By Jia Xiuzhen

Gui Liu's body is for self-cultivation, so she doesn't need to sleep, so she is also meditating at the moment.Thinking of this place is so strange, completely different from the original memory.Why should there be three suns, but there is only one alone.There are no well-known monsters who practice the devil way, and there are practitioners everywhere but they don't specialize in cultivation, and they are only busy with unimportant things.One does not practice qi and cultivates the mind, but only focuses on foreign things. I really don't know what it is like to be a fashion.Isn't life and death going back and forth for nothing?Can't figure it out.

On the contrary, the master I follow is good, with a pure mind and soul, excellent bones, and diligent in cultivation, this is the most important thing.I have quite a few sets of exercises in my mind, but I felt my heart flutter for no reason after reading the few words written by the master that day.The left and right skills are not overwhelming, if the master is willing to teach them, he can also learn them, so there is nothing wrong with practicing more.

She is ignorant at this moment, only moving her primordial spirit, and her mind is all owned by the puppets who serve in the floating dust market in Luoling Pass. Naturally, she doesn't know that her real body is also cultivated by grass and trees, and that Qing Ming Jue is written by the great power of grass and trees to become immortals , so there is a very eager and close meaning in the dark.

It's also her fate, in this world, she has nothing to do, so she has the energy to take care of these things.If one really lives in a realm of cultivation and is only busy helping the body master to snatch magic weapons and settle grievances every day, then it is natural to concentrate on practicing the skills that have been practiced to a higher level, but it is difficult to have such a leisurely mind as now.

On the second day, Daiyu found Qingming out early in the morning and gave it to Guiliu. As if she had found a treasure, Guiliu hurried to the side to study and study.Daiyu smiled and didn't care about her, the rest of them knew that she had a special status, so they wouldn't bother with her.

There are many dignitaries in the capital, and most of the women in the palace are from the middle of the capital. Now that they have received the order to visit their relatives, the whole family is really jubilant, and everyone is rushing to take the lead. They measure and buy land everywhere, and manage gardens in various ways. Afforestation talents have become more popular, and the prices of flowers, birds, wood and stones are also changing day by day.Most of the ships that used to transport rice and grain have now been refitted with more than half of the materials from the south.The window panes and curtains also had patterns of various colors emerging one after another, and Luoyang paper was expensive at that time.

Mrs. Wang listened to the accounts read by the few people below, and said with a long breath: "It's done, it's done, let's put it here, and call your second grandma."

After a while, Sister Feng came, also holding a large stack of account books. Madam Wang felt even more headache when she saw it, and asked her: "Do they have any opinions outside? The flowers, trees, mountains and rocks in this garden are all determined accurately? Which one?" Go shopping?"

Sister Feng shook her head and said, "I have some detailed accounts here. I haven't got what my wife said." I'm not afraid that it won't be sold, and it will be more difficult to negotiate. These details look inconspicuous, but they are all overpowering, so I will show my wife to see them, so I can make an idea."

Mrs. Wang closed her eyes and said, "What can I think? How big and how should I build the courtyard? I found someone outside to draw it. I can still stop it."

Sister Feng said: "Although this is the case, I have to ask my wife to review it. My wife has to see if these items are correct. If not, write down a statement for them to change. If it is correct, you have to say whether it is necessary or not. Buying from outside, if you have to buy from outside...now the money in the book is not enough, you have to get permission from your wife to open a bank. "

Mrs. Wang just felt dizzy and didn't answer her words, but asked: "Why did I just hear that your younger sister Lin has returned to Beijing? When my aunt was here, she sent someone to send us here. , now she is left alone, but she went home instead?"

Sister Feng replied: "I heard that one delivered the letter to the old lady, but the others didn't know. I heard that my sister-in-law took the old lady's words and went to pick it up, but she didn't take it back."

Mrs. Wang pondered for a moment, and then asked: "When did you come back? Lian'er wasted so much time this time, and I didn't get any news. I don't even know when he came back!" Sister Feng was not easy to talk to. He just stood there with his head bowed.

Mrs. Wang sighed and said: "Send someone to ask over there, is there any old man who was married as a dowry back then? Ask carefully about the back and forth. How did you get it? Now your sister Lin is alone and doesn't live outside Reasonable, there is no adult in her family who can take care of things, you and Lian'er take care of her more, it's because of kinship. Don't let her be coaxed by those servants below."

Sister Feng agreed, but then said: "I heard that the second master came back and said that many of the servants of the Lin family have been dismissed, and those who stay are also old people from the Lin family. The ones who accompanied us in our house are not seen."

Mrs. Wang sneered, waved her hand and said: "Okay, I know about it, so don't worry about it. Let Lian'er go out and inquire about the outside world first. She is also a big family, so she just came to live in Beijing alone. Got it? There's always something to say." Sister Feng nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Wang asked to read and listen to those details, and she became impatient after hearing a few words, and said: "This is so much, I have to listen to everything, what else do you want!"

Sister Feng said with a smile: "It's also common, but now every house in Beijing is using large pieces of colored glaze to inlay the windows. , can only be bought from outside.”

Mrs. Wang said: "Since it's something you can't save, why don't you come to ask me what I'm doing? Let's figure it out and let the outside have a look."

Sister Feng said: "I have already seen it outside, but I can't pay this much money in the account outside."

Mrs. Wang frowned: "How many are there?"

Sister Feng said: "The Guangliuli school costs about 8 to [-] taels."

"What?! Why do you want so many!"

Sister Feng sighed and said: "This thing is not cheap at all, let's count it down. Concubine Li and Concubine Jin's family has more than us, and Concubine Wu's family is even worse. Just like the glazed window, it costs 4 to [-] taels." gone."

Mrs. Wang said annoyedly: "This silver is all brought by the strong wind!"

After thinking for a while, he said, "If it's a matter of 2 or [-] taels, I can make an idea here. This is a big amount, and garden repairs are not the only ones. Just leave it alone. I'll ask the old lady after dinner. mean."

Sister Feng was about to step back according to her words, when she remembered again and said: "Speaking of which, we still have a relationship with Qiqiaofang, which specializes in colored glaze."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked the details, and Sister Feng laughed and said, "I heard that the shopkeeper who is in charge now is the dowry servant released by the elder sister-in-law. Madam, let's see if he is one of our own?" Only then did Sister Feng salute and back out.

In the next afternoon, Li Wan was in the courtyard discussing with Suyun and the others about the clothes for changing seasons. Jin Chuan'er came smiling, but she came to deliver a message for Mrs. Wang.

Li Wan quickly stood up, and Jin Chuan'er said: "My wife said, it's very important for grandma to call the shopkeeper of Qiqiaofang to the house in the past few days. Hold on tight."

After Li Wan listened respectfully, he asked Suyun and the others to serve Jin Chuan'er tea, and asked with a smile, "I'm at a loss for what to say, my dear sister, can you tell me?"

Jin Chuan'er laughed and said, "I don't know about the maidservant either. It turned out that the second grandma came to report the details for repairing the garden in the mansion today. I heard that the storekeeper of the Liuli shop was originally the grandma's companion. Let the servants come to pass the message."

Li Wan thought that he really came, why not: "A few years ago, when Prince Xin came to ask for Zhuangzi, he sent them out together, but now he may not be able to handle it."

Jin Chuan'er laughed and said, "This servant just passed on the message for my wife, and the servants next to me didn't even know about it when the word got out." Li Wan smiled, still looking sad.

Mrs. Wang asked Jin Chuan'er to pass on the message, and waited for Li Wan to come back, who knew that after waiting for four or five days, Li Wan didn't move at all, so she couldn't help but feel a little restless.Then someone called her again, and immediately asked her: "A few days ago, I asked you to call the shopkeeper of Qiqiaofang. It has been so long, why has there been no reply?"

Li Wan replied: "In reply to the wife, the daughter-in-law has sent someone to deliver a message, but the owner of the workshop said that the business is busy now, and he is afraid that he will not be free for a while, so he will come to visit when he is free. The daughter-in-law thought it would be better to wait for him to be free." I will report to my wife when I can come to the house."

Mrs. Wang was very angry: "This is for the purpose of building a garden in the mansion. Although you don't care about everything, you should have heard that this matter is of great importance. Now how many families are urging and waiting for the glazed piece. This is something that can be delayed." What happened? Huh? Is this how you put your heart into me? "

Li Wan hurriedly said: "The daughter-in-law has followed the wife's advice and has already written to her. However, if people don't show this face, the daughter-in-law has nothing to do."

Mrs. Wang said angrily: "He is just a slave that you married as a dowry. Since you married into our mansion, he is also a slave of the mansion! Now that he has just grown a few hairs, he thinks his wings are stiff? You give me Send someone over, be sure to call my mansion today, and let Lian'er talk to him when the time comes!"

While talking, the little girl outside said: "The master is back, I heard that there is someone here with the wife, and asked how long it will take."

Mrs. Wang was still angry, and said to Li Wan: "Send someone to call him quickly, remember it!" Then she said, "Get back."

Li Wan saluted and turned around.Jia Zhengcai came out from the opposite room, lifted the curtain and entered the room, glanced at Mrs. Wang and said, "Now you also need to keep your identity in mind at all times, what's the point of yelling about a little thing."

Mrs. Wang pursed her lips, thinking of the identity of the imperial concubine's biological mother, she couldn't help showing a smile, but she also thought of Li Wan's dull and stupid appearance, and couldn't help saying to Jia Zheng: "Master doesn't know what's going on here! It's such a big deal in the house now. , this Zhuer daughter-in-law doesn't care about anything like a piece of wood, and doesn't ask about anything. Considering her status, I don't say much, let him go, and I can't help you. But now there is something in front of me, It was the time when she was required to contribute, and I told her four or five days ago, but I didn't take it to heart! That's why I called over and told her to do it quickly."

Jia Zheng didn't care too much, and said casually, "Who does something? If you have something to do, wouldn't it be good to hand it over to Lian's daughter-in-law? It'll save you bother. It's fine."

Mrs. Wang said: "If Lian'er's daughter-in-law can do it, what can I ask her to do! The shopkeeper of Qiqiaofang was her dowry slave. I asked her to call someone into the house so that I could discuss with Lian'er about us. What the family wants..."

Before he finished talking, Jia Zheng stopped him and asked, "What did you say? Qiqiaofang?"

Mrs. Wang nodded and said: "That's right! I wouldn't have known if Feng girl hadn't mentioned it. The shopkeeper of Qiqiaofang was the one who sent it to Zhuangzi of Xinwangfei last time. It is the old master..."

Hearing a sound from Huo Lang, the teacup in Jia Zheng's hand fell in front of her. Mrs. Wang was taken aback, and Jia Zheng yelled: "Confused! Since you know that this person was sent to Xin Wang's mansion back then, now If you can hold such a big front, you should know who is behind him! Talk to the confidant of the prince about the old-fashioned friendship, heh heh, you are quite courageous, and even let a housewife call him to the mansion, You have such a big face!"

Mrs. Wang's lips trembled and she didn't understand for a moment. Seeing her petty and clumsy appearance, Jia Zheng bumped his head angrily. He pointed at her and shook his head for a long time before saying, "Hurry up and let someone spread the word! Don't be ashamed anymore! Qiqiaofang is now They are all connected to the palace, if you remember the matter of digging people's roots, and say a few words, what will happen to Yuan'er's life in the palace? Stupid woman! Stupid woman!" Thinking of Mrs. Wang's four or five words just now I have sent people there once a few days ago, but it is not easy for my family to intervene in the back house. Mrs. Wang can't count on it, so she hurriedly changed her clothes and went inside to find Jia Mu for details.

Since Sister Feng mentioned Li Wan's matter with Mrs. Wang, she just waited for the news.Do you know why she acts like this?But it started more than half a year ago.

Dongfu lost the Qin family, but met You's illness again, and there was no one who could manage it.Jia Zhen got Baoyu's idea and asked Mrs. Wang to ask Sister Feng to help with Qin's funeral.Sister Feng was originally trying to make people feel unhappy because she had never been involved in major affairs in the house, so how could she let such an opportunity be easily let go?But it is also her ability to handle such a big matter clearly and clearly, even though the whole Ning family fears that she will not show face, they still accept her tricks.

In this way, other people are fine, but Lai Er, the housekeeper of the Ning Mansion, has another idea.It doesn't matter, it's just that Rongning and Ningfu are like two houses, where the family members are intertwined, and which family is in charge of it is almost hereditary.The Lai family was nothing at all, but it was Lai Da Lai Er's father who married Jia Mu who was the most capable confidant before, and gradually got up after Jia Mu took charge of the house.Lai Da is in the Rong Mansion, but Lai Nanny is the boss, and there are more than a dozen godsons and daughters under him, and they say what they say.

Although Lai Er took advantage of the light and became the steward of the Ning Mansion, he did not have such a neat authority.This time, seeing Sister Feng's decisiveness in killing and attacking, and Jia Zhen's trust, she thought of a way to get her daughter-in-law to get closer to her a few times while Sister Feng was in charge of the East Mansion. A steward of an important place.Sure enough, it happened, and sent 2000 taels of silver to Sister Feng in a roundabout way.

It is also in line with Sister Feng's fortune. This time she came out of Rongfu to manage the affairs of Ningfu, and only then did she realize how big the world is.Apart from this case, he also accepted a lawsuit in response to the request of the old nun of Shuiyue Temple, and received 3000 taels.Thinking that the Qin family did not lose their friendship with Sister Feng, Qiao Zong'er, who even passed away, gave Sister Feng 5000 taels of silver.

Only after taking such money did Sister Feng realize that there is such an easy way to earn money.Now that there is another empress in the mansion, it should be a lot of things like taking over the lawsuit in the future.

Ning Rong's second mansion just discussed the matter of closing the provincial house, and she thought of Lai Er, if they could negotiate a suitable price because of Li Wan, they would have something to talk about and replace the mansion's manager. The person who buys the item.This is a big head, it has not been opened for three years, and it has been eaten for three years after opening, that's all. How much rice noodles and charcoal does an antique display cost?If there is also a change of people here, and there is such a thing as building a provincial house, just this time, how much benefit will it be?

With this plan in mind, he specifically mentioned Li Wan to Mrs. Wang, but after waiting for several days, there was no answer.I was thinking about whether to go to inquire again, but I was called by Jia Mu that night, and together with Mrs. Wang, I received a few words that were neither serious nor serious.Today's Sister Feng is not the same as in the past. Although a few words are said, she feels that she has greatly hurt her face.

Besides, Li Wan had thought early in the morning that he wanted to be far away from Ji Liang.This time it was just right, he stretched out his face and begged Ji Liang to hit him, and the more he stomped on his feet, the better his face would be.Sure enough, someone was sent there, and Ji Liang was dealt with lukewarmly without even seeing him.

Not to mention, after half a month, Qiqiaofang sent someone to deliver the glazed items that were not in the top of the box.

Without saying a word, Li Wan sent someone to deliver it to Mrs. Wang, which made Mrs. Wang angry again.

Jia's mother also knew what had happened, so she called Li Wan to comfort her, and told her, "the so-called one servant does not serve two masters. Although they were originally married by you, they were released that year and then married with them." We have nothing to do with it. It is their affection that they are willing to remember, and it is only natural for them to pretend that this has never happened. We are just ordinary people, can we still compete with the royal family for slaves? Your wife doesn’t know what’s going on outside, I only focus on the affairs of the mansion, so it is inevitable to act biased. This time, I will put it here for you. If there is such a thing in the future, you just go back and forth with me first, and you must not easily gossip with others, but remember it. ?”

Li Wan naturally had no answer.It's just that since then, the mansion has recognized that the grandma is a mud bodhisattva, a master who even the former slaves dare not offend, doesn't it make the slaves in front of them a little bit more hopeful?
