On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the second master will return to the old Xinjiang to enter the Beifu.

On the seventh day of the first month, the Cao family and the second master Zhuang Lu had a big quarrel because of the incident in the bamboo garden. After all, the Cao family knew that Zhuang Lu was going to vacate the garden for the newcomers to live in.

Cao's head banquet on the grounds of Zhuang Ju lit up his face, exhausted the recent evil spirits, and took the opportunity to speak to the old lady and others, and the old lady relieved herself and said: "Since the uncle is important, the second master can just take it in in a low-key manner." It means that the second master can handle it at will, and it can't be done in a big way.

Is Cao unhappy? And the second master had an accident outside that day, and Cao couldn't ask the cause and effect on this day. When he knew that the bamboo garden was vacated, Cao Shi bit the second master, saying that he had used a plan to take advantage of her to entertain guests, and he would not show his face, and use this kind of carving insect skill to hide himself, so as to deal with the garden.

The second master didn't explain, but said, "Whatever you want, I have done what the old lady wants." And that's it. ”

Cao was helpless, and talked about the old things in the garden. Because of this, the second master slapped Cao's face, and there was a big fuss. In the afternoon, Cao cried and ran to Shouzhong to find help.

At that time, the old lady said to Cao's family: "The second master is not self-respecting, you should respect yourself, the family and children are here, and you don't look good." In the future, everyone will learn from each other, how can they live their lives? ”

The Cao family couldn't say it, and the old lady couldn't stand up to these words, so she had to endure it. In his heart, he hated the woman in the old department of Huijiang to the bone, and he also took Yu Qi's entry into the mansion to his heart, and hated the death of Jinghua Xie and a room of people.

Think about it again, only one who doesn't hate is Huiyuan.

Cao Shi thought, maybe Huiyuan is a big man who solves his own knots. I put my mind down and thought of a way to operate. Naturally, the Cao family still wanted to rush around the ninth day of the new year, and then take the opportunity to make trouble, so as not to let the women who returned to the old Xinjiang enter the mansion happily.

Coincidentally, on the eighth day of the first month, a word came from the palace, asking the old lady to enter the palace on the ninth day of the first month, saying that she would accompany the queen mother to Wanshou Mountain to climb the heights. Let the old lady bring a jar of gold paper to get drunk. The old lady heard the words, and her heart was half happy and half sad.

That golden paper drunk is the wine that the emperor boasted about when he was the emperor. Since the first emperor left, the queen mother has avoided the old things that the first emperor loved. Now, the Queen Mother is pointing to this wine, and she must miss her old friend. The old lady thought of the old man, and the historical past in her heart rolled like thick smoke, and her eyes were lost.

So, the old lady sent Zhu'er and Mei'er to Beifu to get gold paper drunk, and asked her to pass the message to the county lord of Xifu, and enter the palace with her early tomorrow morning to face the queen mother.

Zhu'er and Mei'er came to Beifu to get wine, and it was already the time to hold the lamp.

Two people to Beifu.

As soon as I entered the mansion, I saw Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Ying sitting under the second porch inside, the girl was standing and waiting in the distance, and several people did not speak.

Zhu'er woke up, walked quickly to Zhuang Xuan's side, passed by Zhuang Xuan's girl Wanjin, paused for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "It's so late, why don't you turn on the lights?" ”

Wan Jin turned his head and raised his chin to Ermen, signaling that the Cao family and the second master were quarreling, and then signaled his eyes to look at Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Ying.

Zhu'er was smart and understood a little, so he walked quickly to Zhuang Xuan, saluted, and said: "When you arrive in Chongyang, the weather is deep and cold, and the second and third girls sit outside at night, and they will be immersed in their bodies." Those little girls are more and more ignorant, and the girls don't beat them, they are used to letting go, what will happen in the future. ”

When Zhuang Qi saw Zhu'er, his eyes lit up slightly, and Zhuang Ying also stood up and approached.

Zhuang Qi said: "Why are you here?" "I want to pull Zhu'er to sit down, but Zhu'er hangs his head and face sideways, and he doesn't sit.

Zhuang Ying said: "Something? ”

Zhu'er said: "There is a word from the palace, let the old lady enter the palace early tomorrow." The Queen Mother waited. ”

Zhuang Xuan was slightly startled, and glanced thoughtfully into the second gate, before saying, "How sooner or later?" The wives know about it? ”

Zhu'er said: "How can I know, I will come to the middle house after eating, and go straight to the middle house." No one is allowed to pass it on, and few of us don't know about it. So he turned around and glanced at Mei'er.

Mei'er answered, "Yes! So the old lady called over, not for tomorrow's business. ”

Zhuang Xuan was puzzled and said a little uneasily: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhu'er took Zhuang Xuan's hand and patted it: "The queen mother wants to eat the golden paper drunk in our house, that's it." Naturally, let the old lady accompany him to Wanshou Mountain to climb the heights. ”

After Zhuang Xuan listened, he was speechless, and raised his chin lightly towards the second door.

Zhu'er saw that Sister Zhuang Qi didn't say anything, and after leaving her leave, she walked towards the second gate. After entering the double courtyard, it leads directly to the welcome hall of the North Mansion.

At this time, the lights in the hall are brilliant, the red silk tent hangs in the courtyard outside the hall, and the lanterns are fluttering. The landscape and greenery in the inner courtyard have also been carefully repaired. Now that I see it, it is a little out of place with the scenery of the courtyard outside.

When I was about to go inside, I suddenly saw Guiyuan, Yuyuan and a few little girls standing outside. And in the hall, the Cao family and the second master were quarreling. The second master sat in the hall, holding the jade agate bracelet that he played with every day, and shook it around.

Cao sat down in the hall with a handful of snot and tears, and said something.

Zhu'er didn't dare to listen carefully, so she gently went to Guiyuan's side and signaled to her that she was coming, so that she could pass it on.

Where did Gui Yuan and Yu Yuan dare to go in at this juncture, and hurriedly waved their hands.

Zhu'er was anxious and wanted to wait a little before going in. But Mei'er glanced at a few people, quite righteous, lifted her skirt and went inside.

When he arrived at the door of the hall, he first gave a deep salute. Seeing this, Zhu'er also hurried to follow.

Before Zhu'er could speak, Mei'er had already reported to the people inside: "Old lady, the old lady is rumored to be drunk." ”

The people inside listened. Cao Shi hurriedly wiped his tears and changed his face to meet him.

The second old man, Zhuang Lu, also got up and asked urgently: "The old lady hasn't eaten at this time?" What are you all doing, so many people can't serve one person! ”

Zhu'er didn't dare to talk back at this time, biting her lip and suffering. She knew that the second master must have taken the opportunity to vent.

Mei'er didn't follow, and replied: "Master, why do you blame us for this." The old lady didn't eat well and sleep well for the past two days in Beifu. We don't dare to take it lightly for a moment. Where is the reason why we don't let the old lady not eat. The old lady sent us over, and it was the head of the palace who spread the word that she wanted to eat the wine from our house. ”

In this way, Zhu'er spoke and said, "The old lady will enter the palace early tomorrow morning, and the third lady will also go with her." ”

When Zhuang Lu heard this, he was speechless for a while.

This made Cao Shi so happy that he opened his mouth, and took Mei'er's hand again and again, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you there." Then, let Guiyuan and Yuyuan and other girls go and light the lamp.

After a while, Cao took Zhu'er Mei'er out of the hall to get wine.

Taking the wine out of the cellar, Cao Shi had the heart to ask Mei'er: "The old lady will go to the palace tomorrow, so why should she come back sooner or later?" ”

Mei'er didn't know, she only looked at Zhu'er. Here, Zhu'er is the first girl in the middle government, and she should be the first to know about these internal affairs.

Cao's old Baba looked at the bamboo.

Zhu'er shook her head and said, "It should be the same as usual, but if you want to go to Wanshou Mountain, you have to walk for a while, and you may have to come back at night." ”

After hearing this, Cao said with a smile: "I can't guarantee that the Queen Mother will still leave the old lady to serve for dinner!" He stayed in the palace at night. ”

Zhu'er knew the meaning of Cao's words, which was nothing more than asking the old lady not to preside over tomorrow's concubine ceremony for the second master, so that the aunt who came in outside would not be right.

Cao Shi said again: "I've said all the good things, your lord doesn't listen to me, and now it's not a dragon's head." The first nine demons descended to earth, and the house should not be married. You don't know yet, the bamboo garden is still being repaired today. The piles and piles are ignored. Let's see what good life they can have in the future. ”

While speaking, several people had already gone out to the courtyard of the second gate.

Cao was cheerful at this time, and said that he was afraid that it would be too late for the old lady to find them to serve and not leave the two of them, so he asked the two to go back quickly to serve the old lady to rest, so that they could enter the palace as soon as possible.

After leaving Cao's family, Zhu'er and Mei'er came out, and when they arrived outside the mansion, they happened to see Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Ying directing those girls and servants to light lanterns.

Zhu'er and Mei'er didn't stay, and lowered their heads and returned to Zhongfu to resume their lives.

Return to Zhongfu Shou Zhongju.

Zhu'er told the old lady one by one what she had encountered in Beifu, and the old lady laughed after hearing it, and asked Mei'er to go to the warehouse to find gold silk and yellow satin to wrap the gold paper drunk, and then find a gift box, and when Mei'er took the box out and put it on, the old lady disliked that the jar containing the wine was not good-looking, and it was not worthy of the box, so she asked her to take the glass bottle and refill the wine. Therefore, Mei'er went to call Lan'er again, and a few girls were outside to tinker with the wine.

The old lady took advantage of the opportunity and asked Zhu'er: "It's been this day and night, what's the trouble?" ”

Zhu'er smiled: "I don't hear it too seriously, for the matter of the aunt outside, I guess the lord and the wife have some disagreements." ”

As she was talking, Mei'er brought the packaged glass bottle and gave it to the old lady. The old lady looked at it, took it in her hand and looked at it for a while, felt what the shortcomings were, thought for a while, and then said: "I remember that in the first few years, the Haining Cha family sent three pairs of golden sheep, all of which are the meaning of Sanhe, Sanyang Kaitai." You take it and put it in the box. ”

Mei'er was surprised and asked, "Why did the old lady remember this?" It's been a few years since I put it there, and I'm still thinking about it so carefully. Then I'll look for it. ”

Maier said and went.

Zhu'er waited for Mei'er to go and asked the old lady: "The queen mother wants wine, how can she send the golden sheep?" ”

The old lady smiled back and said: "The Queen Mother is so auspicious, but she can't do it, adding another layer of rui qi to her heart." Take the wine, and the mind is lighter. ”

Zhu'er said again: "Wouldn't it be better to let Lan'er hurry up and cook a few good pastries?" Gin with jade food is also just right. ”

The old lady waved her hand and said, "You don't know this." He leaned his head over and whispered to Zhu'er: "The Queen Mother is a sheep." This golden paper is drunk, in case it doesn't suit her, for the sake of this, blame us less. Besides, when you see this, eat less wine and don't get drunk. ”

As soon as it was dialed, Zhu'er suddenly brightened up, and repeatedly praised the old lady for her thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness.

The old lady smiled and said, "Think before and after doing things, don't mess up." The people in this house lack this, and if they don't care about the front and the back, can things not be messed up? You see that Mei'er, this girl, is doing this, and she doesn't care about the front and back, and she doesn't care about the outside. Alas......"

While the old lady was talking, Mei'er returned.

Meier showed the old lady something. The old lady was satisfied, and let the rules be put away.

At this time, Mei'er smiled at the old lady: "Old lady, don't listen to Zhu'er talking bad about me behind her back, if I didn't export it in Beifu just now, I won't be able to get this wine back later!" ”

The old lady smiled: "Where did you speak ill?" That's what I said! The bamboo girl didn't even say anything about you, you wronged others. Your heart is narrowed. ”

Mei'er coquettishly went to uncover the old lady's forehead and help rub her forehead.

The old lady said: "You are so strong, Zhu'er can't compare to you." I also like you like this, you can treat people like bamboo so steadily every day, I like it even more. In a year or two, I'll let you out first, and then point out a good person for you, and I'll treat you well among these girls. ”

After listening to this, Mei'er stopped, her eyes were red, and she said, "The old lady dislikes me, and feels that I can't serve you well." Now you want to take me away. First say that my heart is narrow, and then chase me. If you want to refer to people, then you should also refer to Zhu'er first, and it is not my turn to line up. ”

The old lady laughed and motioned for Zhu'er to take Mei'er's hand and continue to remove the headdress for herself.

Before Mei'er could do anything, she pushed away Zhu'er's hand and did it herself.

The old lady glanced at Mei'er a little, patted her on the waist, and smiled silently.

Everything stopped, and told Zhu'er to do some family affairs tomorrow, and then rested. By the end of the night, before the rooster crowed, the old lady woke up and hurriedly put on makeup and clothes. At that moment, the butler came to report that the carriage and lights had been parked and that it was time to go out. According to the daily entry into the palace, all the rooms in the house should gather together to send out, because of the suddenness of the incident, the old lady did not know to go down, only passed the third wife and the county lord to go together. When she went out of the gate and was about to get into the carriage, the Cao family led Zhuang Xiu and Zhuang Ying to pay their respects.

The old lady was happy in her heart, but she didn't show much after all, she only told Cao Shi seriously: "I only let Lan'er enter the palace with me, and I can't take care of the rest of the matter, your heart is relaxed and farther, and you can be at ease when you see others." Two girls, three girls, you also have to remind your wives a lot, don't worry your wives day by day. The work in the house, all the big and small affairs are handled by your wife, and you should feel sorry for her. ”

Cao Shi was extremely moved by these words, and his tears couldn't contain his tears, and he couldn't say anything.

The county lord who was following him was afraid that he would miss the hour, so he said to the old lady, "It's time, old lady. ”

So, the old lady got into the car. sat down in the car, and before the carriage left, he lifted the curtain and said to Cao Shi and the others: "I have instructed Zhu'er about today's affairs." That's what she said. If I can listen to you, I will listen to a sentence or two, and if I can't, I won't be able to hear it, and I won't be able to control so much when I come back. You understand? ”

Everyone in the Cao family saluted and promised to say that they knew. The rest of the crowd watched the carriage go away.

After the old lady left, the rooster crowed.

Of course, on this day, the ninth day of the new year, there is not only the sound of roosters, but also other boiling sounds!

If the sound is not crisp and the voice is not broken, how could Yu Qi and Qin be involved in these disturbances?
