Chapter 3: The Niece of Lord Dutai
There is a large square table with a mahogany carved crutch pattern in the pavilion, ten kinds of appetizers and dishes, and three kinds of wine. Four mahogany southern official hat chairs are scattered around the table, the fourteenth elder brother and the tenth elder brother sit separately in the north and south, and the eighth elder brother stands at the east end to pick the red sea dragon pattern and incense on several sides to enjoy the flowers.
Qin Daoran hurriedly called the fourteenth elder brother a thousand children, and said with a smile: "The slave heard a news, and hurried to tell the fourteenth master, Chen Bianzhi went to Beijing to report after the three-year examination, and now he has arrived in the capital, and Qi Qiang's sister has also arrived, maybe he is already in a hurry to kowtow to the fourteenth master's mansion to ask for peace." ”
The fourteenth elder brother was stunned for a moment, snorted, and said boringly: "She won't go, it's okay to write a letter to ask for peace, not to mention this season, she was not a domestic slave in my house, I am not sick or sick now, and she has nothing to beg me, how can there be a rule for a woman to come to the door to ask my brother to ask for peace." Still leaning back in the chair, "Maybe her brother can take her into the Ninth Master's Mansion to ask for peace, don't you mean that she is now staring at Jiangnan's goods for her brother?" Why do you have to kowtow to Brother Jiu. ”
Qin Daoran breathed a sigh of relief, and said Qi Qiang's embarrassing things with a lot of words, and slapped the table with a smile from the tenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, and the eighth master looked carefully at the golden ribbon peony on the stilted incense table, and chuckled: "He has been defeated by a woman in his life, not to mention the women in his house, why is he not like this to his sister?" ”
The fourteenth elder brother smiled: "She is different from Qi Qiang's woman, she is a person like her, I talk to her, she is not happy when Fu Yourong is not there, for her brother, her name, rules, and life are gone, fortunately, she has no appearance, and the fourth brother does not take a fancy to her." ”
Brother Jiu sat down in his robe, poured himself a cup of Jiangnan Chun, and smiled at him while drinking, "Nothing good?" Nothing to do, you rushed to talk to her? When it was like that, I asked Concubine De to open her mouth and say to the emperor, she coaxed you a few words, and you stopped and gave it to others, and now you are waiting in my house stupidly, and you can't be better from head to toe, you are also a royal brother."
The fourteenth elder brother said angrily: "She doesn't have any appearance, don't you believe the starling, when she followed Chen Bian on the royal boat, she was stunned and stupid, and shrank in the room every day to make shoes." When she finally got out of the cabin, she lowered her head to her chest and walked against the wall, as if the whole boat was about to eat her. If it weren't for the fact that when she checked the evidence of the river, her brain knew better than Mei Wending, and she dared to look up at people. I thought she was stupid for being abused by Chen Bianzhi's mother. ”
The eighth elder brother sat back at the table and laughed out loud, "She just pretended to be stupid like that, you still wait on the roof of the boat every day, Fu Yourong said that the sun is big in the front cabin, please go to the front to dry the sand table, why did you give him a kick?" The thirteenth man complained to me at that time, saying that he had been running outside for a day, and he couldn't rest for half a while when he returned to the boat, so he was dragged by you to her room, and he was afraid that he would scare her again, so he brought a room of female eunuchs to stare at him. It's a good thing that you talk about rules like this, you say ten sentences, and she can answer half of them. You still have the interest to run to her room every day. Speaking in front of me, I was angry for a while, and I pity her for a while, I can't even say anything about you, she is pretending to be stupid, you are really stupid"
Brother Ten choked out a sip of wine, and laughed: "What about Chen Bianzhi, Chen Bianzhi has no words?" ”
The fourteenth elder brother sneered, "Chen Bianzhi looks honest, he is very good at this matter." Huang Ama valued him, and thought about his father's wrongs, so he followed Huang Ama to run errands, pleasing Huang Amma, and did not say anything on his face, and secretly died with me. Huang Ama wanted to give him a marriage, but he said it was all loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, and he did not retreat. That's it at first, and then you don't want to kick him away? I can't find an excuse I can't look at it, so I work hard in front of her, and finally she is going to withdraw from her family, and in the end, it is still Huang Ama who says a word, telling me to be happy with Bai Huan, and he will be sure that Huang Ama wants to govern the river, and it is not good to make him feel wronged in these small things.
If the emperor hadn't looked at him and saw things like this, he would have understood. The advance and retreat are not chaotic at all. Will he turn the river and go to the state and county to be the chief official? ”
Brother Jiu nodded slowly. Qin Daoran said beside him: "Eighth master." Lord Kali came to worship the Ninth Master yesterday. He arrived in the capital six days ago. Hand over the sign and ask to see you. The emperor has not yet summoned him to answer. The slave looked at the meaning of his words. There was a lot of commotion in Jiangnan. Except for Zhang Boxing and him coming clearly. Chen Bianzhi and him came secretly. He can also control the other Liangjiang officials. Zhang Boxing has always been at odds with him. The emperor will not ask Zhang Boxing. I'm afraid I want to ask Chen Changzhi. I'll see him when I'm done. "I glanced at the fourteenth elder brother." He is now thinking of entrapping Chen Changzhi......"
The eighth elder brother muttered: "What can he think of?" Chen Bianzhi came from a poor background. It's Han again. Now the land is rich and rich, all of which are given by the emperor. He was bent on controlling the river. That also has to be nodded by the emperor. Not as a last resort. He couldn't have been trapped. Again. Although Cao Yin is seriously ill. The three major weaving houses are not as good as before. We don't have to be taboo when we get things done. But there is also his son Cao Zai. The emperor heard some rumors. will ask Chen Bianzhi. This is also the emperor's trust in him. How could the Kali get to him? ”
Qin Dao
Silent. Brother Nine gave him a strange look. "Is there a place that you haven't heard of?"
Qin Daoran smiled bitterly. Glancing at the fourteenth elder brother. "What does Kali mean. It is also to let the slave come and talk to the fourteenth master. Qi Qiangdi's sister was pregnant years ago. In the end, he was not born. At that time, the emperor wanted to marry Chen Biandi. Niece of the Kalidi tribe. He died because of his parents' illness one after another. In the past few years, it has not been time to get married. The woman had defected to him the previous year. In the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion in Jiangning, the old lady fed up. Now I'm also going to Beijing. Her background and character are sharp. It's okay to enter the prince's mansion as a concubine. It's still the high climb of the old change. Her mother's home is withered. Marry and be a concubine. I don't dare to fight with the people of the Fourteenth Master......"
The fourteenth elder brother immediately frowned, "This can't be done." Dong E's clan is a big clan in the Eight Banners, and the niece of Kali's clan is more than half a chip higher than her, even if her parents are dead and she has no mother's support, she is more decent than her. If Mr. has a son, even if it is a concubine, he can overwhelm her. Chen Bianzhi is now rich and noble, it is a good and decent time, Yangzhou thin horses are just some things, Dong E's is different...... "Looking at Brother Jiu," when she gives birth to a son, even if Kali wants to marry his own daughter, I don't care. ”
The ninth elder brother has not yet spoken, but the eighth elder brother smiled and said: "It's just to let Dong E's family marry him, and he didn't say that he would let Dong E's family have a son." Chen Bianzhi has been a government in a place like Yangzhou City for almost three years, and he doesn't dare to steal the slightest bit of fish, are you afraid that she will have no means to let her husband and son? What's the matter, Dong E's parents are not here, and Kali is just to pass the test now, using Dong E's family to show favor to Chen Bianzhi, is it possible that he will stand up for Dong E's family? Rest assured, she won't cry and come to you. ”
The tenth elder brother nodded in agreement, the fourteenth elder brother heard that the eighth elder brother was reasonable, and couldn't help but hesitate, the ninth elder brother put away his smile and said slowly: "Although he and I are in-laws, I don't intercede for him for this." Now that the emperor has abolished the crown prince, he must always set up one, Kali is a full banner and a heavy minister, and we are about to envelop him. Besides, last year, I sent Qi Qiang to discuss those things with him, and he had already responded. He is the governor of Liangjiang, and if he is planted now, he will inevitably have to go to work, and it will be inconvenient for us to do things in the south. Looking at the fourteenth elder brother, "She is your minion, you spoil her and stand up for her is your business, but you have to think about it, what time is it?" If at this juncture, for these small things and big things, what will you do to support her waist in the future? You can't patronize her like you did the last two times. ”
The fourteenth elder brother was stunned when he heard this, slowly stood up, paced around in the water pavilion, and hesitated: "Brothers have a point......
Brother Jiu said slowly: "She must come to my house to say goodbye, you will inform her and tell her not to make trouble in front of Chen Bianzhi for this matter." Dong E's family was born high, Chen Bianzhi married her, and the Chen family's family can be regarded as a leaping dragon gate. Li said that Dong E's character is sharp, and she must also be a rare beauty, as long as she doesn't make trouble, Chen Bianzhi is not unhappy. If Chen Bianzhi is happy, even if he passes the ceremony, he will still be the emperor's favorite minister after passing the pass, and he owes us a great favor. "After a pause," you just told her that when this matter is over, love is up to her. ”
Qin Daoran saw that the fourteenth elder brother was already moved, and hurriedly said: "The son of the governor of Zhili and Chen Bianzhi are in the same year of the Jiangnan Township test in the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi, and now they are from the fourth rank of the household. He married the niece of Litang, and planned to post a post to invite Chen Bianzhi to drink and feast in the past two days, in order not to make the emperor suspicious, and all the people who accompanied him were officials in Beijing in the middle of the year, and when the time came, he asked Dong Eshi to come out to toast Chen Bianzhi.
After a pause, "The slave saw what Master Kali meant, that is, Chen Changzhi was not happy, and he had to set up a trick to make him happy." ”
Two rows of five-grade guards of the Prince's Mansion carried red lanterns to open the way on the streets of the Imperial City, and the fourteenth elder brother came out of the Ninth Lord's Mansion, sitting on the black hooves and hissing on the horse silently pondering, and Fu Yourong beside him was controlling the high point and getting on the green horse, while peeking at his face.
"Dead minion, look at your thief-eyed look, the master will kick you again" Seeing that he arrived at the gate of the prince's mansion, the fourteenth elder brother woke up, glared at Fu Yourong, supported the horse's back, turned over and dismounted.
The first four bright palace lamps were hung on the lintel of the front door of the prince's mansion, Fu Yourong saw that the hem of the fourteenth elder brother's withered lotus-inlaid palace satin brocade robe was wrinkled, rushed up to take care of him, and was waiting for him to enter the door, and the door of the prince's mansion came up and whispered a few words to Fu Yourong.
The fourteenth elder brother strode into the door of the mansion, Fu Yourong chased after him, and said in a low voice: "Fourteenth master, the Chen Mansion of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Guild Hall sent someone to send a post to please An. ”
