Li Tian listened intently to Cao Si's words, and heard that his aunt would be able to return to the capital in the New Year, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and listened to Cao Si's trivial and detailed report on the situation of shops in Jiangsu, Zhejiang Road and other places, and looked at Cao Si's daughter-in-law and instructed with a smile: "Fourth Brother Cao has worked hard this time, you can rest for a few days and make some delicious supplements for Fourth Brother Cao." ♀ \[Fastest Update\]"

Cao's fourth daughter-in-law smiled, and the two quit together, Yingluo recited a Buddha and smiled: "It's good that my aunt and grandmother are back, and there is finally someone who is really good for the fifth lady and can speak."

"Well," Li Tian responded absentmindedly, thought about it, turned to the east chamber, lifted the curtain and went in, looked at Yue Niang who was sitting on the couch and meditated: "I bother you to take a trip and explain two things to the shopkeeper Cheng, one is to let him pay attention to the whereabouts of the four princes, and the other is to pay attention to the officials to inquire about his uncle Jiang Qingyuan's performance appraisal this year and the matter of next year's dispatch."

"Good!" Yue Niang readily agreed, jumped off the bed, this time she didn't jump out of the window, and went out to the door in a proper manner.

Li Xiaozu was specially called by the four princes to say a few words, came out of the yamen in the evening, and was blocked by Ding Erye, and dragged him alive to drink a few glasses, Li Xiaozu couldn't refuse, and Ding Erye went to the Huixian Tower to drink, until it was lively before and after Wuzheng, and then staggered and drunk and returned to the Yongguo Mansion.

Zhou Da \ Grandma took Li Xiaozu in, busy making people prepare to wake up and sprinkle the soup, and waited for Li Xiaozu to bathe and wash, although Li Xiaozu drank a lot of wine, but he was excited and not sleepy, and pulled Zhou Da \ Grandma incoherently talked about how the fourth prince talked to him, how enthusiastic Ding Erye, Zhou Da \ Grandma listened confused, poured him half a bowl of sobering soup, and asked a little bit for a long time before he figured out what was going on. Why did you ask me to ask a few words that even Li Xiaozu thought was gossip?

"Don't just giggle, how can there be so many good things for this plain reason? What the hell is going on? Zhou Da\ grandma pushed Li Xiaozu who couldn't close his mouth with a smirk, Li Xiaozu shook his head vigorously, his eyes were drunk, and he couldn't hear Zhou Da \ grandma clearly. ()

Zhou Da\ Grandma waited for him to sleep well, sat and thought for a while, sent someone to call Mama Xiao in, said Li Xiaozu's words, looked at Mama Xiao and said worriedly: "Da Lang is a person who has no eyesight and no heart, I can't understand, how can the fourth master know Da Lang?" How can there be such a good thing when he was so deliberately asked to go over and talk? ”

"Could it be the palace of Nanning County?" Mama Xiao hesitated, and Grandma Zhou frowned: "How can our mansion have such a friendship with the palace of Nanning County?" I don't usually come and go

"Except for the Nanning County Palace, how can there be anyone else? It's also that they often come and go with the fourth master in the house, I see," Xiao Mama pointed mysteriously in the direction of Qingtong Courtyard: "The king of Nanning County must be looking at the face of that aunt, big \ grandma think about it, from her back, the little lady in the palace of Nanning County will not talk about it, one trip a day is less, and the princess of the county also sends people over two times in three days, sending this to that, no matter how you say it, it is also a relative, and now we are married to Bachelor Xu's family, I see, our house will really get a little better in the future."

"Well," Zhou Da\ Grandma nodded slowly, nodded again, rolled her eyes and thought for a while, looked at Xiao Mama and said: "This doesn't need to be said to Mrs. in advance, Ming'er I will explain Da Lang, Mrs. is not good when she mentions the palace of Nanning County, Da Lang is a filial piety, don't be in case something happens again, besides," Zhou Da \ Grandma pouted and said: "She is like that, she is said to be virtuous, but in fact, she is a fool, if this matter is known to the second and third rooms, I don't know what will happen, this wealth, we have to stuff our hair!" ”

"What Grandma said is very true, and I mean the same thing, Mama Xiao hurriedly smiled and agreed. 《》

After the incident of the Thousand Tilt Lake, Li Tian guarded the Qingtong Courtyard for half a step, anyway, as long as the four princes were in the capital, she would not go out.

Soon entered September, the seventh day of the first month is the death anniversary of the old Yongguo husband and wife, because it is not a whole day, and it is indeed extremely tight, and she has to be busy preparing Li Yunsheng's dowry and the marriage of the second lady, Mrs. Yang is not ready to do more, and when it comes to the right day, she just prepares wine and three animals, and the family gets together to kowtow a few times.

Early in the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Mama Xiong went to the main courtyard to see Mrs. Yang, and respectfully reported that the five ladies had dreamed of their grandparents almost every night in the past few days, and seeing that the death of their grandparents had arrived, the five ladies wanted to do a ritual for their grandparents to pray for blessings. Mrs. Yang frowned in disgust, after Zhou Chaoshun's incident, she heard the word 'five', and countless sparks burst out of her eyes, but she couldn't say 'no' to this matter, Mrs. Yang's face was gloomy and she hung Mama Xiong for a long time before she said coldly: "This is also her filial piety, Qingtong Courtyard is all female dependents, and like last time, the courtyard is full of monks and Taoists, what kind of system?" Everyone has their own rules, and if you want to do something, go to the front yard to do it

Mama Xiong didn't say a word, respectfully responded, lowered her hand and withdrew, and in the afternoon she called the people from the four divisions and six bureaus from the brokerage house to come over, and set up a shed in the front yard to prepare for the rituals and sacrifices.

Mrs. Xu Er and Mrs. Liu San made excuses, and came over one after the other to take a closer look, and the second Mrs. Xu's daughter-in-law and concubine took advantage of it, and they were in a good mood, so they took a closer look, and gossiped with a few mothers-in-law in the second gate, laughing at Mrs. Yang's stinginess for a long time, and even refused to pay the money for the matter of worshipping the ancestors, so Shi Shiran went back.

Nearly in the evening, Zhou Da \ grandma under the banner of inspection, also came over to see it, Xiao Mama looked around carefully, and Zhou Da \ grandma muttered: "It's all good things, it seems to cost a lot of silver, saying that Puji Temple, Fayun Temple, Fayun Nunnery, Qingfeng Temple have invited people, starting early in the morning, to do it for seven days, that sister has silver, this silver is enough, things will be done decently and beautifully."

"Well, okay, why did you think she suddenly remembered to do this ritual?" Grandma Zhou looked around, and Mama Xiao smiled disapprerovingly: "Grandma thinks a lot, the seventh day of the first month is the death anniversary of the old grandfather and the duchess of the country

"Also," Zhou Da\ grandma said with relief: "Mrs. can't be blamed for this matter, she lost 5,000 taels of silver, this 5,000 taels??" #**Zhou Da\ Grandma remembered the origin of the five thousand taels of silver, and took a painful breath: "It was originally ripped off from Da Lang to supplement her precious girl, who knew that it was counted by others, and now the dowry of the third lady is shabby and even the eldest lady is not as good as the eldest lady back then, she wants to think that the silver can't tie the necks of the Manchu people without eating or drinking, and every penny is bigger than the moon in the sky!" The more Grandma Zhou spoke, the more angry she became, and she sighed lightly and hated: "She also said that the old lady emptied the Guogong Mansion, what is the difference between her and the old lady?" Look at it, when the third lady gets married, you have to move the Guogong Mansion to be emptier than an empty shelf! You want me to make up for it with silver, phew! Think about it! ”

"Big \ Grandma!" Mama Xiao glanced at the dimly lit second door, and screamed reproachfully, Zhou Da\ Grandma exhaled heavily, and she didn't bother to look more, and went back to the inner courtyard with Mama Xiao.

The next day, he did a day of rituals, and in the evening, Li Zhongzhi came back from the yamen, first arrived at the Yongguo Mansion, and did not let people pass the word in, only put on the pillar incense, and asked the time of the next day's sacrifice before going back.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Li Zhongzhi and his wife took their son and daughter-in-law, as well as several clan elders and a few families who did not have five suits to the Yongguo Mansion.

Mrs. Yang was extremely surprised, this death anniversary is just a pillar of incense every year, how can anyone in the clan come? What's going on this year? But the person has already entered the mansion, Mrs. Yang can't think much about it, while urgently sending someone to invite the hangover Yongguo Gong Li Zhongchao, who has not woken up, while taking Zhou Da \ Grandma to the front yard, Li Xiaozu is preparing to go out, and he is also busy sending the little maid to the building to ask for half a day off, this year's death seems to be a little unusual.

Every year on this day, it is the time when Li Zhongchao is the most heartbroken, and it is also the time when he drinks the most, and when Li Zhongchao finally rushed to the front yard with a dark and swollen face, everyone had already stood neatly and quietly, just waiting for him.

In a melodious chanting, Li Zhongzhi was the leader, Li Zhongchao was the auxiliary, leading everyone to perform the sacrificial ceremony, Li Zhongchao and Mrs. Yang were about to let several elderly clan elders and Li Zhongzhi enter the main hall to sit and drink tea, Li Tian stopped in front of everyone, with tears on his face, looked at the patriarch Li Zhongzhi and several clan elders and said: "Four Weng Weng, six Weng Weng, seven Weng Weng, uncle, Tian'er has something to say, to ask Weng Weng and uncles to be the master."

Mrs. Yang stared at Li Tian with an iron face, and a strong uneasiness surged in her heart, what is this Nizi going to do?! Li Zhongchao's mind that had been soaked in wine for many years was dull and dull, and he looked at Li Tian in a daze; Zhou Da\ Grandma looked at Li Tian blankly, looked at Mrs. Yang's face as black as the bottom of a pot, and looked at everyone, I didn't know what Li Tian was going to do, and Li Xiaozu was even more dazed. Mrs. Xu's eyes lit up, staring at Mrs. Yang with undisguised excitement; Mrs. Liu looked at Li Tian vigilantly, quietly pulled the third master Li Zhongjing, glanced at him, and the two of them took half a step back together.
