Painting Tang Jiao

Chapter 195

The three master and servant chatted for a long time.

Ling Lu just waited aside, listening with a smile.

When Qing Huan noticed it, Ling Lu said: "I'm arguing, and the reasons are one after another, so black that it can be said to be white, it's also thanks to Madam that you are not there."

"Otherwise the ears will be uncomfortable."

"What did you say?" Youyuan asked curiously.She is the youngest of the four, with a sweet mouth.Although Qing Huan seldom used her, but she loved her almost the same, and the three of them also treated her as their little sister.Although she has been a maid for several years, her heart is still more pure.

Compared with her, Youqiao who came in with her is another opportunity.

Qing Huan remembered that when she went to see Yan Jun once, she had already become another summer grass.But it's good for Youyuan to be like this, at least it can add some fun.

"What can you say?" Ling Lu curled her lips in disdain.

Qing Huan smiled: "They can talk about who they are." Who cares?Please Huan doesn't care, and doesn't want to listen.It was just a casual excuse to give them a punishment.

This is the difference between the main room and the concubine room.

Today's actions are just to let them see clearly.

"The weather is fine today, the rare sun."

"That's not it." Ling Lu turned his eyes and said with a smile: "I see that I can open the cage and take it out to bask in the sun, so I can go to get rid of the mold."

Xiang Nong nodded in agreement: "Move faster, most of them can be exposed to the sun."

Youyuan said: "Then let me help too."

Qing Huan looked at the three servant girls: "You don't need to do it yourself, let someone help you."

The implication is that they agree with what they mean.

Linglu smiled mysteriously.

Several people glanced at each other, leaving Youyuan to talk with them.

Linglu and Xiangnong go out to work.

Qing Huan simply asked someone to lift the table and come out, and opened the window.

The long-lost sunshine came in, warmly.

Youyuan grinds ink aside.

"So lovely."

Qing Huan smiled slightly.

Since I got married, I have rarely practiced calligraphy.

The sun is good today, and the mood is really good.Rong Chen's safe return let Qing Huan know that he was fine, and at the same time understood his place in her heart.

A person can so affect a person's emotions and feelings.

Apart from his family, there is only Rong Chen left.

This side is looking for something to do, while Xu Lan and Xiao Wu are still kneeling on the other side.In other words, because of Linglu's absence, she was already kneeling on the ground.

The women who stayed behind turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.

Xu Lan waited quietly at first, but after a while not only did not see Qing Huan come back, nor did Ling Lu come back, she couldn't help feeling angry.

"hateful."

Xiao Wu laughed lightly, stretched out her hand and tapped her knee.

"I think you should be quieter. Even if you like to be punished and kneel down, don't hurt me."

"You..." Xu Lan stared, "What do you mean, isn't it for the two of us?"

"The two of us?"

"Joke, when did we live together?"

Xu Lan's complexion changed, and she quietly looked at the women without leaving a trace.

Xiao Wu shook her head.

"I still don't understand it now, it's all on purpose. I'm afraid we will have to kneel for a while longer."

Xu Lan snorted coldly, but did not argue again.

When Xiao Wu saw that she was silent, she lowered her head.But his mind was spinning rapidly.A few days ago and today are really two different attitudes, could it be...

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up.

After that, he gritted his teeth secretly.

After more than half an hour passed, Man Cao ran back anxiously.

"Oh, the two aunts, get up quickly."

Xiao Wu and Xu Lan looked at each other.

Xiao Wu asked: "Is Madam here?"

Mancao shook her head apologetically: "It's all our fault, there are too many things in the house. It's all too busy, Madam didn't have time to eat, she didn't expect the two aunts to still be kneeling."

"The madam said that I will invite the two aunts to come and talk after a few days."

"What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and help the two aunts to get up, and then ask someone to ask the doctor to take a look. Don't be sick. You must know that the master is coming back." Mancao shouted to the people on the side.

Xiao Wu's eyelids twitched when he heard this.

At noon, Xiao Wu came to ask for a doctor.

Qing Huan waved her hand.

Mancao then sent someone out to invite the doctor in.

After waking up from the afternoon nap, there were already rumors that Mrs. Wu was ill at her natal home.

"Really?"

Mancao smiled: "Who knows if it's true or not, anyway, Aunt Wu is sick now."

Youyuan nodded with a half understanding.

But I don't know if I really understand it in my heart.

Qing Huan asked someone to send some food over, as well as brand new and thick bedding, and an extra set of silver charcoal.

After Xu Lan on the other side inquired.

Went to see Xiao Wu before dinner.

The next day was similarly ill.

Qing Huan didn't favor one person over another, and still asked people to send things over.

In private, Linglu and Mancao murmured: "Then Aunt Xu is really stupid. Logically speaking, based on the relationship in the past, she should be able to live more comfortably in the mansion. But now, what should Xue Na do?" Where is Aunt Wu?"

Mancao laughed at her: "It's amazing, you can use the word like a fish in water now."

Zero Lu glared.

"You're laughing at me."

As he said that, he rushed over and scratched his itch.

Cranberry was amused and giggled.

It took a long time for the two of them to stop, and Mancao smiled and said: "Madam always says that people and things should not be seen on the surface. In fact, I don't know what you are talking about. If you want to talk about it, it depends on Aunt Wu's aunt in Dongrong. It is possible that she has learned a little bit about the skills in the mansion. It is possible that Aunt Xu is not as good as her, but... Aunt Xu is not stupid to come in. "

After all, many people are directly abandoned.

But Xu Lan can still come to the Rong Mansion and become the first aunt.If it wasn't for Rong Chen's dislike of beauty, and Tong Qinghuan's old acquaintance.Today's Rong Mansion may not have her one-acre three-point land.

You must know that Xu Lan's looks are not bad.

Although Qing Huan's aunt is nearly forty years old, she still has a charm.Although Mr. Cheng does not only have such a wife, but at this age, most of them still accompany his old wife.Xu's temperament is good on the one hand, and quite beautiful is naturally another reason.

……

Rong Chen came back that night, but it was only in the middle of the night.

Qing Huan has been waiting.

Rong Chen deliberately lowered the sound of his footsteps, and met Qing Huan's eyes the moment he opened the door.

Qing Huan got up from the bed.

Rong Chen asked, "Haven't you slept yet?" He thought Qing Huan had fallen asleep, after all, she had already been sleepy at this point in the past, and this was the husband and wife's understanding for half a year.

That's why when I came back, I kept my footsteps light so as not to disturb her.

Qing Huan shook her head: "Do you want something to eat? Why are you back so late?"

To her question, Rong Chen said: "I didn't eat, I just came back after drinking some wine."

Only then did Qing Huan smell the wine, and immediately frowned.

Rong Chen could only smile wryly at this.

Qing Huan hummed.

"I'll ask someone to prepare some food for you."

Rong Chen thought for a while and agreed.

Xiang Nong was slightly surprised when he saw Rong Chen, but thinking of Qing Huan's performance today, he also had vague thoughts in his heart, and went to the kitchen after responding in a low voice.

After eating supper with Rong Chen, the two rested.

Qing Huan asked about the past few days.

"...You are always in a hurry, and you also say that it has something to do with Jun'er."

Rong Chen said: "There will be results in the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow, you go to Jun'er's place to let him be prepared. Then don't panic." After a pause, he said: "Just post Asking Mother Xia to go to his place early in the morning can also help with the preparations, Mother Xia is very experienced."

Qing Huan was slightly surprised.

Judging from his tone, it seems that the matter is already settled.

Rong Chen said: "No one can talk about this matter, not even the prince. The only thing left is the emperor. This is what my aunt and grandmother meant."

That day, when three people were discussing in the room.

Princess Danyang made this decision.

She also disliked the emperor.

But for the sake of the entire Great Qi Kingdom, there is no other way.

Furthermore, apart from the emperor, no one is at ease.It is easy for other political opponents to take the opportunity to take advantage of it. Of course, the premise is that the so-called disaster will not come this year.

Except for Qing Huan, no one is sure whether it will definitely become a fact.

They have to think about the best plan and the worst possibility.

In this case, it is necessary to secretly write a scripture to the emperor.

Of course, I didn't completely believe it after reading the scriptures, but it's not that I didn't believe it either.Just like Princess Danyang knew the emperor, the emperor also knew his aunt.

Absolutely no deliberate falsification.

And it is also a fact that this year's cold is ahead of schedule.

It's just that before there is no conclusive evidence, it is impossible for the emperor to say it directly in public.Otherwise, what if there is no one?That is not to damage the prestige of the emperor.

That's why Rong Chen and Wang Yi secretly asked Rong Chen to look for him.

And Rong Chen also mentioned Yan Jun.

Transfer Qing Huan's discovery to Yan Jun. After all, the dowry Zhuangzi and Yan Jun are connected together.When Qing Huan ordered people to make preparations, Yan Jun also followed up.

When Rong Chen said that, his heart was pounding.

But after asking Yan Jun's father's name today, he seemed to believe it, and started to let them prepare.

For a while, Rong Chen disappeared.

It is to visit secretly.

Naturally, there are royal people around them to guard against fraud and report the latest situation to the emperor so that he can prepare in advance.

Before Rong Chen came back.

There was action on the emperor's side.

"Action? What action?" Qing Huan really didn't know, she was busy worrying about Rong Chen these days, and the whole mansion was almost as if it had been sealed off.

No other news from outside could come in at all.

Even if it came in, she didn't have the heart to listen to it at the time.

"...Well, the imperial court has purchased a large amount of grain and cotton. The notice was only issued two days ago, and there has been movement in the past few days." Compared with the grain being in the hands of profit-heavy businessmen or other interested people, It's better to keep it in your own hands.

"In addition to us in the dark, we have also created rumors on the surface. It is estimated that in the future, people who should know will know about it."

Qing Huan turned her eyes and couldn't help admiring her a little.

I know what I should know in the future, and I am presenting the notebook.

So……

Qing Huan turned around and met Rong Chen's gaze: "Is that to congratulate you?"

This time the credit is not small.

"Not sure yet."

Where it is not necessarily, it will definitely appear.

Qing Huan knew it in her heart, and the smile on her face deepened.

Rong Chen whispered: "The official position will not be promoted, but..."

Qing Huan raised her eyebrows.

Rong Chen said, "I'm afraid there is something else."

Qing Huan hummed.

The next morning, Rong Chen still left early.

After Qing Huan had dinner, she went to Yan Mansion.

Mother Xia also followed.

The two siblings talked for a while.

Mother Xia stayed in the mansion.

During the period, Qing Huan also met Harue and Fuyuki.

Chunzhi looked changed a lot, and he became a bit refreshed.

Fuyuki remained silent.

Qing Huan nodded secretly, whispered a few words to Xia's mother before leading her away.

Yan Jun went out together.

Qing Huan felt distressed: "It's so cold, why do I still have to study?"

Yan Jun smiled nonchalantly: "It's not just me, all the brothers are going."

Qing Huan smiled: "Actually, if it's this time..."

Yan Jun interrupted her, raised her head and raised her chest: "Sister, I will use my own ability, just like my father." But if there is some external force to borrow, he will not refuse.

Qing Huan smiled and hummed,

The two siblings separated.

Qing Huan went to Yan Mansion, and then took a detour to Dongrong Mansion.

What I said was nothing more than a matter of this year's cold and snowy weather.

Since it will be officially announced tomorrow, the rumors have already started again.

And Rong Chen, the person in charge in his identity, has also returned.

If when the time comes, Qing Huan says that she doesn't know anything at all, then who will believe it.

In addition, Yan Jun will also have a reward this time.

In order to avoid some gossip in the future, just go there.

Mrs. Yan was dubious about Qing Huan's words.

The old man didn't quite believe it either.

It was still the eldest wife who said: "It's better to believe it than to believe it. I believe Qiyatou. This matter is not good for her, but it's just a matter of relatives. In the future, there will be something. , we can't blame her for it."

These words naturally brought Qing Huan a grateful smile.

The eldest lady waved her hand: "I'm not doing it for you, but for myself. You're right, I have to prepare too." I was thinking about what was going on with Yan Wei again.

She is fine in Beijing.

But Yan Wei was in a remote place.

Thinking of this eldest lady, I became anxious, and I didn't sit down much, and I didn't send Qing Huan away.Instead, the second wife wanted to see her off for the first time.

When they reached the door, Qing Huan stopped and asked, "Second Wife, what do you want?"

The second wife did not speak, but looked at the surrounding maids.

Qing Huan coughed.

Xiangnon and the others walked away immediately.

"... Wait a minute, are you going to Rong's mansion?" The second wife asked.

Qing Huan nodded.

There was no intention of hiding it, let alone no need to hide it at all.

"Yes, but the second wife wants to go together?"

The second wife waved her hands in panic.

"That is?"

"No, I want you to help me see if your fourth sister is doing well, then Wu... Will Mrs. Wu know?"

Qing Huan interrupted her without any doubt.

"Second siblings are naturally good, second wife don't worry."

He said again: "I'll go there in a while, and when the time comes, I'll tell my second younger sibling, and let her come back to have a look, or write a letter, so that second wife won't worry about you."

Qing Huan paused, and slightly bowed her body.

"I'll be leaving first. In addition... for the food and cotton, we still need to prepare one or two things. The most important thing is medicinal materials."

There are serious diseases under severe disasters.

Food and medicinal materials are indispensable.

It was this time that he knew about it early and had preparedness, but he couldn't resist all of them.

After all, Daqi is not small.

There are also many people.

Plus time is limited.

There is very little that can be done to help.

Qing Huan left Yan Mansion and went to Rong Mansion.

I didn't see the fourth girl at first.

It was Wu's reception.

Qing Huan didn't say much, just said the same thing as in Yan's mansion.As for whether she believed it or not, Qing Huan didn't want to care about it at all.

But before leaving, I asked the fourth girl.

Wu said: "She brought your sister as a guest."

Rong Yue?

Qing Huan's eyes flickered slightly.

Wu looked at Qing Huan and said: "Your sister is not young anymore, I thought she should find a good family. A family like ours doesn't need to be high-ranking, but we can't marry too poorly."

Qing Huan smiled.

In my heart, I felt that what she said was really too funny.

Wu's words must be based on the fact that Rong Yue is a legitimate daughter.

But actually?
Qing Huan said: "Do you need me to help you take a look? My sister's status is a bit inferior, but her appearance is pretty good."

"No, you think so too." Wu Shi suddenly grabbed Qing Huan's hand and asked.

Qing Huan was stunned.

On the mouth, he said: "Yes."

Wu said: "I also feel that my sister Yue is pitiful, because of this status, otherwise the royal family is worthy of it."

Before the words finished, Qing Huan shouted sharply: "Mr. Wu, be careful with your words."

There are some things that cannot be said.

What does Master Rong rely on?
It's just that the mother who married Rong Chen came to power.

If Rong Yue was Rong Chen's biological sister, she would still say, but a daughter from a concubine, why should she?

Qing Huan's eyes were cold.

Just said it directly.

But in the end the mood is much worse.

Qing Huan looked at Mrs. Wu as if she hadn't said a word of farewell, and just led them away.

Wu Shi looked at her back and let out a stern sigh.

"What, I am not a good guy."

And the rumors reached their peak on the third day.

Rong Chen put on a red official uniform.

Qing Huan supported the door frame and watched him leave.

Cranberry spoke in a low voice.

Qing Huan paused, nodded after a while and said, "You go and prepare some."

Mancao brought Youyuan and Linglu, and asked Xiangnong to stay and guard.

Not long after, I heard a servant say that Aunt Xu and Aunt Wu came to pay their respects.

Qing Huan frowned.

"Aren't you sick?"

Xiang Nong replied: "That's what you said, the kitchen has also boiled medicine."

Qing Huan thought for a while: "Please come in."
