Feeling something against her thigh, Zhiwan's flushed face turned red again, and he scolded shamelessly in his heart, but he didn't dare to move any more, and said in a low voice, "You let go of me, you are like this, I can't speak." ”

Ye Guiyue was also worried that he would not be able to hold it, and after Zhiwan imprinted a kiss on his earlobe, he let go of his arms, Zhiwan hurriedly jumped three feet away, sat down at the table, poured him tea and drink, and then asked, "What is your gift list for my father?" ”

Ye Guiyue took a sip of the tea, the tea was fragrant, and it eliminated the dryness and heat, "Some of the bribes that the second master of the Qin Mansion accepted when he left Beijing on an errand. ”

Zhiwan could also guess a little, if it weren't for the big thing, her father wouldn't be so angry, "It shouldn't be as simple as accepting bribes, what did my second uncle do?" ”

Ye Guiyue raised his eyes to look at Zhiwan, a bewitching smile flashed in his eyes, talking about the second master, it turned out that half a year ago, the second master went to Qizhou on an errand, the prefect of Qizhou helped him pick up the wind and wash the dust, gave him gold is not counted, and gave him a dancing girl, the second master came to Qizhou for a period of leisurely days, promised that the dancing girl would come to pick her up into Beijing, who wanted that after the second master returned to Beijing, he did not send anyone to find her, it was a coincidence that the dancing girl was pregnant again, this is not, he hired a carriage to enter Beijing, and the dancing girl did not like to be low-key, and he panicked all the way and said that the road was lost, If you want to live in the post station, you don't know how she stays elsewhere, but Lizhou is his territory, and when he took over Lizhou, he sent secret guards to guard the post station.

This morning, he was blocked from mentioning his relatives, and the secret guards under his hands were all gearing up, eager to catch Dingyuan Hou and force him to agree, but Dingyuan Hou will be his father-in-law in the future, so he must be respected, and he can only find another way. Dingyuan Hou is such a younger brother, he will definitely give in.

Zhiwan heard Ye Guiyue talk about it, her mouth opened wide, and she had also met the second master. looks thoughtful, looks upright, would do such a thing, it's really unseemly, knowing people and knowing faces don't know their hearts, it's a loss for the second wife to lick her face and slap her for his promotion, "Then my second uncle should be a corrupt official, why don't you report him?" ”

Ye Guiyue twitched the corners of his mouth, and Zhiwan's face was full of embarrassment. "When I didn't say it."

He is really hopelessly stupid, there are a few officials with clean sleeves, besides, it is not his turn to report this matter, and it is not his turn to be a county king, and one is not happy. Directly disposed of, no one dared to say that it was wrong, Zhiwan thought of the Furong banquet, the prince of the prime minister provoked him, he casually shook out the matter of the private soldiers in the palace of the prime minister, he was not afraid of offending the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty at all, but the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty were afraid of him. couldn't help but look at Ye Guiyue and said, "Those ministers don't dare to mess with you, it shouldn't be because you are arrogant, but because you have their secrets in your hands, right?" ”

Ye Guiyue's enchanting phoenix eyes flashed with surprise, and he looked at Zhiwan earnestly, and Zhiwan's slender eyelashes trembled slightly. Like a butterfly fluttering its wings, Ye Guiyue pinched Zhiwan's nose and said with a smile, "If I master their secrets, even if I kill the monarch and seize the throne." None of them dared to crusade against me. ”

Zhiwan pulled down his hand, she didn't know if what he said was true or not, she also wanted to ask her father if he had any secrets, such as the matter with Su Xiangwan, the eldest lady of the Su family, Zhiwan poured tea for Ye Guiyue diligently, and then said, "You help me find out why the eldest lady of the Su family is missing, right?" ”

When it came to the eldest lady of the Su family, Zhiwan thought of the matter in Huan Mansion, a touch of anger flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Zhiwan fiercely before he said, "I haven't even dealt with the matter of proposing relatives, and I'm not in the mood to check on others." ”

said, sipping the tea lightly, knowing that it was good to take the tea cup off at night, and whether it was good to eat other people's soft mouths, "What do you mean that you haven't handled it well, you are persecuting my father with the matter of the second master, can my father disagree?" ”

Ye Guiyue glared at Zhiwan, "Father sent the broken line qin, didn't your father send it back to the palace as it was, he wasn't afraid of offending his father, and was he afraid of my little threat?" ”

Zhiwan was stunned, pouted and said, "That's also someone poisoning the broken piano, and I sent it back for your father to find out." ”

Ye Guiyue was dumbfounded, he wondered, Dingyuanhou's move was a great disrespect to his father, his father was not angry, and he went directly into the palace, and even helped him come up with an idea to propose marriage, what did Dingyuanhou say to him, his father sent the broken qin, expressed his approval of this family business, Dingyuan Hou accepted it, and it also represented that he agreed, it was already a great joy, but as a result, the broken line qin became an apology, he wanted to propose again, what happened to his father, see that he was bullied by Dingyuan Hou, and he didn't help him.

However, Ye Guiyue knew that Dingyuan Hou was angry with him for sending a coffin and forcing him to go to prison, so he apologized, although he didn't do it, it didn't mean that he wouldn't, he wanted to see what kind of situation his father agreed with this family matter, Ye Guiyue finished drinking a cup of tea, and came in coldly outside, "Master, the prison is cleaned up, are you going to live in it today?" ”

Zhiwan thought that he had misheard, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, "You want to live in prison?" ”

Ye Guiyue nodded, pinched Zhiwan's cheek and said, "Your father who I hurt is in prison, and in order to make amends, I will also live for a few days." ”

"But aren't you going to come tomorrow to propose?" Treat the prison as your home, you can enter if you want, and you can get out if you want, there is no sincerity!

“…… Did I say that? Ye Guiyue frowned.

Zhiwan tugged at the corners of his mouth," Leng Feng said. ”

Leng Feng stood in the dark, his legs were weak, he didn't say the wrong thing, the master did say that if the proposal was unsuccessful, he came every day, who knew that he would suddenly come out and go to the prison, Leng Feng begged for mercy, "Master, the subordinates said the wrong ......." ”

Before Leng Feng finished speaking, Poria came in and said, "Lord Jun, Master Hou is looking for you to go to the study." ”

Leng Feng breathed a sigh of relief, at this time, looking for the prince of the county, he must have agreed to propose, and he hurriedly followed Ye Guiyue out of the Sandalwood Courtyard to the study.

Zhiwan sat in the house, full of black lines, this is ancient, a woman's reputation is more important than heaven, a foreign man easily broke into her boudoir, and went out of her boudoir with confidence, there was no sense of disobedience, no one dared to say anything, Zhiwan patted his forehead, served tea and drank, after a cup of tea was drunk, Zhiwan went to the desk and looked at the layout of Chunfeng Building.

Chunfeng Building is very large, square, occupies the best position in Kyoto, the more Zhiwan looks, the more I feel that the value of the three thousand taels of silver flowers, such a large piece of land is now hers, what she wants to build is built, Zhiwan is excited when she thinks about it. So much so that she thought about it for several days, and she didn't put pen to paper, but when she saw Chunfeng Lou today, she thought of a good idea. Why do men have a special place to have fun, but everyone doesn't?

She's going to build a place for everyone to play!

Zhiwan pondered carefully, what do the ladies like to play, there must be places like piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, there must be places for butterfly fluttering and boating, the best riding and archery, and most importantly, how should she make money?

Zhiwan thought about it for a while before he put down his pen and sketched it on the drawing paper. When she drew the second picture, Poria ran in with a blushing face, and was about to speak, when Bai Shao motioned to her not to scream, "The girl is busy." ”

The words of Poria cocos reached his mouth and swallowed back. A delicate face was purple, looking at the drawings, what is important in the heart, no matter how important it is, is it important to have a lifelong event, but knowing that the evening painting is serious, she doesn't dare to say anything, and she is anxious to wait. It took a long time before he glanced at her and said with a smile, "My face is purple, endure it for a while, and it is estimated that it will be suffocated." ”

Poria blushed and said no. Then he said, "Hou Ye promised to marry you to the county prince, but Hou Ye wanted to keep you for half a year longer, but the county prince was unwilling, and the two almost fought in the study." In the end, the king of Yuejun threatened Hou Ye with the matter of the second master, and Hou Ye promised to let you pass through the door within a month. ”

The more Poria said, the more excited she became, her eyes shining, "Today, the king of Yue Jun sent two large boxes of atonement gifts, and the Hou Ye said that all of them would be used as a dowry for the girl, and the manager of Qin said that with these, the girl would not worry about eating and drinking for several lifetimes." ”

Poria thought about it, the big jasper beads she saw in the study, as big as her knees, swallowed her saliva, they were all girls', Bai Shao looked at it and smiled, "Even if the girl doesn't have those, she doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, can King Yuejun still starve our girl?" ”

Not to mention that the girl will make money herself, just to apologize, the king of Yuejun sent two large boxes, can the dowry be less? Bai Shao said this, and Poria thought about it, so she was not so excited.

Zhiwan's expression was even lighter, she was not interested in the dowry, and she bowed her head again to paint until late at night.

Slept late at night, got up late the next day, although Zhao and Qian exempted her from asking for peace, but as a junior, the elder was injured, she must have to visit, Zhiwan went to the sandalwood courtyard first, Zhao was lying on the bed, ten fingers wrapped in gauze, looking haggard, it can be seen that he didn't sleep all night, seeing Zhiwan enter the house, Zhao's expression changed slightly, and said, "Hou Ye agreed to the proposal of the king of Yuejun, and married within a month, you have also embroidered a wedding dress before, although you are also married to the king of Yuejun, but it is not suitable to wear it again, Mother Zhou, Take my smoky cloud brocade to the four girls. ”

Zhou's mother retreated, and after a while, she came with a horse of smoke and clouds, Zhiwan was flattered, Zhao said a few more words, and then felt tired and let Zhiwan go out.

Knowing that the blessed body had retired in the evening, and before he left, a maid hurriedly opened the curtain and came in, and the blessed body said, "The old lady is not good, and the second wife is going to die." ”

Zhao Shi was startled, the tiredness on his face was swept away, and he hurriedly said, "What's wrong?" ”

The maid hurriedly replied, "It seems that the second master wants to take a dancing girl as a concubine, but the second wife disagrees, and the second master slapped the second wife in a very angry manner, and the second wife is going to die." ”

Zhao's brows are tight, but it's just a concubine, even if Xiao Zhao is her maiden niece, but she has only given birth to a son for the second room, and there is only one concubine, and she is still weak, if it weren't for her face, she wanted to add two people to the second master's house, so she asked two more sentences of the dancing girl, I heard that the dancing girl has entered the house, and she is pregnant, it has been more than five months, Zhao's eyebrows are locked, and she can't sit still, she can open her eyes and close her eyes when she enters the house, but she is pregnant and enters the house, it is not a simple role, Zhao couldn't help but scolded, "It's really a bastard the more you live, call the second master to come to see me!" ”

Zhiwan exited the house and went to Meixiangyuan to greet Qian's family, and only when he walked to the screen, he heard laughter coming from inside the house, "Is this really the case?" ”

Mother Wang approached with the medicine bowl and said with a smile, "It's not true, I heard the maid say that the aunt was carried into the house last night, and the second master gave an order, not to make a noise, otherwise the second wife would not make a fuss early in the morning, I heard that the aunt was restless, and she was going to the second wife to serve the sick with a big belly early in the morning, but she took the medicine bowl, and said that the fetus moved, and the second wife's pill was dropped, and the second wife was angry in her heart, and she slapped it down." ”

Qian listened with relish, and sneered, "Isn't she a joke all day long, I am rampant by my aunt in the house, and she makes the chickens and dogs in the house." I want to see what she is capable of, a dancing girl, who has the courage to come to Kyoto from Jizhou alone, which is really impressive. ”

Qian is really happy. Over the years, Xiao Zhao's family has occupied herself as Zhao's maiden niece, and even she dares to provoke her in the house, and she is obedient to those aunts, and has ridiculed her several times, especially Aunt Mei and Zhiwan, Qian is angry in her heart, if it weren't for the gauze wrapped in her hands, she couldn't help but visit, and Qian took the medicine bowl. I drank it in one gulp, and ate another candied fruit into my mouth to suppress the bitter medicinal taste.

Qian was in a good mood, and when he went in to say goodbye in the evening, Qian didn't put on a face. "Since the Hou Ye has agreed to your relationship with the King of Yuejun, I won't say anything more, although the Zhennan Wangfu is not the Prince's Mansion, it is far from being comparable to the Prince, the King of Yuejun acts and behaves perversely, the Hou Ye used to you before, and I didn't teach you anything. Go back and invite your nurturing grandmother to come, you learn more rules, don't let outsiders underestimate our Hou Mansion. ”

Hearing the rules, Zhiwan is one head and two big, she doesn't talk much about the rules, but the other sisters in the house. Who has rules, Qin Zhishu is arrogant, Qin Zhishu is coquettish, Qin Zhishu is ruthless, and Qin Zhirou hides needles in his softness...... There is no such thing as a simple one.

After listening to Qian's admonition. Zhiwan was about to retire, and the little maid came in and said, "Madam, Mother Zhou in the old lady's house is here." ”

Qian glanced out of the bead curtain, saw Zhou's mother waiting there, couldn't help frowning, the old lady was sick, she didn't wait aside, but ran to her here, I don't know what happened, so I gave Wang's mother a look, Wang's mother hurriedly welcomed Zhou's mother in, Qian asked worriedly, "The old lady's hands are better?" ”

Zhou's mother hurriedly replied, "Mrs. Lao is worried, the old lady's hands are much better than at night." ”

Qian Shi said with peace of mind when he heard this, "I originally planned to go to see the old lady for a while, but hearing you say this, I am much more relieved, what is the matter with the old lady sending you here?" ”

Mother Zhou sighed in her heart and said, "The old lady asked you to transfer six thousand taels of silver from the gong to the second room." ”

Qian's face changed suddenly, and he didn't care that Zhou's mother came on the order of the old lady, and sneered, "The big house and the second room have been divided a long time ago, and the things that should have been given to the second room have already been given, and I don't owe the second room a slight, the old lady loves the second room, and I can't care about it with my own private house subsidy, but I want to take the money from the public, I don't agree!" ”

Zhou's mother knew that this was the result, but what can be done, the second master is not guilty of accepting bribes, and now he takes the initiative to return the bribes, and there is a possibility of three points of exemption, if he does not pay it back, he will be poked out in the future, and the demotion is small, so he will lose his life, can the old lady sit idly by, but the second master has never spent money lavishly, the second wife is thrifty, and she is used to the two girls, the Houfu girls have it, they have it, the second master has no choice, so he asked to come to the old lady, the old lady has been here all these years, How much did she make up for the second room in the open and secret, and those who failed early in marriage were seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and Zhou's mother didn't dare to persuade them.

Zhiwan quietly withdrew, she didn't want to know too much about these messy things in the house, but the Zhao family had nothing to say about the second room, how could it be described as a partiality, the Hou Mansion could have today, most of it was her father's credit, even the Marquis was sealed in her father's hands, helping the second master rise step by step, before the family was divided, all the money was taken from the public, and the family division was divided into one-third of the Hou Mansion's property, but unfortunately it was not well managed, there was not much surplus, and the second wife stared at the Zhao family, I hope that the Zhao family will take over the inner courtyard again, and the second room will be good for the benefit, how can the Qian family be as she wants?

Zhiwan returned to the Sandalwood Courtyard, and saw Yao's mother coming over with the door, and hurriedly greeted him, with a reproach in his eyes, "The body is not neat yet, why did you get up?" ”

Yao's mother smiled, "The slave maid has been lying down all the time, her back is stiff, I don't hear that the relationship between the king of Yuejun and the girl has been decided, and I am happy for a while, so I got up, and I took the opportunity to breathe." ”

Zhiwan and Poria helped Yao's mother into the house and sat down, Yao's mother looked at the smoke and clouds, and heard that it was given by the old lady, and her eyes were a little unhappy. ”

Zhiwan frowned when she heard this, what is wrong with Mother Yao, she obviously saw Mother Yao when she saw the smoke and clouds, her eyes showed admiration, it can be seen that she likes it, but as soon as Poria said that the old lady gave her a wedding dress, Mother Yao's face was ugly, and it can even be said that she was disgusted, what does Mother Yao do when she hates the old lady? And Yao's mother seems to be very resistant to the rosin courtyard, and rarely goes to the rosin courtyard, unless she is forced to do so.

Poria didn't understand Yao's mother's face, and rummaged through Yanxia Yunjin and said, "Mother, you won't be mistaken, Yanxia Yunjin is precious, and it is just right to make a girl's wedding dress, last year's big girl got married, isn't it Yanxia Yunjin, if you let the garment workshop send fabrics, it will definitely not be as good as Yunjin." ”

Yao's mother glared at Poria Cocos, "If you want to take it down and collect it, take it down and collect it, go to my room, there is a small wooden box under the bed, go and carry it." ”

Poria puffed out her cheeks, picked up the smoke and clouds, and stuffed it directly into Bai Shao's hand, and then ran out, and after a while, she came with a small wooden box, a little heavy, and the tired Poria cocos sweated on her forehead, "Mother, what is in the box, it's so heavy!" ”

Waiting for Poria to bring up the wooden box, Yao's mother took off a hairpin from the bun, opened the copper lock, Zhiwan looked sideways, this is called a hairpin lock, extremely valuable, the texture on the hairpin must be matched with the lock, in order to open, otherwise to open the lock, only the box can be chiseled, this lock is very valuable, with Yao's mother a slave, how to buy it?

Yao's mother unlocked the lock, inserted the hairpin into the bun, and then opened the wooden box, only to open it, Zhiwan shook her eyes, Poria and Bai Peony had already gasped again, "What a beautiful phoenix crown!" ”

Yao's mother picked up the phoenix crown, there were tears in her eyes, but she endured it, handed the phoenix crown to Zhiwan, and said with a smile, "This phoenix crown was designed by the Hou Ye himself and ordered someone to create it, but unfortunately the girl married the king of Yuejun before to be a side concubine, this phoenix crown can not be worn, so it has been collected by the slave maid, I thought that I would not have the opportunity to wear it in this life, but I didn't expect that the king of Yuejun would marry a girl as a concubine." ”

Yao's mother stroked the night pearl on the phoenix crown, the corners of her eyes wrinkled when she smiled, and Zhiwan was also shocked by the beauty of the phoenix crown, the auspicious bird carved on it was lifelike, and the phoenix crown was not very heavy, at least it was much lighter than the phoenix crown she wore on her head last time, but the value was more than ten times that of before, luxurious and beautiful, low-key and noble.

Poria reached out to take the things in the wooden box, only to feel that he took out a piece of smoke, the previous smoke and clouds are said to be very beautiful, but it is definitely not as good as this one, before it can only be said to be like smoke, but this one is almost a smoke, ethereal and gorgeous.

Poria unfolded, and her brows furrowed, "Mother, why is this dress only half done, and nothing is embroidered on it." ”

Yao's mother glared at Poria twice, "This is the girl's wedding dress, naturally the girl has to embroider it herself, if the girl doesn't know how to needlework, I'll do it for me." ”

Poria pursed her lips and didn't dare to speak anymore, her mother today was like eating fireworks, one point to blow up, and only fried herself, but Zhiwan had the idea that there was a piece of paper in the wooden box, and when she picked it up, it was the pattern of the wedding dress, as long as she embroidered according to the pattern, it would definitely shock Kyoto, but this paper was yellow, it can be seen that it has been a long time, Zhiwan thought of those headdresses, those Yao's mother mouth, her father secretly prepared for her to marry, presumably this is also the eldest lady of the Su family, right?

In the past, it could be said that it was just speculation, but now Zhiwan is sure that the eldest lady of the Su family is her mother, if it is not her own mother, Yao's mother loves her, and she will not let her wear an outsider's phoenix crown and xia veil at all, it can only be a blood relative, she even feels that Yao's mother can't wait for her to wear a phoenix crown and xia veil.

There are three-color gold threads embroidered in the wooden box, gold, platinum, purple gold, and even embroidery needles, which are very well prepared, Zhiwan wondered, this phoenix crown was designed by her father, it can be seen that she is going to marry the eldest lady of the Su family, why is Xia Wei only half completed, she can feel her father's love for the eldest lady of the Su family, but why is she not together, but married the Qian family?

And why did Yao's mother lie, it was obviously for the eldest lady of the Su family, that is, her mother, why did she hide it for her, the more she thought about it, the more she felt like she was scratched by a cat, and she wanted to know what happened to her father and the eldest lady of the Su family, why can't a lover finally become a family?
