"Back to the fourth master, it's not an example in the house." Mama Xu hurriedly bowed down and replied, "This is sent by the Kangjun Palace." ”

"Oh," Qi Yu nodded.

"Sister Luan Yu sent someone to send a hundred catties of silver frost charcoal, and Junhui also sent some, saying that it was a reward from above." Xun Qingran saw Qi You asking about this charcoal, so he explained, "These are almost enough, plus our share, and what my wife added, I can't use it up." ”

"The ones in our house were sent from Zhuangzi outside the city, and they are a little dry. Let's use it first with the Kangjun King and Junhui sent. Qi Yu said.

Qing Ran naturally had no objections.

"The minion made a note of it." Mama Xu also said on the side, "The warm pavilion has been almost cleaned up, and the fourth master and the fourth grandmother will be able to move in in a few days." But it doesn't take much of it. ”

"If you feel cold, cage a few more charcoal basins." Qi Yu said to Xun Qing, "The charcoal from the north will be delivered in a few days, that's good." ”

"It's already warm." Xun Qing said that there are many rules in the capital, such as when to change into a big sweater, when to burn the kang and the earth dragon, and you can't follow your own temperament.

"I made a robe for the fourth master, I just made it, and the fourth master tried to see if it fits." Speaking of the big sweater, Xun Qingran remembered the robe she sewed for Qi You, and hurriedly took it out and asked Qi You to wear it and try it.

"You're pregnant, why are you still doing this." Qi You took the robe, looked at the fine legs, the delicate embroidery, and rejoiced in his heart.

"It's just one or two pieces, and I'm tired of it." Xun Qing smiled and helped Qi Yu put on his robe.

"Just right." Both laughed.

…………

In the upper room of the prayer hall, Aunt Li brought a cup of tea to Mrs. Qi. Second Mrs. Qi took the tea and didn't drink it, but gently put it on the small table next to her.

"My lord has been resting with you lately?" Second Lady Qi asked, and that tone was not so much a question as a statement of facts.

"Mrs. Hui, yes. The weather was getting colder, and the old man said that the study in front of him was colder, so he stopped resting. Aunt Li bowed and replied.

"Oh," Second Lady Qi called a housekeeper's daughter-in-law in, "You will send the silver frost charcoal used on the two baskets to Aunt Li's room later." ”

The daughter-in-law agreed, and withdrew.

"My lord has been busy lately, so you have to serve him attentively." Second Mrs. Qi said to Aunt Li.

"Yes, ma'am." Aunt Li respectfully agreed.

"The master sent someone to the south today......" Second Lady Qi spoke casually, as if she was talking to Aunt Li, and seemed to be talking to herself.

Aunt Li listened respectfully, but she didn't dare to miss a single word that Second Lady Qi said, even if it was a cough.

"Go down and serve the lord with all your heart. If you lack anything, come to me and receive it. Second Lady Qi commanded.

The aunt bent her knees and was blessed, and she was about to withdraw.

"Oh," Second Lady Qi suddenly remembered another thing, "The marriage of the seventh girl has eyebrows." ”

Aunt Li hurriedly stood still, and wanted to ask with a look of surprise.

Second Mrs. Qi looked tired, waved her hand, and asked Aunt Li to step back.

Aunt Li had to come out of the upper room.

…………

This night, the second master of Qi really went to Aunt Li's room to rest again, and Aunt Li had a heart in her heart, and she flattered her more than usual.

"It's winter, and the New Year is approaching, my aunt's side, can my lord send a letter?" Aunt Li saw that the second master Qi frowned, and asked tentatively.

The second master was smigrated by Aunt Li's hand, nodded and replied.

"My aunt hasn't been in Beijing for a few years, and the old lady misses it in her heart, and Miss Yan ......"

The old lady is getting older, and she is more and more worried about the affairs of her grandchildren, and the second master said, "It would be better for them to enter Beijing earlier, and settle down earlier, which fulfilled the old lady's wishes." ”

"Master, my aunt wants to enter Beijing? What are you going to do? Aunt Li asked softly.

Second Master Qi didn't answer. When Aunt Li poked her head to look, she found that Second Master Qi had fallen asleep.

…………

Early the next morning, Aunt Li went to the New Year's Hall to greet Second Mrs. Qi, and then left happily. The second lady of Qi came to live in the new year.

"Look at the old lady, this one is the fourth son of Zhao Shoubei's family, he is a grandson, he is seventeen years old this year, and now he has donated the fame of a cavalry captain. His family was originally a big local clan, and most of the children of the clan were officials outside. There is also this one, who is the nephew of the governor of Jiangsu, and he is also a grandson, only 16 years old, and he has already been admitted to Xiucai, and he will be able to win the next year. These two were carefully selected by the master, and they are still a good match for our seven girls, and now I will ask the old lady what she means. ”

Yi Nian lived in the upper room, and the second lady of Qi took out two Geng posts, saying that it was for Qi Wanyan's family, and asked Rong's opinion.

The little girl presented the Geng post to Rong's, Rong's glanced at it twice, and then handed it to Xun Qingran on the side.

"The dyeing girl will take a look at it for me." Rong didn't wear glasses, and only asked Xun Qingran to look at the Geng post for her.

The Geng post is just a name, age, family background, etc., but it is no different from what Mrs. Qi said.

"The lord and the wife have put a lot of thought into the seventh sister." Xun Qingran said with a smile.

"This family also makes the important thing important is the child's temperament. You're good to visit," Rong said, pausing.

The eldest lady also sat next to her and lowered her head slightly, afraid that she thought of Feng Dengke and Qi Wanrong again.

"Take your picks." Yung Road.

"Yes, then I'll discuss it with the old lady again, and then come back to the old lady." Second Lady Qi said with a smile.

Rong nodded.

"The old lady is really blessed, and our family also has a happy event." Grandma Qi Er laughed with a smile.

"A girl's family always has to get married." Rong sighed, but he was still smiling.

"When it comes to happy events, marrying a daughter is not as good as marrying a daughter-in-law. The seventh sister is going to get married, and there is one less person in our family, so we should also marry the new daughter-in-law and enter the door, so that the old lady will be happy. Grandma Qi Er smiled.

The smile on Rong's face was even bigger, obviously being told by Grandma Qi Er.

"What the old lady said is that Yi'er's marriage should have been decided earlier." Second Lady Qi continued.

"Among these grandchildren, Yi'er has the best temperament and is the most loved by me." Rong said, "I'm not afraid that you will say that I am biased, I just love him." His marriage must always be well chosen, he must know the roots, he must be worthy of his appearance and temperament, and he must be happy himself. ”

"The appearance of the fifth brother, there are a few girls who can be worthy. According to me, you don't have to look far away, there is a suitable one in front of you, but it is no better to be a kiss. Grandma Qi said.

"Hehehe." Yung laughed.

"Yi'er's marriage, Niangniang also mentioned it to me......" Second Lady Qi said.

Rong glanced at Second Lady Qi, "Niangniang naturally wants to be clear." Tomorrow, I will hand over An Zhizi to see when I will enter the palace, and I can discuss it with my mother. ”

Second Lady Qi smiled on her face, but stopped talking.

"Miss Rong, Miss Yan, and Seventh Miss are here." The little girl outside reported a series of reports.

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." Second Grandma Qi winked at Xun Qingran and said with a smile.

"Let them in." Rong commanded with a smile.

Rong Yunnuan, Yan Mingyue and Qi Wanyan streamed in from the outside.

………………

In the bedroom of the second lady of Qi in the prayer hall, Mama Zhang stood under the bed and whispered something, and the second lady Qi leaned on the pillow, frowning and listening.

“…… In the letter, the old man invited his aunt to come to Beijing, and also mentioned his aunt's dowry, saying that it was the old lady's meaning. Mama Zhang told the news she had found out from the front yard and told the second lady Qi all the way.

"Mention Mrs. Gu's dowry?" Second Lady Qi's eyes widened.

"Yes, ma'am. Mrs. Gu's dowry, that's really ten miles of red makeup. Even the princess and the county lord are just that kind of pomp, but I'm afraid that the internal force is still a little inferior. In Mrs. Gu's dowry, there are only 100 hectares of high-quality paddy fields. At the beginning, people said that the aunt married the aunt's wife, and the family would not have to worry about the expenses for several lifetimes. Mama Zhang said enviously, "At that time, my aunt's family didn't need Mrs. Gu's dowry. Now Mrs. Gu is gone, leaving only Miss Yan as a girl. Mrs. Gu's dowry, it stands to reason that she has to make a dowry for Miss Yan, so if the Yan family wants to be decent, they have to add more. Miss Yan's dowry ......"

Second Lady Qi was slightly moved. She watched Yan Mingyue's mother get married, and although the dowry didn't pass through her hands, just what she saw was already very good.

"It's to take advantage of the old lady's still existence to sort out this matter. The old lady only has a daughter, Mrs. Aunt, and she values her son more. At the beginning, there were rumors in the mansion that the old lady favored her daughter and gave most of the belongings of the Guogong Mansion to her daughter as a dowry. Mrs. Gu's dowry is on the surface, but secretly only the old lady knows. Second Lady Qi said.

Mama Zhang peeked at her master, but she heard so much meaning.

"Madam, there is this letter from the master, and there is a place to live in Yinian, the old lady's words, this is already very interesting." Mama Zhang said cautiously.

"Those dowries may not be unaffordable for other people's families." Second Lady Qi said.

Mama Zhang understood what Second Mrs. Qi meant, and nodded in agreement, "That's what Mrs. said." ”

"The old lady has said such things a few times, but I didn't take it." Second Mrs. Qi sat up from the bed, "My daughters-in-law, the eldest * grandmother was set when the old man was alive, and I didn't say anything." The fourth grandmother is the master of the old lady. I only have this one heart and soul baby left, and he is also intimate with me. I have been a daughter-in-law for most of my life, and I have been a mother-in-law for more than ten years. ”

The more Mrs. Qi spoke, the more determined she became.

"Everything else is okay, Yi'er, the daughter-in-law, but she must be with me."
