It means putting away all the lanterns and festoons! In fact, this should be on display for a month.

What can Master Ba say? "I'll send someone over later."

Then one of them went to the front to entertain the guests, while the other was already packing up the things in the new house. They also changed the red curtains and quilts, and even the pillows. They just changed them to elegant colors and put on the homely bedding. That's it.

Afterwards, he washed up and changed into homely clothes. When he came out, he discussed with the housekeeper how to put things. For example, the red silk was "put away and sealed with oil paper, and then cut out and put on when giving gifts."

Just use it.”

In the evening, Ba Fujin sat opposite Ba Ye, with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face. He asked: "Then I will ask someone to send the pair of cards. I will ignore the family affairs for the past two years." If the palace is not happy, then it must be done.

Ask the palace to vent this anger.

Although there is an extra Xiang Fujin, as long as he is not here to rob the man. Household affairs... With these three or two masters now, what do they have to do with the housework?

Looking at the pair of cards delivered that night, Minggu asked someone to collect them.

The girl who followed whispered, "Auntie, why do you have to..."

"Shut up!" Minggu's eyes became a little more stern, "From now on, put away the unwillingness on your face! What is there to be unwilling to do? Remember it, just like it is in the palace, it will still be the same in the mansion.

There can only be one mistress in this house, and that is Fujin. People, you must be self-aware and abide by your duties. The emperor loves the eighth master and has a fatherly heart. He granted the marriage for the sake of family harmony.

If it is because of me that the Eighth Master and Fujin couple are at odds, wouldn't it mean that we have failed the Emperor's hard work?"

The next day, he paid homage to Fujin, and he was more respectful than when he saw Fujin in the palace. He had a soft smile on his face as always, but he said this, "It's getting hotter today, and the woman's body is getting hotter."

Some symptoms are often caused by cold. This cold syndrome is best treated after spring and before autumn. It would be better to invite an imperial doctor to come and nurse Fujin slowly. This is for the sake of the heirs!"

I found a reasonable and honorable excuse and asked Bafujin to stay away from the limelight and not show up for the time being.

Since you need to recuperate, then let other things go for a while.

Ba Fujin smiled politely: "The general affairs in the mansion will be busy."

"If you don't understand anything, please come over and ask Fujin." He didn't refuse and accepted it directly.

The next step is to organize the house. In the past, the front yard and the back yard were unclear. Now people say, "Before, there were only two masters, Ye and Fujin, in the house, so there was no need to distinguish them. But from now on, the population of the house will be different."

Gradually there are more and more, and there must be boundaries between the inner and outer courtyards."

The front yard is strictly divided, and she will not interfere with the eighth master's outer yard, but she has set a rule, "No one is allowed to enter or leave the yard without my permission. This is the rule of the house, and it is true for Fujin.

I am like this, and I am like this to any of you." The rules are so detailed that not a single piece of paper is allowed to be taken out without the master's consent. Once discovered, it will be a serious crime.

Moreover, she gave the cards in the outer courtyard directly to the Eighth Master, "The slaves in the inner house help Fujin with the cooking, and everything in the outer courtyard is involved in serious matters. The slaves grew up beside the Queen Mother, from the clan Fujin to the great minister of the Qing Dynasty.

No matter how big or small the imperial decree is, I don’t know how many people I’ve met. But even if it’s like this, I dare not say that I only understand the things outside. No matter how much knowledge I have, my vision will only be in the four directions of the inner house. Outside, the sky is high and the sky is vast.

, the things involved are all major events in the world? The emperor has entrusted me with big things, how dare you, the slave, to lose something big because of a small thing."

After that, they left.

Holding the right cards, Master Ba understood what Minggu meant. She talked about herself everywhere, but she was also talking about Fujin. She grew up beside the Queen Mother, so her knowledge was much higher than that of Fujin who grew up in the palace? But she still

Don't dare to interfere at will without knowing the bounds of heaven and earth. What about Fujin?

This is not a warning to myself!

Immediately afterwards, the eighth master changed the chief steward of the outer courtyard, and the original steward was placed in the imperial palace. It was wrong for a great steward in charge of the outer courtyard to put Fujin first in everything. It was Fujin who gave the order, but

You have to ask me first before you can decide.

Fujin crossed the line first, but the housekeeper misunderstood later.

Ba Ye thought that Fujin would understand what such a move meant. But what he didn't expect was that He Zhuo had just announced that he had a daughter. Fujin didn't tell him, so he sent someone to tell He Zhuo that she was going to bring He Zhuo's family home.

The daughter was raised in the house. Minggu sent someone to invite her, and Master Ba only found out about it.

He Zhuo didn't come into the house to talk about this matter. It was Fujin's request that stumped him. Should he accept it or not?

Yes, the mother may not be willing to give up the child at such a young age! Besides, He Zhuo would not dare to raise the daughter of a Han minister in such a good way at this time.

No need, Fujin has already opened his mouth, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if he didn’t continue?

Master Ba could understand He Zhuo's thoughts very well. When he hurried to the main courtyard, Minggu was already sitting there.

The look on Minggu's face was still gentle, and she just asked: "Master He has an excellent reputation among the literati in Jiangnan. Do you like the girls from Mr. He's family who were educated in Fujin? Or do you want to show goodwill to the literati in Jiangnan? You

Is it intended to win the hearts of Jiangnan literati for me? Dare I ask Fujin, what does Master Ba want to win the hearts of Jiangnan literati?"

Master Ba’s face changed color instantly!

When Bafujin saw the change in Yinhu's expression, he hurriedly said: "How dare you think that? It's not that it's difficult to have an heir. They say it's easy to have an heir."

Minggu smiled gently again, "It's not difficult. If Fujin really wants to adopt a princess, it's easy. Please go to the clan mansion and ask if there are any orphan girls in the clan who are young and have no one to rely on, just take her back.

.Firstly, it’s because the clan is well-knit, and its status is noble and dignified. Secondly, the orphan girl is pitiful, and she should only do good deeds and accumulate virtue. Thirdly, she has no father and no mother, so she raises her relatives.”

Ba Ye agreed: "Ming Gu, go and do your work. I'll talk to Fujin."

Only then did Minggu get up. Before going out, she turned back and asked, "I will send someone to congratulate Master He right away."

good!

Minggu looked at Ba Fujin again, "I have to borrow the help of the nun next to Fujin."

Bafujin glanced at the nanny, nodded and followed her.

Inside, one could still hear Minggu telling the nanny, "When you are gone, please tell Mrs. He that we, Fujin, are looking for a little girl. When she gets a few years older, bring her to Fujin to see."

This means that after all the talk, the government has changed its mind and no longer wants to raise the child.

I am talking to Grandma, and I am also talking to Fujin!

When the voices outside were indeed far away, Bafujin calmed down the expression on his face and said, "I... am quite afraid of her."

Ba Ye leaned back on the chair: "Fu Jin, stay at home to recuperate. Later I will invite a small group of actors to come back. You can have fun at home, okay? Outside affairs have nothing to do with you. If you think I am incompetent,

I can't do things outside without you... Then I probably really can't do it! I disappoint you! If that's the case, I'll go and beg the emperor to allow us to separate. There are always capable people in this world, but I don't dare

Delayed you."

Ba Fujin suddenly turned pale: "Yinsu, what are you talking about?"

This time, Master Ba didn't stop, he got up and left. When he got outside, he gave the order, "The door to the house is open. Fujin can go wherever he wants without stopping him."

What I mean is, since confinement can't help you, then open the door and do whatever you want. The worst is that I'm not good enough for you, so let's break up.

Ba Fujin was immediately choked up and couldn't breathe, and he cried hard. Ba Ye didn't go back to Fujin's yard, but Fujin didn't go out of the yard either.

Minggu held the account book in her hand and ignored it after listening to it.

At night, grandma came in and reported: "I asked someone to reward the Zhou family in the backyard alone."

Mrs. Zhou was the palace maid given by Empress Hui to the Eighth Master in the early years, and she was raised in the courtyard in the corner of the mansion.

Ming Gu smiled and just said, "I know." Bafu Jin is really afraid of this reward!

She sighed, there are some people who just refuse to drink wine as a penalty. She is willing to take a step back and only be a nameless Bian Fujin. On the contrary, Ba Fujin thinks that Ba Ye cares about her. Now that she is fine, she knows that she is not afraid anymore!

If you know you are afraid, then you should learn to behave.

Minggu closed the account book and told the nanny, "You will send a message to Fujin tomorrow, saying that Liufujin has been making soup by himself. Unless there is something big that delays it, Liufujin will never stop serving Liubeile.

Liufujin never cheats on others in terms of food and clothing. Moreover, Liufujin lives a very simple life, and meals are always four dishes and one soup..."

Grandma was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses, then she turned around and walked out.

Bafujin heard this, but he had no choice but to accept it.

The next day, Bafujin will set up the small kitchen and ask the master to serve in the kitchen. She will learn how to cook and make soup from the master.

Ming Gu breathed a sigh of relief: Isn't this great! Learn how to cook, make clothes and shoes for the men if you have nothing to do, listen to a play, and have a free day in the blink of an eye.

These are the most pleasant days. There are good days, so why bother with other things? No one in the family likes the trouble, so why bother?

The cold war between the couple, with Minggu's guidance and Bafujin's cooperation, lasted for half a month. After Bafujin made four dishes and one soup, Minggu sent someone to ask Bafujin to show his favor and come to the backyard to have a meal.

.

People were invited, but Minggu didn't sit down. She only waited on the side, "Look, we in Fujin made this."

The shredded shredded meat was unevenly chopped, the shredded pork stir-fried in soy sauce was so salty that it looked like it killed the person who bought the salt, the green vegetables were fried until they turned yellow, and the scrambled eggs with green onions were just fine. The soup was just tofu soup, which looked good.

Milky white, milky white.

Mr. Ba tasted them one by one and kept nodding his head, saying, "No matter how good the cook is, he can't make it out of the emotional meaning inside."

Bafujin lowered his head and burst into tears.

Ba Ye swept away the food on the table and said, "It's delicious! In my whole life, I have never eaten such delicious food."

Ba Fujin stirred the handkerchief and whispered: "It's delicious... I'll make it for you more often in the future."

Only then did Master Ba see a small cut on his finger. He grabbed Fujin's hand and blew on it, "Let the cook do the food preparation from now on. Just help with the cooking. Look, it's scratched."

Ming Gu quietly left with a smile on her face.

Since the affairs of the palace could not be kept secret from the palace, the Empress Dowager asked people to secretly reward her, and the reward was sent to her house outside the palace.

She let out a long breath, knowing that she had done the right thing again. After growing up in the palace and seeing the ups and downs of the concubines in the palace, she couldn't think of anything else before she could go out and compete with others for a man.

If you respect yourself, others will respect you.
