Xiao Qishan lived in the Guanyue Pavilion of the Marquis of Changxing's mansion, and the little maid had just replaced the bamboo curtains in his study with blue muslin curtains. I helped him scald a pot of wine, cut a plate of marinated duck gizzards, boiled salted chestnut meat, and peeled a plate of dried peanuts. Xiao Qishan had just come back from discussing with the old marquis, and after taking off his cloak, he drank a glass of wine and asked the little guy: "...... Has Liu Guard been here? ”

The little guy hurriedly said: "I came here once at noon, and you left again when you were not there." ”

Xiao Qishan smiled: "Then go and invite him over, it's a pity not to drink for a long time." The little guy promised to invite someone, and after a while, Liu Zhou opened the curtain of the blue muslin cloth and came in, and smiled after inhaling the taste, "Sir, good Yaxing, it's best to drink soju on such a cold day." ”

Xiao Qishan poured him wine and pointed to the plate of duck gizzards: "...... The lo-mei of Chunxing Hutong. The taste is strange. ”

Liu Zhou laughed, "That lo-mei stall is the fastest, I've wanted to eat it for a long time." He lowered his voice again and said, "...... Tell Mr. about serious things...... The prince went to the Gu family today, took Li Xianhuai mysteriously, and his subordinates followed him all the way, and watched him enter the boudoir of the young lady. You said, it's all this time, is there anything strange about the prince's behavior? ”

It is an eventful time, and Ye Limit has always been thoughtful. But let them guard against him, lest they spoil great things.

Xiao Qishan smiled when he heard this: "...... The eldest lady of the Gu family is amazingly beautiful, there is nothing strange. "Ye Liang invited him to Yanjing, didn't he just treat Gu Jinchao's mother! Xiao Qishan thought of the gentle and kind appearance of the eldest lady of the Gu family again, and his heart was tired. said to Liu Zhou, "I watched him grow up, and I thought he would be able to make a career." But I didn't expect him to be young, and the hero was sad to pass the beauty pass! "It's still such a bale beauty with no face.

No matter how hard-hearted Ren Ye is limited, Miss Gu still wants to be tempered into a finger twist.

Xiao Qishan felt a little disappointed in addition to feeling funny.

Liu Zhou looked at Mr. Xiao's contemptuous appearance, and knew that he was very disapproving of this eldest lady. He didn't continue to talk, but sat down to have a drink with Xiao Qishan and talked about interesting things that happened in Gyeonggi. Both were drunk. Liu Zhou's mind was cloudy, and he suddenly asked him with a knotted tongue: "Sir...... I never understood that Changxing was waiting for you so well...... Have you ever hesitated in your heart? ”

Xiao Qishan knew that he had drunk too much, otherwise he wouldn't dare to talk to him like this on weekdays.

He saw that Liu Zhou was going to lie on the table. Only then did he say lightly: "Prince Cheng shook the world all over the world back then, quelled the Tuxie Tuhan rebellion in Outer Mongolia and the Monan Chahar rebellion, and was loved by the people. Zhu Houxi had murderous intentions towards Prince Cheng, captured his wife and children, and forced him to rebel...... He served the country and the people, and he had no merits, but in exchange for such a fate...... What Prince Rui, Changxinghou, how can there be one-tenth of Prince Cheng! ”

Thinking of the brave and warlike Prince Cheng back then, Xiao Qishan was a burst of regret.

Such a character was actually beheaded by Changxing Hou. How could he not be resentful! What's more, Prince Cheng has the grace of knowing him! So even if he knew that Prince Rui had the courage to achieve great things, he would help calculate the long-term prosperity.

After overthrowing the Marquis of Changxing's mansion, Prince Rui will be able to successfully obtain military power, and Lord Zhang's power will no longer be hindered in the court, and everyone will wait and see with their eyes open.

"Those who achieve great things have always been ruthless and unrighteous." Xiao Qishan smiled. Ye Liang is this character. He has always been deeply stunned, so he has to keep a few points for Ye Quan's means of curing diseases, otherwise how can he not be complete for more than ten years.

Now everything is ready, just waiting for the east wind to come.

Jin Chao was also thinking about Changxing Houjia in his heart. She also heard Gu Dezhao say that her father's official position, except for the second uncle who helped her father run. During this period, the fifth aunt asked Changxing Houjia for help. If it turns out that his father was a neutral faction, and now he is also classified into the forces of the Changxing Hou faction, if the Changxing Hou Mansion declines, I am afraid that the Gu family will only have one way to force the fifth aunt to death.

At least certainly in the eyes of others.

Jin Chao's gaze fell on a pair of bracelets wrapped in silk and Tian Baiyu sent by the fifth lady. The fifth lady has always been gentle and can be forced to commit suicide...... I don't know what the people of the Gu family will do to her!

Jin Chao felt a chill in his heart.

Caifu came in to freshen up her, and she was going to Feng's for breakfast at three o'clock.

After a while, Xu's mother came in. He bowed and whispered to Jin Chao: "The young lady asked the slave and maid to inquire about it, and she asked it clearly." ”

Jin Chao wanted to know the general situation of the Gu family's several rooms, who was in charge of the property in the public middle school, and who was in charge of the affairs of the inner courtyard, so as not to go to Feng's place to serve and not know. was pinched by others.

Xu's mother said, "...... The ancestral family's property is not much, and the slave maid has calculated it, and now the dowry and objects of the lady in your hand can be offset against the property of the Gu family, not counting those in the hands of our master. These things have always been taken care of by Mrs. Tai in her hands, and Mrs. Tai also intervened in the affairs of the inner courtyard, but nominally the fifth lady assisted in the management, but now that the fifth lady is pregnant, it is the second lady who manages the most. And the second master and the fifth master don't meddle in these...... The ancestral family now has only one concubine, the second cousin, and the other concubines are not outstanding. ”

Jin Chao smiled: "No wonder the Feng family treats me affectionately." "Although the things in her hand are not small, they are only equivalent to a medium-sized family, and the Gu family's industry is comparable to hers, which is a little stretched! However, looking at the style of the ancestral family, it is several times that they are in Shi'an.

Mother Xu smiled lightly: "If you want to say that the property of the ancestral family is really small, but the expenses are large, sometimes you can't make ends meet in a year, and you have to sell the things in the house." The family always has a pomp and circumstance, and the face must be good-looking! ”

Jin Chao continued, "There is nothing strange about the family of scholars who are always bad at business. "Scholars boast of high status, and they disdain to be businessmen. For example, if you open a gold and silver building to put money in the seal and make a restaurant and a tea house, they will think that the money is too bad for their identity.

Now that they have returned to their ancestral home, their food and clothing are also in their ancestral family's expenses, and their father's little money can do anything. Maybe Feng will let Gu Dezhao take out money to make up for it from time to time, and his father will definitely not refuse.

Jin Chao thinks about it and feels a headache, so it's better for his father to go! They are protected by their ancestors, and it is impossible for them to give nothing.

When she arrived at the East Cross Courtyard, Feng had just gotten up, and she was served by Rosin Xiang and combed the small clutch and smeared the osmanthus head oil, and the black small clutch was very shiny. Feng's face was reflected in the mercury mirror, which inevitably looked mean.

Jin Chao invited An, and Feng Shi said slowly: "...... You help me grind the demon first. "Feng has the habit of copying a volume of Buddhist scriptures after breakfast.

Jin Chao promised to go to the study, and Feng came after breakfast, but he was not in a hurry to copy the Buddhist scriptures, but sat cross-legged on the big kang and closed his eyes to recuperate. She opened her eyes and glanced at Jin Chao before she said, "The woman's standing posture and good looks are the first thing." Keep your back straight, your waist tense, and don't hold your head and chest...... Where will it not look good! ”

Jin Chao pursed his lips, when grinding ink, he naturally had to bow his head and bend over, how could he grind ink while standing straight like that.

She said yes and straightened up. Feng didn't let herself polish her ink, she was just in the ancestral family now, so she always had to be obedient.

After more than half an hour, Feng asked Jin Chao to come over and wash her hands and burn incense. Jin Chao breathed a sigh of relief...... It's really tiring to stand still like that!

Feng has copied the Buddhist scriptures, and the lord, wife, and grandchildren of the Gu family will come over one by one to say goodbye. At this time, Feng asked her to stand aside and hold a tea cup with blue glaze and white porcelain for herself, and when people came to salute, the Jin Dynasty would also return the salute one by one. She also gradually figured out Feng's attitude towards everyone. Feng valued the eldest grandson Gu Jinxiao the most, and asked him a lot about his schoolwork. Her favorite ones are Gu Lian and Gu Jinxian, and when other concubines came to ask for peace, they all responded lightly.

The fifth lady came over and said that she would make a new autumn coat for the servants of the Zhufu in the autumn, so she used an ordinary cotton ruler, and the mother-in-law with a head and face made a match of dark satin, and Feng responded very happily. He pulled her and said a lot of thoughtful words, and when the fifth lady left, she said to Jin Chao: "Your fifth aunt...... The heart is very good, if you don't understand anything on weekdays, you can ask her. ”

The second lady sent the account of the expenses of the previous month, and Feng frowned when he saw it.

The second lady looked at it and said, "...... The third brother's family moved over, and it coincided with Chongyang. It's normal for this to be a little more expensive. ”

Feng Shi said: "Then there is no more than forty percent of the truth, that is, the embroidery master invited by Sister Pian's son, the bundle is thirty taels...... That embroidery master didn't come over last month! Besides, your third brother came over, and those things were all from the treasury of the house, how could there be two pear blossoms and wood small tables......"

Speaking of which, it's just a small head, and the second lady was a little anxious when she heard it: "The embroidery master didn't come, but he couldn't help but give the silver, that is the poor sister is unwilling to learn, and the pear blossom wood is lacking in the house." The third brother always added a lot of things when he came to the house...... Mother take a closer look! ”

Feng Shi was a little unhappy: "I'm still afraid that my wife's eyes will have problems, right?" If you go back to accounting, don't always talk about expenses in the name of your third brother. ”

The second lady took the booklet and promised, and suddenly remembered something, and smiled: "Mother, the third lady of Cao from Huaixiang Hutong came to me before, and she wanted to tell our family about family affairs." She wanted to tell Sister Lan about her nephew......"

Mrs. Cao San in Huaixiang Hutong? Isn't that Mrs. Mu's sister, could it be that it's Mu Zhizhai's business?

Jin Chao immediately concentrated, and listened to Feng Shi ask indifferently, "Which nephew is she?" ”

The second lady said: "You forgot, it's the eldest son of Lord Shao Zhan Shimu." I also think it's good to hear Mrs. Cao San, they promised a rich dowry, and they don't care that Sister Lan has to keep the system for a year, but they are affectionate! ”

Jin Chao thought to himself that this was enough to reverse black and white, and desperate could also be said to be affectionate!
