She didn't want to get it, and Peony and the others couldn't force it.

The east wing is quiet, but the west wing is very lively.

Qinghui Yuan is not big, and the west chamber is passing water, and it is asking for flower petals and incense, and occasionally there is a woman's whispered scolding. seems to be reprimanding the little maid for not acting quickly and delaying the new master's big event.

People up and down the corridor were running fast with their clothes in their pots, putting them on and out, and the figures were chaotic.

Qinghui Garden is not clean, and the embroidered heart pavilion not far away is similar. Regardless of whether the Zheng family really wants to enter the Xiao family, since they have already entered the door, they are ready to fight with others. There are so many women in this family, all of them are beautiful and their identities are not simple. If she doesn't have a man's heart, I'm afraid the future will be very difficult.

Zheng understands the stakes in his heart, and he does his best to pick up his own children.

After such a while, the movement of Qinghui Garden and Embroidery Heart Pavilion reached Siyi Temple.

Concubine Lin was dressed in a gold-sprinkled six-piece jade skirt, covered with a crimson trimmed gown, with exquisite makeup, and the demon was lying on the soft couch playfully, also waiting. Hearing that the four newcomers had their own attitudes, he immediately sneered.

"Even if you pick up a flower, you will show it to the blind! If you have that interest, where can it be their turn! ”

Zijuan carefully mended Concubine Lin's lips, and under the flickering candle flame, it was as red as a full cherry. While holding up the mirror to show Lin, he sarcastically said contemptuously.

"Isn't it?" Lu Ying smiled and said with a flattering face, "I haven't seen a few catties and taels yet, I really use myself as a dish." ”

"A girl is always looking forward to her beloved. However, this Wang's temperament is wooden, he has no eyes, he won't come to trouble, and he has a good face. Speaking of this, Mama Su didn't know whether to ridicule or make fun of her, and shook her head with a sigh, "It's okay like this, it just so happens that the master's back house is also very crowded." There is no room for so many people to eat dry rice. ”

Concubine Lin hooked the corners of her mouth, and snorted almost inaudibly.

The hand coated with bright red cardamom shook the fan lightly twice. No matter how soft the voice is, it doesn't prevent the people below from noticing. I know it all.

Although the mother didn't take these rural women seriously, the toad lay on her feet and didn't bite people and disgusted people. As long as there are these people in the house, it will always be annoying. If you can settle down, it's naturally good, and if you are restless, it's comfortable to get rid of it.

The people of Siyi Yuan have always been arrogant and never worry about this.

It is true that Mama Yuan is in charge of the middle feed in the house, but the Lin family is also a legitimate side concubine. is the heroine of the royal jade. Mama Yuan just took Xiao Yanxing's majesty and spoke with a bit of weight, which really angered the Lin family, so she could only give in. For the concubines who don't have these titles, she said that if she dies, she will die. Can Her Highness still reprimand her for a few rural village girls?

Lin changed his posture and fanned, glancing at the movement outside from time to time. The posture is good, as if he doesn't care much. Listening to the excitement of what people say, I hooked the corners of my mouth from time to time. The atmosphere is also relaxed.

After waiting for about three quarters of an hour, there was finally a slight noise outside.

The little girl ran in a hurry, and rushed to the door in a hurry. When someone brought him in, he opened his mouth and said, "The master has already rested, resting in the front yard." ”

One sentence poured out the heat of antiquation in the room, and the fan in Lin's hand immediately flew out.

The lively atmosphere stiffened for a moment, and the birds were silent.

==

Seeing that it was about to be time, Wang Shu closed the book with a clatter and stood up: "It seems that no one will come, let's rest." ”

On the first night of entering the house, it was a bad reception, some people were happy and some were worried. If you have a heart higher than the sky or have other plans, it is naturally difficult to sleep. The master above is not in high spirits, and the people below are also worried. The grumpy vomiting until half the night, the people naturally have to accompany and persuade. The night seemed peaceful, but in fact, many people closed the door and gnashed their silver teeth.

slept well, probably only Wang Shu was the only one.

When she got up early the next day, Wang Shu woke up and heard that the lights in the West Chamber, which had not been extinguished all night.

What Liu thinks, Wang Shu can't control. According to the rules of the house, no matter if they slept last night, they can't wake up in the morning. Let's not talk about whether this rule is or not, and whether the Lin family is the head of the master or not, she is the biggest in the house now, and the newcomer naturally respects her. What she said, that's what she had to hear.

slept well and got up early, Wang Shu finished washing, and used the morning food with great interest. Today's morning food is still very much to her taste, she ate a large bowl of shredded chicken noodles in one go, and added a few crystal dumplings.

When I got out of the house, I met Liu in the cloister of the courtyard.

In the distance, Liu was wearing a dazzling Danbi gauze double skirt and combing a flowing cloud bun.

However, Liu's hair is not thick, and a thin layer is attached to the skull. Not only is it not so demure and noble, but it is a little embarrassing to look at. I probably didn't sleep all night last night, and my face doesn't look very good today. A pair of watery eyes don't look as bright as yesterday today. The blue and black under the eyes were covered with fat powder, and the face was a little dazzling.

Wang Shu nodded with her, and the two went to Siyi Courtyard together.

I came here yesterday, but I'm familiar with it today.

The attitude of the subordinates of the Siyi Academy was lukewarm, and they didn't look at a few newcomers when they saw them. It is estimated that the Lin family is not in the mood to deal with it, and his face is not revealed. I sent a random grandmother out to say a few words, and then sent them away.

Liu was dizzy and didn't want to talk to Wang Shu more. said that his body was uncomfortable and left first.

Wang Shu doesn't care, this place doesn't restrict their freedom. As long as you don't go to the front yard, no one cares where you go. He was under house arrest by Mao for nearly two months, and he had a rare opportunity to come out and move around. Now that I'm out, I'm going to wander around.

Peony silently followed her, wanting to remind her. But when you think about it, no one else comes to this courtyard, and it won't get in the way if you turn around. Then Wang Shu walked around. Think about it, after all, this mansion will be the place where the new master will stay for the rest of his life, and it is not a bad thing to recognize the location everywhere.

I wanted to walk around the garden twice, but as we walked, the two of them got more and more away from the yard.

This courtyard is located in the southeasternmost part of the house, some distance from the front yard and the main courtyard. Wang Shu didn't dare to trespass in, so she stretched out her head and took a few looks. The door of the courtyard was open, and it looked very well repaired and the space was large, but it was unexpectedly vacant.

Wang Shu asked, and Peony looked left and right, and then lowered her voice and said meaningfully: "This courtyard...... The closest to the small Buddha hall. ”

Wang Shu: "? ”

Seeing that Wang Shu didn't understand, she explained: "The master has set up a small Buddha hall in the east, and he will go to Qing Xiu when he has time." The master is the most quiet, and he is even more pious when he worships the Buddha, and he does not allow others to disturb him. This yard ......"

She glanced at the direction of the Siyi Courtyard, and said more carefully: "Even the one in the Siyi Courtyard can't live there." ”

Wang Shu: "......" misogynism to this, what wife and concubine does this master marry?

“…… The lotus root pond in this yard is well dug. There's a cistern over there, and the yard is pretty well lit. Wang Shu does not comment on personal likes and dislikes, but respects the diversity of human beings, "It's filled, it's quite suitable for growing rice." ”

"......" peony was choked by Wang Shu's words and didn't know how to answer it for a long time.

After a long time, he asked: "Xiaojun still knows how to grow rice?" ”

"A little bit." Speaking of this, Wang Shu also lost interest, "I had nothing to do when I was a child, and I have been tinkering in the field for more than ten years. ”

Peony: "......"

After turning around aimlessly, I almost figured out the house. Wang Shu also lost the interest in shopping: "Let's go back." ”

As soon as the two of them left, the door of the small Buddha hall creaked open from the inside.

Mo Sui stretched out his head to look out, and turned his head to look at the master who was sitting cross-legged by the window and talking with Mr. Mu. Bright light shone in through the window, reflecting half of his face. Lush greenery shades the sun, and green shade leaks in through the cracks in the bamboo curtains. Flowing to the white monk's robe, it shows that his face is as white as jade, and his lips are like vermilion.

There was a soft sound of chess, and the slender fingers twisted a white piece and fell, and the face of the old gentleman with gorgeous hair on the opposite side changed. stared at the chessboard for a long time, and sighed like a decadent: "Your Highness has superb chess skills, and you are old and obedient." ”

The young man's eyebrows twitched slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Who's out there? It's a bit of a cramp to listen to the words. Mr. Mu laughed while reminiscing about the taste of the conversation, and slowly stroked his beard and said, "Your Highness won't take a look at the few ladies who entered the mansion yesterday?" ”

When he asked this, no one answered. The eyes of the monk-robed boy were shadowed in the curling green smoke, and the room was very quiet.

After a pause, Mu Zhiyi couldn't help but talk as a cliché: "Your Highness has some scruples, and you can't throw a rat bogey." Heirs are fundamental and must not be delayed. "The old gentleman is also a teacher and friend in Xiao Yanxing, and he has been friends for many years, so there is no need to be taboo when he speaks. But even so, there is still some didacticism in saying this. Almost as soon as he spoke, Mo Sui's heart on the side jumped.

Mo Sui quietly raised his eyes to look at his master, which was also the reason why he deliberately opened the door.

Speaking of which, Xiao Yanxing's emptiness under his knees has become the most worrying problem for his subordinates. In the past few years, rumors about Xiao Yanxing's habit of Longyang and the difficulty of his heirs have become more and more true. Even those who knew the inside story at the beginning are inevitably worried now.

His Royal Highness Guy married the concubine at sixteen, and there was never a shortage of beauties in the back house. Now, four years have passed, and he has never stepped into the back house. Not only did no one go, but the woman was not allowed to cross the line to the front yard to disturb him. The people who served him close to him were either young men or loose-skinned old women, and he had never seen him get close to a young woman.

If you say that those in the Liangzhou Mansion are all people arranged by the palace, they are not at ease when they are waiting. But this time it was Mama Yuan who went to visit one by one and selected people from the local area.

The boy in the monk's robe did not move, and his expression became light.

He was born with a jade and gold appearance, which is very valuable. When you are gentle with people, you will naturally be like a spring breeze. But once the smile between the eyebrows converged, it could be seen that the coldness was alienated.

Picking up a cup of tea in his hand and taking a shallow sip, the three-legged owl kissing and holding the beaded incense burner on the windowsill was curling green smoke.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and the atmosphere became no longer harmonious.

The monk raised his hand, and Mo Sui cautiously came over to collect the chessboard. Seeing this, Mu Zhiyi knew that he was lying today. The master is a corporal of Lixian again, magnanimous. What I said was arrogance. So he got up and made a confession.

Xiao Yanxing was silent for a long time and waved his hand.

Mu Zhiyi's face was relieved, and he retreated softly.

Mo Sui looked at the master with an indifferent expression, and stopped talking several times, but he didn't dare to speak. The master usually does not get angry, but when he does, it is very terrifying. A pair of eyes seem to be able to pierce people, and the eyes are like knives.

He walked around the house a few times, feeling as anxious as a cat's paw.

In fact, others don't know, Mo Sui, who has been by Xiao Yanxing's side for many years, is clear. The reason why his master and son hate women so much is because the people in the Jinluan Hall in Kyoto have done evil. If it weren't for that incident, the little master in the house would have been able to run away a long time ago. But it's been seven or eight years since this happened, and the master now looks no different from ordinary men, why can't he overcome the hurdle in his heart?

"Master," I endured it for a long time, but Mo Sui still couldn't hold back, "Mr. Mu is also kind...... If you can have a little master under your knees, the people below can feel more at ease. Mr. Mu......"

"Silence."

Mo Sui threw himself on his knees.

How could he not know these truths? It's just not that easy to do. The monk-robed man's mouth was pursed into a line, and a layer of ice seemed to be applied to his face. Mo Sui was already so frightened that his face turned white. The head drooped, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.

After a long time, he heard a breath from above, and Mo Sui dared to raise his head quietly.

"Who's talking outside?"

Mo Sui's heart jumped, and his eyes lit up: "Look, my subordinates are going in the direction of Qinghui Garden." There are two little gentlemen living in Qinghui Yuan, and the one who is dressed plainly, is probably the one in the county government. The subordinates will go and ask. ”

Chapter X

Mama Yuan returned to the house after two days, and she was the only one when she came back.

I hurriedly went to change my clothes, and hurriedly went to the outer courtyard to reply.

This time I went to the Liangzhou Mansion, and Mama Yuan was going to inform Concubine Liang Shuyi about the situation of the four Xiaojun's entry into the mansion, and by the way, she took the beauties from Beijing back to Lin'an County. She had only been in Liangzhou for three days, and she hadn't seen the faces of the four beauties, and she received an urgent report at the other end of the station. Mama Yuan suddenly didn't care about this little matter in the back house, and rushed back overnight with the letter.

The matter was urgent, and Mama Jiang entered Hehui Garden, and only came out after half an hour. When he came out, his face was earthy.

I didn't explain anything else, I went back to the house and fell asleep.

Except for those who walk outside for their masters, the people in the backyard are not disturbed. The people in the back house just stared at the second gate, and when they learned that the chief steward had returned, they were all waiting for someone to talk to them.

It was about the afternoon that Mama Yuan woke up. sent the little maid to invite the four new masters to the flower hall of the Mingxiang Pavilion to talk.

Wang Shu had met with Mama Yuan earlier, and it was not right to say so. It's four people, and Mama Yuan has seen it with her own eyes. Compared with Wang Shu and the other three people, Mama Jiang just glanced at it from a distance, and then asked someone to inquire about the girl's style of acting. And Wang Shu's situation is special, she really sat down face-to-face and saw people with her own eyes.

It was probably Wang Shu's astonishing words that day that made a deep impression on Mama Yuan, and she subconsciously had some preferences.

Mama Yuan called a few people over, not to make rules or get off the horse. She is a servant servant, and she relies on the trust of her master to have these errands. It's true that the little gentlemen are concubines, and they are also the women of the master, so they have to be respected.

On the rules of the house, she mentioned two sentences, and divided the reward given by Concubine Liangzhou, and politely sent everyone back.

There are not many things, they are the rewards in the palace, and they can't be bought outside. Wang Shu was a four-person person, and one of them got a few good materials and a few good pieces of jewelry to take back. Except for the poor Zheng family, the few people present are all from rich and noble families. I've seen a lot of good things, but it's not unusual. Wang Shu also knew one thing at this time.

- Although they are said to be concubines, it is not that they cannot go out.

Xiao Mansion is indeed well-behaved, the door is strict, and everything up and down has to talk about the rules and regulations. Fortunately, the serious heroine is not there. Concubine Lin has some weight, but the master didn't speak, so she didn't have the qualifications to discipline the concubine's room. The master is himself, and he is not interested in the back house, these concubines are not even a thing to him, and he doesn't even look at them.

In other words, it is not difficult for them to go out if they want to. As long as you have reported it, you can go out with the permission of your superiors.

This made Wang Shu very happy!

She was still thinking about how to find a chance to sneak out and take out the seeds from her private vault.
