Liu Dongxing stayed with Wen Yi for the night, and returned to Kangnan the next morning. Although Liu Dongning and his wife will arrive in a few days, he uses more than he cares about this cousin, and naturally he is unwilling to delay his official business for him. Recently, the garrison has been promoted and transferred from the military army one after another, and there is a training of troops in the spring, so he has a lot of things to do.

Wen Yi got her husband's instructions, and began to prepare to welcome Liu Dongning and his wife. She immediately sent Shu Ping and Dong Kui to find Han Tianshuang and bought the house she had rented before.

This is exactly what Han Tianshuang wants. Although the Jiang family rented the Sanjin house he lives in at a high price, which made him much more relaxed, but after all, he was only renting rather than buying, and the silver was limited, and the house that was rented to Liu Dongxing and his wife before was seen by many people when the officers and soldiers moved the corpses out because of the dead people, and there were already rumors of it, let alone selling it in the future, even if it was rented, it would not be so easy to sell. Therefore, as soon as he heard that Liu Dongxing's family was going to buy it, although he knew in his heart that this was a classmate friend helping him, but because the price was moderate, Liu Dongxing was really useful, so he readily agreed, and gave a nine-percent discount, and by the way, he came with a full set of furniture, and finally ordered his family to repair all the damaged corners of the roof tiles in the house, and then turned over the soil in the backyard to remove all the remaining weeds.

As soon as the house arrived, Wen Yi ordered someone to go over to tidy up and decorate. Liu Dongning is a son and brother who grew up in Fugui Township for a long time, Wen Xian has also been accustomed to seeing wealth since she was a child, if the house is too simple, she doesn't say it, and she doesn't know what she will think in her heart. Although Wen Yi didn't take their thoughts to heart, she also knew that Liu Dongxing intended to entrap this cousin in order to hit Second Uncle Liu's family, so she naturally didn't want to leave the handle, so she really put a lot of thought into decorating the house before and after, and tidying up the house inside and out. When the Chen Sijia saw it, they couldn't help but say: "The big * grandmother must not have planned to treat this place as a serious residence before, otherwise it would have been cleaned up like this earlier, which would have made it more comfortable for people to watch." ”

Wen Yi was ashamed in her heart, she really didn't regard this house as a place to live before, and at first she would only come over when she wanted to see Yunni, so only the main house in the backyard was carefully cleaned up, but later, this house completely became the territory of the General Administration, so she naturally didn't care. But this kind of thing is not good for them to know about the Chen Si family, she can only cough lightly, and said a little uncomfortably: "Our husband and wife have only arrived in Cannes for a short time, and there are too many things to be busy with, and my family is not in the city, so I haven't had time to clean up the house." Now I can finally spare my hands, but my uncle and they have arrived again, he has come to study in the academy, and this house is more suitable for him to live in than us. ”

Chen Sijia just sighed casually, when she was chatting with the Liu family's subordinates before, she had vaguely heard some rumors, saying that this master is not very harmonious with his uncle now, and the son who is about to arrive is the eldest son of this uncle, and I don't know how many unknown things there are here, so she smiled: "I see." When the second grandfather and second grandmother came, they must be very happy to see the eldest * grandmother cleaning up the house for them so hard. ”

Wen Yi smiled and changed the topic: "Their family is rich and noble, since they brought their families with them on this trip, there must be a lot of servants and women accompanying them, I can't leave you here to do things, I don't know what you think?" Shall I find you another place to go, or will you find another place to make a living? ”

Chen Sijia's face was embarrassed: "This ......" eyes flickered, and he stopped talking.

Wen Yi smiled and said, "It's okay, just tell me if you have something to say." You also know that I took you in that day, firstly, because Yunni asked for it, secondly, because I had something to do with the official affairs of my father-in-law, and thirdly, because you left the palace at that time and had nowhere to go. Now that King Kang's mansion is safe and sound, and most of the people who drove you out in the past have died, if you want to go back, it is understandable. I think that you are not from ordinary families, and those who were able to serve you in the past were all extremely noble relatives of the emperor, and it is really too aggrieved to ask you to serve in a family like ours. ”

When Chen Sijia heard this, his expression was quite sighing, his eyes were slightly red, and then he spoke: "Big * milk, the little ones were living on the streets that day, homeless, and they could be taken in by the uncle's big * milk, it was really a high incense in the previous life, where do you dare to say anything wronged?" The little ones did serve the nobles in the past, but the princes and princesses have already gone, so what's the point of talking about the old master all the time? ”

She lowered her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, but Wen Yi was moved in her heart, and faintly felt that these old servants of King Kang's Mansion did have a high opinion of themselves, although they were grateful to their husband and wife for taking them in, but they really didn't think that their family was qualified to make them royal servants. Chen Sijia said that he didn't dare to be wronged, but in fact, he was still wronged. It is better to send such a servant as soon as possible.

Chen Sijia didn't know what Wen Yi was thinking, wiped away his tears and said: "Don't hide the big * milk, since the day Zheng Wang Shizi arrived here, the little ones were moved out again, and the government sent people to station, and the little ones already knew it." Now Yunni has also followed the little prince, and the little couple has discussed with others and intends to go to the world, but the capital is far away, and the little ones are not entangled enough, and they want to stay in Cannes for a few more days to earn some travel expenses. ”

Wen Yi smiled slightly: "It's not difficult, I can still give it a few taels of silver." Don't refuse, these days, you have helped our family a lot, and the credit you have made is nothing. ”

Chen Sijia hurriedly curtsied: "Thank you for the big * milk reward." ”

Wen Yi paused, and then said: "I have an idea, you should move back to the back street of the palace first, prepare your bags, and apply for the paperwork to be used on the road, but don't set off for the time being, wait for the news from the capital to come first." This rebellion of King Zheng's Mansion, your King Kang's Mansion is meritorious, and when the will of the reward is given, wouldn't it be better for you to go to Beijing again than to be unidentified at the moment? "When the holy decree comes down, I'm afraid that Zhu Jingshen will also come, and it will save them from the Chen Sijia to go to Beijing again, and the two sides will fork the road.

Chen Sijia was a little hesitant, she thought that Wen Yi was worried that the government would deal with them, they left first, and there was a suspicion of escaping, which would bring trouble to Wen Yi and his wife. After thinking about it, she agreed. She knew what she had done, even if something happened to the others in King Kang's Mansion, they wouldn't be unlucky if they were kicked out early.

Chen Si and the others moved back to the back street of the palace, and Wen Yi arranged a few male and female servants in the new house, so they went back to their homes, waiting for Liu Dongning and his wife to arrive with peace of mind.

At the same time, Jiang and Wen Hui also talked to Han Tianshuang about renting a house, but they haven't moved over yet, a few rooms on the other side of the courtyard have been cleaned up, Wen Yi has sent two more mothers-in-law to be responsible for washing and cooking, and then ordered Shuping to hire two twelve or thirteen-year-old clever servants locally, and after the Wen Shun brothers came, these two little maids will act as their temporary guides, and the employment period is half a year. Listening to Liu Dongxing, it will be much more convenient for new students to have such a guide in the city to study and visit friends.

All the preparations have been made, but Liu Dongning and his wife have not arrived for a long time, obviously four days have passed, but there is no letter yet, Wen Yi is a little impatient. In two days, Wen Shunwen and the brothers will arrive, she still has a lot of things to do, Liu Dongning and Wen Xian don't come again, she doesn't have time to take care of them. As for Liu Dongxing, he is busy training at the moment, and it is impossible for him to come back from leave

Wen Yi sighed, looked up at the sky, put down the account book in his hand, and called Dong Kui: "Have the eldest lady and the sixth lady ever gone out today?" How do I hear the strange silence of the house over there? ”

Dong Que said: "The eldest lady and the sixth lady are at home, and they seem to have quarreled a few words in the morning, and they have been quiet since then, and even eat their own meals, and order the kitchen to send them separately in two." ”

Wen Yi wondered in her heart, the mother and daughter have always had a deep relationship, how could they quarrel so well?

She asked, "But what do you hear them arguing about?" ”

Dong Que tilted her head: "The eldest lady didn't speak loudly, and she couldn't hear it clearly outside the house, but Miss Six was excited for a while, and two words came out, as if the eldest lady wanted to go out, Miss Six was not happy, so she stopped her, and quarreled about it." The eldest lady originally instructed the concierge to prepare the car, but after the quarrel, she said that she didn't need it anymore and went to the Buddhist hall by herself. Miss Six stayed in the room and didn't come out. ”

Originally, only Wen Hui and Wen Yi often went to the small Buddhist hall at home, Wen Hui also went more frequently, but Jiang's only occasionally went over to make incense, why is it now that Jiang's goes to the Buddhist hall, but Wen Hui goes back to the room?

Wen Yi only thought that this might have something to do with Jiang's early getting up and wanting to go out, so she took Dong Kui to the small Buddha hall, only to see Jiang kneeling in front of the Buddha in a daze, sobbing from time to time, and the big girl Cuckoo next to her was comforting her in a low voice: "Miss will understand Madame's hard work, Madame, don't be sad......" But Jiang still silently shed tears and kept silent.

Wen Yi thought about it and went to the West Wing again, where Wen Hui lives these days. She walked in the door, looked left and right, and saw Wen Hui sitting under the window, leaning against the beauty, looking at the flowers outside the window in a daze.

Wen Yi hesitated slightly, then walked over with a smile and said, "Winter is coming to spring, the weather is getting warmer, but the branches are blooming?" actually fascinated the sixth sister. ”

Wen Hui moved, and her eyes rolled: "Why are you here?" "He who speaks weakly.

Wen Yi sat down on the chair opposite her and asked carefully, "Does my sister feel bored?" Do you want to go out and walk around? Look at the brightness, I think the mood will be better. ”

Wen Hui smiled and shook her head lazily: "No, it's boring." ”

Wen Yi was silent and decided to go straight to the point: "I heard that you have some disputes with your eldest aunt, what is wrong?" The eldest aunt spoils you so much, what else is not as good as you? For the sake of the eldest aunt's love for her daughter, even if she does something that makes you angry, you should be considerate. ”

Wen Hui turned her gaze back to the branch outside the window: "I'm also considerate enough." What did my mother tell me to do, how did you see that I had ever refused? After returning to Pingyang, I was going to move to Qinglian Nunnery, but my mother cried and didn't let me move, so I followed. I didn't want to see the people in the clan, I didn't want to listen to the gossip of the three aunts and six women, my mother said that I would hide only to make people gossip more, so I also met a few aunts according to her wishes. I slapped that one on my face, and I never thought that I could get married, but my mother listened to others, and always felt that I should still marry and have children, so that I could rely on them for life, and go to other people's houses every day. I know that my mother is for my good, don't I always rely on her? But that doesn't mean I'm willing to do anything."

Wen Yi raised her eyebrows: "With the eldest aunt's doting on my sister, if my sister is really unwilling, just say it clearly, she will definitely not force you again." Since you obeyed the will of the eldest aunt, it means that you are not opposed to doing so, and this will put the responsibility on the eldest aunt, what is it? Are you embarrassed too? ”

"Yes, I'm shirking my responsibility" Wen Hui stood up suddenly, "I know that I was naïve, I was in the capital that day, it was so difficult, but I could see my situation clearly, whether it was disobeying my father's order to refuse marriage, arson, or disfigurement, I didn't regret that I really wanted to get out of that family but returned to Guzhuang, everything was different." My mother said everything at home, although the clansmen gossip, they would not break into the house and give me a look in person. There is no old lady, no old man, no second master and second wife, I am still the noble eldest lady, I thought I could settle down and enjoy my mother's pampering, but I forgot that all this is short-lived and illusory, as long as the people in the capital come back, they will no longer exist. Even after the second master and the second wife came back, I ran to Cannes in order to avoid all kinds of things in the clan, and I didn't wake up, and still lived my life as I wanted, but I still woke up and looked at the letter my mother received, and the old lady was unhappy, so I could send the old lady back, but the old lady came back, and my mother had no good life, let alone me? When will she be back? How long will I live? I don't know, I don't know anything" At the end, she was a little hoarse, but finally as if she had lost all her strength, she fell limply back into her chair, choked up, and sobbed lowly.

Wen Yi was a little shocked, and only reacted after a while: "Where did it get to this point?" After all, it was your own grandmother, and even if she annoyed you, she wouldn't kill you. If you are worried that your uncle and grandmother will arrange inappropriate family affairs for you, isn't there a second room to decide? Besides, Uncle Jiang has made a great contribution this time, and he will be promoted in a few days, and the good news has been sent, what else do you have to fear? ”

Wen Hui cried, but laughed a few more times: "Who do you think the old lady is?" Will she leave this handle? The family she set must be decent on the surface, and she will not make people find faults, but in fact, who knows whether I will live or die after I get married? I've annoyed her, will she let me have a good life? Just think about it, I'm actually going to die, but sooner or later......"

Wen Yi frowned: "Since you expected this, let's think about it as soon as possible, Uncle and grandmother will return to Guzhuang, at least it will take more than a month, and when she comes back, she will have to do a happy event for you, and it will take a few months to prepare." Moreover, you are only her granddaughter, and she always has to ask her uncle what she means if she wants to give you a promise, and this letter has come and gone, and it has been a few months. For so long, how many methods have you mother and daughter not used? ”

Wen Hui said in a daze: "What good way will my mother have?" Her method was to settle my family affairs before the old lady returned. Previously, she took a fancy to Han Tianshuang, tried it a few times, saw that people didn't answer, and heard that Liu Dongning was going to bring Wen Xian here, so she said that no matter what, she had to find me someone stronger than Dongning, her family background was not comparable, and her fame must be better than him, Han Tianshuang couldn't do it, and there were others...... This is what she is doing this morning, to see a distant relative in the fourth room, who has never had contact with us, but who has a son who is a ......."

Wen Yi was dumbfounded, no wonder Wen Hui's reaction was so intense, it seemed that the arrival of Liu Dongning and his wife stimulated the Jiang family, making her determined to speed up the marriage for her daughter, but in such a hurry, what good family can she find?

She wanted to comfort Wen Hui a few words, but she was worried and didn't know what to say. At this time, Runxin came and reported: "The second grandfather and second grandmother have arrived." ”。.。
