Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 218
Eunuch Zhou was flipping through the information there, and the more he looked at it, the more suspicious he looked, and Qin Ye's behavior was so unusual that he even adopted an abandoned baby, a man and a woman, from the Beijing Yangshengtang.

When Qin Ye wanted to adopt a child, his first consideration was to adopt a boy. Since he was able to adopt two boys, he should also adopt two boys. Just in case, it was common for him to die on the way.

Moreover, Qin Ye was also surprised that he had no children in his fifty years, and since he wanted to adopt him, it was to pass on the incense.

Qin Ye adopted a son and a daughter, and the son died later. The strange thing is that Qin Ye named this daughter "Ke'er", which is now Qin Keqing. There are more daughters, the key is who is the mother of this old man, Qin Ye's wife passed away early, so there are many doubts.

Then I picked up the capital diary to see what happened during that time, flipped forward, and suddenly there was a record that in the 38th year of the Great Martial Calendar, a fire broke out in the Jingcheng Yangshengtang, and it was razed to the ground overnight.

Seeing this, eunuch Zhou shrank his pupils and secretly said yes.

He has a deep memory, and he will never forget the scene of the fire in the capital that night, so he got in touch.

Eunuch Zhou didn't dare to delay, so he secretly folded these pages of files and put them in his arms, and then put the heavy files back in their place.

Seeing no one around, he walked out of the secret room of the imperial city, but just after he went out, he met one of Dai Quan's confidant eunuchs, Wang Xiu Wang Gonggong.

Eunuch Zhou was about to leave as if nothing had happened, but before he reached the hall, he was yelled by the prince;
"Eunuch Zhou stayed behind. Why did you come to the Imperial City Division today? Everyone remembers that Eunuch Zhou hasn't been here for a long time, and he hasn't sent any information. The chief steward of the Imperial City Division is nothing to you. .”

Eunuch Zhou Jing sneered, looked back at Steward Wang in the hall, and said;

"The miscellaneous family has been in the palace for decades, and no one has dared to talk to the miscellaneous family like this. I, the chief steward, can't come here. Could it be that Mr. Dai has allowed you to reach out to the harem and the emperor? What do you want? The information is complete, I will report the whereabouts of the Supreme Emperor these few days to Steward Wang."

As soon as this word comes out,
The eunuch in charge of the hall and Xiao Huangmen saw that their faces turned pale, and they all ran away quickly, leaving the steward Wang with a cloudy expression.

Eunuch Zhou didn't pay any attention to it, and just turned around and left. The guards in front of him, Xiaohuangmen and Huangchengsi, didn't seem to notice.

Steward Wang was also full of anger, and stomped his feet when he saw the secret room and warehouse that eunuch Zhou entered. If the old fox went in to check, he must have already prepared his hands and feet, and he was not afraid to check it himself, that's all.

Zhou Jing didn't stop all the way, he went back to his yard directly, and after waiting for a while, he arranged for his confidantes to go down to look for those who could still survive in the Yangshengtang.

Ouchi,

Outside the palace, Mrs. Wang directly dragged Qin Keqing into the carriage together, and then took her back to Luoyunhou's mansion. Qin Keqing didn't dare to watch casually along the way, but just sat there quietly.

Madam Wang looked at this girl and became more and more satisfied.

said softly;
"But Qing, after returning home, I will have a good rest at the mansion. When the time comes, people from the House of Internal Affairs will come to arrange for me, and I can talk to my old man about anything. Luo Yunhou's mansion was born outside the customs, so there are not so many rules."

Qin Keqing lowered her eyebrows, tilted her pretty face, nodded slowly, and replied in a low voice;

"You know, mother."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang thought to herself, she is really a smart girl.

"Ah."

Wang Shihan also agreed.

The second daughter, Yueshu, pouted and looked at the woman in front of her. This is the future mistress.

When they arrived at the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Wang arranged for Wei Yong, the chief guard of the Hou Mansion, to personally escort Qin Keqing back to the Nancheng Qin Mansion after getting off the car.

Ouchi,

Hall of Mental Cultivation,
Empress Jiang Yuqing went over with the lotus seed porridge cooked.

When I came to the Imperial Study Room of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, seeing the Emperor looking at the memorial as always, I was heartbroken.

came over to persuade;

"Your Majesty, take a break, my concubine made lotus seed porridge for you, go to the fire."

Emperor Wu also put down the memorial, stood up and moved around, seeing the queen coming here, he knew that the matter was settled.

"Yuqing, thank you for your hard work."

"Your Majesty, my concubines don't work hard, and I am very willing to help your majesty's concubines."

Jiang Yuqing filled a bowl of lotus seed porridge and brought it over. Zhou Shihong then began to taste it slowly, feeling a little hungry indeed.

"It's still the empress's handicraft, the old taste, I like it. How did you talk with Luo Yunhou's mother, Wang Shi?"

Jiang Yuqing sat down next to Emperor Wu at the table and replied;
"Your Majesty, drink more if you like. We have a good talk with Mrs. Wang. The marriage is set on the ninth day, and with the help of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, everything can be prepared in two days."

Hearing the Queen's affirmative answer, Emperor Wu also heaved a sigh of relief, it was so good, when he relaxed, the taste improved, and he finished a bowl of porridge in just a few sips, it was very sweet.

Mrs. Wang returned to the mansion, entered Zhang Jinyu's yard, entered the house, and saw that Zhang Jinyu had already fallen asleep, but Mrs. Wang didn't bother, covered her son with a quilt, closed the door and went out.

The second daughter, Yueshu, didn't see Yang's fox figure, feeling inexplicably comfortable, followed Mrs. Wang back to Dongyun Tower.

This night,
Almost all got a good night's sleep.

But Jia Lian from Rongguo Mansion didn't sleep all night, tossing and turning there, and worried about his own situation, no matter what, it was his turn to be the master of this family, it was sad to think about it, and he was even controlled by Wang Xifeng, who was next to him , might as well lead the army to the border at ease.

But thinking of the bloody and hardships at the border, he couldn't help but retreat, because he couldn't do without the colorful world of the capital.

Otherwise, the family would be separated, but thinking that the old lady is so protective of the second wife, especially Jia Baoyu, it's okay if he doesn't separate, what else is left after the separation, the empty title, it really becomes a laughing stock.

What should I do tomorrow.

Jia Lian pondered over this matter over and over again, and finally fell asleep in a daze.

On the second day,
The weather is sunny.

is a good day,
Mrs. Wang arranged for the second daughter to take people to buy various items for the wedding early in the morning, and temporarily decorated the Hou's mansion.

On the other hand, he took Yang Hanyu to face the account book, and decided who to invite at home, and asked his own restaurant to prepare ingredients for the banquet.

Then people from the House of Internal Affairs also came to the door, bringing a lot of lanterns and red cloth, etc., of course, they mainly went to the Qin House to help with the decoration.

But Zhang Jinyu woke up lazily, put on his military uniform and light armor, and went to Dongyun Building for breakfast.

I saw no one in the house,

So I asked the maid where all the people went.

The servant girl replied that the old lady and Mrs. Yang were busy upstairs and asked Master Hou to eat first.

Zhang Jinyu didn't think too much about it, just sat down and ate nonsense, and then thought of going to the household department to meet today, it was also a headache.

The Jia family is a member of the Dayan tribe today, so I don't know what they have to say, and if they go by themselves, they may be suspected of being persecuted.

But when he thought of Jia Zhen's immortality, he also became angry, and wanted to go to Longtan and Tiger's Den.

He took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, drank the porridge in one gulp, wiped it with a damp brocade cloth, got up and walked out, and did not forget to say when he reached the door;

"Tell my mother that you don't have to wait for me for lunch today,"

"Yes, Lord Hou."

The maid behind her agreed.

Zhang Jinyu went out of the yard regardless, and came to the front yard of the Hou's mansion, and asked Ningbian to gather a hundred people to follow behind and head for the big inner household department.

Ouchi Imperial City Division,
Yang Chi Yang Gonggong also got up early, and said to Xiao Guizi after eating breakfast;
"Go, ask Niubai Baihu to take the people from the Imperial City Division of a household, and follow the miscellaneous family, and you will follow."

Xiao Guizi next to him, when he heard what his godfather said, his excitement was beyond words, and he hurriedly said;

"Yes, godfather, don't worry."

After speaking, he turned around and went out to explain.

Sitting there after eating, Eunuch Yang drank some tea to digest his food, thinking about what to do with the Jia family.

According to rumors in the harem, the daughter of Jia's family may be going up there soon, and she will be a prosperous nobleman by then.

I also purposely inquired, today Jia's mansion is going to have a big banquet for the clansmen, what kind of trouble is the civil servant of the household department, is it Luo Yunhou's intention.

It's very possible that Luo Yunhou and Jia's family are making noise, but every piece of noise is not small. It's best to bring more people with you, so that you can make peace at that time.

On the other hand, those people in the household department really want money, or they mean something. Not to mention, it is impossible for the Supreme Emperor to pass.

Eunuch Yang was also in a dilemma, so he stopped thinking about it. He stood up and walked out of the hall. Seeing that Xiaoguizi and Niuhu Baihu had assembled their troops, there were about a hundred people, so he said;

"Today is the first time Zajia takes you out. Listen to greetings in everything, and the benefits are indispensable to you. Let the Zajia shine brightly, so don't spoil the big things."

"It's the father-in-law, I understand."

Niu Hu and others answered in unison.

"Just understand, go to the household department first."

Eunuch Yang got into the carriage, and Xiao Guizi followed closely, sitting in the front of the carriage and driving the horses, and went to the Ministry of Households under the guard of the Imperial City Department's people and horses.

Of course, when walking in Da Nei, it is still a little low-key, except for the people around you, no flags are raised.

Tobe,

Shen Zhongxin had been waiting here for a long time, and even prepared a lot of breakfast here, so that the doctor and chief of the household department, as well as the accountant, could eat first. After all, it seemed inhumane to recruit people by himself early in the morning.

Today Shen Shilang specially arranged a lot of accountants to wait in the hall with their abacus.

Rongguo Mansion,
It was very lively early in the morning. The alleys and alleys of Ningrong Street and the rest of Jia's house all spontaneously brought their children and family members to Rongguo Mansion to help out. They looked very busy everywhere.

Wang Xifeng even got up early in the morning, and took Ping'er around in and out of the courtyard. When he saw what was needed, he immediately asked his servants to arrange it.

When people from outside the clan saw Second Grandma, they respectfully stopped their work and said Good Morning to Second Grandma before going back to work, which made Wang Xifeng awe-inspiring.

Ping'er enviously said;

"Grandma, you are really majestic now, and those people really admire you."

Today's Wang Xifeng has a very high prestige in Jia's family, not to mention recruiting a large number of people from Jia's family as businessmen, but now he has sent many people to the chamber of commerce under the name of Luoyunhou's mansion, and the business has made a living , and also guaranteed that there would be a lot of points every month, which was the same among the low-level people in the Jia family.

Wang Xifeng was naturally addicted to it and couldn't extricate herself, said majestically;

"Okay, you have also become the big shopkeeper."
