Chapter 168: The Ruler's Mansion

Personally sent Yinzhen Hongli and his son out of the courtyard gate, Huizhu hurried back to the house, did not wait to take a breath, and hurriedly asked Su Xin to help dry her hair, comb her hair bun, change her clothes, and stop everything until everything was cleaned up, and it was not too early. Huizhu looked at the window, and saw that it was already bright outside, so she paused slightly, and when she turned around, she smiled again.

Su Xin looked at Huizhu's line of sight, understood in her heart, and couldn't help but mutter: "It's already late, and I can't catch up, so the master should be more careful on the road and walk slower." As he spoke, he dusted off his cloak for Huizhu and told Xiao Ranzi a few words before letting Huizhu leave.

Last night, the wind did not stop, and this would go out of the yard, only to know that the snow had also fallen overnight, and it was a thick layer at first, and it made a "squeak" sound from time to time when walking on the snow.

Along the way, Huizhu stepped on the snow, and when she arrived at the main courtyard, the hem of the flag uniform was splashed a lot.

The Ulanala clan accepted the salute with a smile, lowered his head and swept the hem of Huizhu's clothes, and said to himself: "Last night, the snow was a foot thick, Sister Niu Hulu, you came to say goodbye, and the hem was wet, but my sin." After a pause, he raised his voice and ordered: "Find a foot stove with a lot of silver and carbon for Sister Niu Hulu to replace, this splashes snow and is easy to freeze." Huizhu sat on the chair and saluted: "Lao Fujin is thinking about the concubine, and the deerskin boots worn by the concubine are not easy to soak in the snow. But today's concubine is greedy because of the cold weather, and this night, I hope that Fujin and the sisters will not bury me. Geng's busy words contained everyone's meaning, and he waved his hand and shook his head, so that Huizhu was relieved.

Li still remembers yesterday's events, he has long been sour, this time to see Huizhu came late, not to say, between the eyebrows are full of spring smiles, as soon as you see it, you know what is going on, the vinegar jar in my heart is overturned, sour can't do it, but in the face of everyone, it's hard to say anything, and I secretly have a sulking stomach.

Over the past year, except for the Nian family and the An family, Yin Zhen rarely stepped into the back house, let alone went to the courtyards of other wives and concubines. At this time, everyone saw that Huizhu was becoming more and more beautiful, with children and daughters, according to today's situation, Yinzhen seemed to be about to regain his favor, and his heart was like Li's, he was pouring sour vinegar fiercely, and he was still a little hostile to Nian's. thinks that Huizhu is just like them, she is just beautiful and beautiful, and she is even more talentless, and she doesn't even have a good family background, but she is forced to be higher than them and become noble, why is this?

For a while, the atmosphere in the room was sluggish, and everyone was angry, or they took tea lightly, or talked in pairs, or bowed their heads around the handkerchief, all of them were silent, and Geng's words were not accepted.

Seeing this, Nian's lips hooked slightly, full of mockery, and he was about to say something, but he was robbed by Wu Yashi and said: "Ouch, what Sister Geng said is that Niu Hulu Fujin has a good temperament, who doesn't praise it, even Long Live Lord and De Niangniang also call you hello, come here tonight, I want to come for a reason, how can the concubine bury you." Wu Yashi moved out of Emperor Kangxi and Concubine De, and everyone had to suppress their unhappiness and echo in unison.

Huizhu seemed to notice that everyone's hearts were different, and she was curious about this sudden hostility, and Yinzhen also went to her for the night, but people remembered it, such as Nian's and An's, and they didn't know how to hate it.

However, although Huizhu secretly made such a noise, she still responded modestly in her mouth, as in the past.

Nian listened to Huizhu's words, and the ridicule was even worse, a faction of hypocrisy, and the layman was introduced, and contempt flashed in his eyes. Geng's has been attached to Nian's for many years, and he is a person with ups and downs, peeking at the expression on Nian's face, he probably guessed Nian's thoughts, so he secretly wondered in his heart, his apricot eyes lit up, and he looked at Huizhu and smiled: "It should really be for a reason, Niu Hulu Fujin wants to serve the master and the little brother Hongli to enter the palace, and take care of Baolian Gege, delayed the time, only came later, what is there to bury you, this is a blessing that others can't ask for, and the concubine can be envied." Wu's words undoubtedly put the envy of everyone on the table, provoking people's minds to change.

Huizhu didn't make a sound, picked up the bowl on the side, lightly looked for the tea foam, and then threw it heavily on the high table, with a crisp sound of "sonorous", everyone who listened was stunned, and then looked at Huizhu in unison, and it was expected that there would be a quarrel.

I don't want Huizhu to be thunder and rain, so I looked away from the bowl, swept the people in the room one by one, and finally looked at Wu, pretending to respond: "Wu Gege is straightforward and fast-talking, I know what you mean, people should cherish their blessings, cherish what they have in front of them, and don't be that ambitious." Now, I am blessed to have the Hongli Baolian brothers and sisters by my side, and to have Fujin and other sisters to get along with me. ”

Wu was dumbfounded, although Huizhu said mildly agreed, but with irony, in turn she disciplined her, these few confrontations, every time she was at a disadvantage, she underestimated her......

Huizhu called softly, "Wu Gege? Wu was thinking about it, being called by Huizhu, knowing that he was distracted, he hurriedly looked up, only to see Huizhu's smile flickering, as if he knew what she was thinking, he was suddenly startled, and hurriedly replied: "What Niu Hulu Fujin said is that the concubine has been taught." Huizhu smiled and stared directly, but let out a long sigh in her heart.

The Wulanala clan looked at it from the top position, and he was getting harder and harder about Huizhu, not worried but happy, and he was thinking about it in his heart, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the indifferent Nian clan in the corner of his eye, and he unconsciously deepened his smile and said: "Sister Niu Hulu, I still have something to discuss with you today." Huizhu didn't finish his breath, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but pouted secretly, looked at the Wulanala clan suspiciously, and said with a smile: "I don't know what Fujin wants the concubine to do, just let the management order." ”

When the Ulanala clan spoke, the whole room was surprised, wondering what did Huizhu need to help do?

The Wulanala clan said cordially: "Sister Niu Hulu, you have been in the mansion for many years, and you are the most careful in dealing with people, just a little sister Geng, they said it in person, so I just borrowed this stall and asked my sister to come over to help me manage the affairs of the house, but my sister is willing?" ”

Huizhu was shocked, no matter how she thought about it, what the Wulanala clan wanted to say was this, the management of the mansion is powerful, but not to mention whether the people in the mansion are convinced or not, that is, the Li family and the Nian clan will take the lead in refusing to follow.

Huizhu was right, everyone was stunned at first when they heard this, they still couldn't believe it, and then they reacted and directly disagreed. I saw Li's chair handle slapped, and immediately stopped it loudly: "Fujin, the concubine thinks this matter is improper, although Niu Hulu's sister is a side Fujin, she has not been promoted for a long time, and her qualifications are still shallow, so she must not be able to cover everything." Li said this, just to show that he was the most suitable candidate. Nian disdained the meaning of Li's words, but also twisted his eyebrows and objected: "Fujin, the concubine also thinks that Sister Li's words are polite, Sister Niu Hulu wants to take care of Brother Hongli and Baolian Gege, I don't think I have the energy to take care of the mansion, and I ask Fujin to think twice." “

The Ulanala clan seemed to have expected everyone's disapproval, and said calmly: "Sister Li and Sister Nian don't worry, I have considered all of these, and I still think that Sister Niu Hulu is the best candidate." In the past few years, I have been a little struggling to manage the huge mansion, and I have long wanted to find someone to help share the burden. At the beginning, Sister Li was selected, but Hongshi had just accepted the side room, and he was about to choose the main room, which was a top priority, and Sister Li had to be busy, so she had to give up. Although my sister's heart is as fine as dust, my body has always been weak, how can I be tired of my sister again. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Huizhu and said with a smile: "Sister Niu Hulu is steady, although she doesn't talk much, but this point is praised by Lord Long Live Lord, and Sister Niu Hulu was close to the sick and the Lord back then, and I want to come to the Lord is also likely." As for the Hongli brothers and sisters, don't worry about it, Hongli is already a big child, and he has been in the study for more than a year, and he no longer needs to be taken care of by Niu Hulu's sister; And Baolian is a personality, she is raised in the deep boudoir, with her mother-in-law watching and raising her grandmother, and she doesn't need Niu Hulu's sister to take care of her personally. Do you think I'm talking about it? ”

The words were reasonable, and everyone had no way to refute them, so they responded a little stiffly.

Although the words came to this, Huizhu was still unwilling, and when the Wulanala clan finished speaking, he hurriedly interjected: "Fujin, the concubine is stupid and extremely lazy, although Fujin looks at it, but if it is not taken care of well, it will not live up to Fujin's hopes." The Wulanala clan glanced at it, and the Song clan hurriedly helped persuade him: "Niu Hulu Fujin, don't be too modest, but even the Long Live Lord has praised you, so according to the concubine, this matter is the most suitable for you." ”

Seeing that Huizhu still wanted to shirk the past, the Wulanala clan said angrily: "Sister Niu Hulu is helping to take charge of the house, which is approved by all the sisters, if the sister still delays, it is unwilling to help me and disappoint the hearts of the sisters." If so, Li and Nian had no choice but to help say a few words lightly, and when Huizhu saw this, he knew that it was difficult to shirk, so he had to accept it.

Subsequently, most of the people in the house had no intention of having a good morning, only Wu Yashi kept talking, which was obvious to Huizhu's flattery, which attracted a lot of white eyes, but they still didn't know it, until two o'clock, Fang stopped talking, and everyone went back to the courtyard.

On the way back, Huizhu and Geng walked together, and after saying something about Hongli and Hongday's homework on the way, Geng saw that there were no outsiders on the left and right, so he leaned over and said: "It's a good thing to be able to take charge of the affairs of the house." But according to the concubine, this matter came at the wrong time, and Nian Fujin is the time when the limelight is rising day by day, and you ...... There are fewer times when the lord has been in the back house for more than a year, and you have only come back these days, and there must be no shortage of red-eyed people, and when the fourteenth master accepted the general, Brother Hongli was sent back to the house again...... The concubine thinks that this matter is not good, you still need to be careful, the New Year is coming soon, and there are many things in the house, ......" As he spoke, Geng Shi frowned and shook his head, looking extremely difficult to say.

Huizhu didn't know this reason, but it was not good to say much, so she patted Geng's hand, answered simply, and then left Geng and went back to the courtyard.
