"What's the problem? Since Zhilan saw it with her own eyes, let me see it too. I want to see how that woman bullied Xuan'er. I caught him right then, because Xuan'er deliberately covered up and indulged her. I don't think he has the face to tell me? It's decided like this. Ran Yun has been paying attention to Xuan'er's whereabouts in the past two days, and if he knows that he is going to Meiyue Tower, come and inform me immediately."
Finally, it was not in vain.
Xu Ranyun and Xue Zhilan were waiting for Mrs. Yang's words. Hearing the words, he was greatly relieved, and sneered in his heart: Madam's soft temper is true, I don't believe that when she sees grandma chasing her master like a dog chasing a chicken Ordinary bullying can still be tolerated. How can a mother tolerate such a useless son? At that time, Su Mengnuan, the grandma of the Hou Mansion, will be considered to have achieved her goal.
Duan Tingxuan was unaware of the conspiracy of his mother and the two daughters-in-law. The young master was very happy these days, although Su Nuannuan was not very friendly every time he went to Meiyuelou, and the husband and wife often exchanged words with each other. However, this unprecedented interaction made him experience a different kind of happiness. It turns out that there is not only a way of getting along with each other, but also a way of getting along without all emotional burdens. Everyone gets what they need equally, laughing and cursing, but the beauty of this taste is no less than the pleasure of two people.
So the young master likes to run to Meiyue Tower these days. Apart from the delicious food, it is because he is very relaxed and passionate after coming here, and he can argue with Su Nuannuan. During the scolding, punching and kicking, he vented all the bad emotions caused by intrigue throughout the day, even if he was the one who was beaten up most of the time.
There's no way, a good man doesn't fight a woman, he can't really fight a woman, can he? Especially since this woman is his lifeline now, without her, there would be no such delicacies. Even the old ancestors were bought by this woman's food, if she really wanted to beat Su Nuannuan, grandma would probably be the first to let him go.
It happened that there was nothing to do in the yamen that day, so he left early. When he got home, he saw the eunuch Zheng in the palace walking out. This is the Queen's confidant, and he was familiar with Duan Tingxuan. Seeing him, he trotted over to greet him. Duan Tingxuan laughed and said, "So it's Eunuch Zheng. What? The empress sent you to reward things again? What did you reward for?"
Zheng Wang said with a smile: "Yesterday, officials from Jiangnan weaving came to Beijing and paid tens of thousands of various interior cloths. Among them, there is a kind of cicada wing satin, which is breathable and cool. It is the best for making clothes in summer. However, the empress was thinking about the house, so today I sent a hundred horses from the miscellaneous house, besides that, there were also some other high-quality brocades, snacks carefully prepared by the imperial dining room, and miscellaneous gadgets. "
Having said this, Zheng Wang's face showed a hint of worry, and he approached Duan Tingxuan and said, "Young Lord, is the old lady not feeling well these days?"
"Why did Eunuch Zheng say that?" Duan Tingxuan asked suspiciously, wondering if grandma is not good? No way? Last night, I had a fierce fight with me over snowy bean paste. I only ate three of them on a plate, and her old man swallowed the remaining seven. How did Eunuch Zheng see that his grandmother was not good? Could it be that my grandson is too careless
Just thinking about it, Zheng Wang whispered: "The old lady likes sweets and snacks, so even if the empress does not reward things, she will send someone to deliver some snacks every now and then. Every time the old lady sees it, I want to taste a few pieces immediately, and even boast a few words in front of people. But today when the old man saw these dim sums, he let the girls put them there without taking a bite, so the miscellaneous family is really worried, young master, you I know, the empress is filial and pious, if you know that the old lady is not feeling well, you don't know how to worry."
"Hi! So that's the matter. Thank you for asking me. If someone else asks, I really don't know how big a shock it will be." Duan Tingxuan laughed as soon as he heard it, shook his folding fan a few times and said: "Don't worry, the old lady is not She doesn't feel well, but it's hot now, and she doesn't have much appetite. Besides, she happened to make dim sum at home last night. She is greedy and probably ate too much, so she doesn't want to touch those imperial dim sum today. You just report it to your mother when you go back. It’s just that the old lady likes it very much, so as not to worry about it.”
Zheng Wang smiled and said: "So that's the case, the miscellaneous family can rest assured. The old lady is in good health, and the empress will be at ease. The empress will be at ease, and we servants here will be blessed."
After speaking, he invited Zheng Wang into the hall to drink a few cups of tea, chatted some gossip, and left after Zheng Wang left. Here, Duan Tingxuan hurried to the North Courtyard, and heard Siping next to him wondering: "Why are you in a hurry? The materials that the empress rewarded, you can't leave the two grandma and aunts behind, and you need to fight for them. Is it? Let the second master and the second grandma know, and they will talk in front of Lord Hou again, and this matter will indeed drop in price. "
Duan Tingxuan couldn't help being stunned for a moment when he heard the words, he was a little surprised by his own thoughts, why did he first think of that fierce tigress in Meiyue Tower when he heard that there were good fabrics? The beauties beside him forgot all about it at this moment, it shouldn't be, it's not normal, what happened to him
But the young master didn't struggle with it for too long, smart people are always good at finding reasons for themselves. Immediately, he gave Siping a sideways look, and snorted coldly: "You bastard, you only think about the two grandmas and aunts? The food your grandma feeds you these days is not as good as feeding a dog. The dog knows what to eat. Wagging his tail."
Siping was also dumbfounded, and said, "So... so the master is going to grab the fabric for Grandma?"
"What is robbing? The empress is my aunt, and the things she rewarded have a share of Nuannuan. Nuannuan is still my wife, but Meiyuelou is too far away from the North Courtyard, so I went there." Help her take her share and send it over."
Duan Tingxuan spoke brazenly, but under Siping's stunned gaze, the cheeky young master finally couldn't resist, and said angrily: "What kind of eyes are you? Huh? Yes, Nuan Nuan is like an abandoned woman now, but After all, she is still the grandma in name, right? Besides, don’t you see what their masters and servants are wearing?” Speaking of this, he changed his tone of earnestness and said in a deep voice: “Siping, people must be kind, and they must be kind. Have compassion, see ragged beggars on the street, I will give them a few dollars, after all, your grandma and I are husband and wife, a couple a day, a hundred days of grace, you say, I can watch them whole Do you just wear a few coarse clothes during the day and ignore them?"
"No." Siping nodded resolutely, trying to suppress the feeling of wanting to vomit: Damn, don't you feel a toothache when you say this? If the eldest grandma was here, she would surely murder her husband, do you believe it or not
Of course, I absolutely dare not speak out what is in my heart. Duan Tingxuan over there was probably a little embarrassed, coughed and said: "As for the others, do I need to help them get the fabric? I'm afraid I've picked the one I like and brought it back, so I don't need it at all. Worry. Only Nuan Nuan, now it’s getting harder and harder to eat something good from her, huh! I use those few dishes every day to fool me. The ingredients piled up half of the kitchen, you can see the ingredients I can't impress this tigress anymore, so I have to find another way, and in this case, the fabric must be more attractive than the ingredients, isn't it?"
"Yes, Master Yingming." Siping raised his head slightly to look at the sky: "Actually, this is the truth of the master, right? Those couples who love each other for a day are just random reasons, right?"
Duan Tingxuan squinted at Siping: "Are you courting death? Don't you know that some truths cannot be told?"
"Yes, the slave is talkative." Siping slapped his face lightly: "In the future, the slave must pay attention to training the art of speaking."
Duan Tingxuan was very satisfied with Siping's attitude of correcting his mistakes. He nodded and walked towards the north courtyard with his head held high, as if he was really a good husband regardless of previous suspicions. Believe it or not, Xiaohou Lord himself believed it.
Drinking the incense slices that Qiuling just delivered to her hand, Mrs. Fang smiled and looked at her grandson who was carefully picking out more than a hundred pieces of cloth, and sighed: "Although you are a romantic child, you never pay attention to these things. Even for a stunning beauty like Lan Er, I have never seen you seriously dress her up. Why did you suddenly think about it and take a good look at these fabrics? I said that your daughters-in-law's fabrics have already been picked up, and you are Who did you pick it for? It couldn’t be you, could it?”
Duan Tingxuan cast a mournful glance at Mrs. Fang: "Grandmother, are you asking the question knowingly? Since when did I plan for my grandson? Isn't it for this family that I have worked hard and calculated carefully..."
"I won't give you a piece of fabric if I pull it again."
"Who else can it be for? Nuannuan and their master and servant are three in Meiyuelou, and they haven't paid any income in the past few months. I think their clothes are old, so I picked some good materials for them." Duan Tingxuan stopped himself decisively. She flaunted it and sighed in her heart: the old lady is getting more and more difficult to fool, and recently she seldom has the identity of a grandmother in front of her. Could it be that she ate too many dim sum made by tigress and was infected by her? I've only heard that things resemble their masters. Could it be that this food also follows the master's temperament, and can subtly influence others? this is too scary.
The young master was accidentally frightened by his own brain hole, but then he thought: It's not right, speaking of Meiyuelou, I eat the most food, and I don't see me becoming unreliable. Well, an illusion, it really is an illusion.
Having settled down, Duan Tingxuan went back to work, picked up another lotus-colored thin satin embroidered with hibiscus twigs of the same color, compared it in the distance in front of him, nodded and said: "Nuan Nuan has a lively temperament, wearing this color can make her feel better." Add some calmness." As he spoke, he put the cloth aside.
