Chapter 55 The Mansion of the Marquis of Beijing

When I returned to the house, it was already afternoon, my mother got the news in advance, and personally brought the aunts and sisters in the house to stand at the big "gate" to greet them. ΡˆΡ‰Ρˆ.(vii) (ix) x.S.сом The update is so fast. Please search to see the most complete! The fastest update

When my grandmother got out of the car, she complained to her mother: "It's just to go to the Fuhua Nunnery to stay for a few days, are you so excited?" I heard Qingwen say that your own body is not neat yet, and you don't know how to pay attention to it. ”

The mother lowered her eyebrows, and stepped forward to support her grandmother gently and respectfully: "As the mother of the family, I should practice and set an example for the other aunts and 'daughters' in the house, and I dare not be lazy and slack." ”

Grandmother has changed out of the green cloth blouse she wore when she was in the nunnery, dressed in brocade clothes, jewelry, and the feeling between her eyebrows and eyes is not as kind as she usually sees, a little more 'shrewd' and sharp.

Several aunts in the house stood behind their mothers, saluted respectfully, lowered their heads, and did not dare to look up. The grandmother tilted her chin and didn't care, and went straight to the big 'door' by the mother's hand, and the aunt and several sisters behind her still lowered their heads and entered according to their position in the house.

The seventh aunt likes to compete for a high and low on weekdays, and she is the first among the aunts in every situation, but today she even lowered her eyebrows and obediently followed behind the sixth aunt, not daring to go beyond the slightest.

It turned out that my grandmother was so majestic and unsmiling in front of her aunt in the house, and she was so approachable and loving when she was in the Fuhua Nunnery. It is said that the mother is strict in governing the family, which seems to be far from the grandmother.

I thought that my words and deeds in front of my grandmother had been much more restrained, but now compared with the dignified etiquette of my sisters, I found that I was more than 108,000 miles behind, and it seems that my grandmother is indeed tolerant of me on weekdays. Everyone was so obedient that I naturally didn't dare to look around, and followed with my eyebrows lowered.

When my grandmother returned to the courtyard, we respectfully greeted her, and my mother told us to step down and serve by herself. I knew that there must be something to discuss, and it was very likely about entering Beijing, which was related to my future and lifelong happiness, and I was panicked in my heart, like a few little rats scratching.

After grinding out of the yard, several aunts have already retreated, only Aunt Nine and Qingqing Qingchou sisters are still there.

My mother's misunderstanding of my poisoning has not passed, and the misunderstanding has not been clarified, but I didn't expect Qingqing and Qingchou, Qinglian's sisters have no prejudice against me, and their eyes are full of sincerity, and there is no trace of disdain.

I asked, my grandmother likes to be quiet, and there is no banquet arranged in the house in the evening, so I asked them to come to my wisteria building a few evenings to prepare a table, which is lively.

Everyone was excited, and Aunt Nine happily came over, letting me rest and freshen up first, and she would arrange the banquet. Qingqing and several people thanked their aunt one after another, but when they looked up, they saw Qingyin standing not far in front of us, smiling embarrassedly at me, hesitating as if they wanted to come over.

Qingqing secretly tugged at the placket of my clothes, making a look, I understood what she meant, I was the host, and I should naturally say it if I was invited. Although he was reluctant, he had to be able to get by on face: "Sister Qingyin, you can come over at night." ”

Qingyin is really as Brother Lin said, no longer that arrogant look, hearing that I invited her, hurriedly responded: "Some time ago, my sister ignored her past suspicions and saw a doctor for me, and she didn't thank her well, so she didn't dare to let her sister break the bank, so it was better to go to my Splendid Garden, and I will arrange it." ”

The tone of her voice was much more modest, and I felt a little incredible, could she really be reborn?

"Sister don't have to be so polite, our sisters have been here for a long time, and there will be opportunities in the future.

Qingqing and several people agreed, and everyone broke up with laughter, Aunt Jiu said a few words to me, asked about the cold and warmth, and happily went to the kitchen to arrange a banquet at night.

Lan'er and Hui'er, a few people were already at the entrance of the yard, frequently probe, waiting for me, and when they saw me coming out, they excitedly surrounded me, chattering non-stop. Especially the little one, who almost hung my arm and didn't let go, rubbing and rubbing like a cat, and kept saying, "I miss me." ”

She is now the same as when she first entered the mansion, but it is only more than half a moonlight, and she is like two people before and after. is no longer so yellow and thin, and his face has a lot of 'meat', and he can almost pinch out the water tenderly. I couldn't help pinching her still a little baby 'fat' face, and ravaged it: "I think I'm fat and duplicitous." ”

Lan'er and Hui'er both pursed their lips and smiled, counting her daily overeating, which was particularly lively.

Two more rough girls were added to the courtyard, and I heard that it was my father's intention. The original two girls were called by their mothers to punish them for doing some dirty and tiring work, saying that even if the master made a mistake, the current people should not leave without permission, do not listen to the dispatch, and lose their dignity.

Xuan'er is directing the two girls to prepare toiletries for me, so that I can wash my filth and everything will be smooth and good luck in the future.

Commanding the two girls to leave, I couldn't help it, and asked Xuan'er a few people: "I heard that someone from the Marquis Mansion in Beijing is coming, do you know what you are here for?" ”

Xuan'er pursed her lips disdainfully: "What else can I do, take advantage of the reason for coming to Jiangnan to purchase, and scavenge some silver taels." ”

When the people in the mansion mention the Marquis Mansion in Beijing, they are all in awe of 'Yan' and envy, why is Xuan'er so disdainful? I asked her curiously, "What silver taels are you looting?" ”

Xuan'er glanced out of the window and said in a low voice: "These tongues, heard by Madame, will be punished, so let's say it here." The Marquis Mansion in Beijing, we feel brilliant when we hear it, and it is a great high-ranking official. In fact, in the capital, one rod can hit two royal relatives. Especially Aunt Qingwan's family has actually declined, but it is just in the name of a Hou Yefu, and there is no power in the court, so let's play a fight in this small place of Yangzhou City.

Since Miss Qingwan married into the Hou Ye Mansion, people still think that we have climbed high and stained their light, in fact, every year as soon as the 'spring', the Hou Ye Mansion has an excuse to come to Jiangnan to procure and loot the silver taels of our Su family. Every time we purchase something, we don't count the 'spending' expenses, and when we leave, we have to give away all kinds of cherished antiques, gold and silver treasures, and we have a big loss. ”

Lan'er and Hui'er were both a little disdainful: "That Aunt Seven and Miss Qingyin are still in the mansion with their tails up to the sky, so they don't have much glory." ”

I took a sip of tea and squinted comfortably: "Where did you hear all this gossip?" ”

"Originally, when I was in the courtyard of my wife, everyone talked about it like this, and I heard my wife complain about it with my lord like this."

"Then the mother must have been scolded by the father for this."

Xuan'er was a little surprised: "How could Miss know, can't you pinch it?" ”

I leaned back in my chair and stretched comfortably: "It's very simple, but I look at the problem from a different angle. The Su family has a great business, but no one in the world is red. Those who are officials are no exception. They all want to use the power in their hands to exploit and hollow out their minds to get a piece of the pie, and it is inevitable that there will be something that will embarrass my Su family. Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, even if my Su family's gold and silver mountains are not as good as the seal of the person in power, they are completely controlled by others, so they can only swallow their anger and let others slaughter them.

Why does the Su family want to climb to power, it is for this reason. Get acquainted with the royal family of the previous 'door', even if he doesn't do anything, he doesn't help anything, just this reputation can discourage those who want to embarrass us, and there are even more sycophants who will open the convenient 'door' for my Su family, this is what the saying goes, there are people in the court who are easy to do, and they are good to enjoy the shade with their backs against the big trees.

Moreover, the Su family's colorful flowing cloud brocade can be used as a tribute, and it is praised by the world, and I heard that it is also the Hou Yefu who has done its best. Whether it can be profitable is secondary, it itself is a golden signboard, which has established the Su family's stable position in the Jiangnan brocade industry, and how many brocade giants dream of it.

You only see the gold and silver that our Su family subsidized for the Hou Yefu, but my father can understand the pros and cons, and my mother will naturally be reprimanded. ”

Xuan'er looked at me, staring intently, as if she wanted to see the 'flower' from my face, I was puzzled and 'touched' my own face, and asked, "What's wrong, do I have dirty things on my face?" ”

Xuan'er tilted her head, her eyes flashed, a little playful, she has always been much more stable than Lan'er and Hui'er, and it is rare to see such a careless state: "Miss, please forgive me for being disrespectful, if you weren't born with a heavenly appearance, I would have thought you were a man." Which of the ladies in the house is not full of poetry and books, full of splendor, especially Miss Qingqing, who is cautious and high, and is full of poetry and songs, and has a chapter of export, but she has always been decent when she speaks, and she will never have such a profound insight, what you say today is similar to the reprimand of the master, and the tone of speech is more like a few young masters in the house. ”

I smiled awkwardly, the poetry rhymed that was my hard injury, don't mention it, I really don't know if Xuan'er is praising me or hurting me.

After a few words of gossip, a few people stepped back with great insight and asked me to rest for a while.

It's not far from the house, and I don't feel tired. Today is a rare sunny day, the sun is warm, I opened the window wide, a sweet and fragrant 'flower' fragrance wrapped in the slightly drunk smell of the sun filled in. In the courtyard, a wisteria is blooming and luxuriant, and the heavy 'flower' petals are squeezed between the 'flower' stands, and the deep and light purple 'color' flows down from the top, like crystal glass, flowing in the sun.

I remembered that before leaving, I had promised Hui'er and Qingqing to make rattan and radish cakes to eat, so I told Lan'er to take a dustpan, pick some of the 'fat' and thick wisteria 'flowers', wash them and dry them, and marinate them in white sugar for half an hour. He also told them to carry the dining table to the 'flower' stand, and to prepare in advance for all the trivial things, and planned to enjoy the moon and tea with the sisters in the courtyard at night.

Xuan'er received the errand, so she and Hui'er began to spread around lightly, leaned her head over from the window, and winked at me playfully: "Miss, what am I doing?" ”

I beckoned to her and motioned for her to come in and speak: "I'll test your homework and see if you've been lazy these days." He pretended to close the window.
