Chapter 263 Entrustment (1)
The day of Aunt Zhu's grave relocation was set for half a month later, and during the period of preparing to move the grave, Gong Yuanke behaved as usual, leaving early and returning late, seeing all the people he should see, and he didn't walk around or talk nonsense, and there was no situation that Gong Zhongsu was worried about. (Vertex Hand Hit)
Gong Zhongsu was completely relieved of him, and felt that he had handled it properly, and he really figured it out. So it was decided that two days before the grave was moved, the news of Aunt Zhu's illness and death was disseminated, and the grave relocation became a funeral affair to cover up the past.
Aunt Li went to Ming Fei to gossip, talked about it, and sighed: "If you want to talk about the third son, it is really filial." If he hadn't tried his best, I'm afraid his aunt would have been like this. ”
Ming Fei smiled: "In this way, the third prince is no longer angry with the master these days, but is buried in things?" ”
Aunt Li said: "Exactly, the master is very happy, just wait for Aunt Zhu's matter to be over, and I will say goodbye to the third lady." ”
Ming Fei was surprised: "Say kiss? In this way, you are already optimistic about others? Didn't you say a few days ago that there was no suitable person? ”
Aunt Li said with a smile: "Because there are no suitable people who come to propose marriage, the lord has the heart to find her mother-in-law in the third lady's house, and a few days ago he sent a letter to a friend in Xuzhou who had a good personal relationship in office, asking the adult to help choose a good family." There may be a reply in a few days. ”
Married to another place? That also fits Gong Jingqi's intentions. Ming Fei said with a smile: "If the family matter is decided, I have to ask my aunt to come over and talk to me in advance, so that I can send the silver promised to the third sister over so that she can prepare the dowry." ”
Aunt Li should resign.
The golden hairpin sent her back and said with a smile: "Grandma, Aunt Li has been coming very diligently these days." ”
Ming Fei said: "She is also a poor person, and she has no chance to fight if she wants to." She always came to talk to me, carefully served the master and the second lady at home, and never dared to offend a few young ladies and sons easily, just to leave herself a way back. "There are no children and no daughters, and she is nearly twenty years younger than Gong Zhongsu, Gong Zhongsu is still alive, if Gong Zhongsu dies, she will be helpless.
Jin Hairpin nodded: "She is also quite measured, the second son is not a mean person, and she will definitely not be made to suffer in the future." ”
Ming Fei said: "Even if the second son refuses to care about her, as long as she is willing to live in our Zhuangzi, she can live for a long time." ”
Hua Pozi said: "Why doesn't she refuse?" She is a shrewd person, and she comes to you every once in a while to talk a few words, and easily gets her livelihood in place for the rest of her life. ”
Ming Fei smiled faintly: "It's just a lot of people, and it won't add much trouble." ”
The master and servant talked and laughed, and watched the flower woman teach a few brocade to learn to play the knot. Ming Fei found that Jinyun, who seemed a little clumsy, had a pair of skillful hands, not to mention the appropriate color matching, and his comprehension and patience were obviously stronger than the other three, and he could draw inferences from one another; And Jinqi, who usually behaves the smartest, likes bright and eye-catching colors, and also has her own opinions, but everything is fast, and she has made a mess of the silk rope several times; Jin Hui and Jin Xia behaved in general, decent, and even the colors imitated the flower woman's coming, and they didn't miss anything.
Ming Fei secretly instructed Jin Hairpin and Hua Pozi: "Focus on observing Jinyun." If there is nothing wrong with her character, let her practice her hands on important occasions in the future. Jin Qi has to polish it, and Jin Hui and Jin Xia can be arranged to be on duty tomorrow. ”
Hua Pozi responded, raised her eyes and glanced at the copper leaky pot, and said, "Shen Zheng has been here for a moment, and the uncle is going home." The slave had to go to the kitchen and watch the preparation of dinner. ”
Ming Fei raised his hand to let a few brocades disperse, washed his hands and brewed a pot of Junshan silver needles, and as soon as he set the teacup, Gong Yuanhe's footsteps sounded at the door.
Jin Hairpin stepped forward to take Gong Yuanhe's hat, took out his homely robe, and said with a smile: "Grandma's time when the uncle arrived home turned out to be exactly the same. ”
Gong Yuanhe smiled reluctantly, stretched out his hand and waited for Ming Fei to untie his belt: "What are you going to eat tonight?" ”
Seeing his reluctant smile, the golden hairpin hurriedly bowed his head and retreated.
Ming Fei hung up the official uniform he had changed into for him, and said: "What I do is a few home-cooked dishes, duck paw soup soaked in belly, stir-fried fresh bamboo shoots, vegetarian tofu skin rolls, raw fried pepper and salt meat, stir-fried cabbage heart." The ninth sister steamed an extra egg for Shan'er. ”
Gong Yuanhe said: "Immediately ask people to invite Ninth Sister and Shan'er to come over for dinner together, and then let the kitchen add two dishes." ”
Ming Fei hurriedly called the golden hairpin in: "You go and ask Miss Cousin to bring Brother Shan over for dinner." Another called Jinyun: "You go and tell Mother Hua that Miss Biao's dinner doesn't need to be sent over, send Brother Shan'er's eggs here, and let Jin Niangzi make a scallion roasted sea cucumber, a bad fish fillet, and cherry meat together." ”
After arranging, Fang poured a cup of tea for Gong Yuanhe and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Gong Yuanhe frowned and said, "Brother Deng and the twenty-one main culprits will be beheaded after five days, and the rest will be exiled to the bitter cold land for five thousand miles." I originally thought that even if I didn't wait for his two sons to be found, I would wait until after the spring ploughing was over, who knew it would be so soon. ”
"And when are you going to go to Fuming?" Ming Fei knew that the execution of the Dafeng Dynasty was generally not carried out when the farming was busy, in order to teach the people to have the opportunity to watch it in order to achieve the effect of deterrence. Now it is set in the spring plowing and sowing period, which is indeed a bit special, but on the other hand, it also shows the determination and strength of the imperial court to rectify the act of selling illicit salt.
Gong Yuanhe said: "I'll leave the day after tomorrow, the coffin has been prepared a long time ago, go ahead of time to see if I can let the ninth sister and Shuangshou see Brother Deng for the last time." ”
Later, Deng Jiu and Mrs. Liu hurriedly rushed over with Shan'er, and as soon as Mrs. Liu entered the door, a pair of eyes stared at Gong Yuanhe and Ming Fei in a panic. Although Deng Jiu's face was anxious, he could still maintain his composure, first greeted each other with the two, and then asked Shan'er to come forward and salute, and after the guest and host sat down, he said tentatively: "I don't know what kind of happy event is today?" ”
Ming Fei took a small box for Shan'er to play with, and said with a smile: "If there is no happy event, I can't call you over to eat together?" You haven't brought Shan'er here for a few days, and I miss him. She had discussed with Gong Yuanhe before, if she told Deng Jiu about the matter before the meal, Deng Jiu would definitely not be able to eat this dinner, and if she wanted to say it, she would have to wait until after the meal.
Deng Jiu saw Shan'er happily lying in Gong Yuanhe's arms with the box, gave Mrs. Liu a look, and smiled reluctantly, "He hasn't slept very well these days." ”
Mrs. Liu stepped forward to coax Shan'er with some trepidation: "Brother Shan, uncle is tired for a day, don't bother uncle, mother will take you out to play." ”
When Shan'er heard this, he didn't speak, lost the box, put his face on Gong Yuanhe's lap and hugged his knees tightly. Gong Yuanhe hugged him with a smile: "Brother Shan wants to be hugged by uncle?" ”
"Look at the big dog." Shan'er nodded, and smiled timidly at Ming Fei. Ming Fei looked at the child at this time, and felt that he was very pitiful, so he gently touched his face, and said to Gong Yuanhe: "There are still some times for dinner, you take him out for a walk." When the food is delivered, I will have someone come and call you. ”
Gong Yuanhe smiled and lifted the mountain high: "Obey." ”
Deng Jiumu saw Gong Yuanhe and Shan'er's backs disappear at the door, looked back at Ming Fei and said, "Brother He's temper is much better now, and he is more willing to smile than before." ”
Ming Fei smiled: "I don't think he likes to laugh as much as he used to." In the past, there was nothing serious about saying something that made people laugh, but now it is often with a straight face and a serious one. ”
Deng Jiu sighed: "But I feel that he is happier and calmer than before." It's all thanks to you, and I think you'll be able to do well in the future. ”
Ming Fei smiled: "It should be." She subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Liu... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
