The sunset shines on the Linsu River, the golden river water is rippling layers of waves because of the boatman's horn on the bank, and at the same time, there is the pen of the bookkeeper in the small bamboo house, holding the list and waiting for the verification of the account in the door, the foreman who runs the boat has a loud voice, and the sound of chatting can be heard from afar.

In previous years, the wharf at this time was not so noisy, and since the beginning of the month, Duanmu Mansion began to prepare for Duanmu's birthday, and the ships that came to deliver goods came and went without stopping. People who live by the Linsu River know that the Duanmu family has a rich family background, but they didn't expect that the small birthday banquet would make a big wave of the always quiet Linsu River. Speaking of the Duanmu family, it was said that it was the hero of the opening of the dynasty, and it was said that the first queen was the daughter of the Duanmu family, and Duanmu Anrui, who was the birthday this time, was the younger brother of the former queen and the uncle of the current prince. What is surprising is that Uncle Duanmu Anrui resigned and returned to his hometown that year, built a wharf on the bank of the Linsu River, and became a rich man, everyone said that the Duanmu family was rich, but no one knew how rich it was.

But the female voice from the small high-rise building was too cold, "The wine from Yishan will arrive tomorrow, you send a small boat to pick it up, don't go to the dock, unload it directly in the backyard of the house, cover it with silk cloth on the way, don't attract tongues because of these little things before the birthday banquet." "Yishan's liquor has always been a tribute, although this time I bought the leftovers after the tribute, but the wealth of the whole two boats is afraid to find criticism from others.

"Got it, Second Miss."

"The cargo ship must be cleaned up these days, and the guests will come in two days, and some of them will have to go by water, and it will be rude to block the dock, and these trivial matters will be bothered by the general manager."

Mr. Zhang, who was standing on the side, looked at his appearance and was not confused, but he was respectful to the face of the girl in Tsing Yi in front of him, and bowed and retreated after receiving the order, not daring to slack off.

"Manager Zhang has been doing it in Duanmu's house for several years, so Miss doesn't have to worry too much." The woman next to the girl brought the tea and handed it over. The woman in green clothes wore a green veil, embroidered with a magnolia on the veil, the veil covered her eyes, and her eyes were round and watery, and she closed the account book and took the tea, taking a sip.

"This big feast for birthday, all the people who came were people with heads and faces, and others watched it lively, but it was difficult to prevent some villains from provoking it, if they were caught with something, it would be bad if they had an incident."

"Miss is too worried, everyone understands in their hearts that Mrs. is just trying to choose a son-in-law for Miss Hua Shu this time, I heard that several sons have been secretly competing, where is there anyone who cares about the size of this birthday banquet."

"Jin Niang, they are fighting for Hua Shu, in fact, they are fighting for the Duanmu family, Hua Shu is the only daughter of the Duanmu family, and now the prince and ......" The girl in green heard the sound of movement outside the house, so she took the words, "It's good to be careful in everything." ”

"The old slave doesn't understand this, I just hope that if Miss has more thoughts, it is better to put it on her own affairs, you are one year older than Miss Hua Shu, and it is time to consider your own marriage, if you have a good son this time, you might as well talk to the master, the daughter's family always has to get married."

"All the sons who came this time are famous sons, how can I be a daughter."

Miss said this without humble meaning, but Jin Niang couldn't help but sigh in her heart, her young lady is also surnamed Duanmu, her name is Duanmu Yukun, the word is clear, she is the eldest daughter of Duanmu Anrui, but because her biological mother is a concubine, she has been inferior to Miss Huashu since she was a child. But selfishly, Jin Niang thinks that Miss is above Miss Hua Shu in terms of appearance and talent.

"Miss, when I went out, Mrs. sent someone to explain, and the eldest young master came back in the evening, and went back to the house early to have a reunion dinner together." Jin Niang reminded softly behind the young lady.

"Then let's go home." The voice was much warmer than before, and her legs and feet were a little weak after sitting for a long time, Jin Niang helped her, she looked back and smiled lightly, "Go to Pingxuanzhai before going home, my eldest brother has always liked to eat osmanthus crisp there, so I don't know if I can buy it at this time." ”

"I asked Ling'er to buy it first, two osmanthus cakes, and the pear blossom dew that Miss likes."

"If everyone under me is as thoughtful as Jin Niang, I will save too much effort."

"Miss's sweet mouth is not used to coax the old slave."

The green yarn fluctuated slightly, as if there was a slight smile in it, "Jin Niang is not old, it's just right to accompany me." Let's go back to the house, the last time the eldest brother wrote to say that the northwest wind was strong, I really want to see if he has been tanned into black charcoal. ”

Jin Niang looked at the young lady's already brisk steps, and thought to herself that she was still a seventeen-year-old girl, how calm she was in front of outsiders, and she still had three points of playfulness in her bones.

Qingrang's carriage has always walked from the side door of Duanmu Mansion, the carriage just stopped, Jin Niang got off the car to help Qing Rang, and heard the sound of horses' hooves accompanied by neighing, Jin Niang fixed his eyes and looked, that jumped off the horse was not the eldest son Yun Ze who abandoned his pen two years ago, but he was more heroic than before.

"Big young master!" Jin Niang owes herself.

Qing Rang lifted the curtain, glanced at it and hurriedly shouted "Big Brother", lifted the skirt and jumped from the car, Yun Ze quickly stepped forward to support her, staring at the face with only two eyes, and he was not too sure, "Qing Rang? ”

Qing Rang gently lowered one side veil, and a small face with a jade face was smiling, "Big brother take a closer look." ”

"It's really Qingrang, I really can't admit it wearing a veil."

"Now it's better to wear a veil when you're away from home." Qing Rang felt that someone behind his eldest brother cast a gaze and put on the veil again, "It's you, how can you go through the side door?" ”

"With my mother's character, I must have laid a net on the door, and I thought about the side door being clean." Yun Ze seemed to think of something again, "Now there is something I want to entrust to you in the affairs of your lord's family. Yun Ze turned sideways slightly, revealing the man behind him, looking not like a small servant, but it was not a brocade or silk, "Brother in our army, go home with me to visit relatives this time, rest in the house for a night, and continue to rush tomorrow, you arrange a place so that others don't disturb you." ”

"Brother Yu, my sister Qingrang."

"Miss is polite, in the next two."

Qing Rang Fang had already taken a rough look, and he knew the bottom of his heart, and returned the salute gently, "Then the eldest brother will go first, and I will take this son to Qingzhuyuan later." ”

"Brother Yu, then I'll take the first step." Before Yun Ze left, he deliberately said to Yu Er again, "If you have something, just talk to Qing Rang." ”

Qing Rang asked Jin Niang to find someone to settle Yun Ze and Yu Er's horses, and led Yu Er to Qing Zhuyuan alone.

"The wronged son will stay here for one night, and I will ask my subordinates to bring some wine and food later, and I can tell my subordinates if there is anything." Qing Rang pointed to the trail on the left hand, "From this path, it is the purple jade garden where the eldest brother lives." ”

"Thank you, Miss, for arranging."

"Childe is polite."

Qing Rang returned the gift and walked out of the yard, feeling relieved, and happened to meet a small guy, and ordered a few words, the little guy heard Qing Rang's tone as if Qing Zhuyuan lived in some big person, but found that it was just an ordinary son, but he didn't dare to slack off because of the second lady's instructions.
