Chapter 181: The End of the Year (I)

She only asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make a Rubik's Cube, how did it have anything to do with the chessboard and stool?

When Shi Niang gave the drawings to Mr. Bai, she also told him to let the master of the Internal Affairs Department who can make clocks and watches take a look...... Is it out of shape?

She went back to the house full of confusion, and saw Xu Lingyi looking at an object in the middle of the room with her back hand - boxy, waist-high, red on the top, green on the left, yellow on the right, and blue on the front, each side was inlaid with nine pieces of folded branch flower cloisonnΓ© enamel glass sheets, which were dazzling and gorgeous under the light.

Eleven Niang sweated profusely.

This is a Rubik's cube played with in your hand, which is simply an abstract sculpture.

She faltered, and then stayed at the door.

And Xu Lingyi, who heard the movement, saw his wife coming back and beckoned to her: "What did you ask the Internal Affairs Office to do?" It is said that each small grid can be twisted at will," he said, and he pressed the corner of the Rubik's cube with his hand, "I searched for a long time and didn't find a mechanism." ”

The Rubik's Cube should be twisted in your hand, and if you put it on the ground like this, it will definitely not be able to twist it.

Eleven Niang was speechless for a while, and she didn't know how to answer well.

"Or maybe it's a new-style treasure chest......" Xu Lingyi muttered, but when she looked up, she saw Eleven Niang standing there motionless, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "What?" Something happened at Bowstring Alley? ”

Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that Xu Lingyi would continue to ask, so she nodded hurriedly. sent the servants in the house to tell Xu Lingyi about Master Luo's plans: "...... I didn't know what to say to my father. I had to ask his old man to ask you. ”

Xu Lingyi was really diverted when he heard this, he entered the inner room and sat on the big kang by the window: "I will talk to him when the revitalization comes." ”

Eleven Niang nodded, thinking that she had misunderstood Xu Lingyi yesterday, she personally made a cup of hot tea, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the Hou Ye who prepared those silver bills for the concubine, otherwise, it would be really ugly today." ”

In fact, the silver bills and silver tickets were not used at allβ€”she wanted to give some silver tickets to the fifth aunt in private, but the fifth aunt had been serving in front of the eldest lady, and she had no chance. As for the silver bill, Siniang and Wuniang have no other expressions, and she is not easy to wipe the face of the two of them.

Xu Lingyi let out an "oh", took the teacup with a faint expression and took a sip, looking unwilling to talk more.

Eleven Niang is not sure if he still has a problem with this matter, but everyone loves to listen to flattery, and for the sake of what he did wrong in the morning, it doesn't matter if he lowers his posture. asked Xu Lingyi with concern: "Is Master Hou reading all day today?" Why didn't you go to my mother's place to sit? ”

"Eat at my mother's place at noon." Xu Lingyi took another sip of tea, "Then I went to Aunt Qin's with Brother Yu." I happened to meet Aunt Wen and Aunt Qiao to Aunt Qin's door. Listen to Aunt Qiao talk about the song "Meditation". ”

Playing "Meditation" against Xu Lingyi?

Eleven Niang endured it so that she didn't laugh out loud.

However, it seems that he can find fun for himself, and then seeing Xu Lingyi's cold expression, it is no different from usual, and he feels that he is too worried, so he relaxes.

"Aunt Qiao's piano skills are superb, and she has heard of them for a long time." She smiled brightly, "Master Hou is so blessed." Busy people put on some small snacks such as nest silk candy, dongguin sticks, honey cherries, etc., and then got up and said: "The concubine is in the dust, change your clothes to talk to Hou Ye." ”

Xu Lingyi saw her smiling lightly, and her eyes sank slightly.

Eleven Niang had already smiled and called Luyun and Hongxiu, who stayed at home, to come in and serve her to change clothes and wash, and when she entered the clean room, she secretly instructed Shuangyu: "Tell Amber to put the thing sent by the Internal Affairs Office in the library." ”

Shuangyu left in response, and after a while, he turned back again: "Madam, five or six rough mothers can't move." Look, do you want to call the little guy in? ”

Eleven Niang only hopes that this thing will disappear soon: "Tell Manager Bai to let him put the things in my library." ”

"Hmm!" Shuangyu turned around and walked out, and Eleven Niang stopped her again, "Ask Manager Bai, how much did this thing cost?" ”

"Yes!" Shuangyu went to ask someone to move things, and when Eleven Niang cleaned up, he turned back: "Madam, the things have been put in the warehouse." Manager Bai said that the things were sent with the help of King Shun, and he only paid three hundred taels of silver. He also said that this thing is made of fine brass, and the enamel is also from the official kiln, and only one piece is afraid that it will cost twenty or thirty taels, and three hundred taels of silver is not expensive. ”

A piece of fifty or sixty taels of silver, the Rubik's Cube has six sides, and each side has nine squares...... Manager Bai was telling her that although the Internal Affairs Office received three hundred taels of silver from the Xu family, it was entirely because King Shun was in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, and the Xu family just meant it.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but stroke her forehead.

I thought it was a trivial matter, but who knew that it pulled out King Shun.

Maybe Manager Bai has already explained this matter to him, but as the initiator, he should still talk to Xu Lingyi. In any case, King Shun sold his favor in this matter, completely for Xu Lingyi's sake. I don't know if there are other interests involved. If something happens, it is Xu Lingyi who finally comes forward to solve the problem. At least let him know that he knows what he is good or bad about.

She came out of the clean room and sat down opposite Xu Lingyi with her head down: "Master Hou, I originally wanted to make a beautiful treasure chest, so I drew a picture." Who knew that no one outside would do it, so he begged the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Unexpectedly, it alarmed King Shun. I only received three hundred taels of silver...... she said, she looked up at him and said worriedly, "Master Hou, look at this matter, how should I deal with it?" ”

Seeing that Eleven Niang's willow eyebrows were frowning slightly, Xu Lingyi's heart moved slightly, and her brows were tightly locked into the word "Sichuan".

"If you want to add sin, there is no word. The emperor wants to dispose of me, and the imperial history wants to impeach me, and he always finds a reason, not missing this one or two. Leave this matter alone, I'll take care of it. Then he changed the subject and asked her about returning to her parents' house: "...... Is the mother-in-law's health okay? ”

Although he said that he was fine, his expression was so solemn.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart when she looked at it.

This incident still embarrassed him......

But seeing that Xu Lingyi looked unwilling to talk more, she had to temporarily keep this matter in her heart and tell Xu Lingyi about going back to Gongxian Hutong: "Mother's illness is a little recurrent, so she can only raise it slowly." In the past, the sister-in-law was serving in front of the bed, but now the fourth sister-in-law, the third aunt, and the fifth aunt are here, and the sister-in-law can also rest without having to work as hard as before. "Speaking of Zhou again," ...... He seems to be a very capable and virtuous person. "Speaking of the Twelve Niang," ...... I have grown a lot taller, and my facial features look like the fifth sister, not like me. ”

Just washed, Eleven Niang casually wore a moon white silk satin jacket and tied a big red flower skirt. His black and shiny hair was curled, his face was plain, and his cheeks were slightly red. The dim light fell on her, outlining a pale golden outline, and her features were more feminine than usual.

The corners of Xu Lingyi's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly: "After a while, my legs will be better, and I will go to see her old man." The tone was calm, even a little peaceful.

But Shi Niang knew that he had never been very interested in the eldest wife, and she also saw that the eldest lady was also very dissatisfied with him, and now it was also involved in his resignation...... She simply said: "Master Hou's legs and feet are not good, this is known to everyone." Whether it is father or mother, I don't blame Hou Ye when I think about it. Hou Ye is still recuperating with peace of mind. ”

Whether there is a problem with the legs and feet, no one knows better than Eleven Niang.

Xu Lingyi listened, smiled faintly, and asked very abruptly, "Didn't you talk to your aunt?" ”

Eleven Niang remembered what the fifth aunt told herself like a child who didn't know anything about the world when she left, and couldn't help but smile and said, "I said." also let me serve my mother well and serve the Hou Ye well. ”

Xu Lingyi's eyes suddenly deepened when he heard this, and his expression suddenly became a little cold, and he suddenly got up and put on his shoes, calling for the end of spring and Xia Yi to come in to serve and change clothes and wash: "...... It's snowing outside, so I'll rest here! With that, he turned around and went into the clean room.

During this time, the two kept a certain distance, and Eleven Niang gradually got used to him staying overnight.

Hearing him say this, he called Lu Yunlai: "Go and tell Aunt Qiao, Master Hou has something to do today, so I'll go." ”

Green Cloud smiled and walked away.

Eleven Niang went to make the bed.

After a while, Xu Lingyi came out of the clean room, went straight to bed, took out a copy of "Zuo Chuan" from the bedside, and tilted his body to read the book on the small pestle with the sheep's horn palace lamp.

Shi Niang looked at it and suggested: "Master Hou, why don't we sleep on the other side." ”

Since getting married, Xu Lingyi has always slept inside and she slept outside. If Xu Lingyi wanted to read a book, the light would shine on her face, and she had to face Xu Lingyi sideways, and once, somehow, when she woke up, she found that she had arched her face into Xu Lingyi's arms, and her appearance was very ambiguous.

Xu Lingyi glanced at her when she heard this: "It's too troublesome." More on that tomorrow. Then he looked down at the book again.

Eleven sissy knots.

I would like to ask if all feudal gentry couples are like them, the men sleep inside, and the women sleep outside...... But no one can ask.

A man stood in front of the bed for a moment, thinking that it was freezing and that he should take care of himself, so he took off his clothes and went to bed.

Who knew that before he lifted the quilt, he was tightly hugged by a pair of arms, and his body fell into a warm place.

"It's slow to sleep no matter how you go." The tone was a little complaining.

Who else is there besides Xu Lingyi?

Since that day, the two of them have slept in the same quilt, and the other quilt has been left unused.

In the winter, there was a person who kept warm, and Eleven Niang did not reject it, so she found a comfortable position and lay in his arms.

Xu Lingyi helped her tuck the quilt tightly, and instructed her: "You go to the warehouse early tomorrow morning to have a look, pick a few things that you can get your hands on, and I will go to King Shun's place tomorrow afternoon." ”

Eleven Niang was stunned.

Why did you suddenly propose to go to the Shun Palace?

And it was when he was "seriously ill...... This made her think of that cheap Rubik's Cube!

"Master Hou......" She didn't know what to say.

There was unconcealed worry in his voice.

"Don't be cranky," Xu Lingyi interrupted her and leaned over to blow the lamp, "Sleep!" ”

But the hand naturally reached through the hem of her clothes......

That's the pain of not having a manuscript...... Sisters, if there is a typo, I will talk about it tomorrow. Let's take a look!
