Chapter Eighty-Five

When Bai Shao cleaned up the house, she, who was usually very good-tempered, couldn't help but breathe, "Where is this to search the house, whoever searches the house will take the girl's two taels of silver!" ”

Poria was more direct and scolded the bandits directly, but she quickly restored the room to its original state, and sat on the couch at night and continued to embroider needlework.

It took half an hour to finish the two small T-shirts, and embroidered a big bear on them, Zhiwan stretched his waist, and had the urge to sneak out to play with the two children, put away the sewing basket, and Zhiwan moved his wrist out of the door and went to the garden to enjoy the flowers.

In the garden, Zhiwan met Qin Zhixin and Qin Zhixue who were playing with butterflies, both of them were concubines, thirteen years old, less than the age of Xu Ren, and gave gifts to the lord of Lerong County, the two of them were not qualified enough, they were bored in the house, so they fluttered butterflies and kicked shuttlecocks in the garden to play.

Qin Zhixin pulled Zhiwan together, Zhiwan smiled and refused, she couldn't play with this little child's play, so she sat in the gazebo and watched.

The two of them were having a lot of fun fluttering butterflies, and in the distance, a maid hurriedly ran over, panting, unable to even speak, Qin Zhixue glanced at Zhiwan who was sitting in the pavilion, and asked with a smile, "How many dowries did the Song Mansion carry?" ”

The maid shook her hands violently, her face flushed, and after taking three or two breaths, she said, "When the slave maid went to see, the king of Yuejun happened to pass by in front of the Hou Mansion on horseback, and after saying a word, the Song Mansion carried the dowry back. ”

Zhiwan was drinking tea, and when he heard the maid's words, he almost choked to death, so Qin Zhixin urged, "You should say it quickly, what did King Yuejun say?" ”

The maid looked at Zhiwan, and tried her best to imitate Ye Guiyue and said, "The woman that the master doesn't dare to marry, does he want to tell the master when he marries back, he is more courageous than the master!" It just so happens that the master has nothing to do, so you can go to him to talk to him and loosen your muscles. ”

After learning from King Yuejun, I definitely don't even know my father. Everyone knows that the four girls scared away King Yuejun, the second young master of Song dared to marry, and his courage was indeed greater than that of King Yuejun, so he was angry and found fault. No one could stop it, how could the Song Mansion dare to marry, so he hurriedly carried the dowry back, for fear that he would be a step too late, and go back to collect the body of the second young master Song.

Qin Zhixin looked at Zhiwan, and there was a touch of sympathy in his eyes, if the king of Yuejun doesn't marry the fourth sister, he doesn't allow others to marry the fourth sister, can the fourth sister still marry?

Qin Zhixin comforted Zhiwan and said, "Second Young Master Song is not worthy of the fourth sister. It doesn't matter if you don't marry, maybe the fourth sister will be able to meet a person whose martial arts power is higher than that of the king of Yuejun, and directly step on the body of the king of Yuejun to marry the fourth sister. ”

Qin Zhixue burst out laughing, "It's broad daylight, don't talk in your dreams." Now that the emperor has taken the king of Yuejun, who else can you expect to dare to marry the fourth sister under the pressure of the king of Yuejun? ”

Zhiwan stood there, silent, depressed, but if you look closely, you will find that the corners of her mouth are slightly curved, and the bottom of her clear eyes is a faint helplessness and smile. How could he sneak to the door of the Dingyuan Marquis's mansion, and the ghost sent a god to say a word, and scared the team that sent the dowry to the door back, she racked her brains to vomit blood, and she was complacent for a while, but she died before it was staged? It's not worth the power of someone's words?

Zhiwan had a faint disbelief in his heart. I want to know even more, did he pass by the gate of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion intentionally or unintentionally?

Zhiwan was still pondering, and the maid with a blue and blue skirt stepped forward and saluted, "Four girls." The old lady is looking for you to talk. ”

Zhiwan took a deep breath, hoping that he would just talk to her, not find her fault.

In the rosin courtyard, Zhao was sitting there with a gloomy face, the ground was a mess, Qian's face was also heavy, in addition to the two of them in the house, the second wife Xiao Zhao was also there, and was comforting Zhao and said, "Old lady, don't be angry, King Yue said that in front of the family sending team, how could the Song family dare to marry the fourth girl through the door, even if the dowry was carried back, this family affair has already retreated, even if you are angry again, it will be useless, you will be angry." ”

Xiao Zhao is Zhao's maiden niece, when Zhao gave Yuan Hou married Qian, I felt that she was not easy to handle, and then when the second master married a wife, he picked Xiao Zhao, who knew the roots, and it was also a help to himself, before the Qin Mansion was not separated, Xiao Zhao was very rampant in the Hou Mansion, stammering with the old lady, almost seized the power of the Qian family, the Qian family really suffered a lot of Xiao Zhao's anger over the years, and later Dingyuan Marquis was the marquis, she was also in the Qin family's position unshakable, after holding the power of the Qin family in her hands, The first thing Qian did was to separate the second master's family, her original intention was to be far away, but unfortunately Zhao wanted the two brothers to take care of each other, what distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, begging Hou Ye to persuade the people in the courtyard next door to move out, let the second master's family live in, and even want to open up the two courtyards, cheap exchanges, how can the Qian family agree?

She is sure that with Xiao Zhao's person, as long as she is connected to the two mansions, she can definitely persuade the Zhao family, and in the future, the second room will take silver from the public, and the Qian family will never allow this matter, because of this matter, the Qian family has not made the Zhao family angry, but the Zhao family has no choice, after all, it is really inappropriate to do that, and then it will be over, but the two courtyards are close, and the Xiao Zhao family will come to the Zhao family every three or five times to say goodbye, and her two daughters will come every day to coax the Zhao family happy, in the eyes of the Zhao family, Qin Zhishan and Qin Zhiwen are no worse than Qin Zhiyu, what is there is a share of Qin Zhiyu, there is definitely a share of Qin Zhiyu and them, and even more than that.

For Xiao Zhao's consolation, Zhao's anger did not disappear but increased, slapping the table fiercely, I don't know if it was too hard, the painful Zhao had bruises on his forehead, and when he saw Zhiwan coming in, he was even more angry.

Zhiwan pursed her lips and stepped forward to ask for peace, and before Zhao scolded her first, she cried and asked, "Will Zhiwan not be able to marry in the future?" ”

Zhao's face stiffened, and if she wanted to scold Zhiwan, she couldn't scold her, even if she didn't like her anymore, this was her granddaughter, she couldn't get married, and her face was dull, Qian looked at Zhiwan coldly, "Finally, Second Young Master Song is willing to marry you, but now it's good, King Yuejun said that in front of so many people, who would dare to marry you back?!" ”

After Qian finished speaking, Xiao Zhao spoke, "Sister-in-law, don't scare her, it's really a coincidence today, who could have guessed that King Yuejun would pass by in front of the Hou Mansion and meet the team that gave the dowry, so I don't blame her for this, who is King Yuejun, and which lady in Kyoto doesn't know him?" The four girls stay in the yard all year round. If you don't go out of the door, you won't know King Yuejun and provoke him ....... ”

Zhiwan looked at Xiao Zhao gratefully, and saw Qian's dark face out of the corner of his eye. Hurriedly lowered her head, the corners of her mouth hooked up a sneer, she knew that Xiao Zhao was not willing to help her, but to suppress Qian with her hand, but Zhiwan admired Xiao Zhao's courage very much, and dared to ridicule Qian, why did she stay in the courtyard all the year round, and the gate did not go out? Is it because she doesn't want to go out? Who in the mansion didn't know that the Qian family disliked her and couldn't get on the stage, so she was not allowed to go out, otherwise how could she not know King Yuejun. Anyone who knows him, even if he doesn't take a detour, he will never have the courage to knock him out, and the so-called ignorant ones are not guilty, and they blame others in front of them. You have to reflect on yourself first.

Because of Xiao Zhao's words, the handkerchief in the hand of the Qian family was almost not torn, what position did she point at her, and how did she treat the concubine and the concubine, the two mansions were so close, and the daughter of the concubine came to ask the old lady every day, and the concubine and the concubine rarely saw it once a month. Qian sneered, "I was at fault, I didn't teach the concubine well, but she also knew that she came to the old lady every day to ask for peace, and even went to the Reclining Buddha Temple to copy thousands of Buddhist scriptures to pray for blessings, but it was you brother and sister." When the second girl and the seventh girl came, why didn't they see the daughters of the second brother? Even if you are unwell, you don't have to be sick for a month or two, right? Brother and sister, don't follow in my footsteps, but not anyone who provokes the king of Yue Jun can be safe and sound. ”

Xiao Zhao failed to suppress Qian's head, and was questioned. His face was a little ugly, but he didn't know how to refute it, so he changed the topic and said, "The Hou Ye is not here, otherwise he can go to the emperor to sue the king of Yue County, if he really withdraws from the Song Mansion, the fourth girl will really have no hope of marrying in this life." ”

The corners of Qian's mouth arced, and his anger was not as strong as before, a concubine's daughter, and he didn't expect her to bring any benefits to the Hou Mansion, so she was left in the small courtyard for two or three years, and when the king of Yue County married the princess of the county, he forgot about it, and then found someone to marry, but Xiao Zhao dared to provoke her, she was really good to bully, Qian smiled, "Hou Ye is not here, isn't there a second master?" Zhiwan is the most beloved daughter of the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Ye has also helped the second master over the years, he is not in the mansion now, how can the second master help a little? ”

Xiao Zhao's face stiffened completely, "Sister-in-law, our lord doesn't have the guts to provoke the king of Yuejun, aren't you forcing us to jump into the fire pit?" ”

Qian's face was smiling, very friendly, and he said without seeing the outside, "Although the mansion is divided, but the contacts are so close, my brother and sister think that if the king of Yuejun really takes the Hou Mansion, you can escape from the second room?" Before Hou Ye went out, I heard that the second brother wanted to enter the household, but now it is Hou Ye's baby daughter who is offended, and the second brother is not helping now, if Hou Ye is angry...... Forget it, I won't say anything so annoying, my brother and sister are transparent, how can you not understand, don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes. ”

Qian said, and glanced at Xiao Zhao with a smile, there is a powerful relationship here, no need to say it, she should also understand, Hou Ye dared to question the old lady for the sake of knowing the night, these years, the second room has taken advantage of the big house, and when it is their turn to contribute, they will shirk it in every possible way, how can there be such a good thing?

Xiao Zhao's stealing chickens this time was not a loss of rice, looking at Zhao, he said aggrievedly, "Mother, Master Hou has helped the master a lot, it stands to reason that the master wants to vent his anger for the four girls, but our old man is soft-spoken, if the performance angers the king of Zhennan, he will be relegated to ...... other places." ”

The Zhao family was angry, and the angry Zhao family couldn't speak, hit the muzzle of the Qian family, waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter, the king of Yuejun just said a word in front of the Hou Mansion, and he didn't force the Song Mansion to withdraw from his family, but the Song Mansion himself didn't have the courage to marry, even if it made trouble in front of the emperor, there would be no result." ”

If the emperor can do anything to King Yuejun, will he still be able to live to this point?

As soon as Zhao finished speaking, a maid came in outside, "Old lady, Mrs. Song is here." ”

Zhao Shilong frowned, he came in such a hurry, with the courage of the Song Mansion, it didn't matter if he retreated, Zhao took a sip of tea, and Qian didn't go out to greet him, waving his hand, and asked Wang's mother to go out to welcome Mrs. Song.

When Mrs. Song came in, her face was very bad, it was not what she wanted, she was forced to withdraw from her family, the Hou Mansion was so faceless, she only sent a housekeeper mother to greet her, where to put her face, Mrs. Song was angry, or stepped forward to ask Zhao for peace, and apologized, "Old lady, let the relationship between the fourth girl and my son stop here, King Yuejun, the Song Mansion really can't afford to provoke, I can't put my son in order to marry a daughter-in-law, the fourth girl is to marry my Song Mansion." Also....... ”

What is it too? Mrs. Song's words stopped here, it was also the life of a widow, Mrs. Song wiped her tears, she really didn't want to quit this family. The second young master of Song has a bad reputation, the daughter of a good family is not willing to marry at all, it is rare that the reputation of the fourth girl is poor, although it is a concubine, but I heard that it is the most beloved daughter of the Hou Ye, with the help of the Hou Ye, coupled with the pungency of the four girls, maybe the child will be lost.

After carrying the dowry back from the Song Mansion, the Zhao family knew that this family affair would be invalidated, and they were already prepared in their hearts. There was no special disappointment, her eyes looked at Zhiwan, and motioned for her to go up to greet Mrs. Song, but Mrs. Song only cared about coming in, and she didn't notice that there was a girl in the house. When I looked at it, I was surprised, "Good Peugeot girl, blessed old lady." ”

A smile crossed Zhao's eyes, especially Zhiwan's humble and arrogant salute, he was even more satisfied, it seemed that he had escaped from marriage for a year. After growing a lot, Zhao said to Mrs. Song, "I am blessed, but it's a pity that Second Young Master Song doesn't have such good blessings." ”

Mrs. Song was stunned, this is the fourth girl? Didn't you say that it was scary, how could it be. She looked more beautiful than the two girls, no wonder Tong'er was knocked out by her, and they all said that they wanted to marry her, but it was a pity that this good skin provoked the king of Yuejun. I'm afraid that no one will dare to come to the door to ask for a kiss.

Mrs. Song smiled regretfully, "Tong'er doesn't have this good fortune, I don't know whose young master has it?" ”

Zhao's face stiffened, his heart was blocked with a ball of gas, up and down, Mrs. Song saw that no one answered her words, the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, no matter how beautiful and blessed the four girls were, if they provoked the king of Yuejun, the blessing would be exhausted, Mrs. Song didn't want to delay more, and was about to get up and say goodbye, when the head manager of Qin outside hurriedly came in and said, "Old lady, Mrs. Huan is here." ”

Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, and Qian got up and said, "Yesterday, Mrs. Huan specially invited the Duchess of Liguo to come to the door to ask for marriage. ”

Mrs. Song's face was stiff, and she was stuffy in her heart, she didn't expect that with Zhiwan's reputation, after the Song Mansion was married, Mrs. Huan also invited the Duchess of Liguo to ask for marriage, but she also didn't take the Song Mansion in her eyes, Mrs. Song didn't leave, sipping tea, she wanted to see if Mrs. Huan really wanted to marry the four girls who didn't want her crippled son!

Zhiwan stood there, Qingling's eyes were dyed with doubts, she couldn't guess why Mrs. Huan came in such a hurry, she had said before, if she couldn't withdraw from the Song Mansion within ten days, she would need the help of the Huan Mansion, but now that she has withdrawn, there is no need for that!

Zhiwan was still distracted, but Zhao waved his hand to let Zhiwan go down, if it was really to say kiss to Zhiwan, Zhiwan should avoid it, this is a courtesy.

In fact, the number of etiquette is only one aspect, Zhao is a little worried that the party will be rude in front of Mrs. Huan, if it is really said that it is pro, this family business must not have the slightest problem, in Zhao's heart, that is, after this village, there will be no store.

Zhao bombarded her to go, can Zhiwan not leave, only to walk to the screen, Qian has already welcomed Mrs. Huan in, the smile on her face is like a flower, when she sees Zhiwan, she is even more loving, making Zhiwan a little trance, does Qian treat her as Qin Zhiyu?

Zhiwan asked Mrs. Huan to say goodbye, Mrs. Huan praised Zhiwan for seeing a lot more Peugeot than a few days ago, and she didn't let go of Zhiwan's hand at all, Qian couldn't help it, and at the same time asked Mrs. Huan to go in, she called Zhiwan in.

When Mrs. Song saw the smile on Mrs. Huan's face, and then looked at her attitude towards Zhiwan, she knew that what Qian said before was not to belittle her, but to really have something to do, and her heart was even more uncomfortable, and her words were much meaner, "Mrs. Huan doesn't really want to marry the fourth girl for Master Huan, right?" ”

Mrs. Huan is gentle, but also exquisite, and said with a smile, "The fourth girl treats people modestly and looks outstanding, I still have regrets when I said that I was with the Song Mansion, I didn't hear that the Song Mansion had withdrawn from the family, so I lost the matter of the house, and ran over, in case it was decided again, I have to regret it." ”

Mrs. Song was secretly angry, thinking that Mrs. Huan was deliberate, knowing that the Song Mansion came to withdraw because of the threat of the King of Yuejun, but she ran over, was she despising the Song Mansion for being timid and weak, Mrs. Song sneered, "The fourth girl is good, but the King of Yuejun is not so easy to mess with, I heard that the young master Huan wanted to seek death several times, didn't he hear that the King of Yuejun wanted to find someone to talk to, did he do it deliberately?" ”

It is said that beating people does not slap their faces, exposing people does not expose their shortcomings, Mrs. Song is slapping Mrs. Huan's face when she says this, saying that what she likes is not Zhiwan's appearance and talent, but the fact that Master Huan can't stand the cripple and wants to find death to seek relief, Mrs. Huan's face sank suddenly, Zhao's, Qian's and Xiao Zhao's all looked at Mrs. Huan, and they also had such a guess in their hearts.

Mrs. Huan's face changed from deep to gentle in an instant, she didn't need to be familiar with her, Zi'er's leg would definitely be cured, she was still suspicious before, especially yesterday, when Zhiwan asked people to send the drawings, Lord Huan also scolded her for messing around, how could there be such a young and skilled doctor, or a doctor who didn't even have a guy to treat diseases!

Which imperial doctor is not familiar with medical books for decades, the youngest doctor in the Imperial Medical Department is also in his twenties, and the four girls of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion are only as old, less than sixteen years old!
