Gu Shi coldly mentioned Xu Hongyuan, Xin Yao chuckled in her heart, and the good tea in her mouth had no taste for some reason.

She held her cheeks and hesitated for a long time before saying, "No news." I estimate that the little uncle will have to keep it for 7749 days before they come back. On the way back, I went to see three more shops, and it took about four months."

Gu Shi looked at Xin Yao's expression, knowing that his daughter was worried about the affairs in the south, so he joked: "I heard that Aunt Zhou's trouble, Jinjue Pavilion's business is much better, but is there such a thing?" ”

Xin Yao nodded and said slowly, "Where is there a lot?" It's far worse than Suzhou Mansion. But at the feet of the Son of Heaven, although there are not many customers, they buy high-quality products, and they are generous. ”

"My Yao'er will make money like this, and the dowry silver will save her mother a lot!"

Xin Yao took out a handkerchief, wiped the corners of her mouth, and dusted off the dim sum dregs on her body, and there was a smile on her face.

"Mother rest assured, I will not only earn back my own dowry silver, but also the silver of my two younger brothers marrying their daughters-in-law."

Gu Shi sneered and said: "Yes, you can, don't say it's your two younger brothers, it's you, your mother is ready, it's okay, don't talk about silver, your eyes will shine, I can't look down on this, a good girl's family, it's tacky, isn't it?" ”

Xin Yaojiao said with a smile: "Vulgarity is elegance, mother, silver is not omnipotent, but no silver is impossible!" ”

Gu sighed, stroked his forehead and sighed, how could he give birth to such a daughter who got into the eyes of money.

……

Outside the private room on the second floor of the Fu Ren Residence, there are three people who look like little servants, who are gossiping with all kinds of boredom.

In the private room, Yan Sixteen, Du Tianxiang, and Xiao Han sat around a table, and the table was full of twelve dishes and three pots of fine wine.

The three of them only drank alcohol and did not eat vegetables. You have a cup, I have a cup, and after a while, a pot of wine has bottomed out.

Yan Sixteen is dressed in a brocade shirt. The end is extraordinary, but the frown is not spreading.

"Ah Yuan has been gone for more than a month, and he hasn't even had a letter, and he doesn't know if it's going well?"

"You have to let people pass five or seven, one south and one north, separated by thousands of miles, and they won't go back often in the future. Besides, what do you do when you come back? A bunch of worries. Three years of worry, where to be comfortable, where to stay. Replace me with him. Anyway, being alone, not better than in the capital? Du Tianxiang rolled his eyes and said.

Xiao Han wanted to speak and stopped, and only said after a while: "Isn't his Jinjue Pavilion in Jinling and Yangzhou Mansion having branches?" Maybe I'll stop by and check it out. ”

Yan Sixteen was sullen. I took the flask, poured it full, and drank it all.

Seeing this, Du Tianxiang said without moving: "Sixteen, early next year, you will get married, be more restrained, how many pairs of eyes are staring." Don't trouble the second brother at a critical time. When you can save it, the two of us will accompany you to be punished. ”

Yan Sixteen was suddenly angry, and poured another glass of wine angrily, but only held it in his hand and played with it.

Xiao Han took the wine jug, poured it full of wine, and gestured to the two of them. The trio picked up the cups. I touched it and drank it in one gulp.

Xiao Han said in a low voice: "Recently, there have been a lot of people coming in and out of the mansion, and most of the officials in the DPRK and the central government have shown favor to him, and the momentum is strong, and he is the head of the house. We don't stand a good chance of winning. In the past two years, he has accepted four side concubines, all of whom are women from various families, and their ambitions are not small. ”

Yan Sixteen threw the cup on the table and sneered: "If the old man doesn't set up a prince for a day, he won't be able to accept more side concubines." When the Queen Mother was still there, the old man didn't set him up, and now that the Queen Mother is gone, the old man won't set him up. ”

Du Tianxiang pulled the folding fan on Yan Sixteen's side, opened it with a "snap", fanned it a few times, and said helplessly: "Don't forget, he has the biggest backer to control the six palaces, and he has the same surname as the Empress Dowager, and the mother family is powerful, so it should not be underestimated." ”

A cold ball appeared in Yan Sixteen's nose, and his face was not very good-looking.

"Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He, the old man is scruples. Xiao Han, what has happened to the Annanhou family in the past two days? ”

"There's no big movement, but the small movement is constant, all staring?"

Yan Sixteen said: "How is the Jiang family?" ”

Xiao Han looked at him meaningfully, paused and said: "Jiang Hongsheng is quite smart, and he has less contact with the Hou Mansion through the matter of Aunt Zhou that day, and I heard that he has recently accepted a concubine. ”

"Just don't get involved, it's not easy to explain when you get it. What about Miss Four? ”

"I don't know, Miss Qianjin, I don't go out much, and my brothers can't follow. However, after such a fuss last time, the business of the opposite door has been much better recently. It's a blessing in disguise. ”

Yan Sixteen frowned and said: "Let people keep an eye on it in private, in the future, the jade jewelry in our few mansions will be set in Jinjue Pavilion." The people below will know it. ”

The corners of Du Tianxiang's mouth drooped slightly, and he sneered: "Sixteen, the silver on the three of us, counting the private room, will not add up to more than the silver of the fourth lady." Just the idea of the hospital, in front of the money shopkeeper, I promise, the money shopkeeper will not blink. ”

"Have you been?"

When Du Tianxiang thought of this, he was a little depressed.

"Yesterday, I happened to be passing by, so I went in and had a look. Old Qian took me up to the second floor and took out all the treasures at the bottom of the box. Don't say it, compared to the style of your royal jade, it looks fine and chic, and it is pleasing. It's a pity that I don't have much money on hand, otherwise, I would have taken the jade plate. ”

When Du Tianxiang said this, he was especially unrelieved of his hatred, snatched the wine jug in Xiao Han's hand, poured himself a drink, and scolded: "Damn, Lao Tzu, I have worked hard in the Tai Hospital for a year, and I can't even afford a jade card, this life is really poor!" ”

Xiao Leng smiled again and again.

"If my aunt knew that you spent 10,000 taels of silver to wrap the two top cards, I don't know ......"

Du Tianxiang's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Cousin, cousin, you can't say it, you can't say it, you have to die." Mother's temper, you know, brother, I beg you! ”

"Alright, what do I do with your? Don't forget, the person behind it is the Great Prince. Let's just pretend, don't get stuck in and can't pull it out. ”

Du Tianxiang sneered: "I just look at them pitiful, at a young age, they have fallen into that kind of place." ”

Yan Sixteen looked at him with disgust, "It's okay to play, how many of the goods in that place are good?" At the end of the year, he made a lot of money for the boss, no wonder he was so generous. ”

Xiao Han nodded and said, "It's very profitable, and I have gathered a lot of people for him." But those who live by wine. It may not last long. ”

Yan Sixteen said: "I love to hear this." Let's have a drink, and an old man asked me to accompany my second brother to stay in the army for two months, which is probably a little interesting. The capital will be handed over to the two of you, so be sure to show me prison. When I come back, the brothers will be reunited. ”

Du Tianxiang and Xiao Han glanced at each other, raised their glasses, and drank them all.

……

The summer in the capital seems to be much shorter than the summer in the south of the Yangtze River. Just after July, there is a chill in the morning and evening.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, because it was the first Mid-Autumn Festival after Jiang's Mansion entered Beijing, the old lady attached great importance to it, and took the whole house to worship her ancestors early in the morning.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival. The eldest lord of Suzhou asked the housekeeper to send a boatload of fresh goods into Beijing early. The Hou Mansion of Annan, the Feng Mansion, and the Sun Mansion all gave Boxing gifts. What is surprising is that the Shen family in the capital also sent a housekeeper to send a gift for the season. The old lady discussed with the second old man and his wife for a long time, and picked some good Jiangnan specialties and silk in the eldest lord's festival as a return gift.

……

On this day, Xin Yao received an inexplicable gift.

Li Jun, Li's mother's son, got up in the morning and just left the house. A little beggar shoved something into his hand. After the little beggar said "Give it to the fourth lady", he disappeared from the crowd in a blink of an eye. Li Jun didn't dare to delay, turned around and went into the house and secretly stuffed things to Li's mother.

Xin Yao hesitantly took the brocade cloth and opened it to see that it was a jade Buddha connected with jade, water * drops, exquisite internal penetration, and exquisite carving.

Xin Yaoqi said: "Such a valuable thing, it can't be the wrong one, right?" ”

Mother Li said, "Can Miss guess who it is?" ”

Xin Yao shook her head. Put the Jade Buddha in his hand, play with it slowly, the touch was slightly cool, and he said after a while: "Mom, who do you say it will be?" ”

Mother Li smiled: "Why did Miss ask me in turn?" Mom, if I knew, wouldn't I be a fairy? Just pinch your fingers. ”

Xin Yao played with the Jade Buddha and said thoughtfully: "It seems that our every move is under the noses of others. ”

"Miss, what is the purpose of this person. Will it hurt us? ”

"What the intention, I can't guess it, there should be no malice, mom go get busy first, let me think about it."

After Li's mother left, Jiang Xinyao looked through the light carefully, didn't find anything abnormal, thought about it for a long time, and didn't come up with a reason, so she just threw it aside and didn't care about it.

……

In the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet in Jiang's Mansion, the masters were placed in the main hall of Guiyun Hall, and the people were placed in the courtyard, and four or five tables were set up lively.

The old lady sat at the head of the seat, and on the left hand side were Jiang Erye, Gu Shi, Jiang Xinyao, Jiang Yuanchen and Jiang Yuanhao, on the right hand side were Jiang Xinshan, Jiang Yuanhang, and at the bottom was the red embroidery that had just lifted the aunt.

The old lady was suspicious of few people, and it coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she specially called the red embroidery to sit in one place.

Red embroidery is sixteen this year, medium size, round face, quite a peugeot, was the granddaughter of the old lady's room, and has been waiting in front of the old lady since she was a child, which is a good face.

The old lady's Guiyun Hall, the gentlemen in the mansion are the most frequent Jiang Hongsheng in and out. Although the red embroidery and the second master Jiang did not have much intersection, they also looked up and did not look down, and they hid a little bit of their thoughts. Now that the aunt has been lifted, the slave has become the master, and he feels fulfilled in his heart.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone lost interest.

It turned out that Jiang Yuanhang, Jiang Yuanshan thought that it should have been the day of reunion, and her aunt was guarding the courtyard coldly, with a look on her face.

Gu Shi has always talked little, Xin Yao, and Yuan Chen are reluctant to say more.

The first time Hongxiu ate with the old lady and the second master, she was so nervous that she didn't know how to put her hands and feet, where could she still speak? lowered his head, eating the dishes in front of him, and only secretly looked at the second master from time to time with the corner of his eye.

Jiang Hongsheng accompanied the old lady to say something that was often funny. It's Xiao Yuanhao, who shouts for a while that this is delicious, that is delicious, causing a lot of jokes and making people look festive.

The old lady said that she was tired early, so she was helped into the room by the second master, and the others dispersed.
