Chapter 184 as a person
Po Ling walked in and whispered to Yi Cai, who was writing, "Girl, I just saw that the third master's aunt went to the ancestral hall."
Yicai didn't say anything and continued to write. Seeing that her girl didn't say anything, Fu Ling came forward and whispered, "I heard the passing woman say that the aunt seemed to have been punished by the third lady."
Yi Cai raised her head, "Did you hear it correctly? Was it punished by the third lady?
"I didn't know until I inquired carefully. I was indeed punished by the third lady."
Yica put down the pen and said, "Do you know why?"
"I heard that it seems that the aunt was late to set the rules."
Yicai looked at Fuling, "Is that why?"
"I heard the aunt's little girl complain in a low voice because the third master slept with the aunt last night, and the aunt made the rules and went late, so the third husband was the one who punished."
Yicai sat down, picked up the tea and took a sip. It seems that this third cousin-in-law is indeed a powerful figure. She didn't care about her notoriety at all and punished her aunt who had just got some attention. She just suppressed her aunt's interest and showed it to other aunts. Yicai gently lifted the tea in the cup with the lid of the cup. He clearly looked at what the third cousin sister-in-law had done in the past few days. The third cousin-in-law was a favored daughter-in-law, and in the third cousin's place, she was a very decent wife. In her aunt, she was a majestic main room. It's the first time I've met such an exquisite person.
Fuling said again, "Girl, I listened to you and showed my goodwill to the girls in several rooms, but the girl of the third lady is the only one who returns my benefits."
It turned out that Yicai made Fu Ling intend to get close to the girls in several rooms. First, she wanted to make a good impression, and on the other, Yicai also had some small plans. The girls know the most about what happened in each room, and they can't be underestimated. Sometimes the success or failure of things are all in the words of these girls. So as long as she gets closer to them and is not afraid of any wind in the future, she doesn't know at all. After all, living in someone's yard can't be as blind as a fool. The highest flattery is unnoticed.
After listening to Fuling's words, Yicai frowned. It seemed that the third cousin-in-law was really rigorous in treating her yard. That is, it didn't hurt the face of my girl, and I didn't let the girls owe them any favor. The more he thought so, the more Yicai felt that Yingchun was the smartest person in this house.
Yicai vaguely thought that if she married to the Wang family, she could also become a woman like the third cousin sister-in-law.
In the spring, take Sizhu and Huaijiao to the garden to pick flowers. Huaijiao walked and said, "Madam, Mrs. Wang said that peach blossom cake and apricot cake are delicious, and now is the best time to pick peach blossoms and apricot blossoms."
Yingchun smiled and said, "I want to make some flower cakes for Yu Ling and Brother Pu, and send some to Brother Tao and Brother Ji. Naturally, children like it. Thinking about Brother Ji's little appearance that day, I want to laugh.
Si Zhu smiled and said, "If you like children, you might as well give birth to one by yourself. At that time, you can hug and kiss if you want."
Yingchun blushed and spat Si Zhu: "You have less mouths and think about these all day long. No wonder no one has proposed marriage to you to me."
Si Zhu was embarrassed to hear this and lowered his head and stopped talking.
The master and servant walked to a vine in the north corner of the garden and saw someone sitting under the vine reading from afar. Yingchun stopped. Si Zhu looked carefully and whispered to Yingchun, "It seems to be a big son."
I heard that Sun Chengtao gently walked to the vines in the spring. Sun Chengtao also heard footsteps and raised his head. Seeing that it was spring, he quickly stood up to salute the spring.
Yingchun smiled and said, "Why doesn't Brother Tao go to school today?"
Sun Chengtao blushed and bowed back and said, "Sir, I have asked for leave. My father hasn't found a suitable husband yet, so I'll read by myself first."
Yingchun smiled, "Then why don't you look in the room?"
Sun Chengtao was a little embarrassed. "The girls pour tea in a moment, or take snacks and shake around. It's better to be quiet here."
Yingchun nodded and looked at Sun Chengtao, who already looked like an adult. He praised him in his heart, but said, "Then don't disturb Brother Tao's reading."
Yingchun took the girls away.
After Yingchun, Sizhu and Huaijiao picked apricot blossoms and peach blossoms and returned to the yard. Yingchun took a sip of tea and ordered Huaijiao to give the flowers to Wang Gui's family in the kitchen. He leaned against the kang and asked Si Zhu, "Do you have any news from Brother Pu'er these days?"
Si Zhu shook his head, "The former son Xiao Cui quietly asked Xiao Shitou. Xiao Shi said that the second son had gone to listen to some lectures with the eldest son. Later, the second son asked for leave, and the second son was only in his room, or went to the old lady's place. Even the second son was in his room, he also played with Xiaoshi and other little guys, and he didn't read or write.
Yingchun sighed, "It would be better if Pu'er could work as hard as Tao Geer. In this way, I indulge my studies and have no desire to make progress. If I continue for a long time, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to make a difference in my career in the future.
Si Zhu can't say anything, so he can only stand aside.
Sun Shaozu sat in the government, and someone came in and reported that a little guy from the tea house came to see Sun Shaozu. As soon as Sun Shaozu heard about the tea house, he immediately asked someone to bring the little guy in. A 14 or 15-year-old boy was brought in. He saw that Sun Shaozu was a little scared. Sun Shaozu waved his hand and asked, "What's the matter?"
The little guy gave a letter to Sun Shaozu. Sun Shaozu saw a letter and asked him to take him out. Then Sun Shaozu did not read the letter and directly held the letter in his arms.
Sun Shaozu got off the government office and went back to Sun's house. He did not go directly to Yingchun, but to the small study. Since Luo Yi was scolded by Sun Shaozu last time, he no longer dared to run up to serve Sun Shaozu. Sun Shaozu asked Houpu to stay outside the door of the small study and closed the door of the small study by himself. Sun Shaozu took out a letter in his arms and saw the letter saying: The flower tea has not arrived yet. Please wait for a few more days.
Under Sun Shaozu's bookcase, it was gently opened, and there was a dark grid inside. Sun Shaozu took back a small bottle from the dark compartment, opened the bottle, and slowly poured some powder on the letter little by little. Then Sun Shaozu turned on the lamp and took the letter and powder to the fire, and the handwriting on the letter changed.
Sun Shaozu quickly looked at the small words above: Pay attention to Yuanfei and investigate. After reading it, Sun Shaozu thought about it again and lowered his head. The handwriting on the letter was all over. Sun Shaozu led the letter to the lamp, and the fire lit a corner of the letter. Before long, a piece of paper turned into ashes. Sun Shaozu stepped on a ball of paper ash with his feet.
Sun Shaozu stood up and looked at the grid of the bookshelf. He walked over, took away and said, took out the black box from inside, and took out the handkerchief again. Sun Shaozu looked at the veil and felt uncomfortable again. He stuffed the veil into the cuffs, then opened the door and said to Hou Pu, "Clean the small study."
Houpu answered and began to clean the small study.
