The story of the husband and the son of the doctor and daughter of Houmen

Chapter 766: After Autumn (1)
In the main hall of the study hangs a plaque with gold characters on a black background, and the inscription: Shuyu phoenix tree.

The main hall and the two rooms on the east lead to a bright hall. The front wall of the east wall is a bookshelf, and all kinds of ancient and modern books are neatly placed on it.In front of the bookshelf is a large book case with ghost face rosewood inlaid with white marble top. On the book case are seven or eight ancient inkstones and a large mahogany carved pen stand, which can be described as full of brushes and inks.

On the north wall facing the book table is a calligraphy of the former dynasty, which is written by an ancient poem:
Outside the pavilion Nanxuan, the chastity is repaired and straight.

The broad leaves are green and shaded, and the flowers are even plain.

Talented and elegant, worthy of bosom friend.

Under the opposite window is a set of high-backed mahogany tables and chairs, a small square table in the middle with stone bonsai and a set of exquisite glass tea sets.

The entire study room is covered with a thick navy blue jacquard carpet, and footsteps pass by without a sound.

The imperial concubine supported the hand of the maid and walked into the door, but saw that the room was quiet, only two servants on duty saw her coming in and hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Where's your prince?" The noble concubine asked with a frown.

One of the young servants hurriedly replied: "Go back to the concubine, the prince and Mr. Zhan are playing chess from the backyard."

The Concubine Gui went straight to the backyard without saying a word.

A set of rattan armchairs and a small glass table were placed under the green shade of the backyard. King Heng and Mr. Zhan, each holding black and white chess pieces, heard the movement, put down the chess pieces in their hands, and stood up to salute.

"Mother and concubine just summoned my son to go over if there is something to do, why did you come here in person?" After the king of Heng Jun saluted, he stepped forward to support the arm of the noble concubine and sat down on the rattan chair.

"You've been sick all the time, so you should rest. I'm fine anyway, so I should come out and walk around more when I'm free." The imperial concubine said, her eyes raised to Mr. Zhan next to her.

Mr. Zhan hurriedly bowed, and said with an apologetic smile: "The concubine is talking to the prince, so I will take my leave first."

The noble concubine smiled lightly, nodded and remained silent.Mr. Zhan and the little boy serving tea retreated together, and for a while, only the mother and son were left in the quiet and quiet backyard.

King Hengjun personally boiled water and made tea for his mother, and then offered it with both hands.

The noble concubine took the tea but was not in a hurry to drink it, she just sniffed the fragrance of the tea and said slowly: "This is Longjing tea before the rain, the late emperor's favorite tea."

King Heng lowered his head and said: "What the concubine mother said is true. The emperor has always been partial to Yuqian Longjing, but the mother still likes Xueding Hancui. It is my son's negligence."

"It's nothing, tea is just something to nourish your mind and nature in your spare time. The real meaning lies in taste. Every kind of tea has its unique features. If you only prefer one kind, you will miss a lot of good teas," said the concubine. Then, he took a sip of the fragrant tea, and said with emotion: "Now I taste the Dragon Well before the rain, and I think it is better than the green jade on the top of the snow."

"As long as the concubine likes it." Prince Heng hurriedly took the teacup from the imperial concubine, and refilled her tea.

The mother and son talked about self-cultivation and self-cultivation through the tea ceremony, and then talked for a long time and finally returned to calm.

The imperial concubine drank three or five cups of tea, and never asked her son about going to supervise the construction of the imperial mausoleum. Finally, she gracefully flicked her sleeves and stood up. I'm counting on you to retire."

King Hengjun bowed and said: "My son is not filial, which makes my mother worry. Please rest assured, my son will take care of my body and let my mother take care of me for the rest of my life."

"Go ahead, I'm leaving." The imperial concubine smiled in relief, straightened her sleeves and left with her back straight.

Hengjun Wang personally sent it to the gate of Tongyuxuan Courtyard. The noble concubine stood still at the gate, and suddenly turned her head to look at the towering sycamore trees in the courtyard, and smiled wryly: "My son planted a good sycamore tree, but it didn't attract a real phoenix."

Prince Heng smiled lightly and said, "It's my son who is incompetent."

"Forget it, now your mother and concubine, the only thing I want is your safety, the rest is nothing."

"Thank you, Concubine Mother, for calling me." Prince Heng bowed again, and sent the Concubine Gui away slowly.

It wasn't until the imperial concubine disappeared at the corner of Yong Road that King Heng straightened up, looked up at the dense sycamore trees, and thought of what his mother said, with a wry smile on his lips.

Yes, he planted the plane tree with his own hands, but it didn't attract the real phoenix.His phoenix has long lived elsewhere, and its wings are strangled and can no longer fly. In this life, he is destined to look at her from afar.

Two days later, King Heng packed up his luggage and rushed to the imperial mausoleum together with officials from the Ministry of Industry with only eight entourages.

After reading the secret letter sent by the informant in Hengjun Wangfu, the emperor in the summer palace said to Wang Bingyi, the most trusted nurse around him: "My third brother is actually a kind of love."

Wang Bingyi didn't dare to say more, he just cupped his hands and said: "The emperor is wise."

It was also a cloudy and rainy day, but Jiangnan and Jiangbei were quite different.The rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River is lingering, and the rain is like a spring silkworm spinning silk. No matter how you pull it, you can't stop pulling it, and it lasts for five or six days.

Outside Jiangning City, in an exquisite courtyard with pink walls and black tiles, Yao Fengge sat under the window of a small pavilion, quietly looking at the account book in his hand.

Under her hands, four long tables were used to put together a large case, covered with a dark green satin tablecloth, and eight accountants sat around, their fingers fluttering and crackling the beads of the abacus.The sound of the abacus and the sound of the rain hitting the plantains outside could not be heard clearly.

Yao Fengge carefully read the account book in his hand, raised his hand and took a brush dipped in blue ink to draw a mark on the last page of the account book, then put down the brush, and took a cup of tea at hand while the ink was drying, Gently blowing on the powdered tea, he took a sip.

A maidservant in Tsing Yi walked in lightly, walked up to Yao Fengge, gave a little blessing, and said softly: "Ma'am, there is a letter from the capital."

"Huh?" Yao Fengge looked away from the plantains outside the window, and there was a flash of joy, "Is it the second uncle?"

"Back to Madam, it's Ninghou Mansion." The little servant girl said, presenting a letter with both hands.Since returning to Jiangning, Yao Fengge specially picked out a pair of clever girls aged [-] or [-], and asked a husband to teach them to read and settle accounts. Instead of reading Ziji scriptures and history, Yao Fengge only wanted to be able to read, calculate accounts, and be a sensible person.Therefore, all the newly selected little maids around her can read and write.

Yao Fengge smiled and said after receiving it, "Go down."

The little maid bowed and retreated. Yao Fengge put the letter by his hand but was not in a hurry to open it. He just waited for the accountants over there to check the account books in their hands, and after handing them in, Fang said: "Everyone Hard work today."

Several accountants hurriedly bowed and said, "Ma'am, you are serious, this is my duty."

"Food and wine have been prepared in the wing room, please go over to have dinner first. I will check the remaining account books tomorrow."

"Yes." Everyone agreed, and they all quit.
