhizhi hated the moment she knew the truth, but quickly adjusted, no matter how she couldn't let Chen Bihua see the joke: "Since he doesn't care about the two of us, it's really meaningless for us to fight for so many years." ”

"It's not a fight, at least the mourners never want to fight with you. In the past he was a man of Fernandes, but then he played with fire and was a filthy man who was eaten by a group of women. Either one, he couldn't get into it. The mourning family entered the palace just for the Chen family, you came to grab it, and the mourning family just had to fight back in that position, but there was no interest in robbing at all. ”

"You are still the high-flying Chen Bihua, Queen Mother! In that case, there is no point in what we say, what are you going to do with me and the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion. ”

"The Xiangyang Hou Mansion will still be the same, but you, the old Xiangyang Hou Lady, are only afraid that you will go to the bitter kiln to work as a coolie to atone for the innocent people who were killed by you. The Xiangyang Hou Mansion will soon have its own new and old Hou ladies in a year. ”

"What do you mean?"

"This is also a reward for the Marquis of Xiangyang. Because he secretly helped, I saved a lot of manpower costs. ”

"You said that old man was not ashamed to throw himself at you? When was this? ”

"Many years ago, when you enjoyed the three brothers of the Zou family in the Zou family."

"So long? Do you think I'm going to believe it? For ten years, you will not bear it and not clear the opponent for your son and grandson? ”

Chen Bihua looked at her, did not speak immediately, but stood up and walked to the window, looked at the gray sky, her eyes were full of gloom, and it took a long time for her to slowly speak: "This world is very lonely, and this palace is even more lonely. Sometimes it's fun to look at an opponent. What's more, you have really helped me a lot over the years, without your help, where would I have the opportunity to investigate the people in this palace. Besides, you think you have mastered the means to control the Marquis of Xiangyang, but you don't know that he has already put you on my table. A smug opponent, being deceived by others, is really interesting to watch. Why don't I look good if I have a good show?! Besides, you are not the only one who is worried about this big position, if there is no Liu Zhizhi, there will be Li Zhizhi and Wang Zhizhi who will come out to stir up the situation. Having you cut them off in secret and contain them is actually a good thing for the mourning family. If Du Guifei doesn't have you behind to support the emperor and envelop the emperor, I don't know how many more women there will be in this palace and how many opponents there will be. If it weren't for the fact that the Marquis of Xiangyang secretly acted in the army, many disloyal people would not have been revealed. The deeper those traitors hide, the more dangerous they are to great achievements, so after so many years, the mourning family should thank you for your hard work. If you hadn't taken such a big risk and made such a big fuss, the mourning family would have wanted to use you for another two years. Your people are much easier to use than the people in the military department. ”

Liu Zhizhi listened in a daze, and only came back to her senses after a while, and nodded sadly: "Now I know that even if you are not the Queen Mother, I am not your opponent, just rely on your patience." ”

In the main house of the inner courtyard of Fanghuazhai in Beijing, the eldest young master of the Tang family, Xintian, was looking at a plate of purple jade. The last time I went to Yizhou, I saw someone's purple jade head and face material crystal clear, and the faint purple color looked noble and elegant. He immediately ordered a large piece of rough stone to take back to Fanghuazhai in Beijing, and asked the master in the store to polish this set of head noodles. There is a phoenix hairpin in the head, the purple jade of the whole body appears transparent and has a colorful rolling at the same time, and a string of beads hangs on the phoenix, each of which is the same size, a total of ten, warm and elegant.

The shopkeeper of Fanghuazhai stood opposite, quietly looking at the young master, guessing who it was for. Although the young master of his family is not close to women, he has not heard who he has set in his heart, and it is only after this year's autumn hunt that he heard that Princess Jing'an in the palace is entangled with him. But this piece of rough stone was brought by the master to Beijing last year, and he asked Master Mao to think carefully and ask for a set of high-quality products. It can be seen that the young master has already decided who it is for, and it is definitely not Princess Jing'an.

"It can be seen that Master Mao is very attentive this time."

"Yes, this time, since the master took over the Mao Shi, Master Mao didn't sleep well for several nights, and he pondered for half a year before drawing the picture. This purple jade is too rare, in addition to the warm color, the key is that the texture inside is like flowing water, in different lights look like real water is flowing, these beads seem to be as lively as real water droplets. After the last time he passed it to you, he took it back and pondered for another two months before he started to do it, and it was just finished yesterday. This head is not only chic, but the purple jade is even more eye-catching, and I am afraid that it can only be suppressed by the right owner. The princesses and ladies in the palace are afraid that it will be difficult to pick out a few. ”

Xintian didn't speak, just glanced at the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper suddenly knew that he had overstepped it, which was a disguised probe into the master's private affairs, so he quickly bent his waist lower, indicating that he knew that he was wrong. Although this master was cold, but fortunately, he was generous, and he did not deliberately feel sorry for him when he took over this part from the age of fifteen. Fanghua Zhai location is good, the gold, silver and jade masters in the store are famous teachers, in several jade mines are rare veins, in the capital for decades, and the Tang family covers a lot less annoying things, the year-end owner is generous, and the dividends given are on the top of the top compared to the peers in Beijing, so he particularly cherishes this position.

But he is still very concerned about the marriage of his master, although the young grandmother will not necessarily interfere in the family business in the future, just like the current wife, except for returning to Beijing to bring her relatives to take advantage, although it brings some losses to the store, but it is nothing to Fanghuazhai. In normal times, my wife never intervenes, but it is inevitable that she will not marry a young grandmother like the old lady at the beginning, and the family is in power. This Fang Hua Zhai was taken by Mrs. Tang back then, from the hands of Prince Hua, and opened a store that was almost dragged down by Prince Hua's housework dispute into the first part of the capital, although this also has the diligence of his father's shopkeeper, but it still depends on Mrs. Tang to grasp the general direction.

This head is not only luxurious, but also beautifully colored, and at first glance it is not for the elders of the family, but for the young woman. The master was so attentive that it was obvious that the woman was in his heart. I don't know which lady could have such luck.

Xintian didn't care about the shopkeeper's inquiry. What he thought in his heart was that in this world, he was afraid that she was really the only one who could wear this head and face with style. Her natural beauty and outstanding bearing are not comparable to the princess in the palace. I just don't know if there's a chance to see her put it on. In the past few years, he has given her a lot of things, all of which are good treasures, but she has never worn them, just two or three sets of the most ordinary and simple silver jewelry. Even the girls around her mother and grandmother were more expensive than the jewelry she used. He knew that she was avoiding suspicion and deliberately kept her distance from him, the Tang family saved her life, she didn't want to owe them too much, and she didn't want people to think that she had an intention on the position of the young grandmother, after all, it was the beauty that the parents of many boudoir women's families were staring at. He also knew that his mother didn't want him to choose an orphan girl as his wife, not to mention that his wife needed to enter the palace for an audience sometimes, and her identity could not return to the court.

He felt that it didn't matter, it was a big deal to marry a wife who was satisfactory to his mother, marry her as a wife, and as long as he favored her, he couldn't wronged her. It's like my father, although he married his mother, but he didn't have her in his heart for a day. It's really hard for a woman like her mother to win a man's heart. All the father's heart was given to another person with whom he had a heart. He was confident that he could do the same. Just how do you let her know what he's going to do?

He respects her and wants to give her time to get used to it, so that she can see his heart and not care about the worldly concerns. As an orphan girl, unless she marries into an ordinary family, it will be difficult for her to marry into a wealthy family even if she has the protection of the Tang Sect. Instead of marrying a commoner to be tired, it is better to let him spoil her under his wing. For so many years, he had not rushed her, and even when he recalled in his midnight dream that she wanted her so much, he had never thought of offending her. When he couldn't help it, he just pulled a room to vent. But when he received the letter from his subordinates today, he wondered if he had done something wrong over the years and missed so many opportunities. Although they don't have any intimacy in public, the third brother is a very attractive man.

A sound of footsteps interrupted his contemplation, and he saw Xinye coming up from downstairs: "Big brother, you are really here, Jing'an took the two girls of Zhao Shangshu's family and the county lord of Jinyang to look for you in the old mansion, I heard that you came out to inspect the shop, so I had to send someone to send her over, and now she is afraid that she has come out of the warehouse and is coming this way." My people can't take the princess around the city, they can only send it to you, brother, I can only help you like this, and you will ask for a lot of blessings in a while, hehe. ”

Xinye looked at the purple jade head, and didn't say anything, he knew that nine times out of ten it was prepared by the eldest brother for Sister Lian, but it's a pity. Not to mention that Sister Lian has no heart for her eldest brother, even her mother will not allow her eldest brother to marry an orphan girl as his wife. Sister Lian will not be a concubine. The eldest brother hasn't understood these for so many years, and he is still immersed in the dreams he has weaved.

Xintian saw Xinye looking at the head, and thought that his brother reminded him that if he didn't want to give it to Jing'an, he would quickly put it away: "Shopkeeper Huo, you quickly put away this head and face and send it to the old mansion for me at night." The other things I asked you to prepare for the old lady and his wife were also wrapped for me, and they will be sent to the old mansion tomorrow for Uncle Zhu to pack in my luggage and that of my ninth brother. For other New Year's gifts to the elders of the clan, you have someone pack the box and send it to the Ping'an Warehouse in the afternoon to hand it over to the shopkeeper Liu, and ask him to send it back to Kansai for me. ”

"It's better to be a big brother, it's all prepared for my brothers, and it saves me a lot of brains. Every year this year's Boxing annoys me. The difference is either the silver or the trivial. ”

"yes, these things are very annoying. is still the third brother is powerful, a Li shopkeeper in the capital, and a Gao Fei in Xianyang City, he takes care of these things properly all year round, and he doesn't bother. Xintian sighed, in terms of employing people, he and Xiao Jiu are not as good as the third child. Maybe......

"Little insert a passover word, this, the two young masters hurriedly married the young grandmothers into the door, and someone will take care of these things."

"Hey, forget it, if this marriage is good, it's fine, if it's not good, you have to be a Buddha to offer, it's even more tiring. If you look at the ones my mother chose for my eldest brother, the ones you want to choose for me are almost the same. I don't look as good as Princess Jing'an! ”

"Do you want to like it, I let the Queen Mother make you the princess?"

"Big brother, you spare your brother, my brother still feels that the little peach in Xianyang City is more casual. The bad guy said that she didn't dare to go west. I heard that the princess's chariot seemed to be approaching the gate, but I hastened through the back door, so that the princess would tell her to go to the inn and the inn for an idle turn. ”

"You kid, just say that it's good if you come over to pick something for your grandmother, it's better to stay with you, Jinyang's heart is on you."

"Brother doesn't have that time, I still have to go to Jiqingxiang and Tianfulou to order snacks for grandma and Sister Lian. If we don't make up our minds today, we won't be able to get the goods when we leave, and we're finally going home. ”

Hearing this, Xintian didn't say anything more. She and her grandmother both like Ji Qingxiang's ham cake and Tianfulou's lotus seed cake, both of which are very labor-intensive, and the capital is a powerful family that does not make a decision two or three days in advance, and cannot get the goods. The brothers were finally able to get up and go home. Maybe because of his personality, he has never liked the prosperity of the capital like the ninth brother, and he rarely comes to the capital over the years. But in the early years of going out to run errands, he has never been nostalgic for Kansai, and now in the past few years, because Kansai can see her at home, he has concern and nostalgia for Tangzhuang, and the words of the ninth brother also cast a trace of joy in his bored heart, I am going home, and I will see her. No matter what happens between her and her third brother, it's always good to see her.
