Yutai Bi

Chapter 230 Visit 1
Du Yansui lowered the curtain and explained to Cen Sanniang: "The governor's office is too small, King Teng plans to build a palace in Yutai Mountain."

Cen Sanniang was speechless: "It is a sky-high price to open such a large area on the mountainside. King Teng is willing to do so."

Du Yansui said with a smile: "Prince Teng's idea is very simple. If he spends money recklessly, he will naturally have no money left to recruit soldiers and buy horses to rebel. Probably not long after, the emperor's order to reprimand him will come again. If you can get the emperor to scold you, please help me." Peace of mind. By the way, make yourself comfortable again. Do you think King Teng is amazing?"

Cen Sanniang pursed her lips and smiled: "If you scold me, you can scold me. The king doesn't see the king. It's a real enjoyment to live comfortably."

Du Yansui laughed along, but what he was thinking in his heart was completely different from Cen Sanniang's.

After returning to the old house and settling down, the third room of Cen's family got the news, and the fourth wife came to visit in person.Du Yansui went to the front yard.

He thought for a long time, and wrote two letters with a pen, one was a letter home to Mrs. Du, and the other was sealed with wax.Handed it over to the guard: "Send it back to Chang'an at the station."

An hour later, both letters were folded and placed on King Teng's desk.

The family letter only reported safety, without punctuation.The secret papers reported to King Teng to build a palace on Yutai Mountain.It details the area occupied, the number of craftsmen, and a sketch is attached.There was no mention of the attack in the booklet.

King Teng smiled: "Still so smart. If you don't report anything, the emperor will be suspicious."

Ask the staff to seal it as it is, and then send it to the post station.

Mrs. Cen Si came to visit to inquire about the attitudes of Du Yansui and Cen Sanniang.Prince Teng's mansion is not easy to enter, but the four-bedroom old house is much more convenient.

Cen Sanniang greeted her personally at the second gate, and Mrs. Cen was relieved, and took her hand in with a smile on her face.

"Oh, I can't live in the main house, so why did you live in the cross courtyard?" The fourth lady had nothing to say, her tone was full of concern for Cen Sanniang.

The two sat down, and Ah Qiu and Feng Chun served tea and snacks.Cen Sanniang laughed and said, "I just came back to pay respects to my parents, so I won't be here for long. The main house is a fan, so I just keep it for Zhilin."

Now that Cen Zhilin has grown up and has adopted the fourth family, the ranking can no longer be compared with the descendants of the third family.Cen Sanniang simply called his name.

After hearing this, the fourth lady felt relieved.In her heart, Cen Zhilin was her own son, and he didn't take adoption seriously at all.Cen Sanniang likes her son, and has no objection to handing over the property of Sifang to Cen Zhilin.The Fourth Madam treated her more affectionately: "I have some good news for you. Brother Jiu will arrive in Longzhou tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Really?" Cen Sanniang was really happy.She and Du Yansui planned to live in Longzhou for a month before leaving, and she thought it was hard to pass the time.Unexpectedly, Cen Zhilin came back from Songshan Academy.

"Zhilin should be 12 years old this year, right?" Cen Sanniang remembered that she was five years older than Cen Zhilin.Recalling the dragon boat watching at the Dragon Boat Festival that year, the seven-year-old Cen Zhilin quietly gave her five taels of silver to compete, and Cen Sanniang felt extremely warm in her heart.

The fourth lady hadn't seen her son for a long time, and she was also full of joy: "Yes, the old lady misses him too, and she ordered a dust banquet for him earlier, and would like to invite you to come over and have a sit."

Cen Sanniang didn't want to walk around with Sanfang, and the smile on her face gradually faded: "I have to ask the Duke what he means about this matter. Aunt Tang, you also know that my family... has a big temper."

The fourth lady remembered that Cen Sanniang had just had a quarrel with Du Yansui, and she had just reconciled, so she didn't dare to persuade her again: "The Duke is the head of the house, you have to ask him."

Cen Sanniang changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I know that Lin and the side concubine are still brothers and sisters. The side concubine loves her brother eagerly, and the prince dotes on her. If we meet again... Aunt Tang, I don't think I will do it this time." Good to go."

The Fourth Madam immediately remembered that Du Yansui kicked King Teng into the lake, and she was startled: "Aunt Tang didn't think carefully. Hey, you see, Brother Nine has adopted the Fourth Household, so he belongs to the Fourth Household." Aunt Tang even forgot that Liu Niang and him are still siblings."

She immediately remembered that when she came to the four-bedroom old house today, the eldest lady asked that the house was too busy, so she entrusted herself with the invitation.She also patted her chest and said that she would definitely coax Cen Sanniang to come to the banquet happily.

Only then did the fourth lady react.The eldest lady had expected that Cen Sanniang would refuse because of Liuniang's relationship.It's no wonder that the eldest lady quickly gave her the good thing about being friends with the Duke's mansion.She was annoyed and hated.After thinking about it again, Liu Niang is her daughter, and Jiu Geer is adopted by Cen San Niang as her younger brother. She doesn't need to do anything, she is related to Prince Teng's Mansion Du Guogong's Mansion.What is the big lady's ridicule.

Fourth Madam became happy again, and said with a smile: "Let Brother Nine move over to talk with you later."

Cen Sanniang knew the temperament of the Fourth Madam.Ask A Qiudan to take a box for her: "You are Zhilin's biological mother, so you are different from others. This is my niece's honor to you alone."

The fourth lady opened the box and saw that it was a pure gold and ruby-mounted phoenix Bu Yao.The body of the hairpin is a hollowed-out Zhai bird with three phoenix tails, holding a string of five strings of gems the size of rice grains in its mouth.Not much gold is used, but the workmanship is exquisite.The fourth wife fell in love with her at first sight.

Cen Sanniang said softly: "In the future, the property of Sifang will be owned by Zhilin. Although he will not take over until he is 16 years old, Aunt Tang should help him inquire about it. It is good to know. If Aunt Tang doesn't see For the account, you can go to the second sister-in-law for advice. The second sister-in-law is from the Zou family, and she has been able to make plans since she was a child."

That's right, the property of the fourth bedroom is managed by the eldest lady, and the eldest lady is in charge of the accounts.She should keep an eye on it, lest her son take an empty shell.Just worried that the cow could not find a place to eat the pumpkin, and was suddenly awakened by Cen Sanniang.Zou's family is a businessman, so she must know how to read accounts.Zou, the second cousin's daughter-in-law, returned to her hometown in Longzhou with her husband and second wife.Du Guogong's younger sister married Zou's eldest brother.With this kind of relationship, Mrs. Zou will definitely help.

But there are many people who know how to read accounts, so they don't necessarily have to look for Mrs. Zou.

The fourth lady suddenly became smarter now.

The second room lost power.The second uncle was demoted and sent to Youzhou.The old lady who usually favors the second wife the most is much colder towards the second wife's family.Among other things, Erfang's family has lived in Chang'an for many years, and they have long been unaccustomed to Longzhou's food.The second wife was depressed all day long.Cen Zhibai didn't have a serious errand, so he ate at home.The Zou family was also from a businessman's family, and was not welcomed by the old lady, making life even more difficult.Cen Sanniang was reminding herself to take the opportunity to win over and take care of the second bedroom, so that the eldest lady would not watch the dishes.

The third master's family is still in office.The old house is now decided by the old lady and the old man.Sifang and Erfang were already bullied, and if they could join forces with Erfang, life would be easier for the multiple allies.

Fourth Madam smiled and patted Cen Sanniang's hand and said, "Don't worry!"

Excitedly holding the box to go.

After the fourth lady left, Cen Sanniang couldn't help but laugh.

Returning to Longzhou from Songshan Academy is not much closer than Chang'an.Not half a month after she came back, Cen Zhilin rushed back.

The Cen's family in Prince Teng's mansion could not be approached. Du Yansui and Cen Sanniang lived in a four-bedroom old house, so there were many opportunities to move around.Cen Zhilin came back so quickly, presumably when she received a letter from Cen Sanniang saying that she was going back to Longzhou to worship her parents, the old lady wrote a letter to let Cen Zhilin come back.

Besides Zou, who else can win over Cen Sanniang better than Cen Zhilin?

Cen Sanniang admired the old lady's scheming.

Talking to Du Yansui in the evening, Du Yansui scratched her nose: "You remind Aunt Sitang to keep an eye on Sifang's property, and remind her that Mrs. Zou will look at the accounts. What are you thinking?"

Cen Sanniang confessed frankly: "Zhilin treats me well. I gave him all of Sifang's property, and I have no complaints at all. I am on good terms with Siniang. Her parents and my cousin deceived me to go to Hongzhou at the time. I don’t care about it. But Sanfang can’t take advantage of Sifang’s property. Point out Mrs. Zou, and with Aunt Sitang’s IQ, I guess once she goes back, the old lady will be able to ask a bamboo tube to pour beans. Tang Grandmother must be regretful, why did she send Aunt Sitang here, it is obvious that Mrs. Zou is closer to our family. The day we came, we went to Sanfang for a banquet, Mrs. Zou saw me with red eye circles, she must have been wronged. Zou Yuanwai and Zou Dalang entrusted their daughter to us, and for Yan Wan’s sake, we have to help Mrs. Zou. It’s hard to talk to the third room, so I can only find a way to get the old lady to take the initiative to order her to come.”

Du Yansui sighed: "I really don't know how a woman's heart grows. It goes around and around. The property of the fourth house is just used to beat the third house. Your ultimate goal is to make Mrs. Zou come to talk."

Cen Sanniang beat him up: "Can I get around you with all the twists and turns in my stomach? Only you know in your heart whether you are cooperating with King Teng or taking precautions."

Du Yansui leaned over to kiss her: "San Niang, do you want a son or a daughter?"

Knowing that he interrupted and didn't want to talk about it, Cen Sanniang also felt that it was too unromantic to always discuss national affairs with Du Yansui, so she looked up at his reaction proudly.

Du Yansui smiled boredly, and clasped her hand above her head.

Before she could speak, he lowered his head and covered her lips, and within a cup of tea, Cen Sanniang was aroused and moaned uncontrollably.

In the past few days, Cen Sanniang took Mother Fang and the others to decorate the main courtyard in person.

Seeing that Du Yansui felt sour in his heart.Deliberately show Cen Zhilin a dismount.

Cen Sanniang was thinking that she didn't expect Cen Zhilin to come back, so she didn't prepare a gift for him.I'm planning to hit the streets to buy some sets of ready-to-wear shoes and socks.The concierge came to report that Mrs. Zou had brought Bao'er.

The cousin was very knowledgeable and interesting, and immediately sent Mrs. Zou over.Cen Sanniang ordered tea to be served on the porch in the back garden.

On one side of the back garden is the embroidered building, and on the other side is a very spacious tall wooden corridor.The floor under the corridor was washed clean and covered with white reed mats.Then spread brocade mats and place short tables.The sun warmed the cushion, leaning against the lead pillow.Drink tea, eat snacks, enjoy flowers and chat, quiet and comfortable.
