Chapter 49: The Will (Part I)

Although the Yangning Hou Mansion has not taken off the plaque of the Hou Mansion now. But it is a fact that there is no adult man in the house who can afford it. Since the second master Chen Jiu won the title, he has stayed at home in frustration, and he doesn't know how much aging wine he has consumed in the warehouse and how many young girls have been fulfilled. All in all, the upper and lower rooms of the second room are said to have thought about it behind closed doors, but the chickens and dogs in the inside have even heard about the small maids who are sprinkling and sweeping in the outer yard, and they all shake their heads.

Therefore, when evening was approaching at this time, an angel suddenly arrived without warning, and the Hou Mansion was panicked from top to bottom, and even Liu Qing, the housekeeper who accompanied the fourth young master Chen Yan to open the middle gate to welcome the Xia eunuch into the mansion, was also worried in his heart.

Although the whole street was not sealed by Jinyi Wei this time, Eunuch Xia's expression looked a little leisurely, but Liu Qing stuffed a red envelope of twenty taels of silver according to the usual rules, but the other party politely did not answer, but whenever he asked, it was a few Tai Chi pushers to deal with it, which was obviously not a good sign.

After Zhu put on a full set of the edicts of Mrs. Marquis of Yangning, he carried the red sandalwood cane given by the emperor, and got on his shoulder with the support of the green calyx jade peony, and went all the way to the second gate to come down, and saw that the inner courtyard was still neat, and the maids and servants were panicked. But she couldn't help but nod, and said to Mother Zheng beside her: "The third girl has indeed grown up now, if she wasn't vigilant, I'm afraid it would be messed up in an instant." ”

"Yes, but the third lady is good, and that is also the old lady's teaching." Mother Zheng laughed at Zhu's words, and then whispered, "But the third lady hasn't come yet, do you want someone to urge you?" Even if he is sick, there are still people in this family who are still alive, except for the old lady, there is only one third lady. ”

"Go and rush."

The hereditary iron coupon of the Marquis of Yangning has not been destroyed for a day, and the Zhu family is still the wife of the Marquis of Yangning. Therefore, he gave a faint order, and when he saw that Yu Shao heard the words, he immediately went, so he held Zheng Ma**'s hand, put the rosewood cane on the ground, and then walked slowly to the main hall Furui Hall.

Mrs. Yangning Hou is a super product, so Zhu's head is wearing a gold Zhai crown decorated with pearl Zhai, pearl peony, Jinbao Dianhua, Zhu Jin Zhai and other gold events, heavy afraid of not weighing several pounds, wearing a three-inch wide collar of real red silk large-sleeved shirt, covered with Yunxia Zhai Wen flower gold pendant gown, dark cyan gold embroidered Yunxia Zhai Xia curtain, the long skirt under the horizontal and vertical gold embroidery entangled branch flowers, looking magnificent and colorful. Although she hadn't seen people in this dress for many years, she walked very steadily step by step, and she couldn't even hear the crisp sound of those jewelry colliding.

Arrived at Furui Hall. Seeing that Eunuch Xia was standing under the big case in the middle and bowing to the Taizu imperial pen, Zhu coughed lightly, and saw Eunuch Xia turn around, and greeted him with a smile on his face, she had to bow down, and solemnly saluted to the big plaque of the Furui Hall, and then said to Eunuch Xia's head: "Father-in-law Xia, forgive me, it is that there is no preparation at home, but this incense case and other things have to wait for a while, my third daughter-in-law is a little uncomfortable, and I have sent someone to urge." ”

"It's just a little bit of an hour, how can there be a delay?" Eunuch Xia nodded with a smile, glanced at a small eunuch standing next to him, and saw that someone had gone out, so he stood up and gave Zhu a deep look, "Before our family came out, the emperor also specially ordered to see if Mrs. Tai's body was healthy, and now that you are still walking like flying, we will be able to go back and make errands." What is the purpose of today...... Although Mrs. Tai is relieved, it is a good thing, not a bad thing. ”

It's a good thing, not a bad thing!

Now. The girls who followed Zhu were all relieved, but Zheng's mother frowned. In the past few days, for the sake of the family's title, she has been running around to inquire about the news, but even a few elders have no letter from them, and the will at this time is a good thing rather than a bad thing, so could it be that the title has been decided? Seeing that Zhu Shi was also holding the handrail tightly with one hand, she didn't know that the old lady was also shocked and scared in her heart, and hurriedly grabbed the arm gently.

Since the people had not yet arrived, Eunuch Xia knew that the Zhu family was not the ordinary Mrs. of the noble family, so the people were sitting there calmly, but their mouths were talking about the words inside and outside the palace, and suddenly the conversation changed and said: "By the way, our family still has an important matter to say to Mrs. Tai, please avoid this idle person." ”

The Zhu family had also dealt with the lieutenants of the twenty-four yamen, and they didn't know about these tricks, so they immediately glanced at Zheng's mother, and saw that she had sent all the people in Furui Hall back, and ordered the green calyx to guard at the door, and then turned back, so she nodded at her. Sure enough, Zheng's mother stepped forward to Eunuch Xia to give a blessing, and when she came back, a pair of bracelets with excellent water heads on her hands were gone.

"Today, when I was enjoying the plum blossoms in the Jin Palace, there was an assassin." Eunuch Xia saw that Zhu's face turned pale all of a sudden, so he hurriedly explained, "It's just that the assassin didn't hurt anyone, so he didn't alarm the relatives of the family, only a few people knew." Alas, today is the Lantern Festival. His Royal Highness the King of Zhou was clamoring to go out of the palace to see the lights, and the emperor ordered the Jinyi Wei Yang to command the people to take people to the Jin Palace, thinking that the King of Jin would accompany him to see the lights at night. Because of this, the plum blossoms in the palace were dispersed early. ”

Although Eunuch Xia said it simply, the Zhu family lived for more than sixty years, how could he not know how many crises were hidden in this seemingly dull process? She couldn't help but let go of the armrest, stroked her chest again, and said, "I thought it was strange when the granddaughters in my family came back, but I didn't expect that this year's early dispersion was because of this...... Amitabha, fortunately, King Zhou is fine...... His Royal Highness the King of Jin is good at everything, but he is too lax with those scribes, and he would blend in with such damn people......"

Eunuch Xia saw Zhu's nagging, as if he was a little incoherent, and then asked himself for details, but he refused to say more, even if Zheng's mother came forward again, he still stood up and waved his hand and said: "Our family is just the head of the royal prison, I really don't know about the matter of Jinyiwei, if Mrs. Tai has a heart." Inquire from somewhere else...... By the way, it's not too early now, the third lady in the house should have arrived, right...... Ah, our family's memory is really terrible, and there are still things that the emperor brought to reward Mrs. Tai and all the ladies and young masters, and we have to send someone to invite them all out. By the way, is there still an aunt in the third room of the Hou Mansion who is a cousin of the Weiguo Mansion? This time, I also have a will for her. ”

These lieutenants are all full of unpredictable thoughts, how can the Zhu family dare to believe that he really has a bad memory, hearing this, his heart was suddenly shocked and angry. However, the dynasty was extremely strict with the eunuchs. A lieutenant seems to be nothing, but it represents the authority of the Son of Heaven, so she hurriedly ordered Zheng's mother, and seeing that someone went to the door to deliver the message, she had to complain half-truthfully. Who knew that Eunuch Xia just sighed and knocked on the door of her head, and she had no way to take this treacherous old eunuch.

The eunuch who passed the decree came to the house, Chen Lan went to the Water Mirror Hall, called the mothers and daughters-in-law who were in charge of all the places, and ordered people to manage all places according to their daily duties, and were also responsible for restraining the people below. She had only just touched the edge of the matter now, but she had a lot of experience in reassuring people's hearts, and a few words made those who were originally extremely uneasy feel that it made a lot of sense, so that everything was finally in order. She thought that she would just wait for news here, but who knew that it didn't take long for a little girl to run away and say that the eunuch Xia asked all the ladies and ladies in the house to take the order.

She didn't think that the will in Zhao's mother's mouth had anything to do with her, but at this moment, she was suddenly a little confused. It's just that she didn't think about it carefully, so she thought about it and left the red snail in the Water Mirror Hall, and took Yun'er back to the house. Time was pressing, and she didn't have time to pack up any clothes, so she put on the set of clothes she wore to the Jin Wangfu in the morning, but instead of using the eye-catching rose and purple crane, she changed into a half-old and not new shearing cloak, and then hurried to the front of Furui Hall.

It happened suddenly, not to mention the mother and daughter in the second room, even Aunt Luo in the third room was caught off guard. Although she said that she was not angry that she was robbed of her wife's position, she was forbearing, and she never leaked in front of people, and she didn't expect that there would be anything to do with her second room when this decree was announced. So, she sent a girl to supervise Chen Xi to change her clothes, she herself changed into a pink jacket and long skirt, and went to the main room to serve Mrs. Xu, and the family's wives and concubines and children actually arrived together.

It wasn't until the Furui Hall was full that Eunuch Xia nodded with satisfaction. At this time, someone outside reported that the incense case and so on were ready. He smiled at the Zhu family, and the Zhu family took the family out of Furui Hall. It was only after a group of people knelt down and saluted in front of the incense table in the courtyard in front of them that Eunuch Xia unfolded the scroll of holy decrees.

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict. The state set up a guard to ensure the safety of a place, set up a capital division to govern the military affairs of the province, now Yunnan is the commander of the envoy Chen Ying, Fenggong is diligent and conscientious, and the former Wei Guogong recommended many promotions, and now he is ordered to inherit the Marquis of Yangning, and his wife Xu is the Marquis of Yangning. His concubine Luo, originally a famous family, although she was a small star, but Keqin helped her husband, and now her husband is both honorable, and she should be noble, and she is specially canonized as a three-grade lady. ”

This will is not too long, listening to the ears of everyone in the mansion, some are sudden ecstasy, and some are like a thunderbolt from the sky, Chen Lan clearly saw that Chen Bing's hands pressed on the ground beside him were trembling, and his face was also spasmodic and blue, while Chen Xi on the other side couldn't hide his full joy. When she saw Chen Yan peeking at the edge, she couldn't help but smile and nodded at him again. Seeing that the little guy also looked back, and looked not very annoyed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just when she thought that this was over, who knew that the eunuch Xia actually coughed lightly, and personally went to help the Zhu family up: "Congratulations to Mrs. Tai, the hereditary title of Marquis of Yangning has finally returned." There is also a volume of holy decrees, but the emperor recited the merits of the Yangning Hou Mansion for generations, and he also rewarded other people in the Hou Mansion. ”
