The people in the mourning hall were all startled, and immediately the crows knelt on the ground.

Ningyuan Hou Chuhua quickly raised his head and glanced outside the door of Huifang Pavilion. Seeing Qin Lisheng, the chief steward standing at the foot of the steps outside, nodding at himself, and watching him personally lead people to bring Aunt Lan and Aunt Gui down, Chu Hua was relieved.

It is not the first time that Emperor Hongxuan has come to the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion. The doorman guarding the door of the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion already recognized this saint very clearly, and he didn't dare to stop him. Therefore, this time, the gate of the outer courtyard only asked people to report to the chief steward and the master of the inner court, and at the same time personally led the saint to the second gate.

When the Grand Steward of Qin got the news, he greeted the Shengshang and his party at the second gate, and asked the gate to go back and continue to guard the door.

Therefore, when Emperor Hongxuan came all the way to Huifang Pavilion, the masters of the inner courtyard of the Marquis Ningyuan Mansion had just received the letter.

In Cining Courtyard, Mrs. Tai had just returned from Pei Shufan's main courtyard, Zhonglan Courtyard, and before she could sit down and take a breath, she heard a report from someone who said that it was the Holy Lady who had come to the house to offer incense to Mrs. Ning Yuanhou's spiritual seat.

Mrs. Tai was taken aback. I really didn't expect this Pei Shufan to have such a big face, and even the saint was shocked, so he hurriedly put on his big coat again and came over to Huifang Pavilion.

Mrs. Tai thought for a while and didn't know what to say in front of the saint, and her face collapsed.

The second lady Huang has been waiting in Mrs. Tai's Cining Courtyard for a while, and after hearing the news, she also came out with Mrs. Tai.

She glanced at Mrs. Tai's face, took a few steps forward to help Mrs. Tai, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the saint is eighty percent for the sake of the face of our queen mother and the three princesses, so she went through this experience." - No matter how big the sister-in-law's face is, it can't be as big as the queen's mother. ”

Mrs. Tai's complexion was a little pale, and she adjusted the sterling silver plate bead hairpin on her head with her hand, and turned her head to her second daughter-in-law Huang and asked, "Do you see that my hair bun is still neat?" ”

The second lady tucked the big hairpin in, and then reached out to help Mrs. Tai straighten the bead hairpin into the bun, and said: "Mother's plain white silver satin jacket with the silver hairpin on the head is really suitable for the occasion." ”

Mrs. Tai was full of intentions, held the hand of the second lady, slowed down, and hugged the piano to the big girl behind her: "You go to the front and go with a lantern." This little girl doesn't know anything, and it won't be good if she collides with the saint. ”

Baoqin hurriedly responded, stepped forward to take the glass hydrangea lamp from the hand of a little maid who had just left her head, and while illuminating the road ahead, she said to Mrs. Tai: "Mrs. Tai, go slowly." The bluestone road here is prone to frost and slippery at night. ”

When Mrs. Tai and Mrs. II heard this, their pace slowed down even more.

When passing by Zhonglan Courtyard, the main courtyard where Pei Shufan lived, Mrs. Tai remembered the two children left by Pei Shufan, as well as her father-in-law and mother-in-law, who were resting here. The father-in-law is the first assistant of the three dynasties, even in front of the saint, he is also a little dignified.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Tai stopped moving forward and turned her head to the Zhonglan courtyard on the side.

Mrs. Tai and her entourage came to Pei Shufan's upper room, Tong Ye hurriedly greeted him, and saluted Mrs. Tai: "Master Pei and Mrs. Xia go to the fourth young master's room. Mrs. Tai waited a moment, and the slave and maid went to call them over. ”

Mrs. Tai waved her hand to stop her and said, "No need. I went and asked them to come over personally. ”

Saying that, Mrs. Tai took the second lady Huang and came to Chu Qianyi's house in the east chamber.

Mrs. Xia was sitting on the edge of the bed, patting Chu Qianyi to sleep. Master Pei sat aside and whispered to her. Mrs. Xia's eldest maid, Liuli, stood aside and waited.

Seeing Mrs. Tai coming in, Mrs. Xia and Master Pei hurriedly stood up and saluted Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai returned the salute, took a handkerchief and dipped the corners of her eyes, and said to Master Pei and Mrs. Xia: "Shu Fan went at a young age, we are not blessed, and we can't guard such a good daughter-in-law and grow old together." ”

The second lady, Huang, helped Mrs. Tai to sit down on the side, and also said with tears in her eyes: "My lord, Mrs. Qin, since the death of the eldest lady, our Mrs. Tai has been so sad that she can't get out of bed. I just went back, I fainted again, and I woke up, and I had to go to the courtyard of the eldest lady to have a look. ”

But when she saw Master Pei and Mrs. Xia coming over with the three sons of the Pei family to settle the account with Chu Hua, Mrs. Tai responded in her heart, but she couldn't stop them, so she had to deliberately pretend to be uncomfortable and hide.

Who knew that the saint had chosen this time to come over to have fun, and Mrs. Tai couldn't hide anymore, so she had to hurry over.

The second lady was still clever, and she hurriedly came up with something to help Mrs. Tai round it out.

Mrs. Tai patted the second lady's hand with satisfaction, pointed to the makeup pestle wrapped in plain cotton on the side and said, "I have also exhausted you in the past few days." I know that you and Shu Fan have a deep relationship, but you also have to pay attention to your body, if you are also tired, our Ningyuan Marquis Mansion will not be a family. ”

The second lady knew that her words were in line with Mrs. Tai's wishes, and said more and more diligently: "Mother, don't worry, I'm not tired." I had a relationship with my sister-in-law, and now I should give her a ride at the end. No matter how tired I am, I am willing. ”

Mrs. Xia frowned on the side, not knowing what the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law meant by saying something nondescript here.

Master Pei saw that a room full of women, and he was inconvenient here, so he got up and said, "You talk, I'll go to Huifang Pavilion to see what's going on there." ”

This reminded Mrs. Tai, and she hurriedly stood up and said: "Don't be busy, look at my memory, I don't talk about business when I come in, but talk about it here." We came here to invite the two of you to Huifang Pavilion together. The Holy One has just arrived at Huifang Pavilion, and we are all in a hurry. ”

When Master Pei heard this, he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, and he arched his hand to Mrs. Tai with a cold face and said, "Unaccompanied." After speaking, he hurriedly went out to Huifang Pavilion to pick up the car.

Mrs. Tai was blushed by Master Pei, looked at Mrs. Xia and smiled wryly, and said, "Mother-in-law, let's go over together." He called Chu Qianyi's nurse Mother Jiang over and said, "Put on your young master, and hold it and kowtow to the saint." Tell Hong's mother too, and let her go with you with humility. ”

Mrs. Xia couldn't help but say, "Yi'er and Qianqian are both asleep. ”

Mrs. Tai didn't answer, came over and took Mrs. Xia's hand, and said, "Mother-in-law, we have to hurry, don't let the saint wait for a long time." ”

The three daughters of the Pei family were in Chu Qianqian's house next door, and when they heard Tong Ye come over and say that Mrs. Tai was coming, they rushed over to salute Mrs. Tai.

Hearing that the saint was in charge of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, the fourth lady Pei Shufen grabbed up and helped Mrs. Xia's other arm, and said, "Since the saint is here, we have to hurry over, don't let the saint wait for a long time." ”

As soon as Pei Shufen's words were finished, Mrs. Xia's arm stiffened.

Pei Shulan, the second lady of the Pei family, and Pei Shufang, the third lady, hurriedly came over to pull the fourth lady Pei Shufen away, and saluted Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Tai of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion: "Mother, Mrs. Tai, it's better to go over quickly." We're just guarding the house here. ”

Mrs. Xia nodded, turned around and helped Liuli to walk with Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Second

Pei Shufen watched Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Tai go away, and couldn't help but ask the second lady Pei Shulan, "Second sister, why don't we go to meet you?" ”

Pei Shulan turned around and sat on the chair next to her, glanced at Pei Shufen, and said, "We are an unmarried girl's family, how can we see the car without being called?" - This is not in accordance with etiquette. ”

The Great Qi Dynasty paid great attention to the defense of men and women, even if it was a saint, when he arrived in the inner courtyard of someone's house, he could not meet the unmarried girl's house at will. Only the lady who has received the title has the right to see the driver.

Pei Shufen lowered his head and stepped aside, slightly disdainful in his heart, but didn't say anything more.
