The Marquis is very proud of himself and is planning a happy event. He won't do anything to her family for the time being, but the Marquis may have made a mistake and something big happened. In the past, Zhan Baidao sneaked in like this and became the Marquis's stand-in. He stole Jin Yiwei's clothes.
Secret, and killed several of the Marquis's confidants.
She thought to herself that she would never make such an oversight again.
On the Chunbo Corridor, willow silk was like rain, and the breeze was slightly cool. She wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, and quickly took the fan he handed her: "Thank you. I will give you a new one later." She folded it while shaking it.
Fan, meandering towards the inner house.
Manager Fan in the old lady's room?
She recognized that he was the brother of Mrs. Fan, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family. He was in charge of the carriages and horses in the old lady's room. Her parents were familiar with him.
Cao Xiwan thought, just go back. Anyway, Yang Pingcui wants to spend money to buy Yuyi, and there has been no news in the past few days.
She poked her head around the rooms in the old lady's room along the corridor, and sure enough she saw her father, Manager Fan and several other minor stewards talking in front of Manager Zhou in the small hall.
She stood outside on the porch and listened to a few words through the window, and then she realized that they were talking about the old lady's trip. Manager Zhou felt that the weather was too hot. The old lady's body couldn't bear it, so he wanted to persuade the old lady to postpone it until autumn.
"But it's not up to us to have the final say. It depends on what the Prince's Mansion and the Eldest Princess's Mansion say."
The stewards were discussing.
She thought for a while, then went back to her room and rummaged through the cabinet to get two new fans made by the palace. Just when she heard that Xiliu had won a reward from his wife, she went over and snatched an unused new fan from Xiliu that his wife had given him as a dowry.
They packed the box together. Xiliu was so angry that she cursed.
"I gave it to Dr. Liu."
"..." Lou Xiliu was startled and endured it.
She smiled and sent the return gift to Luoyuan in the evening.
"What's the matter?" Liu Ruhai came out to see her after taking a bath. She was eating grape fruits and talking with Song Bi. Song Bi, who was standing, suddenly fell limply on the chair. Liu Ruhai was startled, and she covered her mouth and kept laughing.
"...Don't use it indiscriminately." He couldn't laugh or cry.
She smiled and stretched out her hand to push Songbi to wake her up. She just used the Eighteen Ecstasy postures again.
Liu Ruhai was shocked, thinking that she had discovered that Song Bi had fallen under his hypnotic spell.
When the host and guest sat down, she did always feel that the pine wall was a bit strange, but she tried again and again and found nothing special. She gave a return gift and thanked her politely, and then carefully told Liu Ruhai: "Master Yang, he should know that
I don’t have Baitiao Yuyi’s things in my hands, right? Have you told him?”
"That's right. I've made peace with you in the middle. He won't be hard on you." Liu Ruhai originally wanted to spend one hundred thousand taels to buy it, lest the two of them fight to the death and he would be caught in the middle.
.But he saw Yuyi in the East Palace with his own eyes. After Yang Pingcui knew about it, he gave up.
After saying that, he put down the tea, opened the box and took out a Xingong fan. The fan had a colorful painting of green sparrows picking fresh yellow loquats. He was also surprised to see another exquisite sandalwood fan with a black gauze surface. He opened it and looked at it carefully.
, the double veil embroidery is the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, she quickly said: "It's a men's style. It can be used by both men and women."
It was indeed a beautiful men's fan, so she snatched it as a gift.
"Mrs. Hou's?"
She was surprised, and when she looked at the double-sided embroidery, she knew it was the embroidery that he could see.
This double-sided embroidery is embroidered by my mother-in-law.
She remembered that Pi Niang was an embroiderer who had just become famous in Guanshan in the past two years.
Sure enough, Liu Ruhai looked at her with a smile, "Her embroidery is not famous, but it is interesting."
If Madam Hou Lou Shuluan hadn't liked her embroidery, it stands to reason that the Marquis Mansion of Nankang would not have such things.
"Okay, Xiliu asked me to forward it to you." She said casually, originally intending to remember her favor.
He laughed dumbly, shook his fan, and said with a smile, "Master Yang is a great man in Guan and Shaanxi. He has a great family and a great business. He is not the one you have to worry about."
Cao Xiwan looked at him and smiled. He was a shrewd spy. He sensed the problem.
Someone must have found an excuse to deliberately talk about her parents in front of the old lady, in order to lure her parents back and take advantage of them.
"So be it."
She thought, when the soldiers come, they will be blocked, but when the water comes, the earth will cover them up.
A fight to the death.
In the hot summer, Aunt Wu was very nervous as soon as she entered the Hou Mansion.
"sit."
The second manager Lien asked the couple to sit down. Even Aunt Wu knew that the most arrogant manager in the house was Liancheng.
In the corridor behind the second-door flower hall, the green bamboo curtains were hung, and the open space outside the curtains on all four sides was splashed with well water.
There is a slight cool breeze.
Unexpectedly, she heard that the second manager Lian Er was talking to her about the denaturalization documents. But her daughter had already given her a set of denaturalization documents. She kept it with her.
Just as my daughter said, she would never leave her body or show it to outsiders. It was hidden in the pocket of her inner skirt, and the pocket was sewn shut by her.
What is this set of documents from Manager Lian Er?
Liancheng drank tea and slowly considered how to speak. He didn't know that Cao Xiwan had secretly made a set of deregistration documents and had long since deregistered. She also expected that now that the Marquis would do this for her, he would definitely do it.
He won't be happy and he won't rush the second manager.
Liancheng was just slow to delay. After all, Lord Hou had crossed the road in front of Mrs. Hou and asked Cao Xiwan to leave the house. This was actually to find an excuse to enter the house as a concubine with good status.
Mrs. Wu is an honest boss, and Mr. Cao is a confused father. Liancheng told the Marquis that he asked them to deregister, and that this matter would be done at the prefect's Yamen. It could take half a year at the earliest, or one or two years at the slowest time.
"Yes, thank you, second manager." Upon hearing this, Father Cao felt that he could not do without him in the house, "The old lady's affairs are my duty."
"Until it's done, you're still in the house. You still have to go around."
"Yes, second manager." Although Aunt Wu was uneasy, she was also happy. She had sold out several boxes of groceries in Shunyifang and saved a fortune, but she had no family to spend it on her behalf. "I'm not on duty, and I don't know what I'm doing."
What can we do? Xiaowan was in the house, so we came back. Xiaowan used to say that there were enemies and asked us not to leave the Hou's house. Now she said that the enemies would not come to seek revenge. We thought we could go back to live in the back alley.
"
"It's cheaper to live in the mansion." Manager Lian Er waved his hand, "If Xiao Wan asks, please tell her clearly so that she won't think too much about it."
Cao Xiwan didn't know how to ask her parents. She mostly inquired in secret.
She came out of Liu Ruhai's courtyard and saw that it was getting late, so she left the house to visit the house and went to the house of Manager Zhou Da.
She went to the back garden and talked with Liu Ying'er, asking her what month and when she would give birth. Her cousin Ting Niang accompanied Liu Ying'er every day, visiting the garden and making children's clothes. She had the same food, clothing, housing and transportation as Liu Ying'er.
However, she felt very comfortable. Ting Niang whispered to Cao Xiwan: "Cousin, you didn't ask me, but I asked a few questions. I heard that it was Su Cai's wife who mentioned this matter to the old lady."
The Su family's aunt? She was surprised. Baogai's mother? She was a confidant of the second wife's wife. Her whole family had nothing to do with Jinyi Yamen and only served in the inner house.
"Xu is doing the dowry for Lady Jia Shu." Ting Niang was at Zhou's house and knew everything about the rooms in the Hou's house. "Xu is the wife in the second room. Thinking of your hard work, cousin, I want to let my aunt
It's more respectable to talk to my uncle. That's why I asked her to talk to the old lady."
What Ting Niang said is not unreasonable. Cao Xiwan pondered.
The members of the Su Cai family are moving around the rooms very diligently these days because of Lady Jia Shu’s marriage.
Manager Lian would bump into her from time to time. He would just nod and go their separate ways. Manager Lian naturally didn't raise any suspicion.
Outside study room.
The plum trees are shady and the green color is cool.
Behind the green screen window, Song Chengming came back from the Yamen, changed into a snow-colored crepe shirt, tied with a royal blue ribbon, and was eating wine chilled with well water.
Manager Lian Er relayed the information about the Cao family and his wife to Song Chengming, and said truthfully: "Her parents are actually unwilling to leave. After all, the Cao family has no relatives, and the Wu family relatives cannot be on the stage, and they have been taught a lesson by Qing Niangzi several times."
"How much did her three uncles charge?"
"I have collected money from four royal palaces. Two old people in the palace, I heard that even one of the neighbors of my second uncle also collected money. After being beaten a few times and imprisoned two of them, the young lady did not dare to spread the news."
.But the money is still being collected quietly.”
Marquis Nankang nodded slightly and ignored it.
"Let's wait until the prince comes to the capital. She didn't like it last time, so she built another house near the Prince Qin's mansion."
Even the second manager will understand.
The Marquis was busy entering the palace to accompany him, dealing with the big guys, and he still had to cultivate twenty-four fans, and Lou Xiliu had just reached the fourth level.
Let's keep the Cao family for the time being. It may not be impossible to send Cao Xiwan to serve as a female official in the Prince of Qin's palace.
