This morning, the head of the Zhang family's house was bustling with activity. It turned out that the head of the family's wife, who was rarely seen on weekdays, went to other counties with the car tent to watch the autumn a few days ago. She just returned last night, and today she met with all the side rooms. Quan Dang expressed his love for each other, and by the way, the fine things brought by Dawai County were distributed to everyone, and while the weather was just right, they chatted about home affairs together.
There are always groups of wives and concubines in large families, but there are very few wives and concubines who can get along as harmoniously as the Zhang family in Fengyou County. Not to mention the competition for favors in the side rooms, just leveling the bowl of sea in the house. It is already an extremely difficult job to make a living, not to mention the undercurrents that will arise between concubines and legitimate sons in the future. No matter which high-ranking family it is placed in, it is difficult to figure it out. No matter how powerful it is in the court, it is difficult to show off. Among princes, high-ranking officials, or a highly respected wealthy businessman family, internal disputes have always been common. However, these few people in the head of the Zhang family have always gotten along very well. If it hadn't been for their staggered schedules a while ago, it would have been normal for them to watch the autumn together, and they would have never been afraid of each other.
The courtyard of the mansion originally had four entrances and four exits, and it was natural for the merchants to occupy the position of prince and queen. However, Zhang Xiulou was very particular about taboos. Since it was a family residence, it was necessary to give up these four words and build another three-in-three-out building. Leaving the house not only showed that he had not exceeded his duties as a merchant, but also gave up this taboo. The old house had never been idle, and it was a smooth favor to rent a house to another merchant in Fengyou County.
The outside of the courtyard is colorful, and in the courtyard there are even more birds and birds. Clothes of five colors are decorated with tassels, and the embroidery skills are amazing. Just a cursory glance can tell that the people here are wealthy.
Several people sat in rows and fought with the grass. From time to time, cute laughter spread, attracting many autumn birds. Although the autumn mood was already strong, there was no hint of desolation. The whole garden was full of bustle and laughter. The chatting continued, almost overwhelming the original strong autumn mood, which was very fresh.
"I heard that Madam went out on this trip and visited several places with suitable scenery. It was actually something I had never seen before. Even though I and a few others went out many times, we still couldn't find such a perfect place. I will definitely go there next time when I come back this time. Only if you go together with your wife can you feast your eyes." A woman wearing a plain green skirt spoke with a rather depressed expression. She put the flowers and plants she found beside her and spoke softly.
"My lady's good fortune is endless, how can it be compared to a crazy woman like you who only knows how to play all day long?" There is a woman on the edge of the yellow grass. Her clothes are covered with tassels, her hair is tied up in a bun that is extremely high, and her broken hair is like a waterfall. , with a beautiful face, heard the words and sat down next to the woman in the green skirt, and gently tapped her green jade fingers on the latter's forehead, pretending to be angry: "Madam, she usually works hard at home, but she also needs to pay attention to you and me sisters all the time. Mr. My businessman is very busy, so everything at home falls on my wife's shoulders. It is rare to go out now, so it would be great to see this wonderful scene. Why are you looking so sad?"
This woman with her hair in a bun was obviously looking for several more flowers and plants than the woman in the green skirt. However, seeing the people around her chatting with each other, she quietly handed most of the flowers and plants to the latter's side with a playful wink. , only then did the woman in the green dress, who had been a little downcast just now, show her joy again, and pinched the former's broken hair with a playful smile.
There are two types of grass fighting, civil and military. The first is martial, which is to select tight roots of flowers and grasses, set them two by two, and then stretch again. Whoever breaks the grass stem in his hand first will lose the game and will inevitably suffer a violent blow. Chestnuts, especially children, are the best. Literary battles are more difficult. You need to find flowers and plants first, and then use flowers and plants to couplets. The one with less grass and trees loses, and the woman with curly hair is willing to give in, which makes the woman in the green skirt change her face. Qing, the reason is that now that I have such a handful of flowers and plants, I have a high chance of winning.
Mrs. Zhongzhong smiled generously, put down the tea cup, and said to the woman with disheveled hair, "Langyu, don't spoil her too much. She is clearly at an age when she is about to marry and establish herself. Her temperament is still like this, but she is like a boudoir who has never left the palace. Girl, if you really encounter complicated and trivial matters that require plotting in the future, how can you bother others with everything?"
Langyu covered his mouth and replied with a smile: "Langyu has written it down, but since we are in the Zhang family's house, it is difficult to cross the covered bridge even if it is windy and rainy outside. The house is even more harmonious and has not changed for many years. Even if we occasionally quarrel and bump into each other, we can enjoy it together. After drinking tea for a month, the worries in my heart have been relieved. If I can't solve it, my wife is still here, so there is no reason that makes no sense. Yulu has a kind mind and thinks little. Although he has been a disciple for four years, he is still like this This kind of character would be extremely rare if it were placed in other people's houses where people are competing for fame and fortune. If you are planning and jealous, it is best to stay away from it."

The lady was also helpless. She watched the woman named Yulu pick up flowers and plants in a blink of an eye and fight with others. She picked up the names of all the flowers and smiled happily. She couldn't help adding a smile to her face. She called Langyu to sit down in front of her. , held up the tea soup, but was not in a hurry to drink the tea, but spoke very softly.
"Jun'er went out a few days ago and before he stepped out of the city, he encountered several wild snakes covered in poisonous flowers in the alley. The city is clean and tidy, and there are not many weeds. I have never heard anyone mention it. The capital of Fengyou County There were wild snakes in the area. Fortunately, I hired a martial artist and my second uncle Zhang Honglou to train me. I was pretty good at it, so I was able to escape the wild snakes. This matter is very strange, and the master just said it a while ago, In the future, Jun'er should be sent to succeed my Zhang family and extend the title of head of the family. These two things should be involved."
Langyu frowned deeply, but soon his expression returned to its original state. He pretended to add tea to the person in front of him, lowered his body and said, "Madam, does this mean that someone in the Zhang family's residence wants to do something unfavorable? When the master mentioned this matter a while ago, no one was waiting here. At first, I thought it was just a joke or an unintentional remark. The only people who heard about it were me and other sisters."
At this point, Lang Yu also knew that there was no need to go into detail, so he just raised his eyes calmly.
"Nothing is absolute," Mrs. Zhang shook her head slightly, obviously she was getting older.
Not confused, but there are no deep lines on his face. In addition, his behavior is dignified and upright, and the bright smiles around him pale in comparison. "I have never felt that this matter has anything to do with the side rooms in the house. If one of the servants is used by others, the intention is To destroy my Zhang family, most of the time I will use such vicious methods, but since I am a human in this world, I know people and their faces but not their hearts, and I have learned from past mistakes, even if I am usually gentle, I have to find out the root cause this time."
"Does the master know about this?" Lang Yu was worried.
"The master has nothing else to do now. As the head of the merchant family in Fengyou County, and also the head of the family, he needs to be troubled by everything big and small. If he is distracted by the affairs of this family, wouldn't it be my wife's fault? .”
"Langyu is willing to do his best."
Mrs. Zhang lowered her head and looked at a withered red azalea in her hand. The flowers and leaves turned from red to black, with a gloomy expression.
