(Cat flutter Chinese ) The fifth prince entered the weeping flower gate and was walking out with red sleeves, the fifth prince suddenly stopped and stared at red sleeves, what is she doing here? The five princes subconsciously glanced at the little girl standing at the door of the main house, this is not easy to ask here, the red sleeves respectfully stepped aside, lowered his head and bent his knees, the five princes obliquely red sleeves, slowly walked past her, and strode into the upper room. The latest free chapters of the book can be found here.
Li Tian was eating, and when he saw the five princes coming in, he hurriedly put down the bowl and was about to get off the kang, the five princes waved his hand and said, "You hurry up and eat, why do you eat so late?" ”
"There are a lot of people to see." Li Tian sat back, picked up the bowl and continued to eat, Yingluo and Taozhi waited for the five princes to go to the robes outside, washed and changed clothes, Li Tian had already eaten, Qingzhi sat in front of the tea table in front of the kang, and was making tea with a set of exquisite purple sand teapots and teacups, the five princes stood and watched for a while, Li Tian explained: "I like to drink tea, let them try a new method." ”
"Well," the fifth prince sat on the kang, took a sip of a cup of tea, and nodded slightly absentmindedly: "It tastes good, is it okay today?" Red Sleeves just came? ”
"Well, you sent all the tent rooms?" Li Tian didn't answer the words of the five princes, but asked rhetorically, and the five princes nodded: "Since you think our house is not good, let them go back." Li Tian pursed his lips and smiled, and said concisely about seeing Mama Qiao and the others in the morning, the fifth prince frowned, but did not speak, Li Tian continued: "What I mean, since you think that these people in the East Courtyard are not good to use, these eight girls are best to put in one place with them, they are all unknown, so it is convenient, as for your inner study, it is better to choose another courtyard and arrange another person to serve you, you see?" ”
"The inner study is not in a hurry, wait until you take care of the people in the house, what are the red sleeves doing?" The fifth prince had red sleeves in his heart, and asked again, Li Tian said casually, "It's nothing, come and thank you, and then ask about the eight girls." ”
"Thank you for what?" The fifth prince chased after him vigilantly, and Li Tian glanced at him: "The red-sleeved waiter, you must be very good everywhere for so many years, otherwise you can't treat her like that, so I gave her a monthly increase and added two little girls of five hundred yuan to her." The five princes stared at Li Tian, Li Tian looked back at him honestly, and the five princes who were looking back looked away in a panic.
"That's right," Li Tian didn't seem to notice the embarrassment of the five princes, and opened his mouth unhurriedly: "Those Zhuangzi in our house, I looked at the map of the ground, it's not good, but it can't be said that there is no benefit at all, it's just that it takes a lot of effort, today the big steward and the small steward of the village are here, and they also brought more than a dozen good hands in charge of the Zhuangzi, I want to ......"
"You are in charge of this matter," the fifth prince interrupted Li Tian's words: "Who can understand this?" I don't know who you learned this from, you can do it, if there is anything you want to ask, I'll go to the inner library to help you ask. ”
"That's not true," Li Tian didn't say much when he saw him like this, and the fifth prince saw that she was sipping tea and stopped talking, and was silent for a moment and said: "Qingfeng Lou and Shunji look almost the same, these people in the mansion, if they think it's not good, they should be sent away." ”
"It's to send it away, but seeing that the New Year is approaching, the top and bottom are all happy, it's not good to send people at this time, wait for the New Year, and I don't care about the use of this month and two months." Li Tian explained in a low voice: "These people in the account, tomorrow I will ask people to give them two more months of money." ”
Seeing that she was thinking so much, the fifth prince felt even more relaxed, she thought more than she thought, it was really reassuring to have such a person to take care of the backyard, the fifth prince yawned comfortably and said: "It's all up to you, I have to pick the subordinate officials of the county king's mansion a year ago, and Ming'er will call me early." ”
The palace of Jin'an County is still a big sieve, and among the things of Li Tian's housekeeper director, the news is the fastest, and everyone is also the most interested, one is that Mama Qiao and Mama Qiao picked out the eight girls who served the prince and the princess, and the second is that the five princes sent twenty-seven tents with one sentence, and the third is that the red sleeves have the treatment of an aunt.
In the afternoon of the same day, Mrs. Sun heard about two of the three pieces, and sent away the mother-in-law who passed the news, Mrs. Sun's face became more and more ugly, raised her hand and motioned to Mama Lu to hand the Suhexiang wine to herself, and drank two or three sips in a row, only then did she suppress the wild beating of her heart due to anger, closed her eyes and slowly adjusted her breath for a while, and handed the wine to Mama Lu who looked frightened and worried, and said in a tired and weak voice: "It's okay, she is the person selected by the concubine, I thought she must be a very clear heart, and I also specially confessed to her for most of the day before going to the palace of Jin'an County, How could she do such a stupid thing? ”
As soon as Mrs. Sun spoke, her anger gradually surged up: "I told her thousands of times, since she arrived at the Fifth Brother's Mansion, she had to prepare to die in the Fifth Brother's Mansion, the Fifth Brother and his wife were her masters, she had to put the Fifth Brother and his wife in the forefront, let the Fifth Brother, let the Nizi see that she was loyal, and saw that there was only one master in her eyes, she had to be trusted first, and she had to stand up first, and she didn't listen to a word!" ”
The more Mrs. Sun spoke, the more angry she became, and she couldn't stop coughing, and Mama Lu hurriedly handed over Su Hexiang wine and persuaded: "Don't be angry, Ancestor, it's not worth it." Mrs. Sun waved her hand and didn't take Su Hexiang's wine: "No, I know that she is gone, and those girls are also gone, I don't know how many people are still lifted in broad daylight by her idiot, I told her that she can't underestimate that Nizi, in terms of heart, I'm afraid that the concubine is not as good as her, and she didn't listen!" I will enter the palace early tomorrow morning, and I have to find a reason to transfer her out of the Fifth Brother's Mansion. ”
"The concubine is worshipping with the official's family in the suburbs outside the city." Mama Lu reminded her carefully, and Old Madam Sun was stunned, raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, and after a while, she sighed and said, "Maybe you can't blame Qiao Shanggong, if she didn't receive the meaning of the concubine, how could she dare to forget all my words?" Where did Mama Lu dare to answer this, she was shocked when she even listened to it.
"The concubine's ideas have become bigger and bigger over the years," Old Madam Sun's tone was very tired: "I took the throne from the official family...... Also, she has been in charge of the harem for all these years, how can she still listen to me? I'm old," Mrs. Sun let out another long sigh, and her sigh was full of sadness and tiredness.
"The concubine listens to the words of the ancestor the most," Mama Lu cautiously persuaded: "I have heard the concubine say seven or eight times, when the official family was diving, if it wasn't for the ancestor guiding her step by step, how could she have the glory of being in charge of the harem today?" After all, the concubine is by the side of the official family, and if there is anything, she will definitely be able to see it more clearly. ”
The corners of Mrs. Sun's mouth moved, and she couldn't tell whether she was smiling or sighing: "It would be nice if she could see it, how many times have I told her, the fifth brother is older, he is the prince of the year, and he has become a prince of the year, and he has become a family and opened the mansion, and he can no longer be regarded as a helpless child at that time, but she is used to it, and her eyes just can't see the fifth brother grow up, just like she can't see her getting old." Old Madam Sun said depressedly with half-closed eyes, Mama Lu didn't dare to answer again, sighed softly, and looked at Old Madam Sun worriedly, there are no outstanding people in the two generations of the Ye family, if the ancestor has three long and two short, the Ye family is afraid that it will go downhill.
