Chapter 85
At the end of spring and the solstice of Meng Xia, the tung flowers in Huatong courtyard are in full bloom.A light rain pattered, and mud was everywhere.

The rain falls from the eaves, forming a series of clear water lines, which is extremely cool.

"Buzzing..."

In the study room, after Mrs. Zhuo's baptism of the sounds of nature for a few days, the pungent little princess turned into a little lady, playing the strings intently and distinguishing the timbre.

The body of the piano vibrates, and the sound of the piano is loose, deep and distant, shocking.Accompanied by the sound of rain, it seems that the sound of all things in nature is in it.

Today, the second elder brother rested, and the sons and daughters in the mansion also rested, and the family enjoyed the happiness of the family.This is Yuan Zhao's suggestion, so today you don't need to go to Sanniang's Tanyan Pavilion to learn skills, you only need to practice in your own courtyard.

Beginners often have deficiencies and are out of tune.You can listen to the joy in your heart and enjoy yourself.

There was constant light rain outside, strings of beads were hanging from the eaves, maids and servants in the corridors were busy, shuttling through the courtyards like running water.

"My lord," the tortoise shell came in from the outside, "here comes the snack you asked for."

"Bring it in." Yuan Zhao said without raising his head.

She didn't move, and kept plucking the strings with her small hands, listening to the sounds of heaven.Hawksbill rushed behind and waved, Luo Yan and Wu Xi each came in with a food box, and maids Yin Zhu and Bi Huan put one on the table one by one.

The little master of Huatong Courtyard is the most worry-free, as the close servants don't have much work.

No, Lian Shang and Zhi Lan went to various courtyards early in the morning to chat with the little sisters and inquire about news outside the residence.

After the two maidservants set up snacks and soup, Huobi and Wuxi called the two maidservants to leave the study and waited outside the door.After the idlers dispersed, Yuan Zhaofang stopped, got up, came to the case and sniffed it vigorously, and praised:

"Smells so good! If you two can learn this skill, the Princess has nothing to ask for."

"Princess, please don't embarrass me," Luo Yan said helplessly, "My cooking skills are enough to fill my stomach. A good cook pays attention to talent, and his subordinates are really powerless."

Yuan Zhao giggled twice, not demanding.While eating, he listened to Luo Yan's low-pitched report:
"Master Hou has already recovered by seven or eight points, the seriousness of the injury is an illusion."

Just a few words contain a lot of content, summed up as: Zhu Shou is a formidable person.Being able to cheat under the noses of medical officials is truly incomparable.

Moreover, the medical officers of the Hou Mansion are no longer in the same group, and the senior medical officers are all on duty here, and the result is still: Hou Ye has been going to war for many years, and his body is covered with cuts and bruises.Accumulated internal and external injuries become poison and penetrate into the lungs, and you will fall when you see the wind.

The preliminary test of the martial arts test has been launched in various states and counties. If he wants to attend Meng Dong's palace test, he must recuperate quietly.

After His Majesty learned about it, he sent a chief medical officer to the Hou's Mansion to prepare medicinal meals for him.

Therefore, everyone in the house was very worried about Lord Hou's health.Including Yuan Zhao, she transferred Luo Yan to the back kitchen a few days ago, and asked her to learn cooking skills from Old Man Tao and Zhu Shou, but in fact, she asked about his father's real situation.

When he found out that he was fine, he felt at ease and continued to practice the piano.

Luo Yan continued to stay by Zhu Shou's side, which was suggested by Manager Ji.Of course, on the bright side, he is still learning how to cook and how to make Mincheng dim sum, even if Zhu Shou's cooking is not very delicious.

But he is good at medicine, if he can give some pointers, Luo Yan will benefit greatly.

After eating snacks, Yuan Zhao continued to play cotton, ah no, play the piano, enjoying her natural sound.There was Wuxi guarding the house outside, and the tortoise shell told Yin Zhu and Bi Huan to take care of her, and she went to the North Courtyard to report the daily life of the princess to the Jiang family.

Since Master Hou fell ill, Jiang seldom went back to the east courtyard, and mostly stayed in the north courtyard on a daily basis.

Today is also the same, not only the four wives are there, but the son and the son-in-law brought a pair of children to the North Courtyard to visit.The eldest grandson knew that his grandfather was ill and was very worried. In order to make him recover sooner, the little boy sang and danced in front of the bed.

Reciting poems, his childish appearance often makes the elders roar with laughter.Seeing his grandfather smiling happily, he also clapped his little palms and giggled along, with a crisp voice.

Hawksbill went in and truthfully reported to the masters the performance of the little princess today.Knowing that she played like cotton, everyone laughed again.

The laughter stopped, and Zhuo Ji gently excused Yuan Zhao:
"The princess is a beginner, it's rare that she has such patience at such a young age. Thinking back to the time, she had no time to be urged by the concubine with a whip to learn. The princess is so self-disciplined that she will be better than blue in the future. Don't laugh at her." .”

Master Hou and Jiang Shi never doubted this point, and they nodded in agreement.

After the tortoise left, the Feng family also talked about her Liulang Shuda.Shu Da wrote, but they are still on the way and have not arrived in Dongjun.In the letter, he told his parents what he saw along the way, ashamed of his previous ignorance.

"Shu Da said that there was a big flood in Fu County, there were countless refugees, and there were many mourners. I am afraid that the court will have to worry about it again." Feng chatted about her son's experience.

"The imperial court has its own countermeasures, and our government should also contribute." Jiang Shi said, reminding the elder wife, "Guan Shi, you send someone to tell Rulan and Wuxia to allocate some money from the public, and wait for the imperial court to order. Donate it to disaster relief."

This is the usual practice of nobles in Beijing, and the Hou Mansion is not alone.Moreover, the Hou Mansion pays only in response to the call every time, and never takes the initiative to stand out, which is not eye-catching.

"Daughter-in-law is going now." Guan stood up and saluted.

As the children grew up, they often played with their fathers, and were also happy to play with their grandfathers and grandmothers.I believe that she will be able to get away after a while, and then take over the housekeeping from Miss Four and Miss Five.

It is not easy at all to manage the property of the Marquis Mansion.

Well, at this very moment, the Fourth Miss, the Fifth Miss, and the son-in-law's wife, Mrs. Yan, are doing their accounts in the side hall of the front yard.Yan Shi never expected that she would be able to intervene in the housekeeper's affairs not long after she passed the door, even though she was an assistant, she was surprised enough.

One must know that even though her natal family's strict family was generous to others, there was no reason for a bride to be in charge of the house.Her two sister-in-laws have been living together for three years, and they are still serving her grandmother and mother-in-law.

Fortunately, the Hou's mansion, the majestic millennium family, actually has no need to wait on the mother-in-law except for the morning and evening.

The aunt Xijing is not used to people hanging around in front of her, so she can leave sooner or later after saying hello; the husband's biological mother is far away in the princess's mansion, so she is simply spared the morning and evening appointments.

she:"……"

As we all know, among the girls in the Yan Mansion, she is the worst married, but no one believes that she has the best life.Except that her husband treats her coldly, her daily life is the most relaxed, even if this kind of life is short.

Sure enough, the world is not perfect, there are gains and losses.

Originally, she felt very disappointed by her husband and wife's way of getting along with each other as guests. It wasn't until her aunt asked her to contact the housekeeper and saw the account book that she realized that the loss was nothing.

"Two younger sisters," Yan looked at the ledger, hesitantly, stammered, and cautiously said, "Maybe my sister-in-law has a wrong eye and a wrong meaning. The public money in the mansion is... from the harvest of the masters of each courtyard Li... buckle it?"

I don't know if her memory is confused, it seems that when she was in her natal Yan's house, except for the head of the house, all the other house owners had money to receive.

Why is the majestic mansion...

Haha, the fourth and fifth girls were taken aback when they heard the words, then pursed their lips and snickered, and nodded playfully together:
"Yes."

No way, don't look at the grandeur of the Hou Mansion, life is actually tight.After all, the house was ransacked and never gave birth, and Hou Ye had no other income except salary.

The expenses of the mansion are all supported by the dowry income of the wives of each courtyard.

As for the family, of course they have the money to contribute money, and they can contribute their strength to support the Dingyuanhou Mansion together.Receive monthly money?That's something only servants do, masters, try to find ways to make money!At most, let the servants run errands.

Yan Shi: "..."

This, this home is not easy to be ah!
