Who Cares

Chapter 16: One item

The next day, Guan Suyi habitually woke up at the beginning of Mao Shi, and read poetry and classics a hundred times as before, and then began to practice calligraphy.

Half an hour later, the sun rose high and the sky broke, and the managers who had received the summons gradually arrived, ready to listen to the teachings of the new master. As the so-called three fires for new officials, because the old lady has no intention of being a steward, they are often slack. Starting this morning, there are not a few people with sleepy eyes, yawns, and complaints. As for those who are sincere and fearful, they are awe-inspiring. But there is no one.

Most of the servants in the mansion believed the previous rumors. After all, they are subordinates, not very knowledgeable, let alone broad-minded, they always think that Hou Ye is a great official, and even the emperor has to give a three-pointed face. I heard that the new wife came from a poor family, and that the Guan family and his son entered the official post after giving the marriage to the Hou Mansion. She made it clear that she was in the light of Lord Hou, so she looked down on her more and more.

The new lady brought only two girls on the day when she started, and the sending team was laughable. It can be seen how impoverished the Guan family is. Now that she manages a huge Hou Mansion, can she live in it? Will the ledger be read? Will you care about the cards? Don't blind her with those treasures in the storeroom? Thinking about this, several plump housekeepers snickered together, and several others rolled their eyes, looking very impatient.

It's been a long time since they came, and the new lady just flipped through a book slowly and didn't say anything. What kind of way is this? Want to give everyone a good start? Okay, let's stand with you. Anyway, the master doesn't speak, and the servants can't talk freely. In the end, it's up to see who is anxious.

While thinking, there was a general sound from outside, saying that it was the eldest lady who was pleased to his wife.

Missy come to greet the new lady? Didn't you point to the new lady and scold her for being cruel? Everyone was startled for a moment, and then a little surprised. Before they could think about it, the person had already come in, the eye sockets were slightly red and swollen, the skin was pale with cold, and they looked very haggard.

"You are here, sit down." Guan Suyi put down the scroll and said lukewarmly. Whether it is for dowry or marriage, Zhao Chunxi has to stay in the main house, so she had expected that from today onwards, the other party would put aside her self-esteem and perform "mother-kind filial piety" with herself. This is also her old trick.

Zhao Chunxi bowed his knees and saluted with a sincere tone, "Yesterday Xi'er was silent and said things that shouldn't be said. I hope my mother will have a large number of adults and don't care about Xier. This set of head-to-head gifts to my mother is regarded as an apologize, please see if you like it or not. ?"

The box of golden nanmu is covered with a layer of black silk, and the morning light spreads on it, showing a maltose-like burnt yellow luster. In this burnt yellow halo lies a set of emerald flakes, gold and silver filigree bead heads, green The white ones are like spring buds, and the white ones are like the dewdrops of midnight, with golden light, silver light and morning light reflecting each other, which is so beautiful.

Mingfang looked dumbfounded immediately, her face couldn't help showing coveting color, and told the stewards standing on both sides to straighten their lips, cursing Guan Jia really poorly, and she couldn't get on the stage. Minglan was also taken aback, afraid of embarrassing her master, and hung her head to cover up. On the contrary, Guan Suyi was indifferent, only swiping the corner of his eye and drinking tea slowly.

Zhao's family was a former criminal minister. After being assigned to the frontiers, he went to the Jiuli tribe to earn a marquis, which is a bit of a foundation. But the Ye family is different. They have been in business for generations and have low status. They traveled between various vassal states and nomadic tribes. They were engaged in the business of brokers, making a lot of money in the country. They reselled whatever they needed in the war. Food, herbs, horses, etc., until the establishment of the Wei state, they accumulated a huge amount of wealth. With money, he naturally wanted to have power and status, so Ye Zhen became Zhao Luli's wife.

This set of confession was her dowry. Guan Suyi didn't know her in her previous life, and she accepted the "filial piety" of her stepdaughter. Zhao Luli was reprimanded by Zhao Luli. In this life, she dare not ask for anything from Zhao Chunxi.

"Take the gift back. I don't care about it with a little girl." Guan Suyi clicked on the book that was placed on hand, and said manly, "I just turned over "The Family Records". It turns out that your Zhao family did not It is not the lineage of the Zhao family in Tianshui, or even the concubine. It is just that the Zhao family in Tianshui fled to Lincheng during the war to survive, so he borrowed the name of the Zhao family in Tianshui, and had no surname. , And no family lineage. And your mother's Ye family..." At this point, she seemed to be afraid of soiling her lips and tongue, so she said, "Don't say it," and then gently blew the edge of the cup.

There was no abnormality on her face, but her every move showed strong contempt and contempt, and she was so angry that Zhao Chunxi, who was extremely self-esteem, was upset. And the group of stewards was also captured by her grace and dignity, and they broke out a lot of cold sweats.

When it is, the number of people who can literate and hyphenate is extremely rare, and books are more treasures than jewellery and jade, even if you have silver, you can’t buy it. "The Family Records" is an exquisite collection that everyone is eager for. With it, you can find the roots, ask the ancestors, and trace the origin. If one's own family is fortunate enough to be included in it, it would be a great honor, enough to engrave the relevant content on the inscription or seal, and pass on from generation to generation.

Nowadays, the wealth of aristocratic families has been more or less consumed by the flames of war, but as long as you enter their ancestral halls, you will surely see a copy of "The Family Records" enshrined in the most conspicuous position. Old Houye went to Tianshui when he was still alive, borrowing the copy of "A Family Record" from Zhao's family, but he was ridiculed, and he was seriously ill after he returned. Others wanted to ask for more details, they were all dragged out by him to reward the board, even the old lady and Hou Ye didn't understand the reason, but it irritated him several times after careful investigation, and finally it won't stop.

Thinking about how the old man made Zhao’s family trembling, people are panicked. These stewards are still fresh in their memories. When they look at the new lady and the scrolls she has on hand, they suddenly realize it, and then they are very in awe. It turns out that after Zhao Jia was escaped from slavery, it is no wonder that Lord Hou was ashamed to speak. Furthermore, "A Family Record" is not something that anyone can get. There is no one-year-old amulet, let alone the prime minister, even the emperor may not see it. The new lady throws it on the table casually, how confident is this?

Zhao Chunxi's cheeks have turned from purple to blue and white, and he resisted the desire to ask about Ye Jia's roots and feet, and smiled forcefully, "Then which line is your mother, your ancestor?" If there was any background, how could he be so poor that he couldn't even eat food before?

However, the world is dazzling, wars are raging, and there are many families who can't eat. She counted out more than ten after a little thought, and then swallowed the last sentence. Even if the children of aristocratic families are begging for food, they only need to count the ancestor's tablets one by one. Their poverty is only superficial, but their dignity is destined in blood.

Guan Suyi opened one of the pages, and slowly said, "The surname Guan is derived from the surname Ji, from Dongfu, a dragon-raising expert in the ancient Emperor Shun period. Because of his expertise in this way, the emperor gave him the special name of the dragon. Therefore, my The surname was originally called Guan Long, but was later simplified to Guan. My grandfather is a descendant of Guan Longfeng, the wise minister of Xia, and lives in Yanjing to escape Xia Jie’s prisoners. My Guan family is a scholarly family. Bring forth virtuous officials."

She put "A Family Record" into the brocade box, and her conversation suddenly changed, "So that you know, Guan Suyi was born in a humble background, but not in a poor family. I didn't mention that it was not because of my lowliness, but because I felt that it was unnecessary. On weekdays, I do not say anything. It does not mean that my ears and eyes are embolized, confused, or let you bully. I really want to talk about blood, honor, and power. I have no shortage of Guan family, let alone a declining Hou. The mansion is comparable. The emperor proclaimed himself emperor for one and a half years, when did your Lord Hou go to court..."

"Mother!" Zhao Chunxi guessed that Guan Suyi was about to make a fuss about the discord between his father and the emperor, so that the people of the Hou Mansion could see the reality and know good or bad, so they could not help but scream. Ever since she learned that marrying into Zhao Mansion was the result of Daddy Baba's begging, she has never stopped being disgusted with Hou Mansion, and she has even been lazy in disguising. She can stretch out her hand to beat her father, younger brother, and herself in the face, and open her mouth to pierce the predicament of the Hou Mansion, leaving no room for others. The powerful methods are inconsistent with the feminine appearance.

I hate her for being so acrid and mean, father and the old lady are still indulging, but Zhao Chunxi, the lady who used to be windy and rainy, can't breathe. She finally accepted the fact that the Hou Mansion had fallen last night. Today, Guan Suyi wants all her servants to understand the embarrassing situation of the proprietor. This is really a ruthless trick! Ruthier than peeling skins in public!

Zhao Chunxi couldn’t let her go on. He knelt on the ground and pleaded, “Mother, last night his brother was not filial and offended you. I also made a mistake in words, so I will apologize to you. Now that you have married into the Hou Mansion, let’s It's just a family. It should be hard work and work together, so why bother to say those foreign words that hurt each other's hearts? If anyone tells you again in the future, the daughter is the first to not forgive him!"

Guan Suyi definitely looked at her for a while before waving his hand, "Get up." She actually didn't think that the high officials and the high-ranking officials were so great, nor did she think that the dignity in the blood could represent everything. But after experiencing a humble and dusty life, she suddenly understood a truth-if you want to live in the Hou Mansion, you have to step on everyone under your feet, regardless of servants, stewards, or masters. As long as you show a little humble attitude, they will Insult you to your heart's content, as if you can have great fun in this way.

If you don’t like it, Hou’s Mansion is sometimes as good as the Shura Field, and Guan Suyi doesn’t plan to entangle these monsters, so she has to put on a high posture to let these people understand, let’s say Humiliation is her heel, not something they can touch.

Seeing that the eldest lady was kneeling, she continued to kneel down as soon as she was in charge. There were still a few self-reliant ones who barely straightened their backs, quite a bit of stubbornness, but heard the anxious voice of the maid outside, "Madam, in the palace. Someone is here, please go out and take the order!"

Guan Suyi didn't panic, leading a group of people outside the courtyard, looking up at the sky, and about three quarters in the hour, about the moment he went to the court, this decree was almost always requested by his grandfather and daddy, and it should be a good thing. Sure enough, the flattering little Huangmen quickly issued the imperial decree, to the effect that the saint was grateful for the emperor’s enlightenment, and the Guan’s Shu was cautious, diligent and submissive, elegant and pure, and gentle... Mrs. Guan Yipin Hou's position goes so far.

Zhao Luli and Sun also hurried over, knelt down on the corridor, and their expressions changed a lot after hearing a lot of praise. Because Ye Zhen hated the Sun family, at the beginning of the establishment of the Wei state, when the emperor assigned all the heroes and their families, he left out the old lady of the Zhenbeihou Mansion alone, and everyone saw a small joke. For this reason, Zhenbei Hou Mansion never walked with other Gong, Hou, and Bo Mansions for fear of embarrassment and no one took care of it.

Now, the new wife of Hou's house finally got a first-class fate, which means that the female relatives of Hou's house in Zhenbei can finally go out to socialize with their heads upright. How can it not be exciting? Sun almost fainted happily, Zhao Luli was also very pleased, but Zhao Chunxi was so happy and resentful that he didn't know how to react.

Those arrogant stewards were already scared to death, wiping their sweat while thinking about how to ingratiate themselves with the newly-launched Yipin Madam. As for being a ghost? Who has the guts now?
