Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 535, just look at Brother Ying.

In the end, Luan Jing didn't wake up Guisheng to scold him. There are nobles in the family, so Brother Ying's affairs are the top priority. Although Brother Ying is already able to do things, but as a father, he has to be with him. This capable son has brought him too much The glory, must not be neglected.

Because of this, Brother Ying was one year younger, and he was still entertaining guests at midnight, while Guisheng, who was one year older, fell asleep. This made Luan Jing come out of the study and curse: "You prodigal son."

The reddish candlelight mixed with the yellow halo of the firewood, as if a strange flower was blooming from the kitchen. Only one of the two temporary kitchens was still on fire, and the big kitchen in Nanyang Hou Mansion was still serving food. This kitchen was Gao Xiang’s. Managed.

Tang Baoer was willing to stay with her, but Gao Xiang and the other girls said that she was newly engaged and it was not easy to work until midnight, so they made a few jokes about Tang Baoer, thinking that she should go home to avoid embarrassment, so Tang Baoer followed the elders unceremoniously Leaving, before leaving, maybe you can have a meal and present jewelry.

Not all the girls were allowed to stay outside with the permission of their families. After Tang Baoer came home, they also went home one after another. There was a kitchen that could no longer be used, but most of the guests left, or most of them fell down.

After all, there would not be too many people who stabbed farewell in front of King Wei, most of them were able to drink with the princes in the same room, and they ate too much wine under the excitement.

The ancestors of the Nanyang Marquis Mansion must have been glorious, otherwise, how could they be named marquises? It is not difficult to clean up the rest of the girls' beds at home, but Yanyan did not do this, because the Luan family has no girls, only two young masters. It is inconvenient to stay overnight, and things like avoiding suspicion can sometimes be ignored, and sometimes they must be rigorous in every corner.

The rest of the girls went back home and planned to stay overnight at Gao's house. There were two girls in Gao's house, and the embroidery room was ready-made. Luan Ying, Yunlong and He Jie would send them to Gao's house. Take it along the way.

At this time, there are about thirty people in this kitchen, some of them met Luan Ying for the first time, just like Lin Lang's marriage, the cousin fell in love with you, because the cousin took you out to play, and fell in love when you saw her, The status of the cousin's family is still far from going directly to the princess's mansion to pay her respects, but it's fine for the cousin to take her out to play.

Wen Zhuangyuan Wu Tanhua's name was so famous that it spread throughout the capital while Luan Ying was recuperating from her injuries. When she went down to the ring to applaud her cousins ​​and cousins, they took it for granted that they came to have a thank you banquet.But the girl who didn't follow to applaud under the ring, when she heard her cousin's narration with relish, if the sisters had a good relationship and wanted to see the appearance of Wen Zhuangyuan Wu Tanhua, there would be a cousin who would bring it.

These girls who made friends for the first time were spoiled at home, and the family allowed them to stay in Gao's house, so it was logical to be the last cook.

Are there any girls here who are not good at cooking? There are a few, but it doesn't matter if they don't know how to cook. Even after learning, some girls are willing to stay until now.

In addition, it would be great if Brother Jie came to show his hospitality.

He Jie was learning from a duck, flapping his hands left and right as he made wings, bent his knees and half squatted, and walked with the duck: "quack, quack."

Gao Xiang covered his stomach with a smile: "It's not good, it's a frog that croaks."

"Quack, quack," He Jie stretched his neck, and his arms shook even more violently.

There was laughter in the kitchen.

He Jie stopped: "Don't be sleepy, hurry up and cook, I'm here to serve the food, not to coax you."

Gao Qing picked up the shovel: "Listen to me, beat him, let him learn a few more things."

"Hit him, hit him."

In the midst of a pile of spatulas, soup spoons and sieves, He Jie trotted out and met face to face with Luan Jing who was eavesdropping outside the kitchen.

He Jie stopped, blushing and not panting: "Uncle, do you want to urge the food?"

He Jie didn't have much evil power towards Luan Jing. After he was born, sometimes when he went back to the shop, Luan Jing was kind and polite to him. He Jie was young, so he didn't realize that there was awe in his politeness, and Luan Jing was the same with Luan Ying.

Just like Madam Hou of Nanyang treated Luan Ying well since she was a child, Luan Ying was also affectionate to her grandparents.

People, can they change their minds, they can.

However, if there was a life lawsuit or a serious crime in the past, it was still his responsibility when such an incident happened.

Luan Jing was not restrained when facing He Jie: "I don't rush food, I want to ask you if you have eaten your supper, don't be too tired."

"It's okay, Uncle, let's go rest, the sisters will guard the kitchen so they won't forget to eat supper." He Jieman replied indifferently.

The girls in the kitchen shouted, "Where did Brother Jie go, there are still dishes that haven't been washed."

Luan Jing rolled up his sleeves: "It's full of girls, it's not easy for me to go in, Brother Jie, I see there are still vegetables piled up in the yard, I'll wash which ones need to be washed."

He Jie said: "Don't worry about it, I have to wash it, this dish will be delicious when it goes to the pot, otherwise the cooks may go on strike, these are sisters, they will have a hard time if they don't bully me."

He promised: "Put the basin in place, pour the water in place, prepare some hot water, choose the dishes, and I'll come." With another swift gesture, he rushed back to the kitchen.

Inside laughed again: "Close the door, go carefully, brother Jie, quickly learn from a big bear, and then learn how to fly a stupid bird. The dishes are all washed."

Luan Jing left with a smile, walked a distance, looked back at the kitchen, seemed to be able to hear the laughter, and said to himself: "This is also a boy."

This is someone else's youth, which is the opposite of his youth. Thinking of this, Luan Jing wanted to scold Gui Sheng, the son who followed him: "Prodigal son."

The girls and boys in other families are still busy, why are you sleeping?
He went to thank Mrs. Luo in the big kitchen, and Mrs. Luo also let him rest in turn, saying that he must be tired after a busy day. Luan Jing was very grateful, and went back to the main room, telling his parents to rest assured that there was Brother Jie in the kitchen. Take care, Brother Long is also helping, and Mother Luo is in the kitchen. It is difficult for the Marquis of Nanyang not to ask where Guisheng is. I heard that he is asleep and his complexion is not good. But today is a good day, not only for Luan Ying, but also for the family. Yes, he only raised his glass to touch the Marquis of Qinghe and Marquis of Linjiang.

Indifferently said: "The guests are still here, as the host, you should not rest."

Marquis Linjiang had a good relationship with them, and he was really happy for the Luan family, he hurriedly said: "Only look at Brother Ying, only Brother Ying."

Nanyang Hou laughed: "Just look at Brother Ying."

When Yun Zhan and Gao Mingying left, half an hour after the curfew started, the curfew didn't work for these two, and they went home as they wanted.

Except for some people staying in the Nanyang Marquis Mansion, the rest were taken by Yun Zhan to live in the Duke Huguo Mansion. According to Yan Yan's instructions, Luan Jing gave each person 20 taels as a gift, which won a lot of thanks.

Bai Shu and the others came out from the East Garden. It turned out that they hadn't left yet and were waiting to see off their fiancée. The girls got on the carriage, and the rest got on the horse. The sleeping Gao Xiaosan was carried into the carriage with the bedding, and continued to sleep soundly.

Send Gao Mingying and the girls to Gao's house first, and then send Yun Zhan and the boys to Duke Huguo's mansion. When the corner gate can be seen, Yun Zhan said to Luan Ying: "Okay, you hurry home, and you can clean up tomorrow. Give you a few more days off."

Luan Ying jumped off the horse and went to Yun Zhan's horse, leaned over and hugged him around the waist, playing coquettishly.

Just as Yun Zhan was about to ask He Jie where he was sleeping, He Jie also got off his horse and came over. He leaned over and put his head into Yun Zhan's hand. He was very happy to snatch more: "I will go back with my brother, otherwise he will be alone." How cool it is to go back."

Brother Jie is the beloved younger brother, Luan Ying and Yunlong laugh and never blame him for competing for favor.

Feeling the warm embrace and forehead of the children, Yun Zhan secretly lamented how time flies and the children have grown up. He said, "Then you go back with your brother, and I will give you a few days off as usual."

"Uncle, rest early."

As Luan Ying and He Jie spoke, they greeted Yunlong again, and the two of them led Luan Tailewang back on horseback, and went to rest in the East Garden.

The next day, Marquis Luanjing of Nanyang had a holiday. The father and son got up, first taught Guisheng a lesson, and then packed up the household utensils, some wiped and sent back, and there was a mountain of dishes to urge the family to wash, or return or return. Enter the warehouse, prepare a rich breakfast for the guests staying overnight, and Mrs. Nanyang Hou checks the entered gifts and outgoing expenses.

Not to disturb Dong Yuan, Luan Ying and He Jie woke up on time early in the morning. Hearing that his grandparents were still letting him sleep, he slept peacefully until noon.

There are too many presents in the account, Mrs. Nanyang Hou said that she can't finish checking today, and she will send them tomorrow. Yanyan prepares meals in the afternoon, and please thank the whole family for dinner.

Brother Ying, whose grandparents can't stop talking about him, is a good grandson. Guisheng is already used to lying down. Whatever the elders say, his life is still hard anyway. If the elders don't talk about him, he will inevitably be forced to read and write.

One thing is good, Luan Ying is engaged, Gui Sheng is very relieved, and also thinks that this is a good brother, he really does not want to steal away his sister.

Mrs. Nanyang Hou continued to check after dinner, and she was stunned when she saw the end. Nanyang Hou took care of Guisheng's study until he got up, and handed it to Luan Jing to come back early to rest. Then he saw his wife staying under the candlelight, seeing that the stiff posture was not the same as before. Nanyang Hou was taken aback: "Are you sick?"

Mrs. Nanyang Hou came back to her senses: "Look, the storeroom at home is more than half full, so there is no need to do things for the New Year."

The Marquis of Nanyang didn't believe it, so he came to see it for himself, and opened his mouth after a few glances: "Wei Wang's Mansion, Su Wang's Mansion, and Jincheng County's Mansion, don't they send less than those sent by Huguo Gong's Mansion and He Dong's family?"

"Yeah, there were so many guests yesterday, but we left so many things in the end. This year is enough." Mrs. Nanyang Hou's eyes were red: "Just give birth to such a promising child, that's it."

Nanyang Hou rubbed his eyes, read it twice and it was still true, sighed and put down the ledger: "Don't worry about it, give it to Qi Shi and Brother Ying in cash, the family can't let their glory be in vain."

The next day I sent money to Yanyan, but Yanyan was not accepted by the rich man. Mrs. Nanyang Marquis was going to buy land, no matter how much it was, and put it under Brother Ying's name.In the afternoon, Yanyan came to see her mother-in-law, and told her that the servants of several families who came to help, the Luanjing family of Qinghehoufu, Linjianghoufu, etc., each master gave a gift, and the other 1000 taels of silver, the servants of the family A total of 1000 taels of silver will be rewarded.

He also said to send Luan Ying away, and he was about to send it away.

Sure enough, I left gifts for my parents-in-law, and there were also gifts for Feng and Guisheng. Ma Wen and Wu Si were carrying firewood and washing vegetables in the snow. money for school.

The people who received it all praised Qi's generosity and decency, saying that Luan Ying is a talented person, which cannot be separated from her mother's good moral character.

Feng did the math, and Yingyingchuo felt that Yanyan spent close to one million a day. The golden flowers, the brocade covering the garden and the bonsai flowers were quite a large sum of money.

Yanyan didn't care about it, she was busy asking the goldsmiths to make gold flowers again, and urged the girls to draw the shape of the flowers and send them to the goldsmiths. It was almost the twelfth lunar month, and some of the goldsmiths went home for the New Year, which caused a lot of trouble in Beijing. Goldsmiths' wages and gold jewelry prices have fluctuated, but it didn't affect her that Yanyan was a big customer.

When the imperial decree came down, Nanyanghou was still surprised. The imperial decree only reprimanded Yun Zhan and Gao Mingying for disrupting the curfew, but did not mention the extravagant expenses of the Luan family within a day. Nanyanghou continued to keep the reasons he had prepared in mind.

Worried about future troubles, he spent money to inquire in the palace. It turned out that the censor did impeach Luan's family for extravagance, but Tang Zexian received the flower bonsai from Jinshang, and he ignored it.

Unwilling to give up on impeaching the censor, Tang Ze called Jindu censor and asked him: "Luan Ying grew up in front of the princess, and his mother had money in her hands. Who can have the literary champion Wu Tanhua? His mother Qi's Willing to spend money, as long as it is clean, isn’t that okay? There are countless wealthy households in the country, and they can’t spend money?”

Du Yushi said that of course it can be spent, and the matter passed like this.

The Marquis of Nanyang's heart is like a mirror, and when it comes to Princess Dayi, the emperor puts filial piety first.

If it were an unlucky wealthy family, even if they invited princes and county kings, excessive spending would be a minor or serious crime.

Brother Ying is a child of great fortune, as expected.
