"Danger on the head—"

When the heavy life-threatening red tile fell, it was Duan Xiaolou on the tree outside the courtyard who shouted "Sister He"; One of the people who shouted "Xiaoyi" was Qing'er who waited for the fruit under the tree, and the other was Meng Xuan, the knife-headed doll in He Angelica's arms, who called her nickname sharply to remind her to avoid the red tiles falling on her head. And at this moment, Meng Xuan himself, who was standing behind Qing'er with his hands, was looking at it from afar, quietly watching silently.

He Angelica realized that the danger was approaching, but he didn't know for sure that a piece of terracotta on her head was loose, and if it hit the top of her head, it would break her head and bleed, so it was impossible for her to dodge the blow in time and accurately. Now, she just froze in place, resisting the urge to pull out the dagger in her arms and look at it. Death, separated by a line from her.

Duan Xiaolou on the tree turned into an arrow and rushed over to rescue, but no matter how fast he was, he couldn't quench his thirst from afar, but fortunately, the third sister-in-law in the kitchen who was waiting beside He Angelica also saw the falling tile at a glance, screamed, and reflexively pulled He Angelica to avoid it.

"Pong!" There was a muffled sound on the ground, and the terracotta fell from a height of more than ten zhang, but it did not fall apart. He Angelica escaped with the help of his third sister-in-law, and he was also a little afraid, looking at the tile on the ground, it was a big tile of five catties, and it fell on his head, and the consequences were really unimaginable.

Duan Xiaolou's people came first, fell to her side, and shook her hand without hesitation and asked, "How are you?" Where did it hurt? ”

He Angelica wanted to withdraw her hand, but she couldn't pull it out, she lowered her head and said that she was fine, and thanked "General Duan". Thinking in his heart, Duan Xiaolou's familiar feeling came back, he seemed to remember her, what was going on? Did Meng Xi's medicine work, or did Lu Jiangbei not give Duan Xiaolou medicine?

Qing'er turned around and punched Meng Xuan hard, shouting, "Is there a mistake, you didn't save her!" But Meng Xuan's aura popped out automatically, bouncing Qing'er away like a ball, and Qing'er staggered to the ground. Meng Xuan stepped forward to help Qing'er up, but she didn't appreciate it, glared at him fiercely, and ran to see He Angelica. "Xiaoyi!" Qing'er ran into the yard, repeatedly confirmed that He Angelica had not suffered any external injuries, breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled her into the house.

Duan Xiaolou didn't follow up, and left after a few words of instruction at the door, and stopped drinking the agreed wine. Meng Xuan slowly paced into the courtyard, took the tile on the ground aside, and entered the house and asked, "Has Shui Qianju also resurfaced the roof tiles?" Did the craftsmen come in? How many people are there in the CCP in Shui Qianju? Usually when you are not in the house, will you leave someone to watch the yard? ”

He asked twice, Qing'er only used him as air, at Xiaoyi's life and death juncture, there was no Meng Xuan among the people who saved her, Meng Xuan was kicked in the head by a donkey? Persuade Xiaoyi to remarry tonight!

When asked the third time, He Angelica replied: "I haven't re-paved the roof tiles, here are still old-fashioned tiles, the craftsmen have brought enough glazed tiles to replace the roof tiles of twenty courtyards, but I only let them repave nine courtyards in the outer courtyard and five courtyards in the inner courtyard." The threshold here was loosened, and the people who had asked them to repair it once, and they were sent away after half an hour, and they were not allowed to enter the house. I left three of the girls who were waiting in the house here, in addition to Suzi, the other two were the girls in the garden, the two of them, and more than a dozen of them were busy in the courtyard, I only left them in the morning, as long as they ignored it, they often dispersed at noon, trying to be clean. Specially look at the people in the courtyard, this has not been arranged, but the people are empty, the building is to be locked, after all, in addition to my dowry, there are also the account books and keys that you gave me, you have to be careful. ”

Meng Xuan listened silently, nodded and said, "Very good, I will ask Yi Yi to investigate this matter secretly to see if the roof tile happened to fall off by accident, or something else." ”

After saying that, he left, and Qing'er took advantage of the fact that he didn't go far and shouted loudly: "What a fart!" Xiaoyi, he doesn't care about your life or death at all, he doesn't even ask if you are injured or not, you are now the county lord, kick him! ”

Meng Xuan probably heard it too, but the back did not stop at all, it became smaller and smaller, and then disappeared outside the courtyard wall. Qing'er was furious, turned her head and asked He Angelica: "What does he mean?" He just got married and became like this, and he may not be annoying in the future, how can you put up with him? He doesn't care if you're hurt or not, just ask some useless words, once you lost a hair, he chased after you and picked it up and put it in your purse. Even if you are unfortunately stoned to death, he just solves the case and investigates the murderer, without asking you how it is? ”

He Angelica used the lid of the teacup to open the floating tea leaves, took a sip, and comforted Qing'er: "Didn't I tell you that he broke his brain and lost his memory." I'm a little better to him than a stranger, and I can ask him more. And Fang was injured or not, Duan Xiaolou asked again, and I said that I was fine; You asked, and I said I was fine; If he had asked a third time, I would have been too lazy to answer. ”

Qing'er aimed the muzzle of the gun at Zhu Yuanzhang again: "At a young age, all your teeth have fallen out, and you are still worried about other people's fruits, if you don't pick fruits for him, you won't stand under the eaves to watch the fruits." By the way, what practical benefit does he give you the title of county lord? How much do I get each month? ”

He Angelica recalled: "The county lord led the year, and the county lord from the third grade had 180 taels of silver, 120 Hulu rice, and 12 horses forging; Like me, there are 150 taels of silver, 90 Hulu rice, and 9 forgings. However, I have to be in the capital to lead, if I have been living in Qingyuan, then I need to find a reliable person to take my gold treasure every year to receive the Lu, and help take care of the county lord's mansion by the way. She smiled slightly, "I don't know which street or alley, how big the place is, and I'm looking forward to it." ”

"But why are you the fourth grade and not the third grade?" Qing'er asked sensitively.

"The concubine is the third grade, and the concubine is the fourth grade," He Angelica explained, "Among the dozens of children of the old emperor, only the late prince, the king of Qin, the king of Jin, the king of Yan, the second princess Ning Guo and the fourth princess Anqing, only they are known as the princess, and their son-in-law is the king of the county, and the daughter is the lord of the county, all according to the original grade." Some of their concubines and concubines were enshrined according to the next grade, and some were not enshrined at all. Generally speaking, those golden branches and jade leaves from the palace have to make some outstanding contributions in order to get the title they deserve. Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang's children and grandchildren will spread out endlessly, and they will emptiness the treasury just by using the treasury to support them. ”

"King Yan, they are 'known as the heirs'? Could it be that there are still fakes in it? Qing'er was curious.

He Angelica took another sip of tea and said with a smile: "If you want me to say, they are all fakes, when Queen Ma was the queen, they were all past the age of women giving birth, and in their early years, they were also running around in the army, and they were tired and tired. If she can give birth to four sons and two daughters in one go, it will really convince me. So I guess that at least four of the sons and daughters under her name are concubines and raised by her side. ”

Qing'er thought silently for a while, and suddenly sighed: "If you want me to say, instead of giving you a concubine of one hundred and fifty taels of silver a year, it is more affordable for the emperor to promote you to be Meng Xuan's wife." One hundred and fifty taels, our store can earn it in half a month, and I still have nearly four hundred taels of copyright fees a year, although you are now the county lord, you are still Meng Xuan's concubine, and you have no status when you return to the Meng family in the capital, do you have to kneel and serve his wife and side wife in the future? ”

He Angelica said indifferently: "If I am not married, the emperor can marry me to Meng Xuan as the main family, but I am already a wife, and then 'recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors', so the emperor can improve my status, but it is not suitable to issue a decree to improve my status in my husband's family." Now I have to look at the reaction of the Meng family, to see if they are grateful to the emperor for his grace and let me be promoted to the main room position or what, but no matter what the result is, I have no intention of leaving the Meng family, I am waiting for Meng Xuan to 'recover his memory'. ”

Chatting and chatting, the time to be more revealing came again, because Meng Xuan said that he would come to Shui Qianju to rest, He Angelica wanted to arrange for Qing'er to live in the guest room, but Qing'er didn't want He Angelica to forgive Meng Xuan so easily and sleep with him, so he resolutely refused to change places to sleep. He Angelica had no choice but to ask the girl to clean up the unused blue yarn cabinet on the second floor and let Meng Xuan sleep there. The big bed with triple draping yarn is actually a formal couch, but He Angelica thinks it's too big, and he sleeps stupidly alone, so he hasn't used it.

On the third watch, He Angelica and Qing'er were tired of talking, and the people were wooden, but the seventh master Meng Xuan had not come back yet. Qing'er was sure that he wouldn't live here, so he took He Angelica upstairs to rest, but as soon as he went upstairs, he smelled a faint smell of wine in the room, and there was a slow snoring sound from the blue gauze cabinet in the innermost room.

Qing'er complained once that Meng Xuan didn't take the right path, but jumped over the wall and went into the house to sleep, causing them to wait for him, and then He Angelica and Qing'er also rested on the chaise longue in the outermost partition. Qing'er couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning, feeling a little weird, she slept in a newlywed couple's new room, and slept in the same bed with the bride, preventing her from making out with her husband...... Sounds like the work of those old perverted widows...... Could it be that she is old and hates to marry.

And He Angelica has been busy all day during the day, and now he feels sleepy, and he sleeps on the pillow, and he is dreaming of a few things that he has not done during the day.

The first is the repair of the garden, which cannot be relaxed in many places, and it is necessary to keep an eye on those craftsmen from the prefect's yamen. There are no craftsmen in the Qing Garden, and sometimes if it is broken, it is not timely to postpone the repair, and the preparation is to save more and call someone to repair it. Now there is no reason why there are ready-made craftsmen here, so it is necessary to count the damage in the garden, let people buy all the materials, and repair the places that should be repaired at one time.

Daily affairs must also be put on the track, they have been left to their own devices for three years, and if they are not managed well, many bad habits will become old routines that are followed. In a few places that you can see, you can save more than 200 taels of silver every year by playing with an abacus and correcting it a little. Dig deeper, I'm afraid that there will be, maybe you can save 500 taels a year just by spending alone. And the income of the acres of land does not have to be managed by others, and farmers can be hired to cultivate it, so that in the future, there is no need to buy grain from outside, and there are a few more inputs......

She seems to have gradually entered the role of the hostess of Qingyuan, and all she thinks about is how to take care of her home, and these are the only things that appear in her dreams.

In the second half of the night, Qing'er woke her up and shouted: "Meng Xuan woke up from wine, and called you to pour tea for him!" Qing'er hasn't slept much, so Meng Xuan only screamed and woke her up, and she urged He Dang to return. Pouring tea for a drunk, sexy, powerful man must be his daughter-in-law.

He Angelica got up dimly, turned on the flame of the oil lamp, put a piece of silver charcoal in the small red clay stove, warmed a light of pine needle tea and a cup of green salt mouthwash, and found a mouthwash to put on the tray together, picked up the three things, yawned and sent them to the blue gauze cupboard in the middle. Resting on the small table, she opened the bed tent, hung it loosely, and when she looked into the bed, her sleepy insects were frightened and dropped several of them, Meng Xuan? He!

On the chaise longue outside, Qing'er turned over, waiting for He Angelica to return to the bed, but she didn't come back after waiting. It's strange, it's just a saliva, why is it so long? That's enough for a hen to lay an egg.

Qing'er turned over anxiously, and was just about to call He Angelica and ask her to also serve herself a cup of tea, but at this moment, there was a heart-pounding "Uh-huh-ahh......h What Angelica is moaning!
