Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 175
"Don't!" Guan Xiucai said with a narrow smile, "I have been friends with shopkeeper Ma for many years. I have eaten and drank his food all these years. Besides, he is really right. These days , who can tell you the truth, that is true friendship! I talk too much, my face is really not on the big stage, and if I really wear official uniforms, it will really damage the state of the country. Besides, I have been in the capital for so many years, and the past ten years have been fine. Let me start by saying, alas, I have seen a lot, and I can see it openly. Now I can follow the prince. This is a great blessing. The prince is generous. At this point, the concubine has nothing to say when she treats others, now I just concentrate on serving the prince, and the rest of my life will be rich and honorable!"

Hearing what he said, the fifth prince stood up, dusted off his clothes very easily and smiled and said, "My lord is worthless, and finding a gentleman is also worthless. Since the gentleman has made up his mind, then it's up to you, sir, look at it first." Dossier, let's talk tomorrow." The fifth prince walked out the door while talking, Guan Xiucai sent the fifth prince out of the courtyard, with his hands behind his back, turning the folding fan, watching the fifth prince walk away, humming a little tune, and turning around Back to the yard.

As soon as the fifth prince entered the vertical flower gate, he saw the red sleeves coming towards him at a glance, let him go to the side of the verandah, bent his knees respectfully without raising his head, and lowered his hands, waiting for the fifth prince to pass first, the fifth prince involuntarily slowed down, vigilant and suspicious He stared at her several times before passing.

Li Tian greeted the fifth prince, took the tea and handed it to him, and ordered the meal to be served. The fifth prince pretended not to care, as if he just asked casually: "What is Hongxiu here for? What happened?"

"I just wanted to discuss this matter with you." Li Tian sat back on the kang sideways, looked at the Fifth Prince with a smile, and said, "It's not about the red sleeves, it's about the girls in the East Court. One year older, the oldest is nineteen."

"Who is Baoyan?" The fifth prince interrupted Li Tian and asked, Li Tian explained in a good-tempered manner: "It's just those girls that Qiao Mama and the others specially picked out to serve you in your daily life, Hongxiu came to look for me, but I thought, I have to discuss this matter with you, this is a girl from the East Courtyard, you have to decide." The fifth prince looked at Li Tian sideways for a while before asking: "What do you mean by that? What are you going to do here? Lord? You’re so old, why don’t you hurry up to get married? Why keep it? Let people gossip about us behind our backs, and we’re too old to marry, which will harm the peace of heaven and earth. This is a big deal.”

"There are quite a few boys of similar age in our mansion, but none of them might be worthy of Baoyan and the others." Li Tian was calm and soft-spoken. He has been awkward all the time, blowing his beard and staring to find trouble everywhere, now he stares at Li Tian and scolds: "They are all slaves, who is worthy and who is not? How did you become a family?"

"You're right." Li Tian wasn't annoyed at all: "After all, she's a girl from the East Courtyard. You can't do what I want. It's up to you to make the decision. I'll tell Hongxiu later and ask her to find you to report this matter." Fifth Prince Holding his breath, he stared at Li Tian, ​​turned his head, frowned and waved his hands: "What do you want me for again? I don't care about this matter. As I said, going inside from the moon gate is internal affairs. It's not my business. It's up to you!"

"In this case, what I mean is that there are no suitable servants in the mansion, so let their families take them back and marry them on their own." Li Tian just finished speaking, and the fifth prince came to taste the taste. The origin of these maids is unknown. It's better to let the family take them back and marry them on their own than to refer to the young servants to stay in the mansion. The fifth prince is sullen after tasting it. Why didn't she say this from the beginning?I have to talk about it slowly for a long time, isn't this intentional?

The Fifth Prince stared at Li Tian with a smile on his face. Li Tian has been in a good mood these past few days. During the year and year, Jin'an County Prince's Mansion resigned on his own, and Mammy Xiong and others used various means. The people who need to be cleaned up are almost cleared up, and if the east courtyard is cleaned up, the inner courtyard will be generally cleaned up. This is the biggest problem facing her since she got married.

"Did Jiang Dalang reply about the matter of the Qingjiang Marquis?" Li Tian changed the subject, and the fifth prince swallowed his sullen breath and said, "Qingyuan has already told his mother that he will ask someone to come to ask for marriage in the past few days. This matter is urgent and should not be delayed. " Li Tian breathed a sigh of relief, Yu Yaofang was very satisfied with Jiang Zhengyuan, Mrs. Xu felt that he was a rare close relative, but she always thought it was too easy, the fifth prince paused, looked at Li Tian and said: "I Received an errand."

"Well, Manager Ma told me." Li Tian thought about his words and said with a smile: "Speaking of serving as a prisoner, I have heard my uncle say several times that since the great-grandfather Zhongyi Gong, several generations of the Li family have been incapable of writing. Not Wu, because the ancestor of the Li family was the first generation of Yong Guogong, and the great-grandfather had acted as an agent for the Ministry of Industry and the general supervisor. Different from other places, it is not easy to know what to do. From craftsman to foreman, most of them are passed down from father to son. Most of the children of the Li family are supported by their elders when they are general prisons. say something?"

The fifth prince was stunned when he heard that, most of the foremen who will be in charge are members of the Li clan, do the officials know about this?The officials wouldn't know, if they knew...the fifth prince felt a chill in his heart, could it be that the officials had already planned for him to be in charge of the general and prison when he pointed out the marriage?Or was it because of this marriage that he was put in charge of the general and the prisoner?Perhaps, being the supervisor is mostly a trivial matter of the Li family, and the officials will not pay attention... Li Tian looked at the fifth prince who was staring at her in a strange way, and was about to speak, when Yinhua's crisp voice came from outside the curtain There was a sound, the curtain was lifted, and Tao Zhi brought a few little girls to serve the dinner like flowing water. The two of them didn't speak any more. Check out Aunt Yao's life experience." Li Tian was in a daze, and the fifth prince waved his hands away from the girls, looked at Li Tian and said, "Brother is 17 years older than you, could he have known you a long time ago?" Li Tian understood what he meant, She couldn't help frowning, and shook her head after a long while and said, "I don't know, the box where those things were placed has been sealed since my grandmother passed away. When I received the first gift, Nanny Wen was already serving my grandmother, she said Grandmother never knew who gave it to me, and grandma never mentioned it, didn't uncle grow up in the Empress Dowager's Palace?"

"I always feel that he should know about you. Eldest brother and biological mother are not born, even if he knows." The fifth prince stopped talking, and after a moment of silence, he continued: "How many of us are brothers, I think elder brother is the most like father, with deep thoughts You can't hide it, but you can be ruthless, Dad can't guess what's on his mind, and neither can elder brother's mind."

"Do you know?" Li Tian said while thinking, "Looking at it now, it doesn't seem like a bad thing. Aunt Yao doesn't see any malice towards my father and me."

"Well, I have to investigate this matter quietly. It's better to know the origin than not to know." The fifth prince really couldn't figure it out. Li Tian nodded in agreement. This has always been a heart problem for her. Nothing good!
Yu Shengshi followed the steward of Yao's mansion into the gate of the mansion, walked all the way in small steps, walked a lot to the east, and entered the yard of the outer study where Mr. Yao saw people handling official business. The seats on both sides of the gate were full When the Beijing officials and foreign officials who were waiting to see someone came in, they almost all turned their heads to look at the person who came in. The steward turned a blind eye. Yu Shengshi had never been so eye-catching before. I don't know where to put it.

The manager's small steps didn't even mean to slow down. The servants standing in the corridor bowed slightly one by one to let the two of them in. They didn't know how long they waited, and they didn't know if they could see the officials on Yao Xianggong's side today. They looked enviously at Yu Shengshi who was following behind the steward. Yu Sheng was uncomfortable, but there was an inexplicable pride in his heart. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his Shangguan's horse face Among the envious faces, he was staring at himself in both astonishment and envy, and countless pleasures seeped into that complacency, and he couldn't help straightening his waist.

Turning into the Hanging Flower Gate, the courtyard was much quieter and more serious. The servants in the porch were still wearing the same green clothes and caps. When they saw the two, they no longer bowed to salute.The pride and joy in Yu Shengshi's heart was rushed to Java by this seriousness, and then he remembered that he was forced to come over by the manager, saying that Yao Xianggong had something important to find him, but he and Yao Xiang had never had any contact , what is the matter?Yu Shengshi's heart was up and down again.

After the steward reported, he entered the room first, and lifted the curtain to let Yu Shengshi in.Yu Shengshi entered the room cautiously, wanted to look up but didn't dare, his nervous eyes were a little dazed.

"Da Lang is here, please sit down." The voice from above was very accommodating and polite, and Yu Shengshi's heart immediately calmed down. Yu Shengshi boldly looked up and saw Yao Xianggong in a purple robe. With a smile on his face, he motioned him to sit down. On the lower chair on the left sat a man in his 50s dressed as a Confucian scholar, shaking an old folding fan in his hand, and looked even more amiable.

Yu Shengshi rushed to the head of Mr. Yao Xianggong to finally meet him. Yao Xianggong pointed to the Confucian scholar and introduced: "This is Mr. Lu." Yu Shengshi hurriedly bowed again to salute. He clasped his fists and clasped his hands, which was regarded as a return of the salute.

"Please sit down, Dalang." Yao Xianggong gave way again, and Yu Shengshi sat down, and a servant served tea. Yao Xianggong watched him sip his tea, and then he said slowly with a bit of indifference "Da Lang should have seen it when he came in just now. I've been like this here all the time. I'm so busy that I don't even have time to calm down and have a cup of tea. It's really important to invite Da Lang, so I'll just say it straight, Da Lang." Don't be surprised."

"No wonder, no wonder." Mr. Yao was so polite to Yu Shengshi that he didn't know how to express his stance. Mr. Lu smiled, but his eyes were very cold when he looked at Yu Shengshi. Mr. Yao glanced at him, picked up the cup and slowly He took a sip of tea, put down his cup, and continued, "Da Lang is also a straightforward person. I heard that Da Lang's eldest daughter is virtuous, elegant, quiet, and gentle. Da Lang also knows that I have a son, Xiao Shisi. Played a little, but I was strictly restrained since I was a child, not worse than ordinary children, I want to have a son and daughter with Dalang."

This is the end of Yao Xianggong's words. Seeing Yu Shengshi waiting for him to answer, Yu Shengshi was stunned and looked straight at Yao Xianggong, blinking his eyes non-stop. Mr. Lu coughed lightly and laughed: "Da Lang It is really a blessing to have a woman like this. Fourteenth Lang has a pure nature and is honest. He has a lot of friends in the capital, even the prince of Jin'an County can't compare. When playing? Just wait until you have a family, start a family, start a business, and then get a job, in my opinion, in the future, the young phoenix may be as good as the old phoenix."
