Xiao Hong smiled disapprerovingly: "Mother is angry, newlywed Yan'er, it's normal to oversleep." ”

Although the words were not said explicitly, the battle situation that Qinglanxuan had lasted for most of the night spread in the mansion early in the morning, and no one could hear the meaning of Xiao Hong's words.

Xiao Hong's eldest brother Xiao Zhan's gaze swept over Gao Zhilan's face, raised his eyebrows and hooked the corners of his lips, and the other concubines also showed meaningful smiles. The ladies all looked disdainful and turned their heads to the side, not looking at the two men in the hall. Only Qiu Shi stared straight at the two of them, and when he saw the bruises on Gao Zhilan's face that couldn't even be completely covered by fat powder, the white fingertips pinched on the handkerchief were slightly loosened.

Xiao Wenxian frowned slightly, and coughed lightly: "Where is so much nonsense, let's start quickly." ”

Although Gao Zhilan was annoyed in her heart, she still maintained a dignified and gentle appearance, toasted tea to her in-laws, and greeted each other with the brothers. She and Qiu are both wives, so naturally there is no need to salute her, the two just nodded, and they have met. Qiu's eight-year-old son and five-year-old daughter want to kowtow to Gao Zhilan, because they are equal wives and want to distinguish themselves from their mothers, so the two children call Gao Zhilan their mothers.

Everything was done, the two of them got up late and missed breakfast a long time ago, but it was not time for lunch, not to mention that Xiao Wenxian didn't have the heart to let the whole family have lunch together, so he simply waved his hand and dispersed.

Xiao Hong yawned and walked out, Gao Zhilan followed behind him, Qiu Shi walked two steps quickly to catch up, he didn't speak, but stabbed his daughter Xiao Fanchun, although the child was young, he didn't understand anything, and called Daddy.

The crisp voice made Xiao Hong stop, looked down at his little daughter and asked, "What's the matter with Chun'er?" ”

"Daddy hasn't come to play with Chun'er and brother for a long time." Chun'er pouted and coquettishly, but glanced at Gao Zhilan out of the corner of her eyes, with resentment in her eyes that did not match that of a little girl of this age.

Gao Zhilan raised her eyes to the sky and pretended not to see anything, she was not a person who liked children, let alone Qiu's children.

Xiao Hong glanced at Qiu, snorted coldly, rubbed Chun'er's head and said, "Daddy has been busy these days, and I'll accompany Chun'er when I'm free." ”

"Daddy has a new woman, so he doesn't like Chun'er." Chun'er flattened her mouth aggrievedly.

Xiao Hong withdrew the big hand on Chun'er's head, and stared at the Qiu family a few times, although the Qiu family is not as prominent as the Gao family, but it is also an official eunuch, Qiu's father is now a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and Xiao Hong is relying on his father-in-law in the Ministry of Rites to make an errand, although it is only a master from the sixth grade, but it is a rare fat difference. If it weren't for this, the Qiu family would have turned his face a while ago.

Obviously, Chun'er was instructed by the Qiu family, but he was inconvenient to have a seizure, so he turned his head and said to Gao Zhilan: "Lan'er, you go back and rest first." ”

Gao Zhilan didn't say much, she was slightly blessed, and took her subordinates back to Qinglanxuan. She was so happy that Xiao Hong didn't go back with her, so she took advantage of this time to rest and think about what she should do next.

Back at Qinglanxuan, Xiao Hong's two concubines were already waiting at the door. According to the customary rites, the concubine room is to give tea to the wife and mother who have just passed the door.

Gao Zhilan didn't have the heart to be wordy with these two delicate women, sat in the main room and took their tea, rewarded each of them with a piece of jewelry, and sent the two back.

Although I didn't eat the grain of rice in the middle of the morning, I didn't have much appetite, so I simply ate a small half bowl of porridge, and then fell on the kang, and the pain on my body was still there, especially in my chest, and I felt a tingling pain when I grinded it to the clothes. Thinking that Xiao Hong was tripped by Qiu's family, he couldn't come for a while, so he simply untied his belly pocket and put on a soft nightgown to cover his head and sleep.

I don't know how long it took, Gao Zhilan felt that her body was getting heavier and heavier, her chest began to hurt again, she opened her eyes in a daze, it was dark, and a figure in front of her was arching her head in her neck socket, and her big hand was pinching on the softness.

She exclaimed in surprise and went to push the man, but heard a chuckle: "Little wrongdoer, you don't even recognize your husband?" ”

Gao Zhilan only felt that the leader was Sensen, and she didn't know how Xiao Hong got rid of the Qiu family and went to her room again.

Xiao Hong was not in a hurry this time, he called someone in to take the lamp and ordered to prepare food. Gao Zhilan wanted to change her clothes, but she was reached out and hugged her lap, rubbed her ear and said, "Don't change it, you have to take it off for a while anyway." ”

Gao Zhilan knew that the more he resisted, the more energetic he would become, so she simply didn't say a word and accompanied him to dinner.

As soon as the remnants of the table were removed, Xiao Hong couldn't wait to summon Tao'er in, and since he tasted the taste of the master and servant, he fell into it out of control. In the past, I was also waited by several women in the Qinglou at the same time, but that feeling couldn't compare with now. Conquering the noble lady and her personal maid was more fulfilling for him.

Gao Zhilan went from resistance to numbness, and then to obedience, almost every day she had to endure Xiao Hong's almost unusual bad taste, and the more she was tortured, the more she hated Murong Chu and his wife, and she only hoped that one day she would double all the sins she had suffered on them.

Mo Li has no consciousness of being hated at all, since the emperor was seriously ill and the crown prince was in charge of the country, Murong Chu has become even busier. Her life was not as quiet as before, and the property under the names of the two was now in her hands, and at first the shopkeepers and stewards did not take her as the new master seriously, thinking that she was just looking at the account books and collecting the cashiers.

When new initiatives came out of Moyuan Pavilion and achieved good results, they no longer dared to underestimate this little woman who was always smiling.

When Yu Mingxi and Xu Minglang returned from the small border town of Suikou, Mo Li had already figured out the characteristics and expertise of his subordinates, and rearranged the transfer in line with the principle of making the best use of people. and dispatched manpower to prepare to be taken to Suikou by Xu Minglang. That small town is about to become prosperous and lively because of the signing of the trade agreement between Da Zhou and Hokago, and she plans to open a branch of Quanwei Building there.

Unlike Quanwei Lou in Beijing, Mo Li's plan is to build a hotel with catering, accommodation and a series of supporting facilities in a modern model by leveraging the fame of Quanwei Lou.

Of course, these things can't be completed in a short period of time, after she makes the plan, she will hand it over to Xu Minglang and let him take full responsibility. Now she had more important things to do, and she had hired craftsmen to rebuild several Zhuangzi outside the city half a month ago.

In March, after a few spring rains, the climate is more pleasant and the sunshine is brighter. Although the atmosphere in the capital became tense because the emperor was seriously ill, it could not stop people from traveling.

On this morning, Mo Li took Ruoping and Danyu out of the city and went to Zhuangzi.
