Her stupid father is too easily plotted, and that's not all. Why did Liu Ruhai enter and leave the Hou Mansion?
What does it have to do with the underground river in Eunuch Wang's house?
No way, the Marquis is out of tune and secretly having an affair with the new wife of the Wang family, but Liu Xiaozi is the one?
she thought sinisterly.
She let out a few words, and Mrs. Sun laughed when she heard it, pushing her to stop talking nonsense: Poor Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Lei, it's not easy anymore. If someone talks about her like this behind her back again, can she still live?
Cao Xiwan sneered.
As an old lady of the Royal Guards, she was well aware of the bloody gossip in the houses of nobles and officials. After hearing it too much, she was not afraid to speculate on the conspiracy of the rebels in the most outrageous direction.
Benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust, the propriety of men outside the house, and the rules of ladies and ladies in the house are not believed in the circle of spies in the capital.
Mrs. Sun opened the small package she brought and found out that she had made a snow-white sleeping rabbit for her.
She was delighted to see that the warm rabbit fur was inlaid with a pearl. The buttons at both ends were silver buckles. The seam had a double-bridged streak pattern.
"It's so beautiful." She put it on with a smile, took a look in the mirror, and felt that she looked like a lady. Then she smiled proudly, "My wife has more than twenty sleeping rabbits in winter, and in autumn there is also a box of various beaded wipes.
Er, in my opinion, no matter how good Wenxue's craftsmanship is, it can't compare to you, Mrs. Sun."
Mrs. Sun was also happy to hear this. Not long after Wenxue entered the Marquis Mansion, she became famous for her excellent embroidery skills.
Even she heard about it, so she thought of making one and giving it to Mrs. Cao.
Mrs. Sun always thought that she looked like a little girl from the neighborhood, and she loved her needlework skills the most. She didn't look like the Qingluo female ghost who was determined to kill and lay down in anger as her husband said.
At first, her husband repeatedly reminded her not to offend Mrs. Cao.
Later, the husband seemed to have noticed something, so he said that the husband and wife had their own affairs, and he recognized the Qingluo female ghost, and she recognized the Lady Cao.
My husband, Master Tong, said, "Ms. Cao, I'm afraid she likes your caring temperament."
Cao Xiwan really liked the gentle and attentive Mrs. Sun. In fact, she also liked to socialize with ordinary ladies. She took Mrs. Sun's hand and whispered: "Don't worry, Mr. Tong, I will definitely let him get his wish. Wait a minute.
.”
Mrs. Sun was extremely happy. She knew about her husband's future, but she was still keeping an eye on it.
"He doesn't distrust Madam. He just heard that the Sixth Young Master's errands are still being delayed. He is afraid that Madam begging the Marquis too much for his affairs will make the Second Master unhappy. Besides, the Fifth Master is also——"
Cao Xiwan pursed her lips and smiled, then winked, and Mrs. Sun understood and remained silent.
The Marquis had no legitimate son, and he inherited the title from a concubine. Naturally, he had other considerations for his second concubine's legitimate son, Song Weiren.
The sixth son, Song Weiren, was the sixth among the grandchildren of the Hou family.
On the Fifth Master's side, I heard that a group of relatives also wanted to find a job in Jinyi Yamen.
The Marquis did not respond.
Cao Xiwan and the Sixth Young Master were quite close, and she had received gifts from the Sixth Young Master for this errand.
Sanxi is the young master in front of Sixth Young Master. If this boy bumps into her now in the house, he will call her godmother.
Yanzhi heard this once and laughed and said that her godson kept calling her old and stupid.
In the evening, the snow in front of Huichun Hall was getting heavier. She saw that Mrs. Sun was also riding a donkey, and a man from the donkey and horse shop was leading the donkey. She was not at ease after all. She asked Mao Ergou to follow the donkey and send Mrs. Sun back.
"I don't care." She smiled at Mrs. Sun and said to Mao Ergou, "On the way from the Hou Mansion to here, there is a Qianhu Yamen and two Baihu Yamen. Shi Qianhu bet in the underground gambling bureau
I have practiced magic skills in seclusion, and Zhu Baihu is an old man who went out to patrol the city. Zhang Baihu's wife is married to the cousin of our second company. If I call for help, they will at least open the door and take a look.
If that’s not the case, I won’t go out this way.”
Mao Ergou burst into laughter upon hearing this. Knowing that she had a plan in mind, he turned around and followed the Sun family's donkey.
When the drug store was closed, she arranged for a night watchman to ride on the donkey alone.
As soon as she sat down on the donkey's back, she saw a person standing outside the shop under the snowy eaves across the street.
It turned out to be Liu Ruhai.
He was holding a black umbrella, like an ink painting of a winter scene, with the umbrella slanting and scattered in the snow.
The lanterns were like fireflies, and the flying snow was like the sea. He held an umbrella and stepped forward, holding her donkey's head: "It's cadaver syndrome. Let's make a bet."
"...what to bet on?"
"Open a shop together, 28."
Is this considered a bet? Hasn’t this person ever gambled money?
"...If I win, you work for me. I am the boss." She thought, Liu Xiaozi would definitely lose. Of course she couldn't let go of this opportunity, Liu Xiaozi is a money tree, "I will give you this amount of money every month.
.”
She compared the numbers generously. Liu Ruhai smiled lowly and raised his eyebrows: "What if you lose?"
"Twenty-eight." She simply agreed. He was two and she was eight.
Liu Ruhai actually didn't scold her for being shameless, but said, "The shop is at the Yamen Gate?"
She was startled, this guy saw that she wanted to open a medicine shop in front of Jinyi Yamen.
He smiled and said, "I do have a suitable shop. I will be the proprietor, and Mrs. Cao will help introduce customers. It's 50-50." He said loudly, with the same generous look on his face, "I don't mind being...
Use it as a cover for Qing Niangzi to open a medicine shop."
Five-five? She was calm and not so angry that she fell off the donkey's back.
She endured it and did not spit at him: "Don't bother, I'll take care of the shop."
Liu Ruhai expected that she would not be able to find a shop, and he did not care about her now.
They raised their hands and high-fived each other. When she urged the donkey to leave, he kindly added: "Don't go to the young master's Huaiyuan for at least a year."
When she heard this, she frowned slightly, rode a donkey, and walked in the snow.
There is still an afterimage of snow light on the horizon.
People coming and going, holding lanterns in their hands, were dizzy in the snow.
The young master's illness is gradually getting better. Even Mrs. Hou also rewarded Liu Ruhai with many things.
She thought, don't go to Huaiyuan for a year. What does this mean? The young master may have been poisoned with corpse poison. She heard this from Mother Luo. He can only be a traitor.
But whether she went to Huaiyuan or not, it couldn't be her. Could it be that the poison was still in the courtyard and she would be poisoned if she entered?
I saw her walking away in the snow, Liu Ruhai holding an umbrella and holding a lantern, a light golden halo in the snow wind, standing on the street.
A shadow appeared in the snow and asked in a low voice: "Is she useless?"
Liu Ruhai looked sideways, and saw Yang Pingcui of Cuiping Village, Wanjianmen, standing in the snow. He was eight feet tall, wearing felt clothes with his hair tied up, and a knife on his back.
Every time Liu Ruhai sees Master Yang, he always thinks, how can he disguise himself as a woman even if he looks like this? Isn't it true that all the Jin Yi Guardsmen who patrol the city are blind?
