Once the thought came to mind. Chunying couldn't hold back her thoughts, said goodbye to Qingluan, and after walking out of the door, she glanced in the direction of the main room a few times.

Recently, due to the renovation of the front yard, the second wife, Zhuo, was changed to the director of the main courtyard, and the house was full of people coming and going, and she was very busy. Chunying observed from a distance under the corridor for a while, and felt that it was not convenient to speak now, so she had to leave first with hatred.

Back at Songyi Temple, while she was doing the work of taking care of the second old lady, she was thinking about when she should go over to ask for a delay, but when she looked back and saw the second old lady leaning on the couch in poor spirits, she was a little unsure. Dongfu is now short of manpower, although a group of maids have been purchased, but at this time to propose to leave, I really don't know if it is a good time. After struggling for a long time, she gritted her teeth and decided to let it go. The second old lady's condition has been cured, but her spirit is poor, and there is no shortage of people around her, so she doesn't care if she is missing. At all costs. She didn't want to wait too long. Her parents have left, and as soon as the paperwork arrives, she will apply to the second wife!

Thinking like this, her mind settled down, and she regained her organization and meticulousness in her work. In the eyes of the second old lady, the second lady and the fourth lady, they naturally felt that she had all kinds of benefits, and her attitude between words and deeds had also changed a little, especially the two juniors, the fourth young master and the fourth miss, who were a little more respectful than before, and even the second wife, Zhuo, treated her much more politely. The second old lady looked at it in her eyes, thinking that what they valued was the big girl in front of her, and she had saved herself, and she was very satisfied.

In the evening, the second old lady specially called Chunying, the two came to the small warehouse alone, locked the door, and she ordered Chunying to open the lock of a large paulownia cabinet, take out a wooden box, and then open the lid of the box to take a look, take out a small box, stuff it into Chunying's hand, and signal it to open it.

Chunying still opened it and found that it was a complete set of red gold and ruby head jewelry, with hairpins, earrings, and bracelets. There is also a top hairpin, which is very delicately made, but the style is a little too old, and the color of the gemstone is too bright to be worn by an old woman. Chunying was stunned and looked at the second old lady: "What is the old lady doing with this?" Are you going to use it tomorrow? ”

The second old lady smiled and said: "This is for you to add makeup, you carefully put it away, and when you get married in the future, you will use it as a head and face, which is very decent." This is a set of jewelry that I used to accompany my family when I got married, and because I don't like the rubies on my head, I have been locked in a box except a few times when I went to someone's house for a banquet when I was young. I think you will go out to marry in the future, and your identity is also a commoner, so it's not good to dress up too ostentatious, but it doesn't matter at the wedding. You have the right to keep this as a private house, and it can be regarded as a thought. When you get married, I can't go to drink the wedding wine, I can only give congratulatory gifts first. (Marshmallow)"

Chun Ying wasn't sure if she noticed something, so she could only smile and say, "Thank you for the old lady's reward." It's just that...... It's just too precious. ”

The second old lady waved her hand: "What is this?" I have a lot of things, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'm long gone, and these things will be useless. Just keep it! ”

Of course, Chunying would not be stupid enough to push good things out, so she smiled and thanked the reward, then locked the cabinet door again, put the box under her arm, and helped the second old lady back to the room to rest. When she went back to her room to put away the jewelry, she saw Sister Liang probing her brain at the corner of the corridor from a distance, as if she was looking at herself, and was about to ask the other party what was wrong, but Sister Liang suddenly turned around and ran away, and she was inexplicable.

The second lord Li Yan had meritorious service in the turmoil of the previous few days, and the emperor's previous suspicion of him seemed to have completely disappeared, and within a few days he was promoted to be the secretary of the military department, and ordered him to reorganize the defense of the capital, especially to eliminate the unstable elements in the army. Now King Ke and Liang Taishi are all taken to the prison, waiting to be disposed of, their families are also under control, the emperor only needs to dispose of their henchmen, but the queen mother's family did not directly participate in the rebellion this time, and is still surviving, and is still pleading for the imprisoned flesh and blood and in-laws, and is worried that it will be their turn to be unlucky next, and is desperately looking for a way out. There was a lot of chaos in the court, and everyone in the capital was in danger.

In this chaos, the second master Li Yan calmed down. Before the first month, he had already begun to be busy with business, and the burden of the family fell on the second wife Zhuo, but she accepted it gladly, did not complain at all, and was in a very good mood.

The second old lady is also in a very good mood, her son has been promoted, the saint is unhindered, her grandson has been praised by the teacher, and his knowledge has grown recently, and he also proposed to worship a famous teacher in martial arts, and he will be as civil and military as his father in the future; The daughter-in-law managed the family properly, she didn't have to worry about it at all, and she also sent a list, all of which were people who directly or indirectly expressed their willingness to marry, many of which she was optimistic about, which showed that the marriage of her grandchildren and granddaughters was promising. As soon as she was in a good mood, she was generous, and the magpie came to ask for peace, she remembered that the other party was usually attentive and careful, and also rewarded a set of jewelry. It's just not as good as Chunying's, it's silver-gilded.

Seeing this situation, in the eyes of the girls in the courtyard, they had their own ideas.

In February, the dragon raised his head after the second day of February, and the paperwork of the Lu family and his wife came down. The yamen saw that it was the matter of the new military department Shangshujia, and the efficiency was very high, so the housekeeper of the East Mansion came to the door, and the documents were delivered to the mansion early the next morning. The Lu family and his wife got the news in the afternoon, and immediately rushed over to receive it, among which kowtowed to thank the people who were socializing everywhere, and Lu's mother specially honored the five coins of silver per person on the second door. I want to see my daughter. When the people on the second door heard that it was Chunying's, they immediately came to report.

Even if Chun Ying handed over the work in her hand to Qiu Yan, she ran to the second door, hugged her mother, her nose was sore, and she asked with red eyes: "But it's okay?" Mother Lu didn't care to answer, but just looked her daughter up and down, left and right, and then recited the Buddha and said: "Fortunately, Amitabha, as soon as we heard the news in the outer city, we were scared to death, for fear that you would have a good one!" ”

Lu Yougui still knew that his daughter was anxious, and said with a smile: "I have already gotten it, so I went to kowtow." When we're done talking to you, we're going home. Chunying sniffed and said with a smile: "That's good, I'm not afraid of affecting you in the future...... It was a thrilling night, but I survived. Dad and mom don't have to worry anymore. Think about it, think about our new home, good days are still long! ”

Mother Lu flattened her mouth: "Then you need people too!" I'm really scared, I just went to see the old neighborhood, I was terrified, I heard that it was a knife and a gun, and it was set on fire, who were they? Why don't you let the dignitaries and nobles in the city go to this mansion anyway?! ”

How can this kind of thing be explained clearly for a while? Chunying was in a dilemma, but Lu Yougui relieved her: "Okay, okay, my daughter still has an errand to do, quickly make her clear, so that she can go back on an errand." Then he called his daughter to the corner, looked around, and said in a low voice: "I have bought six houses before and after, and now I have taken back one of the two-entry mansions, repainted and renovated, and are making furniture, and it will be our home in the future." Of the remaining five, I intend to reclaim three. For the rest, give one place to your sister and one place to Brother Kang, and thank you brother-in-law for his hard work in the past few years. ”

Chunying nodded and said, "This is also how it should be." Dad do what he wants. ”

"After going to two properties, our family's income was less, and I thought that we should buy some land, which is the right way. It's just that for a while, I don't know where there is a good field, so I can only look at it slowly. ”

Chunying hurriedly said: "A few days ago, there was turmoil in Beijing, and many big families in the city were affected. There may be a lot of good land in it, but if the price is not expensive, you can buy it. ”

Lu Yougui frowned: "That's it, it's just that someone has already taken a fancy to that good place, where can we get our turn?" He added: "We don't have much money on hand, I thought, in the future, we can't just rent a house to live, do we want to do some business?" I am most familiar with fabrics, if you open a small cloth shop, the supply is not worried, but the store is not easy to find. ”

Chunying thought for a while: "Dad, these things are in a hurry, so I can only pay attention to them." Opening a store to do business is not better than being an intermediary for people in the past, and the silver spent on the store and the purchase of goods is not a few hundred taels that can be solved, so we must use more snacks. It's not convenient to talk here, and in a short time, I should be able to go home, and then we'll discuss it carefully, right? ”

Lu Yougui lowered his head and thought, "It's okay." ”

The mother next to Lu was impatient: "What are you talking about?!" How to clean up the girl's house, I haven't asked yet! ”

Chunying smiled: "Mother, you can just clean up the house, as long as it is neat and generous, don't make too many fancy things." ”

Mother Lu's eyes rolled and she smiled: "Yes, haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run?" We have been waiting for the young lady for so many years, and a decent boudoir will still be cleaned up! ”

Chunying was stunned, smiled, and the family said a few more words, and the Lu family husband and wife were leaving. Chunying said goodbye to her parents and walked all the way back to Songyi Temple, only feeling very light.

When I arrived near the courtyard gate, it was around the corner again, and several girls gathered there to talk, and the leader of them was Sister Liang. Chun Ying didn't pay attention to it, and was about to walk over, when she heard one of the little girls exclaiming: "Won't it?!" How could Sister Chunying be an aunt?! He froze.

Sister Liang said slowly: "How could it not? This is what Sister Jinyu said, that day the old lady rewarded Chunying with a box of jewelry, and yesterday she also rewarded Aunt Xi with a box, and the things they got were contained in the same box. Aunt Xi's things, I have also seen with my own eyes, it is a silver gilt inlaid with a peach ruby, I heard her say, it was the old lady when she was young, and she was going to reward the old lady's aunt, but the aunt was gone, and the thing was left, but it was exquisite. You say, the old lady rewarded Chunying with the same thing, doesn't that mean that?! ”

Another little girl thought thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, when Sister Qingluan came that day, she also made fun of Sister Chunying, saying that she could marry a big family, better than the sisters who married before, and among those sisters, there are also those who marry outsiders, who are stronger than them, and they are big families, who else can there be?" At that time, Sister Qingluan mentioned the master, I should have heard it wrong! ”

Sister Liang pouted: "Although I entered the mansion with Chunying, but she pleases the old lady, her mouth is sweet, and now she has made a great contribution, everyone in the mansion says that the master will definitely promote her, even if the master really accepts the house, it is not strange." It's just that from now on, she will become more and more high, and we can't compare to the horse! ”

The little girl before disagreed: "What do you do like this?" I don't think Sister Chunying is that kind of person, what's so good about being an aunt? It's better to marry someone and be a positive couple! ”

Chunying nodded secretly, it seems that her education is quite successful, that good sister, because she is about the same age as herself, she is not good at teaching her anything, I didn't expect her to think so, so she stood in place and coughed heavily, which frightened the group of girls to turn back in a hurry. Sister Liang stood there with a pale face and helplessness, and after the others panicked, they all saluted and shouted, "I've seen Sister Chunying." Chun Ying nodded lightly and said, "If you are idle to practice needlework, don't chew your tongue here." Everyone dispersed with a cheer, and even Sister Liang ran away with a weak heart.

Chunying sneered, took two steps, and suddenly paused, with an idea in her mind.

She quickly ran back to the courtyard, caught Qiu Yan and Bailing, and when she reached a secluded place, she asked, "Is there a rumor about me recently?" Say what I'm going to do aunt?! ”

Qiu Yan was taken aback: "What?!" Bai Ling was a little embarrassed: "Yes, yes, it's all spread by others, don't take it to heart." ”

Chunying said: "Of course it's a rumor, but how did it come out?" Are there a lot of people who say that?! ”

"Not many people say that, it's just a few girls and women, seeing that you have the blue eyes of the old lady and the wife, they are just red there." Bai Ling said, "I heard Jin Yu say this to Sister Liang that day, in fact, she said your sour words, it's not a day or two, what kind of weird argument about being an aunt, you know it's fake when you hear it, you don't have to pay attention to her, it's not like it, the old lady will clean it up." ”

Chunying smiled, diverted the conversation, and quietly inquired, and found that there were indeed such rumors in the Songyi Courtyard, and the people in the house who had more dealings with the girls and mothers-in-law in the courtyard had also heard of it, but not many people believed it. She smiled slightly, knowing that her opportunity had come.

She found an opportunity, prepared a handkerchief rubbed with ginger water, ran to see the second wife Zhuo, red eyes and tears, exaggerated the content of the rumors a little, and then cried: "The slave maid has no such delusions, please be aware of it!" ”

Zhuo Shi was dumbfounded when he heard this, and then became angry: "Who is chewing your tongue?!" I'm busy with a bunch of things every day, it's messy enough, and I won't stop giving it back! He asked Feng Ming again, "What have the magpies been doing lately?" Or do you run into the old lady's yard every day?! ”

Without waiting for Feng Ming to answer, Chun Ying choked up and said, "Madam, the slave knows that she must have done something bad, so she attracted such rumors. Mrs. also knows that the slave maid is set to be married, although the fiancé is not in Beijing now, but it will take a lot of time to prepare the dowry, please be gracious and let the slave and maid out of the house as soon as possible! ”！ ~！
