Qing Dynasty Crossover

Chapter 142
Back at the Viscount's Mansion, Qi Luo and Mrs. Dong let out a sigh of relief. Seeing the somewhat tired master, Zhao Mammy hurriedly ordered the maids to serve tea and snacks.Then he asked with concern, "Ma'am, someone gave you a look? If there are so many people who don't know the importance, don't take it to heart. The master's clan is a big one, and there have been queens and concubines. It’s all high-sighted.”

Dong put down the teacup and sighed, "I'd rather they show me some face, so that it would be easier to refuse, but how can our government get involved in this situation without knowing the seriousness?"

Qi Luo went on to say, "Mother Zhao, ever since I, Ama, was able to go to worship the ancestors, I think the servants in our mansion are a little flirtatious and flamboyant. This is not a sign. Ama can have such a title because of the emperor's favor. , returning to the clan is naturally a happy event, but we are side branches after all, so we should be more cautious and low-key. Take the time to talk to each of the stewards, to properly restrain the servants in the mansion, or follow the previous rules, in case Don't be arrogant and indulgent. If something goes wrong, Er Niang and I will never tolerate it lightly."

Zhao Nanny nodded again and again and said, "Girl, don't worry, slaves must be restrained, and they will definitely not cause trouble for the master, not to mention the rules set by those girls, these girls and women will be honest. "

Qi Luo nodded and said, "I believe in you, Mother Zhao, we should pay more attention to some things, we can't see the following things, and you are trustworthy by Er Niang, so I need you to bother."

Dong Shi saw Ling Zhu who had been silent since he came back and only knew to drink tea, and told Madam Zhao, "Just do as Qi Luo said, you guys go down first."

Mother Zhao retreated with the girls, and closed the door considerately.Qi Luo stepped forward and rubbed Ling Zhu's shoulders and asked with concern, "Ama, did they say anything? You look quite shocked."

Ling Zhu sighed and said, "If they said something, it would be easier to solve. The most important thing is that they always talk about clan, relatives and so on. In short, what they say is nothing more than a reminder that I still have to worry about it." Those of the clan, stand on the same ground as them. If they are correct, it doesn’t matter, but if you know that there is a fire pit in front of you, you still want to jump into it, wouldn’t you be a fool?”

Qi Luo persuaded, "Ama, since you are not asked to stand in line, you can just deal with it on the surface and pretend to be confused. In fact, you are not that important. After a while, there will be more important things to keep them busy. It’s because our family has risen faster, but to put it bluntly, we’re just little people, if the emperor doesn’t favor us, no one will care about us.”

Ling Zhu nodded and said, "What you said makes some sense, let's take a look around, but Ah Ling is definitely not a simple character, he really deserves to be the hardcore eighth brother, he is very calculating in his affairs, he looks kind, But with hidden murderous intentions, it is better for us to avoid contact with their families, so as to avoid being caught by them when they see the flaws, so our brains are definitely not his opponents."

Mrs. Dong said softly, "How many simple people are here? Her wife keeps praising Qi Luo, isn't it because of your face? We have really protected our daughter so as not to be missed by those people." , after all, you are really famous for loving a daughter."

Ling Zhu patted Qi Luo's hand and said, "You have to be more cautious, just like what the fourth elder brother said, you are a little innocent, don't let others get involved. As for the future, I will never let these people do what they want, Even if you can't marry someone you like, you definitely can't marry those unlucky ones."

Qi Luo hugged Ling Zhu's neck coquettishly and said softly, "Ama, I don't have anyone I like yet? What's more, no one is more important than you."

For several days in a row, Ling Zhu's family guarded the gate of their own house, and they definitely would not easily make friends with the direct or offspring of the clan.Dong Shi and Qi Luo even stayed at home and would never go out easily.For those who are interested in the attitude of Ling Zhu's family, they have different opinions.Ling Zhu felt that he couldn't control other people's thoughts, so he did his own thing seriously as usual. As for the affairs of the court, Ling Zhu would never open his mouth easily.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Kangxi rewarded several close ministers with blessings written by him himself, but Ling Zhu was not among these ministers, and the first month was Kangxi's Pentecostal Longevity, Ling Zhu's birthday gift was just a rule Usually there is no novelty, and Kangxi's expression towards Ling Zhu is quite indifferent, so Ling Zhu's family is not so conspicuous.Seeing that Ling Zhu was showing signs of falling out of favor, there were more sarcastic remarks around him. Under this embarrassing situation, Ling Zhu handled the affairs of the former military camp as usual.However, Ling Zhu's family still made good friends with those families, and they didn't feel any panic because of their falling out of favor.

Wu Sidao once exclaimed to the fourth elder brother in private, "Fourth master, Ling Zhu can be regarded as a smart person!"This is the emperor tormenting him!Honor and disgrace are not surprising, and they are loyal, which can be of great use. Yinzhen didn't speak. In fact, he learned more about it through the sticky stick. All kinds of performances of Ling Zhu's family also calmed down his fluttering heart. The easier it is to have an accident, thinking of the metaphor of Ling Zhu's dolphin, Yin Zhen couldn't help but curl his mouth.

Yinzhen spent most of the first month resting at Fujin Nala's place, and Nala's solemn face couldn't help showing a little smile.After all, it is rare for Yinzhen to be able to rest in his own room. Although Yinzhen is still as cold as ever, and the intercourse between them is not frequent, Nala is still very satisfied.In front of those princes, Fujin, he straightened his back a bit, and he became more capable and dedicated in handling the affairs of the mansion.

When Nala was sorting out the gift list for the New Year's Day, she found the gift list from the Zhiyuan Viscount's Mansion, which surprised her. After all, Ling Zhu rarely made friends with the prince.Nala called the steward of the concierge, and after learning about the situation, he handed the gift list to Yinzhen when he came in the evening, "Master, this is an annual gift from Master Ling Zhu. , said to thank the Lord for saving the life of Lord Ling Zhu's wife and daughter. I looked at them as ordinary things, but it seems that Lord Ling Zhu only gave gifts to our house, and the other prince's houses didn't seem to give gifts! "

Yinzhen took the gift list and looked at it, they were indeed ordinary things, some porcelain antiques, and the most special ones were some Western books and objects.Thinking of Qi Luo's embarrassment in appreciating porcelain and antiques, Yin Zhen couldn't help showing a knowing smile, that girl really has no eyesight in this area!But seeing her frown and sad face when facing these antiques is still quite pity.Yinzhen has seen Qi Luo's expressions of pretending to be stupid, afraid, flattering, and calm, etc., but he thinks that what he remembers most is the expression of anticipation and frustration when she appreciates antiques. Added an indescribable charm.

Nala looked at Yinzhen who was looking happy, and said softly, "Master, did you think of anything happy?"

Yinzhen woke up immediately, and regained his former indifference, looked at the gift list and said, "This can be regarded as Lingzhu's heart, don't make too much of the gift he gave to our house, and when Lingzhu's wife and daughter celebrate their birthdays, you will also I need to make up some gifts."

Nala nodded, "Master, don't worry, I will be careful." Then he said shyly, "Master, it's getting late, you should arrange it earlier, don't you have to go to court tomorrow?" ?"

"You should take a break earlier. I still have some things to deal with. I will rest in the study today, so as not to disturb you back and forth. You have handled the affairs of the mansion very well, and I am very satisfied. If there are naughty and rebellious , must not be tolerated."

Looking at Yinzhen's leaving back, Nala sighed a little lonely, and her dowry mother next to her comforted softly, "Fu Jin, fourth master is doing important things, and the time to come to the inner house is not very long. With elder brother Honghui here, as long as you help fourth master to deal with the position of Fujin in the inner house, he will surely sit securely. What's more, fourth master is one of the princes with fewer side Fujin and Gege. You have always respected you, inner house It’s not up to you to decide what to do? Who can go past you?”

Nala's eyes flickered, and he nodded slowly and said, "I don't care what I said, but... just alas, I am not satisfied! But look at her prince's son Fujin, the fourth master still gave it to me. For the decent land of Fujin, people should cherish their blessings."

Yinzhen came to the study room, dealing with various official documents under the light of candlelight.When he finally put down his pen, he stretched his wrist and asked, "What time is it?"

Gao Fu said softly, "If you go back to the Lord, it is almost three o'clock now. There is still some time before the court, and the Lord should rest for a while."

Gao Fu personally served Yinzhen to rest. Lying on the bed, Yinzhen saw the Xuande stove in the bedroom, sighed and closed his eyes.

Ling Zhu and Qi Luo researched the annual ceremony for the fourth elder brother together. After all, the gift for him should not be too light or heavy, and it should not be too frivolous, so it took a lot of thinking. A sentence from Mrs. Shi woke them up, "The more you think about it, the harder it is to make a decision. Does he have anything? In fact, it is enough to send some ordinary things. The most important thing for us is to build a relationship with him, not to ask him to do something?" Ling Zhu and Qi Luo looked at each other and gave Dong a thumbs up at the same time.However, at the end Qi Luo still added some Western items and a few books about introducing Western firearms. Although I don’t know if the fourth elder brother will read it or not, Qi Luo feels that there is such a little chance and he should not let it go easily. After all, the fourth elder brother Brother is the future emperor!
