Section 9: Boudoir Show

Back in the West Courtyard, Ren Tianqi chatted with several righteous brothers again, commenting on Yingguiquan's personality and martial arts, and praised Yingguiquan Although he holds the military power as a prince, he can be so considerate of the people, benevolent to the people, and can be dutiful, broad-minded, and the future will be immeasurable.

Because of the concern of the county lord and others, Ren Tianqi sat for a while and went upstairs.

Dongxue and Chun Tao are learning to do acupuncture outside.

The big county lord of Dongxue is four months old, growing up in the palace since he was a child, getting along with the county lord day and night, and always taking care of the county lord like a sister. Dongxue is simple, diligent, and meticulous, which is deeply appreciated by the prince and princess, and trusted by the county lord. Therefore, all the things of the county lord are called Dongxue's responsibility. Dongxue is indeed capable, and everything is handled properly and decently, and if it lives up to everyone's expectations, it will benefit from the importance and reuse of the palace. Before going south with the county lord this time, the prince and the princess told Dongxue in front of the county lord to take care of the county lord like a sister in the future, and instructed the county lord to go south and wait for the county lord to take Dongxue as a concubine after the marriage was completed, and the county lord also readily agreed on the spot. Dongxue is grateful for his pet, so he takes care of the county lord more than ever and is devoted to Ren Tianqi.

Dongxue got up in the morning and practiced the "Eighteen Styles of Slender Hands and Self-Defense" created by a thousand-handed scholar, and practiced the Ren family Hanmei Sword, turned back to serve the county lord and got up and washed up, and accompanied him to see the old lady, and came back to sit down to drink tea to quench his thirst.

Chun Taohuo ran over in a hurry, took a gown in his hand, and shouted: "Eldest sister, eldest sister, the master's underwear is torn, is it better to throw it away, or not to throw it away?"

Dongxue didn't make a sound, reached out to take the clothes, and took a look, it turned out that it was only the seam between the shoulders that fell off. If this was originally in the palace, although there were often broken dresses, but there were quite a lot of old women and sons in the palace, and some people had already been flattered to snatch them to be sewn up; But at present, Ren Jiabao is not as good as the king's mansion, and there are more adults in the family, and the expenses will not be less. Although the county lord said that the marriage was not thin, he would still sit and eat empty mountains after all, and this folk still has to be a long stream. Dongxue grabbed the Yishan in her thoughts, and couldn't help but sniff it.

Chun Tao saw that Dongxue had been silent, her eyes were in a daze, and she hugged her master's clothes with a panicked expression, knowing that Dongxue was worried about her father. Everyone has been sharing weal and woe with the master for several months, getting along day and night, although Ren Tianqi said that he was silent, but he never regarded everyone as a subordinate, and he also asked for warmth and warmth, taught kung fu, and never divided each other's thick and thin; after arriving in Guangling, he knew that the young master was also an official eunuch family, and the family had a big business, and he was happy in his heart; yesterday, he said that the county lord and the face of the master clearly said that he wanted the master to accept four people as concubines, who had not been moved, and the spring heart was uneasy, and it must be normal to miss the master, who among the four did not want that day to come early.

Chun Tao was kind and accommodating, and she was still close to Dongxue, so she stepped forward and snatched her shirt, and said with a smile: "The little one has seen the second grandmother, do you miss him?"

Dongxue woke up when she heard this, especially the word "second grandmother" was particularly harsh. Winter Snow Powder's face turned red, he looked up and saw that there was no one around, got up and pinched the spring peach, and scolded: "You are a prodigal hoof, who doesn't know that you are the most profligate character among the four of us!

Chun Tao, who said the central thought, also blushed and stopped talking, just blindly dodging and begging for mercy.

The two girls are combined, and the sewing and mending will still be done by themselves in the future. The two of them were sewing clothes and doing some other needle work outside, and when they saw Ren Tianqi coming upstairs, they didn't feel blushing and panicked; they were busy peeking at each other in private, pursing their lips and smiling at each other; the two smiled at each other and hurriedly got up to salute.

Ren Tianqi smiled and said, "Where are the two sisters busy?"

Dong Xue smiled: "Hey, the master is back, we are making up a thread!"

Ren Tianqi looked at Dongxue approvingly, pointed inside, opened his mouth but didn't make a sound.

Dong Xue put down the needlework in her hand and said with a smile: "The lord is in charge of it, the county lord is reading!"

Ren Tianqi turned around and entered the room, saw the long sword on the table, turned around and said with a smile: "Sisters, don't waste your fist and sword kung fu, rest for a while now, and when your body recovers, you still have to practice diligently!"

Chun Tao said with a smile: "I know the master, the little ones will start practicing today, and the master will go in, and the county lord will also come out three times!"

The county lord was half-lying on the couch reading a book, and a wool shawl was covered on his leg. Xia He was eating fruit in his mouth, chatting with Qiu Yue without a word. Autumn Moon was fiddling with the stove with her head down.

When the three of them saw Ren Tianqi coming in, they hurriedly got up to salute.

Ren Tianqi hurriedly waved his hand to stop, and said with a smile: "I don't need so many courtesies when I get to our West Courtyard, I'll be busy with you, I'll come up and have a cup of tea, and I'll show you two things!"

Ren Tianqi took out the jade pendant and the red ring and handed them to the county lord, and sat down at the county lord's feet.

The county lord pushed his teacup forward.

Qiu Yue handed over the copper kettle, Xia He brought a pot of Sydney, and the two of them stood aside with their hands down, both of them stretched out their heads to look at the two jade pieces.

Ren Tianqi took a sip of tea, ate a pear, held a kettle, and said with a smile: "It's a meeting gift from the two seniors, and it's a little more valuable." Fang ate and watched the uncle and the Ying adults who came to the village to test their swordsmanship and internal skills, which was very exciting. I didn't expect the uncle's swordsmanship to be so clever!"

"How is it than the master?" the county lord pinched a piece of Sydney into the mouth of the sedan lang, ignored the two pieces of jade, and looked up and smiled.

"Uncle swordsmanship is good, and light skills are also good, but the internal strength and concentration are not enough, and he takes victory and defeat too seriously, and he still needs to be honed!" Ren Tianqi took off his boots again, stretched out his feet on the stove and roasted, and said: "It's going to snow, don't worry, come and sit for a while." The county lord is still used to being here?" Ren Tianqi looked up at the county lord.

The county lord raised his head and thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's okay, take your time, it's just that you can't go out at home and panic, it stands to reason that your home is much more comfortable and leisurely than in the palace, and no one cares!"

Ren Tianqi smiled and said: "If you want to go out, it's easy to do, it's not convenient to go out during the day, let's go out at night and take a look at the surrounding countryside, the rural scene of southern Yangzhou!"

The county lord and the girls were shocked, and the county lord was quite surprised, and nodded hurriedly, with a happy face.

The county lord sat upright, asked Xia He to peel two more pears, took the copper kettle in Ren Tianqi's hand and held it, and said to Ren Tianqi: "Brother Qi, I've been thinking about something these days, and I'm just trying to talk to my lord, I don't know what my lord wants, I don't know if I'm free today?"

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "The county lord must not have any scruples. I have read little since I was a child, I don't know how to count etiquette, and I am not good at speaking, if there is any neglect and inconsideration, the county lord must tell the truth, and you must not behave yourself! If you have something to say, you can tell what you want!"

The county lord smiled heartily: "That's natural, since we have become mandarin duck treasures, we shouldn't have two hearts." I am thinking about returning to Guangling, and some things should be planned as soon as possible. Today, Dongxue Chun Tao is doing needlework outside, although the matter is small, but it is also very far-sighted, this matter could have been handed over to the people outside the door to do, but I did not stop it. Needlework is small, self-reliance is big, and everything is still good for yourself. Xia He, also ask the two of them to come in and listen, and everyone should think about family affairs together!" the county lord raised his head and commanded.

Ren Tianqi, Xia He, and Qiuyue were ashamed, they didn't sit upright, but the county lord was calm, dignified and steady, and couldn't see the slightest pretense, or cynicism, Fang knew that the county lord was not talking about fun, so he put away his smile.

The four women stood aside.

The county lord coughed and said softly: "They are all people in the same room, and no one can get out of this time." Now our grandfather is also here, there are some things that need to be talked to everyone, and we have to ask our master to take a proposition!"

The four maids hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's all up to the county lord and the lord to decide, and the slaves and maids must do it!"

Ren Tianqi nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, the county lord's arrangement is, and the lord agrees with both hands!"

The county lord smiled: "Hey, I said that you are not together yet, so you sang and harmonized, will there be a place for me to talk in the future?

Ren Tianqi's five faces were red-faced, and they were embarrassed.

The four maids were furious, but Ren Tianqi was ashamed, and opened her mouth to argue: "County, county lord, I, also, I don't mean anything, you, you must not misunderstand!"

The county lord covered his mouth and smiled, and said: "Brother Qi, you have also shocked the Black Water Desert, and you are a man who stands up to the sky and the earth. How can you not even make such a joke!" Although the county lord said this, his heart was very sweet, and he couldn't help but look at Tan Lang with shame and affection.

"Well, there are a few things that must be chartered right now. The first thing is that everyone will have to change the number of etiquette they wear in the future, try to be no different from the Han people in the Central Plains, be less showy, and cause less trouble, first, not to give outsiders a rumor, and give people a handle, after all, the Song and Jin Dynasty are not in harmony, the identity of the county lord, and the dress of the Jin people are too conspicuous;

Ren Tianqi nodded again and again, admiring his beloved wife's foresight and open-mindedness.

"In the future, we will call each other Miss, Second Master or Master, how about it?" the county lord smiled.

Everyone nodded.

"These two things, to get along well with the people who are divided in the courtyard, mother-in-law, and girls, must not distinguish between far and near, and there is no beating and scolding; ”

The four maids were silent, Ren Tianqi nodded, and said with a smile: "It should be!"

"This is a very important thing, but I am not the only one who can be the winner. First of all, it is not a way to put the treasures and money in the bedroom, and you can't always work hard to keep the deer uncle in front of you, and you have to find a proper place to hide it, and the amount of silver in Suzhou must also be retrieved as soon as possible to prevent things from happening. The county lord glanced up at everyone and coughed lightly.

Ren Tianqi was no longer only admiring his beloved wife, but also ecstatic, unexpectedly, the county lord had such a far-sighted vision under his generosity and generosity, and he was careful and thoughtful, and he sighed to himself, it was really a woman who did not let her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "This county lord can rest assured, I have already told my second brother that I want to build a secret room, and he is an expert in this, but I can't think of where it is more appropriate to build it for a while!"

The county lord said with a smile: "If you have to be implicated in this proper place, it is not a problem for the four righteous brothers to live in the West Courtyard temporarily, but they will not be comfortable living in the same mansion with the old man for a long time, and they will be restrained everywhere, and I am afraid that if they are born for a long time, they will also hurt each other's friendship!"

Ren Tianqi scratched his head, looked sad, and said: "This is a big deal! The four righteous brothers treat me like a father and son, and they are very affectionate, and they are indeed unbearable." The county lord is right, the four righteous brothers are used to being free, and they will definitely get sick if they don't worry about living here for a long time!"

Xia He rushed to speak: "What kind of illness will it be, and the martial arts of several masters will be so high that they will get sick?"

Ren Tianqi smiled bitterly when he heard this: "You don't understand, once a person is not open-minded enough and depressed for a long time, his body will give birth to all kinds of strange diseases, even if it is a heart disease, it is difficult to say!" Ren Tianqi looked up at the county lord again, and hesitated: "Unless, unless we find another place to build another house, and take the name of Juxianzhuang in the name of the five brothers?"

The county lord nodded and said, "I have also thought so, this may be the fundamental way to solve the matter." Let me come forward to build a house, and let the righteous brothers be the masters of a house. We are not competitive people, nor are we estranged from the village, but we are just planning another place for us to live in;

Everyone nodded yes, and they doubted whether the county lord was still the county lord who lived in the palace in his eyes, was carefree, and did not care about the hardships of life and was not burdened by life.

Ren Tianqi said: "We and the uncle, sooner or later, we will divide the family property, just like the family castle was divided into two twenty years ago, but this should be a hundred years after the old man and the old lady." Uncle is an official in the court, and his surname is thick, and he will not worry about me, and I know it, but my sister-in-law is shrewd, and she comes from the family of the Central Plains official eunuch, and she has been contaminated with the habit of intrigue in officialdom since she was a child, and we have a surname that has no quarrel with the world. What the county lord said just now is not unreasonable, and you should change to wear Hanfu and be considerate of your subordinates. I will continue to buy some family members in the future to add to the confidants. The family often does miscellaneous work, and Uncle Ming Quan takes care of it, and the four sisters such as you are not only taking care of the county lord, but also practicing sword boxing diligently. Those of us who have always walked the rivers and lakes do not seek to be famous, but only to protect ourselves by fitness. What I can't decide is that I have been drifting outside for so many years, achieving nothing, and I feel that I have no skills, although the county lord is rich in marriage and does not worry about his livelihood, a good man should also stand up as soon as possible. I think about it, I can't be wrong with the truth that this heaven rewards hard work, but after the old lady is born, I plan to do something, and I also think about it these days, but I don't know where to start thinking about it for a while!"

The county lord's eyes overflowed with tears, and the four maids looked at the master in a daze.

Everyone knows that Ren Tianqi is quiet and not very eloquent, but they didn't expect Ren Tianqi to know and tolerate the world's affairs. Especially in the past seven years of going out to learn art, endure thousands of hardships, through the vicissitudes of the world, their hearts are extremely bitter, but they don't want to confide in others; they know more than others, and they know more than others, and they know the fragile and sensitive heart under the calm surface of the lord; the lord has no quarrel with the world, his heart is calm, and he has long lost the pride and ambition of the official eunuch's house and the flying majesty, which is also where Lu Qian, a scholar with a thousand hands, and the four of the black and white eagles are willing to be with Ren Tianqi after the disaster。

The county lord said with a smile: "In the past, my father often said that if I was not born in the emperor's house, what I wanted to do most was a wide distribution pharmacy, a pair of cloth shoes, a bamboo cane, and a hanging pot to go to the world, saving the people from illness and suffering, comfortable and real;

Ren Tianqi lowered his head and muttered: "Medicine Hall, hanging the pot to help the world is a good idea." The second brother is proficient in medicine, and there are medicine books in the scrolls given by Nangong's predecessors, which is not a difficult thing; but in this world, the four kingdoms of Jin, Song, Xia, and Liao are at war, and it is rare to be peaceful, how can there be a paradise in the world to live in? How can Yilangzhong survive?"

The county lord saw that Tan Lang was sentimental again, and hurriedly quipped: "Whatever, if you choose a place to build a hospital, where is it better, Shangjing, Nanjing, Yangzhou, Jiankang, Pengcheng or Lin'an?"

"Go to Beijing. "Nanjing", "Yangzhou, Yangzhou"------。

Ren Tianqi ignored the gossip of the women, pinched a piece of Sydney, and ate it slowly---------。
