The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 466 Disputes in the Inner Court (Two in One)

Ping Liaohou Mansion.

In the main courtyard.

The weather at the beginning of April is warm and the flowers are blooming in the north, and the pear blossoms in the yard are as lush as they are blooming.

The glass windows are almost transparent, and many women and maidservants in the courtyard, as well as the deacon's wives, are pointing at the pear blossoms in the courtyard to pass the waiting time.

"Our side has gone through a lot of hard work. Relying on the general's prowess, we have ushered in peace. We always want to live a peaceful life for a few years, but we don't know that there will be unrest everywhere."

The business of the mansion and the customs of Mongolia must be handed over to the yamen. The matters that have been going on for several years cannot be easily dissected.

There is also the ginseng trade in Jeju Island, from picking ginseng to drying, to packing, and transporting it to Jeju Island to find the next home.

The deacons and daughters-in-law in the mansion get busy in spring, and there are so many people in the wife's office every day.

The deacon's daughter-in-law waiting in line chatted with the mothers and maids in the yard while they were free.

"No."

"First, there was a war on the grassland. The general personally went to hand over the leader of the bandit, and made an agreement with the Taijis. Unexpectedly, as soon as the north was pressed down, North Korea broke out again."

The little maid was chirping, but the nuns were more cautious when speaking.

"We women don't understand the affairs of men. We just don't understand. Isn't it good to live in peace? How many people will die and how many families will be destroyed in a war."

A woman lamented.

Mrs. Zhou also came, Mrs. Qin rarely came, so she came here diligently to help the two wives get closer.

Hearing this, he laughed.

"But what I said is wrong, let Mrs. Zhou laugh?"

"Did the peaceful years fall from the sky? In our place, there are generals and geniuses, literary friends Feng Shengzhi, Gu Yingshi, etc., military personnel such as Zhu Xiu, Wu Zhenmeng, etc., and officials with heart and soldiers. Otherwise, ten years ago What is our situation in Liaodong?"

As soon as Zhou's words fell, the surrounding nuns couldn't help but speak.

You said the same thing as me, talking about how miserable Liaodong was, how the people couldn't survive, and so on.

Hearing that the faces of several little maidservants turned pale, they knew how lucky they were today.

at this time.

A deacon's wife came out with a bamboo card in her hand.

"Hey, you can hear the commotion outside the house."

Following the words of the deacon's wife, everyone came to their senses, and quickly lowered their voices. The deacon's wife looked at Mrs. Zhou.

"Ma'am, ask Mrs. Zhou to come in."

The Zhou family didn't dare to stay, and hurriedly replaced the original thick leather door curtain with a cloth door curtain as the temperature rose.

Open it and walk in.

I saw my wife sitting in front of the table, and the dowry maids standing next to them. The table was full of booklets, and on the next table, there were also abacus, paper and pens, etc.

"lady."

Zhou said hello.

"Sister-in-law Zhou, please sit down."

Putting away his serious expression, Jia Tanchun smiled.

Mrs. Zhou is the oldest person in the mansion, and his son is the adopted son of the master, so he is not comparable to others, and Jia Tanchun dare not offend him rashly.

"How is Sister Qin these days?"

Qin Keqing didn't come to the main courtyard very often, and Jia Tanchun didn't have anything to do, so he didn't go to the east courtyard very often. Although the two courtyards were connected, it was really difficult to see each other.

The Zhou family is the mouthpiece between the two, and Qingwen is there to help ease the situation.

The more so.

Compared with others, like Xue Baochai, Tanchun is more casual, but he is very polite to Qin Keqing and Jia Tanchun.

Back then in Jia's mansion, there were chatter and laughs, but now I have long forgotten it.

"Ugh."

Zhou Shi sighed.

"I'm not worried about the eldest son."

In front of Jia Tanchun, the Zhou family did not mention the eldest son, but changed his name to the eldest son.

"I heard good news. You go back and tell Sister Qin. She will be happy when she finds out."

"I also heard from a businessman in Jeju that the king of North Korea fled from Seoul, and someone saw the eldest son."

House.

He always called Tang Yanqian the eldest son, but Jia Tanchun didn't know what he was thinking, but he also called him the eldest son.

Even though she said that, others dared not.

Regardless of the young lady's age, the affairs of the family are not soft in the slightest, and everything is handled steadily.

After a few years, there is no fault at all.

Even if it is the largest business with the grassland that has been handed over to the mansion for many years, there are thousands of shopkeepers, buddies, grooms, porters, etc. alone.

In addition to these thousands of people, those people stayed and handed over to the government, and helped the officials of the Yamen and had successfully accepted it.

And who are transferred to Jeju Island, who run shops, deal with overseas businessmen, run business, solicit customers, and manage warehouses.

Who is going to recruit participants, set up a ginseng place, who is getting old, and who has been rewarded with pension money and refunded, etc.

There were so many things going on, my wife made arrangements in the center, and everything went smoothly without any surprises.

Not only the outsiders were amazed, but even the deacon's wife in the mansion, who could not be convinced.

Zhou saw it, and although she didn't say it, in fact, even if it was her, she thought in private.

As far as this matter is concerned, Mrs. Qin's talent is indeed inferior to Mrs. Jia's.

"Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless you, that's great. I'll go back and tell Madam Qin. Madam doesn't know. Madam Qin hasn't slept soundly for a long time."

"How can you break your body?"

Jia Tanchun cared, "Go and tell Sister Qin, although the general didn't say anything, he must have made preparations in advance."

"There was nothing to do at first, but if I became sick with worry, it would be nothing more than nothing."

Mrs. Zhou agreed again and again, and stood up to say goodbye.

She didn't have time to think why Jia Tanchun took the initiative to tell her, thinking that Jia Tanchun really cared about Qin Keqing.

East Court.

Compared with the bustle of the main courtyard, it seems quiet, not as good.

"Hahaha."

As soon as I entered the house, I heard Tang Yan's laughter, which added joy and vitality to the yard, and made people feel too naughty.

Among the master's sons, Tang Yan was the only one. The very patient master had no choice but to pick up a stick sometimes.

Hearing Tang Yanzhi's laughter, Zhou couldn't help but smile.

"Be careful when your father comes back to clean you up."

really.

Tang Yanxuan jumped down from the tree, so frightened that Ge Xu almost cried out, the more so, Tang Yanxuan's face became more smug.

"My father?"

Hearing Zhou's threat, Tang Yanzhu rolled his eyes and immediately didn't care.

"Who knows where he went, I haven't seen him for a long time, even if he comes back, I'm not afraid of him."

"Humph."

Zhou snorted coldly.

"You'd better say this in front of the master, don't be brave in front of your sister Ge."

After speaking, he was not allowed to climb trees again.

into the house.

Compared with the original appearance, the scenery in the house has changed greatly.

It's getting more crowded and there are more objects.

After all, there is a demon king in chaos, a young daughter, and even if he is not at home, he still arranges things for the eldest son.

In the house, two rooms are connected.

The original copper bed in the inner room is still there, and a lake-colored lake crepe tent is hung on it. Under the canopy of the tent, the brocade quilt is neatly rolled up, but it is covered with a white gauze.

At the bottom of the bed, there is a set of small tables and chairs, with a few things on display, which at first glance are Tang Yanzhi's toys.

Don't want to lose it, otherwise the little devil in the world will be able to make trouble for several days in a row.

Under the window, there is a small combing table, made of pear blossom wood, the whole table is shining with light, it was prepared by the wife for the youngest daughter.

Then a room was opened, where Tang Yan's tallow bed was placed, a set of red lacquered tables and chairs in the middle, and a small table by the window, with pens and inkstones on it.

A small wire tray with a few books piled in disorder.

There is a full-length mirror in the right corner, a glass cabinet next to the mirror, and an embroidered screen stacked obliquely behind the table.In addition to four embroidered screens hanging on the wall,

When the master is not here.

The young lady slept with Qin Keqing, and Tang Yanzhi slept by herself.

When the master came, Mrs. Zhou, Ge Zhu and the others took the young lady to the wing to sleep.It was also the happiest time for Tang Yanzhi.

In the middle of the night in the wing room, he was often disturbed by his wife to scold him, so that he could barely fall asleep.

Qin Keqing was cutting out the pattern, Zhou looked at the size and color, and knew that it was a small dress for Yaonu.

While picking up the needle and thread to help sew it up, he told his wife the news that Jia Tanchun had leaked in the main room just now.

When Qin Keqing heard this, the calm expression on his face immediately became vivid.

"But really?"

"Since Mrs. Jia said it on purpose, it should be more or less the same."

Qin Keqing put down all the work in her hands, and only chanted Buddha's name on her lips, begging the blessing of the Bodhisattva, as long as her son is safe, she doesn't care.

In the evening, Tang Qing'an came back suddenly.

Brought good news.

"The king of North Korea, with his family and Xiao Gan, escaped from Seoul safely. He has already crossed Mount Li and is about to leave Chungcheong Road and arrive in Jeolla Province."

Jeolla Road has Shen Qiyuan, Lu Shunyi, and Ge Shifeng as guards by his side. No matter how the situation changes, Tang Yanqian cannot be threatened.

"If not, have you been avoiding me?"

Qin Keqing rolled her eyes.

Tang Qing'an rubbed the back of his head, and the situation was different from what he expected. Qin Keqing should not be complaining about himself when he first heard the good news.

"In the morning, Tanchun had already told me everything."

"Oh."

It turned out to be the case, Tang Qing'an suddenly understood.

Tanchun is still good.

Qin Keqing sneered twice, not talking too much.

……

By night.

"Go and take care of your son."

Tang Qing'an lay weakly on the couch, and pushed Qin Keqing beside him. The noise from the side room outside the window was disturbing.

"Not your son?"

Even so, Qin Keqing put on his clothes and cape, and went to the next room.

really.

Soon it was quiet.

The crazy child fell asleep quickly and fell asleep with his eyes closed. Not long after, Qin Keqing came back to the house.

"The two fathers and sons are exactly the same."

On the bed, Tang Qing'an was already sleeping soundly, so he moved inside ahead of time to make room for a place outside.

Qin Keqing sneaked into the thin mattress with light hands and feet, and slowly hugged her husband, the two embraced and fell asleep.

Sleep till dawn.

"Get up."

Mrs. Zhou had already asked people not to wake up the master and wife. Ge Tiao obediently hugged the young lady to play. Mrs. Zhou was busy with other things, so she failed to guard against Tang Yanzhi.

The little devil king broke into the room, waking up Tang Qing'an and Qin Keqing.

Tang Qing'an yawned.

"Who does your son look like?"

"Not like you?"

Qin Keqing frowned.

Yawning all over the sky, Tang Qing'an got up and chased away Tang Yanzhi, and then Qin Keqing lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

"When the North Korean affairs are settled this time, I'm going to let Xiaogan come back."

Qin Keqing was waiting for her husband to get dressed, asked about the fragrance on Qin Keqing's body, and felt the warmth of Qin Keqing's fingers, Tang Qing'an revealed in advance.

"Really?"

"In the future situation in North Korea, there is no need for Xiaogan to stay there. He is also older. As a father, I always have to educate him personally."

"At last you still have a conscience and know that you have a son."

Qin Keqing was delighted.

"Ge Shifeng is really good."

Thinking of the news he received, Tang Qing'an couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

I don't know why, the North Korean king has been reluctant to leave Seoul for a long time, and all the rebel sentries have arrived in Seoul.

At the most critical moment, he gave up completely and began to choose to escape.

Bringing the princess, the prince, and Tang Yangan and the others along, they were spotted by rebel scouts as soon as they left the city, and they stopped and followed them all the way.

The rebels who received the news sent a cavalry to chase after him, and Ge Shifeng took the initiative to stay behind.

He led 100 people to kill the cavalry who were chasing by the rebels. Because of his bravery, the chasing army sent by the rebels did not dare to act rashly.

Before the arrival of the other party's large forces, Ge Shifeng judged the situation and immediately evacuated with his men.

There were several entanglements on the way, but he suppressed them all without any risk, and entered Chungcheong Road smoothly.

Easier said than done.

"Ge Cu has been raised in the mansion for several years, and now that she is older, how are you going to arrange her?"

Qin Keqing offered to say.

"I must find a good husband's family for her."

Hearing her husband's reply, Qin Keqing breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt reluctant to let Ge Cui leave the mansion.

"Of all the girls in the mansion, only Ge Zhu is the most sensible, well-behaved, and loving one. I really can't bear to part with her."

Tang Qing'an thought so too.

Girls like Qin Keqing, Jia Tanchun, Xue Baochai, Qingwen, and Xiangling from all over the world are among the best in terms of talent and appearance.

There is also Lin Daiyu outside the mansion, which is even more different. She only has a good looks, and a simple word can move people's hearts.

In the huge Marquis of Pingliao's Mansion, everyone has been counted, but only Ge Xun, no matter in character or appearance, can compete with them.

"Ge Shifeng's two brothers and sisters, both of whom are top figures in Liaodong, about Ge Shifeng's marriage, I will discuss with him personally when Ge Shifeng comes back."

"Ge's family has no elders, so I can't mess around with mandarin ducks. Let's find out Ge Shifeng's idea first. No matter who it is, I will be his sister's matchmaker myself."

"As it should be."

Qin Keqing agreed.

Among the juniors in Jinzhou, all talented people have received her grace, Li Rujing needless to say, his mother and father are her own.

Ge Shifeng's younger sister was also taken in by him since childhood.

She is a servant girl in name, but who in the mansion dares to treat her as a servant girl?And the treatment of the lady is not bad.

And Xu Jufei.

His father died early, and his mother dragged her to take care of him, taking care of him like Li Rujing for many years.

There are also Wang Fengsu's orphanage, military students and so on.

Qin Keqing couldn't even remember how many juniors she had taken care of, and among so many juniors, how many of them had grown up over the years.
