Without Sima Yan's operation, the wonderful "fighting for Qi and Yan" at the plum blossom banquet of Duke Anguo's mansion quickly spread in the capital. Now no one in the capital knows that the two marquises not only have the Marquis of Yongping, who is the top scholar in both civil and military, but also Princess Qi, who is also both civil and military.

For the second master Xia Shuwen who is about to take the exam for the scholar, no one seems to have to guess anything. Maybe he will be the top scorer in two years.

Unfortunately, the two marquis' mansions have already spoken out. The second master's marriage is not urgent, and it will be settled after the age of eighteen.

Sima Yan did not fall behind, and she still had a reputation as "deserving of being a talented woman". After all, there are not many people who know the plum blossom font, and everyone knows that are Princess Qi and Princess Yan.

The worst loser at the plum blossom banquet was Chen Yueying, the third girl from Chengyi Bo Mansion. Even the girls from other branches of the Chen family were questioned. It was because the daughter of the direct line of the scholarly family was too embarrassed. Chengyi Bo Man was almost so angry that he vomited a mouthful of old blood. However, to Chen Yueying's surprise, her father did not scold her, and did not even look at her, and waved his hand and let her go.

Chen Yueying was secretly glad, but Mrs. Chen's feet were trembling. She knew her uncle, so she didn't want to pay attention to Chen Yueying at all?

Sure enough, then, Master Chengyi said coldly and firmly: "Let the affairs of the mansion be handed over to Hao's daughter-in-law in the future. Hao's daughter-in-law, Yu'er and Lin'er (two concubines) will follow you in the future. You can choose two good upbringing mothers and pay more attention to it on weekdays. It is not necessary to be talented. The most important thing is to know your own wiseness and know yourself."

Nian'er was stunned for a while, and saw her husband Chen Wenhao giving her a "safe" look. Then she replied: "Yes, the daughter-in-law knows." Fortunately, the two concubines are much more well-behaved than Chen Yueying and have good qualifications.

Chen Yueying had just stepped out of the room when she heard this and instinctively turned back to Mrs. Chen to support: "Why? My mother is still here, why should I let my sister-in-law be the leader? Isn't it embarrassing to spread it?"

With a "bang", Chen Yueying was stunned. The one who slapped her was the mother who always loved her the most.

Mrs. Chen whispered, "Kneel down!" She regretted it, she really regretted it a lot. She gave birth to a son and a daughter. Her son was disciplined by her uncle, and Chen Yueying was the daughter who was taught by her side, so she naturally felt particularly painful. But now she realized that her doting not only harmed Chen Yueying, but also herself.

Chen Yueying glanced at her father, who was dark but didn't speak, and did not dare to say anything. She knelt down obediently.

Uncle Chen still did not scold her, but looked at Mrs. Chen: "From now on her marriage, you should teach her with all your might, at least understand the basic principles and etiquette. If she makes any more monsters in the future, she will no longer be the daughter of my Chen family. And you, go to the family temple. Remember, without my permission, you both mother and daughter are not allowed to leave the mansion in the future. Hao's daughter-in-law, please find time to go to the two marquis' mansion to officially apologize to Princess Qi on behalf of our Bo's mansion."

Nian'er quickly agreed. Although she knew that Shu Yao would not care about Chen Yueying at all, this was her father-in-law and the attitude of the Zhenyi Bo Mansion.

Master Chengyi nodded and left.

Chen Yueying was completely paralyzed: she is no longer the daughter of the Chen family? What does it mean? Her father actually had the idea of ​​driving her out of the house?

Chen Wenhao shook his head as he looked at his only compatriot sister. He couldn't blame his father for being cruel. The most important thing in the scholarly family is reputation. This time his father was so angry that he had to bear the pressure from the clan.

"Mom, let's go first. Father, he is under great pressure. You..." As a son, Chen Wenhao really couldn't say anything about his mother. He also reminded his mother that she was too spoiled by her sister. But every time he said that, his mother pointed the finger at Nian'er, thinking that Nian'er was instigating him to badly, so he didn't dare to say anything more.

Mrs. Chen's eyes were dull and slumped on the chair. What she was worried about now was that her parents' family should have someone or letters. Her parents' family also had a scholarly family, and her reputation for not being able to discipline her daughter has spread, and the aunts in her parents' family will be implicated in some ways.

Chen Yueying was frightened: "Mom, mom, why is this happening? At worst, it's just that the zither is not played well. Why did my father treat me like this?"

Mrs. Chen sighed. The daughter still doesn't know what was wrong. She said helplessly: "Since you know that you can't be good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, why dare you to provoke others?" She still has to rush to the front? This is not only a matter of ability, but also a fault in character.

"I..." Chen Yueying was stunned. How could she... think that Xia Shuyao not only could write the word "Plum Blossom", but also rebels and generals to bring her to perform together?

Shu Yao naturally had no interest in knowing the situation of Chen Yueying, who was used as a gunman, and she was shocked by the news that she brought back to Liu's mother.

"Living? Is there such medicine in the world?" Shu Yao said in surprise. The name of the medicine alone makes people shudder.

Mother Liu nodded with a look of disdain: "Murong Shangshu is probably powerless to cry now." Shangshu Murong has been smart and capable all his life. He didn't want to, and when he was dying, he was "pickled" by his biological children to become a living dead.

"Murong Shangshu has already exhausted his energy. The eldest prince is afraid that he will be further suspected by the emperor, so he brought the Miao village to "survive". He also asked Murong Ziye to buy it for two thousand taels of silver." Liu's mother really looked down on Murong Ziye, and just betrayed her father for the promise that she could continue to be an official in Beijing after three years of Dingyou.

Shu Yao still couldn't believe it: "Whether you live, you have a breath or a pulse, you have to save yourself, right?"

Mother Liu shook her head: "The Miao family's medicines are all strange. 'Ghost Face' have heard of this medicine before. The person who took this medicine is actually dead. But I don't know what the mystery is in the medicine. The body will not shrink or rot. It is like falling asleep, and there will be a weak pulse. Such a living dead person can last for four or five months. However, once the pulse stops, the body will turn into a pool of blood in an instant in three days."

Shu Yao couldn't help but shivered: "How could Murong Ziye and Concubine Li treat their father like this?" He didn't let him live in peace after death, and in the end he was still dead?

Mother Liu sneered: "These people only have interests in their hearts and only blame Murong Shangshu no longer can protect them or help them."

"It deserves it," Liu's mother suddenly changed her tone. She looked excited on her face, "Then Jia Qiaoniang was quick-witted and immediately encouraged Murong Ziye to let Murong Yang and Zhen Keling, Zhen Keying and Murong Zhi get married immediately. Murong Ziye is naturally happy, otherwise she will have to wait another year when the news of Murong Shangshu's death is made public."

Shu Yao thought for a moment and smiled: "Just let them get married? I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Mother Liu also smiled: "We might as well wait and see?" Jia Qiaoniang, a woman from a small maid in a business mansion, is meticulous, decisive, and ruthless. It's really not easy. In comparison, Mrs. Zhen, the head of the Zhen Mansion, is much worse than Jia Qiaoniang.

In early February, there were already signs of spring blooming in the city of Guangdong. Qi Haoning was preparing to go to one of the two islands to be built by the court. General Haiyong hesitated: "Now the weather is starting to warm up, and the pirates have also been dispatched. The prince, why not wait until the Water Dragon King is captured..."

Qi Haoning waved his hand and interrupted him: "I must see the situation on the island with my own eyes before planning it. Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. You can't wait any longer. Besides, the pirates are cunning, and I don't move, they won't move either."

General Haiyong frowned: "That's the case, but...who?" He jumped up and quickly opened the door.

The two children rolled in. One was General Haiyong's grandson Haier, and the other was Damao, the grandson of Mrs. Liang. The two probably just leaned against the door. The door suddenly opened and rolled in without preparation. They fell and hurt and shouted oh.

But Qi Haoning still keenly discovered that Da Mao’s instinctive protective movements were not simple, and it was not something that an ordinary merchant’s child could do. Qi Haoning could conclude that no one of the guards around him could have that strange movement, including the two men who guided Da Mao’s kung fu. Because, the instinct of learning martial arts allowed him to see that it was one of the continuous movements.

Damao got up and hurried to help Haier first (Haier should have been stuck on the door before, rolling farthest, almost knocking down the foot of the table). She looked timid, as if she knew she had caused trouble, but her eyes quickly swept across the tabletop, and there was a drawing there.

Qi Haoning sneered. Judging from the series of reactions of the child when he came in, after at least three or four years of high-intensity training, just like the "netherworld" of the Great Zhou royal family, they all start training from children aged three or four.

However, Damao is honest and well-behaved on the surface and is often bullied by Haier who is younger than him, so it is very good to disguise it.

Haier's face turned red, but because her grandfather always loved him, she hugged General Hai Yong's thigh with a "wrongful" look: "Grandfather is bad, why did he suddenly open the door? Haier is about to knock on the door."

General Haiyong glanced at him sideways: "Oh? I was about to knock on the door? Are you all lying on the door and knocking on the door? Where did you learn the rules?"

Seeing the wind, Haier turned the rudder and rushed towards Qi Haoning: "Brother Ning, Haier is here to play Goji. Brother Yunxiao outside your door didn't know where he ran, so Haier lay on the door to see if there was anyone inside."

Yunxiao appeared at the right time: "Master, I suddenly had a stomachache and left for a while. What happened?"

Qi Haoning exchanged glances with Yunxiao and smiled, "It's nothing, your stomach hurts, which makes our Haier's butt hurt, hahaha."

Seeing Qi Haoning and others laughing, Da Mao changed the subject and stopped asking questions. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and moved his body inadvertently. The position and posture of his standing were not easy to see the drawings.

Unfortunately, before he could stand up, Qi Haoning laughed, and put the drawings unintentionally, folded them in his arms: "Uncle Jing (General Haiyong's name is Qi Jingyu), I really agreed to Haier play chess with him today. It's better to talk about our affairs later." Although Haier is young, his heart is very meticulous, and he is very sympathetic and caring for the grandparents and grandchildren of Mao. Every time he carefully writes his words, he can draw the subtleties of Damao or Mrs. Liang, which is more detailed than those who specialize in following him.

General Haiyong was waiting to nod, and someone came to report it: "Master, Miss Sun is here to pay tribute to you."

"Oh? Chan'er? OK, okay, I'll go here." General Haiyong looked happy. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
