Inheritance policy

Chapter 17
After a stick of incense, the emotions of the four people in the main hall calmed down a lot.Mrs. Tai raised her voice to call out the girls, with Su Qing leading the way, and the little girls either carried warm water in a magpie sun-patterned copper basin, or carried a makeup powder veil on a black lacquer and gold tray, and walked in in small steps. Xing Zhao and Lian Yu re-washed and wiped their faces.

Mrs. Tai ordered two little maids to go to the East Wing to tidy up and put them away, and gave Zhang Mama a pair of cards to take Suqing and Lianyu to the warehouse to choose things.Leaning on the couch, flipping through a calendar book in his hand, with a pair of tortoiseshell glasses on the bridge of his nose, he was muttering: "The day after tomorrow is a good day, and it is advisable to move to the ground. The agreement with the Huang family is to go there on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. Dingguo Temple is offering incense, so I will go as soon as I move. I will tidy up the small garden tomorrow, and then ventilate it. If we want to move, we should try to move it before the end of the year."

Xing Zhao listened quietly, leaning on Mrs. Tai, nodding repeatedly.

Mrs. Tai counted with her fingers: "Today is the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. Let the servants pack up until the nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and move there. There is no need to move big things. You will always come to Rongshou Hall in the future. Miss. There should be two maids in the room, four second-class maids, and a mother in charge. You will live in the Rongshou Hall, and you will be mixed with the maids in my room, except for Lianyu Lianrong and Mama Wang. There is no second-class maid who is useless, so I have to choose another one."

Having said that, Mrs. Tai sighed, hugged Xingzhao, and said: "According to reason, how can we move in such a hurry? We have to invite someone to do the calculations, and we need to change the layout of the small garden. I know about you. How can you sit still when such a big thing happens. It’s better to move there earlier, and your mother’s heart will be at ease, and your heart will be at ease. Just one thing, Lord Hou will still be your father after all.”

If the previous words were reluctance, then the last sentence obviously brought some helplessness.Xing Zhao nodded solemnly, Da Zhou ruled the world with filial piety, allowed fathers to kill their sons, but did not allow children to be disobedient, regardless of whether the elders were right or not.

The grandparents and grandchildren were talking, when they saw Zhang's mother came in with someone lifting the curtain, holding a booklet in her hand, flipping through and singing: "The furniture in the small garden is complete, so I flipped through some in the library. Things to fill up the eight-treasure grid. A pair of Guangcai blue and white scatter-gold official kiln square dendrobium, a dense gold fairy bronze incense burner, and a cloisonné enamel arhat."

Mrs. Tai listened very carefully, nodded from time to time, and when Mama Zhang finished reading, she ordered: "Bring the twelve red coral and jasper nanmu screens in Curry to the fourth girl's town house, and then Chen Yunzhi's "" Don’t forget the white jade and red agate lotus-pattern waterdrop decoration in my room. They are all listed in the booklet. The fourth girl has always liked that decoration. Go ask the person in charge, Are there any young ladies aged twelve or thirteen in each family in the mansion, and there are still a few young maids in the fourth girl's room."

Phoebe is yang in nature, delicate and warm, and it is the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty to place nanmu pendants in the inner room to guard the house, but it is a bit too expensive to carry twelve nanmu screens, let alone a cluster of two feet Tall red coral trees, even this cluster of coral trees can be presented as tributes. "I took a look at the small garden. The main room is not too big, so I'm afraid that the screen won't fit in it." Everything else is easy to handle, and Zhang's mother is also a little embarrassed about the screen.

After hearing this, Mrs. Tai's face darkened, and she said, "Then change the yard. There is also a water pavilion in the main yard. I remember it is quite spacious."

Xing Zhao knew what Mrs. Tai meant, and now he suddenly moved back to the main courtyard without knowing it. Those who didn't understand thought that the fourth daughter of the He family had fallen out of favor.Moving the running water over, Mrs. He is showing the He family that the fourth girl is still important.

Xing Zhao couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. Mrs. Tai, who always puts the overall situation first and is rational and self-reliant, can still remember to protect her in small things at such a moment.

"Grandmother, don't be embarrassed. There is no need for a screen. There is also a pendant carved with nanmu branches in your house, and Ah Wu also likes it. With your smell, it just hangs in front of the bed. , call that picker a little demon, he won't be able to enter Ah Wu's dream easily." Xing Zhao said softly.

Mrs. Tai had heard this terrible thing in the morning, and the little granddaughter who had been raised by her since she was a child was about to move away again. She was under fire when she heard Xing Zhao's words and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, let the sprites and ghosts not get close. body."

Ms. Zhang laughed when she heard that, and she took a pen to write on the booklet, and said, "Then change it into a pendant! I just came here, and only Ms. Wang and Lianrong were in the East Wing. The two girls went over and said they would clean it up The cage scared the two of them a lot, and they didn't know if the midwinter cloak was still in order, so they entrusted me for advice."

Mrs. Tai understood it as soon as she heard it, and she moved the courtyard suddenly, scaring the people in the East Wing. She said: "Ah Wu, go back and calm down first, and give the servants an idea. When your mother comes to say hello tonight, I will take you Tell her about the early move, she can only be happy."

Xing Zhao nodded with a smile, got up to leave, and stepped out of the main hall with Lian Yu, when he heard Mrs. Tai's unintelligible words in the back room: "Linglong, Dexi who is serving by Lord Hou's side is your nephew, right? I remember him The errand is still your way. Tell him to come to Rongshoutang tonight, and I have something to tell him. He can tell clearly whether it is Rongshoutang or Houye. "

Xing Zhao looked down at the door that was about to be closed behind his eyes, and finally bent his mouth.

It was a big gamble to tell Mrs. Tai the whole thing.

Fortunately, she was right.

Even if Mrs. Tai doesn't like her mother, she doesn't want Yingyi to marry in this way, and Mrs. Tai is much more powerful than her.

In terms of emotion and reason, public and private, Mrs. Tai will not like Ying Yi.Yingyi wants to marry in, what will the eldest lady do, she will either be divorced or die.

Yu Qing, the eldest lady is the biological mother of He Xingjing and Xingzhao, Tai Furen values ​​her grandson and loves Xingzhao; Yu Li, the first-born grandson of He's family, the future biological mother of Marquis of Lin'an cannot be an abandoned woman divorced by the family; Yu Gong and He Fang are married, and this relationship will continue; Yu privately, Yingyi married the son of the Duke of Wei, and did not serve his in-laws, and had no children for a long time. After the son died, he quickly married his lover. Collusion, who would dare to have such a woman.

Lian Yu suddenly thought of something, and asked in a low voice: "If Lord Hou finds out that you told Mrs. Tai, how should father and daughter get along with each other?"

Xing Zhao's tone was a little light, and he said slowly: "So grandma will only let the person close to her closely follow father's whereabouts, instead of asking rashly. Where a person goes and what he does, there will always be traces to follow , when grandma asks a question and father can't answer, it's time to expose the truth. This has nothing to do with you and me."

The current situation has finally changed substantially. Mrs. Tai knows that she is going to move to the main courtyard to guard her mother. Does it mean that after working hard, the ending will definitely be different?

Xingzhao squeezed Lianyu's hand, finally there was some joy in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Lianyu, Mrs. Tai will not let her get what she wants."

She was naturally Ying Yi, Lian Yu nodded heavily, and said in her mouth: "When we go to the main courtyard, we will guard the eldest lady."

The East Wing is close to the main hall, but only a corridor away, and the master and servant will be there while they are talking.

Ms. Wang and Lian Rong were busy working in the wing room. Lian Rong had sharp eyes. Seeing Xing Zhao's return, she quickly came out to greet her: "Why are you going to move the yard after asking for an appointment today? I was shocked!"

Xing Zhao waved his hand and said vaguely: "Anyway, I have to move at the age of eight, and moving now is no different from moving in a few days. It happens that the library needs to be cleared at the end of the year. If you are in a hurry, you can simply move now."

As she talked, she saw that a cage had been put away in a few hours in the morning, and it was put away neatly. She felt relieved and said to Mama Wang: "You and Lian Rong will take care of it. It can be used for daily use." Take everything on the table with you, don’t move the decorations, just leave a few clothes outside.”

It was only then that Ms. Wang realized that Xingzhao had completely moved into her small courtyard. She agreed repeatedly, but she saw Lian Rong narrowing her eyes at Lian Yu and calling out, "What are you waiting for!" Ask Xing Zhao to rest in the warm pavilion, "I saw that the girl didn't sleep well yesterday, so I hurried to catch up on sleepiness, I can't hear the noise outside in the warm pavilion."

Xing Zhao was really exhausted after all this tossing, so he remembered and said to Lian Yu, "Go and have a rest too, the Nuan Pavilion doesn't want you to serve it."

Lianyu agreed repeatedly, but she still laid out the soft satin for Xingzhao first, covered Mrs. Tang, and watched Xingzhao fall into a deep sleep before leaving the Nuan Pavilion.

As soon as she got out of the Nuan Pavilion, she was dragged to the corner by Lian Rong, and she heard Lian Rong ask in a low voice, "What the hell are you and Fourth Miss doing?"
