When Concubine Qi heard what she said, she thought that the fourth girl probably didn't have anything else in her mind except money, so she moved out of Qi You and moved out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate at every turn.

is also ashamed to boast of being a "mother's family".

A trace of contempt and ridicule flashed in Concubine Qi's eyes, and her face was seductive: "Third sister-in-law, do you know what kind of place the Metropolitan Procuratorate is?" What do you do? The third cousin is busy enough with daily official duties, and the female dependents can just talk to the palace about these little things, and don't bother the cousin anymore. ”

She thought that since they were all acting in family dramas, she would cooperate with the acting, and by the way, she asked the four girls to come out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to talk about things if they had nothing to do, and they were timid!

The fourth girl didn't hear anything else, and she was overjoyed when she heard Qi Shufei's sentence of "third sister-in-law" really well, and immediately didn't treat herself as an outsider, and spoke a little less cautiously: "Niangniang, just call you sister-in-law, and the concubine will position you to serve as a dog and horse." ”

Whether it is to show loyalty or to see that her husband has a promising future, Concubine Qi Shu secretly sneered, and continued to act on her face: "The third sister-in-law's words are serious, this palace is very relieved to hear your mother's family, you know that this palace has been raised in the outer room since childhood, and it is unknown whether the Qi family treats this palace as a family member or not." ”

Speaking of this, he paused: "But if you keep the clouds open and see the moon, this palace is now blessed by the emperor, how can you forget your roots." ”

The implication is that between the Qi family and Concubine Qi Shu, there is both prosperity and loss.

The four girls nodded again and again: "That's what Niangniang said." ”

Concubine Qi disliked each other in her heart, but the fourth girl and Wen Wanrong grew up in the same garden, so they must know a lot of unknown things, and they have some use value, and their attitude towards the four girls is naturally close.

"Third sister-in-law, let the third brother go in advance," she said as she said, a good plan to kill two birds with one stone suddenly appeared in her heart, and the words changed, "It's not that the palace doesn't want to help, but the palace can't help, and the reason is on the head of Princess Wanyi." ”

What a princess Wanyi, but just an adopted daughter.

The fourth girl flattened her mouth: "Niangniang, the concubine is your family, do you still talk to the two families?" What's so difficult, just get straight to the point. ”

Concubine Qi sighed: "The third sister-in-law doesn't know, the emperor's new favorite has recently been Youling, which is Princess Wanyi's idea." ”

The four girls were stunned, and their eyes widened in surprise: "The emperor's new favorite is a good girl?" ”

The sentence on his lips, "How could the emperor be lucky to be a lowly woman", hesitated for a moment, turned around in his mind, and swallowed again.

Concubine Qi glanced at it and chuckled, "What? The third sister-in-law doesn't believe it? ”

The fourth girl hurriedly shook her head: "How dare the concubine doubt the words of the mother, you go on, the concubine listens." ”

Concubine Qi Shu sighed again: "The third sister-in-law also understands the truth that flowers are not red for a hundred days, the emperor now has a new favorite, how can I remember the old man in this palace, don't say that I will be promoted to the third brother, and I can't even see the emperor's face in this palace now." ”

All this is to blame on Wen Wanrong.

The four girls understood and added a grudge to their hearts.

"How could she do this?!" The fourth girl stood up and complained for Concubine Qi, "I think she had a lot of relationship with Niangniang at the beginning, but now that she has status and power, don't you take Niangniang in her eyes?!" ”

Not only is it not a sight, but it also blocks Qi You's broad road to promotion and wealth!

"What a hoof!" The fourth girl scolded openly, "In the Wen Mansion before, I saw that she was honest on her face, but in fact, she had a lot of eyes, but I was afraid that Niangniang would not come to the mansion often, and she didn't know her face but didn't know her heart." ”

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

The four girls didn't say anything, and in their hearts they classified themselves as Concubine Qi Shu's camp.

Concubine Qi Shufei kept observing her reaction from just now, and seeing that the win was successful, she began to say her plan: "People's hearts are separated from the belly, and this palace only knows now, but it is not without remedies." ”

The fourth girl hurriedly asked, "How to remedy it?" ”

Concubine Qi raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "The third sister-in-law just said that General Qin was almost impeached, if you can get real evidence for this matter, tell the palace, the palace has a way." ”

"But," she paused, her voice sinking, "This matter can only be known to you and me, and you must not let the third brother know." ”

The fourth girl didn't know: "Niangniang, why don't you tell the third brother?" If the third brother asks the emperor to take this matter to the table, he can not only eradicate Wen Wanrong, but also show merit, why not? ”

Concubine Qi scolded her for being stupid in her heart, and patiently explained on her face: "The third sister-in-law never thought that this matter was related to the queen's rebellion case, how can you say it?" ”

The fourth girl said blankly: "Tell the truth." ”

"Truthfully?" Concubine Qi Shu sneered, "Will Renshou Palace sit idly by?" At that time, the queen mother interceded for Princess Wanyi, she was framed by the queen at the beginning, and this head said that the third brother's investigation of the case was not a good matter, in case of a backbite, don't forget, if the second brother and the eldest princess died together, do you think the Qi family would not be implicated? ! ”

The four girls were dumbfounded.

She muttered for a while and said, "Niangniang is far-sighted, and the concubine has never thought of this. ”

Concubine Qi Shu's tone was a little slower: "Those who don't know are not guilty, the third sister-in-law is not out of the door in the boudoir, and she can understand if she knows less." ”

The fourth girl is now afraid of offending Concubine Qi and delaying Qi You's career, so she echoed: "Concubine Xie Niangniang's guidance, ...... now"

"For now, you can do what I ask." Concubine Qi interrupted, staring at the cool tea soup with lowered eyes, as if she had made up her mind.

The four girls obeyed.

After eating tea, the two said a few more thoughtful words and left the palace.

On the way back, the fourth girl sat in the carriage and asked the maid beside her: "Ruxiang, do you remember when my father was alive, he once quarreled with his mother in the house for his aunt?" ”

Rue Xiang is Xixiang disappeared, and the four girls thought that the girls in Qi Mansion were not used to it, so they chose one of the maids to serve them closely.

This girl is mediocre in appearance, and she is not as thoughtful as Xi Xiang, but Rue Xiang has been with Mrs. Du since she entered the Wen Mansion in her early years, and she has a bit of master-servant friendship with the four girls.

She heard the fourth girl mention the past, nodded and said that she remembered, and then asked, "How does Madame remember the past?" Just after the middle of July, we burned the paper and went to the temple to light the lanterns, and the old lady Jiuquan will be at ease. ”

The fourth girl was thinking about it, the bull head was not in the horse's mouth, and waved her hand: "I didn't ask my father, but after my aunt died, they quarreled about it, you were serving in your mother's yard at the time, you should have heard it in more detail than me, how much do you remember, tell me." ”

Rue Xiang knew everything and said everything she heard, and told the four girls as it was.

The fourth girl nodded thoughtfully, and asked again: "When this happened, Aunt Concubine had already moved to the Qin family's old house?" ”

Rue said yes.

The fourth girl remembered Concubine Qi Shu's explanation, twisted her handkerchief, and thought about it.

There is no such thing as an impermeable wall.

Wen Wanrong has been out of the palace and into the palace these days, and there are always good things and flattering palace people who tell her about the total amount of things that happened in the harem.

On the surface, she didn't care, but in fact, she listened carefully, especially Concubine Qi Shufei and the fourth girl, who often walked around, and felt faintly uneasy.

When she returned home, she went to the old lady to take care of the children, and after arranging for Brother Ying'er to practice calligraphy, she sat in the back room with Sasa in her arms, and described the events in the palace in detail. ”

The old lady pondered for a long time and comforted: "The soldiers will stop the water and flood the earth, it's useless to be in a hurry at the moment, you have to come, but you enter the palace every day to set the province for the queen mother, it is rare to have a filial piety, and I also know that you are working hard for the Qin family." ”

Wen Wanrong touched her sassy soft hair and sighed: "Ah Rong is the young lady of the Qin family, the only thing she can do for Qin Yang is to take care of the backyard, and she has no other skills." ”

"That's enough." The old lady patted her hand, touched her head again, and said with a smile, "With your mother here, great-grandmother will be relieved." ”

Wen Wanrong knew that this was the old lady's words of comfort, so she smiled bitterly in her heart and promised the old lady to do her best.

She was talking in the house, she didn't pay attention to the time, and later she heard the little girl outside ask Ann to say that the second master was coming.

Wen Wanrong was stunned, and hurriedly got up and went out with Sasa in her arms, and laughed when she saw Qin Yang: "Why are you back?" ”

Qin Yang pointed to the omission: "You don't look at the time, aren't you hungry?" ”

The old lady then came out and left the two of them to have dinner before returning to her yard.

As soon as Qin Yang entered the house and shouted that he was tired, he took off his coat, asked someone to prepare bath water, and asked Wen Wanrong if she wanted to be together.

Wen Wanrong was in no mood to mess with him, so she sat under the porch in a frustrating mood and thought about how to guard against Concubine Qi and the fourth girl.

Halfway through thinking, the red calyx hurriedly came in from outside the hospital and said to her that the Qi family had just come, and took out an invitation with a red background and gilding.

Wen Wanrong was slightly stunned, took the post and opened it, glanced at it, and asked, "What about the Qi family?" ”

Red Calyx said to leave after sending the post.

She didn't ask any more, just now she was still thinking about how to deal with the four girls, what she was afraid of, and the four girls' posts were sent to the mansion.

Qin Yang heard the movement outside, took a shower, put on a thin shirt and came out and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wen Wanrong said that autumn was cool in the morning and evening, and she was afraid that he would just take a bath and fall into the wind, so she hurriedly pushed people in, and found a coat for him to put on.

Qin Yang was disgusted with the heat, threw his coat aside, pulled the post in her hand to look at it, and said impatiently: "What kind of moth is Wen Si out of?" ”

Wen Wanrong has her concerns: "It's not her alone, the official's wife gathered, and she just sent this post on her behalf." ”

Qin Yang asked, "Are you going?" ”

Wen Wanrong said to go.

"If you don't want to, forget it, it's not a big deal," Qin Yang said disdainfully while wiping his hair indiscriminately, "What can you girls say together." ”

Wen Wanrong took a cloth towel and carefully wiped the water for him, and said softly: "Don't look down on these officials and wives, don't look at how you are in the government and the opposition, the relationship between the ladies is clear at a glance." ”

Qin Yang listened to it and didn't say anything.

Wen Wanrong continued: "The fourth girl really wants to do something to me, and it is not a way to blindly hide, I know in my heart that some things may not be what she meant. ”

Qin Yang knew it well: "It's either her or Concubine Qi, who else can there be." ”

Wen Wanrong put down the cloth towel, and brought a coat to put on him: "Since you know, don't persuade me not to go, there are other ladies here, and she can't do anything to me, I guess she has something to say to me." ”

Qin Yang's gaze followed her figure: "Lao Tzu is worried that you will suffer, you have suffered her losses before, forgot?" ”

"At this time and that time," Wen Wanrong patted the fine velvet on his clothes, "After the death of Uncle Wen, the Wen Mansion is not as good as before, otherwise with the temperament of the four girls, how can she look down on Concubine Qi's background, let alone saddle up for Concubine Qi now." ”

Qin Yang was not interested in the intrigue between women, nor was he impatient, so he hugged her waist, sniffed the seductive fragrance in the neck socket, and said in a deep voice: "Whatever you want, in short, don't wronged yourself." ”

Wen Wanrong nodded and said she knew.

On the day of the official's wife's party, the four girls changed their previous temperament and were very enthusiastic about Wen Wanrong, and they specially went to Qinfu to pick her up and set off together.

Holly was also worried that the four girls would have a moth, so she followed Wen Wanrong with her.

The four girls sat in the carriage and pulled Wen Wanrong without saying a word, Holly silently swept her eyes and subconsciously moved to Wen Wanrong's side.

Holly can't say what's wrong with Rue, but subconsciously doesn't like this maid.

Especially Rue Xiang's eyes when she looks at people, she always squints, with a bit of disdain and contempt.

Wen Wanrong talked with the four girls, didn't pay attention to these details, and when she got out of the car, Holly pulled her to the end and whispered a few reminders.

Wen Wanrong patted her hand and said she knew.

Entering the opera garden again, a group of ladies sat down, and the four girls sat next to her.

Someone who was familiar with Wen Wanrong looked at the four girls and asked in a low voice, "Mrs. Qin, who is the one sitting next to you?" Good eyes. ”

Wen Wanrong didn't mean to hide it, and generously introduced: "This is the wife of Qi Yushi of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Palace, the four girls of the Wen family, you call Mrs. Wen that." ”

As soon as the other party heard that it was from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, his interest was halved, and he said "oh" without saltiness, sat back in his place, and when he was choosing the play, he leaned into Wen Wanrong's ear and whispered: "Mrs. Qin, the one in my family has repeatedly warned that the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate are less troublesome, and you don't get too close." ”

Wen Wanrong smiled but did not speak.

Although the voice was small, it was still heard clearly by the four girls sitting on the other side.

She glared at the man and snorted lightly, thinking about not getting too close, but Qi You's official position is too small, so he can't look down on her, the lady of the imperial history.

Wen Wanrong knew the temperament of the fourth girl, and she also knew that she heard it, so the topic stopped, she didn't want to or want to provoke unwarranted right and wrong, and smiled Yingying to divert the topic: "I don't have anything special to see, fourth sister, you choose." ”

As she spoke, she handed the trick to the four girls.

The fourth girl didn't come to see the play, so she flipped through a few pages randomly, threw them to the next candidate, approached Wen Wanrong, and brought up the old thing: "I didn't want to mention your sadness, but I have to find you for this matter." ”

Wen Wanrong wasn't too surprised, she just asked what was going on.

The fourth girl's voice was lowered: "You know, my father has feelings for Aunt Concubine, although my mother and I don't want to admit it, but the facts are the facts, after I married into the Qi family, no one took care of the Wen Mansion, and it was rare to get together with a few sisters some time ago to discuss the sale of the mansion and their own well, that is, I think of Aunt Concubine, she has a good relationship with you, and you have to call the shots in this matter." ”

Wen Wanrong thought of Aunt Yu, and her expression darkened: "The fourth sister said yes." ”

The fourth girl continued: "I still want to bury my aunt and father together, the Du family has fallen, my father is a heroic martyr who has made meritorious contributions, so naturally I can't be buried with the family of the guilty minister of the Zhujiu clan, and now it is a lonely grave." ”

Speaking of this, she took out her handkerchief, and wiped the corners of her eyes without knowing whether there were tears or not.

Wen Wanrong understood what she meant: "What does my sister mean to move the grave of the little lady?" ”

The fourth girl nodded: "Just wait for your opinion." ”

I wanted to compensate Qin Yang at the beginning, and deliberately chose a piece of feng shui treasure land for a grand funeral.

Wen Wanrong didn't want to disturb the rest of the deceased: "Do you have to move the grave?" ”

The fourth girl smiled: "I have this idea, but the final decision lies with you, after all, you are close to your aunt." ”

Wen Wanrong hesitated for a moment and said, "How about taking a few things from the little lady's life, and replacing people with things?" ”

Can the fourth girl say no?

In her heart, an aunt dies when she dies, and her posthumous affairs are a hundred times more decent than her mother, so how can people not be jealous.

Thinking about it, hating it, you have to smile on your face: "Okay, you can do what you say." ”

Therefore, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day.

After the group finished watching the play, the four girls pulled Wen Wanrong to go first, saying that they would simply take Aunt Concubine's relics, she would be easy to do.

Wen Wanrong thought that she would go to Renshou Palace in the afternoon, so she pushed it and asked Holly to take the two to the Qin family's old house on the outskirts of the city.

Holly responded, followed the four girls into the carriage of the Qi family, said an address, and the coachman went straight to the suburbs.

No one comes to the old house of the Qin family on weekdays, every mid-year festival, the old lady will come here to worship the ancestors in July, and the entire house covers an area that is twice as large as the Qin Mansion in Yandu, not so much a house, but a Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi is big, and there are naturally many people.

When the housekeeper saw Holly coming, he was a little surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Holly girl, why are you here today?" ”

Holly said to come and get something, so you don't need to alarm the others.

The housekeeper didn't dare to say much, everything was up to her.

Holly thought that the four girls were waiting outside Zhuangzi, so she quickened her pace and went to the room where Aunt Yu lived before her death, and left in a hurry with a few relics according to Wen Wanrong's instructions.

Halfway back, someone suddenly stopped her.

"Sister Holly!"

Holly followed the prestige, only to see a thin figure, limping towards her.

She frowned slightly, almost unrecognizable: "Tortoiseshell? How are you? ”

The tortoiseshell is thinner and darker than before in the mansion, and she can't see the habit of pampering herself from head to toe, so she curtsy and salutes: "It's rare to see my sister now, and my sister doesn't look down on me." ”

"How could I look down on you," Holly sighed slightly, "how are you doing?" I have accompanied my ancestors to worship a few times, but I have not seen you. ”

The tortoiseshell lowered her head and clenched the broom in her hand: "It's me who has lived up to the love of my ancestors, and I don't have the face to see her old man, not to mention that with the second master and his wife here, it is even more inconvenient for me to appear." ”

It is also embarrassing to appear.

Holly understood a little and patted her hand: "The past is over, the second lady doesn't care, don't take it to heart." ”

The tortoiseshell nodded, glanced at the softness of Holly's hand, and said knowingly: "Sister, leave these rough jobs to me, and I'll send my sister out." ”

As he spoke, without waiting for Holly's reaction, he took the initiative to take the soft cloth bag and limped towards the door.

Holly looked at her legs, a little reluctant, and hurriedly followed: "Tortoiseshell, you go back, I'll just go by myself." ”

The tortoiseshell refused to say anything, and insisted on sending her out.

The two didn't say anything until they reached the gate, and the tortoiseshell helped Holly into the carriage before returning the soft cloth bag to her.

When Holly was leaving, she said that if she needed anything, just ask her to ask, and she could help as much as she could.

The tortoiseshell smiled and said that as long as the relationship between the second master and the wife was good, she would be at ease.

Holly was hindered by the presence of outsiders, so she didn't say much, so she took the time to come and see her, and got into the carriage.

The tortoiseshell watched the carriage leave, but there was a trace of doubt in her eyes.

She was careful, and she had already discovered that the carriage was not from the Qin family, but from the Qi family, and the voice of holly floated out of the car, calling the other party "Mrs. Wen", wouldn't the tortoiseshell think that Wen Wanrong had cut off contact with the people of the Wen Mansion earlier?

After a long time, he asked Holly to bring people from Wenfu to the old house?

What happened to the mansion? Or did something happen to Wen Wanrong?

The tortoiseshell thumped the leg that could no longer be cured, and smelled something unusual.
