She stopped inside the corner gate of the Marquis Mansion, looking up at the snow on the branches.
The jade plum blossoms are covered with snow, and above the plum blossoms is a gray sky.
She rubbed her hands and thought deeply. Doctors like Liu Ruhai said that the second master's illness was just a cover-up, so I'm afraid it was true.
But if it’s not Mr. Hou who is sick, then who is it?
She had gone to every room to inquire about the situation, but there were no patients in the house.
As for the winter illness of the second master's biological mother-in-law, it is a long-standing problem. The second master invites a doctor every year, so there is no need for the marquis to come forward personally.
"Xiao Wan?"
"mother."
She turned around and saw Aunt Wu and Father Cao entering the house from the corner door one after another to go on duty. She checked her parents' clothes and the stove, and told her father not to skip work and her mother not to be bullied. She then
The path turns towards the main hall.
This time she also went to the small flower hall next to the general account room of the second gate to salute the second manager and say hello.
"The young lady is here."
There is only a plum grove between the flower hall of the outer house and the outer study. In the corridor, Liancheng saw her figure early and couldn't help but say hello. Several stewards who were chatting and having tea with them quickly stood up, lowered their hands, and left.
She walked in.
On the way just now, she looked around and saw that the patrols of the Security Department were still the same as before.
Qin Meng is a quick and easy guy.
If she wants to steal the Buddha statue, she will naturally be in trouble.
If she had known earlier, when she arranged the patrol route, she would have avoided the warehouse at the east end. Mrs. Hou's dowry is now kept there.
The charcoal basin was bright red. Liancheng stood up with a smile and called for tea.
She took off her cloak.
Manager Lian Er is a confidant of the Marquis, just like her father is a close person to the eldest master, like a book boy.
He had always taken care of the affairs when the Marquis went out to the Yamen, and he used to be her unknown boss.
Now that she was transferred to the inner house, she couldn't leave the second manager aside. After all, she still had to get the free salary from Jinyi Yamen. During the New Year, there were always several loads of rice, noodles, fish and meat distributed by the Yamen, and she also had to get it.
The second manager was a good person and was very polite to a loser like her.
Thanks to her sharp eyesight, she managed Liancheng early, and she understands the ways of the world and courtesy.
"Sit down quickly. It's warm here. Someone, please close the window."
The four windows of the corridor were closed, and she sat down on the leather chair.
The second manager, Lian Er, let her eat the new autumn tea and informed her that Qin Meng and Qin Baihu accepted her duties in the study outside and kept vigil for the Marquis. He said:
"If something happens, Qin Baihu may ask Madam Qing for advice. You might as well come here more often during these days." Liancheng said politely, "The Guardian Guard has transferred a lot of new people. You can help him make arrangements.
.Stop messing up."
"Second manager, don't worry." She naturally agreed.
She was only thinking about how the Marquis asked her in the study last time if she would like to marry Qin Meng.
If she is willing, she will be married as a child.
In a few years, Qin Meng was promoted to the rank of Thousand Households. Her imperial edict was also promoted, all because of a word from the Marquis.
She had expected that the Marquis would ask Qin Meng to take over her original job of keeping vigil in the study.
Traditionally, the Jin Yiwei who were transferred from outside did not understand the rules of the house as well as she did, so they were all in charge of her. If Qin Meng and her became husband and wife, it would naturally be safe.
But although she didn't hate Qin Meng, she didn't want to get married.
If she hadn't said goodbye, she would have known that Qin Meng would fall out with Su Jintian sooner or later.
She also only has two friends.
Chen Ming, a medical ghost.
A Su Jintian.
Granny Song and Mama Luo were older than her. Although they liked her in their hearts, they would not say it out loud. On the other hand, Chen Ming and Su Jintian were young and arrogant. They dared to cut off their heads with a knife while talking and laughing, and sent them to their friends and confidants.
.
She drank half a cup of tea, put on a warm cloak, bowed and left, and the light snow was flying in the sky outside the porch.
Sure enough, she saw a mass of autumn colors on the painted green corridor, an autumn-colored flying fish suit that was still clear and bright in the winter snow, and two swords at her waist.
It's Qin Meng.
She thought that her temperament and appearance were as clear as the howling wind, but they made her feel as clear and pure as autumn water.
Qin Meng is a serious person.
It is different from Liu Shusheng.
"...I've met Qing Niangzi."
"I don't dare, Mr. Qin." She smiled and saluted, glancing at the two swords at his waist.
This one is also a swordsman. In the past, Su Jintian was unconvinced by the sword master Fengling, but now Qin Meng is just as eager to try Su Jintian, the new best swordsman in the world.
She thought that in the long streets of Jinling and under the moonlight in Qinhuai, sooner or later there would be a battle of life and death.
"Don't worry, Master Qin. Mother Luo has stayed in Tang Guogong's mansion. With her here and the second manager's guidance, Qin Baihu's arrangements will be safe."
She said a few words of humility.
They were talking about the shifts of the Jinyi Guards patrolling the inner residence of the Marquis Mansion.
The Jinyiwei guard was not a domestic slave, and it was not convenient for him to enter the inner house. However, Song Chengming had been operating in Jinyiwei for many years and was promoted to deputy governor. Regardless of old and new grudges, there were countless people who wanted to assassinate him.
He has four bodyguards with him.
Even when they went to Mrs. Hou's room, they followed her.
"Mama Luo and Granny Song have no inconvenience in entering and exiting the inner house. Father Chen is old and he practices boy skills." She explained the choices of the four guards one by one, "Master Qin, you are different from others.
"
Qin Meng is a lay disciple who was born in a monastery. He has a Buddhist name, Yuan Guang.
Qin Meng stopped talking, cupped his hands and nodded.
She smiled. It was she who recommended Qin Meng to replace her in front of the second manager. The reason was that when she was injured once, Qin Meng said that she was too murderous and had an uncoordinated mind, and asked her to read and copy the "Medicine King Sutra" more. The result.
, she is obsessed with Buddhist scriptures and even goes to work in a Buddhist temple, which seems a bit silly.
"I feel much calmer recently. Thank you, Mr. Qin." She was on the porch, tithing.
"Young Lady, you have wisdom." Qin Meng's eyes were filled with joy and he clasped his palms together.
Vajra's angry eyes are also compassionate.
She smiled and nodded, said goodbye to Qin Meng, and slowly walked towards the inner house.
Luo's mother had told her before that Qin Meng had a cheerful temperament, but she didn't see it. He had always been so reserved in front of her.
The wintersweet blossoms outside the corridor are blooming like yellow clouds, and the fragrance is lingering in the cold weather.
She looked back at the corridor outside the second door. Qin Meng was still stopping there, as if waiting for someone.
She thought to herself that Qin Meng didn't ask the inner house guards how to rearrange them.
It seems that something is wrong with the new favorite Xiliu, but it is not a big deal. The Marquis should still live as before, living only in the outer study and the main room.
Otherwise, Qin Meng would have to ask her how to arrange inspections in the concubine's courtyard. After all, it was the inner chamber.
So the Marquis has taken a fancy to Xiliu. But he hasn’t gone to her room to rest yet?
She guessed it and couldn't help but be suspicious. Why is the Marquis so heartless and heartless?
How many years has Mrs. Lou waited for him?
She sighed deeply, the Marquis could not even fight a hundred swords.
When Zhan Baidao finally deceived her, he didn't dare to flirt with other women.
Not to mention, she asked Qin Meng: "Is the rumor in the house the order of the Marquis?"
Qin Meng was also silent.
With Liancheng in front of her and Qin Meng behind her, she decided on ten points.
