    Xiao Qishan lived in Guanyue Pavilion in the Changxing Marquis Mansion. The servant had just replaced the bamboo curtains in his study with blue muslin curtains.  I helped him boil a pot of wine, cut a plate of braised duck gizzard slices, boiled salted chestnut meat, and peeled a plate of dried peanuts.  Xiao Qishan had just come back from a discussion with the old Marquis. He was exposed to heavy autumn dew. After taking off his cloak, he drank a glass of wine and asked the servant: "Has Guard Liu been here?"

    The boy said hurriedly: "I came here once at noon, but he left again when you weren't here."

    Xiao Qishan smiled: "Then go and invite him over. It would be a pity not to drink for a long time." The boy promised to invite him, and soon Liu Zhou opened the blue muslin curtain and came in. He took a breath and smiled, "Hello, sir.  Yaxing, it¡¯s best to drink soju on such a cold day.¡±

    Xiao Qishan poured him wine and pointed to the plate of duck gizzard slices: "the braised food from Chunxing Hutong. It tastes amazing."

    Liu Zhou laughed, "That braised food stall is the fastest to close, I've been wanting to eat it for a long time." He lowered his voice and said: " Let's talk about serious things with Mr The prince went to the Gu family today and took Li Xianhuai with him.  Secretly, my subordinates followed him all the way and watched him enter the lady's boudoir. Tell me, at this time, is there anything weird about the prince's behavior? "

    It was a troubled time, and Ye Xian always had a lot on his mind.  They always have to be on guard against him to avoid causing serious trouble.

    Xiao Qishan smiled when he heard this: "The eldest lady of the Gu family is stunningly beautiful, there is nothing surprising about it." Ye Xian invited him to Yanjing to treat Gu Jinchao's mother!  Xiao Qishan thought of the gentle and kind-hearted look of the eldest daughter of the Gu family again, and felt a sense of boredom in his heart.  He told Liu Zhou, "I watched him grow up, and I thought he could do something great. But I didn't expect that he was still young. It's hard for a hero to be a beauty!" He was still such a shameless beauty.

    No matter how hard-hearted Ren Yexian is, Miss Gu¡¯s family will still have to refine the steel into softness around her fingers.

    Xiao Qishan felt not only funny but also a little disappointed.

    Liu Zhou saw Mr. Xiao¡¯s disdainful look and knew that he disapproved of this young lady.  He stopped talking and sat down to have wine with Xiao Qishan and talk about interesting things happening in the capital.  Both of them were drunk. Liu Zhou's mind was cloudy and he suddenly asked him tongue-tied: "Sir I never understood that Changxing Hou treated you so well Didn't you ever hesitate in your heart?  "

    Xiao Qishan knew that he had drunk too much, otherwise he would not dare to talk to him like this.

    Seeing that Liu Zhou was about to lie down on the table, he said calmly: "Prince Cheng was famous all over the world. He put down the Tuxie Tuhan rebellion in Outer Mongolia and the Chahar rebellion in Monan, and was loved by the people. But Zhu Houcong was jealous of Prince Cheng.  He was murderous and captured his wife and children, forcing him to raise an army and rebel He served the country and the people with meritorious deeds, but he got this end Prince Rui and Marquis Changxing, how could he become a prince?  One percent!"

    Thinking of the brave and capable Prince Cheng, Xiao Qishan felt a pang of regret.

    How could he not be resentful that such a person was killed by the Changxing Marquis?  What's more, Prince Cheng was kind to him!  So even if he knew that Prince Rui was brave and foolhardy and could not achieve great things, he would help plot Changxinghou.

    Prince Rui will be able to successfully gain military power by overthrowing the Changxing Marquis Mansion. Lord Zhang¡¯s power will no longer be hindered in the court. Everyone is waiting to see it with open eyes.

    "Those who achieve great things are always ruthless and unjust." Xiao Qishan smiled.  Ye Xian has this kind of character. He has always been afraid of it, so he has to reserve some of the methods to treat Ye Xian's illness. Otherwise, why would he not be able to complete the treatment for more than ten years?

    Now everything is ready, just waiting for the east wind to come.

    Jin Chao was also thinking about the Changxing Hou family.  She had just heard from Gu Dezhao that regarding her father's official position, in addition to her second uncle helping her father, the fifth aunt also asked the Changxing Hou family for help.  If my father was originally a neutral faction, now he is considered to be included in the Changxing Hou faction. If the Changxing Houfu falls, I am afraid that the Gu family will have no choice but to force the fifth aunt to death.

    ????????????? At least that¡¯s certainly the case in others¡¯ eyes.

    Jin Chao¡¯s eyes fell on a pair of silk and Tianbai jade bracelets sent by the fifth lady.  The fifth lady has always had a gentle temperament, but she could be driven to commit suicide and she didn't know what the Gu family would do to her!

    Jin Chao felt a chill in his heart.

    Caifu came in to wash her up, and at three o'clock she was going to Feng's place to serve breakfast.

    After a while, Xu¡¯s mother came in, bowed and said to Jin Chao in a low voice: ¡°I have asked you all the things that the young lady asked me to inquire about.¡±

    Jin Chao wanted to know the general situation of the rooms in Gu's family, who was managing the property in the public house, and who was in charge of the affairs of the inner courtyard, so as not to go to Feng's place to serve and ask questions without knowing anything, and be caught out by others.

      Mother Xu said: "the ancestral family's property is not much. I have calculated it, and now the wife's dowry and belongings in your hand can be equal to the Gu family's property, not counting those in the hands of our master.  . These things have always been taken care of by the Tai Madam personally. The Tai Madam also intervenes in the affairs of the inner courtyard, but nominally the Fifth Madam takes care of it. However, now that the Fifth Madam is pregnant, it is the Second Madam who has the most control. And the Second Madam has the most control.  Neither the Master nor the Fifth Master will interfere with this The ancestral family now only has one legitimate daughter, the second cousin, and the other concubines are not outstanding."

    Jin Chao smiled and said, "No wonder Mrs. Feng treats me so affectionately." Although the things in her hands are not small, they are only equivalent to those of a middle-class family. The Gu family's property is about the same as hers, which is a bit stretched!  However, looking at the grandeur of the Zu family, it is several times that of theirs in Shi'an.

    Mother Xu smiled faintly: "The family's property is really small, but the expenses are huge. Sometimes we can't make ends meet for a year, and we have to sell off the things in the house. People from aristocratic families always have a pomp and dignity.  It just needs to look good!¡±

    Jin Chao continued, "It's not surprising that a family with a scholarly family is always not good at business." Scholars pride themselves on their high status and disdain being a merchant.  For example, if you open a gold and silver building to loan loan sharks or run a restaurant or teahouse, they will think that the money is too derogatory to their status.

    They have now returned to their ancestral home, and their food and clothing expenses are included in their ancestral home¡¯s expenses. What can their father¡¯s little salary do?  Maybe Feng would ask Gu Dezhao to use money to supplement his expenses from time to time, and his father would definitely not refuse.

    Jin Chao thought about it and felt that he had a headache, so he should let his father do it!  They were protected by their ancestral family, so it was impossible for them to give nothing.

    By the time she arrived at Dongkuayuan, Feng had just gotten up. She combed her hair with rosin and applied osmanthus hair oil. Her black hair was very shiny.  Feng's face inevitably looked mean when reflected in the mercury mirror.

    After Jin Chao greeted him, Feng said slowly: "you can help me grind the devil first." Feng had the habit of copying a Buddhist scripture after breakfast.

    Jinchao Yingnuo went to the study room. Feng came after breakfast, but he was not in a hurry to copy Buddhist scriptures. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the big Kang and closed his eyes to meditate.  She opened her eyes and glanced at Jin Chao, and then said: "A woman's standing posture, good-looking is the most important thing. Straighten your back, tighten your waist, don't tuck your head and hold your breasts How can it not look good!"

    Jin Chao pursed his lips. When polishing ink, he naturally had to lower his head and bend over. How could he polish ink while standing upright like that.

    She said yes and stood up straight.  Mrs. Feng didn't ask herself to polish the ink for her. She was just in her ancestral home now, so she had to be more submissive.

    After more than half an hour, Feng asked Jin Chao to come over and wash her hands and burn incense.  Jin Chao breathed a sigh of reliefit was really tiring to stand still like that!

    After Mrs. Feng copied the Buddhist scriptures, the master, wife and grandchildren of the Gu family would come over to pay their respects one by one.  At this time, Mrs. Feng asked her to stand aside and hold a celadon-glazed white porcelain tea cup for her, waiting for people to come over and salute, and Jin Chao also wanted to return the favor one by one.  She also gradually figured out Feng's attitude towards everyone.  Mrs. Feng valued her eldest grandson Gu Jinxiao the most and asked him many questions about his studies.  The ones she loved most were Gu Lian and Gu Jinxian. When other concubines came to say hello, they all responded lightly.

    The fifth lady came over and told her to make new autumn clothes for the servants of the various houses in the autumn. They used ordinary cotton rulers, and the rich ladies and girls used dark floral satin to make a pair of robes. Mrs. Feng readily agreed.  Then she pulled her and talked a lot about herself. After the fifth lady left, she said to Jin Chao: "Your fifth aunt has a very good nature. If you don't understand anything, you can ask her."

    The second lady brought over the account of the expenses of the public school for the previous month. Mrs. Feng frowned when she saw it.

    The second lady looked at it and said hurriedly: "The third brother's family moved here, and it coincides with the Double Ninth Festival. It is normal for the expenses to be higher."

    Mrs. Feng said: "There is no reason for the extra 40%. The embroidery master Sister Lian hired was only thirty taels for repairs The embroidery master didn't come last month! Besides, your third brother is here.  , those things are also from the government warehouse, why are there still prices for two pear wood tables"

    After all, they were just small heads. The second lady became a little anxious after hearing this: "The embroidery master didn't come, but I had to give him money. That's because Sister Lian didn't want to learn. The pear flower wood table is in short supply in the house."  . Third brother always adds a lot of things when he comes to the house Mother, take a closer look!"

    Ms. Feng was a little unhappy: "Are you afraid that my old lady's eyes will have problems? When you go back to do the calculations, don't always use your third brother's name to talk about expenses."

    The second lady took the booklet and promised, and suddenly she seemed to remember something again, and smiled and said: "Mom, Mrs. Cao San from Huaixiang Hutong came to see me and wanted to propose marriage to our family. She wanted to marry me.  Sister Lan said her nephew"

    Mrs. Cao San from Huaixiang Hutong?  Isn't that Mrs. Mu's sister? Could it be that she is talking about Mu Zhizhai?

    Jin Chao immediately concentrated his attention and heard Feng asked nonchalantly: "Which nephew is she?"

    The second lady said: "You have forgotten that he is the eldest son of the concubine of Lord Zhan Shimu. I heard Madam Cao San think it was good. They promised a generous dowry, and they didn't care that Sister Yilan had to observe the system for a year. It was an important matter."  Friendly!"

    Jin Chao thought to himself that this was enough to confuse right and wrong, and it could be said that he valued friendship when he was desperate!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Is it about Mu Zhizhai?
