Even if the old lady is sick, why does the head of the family need to go and pray for her in person? Even if she really goes to pray for her, when encountering such a big thing, can't she just go out and finish the work before continuing? Pei Xiner is so so

He said that it was obviously because Feng had committed a crime and was imprisoned in the family temple.

What kind of place is that temple? The conditions are difficult and the guards are tight. Anyone who is imprisoned in it cannot take a step outside the temple. If they have not committed a serious matter, Feng's identity will never be punished like that.

This discovery made the stewards increasingly panicked.

If Feng was just ill, there would still be a day for recovery, and they would just have to hold on until then. However, this time Feng has lost power, and it is still unknown whether she can make a comeback, in case she really has no chance of getting ahead.

What should they do if they follow her?

For a moment, the stewards had nothing else on their minds. They only had this thought whirling in their minds and could no longer think of anything else.

Pei Xiner glanced at them, slightly curved her lips, and asked, "What, do the stewards have any opinions on this arrangement?"

When everyone heard this, they were shocked and shook their heads in unison: "No? No, how dare you have any opinions? Aunt Pei is too worried!"

Ying'er glanced sideways at them, curled her lips and said, "Everyone in charge, my aunt and grandma still have a lot of things to do. You'd better say everything you need to say quickly, and don't waste any more time."

Everyone looked at each other, helpless, and had no choice but to suppress their uneasiness and start reporting one by one.

As the number of properties in the General's Mansion increases, the number of principals who need to report at the end of the year also increases. Even though Pei Xiner asked them to keep their stories short, they were still busy until sunset. This was only half done.

.

The chiefs at various places handed over all the accounts for the year. Pei Xiner had to read them one by one and then check them one by one to confirm that they were correct before the matter was completed. This project was very huge, and it was delayed at one time.

The last ten and a half days were normal, and there was no need to rush. Therefore, the principals had to go back temporarily and wait for Pei Xiner to notify them before they could come back. Since they had not heard anything beforehand,

Any rumors, many of the account books they brought this time were mixed with a lot of water, it would not be a good thing if it was found out, everyone couldn't help but feel a little anxious. However, the matter has reached this point, and it is necessary to change it temporarily.

It was too late, so they had no choice but to hand over the problematic account books. Then they prayed to God and Buddha in their hearts that Pei Xiner would not discover anything fishy.

Pei Xiner saw their expressions and eyes, but she just ignored them and sent them away. She got up and walked towards her yard, because she had been sitting for a long time, and her movements were a little bad.

Ying'er hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said distressedly: "Auntie, this is really hard, let's not do it in the future!"

Pei Xin'er smiled bitterly. She looked at her, but before she could speak, Ruiniang interrupted and scolded her: "What nonsense are you talking about?! This matter is the true symbol of leadership. The general gave it to his aunt to do.

This is a kind of statement! How can anyone take the initiative to push out something that no one else can ask for?!"

Ying'er stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. In fact, why didn't she understand this truth? She just blurted it out because she felt sorry for Pei Xin'er and it was too hard.

Pei Xiner sighed and said, "What do you mean by saying something or not? I don't care about this, but I can't make the decision myself. Everything still depends on what I want."

While talking, several people walked through the Moon Cave Gate and walked slowly towards the inner house.

Suddenly, a little maid ran over panting and said to Pei Xiner: "Aunt Pei, the general has ordered that distinguished guests will be coming tonight. Please be sure to prepare a table of delicious dishes to entertain the guests!"

Pei Xiner was stunned for a moment, looked at her and said, "I understand. But have you ever told me what the identity of this guest is?"

The little maid shook her head and said, "The general never mentioned it."

Pei Xin'er was not surprised by this answer. She was just asking for luck. In fact, Zhao Yutsang rarely entertained guests at home because he was afraid of being accused of forming a clique for personal gain, so he sent someone specially to do so like today.

The number of people who come to explain is even rarer, which is enough to explain the problem. What's more, if Zhao Yutang values ​​​​such a distinguished guest, if he really needs to reveal his identity to her, he will do it himself and will not pretend to others.

She didn't say anything more, just said calmly: "When you go back to the general, tell me that I know. If the distinguished guest has any dietary taboos or any special favorite dishes, you might as well tell me. That way

Only then can we be truly satisfied."

The little maid agreed, turned around and retreated. Pei Xiner rubbed her sore waist, sighed, and said to Ying'er: "Let's go, go to the kitchen first. Ruiniang, you go back first and take care of the children.

Tell Sister Ling to take a good look at your brothers and sisters, and I will go back later."

Ruiniang nodded, bowed, and continued to walk forward. Although Ying'er felt sorry for her master, she also knew the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to neglect it. She helped Pei Xin'er turn into the side path and walked towards the kitchen.

.

At this time, in Zhao Yuchang's study, Pei Xin'er didn't know that the distinguished guest had actually arrived and was sitting behind the desk where Zhao Yuchang usually sat. After hearing the little maid's report, she couldn't help but laugh.

"This concubine of yours is really interesting. She is so considerate in dealing with people. I heard that she is just a daughter of Orion? I'm really curious how you trained her." He said with a smile.

Zhao Yutang twitched the corner of his mouth to give some reaction. He said calmly: "Although she is the daughter of an Orion, she can be regarded as growing up in the house. She is influenced by what she hears and sees, so she will naturally be affected."

As he said this, what he was thinking about was that five years ago, Pei Xiner was still a woman who could not stand on the stage. Compared with the Sun family, the Li family was not much better. However, two years ago, at Zhuangzi in Dingxiang, she was again

When he saw her once, she seemed to be completely transformed, and even he couldn't help being surprised. Is it really just because he has experienced more things that he has become more mature?

His doubts were not expressed aloud, and the guests opposite him naturally had no way of knowing. He smiled and did not dwell on the issue. He rolled his eyes and said, "She asked me if I had any favorite dishes."

, then just let her cook for me personally. I would like to see what the craftsmanship of a female celebrity is like for someone who does things neatly."

A trace of displeasure flashed in Zhao Yutsang's eyes, but he didn't say anything. He just found the little maid again and followed the guest's instructions, asking the little maid to inform Pei Xin'er.

When Pei Xin'er received such an order, she was completely speechless. She hadn't cooked for a long time, and she didn't know how much of her original cooking skills were left. Now she was going to cook for the distinguished guests who Zhao Yutang valued so much.

, Aren’t you afraid that the distinguished guest will be angry?

She was in a dilemma, and after thinking about it, she had no choice but to ask the cook to cut a plate of cold vegetables. She mixed them with her own hands and counted them, leaving the rest to the cook. She just did the last one or two steps.

If you do something, it can be considered as something you did "with your own hands", right?

In this way, a sumptuous dinner was quickly prepared. When it was time to turn on the lights, Pei Xiner arranged the dining room and sent someone to notify Zhao Yuchang. She originally planned to retreat and go back to eat with the children, but Zhao Yuchang unexpectedly

Yu Tiao sent someone to tell her that she didn't have to avoid it, so she could stay and have dinner together.

This kind of Zhao Yutang made her feel extremely weird, and she almost didn't dare to recognize him! Whether he asked her to cook with her own hands, or let her eat together, it was not something that Zhao Yutsang could do with his personality.

, it is more likely to come from the request of a distinguished guest. However, she is a married woman after all. No matter from any point of view, this approach is a bit excessive. Zhao Yutang has always been a person who attaches great importance to rules, and I doubt she would approve of it.

Do this.

But he still gave the order, which can only mean one problem, that is, the status of the distinguished guest is too high, so high that Zhao Yutang simply cannot refuse.

With Zhao Yutsang's current status, how many people in the world can use his status to suppress others and force him to compromise?

Suddenly, she couldn't help but be startled by her guess, and shook her head involuntarily, wanting to deny this ridiculous idea. However, when she thought about it, based on the friendship between the two people, this was not completely impossible!

While she was struggling, she heard a burst of footsteps, and the voices of Zhao Yuchao and another person came into her ears. The strange but somewhat familiar voice, coupled with the guess made just now, immediately reminded her of Chen Feng

The memory suddenly shocked my heart.

Following the words, Zhao Yutiao and another handsome and handsome man walked in, talking and laughing along the way.

However, if you observe carefully, you can still see the subtle differences between the two. For example, sixty-seven times out of ten, the person speaking is the same man, and Zhao Yutsang only echoes, and he is always half a step back from the man.

, and didn’t really keep pace with him.

When Pei Xiner looked at the man, she immediately felt like a basin of cold water was poured down on her head. Her least expected guess had come true. For a moment, she really didn't know how to react.

But no matter what, the etiquette must be followed. She bent her legs, knelt down immediately, kowtowed her head respectfully, and said: "Common woman bows to the emperor, long live long live long live."

When she knelt down like this, the other people were immediately stunned. Those people were just servants of the Zhao family, how could they have seen the emperor? What's more, they never dreamed that the emperor would come to their house without saying a word.

was greatly affected

Frightened, I knelt down one after another with "thump" and "thump", my mind went blank. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.
