Chapter Twenty-Three: Aunt Gui in Caolian Mansion (II)
In the house of the queen of the ya, half of the lotus pond has been opened.
"Grandma, the slave inquired." Bi'er hurriedly walked into the back garden, came to the small pavilion by the lotus pond, and whispered to Qi Su Niang: "From Lian Da to Beijing, Aunt Lian often walks around with Wang, Zheng, and Liu's mansions, and they are all playing with these nurses to play money with sparrow cards. ”
Qi Su Niang was taken aback, "How could someone who is so careful with her suddenly pause again at this time." Qi Su Niang slowly put the bamboo work in her hand into the small basket, and the first two strokes of the word "Yan" were just embroidered on it, she sighed, thinking about Lianxiang's preferences on weekdays, "She seems to be a big gambler."
"That's exactly what I said. Grandma, the slave maid inquired, Hai Jing was weak, and if she stared at Yan Yi to see a doctor, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, Aunt Lian took Rui'er to play in Zheng's mansion, and crossed the sparrow cards for three days and two nights, but there was no one in charge in this mansion. On the night of the third day, Aunt Gui and Grandma still saw that it was not good, so she boldly went outside and invited a doctor to enter the door. Otherwise, it's hard to say what the result will be. Biller paused, "As soon as the big boss came back, he locked Aunt Lian and Rui'er in the courtyard, and all the waiters drove out, and only sent some food in this February." ”
Qi Su Niang didn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, she looked at the pink lotus in the lotus pond, "You say, Sister Gui'er ......"
Bi'er said slowly: "No matter what Sister Gui'er thinks in her heart, she has done nothing wrong. Even the second uncle in the house is not there, and the doctors of Tianruitang are all men. If there is no grandmother in charge, it is naturally not in accordance with the rules to invite men into the house outside in a partial house. She waited for three days, and she was still a substitute, but she didn't say a word, and even the uncle couldn't blame her, Hai Jing was originally Aunt Lian's *** son. ”
"Why didn't she let her go to Zheng's mansion to invite Lianxiang back......
"I said I went to ask for it, but I didn't get any reply...... Banba saw her poor person with his own eyes...... Banye is an old man who is even in charge of the family, and he has no reason to hide it for Aunt Gui and Grandma Gui......"
"Banye didn't go with him? Sister Gui'er was so fun, she didn't go with her? Qi Su Niang was puzzled: "But Rui'er followed?" On weekdays, in addition to the nurse, Hai Jing is the one who shines the most......"
"Banye happened to be a little cold, so I didn't go. Rui'er has always listened to Aunt Lian's words, and it is not strange for Aunt Lian to take her out. It's Sister Gui'er," Bi'er pondered: "The slave maid feels that she has lifted the side room, and she is much more cautious in her actions. The man in the family is not there, and Aunt Lian's grandmother goes out twice in three days, which is not a good thing. Fortunately, it's just playing with money, and I have to do something else......"
Qi Su Niang let out a long sigh. Stretched out his hand to play with a few blooming lotus flowers in the vase on the stone table of the small gazebo. "It's hard to set up a main room. The whole city has been posted. Now it's a white joy ......"
Bi'er smiled bitterly: "The slave maid originally watched Aunt Lian's grandmother stand in the main room. I already feel that it is inappropriate. And she will rejoice exceedingly. I forgot about the shape. In the end, he is a little younger. Not stable enough. It's not as calm as Sister Gui'er. ”
"It's still a partial house. It's a small thing to lose face. It's a big deal if my son loses it......"
"Grandma said yes. Now it's two aunts and grandmothers. One is to save the young master and meritoriously get the favor of the house. One is a childless concubine who has been degraded. It's clear who is high and who is low. That minion doesn't have eyes? I heard that Uncle Lian asked Aunt Lian and the daughter-in-law in Rui'er's yard to go back to wait for her in the past two days. Maybe let them out of the yard. I only sleep in Sister Gui's room every day. Look at the sea quiet. The newly brought in concubines waited in front of Sister Gui every day. It's all her idea to do the internal affairs...... The slave and maid really admired ......"
"Once it went wrong. and wiped out all the good things of the past...... Lianxiang didn't hurt Haijing in the past......" Qi Su Niang said abruptly: "But it's no wonder that even the big boss ......"
"It's good that Grandma understands. The slave was also worried that her grandmother was going to intercede. This is unspeakable. Wife's room. It's just having children. Manage internal affairs. Even the big boss is not the only son of Hai Jing. Aunt Lian's grandmother is the mother of Haijingdi. I didn't have to play for three days and two nights. Don't come back to see the truth. It made even the big boss feel it. She didn't treat Hai Jing as her own son. Where can you rest assured......"
Qi Su Niang smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, even if I want to intercede, I must be able to enter the Lian Mansion."
Now, for the sake of Lianxiang, he has offended Lian Da Boss. Lianxiang is locked up, and the ladies in the house will not post it, the more inconvenient it is for me to go to the house, where can I still plead......"
Bi'er shook his head and said, "What grandma said is normal, now that even the big boss is in Yangzhou, he must not offend our master, and naturally he can't offend grandma......"
While speaking, Zhi'er walked in, holding the red sticker in her hand, "Grandma, Aunt Gui in Lian Fuli has posted a post." ”
Qi Su Niang and Bi'er glanced at each other, and Bi'er sighed, "This Aunt Gui really understands very well. ”
Qi Su Niang sat in the repaired blue nick official sedan chair, got off the sedan chair in the sedan chair room of the Lianfu, and walked to the second gate, Sister Gui led Dong Guan'er, Qin Cao'er and other concubines, as well as a bunch of daughters-in-law and girls to catch it, respectfully greeting her, "Concubine body to Mrs. Hello." These days, the concubine has been looking forward to the arrival of her wife, and she is thinking that the city is unstable and there is an accident. I didn't dare to post it until today. ”
Qi Su Niang stretched out her hand to hold her, and said with a smile: "I've always wanted to come and see, but I'm afraid it's inconvenient......"
Sister Gui diligently helped Qi Su Niang across the flying bridge, "When will it be inconvenient for Madame to come to our house?" What kind of temperament does the concubine have, and the lady still doesn't know? is the most fun-loving and noisy, I am afraid that my wife will not be able to stay at home, and the concubine will not find an excuse to be lively. Besides, the lady and the second master haven't seen each other for ten months, and they are looking forward to it
This. ”
Qi Su Niang watched Sister Gui lead all the way to the main room, and said confusedly: "...... Don't go to your yard ......."
"The second master is sitting in the main room...... Ye is also ......"
Bi'er smiled slightly, "Grandma, since the gentlemen are here, there is no reason to go to the main house, so it's better to go to the aunt's yard." I think it's okay to be a new paste, auntie, the slave said? ”
Sister Gui'er giggled: "Miss Bi'er is right, but I am confused." Someone, go to the main room and inform the lady of Futai that she is here. ”
The daughters-in-law opened the Hunan curtain high, and let Qi Su Niang enter the courtyard of Sister Gui'er, which turned out to be a new cluster of mahogany inlaid with silver, rich and festive, and the antiques, calligraphy, paintings and furnishings in the hall were all top-notch goods.
Qi Su Niang sighed secretly, sat down on the Luohan bed, and asked, "Why didn't you see Aunt Zhiying's grandmother...... Then she heard a sound of footsteps, and the daughters-in-law and girls outside said, "The master is here, the second master is here." ”
After Lian Zhenyun and Qi Su Niang finished the noisy, a daughter-in-law had already put a mahogany bench to the side of the couch, Li Siqin stepped forward and sat down, and said with a smile: "Were you scared that day?" I was shocked when I saw your sedan chair broken like that. You didn't go out of the house for seven or eight days, and there are still people outside talking about the last time you were frightened by the scholars and became seriously ill. ”
Qi Su Niang covered her mouth and smiled: "So you are so stupid to me? Seeing the chaos, still sitting in the sedan chair and waiting? At that time, while I was running with Bier, I thought that if I didn't make it, I would just jump into the river and swim back. ”
Li Siqin burst into laughter, "I heard that the Lord of Futai is short of manpower, if you are afraid, I will send my brother to escort you in the sedan chair." ”
Qi Su Niang glared at him, "Talking nonsense again." What does it sound like? He smiled again and said, "He borrowed manpower from Master Cui, the head of Hebiao Qian, and freed up the servants to give it to me." I've brought a sedan chair with me today. Along the way, the Futai gong was smashed to the sky, and the honor guard of the quiet and avoidance of the Difutai was carried, and I couldn't wait to empty the people on the street and let me pass. ”
Li Siqin was slightly stunned, "Borrowed the river pacesetter?" couldn't help but look at Lian Zhenyun, Sister Gui came over, personally presented Qi Su Niang with a cup of Lu'an tea, and laughed with Qi Su Niang while making the daughters-in-law and girls set the table and lay down refreshments.
Li Siqin quietly got up, sat on the chair next to Lian Zhenyun, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, this matter is really related to the eighth master's side, and the river pacesetter helped Lord Futai last time, isn't it when the eighth master wants to jam the prince's silver money?" This time......"
Sister Gui'er took a plate of crispy screw rolls that Qi Su Niang likes to eat on weekdays from the horizontal table, held it with her own hands, and put it on the small table on the couch, "Madame, taste it, this is made by the concubine herself." ”
Lian Zhenyun glanced at Sister Gui'er, smiled slightly, and looked at Li Siqin, "This time in the Jiangnan Township test, there are one hundred and sixteen people in the three lists, and only sixteen people in Suzhou Mansion have been hit, and the rest are mostly the children of salt merchants in Yangzhou Prefecture. ”
Li Siqin was stunned for a moment and thought for a while, "I have also heard that one of the Zhongju I have also heard Huang Er mention that he is the second son of Liu Yanguidi, the owner of the Guazhou Tea Garden. He and Qi San have been friends for more than ten years, and they supply to Qi San every year. ”
Qi Su Niang pinched a crisp screw roll and bit it, smiled and praised, Sister Gui smiled: "The concubine remembers that Mrs. likes to eat a few bayberry, and the concubine has recently learned a new method of pickling bayberry, and she is trying." After two days, I tried it, and then I asked my wife to try it. Madame should come to the house from time to time. ”
Lian Zhenyun listened to Sister Gui'er and Qi Su Niang talking, and picked up the tea with a smile, "Zuo Bifan is the landlord examiner this time, but he just opened one eye and closed one eye, and the ancestral hall at home was almost demolished." The deputy chief examiner is a person under the Tenth Master, and besides, such a matter of wealth is naturally indispensable to our Lord Dutai. Jiangnan Township test, but under his nose in Jiangning City, without his nod, do these people dare to leak out the question? Look, there's still a lot of trouble. ”
Li Siqin laughed, "I heard that a lifting quota is three hundred taels of gold, and Lord Dutai takes half of it, and the rest is the turn of the people below." The eighth master has the support of the salt merchants, and this person who has won the official position, if he enters the court, he is not a person under him? No wonder he was willing to borrow the river pacesetter to Lord Futai. These scholars are not fuel-efficient lamps, Suzhou scholars carried the statue of the God of Wealth of the Five Roads into the Jiangning City Mansion Xue Gong Academy, although they were caught by Kali A few leaders, but now they are getting more and more fierce. We are in Yangzhou Mansion, fortunately, the people of Futai can still hold it. ”
"Banye, please sit down with Miss Bier and bring her a cup of tea." Sister Gui took Bi'er's hand and called.
Lian Zhenyun glanced at Qi Su Niang with a smile on his face, "Those celebrities and scholars are already good friends with the people of Futai. This time, who doesn't know that Mrs. Futai was frightened by the scholars? The broken sedan chair went out of our house, and everyone in Yangzhou City saw it. Although Lord Futai trained the leaders fiercely, in the end, not a single scholar was caught, so they naturally had to give him some face. ”
Li Siqin cracked his mouth, "If it goes on like this, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and this matter has to be suppressed by Kali." ”
Lian Zhenyun smiled slightly, "News from Jiang Ning." Jiangning Weaving Cao Yin Cao has recovered from his illness Cao Yin is not pretending to be sick this time, seizing such a good opportunity, can he not give the eighth master and the salt merchant a slap in the face, so as to avenge the last time in the West Garden? In the end, he is the henchman of the emperor's family......"
