Izumo Pavilion is the first courtyard on the East Road, next to the Ming Daozhai where Mrs. Xu lives. Originally, it was a guest house, but in the past ten years, there have been no permanent relatives in Yanwang's Mansion to fight Qiufeng, and it has been vacant.

Two into the courtyard, more than 20 houses. Although it can't be compared with the Mingfeng Pavilion where the county lord of Anhua lives, the county lord can get the grace permission to live in the palace for a long time, and it can't be said that he is wronged by arranging such a house.

"The construction of Linglong Pavilion and Pinghu Autumn Moon is suspended, and we will start cleaning up Izumo Pavilion first." Guo Changshi instructed, "There is also the marriage date of the county lord of Anning advanced, although the county lord of Anhe has just died, but the marriage of the county lord of Anning is not too simple and slow." ”

Princess Cheng personally asked him to come over and tell him that the county lord of Anhe had already "died", and Concubine Chen had only one breath left.

Asking for grace at this time, even he couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted, plus Xu Changqing, the county master, he didn't want to be too wronged by the county lord of Anning.

"Yes." The chief eunuch responded, but couldn't help but say: "This funeral of the county lord of Anhe ......"

Even if it is a royal daughter who died young, the funeral is too casual.

For the funeral of the county lord of Anhe, Guo Changshi ordered that the spirit should be stopped for three days, and the Dharma would not be done, and the matter would be buried.

It's not like that.

"There are so many things in the house, I can't take care of it." Guo Changshi said.

The chief eunuch hesitated and said, "But if any relatives and friends ask......

Although the population of Yanwangfu is small, the Yanwang branch has been in Qingyang for nearly a hundred years, and there are many county lords and generals who have been divided.

"Then let them ask me." Guo Changshi said directly.

The chief eunuch in charge suddenly didn't dare to speak, Guo Changshi was the chief historian of the Yan Palace, and he was also the chief historian of the entire Qingyang royal family.

All members of the royal family were born, named on the jade plate, and married, all through his hands.

Although he is a subordinate, the royal family of the side branch only has a share of the chief historian, otherwise the time to delay the jade plate will not be received, and the royal family will not receive the monthly salary, so the relationship will be big.

"The most important thing at the moment is the family affairs of the county lord of Anning, and everything else is postponed." Guo Changshi said.

"Yes." The chief eunuch bowed his head and said.

After the order, Guo Changshi's day's work was over, leaving the little eunuch to tidy up, and he went back to Changshi's mansion.

As soon as I entered the Changshi Mansion, I saw the steward hurriedly come out, looked up and saw Guo Changshi, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "The old man is back, the old lady is sick, and I am about to look for you." ”

"Oh......" Guo Changshi looked indifferent, "I know, it's over." ”

In recent days, Mrs. Guo has been sick a lot, and she can't live at every turn.

This is also Mrs. Guo's old trick, as long as there is something wrong with the Guo family, she will start to get sick and die. Even if he has filial piety, he will be worn away.

After changing clothes in the front study, Guo Changshi drank a cup of tea, and then went to Mrs. Guo's main room.

I saw that the girls and mother-in-law in the house were endless, and Nian and Nian Ruolan were in front of the bed.

"The master is here...... "The little girl said.

Mrs. Guo, who was lying calmly, suddenly groaned and shouted, "I can't do it, I can't do it......"

Nian was very cooperative, crying: "Mother, mother, ......"

It's Nian Ruolan, maybe she hasn't gone through such an occasion, and she looks very embarrassed to stand next to her.

Guo Changshi was very indifferent, and stepped forward and said, "Mother." ”

"My son, you're here at last." Mrs. Guo said, and said to Nian, "Help me up." ”

Nian stepped forward and helped Mrs. Guo up.

I saw that Mrs. Guo pretended to be weak, but her face was full of red light, and she really didn't look like a patient.

"The doctor just said that my illness will not be cured." Mrs. Guo said.

Guo Changshi listened indifferently and didn't react at all.

Mrs. Guo pointed to Nian Ruolan and said: "I have nothing to worry about, but Ruolan, who is twenty-two years old this year, can't find a good family because she has no dowry." ”

For this matter, she went to Guo's house in person. But it's useless to go, my brother and sister-in-law don't have any money, and they can't give it.

The meaning of the brother and sister-in-law is very clear, Nian Ruolan is getting older, and it is not a matter to always stay at home. Either you will marry casually, or you will become a monk, anyway, the family will not support it, how can you love it.

My aunt is an elder, but the younger generation doesn't listen, and the elders can't help it.

"My mother has been a housekeeper for many years, and the money is in my mother's hands, if my mother wants to marry Miss Nian, she can make her own decisions, and she doesn't need to ask me." Guo Changshi said.

Mrs. Guo was dumbfounded, if she had money in her hands, where would she still use such an act.

The chief historian is not a big official position, and the advantage is that all the food and clothing are provided by the palace, and even the girls are matched.

Under such a welfare package, the salary of the chief historian is very low. Guo Changshi is very honest, all his salaries are handed over, but there is not much money in total.

Over the years, in order to supplement the Nian family, she has already given everything she can give. If it weren't for the daily necessities provided by the palace, I was afraid that there would be problems with eating.

In this case, where did she get the money to marry Nian Ruolan.

"Alas, your salary is not enough for daily use, where is there any money left." Mrs. Guo whispered.

Guo Changshi said indifferently: "The son is useless, and he can't share his mother's worries." ”

"My son, in fact, there are still some acres of land in the family, so as to marry ......," said Mrs. Guo.

This is her real purpose, acres of land are very precious resources, which cannot be bought with money.

uses the land as a dowry, and Nian Ruolan is very easy to marry.

"The land and property in the family are all ancestral property, and my mother uses the ancestral property to marry her niece, I don't care, it's just that the patriarch is there, and you have to say it personally." Guo Changshi said.

The Guo family is not a big family, but they have served the Yan Wangfu for many years, and there are many clansmen.

Before his father passed away, all the land in the family was classified as ancestral property. The ancestral property can only be inherited by the eldest son, even the concubine cannot be divided, let alone given to a person with a foreign surname as a dowry.

"This, this ......" Mrs. Guo was speechless for a moment, and simply cried, "My life is so bitter, so bitter, I can't live in peace when I die." ”

As soon as she cried, Nian also cried.

Nian Ruolan was at a loss, and Guo Changshi looked indifferent.

"Master, you are ......," Nian couldn't help but say.

Guo Changshi said: "I don't know what to do, all the income in the family is in the hands of my mother, my mother has no money, where do I get the money." ”

Nian was speechless for a moment, but Mrs. Guo cried even more fiercely, becoming more and more like a seriously ill person.

After crying like this for a while, Guo Changshi still listened silently, completely unresponsive.

"Master, I have an idea...... Nian had to speak.

Guo Changshi said: "You say." ”

"The mansion is about to choose a side concubine for the prince, and the side concubine doesn't need a dowry......" Nian said tentatively, paying careful attention to Guo Changshi's face.

Unexpectedly, Guo Changshi nodded and said, "This is a good idea." ”

Nian Shi was overjoyed and said, "Master really thinks it's feasible?" ”

"Of course it works." Guo Changshi said, "Although Miss Nian is more than two years old, it doesn't matter if she chooses a side concubine. If you want to run, I can just put her on the list. ”

Nian's smiling face suddenly froze, and he said in disappointment: "What the master meant, it's just a list......"

Guo Changshi looked at Nian's and said, "The selection of the side concubines is finally decided by the prince himself, how can I be the master." ”

Nian Shi was speechless for a moment, and Mrs. Guo said: "You are a long history, you have served in the Yanwang Mansion for all these years, this is ...... There should be. ”

"If I could even take care of the concubines of the prince, I would have been able to go to heaven a long time ago, how could I not be able to take out the money to marry my cousin." Guo Changshi said.

Old Mrs. Guo was choked suddenly, Nian Ruolan's face was even more embarrassed, and she whispered: "Auntie, sister, this is my life, why bother to be a brother-in-law." ”

"My son, I pity you." Mrs. Guo said, there was really a bit of sadness in her tone.

Nian Ruolan is beautiful, she has also read, she can write and draw, and her personality is also gentle and cute.

However, there is no dowry, and the poor family is reluctant to let her marry and suffer. The rich and noble people thought that she had no maiden family and no dowry, and it was worthless to marry home.

It's just delayed, how not to be pitied.

"If the mother has nothing else to do, the son will retire first." Guo Changshi said.

Without waiting for Mrs. Guo to speak, Guo Changshi turned around and went back to the study in the front yard.

Pushing open the door of the study, I looked up and saw Xu Changqing sitting in the room, watching Guo Changshi enter the door, he smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"I haven't congratulated you yet, Master Junma." Guo Changshi said with a smile.

He and Xu Changqing are both Han Xiao's henchmen, and Xu Changqing was included in the list because he was within the standards of the county master.

Xu Changqing was really shortlisted to become the county horse, which was unexpected.

It is said that Concubine Chen chose it herself, probably considering the relationship between Xu Changqing and Mrs. Xu, thinking of kissing and kissing, hoping that the county lord of Anning could be taken care of by Princess Cheng.

In any case, it is not a bad thing for Xu Changqing to stay in Yanwangfu for a long time with a legitimate reason.

"I'm also inexplicable." Xu Changqing said with a smile.

I haven't married because I don't want to marry, and I can't afford to marry.

In the blink of an eye, he became the master of the county, which was really unexpected.

"It is said that the county lord of Anning has a gentle personality and will be a good wife." Guo Changshi said.

Xu Changqing smiled very warmly and said, "yes, if it's the county lord of Anhua...... Maybe we can be brothers-in-law. ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Guo Changshi said, diverted the topic, and said, "Say, suddenly came to look for me, what is the matter?" ”

Xu Changqing put away his smiling face, looked serious, and said, "The eldest prince has a letter." ”

Whether it is Han Xiao or Guo Changshi, they are too conspicuous.

Han Rong's letter has always been sent to Xu Changqing alone. Xu Changqing destroyed it after reading it, and then relayed the content.

"Something important?" Guo Changshi's face was solemn.

Xu Changqing nodded and said, "Regarding the Qin Palace, I'm afraid that the prince is not bad." ”

Han Qi, the king of Qin, did not have a heart of disobedience.

"I'll go see Shizi right away." Guo Changshi said, turning around and wanting to leave.

Xu Changqing also followed him on the same road, but said: "Although it's none of my business, I still want to ask, does the prince really want to marry Shen Xiu?" ”

"Yes." Guo Changshi said.

Xu Changqing had to worry and said, "Then ...... the eldest prince come back in the future."
