Pingkangfang's new home is a set of five in and five out of the big courtyard, the previous owner is a grandfather of the country's concubine, after the grandfather cut the knight, the house was confiscated by the imperial court and auctioned again.

On the first day of arriving in Beijing, Wang Qifang walked around the entire courtyard, and she only had one feeling, that is, the former owner must have been quite favored by his old man.

Not to mention the location, to be neighbors with the princess and the princesses, this kind of house is not just something that can be done with money. In addition to the good location, every brick and tile of this courtyard is quite elegant, and the pavilions and pavilions are also very elegantly designed.

Li Jingtian said that after he bought this courtyard, he simply trimmed the huā grass and trees, as well as the doors, windows, and window paper in the lower courtyard, and by the way, checked whether the tiles on the lower roof were in good condition. Other than that, the other basic aspects have not been touched before.

The next morning, after Wang Qifang got up, had breakfast with the children, and began to make formal arrangements for housework. Yesterday she only had time to walk around the garden, and then she was in a hurry to see her brother, and the salutes and the subordinates had not yet been properly settled.

Coincidentally, there is another Miss Table, even if Wang Qifang doesn't care about other people and things first, this Lu Lady must settle down.

"Grandma Da Shao, the slave maid thinks that the eldest young master is very unusual to the fourth lady of the Lu family." Zizhu served shì Wang Qifang had breakfast, and watched her gently send the children to Mama, and then came to Wang Qifang, reminding her with some worry.

In order to show that she is not unfounded, Zizhu also deliberately found an example: "You see, it is also a cousin, the eldest young master is very cold to Aunt Cui, and even a little disgusted. But she was very concerned about Mrs. Lu, not only personally helped her arrange a place to live, but also specially selected two maids to serve her. ”

You must know that receiving visitors and arranging food and lodging for relatives are all the responsibilities of the hostess, and now the eldest young master bypasses his wife to "personally intervene in the affairs of the inner house", and anyone who knows can understand that the eldest young master is just seeing relatives who have been separated for 20 years, and his heart is moving, "This is why he left his cousin without waiting for the hostess to speak." But outsiders who don't know will mistakenly think that the eldest young master does not wait to see the eldest young grandmother and does not save face for the eldest young grandmother.

Fortunately, this is a new house, and most of the people who came with it were the henchmen of the two masters, if it was placed in the ancestral house in Pingzhou, or there were three or five mothers-in-law with broken mouths, the new home had not yet waited for people to live, and there would be gossip.

Wang Qifang shook her head: "Cui Yunniang and Lu Qiuniang are different. One is the aunt who the eldest aunt stuffed herself, and she has no blood relationship at all: the other is the niece of her biological mother's mother's family, a veritable cousin blood relative, and the two are very likely to be childhood sweethearts.

Of course, she couldn't say this to Zizhu, so she pretended to be generous and said: "The fourth lady of the Lu family is the cousin of the eldest young master and a relative of our Li family. It's just that we have just arrived in the capital, and I have been busy for another day, and I am already too tired to do so. The eldest young master personally settled the guests, this is considerate of me, don't talk nonsense. ”

"But, Grandma"

When Zi Zhu heard this, he wanted to persuade him again, but Li Jingtian walked in and said with a smile: "Hehe, Zi Zhu is right, this matter is my mistake." When the sister saw her cousin, she patronized and was happy, "But she took away the lady's errand, don't be angry." ”

Li Jingtian has also lived in the Guogong Mansion with a complicated relationship, "Naturally, I can hear the deep meaning of Zizhu's words." However, Wang Qifang's answer made him very hot, the lady is really a tolerant and generous person, and he will be relieved to hand over his cousin to the care of the lady in the future.

"What did you say?" Wang Qifang got up and sat opposite him, and said angrily: "It's so easy for you to see your relatives, it's normal for others not to understand, how can I not understand the reason?" ”

It's good that two people have a common secret, and invisibly, it brings each other closer.

Li Jingtian's eyes flashed with a smile, and he said in a soft tone: "What the lady said is that you still understand my heart." ”

"It's one thing to understand, though, but it's another thing to follow the rules." Wang Qifang sat up straight and said, "Since I am married to you, I am the head of the Li family, in charge of everything in the inner house." It is my responsibility to preside over the feed, entertain guests, and take care of relatives" is also the right of my director, Qi Niang hopes that the eldest young master can understand this, and I also hope that you can achieve it. ”

The ugly words must be said in front, they are husband and wife, and there are still decades to spend together in the future, and some things must be understood by Li Jingtian.

Li Jingtian heard this, and nodded hurriedly, "Ji knows that I know, Qi Niang, don't worry, it's only this once, not an example." ”

Wang Qifang saw Li Jingtian's expression, and it was not good to continue to keep a straight face, so she burst out laughing and said, "Hehe, that's what I said." By the way, I counted the people in our house just now, because we came to the capital temporarily, and there were not many maids and mothers-in-law with us. In this way, there are not enough people in the house. In addition, it is too shabby for my cousin to have only two maids. ”

"Oh? The lady said that she had the final say in this matter, if there was a shortage of manpower, she would send Li Gui to find someone to find someone later, and according to the practice of the house, she would buy some maids and leave. ”

Li Jingtian has just been taught a lesson, where do you dare to talk nonsense.

"The eldest young master listened to me finish speaking, I mean, how long will we stay in the capital?

If it takes a long time, I will buy more and complete the courtyards in the house. If the time is short, let's buy less, or simply not buy, and when we are done, we won't leave too much trouble to deal with. ”

Wang Qifang glanced at him, and then said tentatively: "And my cousin, is she going to travel with us to Beijing?" If they are together, I can choose the next person to serve her according to the specific situation. ”

"Cousin?" Li Jingtian was really asked, to be honest, he didn't know what his cousin was thinking, and frowned: "Yesterday, my cousin was very moved and cried for half a night, but he didn't say much. I only vaguely learned that my cousin had died of her husband, and her in-laws said that she was a husband, so they kicked her out. The Lu family was so involved by the Li family that they were beheaded all over the house, and the cousin was homeless at all.

"Does that cousin have any children?" Wang Qifang saw that Lu Qiuniang's age was not young, not thirty, but twenty-four or five. A pure native of the Great Zhou like her, she got married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and her children are estimated to be seven or eight years old.

"She didn't say, and I didn't ask." When Li Jingtian heard Wang Qifang say this, he suddenly realized that he didn't know anything about his cousin.

On the ground, Li Jingtian's sanity and calmness, which had temporarily disappeared due to the reunion of his relatives after a long absence, all returned, he slowly suppressed his smile, and said lightly: "Qi Niang, you don't care about your cousin's affairs first, let me ask you carefully." When it's confirmed, I'll ask the lady for help. ”

Damn, it's only been a few days since the days of peace and stability have passed, and he's become so unvigilant?

In the coup d'état in the capital that year, the Li family and the Lu family were almost wiped out, and he was brought back to Pingzhou by his uncle in advance, so he was not caught by the government. What about cousins? She was only four or five years old at the time, and how did she escape this disaster?

Also, how did my cousin know that he was in Pingkangfang? Or happened to be looking for him on the day he arrived in Beijing?

PS: Well, a certain Sa is really getting more and more decadent, and he spits on himself. Let's do this today, and make up for it tomorrow! @。
