"Mother Qin was sold to be a rough mother-in-law in Zhang's house in Xiaofu Lane to do sprinkling and sweeping, she always said that Mother Rong harmed her, and the fairy jump was instructed by Mother Rong, this slave went to check, before Mother Rong entered the house, the experience was indeed very complicated, plus what she did today, she is not suitable to be a nurse."

"Hmm!"

"Miss, Ah Lai will personally tell the grandfather of the country this, you don't need to come forward, the slave maid is to tell you according to the rules."

Wen Jin understood Ah Lai's thoughts, she entered the Xiao family, and all the nurses of several cheap sisters were sent away, and the gossip outside would be very unfavorable to herself, but with her father Xiao Yi coming forward, wouldn't she be responsible for the black pot? She thought for a moment, then waved her hand to Ah Lai and said, "Come to Damu, don't be so complicated, didn't Grandpa Guo let you find a grandmother who teaches the rules?" Since the second and third ladies are unwell and can't go to Zhuangzi, why don't they let Mama come to the house? There is nothing more reasonable than sending Mother Rong out and inviting Mama Etiquette in. ”

When Ah Lai heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "What the eldest lady said is that she said that she was afraid that the nurse would watch the young lady suffer, so let them avoid it first." ”

This is also a precedent in the capital, the girl in the family is spoiled, and when the mother makes up her mind, the first thing is often to send the nurse away.

Xiao Qiyun's appearance, the reputation outside is not very good, now, Wen Jin's move, some people criticize, but most people will definitely understand.

Ah said to do it, and went to Zhilan Courtyard again.

"Second Miss, Fourth Miss is too young, I'm afraid that Mother Rong will not succeed the more she teaches, why don't you let her learn the rules with you and Third Miss?"

Xiao Qiyun was very willing, but she didn't want to go outside the city: "My third sister and I are still a little unwell. ”

"This ——, Ah came to fight bravely, and went to ask Grandpa Guo at night, so let's learn the rules in the house."

"Hee-hee, hard work!" Xiao Qiyun smiled.

"Second Miss, Fourth Miss should have been grounded for a month, if she stayed in Zhilan Courtyard, your courtyard should be closed."

"It's sealed, it's okay." As long as Xiao Qiyun stays with her little sister, this is not free, but she can still bear it.

"In this way, Ah Lai will take Mother Rong away tonight."

"Okay!"

Xiao Qiyun came forward, Xiao Ayayun didn't say a word of objection, and Rong's mother was taken out by Ah Lai.

Wen Jin's three cheap sisters who were in the way were circled, and her life became easier all of a sudden.

On this day, Wen Jin was in the flower hall as usual, listening to the housekeeper's mother.

First of all, Mother Song on the needlework, she took out a burden and gave it to Wen Jin: "Miss, Grandpa Guo asked me to make you a few clothes, what do you think this material looks like?" ”

Wen Jin was a little strange, how could the clothes be on the needle and thread.

Mother Song hurriedly explained: "This was sent by Prince Ren's Mansion the day before yesterday, saying that it was a gift to the eldest lady, and the grandfather was there at that time, he was the master of accepting it, and directly asked Steward Xiao to send it to the slave maid, the slave maid thought about it again yesterday, and never dared to cut it, and felt that it was better to ask the young lady." ”

Wen Jin noticed that she was talking about Prince Ren's Mansion, and was a little puzzled, Mother Song hesitated: "That's what Grandpa Guo said, and the gift giver is also a steward of the outer courtyard of Prince Ren's Mansion." ”

Wen Jin took a look, the color of the clothing is more elegant, unlike the peach, fruit green, sapphire blue and covered with large patterns that young women in the capital like now, but pink, light purple, tender green, etc., the patterns are also small flowers and fine checks, which is exactly the style he likes.

This is definitely not the handiwork of Prince Ren, that is what Qian Jun meant, Wen Jin was a little moved by him so much about and cared about himself, and felt that he was a little cold, and he simply failed the handsome guy's good intentions.

The capital is more north than Liangzhong Province, and the summer is also dry, probably because of the lack of water, it is hotter than Minghu City, and the clothes after entering Beijing are the colors and appearances chosen by Yujie County, it is rare to be able to make your own decisions, and the clothes are your favorite colors, since they have all been accepted, they will accept this love, Wen Jin said to Song's mother: "Put the clothes here first, and then talk about it when I think about it." ”

"Yes!" Mother Song saluted.

Zheng's mother, who was in charge of the warehouse, asked Wen Jin: "The weather has been good for the past two days, do you want to dry the fur in the warehouse?" ”

"Haven't you started drying yet?" The money in the Qian Mansion was almost finished, Wen Jin saw Zheng's mother nodding, so she urged: "Hurry up, if there are not enough people, transfer a few of the rough jobs in these yards, prepare more people, be careful that the sky suddenly changes, and it is not good if the skin is rained." ”

"There are also a lot of furs in the cage in the lady's room, do you want to dry it?"

"Let's go through what you have first, the things in the main room, you haven't finished registering yet." Wen Jin was going to take away all the clothes that he had worn, and those who didn't wear them were going to give gifts or sell them, thinking that Zhao Yulan was so vicious that she could send someone to kill her mother with this body, Wen Jin couldn't face the things in that house calmly.

Sent away a house of people, Wen Jin just picked up the teacup and took a sip, when he heard someone coming, and then the bamboo curtain sounded, it was Ah Lai.

"Eldest Miss, Grandpa Guo has not been in the mansion these days, there is something I have to tell you, just now Zhuangzi sent an urgent letter, and Mother Su confessed that she once heard Mother Rong and Mrs. Zhao talking, as if she was called Mother Rong's cousin."

"What?" This news is too explosive, how can the cousin of the dignified Duchess be willing to be an adoptive mother?

"Someone has been sent to investigate, the house registered that this Rong mother was resold from the hands of Renyazi, it is the family of a corrupt official, she should have been raided at home at the time, escaped, but soon fell into the hands of bad people, has done several bad things of swagger and deception, so all the way to the capital, I don't know how to meet Mrs. face, when the fourth lady just asked for a nurse, she entered the house, Grandpa Guo should not know that there is such a relative."

"Oh, I didn't expect that."

"Mother Su said that Mother Rong must still know some secrets, maybe it will also help to unlock Mrs. Zhao's secrets."

"Then, it's time to try this nurse well. Damm, I have to work hard for you. ”

"Miss, what are these words? The entrustment of the grandfather of the country is the responsibility of the slave couple, what should be done, why is it hard or not? ”

The Xiao Mansion has been in the hands of Zhao Yulan for more than ten years, even if half of the house slaves are sold, the rest can hardly be said to be clean, but now they all have to be honest.

After Ah Lai left, Qiu Shi came over with a post, and it turned out that Yuhe wanted to visit the next day. Xiao Yi doesn't know what to be busy with these days, she doesn't have time to have a meal with Wen Jin, she is in the inner house of Xiao Mansion, except for the maid is a servant, there are no relatives and no friends, naturally Yuhe is welcome to come early, she told Xia Yang to help write a post and send it to the outer courtyard, so that the people from Siyi Hall can bring it back by the way.

It turned out that Xiao Yi went to the farm to personally check the situation of summer harvest and autumn sowing, and when she returned to the house that evening, Wen Jin heard the news, so she went to ask for peace, and by the way explained why the three were grounded by her.

Xiao Yi saw her daughter, her face was full of smiles, and she didn't feel bored when she heard Wen Jin babble about her parents' shortcomings, and she didn't say a word when she heard that Wen Jin had enclosed the three of them in Zhilan Courtyard by learning the rules.

Wen Jin didn't comment on Xiao Qiyun's three, only explained the process of the matter, she believed that Xiao Yi's IQ must have his own judgment.

"This Rong's mother is very suspicious, Ah Lai is really good."

"Yes, Daddy, I came to Damu for the good of our house."

Xiao Yi smiled with satisfaction, of course he hoped that his confidant's family could get along with his relatives, instead of finding an excuse to drive them all to the farm like Zhao Yulan.

Wen Jin rarely goes out now, except for being able to send things here, Qian Jun can't see the person he misses, not to mention how anxious he is, but Emperor Yongchang sent someone to follow him, and after knowing what Qian Jun did, he felt very uncomfortable, and the little cousin dared to fight for a woman with him, and he didn't want to be confused. Although Emperor Yongchang already had other thoughts, but before he gave up, the eldest lady of the Xiao family was still his, how could Emperor Yongchang tolerate Qian Jun's decision? His mind turned sharply, and he made a will for Qian Jun to go to the Western Xinjiang Labor Army, hum, this trip will take four or five months, not half a year, but also four or five months, by then, he may have settled the dust.

Qian Jun came to the Xiao Mansion with a bitter face to say goodbye, Xiao Yi was very surprised, when did Prince Ren's son have a relationship with him? But then he understood what he meant, he accepted the gift and was very polite to Qian Jun, but he didn't send anyone to inform Wen Jin.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, and son-in-law is a thief who steals his father-in-law's beloved things.

There is a flood of beautiful words about Qian Jun in the capital, and Xiao Yi is not ignorant of this, but seeing is believing and hearing is false, since the kid is interesting to my daughter, then take out real skills and pass the inspection of my old man.

Wen Jin strictly ordered the subordinates of the Xiao Mansion not to discuss the master in private, there are advantages and disadvantages, Xiao Yi and Qian Jun first discussed how to march and arrange the formation in the study, it is said that Qian Jun was confused, Xiao Yi was very dissatisfied, and then, Xiao Yi wanted to test his martial arts, and the two went to the school field in the house to fight.

Chunming inquired, and only then did he know such news, and in the end, Wen Jin couldn't hold back his curiosity, and called the little guy who was waiting for tea in the outer courtyard to ask about the situation, and the little guy said with his eyebrows dancing: "Miss, it is definitely a battle for the ages, the martial arts of the master and the prince are all top-notch, and the eyes and hearts of the little ones are trembling, I am really afraid that they will be injured if they are not careful." “

Although the matter has passed, Wen Jin's heart is still beating violently: "They are really on the ground?" “

"Not really. At first, it was just hand-to-hand fighting, and no one could beat anyone, but later, the old man got angry, picked up a spear, and the prince drew a long-handled broadsword, this battle, it was a thrilling, it was really earth-shattering, and the sun and moon were dark-"

"Flutter-" Chunming and Xia Yang, who were waiting on the side, couldn't help it and laughed, "You're poor." ”

Jar Zhengse said: "This is what Steward Xiao's nephew said, I only know a few words, where can I come up with these good words?" Oh, Miss, when I heard him say these words, I felt that it was too appropriate, really, the lord and the prince fought for more than a hundred rounds, and in the end, the prince was afraid that the lord would be tired, so he shouted to stop, saying that he lost, and then he would stop the war. ”

"What about the master?"

"The old man was so tired that he gasped violently, and the prince patted his back and helped with massage, and apologized vigorously in his mouth, saying that he was not good at learning, and when he came back from Western Xinjiang, he must ask for advice from the master."

"What did the master say?"

The old man said yes again and again, laughing.

Needless to say, Wen Jin's master and servant all understood that Xiao Yi was not satisfied with Qian Jun.

Wen Jin waved his hand to let the cylinder withdraw, and Chunming couldn't wait to speak: "Miss, it is said that the master is the first warrior of Jurong, and now it seems that the prince's kung fu is higher than him." ”

"Sir, that's old." Wen Jin just made up a little maid Dongxue, very unhappy for the old master, her father was brought by Xiao Yi from ***, since she was a child, she heard her father worship the old master, she can't allow anyone to slander the idol in her heart.

Xia Yang opened his mouth and was about to speak, Wen Jin waved his hand: "Don't fight, which of them has high martial arts, it is not something that we can change by fighting with our mouths." Prince Ren's son is in the prime of life, and the lord is in his forties, with this article, he has won, and it is normal, and the lord's physical strength is not continuous. ”

A few maids were silent.

Dongxue went home and talked to his father Gaduo about it: "It's better to be the eldest lady, unlike Chunming and Xia Yang, eating the old man and wearing the old man, and turning his elbows outward." ”

Wen Jin's newly supplemented maid Dongxue is the son of Xiao Mansion, and his father also followed Xiao Yi from ***, hearing his daughter's words, his face welled up with joy: "Father and daughter are connected, the eldest lady is really the master's biological daughter, and she protects the master everywhere." The eldest lady is a good example, you have to serve her well. ”

"Yes, Daddy."

Gaduo was happy for the old master, and when they met, he told Xiao Yi to hear this.

"You heard Dongxue say that the eldest lady defended me?"

"Well, that's true."

A warmth welled up in Xiao Yat's heart. Before he appeared, Wen Jin knew the prince of Ren, at the beginning, he was happy to see Qian Jun's literary and martial arts, all proficient, but he had never had an opponent on the battlefield before, and now he lost to a young man, and he was still very unconvinced, the two just started to fight with their bare hands, obviously his moves were spicy and thoughtful, but he couldn't stand Qian Jun's agility and flexibility, and he was always a bad move at a critical moment, Xiao Yi couldn't get over his face, so he pulled the spear over.

His spears and broadswords were not sharpened, otherwise he would not have done that.

It's always embarrassing to lose, although this boy is likely to be his son-in-law, in short, he may be his own person, but that is also very sad for him, thinking that he was immediately swordsman, how majestic, great glory, and he can't find an opponent to match.

Thinking of the past, and looking at today, Xiao Yi's heart is full of the desolation of the twilight of heroes, and the maintenance of his daughter makes Xiao Yi feel warm.

When Qian Jun left two days later, Xiao Yi waited for him to see him off at the Shili Pavilion outside the city, and Wen Jin was sitting in the carriage.

There are elders, Wen Jin and Qian Jun can't say anything, she asked the family to make a windbreaker made of stone blue muslin fabric, and a cloak with a silver and gray background embroidered with an eagle in the big hair, and gave it to Qian Jun.

In the end, Xiao Yi pulled Qian Jun and pointed out the flaws in his martial arts one by one, and repeatedly told him to be careful when he was against the enemy.

Qian Jun nodded solemnly in agreement, and finally, he reluctantly glanced at the carriage, turned over and got on the horse with the burden given by Wen Jin, waved his hand, and rode his horse westward, avoiding the entourage that was an arrow away, and soon followed.

The sound of horses' hooves on the official road was broken, and the remnant sun was like blood, although Xiao Yi was in the downtown area, he felt the majestic desolation of the frontier.

Wen Jin watched Qian Jun's figure disappear, and his heart was still very sour.

can't control the sourness of his own fate, and even his feelings can't follow his own heart, so he has to deliberately suppress it.

At the same time, Concubine Qiao Taishu cried in front of the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, Duchess Xiao Guo died too unjustly, just being suspected, how could she take poison so inexplicably?" Doesn't this admit that she killed Xiao Guogong's ex-wife with her hands and feet? She can't be so stupid, can she? Anyway, she was also married by the Empress Dowager, which can be regarded as a little confident, Xiao Guogong has no real evidence, and he doesn't dare to do anything to her, this thing is really strange. ”

The Queen Mother was very unhappy, it was difficult for Zhao Yulan to clear her suspicion of this matter, and she was ashamed to mention it because the royal family lost her adult, and Concubine Qiao was too ignorant of current affairs.

"Queen Mother, I'm not unhappy with my relatives, but I'm afraid that the remnants of the Liang Dynasty are still alive, this Xiao Guogong is the sworn enemy of those people, and it is too likely that he will harm his wife."

The Queen Mother frowned: "What is the use of the remnants of the Liang Dynasty not harming Xiao Guogong, but harming his wife?" Don't say much of that. ”

Concubine Qiao took a handkerchief and dipped her eyelashes, looking aggrieved, and seeing that the Queen Mother was impatiently picking up the teacup, she had to bow and retreat.

======

The farewell made Wen Jin sad, although Qian Jun was full of confidence, Wen Jin was very optimistic about the contest between him and the emperor. Back in the house, because Yuhe was about to visit, Wen Jin cheered up and arranged for the kitchen to make a few snacks tomorrow, and purchase the ingredients for a table of noodles.

In the middle of the next morning, someone came to report, "Lord Mei's carriage has arrived." ”

Wen Jin got up and took a few girls to greet him at the second gate.

Yuhe was wearing a pink short fruit green dress, plus a goose yellow gown, the bright color matched her white porcelain-like complexion, and her black jewel-like eyes, which made her even more beautiful and outstanding.

"Sister, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I feel like it's been a few months." Yuhe said exaggeratedly.

"What? Can't hold it back in Siyi Pavilion? ”

"Hehe, I was walking around the street yesterday, see me wearing your Hanfu, isn't it beautiful?" "Beautiful!"

...
