In the Marquis Ningyuan's mansion, Mrs. Marquis Ningyuan has been restless in recent days. In addition to eating every day, she went to the house she prepared for the prince Chu Qianyi and the township prince Chu Qianqian, and watched her subordinates clean up and arrange.

"This green jade pen holder and black jade stone inkstone are treasures brought back from the southwest by the old marquis, and I am reluctant to use them, so I have been keeping them, and I originally planned to enter them." Mrs. Tai ordered her companion room again, and her confidant Liu's mother found some furnishings from the treasury and put them in Chu Qianyi's house.

Chu Qianyi's house was set up in three south-facing wings in the Tai Lady Cining Courtyard. One was used as a bedroom, one as a study, and one for his daily hospitality.

Mrs. Tai is now standing in Chu Qianyi's study, watching the maid and the maid clean up.

Under the south window, there is a large desk of rosewood, and on the windowsill in front of the desk, there is a row of four four-color flower bottles with four Ruyao plum orchids and bamboo chrysanthemums, which are inserted with colorful daisy flowers, crowded to the ground, as if they are about to overflow.

On the desk, there was only an interstitial screen more than a foot high, and pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and other things.

Facing the wall of the study is a row of bookshelves that are full of height, and the bookshelves are densely packed with various subsets of scriptures and histories.

On the north side is a small sour branch wood arhat bed, the bed is covered with a light water green cotton cover, and there are two large azure pillows, on which are embroidered with silver thread and gold thread with interesting and cute little animals, which seems to be not very harmonious with the layout of the whole room.

Mrs. Tai frowned when she saw the big pillow on Luohan's bed, walked over and stroked her hand, and said, "This material is good, but it is not good if you hurt your face." ”

"Mother Liu!" Mrs. Tai shouted outside the house.

Mother Liu was gossiping with other mothers-in-law in the courtyard outside, and when she heard this, she hurriedly came in and smiled at Mrs. Tai: "What does Mrs. Tai command?" ”

Mrs. Tai pointed to the pillow and said: "The things used by children, soft and clean are the first thing, these gold and silver threads are just an ornament, that is, ordinary adults will not put them on their beds, why are they placed in Yi'er's room like this?" - When did you guys be so careless?! ”

Mother Liu looked at the big pillow embroidered with small animals with gold and silver threads, her face was a little embarrassed, and she bowed her head and replied: "Mrs. Hui's words, there was originally a pair of cotton pillows with moire pinched edges. It was Mrs. who said that the prince of the world was noble and noble, and he couldn't use those ordinary things to specially draw embroidery patterns and let the embroidery girl in the embroidery room drive them out overnight. ——The material picked the best southwest snow cicada brocade in the warehouse, and the embroidered gold and silver threads were also extracted from pure gold and silver, and it took ten percent of the effort. ”

Mrs. Tai snorted and said, "You know the gold and silver threads." Their Pei family is also a scholarly family for hundreds of years, why is there such a big gap between daughters and concubines? - This eyelid is also a little lighter. ”

Liu's mother sneered and didn't dare to answer.

Mrs. Tai lowered her head and thought for a while, and then instructed Liu's mother: "That's it, put these two pillows in the guest house outside as decorations." The study room in the guest house is never inhabited, so it is okay to think about it. Snow cicada brocade is a good thing, and now you can't buy it with silver, so you don't have to be bad. It's just that the name is not as loud as the sky and the water, and most people don't know it. - You go to the storehouse for me to take a look at it again, and if there is any snow cicada brocade, bring it to me and put it in my storehouse, don't leave it outside, let some people who don't know the goods trample on it. ”

Liu's mother was busy and went down to cook.

Mrs. Tai sighed, sat on the Luohan bed, stroked the cover of the Luohan bed, and said with some sadness: "These good things were brought back from the southwest when the old marquis was there, and now they can't be anymore." ”

Mrs. Tai's maid hurriedly stepped forward to make fun, and said that after the return of many princes and townsmen, they would be happy with Mrs. Tai's family. He also persuaded: "In two months, it will be Mrs. Tai's birthday, and when the time comes, the children and grandchildren will be full, and it will be lively." In this way, Mrs. Tai was happy again.

Chu Qianyi's house was arranged, and Mrs. Tai returned to her house to see someone make room for Chu Qianqian. It turned out that Chu Qianqian had just turned five years old, and Mrs. Tai planned to take Chu Qianqian to live in person, so she didn't arrange another room for her, but just asked the maid to vacate a few boxes for her, so that Chu Qianqian's clothes for the four seasons could be placed, and she took a few luodian enamel makeup dowries, which were full of hairpin rings and pendants that Mrs. Tai found for Chu Qianqian. Eight treasure collars and other daily jewelry.

Mrs. Tai still lives on the eldest son Chu Huajin's eldest daughter, Chu Wenlin, who should have moved out, but Chu Wenlin has lived by Mrs. Tai's side for three years, and as soon as Chu Qianqian comes back, Chu Wenlin will be removed, which makes people look down on Chu Wenlin more and more as a concubine. Besides, Chu Wenlin is almost nine years old, and she is about to start discussing marriage. Let her live with Mrs. Tai, and look better on her face, to offset her shortcomings as a concubine. Besides, it's not good to be too obvious to favor one over the other, so that their sisterhood has a bad beginning.

So a few days ago, when Pei Shufen, the wife of Marquis Ning Yuan, who was in charge of the feed, came over to ask Chu Wenlin to move out, Mrs. Tai stopped her, only saying that there were more granddaughters, so it was interesting, and she was not allowed to move out.

Pei Shufen was also worried that Mrs. Tai was getting old, so she quarreled with Mrs. Tai, so she carefully told Chu Wenlin a few words, asking her to remember to honor her grandmother, let her younger siblings, and be a good sister.

Although Chu Wenlin was not worried in her heart, she knew that her mother was right, so she also responded. It's just that she is young and unhappy, so she brings it out on her face, these days, she runs to her biological mother Aunt Qi's yard every day, or takes her younger brother, four-year-old Chu Wenchen, to study and learn calligraphy together, and always eats dinner in Aunt Qi's courtyard before returning to Mrs. Tai's Cining Courtyard.

Aunt Qi knew that Chu Wenlin was unhappy, and she couldn't do anything. Who made himself a concubine? Back then, he was not only affectionate to Chu Hua, but also unwilling at all, so he insisted on being a concubine. Now that I think about it, I still made a mistake.

But now it's too late to regret it, thinking of the small filling house that lives in Zhonglan Courtyard that has long since lost its youth and has become more elegant and generous, Aunt Qi smiled and said to Chu Wenlin: "Lin'er, tomorrow the prince and the townsman will return to the mansion, you have to remember to be measured." and thou art near them, and thou art close to the age of the son. As long as you get along with them, your aunt and your brother will receive your affection. ”

When Chu Wenlin heard this, she raised her eyebrows, wanted to speak, endured it again, pondered her aunt's words carefully, and also figured out a trace of taste, slowly smiled, and nodded heavily: "My daughter understands." Aunt rest assured, in terms of affection, I am the eldest sister, they are younger sisters, and I should take care of them. In terms of reasoning, they are concubines, I am concubines, concubines are distinct, each in its own place, they are at ease, and I am also comfortable. ”

Aunt Qi saw that her daughter was smart and clever, and she was also happy in her heart, stretched out her hand, stroked Chu Wenlin's face that looked like her, and said pityingly: "I have wronged you." If it weren't for the fact that my aunt was blinded by lard back then, she would have to be a concubine, and she wouldn't have let my son live by looking at other people's faces. ”

Chu Wenlin smiled reluctantly and comforted Aunt Qi in a low voice: "Auntie, don't think too much." My father and grandmother also took my grandfather's family as a serious relative, and my aunt's identity was not as good as ...... Not as good as ...... Fill the room difference. ”

Aunt Qi hurriedly covered her mouth and said in a low voice: "Just think about this in your heart, if you say it, it will not only bring trouble to your aunt, but also to your brother." - Your father is a fool, and he is now preoccupied with that woman, and we must not frustrate him. ”

Chu Wenlin was even more disdainful, took Aunt Qi's hand away from her face, and asked, "Why is Auntie so afraid of her?" - In front of her mother-in-law, she and her aunt are the same people. ”

Aunt Qi smiled and said meaningfully: "You, you're still too young to see far." You must know that if your former mother-in-law is still there, your aunt, you, and your brother will not be able to get ahead in this life. But with your current stepmother, we still have some hope. ”

Chu Wenlin was born with a pair of Danfeng eyes unique to the Chu family, with slender eye slits and thick black eyelashes, which made a pair of Danfeng eyes that seemed to be open very eye-catching. Hearing this, her eyelashes flashed, and after thinking about Aunt Qi's words, she still shook her head and said, "Auntie, don't think too much." The most important thing now is to enlighten my younger brother and worship a good master. ”

Aunt Qi said confidently: "This is natural. Your grandfather's family is looking for powerful Confucians everywhere to come to our Ningyuan Marquis Mansion to sit in the museum. Besides, the prince is coming back, and he also needs a master. ”

Chu Wenlin smiled and hugged his younger brother who was sitting next to him and kissed him in his arms, and said, "My brother is so studious, he will definitely be able to compare with everyone in this mansion." ”

Aunt Qi shook her head with a smile and said, "He is still young, so he doesn't need to be compared with the prince." It is enough for him to be better than the child of that one. "The direction of Zhonglan Courtyard is pointed. As for the sons born to the two aunts, Aunt Qi has never taken it seriously. And Aunt Fang's son is still too young, I heard that he is a fool, and he knows how to eat it every day, and he has always been the laughing stock of this Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.

The three of them ate together again, and Chu Wenlin took the maid back to Cining Courtyard.

Aunt Qi changed into a peach-colored Guiyun brocade hundred butterflies and wore a flower-style robe, covered with a layer of white thread-picking light gauze overall, draped in a royal blue shawl, and inserted a fulcrum emerald pearl on her head. After taking a picture in the mirror, it was neither luxurious nor cold, and he had a dignified bearing, so he helped the maid's hand and asked Rǔ Niang to take Chu Wenchen and go to Zhonglan Courtyard to ask the Hou Ye and Mrs. to go.

Since Pei Shufen entered the door, she was exempted from the rules of the aunts. It's just that the morning and dusk are the place of etiquette, although Pei Shufen often asks them not to be polite, but the aunts still dare not forget it.

All the way to Zhonglan Courtyard, the sky is already dark, there are lights everywhere, and there is an endless stream of maids and women shuttling back and forth. Seeing Aunt Qi and her party coming, some maids and women who were familiar with them came over to say hello.

Aunt Qi responded with a smile one by one, and kept going to Zhonglan Courtyard.

When she came to Zhonglan Courtyard, Aunt Qi saw that Aunt Lan and Aunt Gui were already waiting at the door.

Seeing Aunt Qi coming, Aunt Lan and Aunt Gui hurriedly came over to salute her and greeted her with a smile.

Aunt Qi also returned the salute and asked with a smile, "Are Master Hou and Mrs. still with Mrs. Tai?" "I thought that Master Hou and Mrs. Hou were still having dinner at Mrs. Tai's.

Aunt Lan and Aunt Gui glanced at each other, smiled a little weirdly on their faces, and said, "Why did Aunt Qi forget?" In the past few days, Mrs. Tai said that she should arrange a place for the prince and the village monarch to live, so that each family can eat in their own yard and do not have to eat together. ”

Aunt Qi suddenly said: "That's to ask Mrs. Tai to go and haven't come back yet?" ”

Aunt Gui smiled mysteriously, and was about to come over to speak, when the door of the upper room in Zhonglan Courtyard creaked open, and came out of Ningyuan Hou Chu Huajin's Tongfang Tongxing, with a large copper basin in his hand, which was full of water, and he lowered his head and passed past the aunts and went to pour water in the courtyard.

Aunt Qi gasped, looked at Aunt Gui, and said, "...... You mean......? "Look at the sky again, although it is already dusk, but it was not still bright just now?

Several aunts thought of Ningyuan Hou Chu Huajin, their faces turned red, and they stood on the steps in front of the house with their heads down, waiting for someone to pass it on.

Tong Yue came out of the ear room next to her, curtsied to the three aunts, and said, "Wait a minute, our lady only returned to her parents' house today, thinking that there is something important to discuss with the Hou Ye." Wait for the slave and maid to go in and make a noise. With that, he entered the gate of the upper room of Zhonglan Courtyard, walked to the door of the moon cave leading to the inner room, and replied loudly: "Master Hou, Madam, Aunt Lan, Aunt Gui and Aunt Qi have come to say goodbye." ”

As soon as the words fell, Aunt Fang staggered up the steps and said to Tongyue inside: "Tongyue, the concubine also came over to say hello to Lord Hou and Mrs. ”

Tong Yue paused, and replied: "There is also Aunt Fang." ”

The sound of the inner room stopped, and after a while, he heard the deep voice of Ningyuan Hou Chuhua: "Got it, let them go back." There are a lot of things to do today, and I will ask for peace tomorrow. ”

Chu Huajin's voice was loud, and the four aunts outside could hear it clearly.

Tong Yue responded with a smile, came out and curtsied to the four aunts: "Master Hou's order, the four aunts want to hear it." Coming back tomorrow also makes. ”

Aunt Qi smiled first: "It's okay." The Hou Ye and Mrs. Hengzhu also knew that we had been here, and since the Hou Ye and Mrs. had something to do, we wouldn't bother. With that, he turned around and went down the steps first, and took his mother-in-law and maid to the outside of the courtyard.

Aunt Lan and Aunt Gui glanced at each other, sighed in unison, and left with their heads down.

Aunt Fang pursed her lips and smiled, "Yo, I didn't come by chance. Yesterday, Wen Jue was greedy for fun and didn't sleep all night. I played with him all night, and I got up late this morning, and I didn't have time to say hello to my wife, but I didn't expect it to be inconvenient at night. - Kiritsu, you have to help me say a few kind words in front of Madame. It's not that I'm frivolous, it's really that Wen Jue is too naughty, and I want Hou Ye to discipline me more in the future. ”

Tong Yue smiled and gossiped a few words with Aunt Fang, and also sent her out of the yard.

In the inner room of Zhonglan Courtyard, Pei Shufen hurriedly got up from the bed, put the lake-blue belly pocket around his neck, turned his back again, and said to Chu Hua: "Master Hou, help me tie the strap on the back." ”

Chu Huajin saw Pei Shufen's snow back, which became more and more delicate and soft under the background of the blue belly pocket strap, reached over to help her tie the back strap, and his hands involuntarily moved from her back, stretched in from the belly pocket, and took out a heavy chest to play with.

Pei Shufen slapped his hand down in disgust and said, "It's all you!" - In broad daylight, let these aunts see jokes! ”

Chu Huajin laughed and said, "Who dares to laugh?" - I won't go to her house in the future! ”

Pei Shufen snorted lightly, changed the subject, and said, "I went back to take a look today, Yi'er and Qianqian didn't seem to want to come back, and they didn't even say anything to me." ”

Chu Huajin smiled and said, "After living in the Pei family for so long, it is normal for people to be reluctant to leave. - Are you thinking too much? ”

Pei Shufen sighed and said with some concern: "I know that they don't treat me as a mother, and I don't blame them." The dearest thing in the hearts of children is their biological mother, as it should be. But if they are rude in front of others so badly that people say that they are unfilial, is it not all my sin? ”

Chu Hua thought about Chu Qianyi and Chu Qianqian's usual appearance, and said with some disbelief: "No, right?" They have always been good and polite children. Needless to say, even if he is humble, although he is naughty, he has never made a mistake in the number of big gifts, especially in front of people, many people praise it. ”

Pei Shufen said with a smile: "Master Hou is really a good father. The two children have Hou Ye as their father, and they have really been cultivated for several generations. Even if you don't have your biological mother by your side, it's fine. ”

The corners of Chu Huajin's mouth curled slightly, and he was very useful to Pei Shufen's words, lying lazily on the bed, holding his hands behind his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Pei Shufen's big apricot eyes rolled twice, and said to Chu Huajin again: "Over the years, they have been in my mother's house, and they are the treasures in the hands of the whole family, and they have been spoiled too much. In my opinion, while they are still young, they should be stricter. Of course, it is not good to be too strict, but it cannot be a tool if it is not strict. ”

Chu Huajin squinted his slender Danfeng eyes, glanced at her, and said with a smile: "It's too strict, aren't you afraid of people gossiping about you?" "I actually know that my stepmother is not easy to do.

Pei Shufen smiled, got up and walked to him and sat down, took a beauty to gently help him beat his legs, and said, "My own reputation is small, but the upbringing of two children is big." Hou Ye rest assured, I am not deliberately pampering the person who killed the two children for the sake of false fame. ”

This was said heart-wrenching, which made Chu Huajin even more moved for a while, reached out and pulled her into his arms, patted her on the back, and said, "I know." Over the years, you have taken good care of your concubines, and you have been rain or shine with Yi'er and Qianqian, and you go back to see them every few days. Even if they don't give you a good face, even if your mother's family embarrasses you, they won't stop you. As he spoke, he looked deeply into Pei Shufen's eyes and said, "I picked you to fill the room, I really didn't pick the wrong person." ”

Pei Shufen's heart fluttered, she was busy and restrained, smiled at Chu Hua, and said, "Shu Fen was fortunate to marry Hou Ye as his wife. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling that they were getting closer to each other.

The next day, the three carts carrying the luggage of Chu Qianyi and Chu Qianqian entered the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion early in the morning.

At noon, the Pei family's eldest grandmother, Shen, and the grandmother of the two children, Mrs. Xia, came over together with Chu Qianyi and Chu Qianqian in a big car. came in the same car, and there was actually the friendly mother of two children, He Ningxin, the Duchess of Zhenguo.

Although there is no double change, one change is 5,000 words, which is not less, right?
